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....

The Biosphere-Atmosphere Transfer Scheme (BATS) ground snow albedo algorithm is commonly used in land-surface models (LSM), weather forecasting and research applications. This study addresses key uncertainties BATS simulated within the Noah-MP LSM framework through evaluation optimization of formulation using 2-band (visible near-infrared (NIR)) situ observations at Rocky Mountain field station...
