Up In Arms: Slingstone Assemblages From The Late Prehistoric Sites Of ‘En Ẓippori And ‘En Esur, Gil Haklay, Hendrik Bron, Dina Shalem, Ianir Milevski, Nimrod Getzov

'Atiqot

This paper presents the slingstone assemblages recovered from two large-scale excavations at the Late Pottery Neolithic/Early Chalcolithic (c. 5800–4500 cal BCE) sites of ‘En Ẓippori and ‘En Esur. Based on contextual, morphometric and other archaeological data, we suggest that during this time, the slings and slingstones were used as weapons. The high number of slingstones found within the settlements, and the traits of systematic production they reflect (formalization, standardization and time-consuming manufacturing), point to an organized production of weapons, interpreted as an escalation in the preparations for war, alluding to the possible existence of local power centers in the region.

Establishing A Secure Sharing Environment Using Partial Cryptographic Keys, Salmaan Rashid

Defensive Publications Series

A system for establishing a secure sharing environment using partial cryptographic keys. The proposed system uses a complete cryptographic key divided into multiple partial keys and provided to two or more participants. The participants attest each TEE of the secure sharing environment desired for use and send, to each TEE, their respective partial key. Each TEE combines the received partial keys to generate the complete cryptographic key. Using the complete cryptographic key, the TEEs can securely communicate and share data with each other.

Defensive Publications Series

A cloud platform can receive encrypted data from a keyboard. A client device that includes the keyboard can connect to the cloud platform via a network. The keyboard can receive input from input components. A keyboard controller of the keyboard can encrypt the received input into encrypted data. The client device can receive encrypted data from the keyboard. The client device can transmit the encrypted data to the cloud platform without decrypting the encrypted data. At the cloud platform, the encrypted data can be decrypted by a decryption module, and used for an application of the cloud platform.

Optimizing Network Switch Power Consumption Via Smart Led Control, Kabiraj Sethi, Andrew Lu, Ramesh Yeevani

Defensive Publications Series

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on network switches provide useful visual indication of switch activity and important alerts of potential anomalies. Constant activation of these LEDs may lead to energy waste because an interested user is often not nearby to observe them. Conventional techniques for controlling LEDs typically allow users to use a Command Line Interface (CLI) command or Graphical User Interface (GUI) click to turn the LEDs off. However, these conventional approaches are inflexible and require significant user involvement. To address these issues, techniques proposed herein provide SmartLED, an intelligent LED control that leverages proximity sensors, physical buttons, and/or user input …

Perceptions Of Sport Fandom As A Means Of Meeting Psychological Needs, Daniel L. Wann Phd

Findings in Sport, Hospitality, Entertainment, and Event Management

The current study examined the use of sport fandom and team identification to assist in meeting four basic psychological needs: belonging, distinctiveness, structure, and meaning. The results indicated that fans view both general sport fandom and team identification as having the capability of helping them meet each of the needs, especially the need to belong. Additionally, team identification was believed to be more effective in assisting with the need for distinctiveness than was general sport fandom.

The Changing Geography Of Population Centroids In The United States Between 1970 And 1990, Neela Thapar, David Wong, Jay Lee

The Geographical Bulletin

Population centroids are useful tools in describing the general trend of population movements. This paper uses population centroids to show the changing geography of the U.S. population between 1970 to 1990. Data of population counts of census tracts and census block groups were obtained from the Internet. With a geographical information system, weighted population centroids for each of the 48 states in the continental U.S., four census regions, and nine census divisions for 1970, 1980 and 1990 were calculated. The findings indicate that the westward movement of the U.S. population remains strong and that a southward trend of population movement …
