“Our Life Was Divided in Many Facets”:Anna Foa Yona, an Anti-Fascist Jewish Refugee in Wartime United States by Stefano Luconi

“…This article reconstructs the plight of Anna Foa Yona, a Jewish expatriate who escaped from Italy, along with her family, in the wake of the Fascist 1938 anti-Semitic measures. She had opposed Benito Mussolini’s regime before fleeing the country and, notwithstanding the hardships of making a living in her adoptive society, continued to get engaged in anti-Fascist activities after moving to the United States. …”

The complete mitochondrial genome of an important medicinal plant, Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) DC., 1845 (Lamiales, Orobanchaceae) by Yu Bai, Huan An, Rengang Zhang, Yanna Ma, Hongjia Zhang, Zhili Guo, Li Zhao, Zhaoxuan Wang

“…The mitogenome contains 67 unique genes, comprising 43 protein-coding, three rRNA, and 21 tRNA genes, with six protein-coding and nine tRNA genes being chloroplast-derived. The phylogenetic analysis, based on the maximum-likelihood criterion, demonstrated that R. glutinosa is closely related to Aeginetia indica and Castilleja paramensis within the family Orobanchaceae.…”

Attacks on Telex Internet anticensorship system by Long-hai LI, Cheng-qiang HUANG, Wan-xing WANG, Jian-jun MU

“…As a typical router-redirecting based anticensorship system,Telex poses new challenges for Internet censors.To help common users evade Internet censorship,Telex employs network routers,rather than end-hosts,to relay network traffics to blocked destinations.The security of Telex from the censors' perspective is analyzed,and two kinds of active attacks aiming to break users' privacy are presented.The first is a kind of DoS attack,which exploits a security flaw of Telex handshake protocol.It can probabilistically identify the users who are using Telex,as well as break the availability of Telex.An improved handshake protocol to remedy the flaw is also proposed.The second is called TCP packets by-passing attack.Under that attacking scenario,censors make a small fraction of TCP packets from clients bypass the router and reach the cover site directly through asymmetric routing paths or IP tunnels,then determine whether a user is utiliz-ing Telex by observing the reaction of upstream traffic.The feasibility of bypassing attack has been testified by a series of experiments in a prototype environment.The bypassing attack is also applicable to other router-redirecting based anti-censorship systems.…”

Preparation and Protective Performance of High-Reflection and High-Thermal Insulation Laser Protection Coatings by LI Shuwen, WU Lingfeng, YANG Guanjun, CHEN Lin

“…Laser weapons have entered the actual combat application stage， and the research on anti-laser protection for air and space weapons is becoming increasingly urgent.Prolonged high-energy laser irradiation leads to problems such as reduced metal reflectance，mass loss of ablated layer of the ablative layer and insufficient heat insulation toughness.Based on this，a composite laser protection strategy based on the principles of reflection and heat insulation was proposed.In this study， by adjusting spraying power， spraying distance and other parameters， supersonic flame spraying technology and plasma spraying technology were used to prepare NiCoCrAlTaY bond coating and yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) top coating double-layer coatings， to explore the influence of surface roughness and porosity on reflectivity， and to investigate the laser protection performance of the coatings.Results showed that the larger the spraying power or spraying distance， the more obvious the layer effect， and the more cross-sectional pores were observed in the coating.The surface roughness of the coating decreased first and then increased with the increase in spraying distance.When the secondary reflection structure was removed， the coating surface had&#x00A0;Ra＝1.8 μm.When&#x00A0;Ra＝0.5 μm， the wedge-shaped structure of the coating increased the reflectivity by about 2.4%compared to that of the coating when&#x00A0;Ra＝1.8 μm.It was pointed out that the layered pores were key to the high-reflection wedge structure， the spherical voids were the laser absorption points，and the process parameter of 14.7%porosity (39 kW，100 mm) was the best.In the laser ablation experiment，with the increase in laser power density， the cracks in the coating gradually increased until holes were ablated.The line ablation rate increased approximately in a parabolic manner.With low laser power density (&lt;3 800 W/cm2)， the surface structure changed slightly； as the power increased， the surface cracks increased and deepened， and the petal-like structure in the recondensing zone increased.With high laser power density (&gt;8 050 W/cm2)， partial peeling and ablation of the coating surface caused the coating to fail.…”
