Monsieur,

Le grand froid survenu depuis l’arrivée de la boîte des livres m’a fait différer jusqu’ici de l’ouvrir. J’y trouve une lettre que j’envoie à M. Calvet et deux brochures élégantes sur les triangles que je lirai en attendant que vous m’appreniez quelle est leur destination.
Votre lettre contient beaucoup de choses assez curieuses. Je vous rends au centuple les vœux que vous faites pour moi dans cette nouvelle année. Ceux que je fais pour vous ne sont pas moins ardents.
Plus j’examine de près le problème des longitudes par le lien de la lune et plus il me paraît difficile. Tout le monde convient qu’une minute d’erreur dans le lien de la lune peut occasionner dix lieues d’erreur dans la longitude marine, d’où l’on conclut précipitamment que la même erreur dans les observations donnerait la longitude à dix lieues près, sans s’apercevoir que la même erreur dans les observations peut produire dans le lien de la lune une erreur de plusieurs minutes. J’ai trouvé dans un exemplaire de M. Maskelyne que l’erreur d’une minute en produirait 9 à 10 dans le lien de la lune  ; c’est-à-dire que sa méthode donnerait la longitude qu’à 100 lieues près et le Parlement d’Angleterre veut l’avoir à 20 lieues près. Je suis avec bien du respect, Monsieur,

 Votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur

 Pézenas, Jés.

description: The use of quantum scissors, as candidates for non-deterministic amplifiers, in continuous-variable quantum key distribution systems is investigated. Such devices rely on single-photon sources for their operation and as such, they do not necessarily preserve the Guassianity of the channel. Using exact analytical modeling for system components, we bound the secret key generation rate for the system that uses quantum scissors. We find that for non-zero values of excess noise such a system can reach longer distances than the system with no amplification. The prospect of using quantum scissors in continuous-variable quantum repeaters is therefore emboldened.

Quantum cloning and the capacity of the Pauli channel

description: A family of quantum cloning machines is introduced that produce two approximate copies from a single quantum bit, while the overall input-to-output operation for each copy is a Pauli channel. A no-cloning inequality is derived, describing the balance between the quality of the two copies. This also provides an upper bound on the quantum capacity of the Pauli channel with probabilities $p_x$, $p_y$ and $p_z$. The capacity is shown to be vanishing if $(\sqrt{p_x},\sqrt{p_y},\sqrt{p_z})$ lies outside an ellipsoid whose pole coincides with the depolarizing channel that underlies the universal cloning machine.

description: Motivated by the forthcoming data from the E950 experiment at BNL for small angle polarized proton-carbon scattering we revisit the problem of Coulomb phase. The approximation usually used with the momentum transfer squared (q^2) small compared to the inverse elastic slope is not justified within the kinematics of the E950 experiment. We go beyond this approximation and derive a new rather simple expression which recovers the formula of Bethe at small q^2, but is valid at any momentum transfer.

The results are comparable to the recent experimental observations and quark model predictions, and are consistent with the heavy quark spin symmetry. However, somewhat large dependence of the results on the heavy quark mass strongly calls for the incorporation of the soliton-recoil effects.

From Sovereign Immunity to Constitutional Immunity in Nigeria Reappraising the Gains and Pitfalls.pdf

subject: Other law and legal studies not elsewhere classified

description: Recently, Prince Harry (Prince Henry Charles Albert David) the Duke of Sussex, testified in a London court that his life has been blighted by intrusion from Britain’s tabloid press, marking the first time in more than 130 years that a member of the royal family has given evidence at trial. The prince, who has consistently refused to settle long standing hacking claims where others have, appeared at the High Court in a highly anticipated civil lawsuit against MGN Ltd., the publishers of the newspapers the Daily Mirror, the Sunday Mirror and The Sunday People. This calls for an inquisition on the controversies surrounding the Immunity privileges enjoyed by Royals which Nigeria had adopted in its Section 308 of the 1999 Constitution. Despite its antiquated feudal origins, the doctrine of immunity has continued to find relevance even in the most modern republican states. There has however been a striking change in the content of justifications often advanced for it. At the beginning, it was simply assumed that the king of England could do no wrong. Thus, an action against His majesty was out of the question; more so where the venue for adjudication was the king’s court and the presiding judge was the king himself or one of the courtiers. In addition to this quaint rationalization, the king had the full status of a sovereign, approximating the state all by himself. The perceived impossibility of subjecting a sovereign state to legal action found expression in the phrase “sovereign immunity”. In Nigeria the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in its section 308 provide for executive immunity on specified public officers viz: The president, Vice President, Governors and Deputy Governors. I submit that the immunity clause is not founded in an expressed lack of confidence in the courts to dispense justice, but in political expediency. The drafters of the 1999 Constitution neither thought the executives infallible nor did they want to offer them a gratuitous escape from the law. This is why the immunity granted the Executive is not absolute as there are limitations. Among other provisions cited, the law provides that the executives can be sued in their nominal capacities, and in a special tribunal for complaints arising from electoral matters. Also, they could be sued after their tenure of offices. Moreover, under the doctrine of the separation of powers, the actions of the president and governors are closely monitored through the oversight functions of the legislative arm of government and equally subject to judicial review.

description: As I’m preparing to direct “Domus”, I find myself starting a publishing enterprise for the third time”, Gio Ponti observes in a letter addressed to Giovanni Astengo, in February 1948. The letter, from Astengo’s archive at the Archivio Progetti of Iuav University, offers some interesting hints for a re-reading of the debate in Italian architectural journals during and shortly after the second world war. After founding “Domus” in 1928, Ponti left it in 1940 and started a new review, “Stile” which he directed for 4 years, while “Domus” was assigned to different directors – Massimo Bontempelli, Giuseppe Pagano, Melchiorre Bega, Ernesto Nathan Rogers – before being reprised by Ponti. The passages from one direction to another implied different critical positions on central issues like the concepts of habitation, of style, of the political role of architecture and architects, which can be observed in the pages of the two magazines. In particular, the sense and goals of an architectural journal, that Gio Ponti expresses in terms of spreading through the vastest public a generally modern taste, while for others, like Rogers, the aim is to establish a tendency. The large number of journals flourishing in Italy soon after the war is a demonstration of both the need for expressing different viewpoints and the identification of periodicals as the only possible places where evolving, fluid ideas can emerge. As a whole, the periodicals appear, in that particular historical moment, as a necessary polyvocality reflecting and multiplying the significance of the themes that architecture, in the broader and more complex sense, poses. As Roberto Calasso puts it in his Come ordinare una biblioteca, the reviews had also this aim, to multiply and complicate meanings.

description: If the ``glue'' which binds quarks within hadrons takes the form of strings, then a virial theorem may be derived which shows how the total hadron four momentum splits up into a quark contribution plus a glue contribution. The hadrons made up of light quarks exhibit an equipartion of four momentum into equal parts quarks and glue. The agreement with the experimental ``parton'' distribution four momentum sum rule is quite satisfactory as is the string fragmentation model.

description: The diffusion of atoms and molecules in ices covering dust grains in dense clouds in interstellar space is an important but poorly characterized step in the formation of complex molecules in space. Here we report the measurement of diffusion of simple molecules in amorphous solid water (ASW), an analog of interstellar ices, which are amorphous and made mostly of water molecules. The new approach that we used relies on measuring in situ the change in band strength and position of mid-infrared features of OH dangling bonds as molecules move through pores and channels of ASW. We obtained the Arrhenius pre-exponents and activation energies for diffusion of CO, O$_2$, N$_2$, CH$_4$, and Ar in ASW. The diffusion energy barrier of H$_2$ and D$_2$ were also measured, but only upper limits were obtained. These values constitute the first comprehensive set of diffusion parameters of simple molecules on the pore surface of ASW, and can be used in simulations of the chemical evolution of ISM environments, thus replacing unsupported estimates. We also present a set of argon temperature programmed desorption experiments to determine the desorption energy distribution of argon on non-porous ASW.

description: Media representations of beauty and hair have long influenced women's perceptions of themselves and others. This impact is especially pronounced for African American (AA) women within a predominantly white culture, where hair texture has often been a source of shame and discomfort. The Eurocentric standard of beauty has led to the internalization of an ideal that rejects natural, tightly coiled black hair as "unacceptable." Despite messages like "Black is beautiful" from the Civil Rights movement, beauty products aimed at straightening coily hair continue to be marketed, further perpetuating the notion that natural hair is unsightly and must be altered for acceptance. This study explores the psychological effects of such beauty products on AA women, shedding light on how these advertisements send a message that their natural hair is not beautiful. While not all AA women straighten their hair to look white, many cite "manageability" as the reason. However, this notion is rooted in cultural oppression. The study also delves into how hair straightening can be a choice driven by versatility, fashion, and style.

description: Using the complementary wave- and particle-like natures of photons, it is possible to make ``interaction-free'' measurements where the presence of an object can be determined with no photons being absorbed. We investigated several ``interaction-free'' imaging systems, i.e. systems that allow optical imaging of photosensitive objects with less than the classically expected amount of light being absorbed or scattered by the object. With the most promising system, we obtained high-resolution (10 μm), one-dimensional profiles of a variety of objects (human hair, glass and metal wires, cloth fibers), by raster scanning each object through the system. We discuss possible applications and the present and future limits for interaction-free imaging.

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF TASK SCHEDULING ALGORITHM FOR FOG COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT
Creators: name: TEMESGEN TESHOME
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019
Subjects: fog computing, task scheduling, task classification, response time

description: Fog computing is a new paradigm extended from cloud computing and provides the service of computation, communication, and storage facilities towards the edge of a network nearest to the end device. It is emerged because of the rapid development of IoT devices from time to time. While IoT devices generate different types of tasks, which are processed in cloud may put pressure on its infrastructure and violate the deadline of the most time sensitive requests. In order to overcome this limitation fog computing concepts are emerged in 2012 by Cisco company. It is not replacement of cloud computing rather extension of it. But one of the obstacles of Fog Computing is assigning tasks with the appropriate resource to minimize response time and improve throughput. In this regard based on the literature findings, we developed a model for fog computing with four layers. Based on these layers" priority-based task scheduling algorithm is developed. This proposed algorithm introduces approach to optimize task scheduling problem in terms of response time. In the algorithm, tasks could be categorized as simple, medium and large or complex. This algorithm assigns simple and medium tasks to the nearest fog layer using their priority and large tasks to aggregate fog layers. The evaluation of the proposed algorithm was performed using simulator. The simulator was selected after systematic review of the existing simulators. In the experiment, the performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated using 10 different task sets with different task length and were assigned different layers of the fog node. To show the performance of the proposed algorithm a comparison was made with FCFS and SJF. Based on literature review SJF is found to be the best scheduling algorithm when compared with others. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance on reducing the response time of tasks when compared to FCFS and SJF

description: Nodal line semimetals are characterized by nontrivial bulk-band crossings, giving rise to almost flat drumhead-like surface states (DSS), which provide an attractive playground where interaction can induce symmetry-broken states and potential emergent phases. Here, we show that electronic interaction causes Stoner ferromagnetic instability in the DSS while the bulk remains non-magnetic, which together with spin-orbit coupling drive the surface states into a 2D Chern insulator. We show that each DSS carries a half-monopole charge, which for systems containing two pieces of DSS yield a net Chern number $\mathcal{C}=-1$. We show that this phenomenology is robust against chiral-symmetry breaking, that gives a finite dispersion to the DSS. Our work shows that nodal line semimetals are a promising platform to implement surface Chern insulators and dissipation-less electron transport by exploiting enhanced interaction effects of the DSS.

description: Lattices of odd-layered two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) such as WSe2 are non-centrosymmetric, and thus could possess linear piezoelectricity that is attractive for applications such as nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and nanogenerators. Measuring the electromechanical coupling of 2D TMDs, however, is rather challenging, since its D3h point group symmetry makes conventional piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) inapplicable. Here we develop a lateral excitation scanning probe microscopy (SPM) technique that enables mapping of the piezoelectric response of atomically thin WSe2 directly on a substrate with high spatial resolution. Planar electrodes are used to excite piezoelectric vibrations while imposing anisotropic in-plane mechanical constraint to the WSe2, resulting in an out-of-plane deformation due to Poisson's effect that can be measured by an SPM probe. Using this technique, we show that WSe2 monolayer and trilayers exhibit strong electromechanical response linear to the applied excitation biases that is distinct from the substrate, while WSe2 bilayer show negligible electromechanical response as expected. The effective piezoelectric coefficient is estimated to be 5.2 pm/V from the measurement, consistent with theoretical predictions. This method can be conveniently applied to a wide range of 2D materials with similar symmetry.

description: One of the most popular models that is known to be able to solve the lepton flavour universality violating charged ($b\to c$) and neutral current ($b\to s$) anomalies is the Leptoquark Model. In this work we examine the {\it multijet} + $\mET$ collider signature of a vector leptoquark ($U_1$) which has the potential to mediate both the charged and neutral current processes at tree level. From our collider analysis we derive the exclusion limits on mass for the $U_1$ leptoquark at 95\% C.L. at the current and future experiment of the Large Hadron Collider. We also calculate the effect of such a leptoquark in $b\to c$ observables.

description: We present a nonlinear stochastic Schroedinger equation for pure states describing non-Markovian diffusion of quantum trajectories. It provides an unravelling of the evolution of a quantum system coupled to a finite or infinite number of harmonic oscillators, without any approximation. Its power is illustrated by several examples, including measurement-like situations, dissipation, and quantum Brownian motion. In some examples, we treat the environment phenomenologically as an infinite reservoir with fluctuations of arbitrary correlation. In other examples the environment consists of a finite number of oscillators. In these quasi-periodic cases we see the reversible decay of a `Schroedinger cat' state. Finally, our description of open systems is compatible with different positions of the `Heisenberg cut' between system and environment.

description: We recently published velocity measurements of luminous globular clusters in the galaxy NGC1052-DF2, concluding that it lies far off the canonical stellar mass - halo mass relation. Here we present a revised velocity for one of the globular clusters, GC-98, and a revised velocity dispersion measurement for the galaxy. We find that the intrinsic dispersion $σ=5.6^{+5.2}_{-3.8}$ km/s using Approximate Bayesian Computation, or $σ=7.8^{+5.2}_{-2.2}$ km/s using the likelihood. The expected dispersion from the stars alone is ~7 km/s. Responding to a request from the Editors of ApJ Letters and RNAAS, we also briefly comment on the recent analysis of our measurements by Martin et al. (2018).

Until now star cluster analysis was based on integral or individual resolved stellar photometry. This limits the amount of information that can be extracted from cluster images. Aims. Develop a CNN-based algorithm aimed to simultaneously derive ages, masses, and sizes of star clusters directly from multi-band images. Demonstrate CNN capabilities on low mass semi-resolved star clusters in a low signal-to-noise ratio regime. Methods. A CNN was constructed based on the deep residual network (ResNet) architecture and trained on simulated images of star clusters with various ages, masses, and sizes. To provide realistic backgrounds, M31 star fields taken from the PHAT survey were added to the mock cluster images. Results. The proposed CNN was verified on mock images of artificial clusters and has demonstrated high precision and no significant bias for clusters of ages $\lesssim$3Gyr and masses between 250 and 4,000 ${\rm M_\odot}$. The pipeline is end-to-end, starting from input images all the way to the inferred parameters; no hand-coded steps have to be performed: estimates of parameters are provided by the neural network in one inferential step from raw images.

description: Graft failure (GF) is an intractable complication of transplantation, which can severely affect the efficacy of the graft; however, the characteristics, incidence, and risk factors of primary GF have not been well described. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors and outcomes of primary GF to swiftly identify high-risk patients for GF. We performed a case-control study with a case-control ratio of 1:4 with 869 patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) between January 2015 and December 2019 at our center. Nineteen (2.19%) patients experienced primary poor graft function (PGF), while eleven (1.27%) patients developed primary graft rejection (GR). Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses identified two independent risk factors for primary PGF: splenomegaly [P = 0.030; odds ratio (OR), 3.486; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.139 to 13.109], and donor type [non-matched sibling donor (non-MSD)] (P = 0.018; OR, 4.475; 95% CI, 1.289 to 15.537). However, only donor type (non-MSD) was statistically significant (P = 0.020; OR, 19.432; 95% CI, 1.595 to 236.691) for primary GR. The overall survival was significantly lower in the primary PGF (P = 0.001) and GR group (P = 0.000), respectively, compared to the control group. GF can significantly affect the overall survival of patients who underwent allo-HSCT, despite its considerably low incidence. A human leukocyte antigen-matched sibling donor should be the first choice for patients undergoing allo-HSCT for the prevention of GF. Moreover, splenomegaly is an independent risk factor for PGF, and caution must be exercised while treating such patients.

description: We performed an analysis on the detection of a long-lived slepton at a linear collider with $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV. In GMSB models a long-lived NLSP is predicted for large value of the supersymmetry breaking scale $\sqrt{F}$. Furthermore in a large portion of the parameter space this particle is a stau. Such heavy charged particles will leave a track in the tracking volume and hit the muonic detector. In order to disentangle this signal from the muon background, we explore kinematics and particle identification tools: time of flight device, dE/dX and Cerenkov devices. We show that a linear collider will be able to detect long-lived staus with masses up to the kinematical limit of the machine. We also present our estimation of the sensitivity to the stau lifetime.

Can Precision Measurements of Slepton Masses Probe Right Handed Neutrinos?

description: In a supersymmetric model, the presence of a right handed neutrino with a large Yukawa coupling $f_ν$ would affect slepton masses via its contribution to the renormalization group evolution between the grand unification and weak scales. Assuming a hierarchichal pattern of neutrino masses, these effects are large for only the third generation of sleptons. We construct mass combinations to isolate the effect of $f_ν$ from mass corrections already expected from tau Yukawa couplings. We then analyze the size of these effects, assuming that the Super-Kamiokande data constrain 0.033 eV $\alt m_{ν_τ} \alt 0.1$ eV and that neutrino masses arise via a see-saw mechanism. We also explore whether these effects might be detectable in experiments at future $e^+e^-$ linear colliders. We find that $m_{\tnu_τ}$ needs to be measured with a precision of about 2-3% to measure the effect of $f_ν$ if the neutrino and top Yukawa couplings unify at the grand unification scale. In a simple case study, we find a precision of only 6-10% might be attainable after several years of operation. If the neutrino Yukawa coupling is larger, or in more complicated models of neutrino masses, a determination of $\ttau_1$ and $\tnu_τ$ masses might provide a signal of a Yukawa interaction of neutrinos.

The Tsallis entropy and the BKT-like phase transition in the impact parameter space for $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ collisions

description: In this paper, one uses the Tsallis entropy in the impact parameter space to study $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ inelastic overlap function and the energy density filling up mechanism responsible by the so-called black disk limit as the energy increases. The Tsallis entropy is non-additive and non-extensive and these features are of fundamental importance since the internal constituents of $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ are strongly correlated and also the existence of the multifractal character of the total cross-section. The entropy approach presented here takes into account a phase transition occurring inside the hadrons as the energy increases. This phase transition in the impact parameter space is quite similar to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition, possessing also a topological feature due to the multifractal dimension of the total cross-sections in $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ scattering.

description: Design and optimization of higher efficiency, lower-emission internal combustion engines are highly dependent on fuel chemistry. Resolving chemistry for complex fuels, like gasoline, is challenging. A solution is to study a fuel surrogate: a blend of a small number of well-characterized hydrocarbons to represent real fuels by emulating their thermophysical and chemical kinetics properties. In the current study, an existing gasoline surrogate formulation algorithm is further enhanced by incorporating novel chemometric models. These models use infrared spectra of hydrocarbon fuels to predict octane numbers, and are valid for a wide array of neat hydrocarbons and mixtures of such. This work leverages 14 hydrocarbon species to form tailored surrogate palettes for the Fuels for Advanced Combustion Engine (FACE) gasolines, including candidate component species not previously considered: n-pentane, 2-methylpentane, 1-pentene, cyclohexane, and o-xylene. We evaluate the performance of "full" and "reduced" surrogates for the 10 fuels for advanced combustion engine (FACE) gasolines, containing between 8-12 and 4-7 components, respectively. These surrogates match the target properties of the real fuels, on average, within 5 %. This close agreement demonstrates that the algorithm can design surrogates matching the wide array of target properties: octane numbers, density, hydrogen-to-carbon ratio, distillation characteristics, and proportions of carbon-carbon bond types. We also compare our surrogates to those available in literature (FACE gasolines A, C, F, G, I and J). Overall, the approach demonstrated here offers a promising method to better design surrogates for gasoline-like fuels with a wide array of properties.

description: Stochastic model predictive control (SMPC) has been a promising solution to complex control problems under uncertain disturbances. However, traditional SMPC approaches either require exact knowledge of probabilistic distributions, or rely on massive scenarios that are generated to represent uncertainties. In this paper, a novel scenario-based SMPC approach is proposed by actively learning a data-driven uncertainty set from available data with machine learning techniques. A systematical procedure is then proposed to further calibrate the uncertainty set, which gives appropriate probabilistic guarantee. The resulting data-driven uncertainty set is more compact than traditional norm-based sets, and can help reducing conservatism of control actions. Meanwhile, the proposed method requires less data samples than traditional scenario-based SMPC approaches, thereby enhancing the practicability of SMPC. Finally the optimal control problem is cast as a single-stage robust optimization problem, which can be solved efficiently by deriving the robust counterpart problem. The feasibility and stability issue is also discussed in detail. The efficacy of the proposed approach is demonstrated through a two-mass-spring system and a building energy control problem under uncertain disturbances.
Towards a Nonequilibrium Quantum Field Theory Approach to Electroweak Baryogenesis

description: We propose a general method to compute $CP$-violating observables from extensions of the standard model in the context of electroweak baryogenesis. It is alternative to the one recently developed by Huet and Nelson and relies on a nonequilibrium quantum field theory approach. The method is valid for all shapes and sizes of the bubble wall expanding in the thermal bath during a first-order electroweak phase transition. The quantum physics of $CP$-violation and its suppression coming from the incoherent nature of thermal processes are also made explicit.
