description: Tunneling between two parallel, two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) in a complex oxide heterostructure containing a large, mobile electron density of ~ 3x10^14 cm^-2 is used to probe the subband structure of the 2DEGs. Temperature-dependent current-voltage measurements are performed on SrTiO3/GdTiO3/SrTiO3 junctions, where GdTiO3 serves as the tunnel barrier, and each interface contains a high-density 2DEG. Resonant tunneling features in the conductance and its derivative occur when subbands on either side of the barrier align in energy as the applied bias is changed, and are used to analyze subband energy spacings in the two 2DEGs. We show that the results agree substantially with recent theoretical predictions for such interfaces.

description: Microfinance has globally dominated the development agenda and debates as a tool for poverty reduction for over two decades. However, the issue of whether or not microfinance is a potent tool for poverty reduction in developing countries in general and Ghana in particular has still not been settled by literature. This study therefore investigates the relationship between microfinance and poverty reduction, microfinance and employment generation, and microfinance and business growth, aiming to develop a framework for understanding microfinance as a tool for poverty reduction in Ghana. Using grounded theory methodology and mixed methods approach, data was collected from 337 clients of microfinance and 10 MFIs through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews respectively. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression and Binary Logistic regression were used to analyse the quantitative data. The study found that although factors like high interest rates, inadequate loan sizes and lack of training hinders the growth of some microenterprises, causes some microenterprises to collapse and actually worsens the poverty situation of some clients, the net effect is that microfinance does generate employment and leads to business growth in Ghana. As its contribution to theory and practice, the study found that whilst microfinance creates employment and enhances business growth, it is not a panacea for poverty reduction in Ghana. This study also contributes to the financing constraint theory by Modigliani and Miller (1958) which postulates a positive relationship between favourable credit terms and business growth. This study is the first to combine microfinance, grounded theory and mixed methods to investigate the relationship between microfinance and poverty reduction, microfinance and business growth, and microfinance and employment generation in Ghana. The study contributes to a better understanding of microfinance as a tool for poverty reduction and offers a framework of relevant recommendations for Ghanaian government and policy-makers.

DISTRIBUTION: From Kaokoveld region in N Namibia south through Namibia to extreme NW Cape Prov. of South Africa south of the Orange River in Goodhouse and Pella areas; also recorded from C and W Cape Prov. and SW Angola by Skinner and Smithers (1990:314). SYNONYMS: bruchus, capensis, kaokoensis, kurzi, namibensis, rufus, variabilis. COMMENTS: Roberts (1951) listed capensis, known only from Goodhouse, as a species, and Meester et al. (1986) treated it as a synonym of barbouri. In describing it as a subspecies of P. collinus, however, Shortridge and Carter (1938) reflected its true affinities because its morphology is unlike P. barbouri, which Shortridge and Carter described in the same paper and knew well. Roberts (1951) also treated bruchus (type locality is Great Brukkaros Mtn in S Namibia) as a separate species, allocating the northern shortridgei to it as a subspecies. The latter is clearly a species separate from P. collinus (see comments under shortridgei), but the status of bruchus will have to be illuminated in a revision of Petromyscus; the few specimens we studied from Great Brukkaros Mtn were examples of P. collinus.

We find there are some new types of localized waves in the coupled system, such as dark-antidark soliton pair, W-shaped soliton, dark W-shaped soliton, and the combined localized waves of them. The results indicate that there are abundant novel localized waves in the two-mode fiber with these high-order effects, which would inspire experimental realization in the related physical systems.

description: Edge computing enables data processing and storage closer to where the data are created. Given the largely distributed compute environment and the significantly dispersed data distribution, there are increasing demands of data sharing and collaborative processing on the edge. Since data shuffling can dominate the overall execution time of collaborative processing jobs, considering the limited power supply and bandwidth resource in edge environments, it is crucial and valuable to reduce the communication overhead across edge devices. Compared with data compression, compact data structures (CDS) seem to be more suitable in this case, for the capability of allowing data to be queried, navigated, and manipulated directly in a compact form. However, the relevant work about applying CDS to edge computing generally focuses on the intuitive benefit from reduced data size, while few discussions about the challenges are given, not to mention empirical investigations into real-world edge use cases. This research highlights the challenges, opportunities, and potential scenarios of CDS implementation in edge computing. Driven by the use case of shuffling-intensive data analytics, we proposed a three-layer architecture for CDS-aided data processing and particularly studied the feasibility and efficiency of the CDS layer. We expect this research to foster conjoint research efforts on CDS-aided edge data analytics and to make wider practical impacts.

description: In terms of water resources, Iran has less fresh water than its population demands. Also, due to climate change, inefficient management and excessive consumption of this vital resource, the water shortage situation is becoming more critical day by day. Searching for a solution for sustainable use of water sources, this study proposes utilizing the Internet of things technology in order to implement smart irrigation in agricultural lands in Iran. Investigating the economic impact of the Internet of Things in Iran’s agriculture sector is the purpose of this article. The most important advantages of using smart irrigation are decreasing water consumption and increasing the productivity of agricultural yields (e.g., fruits, vegetables, etc.). This research attempts to predict Iran's economic growth in the event of smart irrigation implementation in agricultural fields and farms. The effect of investment in smart irrigation on water consumption and agricultural production is estimated by regression with cross-sectional data. In the end, by using the information obtained through the mathematical method, Iran's economic growth through GDP growth is estimated in the case if the Internet of things technology is fully implemented and the full benefits of using this technology are gained.

description: Petromyscus shortridgei Thomas, 1926. Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1926:302. TYPE LOCALITY: Extreme S Angola, Rua Cana Falls, 3350 ft. DISTRIBUTION: W and S Angola and N Namibia (S to Erongo Mtns and Okahandja region); limits unknown; see map in Skinner and Smithers (1990:316). COMMENTS: Roberts (1951) treated shortridgei as a subspecies of P. bruchus, and Meester et al. (1986) listed it as a subspecies of P. collinus. However, Thomas correctly expressed the distinctness of the animal by describing it as a species, which was also Schlitter's evaluation (in Meester et al., 1986), and that of Skinner and Smithers (1990). The larger size of shortridgei, darker fur with a less silky texture, and lack of postaxillary teats clearly separate it from P. collinus , a judgement based upon specimens in the American Museum of Natural History and the Field Museum of Natural History. Our estimate of its geographic range, which overlaps that of P. collinus , is also derived from those series.

description: The impact of surface reflection on the statistics of transmission eigenvalues is a largely unexplored subject of fundamental and practical importance in statistical optics. Here, we develop a first-principles theory and confirm numerically that the distribution of transmission eigenvalues of diffusive waves exhibits a nonanalytic `transition' as the strength of surface reflection at one surface passes through a critical value while that at the other is fixed. Above the critical value, the highest transmission eigenvalue is strictly smaller than unity and decreases with increasing internal reflection. When the input and output surfaces are equally reflective, the highest transmission eigenvalue is unity and the transition disappears irrespective of the strength of surface reflection.

description: We model the transmission of a message on the complete graph with n vertices and limited resources. The vertices of the graph represent servers that may broadcast the message at random. Each server has a random emission capital that decreases at each emission. Quantities of interest are the number of servers that receive the information before the capital of all the informed servers is exhausted and the exhaustion time. We establish limit theorems (law of large numbers, central limit theorem and large deviation principle), as n tends to infinity, for the proportion of visited vertices before exhaustion and for the total duration. The analysis relies on a construction of the transmission procedure as a dynamical selection of successful nodes in a Galton-Watson tree with respect to the success epochs of the coupon collector problem.

description: For the first time, the magnetic force microscopy (MFM) is used to characterize the mechanically-exfoliated single- and few-layer MoS2 and graphene nanosheets. By analysis of the phase and amplitude shifts, the magnetic response of MoS2 and graphene nanosheets exhibits the dependence on their layer number. However, the solution-processed single-layer MoS2 nanosheet shows the reverse magnetic signal to the mechanically-exfoliated one, and the graphene oxide nanosheet has not shown any detectable magnetic signal. Importantly, graphene and MoS2 flakes become nonmagnetic when they exceed a certain thickness.

description: The basic reproductive number, R0, is a well-known quantifier of the rate of spread of an epidemic. Here we show that some methods for estimating this quantity from epidemic incidence data can lead to an over-estimation of this quantity. In particular, when fitting deterministic models to estimate the rate of spread, we do not account for the stochastic nature of epidemics and the fact that, given the same system, some outbreaks may lead to major epidemics and some may not. Necessarily, an observed epidemic that we wish to control is a major outbreak and this amounts to an implicit conditioning for major outbreaks which leads to the issue just described. In this talk, I will present a conditioned deterministic model as a solution to this problem.
Kondo hybridisation and the origin of metallic states at the (001) surface of SmB6

description: SmB6, a well-known Kondo insulator, has been proposed to be an ideal topological insulator with states of topological character located in a clean, bulk electronic gap, namely the Kondo hybridisation gap. Seeing as the Kondo gap arises from many body electronic correlations, this would place SmB6 at the head of a new material class: topological Kondo insulators. Here, for the first time, we show that the k-space characteristics of the Kondo hybridisation process is the key to unravelling the origin of the two types of metallic states observed directly by ARPES in the electronic band structure of SmB6(001). One group of these states is essentially of bulk origin, and cuts the Fermi level due to the position of the chemical potential 20 meV above the lowest lying 5d-4f hybridisation zone. The other metallic state is more enigmatic, being weak in intensity, but represents a good candidate for a topological surface state. However, before this claim can be substantiated by an unequivocal measurement of its massless dispersion relation, our data raises the bar in terms of the ARPES resolution required, as we show there to be a strong renormalisation of the hybridisation gaps by a factor 2-3 compared to theory, following from the knowledge of the true position of the chemical potential and a careful comparison with the predictions from recent LDA+Gutzwiler calculations. All in all, these key pieces of evidence act as triangulation markers, providing a detailed description of the electronic landscape in SmB6, pointing the way for future, ultrahigh resolution ARPES experiments to achieve a direct measurement of the Dirac cones in the first topological Kondo insulator.

COMMENTS: Diagnosis, general characteristics, and natural history provided by Carleton and Musser (1984), who also referenced changes in allocation of subfamily from Myoxidae to Muridae, and explained why platacanthomyines are not dormice. Closest relatives of Platacanthomys and Typhlomys are two species of Neocometes from European Miocene (Carleton and Musser, 1984), and a third species from Lower Miocene in N Thailand (Mein et al., 1990). " Platacanthomys and Typhlomys, although chracterized by many specialized features, appear to be relicts of an assemblage that is recognizable as platacanthomyine as far back as the early Miocene, a group that may have had its origins in some primitive and as yet unknown Eocene or Oligocene [muroid] stock, probably in Asia" (Carleton and Musser, 1984:368).

description: Cette contribution, issue d’une recherche doctorale, discute tout d’abord la question de l’évaluation formative. Devant la difficulté à l’appréhender empiriquement, elle lui préfère, dans un premier temps, la notion d’activité évaluative. Dans une perspective située de l’évaluation (Mottier Lopez, 2008), l’activité évaluative sera alors définie conceptuellement par une unité nommée valuation (Dewey, 2011), articulant une appréciation immédiate et un jugement évaluatif. Défini dans ses composantes en s’inspirant des préoccupations des théories évaluatives (notamment les rapports entre référé, référents, jugements évaluatifs) et du Cours d’action (Theureau, 2004), ce continuum émerge d’instant en instant et constitue un cours ininterrompu. Ce cours de valuations sera mis à contribution pour comprendre l’activité de trois enseignantes auprès de trois élèves en difficulté dans leurs classes lors de séances de production écrite au Cours Préparatoire (CP), en France. Les séances ont été filmées et transcrites intégralement. L’enseignante a été ensuite autoconfrontée à sa propre activité. Ces deux éléments (transcription et autoconfrontation) permettent de construire des données dont l’analyse sera ici illustrée au travers d’un exemple emblématique. En conclusion, une modélisation de l’activité évaluative sera présentée. Cette modélisation est nommée enquête formative en référence à l’enquête de Dewey (1993), où l’enseignant, face à une situation troublée puis problématique, met en œuvre des moyens pour revenir à une situation de production. Cette enquête est in fine prétendue formative puisqu’elle engage la participation de l’élève dans une construction de signification partagée.

description: Hybrid mixed-reality (XR) internet-of-things (IoT) research, here called XRI, aims at a strong integration between physical and virtual objects, environments, and agents wherein IoT-enabled edge devices are deployed for sensing, context understanding, networked communication and control of device actuators. Likewise, as augmented reality systems provide an immersive overlay on the environments, and virtual reality provides fully immersive environments, the merger of these domains leads to immersive smart spaces that are hyper-connected, adaptive and dynamic components that anchor the metaverse to real-world constructs. Enabling the human-in-the-loop to remain engaged and connected across these virtual-physical hybrid environments requires advances in user interaction that are multi-dimensional. This work investigates the potential to transition the user interface to the human body as an extended-reality avatar with hybrid extended-body interfaces that can interact both with the physical and virtual sides of the metaverse. It contributes: i) an overview of metaverses, XRI, and avatarization concepts, ii) a taxonomy landscape for extended XRI body interfaces, iii) an architecture and potential interactions for XRI body designs, iv) a prototype XRI body implementation based on the architecture, v) a design-science evaluation, toward enabling future design research directions.

description: Weakly collisional and collisionless plasmas are typically far from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE), and understanding energy conversion in such systems is a forefront research problem. The standard approach is to investigate changes in internal (thermal) energy and density, but this omits energy conversion that changes any higher order moments of the phase space density. In this study, we calculate from first principles the energy conversion associated with all higher moments of the phase space density for systems not in LTE. Particle-in-cell simulations of collisionless magnetic reconnection reveal that energy conversion associated with higher order moments can be locally significant. The results may be useful in numerous plasma settings, such as reconnection, turbulence, shocks, and wave-particle interactions in heliospheric, planetary, and astrophysical plasmas.

description: An order--disorder phase transition is observed for Ising-like systems even for arbitrarily chosen probabilities of spins flips [K. Malarz et al, Int. J. Mod. Phys. C 22, 719 (2011)]. For such athermal dynamics one must define $(z+1)$ spin flips probabilities $w(n)$, where $z$ is a number of the nearest-neighbours for given regular lattice and $n=0,\cdots,z$ indicates the number of nearest spins with the same value as the considered spin. Recently, such dynamics has been successfully applied for the simulation of a cooperative and competitive strategy selection by pedestrians in crowd [P. Gawroński et al, Acta Phys. Pol. A 123, 522 (2013)]. For the triangular lattice ($z=6$) and flips probabilities dependence on a single control parameter $x$ chosen as $w(0)=1$, $w(1)=3x$, $w(2)=2x$, $w(3)=x$, $w(4)=x/2$, $w(5)=x/4$, $w(6)=x/6$ the ordered phase (where most of pedestrians adopt the same strategy) vanishes for $x>x_C\approx 0.429$. In order to introduce long-range interactions between pedestrians the bonds of triangular lattice are randomly rewired with the probability $p$. The amount of rewired bonds can be interpreted as the probability of communicating by mobile phones. The critical value of control parameter $x_C$ increases monotonically with the number of rewired links $M=pzN/2$ from $x_C(p=0)\approx 0.429$ to $x_C(p=1)\approx 0.81$.

description: The W-boson helicity fractions in top-quark decays are measured with ttbar events in the lepton+jets final state, using proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, collected in 2011 with the CMS detector at the LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 inverse femtobarns. The measured fractions of longitudinal, left-, and right-handed helicity are F0 = 0.682 +/- 0.030 (stat.) +/- 0.033 (syst.), FL = 0.310 +/- 0.022 (stat.) +/- 0.022 (syst.), and FR = 0.008 +/- 0.012 (stat.) +/- 0.014 (syst.), consistent with the standard model predictions. The measured fractions are used to probe the existence of anomalous Wtb couplings. Exclusion limits on the real components of the anomalous couplings gL, gR are also derived.

POMDPs Make Better Hackers: Accounting for Uncertainty in Penetration Testing

description: Penetration Testing is a methodology for assessing network security, by generating and executing possible hacking attacks. Doing so automatically allows for regular and systematic testing. A key question is how to generate the attacks. This is naturally formulated as planning under uncertainty, i.e., under incomplete knowledge about the network configuration. Previous work uses classical planning, and requires costly pre-processes reducing this uncertainty by extensive application of scanning methods. By contrast, we herein model the attack planning problem in terms of partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP). This allows to reason about the knowledge available, and to intelligently employ scanning actions as part of the attack. As one would expect, this accurate solution does not scale. We devise a method that relies on POMDPs to find good attacks on individual machines, which are then composed into an attack on the network as a whole. This decomposition exploits network structure to the extent possible, making targeted approximations (only) where needed. Evaluating this method on a suitably adapted industrial test suite, we demonstrate its effectiveness in both runtime and solution quality.

description: Many applications supported by blockchain technology are emerging in the industry. Blockchain can be used to enforce the correctness of business process execution and, consequently, increasing the trust among the stakeholders involved in complex business processes. Since few experiences in the area have been reported, more are needed to better understand the benefits and pitfalls of blockchain-based solutions for decentralized business process control. This paper is an experience report of two projects that enforce decentralized business process control using blockchain -- a food supply chain and a car registration -- using a Design Science Research Methodology approach. Each application follows a different business process design -- DEMO and BPMN -- leading to different implementations based on Hyperledger Fabric. The major lessons learned are related to the appropriateness of DEMO and BPMN as business process modelling languages in the context of blockchain applications.

Towards the minimal renormalizable supersymmetric $E_6$ model

description: We find an explicit renormalizable supersymmetric $E_6$ model with all the ingredients for being realistic. It consists of the Higgs sector $351'+\overline{351'}+27+\overline{27}$, which breaks $E_6$ directly to the Standard Model gauge group. Three copies of $27$ dimensional representations then describe the matter sector, while an extra $27+\overline{27}$ pair is needed to successfully split the Standard Model Higgs doublet from the heavy Higgs triplet. We perform the analysis of the vacuum structure and the Yukawa sector of this model, as well as compute contributions to proton decay. Also, we show why some other simpler $E_6$ models fail to be realistic at the renormalizable level.

More accurate estimation of the basic reproductive ratio from epidemic incidence data using a model conditioned on major outbreaks

description: The basic reproductive number, R0, is a well-known quantifier of the rate of spread of an epidemic. Here we show that some methods for estimating this quantity from epidemic incidence data can lead to an over-estimation of this quantity. In particular, when fitting deterministic models to estimate the rate of spread, we do not account for the stochastic nature of epidemics and the fact that, given the same system, some outbreaks may lead to major epidemics and some may not. Necessarily, an observed epidemic that we wish to control is a major outbreak and this amounts to an implicit conditioning for major outbreaks which leads to the issue just described. In this talk, I will present a conditioned deterministic model as a solution to this problem.

Goldstone modes in the neutron star core

description: We formulate a theory of Goldstone bosons and their interactions in the superfluid and superconducting phase of dense nucleonic matter at densities of relevance to the neutron star core. For typical neutron star temperatures in the range T = 10^6 to 10^9 K, the Goldstone mode associated with rotational symmetry, called angulons, couple weakly to each other and to electrons. Consequently, these modes have anomalously large mean free paths and can contribute to both diffusive and ballistic transport of heat and momentum. In contrast, the two Goldstone bosons associated with density oscillations of the neutron and electron + proton fluids, called superfluid phonons, mix and couple strongly to electrons. They have shorter mean free paths, and their contribution to transport is negligible. Long-wavelength superfluid phonons and angulons can play a role in neutron star seismology, and lead to interesting phenomenology as angulons couple to magnetic fields and have anisotropic dispersion relations.

How dielectric screening in two-dimensional crystals affects the convergence of excited-state calculations: Monolayer MoS$_2$

description: We present first-principles many-body calculations of the dielectric constant, quasiparticle band structure, and optical absorption spectrum of monolayer MoS$_2$ using a supercell approach. As the separation between the periodically repeated layers is increased, the dielectric function of the layer develops a strong $q$ dependence around $q=0$. This implies that denser $k$-point grids are required to converge the band gap and exciton binding energies when large supercells are used. In the limit of infinite layer separation, here obtained using a truncated Coulomb interaction, a $45\times45$ $k$-point grid is needed to converge the G$_0$W$_0$ band gap and exciton energy to within 0.1 eV. We provide an extensive comparison with previous studies and explain agreement and variations in the results. It is demonstrated that too coarse $k$-point sampling and the interactions between the repeated layers have opposite effects on the band gap and exciton energy, leading to a fortuitous error cancellation in the previously published results.
