Performance and limitations of linkage-disequilibrium-based methods for inferring the genomic landscape of recombination and detecting hotspots: a simulation study by Raynaud, Marie, Gagnaire, Pierre-Alexandre, Galtier, Nicolas

“…Using simulations, we specifically assessed the impact of methodological (sample size, phasing errors, block penalty) and evolutionary parameters (effective population size (Ne),  demographic history, mutation to recombination rate ratio) on inferred map quality. We report reasonably good correlations between simulated and inferred landscapes, but point to limitations when it comes to detecting recombination hotspots. …”

Synthesis, characterization, and application of novel reusable clay-based magnetic nanocomposite for the removal of organic dyes from water by Abdelfattah Amari, Norah Salem Alsaiari, Naim Ben Ali, Mohamed A Ismail, Mohamed A Tahoon

“…The nanocomposite can be reused for multiple cycles with a little drop in its initial performance, according to reusability research conducted up to six times using ethyl alcohol as the eluent. As a result, this reasonably priced adsorbent might be employed as a beneficial and effective dye adsorbent for the removal of MB from water while maintaining the safety of the water quality.…”

Understanding North Korea: Rimjin-gang Citizen Journalists Out to Cure the “Sick Man of Asia”? by Suzy Kim

“…The magazine is important to evaluate for several reasons. Not only does it claim to be "the first magazine about North Korea written by North Koreans" (The Nation), but it is also touted as "the first publication to create a channel for two-way communication between the divided Korean people," as exemplified by the title "Rimjin-gang" - the name of the river that flows across the De-Militarized Zone dividing the north and south.This article is an attempt to engage in a critical conversation about how we know what we know about North Korea, reflecting upon the historical and structural conditions that configure the way North Korea is known and understood by those outside North Korea.…”

Strategy of container migration and honeypot deployment based on signal game in cloud environment by Lingshu LI, Jiangxing WU, Wei ZENG, Wenyan LIU

“…Multi-tenant coexistence and resource sharing in the SaaS cloud pose serious security risks.On the one hand, soft isolation of logical namespaces is easy to be bypassed or broken.On the other hand, it is easy to be subjected to co-resident attacks due to sharing of the host operating system and underlying physical resources.Therefore it poses a serious threat to data availability, integrity and confidentiality in the container cloud.Given the problem that SaaS cloud services are vulnerable to container escape and side-channel equivalent resident attack, network deception technology increases the uncertainty of the cloud environment and reduces the effectiveness of attack by hiding the business function and characteristic attributes of the executor.Aiming at the security threat caused by the co-resident attack, combining dynamic migration and virtual honeypot security technology, the economical and reasonable network deception method was studied.Specifically, a container migration and honeypot deployment strategy based on the signal game was proposed.According to the security threat analysis, container migration and honeypot were used as defense methods.The former improved the undetectability of the system based on the idea of moving to target defense, while the latter confused attackers by placing decoy containers or providing false services.Furthermore, since network reconnaissance was the pre-step of the network attack chain, the attack and defense process was modeled as a two-person signal game with incomplete information.The sender chose to release a signal according to his type, and the receiver could only obtain the signal released by the sender but could not determine the type.Then, a game tree was constructed for the complete but imperfect information dynamic game, and the costs and benefits of different strategy combinations were set.The optimal deception strategy was determined by equilibrium analysis of attack-defense model.Experimental results show that the proposed strategy can effectively improve system security.Besides, it can also reduce container migration frequency and defense cost.…”
