Towards Transparency in Finance and Governance [PDF]
The study of transparency is increasingly a more topical, broadly relevant, but also more under-researched enterprise. The Asian financial crisis has highlighted not only the welfare consequences of financial sector transparency, sparking a series of yet

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Digitalizing electroplating requires both domain knowledge and interoperability. This work introduces PlatOn, a domain ontology for trivalent chromium plating and coating characterization, and a hybrid pipeline that aligns it to a mid‐level reference ontology by combining eight similarity metrics with language model reasoning. Expert‐validated mappings

Data Obfuscation for Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning Using Quantum Symmetry Properties
Big Data and Cognitive ComputingThis study introduces a data obfuscation technique that leverages the exponential map of Lie-group generators. Originating from quantum machine learning frameworks, the method injects controlled noise into these generators, deliberately breaking symmetry

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Deep‐UV (258 nm) femtosecond pulses enable uniform amorphous silicon writing on Si(100)/(111) with a six‐fold larger fluence amorphization window than NIR methods. Optimized fluence and overlap yield 20–45 nm uniform and continuous amorphous layers. Microscopy shows sharp interfaces, and real‐time reflectivity reveals nanosecond melt–resolidification ...
