Du lin sauvage au lin cultivé
No full textNational audienceLe lin actuellement cultivé correspond à l'espèce domestique (Linum usitatissimum L.) qui dérive de l'exploitation de l'ancêtre sauvage, le lin bisannuel ou lin à feuilles étroites (Linum bienne Mill.). L'adaptabilité du lin sauvage à différentes conditions environnementales permet d'expliquer sa large répartition géographique, du Caucase au Nord de l'Afrique et de la Méditerranée à l'Europe occidental
Measurements of K S 0 - K L 0 asymmetries in the decays Λ c + → p K L , S 0 , p K L , S 0 π + π − and p K L , S 0 π 0
No full textAbstract Using e + e − annihilation data sets corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.5 fb −1, collected with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.600 and 4.699 GeV, we report the first measurements of the absolute branching fractions B Λ c + → p K L 0 = (1.67 ± 0.06 ± 0.04)%, B Λ c + → p K L 0 π + π − = (1.69 ± 0.10 ± 0.05)%, and B Λ c + → p K L 0 π 0 = (2.02 ± 0.13 ± 0.05)%, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. Combining with the known branching fractions of Λ c + → p K S 0 , Λ c + → p K S 0 π + π − , and Λ c + → p K S 0 π 0 , we present the first measurements of the K S 0 - K L 0 asymmetries R Λ c + K S , L 0 X = B Λ c + → K S 0 X − B Λ c + → K L 0 X B Λ c + → K S 0 X + B Λ c + → K L 0 X in charmed baryon decays: R Λ c + p K S , L 0 = − 0.025 ± 0.031 , R Λ c + p K S , L 0 π + π − = − 0.027 ± 0.048 and R Λ c + p K S , L 0 π 0 = − 0.015 ± 0.046 . No significant asymmetries with statistical significance are observed

Compact Adaptively Secure ABE from k-Lin: Beyond NC1 and towards NL
No full textWe present a new general framework for constructing compact and adaptively secure attribute-based encryption (ABE) schemes from -Lin in asymmetric bilinear pairing groups. Previously, the only construction [Kowalczyk and Wee, Eurocrypt \u2719] that simultaneously achieves compactness and adaptive security from static assumptions supports policies represented by Boolean formulae. Our framework enables supporting more expressive policies represented by arithmetic branching programs.
Our framework extends to ABE for policies represented by uniform models of computation such as Turing machines. Such policies enjoy the feature of being applicable to attributes of arbitrary lengths. We obtain the first compact adaptively secure ABE for deterministic and non-deterministic finite automata (DFA and NFA) from -Lin, previously unknown from any static assumptions. Beyond finite automata, we obtain the first ABE for large classes of uniform computation, captured by deterministic and non-deterministic logspace Turing machines (the complexity classes and ) based on -Lin. Our ABE scheme has compact secret keys of size linear in the description size of the Turing machine . The ciphertext size grows linearly in the input length, but also linearly in the time complexity, and exponentially in the space complexity. Irrespective of compactness, we stress that our scheme is the first that supports large classes of Turing machines based solely on standard assumptions. In comparison, previous ABE for general Turing machines all rely on strong primitives related to indistinguishability obfuscation
High-k/InGaAs interface defects at cryogenic temperature
No full textOxide defects in the high-k/InGaAs MOS system are investigated. The behaviour of these traps is explored from room temperature down to 10 K. This study reveals that the exchange of free carriers between oxide states and either the conduction or the valence band is strongly temperature dependant. The capture and emission of electrons is strongly suppressed at 10 K as demonstrated by the collapse of the capacitance frequency dispersion in accumulation for n-InGaAs MOS devices, though hysteresis in the C-V sweeps is still present at 10 K. Phonon assisted tunnelling processes are considered in the simulation of electrical characteristics. The simulated data match very well the experimental characteristics and provide energy and spatial mapping of oxide defects. The multi phonon theory also help explain the impedance data temperature dependence. This study also reveals an asymmetry in the free carrier trapping between n and p type devices, where hole trapping is more significant at 10 K
Constructing vertex-disjoint paths in (n,k)-star graphs
No full text[[abstract]]This work describes a novel routing algorithm for constructing a container of width n - 1 between a pair of vertices in an (n, k)-star graph with connectivity it - 1. Since Lin et al. [T.C. Lin, D.R. Duh, H.C. Cheng, Wide diameter of (n, k)-star networks, in: Proceedings of the International Conference on Computing, Communications and Control Technologies, vol. 5, 2004 pp. 160-165] already calculated the wide diameters in (n, n - 1)-star and (n, 1)-star graphs, this study only considers an (n, k)-star with 2 <= k <= n - 2. The length of the longest container among all constructed containers serves as the upper bound of the wide diameter of an (n, k)-star graph. The lower bound of the wide diameter of an (n, k)-star graph with 2 <= k <= [n/2] and the lower bound of the wide diameter of a regular graph with a connectivity of 2 or above are also computed. Measurement results indicate that the wide diameter of an (n, k)-star graph is its diameter plus 2 for 2 <= k <= [n/2], or its diameter plus a value between 1 and 2 for [n/2] + 1 <= k <= n - 2.

Sample Efficient Search to Decision for LIN
No full textThe LIN problem concerns solving noisy systems of random sparse linear equations mod 2. It gives rise to natural candidate hard CSP distributions and is a cornerstone of local cryptography. Recently, it was used in advanced cryptographic constructions, under the name \u27sparse LPN\u27.
For constant sparsity and inverse polynomial noise rate, both search and decision versions of LIN are statistically possible and conjectured to be computationally hard for , where is the number of -sparse linear equations, and is the number of variables.
We show an algorithm that given access to a distinguisher for
LIN with samples, solves search LIN with roughly samples. Previously, it was only known how to reduce from search LIN with samples, yielding meaningful guarantees for decision LIN only when .
The reduction succeeds even if the distinguisher has sub-constant advantage at a small additive cost in sample complexity. Our technique applies with some restrictions to Goldreich\u27s function and LIN with random coefficients over other finite fields
Spatial Chow-Lin Methods for Data Completion in Econometric Flow Models
No full textFlow data across regions can be modeled by spatial econometric models, see LeSage and Pace (2009). Recently, regional studies became interested in the aggregation and disaggregation of flow models, because trade data cannot be obtained at a disaggregated level but data are published on an aggregate level. Furthermore, missing data in disaggregated flow models occur quite often since detailed measurements are often not possible at all observation points in time and space. In this paper we develop classical and Bayesian methods to complete flow data. The Chow and Lin (1971) method was developed for completing disaggregated incomplete time series data. We will extend this method in a general framework to spatially correlated flow data using the cross-sectional Chow-Lin method of Polasek et al. (2009). The missing disaggregated data can be obtained either by feasible GLS prediction or by a Bayesian (posterior) predictive density.Missing values in spatial econometrics, MCMC, non-spatial Chow-Lin (CL) and spatial Chow-Lin (SCL) methods, spatial internal flow (SIF) models, origin and destination (OD) data
