Typicality in Pure Wave Mechanics

Hugh Everett III's pure wave mechanics is a deterministic physical theory with no probabilities. He nevertheless sought to show how his theory might be understood as making the same statistical predictions as the standard collapse formulation of quantum mechanics. We will consider Everett's argument for pure wave mechanics, how it depends on the notion of branch typicality, and the relationship between the predictions of pure wave mechanics and the standard quantum probabilities.

Microbial bioavailability of dissolved organic carbon from leachates of freshwater autotrophs

The concentration and bioavailability of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) released during senescence of aquatic vegetation varies among autotrophs, and the corresponding response by microbial communities depends on DOC bioavailability. To evaluate microbial response to different leachate sources, experiments that measured O2 consumption, utilization of DOC and monosaccharides, and the specific absorbance of light at 350 nm (SUVA350) were conducted on leachates from 3 primary producers. Specific absorbance at 350 nm (SUVA350) increased in 2 of 3 experiments. Increases in SUVA350 are consistent with the preferential use of labile DOC with a lower SUVA350. However, similar patterns of monosaccharide and DOC utilization do not support the hypothesis of preferential usage of labile carbohydrates over bulk DOC by the microbial com- munity over the 8 d study. Monosaccharides appear to represent only a portion of a larger pool of labile DOC constituents that are found in autotrophic leachates that can be taken up more rapidly than metabolized by microbial communities. O2 consumption by the microbial community varied significantly among leachate types but was relatively high during the early phase of the experi- ments in all leachates. Similarly, DOC uptake was relatively rapid during the early phase of the experiments. The microbial uptake of DOC relative to the consumption of dissolved oxygen, expressed as a ratio, ranged from 2.31 to 3.95 during the initial 24 h period but approached 1:1 over the duration of the experiment. These ratios suggest that 'luxury uptake' of DOC by microbial communities might have occurred in the initial phase of the experiment.
Iterative Determination of Camera Pose from Line Features

we present an accurate and efficient solution for pose estimation from line features. By introducing coplanarity errors, we formulate the objective functions in terms of distances in the 3D scene space, and use different optimization strategies to find the best rotation and translation. Experiments show that the algorithm has strong robustness to noise and outliers, and that it can attain very accurate results efficiently.
CHANGES IN FARMER TERMS OF TRADE AND AGRICULTURE NET-BARTER TERMS OF TRADE: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS

In line with the Prebisch-Singerhypothesis, it is found that the Indonesian farmer terms of trade in aggregatefollowed a negative trend. Spatially, this tendency was mainly the case for theWestern Part of Indonesia, whereas in the Eastern Part of the country,especially in some Sulawesi and Kalimantan provinces, the farmer terms of tradeincreased significantly. This shows a potency to properly expand theagricultural sector in these provinces without risking the relative welfare offarmers to decline. Thus more agricultural development efforts should bedevoted to these regions. The net barter terms of trade for agriculture, whichmay be seen as a proxy of relative welfare of farmers with some accesses toexport/import market, on the other hand, generally depict a non-negative trend.This suggest that in average this group of farmers, or perhaps a group ofagricultural exporters, was less severaly affected by the crisis or crisis-likeevents than the peasant farmers. Therefore, systematic development program,which should be more than a rescue-short-term-demand-side program, is neededwith a main aim to stabilize the relative welfare of the peasant. The analysisalso suggests that Indonesiaagricultural exports are supply determined, which means that eliminations ofsupply bottlenecks and technological advancement leading to a lower unit costrelative to price received are necessary to undertake.
A Treatise on Downside Risk

This paper discusses the appropriate methodology for the estimation of systematic downside risk and examines its ability to explain the cross-section of future returns. I examine several specifications of downside beta and find that the Hogan-Warren (1974) approach is the only one consistent with the original downside risk framework, as defined by Markowitz (1959), and state-preference theory. Empirically, the Hogan-Warren downside beta dominates both its unconditional counterpart and the alternative specifications of downside beta, implying that the role of downside risk has been greatly underestimated in the past literature. Additionally, as opposed to unconditional beta, it (i) predicts significantly larger slopes and nonsignificant intercepts in portfolio cross-sectional tests and (ii) is not subsumed by size and changes in market value of equity that drives the priced component of book-tomarket [Gerakos and Linnainmaa (2012)]. In the presence of asymmetries in the return distribution, the superior performance of downside risk is attributed to its ability to capture distress risk and to the adverse pricing of unconditional risk in good states, which penalizes favorable and rewards unfavorable events.
A Comparison of Model Selection Procedures for Latent Class Discrete Choice Models

The use of the latent class model (LCM) is a popular way of modelling discrete choices. It is a good alternative to the traditional multinomial logit model (MNL), but the larger number of parameters comes with a risk of overfitting the data. A good model selection procedure is critical when the LCM is applied in an empirical setting. In this paper, three existing model selection methods are researched and placed in the context of the LCM. The methods are then applied in an empirical setting. Panel data on the purchases of saltine crackers in the Rome (Georgia) market is used to illustrate the methods. This research finds that (i) existing selection methods other than the most commonly used Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) can provide valuable information during the model selection process and (ii) none of the three methods considered in this paper provide enough information on their own to adequately select a single model.
Dependence Modeling with Archimedean Copulas

A copula is a function that joins or “couples” a bivariate distribution function H(x, y) to its one-dimensional marginal distribution functions F (x) and G(y)—defined implicitly by the relationship H(x, y) = C(F (x), G(y)). Equivalently, a copula is a bivariate distribution function with uniform (0, 1) margins. For a formal treatment of copulas and their properties, see the monographs by Hutchinson and Lai (1990), Joe (1997), and Nelsen (1999), and conference proceedings edited by Beneš and Štěpán (1997), Cuadras et al. (2002), Dall’Aglio et al. (1991), Dhaene et al. (2003), and Rüschendorf et al. (1996). The importance of copulas in statistical modeling is partially explained in Sklar’s Theorem (1959): Let H be a two-dimensional distribution function with marginal distribution functions F and G. Then there exists a copula C such that H(x,y) = C(F(x),G(y)). Conversely, for any distribution functions F and G and any copula C, the function H defined above is a two-dimensional distribution function with marginals F and G. Furthermore, if F and G are continuous (as we shall assume), C is unique. Sklar’s theorem also applies to survival functions. Let X, Y be continuous random variables with survival functions F (x) = Pr(X > x) and G(x) = Pr(Y > y), and joint survival function H(x) = Pr(X > x, Y > y). The function Ĉ which couples H to F and G via H(x, y) = Ĉ(F (x), G(x)) is called the survival copula of X and Y . Furthermore, Ĉ is a copula, and Ĉ(u, v) = u+ v− 1 +C(1−u, 1− v), where C is the (ordinary) copula of X and Y . If one has a collection of copulas, then using Sklar’s theorem, one can construct bivariate distributions with arbitrary marginal distributions. Thus, for the purposes of statistical modeling, it is desirable to have a large collection of copulas at one’s disposal. A great many examples of copulas can be found in the literature, most are members of families with one or more real parameters. An important class of such families are the Archimedean copulas.
Analysis of Three Components Waveform to Invert The Moments Tensor of Earthquakes in Java 2010

The island of Java is an earthquake-prone area. In the last five years IRIS recorded around 294 earthquakes in Indonesia, 28 of which occurred on Java Island. Waveform analysis using three-component seismogram is performed to obtain the mo ment tensor and to determine the pattern of subduction fault area in the Java Island. This study begins by requesting several earthquake events during 2010 fro m the BM G-Net, Geo fon webpage. Later, the ISOLA software was used to make conversion and pre-processing data, with the program's input data includes: crustal model, event in fo, choosing the stations, the preparation of raw data, and determines the seismic source, calcu lates the Green function, conducting the inversion and plots the inversion results. Then describe the Fault-Plane that caused the earthquake using hcplot software. The results of analysis show that the fracture patterns that develop in Java are a normal fau lts and reverse faults parallel to the island arc.
MULTI-OBJECT MODEL FREE TRACKER

-Model free trackers can track the hard-handed objects and analysis of these objects with single bounded box. Model free trackers are playing vital role with simultaneously tracking multiple objects with similar appearance. To solve this we used a new multiobject model free tracker by considering the spatial constraints between the objects. In this paper, we explained an online structured SVM algorithm, which helps to learn the spatial constraints. We demonstrated with experimental results, how the structure-preserving object tracker (SPOT) performance betterments in multi-object tracking and also single object trackers can tracking different parts of the objects occurring at the same time.
AN ANALYTICAL SOLUTION FOR INVERSE DETERMINATION OF RESIDUAL STRESS FIELD

An analytical solution is presented that reconstructs residual stress field from limited and incomplete data. The inverse problem of reconstructing residual stresses is solved using an appropriate form of the airy stress function. This function is chosen to satisfy the stress equilibrium equations together with the boundary conditions for a domain within a convex polygon. The analytical solution is demonstrated by developing a reference solution from which selected “measurement” points are used. An artificial error is then randomly added to “measurement” points for studying the stability of the reconstruction method utilizing TikhonovMorozov regularization technique. It is found that there is an excellent agreement between the model prediction and limited set of residual stress data in the sense of least-square approximation. © 2012 IAU, Arak Branch.

FREE RADICAL SCAVE GI G ACTIVITY OF AMARA THUS BLITUM

Plants serve as a rich source of many novel biologically active compounds. Free radical stress leads to tissue injury and progression of disease conditions such as arthritis, hemorrhagic shock, diabetes, hepatic injury, aging and ischemia, reperfusion injury of many tissues, gastritis, tumour promotion, neurodegenerative diseases and carcinogenesis. Safer antioxidants suitable for long term use are needed to prevent or stop the progression of free radical mediated disorders. Many plants possess antioxidant ingredients that provided efficacy by additive or synergistic activities. Amaranthus blitum is used as a medicine against lung disorders. The antioxidant activity of ethanolic extract of Amaranthus blitum was assessed by using DPPH assay, FRAP assay, Reducing power assay, Superoxide, Nitricoxide, Hydroxyl, H2O2 radical scavenging activity and Lipid peroxidation inhibition assay. The ethanolic extract showed inhibition in a dose dependant manner and the results were expressed as IC50. The antioxidant components of the natural products constitute the major source of human health promotion and maintenance.
P o S ( L A T T I C E 2 0 1 6 ) 1 2 0 Towards Radiative Transitions in Charmonium

We present preliminary calculations towards radiative transitions in charmonium using anisotropic N f = 2+ 1 dynamical ensembles generated by the Hadron Spectrum Collaboration. With the use of newer technologies we aim to investigate transitions between states, including potential exotic charmonium states, lying higher in the spectrum than in previous studies. A crucial ingredient in this work is the use of variationally optimised interpolating operators which allow for a reliable determination of the three-point correlation functions needed. Using these operators, we perform first calculations of relevant three-point correlation functions before discussing future directions.
Effect of Organizational Justice Behaviors on Organizational Silence and Cynicism: A Research on Academics from Schools of Physical Education and Sports.

In this research, it is aimed to examine the effect of organizational justice behaviors on organizational silence and cynicism based on the opinions of academics who serve in Schools of Physical Education and Sports, and Faculties of Sports Sciences. Research group consisted of academics from 22 different universities in Turkey. There are 320 people (245 males and 75 females) in the research group. Organizational justice scale, organizational silence scale, organizational cynicism scale and job performance scale are used as data collecting tools in the study. During the research, a model was tried to be created that reflected the correlation among organizational justice behaviors, organizational silence and cynicism the new model was examined by means of Structural Equation Model via Lisrel 8.7. According to the results, the higher the perception of organizational justice behaviors, the less the organizational cynicism. Moreover, there was a positive significant correlation between organizational silence and organizational cynicism.
Reversal Of Acute Human Brain Ischemic Injury By Lysine Induced Therapeutic Angiogenesis: Preliminary Results Of A Pilot Study

Effects of L-lysine monohydrochloride on ischemia reversibility were studied using diffusion and perfusion MRI in 11 patients and 4 controls with large territory ischemic brain injury. Parametric maps of vascular physiological function were synthesized. Region of interest analysis was done from the infracted and corresponding contralateral normal regions. Statistical analysis demonstrated significant changes in terms of lesion volumes, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV), relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF), mean transit time (MTT) ratios in patients treated with lysine compared to controls. A significant increase in rCBV ratio in lysine treated patients suggests that increased angiogenesis is probably responsible for tissue reversibility and functional recovery in these patients.
A Start up Socially Responsible Subject of Evolutionary Change in Its Sector

This research aims to verify, through a case study, if a firm operating in a sector plagued by the crisis can successfully overcome the start-up phase by creating shared value with stakeholders, supporting and anticipating the trends of its reference environment. The study of the choices that have enabled the company to establish itself and its results, if consistent with the assertions of the literature, will, therefore, allow to validate the thesis and to measure the effectiveness of the theories and observations cited. The originality of the work lies in the proposed case study: a company that, since the start-up phase, every day “listening” to the needs of the market, and thanks to the propensity to technological innovation in addition to dimensional growth both nationally and internationally, has been at the center of the transformation processes in its industry, rather than be guided by it. All associated with the voluntary adoption of structural and organizational, production and communication models that enable the social responsibility of the Renner Italy SPA to generate values and not just profits.
Multiplatform Competition And State Aid In Digital Television: The Italian Case

Digital technologies and new communication platforms may enable a higher degree of market competition and consumer welfare in converging TLC and media markets; sometimes also pluralism. We analyse the recent Italian experience on digital television (DTV), focusing on the introduction of the terrestrial platform (DTT). The launch campaign was actively promoted by State intervention, and focused on consumer subsidies targeted at decoders embedding open standards: its purported ultimate rationale was to promote a fast switch-off of the terrestrial analogue signal (by 2006) and to reduce the digital divide, enabling citizens excluded by conventional Internet access to use interactive services via DTV. These outcomes, in turn, would have enabled new entry and a more pluralistic Information Society. A few months later, the two main private broadcasters launched pay-per-view services on DTT, challenging the previous quasi-monopoly of Sky in pay-TV. So, at a first sight, DTT seems to have increased the overall level of competition in Italian TV, even without the achievement of the analogue switch-off, which was eventually postponed to 2012. However, a deeper analysis considering jointly free-to-air and pay-TV markets yields a more problematic picture, and shows that the Italian TV landscape does not fulfil several important conditions established by the New EU Regulatory Framework on electronic communications. First, state intervention in DTT did not solve the chronic spectrum mismanagement and the highly chaotic and concentrated frequencies distribution; rather, it created a more intricate property rights regime. Second, the recent Decision of the EU Commission qualifying Italian decoder subsidies as illegal state aid brings into question the whole Italian DTV policy, which over time seems to have systematically hampered multiplatform competition and the roll-out of new communication platforms. In particular, the main point raised by the Commission is that the measure excludes satellite in a unnecessary and distortionary way, dampening its spontaneous take-off. Considering that in Italy (coaxial) cable is absent and the roll-out of broadband networks (fibre optic) remains limited, these recent policy initiatives have compromised the digital dividend and restrained new entry in TV markets, thereby reinforcing the media concentration trend taking place world-wide. Finally, despite its centralist policy-induced process of catch-up, DTT remains technically troublesome and its diffusion stagnates. In short, the moral of DTT story appears to be that of a country entrenched in an inferior technological trajectory.

This FBG sensor system can also be applied to measure the dynamic strain of a bearing. Keyword: FBG, Sensor System, Dynamic Strain, Low Frequency, Contrast Test
Inner-shell Excitations of Krypton 3 d and Argon 2 p Investigated by Electron Impact with High Resolution

The inner-shell excitation spectra of krypton 3d and argon 2p electrons at 0 and 4 scattering angles were measured by a fast-electron energy-loss spectrometer (EELS) at an incident energy of 2.5 keV with an energy resolution better than 80 meV (FWHM). Some new optically forbidden transitions were observed and the natural widths of the optically allowed and forbidden transitions were analyzed. It shows that the natural widths of transitions excited from the same inner-orbital are nearly equal, no matter they are optically allowed or optically forbidden or different members of Rydberg series. We also proposed the possibility to measure resonant auger process of optically forbidden excited intermediate states. PACS numbers: 34.80. Dp, 31.15. Ar, 32.70. Fw, 32.80. Dz
LDPC-Convolutional Codes for IEEE 802.16m FEC Scheme

We show the basic concept of LDPC-CC proposed as a new class of LDPC, and compare LDPC-CC with the conventional FEC classes such as Convolutional Turbo Codes (CTC) and LDPC-BC. From the result of the comparison, we show LDPC-CC have advantages of encoder complexity and decoder latency. Hence, we propose LDPC-CC as one of the candidates of FEC scheme, because LDPC-CC are most likely to achieve the peak data rate required for 16m, with low complexity and low latency.
