Abstract:

Over the last decades, fault injection attacks have been demonstrated to be an effective method for breaking the security of electronic devices. Some types of fault injection attacks, like clock and voltage glitching, require very few resources by the attacker and are practical and simple to execute. A cost-effective countermeasure against these attacks is the use of a detector circuit which detects timing violations - the underlying effect that glitch attacks rely on. In this paper, we take a closer look at three examples of such detectors that have been presented in the literature. We demonstrate four high-speed clock glitching attacks, which successfully inject faults in systems, where detectors have been implemented to protect. The attacks remain unnoticed by the glitch detectors. We verify our attacks with practical experiments on FPGA.

Abstract:

Traditionally a large role has been attributed to the spread of clocks and watches in fostering a ‘modern’ awareness of time. Yet, little research is available that empirically enables signs of growing time awareness to be linked to the distribution of time-keeping devices. In this article both these phenomena are brought together using two independent sets of evidence that permit the hypothesis that clocks and watches contributed to a heightened consciousness of time to be tested. While the ownership of clocks and watches was socially skewed, highly gendered and unevenly distributed over time, time awareness – as exemplified throughout numerous court cases – was essentially none of these.

Abstract:

As we reflect each year on our success in teaching the concept of time, we have been frustrated with the rote-memorization approach that the second and third graders use in learning to read an analog clock. We have watched them struggle with the skill of telling time and with the appropriate use of time-related language. The Grouchy Ladybug (Carle 1977) has frequently been mentioned as a book that is appropriate for teaching many concepts, including the concept of time. With proportionately depicted art. the book explores the adventures of a self-important insect bent on conquering a new animal in each passing hour.

Abstract:

In 1572 Robert Dudley gave to his queen a tiny clock set in a bracelet, an object scholars believe to be the first wristwatch. While Dudley’s gift to Elizabeth i was striking in its innovation, it was not the only timepiece he or those in his circle gave her. Using the New Year’s Day “Gift Rolls,” only recently collected from disparate archives and transcribed from manuscript by Jane Lawson, I establish that Dudley and those associated with him turned to this particular form of gift more often than other Elizabethan courtiers. Using theories of gifting I go on to argue that courtly gift exchanges involving elaborate private clocks and watches allowed Dudley and his circle to suggest their unique usefulness to Elizabeth i by offering her ways to imagine their service and her sovereignty.

Abstract:

75Au25Cu was the basic rosy gold alloy for jewelry, but it had no good brightness and was prone to tarnish and darken. This paper modified this basic alloy through multiple elements and less (micro) alloying, and measured its color and discoloration-resistance. The results showed that small amounts of zinc plus trace of silicon and cerium helped to improve the color and discoloration-resistance of the alloy, the initial colorimetric values fell in between 5N-18 standard alloy and 75Au25Cu basic alloy, while the brightness reached nearly 86, implying that the color was superior to the requirements of EN28654:1993 and ISO8654:1997. Moreover, the test alloy had better preferable resistance to darkening, discoloration and oxidation. All these performances indicated that the test alloy could meet the color requirement of rosy gold for ornaments such as clocks & watches and jewelries.

Abstract:

The notion of soundless music seems contradictory, even absurd: the concept of soundless musical experience less so. In this article, I explore two quite different descriptions of this kind of experience as set out in two mid-twentieth-century Irish novels. In one, Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman, the narrator watches one of the titular sergeants enjoy music that he – the narrator – cannot hear. In the second, Ralph Cusack's Cadenza, the narrator watches as a village priest mimes playing the piano on a café table, a performance he ‘hears’ and appreciates. Speculatively combining and extending these episodes, and using the figures of the philistine and the aesthete in Adorno's Aesthetic Theory as a key, I suggest that an anxiety about music and musical expression characterized the newly independent Ireland, an anxiety linked to wider concerns often read as ‘postcolonial’.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Many DNA methylation-based indicators have been developed as summary measures of epigenetic aging. We examine the associations between 13 epigenetic clocks, including 4 second generation clocks, as well as the links of the clocks to social, demographic, and behavioral factors known to be related to health outcomes: sex, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, obesity, and lifetime smoking pack-years. Methods The Health and Retirement Study is the data source which is a nationally representative sample of Americans over age 50. Assessment of DNA methylation was based on the EPIC chip and epigenetic clocks were developed based on existing literature. Results The clocks vary in the strength of their relationships with age, with each other and with independent variables. Second generation clocks trained on health-related characteristics tend to relate more strongly to the sociodemographic and health behaviors known to be associated with health outcomes in this age group. Conclusions Users of this publicly available data set should be aware that epigenetic clocks vary in their relationships to age and to variables known to be related to the process of health change with age.

Abstract:

Luxury sports products and brands in general have seen a significant increase in their sales, highlighting the high consumption of smart sports watches. The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of cobranding, self-presentation, self-expression, and symbolic values in the relationship between the consumer’s need for uniqueness and the intention to repurchase luxury smart sports watches. The sample consisted of a total of 217 users of smart sports watches. An online questionnaire was used for data collection (24 items from 6 scales) and Smart PLS-SEM software was used for confirmatory factor analysis and to test a structural equation model. The findings provide an insight into the importance of cobranding on self-expression, self-presentation, and symbolic value. Specifically, in the case of intention to repurchase, the results show that symbolic value is the variable with the highest predictive value. This study provides an important advance in the academic literature related to luxury products in the sports sector, and the results facilitate a better understanding of the consumer’s intention to repurchase.

Full text

Abstract:

Active clocks could provide better stabilities during initial stages of measurements over passive clocks, in which stabilities become saturated only after long-term measurements. This unique feature of an active clock has led to search for suitable candidates to construct such clocks. The other challenging task of an atomic clock is to reduce its possible systematics. A major part of the optical lattice atomic clocks based on neutral atoms are reduced by trapping atoms at the magic wavelengths of the optical lattice lasers. Keeping this in mind, we find the magic wavelengths between all possible hyperfine levels of the transitions in Rb and Cs atoms that were earlier considered to be suitable for making optical active clocks. To validate the results, we give the static dipole polarizabilities of Rb and Cs atoms using the electric dipole transition amplitudes that are used to evaluate the dynamic dipole polarizabilities and compare them with the available literature values.

Abstract:

Atomic clocks are highly precise timing devices used in numerous Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) applications on the ground and in outer space. In recent years, however, more precise timing solutions based on optical technology have been introduced as current technology capabilities advance. State-of-the-art optical clocks—predicted to be the next level of their predecessor atomic clocks—have achieved ultimate uncertainty of 1 × 10−18 and beyond, which exceeds the best atomic clock’s performance by two orders of magnitude. Hence, the successful development of optical clocks has drawn significant attention in academia and industry to exploit many more opportunities. This paper first provides an overview of the emerging optical clock technology, its current development, and characteristics, followed by a clock stability analysis of some of the successfully developed optical clocks against current Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellite clocks to discuss the optical clock potentiality in GNSS positioning. The overlapping Allan Deviation (ADEV) method is applied to estimate the satellite clock stability from International GNSS Service (IGS) clock products, whereas the optical clock details are sourced from the existing literature. The findings are (a) the optical clocks are more stable than that of atomic clocks onboard GNSS satellites, though they may require further technological maturity to meet spacecraft payload requirements, and (b) in GNSS positioning, optical clocks could potentially offer less than a 1 mm range error (clock-related) in 30 s and at least 10 times better timing performance after 900 s in contrast to the Galileo satellite atomic clocks—which is determined in this study as the most stable GNSS atomic clock type used in satellite positioning.

Abstract:

Aging clocks are predictive models of biological age derived from age-related changes, such as epigenetic changes, blood biomarkers, and, more recently, the microbiome. Gut and skin microbiota regulate more than barrier and immune function. Recent studies have shown that human microbiomes may predict aging. In this narrative review, we aim to discuss how the gut and skin microbiomes influence aging clocks as well as clarify the distinction between chronological and biological age. A literature search was performed on PubMed/MEDLINE databases with the following keywords: “skin microbiome” OR “gut microbiome” AND “aging clock” OR “epigenetic”. Gut and skin microbiomes may be utilized to create aging clocks based on taxonomy, biodiversity, and functionality. The top contributing microbiota or metabolic pathways in these aging clocks may influence aging clock predictions and biological age. Furthermore, gut and skin microbiota may directly and indirectly influence aging clocks through the regulation of clock genes and the production of metabolites that serve as substrates or enzymatic regulators. Microbiome-based aging clock models may have therapeutic potential. However, more research is needed to advance our understanding of the role of microbiota in aging clocks.

Full text

Abstract:

Continuous and stable precision satellite clock offsets are an important guarantee for real-time precise point positioning (PPP). However, in real-time PPP, the estimation of a satellite clock is often interrupted for various reasons such as network fluctuations, which leads to a long time for clocks to converge again. Typically, code biases are assumed to stay constant over time in clock estimation according to the current literature. In this contribution, it is shown that this assumption reduces the convergence speed of estimation, and the satellite clocks are still unstable for several hours after convergence. For this reason, we study the influence of different code bias extraction schemes, that is, taking code biases as constants, extracting satellite code biases (SCBs), extracting receiver code biases (RCBs) and simultaneously extracting SCBs and RCBs, on satellite clock estimation. Results show that, the time-varying SCBs are the main factors leading to the instability of satellite clocks, and considering SCBs in the estimation can significantly accelerate the filter convergence and improve the stability of clocks. Then, the products generated by introducing SCBs in the clock estimation based on undifferenced observations are applied to PPP experiments. Compared with the original undifferenced model, clocks estimated using the new method can significantly accelerate the convergence speed of PPP and improve the positioning accuracy, which illustrates that our estimated clocks are effective and superior.

Abstract:

The recently observed circadian oscillations of the intestinal microbiota underscore the profound nature of the human–microbiome relationship and its importance for health. Together with the discovery of circadian clocks in non-photosynthetic gut bacteria and circadian rhythms in anucleated cells, these findings have indicated the possibility that virtually all microorganisms may possess functional biological clocks. However, they have also raised many essential questions concerning the fundamentals of biological timekeeping, its evolution, and its origin. This narrative review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent literature in molecular chronobiology, aiming to bring together the latest evidence on the structure and mechanisms driving microbial biological clocks while pointing to potential applications of this knowledge in medicine. Moreover, it discusses the latest hypotheses regarding the evolution of timing mechanisms and describes the functions of peroxiredoxins in cells and their contribution to the cellular clockwork. The diversity of biological clocks among various human-associated microorganisms and the role of transcriptional and post-translational timekeeping mechanisms are also addressed. Finally, recent evidence on metabolic oscillators and host–microbiome communication is presented.

Abstract:

Background. Today smart watches, fitness bracelets, smart rings are must-have accessory for everyone who cares about their health. It is projected that the average annual growth of the wearable device market in 2021–2026 will be 18 %, which is respectively reflected in this segment of the Ukrainian market. Well-known electronics stores use different approaches to group the range of wearable devices, as there are no single standards to classify these products. The aim of this article is to develop a classification of wearable devices and to identify the classification featuresfor smart watches and fitness bracelets based on the analysis of the assortment presented in online stores. Materials and methods. Methods of logical analysis, generalization of scientific literature, statistical data of export and import of wearable devices were applied. Data on their assortment and grouping in well-known retail chains were used to create a classification. Results. Based on the analysis of the world market of electronic goods and the assortment of well-known retail chains, the authors propose a classification of goods related to wearable devices. In particular, there is a division of wearable devices into 7 groups (wrist devices, head devices, smart clothes, smart shoes, smart jewelry, wearable devices, medical devices), these groups include subgroups, categories and subcategories. Only a few types of wearable devices are sold on the Ukrainian market – smart watches, fitness bracelets, virtual reality glasses and smart rings. However, only two retail chains allocate these products separately in the product group "Wearable Products", the others form a large product group "Gadgets…", which according to the authors is not entirely correct, as the latter differ significantly in purpose and characteristics. Since the range of smart watches and fitness bracelets is quite wide and includes hundreds of types, it is proposed to use a number of classification features that clearly distinguish them by their functionality. Conclusion. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the wearable devices market segment will continue to grow. Restrictions on mobility and an individual’s desire to monitor vital signs of their health during a pandemic will be the main factors that will influence the market for these devices. The classification of goods related to wearable devices has been developed. The classification features for smart watches and fitness bracelets, the range of which includes hundreds of types, are proposed. It is established that the main difference between smart watches and a fitness bracelets is a wider functionality of the first and a much longer battery life of the latter.

Abstract:

Robust biomarkers of chronological age have been developed in humans and model mammalian species such as rats and mice using DNA methylation data. The concept of these so-called “epigenetic clocks” has emerged from a large body of literature describing the relationship between genome-wide methylation levels and age. Epigenetic clocks exploit this phenomenon and use small panels of differentially methylated cytosine (CpG) sites to make robust predictions of chronological age, independent of tissue type. Here, we present highly accurate livestock epigenetic clocks for which we have used the custom mammalian methylation array “HorvathMammalMethyl40” to construct the first epigenetic clock for domesticated goat (Capra hircus), cattle (Bos taurus), Red (Cervus elaphus) and Wapiti deer (Cervus canadensis) and composite-breed sheep (Ovis aries). Additionally, we have constructed a ‘farm animal clock’ for all species included in the study, which will allow for robust predictions to be extended to various breeds/strains. The farm animal clock shows similarly high accuracy to the individual species’ clocks (r > 0.97), utilizing only 217 CpG sites to estimate age (relative to the maximum lifespan of the species) with a single mathematical model. We hypothesise that the applications of this livestock clock could extend well beyond the scope of chronological age estimates. Many independent studies have demonstrated that a deviation between true age and clock derived molecular age is indicative of past and/or present health (including stress) status. There is, therefore, untapped potential to utilize livestock clocks in breeding programs as a predictor for age-related production traits.

Abstract:

This study discusses the use of anthropomorphism in two episodes of Upin and Ipin entitled Aku Sebatang Pensel and Aku Sebuah Jam. Through observation and note-taking techniques, data were obtained to analyze how the two episodes humanize pencils and clocks. The results of the analysis show the presence of anthropomorphic elements in both episodes, including human characters, emotions, and human behavior given to pencils and clocks. The pencils in the episode Aku Sebatang Pensel behave like humans with the ability to speak, interact, and show emotions such as worry, anger, pride, sadness, and joy. Meanwhile, the clock characters in the episode Aku Sebuah Jam also show human behavior with the ability to speak, share experiences, show concern, and dance. Sad emotions are also displayed by the clock characters. The characteristics of pencil and clock characters include helpful, encouraging, caring, argumentative, passionate, optimistic, cheerful, curious, obedient, and expressive. This study uncovers the use of anthropomorphism in Upin and Ipin animations, shedding light on its contribution to children's imagination, understanding of complex issues, and story appeal. Through this technique, young audiences can connect with the characters and develop empathy. The findings are relevant for the development of children's films and learning media, as an effective strategy to convey moral values. The study also encourages animation and creative producers to produce creative and diverse content, in line with the demands of complex audiences.

Abstract:

Prior research documents significant negative long-term stock returns following bond-rating downgrades. Some downgraded firms are placed on credit watches before downgrades, and we find that the post-downgrade stock underperformance of such firms is significantly reduced. We explore two explanations for the difference in post-downgrade stock performance that are not mutually exclusive: (a) a credit watch placement provides an early signal of the subsequent rating downgrade and gives investors more time to better understand the information content of the downgrade (the early-disclosure effect), and (b) a credit watch placement induces better recovery from credit deterioration for the downgraded firm in the long run (the recovery effect). We find that firms receiving watch-preceded downgrades show better improvements in operating profitability, financial leverage, and overall default risk, and are less likely to be further downgraded in future periods, compared with firms that are directly downgraded. Our findings suggest that the recovery effect is important in explaining downgraded firms’ performance in the long run and provide new evidence in support of the premise in the recent literature that credit watches can induce on-watch firms’ efforts to restore deteriorated credit quality.

Abstract: Wearable electronics and its related technologie’s demand is growing tremendously in recent years .The major developments that accelerated this growth are decrement in the size of wireless devices, advancement of high-speed wireless networks, accessibility of ultra-compact, evolving battery technologies. Most of the Wearable electronic devices for example smart watches, wristbands, rings etc; we use various types of antennas to sense, fetch, and exchange data wirelessly. As one of the best antennas in many terms like compact size, flexibility and easy design is the micrpstrip patch antenna, therefore designing of the same is done. We are designing a microstrip patch antenna as a wearable antenna for its main usage in WBAN (Wideband Body Area Network). The software of CST studio suite which is a 3D electromagnetic analyzer is udes to design the required antenna, where the methodology of cascading of two antennas is taken into account for the design with required gain.

Abstract:

Abstract An overall increase in life expectancy shines light on the complexity of human aging where some individuals seem to age at a faster pace than others, a phenomenon health care systems are already battling to identify. Multiple frailty scoring systems have been proposed as models for biological age estimations but their implementation within health care systems is time consuming and often deprioritized. Epigenetic clocks based on DNA methylation (DNAm) changes have been proposed as newer estimations of biological age, but there is conflicting data on the correlation between these two measures. We conducted a review of the literature to identify studies that have explored the correlation between frailty and epigenetic age. Our search strategy identified 37 articles, and after further screening we found 15 articles that directly compared frailty scores to epigenetic age. Most studies measured DNAm in whole blood (9/15), although there was great variability in the specific epigenetic clocks applied. Almost all studies measured frailty with either Fried’s frailty phenotype (4/15) or a Frailty Index (9/15). The studies were divided in their findings, with 7/15 showing moderate to strong associations and the other 8 studies showing no or weak associations. Interestingly, the associations with frailty were usually seen for epigenetic clocks predicting mortality or other phenotypes (eg GrimAge, PhenoAge), rather than epigenetic clocks predicting chronological age. More work is needed to understand the relationship between these biological age measures and their potential role in clinical risk assessment for older adults.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the screenplay "Check Your Watches" by Lina Kostenko and Arkadiy Dobrovolskiy in the context of intermedial studies. This text appears as an original intermedial genre construct, presenting a synthesis of two types of art (literature and cinema), but it also actively appeals to other arts: painting, sculpture, theater, music and, intertextually, to literature. Artistic codes permeate different levels of the text: the title complex, personosphere, composition, presenting the versatility, uniqueness and aesthetic level of the scriptwriters. The "decoding" of the screenplay artistic codes takes a leading position in the appropriate conceiving of the authors’ intentions and overall understanding of the screenplay ideological subtext, that testifies to its multi-layered, extremely powerful receptive potential.

Abstract:

English : The world is pictorial, it is also a movie. "Who is this painter"! Do not know! But a small part of the universe is born in the middle of these pictures and movies, it is time-consuming. One watches these movies during the movement of breaths and stops. This which he sees, passes through the camera of his eyes and is printed in the mind and heart. He is restless. Let me share that print. A hieroglyph of this sharing from the rest. The script rang, the pictures were painted, the colors were unrefined. Manas became fertile, art enriched by imagination. Art grew to vibrancy from the sentiments of human beings progressed by primitive barbarism. The infinite beauty of the parallel vision of creation embodied dance art, singing art with Prabhavishnuta. The instruments were unmodified. When the replica of nature was found to be a sound form, the concrete shape from the soil and stone was found in the form of "sculpture". Hindi : सृष्टि चित्रलिखित सी है, चलचित्र भी है। ''ये कौन चित्रकार है''! पता नहीं! पर सृष्टि का एक क्षुद्र हिस्सा भर मनुष्य इन चित्रों-चलचित्रों के बीच ही जनमता है, काल-कवलित होता है। सांसों के आने-जाने और रूक जाने की अवधि में इन चलचित्रों को देखता है। यह जो वह देखता है, उसकी आँखों के कैमरे से गुजरकर दिल-दिमाग में छपता है। उसे बैचेनी होती है। उस छपे को साझा करूँ। इस साझा करने की बैचेनी से जनमी चित्रलिपि। लिपि की बेल फैली, चित्र रचे चितेरों ने, रंग अविष्कृत हुए। मानस उर्वर हुआ, कल्पना से कला समृद्ध हुई। आदिम बर्बरता से आगे बढ़े मनुष्य के भावों से कला को स्पन्दन मिला। सृष्टि के समानांतर दृष्टि के अपरिमित सौंदर्य ने प्रभविष्णुता के साथ नृत्य कला, गायन कला को मूर्त्त किया। वाद्य अविष्कृत हुए। प्रकृति की प्रतिकृति ध्वनि रूप पा गयी तो मिट्‌टी और पत्थर से ठोस आकार ''मूर्तिकला'' रूप में मिला।
