TL;DR: This work considers the location-scale family of distributions, which contains many standard lifetime distributions, and gives conditions under which the largest order statistic of a set of random variables with different/the same location as well as different/ the same scale parameters dominates that of another set ofrandom variables with respect to various stochastic orders.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the lacunae of the reductionist engineering paradigm, and stress the need for a holistic framework in ecological engineering and for hydro-diplomacy in the basin.
Abstract: The worldwide paradigm shift in river basin management has not affected policymakers in south Asia. Hydro-diplomacy in the Ganges-BrahmaputraMeghna basin is still based on reductionist engineering, and looks at marginal economic benefits, without showing any concern for the long-run implications for livelihoods and ecosystem. The governments in the river basin are already facing the challenge of extreme poverty, despite the countries experiencing high levels of precipitation. This paper discusses the lacunae of the reductionist engineering paradigm, and stresses the need for a holistic framework in ecological engineering and for hydro-diplomacy in the basin. This framework is based on a new transdisciplinary knowledge base created by the emerging science of eco-hydrology, economics, and new institutional theories. T he Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) river basin in south Asia (Figure 1, p 51) poses several complex challenges to the existing notions of development and hydrodiplomacy. Spread over the south Asian nations of Bangladesh, Bhutan, I ndia, Nepal, and vast areas in the Tibet region of China, the GBM basin (17,45,400 sq km) is the second largest hydrological system in the world after the Amazon. The rivers in the basin collect w ater emerging from both the northern and southern aspects of the Himalaya. The total run-off of the basin gets discharged through numerous channels that drain into the Bay of Bengal and spread roughly between the two mega-cities of Dhaka in Bangladesh and Kolkata in eastern India. The annual run-off of the basin is about 1,150 billion cubic meters (BCM) and the peak outflow is 1,41,000 cumecs at the estuary. The two major rivers of the hydrological system are the Ganges and the Brahmaputra. These two rivers and their tributaries flow beyond national boundaries and are prone to disputes that are a common feature of international transboundary water-courses around the world. The Ganges originates in the gaumukh (mouth of a cow) glacier in the southern aspect of the Himalaya in the Indian state of Uttarakhand and flows south-eastwards towards Bangladesh. Before crossing over from India to Bangladesh, the Ganges

TL;DR: Analyzing qualitative data gathered from interviews with 33 respondents in India, it is found that ICT-enabled product and process innovations do have the potential to reduce four types of separations that ‘disconnect’ BOP consumers (producers) from marketers (customers).
Abstract: Innovations in products and processes enabled by ICT such as mobile phones and the Internet constitute a rapidly emerging means of market development at the Bottom of the Pyramid (BOP), which consists of people who earn less than US$2 a day. However, these ICT-enabled market development efforts have not always yielded positive developmental outcomes, in part because market development is hindered by remote location and geographic dispersion of BOP communities, their low and uncertain incomes, and informal local markets having exploitative intermediaries. These conditions imply that BOP consumers and producers are ‘separated’ from marketers and customers, respectively, through physical distance, lack of financial ability, and information asymmetry. The paper examines the question: How do ICT innovations in products and processes impact development at the BOP? Drawing perspectives from the information systems (IS) and marketing literatures, we analyze how and why ICT-enabled innovations in products and processes deployed for market development at the BOP, enable developmental outcomes through reduction of market separations. Analyzing qualitative data gathered from interviews with 33 respondents in India, including BOP individuals, social entrepreneurs, and managers from private organizations, we find that ICT-enabled product and process innovations do have the potential to reduce four types of separations that ‘disconnect’ BOP consumers (producers) from marketers (customers). However, situated social conditions influence the impact of ICT innovations on reduction of separations. The reduction of separations leads to developmental outcomes at the BOP. Implications of our findings for theory, practice, and policy are discussed.

TL;DR: For the first time, a quantum secret sharing scheme which is resistant to rational parties is proposed, which is fair, correct and achieves strict Nash equilibrium.
Abstract: A rational secret sharing scheme is a game in which each party responsible for reconstructing a secret tries to maximize his or her utility by obtaining the secret alone. Quantum secret sharing schemes, derived either from quantum teleportation or from quantum error correcting code, do not succeed when we assume rational participants. This is because all existing quantum secret sharing schemes consider that the secret is reconstructed by a party chosen by the dealer. In this paper, for the first time, we propose a quantum secret sharing scheme which is resistant to rational parties. The proposed scheme is fair (everyone gets the secret), is correct, and achieves strict Nash equilibrium.
