A principles-led approach to information assurance and governance in local government by Brett, Mark

“…This practice-based paper explores a principles-led approach to cyber information governance for local authorities (LAs) in England and Wales, while linking it to a corporate information governance regime to support cyber security and resilience. Over the past 15 years the author has worked with several LA regional cyber security groups known as WARPs (Warning, Advice and Reporting Points). …”

FedCBO: reaching group consensus in clustered Federated learning through Consensus-Based Optimization by Carrillo, JA, Trillos, NG, Li, S, Zhu, Y

“…Our model is motivated by rigorous mathematical reasoning, including a mean field analysis describing the large number of particles limit of our particle system, as well as convergence guarantees for the simultaneous global optimization of general non-convex objective functions (corresponding to the loss functions of each cluster of users) in the mean-field regime. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of our FedCBO algorithm compared to other state-of-the-art methods and help validate our methodological and theoretical work.…”

Criteria for Crack Formation and Air Invasion in Drying Colloidal Suspensions by Lilin, Paul, Bischofberger, Irmgard

“…We show that the pressure inside the deposit controls both the onset of crack formation and the onset of air invasion. Two distinct regimes of air invasion occur, which we can account for using the same model that further provides a quantitative criterion for the crossover between the two regimes.…”

Predictors of weight loss in overweight Singaporean males in the Singapore Adult Metabolism Study (SAMS). by Tay, Yu Juan.

“…The intervention comprised of diet modification through meal replacements, group and individual nutritional education and counselling sessions, as well as prescribed and supervised exercise regime. After intervention, there was a significant reduction in mean body weight (-7.95 ± 3.45 kg), Skinfold fat composition (-3.24 ± 3.357 %) and DEXA fat composition (-2.93 ± 2.93 %). …”

The radial spreading of volcanic umbrella clouds deduced from satellite measurements by Prata, F, Prata, A, Tanner, R, Grainger, RG, Borgas, M, Aubry, TJ

“…At the onset of neutral buoyancy, the radial spreading is better explained by a stronger dependence on time of A ⇠ C, rather than C 2/3, C 3/4 or C 2/9. This flow regime exists on the order of minutes and has not been observed previously in satellite data. …”

Electricity sector deregulation and consumer protection: assessing the imperatives of a competition: Assessing the imperatives of a competition law and competition regulatory autho... by Usman, Dahiru Jafaru, Yaacob, Nurli, A. Rahman, Aspalella

“…Literature abounds on the high risk of the electricity sector deregulation and the susceptibility of the deregulated electricity markets to manipulations and abuse by the electricity service providers.For better and fair market operations and the protection of consumers’ interest, the paper adopts the doctrinal research approach and assesses the imperatives of competition law and competition structures in the deregulated Nigerian electricity market.The paper found that the Nigerian experiment took off without the necessary consumer protection structures such as a competition law and competition regulatory agency leaving the electricity consumers at the mercy of the electricity service providers.The paper concludes that the country urgently needs a comprehensive competition regime to guarantee consumer benefits and to prevent substituting public monopoly with a private monopoly in the new Nigerian electricity market.…”
