Byzantine agreement, the underlying core of blockchain, aims to make every node in a decentralized network reach consensus. Classical Byzantine agreements unavoidably face two major problems. One is 1/3 fault-tolerance bound, which means that the system to tolerate
f
malicious players requires at least 3
f
+ 1 players. The other is the security loopholes from its classical cryptography methods. Here, we propose a Byzantine agreement framework with unconditional security to break this bound with nearly 1/2 fault tolerance due to multiparty correlation provided by quantum digital signatures. It is intriguing that quantum entanglement is not necessary to break the 1/3 fault-tolerance bound, and we show that weaker correlation, such as asymmetric relationship of quantum digital signature, can also work. Our work strictly obeys two Byzantine conditions and can be extended to any number of players without requirements for multiparticle entanglement. We experimentally demonstrate three-party and five-party consensus for a digital ledger. Our work indicates the quantum advantage in terms of consensus problems and suggests an important avenue for quantum blockchain and quantum consensus networks.

The background of this thesis is that it starts from the rapid growth of information technology-based lending service providers, apparently not balanced with adequate education to the public, causing various effects / risks that arise from the many kinds of online loans and there are still many unregistered or illegal organizing companies found as well as the potential for leaking user personal data that can be misused by the organizing company or another party One of the platforms is the Smart Credit App.

The problems that the author raises in this study are How to Arrange Online Loans on the Smart Credit Application, How are the Losses arising from online borrowing of the Smart Credit Application and How is the Responsibility of the Smart Credit Application for Losses from Customers.
The research method used by the author in answering problems is Normative Juridical Research where the author tries to examine problems with existing legal rules and uses the literature study method in collecting existing legal materials.
The conclusion of this thesis research is that Online Loans through the Smart “Credit Application in the people of Semarang City are regulated in Article 1320 of the Civil Code which in essence stipulates thatagreements made online must still meet the legal requirements of an agreement. The implementation is regulated in POJK regulation 77/2016 concerning Technology-based Loan Services. Customer protection in online loan agreements can be found in the Consumer Protection Law in article 7 which regulates the Obligations of Business Actors, then Article 8 which regulates things that are prohibited from being done by Business Actors, and Article 18 which regulates the provisions of matters related to the Standard Clause. ITE Law, where in Article 11 and Article 17 of the ITE Law regulates matters related to the validity of electronic agreements, OJK Regulation Number 77 / POJK / 2016 concerning Services of a Loan in the form of Money Based on Information Technology which is regulated through article 18 concerning the Form and Structure of online loan agreements. The disadvantage that often arises from the Smart Credit Application is the dissemination of personal data carried out by the Smart Credit Application because the Debtor does not make payments on time, so the debt Collector uses techniques to use the dissemination of personal data to pressure the Debtor to immediately make payments, Juridical Responsibility The Kredit Pintar application for actions committed for defamation can be held civil liability through a Tort Lawsuit as stipulated in article” 1365 of the Civil Code filed by Customers who feel aggrieved because their identity is used in the misuse of personal data.

Abstract
Planar GaAs(100) depletion-mode (D-mode) MOSFETs as passivated with in situ deposited Al2O3/Y2O3 dielectric have shown enhancement of the drain current by 167% and 333% as the gate voltage (V
g) increased from flat-band voltage (V
fb), namely V
g = V
fb = 0.5 V to V
g = 2 V and V
g = 4 V, respectively, much higher than those in the previously published GaAs-based D-mode MOSFETs. In addition, we have achieved a high I
on/I
off of 107 and a subthreshold slope (SS) of 63 mV dec−1, which approaches the thermal limit of 60 mV dec−1 at 300 K and is the record-low value among planar (In)GaAs MOSFETs. Moreover, using the measured SS data, we have deduced an interfacial trap density (D
it) of 4.1 × 1011 eV−1 cm−2 from our Al2O3/Y2O3/GaAs MOSFET, the lowest value among the planar (In)GaAs MOSFETs.

Wireless optical communication through different media using superoscillation function as amplitude modulation
Authors: Handelman Amir , Zindan Ashraf , Ben-Ezra Yosef 
Published: November 2023

<p>As wireless optical communication becomes a key technology in many applications such as internet-of-underwater-things (IoWT) and inter-satellite communication, investigation of different modulation schemes has become essential. In this paper, we address the issue of whether it is possible to wirelessly transmit a modulated light signal at a frequency beyond the signal's band-limit. We show that by using a superoscillation function as the amplitude modulating signal, it is possible to wirelessly transmit the optical signal through various media such as free-space, underwater and even turbulent underwater, and still preserve the superoscillatory nature of the signal with the property that it contains a component that oscillates faster than the signal’s highest Fourier component. We also present cases where the received optical signal is distorted and quantify distortion </p>
Therapeutic Role of Synthetic Lethality in ARID1A-Deficient Malignancies
Authors: Hein Kyaw Z. , Stephen Bettzy , Fu Siqing 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT
AT-rich interaction domain 1A (ARID1A), a mammalian switch/sucrose nonfermenting complex subunit, modulates several cellular processes by regulating chromatin accessibility. It is encoded by ARID1A, an immunosuppressive gene frequently disrupted in a many tumors, affecting the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cancer cells. Targeting molecular pathways and epigenetic regulation associated with ARID1A loss, such as inhibiting the PI3K/AKT pathway or modulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling, may help suppress tumor growth and progression. Developing epigenetic drugs like histone deacetylase or DNA methyltransferase inhibitors could restore normal chromatin structure and function in cells with ARID1A loss. As ARID1A deficiency correlates with enhanced tumor mutability, microsatellite instability, high tumor mutation burden, increased programmed death-ligand 1 expression, and T-lymphocyte infiltration, ARID1A-deficient cells can be a potential therapeutic target for immune checkpoint inhibitors that warrants further exploration. In this review, we discuss the role of ARID1A in carcinogenesis, its crosstalk with other signaling pathways, and strategies to make ARID1A-deficient cells a potential therapeutic target for patients with cancer.

рассматривается усовершенствованная конструкция делителя мощности Уилкинсона для уменьшения его размеров. Данное устройство рассчитано для работы на двух рабочих диапазонах частот с центральными частотами 2,4 ГГц и 5,8 ГГц, соответственно. Моделирование выполнялось на основе использования программного продукта CST Studio Suite 2023. Делитель мощности разработан и смоделирован на подложке Rogers RT5880, которая имеет диэлектрическую проницаемость , тангенс угла потерь и толщину мм. Разработанное устройство имеет один вход и два выхода. Полученные результаты моделирования показывают, что делитель мощности обеспечивает равное разделение мощности на обоих выходах конструкции. На основании произведенного имитационного моделирования было получено, что устройство имеет коэффициент стоячей волны по напряжению (КСВН) на двух центральных частотах 1,56 и 1,27, соответственно. Графики возвратных потерь показали, что разработанный делитель мощности Уилкинсона имеет два рабочих диапазона частот 1,1-3,2 ГГц и 4,8-6,5 ГГц по уровню -10 дБ. Данные частотные диапазоны указывают на широкополосность устройства. Смоделированные графики потерь мощности свидетельствуют об ослаблении 0,2 дБ на частоте 2,4 ГГц и 0,6 дБ для частоты 5,8 ГГц. Произведенный расчет токов при заданной мощности показал, что спроектированные микрополосковые линии выдержат нагрузку в 1 кВт
the article discusses an improved design of the Wilkinson power divider to reduce its size. This device is designed to operate on two operating frequency ranges with central frequencies of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, respectively. The simulation was performed based on the use of the CST Studio Suite 2023 software product. The power divider is designed and modeled on a Rogers RT5880 substrate, which has a dielectric constant of , a tangent of the loss angle of and a thickness of . The developed device has one input and two outputs. The obtained simulation results show that the power divider provides equal power separation at both outputs of the structure. Based on the simulation simulation, it was obtained that the device has a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) at two central frequencies of 1.56 and 1.27, respectively. Return loss graphs showed that the developed Wilkinson power divider has two operating frequency ranges of 1.1-3.2 GHz and 4.8-6.5 GHz at a level of -10 dB. These frequency ranges indicate the broadband of the device. The simulated power loss graphs indicate a attenuation of 0.2 dB at 2.4 GHz and 0.6 dB at 5.8 GHz. The calculation of currents at a given power showed that the designed microstrip lines will withstand a load of 1 kW

The noise immunity of demodulation of signals with amplitude relative-phase manipulation (ARFM) is considered, a comparative analysis of signal-to-noise losses in comparison with APSK for various constellation variations is given. Statistical simulation of the demodulation algorithm under the influence of noise interference is carried out. The influence of errors in the estimation of threshold levels of the received signals on the noise immunity is investigated. The implementation of the demodulator is focused on programmable logic integrated circuits (FPGAs)

The Control of Lava Rheology on the Formation of Lunar Sinuous Rilles by Substrate Thermal Erosion: Topographic and Morphometric Relationships with Eruption Rates, Erosion Rates, Event Durations, and Erupted Magma Volumes
Authors: Wilson Lionel , Head James W. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We describe a model of the fluid mechanics and thermodynamics of turbulent lava flows capable of thermally eroding sinuous rille channels on bodies without atmospheres. The model assumes Bingham plastic rheology for the lava and shows how the effects of radiant cooling and consequent crystallization change the rheology and control the point at which turbulence ceases. A correlation is found between magma volume eruption rate and the length and width of the eroded rille channel. Thus, simple measurements of rille length and width in images can provide reliable estimates of magma eruption rates. The model also predicts rille floor erosion rates, so that if rille depths are measured, eruption durations and erupted magma volumes can also be found. The model is applied in detail to six well-preserved lunar rilles and more generally to a published catalog of 214 lunar rilles. We find that rille-forming eruptions have magma volume eruption rates of a few times 104 m3 s−1, durations of up to 3 months, and erupted magma volumes up to ∼200 km3, consistent with theoretical predictions of basaltic magma ascent and eruption from deep mantle sources. The key requirement for rille formation, rather than mare lava flow deposit formation, is the turbulent eruption of a sufficiently large volume of low-viscosity magma at a sufficiently low eruption rate.

Given their sensitivity to environmental alterations, odonates act as reliable bioindicators to assess the effects of changes in freshwater ecosystems and associated terrestrial habitats. The region comprised between Lario and Brianza (Provinces of Como, Lecco and Monza and Brianza - Lombardy, N Italy) is one of the most urbanised of the Italian peninsula and large parts of its territory have been heavily altered, especially at low elevation. Despite this pervasive anthropogenisation, the area is still characterised by a considerable variety of freshwater habitats, possibly harbouring rich odonate communities, which, however, have been never thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to produce the first commented checklist of the Odonata of this region, accompanied by distribution maps.
The work is based on 12,093 records spanning from 1981 and 2022, derived from literature (289), revision of collections (42), citizen-science projects (1249) and unpublished data from the authors and their collaborators (10,513). Overall, fifty-five species occur - or occurred in the past - in the study area (20 Zygoptera and 35 Anisoptera). One species, Erythromma najas, was confirmed exclusively before 1978, while seven species (Lestes barbarus, Coenagrion scitulum, Aeshna affinis, Anax ephippiger, Somatochlora arctica, Sympetrum meridionale and Trithemis annulata) have been recorded only after 2000. Records referring to Chalcolestes parvidens and Sympetrum flaveolum were considered questionable and excluded from the checklist. A list of species for each protected site is additionally provided. This work highlighted the importance for odonates of Lario and Brianza Regions from a national perspective, in particular for species of conservation priority/interest, such as Sympecma paedisca, Oxygastra curtisii and Sympetrum depressiusculum.
