We discuss some of the problems Noah had to face when he established his famous bagel business; Noah had to decide how many bagels of each flavor should be produced in each of his bakeries, subject to space, production and flavor popularities constraints. Noah’s goal was to find solutions that maximize his revenue (the revenue problem) while guaranteeing satisfaction to his customers (the balan...

On 13 November 2020, the plasma-physics community lost distinguished scientist and teacher Noah Hershkowitz, Irving Langmuir Professor Emeritus of Engineering Physics at University Wisconsin–Madison (UW–Madison). Few have contributed so much broadly to field plasma science. Noah’s work was foundational in nature, but it profoundly influenced applications spanning gamut from materials processing...

I have long enjoyed teaching, and have had a wide variety of teaching jobs over the past dozen years. I’ve worked in many different capacities at summer math programs for nine summers, I taught a sophomore tutorial at Harvard, I’ve given over 30 seminar talks at Berkeley, and I taught four sections of Calculus at U.C. Berkeley. Beyond a general interest in teaching, I have strong particular int...

We introduce the notion of a half-ribbon Hopf algebra, which is a Hopf algebra H along with a distinguished element t ∈ H such that (H, R,C) is a ribbon Hopf algebra, where R = (t ⊗ t)∆(t) and C = t. The element t is closely related to the topological ‘half-twist’, which twists a ribbon by 180 degrees. We construct a functor from a topological category of ribbons with half-twists to the categor...

The aim of the NoAH deliverable D0.1 is to summarise and to analyse the state–of–the–art related to the aims of the NoAH project. This document focuses on surveying existing honeypot architectures and security monitoring infrastruc-tures, contrasting their relative advantages, and investigating their interoperability issues. The state–of–the–art is divided into the three categories projects, to...

This document discusses the optimization of the NoAH components with respect to the detection speed of novel cyberattacks, the accuracy of the detection methods, the effectiveness of the virtual machine containment environment, and the robustness of the NoAH infrastructure against malfunctions and/or malicious attacks.

The National Elevation, Hydrography and Land Cover datasets of the United States have been synthesized into a geospatial dataset called NHDPlus which is referenced to a spheroidal Earth, provides geospatial data layers for topography on 30 m rasters, and has vector coverages for catchments and river reaches. In this article, we examine the integration of NHDPlus with the Noah-distributed model....
