The ‘chain of favors’ that keeps Cubans afloat in the face of state abandonment
Tired of waiting for a government that has turned its back on them, millions of people suffering from hunger, homelessness and a lack of medicine in Cuba are relying on solidarity to survive

ASPO: Constraint-Aware Bayesian Optimization for FPGA-based Soft Processors
Bayesian Optimization (BO) has shown promise in tuning processor design parameters. However, standard BO does not support constraints involving categorical parameters such as types of branch predictors and division circuits. In addition, optimization time of BO grows with processor complexity, which becomes increasingly significant especially for FPGA-based soft processors. This paper introduces ASPO, an approach that leverages disjunctive form to enable BO to handle constraints involving categ…

Stark Tuning and Charge State Control in Individual Telecom C-Band Quantum Dots
Telecom-wavelength quantum dots (QDs) are emerging as a promising solution for generating deterministic single-photons compatible with existing fiber-optic infrastructure. Emission in the low-loss C-band minimizes transmission losses, making them ideal for long-distance quantum communication. In this work, we present the first demonstration of both Stark tuning and charge state control of individual InAs/InP QDs operating within the telecom C-band. These QDs are grown by droplet epitaxy and emb…

A Comprehensive Analysis of COVID-19 Detection Using Bangladeshi Data and Explainable AI
COVID-19 is a rapidly spreading and highly infectious virus which has triggered a global pandemic, profoundly affecting millions across the world. The pandemic has introduced unprecedented challenges in public health, economic stability, and societal structures, necessitating the implementation of extensive and multifaceted health interventions globally. It had a tremendous impact on Bangladesh by April 2024, with around 29,495 fatalities and more than 2 million confirmed cases. This study focu…

Conventional and Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis with deaR
deaR is a recently developed R package for data envelopment analysis (DEA) that implements a large number of conventional and fuzzy models, along with super-efficiency models, cross-efficiency analysis, Malmquist index, bootstrapping, and metafrontier analysis. It should be noted that deaR is the only package to date that incorporates Kao-Liu, Guo-Tanaka and possibilistic fuzzy models. The versatility of the package allows the user to work with different returns to scale and orientations, as we…

Dynamic Fee for Reducing Impermanent Loss in Decentralized Exchanges
Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are crucial to decentralized finance (DeFi) as they enable trading without intermediaries. However, they face challenges like impermanent loss (IL), where liquidity providers (LPs) see their assets' value change unfavorably within a liquidity pool compared to outside it. To tackle these issues, we propose dynamic fee mechanisms over traditional fixed-fee structures used in automated market makers (AMM). Our solution includes asymmetric fees via block-adaptive, dea…
