  • Description: Topic: From Skyjacking to Carjacking: Challenges and Opportunities in Securing Modern Navigation Technologies Speaker: Dr. Aanjhan Ranganathan, Assistant Professor Khoury College of Computer Sciences Northeastern University Location: Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 222 Abstract: Modern transportation systems rely heavily on accurate positioning and navigation technologies, which have become increasingly vulnerable to security threats. In this talk, we will explore the security challenges associated with secure positioning and navigation in modern vehicles, including the impact of GPS spoofing on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the security problems of instrument landing systems used in aviation as one of the primary means of navigation aid for landing. We will also discuss the security problems of automotive radar, where we will show how easily radio frequency radar signals can be manipulated to fake distances and velocities, compromising the safety of the vehicle and passengers. We will see how even with cryptographic primitives, the challenges to securing positioning, navigation, and timing technologies is no trivial task. The talk will aim to highlight the fundamental limits that exist in securing current technologies and a call for designing secure alternatives. Biography: Aanjhan is an Assistant Professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, USA. He is also an affiliate faculty in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His current research revolves around the security and privacy of wireless networks with a strong focus on autonomous cyber-physical systems and smart ecosystems. He has worked on a wide variety of topics including physical-layer security of wireless systems, secure localization and proximity verification, trusted computing architectures, and side-channels. Aanjhan is a recipient of several awards, including the prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award, which supports his research on building next-generation wide area positioning networks. His work has been funded by various agencies, including the NSF, the Swiss Federal Department of Defense, Civil Protection and Sport (armasuisse), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and the Army Research Laboratory (ARL).

  • Description: Title: A Gendered Approach to Attributions in Real Life: How Individual Beliefs Influence Human Judgements Regarding Responsibility Abstract: Research has documented that individuals place responsibility on women as victims for their involvement in instances of violent crimes. Gender roles, stereotypes, and sexism have all contributed to this pattern. Simultaneously, the continuation of gender roles and sexism have led to violent crimes, specifically rape, against women. Prior pilot data has shown correlations between gender and general responsibility scenarios, victim perpetrator sexual responsibility vignettes, ambivalent sexism scores, and attitudes about reality scores. In addition to gender roles and biases, other facets likely influence attributions of responsibility of individuals associated with violent crimes, including empathy and experience of violence. The present study explores ratings of responsibility in violent crimes with a focus on the following predictors: gender, benevolent and hostile sexism, attitudes about reality, and empathy.

  • Description: Topic: Robust Spectral Estimation and Adaptive Beamforming with Linear Combinations of Order Statistics Location: Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 212 Zoom Conference Link: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/96475537559 Meeting ID: 964 7553 7559 Passcode: 448179 Abstract: The sample mean is widely employed in parameter estimation problems, but the sensitivity to outliers in data limits its scope of use. In contrast, estimators based on order statistics avoid the bias caused by outliers. This dissertation proposal will study the properties of order statistics and their combinations applied to estimation problems in both spectral analysis and array signal processing. In spectral analysis, the loud transients often present in acoustic recordings are the outliers. Those transients introduce bias to Welch's spectral estimator. Schwock and Abadi [2021] showed that a modified Welch estimator based on the 80th sample percentile is the minimum variance unbiased estimator based on a single order statistic. This work developed a hybrid approach between Welch's and order statistics estimators by performing a weighted sum of the quietest subset of ordered samples of the periodograms. By discarding the loudest samples of the periodogram, the truncated linear order statistics filter (TLOSF) reduces the bias caused by loud transients. By combining multiple order statistics into the estimate, the TLOSF achieves a lower variance than the 80th percentile estimator. Employing parameter estimators based on order statistics can also be useful in array processing of narrowband signals. When applied to the Dominant Mode Rejection adaptive beamformer, median filtering provides a more accurate estimate of the background noise power than the sample mean. Similar to the Welch percentile spectral estimator, this work plans to investigate which order statistics other than the median serves as an unbiased or minimum variance estimator of the noise power. In addition, a weighted sum of order statistics should further reduce the variance of the noise power estimator while keeping its accuracy. Advisor(s): Dr. John R.

  • Department of Fisheries Oceanography Seminar Announcement-Dr. Christopher Murray
  • Location: > See description for location
  • Contact: > See Description for contact information
  • Description: The School for Marine Science and Technology Department of Fisheries Oceanography Seminar Announcement “The Ecophysiology of Forage Fishes Under Emergent Climate Stressors” Dr. Christopher Murray Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Wednesday, April 26, 2023 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm SMAST East 101/102 And via Zoom Abstract: Forage fishes are critical components of most coastal marine food webs and understanding their vulnerability to emergent climate stressors is central to predicting ecosystem resilience more broadly. For example, Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) reproduce in shallow nearshore habitats throughout Pacific Northwest where their embryos and larvae are routinely exposed to coastal acidification events and severe marine heatwaves. In a recent series of studies, we comprehensively evaluated the thermal plasticity of herring embryos under the combined effects of acidification and extreme temperature variability. In some cases, long-term exposure to elevated CO2 elicits a chronic stress response in fish that could increase susceptibility to disease. In a collaboration with the Western Fisheries Research Center, we investigated the chronic effects of acidification on the immune response of juvenile herring infected with a pathogenic virus. On the northwest Atlantic shelf, the Northern sand lance (Ammodytes dubius) ranks among the most important forage fish species. Intensive experimental work by our group has conclusively demonstrated that sand lance embryos are exceptionally vulnerable to acidification through a novel mechanism of CO2-induced mortality. The rapid onset of ocean acidification in the Northwest Atlantic will likely impact the reproductive viability of this key species by the end of this century absent rapid adaptation. Bio: Dr. Murray is an integrative fish biologist who combines laboratory studies with field-based observations to better understand the processes that mediate phenotypic plasticity and flexibility under emerging climate stressors. His work primarily focuses on fish early life stages, which constitute a ‘critical window’ of sensitivity to environmental stress. Chris conducted his dissertation research at the University of Connecticut’s Department of Marine Sciences before moving to the Pacific Northwest where he worked as a research associate with the Washington Ocean Acidification Center and the University of Washington. Currently, Chris is an NSF postdoctoral investigator at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution where he is studying the multigenerational impacts of coastal hypoxia and acidification in a coastal forge fish. **************************************************************************** Zoom Link https://umassd.zoom.us/j/93758230260?pwd=OHJ5UDloQkZZaCtXcTlBNlR6Qm0rQT09https://umassd.zoom.us/u/acosTPRs4V Meeting ID: 937 5823 0260 Passcode: 426839 One tap mobile +13017158592,,93758230260#,,,,*426839# US (Washington DC) +13126266799,,93758230260#,,,,*426839# US (Chicago) Dial by your location +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 646 876 9923 US (New York) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) Find your local number: ****************************************************************************** For additional information, please contact Sue Silva at s1silva@umassd.edu

  • Description: The School for Marine Science and Technology Department of Estuarine and Ocean Sciences Seminar Announcement “How do Albatrosses fly around the world without flapping their wings?” Philip Richardson Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Wednesday, April 26, 2023 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm SMAST East, Rooms 101/102 And via Zoom Abstract: Wandering albatrosses fly long distances over the Southern Ocean, even around the world, without flapping their wings. This has raised interest in how they perform such a feat. Albatrosses are able to do so by “dynamic soaring,” which extracts energy for flight using the vertical gradient of the wind velocity near the ocean surface. The birds soar in an S-shaped trajectory repeatedly crossing through the wind shear layer while soaring in various directions relative to the wind direction, including directly upwind by tacking like a sailboat. A simple dynamic model explains how this works including defining the minimum wind speed for soaring and the maximum observed airspeed to limit stress on the birds’ wings. Dynamic soaring is an extremely powerful method of gaining energy from the wind; recently albatross-sized radio-controlled gliders have achieved speeds reaching 550 miles per hour using dynamic soaring in winds blowing over mountain ridges. The seminar will describe some general techniques for bird soaring and a brief history of dynamic soaring, which starts with Leonardo da Vinci (1513) and continues with Lord Rayleigh (1883). Long GPS trajectories of wandering albatrosses breeding on South Georgia Island in the far Southern Atlantic are presently being used to investigate their soaring ability and flight characteristics. ******************************************************************************** Join Zoom Meeting https://umassd.zoom.us/j/97440069270?pwd=L2Z1bDZESTFCKzJYZWduYVhWenYvZz09 Meeting ID: 974 4006 9270 Passcode: 428029 One tap mobile +13017158592,,97440069270#,,,,*428029# US (Washington DC) +13126266799,,97440069270#,,,,*428029# US (Chicago) Dial by your location +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 646 876 9923 US (New York) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) Meeting ID: 974 4006 9270 Passcode: 428029 Find your local number: https://umassd.zoom.us/u/adtxYu9NMO Join by SIP 97440069270@zoomcrc.com Join by H.323 162.255.37.11 (US West) 162.255.36.11 (US East) 115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai) 115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad) 213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands) 213.244.140.110 (Germany) 103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney) 103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne) 149.137.40.110 (Singapore) 64.211.144.160 (Brazil) 149.137.68.253 (Mexico) 69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto) 65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver) 207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo) 149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka) Meeting ID: 974 4006 9270 Passcode: 428029 ******************************************************************************** For additional information, please contact Sue Silva at s1silva@umassd.edu

  • Description: The School for Marine Science and Technology Department of Fisheries Oceanography PhD Dissertation Defense "Simulating ocean acidification in the Northeast U.S. region using a fully coupled three-dimensional biogeochemistry and ecosystem model" By Lu Wang Advisor Prof. Changsheng Chen Committee Members Prof. Geoffrey Cowles (UMassD) Prof. Joseph Salisbury (UNH) Prof. Kevin D.E Stokesbury (UMassD) Prof. Rubao Ji (WHOI) Thursday, April 27, 2023 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm SMAST East, Room 101 836 S. Rodney French Blvd, New Bedford and via Zoom Abstract The Northeast Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Model (NeBEM) was developed by integrating the Northeast Coastal Ocean Forecast System (NECOFS) with European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model (ERSEM). ERSEM was upgraded to include volume and mass conservation adjustment, total variational diminishing biogeochemical tracer advection scheme, groundwater module, and spatially dependent parameter specifications. NeBEM was first validated through one- and three-dimensional experiments in Massachusetts Bay and then applied to simulate the 2017-2018 physical and biogeochemistry fields in the U.S. region. The model skill assessments demonstrated the NeBEM’s capability of reproducing the seasonal variability of ����3, ����4, ������4, ����, Chl-a, ����, ������, ����, ������2, and ���� in a multi-scale region varying from estuaries to continental shelves. Process-oriented studies suggested that the changes in ���� was predominantly manipulated by ������ variability in the Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) and Georges Bank (GB), and DIC plus TA in the Gulf of Maine (GOM) and Scotian Shelf (SS). Generally, the tidal-mixed areas, such as the western shelf of Nova Scotia, Fundy Bay, Nantucket Shoals, Long Island Sounds, and estuaries connected to the northern GOM, were most susceptible to the OA. From January to April, the inner shelf, especially near rivers, experienced a period of low ���� (<1.0), with the largest area occurring in March. During this period, the surface ������ was increased by ����2 loading through the air-sea interface via NEC. Over the outer shelf, the total ������ amount was predominantly replenished by the onshore slope-water inflow. The model suggested that warm core rings (WCRs) and eddies (WCEs) played an essential role in enhancing the slope-water transport to the shelf, which accounted for an ~35% increase in the ������ flux. The observed data generally fell within the range of the simulated n����:n������ slope. The distribution of simulated n����:n������ ratio varied from region to region. The biogeochemical variability of ���� and ������ was primarily controlled by the nitrification/denitrification process in the GOM and MAB, the air-sea ����2 exchange in the open sea (OS), and the multiple biogeochemical processes in SS and GB. The influence of climate change on OA was assessed using NeBEM by 1) considering observational data-projected increases in ������, atmospheric ����2 loading, and river discharges, and 2) a downscale climate (NCAR-CESEM-BC)-regional (WRF)-NeBEM coupled model. Both approaches consistently show that regional warming will intensify the anticyclonic residual circulation gyre over GB and the cyclonic gyre in Wilkinson Basin but weaken the cyclonic gyre in Jordan Basin. March will still be the highest probability month with the maximum area of a yearly minimum ���� under changing climate. Increased atmospheric ����2 loading against global warming will enlarge yearly minimum ���� area during March by 8% in SS, 3% in the GOM, 18% over GB, and increase the probability of having the minimum ���� to occur earlier. Warming will increase the probability of having the yearly lowest ���� to occur in the bottom layer in the GOM and MAB. Due to the cancellation of global-warming and increased atmospheric ����2 loading effects, the ���� and ������ variability will still be controlled by the nitrification/denitrification process in the GOM and MAB, the air-sea ����2 exchange in OS, and multiple biogeochemical processes in SS and GB. ************************************************************************ Join Zoom Meeting https://umassd.zoom.us/j/96069484140?pwd=U0xXZjZsbnlCWGpHcEJHdytpb2tndz09 Meeting ID: 960 6948 4140 Passcode: 002494 **************************************************************************** For additional information, please contact Sydney Carreiro at Scarreiro1@umassd.edu

  • Description: Topic: Spectral Projection Model for Electromagnetic Scattering and Radiation Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A Zoom Conference Link: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/96090411149 Meeting ID: 960 9041 1149 Passcode: 020796 Abstract: The Spectral Projection Model (SPM) and Direct Spectral Projection Model (DSPM) are spectral techniques for analyzing the scattering patterns from two-dimensional objects. By employing the addition theorem for Hankel and Bessel functions, SPM represents the incident and scattered electric fields in the electric field integral equation and magnetic field integral equation as projections of spectral signatures. The spectral signature of a vector which may be represented as a sum of multiple vectors is shown to be the convolution of the spectral signatures of the individual vectors. The convolution operation is performed using Hadamard products in the Fourier domain. This allows SPM to be applied to a variety of different surfaces which may be described as a sum of vectors. The far-field scattering pattern is also shown to be the Discrete Fourier Transform of the spectral signature of the currents induced on the surface. The DSPM, which evolved from SPM, identifies a set of virtual sources that are the eigenfunctions of the scattering process. The currents induced on the surface are calculated by decomposing the spectral signature of the incident sources in terms of the spectral signatures of these virtual sources. This approach applies to both far-field (scattering) and near-field (radiation) sources. Both the SPM and DSPM techniques were then applied to a variety of elliptical cylinders for waves incident from different incident angles and different polarizations. The techniques produced good agreement with well-established Method of Moments techniques. The primary motivation for developing these models was the projection process clearly identifies the physics of the scattering process by separating the spectral signature of the induced currents from the shape of the object. This allows these models to be used as a design tool for surface or target synthesis. Advisor(s): Dr. Dayalan P.

  • Description: Topic: Dependability Modeling and Analysis of Blockchain-Based Systems Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A Zoom Conference Link: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/98092685237 Meeting ID: 980 9268 5237 Passcode: 494029 Abstract: The blockchain technology has immense potential in diverse applications, such as cryptocurrencies, financial services, smart contracts, supply chains, healthcare, and energy trading. Due to the business-critical and/or safety-critical nature of these applications, it is pivotal to model and evaluate the dependability of blockchain-based systems, contributing to their reliable and robust design and operation. In this dissertation, potential risks to the blockchain-based systems are examined. Impacts of critical parameters like block size, block interval, stale block rate on the system performance are investigated through case studies. We then model and analyze the dependability of Bitcoin, a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency system built upon the blockchain technology that enables an individual user to trade freely without involving any intermediate agents. Three attack models are considered, including the Eclipse attack that aims to monopolize the information flow of the victim node, the selfish mining attack that aims to collect unfair mining rewards by intentionally withholding blocks, and the 51% attack that aims to control over 50 percent of the network nodes for gaining the power to alter the blockchain. Analytical methods based on continuous-time Markov chains, semi-Markov processes, and multi-valued decision diagram are investigated for the dependability analysis of Bitcoin nodes and networks subject to attacks. Effects of several model parameters related to the miner's habits in system protection, restart, and mining frequency, time to restart, time to detect and delete the malicious message, as well as parameters reflecting computing power and attack triggers of selfish miners and recovery capabilities of honest miners are examined. This dissertation also contributes by proposing two defensive strategies: the dynamic difficulty adjustment algorithm and the acceptance limitation policy. Case studies show that both strategies can effectively discourage dishonest selfish miners and improve the overall dependability and resilience of the system against selfish mining attacks.
