description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: An important part of life is security. It provides security for both a stable environment and self- preservation. People may carry out their activities in a safe atmosphere without fear of injury or harassment. The characteristic or state of being safe, free from danger, free from fear, or free from worry is security, according to Omario (2003). The ability of a state to defend its citizens from the threat and danger is a dynamic condition that Omede (2011) characterized as a security. Peace, safety, enjoyment, and the preservation of both human and material resources are all aspects of security. According to Ukpere (2012), security is the safeguarding of material and human resources from unintentional, harmful disturbances to the routines of everyday living in residences, workplaces, or communities. Progress and security are closely related since progress is impossible in any nation where there is insecurity.

description: Using a computer model for the crystal extraction, we investigate the bent-crystal parameters optimal for the extraction experiment. The optimal crystal curvature is found to be near 1 GeV/cm (for pv/R), i.e. a factor of 2--3 higher than for the crystal application in beam lines. An influence of the accelerator optics on extraction is discussed. A possibility of using the high-Z crystals for extraction is considered. The simulations for the ongoing experiments at the CERN-SPS and the Fermilab Tevatron, and for the proposed extraction at LHC, are presented.

description: In this study, we obtain an approximate solution of the Schrodinger equation in arbitrary dimensions for the generalized shifted Hulthen potential model within the framework of the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. The bound state energy eigenvalues were computed and the corresponding eigenfunction was also obtained. It is found that the numerical eigenvalues were in good agreement for all three approximations scheme used. Special cases were considered when the potential parameters were altered, resulting into Hulthen Potential and Woods-Saxon Potential respectively. Their energy eigenvalues expressions agreed with the already existing literatures. A straightforward extension to the s-wave case for Hulthen potential and Woods-Saxon Potential cases are also presented.

description: In recent years the issue of animal welfare in intensive livestock production systems has been subjected to increasing attention from media, politicians and the wider public. This increasing rejection of concerning meat production by western society has placed food manufactures along the meat supply chain in a difficult situation characterized by conflicting demands. On the one hand, the farming and food industries operate economically in a field where cost degression and growth are required in order to remain internationally competitive. Accordingly, in the past the focus of farms and firms has been primarily on the exploitation of economies of scale, whereas to a certain extent aspects of animal welfare have been neglected. On the other hand, consumer awareness of food products is constantly changing, and there has been a continuous trend towards the purchase and consumption of foods that have been produced in a more animal friendly way. But there is a paucity of clearly understandable information on animal welfare standards that would enable consumers to select products of animal origin on the basis of a conscious purchase decision. Besides an increase in legislative regulation, improved animal welfare standards are most frequently achieved through the establishment of so-called animal welfare labels to meet the expectations of society and to allow consumers to make informed purchasing decisions. However, so far, there has been no informed assessment of the various approaches to improve animal welfare. It is, therefore, the aim of this paper to provide an assessment of selected European animal welfare labels for poultry on the basis of a developed set of criteria and thereby to contribute to better informing consumers and to further improve existing approaches. The criteria-based evaluation shows, that there are significant differences between the labels investigated regarding the improvement of animal welfare standards. The results obtained are consequently of far-reaching importance for both consumers and enterprises that are considering entering the market segment for animal welfare products.

description: We investigate the implications of the SNO charged-current (CC) and electron scattering (ES) measurements of solar \br neutrino fluxes for neutrino mass and mixing parameters by performing a global and unified $χ^2$ analysis of the solar neutrino data in the framework of two neutrino mixing. We consider both $ν_e -ν_{active}$ and $ν_e -ν_{sterile}$ solutions and perform (i) analysis of the total rates data of Cl, Ga, SK and SNO experiments and (ii) global analysis including the total rates data, the recoil electron spectrum data of SK and the CC spectrum observed at SNO. For the $ν_e-ν_{active}$ case the inclusion of the SNO results in the analysis of the total rates reduces(enhances) the goodness-of-fit (GOF) of the SMA(LMA) solution. The flat spectrum observed at SK further favours the LMA solution over the SMA solution and no allowed area is obtained in the SMA region at 3$σ$ level from the global analysis. For the $ν_e -ν_{sterile}$ case, with the inclusion of the SNO results, all the solutions are disfavoured with a probability of more than 99% from the total rates analysis while for the global analysis the GOF of these become much worse.

description: Ένας από τους πλέον σημαντικούς τομείς στην οικονομική ζωή κάθε κράτους, αλλά ταυτόχρονα και τους πιο πολύπλοκους είναι αυτός της Υγείας. Κάθε χώρα στοχεύει στην επίτευξη της μέγιστης δυνατής απόδοσης στην υγεία, συνδυάζοντάς την πάντα με το μικρότερο δυνατό κόστος, μέσω του υγειονομικού συστήματος που διαμορφώνει. Οι συνολικές δαπάνες του συστήματος υγείας προκύπτουν ως άθροισμα των νοσοκομειακών, ιατρικών και φαρμακευτικών δαπανών. Οι φαρμακευτικές δαπάνες συμπεριλαμβάνουν το πόσο που δαπανάται τόσο για πρωτότυπα φάρμακα, εντός και εκτός πατέντας, όσο και για γενόσημα. Η προσπάθεια για περιορισμό του προϋπολογισμού υγείας, σε ατομικό αλλά και κρατικό επίπεδο, έχει οδηγήσει στην προώθηση γενόσημων φαρμάκων, κυρίως λόγω της χαμηλής τιμής τους. Στην Ελλάδα δε, στα πλαίσια και των οικονομικών μέτρων που ελήφθησαν στα πλαίσια της 10ετούς και πλέον, οικονομικής κρίσης, έχουν τεθεί συγκεκριμένοι στόχοι χρήσης γενοσήμων φαρμάκων. Όμως, παρά τη δυνατότητα που προσφέρουν για εξοικονόμηση πόρων, τα γενόσημα σημειώνουν ακόμη ιδιαίτερα χαμηλά ποσοστά διείσδυσης στην αγορά. Αυτό εγείρει ερωτήματα σχετικά με την ευαισθητοποίηση, την αντίληψη και την προτίμηση για τα γενόσημα από όλα τα ενδιαφερόμενα μέρη του τομέα αυτού, δηλαδή τους επαγγελματίες υγείας, τους ασθενείς, αλλά και τους δυνητικούς καταναλωτές των ιατροτεχνολογικών προϊόντων αυτών. Η παρούσα εργασία στοχεύει αρχικά να παρουσιάσει μία επικαιροποιημένη εικόνα του φαρμακευτικού κλάδου της αγοράς, αναφορικά με τα γενόσημα φάρμακα, τόσο από την πλευρά της παραγωγής και διακίνησής τους στην παγκόσμια αγορά, όσο και από την πλευρά της κατανάλωσής τους στην εγχώρια αγορά. Εν συνεχεία, κρίνεται σκόπιμο να εξεταστεί με τη διεξαγωγή στοχευμένης έρευνας η αντίληψη, αλλά και η πρόθεση αγοράς, για την κατηγορία αυτή φαρμάκων από διάφορες ομάδες ενδιαφέροντος (επαγγελματίες υγείας κατηγοριοποιημένους σε ιατρούς, υγειονομικό προσωπικό και φαρμακοποιούς, ασθενείς και ευρύ καταναλωτικό κοινό). Τέλος, γίνεται προσπάθεια προσδιορισμού των αιτιών του εντοπιζόμενου βαθμού διείσδυσης (μειωμένου ή και αυξημένου) στην εγχώρια αγορά, αλλά και πρότασης λύσεων που θα μπορούσαν να εφαρμοστούν με σκοπό τη διεύρυνση της χρήσης γενοσήμων.
Acercamiento al Conflicto Identitario Peruano en la Novela Cocinero en su Tinta de Gustavo Rodríguez
Creators: name: Giorgio, Karla
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

description: In Peru since the end of the last century, there has been a surge in new interest in cuisine in the country, due to the so-called Peruvian gastronomic boom. The novel Cocinero en su tinta employs this cultural phenomenon as its setting to articulate the personal conflicts of Rembrandt Bedoya, a recognized Peruvian chef, who searches for a récipe that represents the cultural polyhedral reality of his country to be presented in Madrid. This search is coupled gradually with the necessity of making peace with the memory of his father and establishing a relationship with his evasive and unattainable lover. The objective of this thesis is to investigate and analyze how the personal and national journeys of the protagonist is the recurring theme that links the narrative discourse. The first chapter is dedicated to analyzing the cultural importance of food in relation to the established ties with the protagonist, who identifies as much as a Peruvian as he does as chef. In the second chapter, Rembrandt’s personal and national conflicts are explored deeper, as well as his desire to find originality through his relationships with the other characters, estableshing and analyzing his search for the double meaning of origins. Key Words: Peruvian gastronomic boom, identity, creole from Lima, Gustavo Rodríguez

description: We propose a model that all quark and lepton mass matrices originally have the same zero texture. Namely their (1,1), (1,3) and (3,1) components are zeros. For the neutrino mass matrix, we further impose the symmetry between the second and the third generations. Then the neutrino mass matrix has a maximal (ν_μ) - (ν_τ) mixing. Our model is consistent with all the neutrino oscillation experiments and the experimental data in the quark sector too. The neutrino mass matrix can also be well incorporated with the seesaw mechanism.

description: Social media, in the past decade, changes the whole spectrum of businesses, as well as learning and education. Social Media has also gained dedicated followers in Universities, Colleges, Institutions, and Schools. Firstly at higher schools and now increasingly in Primary schools, despite their use in schools often not being encouraged by school authorities. Social media have enormous power and transformed the way students and faculty communicate in the teaching and learning process. The learning and teaching process in higher education is currently experiencing a technological revolution. This is mainly because social media is presently used as a tool by administrators, faculties, and management to communicate with students inside and outside of the classroom. In this research, descriptive statistics are used to analyze secondary data on the trend of faculty use of social media. This study focuses on the role of social media in higher education, specifically for education delivery and improving the quality of instructions in education. Social networking is exploiting the use of social networks as learning tools in the context of smart classroom environment for higher education delivery. In Higher education, Social networking technologies are exploited in education delivery.

Το δείγμα της έρευνας αποτέλεσαν οι εταιρίες – μέλη της πανελλήνιας ένωσης φαρμακοβιομηχανίας. Για τους σκοπούς της εργασίας, πραγματοποιήθηκε ποιοτική έρευνα, μέσω της συλλογής δεδομένων από τους ιστοτόπους των εταιριών του δείγματος και τις εκθέσεις ΕΚΕ αυτών, στις περιπτώσεις όπου υπήρχαν. Από την ανάλυση των δεδομένων, προέκυψε ότι ένας μεγάλος αριθμός επιχειρήσεων του δείγματος (45% περίπου του δείγματος) δε διαθέτουν πληροφορίες στον ιστότοπό τους σχετικά με την ανάπτυξη δράσεων ΕΚΕ, με αποτέλεσμα να εξαχθεί το συμπέρασμα ότι δεν αναπτύσσουν δράσεις εταιρικής υπευθυνότητας. Το δεύτερο εύρημα της έρευνας αφορούσε στο γεγονός ότι αρκετές από τις επιχειρήσεις του δείγματος, αναφέρονταν στην ανάπτυξη πολιτικής εταιρικής υπευθυνότητας και στην υλοποίηση δράσεων ΕΚΕ, χωρίς, όμως, να παρέχουν πληροφορίες σχετικά με τα είδη των δράσεων που αναπτύσσουν ή τον τρόπο εκδήλωσης των δράσεων. Επιπλέον, προέκυψε ότι οι περισσότερες από τις επιχειρήσεις του δείγματος αναπτύσσουν δράσεις εταιρικής υπευθυνότητας, οι οποίες απευθύνονται στην κοινωνία, δίνοντας ιδιαίτερη έμφαση σε δράσεις που αποσκοπούν στην προστασία του περιβάλλοντος. Αρκετά μικρότερος ήταν ο αριθμός των επιχειρήσεων του δείγματος που αναπτύσσουν δράσεις εταιρικής υπευθυνότητας, οι οποίες αφορούν στους εργαζομένους των επιχειρήσεων καθώς και αυτών που αναπτύσσουν δράσεις εταιρικής υπευθυνότητας, οι οποίες αφορούν στους πελάτες των επιχειρήσεων. Τέλος, οι εταιρίες που έχουν αναπτύξει μια ολοκληρωμένη εταιρική πολιτική είναι περιορισμένες σε αριθμό. Από την άλλη πλευρά, οι περισσότερες εταιρίες επιλέγουν να εκφράζουν την εταιρική υπευθυνότητά τους, μέσω δωρεών ή χορηγιών σε μη κυβερνητικές οργανώσεις, κοινωφελή ιδρύματα, εκπαιδευτικά ιδρύματα κ.α.

description: A new tetronic acid derivative (1) together with terrestric acid (2), a known metabolite of Penicillium species, was isolated from the soil fungus, FG9RK following fermentation on solid rice medium. The structure of 1 was elucidated by one- and two-dimensional NMR and MS measurements. The absolute configuration of the oxygenated carbon in the side chain of 1 was identified as S by converting the compound into its Mosher ester whereas the absolute configuration of the lactone ring was deduced based on biogenetic considerations and comparison with 2.

description: We show that it is possible to uniquely reconstruct a generic many-body local Hamiltonian from a single pair of initial and final states related by time evolution with the Hamiltonian. We then propose a practical version of the protocol involving multiple pairs of such initial/final states. Using the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis, we provide bounds on the protocol's performance and stability against errors from measurements and in the ansatz of the Hamiltonian. The protocol is efficient (requiring experimental resources scaling polynomially with system size in general and constant with system size given translation symmetry) and thus enables analog and digital quantum simulators to verify implementation of a putative Hamiltonian.

Being stuck in that heteronormative space is what I communicate through a stage set, composed of four theater flats, printed and collaged wallpaper, free-standing photos mounted on MDF, a giant necklace in a separate room, and impromptu pieces made in the space.
Probing a cosmic axion-like particle background within the jets of active galactic nuclei

description: Axions or more generally axion-like particles (ALPs) are pseudo-scalar particles predicted by many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics (SM) and considered as viable candidates for dark matter (DM) in the universe. If they really exist in nature, they are expected to couple with photons in the presence of an external electromagnetic field through a form of the Primakoff effect. In addition, many string theory models of the early universe motivate the existence of a homogeneous Cosmic ALP Background (CAB) with 0.1-1 keV energies analogous to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), arising via the decay of string theory moduli in the very early universe. The coupling between the CAB ALPs traveling in cosmic magnetic fields and photons allows ALPs to oscillate into photons and vice versa. In this work, we test the CAB model that is put forward to explain the soft X-ray excess in the Coma cluster due to CAB ALPs conversion into photons using the M87 jet environment. Then we demonstrate the potential of the active galactic nuclei (AGNs) jet environment to probe low-mass ALP models, and to potentially constrain the model proposed to better explain the Coma cluster soft X-ray excess. We find that the overall X-ray emission for the M87 AGN requires an ALP-photon coupling $g_{aγ}$ in the range of $\sim7.50\times 10^{-15}-6.56\times 10^{-14}$ GeV$^{-1}$ for ALP masses $m_a \lesssim 10^{-13}$ eV as long as the M87 jet is misaligned by less than about 20 degrees from the line of sight. These values are up to an order of magnitude smaller than the current best fit value on $g_{aγ}\sim 2\times 10^{-13}$ GeV$^{-1}$ obtained in soft X-ray excess CAB model for the Coma cluster. Our results cast doubt on the current limits of the largest allowed value of $g_{aγ}$ and suggest a new constraint that $g_{aγ}\lesssim 6.56\times 10^{-14}$ GeV$^{-1}$ when a CAB is assumed.

Effects of Solid Fat Content, Synthetic Antioxidants and Headspace Oxygen Reduction on the Rates of Oxidation in Surface and Total Lipids of Crackers
Creators: name: Hayes, Collin Alexander
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

description: Unsaturated fats undergo a process known as oxidation by which they are degraded into undesirable compounds. Therefore it is important for food manufacturers to employ antioxidant strategies. Crackers were used as a model in these studies because of their dietary contribution to saturated, and because the properties of crackers are translatable to other low moisture foods.
The objective of this thesis was to determine if there was a significant variance in rates of oxidation between surface and total lipids in crackers and how solid fat content, synthetic antioxidants, and reduction of headspace oxygen affect those rates. It was hypothesized that lipids on the surface of a cracker would be more prone to oxidation than those on the interior.
Experiments consisted of treatments to monitor total lipid oxidation and surface lipid oxidation. In the first experiment, crackers were formulated with soy oils of varying solid fat content. The second experiment monitored the effects of two synthetic antioxidants, BHT and TBHQ. The third experiment involved flushing the headspace of cracker storage vials with different blends of nitrogen and oxygen to inhibit lipid oxidation.
Overall, significant differences did not exist in the rates of oxidation between surface and interior lipids. The lower the solid fat content of an oil, the more prone it was to oxidation. Antioxidants of greater hydrophobicity have increased efficacy in low moisture foods. Greater than 70% oxygen reduction is necessary to impart any antioxidant effect on crackers.

description: The impact of integrated pest management (IPM) on pesticide use, toxicity and other environmental characteristics, yields, and farm profits is examined for grape growers. The method is generally applicable for technology adoption and accounts for self-selectivity, simultaneity, and theoretical consistency. IPM adopters apply significantly less insecticides and fungicides than nonadopters among grape producers in six states, accounting for most of the U.S. production. Both the average toxicity and the Environmental Impact Quotient decrease slightly with adoption of insect IPM, but remain about the same for adopters and nonadopters of IPM for diseases. The effect of IPM adoption on yields and variable profits is positive but only significant for the case of IPM for diseases, i.e., the adoption of IPM for diseases increases yields and profits significantly.

description: We present the dynamical analysis for interacting quintessence, considering linear cosmological perturbations. Matter perturbations improve the background analysis and viable critical points describing the transition of the three cosmological eras are found. The stability of those fixed points are similar to previous studies in the literature, for both coupled and uncoupled cases, leading to a late-time attractor.

Designing Antimicrobial Polymer Coating to Inhibit Pathogenic and Spoilage Microorganisms
Creators: name: Hung, Anne Yu-Ting
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

description: Microbial cross-contamination remains an on-going challenge in the food sector despite implemented sanitation programs. Antimicrobial coatings with inherent self-sanitizing properties have been explored to enhance current cleaning practice and support food safety. Prior work has demonstrated successful incorporation of dual antimicrobial characters, cationic polymers and N-halamines, into one coating system. In addition to the rechargeable nature of N-halamines, the coating was reported to exhibit biocidal effects due to the inherently antimicrobial cationic moieties and the chlorinated N-halamines. However, while these polymer coatings were able to retain antimicrobial activity after repeated chlorination, signs of hydrolysis was observed for the N-halamine bonds, indicating potential issues for long-term usage. Herein, we introduced varied molecular weight cross-linkers in an adaption of the established fabrication method to evaluate cross-linker molecular weight (styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) of 6, 8, 120, 250 kDa) influence on surface properties of the coating.
All antimicrobial polymer coatings exhibited similar FTIR spectra, with a prominent absorption band at ~1650 cm-1 suggesting successful cross-link of the polyethyleneimine and SMA. Surface concentration of primary amines ranged from 350-900 nmol/cm2, and N-halamines from 90-130 nmol/cm2. Surface energy decreased with increasing molecular weight of SMA, but were not statistically different from one another. In the end, optimal cross-linker molecular weight was determined based on antimicrobial performance, where the coated PPs with 6 kDa SMAs demonstrated enhanced biocidal effects against E. coli O157:H7 in its chlorinated form. Further, the antimicrobial coating demonstrated efficacy of ~3 to >5 log reductions of microbial load in its unchlorinated and chlorinated form against E. coli O157:H7, L. monocytogenes, and P. fluorescens. Storage studies support the stability of the chlorinated halamines, with full retention of chlorinated N-halamines over a 24 h study (representative of time between sanitation cycles). These results support the potential application of this antimicrobial polymer coating in food processing and handling operations, in support of reducing cross-contamination of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms.

Borderline Personality and Risk-Taking: Examining the Role of Impulsivity Across Domains
Creators: name: Karnedy, Colten
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

description: Individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and high levels of BPD traits have demonstrated greater rates of engagement in risky, self-destructive behaviors compared to healthy controls. Specifically, impulsivity has been theorized to underlie many of these risky behaviors. Although existing self-report literature suggests that individuals with BPD are more impulsive than controls, evidence from behavioral measures remains inconclusive. Likewise, there is scant research examining specific domains of impulsivity associated with risky behaviors in BPD, which is problematic given that impulsivity is a diagnostic criterion for BPD. Thus, the proposed research aims to bridge this gap in the literature by examining associations between BPD traits and domains of impulsivity (e.g, urgency, lack of premeditation, lack of perseverance, and sensation seeking), using behavioral measures. Findings suggest that urgency prospectively predicts risky behaviors one-month post assessment. However, contrary to our hypotheses, BPD traits were not significantly associated with any specific impulsivity domain. Additionally, results did not support the notion that impulsivity domains account for the association between BPD traits and future engagement in risky behaviors. Future directions for examining how emotion dysregulation and interpersonal difficulties in BPD relate to impulsivity and risky behaviors are discussed.

description: It is suggested, by using a covariant lagrangian formalism to estimate the equation of state $w = p/ρ$, that stringy dark energy predicts $w < -1$, a negative pressure larger in magnitude than that for a cosmological constant or quintessence. This would lead to a later transition from decelerating to accelerating cosmological expansion; $w = - 4/3$ is briefly considered as one illustrative example.

Immersive Pre-travel Training Application for Seniors and People with Disabilities
Creators: name: LI, YANG
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

description: The ability to travel independently by using public transportation is important to everyone. However, that is a very difficult task for seniors and people with disabilities since it may cause anxiety when they use unfamiliar transportation venues. Therefore, many seniors and people with disabilities use paratransit services instead of public transportation such as the subway and buses. However, the cost of paratransit services is prohibitive and growing due to the increase in the number of seniors and people with disabilities.
This master thesis project presents an immersive pre-travel training application for seniors and people with disabilities. It will help them get familiar with new transportation venues and encourage them to use public transportation.
The main functions of this application are as follows:
1. Provide a 3D virtual environment and real environment videos of transportation venues.
2. Enable the user to explore and get familiar with transportation venues by controlling a virtual character in the 3D virtual environment.
3. Use audio navigation instructions to navigate users to a selected destination.
4. Provide multiple navigation preference options (e.g., stairs, escalators and elevators).

Spectral properties of some complex Jacobi matrices

Subjects: subject: Spectral Theory (math.SP)

description: We study spectral properties of bounded and unbounded complex Jacobi matrices. In particular, we formulate conditions assuring that the spectrum of the studied operators is continuous on some subsets of the complex plane and we provide uniform asymptotics of their generalised eigenvectors. We illustrate our results by considering complex perturbations of real Jacobi matrices belonging to several classes: asymptotically periodic, periodically modulated and the blend of these two. Moreover, we provide conditions implying existence of a unique closed extension. The method of the proof is based on the analysis of a generalisation of shifted Turán determinants to the complex setting.

Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

description: Memristor is a novel passive electronic device and a promising candidate for new generation non-volatile memory and analog computing. Analog computing based on memristors has been explored in this study. Due to the lack of commercial electrical testing instruments for those emerging devices and crossbar arrays, we have designed and built testing circuits to implement analog and parallel computing operations. With the setup developed in this study, we have successfully demonstrated image processing functions utilizing large memristor crossbar arrays. We further designed and experimentally demonstrated the first memristor based field programmable analog array (FPAA), which was successfully configured for audio equalizer and frequency classifier demonstration as exemplary applications of such memristive FPAA (memFPAA).
Soft-collinear effective theory and heavy-to-light currents beyond leading power

description: An important unresolved question in strong interaction physics concerns the parameterization of power-suppressed long-distance effects to hard processes that do not admit an operator product expansion (OPE). Recently Bauer et al.\ have developed an effective field theory framework that allows one to formulate the problem of soft-collinear factorization in terms of fields and operators. We extend the formulation of soft-collinear effective theory, previously worked out to leading order, to second order in a power series in the inverse of the hard scale. We give the effective Lagrangian and the expansion of ``currents'' that produce collinear particles in heavy quark decay. This is the first step towards a theory of power corrections to hard processes where the OPE cannot be used. We apply this framework to heavy-to-light meson transition form factors at large recoil energy.

description: Vortices are localized planar structures that attain topological stability and can be used to describe collective behavior in a diversity of situations of current interest in nonlinear science. In high energy physics, vortices engender integer winding number and appear under the presence of a local Abelian symmetry. In this work we study vortices in a Maxwell-Higgs model, in which the gauge symmetry is enhanced to accommodate additional symmetries, responsible to generate localized structures to be used to constrain the vortex structure in a given region in the plane. The main aim is to examine how the vortex profile changes when it inhabits a limited region, an issue of current interest to the study of vortices at the nanometric scale.

title: Income Contingency and the Electorate’s Support for Tuition

description: We show that the electorate’s preferences for using tuition to finance higher education strongly depend on the design of the payment scheme. In representative surveys of the German electorate (N>18,000), experimentally replacing regular upfront by deferred income-contingent payments increases public support for tuition by 18 percentage points. The treatment turns a plurality opposed to tuition into a strong majority of 62 percent in favor. Additional experiments reveal that the treatment effect similarly shows when framed as loan repayments, when answers carry political consequences, and in a survey of adolescents. Reduced fairness concerns and improved student situations act as strong mediators.

description: Pesticide prices can influence producer decisions to apply pesticides as opposed to nonchemical means of pest control. Those prices are in tum influenced by price and exchange rate policies. The effective rate of protection for nine pesticides commonly applied to vegetables in the Philippines was calculated to determine whether government policies are creating incentives or disincentives to adopt more integrated pest management methods. Calculations found that direct price policies, primarily through an import tariff, tax pesticide use while an overvalued exchange rate subsidizes pesticide use. The net effect is a 6 to 8% pesticide subsidy. This subsidy results in economic surplus gains to vegetable producers and consumers when negative externalities associated with pesticide use are not accounted for. However, recent analysis of human health effects of pesticide use on rice in the Philippines demonstrates that these externalities can be substantial. Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
