Numerical methods for finite-size key rates with different entropic bounds in quantum key distribution by Chung, Rebecca Ru Byn

“…We then showed that the Renyi entropy indeed gives a tighter bound on the low-signal regime (N~10^5), and outperforms the bound using the von Neumann entropy in regimes of long channel distances and low signal number, thus paving the way for a better understanding of long-distance satellite-based QKD protocols in the presence of finite resources.…”

Nonequilibrium hyperuniform fluids by Lei, Yusheng

“…Moreover, we find that the discontinuous freezing transition of the metastable hyperuniform fluid into an absorbing state does not have the kinetic pathway of nucleation and growth, and the transition is triggered by long-wavelength fluctuations. …”

Initial public offering : voluntary disclosure and its effect on United States IPOs. by Koh, Wee Meng., Lim, Junrong., Ong, Peng Kiat.

“…There is no conclusive evidence to show any significant relationship between the voluntary disclosure of the use of proceeds and accounting performance except that firms that specify higher R&D expenditure in dollar details have better Return on Assets (ROA). We also find that firms that disclose higher dollar details in debt repayment will result in better post-IPO long run stock performance. …”

Thermo-catalytic decomposition of cotton seed press cake over nickel doped zeolite Y, hydrogen: enhanced yield of bio-oil with highly selective fuel-range hydrocarbons by Afraz, Marrij, Nisar, Jan, Shah, Afzal, Ali, Ghulam, Muhammad, Faisal, Anwar, Farooq, Wan Abdul Karim Ghani, Wan Azlina

“…Moreover, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of cotton seed press cake with catalyst was carried out at various heating rates to find out the kinetic parameters. Employing Kissinger model, activation energy (Ea) and frequency factor (A) for various components of biomass i.e., hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin were calculated as 83.14 kJ mol−1, 99.76 kJ mol−1, 124.71 kJ mol−1 and 1.9 × 107 min−1, 1.0 × 108 min−1, 1.0 × 1010 min−1, respectively. …”
