description: We derive transport-entropy inequalities for mixed binomial point processes, and for Poisson point processes. We show that when the finite intensity measure satisfies a Talagrand transport inequality, the law of the point process also satisfies a Talagrand type transport inequality. We also show that a Poisson point process (with arbitrary $σ$-finite intensity measure) always satisfies a universal transport-entropy inequality à la Marton. We explore the consequences of these inequalities in terms of concentration of measure and modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. In particular, our results allow one to extend a deviation inequality by Reitzner [31], originally proved for Poisson random measures with finite mass.

description: There is a crisis in international investment law brought about by rapid changes in the economic order resulting in movements of capital from erstwhile developing countries like China and India into developed ones. This is accentuated by the stances taken in investment treaty arbitration that restrict regulatory control. The reaction has been to bring about so called "balanced treaties" that neither secure investment protection nor bring about clear rules on regulatory control. There is a need for a new beginning.

description: Colombia ha establecido la meta de llegar al 0% de pobreza extrema en el 2050. Los seguros en general, al ser un elemento de resiliencia ante la materialización de un riesgo en los segmentos emergentes de la población, se convierten en un elemento de protección de su desarrollo económico, evitando de esta manera que exista un retroceso en el mismo ante situaciones de mortalidad o catástrofes naturales. En el documento se presentan aquellos factores de futuro que pueden ayudar a obtener una mayor penetración de los seguros voluntarios en los segmentos emergentes del país, los cuales se priorizan haciendo uso de las herramientas y procesos definidos por el modelo de prospectiva estratégica francesa. A continuación, se establecen diferentes escenarios de futuro dentro de los cuales se realiza la elección del escenario apuesta y se evidencian otros escenarios posibles. Para finalizar, se sugieren estrategias para el logro del escenario apuesta y se plasma un plan vigía de forma que se pueda mitigar impactos de desviaciones en el escenario.
description: Colombia has established the goal of reaching 0% extreme poverty in 2050. Insurance in general, being an element of resilience in the face of the materialization of a risk in emerging segments of the population, becomes an element of protection of its economic development, thus preventing a setback in situations of mortality or natural disasters. The document presents those future factors that can help obtain greater penetration of voluntary insurance in the emerging segments of the country, which are prioritized using the tools and processes defined by the French strategic foresight model. Next, different future scenarios are established within which the choice of the Target Scenario is made and other possible scenarios are evident. Finally, strategies are suggested for achieving the Target Scenario and a monitoring plan is outlined so that the impacts of deviations in the scenario can be mitigated.

description: Cavity-mediated light-matter coupling can dramatically alter opto-electronic and physico-chemical properties of a molecule. Ab initio theoretical predictions of these systems need to combine non-perturbative, many-body electronic structure theory-based methods with cavity quantum electrodynamics and theories of open quantum systems. Here we generalize quantum-electrodynamical density functional theory to account for dissipative dynamics and describe coupled cavity-molecule interactions in the weak-to-strong-coupling regimes. Specifically, to establish this generalized technique, we study excited-state dynamics and spectral responses of benzene and toluene under weak-to-strong light-matter coupling. By tuning the coupling we achieve cavity-mediated energy transfer between electronic excited states. This generalized ab initio quantum-electrodynamical density functional theory treatment can be naturally extended to describe cavity-mediated interactions in arbitrary electromagnetic environments, accessing correlated light-matter observables and thereby closing the gap between electronic structure theory and quantum optics.

What Does it Mean to Have a Right?
Creators: name: Birnbacher, Dieter
Publisher: name: Intergenerational Justice Review
Year: 2009

description: This contribution offers an introduction into the language of rights and the role rights play in ethics and law, with special reference to the rights of children. It emerges that there are a number of very different functions characteristic of 'rights talk', both in ethics and law, and that many of them offer opportunities for strengthening appeals to moral and legal principles while others involve pitfalls that should be avoided. In conclusion, two of the theoretical questions raised by rights are addressed: whether the concept of rights can be replaced without loss by the concept of obligation, and whether rights should be seen as social constructs derived from obligations, or whether it is more plausible to reverse the order of priority.

Should Democracy Grow up? Children and Voting Rights
Creators: name: Lecce, Steven
Publisher: name: Intergenerational Justice Review
Year: 2009

description: This paper examines whether or not children’s continued electoral exclusion is morally defensible. Ultimately, there is a deep tension between the egalitarian presuppositions of democracy and our apparent unwillingness to grant children voting rights. Unless a plausible distinction can be found, then, between adults and children that also tracks the underlying reasons for endorsing democracy in the first place, the continued political disenfranchisement of our youngest citizens is shown for what it is: social injustice. e paper begins by exploring some of the conceptual difficulties that childhood creates in relation to democracy. It then assesses the implications of two very different approaches to democracy for children’s voting rights: proceduralism and a child’s supposed right to an open future.

description: The authors analyze empirically whether the impact of BITs and RTAs on bilateral FDI flows depends on the inclusion of two legal innovations: investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) and pre-establishment national treatment (NT) provisions. Indeed, they find strong evidence that liberal NT provisions promote FDI. ISDS mechanisms appear to play a minor role. Surprisingly, the impact of similar investment provisions on FDI depends on whether these provisions are contained in RTAs or BITs.

description: Changes in social policy in the United States (US) over the past four decades have provided health insurance for 100 percent of persons over age 65 and decreased poverty for this group while the number of children in poverty has risen and ten million are uninsured. is increasing intergenerational inequity reflects political decisions where children lack a voice. The purposes of this paper are to: 1) summarize, from the fields of ethics, government, law, social welfare and public health, current thinking about enfranchisement of children; 2) review the evolution of voting and representation in the US and identify misperceptions about barriers to equitable representation of children; 3) discuss the legal basis for children being regarded as adults and adult proxy decision making for children; and 4) suggest strategies to stimulate an equitable system of child representation by altering our current system of voting.

Metastable behavior of weakly mixing Markov chains: the case of reversible, critical zero-range processes

name: Seo, Insuk
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We present a general method to derive the metastable behavior of weakly mixing Markov chains. This approach is based on properties of the resolvent equations and can be applied to metastable dynamics which do not satisfy the mixing conditions required in Beltrán and Landim (2010,2012) or in Landim et. al. (2020).
 As an application, we study the metastable behavior of critical zero-range processes. Let $r: S\times S\to \bb R_+$ be the jump rates of an irreducible random walk on a finite set $S$, reversible with respect to the uniform measure. For $α>0$, let $g: \bb N\to \bb R_+$ be given by $g(0)=0$, $g(1)=1$, $g(k) = [k/(k-1)]^α$, $k\ge 2$. Consider a zero-range process on $S$ in which a particle jumps from a site $x$, occupied by $k$ particles, to a site $y$ at rate $g(k) r(x,y)$. For $α\ge 1$, in the stationary state, as the total number of particles, represented by $N$, tends to infinity, all particles but a negligible number accumulate at one single site. This phenomenon is called condensation. Since condensation occurs if and only if $α\ge 1$, we call the case $α=1$ critical. By applying the general method established in the first part of the article to the critical case, we show that the site which concentrates almost all particles evolves in the time-scale $N^2 \log N$ as a random walk on $S$ whose transition rates are proportional to the capacities of the underlying random walk.

Alcance de la responsabilidad de las agencias de aduanas en el régimen de importación colombiano

description: Las agencias aduaneras en el comercio exterior colombiano desempeñan un papel esencial al ofrecer servicios de intermediación conforme a la legislación aduanera y los contratos de mandato. A pesar de que la legislación aduanera colombiana define al responsable aduanero en la importación, también contiene normativas imprecisas, gravosas o contrarias a lo acordado en los contratos de mandato, lo que puede resultar en sanciones impuestas por la autoridad aduanera o Dirección de Impuestos y aduanas Nacionales – DIAN. Este estudio analiza las funciones específicas de las agencias aduaneras, como la presentación de declaraciones y la clasificación de mercancías, para determinar la responsabilidad administrativa del intermediario por errores en estas operaciones. De la interpretación exegética del Decreto 1165 de 2019 podemos anticipar que, como se verá, es posible deducir que el agente de aduanas responde por la realización y presentación de la declaración de importación, en conjunto con otras funciones establecidas por la ley, dada su connotación de experto en la materia y, su calidad especial, como auxiliar de la función pública y sujeto calificado de derecho. Lo anterior, deriva en una responsabilidad administrativa que considera al mandatario, el responsable por los errores cometidos durante el proceso de importación.
description: Customs agencies in Colombian foreign trade, play an essential role by providing intermediary services in accordance with customs legislation and mandate contracts. Despite Colombian customs legislation defining the customs responsible party in the importation process, it also includes regulations that can be vague, burdensome, or contrary to what is agreed upon in mandate contracts. This may result in sanctions imposed by the customs authority (DIAN). This study examines the specific functions of customs agencies, such as declaration submission and goods classification, to determine the administrative responsibility of the intermediary for errors in these operations. From the exegetical interpretation of Decree 1165 of 2019, it can be anticipated that the customs agent is responsible for the preparation and submission of the import declaration, along with other functions established by law. This responsibility is attributed to their expertise and special status as an auxiliary to public function and qualified legal subject. Consequently, it leads to administrative responsibility, placing the mandatary as responsible for errors during the importation process.

Por su parte, la defensoría del pueblo identificó que entre 2016 a 2019 el número de lideres sociales asesinados asciende a los 555 casos (Defensoría del Pueblo, 2020). Así mismo, la ya mencionada entidad informa que en 2020 fueron asesinados 182 lideres, en 2021 un total de 145 casos (Defensoría del Pueblo, 2021); en 2022 se sumaron 215 asesinatos (Defensoría del Pueblo Colombia, 2023) y por ultimo a 21 de julio de 2023 se reportaron 92 casos más (Defensoría del Pueblo Colombia, 2023a) arrojando como cifra total 1.189 lideres sociales víctimas de homicidio.
How to Protect Future Generations' Rights in European Governance

Publisher: name: Intergenerational Justice Review
Year: 2010

description: Given that future generations are right-bearing citizens of tomorrow, legislative systems should secure these rights through appropriate institutions. In the case of the European Union, reference to intergenerational justice can be found in various fundamental legal texts, but, paradoxically, no institutions exist to defend it. The structural short-termism inscribed into representative democracies means that present interests easily trump future concerns. We argue that the best way to overcome this problem is a system of temporal checks and balances. By comparing a selection of existing instruments with regards to their impact on the legislative process, we propose the creation of a European Guardian for Future Generations as the most effective measure to protect the rights of future generations and provide an overview of recent developments in this direction.

description: En el marco del Project Finance surge la necesidad de estructurar de manera adecuada el marco jurídico y financiero para un adecuado desarrollo de la obra. Surge entonces la necesidad de incorporar cláusulas que buscan el aseguramiento del crédito y el otorgamiento de garantías en el marco del Project Finance, las cuales suelen tener una naturaleza particular que se deriva del modelo de autofinanciamiento propio de este esquema. En este orden de ideas surge la necesidad de salvaguardar los derechos del financiador por medio de covenants y garantías especiales que le permiten tener una serie de acciones que buscan principalmente el retorno del dinero otorgado en el contrato de crédito. En este escenario surge el Step In Rights como aquella herramienta que puede ser incorporada por parte del financiador para que en caso de incumplimiento de las obligaciones del contrato de crédito o en el contrato de concesión le sea permitido a este la toma de control del SPV encargado del desarrollo del proyecto. En este trabajo se analiza la figura a los ojos del derecho anglosajón y se plantea la posibilidad de incorporar dicha herramienta en el ordenamiento colombiano.
description: Within the framework of Project Finance, the need arises to adequately structure the legal and financial framework for the proper development of the project. The need then arises to incorporate clauses seeking credit insurance and the granting of guarantees within the framework of Project Finance, which usually have a particular nature that derives from the self-financing model of this scheme. In this context, the need arises to safeguard the rights of the financier by means of covenants and special guarantees that allow him to take a series of actions that mainly seek the return of the money granted in the credit contract. In this stage, Step In Rights arises as a tool that can be incorporated by the financier so that in the event of non-compliance with the obligations in the credit contract or in the concession contract, the financier is allowed to take control of the SPV in charge of the development of the project. This paper analyses the figure through the eyes of Anglo-Saxon law and considers the possibility of incorporating this tool in the Colombian legal system.

description: Este proyecto de investigación se enfoca en analizar los efectos tributarios que se derivan del contrato de mandato en la compra de bienes inmuebles. El estudio se centra de manera primordial en las consecuencias de índole tributaria, así como en los deberes formales que gravitan en torno a los impuestos de registro y sobre la renta. Se aborda, además, el impacto que dicho análisis ejerce sobre el patrimonio tanto del mandante como del mandatario. En este sentido, examinaremos de qué manera el mandato incide en las obligaciones y deberes fiscales de las partes involucradas. Se contempla, en particular, la identificación del ente responsable por la satisfacción de tributos tales como el impuesto de registro, y se procede a un minucioso examen de cómo se interpreta y se distribuye la responsabilidad relacionada con el impuesto sobre la renta en el contexto de estas transacciones. Se reconoce que la cabal comprensión de estas implicaciones constituye un factor determinante para la ejecución adecuada y precisa del mandato.
description: This research project focuses on analyzing the tax effects that arise from the mandate contract in the purchase of real estate properties. The study primarily centers on the tax-related consequences, as well as the formal duties surrounding property registration taxes and income taxes. Additionally, the impact that this analysis has on the assets of both the principal and the agent is addressed. In this regard, we will examine how the mandate affects the tax obligations and duties of the parties involved. Particularly, the identification of the entity responsible for tax fulfillment, such as property registration tax, is considered, and a thorough examination is conducted on how the responsibility related to income tax is interpreted and distributed in the context of these transactions. It is acknowledged that a thorough understanding of these implications constitutes a determining factor for the proper and accurate execution of the mandate.
title: Interaktive Dialogsysteme
Creators: name: Kotzev, Emanoil Anguelov
Year: 2008

description: Das Thema der vorliegenden Arbeit kann mit den folgenden drei Hauptfragen zusammengefasst werden: (1) was ist Dialog, (2) welche charakteristische Merkmale hat der Dialog und (3) was ist notwendig, um Dialog erfolgreich mit Hilfe von Maschinen (Computersystemen) zu simulieren. Die Arbeit wurde in der Hoffnung geschrieben, dass sie als Basis und Ausgangspunkt für weitere Forschungen in den bezeichneten wissenschaftlichen Gebieten benutzt werden kann, wie auch in der Hoffnung, dadurch die Aufmerksamkeit von Sprachwissenschaftlerinnen und Germanistinnen auf Forschungsperspektiven und Herausforderungen in diesem Gebiet zu lenken. Dabei wird auch gezeigt, wie weit die theoretischen Grundlagen, die sich auf zwischenmenschliche Dialogformen beziehen, in interaktiven Dialogsystemen implementiert werden können; welche zusätzliche Mittel notwendig sind, um solche Systeme menschenähnlicher in der Dialogkommunikation zu machen. Die Frage nach interaktiven Dialogsystemen wird vor allem aus pragmatischen Gründen gestellt, denn mit der Entwicklung der Computertechnologie werden auch die Einsatzmöglichkeiten für Computer immer mehr. Das führt dazu, dass viel mehr Menschen, vor allem Nicht-Experten, am Computer arbeiten. Die Kommunikation mit dem Computer läuft allerdings, mit Ausnahme der Erfindung und Einführung der Maus in den 1960er/1970er, bis heute noch vor allem über die Konsole (Tastatur/Monitor). Die menschliche Dialogfähigkeit zeichnet sich durch die Fähigkeit aus, typische Organisationsprinzipien des Dialogs zu erkennen und anzuwenden. Die Prinzipien betreffen einerseits die kognitiven Fähigkeiten des Menschen, andererseits unterschiedliche formale Aspekte. Ein Dialogsystem sollte also diese menschliche Dialogfähigkeit in unterschiedlichen kommunikativen Situationen nachahmen können. Eben aus diesem Grund steht einerseits der Dialog als Kommunikationsmittel im Zentrum der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit, andererseits aber die Frage, wie ein gesprochener Dialog mit einem Computersystem und in welchem Ausmaß möglich wäre.

description: We are interested to explore the limit in using deep learning (DL) to study the electromagnetic response for complex and random metasurfaces, without any specific applications in mind. For simplicity, we focus on a simple pure reflection problem of a broadband electromagnetic (EM) plane wave incident normally on such complex metasurfaces in the frequency regime of 2 to 12 GHz. In doing so, we create a deep learning (DL) based framework called metasurface design deep convolutional neural network (MSDCNN) for both the forward and inverse design of three different classes of complex metasurfaces: (a) Arbitrary connecting polygons, (b) Basic pattern combination, and (c) Fully random binary patterns. The performance of each metasurface is evaluated and cross-benchmarked. Dependent on the type of complex metasurfaces, sample size, and DL algorithms used, MSDCNN is able to provide good agreements and can be a faster design tool for complex metasurfaces as compared to the traditional full-wave electromagnetic simulation methods. However, no single universal deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model can work well for all metasurface classes based on detailed statistical analysis (such as mean, variance, kurtosis, mean squared error). Our findings report important information on the advantages and limitation of current DL models in designing these ultimately complex metasurfaces.

description: The Environmental Data Initiative (EDI) is a data curation center and data archive for the ecological research community. Its goal is to accelerate the curation, archiving, and dissemination of environmental data. “FAIR” principles (Findable, Accessible, Integratable, Reusable) are implemented by providing a registered and trustworthy data repository for long-term preservation and data integrity while documenting data with rich science metadata to enable discovery, access, reuse, and integration. The EDI data repository has been in operation for over five years and was built based on almost 40 years of data management experience gained in the NSF Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program. It currently houses over 42,000 data sets from LTER, biological field stations and many other NSF funded projects. 42,000 data sets is a large number, however, their combined size of about 9 terabyte and individual size of bytes to megabyte and rarely gigabytes is not. Hence, the ‘big data’ challenges EDI faces are highly variable data in structure, spatial and temporal scales, sampling methods, parameters measured, and semantics of the metadata. E.g., a simple search for ‘biodiversity’ returns well over 500 data sets and each one is unique in its sampling methods, data structure and parameter naming.

This problem is not unique to EDI’s collection of datasets, but describes the ‘long-tail’ ecological research in general with only a few exceptions where sampling, data, and metadata are highly standardized. However, despite the discussed problems these data are extremely valuable and synthesis research has successfully used them to answer important large scale questions. In this problem space EDI is currently exploring approaches to further accelerate scientific inquiry through data management driven data harmonization. Based on experience and synthesis science input we are proposing a distributed model in which data sets are only reformatted without any aggregation or other manipulations based on a preconceived research question. We will report on the first such project harmonizing long-term community observation data sets across LTER sites and discuss considerations for choosing this approach, advantages, disadvantages, and tools developed by EDI to support synthesis scientists.

description: Abstract:
The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission is incorporating an Advanced Traveler Information System to alleviate real-time traffic problems associated with special events at the Ervin J. Nutter Center of the Wright State University. This study of the existing conditions is part of the evaluation plan and addresses two tasks: 1) documentation of the existing conditions; and 2) definition of measures of effectiveness. The existing conditions were depicted with the use of a computer simulation software package, Traffic Software Integrated System and separate scenarios were modeled for three existing conditions: ingress and egress for a special event and a major shopping day. For each of the modeled scenarios, several runs were conducted to accurately picture the traffic environment and avoid possible outliers due to the stochastic nature of the simulation program. Model calibration and validation was also used by conducting travel time studies. Several measures of effectiveness were chosen including travel times, delays, and system speeds. Finally, specific routes were studied for each of the scenarios and problem areas were identified.

description: Electric voltage applied in electrowetting can induce speading, sliding and even jumping of an individual droplet by changing the intrinsic balance of three-phase interfacial tensions, which has been widely used for droplet manipulating in microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices in over decades. In the present paper, we present an analytical prediction of jumping velocity for droplets electrowetting on textured hydrophobic surfaces with different wetting states. In particular, we consider a liquid droplet wetting on a textured hydrophobic substrate with a voltage applied between the droplet and the substrate. Once the voltage is turned off, the energy stored in the droplet during the electrowetting releases and could even result in the detachment of the droplet. The effects of the initial and electro-wetting states, i.e. Cassie-Baxter state and Wenzel state, on the jumping velocity of droplets are systematically discussed. Based on energy conservation, the energy conversion between the surface energy, internal viscous dissipation and the kinetic energy of droplets in different wetting states are analysed. The close-form formulas to predict the jumping velocity for different droplet wetting states are systematically derived. Finally, the unified form for predicting the electrowetting-induced jumping velocity of droplets on both flat and textured substrates with different wetting states is obtained, which can describe the jumping motion with various wetting conditions. This work provide theoretical insights on accurate control of the electrowetting-induced jumping motion of droplets on textured hydrophobic surfaces.

description: Graph-structured data capture complex relationships and interactions between entities, offering valuable insights for scientific discovery, business modeling, and AI-driven decision-making. Despite its transformative potential, learning on graphs faces two key challenges: (1) scaling expressive learning approaches, especially subgraph-based graph representation learning, and (2) ensuring privacy when handling sensitive relational data. Both challenges arise from intricate dependencies in graph structures, which limit the effectiveness of canonical algorithms and system optimizations. This dissertation addresses these challenges through a unified framework that integrates system-aware algorithm design across two main thrusts.In Thrust I, we develop a family of efficient frameworks for expressive graph representation learning that eliminate redundancy in subgraph-based methods. By decoupling dependencies over task-specific input features (i.e., query-induced subgraphs), the proposed paradigm enables efficient higher-order pattern discovery, scalable network analysis on billion-edge graphs, and low-latency online inference using reusable, task-agnostic features derived from random walks, node-set sampling, and neighborhood hashing. In Thrust II, we extend the design principle to privacy-preserving relational learning, where structural dependencies in graphs often violate the gradient decoupling assumption in standard privacy learning mechanisms like differentially private stochastic gradient descent (DP-SGD). We propose the first differential private relational learning framework that disentangles sample dependencies through a tailored DP-SGD approach. This framework enables the private fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs) on sensitive graph data, effectively addressing associated computational complexities while achieving strong privacy-utility trade-offs. By co-designing learning algorithms and system implementations, this dissertation demonstrates how graph-based AI can be both scalable and trustworthy, opening new avenues for learning from complex structured data in real-world applications.
