Perceptions of access to harm reduction services during the COVID-19 pandemic among people who inject drugs in metropolitan Chicago. by Kathleen Kristensen, Basmattee Boodram, Wendy Avila, Juliet Pineros, Carl Latkin, Mary-Ellen Mackesy-Amiti

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>The lack of perceived changes in harm reduction access by PWID and the decrease in those reporting difficulty accessing syringes as the pandemic progressed suggests the efficacy of adaptations to harm reduction service provision (e.g., window and mobile service) during the pandemic. Further research is needed to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic may have impacted PWIDs' engagement with harm reduction services.…”

Influence of the Methane–Zeolite a Interaction Potential on the Concentration Dependence of Self-Diffusivity by Chaitanya A. Krishna, Subramanian Yashonath, Andreas Schüring, Siegfried Fritzsche, Jörg Kärger

“…Fritzsche and co-workers (1993) have shown that these two potentials lead to two distinctly different energetic barriers for the passage of methane through the eight-ring window in the cation-free form of zeolite A. Here, we compute the variation of the self-diffusivity (D) with loading (c) for these two types of potentials and show that this slight variation in the diameter changes the concentration dependence qualitatively: thus, D decreases monotonically with c for model A, while D increases and goes through a maximum before finally decreasing for model B. …”

Best practice advice for asthma exacerbation prevention and management in primary care: an international expert consensus by Neil Skolnik, Barbara P. Yawn, Jaime Correia de Sousa, María Mar Martínez Vázquez, Amanda Barnard, Wendy L. Wright, Austin Ulrich, Tonya Winders, Stephen Brunton

“…Evidence supports the use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) + fast-acting bronchodilator treatments when used as needed in response to symptoms to improve asthma control and reduce rates of exacerbations, and the symptoms that occur leading up to an asthma exacerbation provide a window of opportunity to intervene with ICS. Incorporating patient perspectives and preferences when designing asthma regimens will help patients be more engaged in their therapy and may contribute to improved adherence and outcomes. …”

Multi-type low-rate DDoS attack detection method based on hybrid deep learning by Lijuan LI, Man LI, Hongjun BI, Huachun ZHOU

“…Low-Rate distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack attacks the vulnerabilities in the adaptive mechanism of network protocols, posing a huge threat to the quality of network services.Low-Rate DDoS attack was characterized by high secrecy, low attack rate, and periodicity.Existing detection methods have the problems of single detection type and low identification accuracy.In order to solve them, a multi-type low-rate DDoS attack detection method based on hybrid deep learning was proposed.Different types of low-rate DDoS attacks and normal traffic in different scenarios under 5G environment were simulated.Traffic was collected at the network entrance and its traffic characteristic information was extracted to obtain multiple types of low-rate DDoS attack data sets.From the perspective of statistical threshold and feature engineering, the characteristics of different types of low-rate DDoS attacks were analyzed respectively, and the effective feature set of 40-dimension low-rate DDoS attacks was obtained.CNN-RF hybrid deep learning algorithm was used for offline training based on the effective feature set, and the performance of this algorithm was compared with LSTM-Light GBM and LSTM-RF algorithms.The CNN-RF detection model was deployed on the gateway to realize the online detection of multiple types of low-rate DDoS attacks, and the performance was evaluated by using the newly defined error interception rate and malicious traffic detection rate indexes.The results show that the proposed method can detect four types of low-rate DDoS attacks online, including Slow Headers attack, Slow Body attack, Slow Read attack and Shrew attack, and the error interception rate reaches 11.03% in 120 s time window.The detection rate of malicious traffic reaches 96.22%.It can be judged by the results that the proposed method can significantly reduce the intensity of low-rate DDoS attack traffic at the network entrance, and can be deployed and applied in the actual environment.…”
