Contemplating a Cyber Weapons Convention: An Exploration of Good Practice and Necessary Preconditions

open access: yesBaltic Journal of Law & Politics, 2020
Despite being a crucially important domain for states, businesses, and individuals, cyberspace still suffers from a regulation deficit. This article takes up one such dangerously underregulated area: cyber warfare and regulation of cyber weapons.

Mach-Zehnder fiber interferometer test of the anisotropy of the speed of light [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Two optical fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometers were constructed in an environment with a temperature stabilization of better than 1 mK per day. One interferometer with a length of 12 m optical fiber in each arm with the main direction of the arms perpendicular to each other.

Modeling the Neuromuscular Control System of an Octopus Arm [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
The octopus arm is a neuromechanical system that involves a complex interplay between peripheral nervous system (PNS) and arm musculature. This makes the arm capable of carrying out rich maneuvers. In this paper, we build a model for the PNS and integrate it with a muscular soft octopus arm.

Fault Lines between East and West: Which Levers Can Rebuild Confidence?

open access: yesJournal for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament, 2020
Several regional fault lines will define the character of relations between East and West in the coming years. It is already evident that notably in the Baltic region, both NATO and Russia have squandered a great deal of confidence, which will have to be

The performance of arm locking in LISA [PDF]

open access: yesPhys.Rev.D80:102003,2009, 2009
For the laser interferometer space antenna (LISA) to reach it's design sensitivity, the coupling of the free running laser frequency noise to the signal readout must be reduced by more than 14 orders of magnitude. One technique employed to reduce the laser frequency noise will be arm locking, where the laser frequency is locked to the LISA arm length ...

Personalized Assignment to One of Many Treatment Arms via Regularized and Clustered Joint Assignment Forests [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
We consider learning personalized assignments to one of many treatment arms from a randomized controlled trial. Standard methods that estimate heterogeneous treatment effects separately for each arm may perform poorly in this case due to excess variance.

On the Whittle Index for Restless Multi-armed Hidden Markov Bandits [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
We consider a restless multi-armed bandit in which each arm can be in one of two states. When an arm is sampled, the state of the arm is not available to the sampler. Instead, a binary signal with a known randomness that depends on the state of the arm is available. No signal is available if the arm is not sampled.
