Radical Women in Literature: Advancing Progressive Aims or Reinforcing Harmful Beliefs?
Creators: name: Olivia Kersten

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Radical women in literature risk reinforcing sexist and racist notions because of their violence and unconventional actions. But their potential to advance progressive aims can both empower the reader and positively impact feminist movements. Han Kang's Yeong-hye (The Vegetarian) and Gillian Flynn’s Amy Dunne (Gone Girl) are two contemporary examples of radical women. They use self-harm, gender norm subversions, and violence against others to reassert their autonomy and freedom in a society that confines them. Though their actions can make us uncomfortable, the egregious oppression they face should unsettle us more. In terms of their relationship to the #MeToo movement, Yeong-hye and Amy have different capacities as feminist figures. While Amy is limited by her misogynistic tendencies that include false abuse claims and mistreatment of women, Yeong-hye exhibits a greater capability to enlighten the reader to global oppression, symbolized through her relationship with her sister. The ability to advance feminist aims is critical for the #MeToo movement. If Amy’s risks outweigh her benefits, then her actions can reinforce harmful beliefs about liberated women. In contrast, Yeong-hye’s enlightenment of the reader not only raises awareness about oppression, but also raises support for feminist movements.

description: This paper considers optimal social insurance in a dynamic moral hazard economy. The existing literature
has focused on environments in which a planner and a population of agents share the same discount factor. A
key finding is that agents are then almost surely immiserated; their welfare is driven to its lowest bound. Such
immiseration requires a social commitment to treat (almost) everyone arbitrarily badly in the long run. We
argue that this is implausible. We establish an equivalence between optimal allocations in two environments:
those in which the planner lacks commitment and is constrained to choose socially credible policies and those in
which the planner’s discount factor exceeds the agents’. We show that immiseration result no longer holds in the
second environment. Optimal allocations in this environment are characterised by social mobility and a degree
of inequality that it is falling in the planner’s discount factor. The credibility constrained economy inherits the
no immiseration and social mobility properties.
Unusual Magnetotransport from two dimensional Dirac Fermions in Pd$_{3}$Bi$_{2}$Se$_{2}$

description: Pd$_{3}$Bi$_{2}$Se$_{2}$ has been proposed to be topologically non-trivial in nature. However, evidence of its non-trivial behavior is still unexplored. We report the growth and magneto-transport study of Pd$_{3}$Bi$_{2}$Se$_{2}$ thin films, revealing for the first time the contribution of two-dimensional (2D) topological surface states. We observe exceptional non-saturated linear magnetoresistance which results from Dirac fermions inhabiting the lowest Landau level in the quantum limit. The transverse magnetoresistance changes from a semi-classical weak-field $B^{2}$ dependence to a high-field $B$ dependence at a critical field $B^{\star}$. It is found that $B^{\star} \propto T^2$, which is expected from the Landau level splitting of a linear energy dispersion. In addition, the magnetoconductivity shows signatures of 2D weak anti-localization (WAL). These novel magnetotransport signatures evince the presence of 2D Dirac fermions in Pd$_{3}$Bi$_{2}$Se$_{2}$ thin films.

description: Electroweak vector-boson production, accompanied by multiple jets, is an important background to searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. A precise and quantitative understanding of this process is helpful in constraining deviations from known physics. We study four key ratios in $W + n$-jet production at the LHC. We compute the ratio of cross sections for $W + n$- to $W + (n-1)$-jet production as a function of the minimum jet transverse momentum. We also study the ratio differentially, as a function of the $W$-boson transverse momentum; as a function of the scalar sum of the jet transverse energy, $H_T^{\rm jets}$; and as a function of certain jet transverse momenta. We show how to use such ratios to extrapolate differential cross sections to $W+6$-jet production at next-to-leading order, and we cross-check the method against a direct calculation at leading order. We predict the differential distribution in $H_T^{\rm jets}$ for $W+6$ jets at next-to-leading order using such an extrapolation. We use the BlackHat software library together with SHERPA to perform the computations.

description: In the wake of recent measurements of ratios of semileptonic branching fractions: ${\cal R}_{J/ψ}, {\cal R}_D$ and ${\cal R}_{D^*}$ reported by the LHCb, BELLE and HFLAV Collaborations, we calculate invariant form factors for the exclusive semileptonic $B_c$-meson decays to radially excited charmonium and charm meson states in the full kinematical region within the framework of relativistic independent quark (RIQ)model. We evaluate the lepton mass effect in the decay processes induced by $b\to c,u$ transition at the quark level. Our predictions on branching fractions for $B_c\to η_c/ψ(nS)$ are found $\sim10^{-2}-10^{-4}$ and that for $B_c\to D^*(nS)$ are $\sim 10^{-4}$ in their $e^-$ decay modes, which lie within the detection accuracy of current experiment. Our predictions on branching fractions, forward backward asymmetry and asymmetry parameter are found in reasonable agreement with other model predictions; which can hopefully be tested in future experiments at LHC and Tevatron. Our predicted observable ${\cal R}$ in this sector are found comparable to other standard model (SM) predictions that violate the lepton flavor universality hinting at new physics beyond SM.

The Evolution of Fear-Acquisition Strategies during Predation
Creators: name: Bishop,Megan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: People are born both with a general fear response for threatening stimuli (Ohman 2009) and an ability to learn from experience (Olsson 2007) and from others (Bossan et al 2015). Here, I describe a population genetic model I created during my SURF fellowship in 2022 
that considers a trade-off between these two fear-acquisition strategies (innate vs learned) when considering to what degree each strategy evolves: while innate fear does not carry the risk of requiring a predator-prey interaction, it may be too easily triggered because this response is less specific. I ask, how does this trade-off affect the evolution of innate and learned fear-acquisition strategies, and how is the evolution influenced by factors such as predator density, predator threat level, and environmental stability? This presentation describes the empirical justification and beginnings of this model. The data collection and analysis will be conducted during my honors thesis.

description: The quest to detect prebiotic molecules in space, notably amino acids, requires an understanding of the chemistry involving nitrogen atoms. Hydroxylamine (NH$_2$OH) is considered a precursor to the amino acid glycine. Although not yet detected, NH$_2$OH is considered a likely target of detection with ALMA. We report on an experimental investigation of the formation of hydroxylamine on an amorphous silicate surface via the oxidation of ammonia. The experimental data are then fed into a simulation of the formation of NH$_2$OH in dense cloud conditions. On ices at 14 K and with a modest activation energy barrier, NH$_2$OH is found to be formed with an abundance that never falls below a factor 10 with respect to NH$_3$. Suggestions of conditions for future observations are provided.

description: We consider the optimization of the work output and fluctuations of a finite-time quantum Otto heat engine cycle consisting of compression and expansion work strokes of unequal duration. The asymmetry of the cycle is characterized by a parameter $r_u$ giving the ratio of the times for the compression and expansion work strokes. For such an asymmetric quantum Otto engine cycle, with working substance chosen as a harmonic oscillator or a two-level system, we find that the optimal values of $r_u$ maximising the work output and the reliability (defined as the ratio of average work output to its standard deviation) shows discontinuities as a function of the total time taken for the cycle. Moreover we identify cycles of some specific duration where both the work output and the reliability take their largest values for the same value of the asymmetry parameter $r_u$.

description: There are two main problems in the oil or energy situation. First, we don't know, yet, what the Arabs will do. Second, we don't know what we will do if the Arab response changes. In fact, we don't know yet what we are going to do. The firing of Love and his replacement by Simon is, I believe, a constructive move. It is now clear that the administration (or Simon's) plan is to provide fuel for industry by cutting back on consumers. No gasoline rationing is planned until spring, and the decision to ration is said to depend on our success with the Arabs. Some price increases will be permitted. This is better than the vacillating and uncertainty under Love.

description: The Prisoner's Dilemma is a mixed-motive situation in which noncooperative shortrun maximizing behavior is inconsistent with long-run (cooperative) maximization. It has been investigated experimentally under various conditions, and the literature is summarized in Lave (1965), Rapoport and Onvant (1962), and Gallo and McClintock ( 1965). One version of the situation is illustrated in Matrix I of Table 1. The payoffs to player A, identified by the strategies of A and B respectively, can be ranked from the most to the least preferred: (2,1), (1,1), (2,2), and (1,2). This ranking shows the structure of the game: no matter which strategy the other player chooses, a subject prefers the payoffs resulting from strategy 2. In a one-trial game, (2,2) begins to take on the character of a unique solution.

description: Recently, in the Luttinger liquid phase of the one-dimensional generalized antiferromagnetic Kitaev spin-1/2 model, it has been found that the abelian bosonization formulas of the local spin operators only respect the exact discrete nonsymmorphic symmetry group of the model, not the emergent U(1) symmetry. In this work, we perform a renormalization group (RG) study to provide explanations for the origin of the U(1) breaking terms in the bosonization formulas. We find that the lack of U(1) symmetry originates from the wavefunction renormalization effects in the spin operators along the RG flow induced by the U(1) breaking interactions in the microscopic Hamiltonian. In addition, the RG analysis can give predictions to the signs and order of magnitudes of the coefficients in the bosonization formulas. Our work is helpful to understand the rich nonsymmorphic physics in one-dimensional Kitaev spin models.

Atmospheric Rivers Bring More Frequent and Intense Extreme Rainfall Events Over East Asia Under Global Warming

description: Portions of East Asia often experienced extremely heavy rainfall events over the last decade. Intense atmospheric rivers (ARs), eddy transports of moisture over the middle latitudes, contributed significantly to these events. Although previous studies pointed out that landfalling ARs will become more frequent under global warming, the extent to which ARs produce extreme rainfall over East Asia in a warmer climate remains unclear. Here we evaluate changes in the frequency and intensity of AR-related extreme heavy rainfall under global warming using a set of high-resolution global and regional atmospheric simulations. We find that both the AR-related water vapor transport and rainfall intensify over the southern and western slopes of mountains over East Asia in a warmer climate. ARs are responsible for a large fraction of the increase in the occurrence of extreme rainfall in boreal spring and summer. ARs will bring unprecedented extreme rainfall over East Asia under global warming.
Outward Motion of Porous Dust Aggregates by Stellar Radiation Pressure in Protoplanetary Disks

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: We study the dust motion at the surface layer of protoplanetary disks. Dust grains in surface layer migrate outward due to angular momentum transport via gas-drag force induced by the stellar radiation pressure. In this study, we calculate mass flux of the outward motion of compact grains and porous dust aggregates by the radiation pressure. The radiation pressure force for porous dust aggregates is calculated using the T-Matrix Method for the Clusters of Spheres. First, we confirm that porous dust aggregates are forced by strong radiation pressure even if they grow to be larger aggregates in contrast to homogeneous and spherical compact grains to which efficiency of radiation pressure becomes lower when their sizes increase. In addition, we find that the outward mass flux of porous dust aggregates with monomer size of 0.1 $μ$m is larger than that of compact grains by an order of magnitude at the disk radius of 1 AU, when their sizes are several microns. This implies that large compact grains like calcium-aluminum rich inclusions (CAIs) are hardly transported to outer region by stellar radiation pressure, whereas porous dust aggregates like chondritic-porous interplanetary dust particles (CP-IDPs) are efficiently transported to comet formation region. Crystalline silicates are possibly transported in porous dust aggregates by stellar radiation pressure from inner hot region to outer cold cometary region in the protosolar nebula.

description: Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are an important concern in regional water management; however, little is known about the AR impacts on hydrology in East Asia (EA). This study analyzes the characteristics of storms, precipitation (P), streamflow (Q), and runoff coefficient (R) in the Namgang-dam basin in Korea related to ARs for 2000–2013, as well as the sensitivity of the analysis results to AR detection methods, using observed P, Q, and three different AR inventories. The basin experiences 37.3 storms annually, of which 54% are AR storms that provide over 60% of the annual P and Q. The AR (non-AR) storms are dominant in storm frequency and the storm-total P and Q for January–July (August–December) with peaks in July (August). The monthly AR frequency varies closely with the seasonal variations in the EA monsoon and the North Pacific storm track which modulate the number of extratropical cyclones. The AR storms produce most of the extreme events; they also generate larger storm-mean P and Q than the non-AR storms for all months. The seasonal variations in R are related to the total (AR- and non-AR storms combined) P through the seasonal soil water variations, making the AR effects on R unclear. Considering 95% confidence intervals, the AR storms are distinguished well from the non-AR storms in storm frequency and the storm-total and storm-mean P and Q. The sensitivity to AR inventories is not critical in quantifying the AR-storm characteristics and their impacts on hydrologic variables except for R.

description: Atmospheric rivers (ARs), which are narrow water vapor transport bands over the mid-latitudes, often have great socio-economic impacts over East Asia. Although summertime AR activity over East Asia is strongly induced by preceding-winter El Niño development, the extent to which seasonal transitions of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) from winter to summer affect the AR activity remains unclear. Here, we examine the relationship between the seasonal transitions of ENSO and the summertime AR activity over East Asia using an atmospheric reanalysis and high-resolution atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) ensemble simulations. A rapid transition from preceding-winter El Niño to summertime La Niña results in more AR occurrence over northern East Asia via the northward expansion of an anomalous low-level anticyclone over the western North Pacific compared with sustained or decayed El Niño cases. The northward expansion of the anticyclone is consistent with a steady response of the atmosphere to the anomalous condensation heating over the Maritime Continent and equatorial Pacific. Meridional positions of the extratropical AR occurrence and circulation anomalies are different between the reanalysis and AGCM simulations, which is possibly contributed by a limited sample size and/or AGCM biases and suggests that the seasonal prediction of AR-related natural disaster risk over East Asia on a regional scale remains a challenge.

description: We consider the Stokes resolvent problem in a two-dimensional bounded Lipschitz domain $Ω$ subject to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove $\mathrm{L}^p$-resolvent estimates for $p$ satisfying the condition $\lvert 1 / p - 1 / 2 \rvert < 1 / 4 + \varepsilon$ for some $\varepsilon > 0$. We further show that the Stokes operator admits the property of maximal regularity and that its $\mathrm{H}^{\infty}$-calculus is bounded. This is then used to characterize domains of fractional powers of the Stokes operator. Finally, we give an application to the regularity theory of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in bounded planar Lipschitz domains.

description: In Study 1, participants completed five extant shame and guilt proneness inventories based on different theoretical conceptions of the difference between shame and guilt. Factor analyses revealed that despite very different theoretical distinctions, the shame proneness subscales loaded on one factor, and the guilt proneness subscales loaded on one factor. In Study 2, we altered scale items so that hypothetical transgressions were committed in either public or private, and likelihood response options were either typical of a “shame-prone response” (negative self-evaluation; avoidance behavior) or a “guilt-prone response” (negative behavior evaluation; approach behavior). Our findings indicate that shame and guilt proneness can be measured both by responses to transgressions (e.g., negative self-evaluation and avoidance responses vs. negative behavior evaluation and approach responses) and the situational context in which the transgression occurs (e.g., public vs. private). We provide recommendations regarding optimal measurement of shame and guilt proneness.

description: A growing number of transient X-ray obscuration events in type I AGN suggest that our line-of-sight to the central engine is not always free. Multiple X-ray obscuration events have been reported in the nearby Seyfert 1.5 galaxy NGC 3227 from 2000 to 2016. In late 2019, another X-ray obscuration event was identified with Swift. Two coordinated target-of-opportunity observations with XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and HST/COS were triggered in Nov. and Dec. 2019 to study this obscuration event. For each observation, we analyze the time-averaged X-ray spectra. We perform photoionization modeling with the SPEX code, which allows us to constrain the intrinsic continuum simultaneously with various photoionized absorption and emission components. Similar to previous transient X-ray obscuration events in NGC 3227, the one caught in late 2019 is short-lived (less than five months). If the obscurer has only one photoionized component, the two X-ray observations in late 2019 cannot be explained by the same obscurer that responds to the varying ionizing continuum. Due to the unknown geometry of the obscurer, its number density and distance to the black hole cannot be well constrained. The inferred distance covers at least two orders of magnitude, from the BLR to the dusty torus. Unlike some other X-ray obscuration events in Seyfert galaxies like NGC 5548 and NGC 3783, no prominent blueshifted broad absorption troughs were found in the 2019 HST/COS spectra of NGC 3227 when compared with archival UV spectra. This might be explained if the X-ray obscurer does not intercept our line of sight to (a significant portion of) the UV emitting region. It is not straightforward to understand the variety of the observational differences in the X-ray obscuration events observed so far. Future observations with high-quality data are needed to unveil the nature of the X-ray obscuration events. [shortend for arXiv]

description: The aim of this task is to create a reference platform instantiation of the PLATOON reference architecture defined in D2.1 (V1) and D2.5 (V2) using the Open-Source Components developed in WP2, WP3 and WP4. The PLATOON reference architecture specifies the main building blocks for the interoperability between heterogeneous digital platforms and analytics tools for energy that are based on different technologies. The reference instantiation conducted in this task serves as a proof-of-concept for the PLATOON reference architecture and also as a testbed for doing an integration test of the different open-source components explained in D5.5. Software solutions such as Docker and Swarmpit are discussed and how they assist system administrators with the deployment and support of the different components. In addition, implementation details of the platform instantiation are discussed in detail.

Ocean warming pattern effects on future changes in East Asian atmospheric rivers
Creators: name: Kamae, Y.

Publisher: name: IOP Publishing Ltd
Year: 2019

description: Atmospheric rivers (ARs), intense water vapor transports associated with extra-tropical cyclones, frequently bring heavy rainfalls over mid-latitudes. Over East Asia, landfalling ARs result in major socio-economic impacts including widespread floods and landslides; for example, western Japan heavy rainfall in July 2018 killed more than 200 people. Using results of high-resolution atmospheric model ensemble simulations, we examine projected future change in summertime AR frequency over East Asia. Different sea surface temperature (SST) warming patterns derived from six atmosphere-ocean coupled model simulations were assumed to represent uncertainty in future SST projections. The rate of increase in the frequency of landfalling ARs over summertime East Asia is on average 0.9% K-1 and is dependent on SST warming patterns. Stronger warming over the North Indian Ocean and South China Sea or weaker warming over the tropical central Pacific produce more frequent landfalling ARs over East Asia. These patterns are similar to the co-variability of SST, atmospheric circulation, and ARs over the western North Pacific found on the interannual time scale. The results of this study suggest that the natural disaster risk related to landfalling ARs should increase over East Asia under global warming and SSTs over the Indo-Pacific region holds the key for a quantitative projection.

description: It has been shown that concession timing can influence a negotiator’s satisfaction with
and judgment of the negotiation partner, the quality of the object, and the agreed upon price
(Kwon & Weingart, 2004). This study tested whether the concession timing effect holds when a
negotiator believes the other party is cooperatively oriented. The results suggest that a
negotiator’s belief about the other party’s social motive overrides the concession timing effect.
Specifically, if the other party was believed to be cooperative, negotiators did not feel
dissatisfied with the outcome or the negotiating partner, did not evaluate the quality and value of
the object as being low, and perceived the negotiating partner as credible, even when the other
party made early concessions.

description: In the present paper we are interested in analyzing the pairwise entanglement in quantum dots, as ququart systems, naturally described by the Fermi-Hubbard model. Using the lower bound of concurrence we show the effect of the Coulomb interaction on the pairwise entanglement and creating entanglement within the pairs. Specifically, it is shown that the range of entanglement can be extended to the third neighboring site for a system size of $L=4$, while for $L>4$ the range could be created and extended to the third neighboring site by means of the Coulomb interaction. A rigorous description of the pairs is given in terms of a local half filled state associated to each pair with an electron number $N=2$ and a spin $S=0$. A thorough study of this state provides a proper explanation related to the pairwise entanglement, namely its amount and its behavior under the effect of the Coulomb interaction as well as the system's size.

description: Context. The Pipe nebula is a molecular cloud that lacks star formation feedback and has a relatively simple morphology and velocity structure. This makes it an ideal target to test cloud evolution through collisions. Aims. We aim at drawing a comprehensive picture of this relatively simple cloud to better understand the formation and evolution of molecular clouds on large scales. Methods. We use archival data to compare the optical polarization properties, the visual extinction, and the 13CO velocities and linewidths of the entire cloud in order to identify trends among the observables. Results. The Pipe nebula can be roughly divided in two filaments with different orientations and gas velocity ranges: E-W at 2-4 km s-1 and N-S at 6-7 km s-1. The two filaments overlap at the bowl, where the gas shows a velocity gradient spanning from 2 to 7 km s-1. Compared to the rest of the Pipe nebula, the bowl gas appears to be denser and exhibits larger linewidths. In addition, the polarization data at the bowl shows lower angular dispersion and higher polarization degree. Cores in the bowl tend to cluster in space and tend to follow the 13CO velocity gradient. In the stem, cores tend to cluster in regions with properties similar to those of the bowl. Conclusions. The velocity pattern points to a collision between the filaments in the bowl region. The magnetic field seems to be compressed and strengthened in the shocked region. The proportional increase of density and magnetic field strength by a factor similar to the Alfvénic Mach number suggests a continuous shock at low Alfvénic Mach number under flux-freezing. Shocked regions seem to enhance the formation and clustering of dense cores.

description: In this work, we introduce a new design concept: the DC-Coupled Resistive Silicon Detectors, based on the LGAD technology. This new approach intends to address a few known features of the first generation of AC-Coupled Resistive Silicon Detectors (RSD). Our simulation exploits a fast hybrid approach based on a combination of two packages, Weightfield2 and LTSpice. It demonstrates that the key features of the RSD design are maintained, yielding excellent timing and spatial resolutions: a few tens of ps and a few microns. In the presentation, we will outline the optimization methodology and the results of the simulation. We will present detailed studies on the effect of changing the ratio between the n+ layer resistivity and the low-resistivity ring and on the achievable temporal and spatial resolution.

description: For almost two centuries economists have recognized that changes in the quantity of money have a delayed or lagged effect on wages, output, prices or gold flows. Recently there have been a number of attempts to measure some of the lags and to suggest the importance of the lags for monetary policy. I will make no attempt to summarize each of the many studies or to comment on the variety of procedures that have been used to generate particular estimates. Instead, I will discuss sons of the main conclusions and their relation to the problem of conducting monetary policy.

description: The baseband-up centralization architecture of radio access networks (C-RAN) has recently been proposed to support efficient cooperative communications and reduce deployment and operational costs. However, the massive fronthaul bandwidth required to aggregate baseband samples from remote radio heads (RRHs) to the central office incurs huge fronthauling cost, and existing baseband compression algorithms can hardly solve this issue. In this paper, we propose a graphbased framework to effectively reduce fronthauling cost through properly splitting and placing baseband processing functions in the network. Baseband transceiver structures are represented with directed graphs, in which nodes correspond to baseband functions, and edges to the information flows between functions. By mapping graph weighs to computational and fronthauling costs, we transform the problem of finding the optimum location to place some baseband functions into the problem of finding the optimum clustering scheme for graph nodes. We then solve this problem using a genetic algorithm with customized fitness function and mutation module. Simulation results show that proper splitting and placement schemes can significantly reduce fronthauling cost at the expense of increased computational cost. We also find that cooperative processing structures and stringent delay requirements will increase the possibility of centralized placement.

description: The chaos bound in the near-horizon regions has been studied through the expansions of the metric functions on the horizon. In this paper, we investigate the chaos bound in the the near-horizon region and at a certain distance from the horizon of a charged Kiselev black hole. The value of the Lyapunov exponent is accurately calculated by a Jacobian matrix. The angular momentum of a charged particle around the black hole affects not only the exponent, but also the position of the equilibrium orbit. This position gradually moves away from the horizon with the increase of the angular momentum. We find that the the bound is violated at a certain distance from the horizon and there is no violation in the near-horizon region when the charge mass ratio of the particle is fixed. The small value of the normalization factor is more likely to cause the violation.

description: Many risks have the property that large numbers of people are exposed and have little or no individual control over the risks they face. Dams, nuclear power plants, and recombinant DNA research have proven controversial not simply because there is vast uncertainty about the true level of risk associated with each, but because a fundamental issue is that in each case social risks can be lessened by spending more on safety: dams can be designed to withstand larger earthquakes, nuclear plants can have additional safety equipment, and DNA research could be done in yet more carefully isolated laboratories. Since each person will have preferences regarding the proper trade-off between increased cost and increased safety, there is little possibility of consensus. More importantly, we show that a voting process for expressing individual preferences can be manipulated and is seriously flawed in the sense that it does not lead to an “efficient” outcome. In addition, we show that virtually all people are unhappy with the safety decision, in the sense that each would prefer either a safer or a cheaper outcome. Thus, making safety decisions that affect a large group of people who will not be able to control the outcome is even more difficult than has been appreciated. We suggest some ways of handling some of the difficulties.

description: Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI QKD) offers great security in practice because it removes all detector side channels. However, conducting MDI QKD over free-space channels is challenging. One of the largest culprits is the mismatched transmittance of the two independent turbulent channels causing a reduced Hong-Ou-Mandel visibility and thus a lower secret key rate. Here we introduce a dynamic attenuation scheme, where the transmittance of each of the two channels is monitored in real time by transmitting bright light pulses from each users to the measurement device. Based on the measured channel transmittance, a suitable amount of attenuation is introduced to the low-loss channel at the measurement device. Our simulation results show a significant improvement of QKD performance, especially when using short raw keys.

description: In the seventies, Balas introduced intersection cuts for a
Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP), and showed that these cuts can
be obtained by a closed form formula from a basis of the standard linear programming relaxation. In the early nineties, Cook, Kannan and
Schrijver introduced the split closure of an MILP, and showed that the
split closure is a polyhedron. In this paper, we show that the split closure can be obtained using only intersection cuts. We give two different
proofs of this result, one geometric and one algebraic. Furthermore, the
result is used to provide a new proof of the fact that the split closure
is a polyhedron. Finally, we extend the result to more general two-term
disjunctions.

description: We measure the adsorption height of hydrogen-intercalated quasi-free-standing monolayer graphene on the (0001) face of 6H silicon carbide by the normal incidence x-ray standing wave technique. A density functional calculation for the full ($6 \sqrt{3} \times 6 \sqrt{3}$)-R30$^\circ$ unit cell, based on a van der Waals corrected exchange correlation functional, finds a purely physisorptive adsorption height in excellent agreement with experiments, a very low buckling of the graphene layer, a very homogeneous electron density at the interface and the lowest known adsorption energy per atom for graphene on any substrate. A structural comparison to other graphenes suggests that hydrogen intercalated graphene on 6H-SiC(0001) approaches ideal graphene.

description: When changes occur, people do not know how long they will persist. Using  a simple stochastic structure that incorporates temporary and permanent  changes in an augmented IS-LM model, we show that rising prices and  rising unemployment — stagflation is likely to follow a large permanent  reduction in productivity. All markets clear and all expectations are  rational. People learn gradually the permanent values which the economy  will reach following a permanent shock and gradually adjust  anticipations. In our model, optimally perceived permanent values take  the form of a Koyck lag of past observations.
