A matter of timing: Biting by malaria-infected Anopheles mosquitoes and the use of interventions during the night in rural south-eastern Tanzania. by Isaac Haggai Namango, Sarah J Moore, Carly Marshall, Adam Saddler, David Kaftan, Frank Chelestino Tenywa, Noely Makungwa, Alex J Limwagu, Salum Mapua, Olukayode G Odufuwa, Godfrey Ligema, Hassan Ngonyani, Isaya Matanila, Jameel Bharmal, Jason Moore, Marceline Finda, Fredros Okumu, Manuel W Hetzel, Amanda Ross

“…Due to the high use of ITNs, an estimated 85% (95% CI 81%, 88%) of all exposure in children below school age and 76% (71%, 81%) in older household members could potentially be averted by ITNs under current use patterns. Outdoor exposure accounted for an estimated 11% (8%, 15%) of infective bites in children below school age and 17% (13%, 22%) in older individuals. …”

A statistical approach to the use of control entropy identifies differences in constraints of gait in highly trained versus untrained runners by Rana D. Parshad, Stephen J. McGregor, Michael A. Busa, Joseph D. Skufca, Erik Bollt

“…Using High Resolution Accelerometry (HRA) signals we evaluate here constraints of running gait, from two different groups of runners, highly trained collegiate and untrained runners.To this end, we further develop the control entropy (CE) statistic to allow for group analysis to examine the non-linearcharacteristics of movement patterns in highly trained runners with those of untrained runners, to gain insight regarding gaits that are optimal for running. …”

Survey on the development of mimic defense in cyberspace:from mimic concept to “mimic+” ecology by Hailong MA, Liang WANG, Tao HU, Yiming JIANG, Yanze QU

“…Build upon the dynamic-heterogeneous-redundant architecture for multi-body execution, multi-mode ruling and multi-dimension reconstruction, cyberspace mimic defense (CMD) uses uncertain system to deal with the uncertain threat to cyberspace ubiquity.The evolution of CMD over the past 8 years were reviewed systematically from the vertical, horizontal, current, developing and future perspectives.From the vertical perspective, the development process of CMD from concept to theory and practice was summarized.From the horizontal view, it elaborated the core structure DHR (dynamical heterogeneous redundancy) of CMD, the principles based on CMD’s three major theorems, safety gains and performance costs.A comparison was conducted between CMD and five other active defense technologies, namely intrusion tolerance, moving target defense, zero trust architecture, trusted computing and computer immunology.From the current perspective, it reviewed the implementation elements, performance, system architecture, heterogeneous strategies, scheduling strategies, voting strategies and other common technology patterns and characteristics of 11 types of main existing mimic products including mimicry router, mimicry processor, mimicry DNS server and mimicry cloud platform.From the developing perspective, it explored the “mimic+” AICDS (Mimic + AI/IoT/Cloud/Data/SDN) symbiotic ecology with respect to 5 types of new technologies, namely artificial intelligence, Internet of things, cloud computing, big data and software-defined network, and proposed the corresponding technology junctions and cross research value.From the future perspective, it looked into the future mimicry baseline 2.0 product ecology, “mimic +5G/6G”, “mimic + edge computing”,“mimic + cloud” and “mimic + blockchain” application scenarios.Besides, 4 types of challenges faced by CMD in the future were analyzed and summarized, including escape space of multi-mode decision attack, mutual restriction of heterogeneous and synchronous, difficult balance between security and function, and limited transformation space of existing endogenous security components.…”
