Bridging the Digital Learning Divide: Artificial Intelligence, Access, and the Social Determinants of Higher Education Outcomes in Africa

Abstract The rapid diffusion of artificial intelligence into African higher education has renewed the expectation that technology will close long-standing gaps in educational opportunity. This study argues that the expectation will be disappointed unless the digital learning divide is understood as a socially structure...

Calibrating a Biomechanical Acceptance Test for Post-Training Quantization of a Video-Diffusion Transformer

Post-training quantization (PTQ) compresses large video-diffusion transformers without fine-tuning, and acceptance tests built from biomechanical measurements of the generated motion have been proposed as an alternative to frame-averaged reconstruction quality. This study examines whether such a test separates quantize...

A Low-Latency Multi-Agent Architecture for Statistical Arbitrage, Market Making, and Volatility-Conditioned Leverage Scaling Across Asset Classes

This institutional research memorandum presents the architecture, theoretical design, and empirical evaluation of a systematic, multi-asset intraday trading system designed for statistical arbitrage and market making across cryptocurrency perpetual derivatives, equity index derivatives, and CME futures. The system comb...

From Electronic Heterogeneity to Extreme Residence Times: A Multiscale Model of Energetic Stabilization, Stochastic Trapping, and Transport

Persistent local states can arise without a uniform reduction in system-wide mobility.Here, we develop a minimal multiscale model to examine whether mi-croscopic electronic heterogeneity can propagate through energetic stabi-lization into extreme local residence-time statistics.A four-state effective Hamiltonian was us...

Robotic Hand‐Arm Coordinated Skill Learning for Tool Manipulation Tasks

ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the specific scenario of tool manipulation and presents a novel framework enabling robots to acquire tool manipulation skills through learning from human demonstrations. While there have been numerous studies on robotic manipulation skill learning, most of them fail to fully leverage the...

Identifiable Transport Groups and Bayesian Experimental Design in Finite Bath Dyeing

Finite bath dyeing models can fit trajectories precisely while obscuring geometric ambiguity and binding error. We derive a conservative diffusion–binding model with uncertain thickness, pore volume, film transfer and optical scale. An exact scaling symmetry identifies Dref/L² and kf/L as observable transport groups. A...

Renewable Energy Explained: Power Systems, Storage & Sustainable Technologies

Renewable Energy Explained: Power Systems, Storage & Sustainable Technologies is a publication-grade Open Educational Resource (OER) module covering the thermodynamic principles, electrochemical modeling, conversion technologies, and grid integration of sustainable power systems. Serving as an integral core module with...

Poisson Spacetime Discreteness and Unimodular Gravity: Consistency Conditions and Exact Past-Cone Statistics of a Fluctuating Cosmological Term in the TSGT Framework

Abstract Can Poisson discreteness of spacetime supply gravitational dynamics or a fluctuating cosmological term? We examine this question for the framework previously called Topological String-Gradient Theory (TSGT) and then make its statistical proposal quantitative. A random counting measure, its metric-dependent mea...

Digital Transformation in Banking and Financial Performance of Commercial Banks in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya.

Digital banking adoption refers to the integration and use of electronic platforms such as mobile banking, internet banking, agency banking and automated teller machines (ATMs) to deliver financial services. It is increasingly regarded as a critical driver of efficiency, service delivery and financial performance in th...
