Knowledge Discovery from Network Logs
2015
Modern communications networks are complex systems, which facilitates malicious behavior. Dynamic web services are vulnerable to unknown intrusions, but traditional cyber security measures are based on fingerprinting. Anomaly detection differs from fingerprinting in that it finds events that differ from the baseline traffic. The anomaly detection methodology can be modelled with the knowledge discovery process. Knowledge discovery is a high-level term for the whole process of deriving actionable knowledge from databases. This article presents the theory behind this approach, and showcases research that has produced network log analysis tools and methods. peerReviewed
The history of chemical enrichment in the intracluster medium from cosmological simulations
2017
The distribution of metals in the intracluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters provides valuable information on their formation and evolution, on the connection with the cosmic star formation and on the effects of different gas processes. By analyzing a sample of simulated galaxy clusters, we study the chemical enrichment of the ICM, its evolution, and its relation with the physical processes included in the simulation and with the thermal properties of the core. These simulations, consisting of re-simulations of 29 Lagrangian regions performed with an upgraded version of the SPH GADGET-3 code, have been run including two different sets of baryonic physics: one accounts for radiative coolin…
Coupling hydrodynamics and radiation calculations for star-jet interactions in active galactic nuclei
2016
Context. Stars and their winds can contribute to the non-thermal emission in extragalactic jets. Because of the complexity of jet-star interactions, the properties of the resulting emission are closely linked to those of the emitting flows. Aims. We simulate the interaction between a stellar wind and a relativistic extragalactic jet and use the hydrodynamic results to compute the non-thermal emission under different conditions. Methods. We performed relativistic axisymmetric hydrodynamical simulations of a relativistic jet interacting with a supersonic, non-relativistic stellar wind. We computed the corresponding streamlines out of the simulation results and calculated the injection, evolut…
Dissipative Processes and Their Role in the Evolution of Radio Galaxies
2019
Particle acceleration in relativistic jets to very high energies occurs at the expense of the dissipation of magnetic or kinetic energy. Therefore, understanding the processes that can trigger this dissipation is key to the characterization of the energy budgets and particle acceleration mechanisms at action in active galaxies. Instabilities and entrainment are two obvious candidates to trigger dissipation. On the one hand, supersonic, relativistic flows threaded by helical fields, as expected from the standard formation models of jets in supermassive black-holes, are unstable to a series of magnetohydrodynamical instabilities, such as the Kelvin-Helmholtz, current-driven, or possibly the p…
Isobaric vapour–liquid equilibria for the binary systems 4-methyl-2-pentanone+1-butanol and+2-butanol at 20 and 101.3kPa
2009
Abstract Isobaric vapour–liquid equilibrium (VLE) measurements for the binary systems 4-methyl-2-pentanone + 1-butanol and 4-methyl-2-pentanone + 2-butanol are reported at 20 and 101.3 kPa. The system 4-methyl-2-pentanone + 1-butanol presents a minimum boiling point azeotrope at both pressures (20 and 101.3 kPa) and the system 4-methyl-2-pentanone + 2-butanol presents only a minimum boiling azeotrope at 20 kPa. In both systems, which deviate positively from ideal behaviour, the azeotropic composition is strongly dependent on pressure. The activity coefficients and boiling points of the solutions were correlated with its composition by the Wilson, UNIQUAC, and NRTL models for which the param…
Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria of the Water + 1-Propanol System at 30, 60, and 100 kPa
1996
Isobaric vapor−liquid equilibria for the water + 1-propanol system are reported at 30, 60, and 100 kPa. The results were found to be thermodynamically consistent according to Van Ness−Byer−Gibbs, Kojima, and Wisniak methods. The system shows a minimum boiling azeotrope, and the azeotropic composition is scarcely shifted with pressure. Results were compared with literature values. The data were correlated with Margules, Van Laar, Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC liquid-phase activity coefficient models.
Activity coefficients and Donnan coion exclusion in charged membranes with weak-acid fixed charge groups
1998
Abstract We have studied theoretically the effects that the dissociation equilibrium of weak-acid fixed charge groups (e.g. carboxyl groups) exerts on the mean activity coefficients in charged membranes using a Donnan formalism. The model calculations indicate that unless carbon dioxide is excluded from the external aqueous solution, the pH of the membrane solution can be low enough to affect significantly the effective fixed charge concentration and the coion exclusion when the membrane fixed charge concentration is high compared with the external solution salt concentration. Although this problem was already pointed out in previous studies, the possibility that the pH and salt concentrati…
Modelling of the ternary system H3PO4/H2O/TBP
2002
Abstract A thermodynamic model is presented for the extraction of phosphoric acid from water by tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP), from aqueous solutions containing 0–6 mol/kg phosphoric acid. The activity coefficient of phosphoric acid was calculated from experimental data using Pitzer’s equation, and those of the components in the organic phase were calculated by Sergievskii–Danus’s relationship. The proposed model gives a satisfactory description of the distribution of phosphoric acid and water, in the considered concentration range, by taking into account the formation of the following species: TBP, TBP·H2O, H3PO4·TBP and (TBP)2·H3PO4·H2O.
Co-adsorption of 1,2-dichloroethane and 1-bromo,2-chloroethane on zeolite ZSM-5 from the liquid and vapour phases, using the Myers-Prausnitz-Dubinin …
2002
Abstract The adsorption/co-adsorption of 1,2-dichloroethane (DCA) and 1-bromo,2-chloroethane (BCA) from the vapour and the liquid phases by zeolite ZSM-5 at ambient temperature is reported, using Dubinin's theory and the recent Myers-Prausnitz-Dubinin (MPD) theory. For adsorption from the liquid phase, the activity coefficients in the adsorbed and the liquid states are the same and no selectivity is observed. This is confirmed by the absence of an excess enthalpy of immersion of ZSM-5 into the mixtures. Adsorption from the vapour phase proceeds in two stages, as indicated by double Dubinin-Astakhov (DA) plots. If one considers only the domain of high relative pressure, co-adsorption is desc…
Calculation of the chemical potential and the activity coefficient of two layers of CO2 adsorbed on a graphite surface.
2014
We study the adsorption of carbon dioxide at a graphite surface using the new Small System Method, and find that for the temperature range between 300 K and 550 K most relevant for CO2 separation; adsorption takes place in two distinct thermodynamic layers defined according to Gibbs. We calculate the chemical potential and the activity coefficient of both layers directly from the simulations. Based on thermodynamic relations, the entropy and enthalpy of the CO2 adsorbed layers are also obtained. Their values indicate that there is a trade-off between entropy and enthalpy when a molecule chooses for one of the two layers. The first layer is a densely packed monolayer of relatively constant e…
