Breaking Blockchain Rationality with Out-of-Band Collusion

Bryan Alexander Ford, Verónica del Carmen Estrada Galiñanes, Louis-Henri Manuel Jakob Merino, Haoqian Zhang, Mahsa Bastankhah

Blockchain systems often rely on rationality assumptions for their security, expecting that nodes are motivated to maximize their profits. These systems thus design their protocols to incentivize nodes to execute the honest protocol but fail to consider ou ...

Lifetime of dielectric elastomer actuators under DC electric fields

Fabio Beco Albuquerque

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are interesting soft actuators compared to other actuation technologies owing to large achievable actuation strains, high energy density and fast actuation. However, because DEAs need to be operated under high electric ...

Optimizing the Atomic Layer Deposition of Alumina on Perovskite Nanocrystal Films by Using O-2 As a Molecular Probe

Raffaella Buonsanti, Anna Loiudice, Seryio Saris, Sanduni Thiyaga Pathiraja Mudalige Dona, Valerie Anne Niemann

Encapsulation methods have shown to be effective in imparting improved stability to metal-halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs). Atomic layer deposition (ALD) of metal oxides is one of the promising approaches for such encapsulation, yet better control on t ...

Deep traps in InGaN/GaN single quantum well structures grown with and without InGaN underlayers

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Mauro Mosca, Camille Haller

The electrical properties and deep trap spectra were compared for near-UV GaN/InGaN quantum well (QW) structures grown on free-standing GaN substrates. The structures differed by the presence or absence of a thin (110 nm) InGaN layer inserted between the h ...

Annealing and Replica-Symmetry in Deep Boltzmann Machines

Emanuele Mingione, Diego Alberici

In this paper we study the properties of the quenched pressure of a multi-layer spin-glass model (a deep Boltzmann Machine in artificial intelligence jargon) whose pairwise interactions are allowed between spins lying in adjacent layers and not inside the ...

Entropy and mutual information in models of deep neural networks

Nicolas Macris, Clément Dominique Luneau, Florent Gérard Krzakala, Lenka Zdeborová, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier

We examine a class of stochastic deep learning models with a tractable method to compute information-theoretic quantities. Our contributions are three-fold: (i) we show how entropies and mutual informations can be derived from heuristic statistical physics ...

Stretchable and Highly Bendable Thin Film Transistors Based on Atomically Thin Chemical Vapor Deposited Molybdenum Disulfide

Yen-Cheng Kung

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have received tremendous research attention recently, as they possess peculiar physical properties in their monolayer and few-layer forms, which further lead to novel applications. A wide range of 2D materials covers insulato ...

An ADMM-Based Coordination and Control Strategy for PV and Storage to Dispatch Stochastic Prosumers: Theory and Experimental Validation

Mario Paolone, Colin Neil Jones, Fabrizio Sossan, Rahul Kumar Gupta, Emil Namor, Enrica Scolari, Luca Fabietti

This paper describes a two-layer control and coordination framework for distributed energy resources. The lower layer is a real-time model predictive control (MPC) executed at 10 s resolution to achieve fine tuning of a given energy setpoint. The upper lay ...

Privacy failure in the public-key distance-bounding protocols

Serge Vaudenay

Public-key distance bounding protocols are well suited to defeat relay attacks in proximity access control systems when the author assume no prior shared key. At AsiaCCS 2014, Gambs, Onete, and Robert designed such a protocol with privacy protection for th ...

Directional Real-Time Optimization Applied to a Kite-Control Simulation Benchmark

Dominique Bonvin, Grégory François, Sean Costello

This paper applies a novel two-layer optimizing control scheme to a kite-control benchmark problem. The upper layer is a recent real-time optimization algorithm, called Directional Modifier Adaptation, which represents a variation of the popular Modifier A ...

Device design and materials optimization of conformal coating for islets of Langerhans

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Alice Anna Tomei

Encapsulation of islets of Langerhans may represent a way to transplant islets in the absence of immunosuppression. Traditional methods for encapsulation lead to diffusional limitations imposed by the size of the capsules (600-1,000 m in diameter), which r ...

Joint Source and Transmission Rate Modeling in Adaptive Video Streaming

Pascal Frossard, Lorenzo Rossi

This work addresses the modeling of traffic generated by a video source operating in the context of adaptive streaming services. Traffic modeling is a key in several network design issues, such as dimensioning of core and access network resources, developi ...

Transport properties of nonhomogeneous segregated composites

Peter Ryser, Claudio Grimaldi, Thomas Maeder, Gianluca Ambrosetti, Biagio Nigro

In conductor-insulator composites in which the conducting particles are dispersed in an insulating continuous matrix the electrical connectedness is established by interparticle quantum tunneling. A recent formulation of the transport problem in these kind ...

Robustness to failures in two-layer communication networks

Maciej Kurant

A close look at many existing systems reveals their two- or multi-layer nature, where a number of coexisting networks interact and depend on each other. For instance, in the Internet, any application-level graph (such as a peer-to-peer network) is mapped o ...
