The loop-tree duality at work

We review the recent developments of the loop-tree duality method, focussing our discussion on analysing the singular behaviour of the loop integrand of the dual representation of one-loop integrals and scattering amplitudes. We show that within the loop-tree duality method there is a partial cancellation of singularities at the integrand level among the different components of the corresponding dual representation. The remaining threshold and infrared singularities are restricted to a finite region of the loop momentum space, which is of the size of the external momenta and can be mapped to the phase-space of real corrections to cancel the soft and collinear divergences.
Improvement of Socio-economic Conditions and Distribution of Consumption Expenditures : Case Study of India ’ s Poverty Decline over Two Decades

This paper examines how the standard of living in India has improved over two decades, focusing on the distribution of household-level consumption expenditures. The analysis is conducted using the DiNardo-Fortin-Lemieux (DFL) semi-parametric decomposition method, which offers two desirable features that enable us to avoid the traditional pitfalls of (semi-)macro-level poverty analysis. The estimation results indicate that regional heterogeneity in poverty decline is very large, and different regional factors contribute to the decline at different stages of development. From 1983 to 1993/94, regional education (measured by literacy rate) was the main engine of the decline, accounting for 85% of the total poverty decline in the period. However, in the decade that followed, labor market conditions had a significant role in reducing poverty. In particular, wage and employment growth in the non-agricultural sector was key in the improvement of living standards. In addition, agricultural wage employment remains important in reducing poverty in rural areas. † I sincerely thank Sayako Kanda, Ayako Kondo, Kohei Kubota, Fumio Ohtake, Masaru Sasaki, Yasuyuki Sawada, and the participants at various seminars for their helpful comments and suggestions.

Unsupervised automatic music genre classification

In this study we explore automatic music genre recognition and classification of digital music. Music has always been a reflection of culture differences and an influence in our society. Today’s digital content development triggered the massive use of digital music. Nowadays, digital music is manually labeled without following a universal taxonomy, thus, the labeling process to audio indexing is prone to errors. A human labeling will always be influenced by culture differences, education, tastes, etc. Nonetheless, this indexing process is primordial to guarantee a correct organization of huge databases that contain thousands of music titles. In this study, our interest is about music genre organization. We propose a learning and classification methodology for automatic genre classification able to group several music samples based on their characteristics (this is achieved by the proposed learning process) as well as classify a new test music into the previously learned created groups (this is achieved by the proposed classification process). The learning method intends to group the music samples into different clusters only based on audio features and without any previous knowledge on the genre of the samples, and therefore it follows an unsupervised methodology. In addition a Model-Based approach is followed to generate clusters as we do not provide any information about the number of genres in the dataset. Features are related with rhythm analysis, timbre, melody, among others. In addition, Mahalanobis distance was used so that the classification method can deal with non-spherical clusters. The proposed learning method achieves a clustering accuracy of 55% when the dataset contains 11 different music genres: Blues, Classical, Country, Disco, Fado, Hiphop, Jazz, Metal, Pop, Reggae and Rock. The clustering accuracy improves significantly when the number of genres is reduced; with 4 genres (Classical, Fado, Metal and Reggae), we obtain an accuracy of 100%. As for the classification process, 82% of the submitted music samples were correctly classified.

Coping styles and empathy in professional burnout: A study of physical therapists

Abstract The profession of a physical therapist is among so-called social professions, which are particularly exposed to high risks of burnout. Our paper analyzes the relationships between professional burnout in physical therapists and their perceived levels of stress, the strategies they use to cope with stress, as well as their levels of empathy and professional satisfaction. The following questionnaires were used in the study: the Burnout Scale Inventory (Okła & Steuden, 1998); the multidimensional coping inventory COPE (Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989); and the Questionnaire Measure of Emotional Empathy (Mehrabian & Epstein, 1972). Varying levels of professional burnout were observed in a sample of 76 physical therapists, who demonstrated no significant relationships between burnout and empathy levels. Higher burnout levels were found in participants working in public compared to privately-owned health centers, while those scoring higher on job satisfaction also had lower burnout results. Further, participants with higher professional burnout also reported higher levels of stress at the workplace and at home, as well as using avoidance coping strategies. The results of our study call for further investigation into the determinants of burnout in physical therapists and for implementing preventive measures.

Nanoscopic Strength Analysis of Work-Hardened L-Grade Austenitic Stainless Steel, 316(NG)

hardness, Hvdis is the dislocation strengthening hardness in the dislocation cell, and Hvcel and Hvcsl are the fine grain strengthening hardness due to the dislocation cell and coarse slip. Hvsol was about 50, independently of RA. Hvdis was zero at RA 30%. Hvcel and Hvcsl increased with increasing in RA and were kept constant at about 50 and 120 at RA ¼ 20 and 30%, respectively. It was suggested from these results that all dislocations introduced by rolling might be dissipated for the creation of dislocation cells and coarse slips at RA 30%.
Electron localization in metallic quantum wells: Pb versus In on Si(111)

Two-dimensional quantum well states in ultrathin metal films generally exhibit a dispersion relation of s-p-derived states that can be described through an effective mass of the corresponding bulk band. By contrast, the effective masses in Pb quantum well states on Si111, measured through angle-resolved photoemission, are up to an order of magnitude larger than those from the bulk states or predicted by slab calculations, while similar anomalies are not observed in the related In/Si111 system. We interpret these data in terms of an enhanced electron localization, and use them to interpret recent scanning tunneling microscopy results. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.73. 161308 PACS numbers: 73.21. Fg, 68.55. Jk, 79.60. Dp The physical properties of ultrathin epitaxial metallic films exhibit marked differences compared to those of the bulk, through the effect of electron confinement in the film, and the influence of film-substrate and film-vacuum interfaces. Electron confinement leads to the formation of discrete quantum well states QWS, 1 which may play a decisive role in many film properties, such as growth morphology, 2 “magic” or “critical” thicknesses, 3 oscillations in the magnitude of the superconducting transition temperature, 4 and oscillations in the direction and magnitude of the Hall effect. 5,6 Moreover, the study of confinement in metal films has led to important observations of fundamental properties of metals, such as a detailed study of electron-phonon coupling. 7 In extended metal films, electron motion is only confined in the z direction normal to the film. Hence, quantum well states are expected to exhibit a dispersion relation Ekx,ky for the component of electron wave vector k along the x and y directions parallel to the film, that is similar to the bulk band from which they are derived. This is in fact found in studies of quantum well states in s-p metals such as Ag, 8 Al, 9 and Mg. 10 Effective masses m * are used to describe the disper

Genome-wide discovery and characterization of microsatellite markers from Melipona fasciculata (Hymenoptera: Apidae), cross-amplification and a snapshot assessment of the genetic diversity in two stingless bee populations

Brazilian native meliponines are currently threatened by increased human impacts. The assessment of their genetic variation by microsatellite DNA markers can assist in the conservation of populations and help in the planning and establishment of efficient management strategies. The purpose of this study was to develop the first set of microsatellite markers for Melipona fasciculata, selected from partial genome assembly of Illumina paired-end reads. Primer pairs were designed for each detected locus at their flanking regions. Bee samples were genotyped from two different populations of Northeastern Brazil for marker characterization and validation. A total of 17 microsatellite loci displayed polymorphism. Mean HE and HO heterozygosities were 0.453 and 0.536, respectively. PIC across all loci ranged from 0.108 to 0.714. A genetic diversity analysis revealed high values for population differentiation estimates (FST = 0.194, RST = 0.230, and Dest = 0.162) within the investigated region. PCoA and Bayesian clustering showed a separation of the species into two distinct clusters. These microsatellite markers have demonstrated strong potential for population-level genetic studies. Moreover, the preliminary analysis of the genetic diversity in M. fasciculata provides provisional evidence of significant population differentiation between the two studied populations.
Variability of The Old Nova V603 Aquilae in UV and X-ray bands

We present the results of a campaign of simultaneous observations of V603 Aql in the X-ray and UV bands ac- complished with the IUE and ROSAT satellites. Simultaneous observations cover 20 orbital cycles, while the total span of all the observations is 40 cycles. This constitutes the longest continuous UV time series of simultaneous space observations of a cataclysmic variable. As all high energy radiation is ultimately powered by accretion, it is perhaps remarkable that we observe some signs of correlations of the UV line and continuum emission with the X-ray flux at zero lag, but none over a range of time lags from 400 40 000 s. A hint of some lagged correlation was revealed for UV color and X-ray flux. We detect a very strong modulation of intensity of the UV lines of CIV and SiIV. The modulation appears coherent over the range of observation and its period of 0:1380(5) d is consistent with the spectroscopic orbital period but diers significantly from the period of photometric modulation. Furthermore, we observe variable P-Cygni profiles of the CIV1550 line. Its absorption and emission components are modulated with the orbital period of the binary. These data present evidence for sustained asymmetry of the supersonic wind excited from the accretion disc yet pose diculties for the current disc and wind models. Since no periodic modulation was found in the X-ray band nor in the UV continuum, the present data do not lend support to our earlier classification of V603 Aql as an intermediate polar.
Identification technologies evaluation method: an application in cattle chain

The objective of this paper is to apply an identification technologies evaluation method in cattle chain in a sample in Brazil and in USA. These technologies are information and communication technologies, such as Radio Frequency Identification and barcode. The research methodology used was a qualitative study, with an extensive literature review on information technology, information systems, and Radiofrequency evaluation methods. A scale was created to decide what decision the case study has to take according to its technology. The method proposed can contribute to the theory of information technology evaluation and can offer practitioners an efficient and effective way to evaluate prospective information technology implementations. The rankings showed that American respondents evaluate RFID with a better performance in security variables. Brazilian agents evaluate Radiofrequency with a better performance in technical and organizational variable. The scale revealed that the Americans have more agents in Group B (8), which means reevaluation of the identification method, and just one in Group A, meaning that it has to change its information technology. Brazilian agents have more cases in Group B (6), than group C (3), and Group A (1). This means that the majority of the sample has to reevaluate their method to trace cattle.

Differentiation of C-Nitrocompounds as the Basis for Thermolysis Mechanisms Formalization

Classification of thermolysis mechanisms for C-nitrocompounds has been performed based on empirical data for different classes of chemical compounds. Focus was placed on the functional environment surrounding the nitrogroup of interest. Finding specific structural characteristics allowed us to formalize the possible mechanisms of its degradation. The results of subsequent computer generation for decomposition mechanisms of several aliphatic C-nitrocompounds demonstrated a good prediction capability of our methodology for modeling processes of thermolysis in organic compounds.
Socioeconomic Consequences of Childhood Onset Type 1 Diabetes – a case study of the impact of an early life health shock

Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong, chronic disease, that generally has a sudden onset early in life, which changes the conditions for the affected child and the child’s family. The overall purpose of this thesis was to explore the socioeconomic consequences of childhood onset type 1 diabetes and through this investigate how an early life health shock can affect adult socioeconomic status. The four included papers aim to capture the overall effect of type 1 diabetes on socioeconomic outcomes, such as education, employment and earnings, during different stages in life, including adolescence, young adulthood, and midlife. The thesis also explores potential pathways through which type 1 diabetes may ultimately lead to detrimental labor market outcomes.The analyses were performed using data from the Swedish Childhood Diabetes Register, a Swedish national research register for childhood incidence of type 1 diabetes, that has been linked to other national health data registers and socio-economic databases. Using a control group of four unique population controls, matched by year of birth and municipality of residence at the time of the diagnosis, the effect of type 1 diabetes was studied in birth cohorts born between 1962 and 1993, analyzing outcomes in ages 16 to 50 years.The results show that the onset of type 1 diabetes, before the age of 15, negatively affects educational achievements, in both compulsory schooling and upper secondary school, as well as the final level of education. Despite developments in treatment and educational changes over time, the data indicate a persistent negative effect of type 1 diabetes on school performance also in later birth cohorts. In a longer perspective, the results show that childhood onset type 1 diabetes negatively affects employment and earnings for both women and men. The magnitude of the effect, however, depends on individual characteristics, such as gender, age at diagnosis, and disease duration. The results suggest that adult health contributes to a large proportion of the total labor market effect of type 1 diabetes, but other important factors, related to occupation, education, and family formation, also explain part of the impact on employment and earnings.In conclusion, the findings of this thesis show that childhood onset type 1 diabetes negatively impacts socioeconomic outcomes, both early in life and in adulthood, and represents a burden that is borne both by the individual and the society. In a broader perspective, the results provide insights to how a distinct and definable shift in childhood health may translate into working life consequences. (Less)
The Day-ofthe-Week Effect on Return and Volatility in the Turkish Stock Markets 145 2 Literature

This study investigates the presence of the day-of-the-week effect on the return and return volatility of the BIST (Borsa Istanbul) stock indexes, those of the BIST-100, the BIST-Financials, the BIST-Services, the BIST-Industrials, and the BIST-Technology for the period January 7, 2008 to December 28, 2012 in Turkey. Empirical findings obtained from EGARCH (1,1) model show that the returns on Mondays are positive and the highest during the week for all indexes, and only the BIST-Financials index returns do not show the significant Monday effect. There isn’t any evidence of the day-of-the-week effect on the BIST-Financials returns. The BIST-100 Industrials returns also show a significant positive Tuesday and Wednesday effects, while the BIST-Technology shows a positive Tuesday effect. On Fridays, all index returns are positive and not significant except the BIST-Services. Return volatility increases the most on Mondays, while decreases the most on Fridays for each index. This is statistically significant for the BIST-100, the BIST-Financials and the BIST-Industrials. On Tuesdays, volatility declines insignificantly in all index returns except the BIST-Industrials. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, there is no significant impact on the volatility. There exists no evidence of the day-of-the-week on the volatility of the BIST-Services and the BIST-Technology returns. This study also finds that the leverage effect exists in all indexes and all of them display strong GARCH effects. JEL classification numbers: G11, G14, G15
Complex Adaptive Systems and the Origins of Adaptive Structure: What Experiments Can Tell Us

Language is a product of both biological and cultural evolution. Clues to the origins of key structural properties of language can be found in the process of cultural transmission between learners. Recent experiments have shown that iterated learning by human participants in the laboratory transforms an initially unstructured artificial language into one containing regularities that make the system more learnable and stable over time. Here, we explore the process of iterated learning in more detail by demonstrating exactly how one type of structure-compositionality-emerges over the course of these experiments. We introduce a method to precisely quantify the increasing ability of a language to systematically encode associations between individual components of meanings and signals over time and we examine how the system as a whole evolves to avoid ambiguity in these associations and generate adaptive structure.
