description: We demonstrate the utility of a new methodological tool, neural-network word embedding models, for large-scale text analysis, revealing how these models produce richer insights into cultural associations and categories than possible with prior methods. Word embeddings represent semantic relations between words as geometric relationships between vectors in a high-dimensional space, operationalizing a relational model of meaning consistent with contemporary theories of identity and culture. We show that dimensions induced by word differences (e.g. man - woman, rich - poor, black - white, liberal - conservative) in these vector spaces closely correspond to dimensions of cultural meaning, and the projection of words onto these dimensions reflects widely shared cultural connotations when compared to surveyed responses and labeled historical data. We pilot a method for testing the stability of these associations, then demonstrate applications of word embeddings for macro-cultural investigation with a longitudinal analysis of the coevolution of gender and class associations in the United States over the 20th century and a comparative analysis of historic distinctions between markers of gender and class in the U.S. and Britain. We argue that the success of these high-dimensional models motivates a move towards "high-dimensional theorizing" of meanings, identities and cultural processes.

description: The objective of this article is to contribute to the academic and managerial debate on the issue of the impact of adopting an ICT strategy in improving organizational performance by presenting a theoretical model of Moroccan companies that highlights this relationship. To this end, a review of the state of the art allowed us to choose the most appropriate approaches to operationalize the theoretical constructs of our synthetic model. Then, we tested our theoretical model of structural equations developed from the literature review by confronting it with the data of an empirical study on Moroccan Large and Medium companies (LMC). The tool used during this study for data collection is the questionnaire. As for the validity and reliability analyses of the measurements of each of the theoretical dimensions of the research model, we used confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) using AMOS.

The results of structural equation modeling show that ICT strategies such as practicing technology monitoring or implementing ICT architecture alone can increase organizational performance.

description: Ausgehend von der Beobachtung, dass an einigen Forschungsgruppen der TU Wien der Frauenanteil unter Dissertant_innen überdurchschnittlich und in anderen Forschungsgruppen unterdurchschnittlich ist, stellt sich die Frage nach den zugrunde liegenden Einflussfaktoren. Gibt es einen Unterschied in den fachlichen Interessen von Frauen und Männern, die eine Dissertation an der TU Wien schreiben? Oder gibt es Rahmenbedingungen, die für Frauen förderlicher sind – und wenn ja: welche sind das? Welche Faktoren wirken sich positiv auf die Beteiligung von Frauen in den technischen Wissenschaften aus? Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen wurden drei Datenmengen erhoben und ausgewertet: • 3534 Dissertationen aus dem Zeitraum von 2002 bis 2015 • 16 Interviews mit Dissertantinnen • 404 Online-Fragebögen von Dissertant_innen Es zeigt sich, dass der quantitative Unterschied der Frauen-/Männeranteile nicht an einem fundamentalen geschlechtsspezifischen Interessensunterschied liegt, sondern an anderen Faktoren, beispielsweise schreiben Frauen überproportional oft eine Dissertation dort, wo sie von Frauen betreut werden – wobei das weniger am Geschlecht der Betreuungsperson liegt und mehr an der bereits bekannten Arbeitsgruppe. Entgegen den Aussagen aus der Literatur sind Männer und Frauen gleichermaßen in der Grundlagenforschung wie in der angewandten Forschung zu finden. Ebenso gibt es keine signifikanten Unterschiede bei experimentellen oder theoretischen Arbeiten. Zu den förderlichen Rahmenfaktoren gehören weibliche Role Models. Nicht förderlich ist ein Arbeitsalltag, in dem Männer karrierefördernder behandelt werden als Frauen, indem ihnen mehr Expertise zugeschrieben wird. Männer wurden öfter als Frauen gefragt, ob sie die Dissertation am jeweiligen Institut schreiben wollen, und sie arbeiten öfter als Frauen in Teams. Der sehr hohen Motivation der Studentinnen, sich in ein Thema zu vertiefen, stehen negative Faktoren einer klassischen Wissenschaftskarriere im Weg (prekäre Arbeitsverhältnisse, geringe Planbarkeit, hoher Leistungsdruck etc.). Dies sowie erlebter Sexismus und Ausgrenzung geben Hinweise auf die Notwendigkeit eines Kulturwandels an technischen Universitäten, wenn man den Frauenanteil in den oberen Hierarchiestufen erhöhen will.

description: Over the past two decades, cache attacks have been identified as a threat to the security of cipher implementations. These attacks recover secret information by combining observations of the victim cache accesses with the knowledge of the internal structure of the cipher. So far, cache attacks have been applied to ciphers that have fixed state transformations, leaving open the question of whether using secret, key-dependent transformations enhances the security against such attacks. In this paper we investigate this question. We look at an implementation of the North Korean cipher Pilsung, as reverse-engineered by Kryptos Logic. Like AES, Pilsung is a permutation-substitution cipher, but unlike AES, both the substitution and the permutation steps in Pilsung depend on the key, and are not known to the attacker. We analyze Pilsung and design a cache-based attack. We improve the state of the art by developing techniques for reversing secret-dependent transformations. Our attack, which requires an average of eight minutes on a typical laptop computer, demonstrates that secret transformations do not necessarily protect ciphers against side channel attacks.

Concurrent formation of supermassive stars and globular clusters: implications for early self-enrichment

description: We present a model for the concurrent formation of globular clusters (GCs) and supermassive stars (SMSs, $>10^3\,{\rm M}_\odot$) to address the origin of the HeCNONaMgAl abundance anomalies in GCs. GCs form in converging gas flows and accumulate low-angular momentum gas, which accretes onto protostars. This leads to an adiabatic contraction of the cluster and an increase of the stellar collision rate. A SMS can form via runaway collisions if the cluster reaches sufficiently high density before two-body relaxation halts the contraction. This condition is met if the number of stars $\gtrsim10^6$ and the gas accretion rate $\gtrsim10^5\,{\rm M}_\odot$/Myr, reminiscent of GC formation in high gas-density environments, such as -- but not restricted to -- the early Universe. The strong SMS wind mixes with the inflowing pristine gas, such that the protostars accrete diluted hot-hydrogen burning yields of the SMS. Because of continuous rejuvenation, the amount of processed material liberated by the SMS can be an order of magnitude higher than its maximum mass. This `conveyor-belt' production of hot-hydrogen burning products provides a solution to the mass budget problem that plagues other scenarios. Additionally, the liberated material is mildly enriched in helium and relatively rich in other hot-hydrogen burning products, in agreement with abundances of GCs today. Finally, we find a super-linear scaling between the amount of processed material and cluster mass, providing an explanation for the observed increase of the fraction of processed material with GC mass. We discuss open questions of this new GC enrichment scenario and propose observational tests.

description: Utilizing results on the cosmology of anomalous discrete symmetries we show that models of spontaneous CP violation can in principle avoid the domain wall problem first pointed out by Zel'dovich, Kobzarev and Okun. A small but nonzero $θ_{QCD}$ explicitly breaks CP and can lift the degeneracy of the two CP conjugate vacua through nonperturbative effects so that the domain walls become unstable, but survive to cosmologically interesting epochs. We explore the viability of spontaneous CP violation in the context of two Higgs models, and find that the invisible axion solution of the strong CP problem cannot be implemented without further extensions of the Higgs sector.

Cellular automaton model of reaction-transport processes

Subjects: subject: Cellular Automata and Lattice Gases (nlin.CG)

description: The transport and chemical reactions of solutes are modelled as a cellular automaton in which molecules of different species perform a random walk on a regular lattice and react according to a local probabilistic rule. The model describes advection and diffusion in a simple way, and as no restriction is placed on the number of particles at a lattice site, it is also able to describe a wide variety of chemical reactions. Assuming molecular chaos and a smooth density function, we obtain the standard reaction-transport equations in the continuum limit. Simulations on one- and two-dimensional lattices show that the discrete model can be used to approximate the solutions of the continuum equations. We discuss discrepancies which arise from correlations between molecules and how these disappear as the continuum limit is approached. Of particular interest are simulations displaying long-time behaviour which depends on long-wavelength statistical fluctuations not accounted for by the standard equations. The model is applied to the reactions $a + b \rightleftharpoons c$ and $a + b \rightarrow c$ with homogeneous and inhomogeneous initial conditions as well as to systems subject to autocatalytic reactions and displaying spontaneous formation of spatial concentration patterns.

A Brief Comparison of the Chinese and United States Securities Regulations Governing Corporate Takeovers
Creators: name: Chun, Benjamin
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2019

description: In May 1993, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) officially released, for the first time, securities regulations governing the trading of securities on Chinese securities exchanges. Among other things, the Interim Securities Regulations specified how a company could purchase the publicly-traded shares of another company. Soon thereafter, in September of the same year, Shenzhen Bao An Enterprises (“Bao An”), a Shenzhen legal-person company, attempted the first hostile takeover of a Chinese public company by accumulating a large block of the publicly-traded shares of Shanghai Yanzhong Industrial (“Yanzhong”), a Shanghai-exchange-listed company. In response to the takeover attempt, Yanzhong planned legal action against Bao An because it believed that Bao An had not followed the Interim Securities Regulations in acquiring its block of shares of Yanzhong.

description: Software Guard Extension (SGX) is a hardware-based trusted execution environment (TEE) implemented in recent Intel commodity processors. By isolating the memory of security-critical applications from untrusted software, this mechanism provides users with a strongly shielded environment called enclave for executing programs safely. However, recent studies have demonstrated that SGX enclaves are vulnerable to side-channel attacks. In order to deal with these attacks, several protection techniques have been studied and utilized. In this paper, we explore a new pattern history table (PHT) based side-channel attack against SGX named Bluethunder, which can bypass existing protection techniques and reveal the secret information inside an enclave. Comparing to existing PHT-based attacks (such as Branchscope [ERAG+18]), Bluethunder abuses the 2-level directional predictor in the branch prediction unit, on top of which we develop an exploitation methodology to disclose the input-dependent control flow in an enclave. Since the cost of training the 2-level predictor is pretty low, Bluethunder can achieve a high bandwidth during the attack. We evaluate our attacks on two case studies: extracting the format string information in the vfprintf function in the Intel SGX SDK and attacking the implementation of RSA decryption algorithm in mbed TLS. Both attacks show that Bluethunder can recover fine-grained information inside an enclave with low training overhead, which outperforms the latest PHT-based side channel attack (Branchscope) by 52×. Specifically, in the second attack, Bluethunder can recover the RSA private key with 96.76% accuracy in a single run.

description: The complete and concurrent Homestake and Kamiokande solar neutrino data sets (including backgrounds), when compared to detailed model predictions, provide no unambiguous indication of the solution to the solar neutrino problem. All neutrino-based solutions, including time-varying models, provide reasonable fits to both the 3 year concurrent data and the full 20 year data set. A simple constant B neutrino flux reduction is ruled out at greater than the 4$σ$ level for both data sets. While such a flux reduction provides a marginal fit to the unweighted averages of the concurrent data, it does not provide a good fit to the average of the full 20 year sample. Gallium experiments may not be able to distinguish between the currently allowed neutrino-based possibilities.

Tax Losses and Excessive Risk Taking under Limited Liability: A Case Study of the TEPCO Bailout after the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster
Creators: name: Nagato, Takayuki
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2019

description: It is commonly accepted in the tax law literature that, in theory, business tax losses resulting from risk taking should be fully refundable to taxpayers. Further, when such refunds are unrealistic, tax losses should instead be freely transferable or carried forward without time limitations to achieve tax neutrality on risk taking. The general position taken in the literature assumes that such risk taking is socially desirable. However, that assumption does not always hold. For example, the corporate law literature clearly establishes that the rule of limited liability of shareholders encourages corporations to take excessive risks that might harm social welfare. Accordingly, this study theoretically examines the relationship between tax losses and limited liability. Furthermore, this study conducts a case study to empirically demonstrate what kind of tax problem can happen with respect to excessive risk taking. Specifically, the bailout of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings (TEPCO) after the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear disaster caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, provides an informative case study for a further analysis of this relationship. TEPCO ended up owing over 7.9 trillion yen of compensation liability for the damages caused by its shareholders’ excessive risk taking under limited liability. Although TEPCO’s lack of resources to fully compensate for the damages was easily foreseen, the company did not go into bankruptcy. Instead, the government rescued it without wiping out its existing shareholders. The problem does not end there because the TEPCO bailout created a tax problem. This study questions the appropriateness of allowing TEPCO to deduct its tax losses. This is because TEPCO can circumvent the strict time limitation of the tax loss carryforward period owing to the peculiar legal structure of its bailout scheme. In other words, TEPCO’s existing shareholders, who are assumed to have taken excessive risk can enjoy tax windfall that other corporations’ shareholders cannot. This study considers possible, although imperfect, legislative solutions to the problem.

description: In the present Letter we investigate the heat and momentum fluxes radiated by a hot magneto-optical nanoparticle in its surrounding under the action of an external magnetic field. We show that the flux lines circulate in a confined region at nanometric distance from the particle around the axis of magnetic field in a vortex-like configuration. Moreover we prove that the spatial orientation of these vortices (clockwise or counterclockwise) is associated to the contribution of optical resonances with topological charges m = +1 or m = -1 to the thermal emission. This work paves the way to a geometric description of heat and momentum transport in lattices of magneto-optical particles. Moreover it could have important applications in the field of energy storage as well as in thermal management at nanoscale.
Fragmenting Cybersecurity Norms Through the Language(s) of Subalternity: India in “the East” and the Global Community
Creators: name: Segate, Riccardo Vecellio
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2019

description: The global cybersecurity discourse has never proved more fragmented than in the aftermath of the failure of the last United Nations Group of Governmental Experts on Developments in the Field of Information and Telecommunications in the Context of International Security. This discourse stands trapped in long-lasting and seemingly crystallized normative stances between “the West” and “the East,” yet it also calls upon the international community to regulate a wide spectrum of phenomena, ranging from thefts of digitally-stored trade secrets to large-scale pervasive attacks, which may soon reach the threshold of armed attacks. If one situates the major cybersecurity players on a sliding scale between freedom and control over cyber content and infrastructure, the mainstream stance would place the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Brazil, India, China, and Russia in that order. Nonetheless, this scale is in practice more complex, in part due to the influence of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, a regional security forum which has witnessed major rebalancing after the membership expansion in June 2017. This paper scrutinizes India’s contribution towards a possible fragmentation of the “Eastern” cybersecurity discourse based on hard laws and state assertiveness, and the consequent disruption of the constructivist East-West binary dialectic about cyberwarfare, cyberterrorism, cyber espionage, and online data protection. By simultaneously negotiating its sub-alterity and rejecting its subalternity, India holds the potential to reshape an otherwise almost-coherent “cyber East.”

description: We discuss relationship between inflation and various models of production of density inhomogeneities due to strings, global monopoles, textures and other topological and non-topological defects. Neither of these models leads to a consistent cosmological theory without the help of inflation. However, each of these models can be incorporated into inflationary cosmology. We propose a model of inflationary phase transitions, which, in addition to topological and non-topological defects, may provide adiabatic density perturbations with a sharp maximum between the galaxy scale $l_g$ and the horizon scale $l_H$.

description: We show that the multi-boson KP hierarchies possess a class of discrete symmetries linking them to the discrete Toda systems. These discrete symmetries are generated by the similarity transformation of the corresponding Lax operator. This establishes a canonical nature of the discrete transformations. The spectral equation, which defines both the lattice system and the corresponding Lax operator, plays a key role in determining pertinent symmetry structure. We also introduce a concept of the square-root lattice leading to a family of new pseudo-differential operators with covariance under additional Bäcklund transformations.

A Comprehensive Study of Deep Learning for Side-Channel Analysis
Creators: name: Masure, Loïc
name: Dumas, Cécile
name: Prouff, Emmanuel
Publisher: name: IACR Transactions on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems
Year: 2019

description: Recently, several studies have been published on the application of deep learning to enhance Side-Channel Attacks (SCA). These seminal works have practically validated the soundness of the approach, especially against implementations protected by masking or by jittering. Concurrently, important open issues have emerged. Among them, the relevance of machine (and thereby deep) learning based SCA has been questioned in several papers based on the lack of relation between the accuracy, a typical performance metric used in machine learning, and common SCA metrics like the Guessing entropy or the key-discrimination success rate. Also, the impact of the classical side-channel counter-measures on the efficiency of deep learning has been questioned, in particular by the semi-conductor industry. Both questions enlighten the importance of studying the theoretical soundness of deep learning in the context of side-channel and of developing means to quantify its efficiency, especially with respect to the optimality bounds published so far in the literature for side-channel leakage exploitation. The first main contribution of this paper directly concerns the latter point. It is indeed proved that minimizing the Negative Log Likelihood (NLL for short) loss function during the training of deep neural networks is actually asymptotically equivalent to maximizing the Perceived Information introduced by Renauld et al. at EUROCRYPT 2011 as a lower bound of the Mutual Information between the leakage and the target secret. Hence, such a training can be considered as an efficient and effective estimation of the PI, and thereby of the MI (known to be complex to accurately estimate in the context of secure implementations). As a second direct consequence of our main contribution, it is argued that, in a side-channel exploitation context, choosing the NLL loss function to drive the training is sound from an information theory point of view. As a third contribution, classical counter-measures like Boolean masking or execution flow shuffling, initially dedicated to classical SCA, are proved to stay sound against deep Learning based attacks.

Fear of Longevity: Everyday Struggles in the Pharmaceutical Age of AIDS, Taiwan
Creators: name: Chen, Yi-Tsun
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: Through an ethnographic study of civil society organisations (CSOs) in Taiwan, this research endeavours to explore how Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and biomedical approaches to controlling the epidemic have framed everyday life amongst ganranzhe (HIV infected individuals) and feiganranzhe (HIV uninfected individuals) from tongzhi (Comrades, LGBT populations) communities whose members are labelled as populations at risk. The health regime of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/AIDS in Taiwan, I argue, redistributes state power to local social bodies where the decentralised governance of sexual minorities and social deviants is exercised through compassionate voluntary labour. Moreover, this health regime has escalated and engendered everyday struggles which the affected endure and will continue to confront. In the face of ongoing social and physical suffering amongst vulnerable individuals, living longer is not necessarily the ideal which everyone prioritises in their everyday lives and connections with others. In the early days of AIDS, prior to the availability of triple cocktail therapy in 1997, the diagnosis of disease was an inevitable death sentence. Longevity was desired, but unattainable, by ganranzhe. In contemporary Taiwan, when ganranzhe can access pharmaceuticals which enable a prolonged life with prevention and treatment of HIV-related symptoms, an unexpected fear of longevity has emerged. Living longer, I argue and conclude from stories told by research participants in this study, is not necessarily desirable when the everyday struggles facing ganranzhe are not mitigated, and will continue through that longevity. There is an established scholarly discourse in anthropology and sociology critiquing the impact of global agencies on local responses to HIV/AIDS through their directed provision of funding support. The absence of foreign subsidies to the CSOs in Taiwan society provides a contrasting example of the development and direction of HIV/AIDS programs independent of direct global funding. This thesis argues that the state, even without international monetary aid, has become proficient at drawing on the culture of the tongzhi community to collaborate with CSOs and as a result to productively exercise its power over individuals. CSOs, working with the state, have crafted culturally sensitive programs for AIDS control and prevention which function as less coercive apparatuses to monitor, intervene and govern daily lives amongst the targeted populations. Universal approaches for curtailing the AIDS epidemic are after all not transparent healthcare measures where health amongst individuals of local communities are protected and improved. Global agendas on HIV/AIDS response can generate unforeseen adverse consequences which may burden the already social disadvantaged even further.
Novel transient flow methods for the investigation of chemical reactions
Creators: name: Schrecker, Linden
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Reaction data is important to collect not only for theoretically understanding chemistry better, but also for mass producing chemicals for medicine, agriculture, and society in general. The development of transient flow adds an efficient tool by which reactions can be studied. In this thesis, the first comprehensive review of transient flow has been compiled, a foundational step in the establishment of any field. This review reveals the growth of the field over the past 12 years, although also shed light on areas in which further development is needed. Transient flow methods for collection of time series data are the most ubiquitous techniques, however justification of which method to use to collect such data is scarce. A comparison of different cumulative flow rate step and ramp methods on three reactions demonstrates the ‘reverse push-out’ step method as an accurate method, easy to implement by those inexperienced in flow chemistry. Focus was then placed on developing novel transient flow methods in the investigation of the kinetics of the Knorr pyrazole synthesis. A novel reactant stoichiometry ramp and a related multivariate ramp were developed and utilised in this investigation. A microkinetic model was constructed for the reaction revealing unusual complex kinetic pathways, unlike previously simple proposed pathways. Transient flow methods for the investigation of traditionally discrete reaction parameters were developed to further the efficiency of diverse data collection. The aromatic Claisen rearrangement was investigated to better understand the effect of substituent and solvent on the rate of reaction. Novel methods were developed: a ‘one-pot’ method by which six substituted reactions could be investigated simultaneously; and a solvent ramping method transforming solvents from a discrete reaction parameter into continuous parameters, which could be efficiently assessed. Access to such reaction data allows robust predictive models to be constructed and fundamental chemical insights to be obtained.
Two-Loop Calculations with Vertex Corrections in the Walecka Model

description: Two-loop corrections with scalar and vector form factors are calculated for nuclear matter in the Walecka model. The on-shell form factors are derived from vertex corrections within the framework of the model and are highly damped at large spacelike momenta. The two-loop corrections are evaluated first by using the one-loop parameters and mean fields and then by refitting the total energy/baryon to empirical nuclear matter saturation properties. The modified two-loop corrections are significantly smaller than those computed with bare vertices. Contributions from the anomalous isoscalar form factor of the nucleon are included for the first time. The effects of the implicit density dependence of the form factors, which arise from the shift in the baryon mass, are also considered. Finally, necessary extensions of these calculations are discussed.

Analysis of immune cells and vaccine antibody response in humans after thymectomy
Creators: name: Hayter, Scott
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: Introduction and aim: The immunological effects of thymectomy in adults are largely unknown. Several studies following thymectomised children have concluded that immunological ageing may be precipitated by thymectomy, which has serious long-term implications. We set out to investigate the immunological impact of thymectomy in adults and to determine if immunological ageing is expedited, or vaccine poor responses are influenced by, thymectomy in adults. Methods: We performed a retrospective case-controlled study on 22 subjects including eight thymectomised individuals who had their operation between 1990 and 2012, as well as a pilot case-controlled prospective cohort study of 12 subjects including three thymectomised individuals. Consecutive consenting subjects who underwent thymectomy, parathyroid, thyroid or thoracic surgery at The Canberra Hospital, Australia during 2013-2014 were followed prospectively over 12 months with serial blood tests and a single dose of Hepatitis A and B vaccine at 1-month post operation. Comprehensive T cell subset analysis was performed. Results: We have demonstrated that the removal of the adult thymus results in some alterations in immune profile. The most consistent findings amongst the two studies include a reduced proportion of CD4+CD31- cells undergoing recent proliferation (p<0.05) with a concomitant higher proportion of dividing cells displaying a naive phenotype within the thymectomised group (p<0.05). In contrast to children undergoing thymectomy, we found that proportions of recent thymic emigrant cells remained stable post thymectomy. In relation to immunological ageing post thymectomy, we found increases in the proportion of CD8+ cells (p<0.05) as well as trends towards increased proportions of senescent cells such as CD8+CCR7-CD45RA+CD57+ in the cohort study, yet contrasting results were found in the retrospective study. Significant responses to the Hepatitis A vaccine was seen in three of the eight controls, whereas none of the thymectomised group demonstrated an appreciable response. Discussion: To our knowledge, our study is the world's first case-controlled prospective cohort study investigating the effects of thymectomy in adults. It raises some questions as to the long-held belief that the adult thymus is essentially non-functional and its removal is achieved without immune sequelae. We have demonstrated several changes in T cell subsets as well as some suggestion of reduced responses to vaccines in the thymectomised group compared with controls who underwent a similar operation without thymectomy. Conclusion: The full immunological impact of adult thymectomy remains to be fully elucidated. Our study provides some minor evidence that thymectomy may contribute to alterations in replicating T cell subsets, and possibly reduce vaccine responsiveness. Larger studies are recommended to validate these findings.

description: The mechanism of thermal conductivity in amorphous polymers, especially polymer fibers, is unclear in comparison with that in inorganic materials. Here, we report the observation of across over of heat conduction behavior from three dimensions (3D) to quasi-one dimension (1D) in Polyimide(PI) nanofibers at a given temperature. A theoretical model based on the random walk theory has been proposed to quantitatively describe the interplay between the inter-chain hopping and the intra-chain hopping in nanofibers. This model explains well the diameter dependence of thermal conductivity and also speculates the upper limit of thermal conductivity of amorphous polymers in the quasi-1D limit.

description: Employing non-equilibrium quantum transport models, we investigate the details and operating conditions of nano-structured Peltier coolers embedded with an energy filtering barrier. Our investigations point out non-trivial aspects of Peltier cooling which include an inevitable trade-off between the cooling power and the coefficient of performance, the coefficient of performance being high at a low voltage bias and subsequently deteriorating with increasing voltage bias. We point out that there is an optimum energy barrier height for nanowire Peltier coolers at which the cooling performance is optimized. However, for bulk Peltier coolers, the cooling performance is enhanced with the height of the energy filtering barrier. Exploring further, we point out that a degradation in cooling performance with respect to bulk is inevitable as a single moded nanowire transitions to a multi-moded one. The results discussed here can provide theoretical insights for optimal design of nano Peltier coolers.

The Evolving Legal Mechanism for Medical Malpractice Dispute Resolution in China

description: This Article investigates the evolution of the Chinese legal mechanism for medical malpractice dispute resolution (MMDR) from the establishment of the first rules for MMDR in 1955 to the promulgation of the Regulation on Preventing and Dealing with Medical Malpractice Disputes in 2018. Using historical documents and chronicled sources, it reveals the politicization of adverse events in the 1950s-70s and explores how the unique historical and political context created a different philosophical and practical foundation for the Chinese mechanism for MMDR. In contrast to the common law position that treats medical malpractice as a breach of the duty of care to patients, the Chinese mechanism treated medical malpractice as a breach of duties which a health care professional owed to the health administration system. In comparison with the common law approach that allocates medical malpractice cases to private law, the Chinese approach allocated medical malpractice cases to an administrative-led dispute resolution system. That is why, as this article explains, the Chinese MMDR mechanism focused on disciplinary and regulatory functions rather than the function of redressing damages in the early stages of its development. This early philosophical and practical foundation was altered by the Chinese economic and health system reforms initiated in 1978 and 1985. As the reforms transformed patients into consumers of health services, pecuniary compensation became an unavoidable issue for the MMDR mechanism. The article then tracks changes in the laws and regulations governing medical malpractice disputes during 1987-2018 and takes judicial practice into account when explaining how the MMDR mechanism shifts its legitimacy from one based on health administrative rules to one based on the Chinese civil laws and shifts its function from deterring medical malpractice to compensating for medical injuries. The results of this research shed light on the social dynamics of legal reform, suggesting that the evolution of the Chinese legal mechanism may be understood as a dynamic product of an ongoing interaction between law and society.

Digital Scientific Notations as a Human-Computer Interface in Computer-Aided Research

description: Most of today's scientific research relies on computers and software not only for administrational tasks, but also for processing scientific information. Examples of such computer-aided research are the analysis of experimental data or the simulation of phenomena based on theoretical models. With the rapid increase of computational power, scientific software has integrated more and more complex scientific knowledge in a black-box fashion. As a consequence, its users do not know, and don't even have a chance of finding out, which models or assumptions their computations are based on. The black-box nature of scientific software has thereby become a major cause of mistakes. The present work starts with an analysis of this situation from the point of view of human-computer interaction in scientific research. It identifies the key role of digital scientific notations at the human-computer interface, and describes a proof-of-concept implementation of such a digital scientific notation for scientific models formulated as mathematical equations.
