Mimblewimble is a privacy-oriented cryptocurrency technology which provides security and scalability properties that distinguish it from other protocols of its kind. In previous work we have proposed an idealized model that captures the main features of the Mimblewimble protocol with a model-driven verification approach. In this work, we present an extension of our model to enable zero-knowledge proofs in order to prove that the transaction amount is in a certain range without revealing the value. Furthermore, we provide some security properties a range proof scheme should satisfy.

Renewable variable generation incorporation to the national electric system like wind and solar brought the requirement for more flexibility in the grid. Storage technologies can contribute to it, being pumped storage the most used globally for this purpose. While traditional pumped storage trend to be more feasible at larger scales (above 250 MW), Uruguayan power system appears to need only between 10 and 30 MW to balance variable generation. Small turbines could be used for this purpose but their high price makes it many times prohibitive. Using a pump in reverse rotation, acting as a turbine generating electricity, could be a more economical alternative in order to filter generation peaks and demand fluctuations. Remarkably, any kind of pump “off the shelve” can be used as a turbine. Performance remains almost same as in pump mode, and it can be improved with small modifications such as blade tip rounding, or replacing intake for a specially deigned square section diffuser.

In Uruguay, Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support training of medical students is not carried out using high-fidelity simulators. We suggest developing high-fidelity simulators, with manikins and special purpose software with performance similar to the most complete simulators on the market, or even higher. The simulation environment has the ability to adapt to national academic requirements, to improvements, all at moderate development and maintenance costs. As a feasibility study, we describe the simulator components along with a block diagram, indicating functions designed to simulate with high fidelity the main clinical conditions of Cardio-Respiratory Arrest. The suggested design includes reception of sensor signals, control of effectors, data processing, video and audio outputs, wireless transmission, control software and analysis of simulations.

This work presents and validates an intra-day operational solar forecast for the southern cone of South America based on GOES16 satellite images. The forecast is evaluated over 12 photovoltaic (PV) generation sites in the northwest of Uruguay. The irradiance predictions are obtained from the combination of different satellite cloudiness forecasts and a standard satellite-to-irradiance conversion model, both specifically adapted to the region. The core of the system is a Cloud Motion Vector (CMV) satellite technique, considered in different spatial resolutions. The optimal linear combination of a single-pixel and space-averaged CMV forecast with the space-averaged persistence is proposed and analyzed. The performance assessment of the individual sub-forecasts and their combination is presented for each time horizon between 10 minutes and 4 hours, with a 10 minutes time step.

In this work, we followed a new methodology to construct an indicator that reflects an assessment of the total cost of charging a light-duty electric vehicle (EV) in Uruguay. We differentiate between private cars, taxis, and digital platforms. With the Levelized Cost of Charging (LCOC), we captured the variations related to charging sites, types of equipment, cost, and time of charging. We investigated the LCOC for residential and work/public charging sites and an average LCOC for chargeable EV, which represents the current charging patterns. We also performed a sensitivity analysis for a deeper understanding of the factors that drive the LCOC and how much the cost of charging an EV affects in Uruguay. Furthermore, this indicator was used to calculate the lifetime fuel cost of charging, which measures the total fuel saving of an EV compared with an Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle (ICEV) under similar conditions. In order to make these comparisons, we made several assumptions regarding the future oil prices, charging behaviors, types of equipment costs, and vehicle use (VMT). Finally, we compared the LCOC found for Uruguay with the LCOC for the United States.

This work presents a novel methodology for measuring gamma radiation doses, based on an OBIST (Oscillation-Based Built In Self-Testing) scheme. The studied circuit has a configuration of a Colpitts oscillator designed with three nMOS transistors. The gamma radiation incidence on the transistors produces a shift in the threshold voltage, which changes the oscillation frequency and makes it possible to measure the value of the radiation dose.

Reacting adequately to cybersecurity attacks requires observing the attackers' knowledge, skills, and behaviors to examine their influence over the system and understand the characteristics associated with these attacks. Profiling an attacker allows generating security countermeasures that can be adopted even from the design of the systems. For automated attackers, e.g., malware, it is possible to identify structured behavior, i.e., a process-like behavior consisting of several (partial) ordered activities. Process Mining (PM) is a discipline from the organizational context that focuses on analyzing the event logs associated with executing the system's processes to discover many aspects of process behavior. Few proposals are applying PM to attacker profiling. In this work, we explore the use of PM techniques to identify the behavior of cyber attackers. In particular, we illustrate, using an application example, how they can be adapted to an environment dominated by automated attackers. We discuss preliminary results and provide guidelines for future work.

Human activity recognition aims to infer a person's actions from a set of observations captured by several sensors. Data acquisition, processing and inference on edge devices add a complexity factor to the task, as they involve a trade-off between hardware efficiency and performance. We present a prototype of a wearable device that identifies a person's activity: walking, running or staying still. The system consists of a Texas Instruments MSP-EXP430G2ET launchpad, connected to a BOOSTXL-SENSORS boosterpack with a BMI160 accelerometer. The designed prototype can take acceleration measurements, process them and either transmit them to a computer or classify the activity in the microcontroller. Additionally, our system has LEDs to display coloured signals according to the inferred activity in real-time. The classification algorithm is based on the calculation of statistical features (mean, standard deviation, maximum and minimum) for each accelerometer axis, the application of a dimensionality reduction algorithm (LDA, Linear Discriminant Analysis) and an SVM (Support Vector Machines) classification model.

This paper presents a constructive heuristic algorithm in a multi-start structure applied to planning the expansion of medium voltage overhead distribution lines to supply electricity to current and future customers. This algorithm, through its multi-start feature, establishes a set of viable radial topologies, considering the lowest construction costs, lowest electrical losses, and lowest voltage profiles of a system. For this process, the algorithm considers normalized weights and random numbers aiming at a larger search field for a solution. The problem is represented by a nonlinear mathematical model and the solution is constructively obtained in an iterative way. At each iteration, a sensitivity indicator is used to decide which circuit to build. Computational tests were performed to evaluate the algorithm's performance. The results obtained in the simulations showed that the algorithm finds a set of viable and good-quality solutions.
