Ever wondered how technologies interact with each other? This study is like a field guide to technology ecosystems. It splits tech interactions into four groups, just like in ecology. First, there's what they call 'technological parasitism. ' One tech is thriving, while the other feels the pinch. Th
In recent years, researchers have been working hard to fix a big problem with data security in Mifare Classic. One of the issues is that it doesn't create random numbers very well. This makes it easier for attackers to use something called a SAT solver to break the security. To make Crypto-1 stronge
Imagine trying to understand a complex puzzle by only looking at the pieces' colors. That's similar to how we've been categorizing crimes. We slap a single label on each crime, like "burglary" or "assault, " and call it a day. But crimes are way more intricate than that. They involve a mix of behavi
Imagine you're on a quest to find aliens. But what exactly are you searching for? And how do you know if you've found them? Scientists use a slightly different approach. They think about it like a test with two results: true or not quite right. They use something called the Bayes factor to compare t
Imagine a device that boosts your leg power and helps you move better. That's exactly what an electrically actuated lower limb exoskeleton (LLE) does. This clever contraption is made up of three main parts: the mechanical structure, the actuation system that makes it move, and the sensors that help
You might think that labeling crimes as simple categories like "burglary" or "assault" is enough to understand them. But hold on, it's not that straightforward! Each crime is a mix of behaviors, situations, and details that can't be crammed into a single box. This loss of information makes it tough
Ever wondered how technologies interact with each other in complex systems? This study proposes a new way to classify these interactions, drawing inspiration from ecology. Imagine two technologies, T1 and T2, working together in a system called S. Sometimes, one technology benefits while the other s
You might have heard that Jeremy Clarkson is back in the fields for more farming adventures. His hit show, Clarkson’s Farm, just got renewed for another season.
