Implementation and Evaluation of an Assisting Fuzzer Harness Generation Tool for AUTOSAR Code
(2024)
The digitalization in vehicles tends to add more connectivity such as over-the-air (OTA) updates. To achieve this digitization, each ECU (Electronic Control Unit) becomes smarter and needs to support more and more different externally available protocols such as TLS, which increases the attack surface for attackers. To ensure the security of a vehicle, fuzzing has proven to be an effective method to discover memory-related security vulnerabilities. Fuzzing the software run- ning on a ECU is not an easy task and requires a harness written by a human. The author needs a deep understanding of the specific service and protocol, which is time consuming. To reduce the time needed by a harness author, this thesis aims to develop FuzzAUTO, the first assistant harness generation tool targeting the AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) BSW (Basic Software) to support manual harness generation.
The aim of this paper is to identify indicators at country level that could prove useful in improving the effectiveness of fraud detection in European Structural and Investment Funds. We analyse data for 454 funds, belonging to the period 2014-2020, from the 28 countries that were members of the European Union in 2014. Explanatory results suggest the convenience of tracking funds, especially in countries with higher GDP and higher transparency levels, and the lesser relevance of the number of irregularities for countries with higher GDP and those receiving larger funds. Fraud and fraud detection rates in individual funds vary significantly across states. Federal states, such as the Federal Republic of Germany, are comparatively successful in detecting fraud in EU funds.
Steroid hormones (SHs) are a rising concern due to their high bioactivity, ubiquitous nature, and prolonged existence as a micropollutants in water, they pose a potential risk to both human health and the environment, even at low concentrations. Estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone are the three important types of steroids essential for human development and maintaining multiorgan balance, are focus to this concern. These steroid hormones originate
from various sources, including human and livestock excretions, veterinary medications, agricultural runoff, and pharmaceuticals, contributing to their presence in the environment. According to the recommendation of WHO, the guidance value for estradiol (E2) is 1 ng/L. There are several methods been attempted to remove the SH micropollutant by conventional water and wastewater technologies which are still under research. Among the various methods, electrochemical membrane reactor (EMR) is one of the emerging technologies that can address the challenge of insufficient SHs removal from the aquatic environment by conventional treatment. The degradation of SHs can be significantly influenced by various factors when treated with EMR.
In this project, the removal of SH and the important mechanism for the removal using carbon nanotube CNT-EMR is studied and the efficiency of CNT-EMR in treating the SH micropollutant is identified. By varying different parameters this experiment is carried out with the (PES-CNTs) ultrafiltration membrane. The study is carried out depending upon the SH removal based on the limiting factor such as cell voltage, flux, temperature, concentration, and type of the SH.
Batteries typically consist of multiple individual cells connected in series. Here we demonstrate single-cell state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) diagnosis in a 24 V class lithium-ion battery. To this goal, we introduce and apply a novel, highly efficient algorithm based on a voltage-controlled model (VCM). The battery, consisting of eight single cells, is cycled over a duration of five months under a simple cycling protocol between 20 % and 100 % SOC. The cell-to-cell standard deviations obtained with the novel algorithm were 1.25 SOC-% and 1.07 SOH-% at beginning of cycling. A cell-averaged capacity loss of 9.9 % after five months cycling was observed. While the accuracy of single-cell SOC estimation was limited (probably owed to the flat voltage characteristics of the lithium iron phosphate, LFP, chemistry investigated here), single-cell SOH estimation showed a high accuracy (2.09 SOH-% mean absolute error compared to laboratory reference tests). Because the algorithm does not require observers, filters, or neural networks, it is computationally very efficient (three seconds analysis time for the complete data set consisting of eight cells with approx. 780.000 measurement points per cell).
Globale Ereignisse politischen, wirtschaftlichen oder kulturellen Ursprungs führen dazu, dass Unternehmen sich gezwungen sehen zu handeln, um wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben. In vielen Fällen wird dabei so vorgegangen, dass versteckte Preiserhöhungen vollzogen werden. Auch Unternehmen, die mit ihrem Angebot einen gesellschaftlichen Zusatznutzen erbringen, erhöhen die Preise, da nur so der verfolgte ökologische oder soziale Purpose erhalten werden kann, kommunizieren dies jedoch offen und erhöhen dadurch ihre Kundenloyalität. Dieses Vorgehen ist bislang jedoch überwiegend in den USA zu beobachten. Da das Thema Purpose auch in Deutschland immer höhere Relevanz erfährt, stellt sich die Frage der Übertragbarkeit. Die Forschungsfrage lautet deshalb: Inwiefern beeinflusst die Kommunikation von purpose-getriebenen Preissteigerungen das Markenimage von B2C-Unternehmen in Deutschland? Um der Forschungsfrage nachzugehen, wurde ein empirischer Forschungsansatz gewählt, der in Form einer quantitativen Studie umgesetzt wurde, die die Meinung der Studierendenschaft der Gen Z und Y der Hochschule Offenburg abbildet. Die Ergebnisse der Umfrage zeigten, dass die Glaubwürdigkeit und Akzeptanz von purpose-getriebenen Preiserhöhungen vom gegenwärtigen Markenimage bzw. dem übergeordneten Image einer Branche abhängen. Purpose wird eine hohe Bedeutung zugesprochen, die sich jedoch aufgrund der Preissensibilität der Zielgruppe nicht immer in der Markenwahl widerspiegelt. Dies verdeutlicht, dass Purpose das Potenzial besitzt, das Markenimage nachhaltig zu beeinflussen und zu prägen und die Zielgruppe der Gen Z und Y zukünftig an sich zu binden. Ferner wurde deutlich, dass bei der Umsetzung von Purpose bestimmte Kriterien verfolgt werden sollten, die bei der Kommunikation zu berücksichtigen sind, um eine authentische Wirkung zu erzielen.
In der Marketingstrategie von Event- und Club-Veranstaltern ist eine zielgerichtete Ansprache der Kundschaft unerlässlich, um eine nachhaltige Beziehung zur Zielgruppe aufzubauen und so den geschäftlichen Erfolg zu sichern. Während erhebliche Investitionen in herkömmliche Werbekanäle wie soziale Medien fließen, bleiben diese Plattformen oft ohne Garantie, dass die Werbemittel die relevanten Nutzer erreichen. Die White-Label-App beabsichtigt dieses Problem zu beheben, indem es Veranstaltern ermöglicht wird, eine engagierte Community direkt über die mobile Plattform aufzubauen und mit dieser zielgerichtet zu kommunizieren.
Das Kernziel der Bachelorarbeit ist die prototypische Entwicklung dieser Smartphone-App als individualisierbare und modulare White-Label-Lösung, die präzise auf die Bedürfnisse von Veranstaltern und deren Kunden zugeschnitten ist. Hierbei ist die zentrale Forschungsfrage: Wie kann eine modulare und individualisierbare White-Label-App effizient implementiert werden?
Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage werden auf Basis einer Wettbewerbsanalyse und der gründlichen Bewertung aktueller Best Practices im Bereich der App-Entwicklung verschiedene Aspekte untersucht. Hierzu zählen die Identifikation von möglichen Marktlücken und -chancen, die Eignung verschiedener Technologien und Entwurfsmuster, die Überwindung spezifischer Herausforderungen bei der Implementierung einer White-Label-App und die performante Integration der API.
Um einen praxisorientierten Ansatz zu gewährleisten, werden darüber hinaus verschiedene Kernfunktionalitäten der App beispielhaft implementiert. Dazu gehören Features wie eine Eventübersicht mit Informationen zu Veranstaltungen und ein Ticketingsystem mit Reservierungsmöglichkeiten.
An in-depth study of U-net for seismic data conditioning: Multiple removal by moveout discrimination
(2024)
Seismic processing often involves suppressing multiples that are an inherent component of collected seismic data. Elaborate multiple prediction and subtraction schemes such as surface-related multiple removal have become standard in industry workflows. In cases of limited spatial sampling, low signal-to-noise ratio, or conservative subtraction of the predicted multiples, the processed data frequently suffer from residual multiples. To tackle these artifacts in the postmigration domain, practitioners often rely on Radon transform-based algorithms. However, such traditional approaches are both time-consuming and parameter dependent, making them relatively complex. In this work, we present a deep learning-based alternative that provides competitive results, while reducing the complexity of its usage, and, hence simplifying its applicability. Our proposed model demonstrates excellent performance when applied to complex field data, despite it being exclusively trained on synthetic data. Furthermore, extensive experiments show that our method can preserve the inherent characteristics of the data, avoiding undesired oversmoothed results, while removing the multiples from seismic offset or angle gathers. Finally, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the model, where we pinpoint the effects of the main hyperparameters on real data inference, and we probabilistically assess its performance from a Bayesian perspective. In this study, we put particular emphasis on helping the user reveal the inner workings of the neural network and attempt to unbox the model.
A novel peptidyl-lys metalloendopeptidase (Tc-LysN) from Tramates coccinea was recombinantly expressed in Komagataella phaffii using the native pro-protein sequence. The peptidase was secreted into the culture broth as zymogen (~38 kDa) and mature enzyme (~19.8 kDa) simultaneously. The mature Tc-LysN was purified to homogeneity with a single step anion-exchange chromatography at pH 7.2. N-terminal sequencing using TMTpro Zero and mass spectrometry of the mature Tc-LysN indicated that the pro-peptide was cleaved between the amino acid positions 184 and 185 at the Kex2 cleavage site present in the native pro-protein sequence. The pH optimum of Tc-LysN was determined to be 5.0 while it maintained ≥60% activity between pH values 4.5—7.5 and ≥30% activity between pH values 8.5—10.0, indicating its broad applicability. The temperature maximum of Tc-LysN was determined to be 60 °C. After 18 h of incubation at 80 °C, Tc-LysN still retained ~20% activity. Organic solvents such as methanol and acetonitrile, at concentrations as high as 40% (v/v), were found to enhance Tc-LysN’s activity up to ~100% and ~50%, respectively. Tc-LysN’s thermostability, ability to withstand up to 8 M urea, tolerance to high concentrations of organic solvents, and an acidic pH optimum make it a viable candidate to be employed in proteomics workflows in which alkaline conditions might pose a challenge. The nano-LC-MS/MS analysis revealed bovine serum albumin (BSA)’s sequence coverage of 84% using Tc-LysN which was comparable to the sequence coverage of 90% by trypsin peptides.
