description: Random constraint satisfaction problems play an important role in computer science and combinatorics. For example, they provide challenging benchmark instances for algorithms and they have been harnessed in probabilistic constructions of combinatorial structures with peculiar features. In an important contribution [Krzakala et al., PNAS 2007] physicists made several predictions on the precise location and nature of phase transitions in random constraint satisfaction problems. Specifically, they predicted that their satisfiability thresholds are quite generally preceded by several other thresholds that have a substantial impact both combinatorially and computationally. These include the condensation phase transition, where long-range correlations between variables emerge, and the reconstruction threshold. In this paper we prove these physics predictions for a broad class of random constraint satisfaction problems. Additionally, we obtain contiguity results that have implications on Bayesian inference tasks, a subject that has received a great deal of interest recently (e.g., [Banks et al., COLT 2016]).

The Brown Moment in Taiwan: Making Sense of the Law and Politics of the Taiwanese Same-Sex Marriage Case in a Comparative Light
Creators: name: Kuo, Ming-Sung
name: Chen, Hui-Wen
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2017

description: The Taiwan Constitutional Court (TCC) recently issued a landmark decision in Interpretation No. 748 (the Same-Sex Marriage Case), declaring the definition of marriage as a gender-differentiated union of a man and a woman under the Civil Code unconstitutional and setting the stage for Taiwan to become the first in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. This decision has been compared to Obergefell v. Hodges. However, reading Obergefell in the broad context of the gay rights movement and the role of judicial review in Taiwanese constitutional politics, we challenge this analogy. Due to the discrepancy between the social movement and the law in the fight for constitutional rights for gays and lesbians in Taiwan, the Same-Sex Marriage Case is Taiwan’s Brown v. Board of Education moment in her constitutional law and politics. To make sense of the law and politics of the Same Sex Marriage Case, we evaluate its political context and the text and style in its reasoning. We observe a discrepancy between law and politics in the pursuit of the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians in Taiwan. The rise of same-sex marriage to the top of the antidiscrimination agenda resulted from the continuous effort of gay rights activists, while the TCC watched this movement from the sidelines until the Same-Sex Marriage Case. This case thus mirrors Brown in two respects. First, the role of the TCC has been publicly questioned after its Brown-like contentious decision on the issue of same-sex marriage. Second, the text and style of the Same-Sex Marriage Case is evocative of the exceptional brevity, managed unanimity, and scientific rationality in Brown. Echoing the Brown Court, the TCC attempts to manage judicial legitimacy, anticipating and answering the political reaction to its ruling in light of its intervention in gay rights issues by tackling the fundamental question of same-sex marriage head-on.

Direct Connection between Mott Insulator and d-Wave High-Temperature Superconductor Revealed by Continuous Evolution of Self-Energy Poles

description: The high-temperature superconductivity in copper oxides emerges when carriers are doped into the parent Mott insulator. This well-established fact has, however, eluded a microscopic explanation. Here we show that the missing link is the self-energy pole in the energy-momentum space. Its continuous evolution with doping directly connects the Mott insulator and high-temperature superconductivity. We show this by numerically studying the extremely small doping region close to the Mott insulating phase in a standard model for cuprates, the two-dimensional Hubbard model. We first identify two relevant self-energy structures in the Mott insulator; the pole generating the Mott gap and a relatively broad peak generating the so-called waterfall structure, which is another consequence of strong correlations present in the Mott insulator. We next reveal that either the Mott-gap pole or the waterfall structure (the feature at the energy closer to the Fermi level) directly transforms itself into another self-energy pole at the same energy and momentum when the system is doped with carriers. The anomalous self-energy yielding the superconductivity is simultaneously born exactly at this energy-momentum point. Thus created self-energy pole, interpreted as arising from a hidden fermionic excitation, continuously evolves upon further doping and considerably enhances the superconductivity. Above the critical temperature, the same self-energy pole generates a pseudogap in the normal state. We thus elucidate a unified Mott-physics mechanism, where the self-energy structure inherent to the Mott insulator directly gives birth to both the high-temperature superconductivity and pseudogap.

The Return of Private Banks? Grass-root Lending Institutions in China

Year: 2016

description: Although grass-root private lending institutions are not an idiosyncratic economic phenomenon unique to China, their ambiguous and complex legal status within China’s financial system gives rise to unique legal questions that merit serious research and analysis. Assisted with firsthand operational information collected from forty-nine current and former private lenders, this paper seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding, from a legal perspective, of the current state of grass-root private lending institutions in China against a rapidly changing legal landscape, as well as to provide constructive foresight into the future development of these functionally critical but politically vulnerable institutions. And specifically, this paper will explore the prospects of certain existing grass-root lending institutions to develop into legitimate private banks, a rarity in China’s state-dominated banking sector, and the likely paths for this possibility to materialize in light of the state’s growing willingness to tolerate private players in its official financial system.

description: Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a novel medical imaging modality that uses the advantages of the spatial resolution of ultrasound imaging and the high contrast of pure optical imaging. Analytical algorithms are usually employed to reconstruct the photoacoustic (PA) images as a result of their simple implementation. However, they provide a low accurate image. Model-based (MB) algorithms are used to improve the image quality and accuracy while a large number of transducers and data acquisition are needed. In this paper, we have combined the theory of compressed sensing (CS) with MB algorithms to reduce the number of transducer. Smoothed version of L0-norm (SL0) was proposed as the reconstruction method, and it was compared with simple iterative reconstruction (IR) and basis pursuit. The results show that S$\ell_0$ provides a higher image quality in comparison with other methods while a low number of transducers were. Quantitative comparison demonstrates that, at the same condition, the SL0 leads to a peak-signal-to-noise ratio for about two times of the basis pursuit.

description: Spherical configurations that are very massive must be surrounded by apparent horizons. These in turn, when placed outside a collapsing body, must propagate outward with a velocity equal to the velocity of radially outgoing photons. That proves, within the framework of (1+3) formalism and without resorting to the Birkhoff theorem, that apparent horizons coincide with event horizons.

description: The period from 1910 to 1939 was one of the most turbulent chapters in New South Wales labour history. It was defined by intense ideological conflict, winner-take-all factional warfare, widespread accusations of corruption and multiple Labor Party splits. Intertwined within these issues were questions of democracy and oligarchy within the labour movement. To what extent should members control labour institutions? Democracy within unions and parties means control by the ordinary members and, where necessary, their accountable representatives. Oligarchy sits at the opposite end of the spectrum from democracy and entails organisational domination by a small group of leaders. This thesis examines the tensions and struggles between democracy and oligarchy within three key labour organisations. Events inside one major organisation affected what happened inside the others and my study is therefore relational and comparative, examining the Australian Workers Union (AWU), the Miners Federation and the NSW Labor Party. Both the AWU and NSW Labor Party were oligarchies and became more oligarchical over time. Conversely, the Miners Federation was highly democratic, although it too became less democratic over time. The NSW Labor Party was an interconnected oligarchy, both influencing and influenced by its affiliated trade unions. These influences were complicated and sometimes counterintuitive. At times the effects were straightforward, with organisations and leaders transposing their own methods into another organisation, but in other instances the participation of oligarchical unions and union leaders enhanced democracy within the Labor Party and vice versa. Oligarchy predominated in the AWU and NSW Labor Party but it was always contested. Countervailing tendencies against oligarchy were continuously operating in some form, even when the organisations were at their least democratic. My analytical framework comes from the sociological literature on trade union and political party democracy and I compare each organisation’s community, rules, local autonomy, rank-and-file decision-making, internal opposition, free communication and equality between officials and members. The key factor that separated the democratic Miners Federation from the oligarchical AWU and Labor Party was that the miners worked and lived within united, stable occupational communities in which the majority of union members and officials believed in democracy and worked towards its realisation.

description: The ability of semi-classical transport models to correctly simulate Pauli blocking and Bose enhancement is discussed. In the context of simple quantum mechanical systems, it is shown that using $(1 \pm f)$ enhancements is inadequate to describe systems far from equilibrium. The relaxation of $(1 + f)$ descriptions toward equilibrium is studied both in the context of simple models, including a hot pion gas confined to a box. We give simple estimates for the characteristic number of collisions for a system to relax toward equilibrium.

Atomic Hydrogen Dynamics and Neutral Depletion in a High Power Linear Plasma Device
Creators: name: Cousens, Samuel
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: Neutral particles are an important constituent of low temperature plasma. Neutral particles are involved in collisions in the plasma, where they can form new species and are an energy and momentum sink. However, there are few methods that make direct measurements of neutral species in the plasma. A two-photon absorption laser-induced fluorescence (TALIF) diagnostic is established to investigate the properties of neutral atomic hydrogen in a high density pulsed plasma. A Nd:YAG-pumped dye laser at 205.1nm is used to directly probe the ground state of atomic hydrogen, by monitoring the fluorescence at 656nm. The TALIF diagnostic is capable of making both spatially and temporally resolved measurements of the atomic hydrogen. The TALIF diagnostic is used to examine the atomic hydrogen densities and temperatures in high power (1-20kW) discharges in the MAGnetised Plasma Interaction Experiment (MAGPIE) helicon device. Neutral atomic hydrogen is observed to decrease in density above 5kW applied RF power, where the plasma pressure becomes comparable to the gas pressure. This decrease in density is explained to be due to neutral depletion of the atomic hydrogen in the centre of the chamber, which to the author's knowledge are the first experimental measurements of neutral depletion of hydrogen in a linear plasma device. Temporal measurements in the afterglow of the higher power (>5kW) plasma discharge show a replenishment of atomic hydrogen in the early afterglow. This replenishment is observed to be consistent with depletion of atomic hydrogen during the discharge and is due to the neutrals flowing back in to the depleted regions after the plasma has decayed. Radial measurements show a slight increase in atomic hydrogen further from the plasma core. Atomic hydrogen is shown to display increasing temperature with higher applied powers with a constant radial temperature profile. There is no observed evidence of a secondary hotter population of atomic hydrogen. A two-state decay of atomic hydrogen after the plasma discharge is observed at lower applied power (1kW). It is determined that different processes account for the two different decay rates with the second slower decay rate being due to atomic losses at the chamber walls. A single decay rate is observed at the higher powers which is also explained to be due to the same process.
Is There a Way in the Labyrinth of Treaty Norms Leading to the Applicable Rule?: Investor-State Investment Settlement under the China-Korea FTA, China-Japan-Korea BIT and China-Korea BIT

description: With the signature of the Free Trade Agreement between the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Korea (CK FTA) in 2015 and subsequent ratification, there will be three sets of rules with respect to investment flow between China and Korea, i.e. the Agreement among the Government of the People’s Republic of China, the Government of Japan and the Government of the Republic of Korea on the Promotion and Protection of Investment. A quick look at these rules will show that there are overlapping and even conflicts among them. While the agreements were designed to facilitate the investment flow between the countries concerned, the rules will pose intimidating barriers to the investors. And even for professional lawyers, this will be a labyrinth of treaty norms. A question arises in this regard: shall there be an integrated approach so that there will be a coherent cannon of rules, which encompass a recognition of the rules in CK FTA, CJK BIT and CK BIT as mutually complimentary to each other, and lex posterior derogat priori. The article is to be structured as follows: Part A is an introduction that highlights the issues; Part B is an examination of the major investments rules in the three sets of IIAs mentioned-above; Part C focuses on a discussion of how to determine the applicable rules among various treaties under the Vienna Convention and Part D concludes the article with a few remarks in the context of the IIAs.

description: We propose TEDT, a new Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) mode leveraging Tweakable Block Ciphers (TBCs). TEDT provides the following features: (i) It offers full leakage-resistance, that is, it limits the exploitability of physical leakages via side-channel attacks, even if these leakages happen during every message encryption and decryption operation. Moreover, the leakage integrity bound is asymptotically optimal in the multi-user setting. (ii) It offers nonce misuse-resilience, that is, the repetition of nonces does not impact the security of ciphertexts produced with fresh nonces. (iii) It can be implemented with a remarkably low energy cost when strong resistance to side-channel attacks is needed, supports online encryption and handles static and incremental associated data efficiently. Concretely, TEDT encourages so-called leveled implementations, in which two TBCs are implemented: the first one needs strong and energy demanding protections against side-channel attacks but is used in a limited way, while the other only requires weak and energy-efficient protections and performs the bulk of the computation. As a result, TEDT leads to more energy-efficient implementations compared to traditional AEAD schemes, whose side-channel security requires to uniformly protect every (T)BC execution.

description: We discuss various reactions at future e+e- and gamma-gamma colliders involving real (beamstrahlung or backscattered laser) or quasi--real (bremsstrahlung) photons in the initial state and hadrons in the final state. The production of two central jets with large pT is described in some detail; we give distributions for the rapidity and pT of the jets as well as the di--jet invariant mass, and discuss the relative importance of various initial state configurations and the uncertainties in our predictions. We also present results for `mono--jet' production where one jet goes down a beam pipe, for the production of charm, bottom and top quarks, and for single production of W and Z bosons. Where appropriate, the two--photon processes are compared with annihilation reactions leading to similar final states. We also argue that the behaviour of the total inelastic gamma-gamma cross section at high energies will probably have little impact on the severity of background problems caused by soft and semi--hard (`minijet') two--photon reactions. We find very large differences in cross sections for all two--photon processes between existing designs for future e+e- colliders, due to the different beamstrahlung spectra; in particular, both designs with <<1 and >>1 events per bunch crossing exist.

Recovering the CTR_DRBG state in 256 traces
Creators: name: De Meyer, Lauren
Publisher: name: IACR Transactions on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems
Year: 2019

description: The NIST CTR_DRBG specification prescribes a maximum size on each random number request, limiting the number of encryptions in CTR mode with the same key to 4 096. Jaffe’s attack on AES in CTR mode without knowledge of the nonce from CHES 2007 requires 216 traces, which is safely above this recommendation. In this work, we exhibit an attack that requires only 256 traces, which is well within the NIST limits. We use simulated traces to investigate the success probability as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio. We also demonstrate its success in practice by attacking an AES-CTR implementation on a Cortex-M4 among others and recovering both the key and nonce. Our traces and code are made openly available for reproducibility.

description: In this paper we study the connection between the spectral condition of an Hermite subdivision operator and polynomial reproduction properties of the associated subdivision scheme. While it is known that in general the spectral condition does not imply the reproduction of polynomials, we here prove that a special spectral condition (defined by shifted monomials) is actually equivalent to the reproduction of polynomials. We further put into evidence that the sum rule of order $\ell>d$ associated with an Hermite subdivision operator of order $d$ does not imply that the spectral condition of order $\ell$ is satisfied, while it is known that these two concepts are equivalent in the case $\ell=d$.

Lightweight Authenticated Encryption Mode of Operation for Tweakable Block Ciphers

Year: 2019

description: The use of a small block length is a common strategy when designing lightweight (tweakable) block ciphers (TBCs), and several 64-bit primitives have been proposed. However, when such a 64-bit primitive is used for an authenticated encryption with birthday-bound security, it has only 32-bit data complexity, which is subject to practical attacks. To employ a short block length without compromising security, we propose PFB, a lightweight TBC-based authenticated encryption with associated data mode, which achieves beyond-birthday-bound security. For this purpose, we extend iCOFB, which is originally defined with a tweakable random function. Unlike iCOFB, the proposed method can be instantiated with a TBC using a fixed tweak length and can handle variable-length data. Moreover, its security bound is improved and independent of the data length; this improves the key lifetime, particularly in lightweight blocks with a small size. The proposed method also covers a broader class of feedback functions because of the generalization presented in our proof. We evaluate the concrete hardware performances of PFB, which benefits from the small block length and shows particularly good performances in threshold implementation.

description: We investigate the sensitivity of individual LIGO/VIRGO-like interferometers and the precision with which they can determine the characteristics of an inspiralling binary system. Since the two interferometers of the LIGO detector share nearly the same orientation, their joint sensitivity is similar to that of a single, more sensitive interferometer. We express our results for a single interferometer of both initial and advanced LIGO design, and also for the LIGO detector in the limit that its two interferometers share exactly the same orientation. We approximate the evolution of a binary system as driven exclusively by leading order quadrupole gravitational radiation. To assess the sensitivity, we calculate the rate at which sources are expected to be observed, the range to which they are observable, and the precision with which characteristic quantities describing the observed binary system can be determined. Assuming a conservative rate density for coalescing neutron star binary systems we expect that the advanced LIGO detector will observe approximately 69~yr${}^{-1}$ with an amplitude SNR greater than 8. Of these, approximately 7~yr${}^{-1}$ will be from binaries at distances greater than 950~Mpc. We explore the sensitivity of these results to a tunable parameter in the interferometer design (the recycling frequency). The optimum choice of the parameter is dependent on the goal of the observations, e.g., maximizing the rate of detections or maximizing the precision of measurement. We determine the optimum parameter values for these two cases.

Criminalization of Drug Trafficking in Vietnam: Developments and Challenges
Creators: name: Nguyen, Hoa Phuong T.

Year: 2016

description: Since the adoption of an “open door” economic policy in 1986, drug trafficking in Vietnam has increased significantly. In 1997, Vietnam ratified the three UN drug control conventions and launched efforts to bring its national laws into line with them. As a newcomer to these international standards, Vietnam lacked experience in developing laws to combat drug trafficking. Fifteen years on, how well does Vietnamese legislation comply with the international requirements? How could compliance and, more broadly, the relevant legislation be improved? The first part of this paper draws a picture of drug trafficking in Vietnam since the “open door” economic policy was adopted. The second part analyses the government’s legislative action over the past fifteen years to combat drug-related crime. The analysis reveals some inconsistencies with the UN standards and, moreover, some inherent problems in the recent formulation of the Vietnamese drug-related laws that require rectification through legislative clarification.

description: By evolution of fermion mass matrices of the Fritzsch and the Georgi-Jarlskog forms from the supersymmetric grand unified scale, DHR obtained predictions for the quark masses and mixings. Using Monte Carlo methods we test these predictions against the latest determinations of the mixings, the CP-violating parameter epsilon_K and the B_d^0--Bbar_d^0 mixing parameter r_d. The acceptable solutions closely specify the quark masses and mixings, but lie at the edges of allowed regions at 90% confidence level.

description: The excitation energy and the nuclear density at the time of breakup are extracted for the $α+ ^{197}Au$ reaction at beam energies of 1 and 3.6 GeV/nucleon. These quantities are calculated from the average relative velocity of intermediate mass fragments (IMF) at large correlation angles as a function of the multiplicity of IMFs using a statistical model coupled with many-body Coulomb trajectory calculations. The Coulomb component $\vec{v}_{c}$ and thermal component $\vec{v}_{0}$ are found to depend oppositely on the excitation energy, IMFs multiplicity, and freeze-out density. These dependencies allow the determination of both the volume and the mean excitation energy at the time of breakup. It is found that the volume remained constant as the beam energy was increased, with a breakup density of about $ρ_{0}/7$, but that the excitation energy increased $25\%$ to about 5.5 MeV/nucleon.

Legal and Political Rights Advocacy in Wrongful Conviction Death Penalty Cases in China: A Study of the Leping Case of Injustice
Creators: name: Jue, Jiang
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2016

description: The problem of wrongful conviction has become more widely acknowledged in China today. Drawing on a study of the Leping case of injustice, in which four defendants were convicted of rape and murder and sentenced to death for a crime they had not committed, this article discusses how the efforts of correcting it meet a deadlock in China’s judicial system, and how, in this circumstance, Chinese civil society initiates and runs a network advocacy aiming at breaking the deadlock and advancing the correction.

The Picnic Makers of Bongo: Developing rituals and ritualising developments in a transitioning frontier Bhutanese community
Creators: name: Chophel, Dendup
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: My thesis is based on a year's ethnographic fieldwork conducted in what has been called 'frontier zones' or 'zones of contact' in the anthropological literature of the Himalayas (Pratt 1991 as cited in Shneiderman, 2010: 291). Because of its removed distance from Bhutan's civilizational centre, Bongo was home to a multifaceted indigenous culture that is part of what Tucci (1980 [1970]) called 'folk religion' of the Tibetan cultural area. However, as the Bhutanese state embarked on a systematic modernisation process in the 1960s, precocious children from Bongo became one of its primary beneficiaries. Because of its close proximity to the neighbouring Indian hill stations of Darjeeling and Kalimpong, many of these children received British-style managerial education. Their new competencies enabled them to rise through the ranks of the then nascent Bhutanese civil service. However, the earliest interventions that these educated members of Bongo made in their community was to emulate the state's sophisticated Buddhist culture in their community in what I call the development of rituals. Similar processes can be witnessed in other Himalayan areas that Ortner (1995: 359) labelled as 'religious upgrading', where adoption of Buddhism was the first and primary manifestation of development and progress. From 2008, when the Bhutanese state became secularised and as successive elected governments promoted a material culture that is amendable to their more immediate electoral imperatives, Bongo's communal capabilities have been recalibrated to serve what I call a ritualised development. Therefore, I employ Shneiderman's (2015) distinction between the 'practice' and 'performance' of rituals to argue that "the process of modernisation [has been] a process of ritualization" in Bongo. In view of the rich ritual culture that I was confronted with in my fieldwork, my research seeks to ask why the so-called 'development' or 'modernisation' (as some prefer to call this phenomenon) takes on ritual form in certain historically peripheral societies? In answering this primary question, I found that the state acts a major cause and catalyst of change, and so, this thesis asks what role does the state play in triggering such transformations? But contrary to some simplistic perceptions, the people can be agentive actors and can often mediate effectively with what is called the 'state effect' (Shneiderman, 2010: 291). Therefore, my research seeks to answer what broader impact does such modernising processes and 'objectification of culture' have on the redistribution of key economic resources and in realigning the axis of power between centrally and peripherally located actors in the state.
On the Definition of Decoherence

description: We examine the relationship between the decoherence of quantum-mechanical histories of a closed system (as discussed by Gell-Mann and Hartle) and environmentally-induced diagonalization of the density operator for an open system. We study a definition of decoherence which incorporates both of these ideas, and show that it leads to a consistent probabilistic interpretation of the reduced density operator.

Effects of Important Parameters Variations on Computing Eigenspace-Based Minimum Variance Weights for Ultrasound Tissue Harmonic Imaging

description: In recent years, the minimum variance (MV) beamforming has been widely studied due to its high resolution and contrast in B-mode Ultrasound imaging (USI). However, the performance of the MV beamformer is degraded at the presence of noise, as a result of the inaccurate covariance matrix estimation which leads to a low quality image. Second harmonic imaging (SHI) provides many advantages over the conventional pulse-echo USI, such as enhanced axial and lateral resolutions. However, the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a major problem in SHI. In this paper, Eigenspace-based minimum variance (EIBMV) beamformer has been employed for second harmonic USI. The Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI) is achieved by Pulse Inversion (PI) technique. Using the EIBMV weights, instead of the MV ones, would lead to reduced sidelobes and improved contrast, without compromising the high resolution of the MV beamformer (even at the presence of a strong noise). In addition, we have investigated the effects of variations of the important parameters in computing EIBMV weights, i.e., K, L, and δ, on the resolution and contrast obtained in SHI. The results are evaluated using numerical data (using point target and cyst phantoms), and the proper parameters of EIBMV are indicated for THI.

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.
