description: How do private returns to inventive activity change when IPR regimes are substantially strengthened? Our paper investigates this question by looking at the impact of patent reforms in India on India-based pharmaceutical companies. In a fundamental policy shift, India agreed to introduce product patents for pharmaceuticals when it signed the WTO TRIPS treaty in 1995. This policy came into effect through an enabling legislation in 2000 and a final implementation in 2005. The dataset is a panel of 315 pharmaceutical firms from 1990 to 2005. Private returns of a firm are measured using a hedonic stock market valuation of the tangible total assets (A) and intangible inventive assets (K). The intangible assets are measured by stocks of R & D expenditure at various literature specified depreciation rates. We normalize our intangibles with total assets, while using controls like firm sales and aggregate industry dummies in our estimations. Our analysis covers stratified industry subsets and watershed periods to capture effects of regime changes. The method of estimation involves pooled OLS regressions with time dummies and fixed effects to account for firm-specific unobserved heterogeneity. We also use non-linear least squares with first differences as a robustness check for our results. The findings reveal a monotonic increase in private returns to inventive activity, with returns peaking around 2005, the year in which product patents were introduced in India. An increase in depreciation rates of R & D implying higher obsolescence of R & D activities results in increasing returns to R & D for various subsets of the industry. This provides early evidence of the markets positively valuing more recent R & D activities as firms shift their research capabilities with changes in the patent regime. The coefficient estimates of K/As, our primary independent variable, conform to previous results from studies on market value of innovation in various economies and industries.

description: In this paper we deal with the problem of extending Zadeh's operators on fuzzy sets (FSs) to interval-valued (IVFSs), set-valued (SVFSs) and type-2 (T2FSs) fuzzy sets. Namely, it is known that seeing FSs as SVFSs, or T2FSs, whose membership degrees are singletons is not order-preserving. We then describe a family of lattice embeddings from FSs to SVFSs. Alternatively, if the former singleton viewpoint is required, we reformulate the intersection on hesitant fuzzy sets and introduce what we have called closed-valued fuzzy sets. This new type of fuzzy sets extends standard union and intersection on FSs. In addition, it allows handling together membership degrees of different nature as, for instance, closed intervals and finite sets. Finally, all these constructions are viewed as T2FSs forming a chain of lattices.
Quantifying Morphological Evolution from Low to High Redshifts

description: Establishing the morphological history of ordinary galaxies was one of the original goals for the Hubble Space Telescope, and remarkable progress toward achieving this this goal has been made. How much of this progress has been at the expense of the Hubble sequence? As we probe further out in redshift space, it seems time to re-examine the underlying significance of Hubble's tuning fork in light of the the spectacular and often bizarre morphological characteristics of high redshift galaxies. The aim of this review is to build a morphological bridge between high-redshift and low-redshift galaxy populations, by using quantitative morphological measures to determine the maximum redshift for which the Hubble sequence provides a meaningful description of the galaxy population. I will outline the various techniques used to quantify high-redshift galaxy morphology, highlight the aspects of the Hubble sequence being probed by these techniques, and indicate what is getting left behind. I will argue that at higher redshifts new techniques (and new ideas) that place less emphasis on classical morphology and more emphasis on the link between morphology and resolved stellar populations are needed in order to probe the evolutionary history of high-redshift galaxies.

description: Two conformations of isolated single TBrPP-Co molecules on a Cu(111) surface are switched by applying +2.2 V voltage pulses from a scanning tunneling microscope tip at 4.6 K. The TBrPP-Co has a spin-active cobalt atom caged at its center and the interaction between the spin of this cobalt atom and free electrons from the Cu(111) substrate can cause a Kondo resonance. Tunneling spectroscopy data reveal that switching from the saddle to a planar molecular conformation enhances spin-electron coupling, which increases the associated Kondo temperature from 130 K to 170 K. This result demonstrates that the Kondo temperature can be manipulated just by changing molecular conformation without altering chemical composition of the molecule.

title: Crossing the disciplinary divides to support Natural Flood Management Delivery
Creators: name: Wingfield, Thea
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2024

description: Flood frequency has increased across the globe as a result of human activities including, in certain circumstances, the use of flood and drainage infrastructure. Natural Flood Management (NFM) is a holistic flood management approach that works with “natural” hydrological processes to slow and store water in the landscape, delivering multiple benefits including water quality, biodiversity and amenity improvements. Despite the potential benefits of NFM, it has yet to be adopted as a mainstream flood management strategy; this transdisciplinary research aims to investigate why. Practitioners’ perspectives on barriers, and their importance in restricting delivery were explored and mapped via a process of social learning, using a novel adapted methodology, “Group concept mapping with Ketso”. Three detailed case studies of NFM delivery were examined to explore whether perceived barriers were found in practice. A systems thinking analysis then drew together both methods in a process of transdisciplinary integration that showed flood risk management practitioners were deterred from actively participating in NFM planning or delivery as a result of an inflexible, unsupportive, funding framework. The research concludes with the proposition that in reframing NFM as ‘hydrodiversity restoration’, an opportunity exists to encourage greater collaboration between multiple sectors, whilst creating alternative methods to demonstrate and measure the effectiveness of NFM.

description: Imagine a world in which consumers’ preferences can be so precisely estimated by observing their online behavior, that firms are able to anticipate consumers’ needs, offering the right product at exactly the right time. Imagine that same world, but now consider that extensive knowledge of consumers’ preferences also allows precise inferences about their reservation prices (the maximum price each consumer will pay for a good), so that firms can charge different prices for the same product to each of their buyers, and absorb the entire surplus arising from an economic transaction. Imagine a world in which the collection and analysis of individual health data allow researchers to discover the causes of rare deceases and the cures for common ones. Now, consider the same world, but imagine that employers are able to predict job candidates’ future health conditions from few data points extracted from the latter’s social network profiles – and then, imagine those employers making hiring decision based on those predictions, without the candidate’s consent or even awareness. The economics of privacy attempts to study the costs and benefits associated with personal information – for the data subject, the data holder, and for society as a whole. As a field of research, it has been active for some decades. Progresses in data mining, business analytics, and so-called big data, have the potential for magnifying the size and augmenting the scope of economic benefits and dangers alike. This chapter overviews the growing body of theoretical and empirical research on the economics and behavioral economics of privacy, and discusses how these streams of research can be applied to the investigation of the implications of consumer data mining and business analytics. Among the many possible interpretations of privacy, this capture focuses on its informational aspects: the trade-offs arising from the protection or disclosure of personal data.

description: We calculate the angular distribution and total cross section of the ^{7}Be fragment emitted in the break up reaction of ^{8}B on ^{58}Ni and ^{208}Pb targets at the subCoulomb beam energy of 25.8 MeV, within the non-relativistic theory of Coulomb excitation with proper three-body kinematics. The relative contributions of the E1, E2 and M1 multipolarities to the cross sections are determined. The E2 component makes up about 65% and 40% of the ^{7}Be total cross section for the ^{58}Ni and ^{208}Pb targets respectively. We find that the extraction of the astrophysical S-factor, S_{17}(0), for the ^{7}Be(p,γ)^8B reaction at solar energies from the measurements of the cross sections of the ^{7}Be fragment in the Coulomb dissociation of ^{8}B at sub-Coulomb energies is still not free from the uncertainties of the E2 component.

description: We aim to perform a theoretical evaluation of the impact of the mass loss indetermination on asteroseismic grid based estimates of masses, radii, and ages of stars in the red giant branch phase (RGB). We adopted the SCEPtER pipeline on a grid spanning the mass range [0.8; 1.8] Msun. As observational constraints, we adopted the star effective temperatures, the metallicity [Fe/H], the average large frequency spacing $Δν,$ and the frequency of maximum oscillation power $ν_{\rm max}$. The mass loss was modelled following a Reimers parametrization with the two different efficiencies $η= 0.4$ and $η= 0.8$. In the RGB phase, the average error owing only to observational uncertainty on mass and age estimates is about 8% and 30% respectively. The bias in mass and age estimates caused by the adoption of a wrong mass loss parameter in the recovery is minor for the vast majority of the RGB evolution. The biases get larger only after the RGB bump. In the last 2.5% of the RGB lifetime the error on the mass determination reaches 6.5% becoming larger than the random error component in this evolutionary phase. The error on the age estimate amounts to 9%, that is, equal to the random error uncertainty. These results are independent of the stellar metallicity [Fe/H] in the explored range. Asteroseismic-based estimates of stellar mass, radius, and age in the RGB phase can be considered mass loss independent within the range ($η\in [0.0, 0.8]$) as long as the target is in an evolutionary phase preceding the RGB bump.

description: We consider the problem of estimation of solution of convolution equation on observations blurred a random noise. The noise is a product of Gaussian stationary process and a weight function $epsilon h in L_2(R1)$ with constant $epsilon > 0$. The presence of weight function $h$ makes the power of noise finite on $R1$. This allows to suppose that the power of solution is also finite. For this model we find asymptotically minimax and Bayes estimators. The solution is supposed infinitely differentiable. The model with solutions having finite number of derivatives was studied in [5].

The algorithm produces monotonically increasing approximations of the Snell envelope, which coincide with the Snell envelope after finitely many steps. Contrary to backward dynamic programming, the algorithm allows to calculate approximative solutions with only a few nestings of conditionals expectations and is, therefore, tailor-made for a plain Monte-Carlo implementation.

description: We consider two different constructions of higher brackets. First, based on a Grassmann-odd, nilpotent Δoperator, we define a non-commutative generalization of the higher Koszul brackets, which are used in a generalized Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra, and we show that they form a homotopy Lie algebra. Secondly, we investigate higher, so-called derived brackets built from symmetrized, nested Lie brackets with a fixed nilpotent Lie algebra element Q. We find the most general Jacobi-like identity that such a hierarchy satisfies. The numerical coefficients in front of each term in these generalized Jacobi identities are related to the Bernoulli numbers. We suggest that the definition of a homotopy Lie algebra should be enlarged to accommodate this important case. Finally, we consider the Courant bracket as an example of a derived bracket. We extend it to the "big bracket" of exterior forms and multi-vectors, and give closed formulas for the higher Courant brackets.

description: Researchers have often tried to learn about the meaning of designs on Mimbres pottery by looking at what is depicted and speculating about what it might have meant. For example, we know they depict both animals that were eaten (such as rabbits) and animals that probably were not eaten (such as swallows). Now, thanks to a digital database known as MimPIDD (Mimbres Pottery Images Digital Database), we can test some of these ideas systematically by examining the association of designs with certain proveniences and contexts. The Mimbres Pottery Analysis Exercise worksheet uses the Mimbres Pottery Images Digital Database (MimPIDD) housed on tDAR to evaluate the hypothesis at a larger level, by comparing two different sites, known as Eby and Swarts. Data for this exercise include information about and photos of 10 bowls from each site. For purposes of this exercise, you can assume is a representative sample.

description: Uncertainty Quantification through stochastic spectral methods is rising in popularity. We derive a modification of the classical stochastic Galerkin method, that ensures the hyperbolicity of the underlying hyperbolic system of partial differential equations. The modification is done using a suitable "slope" limiter, based on similar ideas in the context of kinetic moment models. We apply the resulting modified stochastic Galerkin method to the compressible Euler equations and the $M_1$ model of radiative transfer. Our numerical results show that it can compete with other UQ methods like the intrusive polynomial moment method while being computationally inexpensive and easy to implement.
Some Musings on Globular Cluster Systems

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Globular cluster systems exhibit a bewildering variety of characteristics. No single scenario appears to be able to account for the wide range of specific globular cluster frequencies that are observed in galaxies of various types. The fraction of all star formation that produces massive bound clusters differs from galaxy to galaxy, and (in some cases) appears to vary with time. Presently available data strongly suggest that the specific cluster forming frequency is highest during violent bursts of star formation. Globular cluster systems show a wide variety of color (metallicity) distributions, with many luminous galaxies having double (or even multiple) metallicity peaks that were probably produced during distinct episodes of cluster formation. The bulk of the globulars in the main body of the Galactic halo appear to have formed during a single short-lived burst that took place ~ 13 Gyr ago. This was followed by a second, perhaps more extended, burst associated with the formation of the Galactic bulge. A few metal-rich clusters may also be associated with the formation of the Galactic Thick Disk. Finally many of the clusters beyond RGc ? 15 kpc might have been formed in dwarf spheroidal galaxies that, after a few Gyr, were accreted by the main body of the Galactic halo. Some of these outer clusters are younger, and less luminous, than the majority of globular clusters formed at smaller Galactocentric distances.

 SLIDE: Genitalia and abdomen on slide n° 19 (Box Diptera Rondani 3): Melieria parmensis Soós des., Paralectotypus n. 1597.
 CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Hypochra parmensis (Soós 1984c: 50, Belcari et al. 1995b: 6); valid species, as Melieria parmensis (Kameneva 1997: 41).
 REMARKS: Rondani (1869a: 19) described Melieria parmensis without specifying the number, the sex or the length of the specimens he had collected and also received from L. Bellardi, F.M. Piccioli and A.H. Haliday. Soós (1983: 255) designated a lectotype (♂) and paralectotypes (1 ♂, 2 ♀♀). Not included by him in the type series is an additional MZUF specimen numbered “1597”, presumably because its label is yellowish rather than the greenish color of Rondani’s original handwritten ones and thus could be a later addition.

We consider the case with centrifugal force only, and use a transformation method in which the governing equation for the "pseudo-potential" (from which the magnetic field can be calculated) becomes the Laplace partial differential equation. The new solutions extend the set of previously found solutions to those of a "fractional multipole" nature, and offer wider possibilities for modelling than before. We consider some special cases, and present example solutions.

description: We consider in detail the analytic behaviour of the non-interacting massless scalar field two-point function in H.S. Snyder's discretized non-commuting spacetime. The propagator we find is purely real on the Euclidean side of the complex $p^2$ plane and goes like $1/p^2$ as $p^2\to 0$ from either the Euclidean or Minkowski side. The real part of the propagator goes smoothly to zero as $p^2$ increases to the discretization scale $1/a^2$ and remains zero for $p^2>1/a^2$. This behaviour is consistent with the termination of single-particle propagation on the ultraviolet side of the discretization scale. The imaginary part of the propagator, consistent with a multiparticle-production branch discontinuity, is finite and continuous on the Minkowski side, slowly falling to zero when $1/a^2

description: As social networking sites (SNSs) gain in popularity, instances of regrets following online (over)sharing continue to be reported. In June 2010, a pierogi mascot for the Pittsburgh Pirates was fired because he posted disparaging comments about the team on his Facebook page. More recently, a high school teacher was forced to resign because she posted a picture on Facebook in which she was holding a glass of wine and a mug of beer. These incidents illustrate how, in addition to fostering socialization and interaction between friends and strangers, the ease and immediacy of communication that SNSs make possible can sometimes also negatively impact their users. In this Article, we summarize empirical research that our team has conducted in the past few years, aimed at understanding what actions people regret having conducted in SNSs, and whether it is possible to help them avoid those regrets without diminishing the value users can extract from participating in these online communities. In particular, this Article is based on qualitative and quantitative studies investigating instances of regret on Facebook and alternatives to prevent it.

description: Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are known to induce pulmonary inflammatory effects through stimulating pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion from alveolar macrophages. Despite extensive studies on MWCNTs’ pro-inflammatory reactivity, the understanding of molecular mechanisms involved is still incomplete. In this study, we investigated hemichannel’s involvement in MWCNTs-induced macrophage IL-1β release. Our results showed that the unmodified and COOH MWCNTs could induce ATP release and ATP-P2X7R axis-dependent IL-1β secretion from THP-1 macrophages. By using various inhibitors, we confirmed that the MWCNTs-induced ATP release was primarily through hemichannels. EtBr dye uptake assay detected significant hemichannels opening in MWCNTs exposed THP-1 macrophages. Inhibition of hemichannels by CBX, 43Gap27, or 10Panx1 pretreatment results in decreased ATP and IL-1β release. The addition of ATP restored the reduced IL-1β secretion level from hemichannel inhibition. We also confirmed with five other types of MWCNTs that the induction of hemichannels by MWCNTs strongly correlates with their capacity to induce IL-1β secretion. Taken together, we conclude that hemichannels-mediated ATP release and subsequent NLRP3 inflammasome activation through P2X7R may be one mechanism by which MWCNTs induce macrophage IL-1β secretion. Our findings may provide a novel molecular mechanism for MWCNTs induced IL-1β secretion.

description: A chiral pion-nucleon amplitude supplemented by the HJS subthreshold coefficients is used to calculate the the long range part of the two-pion exchange nucleon-nucleon potential. In our expressions the HJS coefficients factor out, allowing a clear identification of the origin of the various contributions. A discussion of the configuration space behaviour of the loop integrals that determine the potential is presented, with emphasis on cancellations associated with chiral symmetry. The profile function for the scalar-isoscalar component of the potential is produced and shown to disagree with those of several semi-phenomenological potentials.

description: In this paper we present derivation details, logic, and motivation for the loop calculus introduced in \cite{06CCa}. Generating functions for three inter-related discrete statistical models are each expressed in terms of a finite series. The first term in the series corresponds to the Bethe-Peierls (Belief Propagation)-BP contribution, the other terms are labeled by loops on the factor graph. All loop contributions are simple rational functions of spin correlation functions calculated within the BP approach. We discuss two alternative derivations of the loop series. One approach implements a set of local auxiliary integrations over continuous fields with the BP contribution corresponding to an integrand saddle-point value. The integrals are replaced by sums in the complimentary approach, briefly explained in \cite{06CCa}. A local gauge symmetry transformation that clarifies an important invariant feature of the BP solution, is revealed in both approaches. The partition function remains invariant while individual terms change under the gauge transformation. The requirement for all individual terms to be non-zero only for closed loops in the factor graph (as opposed to paths with loose ends) is equivalent to fixing the first term in the series to be exactly equal to the BP contribution. Further applications of the loop calculus to problems in statistical physics, computer and information sciences are discussed.

The results are expressed as percentages of the average of the control (i.e., untreated cells). The cells were treated with A: CMC1, B: CMC7, C: CMC10, and D: CMC11 at three different concentrations (20, 10 and 5 μM) for 48 h prior to the addition of MTT. Means ± standard deviations are from the average of 3 wells.
Is it possible to predict the far future before the near future is known accurately?

description: It has always been the dream of mankind to predict the future. If the future is governed by laws of physics, like in the case of the weather, one can try to make a model, solve the associated equations, and thus predict the future. However, to make accurate predictions can require extremely large amounts of computation. If we need seven days to compute a prediction for the weather tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the prediction arrives too late and is thus not a prediction any more. Although it may seem improbable, with the advent of powerful computers with many parallel processors, it is possible to compute a prediction for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow simultaneously. We describe a mathematical algorithm which is designed to achieve this.

description: There have been many claims that the Internet represents a new nearly "frictionless market." Our research empirically analyzes the characteristics of the Internet as a channel for two categories of homogeneous products-books and CDs. Using a data set of over 8,500 price observations collected over a period of 15 months, we compare pricing behavior at 41 Internet and conventional retail outlets. It is found that prices on the Internet are 9-16% lower than prices in conventional outlets, depending on whether taxes, shipping, and shopping costs are included in the price. Additionally, it is found that that Internet retailers’ price adjustments over time are up to 100 times smaller than conventional retailers’ price adjustments-presumably reflecting lower menu costs in Internet channels. Also found that that levels of price dispersion depend importantly on the measures employed. When comparing the prices posted by different Internet retailers, substantial dispersion is found. Internet retailer prices differ by an average of 33% for books and 25% for CDs. However, when these prices are weighed by proxies for market share, it is found that dispersion is lower in Internet channels than in conventional channels, reflecting the dominance of certain heavily branded retailers.

description: The quark-meson coupling model, based on a mean-field description of non-overlapping nucleon bags bound by the self-consistent exchange of $σ$, $ω$ and $ρ$ mesons, is extended to investigate the change of hadron properties in finite nuclei. Relativistic Hartree equations for spherical nuclei have been derived from a relativistic quark model of the structure of bound nucleons and mesons. Using this unified, self-consistent description of both infinite nuclear matter and finite nuclei, we investigate the properties of some closed-shell nuclei, and study the changes in the hadron masses of the non-strange vector mesons, the hyperons and the nucleon in those nuclei. We find a new, simple scaling relation for the changes of the hadron masses, which can be described in terms of the number of non-strange quarks in the hadron and the value of the scalar mean-field in a nucleus.

description: We introduce an extended Kepler-Coulomb quantum model in spherical coordinates. The Schrödinger equation of this Hamiltonian is solved in these coordinates and it is shown that the wave functions of the system can be expressed in terms of Laguerre, Legendre and exceptional Jacobi polynomials (of hypergeometric type). We construct ladder and shift operators based on the corresponding wave functions and obtain their recurrence formulas. These recurrence relations are used to construct higher-order, algebraically independent integrals of motion to prove superintegrability of the Hamiltonian. The integrals form a higher rank polynomial algebra. By constructing the structure functions of the associated deformed oscillator algebras we derive the degeneracy of energy spectrum of the superintegrable system.
