description: The Cox proportional hazard model is one of the most popular tools in analyzing time-to-event data in public health studies. When outcomes observed in clinical data from different regions yield a varying pattern correlated with location, it is often of great interest to investigate spatially varying effects of covariates. In this paper, we propose a geographically weighted Cox regression model for sparse spatial survival data. In addition, a stochastic neighborhood weighting scheme is introduced at the county level. Theoretical properties of the proposed geographically weighted estimators are examined in detail. A model selection scheme based on the Takeuchi's model robust information criteria (TIC) is discussed. Extensive simulation studies are carried out to examine the empirical performance of the proposed methods. We further apply the proposed methodology to analyze real data on prostate cancer from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer registry for the state of Louisiana.

description: Maps in stated preference surveys rarely identify the location of respondents’ homes. This standard approach is grounded in the assumption that respondents are aware of their exact household locations relative to mapped policy effects, and hence possess sufficient understanding of spatial relationships to support well-informed preference elicitation. The validity this assumption is rarely if ever tested. This paper evaluates this nearly universal practice of generic policy-area mapping in choice experiments. This is compared to a more information-intensive alternative in which individualized maps pinpoint the location of each respondent’s household relative to policy effects. The latter approach requires a unique map to be generated for each respondent. Methods and results are illustrated using an application to riparian land restoration in south coastal Maine. Comparison of the results from these two approaches illustrates the implications of stated preference survey design that provides additional cartographic detail, and suggests the potential limitations of generic policy area maps.

description: A nonnegative number d_infinity, called asymptotic dimension, is associated with any metric space. Such number detects the asymptotic properties of the space (being zero on bounded metric spaces), fulfills the properties of a dimension, and is invariant under rough isometries. It is then shown that for a class of open manifolds with bounded geometry the asymptotic dimension coincides with the 0-th Novikov-Shubin number alpha_0 defined previously (math.OA/9802015, cf. also math.DG/0110294). Thus the dimensional interpretation of alpha_0 given in the mentioned paper in the framework of noncommutative geometry is established on metrics grounds. Since the asymptotic dimension of a covering manifold coincides with the polynomial growth of its covering group, the stated equality generalises to open manifolds a result by Varopoulos.

description: The topological charge is studied on lattices of large physical volume and fine lattice spacing. We illustrate how a parity transformation on the SU(3) link-variables of lattice gauge configurations reverses the sign of the topological charge and leaves the action invariant. Random applications of the parity transformation are proposed to traverse from one topological charge sign to the other. The transformation provides an improved unbiased estimator of the ensemble average and is essential in improving the ergodicity of the Markov chain process.

It is shown that a surface defect solution in pure Romans' gauged supergravity is singular. Adding a single vector multiplet allows for the construction of a non-singular solution. The on-shell action and one point functions of operators in the presence of the defect are computed using holographic renormalization.

description: This report describes four models used to analyse Australian broadacre mixed-grain farm systems. The models that are included in this report are: IMAGINE, STEP, LUSO and APSfarm. For each model, we include a brief description of how they work, their data requirements and model outputs. IMAGINE is a bio-economic model that focuses on the impacts of tree belts on crop yields. The model accounts for the interactions between herbaceous and woody crops in terms of water and nutrient competition. Its financial analysis includes cash flow reporting. The STEP model simulates the transition from one farm system to another (mainly land-use sequence), and gives a full financial analysis of the change. LUSO simulates the impact of diseases, weeds and break crops on crop yields. LUSO reports discounted cash flows for different management strategies. The APSFarm model focuses on operational decisions. It simulates how the allocation of production and factor inputs affect farm business performance and the environment.

description: The knowledge of Xylella fastidiosa potential vectors is important for control the spread of the disease. Until now, in Europe, have been identified, as potential vectors of X. fastidiosa, insects belong to two large families. Philaenus spumarius and Neophilaenus campestris are the main X. fastidiosa vectors from Aphrophoridae family. Both are characterized by the presence of a comb-like pattern along the tibias and posterior tarsus. Cicadella viridis (L.) (Cicadellidae family) was also identified as a X. fastidiosa potential vector, which is characterised by the hair presence in posterior tibias.
 The present work intended to identify and monitor the X. fastidiosa potential vectors belong to Aphrophoridae and Cicadellidae families, in 3 plots of a modern olive orchard in Alentejo (south of Portugal), between August (2019) and June (2020). Insects were captured using sweeping method in weeds between the lines (30 times/ plot) and the yellow chromotropic traps method (in 3 olive trees per plot). The insects with interest for the study were observed through a stereoscopic microscope and counted, and genitalia were also prepared in order to properly identify the species. A comparation between each capture method and each plot was made. The most of insects were captured in the youngest plot and were found by the sweeping method in weeds between the lines. Insects of Cicadomorpha suborder family were found, but has not been identified a significant sample of potential vectors of X. fastidiosa. Just one specimen of potential vector was identified from Aphrophoridae family – a Neophilaenus campestris. Among Fulgoromorpha, which are not regarded as potential vectors, specimen of the Tettigometridae family were found. Additional studies are required to better control the incidence of these insects in this region and to evaluate different cultivars resistance to X. fastidiosa.

description: This study examines the dynamic relationship between wholesale and retail prices of beef products, accounting for product differentiation in cuts and quality grades. We test for long-run association in price transmission relationship in presence of asymmetry caused by threshold-type adjustments. The results indicate that there are significant asymmetric effects such that decrease or increase in wholesale beef prices tend to have different effects on the retail beef prices, and this effect varies across quality grades. Superior quality beef tend to show longer persistence to increase in prices and are adjusted at a slower rate than relatively inferior quality beef. This shows that adjustment of beef prices at retail market is influenced by the level of quality, thus supporting our original hypothesis.

description: The Maldacena-Nunez solution is generalized to include a number of integration constants, one of which controls the resolution of the singularity of the wrapped D5-brane background. Some features of the dual pure N=1 super Yang-Mills (SYM) theory are calculated, amongst which the gluino condensate, the beta function of the gauge coupling and a brane probe potential, which is related to the Veneziano-Yankielowicz effective potential. Each integration constant has a precise meaning in the dual SYM theory, e.g., the amount of non-perturbative SYM physics captured by the gravity configuration is described by the singularity resolution parameter.

description: The light curves (time series of the radiated energy) of most large amplitude, pulsating stars such as the well known Cepheid stars are regular. However, a smaller group of variable stars that are located next to them in the Hertzsprung- Russell diagram undergoes irregular light variations and exhibits irregular radial velocities as well. The mechanism behind this irregular behavior was a long standing mystery. A flow reconstruction technique based on the observed lightcurves of six separate stars shows that their underlying dynamics is chaotic and low dimensional (d=4). Furthermore, we present evidence that the physical mechanism behind the behavior is the nonlinear interaction of just two pulsation eigenmodes. In a generalized Shil'nikov scenario, the pulsation energy alternates continuously, but irregularly between a lower frequency mode that is linearly unstable and thus growing, and a stable overtone that gets entrained through a low order resonance (2:1), but that wants to decay. The flow reconstruction from the stellar light curve thus yields interesting physical insight into the pulsation mechanism.

description: Turbulence may have been produced in the early universe during several kind of non-equilibrium processes. Periods of cosmic turbulence may have left a detectable relic in the form of stochastic backgrounds of gravitational waves. In this paper we derive general expressions for the power spectrum of the expected signal. Extending previous works on the subject, we take into account the effects of a continuous energy injection power and of magnetic fields. Both effects lead to considerable deviations from the Kolmogorov turbulence spectrum. We applied our results to determine the spectrum of gravity waves which may have been produced by neutrino inhomogeneous diffusion and by a first order phase transition. We show that in both cases the expected signal may be in the sensitivity range of LISA.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We derive all hairy stealth black holes in the most general second-order, shift symmetric, scalar-tensor theory with luminally propagating gravitational waves, often called kinetic gravity braiding. Our approach exploits an overlooked loophole in a recently obtained no-go statement which claims shift symmetry breaking to be necessary for stealth solutions to exist in kinetic gravity braiding. We highlight the essential role played by a covariantly constant kinetic density in obtaining these solutions. Lastly, we propose a parametrization of the theories based on the asymptotics of its stealth solutions and comment on the intriguing singular effective metric for scalar perturbations in stealth black holes.

description: Developing machine learning (ML) methods for healthcare predictive modeling requires absolute explainability and transparency to build trust and accountability. Graphical models (GM) are key tools for this but face challenges like small sample sizes, mixed variables, and latent confounders. This paper presents a novel learning framework addressing these challenges by integrating latent variables using fast causal inference (FCI), accommodating mixed variables with predictive permutation conditional independence tests (PPCIT), and employing a systematic graphical embedding approach leveraging expert knowledge. This method ensures a transparent model structure and an explainable approach to feature selection and modeling, achieving competitive prediction performance. For real-world validation, data on hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPI) among individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) were used, where the approach achieved a balanced accuracy of 0.941 and an AUC of 0.983, outperforming most benchmarks. The PPCIT method also demonstrated superior accuracy and scalability over other benchmarks in causal discovery validation on synthetic datasets that closely resemble our real dataset. This holistic framework effectively addresses the challenges of mixed variables and explainable predictive modeling for disease onset, which is crucial for enabling transparency and interpretability in ML-based healthcare.

description: We present JHKs photometry of 10 Jovian and 4 Saturnian irregular satellites, taken with the Near-InfraRed Imager (NIRI) at the 8-m Gemini North Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The observed objects have near-infrared colors consistent with C, P and D-type asteroids, although J XII Ananke and S IX Phoebe show weak indications of possible water features in the H filter. The four members of the Himalia-family have similar near-infrared colors, as do the two members of the Gallic family, S XX Paaliaq and S XXIX Siarnaq. From low resolution normalized reflectance spectra based on the broadband colors and covering 0.4 to 2.2 microns, the irregular satellites are identified as C-type (J VII Pasiphae, J VI Himalia and S IX Phoebe), P-type (J XII Ananke and J XVIII Themisto) and D-type (J IX Carme and J X Sinope), showing a diversity of origins of these objects.

Anomalies in noncommutative gauge theories, Seiberg-Witten transformation and Ramond-Ramond couplings

description: We propose an exact expression for the unintegrated form of the star gauge invariant axial anomaly in an arbitrary even dimensional gauge theory. The proposal is based on the inverse Seiberg-Witten map and identities related to it, obtained earlier by comparing Ramond-Ramond couplings in different decsriptions. The integrated anomalies are expressed in terms of a simplified version of the Elliott formula involving the noncommutative Chern character. These anomalies, under the Seiberg-Witten transformation, reduce to the ordinary axial anomalies. Compatibility with existing results of anomalies in noncommutative theories is established.

The challenge of searching for Xylella fastidiosa genetic diversity in its natural habitats

description: From a mycologist and plant pathologist perspective with little background on prokaryotes, the lifestyle of Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is still fascinating and enigmatic. In recent years, several studies have largely improved our understanding on the genetic diversity and phylogeny while unraveling the center of origin of the three main Xf subspecies. Yet, surprisingly, these works rely exclusively on isolates collected from human-related environments, i.e., crops, ornamental and landscape plants, out of their native geographic range and mostly from non-native hosts. Such scientific gaps hamper our interpretation on the new advances in the biology of Xf and its vectors. We must therefore recognize the paucity of our knowledge on the ecological niche in its native range and the need to survey in candidate ecosystems such as tropical rain forests of Central and South America. The purpose of this work is to generate debate on how to approach the problem of searching for Xf isolates in natural ecosystems. Although at first glance it might seem an easy task, the challenge requires some previous thoughts. To increase our chances of finding the needle in the haystack, we must ask ourselves what role Xf might have in its natural habitat. This needs a reverse path of ecological inference from the collection of scattered information from the lab and observations in the realized niche. In other words, we need to speculate on the evolutionary ecology of Xf in its natural habitat on the base of what we have. There are many questions and few solid answers about the interspecific interactions, host range, geographic size and population genetics, among other issues. These answers must be integral, cohesive and open-minded because our preconceptions can be wrong. Understanding Xf’s ecological niche in its natural habitat would aid to evaluate future risks and improve our control strategies.

description: We present the first results from our new general relativistic, Lagrangian hydrodynamics code, which treats gravity in the conformally flat (CF) limit. The evolution of fluid configurations is described using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), and the elliptic field equations of the CF formalism are solved using spectral methodsin spherical coordinates. The code was tested on models for which the CF limit is exact, finding good agreement with the classical Oppenheimer-Volkov solution for a relativistic static spherical star as well as the exact semi-analytic solution for a collapsing spherical dust cloud. By computing the evolution of quasi-equilibrium neutron star binary configurations in the absence of gravitational radiation backreaction, we have confirmed that these configurations can remain dynamically stable all the way to the development of a cusp. With an approximate treatment of radiation reaction, we have calculated the complete merger of an irrotational binary configuration from the innermost point on an equilibrium sequence through merger and remnant formation and ringdown, finding good agreement withprevious relativistic calculations. In particular, we find that mass loss is highly suppressed by relativistic effects, but that, for a reasonably stiff neutron star equation of state, the remnant is initially stable against gravitational collapse because of its strong differential rotation. The gravity wave signal derived from our numerical calculation has an energy spectrum which matches extremely well with estimates based solely on quasi-equilibrium results, deviating from the Newtonian power-law form at frequencies below 1 kHz, i.e., within the reach of advanced interferometric detectors.

description: We study the dynamical evolution of a phase interface or bubble in the context of a λϕ^4 + g ϕ^6 scalar quantum field theory. We use a self-consistent mean-field approximation derived from a 2PI effective action to construct an initial value problem for the expectation value of the quantum field and two-point function. We solve the equations of motion numerically in (1+1)-dimensions and compare the results to the purely classical evolution. We find that the quantum fluctuations dress the classical profile, affecting both the early time expansion of the bubble and the behavior upon collision with a neighboring interface.

description: For a quantum mechanical system with broken supersymmetry, we present a simple method of determining the ground state when the corresponding energy eigenvalue is sufficiently small. A concise formula is derived for the approximate ground state energy in an associated, well-separated, asymmetric double-well-type potential. Our discussion is also relevant for the analysis of the fermion bound state in the kink-antikink scalar background.

description: We consider the curvature driven dynamics of a domain wall separating two equivalent states in systems displaying a modulational instability of a flat front. We derive an amplitude equation for the dynamics of the curvature close to the bifurcation point from growing to schrinking circular droplets. We predict the existence of stable droplets with a radius $R$ that diverges at the bifurcation point, where a curvature driven growth law $R(t) \approx t^{1/4}$ is obtained. Our general analytical predictions, which are valid for a wide variety of systems including models of nonlinear optical cavities and reaction-diffusion systems, are illustrated in the parametrically driven complex Ginzburg-Landau equation.

description: We examine the magnetic-field-induced criticality of phase boundary near saturation field $H_{\mathrm{c}}$ in the spin-1/2 ferromagnetic (FM)-leg ladder 3-Cl-4-F-V [=3-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-1,5-diphenylverdazyl], the predominant interactions of which arise from FM chains (strong-leg type). Critical temperatures were precisely determined through dc magnetization, specific heat, and magnetocaloric effect measurements. The criticality of 3-Cl-4-F-V is characterized by a linear phase boundary with respect to $H_{\mathrm{c}}-H$ near $H\,=\,H_{\mathrm{c}}$. This behavior is similar to that of another strong-leg-type FM-leg ladder. The universal critical behavior in these strong-leg-type FM-leg ladders is expected to demonstrate the theoretically predicted quasi-one-dimensional Bose--Einstein condensation.

Universitäre Sammlungen dekolonialisieren - in Theorie und Praxis

description: Obwohl die Schweiz keine eigenen Kolonien hatte, haben ihre Universitäten und Wissenschaftler in Kolonien geforscht und wissenschaftliche Theorien entwickelt, die massgeblich zur Unterdrückung kolonisierter Menschen beigetragen und ein eurozentrisches Weltbild gefördert haben. Internationale Debatten zur Provenienzforschung führten auch in der Schweiz zu gesellschaftlichen und politischen Diskussionen. Dies haben nun auch universitäre Sammlungen erreicht. Es ist also unabdingbar, dass sie sich ihren kolonialen Verstrickungen stellen. Da das koloniale Erbe tief in unserem Denken und unserer Sprache verankert ist, hat es Niederschlag in Sammlungen und deren Dokumentationen gefunden. Der vorwiegend akademische und aktivistische Diskurs zur Dekolonialisierung gewinnt nicht nur an (politischer) Bedeutung, sondern schlägt sich auch in verschiedenen Bereichen der täglichen Sammlungsarbeit nieder. So muss ein Umgang mit diskriminierenden Bildern und Sprache gesucht werden, Metadaten und (Online)Präsentation müssen überdacht und angepasst werden. Der Vortrag beleuchtet das Thema Dekolonialisierung von Universitätssammlungen anhand der Projekte, die derzeit an der ETH laufen: Zur Erarbeitung konkreter Handlungsempfehlungen hat die ETH-Bibliothek eine Arbeitsgruppe gegründet. Parallel dazu wird nach einer Strategie für den Umgang mit Denkmälern von Persönlichkeiten mit kolonialen und/oder rassistischen Verstrickungen gesucht und ab August 2024 widmet sich eine Ausstellung dem Thema “Kolonialismus in den ETH-Sammlungen".
Type Ia supernovae from non-accreting progenitors

description: Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are manifestations of stars deficient of hydrogen and helium disrupting in a thermonuclear runaway. While explosions of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs are thought to account for the majority of events, part of the observed diversity may be due to varied progenitor channels. We demonstrate that helium stars with masses between $\sim$1.8 and 2.5 M$_{\odot}$ may evolve into highly degenerate, near-Chandrasekhar mass cores with helium-free envelopes that subsequently ignite carbon and oxygen explosively at densities $\sim(1.8-5.9)\times 10^{9}$g cm$^{-3}$. This happens either due to core growth from shell burning (when the core has a hybrid CO/NeO composition), or following ignition of residual carbon triggered by exothermic electron captures on $^{24}$Mg (for a NeOMg-dominated composition). We argue that the resulting thermonuclear runaways is likely to prevent core collapse, leading to the complete disruption of the star. The available nuclear energy at the onset of explosive oxygen burning suffices to create ejecta with a kinetic energy of $\sim$10$^{51}$ erg, as in typical SNe Ia. Conversely, if these runaways result in partial disruptions, the corresponding transients would resemble SN Iax events similar to SN 2002cx. If helium stars in this mass range indeed explode as SNe Ia, then the frequency of events would be comparable to the observed SN Ib/c rates, thereby sufficing to account for the majority of SNe Ia in star-forming galaxies.

description: The proposed Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) crop insurance program is included in both the House and Senate farm bills. We develop a county level model to analyze program indemnities. The FAPRI-MU stochastic U.S. model is used to estimate market effects of the program. We find the net 10-year fiscal cost of SCO to be about $9.8 billion and $5.8 billion for the House and Senate bills, respectively. While corn and peanuts have the largest absolute payments per acre, wheat and peanuts have the highest relative effects in area and farm price. However, the market impacts of SCO are quite small.

description: Since the first detection of Xylella fastidiosa (XF) in Majorca (Spain) five years ago, this phytopathogenic bacterium has been found in the rest of the Balearic Islands except Formentera. In the Balearic archipelago, the expansion of the XF infection occurs through the feeding activity of the spittlebugs Philaenus spumarius and Neophilaenus campestris (Aphrophoridae). To date, these are the only confirmed XF vectors in the Balearic Islands. In 2017 we started a project granted by EFSA aiming at, among other objectives, DNA barcoding putative vectors in the Balearics through the analysis of the standardized 5’ end of the mitochondrial COI gene of the insects. Moreover, a cytB mtDNA fragment was also sequenced in order to expand the genetic dataset and to conduct phylogenetic inferences. We take advantage of the P. spumarius and N. campestris DNA sequences available at GenBank to investigate the molecular systematics of the Balearic vectors and the patterns of haplotype divergence among vector populations in Europe.

description: We study the evolution of a localized perturbation in a chemical system with multiple homogeneous steady states, in the presence of stirring by a fluid flow. Two distinct regimes are found as the rate of stirring is varied relative to the rate of the chemical reaction. When the stirring is fast localized perturbations decay towards a spatially homogeneous state. When the stirring is slow (or fast reaction) localized perturbations propagate by advection in form of a filament with a roughly constant width and exponentially increasing length. The width of the filament depends on the stirring rate and reaction rate but is independent of the initial perturbation. We investigate this problem numerically in both closed and open flow systems and explain the results using a one-dimensional "mean-strain" model for the transverse profile of the filament that captures the interplay between the propagation of the reaction-diffusion front and the stretching due to chaotic advection.
