An I/O Separation Model and its Applications to On-Demand I/O on Commodity Platforms

description: A key goal of security architectures is to separate I/O transfers of security-sensitive applications from untrusted commodity OSes and other applications, with high assurance. These architectures provide I/O kernels that assure the confidentiality and authenticity of the transmitted I/O data owned by a security sensitive application, even when commodity OSes and other applications are compromised. These kernels help eliminate security-sensitive application exposure to drivers they do not need. This is a major security advantage because drivers contribute over half of code size in commodity OS kernels.
However, existing I/O kernels can only enforce I/O separation on limited hardware configurations of
commodity platforms, if they rely on existing I/O hardware mediation components such as IOMMU, or ignore I/O operations that could be misused to break I/O separation. Commodity I/O hardware designs focus primarily on increasing performance and device connectivity, but often fail to separate I/O transfers of isolated OS and applications code. Even when using the best I/O hardware, commodity
systems sometimes trade off isolation assurance for increased performance. Remarkably, to breach I/O
separation, device firmware need not be malicious, though it is allowed to be so. Instead, any malicious driver can manipulate its device to breach I/O separation. To prevent such vulnerabilities in kernel designs with high assurance, a formal I/O separation model is necessary. This dissertation defines an I/O separation model for general commodity platforms and proves its soundness. The model defines a precise separation policy based on complete mediation of I/O transfers despite frequent lack of commodity hardware to support it. Thus it can be applied to the I/O designs
of all commodity platforms, compared to previous kernels that work on limited hardware configurations. Furthermore, this dissertation applies the model to the latest I/O kernels that offer on-demand I/O separation. These kernels allow security-sensitive applications to relinquish and release their devices to and from untrusted commodity OSes on-demand. The dissertation shows how to apply the I/O separation
model to one carefully but informally designed on-demand I/O kernel, the Wimpy Kernel, and illustrates how the model enables the discovery of formerly unknown vulnerabilities. The dissertation also shows how to remove these vulnerabilities and obtain a model-based I/O design – an unavailable feature of commodity systems. In addition, the dissertation presents a novel GPU Separation Kernel to allow isolated applications to share display with untrusted OS and other applications, and informally analyzes it against the same vulnerabilities.

description: We study a dynamic game of climate policy design in terms of emissions and solar radiation management (SRM) involving two heterogeneous regions or countries. Countries emit greenhouse gasses (GHGs), and can block incoming radiation by unilateral SRM activities, thus reducing global temperature. Heterogeneity is modelled in terms of the social cost of SRM, the environmental damages due to global warming, the productivity of emissions in terms of generating private benefits, the rate of impatience, and the private cost of geoengineering. We determine the impact of asymmetry on mitigation and SRM activities, concentration of GHGs, and global temperature, and we examine whether a trade-off actually emerges between mitigation and SRM. Our results could provide some insights into a currently emerging debate regarding mitigation and SRM methods to control climate change, especially since asymmetries seem to play an important role in affecting incentives for cooperation or unilateral actions.

description: A compact and efficient numerical method is described for studying plane flows of an ideal fluid with a smooth free boundary over a curved and nonuniformly moving bottom. Exact equations of motion in terms of the so-called conformal variables are used. In addition to the previously known applications for shear flows with constant (including zero) vorticity, here a generalization is made to the case of potential flows in uniformly rotating coordinate systems, where centrifugal and Coriolis forces are added to the gravity force. A brief review is given of previous results obtained by this method in a number of physically interesting problems such as modeling of tsunami waves caused by the movement of nonuniform bottom, the dynamics of Bragg (gap) solitons over a spatially periodic bottom profile, the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) recurrence phenomenon for waves in a finite pool, the formation of anomalous waves in an opposing nonuniform current, and the propagation of a solitary wave in a shear current and its runup on a depth difference. In addition, a number of new numerical results are presented concerning the nonlinear dynamics of a free boundary in closed rotating containers partially filled with a fluid -- centrifuges of complex shape. In this case, the equations of motion differ in some essential details from those of $x$-periodic systems.

Beyond Accuracy: A Multi-faceted Evaluation Framework for Real-World AI Agents
Creators: name: Praveen Kumar Myakala
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: AI agents are increasingly deployed in real-world applications, from autonomous systems to conversational assistants. Existing evaluation benchmarks predominantly emphasize task-specific metrics such as accuracy, reward maximization, or F1 scores. However, these metrics often overlook critical dimensions like cost-effectiveness, robustness to dynamic environments, and long-term adaptability. This paper critically analyzes the limitations of current evaluation approaches and proposes a comprehensive multi-faceted framework that integrates these dimensions. We outline key evaluation criteria, present case studies, and suggest a dynamic benchmarking protocol to bridge the gap between controlled experimental setups and real-world deployment requirements. Our framework is designed to enhance the reliability, fairness, and sustainability of AI systems in diverse applications.

Switching Quantum Reference Frames for Quantum Measurement

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Physical observation is made relative to a reference frame which is essentially a quantum system. Thus, a quantum system must be described relative to a quantum reference frame (QRF). Further requirements on QRF include using only relational observables and not assuming the existence of external reference frame. To address these requirements, two approaches are proposed in the literature. The first one is an operational approach (F. Giacomini, et al, Nat. Comm. 10:494, 2019) which focuses on the quantization of transformation between QRFs. The second approach attempts to derive the quantum transformation between QRFs from first principles (A. Vanrietvelde, et al, \textit{Quantum} 4:225, 2020). Such first principle approach describes physical systems as symmetry induced constrained Hamiltonian systems. The Dirac quantization of such systems before removing redundancy is interpreted as perspective-neutral description. Then, a systematic redundancy reduction procedure is introduced to derive description from perspective of a QRF. The first principle approach recovers some of the results from the operational approach, but not yet include an important part of a quantum theory - the measurement theory. This paper is intended to bridge the gap. We show that the von Neumann quantum measurement theory can be embedded into the perspective-neutral framework. This allows us to successfully recover the results found in the operational approach, with the advantage that the transformation operator can be derived from the first principle. In addition, the formulation presented here reveals several interesting conceptual insights. For instance, the projection operation in measurement needs to be performed after redundancy reduction. These results represent one step forward in understanding how quantum measurement should be formulated when the reference frame is also a quantum system.

description: This paper reports a detailed evaluation results of a colonoscope tracking method. A colonoscope tracking method utilizing electromagnetic sensors and a CT volume has been proposed. Tracking accuracy of this method was evaluated by using a colon phantom. In the previously proposed paper, tracking errors were measured only at six points on the colon phantom for the accuracy evaluation. The point number is not enough to evaluate relationships between the tracking errors and positions in the colon. In this paper, we evaluated the colonoscope tracking method based on more detailed measurement results of the tracking errors. We measured tracking errors at 52 points on the colon phantom and visualized magnitudes of the tracking errors. From our experiments, tracking errors in the ascending and descending colons were enough small to perform colonoscope navigations. However, tracking errors in the transverse and descending colons were large due to colon deformations.

description: In this paper, recent theoretical advances of modeling are amplified and applied to a sample linear programming problem to demonstrate its usefulness for policy analysis. Policymakers and planners in agriculture are looking for analyses that will aid them in appraising what future levels of production may be expected at alternative price levels. This requires knowledge of what changes result from different supply-demand balances due to possible input scarcities, changes in productivity under alternative technologies and changes in consumer's preferences. The objectives of this paper are to (1) restate the theoretical underpinning that are useful for this analysis by specifying the complete model; (2) to demonstrate how the model can be solved using linear programming techniques; and, (3) demonstrate how the model can be used in policy analysis.

description: During its mission in the Saturn system, Cassini performed five close flybys of Dione. During three of them, radio tracking data were collected during the closest approach, allowing estimation of the full degree-2 gravity field by precise spacecraft orbit determination. The gravity field of Dione is dominated by $J_{2}$ and $C_{22}$, for which our best estimates are $J_{2} \times 10^6 = 1496 \pm 11$ and $C_{22} \times 10^6 = 364.8 \pm 1.8$ (unnormalized coefficients, 1-$σ$ uncertainty). Their ratio is $J_{2}/C_{22} = 4.102 \pm 0.044$, showing a significative departure (about 17-$σ$) from the theoretical value of $10/3$, predicted for a relaxed body in slow, synchronous rotation around a planet. Therefore, it is not possible to retrieve the moment of inertia directly from the measured gravitational field. The interior structure of Dione is investigated by a combined analysis of its gravity and topography, which exhibits an even larger deviation from hydrostatic equilibrium, suggesting some degree of compensation. The gravity of Dione is far from the expectation for an undifferentiated hydrostatic body, so we built a series of three-layer models, and considered both Airy and Pratt compensation mechanisms. The interpretation is non-unique, but Dione's excess topography may suggest some degree of Airy-type isostasy, meaning that the outer ice shell is underlain by a higher density, lower viscosity layer, such as a subsurface liquid water ocean. The data permit a broad range of possibilities, but the best fitting models tend towards large shell thicknesses and small ocean thicknesses.

description: In this thesis, I present the results of my research on the X-ray spectra of accreting black holes. The content of this thesis can be broadly separated into two parts: Chapter 2-3 for stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries (XRBs) and Chapter 4-6 for supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN). This work mainly focuses on the X-ray spectral shape and the spectral variability of these accreting black hole systems. By studying the broad band spectra of XRBs and AGN, we are able to extract some information about the innermost regions of the discs from their X-ray observations. For example, we are able to 1) constrain the size of the coronal region that illuminates the disc; 2) estimate some properties of the discs, such as the density in the disc surface; 3) measure the spin parameters of the accreting black holes. In the meantime, I also study the variability of the innermost regions by comparing different observations or different flux states of individual sources. For example, Chapter 2-3 compare different accretion states of black hole XRBs. Chapter 4 discusses the extreme and fast flux variability on a timescale less than one kilo-second in the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy IRAS 13224−3809. Chapter 5 studies the long-term spectral variability of the Seyfert 1 galaxy 1H0419−577. The main spirit of this thesis is to test for high density discs. A disc reflection model with a variable disc density parameter is used for each source in this work. In the last chapter, I apply the same model to a large sample of Seyfert 1 galaxies in order to compare the disc densities at different black hole mass scales and different accretion rates.

description: This dissertation considers how American Protestant missionaries made use of historical narratives and ideas about history to justify and contextualize U.S. evangelistic and imperial projects in the Pacific Ocean in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. History has generally been understood as a tool used by U.S. imperialists to bring coherence and meaning to their imperial designs, and missionaries have been widely recognized as key agents in disseminating information about other parts of the world for Americans. This thesis, however, pays greater attention to the local contingencies and contests which shaped the ‘knowledge’ which missionaries produced. In both Hawai‘i and the Philippines, Protestant mission accompanied the 1898 arrival of formal U.S. empire, though in very different ways. In Hawai‘i, missionaries’ 1820 entrance prefigured annexation, giving rise to a hegemonic white settler society with missionaries and their descendants at its core. On the other hand, there were no Protestants in the Philippines until after American annexation due to prohibition by Spanish Catholic rulers, and as such missionaries rode the coattails of U.S. power. Accordingly, missionaries’ historiographical choices reflected not a cohesive American imperial epistemology, but rather their differing relationships with religious ideals, U.S. hegemony, and indigenous knowledge in each setting. Their narratives indexed varying missionary needs, the contingency of U.S. imperial power, and the impact of local traditions of historical narration. Through analysis of the historical knowledge missionaries generated, the dissertation argues that conceptions of an American empire in the Pacific did not move seamlessly from the United States outwards, but involved negotiations by a range of actors at a local level, including missionaries, who were more invested in their local situation than in totalizing ideas of U.S. empire. As such, it moves beyond the scholarly tendency to emphasize the scope of U.S. power, and turns attention instead to its kaleidoscopic nature.

description: The prospect of using semiconductor quantum dots as an experimental tool to distinguish Majorana zero modes (MZMs) from other zero-energy excitations such as Kondo resonances has brought up the fundamental question of whether topological superconductivity and the Kondo effect can coexist in these systems. Here, we study the Kondo effect in a quantum dot coupled to a metallic contact and to a pair of MZMs. We consider a situation in which the MBS are spin polarized in opposite directions. By using numerical renormalization-group calculations and scaling analysis of the renormalization group equations, we show that the Kondo effect takes place at low temperatures, regardless the coupling to the MZMs. Interestingly, we find that the Kondo singlet essentially decouples from the MZMs such that the residual impurity entropy can show local non-Fermi liquid properties characteristic of the single Majorana excitations. This offers the possibility of tuning between Fermi-liquid and non-Fermi-liquid regimes simply by changing the quantum dot-MZM couplings.

Adaptive Basis Construction and Improved Error Estimation for Parametric Nonlinear Dynamical Systems

description: An adaptive scheme to generate reduced-order models for parametric nonlinear dynamical systems is proposed. It aims to automatize the POD-Greedy algorithm combined with empirical interpolation. At each iteration, it is able to adaptively determine the number of the reduced basis vectors and the number of the interpolation basis vectors for basis construction. The proposed technique is able to derive a suitable match between the reduced basis and the interpolation basis vectors, making the generation of a stable, compact and reliable reduced-order model possible. This is achieved by adaptively adding new basis vectors or removing unnecessary ones, at each iteration of the greedy algorithm. An efficient output error indicator plays a key role in the adaptive scheme. We also propose an improved output error indicator based on previous work. Upon convergence of the POD-Greedy algorithm, the new error indicator is shown to be sharper than the existing ones, implicating that a more reliable reduced-order model can be constructed. The proposed method is tested on several nonlinear dynamical systems, namely, the viscous Burgers' equation and two other models from chemical engineering.

Rational Conformal Field Theories With G_2 Holonomy

description: We study conformal field theories for strings propagating on compact, seven-dimensional manifolds with G_2 holonomy. In particular, we describe the construction of rational examples of such models. We argue that analogues of Gepner models are to be constructed based not on N=1 minimal models, but on Z_2 orbifolds of N=2 models. In Z_2 orbifolds of Gepner models times a circle, it turns out that unless all levels are even, there are no new Ramond ground states from twisted sectors. In examples such as the quintic Calabi-Yau, this reflects the fact that the classical geometric orbifold singularity can not be resolved without violating G_2 holonomy. We also comment on supersymmetric boundary states in such theories, which correspond to D-branes wrapping supersymmetric cycles in the geometry.

description: We analyse the money-financed fiscal stimulus implemented in Venice during the famine and plague of 1629--31, which was equivalent to a 'net-worth helicopter money' strategy -- a monetary expansion generating losses to the issuer. We argue that the strategy aimed at reconciling the need to subsidize inhabitants suffering from containment policies with the desire to prevent an increase in long-term government debt, but it generated much monetary instability and had to be quickly reversed. This episode highlights the redistributive implications of the design of macroeconomic policies and the role of political economy factors in determining such designs.

description: Comparison of Trhypochthonius tectorum populations
 The biometrical data numbers of genital setae, notogastral setal lengths (%) and notogaster lengths (µm) were measured from each specimen of six Trhypochthonius tectorum populations (3: n=5), (6: n=4), (7: n=5), (8: n=5), (9: n=5) and (10: n=3), as listed in the section “Material examined”.
 The number of genital setae pairs varies within the populations and obviously also among the populations of T. tectorum (Fig. 10b). The total observed range of setae pairs is 7–11; the median value in populations (9) and (10) is nine, in (3) is ten, in (6), (7) and (8) is eleven.
 There were no significant differences of notogaster lengths among the tested six populations (Fig. 10a). Only in three of fifteen notogastral setae sets were significant differences found: regarding setae d 2, population (3) is significantly different from all others which are otherwise not different from each other. The significant differences regarding d 1 and p 1 are indicated in figures 11c and 11d: the relative lengths of seta d 1 are partly different between populations and show moderate variability within populations. Population (10) is represented only by three specimens that probably are not fully representative. As two examples, figures 11a and 11b show the non-significant variability between the populations for setae c 2 and c 3; the means are partly different, but the ranges overlap.
 Remarks. The observed but limited biometrical differences among populations of Trhypochthonius tectorum are not surprising, considering that the species is strictly parthenogenetic; populations consist of clone lines without genetic interchange, which would balance variability within populations as occurs in bisexual species. Similar differences between populations are observed in other biometrically analysed parthenogenetic species, e.g. in Tectocepheus and Trhypochthoniellus species (Weigmann 1999, 2002).

Glass Transition in a Two-Dimensional Electron System in Silicon

description: Large fluctuations of conductivity with time are observed in a low-mobility two-dimensional electron system in silicon at low electron densities $n_s$ and temperatures. A dramatic increase of the noise power ($\propto 1/f^α$) as $n_s$ is reduced below a certain density $n_g$, and a sharp jump of $α$ at $n_s\approx n_g$, are attributed to the freezing of the electron glass at $n_s = n_g$. The data strongly suggest that glassy dynamics persists in the metallic phase.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We show how the renormalons emerge from the renormalization group equation with a priori no reference to any Feynman diagrams. The proof is rather given by recasting the renormalization group equation as a resurgent equation studied in the mathematical literature, which describes a function with an infinite number of singularities in the positive axis of the Borel plane. Consistency requires a one-to-one correspondence between the existence of such kind of equation and the actual (generalized) Borel resummation of the renormalons through a one-parameter transseries. Our finding suggests how non-perturbative contributions can affect the running couplings. We also discuss these concepts within the context of gauge theories, making use of the large number of flavor expansion.

description: The importance of the livestock sector to the economy of Uruguay can hardly be overstated. Livestock related exports averaged 83.7 percent of the country's total exports in the period 1967-1973 (Munoz Duran). In recent years, however, the country has faced a problem of a relatively slow rate of adoption of production increasing technologies on the part of livestock producers. This has resulted in low levels of livestock productivity, a low rate of growth in the economy and a deteriorating balance of payment position (Vazquez).
