description: I am an economist among physicians and public health people, But , since we have heard a number of physicians telling us about dollars and cost-benefit analysis, perhaps I can say some things about health . Much of what was said yesterday sounded correct. For example, Dr. Merril Eisenbud said that we have to look at costs and benefits. Dr. Vaun Newill did an excellent job on that. In the 1960s there was a naive notion that it did not cost anything to clean up the environment or perhaps that guilty people would pay the cost. Clearly, that is wrong.

description: The resonance characteristics of a driven damped harmonic oscillator are well known. Unlike harmonic oscillators which are guided by parabolic potentials, a simple pendulum oscillates under sinusoidal potentials. The problem of an undamped pendulum has been investigated to a great extent. However, the resonance characteristics of a driven damped pendulum have not been re- ported so far due to the difficulty in solving the problem analytically. In the present work we report the resonance characteristics of a driven damped pendulum calculated numerically. The results are compared with the resonance characteristics of a damped driven harmonic oscillator. The work can be of pedagogic interest too as it reveals the richness of driven damped motion of a simple pendulum in comparison to and how strikingly it differs from the motion of a driven damped harmonic oscillator. We confine our work only to the nonchaotic regime of pendulum motion.

description: The 1960's was a decade of U.S. idealism-there was a belief that our society could accomplish anything it set its mind to do. The decade opened with President Kennedy declaring that we would put a man on the moon by 1970. Social injustices were to be righted by a series of civil rights acts that pushed aside economic as well as legal barriers. Finally, President Johnson believed that we could have Great Society programs at home while fighting a war in Southeast Asia.
Deep inelastic scattering at strong coupling from gauge/string duality : the saturation line

description: For gauge theories which admit a dual string description, we analyze deep inelastic scattering at strong 't Hooft coupling and high energy, in the vicinity of the unitarity limit. We discuss the onset of unitarity corrections and determine the saturation line which separates weak scattering from strong scattering in the parameter space of rapidity and photon virtuality. We discover that the approach towards unitarity proceeds through two different mechanisms, depending upon the photon virtuality Q^2 : single Pomeron exchange at relatively low Q^2 and, respectively, multiple graviton exchanges at higher Q^2. This implies that the total cross-section at high energy and large Q^2 is dominated by diffractive processes. This is furthermore suggestive of a partonic description where all the partons have transverse momenta below the saturation momentum and occupation numbers of order one.

Optimal localist and distributed coding of spatiotemporal spike patterns through STDP and coincidence detection

description: Repeating spatiotemporal spike patterns exist and carry information. Here we investigated how a single spiking neuron can optimally respond to one given pattern (localist coding), or to either one of several patterns (distributed coding, i.e. the neuron's response is ambiguous but the identity of the pattern could be inferred from the response of multiple neurons), but not to random inputs. To do so, we extended a theory developed in a previous paper [Masquelier, 2017], which was limited to localist coding. More specifically, we computed analytically the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a multi-pattern-detector neuron, using a threshold-free leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron model with non-plastic unitary synapses and homogeneous Poisson inputs. Surprisingly, when increasing the number of patterns, the SNR decreases slowly, and remains acceptable for several tens of independent patterns. In addition, we investigated whether spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) could enable a neuron to reach the theoretical optimal SNR. To this aim, we simulated a LIF equipped with STDP, and repeatedly exposed it to multiple input spike patterns, embedded in equally dense Poisson spike trains. The LIF progressively became selective to every repeating pattern with no supervision, and stopped discharging during the Poisson spike trains. Furthermore, using certain STDP parameters, the resulting pattern detectors were optimal. Tens of independent patterns could be learned by a single neuron using a low adaptive threshold, in contrast with previous studies, in which higher thresholds led to localist coding only. Taken together these results suggest that coincidence detection and STDP are powerful mechanisms, fully compatible with distributed coding. Yet we acknowledge that our theory is limited to single neurons, and thus also applies to feed-forward networks, but not to recurrent ones.

description: Knowing the nature and magnitude of health and safety risks is helpful in setting priorities as well as in making decisions about pursuing recreational activities, foods, jobs, and other aspects of everyday living. ``Risk-risk'' situations require a choice among risky alternatives. ``How safe'' situations involve a more general choice as to how much of other desired activities to sacrifice for increased safety. ``How safe'' situations are inherently more difficult to manage, because they are subject to fuzzy thinking and rhetoric. The large uncertainties of current estimates must be conveyed explicitly to arrive at sensible decisions.

description: Short gamma ray bursts are presumably results of binary neutron star mergers, which lead to the formation of a stellar mass black hole, surrounded by a remnant matter. The strong magnetic fields help collimate jets of plasma, launched along the axis of the black hole rotation. We study the structure and evolution of the accreting plasma in the short GRBs and we model the formation of the base of a relativistic, Poynting-dominated jets. Our numerical models are based on the general relativistic MHD, axisymmetric simulations. We discuss the origin of variability in the GRB jet emission, which timescales are related to the action of the magneto-rotational instability in the accreting plasma. We also estimate the value of a maximum achievable Lorentz factor in the jets produced by our simulations, and reached at the large distances, where the gamma ray emission is produced.

Two-photon self-Kerr nonlinearities for quantum computing and quantum optics

description: The self-Kerr interaction is an optical nonlinearity that produces a phase shift proportional to the square of the number of photons in the field. At present, many proposals use nonlinearities to generate photon-photon interactions. For propagating fields these interactions result in undesirable features such as spectral correlation between the photons. Here, we engineer a discrete network composed of cross-Kerr interaction regions to simulate a self-Kerr medium. The medium has effective long-range interactions implemented in a physically local way. We compute the one- and two-photon S matrices for fields propagating in this medium. From these scattering matrices we show that our proposal leads to a high fidelity photon-photon gate. In the limit where the number of nodes in the network tends to infinity, the medium approximates a perfect self-Kerr interaction in the one- and two-photon regime.

description: What skills, attributes, and experiences are needed for a visual journalism job in a contemporary print and digital newsroom? Previous attempts at answering this question examine it through insights from hiring managers or news editors, often collected retrospectively or at arbitrary times of the year through surveys; analyses of position descriptions, which are often framed in normative terms; or through analyzing journalism curricula, which perpetually struggle to adapt nimbly to evolving industry demands. This signaling theory study adopts a novel approach by examining, through qualitative thematic analysis, all applicants’ resumes and cover letters submitted by candidates for a visual journalism job posted in 2019. The hiring organization sought a candidate who could not only tell newsworthy stories through images but also one who could “write their own stories,” “have strong organizational skills,” and be “knowledgeable about current digital technology and applications for smartphone photography.” The results provide insight into the types of applicants who apply to such a position; the skills, attributes, and experiences employers regard as worthy of shortlisting; and the strategies candidates adopted in addressing the position description and selection criteria.

Photometric Redshifts with Surface Brightness Priors

description: We use galaxy surface brightness as prior information to improve photometric redshift (photo-z) estimation. We apply our template-based photo-z method to imaging data from the ground-based VVDS survey and the space-based GOODS field from HST, and use spectroscopic redshifts to test our photometric redshifts for different galaxy types and redshifts. We find that the surface brightness prior eliminates a large fraction of outliers by lifting the degeneracy between the Lyman and 4000 Angstrom breaks. Bias and scatter are improved by about a factor of 2 with the prior for both the ground and space data. Ongoing and planned surveys from the ground and space will benefit, provided that care is taken in measurements of galaxy sizes and in the application of the prior. We discuss the image quality and signal-to-noise requirements that enable the surface brightness prior to be successfully applied.

title: Moving House: Place, Time and the Politics of Urban Relocation in a Taipei Military Village
Creators: name: Tamburo, Elisa
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2023

description: In 1949, the Kuomintang (KMT) was exiled from China to Taiwan, as a result of the Chinese Civil War. Makeshift settlements were built for 600,000 military personnel and their families displaced to Taiwan, creating the so-called “military villages”, or juancun. From the mid-1990s, the government began to reclaim many of these sites and moved residents into new high-rise apartments. This dissertation explores the process of relocation of one of the last inhabited juancun, Zhongxin Village in Taipei, with a longterm ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2015 and 2017. The dissertation primarily asks how the uprooting of political exile, followed by emplacement in a makeshift settlement for sixty years, informs a second displacement in the form of urban relocation. Drawing on studies of urban relocation, time and urban informality, I examine the historical and political formation of the village, the rhythms and personalities of everyday life in the juancun as I encountered them during fieldwork, the temporality of the move from the low-lying village to vertical Taipei, and the subsequent adoption of new ways of living and relating. My main argument is that the relocation of a community that has made place through the experience of the exile for sixty years creates “social disarticulation” in the new setting. I suggest that the gains and the losses incurred during this urban relocation are fully understandable only by taking a longue durée approach, which pertains to the earlier experience of displacement/emplacement. By taking a processual, diachronic approach to repeated displacement, my thesis contributes to anthropological debates on urban relocation, planning and heritage in Asian cities, and to the ethnography of informality in Taipei.

description: Transition metal dichalcogenides hold promise for applications in novel optoelectronic devices. There is therefore a need for materials that can be obtained in large quantities and with well understood optical properties. In this report, we present a thorough photoluminescence (PL) investigations of monolayer tungsten disulphide obtained via liquid phase exfoliation. As shown by microscopy studies, the exfoliated nanosheets have dimensions of tens of nanometers and thickness of 2.5 monolayers on average. The monolayer content is about 20%. Our studies show that at low temperature the photoluminescence is dominated by excitons localized on nanosheet edges. As a consequence, the PL is strongly sensitive to environment and exhibits an enhanced splitting in magnetic field. As the temperature is increased, the excitons are thermally excited out of the defect states and the dominant transition is that of the negatively charged exciton. Furthermore, upon excitation with a circularly polarized light, the PL retains a degree of polarization reaching 50% and inherited from the valley polarized photoexcited excitons. The studies of PL dynamics reveal that the PL lifetime is on the order of 10 ps, probably limited by non-radiative processes. Our results underline the potential of liquid exfoliated TMD monolayers in large scale optoelectronic devices.

description: The 1960 mortality rates for 117 U.S. cities are analyzed to isolate the effect of air pollution. Socioeconomic factors such as race, income, population density, and age mix are accounted for. In previous studies we reported the effect of different functional forms and of adding additional explanatory variables for type of home heating equipment, home heating fuel, water heating fuel, air conditioning, and meterological factors. Occupation mix is now added and results in little change in the estimated air pollution coefficients. These health effects are translated into dollar terms.

Suppression of Bremsstrahlung at Non-Zero Temperature

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The first-order bremsstrahlung emission spectrum is $αdω/ω$ at zero temperature. If the radiation is emitted into a region that contains a thermal distribution of photons, then the rate is increased by a factor $1+N(ω)$ where $N(ω)$ is the Bose-Einstein function. The stimulated emission changes the spectrum to $αTdω/ω^{2}$ for $ω\ll T$. If this were correct, an infinite amount of energy would be radiated in the low frequency modes. This unphysical result indicates a breakdown of perturbation theory. The paper computes the bremsstrahlung rate to all orders of perturbation theory, neglecting the recoil of the charged particle. When the perturbation series is summed, it has a different low-energy behavior. For $ω\llαT$, the spectrum is independent of $ω$ and has a value proportional to $dω/αT$ .

Has Moral Hazard Become a More Important Factor in Managerial Compensation?

description: We estimate a principal-agent model of moral hazard with longitudinal data on firms and managerial compensation over two disjoint periods spanning 60 years to investigate increased value and variability in managerial compensation. We find exogenous growth in firm size largely explains these secular trends in compensation. In our framework, exogenous firm size works through two channels: Conflicts of interest between shareholders and managers are magnified in large firms, so optimal compensation plans are now more closely linked to insider wealth. Also, the market for managers has become more differentiated, increasing the premium paid to managers of large versus small firms.

description: Although T Tauri is one of the most studied young objects in astronomy, the nature of its circumstellar environment remains elusive due, in part, to the small angular separation of its three components (North-South and South a-b are separated by 0.68" and 0.12" respectively). Taking advantage of incredibly stable, high Strehl, PSFs obtained with Mid-IR adaptive optics at the 6.5 meter MMT, we are able to resolve the system on and off the 10um silicate dust feature (8.7um, 10.55um, and 11.86um; 10% bandwidth), and broad N. At these wavelengths, South a-b are separated by only ~0.3 lambda/D. This paper describes a robust Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique to separate all three components astrometrically and photometrically, for the first time, in the mid-IR. Our results show that the silicate feature previously observed in the unresolved T Tau South binary is dominated by T Tau Sa's absorption, while Sb does not appear to have a significant feature. This suggests that a large circumbinary disk around Sa-Sb is not likely the primary source of cool dust in our line-of-sight, and that T Tau Sa is enshrouded by a nearly edge-on circumstellar disk. Surprisingly, T Tau Sb does not appear to have a similarly oriented disk.

description: We propose the theory of transport in a gate-tunable graphene p-n junction, in which the gradient of the carrier density is controlled by the gate voltage. Depending on this gradient and on the density of charged impurities, the junction resistance is dominated by either diffusive or ballistic contribution. We find the conditions for observing ballistic transport and show that in existing devices they are satisfied only marginally. We also simulate numerically the trajectories of charge carriers and illustrate challenges in realizing more delicate ballistic effects, such as Veselago lensing.

description: Energetic particle effects in magnetic confinement fusion devices are commonly studied by hybrid kinetic-fluid simulation codes whose underlying continuum evolution equations often lack the correct energy balance. While two different kinetic-fluid coupling options are available (current-coupling and pressure-coupling), this paper applies the Euler-Poincaré variational approach to formulate a new conservative hybrid model in the pressure-coupling scheme. In our case the kinetics of the energetic particles are described by guiding center theory. The interplay between the Lagrangian fluid paths with phase space particle trajectories reflects an intricate variational structure which can be approached by letting the 4-dimensional guiding center trajectories evolve in the full 6-dimensional phase space. Then, the redundant perpendicular velocity is integrated out to recover a four-dimensional description. A second equivalent variational approach is also reported, which involves the use of phase space Lagrangians. Not only do these variational structures confer on the new model a correct energy balance, but also they produce a cross-helicity invariant which is lost in the other pressure-coupling schemes reported in the literature.

description: Analyzing the one-loop partition function, we discuss possible Kaluza-Klein (KK) states in the orbifold compactification of the heterotic string theory, toward the application to the threshold correction. The KK massive states associated with (relatively) large extra dimensions can arise only in non-prime orbifolds. The GSO projection condition by a shift vector $V^I$ is somewhat relaxed above the compactification scale 1/R. We also present the other condition on Wilson line $W$, $P\cdot W={\rm integer}$. With the knowledge of the partition function, we obtain the threshold corrections to gauge couplings, which include the Wilson line effects. We point out the differences in string and field theoretic orbifolds.

description: Multidrug resistance (MDR) severely hinders the efficient chemotherapeutic treatments of cancer. d-α-Tocopherol polyethylene 1000 succinate (TPGS) based drug delivery system holds the potential of re-sensitizing resistant cancer cells. In this study, a TPGS prodrug containing both TPGS and mitoxantrone (MTO) via a disulphide bond was synthesised and assembled into micelle (TSMm) with a monodispersed diameter of 46.50 ± 1.12 nm. The disulphide bonds within the micelles could be cleaved in response to a high concentration of intracellular glutathione (GSH) after entering the tumour cells, leading a rapid release of MTO. In vitro cytotoxicity study showed TSMm significantly inhibited the growth of resistant breast tumour cells MDA-MB-231/MDR comparing to either free MTO or disulphide-free prodrug micelle (TCMm). In addition, TSMm could sustain favourable intracellular retention and cause the depletion of ATP activity, leading to the preferential transportation of MTO into the nucleus and the reversal of MDR. In vivo imaging also verified that TSMm was specifically targeted to the tumour regions at 24 h post injection. Finally, TSMm has significantly stronger antitumor activity in xenograft nude mice with negligible side effects. Hence, TSMm can serve as promising prodrug candidates to strengthen the reversal of MDR in tumours with less side effects.

description: We consider a combinatorial problem derived from haplotyping a population with respect to a genetic disease, either recessive or dominant. Given a set of individuals, partitioned into healthy and diseased, and the corresponding sets of genotypes, we want to infer “bad” and “good” haplotypes to account for these genotypes and for the disease. Assume, for example, that the disease is recessive. Then, the resolving haplotypes must consist of bad and good haplotypes so that 1) each genotype belonging to a diseased individual is explained by a pair of bad haplotypes and 2) each genotype belonging to a healthy individual is explained by a pair of haplotypes of which at least one is good. We prove that the associated decision problem is NP-complete. However, we also prove that there is a simple solution, provided that the data satisfy a very weak requirement.

On the basis of the critical state model for a superconducting strip, the ac susceptibility $χ_1'+iχ_1''$ of a SC/FM strip exposed to a perpendicular ac magnetic field is theoretically investigated, and the results are compared with those for superconducting strips on nonmagnetic substrates (SC/NM strips). The real part $χ_1'$ for $H_0/j_cd_s\to 0$ (where $H_0$ is the amplitude of the ac magnetic field, $j_c$ is the critical current density, and $d_s$ is the thickness of the superconducting strip) of a SC/FM strip is 3/4 of that of a SC/NM strip. The imaginary part $χ_1''$ (or ac loss $Q$) for $H_0/j_cd_s<0.14$ of a SC/FM strip is larger than that of a SC/NM strip, even when the ferromagnetic hysteresis is neglected, and this enhancement of $χ_1''$ (or $Q$) is due to the edge effect of the ferromagnetic substrate.

description: We consider here the bremsstrahlung emission of photons at low and intermediate energies $ E_{lab}\le 1000 MeV/u$ of the projectile. and derive expressions more general than previous results obtained by Neuhauser which were limited to the case of isotropic systems. We find that the two-photon correlation function strongly depends not only on the space-time properties of the collision region but also on the dynamics of the proton-neutron scattering process in nuclear matter. As a consequence of polarisation correlations it turns out that for a purely chaotic source the intercept of the correlation function of photons can reach the value $3$ (as compared with the maximum value $2$ for isotropic systems). Furthermore even for ``hard" photons ($E_γ > 25 MeV$) the maximum of the correlation function can reach the value of $2$ in contrast with the value of $1.5$ derived by Neuhauser for this case. The formulae obtained in this paper which include also the possible presence of a coherent component can be used as a basis for a systematic analysis of photon intensity-interferometry experiments.

description: We show that the category of representations of the Euclidean group of orientation-preserving isometries of two-dimensional Euclidean space is equivalent to the category of representations of the preprojective algebra of infinite type A. We also consider the moduli space of representations of the Euclidean group along with a set of generators. We show that these moduli spaces are quiver varieties of the type considered by Nakajima. Using these identifications, we prove various results about the representation theory of the Euclidean group. In particular, we prove it is of wild representation type but that if we impose certain restrictions on weight decompositions, we obtain only a finite number of indecomposable representations.

Guilt Proneness and Moral Character

description: Guilt proneness is a personality trait indicative of a predisposition to experience negative feelings about personal wrongdoing, even when the wrongdoing is private. It is characterized by the anticipation of feeling bad about committing transgressions rather than by guilty feelings in a particular moment or generalized guilty feelings that occur without an eliciting event. Our research has revealed that guilt proneness is an important character trait because knowing a person’s level of guilt proneness helps us to predict the likelihood that person will behave unethically. Web-based studies of adults across the United States have shown that people who score high on measures of guilt proneness (compared to low scorers) make fewer unethical business decisions, commit fewer delinquent behaviors, and behave more honestly when making economic decisions. In the workplace, guilt-prone employees are less likely to engage in counterproductive behaviors that harm their organization.
A Faraday Rotation Study of the Stellar Bubble and HII Region Associated with the W4 Complex

description: We utilized the Very Large Array to make multifrequency polarization measurements of 20 radio sources viewed through the IC 1805 HII region and "Superbubble", as well as in the immediate vicinity. The measurements at frequencies between 4.33 and 7.76 GHz yield Faraday rotation measures along 27 lines of sight to these sources (some sources have more than one component). The Faraday rotation measures (RM) are used to probe the plasma structure of the IC 1805 HII region and to test the degree to which the Galactic magnetic field is heavily modified (amplified) by the dynamics of the HII region. We find that similar to the Rosette Nebula (Savage et al. 2013, Costa et al. 2016) and the Cygnus OB1 association (Whiting et al. 2009), IC 1805 constitutes a "Faraday rotation anomaly", or a region of increased RM relative to the general Galactic background value. Although the RM observed on lines of sight through the region vary substantially, the |RM| due to the nebula is commonly 600 -- 800 rad m^-2. In spite of this, the observed RMs are not as large as simple, analytic models of magnetic field amplification in HII regions might indicate. This suggests that the Galactic field is not increased by a substantial factor within the ionized gas in an HII region. We also find that with one exception, the sign of the RM for all sources is that expected for the polarity of the Galactic field in this direction. The same behavior was found for the Rosette Nebula, and qualitatively indicates that turbulent fluctuations in the Galactic field on spatial scales of $\sim 10$ pc are smaller than the mean Galactic field. Finally, our results show intriguing indications that some of the largest values of |RM| occur for lines of sight that pass outside the fully ionized shell of the IC 1805 HII region, but pass through the Photodissociation Region (PDR) associated with IC 1805.
Guiding Principles and Monetary Policy

description: Few subjects in monetary analysis have received more attention than the principles used to guide the conduct of monetary policy. Two types of issues arise frequently in these discussions. One is the issue of strategy. The central bank or monetary authority responds to some events and ignores others. If not by explicit choice, then after the fact, the actions of the monetary authority reflect a strategy chosen from the positions that lie along the spectrum between invariant rules and unrestricted authority. The second is the choice of tactics, or procedures, for carrying out policy. Much of the literature on this issue for the past decade is concerned with the choice of money, interest rates or some combination of money and interest rates as targets or indicators of monetary policy

description: Continuous variable (CV) quantum key distribution (QKD) provides a powerful setting for secure quantum communications, thanks to the use of room-temperature off-the-shelf optical devices and the potential to reach much higher rates than the standard discrete-variable counterpart. In this work, we provide a general framework for studying the composable finite-size security of CV-QKD with Gaussian-modulated coherent-state protocols under various levels of trust for the loss and noise experienced by the parties. Our study considers both wired (i.e., fiber-based) and wireless (i.e., free-space) quantum communications. In the latter case, we show that high key rates are achievable for short-range optical wireless (LiFi) in secure quantum networks with both fixed and mobile devices. Finally, we extend our investigation to microwave wireless (WiFi) discussing security and feasibility of CV-QKD for very short-range applications.

Consequences of a Lambda_c/D enhancement effect on the non-photonic electron nuclear modification factor in central heavy ion collisions at RHIC energy

description: The RHIC experiments have measured the nuclear modification factor R_AA of non-photonic electrons in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s) = 200 GeV. This R_AA exhibits a large suppression for pt > 2 GeV/c which is commonly attributed to heavy-quark energy loss. It is expected that the heavy-quark radiative energy loss is smaller than the light quark one because of the so-called dead-cone effect. An enhancement of the charm baryon yield with respect to the charm meson yield, as it is observed for light and strange hadrons, can explain part of the suppression. This phenomenon has been put forward in a previous work. We present in this paper a more complete study based on a detailed simulation which includes electrons from charm and bottom decay, charm and bottom quark realistic energy loss as well as a more realistic modeling of the Lambda_c/D enhancement. We show that a Lambda_c/D ratio close to unity, as observed for light and strange quarks, could explain 20-25% of the suppression of non-photonic electrons in central Au+Au collisions. This effect remains significant at relatively high non-photonic electron transverse momenta of 8-9 GeV/c.

description: There is growing evidence that some Be stars were spun up through mass transfer in a close binary system, leaving the former mass donor star as a hot, stripped-down object. There are five known cases of Be stars with hot subdwarf (sdO) companions that were discovered through International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) spectroscopy. Here we expand the search for Be+sdO candidates using archival FUV spectra from IUE. We collected IUE spectra for 264 stars and formed cross-correlation functions (CCFs) with a model spectrum for a hot subdwarf. Twelve new candidate Be+sdO systems were found, and eight of these display radial velocity variations associated with orbital motion. The new plus known Be+sdO systems have Be stars with spectral subtypes of B0 to B3, and the lack of later-type systems is surprising given the large number of cooler B-stars in our sample. We discuss explanations for the observed number and spectral type distribution of the Be+sdO systems, and we argue that there are probably many Be systems with stripped companions that are too faint for detection through our analysis.
