Limit theorems for a class of unbounded observables with an application to ‘Sampling the Lindelöf hypothesis’ See

We prove the central limit theorem (CLT), the first-order Edgeworth expansion and a mixing local central limit theorem (MLCLT) for Birkhoff sums of a class of unbounded heavily oscillating observables over a family of full-branch piecewise C^2 expanding maps of the interval. As a&#...

Transparency and accountability in government payment systems: Financial transfers in the social security office of Thailand See

Despite the growing adoption of cash and digital money for government payments, implementing digital payment systems can face acceptance issues such as transparency shortcomings, service delays and accessibility problems that undermine public trust in government payment systems. Across th...

Improving resilience in chemical plant under cyberattack by adversarial reinforcement learning See

With chemical plant contributing $5.4 trillion to the global economy annually, frequently representing a Major Accident Hazard, and their control systems having an average age of 20 years, the prospect of a cyberattack resulting in full or partial breach by threat actors is&...

Understanding the delays in diagnosis of breast cancer in India using blogs and YouTube videos See

Background: Globally, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Breast cancer-related mortality has surged among Indian women, as a significant number of women present at an advanced stage of breast cancer. ...

Estimating vertical land motion-adjusted sea level rise in a data-sparse and vulnerable coastal region See

Sea level rise (SLR), driven by global warming, threatens coastal Bangladesh through inundation, land loss, and displacement. However, SLR estimates are often inconsistent or overestimated due to limited data and inadequate correction for vertical land motion (VLM). This study presents an in...

Conceptualising personalised pricing under article 102 TFEU See

The rapid development of algorithms and big data has revolutionized the digital economy, introducing novel challenges for European Union (EU) competition law. Personalised pricing, an advanced technique of price discrimination enabled by extensive data collection and advanced algorithms, allows undert...

Examining critical spaces within the Hong Kong Chinese history curriculum framework See

This thesis examines how the State’s hegemonic power shapes education and constructs Chinese national identity in the subject ‘Chinese History’ that is taught in Hong Kong secondary schools, particularly after the 2019 Anti-Extradition Law movement. The research aims to understand how the&#x...

Privacy-Preserving Bidirectional Data Transmission of Smart Grid via Semi-Quantum Computation: On Mutual Identity and Message Authentication See

This paper is concerned with the privacy-preserving bidirectional electric power data transmission problem of the smart grid. A privacy-preserving bidirectional data transmission (BDT) protocol is developed over semi-quantum computation with aim to achieve bidirectional sensitive data flow between power&#x...
