Dealing with Insecurity in Problem Oriented Learning Approaches - The Importance of Problem Formulation
Creators: name: Jensen, Annie Aarup
name: Lund, Birthe
Publisher: name: Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education
Year: 2016

description: In order to learn and develop creative and innovative competences, students’ may act, experiment, reflect and solve problems (Dewey, 1916).) Creativity is an important component of problem solving (Ruco, 2014). Being sensitive to problems and problem finding characterize creativity (Csikszentmihalyi, 1996). It is consequently expected that problem oriented group work enhances students’ innovative competences (Illeris, 1974) per se. We question this assumption and present the results of an experiment where students were given a tool designed to support chaotic and unstable processes grounded in management theories. Data from three cohorts of students were analysed based on Engeströms Activity Theory (Engeström 1997, 2009; Engeström & Sannino, 2010) allowing us to uncover aspects of contradictions and potentials of expansive learning. Based on the findings the article discusses to what extent and how the introduction of the new concept and tool influences division of labor and collaboration aiming at developing students’ innovation skills.

description: Motivation: In the analysis of differential peptide peak intensities (i.e. abundance measures), LC-MS analyses with poor quality peptide abundance data can bias downstream statistical analyses and hence the biological interpretation for an otherwise high-quality dataset. Although considerable effort has been placed on assuring the quality of the peptide identification with respect to spectral processing, to date quality assessment of the subsequent peptide abundance data matrix has been limited to a subjective visual inspection of run-by-run correlation or individual peptide components. Identifying statistical outliers is a critical step in the processing of proteomics data as many of the downstream statistical analyses [e.g. analysis of variance (ANOVA)] rely upon accurate estimates of sample variance, and their results are influenced by extreme values.Results: We describe a novel multivariate statistical strategy for the identification of LC-MS runs with extreme peptide abundance distributions. Comparison with current method (run-by-run correlation) demonstrates a significantly better rate of identification of outlier runs by the multivariate strategy. Simulation studies also suggest that this strategy significantly outperforms correlation alone in the identification of statistically extreme liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) runs.Availability: https://www.biopilot.org/docs/Software/RMD.phpContact: bj@pnl.govSupplementary information: Supplementary material is available at Bioinformatics online.

description: Thrombozyten und die auf ihrer Membran lokalisierten Glykoproteine (GP) sind essentiell für die Hämostase. Verschiedene Ereignisse können die Bildung von Ak gegen diese GP auslösen. Ein Nachweisverfahren ist der Monoclonal Antibody Immobilization of Platelet Antigens (MAIPA)-Assay, in dem im Sinne einer Immunpräzipitation die Immobilisierung der Zielstruktur mit dem Prinzip des ELISA kombiniert ist. Der Assay ist jedoch technisch und zeitlich aufwendig und ist auf die Verfügbarkeit von Testthrombozyten angewiesen, sodass die Testbedingungen im Rahmen dieser Arbeit optimiert werden sollten.

description: Motivation: Identifying the location of binding sites on proteins is of fundamental importance for a wide range of applications, including molecular docking, de novo drug design, structure identification and comparison of functional sites. Here we present Erebus, a web server that searches the entire Protein Data Bank for a given substructure defined by a set of atoms of interest, such as the binding scaffolds for small molecules. The identified substructure contains atoms having the same names, belonging to same amino acids and separated by the same distances (within a given tolerance) as the atoms of the query structure. The accuracy of a match is measured by the root-mean-square deviation or by the normal weight with a given variance. Tests show that our approach can reliably locate rigid binding scaffolds of drugs and metal ions.

description: We provide a sufficient geometric condition for $\mathbb{R}^n$ to be countably $(μ,m)$ rectifiable of class $\mathscr{C}^{1,α}$ (using the terminology of Federer), where $μ$ is a Radon measure having positive lower density and finite upper density $μ$ almost everywhere. Our condition involves integrals of certain many-point interaction functions (discrete curvatures) which measure flatness of simplices spanned by the parameters.

description: H5BW12O40 (BWA), Keggin-type heteropoly acid was employed as an effective, eco-friendly and reusable Lewis acid catalyst for the high yielding synthesis of chromenopyrimidine-2,5-diones and thioxochromenopyrimidin-5-ones via multicomponent reaction (MCR) of differently substituted benzaldehydes, urea/thiourea, and 4-hydroxycoumarin in refluxing water. The BWA catalyst could be recovered by a simple filtration and applied in three successive runs with no noticeable decrease in the yield. Interestingly, this catalyst structure pattern may act as useful model for the design and assembly of the functional molecule-based catalysts, especially in the field of molecular sieve materials. Moreover, thermochemical properties in the synthesis of title compounds were assessed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
China's People-to-people Diplomacy and Its Importance to China-EU Relations: A Historical Institutionalism Perspective
Creators: name: Wang, Shichen
Publisher: name: Journal of China and International Relations
Year: 2016

description: People-to-people exchange has become a heated topic of the Chinese foreign policy. Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, China has established people-to-people dialogues with the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, France and Russia. In 2012, China and the EU established a high-level dialogue for people-to-people exchange, making people-to-people exchange the third pillar of China-EU relations. However, China is not a newcomer to people-to-people exchanges with Europe. Why does China launch the people-to-people diplomacy? Is it a plus or a must for China as well as for China-EU relations? The author reviews the history and current situation of China's people-to-people exchange and investigates China’s motivations behind the policy. Using the historical institutionalism as an approach, this paper argues that people-to-people diplomacy is a key component of the contemporary Chinese foreign policy towards Europe. China has long been an unequal counterpart to Europe since the 1840s. After the development of bilateral political and economic cooperation in the past four decades, people-to-people diplomacy is the last part that China needs to finish in order to regain equal status with Europe. In addition, it is also a step towards realising the "great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation".

Matrix eQTL: ultra fast eQTL analysis via large matrix operations
Creators: name: Shabalin, Andrey A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Motivation: Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis links variations in gene expression levels to genotypes. For modern datasets, eQTL analysis is a computationally intensive task as it involves testing for association of billions of transcript-SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) pair. The heavy computational burden makes eQTL analysis less popular and sometimes forces analysts to restrict their attention to just a small subset of transcript-SNP pairs. As more transcripts and SNPs get interrogated over a growing number of samples, the demand for faster tools for eQTL analysis grows stronger.

description: Power electronics (PE) modules in inverter units are a critical part of the Hybrid/Electric vehicles drivetrain. During passive temperature cycling, the solder joint between the PE module and the baseplate develops cracks. A detailed reliability investigation was carried out on multiple physical variants under three temperature cycling profiles to uncover major influence parameters. A stress triaxiality and inelastic strain based FEM damage parameter was formulated which showed excellent correlation with experimental results.
Great Power Management and China's Responsibility in International Climate Politics
Creators: name: Kopra, Sanna
Publisher: name: Journal of China and International Relations
Year: 2016

description: By exploring international practice of great power management, this paper examines how the U.S. (an established power) and China (an emerging power) discursively frame great power responsibility in the context of international negotiations on climate politics. Firstly, this paper will argue that the American discourse on "responsible great powerhood" attempts to redirect and constrain China’s position in global politics. Secondly, this paper claims that China defends its interests and responds to Western demands by advancing two, partly conflicting, climate discourses simultaneously. On the one hand, despite its growing international status, China emphasizes its status as a poor developing country. On the other, the rhetoric of being a "responsible major power" is used to assure other nations of China's credibility and benevolence; China is neither a threat to other countries nor to the environment.

Resource Curse and China's Infrastructure for Resources Model: Case Study of Angola
Creators: name: Durovic, Luka
Publisher: name: Journal of China and International Relations
Year: 2016

description: Resource-rich Sub-Saharan countries have found themselves trapped in the so-called resource curse. The importance of the aforementioned countries both as sources of natural resources and as consumer markets has been recognized by major world powers. It is rational to assume that the world power that manages to assist Sub-Saharan countries in dealing with the aforementioned curse will be given a preferential treatment in their future economic interaction. Thus finding an instrument that can deal with the resource curse has become of large importance. One of the major powers that has been present in Africa for a long time is China; which has recognized this opportunity and thus enhanced its engagement in the Sub-Saharan region, primarily through the Infrastructure for Resources model. This model enables developing countries to expand their infrastructure by relying on their resource wealth. Thus, it partially subdues the resource curse, which is empirically verified though a case study on its implementation in Angola. It is important to note that there is no consensus among scholars regarding the nature of China's involvement in Africa. However, this research avoids ideological debates, and focuses solely on the efficiency of the model in dealing with the resource curse.

description: We report a study of disorder effects on epitaxial graphene in the vicinity of the Dirac point by magneto-transport. Hall effect measurements show that the carrier density increases quadratically with temperature, in good agreement with theoretical predictions which take into account intrinsic thermal excitation combined with electron-hole puddles induced by charged impurities. We deduce disorder strengths in the range 10.2 $\sim$ 31.2 meV, depending on the sample treatment. We investigate the scattering mechanisms and estimate the impurity density to be $3.0 \sim 9.1 \times 10^{10}$ cm$^{-2}$ for our samples. An asymmetry in the electron/hole scattering is observed and is consistent with theoretical calculations for graphene on SiC substrates. We also show that the minimum conductivity increases with increasing disorder potential, in good agreement with quantum-mechanical numerical calculations.

description: Many datasets can be viewed as a noisy sampling of an underlying space, and tools from topological data analysis can characterize this structure for the purpose of knowledge discovery. One such tool is persistent homology, which provides a multiscale description of the homological features within a dataset. A useful representation of this homological information is a persistence diagram (PD). Efforts have been made to map PDs into spaces with additional structure valuable to machine learning tasks. We convert a PD to a finite-dimensional vector representation which we call a persistence image (PI), and prove the stability of this transformation with respect to small perturbations in the inputs. The discriminatory power of PIs is compared against existing methods, showing significant performance gains. We explore the use of PIs with vector-based machine learning tools, such as linear sparse support vector machines, which identify features containing discriminating topological information. Finally, high accuracy inference of parameter values from the dynamic output of a discrete dynamical system (the linked twist map) and a partial differential equation (the anisotropic Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation) provide a novel application of the discriminatory power of PIs.

description: In this work, the concept of optical identification (OI) based on physical unclonable functions is introduced for the first time, to our knowledge, in optical communication systems and networks. The OI assigns an optical fingerprint and the corresponding digital representation to each sub-system of the network and estimates its reliability in different measures. We highlight the large potential applications of OI as a physical layer approach for security, identification, authentication, and monitoring purposes. To identify most of the sub-systems of a network, we propose to use the Rayleigh backscattering pattern, which is an optical physical unclonable function and allows to achieve OI with a simple procedure and without additional devices. The applications of OI to fiber and path identification in a network and to the authentication of users in a quantum key distribution system are described.

description: Summary: R/DWD is an extensible package for classification. It is built based on a recently developed powerful classification method called distance weighted discrimination (DWD). DWD is related to, and has been shown to be superior to, the support vector machine in situations that are fundamental to bioinformatics, such as very high dimensional data. DWD has proven to be very useful for several fundamental bioinformatics tasks, including classification, data visualization and removal of biases, such as batch effects. Earlier DWD implementations, however, relied on Matlab, which is not free and requires a license. The major contribution of the R/DWD package is an implementation that is completely in R and thus can be used without any requirements for licensing or software purchase. In addition, R/DWD also provides efficient solvers for second-order-cone-programming and quadratic programming.
The Expansion of China's Global Hegemonic Strategy: Implications for Latin America
Creators: name: Li, Xing
Publisher: name: Journal of China and International Relations
Year: 2016

description: The paper aims to provide a historical context for understanding the transition of China's development strategies from the "keeping a low profile" approach (Chinese: Tao Guang Yang Hui) during the past three decades to the current "striving for achievement" approach (Chinese: You Suo Zuo Wei) in recent years. The former lays a foundation for China's peaceful environment and economic success, while the latter represents a shift toward a more proactive foreign policy. The paper examines the two strategies from historical, regional and global perspectives and analyses the motivation behind China's current strategic repositioning. The author proposes an analytical lens of combining both Neo-Gramscian IR theory and the world system theory in order to comprehend the nexus between the accumulation and consolidation of China’s internal hegemony and its inevitable outward expansion. What are the implications of China's outward expansion of its global strategy? The author argues that Beijing's capital and hegemonic outward expansion represents a world system’s new round of capital and production relocation, which will dialectically enlarge or reduce "room for maneuver" and increase or decrease "upward mobility" for developing regions including Latin America. The paper concludes that it is in the political and economic interest of Latin America to seize the chance of this external "promotion by invitation" and to increase its upward mobility by finding the strategic convergence with China's global strategy.

description: We present updated predictions for lifetimes of doubly charmed baryons, within the heavy quark expansion, including available NLO $α_s$ contributions and newly-computed terms in the $1/m_c$ series. Our improved results confirm the expected hierarchy $$τ(Ξ_{cc}^{+}) < τ(Ω_{cc}^{+}) < τ(Ξ_{cc}^{++}) \,, $$ while the predicted lifetime $τ(Ξ_{cc}^{++}) = 0.32 \pm 0.5 ^{+0.8}_{-0.7} \,\textrm{ps} $ is consistent with the recent LHCb determination. We provide predictions for the lifetime ratios of the $Ξ_{cc}^{+}$ and $Ω_{cc}^+$ baryons relative to the $Ξ_{cc}^{++}$ baryon, namely $τ(Ξ_{cc}^{+})/τ(Ξ_{cc}^{++})=0.22\pm 0.05\pm 0.04$ and $τ(Ω_{cc}^{+})/τ(Ξ_{cc}^{++})=0.52\pm 0.13^{+0.03}_{-0.02}$.

Power Transition: The U.S. vs. China in Latin America
Creators: name: Hsiang, Antonio C.
Publisher: name: Journal of China and International Relations
Year: 2016

description: Based on Power Transition Theory, the paper investigates how China competes with the US in Latin America. The paper divided into four main sections. The first section reviews why the U.S. has tried hard to prevent Latin America and the Caribbean from developing relations with China. It also explains why Secretary of State John Kerry announced "The era of the Monroe Doctrine is over" in November 2013. The second part discusses China's expansion in Latin America. The more states that trade with China, the more likely they are to converge with it on issues of foreign policy. Consequently, the US, whose foreign policy preferences have diverged from those of China, may find it harder to attract allies in Latin America. The third part explores how Latin America has become more assertive. It also examines how such acquiescence increases the responsibility of those states to think carefully about what kind of relationship with China is in their interest, and that of the region. The last section concludes the article and provides policy implications for the US, China, and Latin America.

description: The demands of modern electronic components require advanced computing platforms for efficient information processing to realize in-memory operations with a high density of data storage capabilities towards developing alternatives to von Neumann architectures. Herein, we demonstrate the multifunctionality of monolayer MoS2 mem-transistors which can be used as a high-geared intrinsic transistor at room temperature; however, at a high temperature (>350 K), they exhibit synaptic multi-level memory operations. The temperature-dependent memory mechanism is governed by interfacial physics, which solely depends on the gate field modulated ion dynamics and charge transfer at the MoS2/dielectric interface. We have proposed a non-volatile memory application using a single FET device where thermal energy can be ventured to aid the memory functions with multi-level (3-bit) storage capabilities. Furthermore, our devices exhibit linear and symmetry in conductance weight updates when subjected to electrical potentiation and depression. This feature has enabled us to attain a high classification accuracy while training and testing the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology datasets through artificial neural network simulation. This work paves the way for new avenues in 2D semiconductors toward reliable data processing and storage with high-packing density arrays for brain-inspired artificial learning.

description: Summary: zCall is a variant caller specifically designed for calling rare single-nucleotide polymorphisms from array-based technology. This caller is implemented as a post-processing step after a default calling algorithm has been applied. The algorithm uses the intensity profile of the common allele homozygote cluster to define the location of the other two genotype clusters. We demonstrate improved detection of rare alleles when applying zCall to samples that have both Illumina Infinium HumanExome BeadChip and exome sequencing data available.

description: Motivation: Genotype imputation has become an indispensible step in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Imputation accuracy, directly influencing downstream analysis, has shown to be improved using re-sequencing-based reference panels; however, this comes at the cost of high computational burden due to the huge number of potentially imputable markers (tens of millions) discovered through sequencing a large number of individuals. Therefore, there is an increasing need for access to imputation quality information without actually conducting imputation. To facilitate this process, we have established a publicly available SNP and indel imputability database, aiming to provide direct access to imputation accuracy information for markers identified by the 1000 Genomes Project across four major populations and covering multiple GWAS genotyping platforms.

description: As a new ingredient for analyzing the fine structure of entanglement, we study the symmetry resolution of the modular flow of $U(1)$-invariant operators in theories endowed with a global $U(1)$ symmetry. We provide a consistent definition of symmetry-resolved modular flow that is defined for a local algebra of operators associated to a sector with fixed charge. We also discuss the symmetry-resolved modular correlation functions and show that they satisfy the KMS condition in each symmetry sector. Our analysis relies on the factorization of the Hilbert space associated to spatial subsystems. We provide a toolkit for computing the symmetry-resolved modular correlation function of the charge density operator in free fermionic theories. As an application, we compute this correlation function for a $1+1$-dimensional free massless Dirac field theory and find that it is independent of the charge sector at leading order in the ultraviolet cutoff expansion. This feature can be regarded as a charge equipartition of the modular correlation function. Although obtained for free fermions, these results may be of potential interest for bulk reconstruction in AdS/CFT.

description: China is now Brazil's largest trade and investment partner, with Brazil's exports dominated by primary products such as iron ore, soy and crude oil. China and Brazil have also become major players in international environmental debates as emerging powers, reflecting their contribution to carbon emissions and their vulnerability to climate change and environmental disasters such as droughts, floods, deforestation, landslides and pollution. In environmental terms, Brazil's exports to China have led to changes in land use focused on export agriculture, the construction of infrastructure in vulnerable areas such as the Amazon region and a growing need for cheap, renewable energy to fuel transport, consumption and industrial development. In the context of these intensifying trade and economic connections between Brazil and China, this article examines the environmental dimensions of this relationship, focusing in particular on the contradictions created by renewable energy production. Paradoxically, given Brazil's key role in the international climate change debate, one of the most controversial aspects of the country's development agenda is the promotion of renewable energy as evidenced in the conflicts around hydro-electric power generation. The latter have provoked protests against the dams' social and environmental effects among local communities and international environmental groups. Little studied compared to the more well-known aspects of Sino-Latin American relations, such as infrastructure and trade, the article argues that Chinese involvement in hydropower in Brazil reinforces an increasingly unsustainable domestic development agenda, as reflected in the asymmetry between arguments about the general benefits of hydropower and the negative effects on local communities.

description: Recently, Cu nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulated into various materials as supports (e.g., zeolite, silica) have attracted much devotion due to their unique catalytic properties such as high catalytic activity, intensive reactivity and selectivity through highly protective properties. Nowadays, the superior catalytic activity of Cu-NPs, encapsulated onto zeolite, silica and different porous systems, is extensively investigated and now well-established. As a matter of fact, Cu-NPs are protected from deactivation by this kind of encapsulation. Thus, their exclusion proceeds smoothly, and their recyclability is significantly increased. Cu-NPs have been used as potential heterogeneous catalysts in different chemical transformations. In this review, we try to show the preparation and applications of Cu(0) encapsulated nanocatalysts in zeolite and silica as superior catalytic systems in Cu-catalyzed organic transformations. In addition, the catalytic activity of these encapsulated Cu-NPs in different important organic transformations (such as hydrogenation, oxidation and carbon–carbon bond formations) are compared with those of a variety of organic, inorganic and hybrid porous bearing a traded metal ion. Moreover, the results from the TGA/DTA analysis and optical properties of Cu-complexes are demonstrated. The inherited characteristic merits of the encapsulated Cu-NPs onto zeolite and silica, such as their low leaching, catalytic activity, reusability economic feasibility and originality are critically considered.

description: Standard quantum state reconstruction techniques indicate that a detection efficiency of $0.5$ is an absolute threshold below which quantum interferences cannot be measured. However, alternative statistical techniques suggest that this threshold can be overcome at the price of increasing the statistics used for the reconstruction. In the following we present numerical experiments proving that quantum interferences can be measured even with a detection efficiency smaller than $0.5$. At the same time we provide a guideline for handling the tomographic reconstruction of quantum states based on homodyne data collected by low efficiency detectors.

突破困境：“一带一路”视域下的 亚太安全结构改良 / Seeking A Breakthrough: The Improvement of The Asia-Pacific Security Structure From the Perspective of “One Belt One Road” Initiative

description: 长期以来，亚太安全结构受美国亚太同盟体系影响巨大。在各国相互依赖日益加深的背景下，现时的亚太安全结构愈发难以适应地区国际关系的发展，存在着安全理念落后、安全机制破碎、安全公共产品缺乏等困境，亟待改良。“一带一路”作为新型多边合作倡议的代表，与亚太安全存在内生性联系，互动深刻。“一带一路”倡议的安全改良作用主要体现以下方面：以理念先导引领基于多边合作的新型安全模式；以机制创新助力建设规范有效的新型安全制度框架；以共建共商共享充实亚太地区安全公共产品的提供。同时，寻求改良还将面临来自内外多方面的现实挑战，需要审慎分析、有区别地看待处理，以期更好实现带路建设与改良安全结构的共同进化，推动亚太地区的繁荣稳定。 The U.S alliance in the Asia-Pacific region has exerted significant influence on Asia-Pacific security architecture for a long time. While with the deepening of interdependence among Asia-Pacific countries, the development of regional international relations has outdated the existing security architecture in this region. It is imperative to improve the architecture in that there are plenty of structural hurdles, such as the obsolescence of security concepts, the fragmentation of security mechanism and the dearth of public goods on security affairs. OBOR, which is exemplary as a new multilateral cooperative initiative and has interacted profoundly with the regional security of the Asia-Pacific, holds endogenous relations with the Asia-Pacific security architecture. OBOR could improve the Asia-Pacific security architecture in the following ways: to create a new model of security maintenance in light of the advanced ideas given by OBOR; to design new institutional frameworks which are more normative and effective with mechanical innovations stemming from OBOR; to enrich the security public goods in the Asia-Pacific region under the reference of co-construction and sharing the idea of OBOR. However, the practice of improvement will face tremendous challenges both internally and externally. These challenges should be prudently analyzed and treated in order to better fulfill the co-evolution in the process of the construction of OBOR and the improvement of the Asia-Pacific security architecture, for the promotion of long-termed prosperity and stability in this region.

description: Advanced diagnosis of ischemia and transient cardiac arrhythmias requires Holter ECG data collected during exercise (stress testing) and normal daily activity (Holter recording) are possible nowdays. This paper presents a PCbased application for automated analysis of ECG recordings. It implements a fast algorithm for QRS detection and classification of QRS complexes considering each userselected channel. Apply a signal averaging technique to obtain a noise-free and stable P-QRS-T pattern at preset time intervals during exercise. A good graphical representation facilitates iterative visual identification of such changes

description: We study quantum correlations in a bipartite heteronuclear $(N-1)\times1$ system in an external magnetic field. The system consists of a spin ring with an arbitrary number $N-1$ of spins on the ring and one spin in its center. The spins on the ring are connected by secular dipole-dipole interactions and interact with the central spin through the Heisenberg $zz$-interaction. We show that the quantum discord, describing quantum correlations between the ring and the central spin, can be obtained analytically for this model in the high temperature approximation. The model allows us to find contributions of different parts of the spin-spin interactions to quantum correlations. We also investigate the evolution of quantum and classical correlations at different numbers of spins.

description: Photoresponse of Au nanoparticle functionalized semiconducting GaN (Au-GaN) nanowires is reported for an optical switching using 532 excitation. Wide band gap GaN nanowires are grown by catalyst assisted chemical vapour deposition technique and functionalized with Au in the chemical route. Au-GaN nanowires show surface plasmon resonance (SPR) mode of Au nanoclusters around 550 nm along with characteristic band for GaN around 365 nm. An optical switching is observed for Au-GaN nanowires with a sub-band gap excitation of 532 nm suggesting possible role of surface plasmon polariton assisted transport of electron in the system. Role of band conduction is ruled out in the absence of optical switching using 325 nm excitation which is higher in energy that the reported band gap of GaN about 3.4 eV (365 nm) at room temperature. A finite amount of interband contribution of Au plays an important role along with the inter-particle separation. The switching device is also successfully tested for a single GaN nanowire functionalized with Au nanoclusters. A resistivity value of 0.05 Ohm-cm is measured for surface plasmon polariton assisted electrical transport of carrier in the single GaN nanowire.
