description: Since 2001, the Insider Threat team at the Software Engineering Institute's CERT program has built an extensive library and comprehensive database containing more than 550 cases of insider crimes. More than 80 of those crimes involved theft of an organization's intellectual property by a malicious insider. These crimes can be particularly damaging to an organization because it is often difficult or impossible to recover from a loss of confidentiality. This report provides an overview of techniques employed by malicious insiders to steal intellectual property, including the types of assets targeted and the methods used to remove the information from a victim organization's control. The report closes with a brief discussion of mitigating factors and strategic items that an organization should consider when defending against insider attacks on intellectual property.

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

description: We present the characterization of a readout Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) for the CMS Endcap Timing Layer (ETL) of the High-Luminosity LHC upgrade with charge injection. The ASIC, named ETROC and developed in a 65 nm CMOS technology, reads out a 16x16 pixel matrix of the Low-Gain Avalanche Detector (LGAD). The jitter contribution from ETROC is required to be below 40 ps to achieve the 50 ps overall time resolution per hit. The analog readout circuits in ETROC consist of the preamplifier and the discriminator. The preamplifier handles the LGAD charge signal with the most probable value of around 15 fC. The discriminator generates the digital pulse, which provides the Time-Of-Arrival (TOA, leading edge) and Time-Over-Threshold (TOT, pulse width) information. The prototype of ETROC (ETROC0) that implements a single channel of analog readout circuits has been evaluated with charge injection. The jitter of the analog readout circuits, measured from the discriminator's leading edge, is better than 16 ps for a charge larger than 15 fC with the sensor capacitance. The time walk resulting from different pulse heights can be corrected using the TOT measurement. The time resolution distribution has a standard deviation of 29 ps after the time-walk correction from the charge injection. At room temperature, the preamplifier's power consumption is measured to be 0.74 mW and 1.53 mW per pixel in the low- and high-power mode, respectively. The measured power consumption of the discriminator is 0.84 mW per pixel. With the ASIC alone or the LGAD sensor, The characterization performances fulfill the ETL's challenging requirements.

Con esa base, la investigación revisa el desarrollo del derecho a la impugnación en Colombia, y concluye que debe reconocerse de manera retroactiva respecto de aquellas primeras condenas que fueron proferidas entre el 4 de julio de 1991 y el 18 de enero de 2018, que no hayan sido sometidas a un mecanismo sencillo y efectivo, que garantice una revisión integral de los aspectos fácticos, probatorios y normativos que sustentaron la decisión de condena.

With this basis, the investigation reviews the development of the right to challenge in Colombia, and concludes that it must be recognized retroactively with respect to those first sentences that were issued between July 4, 1991 and January 18, 2018, which do not have been subjected to a simple and effective mechanism that guarantees a comprehensive review of the factual, evidentiary and regulatory aspects that supported the sentencing decision.
Many-body quantum chaos: Analytic connection to random matrix theory

description: A key goal of quantum chaos is to establish a relationship between widely observed universal spectral fluctuations of clean quantum systems and random matrix theory (RMT). For single particle systems with fully chaotic classical counterparts, the problem has been partly solved by Berry (1985) within the so-called diagonal approximation of semiclassical periodic-orbit sums. Derivation of the full RMT spectral form factor $K(t)$ from semiclassics has been completed only much later in a tour de force by Mueller et al (2004). In recent years, the questions of long-time dynamics at high energies, for which the full many-body energy spectrum becomes relevant, are coming at the forefront even for simple many-body quantum systems, such as locally interacting spin chains. Such systems display two universal types of behaviour which are termed as `many-body localized phase' and `ergodic phase'. In the ergodic phase, the spectral fluctuations are excellently described by RMT, even for very simple interactions and in the absence of any external source of disorder. Here we provide the first theoretical explanation for these observations. We compute $K(t)$ explicitly in the leading two orders in $t$ and show its agreement with RMT for non-integrable, time-reversal invariant many-body systems without classical counterparts, a generic example of which are Ising spin 1/2 models in a periodically kicking transverse field.

description: NGC 1097 is a nearby SBb galaxy with a Seyfert nucleus and a bright starburst ring. We study the physical properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) in the ring using spatially resolved far-infrared spectral maps of the circumnuclear starburst ring of NGC 1097, obtained with the PACS spectrometer on board the Herschel Space Observatory. In particular, we map the important ISM cooling and diagnostic emission lines of [OI] 63 μm, [OIII] 88 μm, [NII] 122 μm, [CII] 158 μm and [NII] 205 μm. We observe that in the [OI] 63 μm, [OIII] 88 μm, and [NII] 122 μm line maps, the emission is enhanced in clumps along the NE part of the ring. We observe evidence of rapid rotation in the circumnuclear ring, with a rotation velocity of ~220 km s-1 (inclination uncorrected) measured in all lines. The [OI] 63 μm/[CII] 158 μm ratio varies smoothly throughout the central region, and is enhanced on the northeastern part of the ring, which may indicate a stronger radiation field. This enhancement coincides with peaks in the [OI] 63 μm and [OIII] 88 μm maps. Variations of the [NII] 122 μm/[NII] 205 μm ratio correspond to a range in the ionized gas density between 150 and 400 cm-3.

description: This report focuses on the results of SEI software process assessments conducted over a four year period beginning in 1987. It characterizes the software processes used by software managers and practitioners at the assessed sites and classifies issues identified during the assessments. The basis for the characterization and classification is a software process maturity model developed by the SEI. This report contributes to the existing body of knowledge on the state of practice of software engineering in the U.S. by characterizing the sites from a software process maturity perspective and profiling site software process weaknesses. The data analyzed is drawn from SEI software process assessments of 59 government and industry software sites. This work is an analysis of existing assessment data rather than a designed study. The participating sites were not randomly selected; accordingly, they do not necessarily constitute a statistically valid sampling of the U.S. software industry.

description: This paper introduces the foliage partition, an easy-to-compute LC-invariant for graph states, of computational complexity $\mathcal{O}(n^3)$ in the number of qubits. Inspired by the foliage of a graph, our invariant has a natural graphical representation in terms of leaves, axils, and twins. It captures both, the connection structure of a graph and the $2$-body marginal properties of the associated graph state. We relate the foliage partition to the size of LC-orbits and use it to bound the number of LC-automorphisms of graphs. We also show the invariance of the foliage partition when generalized to weighted graphs and qudit graph states.

Zero-Range Effective Field Theory for Resonant Wino Dark Matter III. Annihilation Effects

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Near a critical value of the wino mass where there is a zero-energy S-wave resonance at the neutral-wino-pair threshold, low-energy winos can be described by a zero-range effective field theory (ZREFT) in which the winos interact nonperturbatively through a contact interaction and through Coulomb interactions. The effects of wino-pair annihilation into electroweak gauge bosons are taken into account through the analytic continuation of the real parameters for the contact interaction to complex values. The parameters of ZREFT can be determined by matching wino-wino scattering amplitudes calculated by solving the Schrödinger equation for winos interacting through a real potential due to the exchange of electroweak gauge bosons and an imaginary potential due to wino-pair annihilation into electroweak gauge bosons. ZREFT at leading order gives an accurate analytic description of low-energy wino-wino scattering, inclusive wino-pair annihilation, and a wino-pair bound state. ZREFT can also be applied to partial annihilation rates, such as the Sommerfeld enhancement of the annihilation rate of wino pairs into monochromatic photons.

PEVC : Une réponse possible aux « je ne sais pas » dans l’intervention auprès des pères violents
Creators: name: Boulanger, Caroline
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2023

description: Ce mémoire s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche qui porte sur l’intervention auprès des familles qui vivent dans un contexte de violence conjugale, financé par Femmes et Égalité des genres Canada et dirigé par les professeurs Simon Lapierre (Université d’Ottawa) et Isabelle Côté (Université Laurentienne). Ce mémoire explore les retombées de la formation au modèle Protection des enfants en contexte de violence conjugale (PEVC) en ce qui concerne l’intervention auprès des pères violents par les intervenants de la Direction de protection de la jeunesse (DPJ). Pour ce faire, les données recueillies par l’entremise de questionnaires ont été analysées en fonction de trois thèmes principaux, soit le schéma de comportements du parent violent, les mythes reliés à la violence conjugale et les attentes axées sur la responsabilisation. Les résultats démontrent que la formation au modèle PEVC a des effets importants sur le sentiment de compétence et sur les habiletés des intervenants à travailler avec les pères violents. Ils indiquent, d’une part, que les intervenants formés au modèle PEVC incorporent une compréhension de la violence conjugale qui est fondée sur la notion de contrôle coercitif. Ils documentent le schéma de comportements des pères violents et accompagnent leur documentation du schéma de comportements d’exemples concrets. À la suite de la formation, les intervenants formulent des attentes axées sur la responsabilisation en lien avec la problématique de la violence conjugale.

An Alternative to Technology Readiness Levels for Non-Developmental Item (NDI) Software

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: 80309 Software Engineering
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Defense acquisition policies require that program managers conduct technology readiness assessments for all critical technologies. Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) are frequently used in performing these assessments. While there is considerable evidence to support the utility of using TRLs in assessing program risk, there are some difficulties in using TRLs with software. This report explores these problems as they apply to non-developmental item (NDI) software technology and products, including commercial off-the-shelf, government off-the-shelf, and open source software. The problems take four principal forms: 1. TRLs "blur" several aspects of technology and product readiness into a single number. 2. TRLs do not account for the criticality of a product or technology to the system as a whole. 3. TRLs don't account for software technology and product aging. 4. TRLs do not provide any means to deal with how the relative contributions of the various aspects of readiness vary throughout the life cycle of a system. This report examines these issues in detail and proposes an alternative approach for determining product readiness of NDI software technology.

description: The magnetic moment of free fermions in the Earth's gravitational field has been studied on the basis of the general relativity. Adopting the Schwarzschild metric for the background spacetime, the dipole coupling between the magnetic moment and the magnetic field has been found to be dependent of the gravity in the calculation up to the post-Newtonian order $O(1/c^2)$. The gravity-dependence can be formulated by employing the effective value of the magnetic moment as a gravity-dependent quantity $μ_{\rm m}^{\rm eff}= (1+3ϕ/c^2) \,\,μ_{\rm m} $ commonly for the cases of minimal coupling, non-minimal coupling and their mixture. The gravitationally induced anomaly is found to be canceled in the experimental values of the anomalous magnetic moment measured in the Penning trap and storage ring methods.

Assessing the Effects of Monetary Policy Shocks on Metropolitan Housing Markets in Canada: A Local Projection Analysis
Creators: name: Cheng, Li
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: This paper examines the impact of monetary policy shocks on regional housing prices across Canada during the period of March 1999 to February 2020 by employing a two-step approach: the aggregate structural monetary policy shocks are obtained by structural VAR and the effects of monetary policy shocks on regional housing markets are estimated using a local projection analysis. The results suggest that contractionary monetary policy shocks are associated with a decrease in housing prices at the national level, and this is consistent with most of the existing literature. In addition, the results also provide some evidence that the magnitude and timing of responses vary among regional housing markets. Some cities are less responsive compared to the others. However, since the magnitude of response is either small or insignificant, it implies monetary policy shocks are far from being driving forces in the regional housing markets since they can only explain a very small fraction of regional housing volatilities, if any.
Deformation and Stability of Surface States in Dirac semimetals

description: The unusual surface states of topological semimetals have attracted a lot of attention. Recently, we showed [PNAS 113, 8648 (2016)] that for a Dirac semimetal (DSM) arising from band-inversion, such as Na$_3$Bi and Cd$_3$As$_2$, the expected double Fermi arcs on the surface are not topologically protected. Quite generally, the arcs deform into states similar to those on the surface of a strong topological insulator. Here we address two questions related to deformation and stability of surface states in DSMs. First, we discuss why certain perturbations, no matter how large, are unable to destroy the double Fermi arcs. We show that this is related to certain extra (particle-hole) symmetry, which is non-generic in materials. Second, we discuss situations in which the surface states are completely destroyed without breaking any symmetry or impacting the bulk Dirac nodes. We are not aware of any experimental or density functional theory (DFT) candidates for a material which is a bulk DSM without any surface states, but our results clearly show that this is possible.

description: Objective: Little is known whether disease clinical stage would influence the serological values in Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We aimed to explore the association between the levels of serological factors with clinical progression determined by the King’s College staging system. Methods: ALS Patients were registered from May 2008 to December 2016. The differences of serological values between patients and healthy controls, and the correlation of these serological values with disease stage were examined. Results: A total of 571 patients and 571 age-/gender-/BMI-matched healthy controls were included. The levels of creatinine, uric acid (UA), albumin, total protein, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were significantly lower, and the low-density lipoprotein/HDL ratio was higher in ALS patients than those in healthy controls. The levels of UA, albumin, and total protein were significantly reversely correlated with diseases stages. The longitudinal observation of 81 ALS patients also showed that the levels of UA, creatinine, albumin, total protein, and HDL were significantly decreased in the second hematological examinations. Conclusions: In the present study, ALS patients and control subjects were evenly matched with regard to sex, age, and BMI value, this finding could be considered as a metabolite signature in ALS. The changes of metabolite-based serological factors with progression of disease stage might be related to the pathophysiology of disease, and might have clinical utility in clinical practice.

description: As the use of commercial technology and products in systems becomes increasingly popular, particularly for government organizations, program managers need a new understanding of the dynamic principles of system creation. However, there is little information on how the use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products affects existing system development practices or what new processes are needed for the successful use of COTS products. As part of the COTS-Based Systems Initiative at Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute (SEI), we are studying this diversity in the software development process. As part of that work, we have started to articulate some of the activities and practices that are necessary for the effective development and lifetime support of COTS-based systems. This document provides an introduction to those activities and practices.

Theatre as the most effective method for discovering and finding oneself in the modern world. The visible outcomes include increased community engagement, positive changes in the youth, and the evident transformation of students. These impacts align with our commitment to using art, particularly theatre, as a catalyst for positive change in individuals and communities.
An Acquisition Process for the Management of Risks of Cost Overrun and Time Delay Associated with Software Development

description: The ability to quantify risk is essential to the process of budgeting and scheduling. During the process of hiring to complete specified tasks, customers must be able to verify contractor estimates and to make sound judgments on the risks of cost overruns and time delays. The following two questions are central to this paper: Do developers with little experience over-estimate or under-estimate the complexity of the task because of their past experience, the assumptions they make, the models they select, and how they define the model parameters? What are the sources of risk associated with project cost estimation? How can such risk be quantified? To address these questions, this paper proposed a systematic acquisition process that is aimed at assessing and managing the risks of cost overruns and time delays associated with software development. The proposed acquisition process, which is composed of four phases (listed below), is grounded on the following three basic premises: a) Any single-value estimate of cost or completion time is inadequate to capture and represent the variability and uncertainty associated with cost and schedule. Probabilistic quantification is advocated, using, in this paper, the fractile method and triangular distribution. b) The common expected value when used as a measure of risk, is inadequate; further, if used as the sole measure of risk, it may lead to inaccurate results. The conditional expected value of risk of extreme events is adopted to supplement and complement the common unconditional expected value. c) Probing the sources of risks and uncertainties associated with cost overruns and time delays in software development is essential for the ultimate management of technical and nontechnical risks. The Taxonomy-Based Questionnaire developed by the Software Engineering Institute is adopted. These basic premises have led to the development of the following four phases in the proposed acquisition process: Phase I, constructing the probability density functions; Phase II, probing the sources of risks and uncertainties; Phase II, analyzing and regarding the likelihood of technical and non-technical risks; and Phase IV, drawing conclusions on the basis of the accumulated evidence and ultimately selecting the contractors most likely to complete the project without major cost overruns or time delays. The three example problems are presented to demonstrate the construction of the probability density functions in Phase I and to explain in a more general way the effort involved in Phases II through IV.

description: Under an ecological speciation scenario, the radiation of African weakly electric fish (genus Campylomormyrus) is caused by an adaptation to different food sources, associated with diversification of the electric organ discharge (EOD). This study experimentally investigates a phenotype-environment correlation to further support this scenario. Our behavioural experiments showed that three sympatric Campylomormyrus species with significantly divergent snout morphology differentially react to variation in substrate structure. While the short snout species (C. tamandua) exhibits preference to sandy substrate, the long snout species (C. rhynchophorus) significantly prefers a stone substrate for feeding. A third species with intermediate snout size (C. compressirostris) does not exhibit any substrate preference. This preference is matched with the observation that long-snouted specimens probe deeper into the stone substrate, presumably enabling them to reach prey more distant to the substrate surface. These findings suggest that the diverse feeding apparatus in the genus Campylomormyrus may have evolved in adaptation to specific microhabitats, i.e., substrate structures where these fish forage. Whether the parallel divergence in EOD is functionally related to this adaptation or solely serves as a prezygotic isolation mechanism remains to be elucidated.

description: In order to improve the presently used ad hoc flux limiter treatment of parallel heat flux transport in edge plasma fluid codes we consider here a generalized version of the Fourier law implementing a non-local kernel for the heat flux computation. The Bohm boundary condition at the wall is recovered introducing a volumetric loss term representing the contribution of suprathermal particles to the energy out flux. As expected, this contribution is negligible in the strongly collisional regime while it becomes more and more dominant for marginally and low collisional regimes. In the second part of the paper, we consider a kinetic approach where collisions are considered using the Multi-Particle-Collision (MPC) algorithm. Kinetic simulation results at medium and low collisionality are also reported.

description: We present a detailed analysis of the construction of $z=2$ and $z\neq2$ scale invariant Hořava-Lifshitz gravity. The construction procedure is based on the realization of Hořava-Lifshitz gravity as the dynamical Newton-Cartan geometry as well as a non-relativistic tensor calculus in the presence of the scale symmetry. An important consequence of this method is that it provides us the necessary mechanism to distinguish the local scale invariance from the local Schrödinger invariance. Based on this result we discuss the $z=2$ scale invariant Hořava-Lifshitz gravity and the symmetry enhancement to the full Schrödinger group.

An Acquisition Perspective on Product Evaluation

description: This technical note focuses on software acquisition and development practices related to the evaluation of products before, during, and after implementation. From engagements with numerous DoD acquisition programs, it has been observed that a number of recurring issues reduce the effectiveness of how software-reliant products are evaluated. An acquisition effort consists of identifying the customer's needs, selecting or developing a product that is responsive to those needs, and then evaluating the product to determine if it properly addresses the identified needs. This technical note describes the Product Evaluation (verification, validation, and certification) process including test, reviews, and formal methods. It also makes the argument that Product Evaluation should not be deferred until after a product has been built, but should begin as soon as the customer's needs have been identified and should continue throughout the acquisition effort.

description: In 2002, it was conjectured that a free divisor satisfying the so-called Logarithmic Comparison Theorem must be strongly Euler-homogeneous and it was proved for the two-dimensional case. Later, in 2006, it was shown that the conjecture is also true in dimension three, but, today, the answer for the general case remains unknown. In this paper, we use the decomposition of a singular derivation as the sum of a semisimple and a topologically nilpotent derivation that commute in order to deal with this problem. By showing that this decomposition preserves the property of being logarithmic, we are able to give alternative proofs for the low-dimensional known cases.

description: One of the simplest extensions of the Standard Model (SM) comprises the inclusion of a massive real scalar field, neutral under the SM gauge groups, to be a dark matter candidate. The addition of a dimension-six term into the potential of the scalar dark matter enables the appearance of a false vacuum that describes the cosmic acceleration. We show that the running of the singlet self-interaction and the Higgs portal coupling differs from the standard scalar singlet dark matter model. If we maintain a positive quartic coupling, it is also possible to describe the accelerated expansion of the Universe through a false vacuum with the addition of a dimension-eight interaction term. In this case, where the potential remains bounded from below at low energies, the false vacuum decay is highly suppressed.

incentives to publish

description: In February 2015, the editors of eight health economics journals sent out an editorial statement which aims to reduce the extent of specification searching and reminds referees to accept studies that: “have potential scientific and publication merit regardless of whether such studies' empirical findings do or do not reject null hypotheses". Guided by a pre-analysis, we test whether the editorial statement decreased the extent of publication bias. Our differences-in-differences estimates suggest that the statement decreased the proportion of tests rejecting the null hypothesis by 18 percentage points. Our findings suggest that incentives may be aligned to promote more transparent research.
