description: We study the problem of two-sample comparison with categorical data when the contingency table is sparsely populated. In modern applications, the number of categories is often comparable to the sample size, causing existing methods to have low power. When the number of categories is large, there is often underlying structure on the sample space that can be exploited. We propose a general non-parametric approach that utilizes similarity information on the space of all categories in two sample tests. Our approach extends the graph-based tests of Friedman and Rafsky (1979) and Rosenbaum (2005), which are tests base on graphs connecting observations by similarity. Both tests require uniqueness of the underlying graph and cannot be directly applied on categorical data. We explored different ways to extend graph-based tests to the categorical setting and found two types of statistics that are both powerful and fast to compute. We showed that their permutation null distributions are asymptotically normal and that their $p$-value approximations under typical settings are quite accurate, facilitating the application of the new approach. The approach is illustrated through several examples.

description: We have investigated the model dependence of meson resonance properties extracted from the Dalitz-plot analysis of the three-pions photoproduction reactions on the nucleon. Within a unitary model developed in Phys. Rev. D 84, 114019 (2011), we generate Dalitz-plot distributions as data to perform an isobar model fit that is similar to most of the previous analyses of three-pion production reactions. It is found that the resonance positions from the two models agree well when both fit the data accurately, except for the resonance poles near branch points. The residues of the resonant amplitudes extracted from the two models and by the usual Breit-Wigner procedure agree well only for the isolated resonances with narrow widths. For overlapping resonances, most of the extracted residues could be drastically different. Our results suggest that even with high precision data, the resonance extraction should be based on models within which the amplitude parametrization is constrained by three-particle unitarity condition.

description: Based on the quasiparticle model of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a color quantum path-integral Monte-Carlo (PIMC) method for calculation of thermodynamic properties and -- closely related to the latter -- a Wigner dynamics method for calculation of transport properties of the QGP are formulated. The QGP partition function is presented in the form of a color path integral with a new relativistic measure instead of the Gaussian one traditionally used in the Feynman-Wiener path integral. It is shown that the PIMC method is able to reproduce the lattice QCD equation of state at zero baryon chemical potential at realistic model parameters (i.e. quasiparticle masses and coupling constant) and also yields valuable insight into the internal structure of the QGP. Our results indicate that the QGP reveals quantum liquid-like (rather than gas-like) properties up to the highest considered temperature of 525 MeV. The pair distribution functions clearly reflect the existence of gluon-gluon bound states, i.e. glueballs, at temperatures just above the phase transition, while meson-like $q\bar{q}$ bound states are not found. The calculated self-diffusion coefficient agrees well with some estimates of the heavy-quark diffusion constant available from recent lattice data and also with an analysis of heavy-quark quenching in experiments on ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions, however, appreciably exceeds other estimates. The lattice and heavy-quark-quenching results on the heavy-quark diffusion are still rather diverse. The obtained results for the shear viscosity are in the range of those deduced from an analysis of the experimental elliptic flow in ultrarelativistic heavy ions collisions, i.e. in terms the viscosity-to-entropy ratio, $1/4π< η/S < 2.5/4π$, in the temperature range from 170 to 440 MeV.

description: We introduce various quantitative and mathematical definitions for price momentum of financial instruments. The price momentum is quantified with velocity and mass concepts originated from the momentum in physics. By using the physical momentum of price as a selection criterion, the weekly contrarian strategies are implemented in South Korea KOSPI 200 and US S&P 500 universes. The alternative strategies constructed by the physical momentum achieve the better expected returns and reward-risk measures than those of the traditional contrarian strategy in weekly scale. The portfolio performance is not understood by the Fama-French three-factor model.

description: Threshold models try to explain the consequences of social influence like the spread of fads and opinions. Along with models of epidemics, they constitute a major theoretical framework of social spreading processes. In threshold models on static networks, an individual changes her state if a certain fraction of her neighbors has done the same. When there are strong correlations in the temporal aspects of contact patterns, it is useful to represent the system as a temporal network. In such a system, not only contacts but also the time of the contacts are represented explicitly. There is a consensus that bursty temporal patterns slow down disease spreading. However, as we will see, this is not a universal truth for threshold models. In this work, we propose an extension of Watts' classic threshold model to temporal networks. We do this by assuming that an agent is influenced by contacts which lie a certain time into the past. I.e., the individuals are affected by contacts within a time window. In addition to thresholds as the fraction of contacts, we also investigate the number of contacts within the time window as a basis for influence. To elucidate the model's behavior, we run the model on real and randomized empirical contact datasets.

An off-shell formulation for internally gauged D=5, N=2 supergravity from superconformal methods

description: We use the superconformal method to construct a new formulation for pure off-shell D=5, N=2 Poincaré supergravity and present its internal gauging. The main difference between the traditional formulation and our new formulation is the choice of the Dilaton Weyl Multiplet as the background Weyl Multiplet and the choice of a Linear compensating Multiplet. We do not introduce an external vector multiplet to gauge the theory, but instead use the internal vector of the Dilaton Weyl Multiplet. We show that the corresponding on-shell theory is Einstein-Maxwell supergravity. We believe that this gauging method can be applied in more complicated scenarios such as the inclusion of off-shell higher derivative invariants.

UNRAVELLING THE ESSENTIAL ROLE OF TGPA IN THE VIABILITY OF PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA: A PUTATIVE TARGET FOR NOVEL ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS
Creators: name: URUBURU, MONICA MARIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano

description: The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common agent of infectious disease in immunocompromised individuals, and a dominant pathogen in late-stage of cystic fibrosis disease. P. aeruginosa represents a prototype of multidrug resistant ?superbug? due to intrinsic and acquired resistance to antimicrobials agents, for which effective therapeutic options are very limited. In order to overcome the current resistance mechanisms, the identification and characterization of new cellular functions that are essential for P. aeruginosa viability could drive the development of new antibacterial compounds with novel mechanisms of action. The present PhD thesis is focused on the functional and structural characterization of the Transglutaminase protein A, TgpA, an inner membrane protein predicted to belong to the Transglutaminase-like family which contains a functional TG domain (TG180?544), localized in the periplasmic side, suggested to take part in an essential function involved in envelope structure. The protein was recently described as essential for the viability of P. aeruginosa, and a promising candidate for the design of new specific antimicrobial compounds. In Part I, the state of the art and main results are presented. First, the in vivo evaluation of the modulation of TgpA expression levels on the P. aeruginosa growth showed that, the increase of TgpA cellular levels dramatically affects the P. aeruginosa growth. On the other hand, the partial suppression of the chromosomal copy of the tgpA gene showed to compromised the envelope organization of the cells. The subsequent structural characterization of the functional TG domain allowed confirming that TgpA belongs to the poorly characterized Transglutaminase-like family, in which many of the prokaryotic members are proteases. Also, the presence of a carbohydrate-binding domain at the N-terminal portion of the protein, suggests that the binding to polysaccharides present in the cell wall might constitute a mechanism of regulation of the enzymatic activity of TgpA. Moreover, the active site of the protein shares homology with cysteine proteases and endopeptidases with described action in the maintenance/biosinthesys of the bacterial peptidoglycan, suggesting that TgpA might be involved in the cell wall metabolism. The transglutaminase and proteolytic activity of the TG domain were evaluated in vitro, showing residual activity over generic substrates. A manuscript in preparation, presented in Part II, describes in detail the characteristics found in the structure of the TG domain that are the foundations for the TgpA enzymatic activity. Finally, in the search for possible inhibitory molecules of the activity of TgpA, the results of a preliminary in silico docking analysis with in vivo results are presented in Part III.

description: The potential between a heavy quark and an anti-quark inside the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is studied on the basis of the gauge/gravity duality. A real-time complex potential V_{Q\bar{Q}}(t,r) is derived from the Wilson loop with the Euclidean five-dimensional anti-de-Sitter black hole metric. To make the analytic continuation from the imaginary time to the real time, specific variational configurations of the string world sheet in the Euclidean metric are introduced. Rapid approach of V_{Q\bar{Q}}(t,r) to its stationary value is found at the time scale t=1/πT independent of the 't Hooft coupling λ. Also, the imaginary part of V_{Q\bar{Q}}(\infty,r) is found to be significant above the length scale r=1.72/πT independent of λ. Implications of these results to the properties of heavy quarkonia in QGP are briefly discussed.

This allows us to determine the charge densities and the potentials of the π-band electrons on all graphene layers separately and to extract the interlayer permittivity due to higher energy bands.

description: The recent financial crisis have generated renewed interests in fragilities of global financial networks among economists and regulatory authorities. In particular, a potential vulnerability of the financial networks is the "financial contagion" process in which insolvencies of individual entities propagate through the "web of dependencies" to affect the entire system. In this paper, we formalize an extension of a financial network model originally proposed by Nier et al. for scenarios such as the OTC derivatives market, define a suitable global stability measure for this model, and perform a comprehensive empirical evaluation of this stability measure over more than 700,000 combinations of networks types and parameter combinations. Based on our evaluations, we discover many interesting implications of our evaluations of this stability measure, and derive topological properties and parameters combinations that may be used to flag the network as a possible fragile network. An interactive software FIN-STAB for computing the stability is available from the website www2.cs.uic.edu/~dasgupta/financial-simulator-files

description: We discuss some aspects of critical electric and magnetic fields in a field theory with holographic dual description. We extend the analysis of arxiv:1109.2920, which finds a critical electric field at which the Schwinger pair production barrier drops to zero, to the case of magnetic fields. We first find that, unlike ordinary weakly coupled theories, the magnetic field is not subject to any perturbative instability originating from the presence of a tachyonic ground state in the W-boson spectrum. This follows from the large value of the 't Hooft coupling λ, which prevents the Zeeman interaction term to overcome the particle mass at high B. Consequently, we study the next possible B-field instability, i.e. monopole pair production, which is the S-dual version of the Schwinger effect. Also in this case a critical magnetic field is expected when the tunneling barrier drops to zero. These Schwinger-type criticalities are the holographic duals, in the bulk, to the fields E or B reaching the tension of F1 or D1 strings respectively. We then discuss how this effect is modified when electric and magnetic fields are present simultaneously and dyonic states in the spectrum can be pair produced by a generic E - B background. Finally, we analyze finite temperature effects on Schwinger criticalities, i.e. in the AdS-Schwarzshild black hole background.

Pulsation Frequencies and Modes of Giant Exoplanets

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: We calculate the eigenfrequencies and eigenfunctions of the acoustic oscillations of giant exoplanets and explore the dependence of the characteristic frequency and the eigenfrequencies on several parameters: the planet mass, the planet radius, the core mass, and the heavy element mass fraction in the envelope. We provide the eigenvalues for degree $l$ up to 8 and radial order n up to 12. For the selected values of l and n, we find that the pulsation eigenfrequencies depend strongly on the planet mass and radius, especially at high frequency. We quantify this dependence through the calculation of the characteristic frequency which gives us an estimate of the scale of the eigenvalue spectrum at high frequency. For the mass range 0.5 < M_P < 15 M_J, and fixing the planet radius to the Jovian value, we find that the characteristic frequency is ~164.0 * (M_P/M_J)^(0.48) microHz, where M_P is the planet mass and M_J is Jupiter's mass. For the radius range from 0.9 to 2.0 R_J, and fixing the planet's mass to the Jovian value, we find that the characteristic frequency is ~164.0 * (R_P/R_J)^(-2.09) microHz, where R_P is the planet radius and R_J is Jupiter's radius. We explore the influence of the presence of a dense core on the pulsation frequencies and on the characteristic frequency of giant exoplanets. We find that the presence of heavy elements in the envelope affects the eigenvalue distribution in ways similar to the presence of a dense core. Additionally, we apply our formalism to Jupiter and Saturn and find results consistent with both the observationnal data of Gaulme et al. (2011) and previous theoretical work.

description: We present a method to analyze the suitability of particular photonic cavity designs for information exchange between arbitrary superposition states of a quantum emitter and the near-field photonic cavity mode. As an illustrative example, we consider whether quantum dot emitters embedded in "L3" and "H1" photonic crystal cavities are able to transfer a spin superposition state to a confined photonic superposition state for use in quantum information transfer. Using an established dyadic Green's function (DGF) analysis, we describe methods to calculate coupling to arbitrary quantum emitter positions and orientations using the modified local density of states (LDOS) calculated using numerical finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. We find that while superposition states are not supported in L3 cavities, the double degeneracy of the H1 cavities supports superposition states of the two orthogonal modes that may be described as states on a Poincaré-like sphere. Methods are developed to comprehensively analyze the confined superposition state generated from an arbitrary emitter position and emitter dipole orientation.

Testing factors that enhance private participation in payments for ecosystem service programs targeting flood mitigation

description:
To address the severe consequences of low participation, more studies are needed that empirically evaluate how different factors affect enrollment in payments for ecosystem services (PES) programs. In this paper, we provide empirical insight into how different land-leasing, purchase, and management arrangements might affect potential participants’ willingness to enroll in these programs. We administer a choice experiment in the coastal plain of the State of North Carolina (USA), to explore how a hypothetical, flood mitigation-focused PES program could optimize participation across a variety of natural infrastructure practices and across multiple aspects of program design. We find evidence that higher proportions of total household income from farming have a significant relationship with the likelihood of participation in PES programs that seek to mitigate flooding. Other factors that we examined – including income loss from past flood events, respondents’ previous participation in PES programs, and different combinatorial arrangements of payment structuring and timing – had no discernable relationship to initial decisions about program participation. Furthermore, we find evidence for the importance of previous participation in PES programs as a key factor in decisions regarding the extent or level of program participation. In light of this, we propose a risk-based reframing of PES program participation decisions. From this risk avoidance perspective, we theorize that potential participants who are more dependent on farming revenue for their income may be proportionally more risk averse to any actions that could complicate farming or endanger future farming revenue.
Numerical simulations of wind-equatorial gas interaction in eta Carinae

description: We perform three-dimensional gas-dynamical simulations and show that the asymmetric morphology of the blue and red-shifted components of the outflow at hundreds of astronomical units (AU) from the massive binary system eta Carinae can be accounted for from the collision of the free primary stellar wind with the slowly expanding dense equatorial gas. Owing to the very complicated structure of the century-old equatorial ejecta, that is not fully spatially resolved by observations, we limit ourselves to modelling the equatorial dense gas by one or two dense spherical clouds. Because of that we reproduce the general qualitative properties of the velocity maps, but not the fine details. The fine details of the velocity maps can be matched by simply structuring the dense ejecta in an appropriate way. The blue and red-shifted components are formed in the post-shock flow of the primary wind, on the two sides of the equatorial plane, respectively. The fast wind from the secondary star plays no role in our model, as for most of the orbital period in our model the primary star is closer to us. The dense clouds are observed to be closer to us than the binary system is, and so in our model the primary star faces the dense equatorial ejecta for the majority of the orbital period.

title: Spice, culinary tourism, and expressions of whiteness in London, England and Nashville, Tennessee
Creators: name: Shultz, Sarah T.

Year: 2023

description: Using curry in East London in the United Kingdom and hot chicken in Nashville, Tennessee as case studies, this dissertation explores how ideas of spice and heat in “ethnic” foodways become linked to conceptions of authenticity and exoticness within the context of culinary tourism. Drawing on scholarship of folk narrative, culinary tourism, critical whiteness studies, and vernacular rhetoric, among others, I investigate the ways in which the concept of spice is used rhetorically in ongoing conversations about links between “ethnic” foods and cultural appropriation, identity invention, and representation from both local and touristic perspectives. I have concentrated mainly on how specifically white racial identities are expressed through the consumption of spicy food within the context of culinary tourism, in which “ethnic” foods are a primary attraction and are often understood to be non-white. This investigation includes historical context on both curry in east London and hot chicken in Nashville, interviews with locals, culinary tourists, and tourism professionals, participant observation on culinary tours in east London, and analyses of online restaurant reviews in each location. An analysis of these collected materials reveals that consumers in both locations share a frontier orientation towards the act of consuming spicy foods that utilizes aspects of the white racial frame (Feagin 2013), and consumers use the concept of spice to signify that they have had an experience that is sufficiently or insufficiently exotic. In both locations, the concept of spice also opens up opportunities for individuals (both locals and tourists) to push back against master narratives created by tourism agencies and local governments that oversimplify their lived experiences and understandings of history.
A New Bibliographical Feature For Simbad : Highlighting The Most Relevant Papers For One Astronomical Object

description: The number of bibliographical references attached to one astronomical object in SIMBAD is continuously growing over the years.   It is important for the astronomers to retrieve  the most relevant papers, those which give important information about the studied object.  And it this not easy  since, for instance in November 2013, more than 15.000 objects where attached to more than 50 references, 550 to more than 500 and the Large Magellanic Cloud is attached to more than 10.300 papers.

As we have already shown (2003lisa.conf..243L), the location of the object's citations inside the paper and its number of occurrences are important criteria to extract the most relevant papers.   Since 2008, thanks to the DJIN application (a semi-automatic tool to search object names in full texts)  these information  have been collected. For each article associated to one astronomical object, whichever of its name, we know where it is cited (title, keywords and abstract, but also subtitles, tables, figures, captions, …),  how many times and  with which acronym it appears.

From September 2013,   the user of SIMBAD web site can choose to put in front the most relevant references, depending on the location  (title, abstract or keywords, but also in tables).  The information about the presence of the object name in tables and figures indicate that data about the object is likely available in that paper.  Another new sorting formula combining all locations, number of occurrences, total number of objects studied, year  will be presented.

description: We trace back the phenomenon of "delayed-choice entanglement swapping" as it was realized in a recent experiment to the commutativity of the projection operators that are involved in the corresponding measurement process. We also propose an experimental set-up which depends on the order of successive measurements corresponding to noncommutative projection operators. In this case entanglement swapping is used to teleport a quantum state from Alice to Bob, where Bob has now the possibility to examine the noncommutativity within the quantum history.

description: A fundamental problem is to understand why quantum theory only violates some noncontextuality (NC) inequalities and identify the physical principles that prevent higher-than-quantum violations. We prove that quantum theory only violates those NC inequalities whose exclusivity graphs contain, as induced subgraphs, odd cycles of length five or more, and/or their complements. In addition, we show that odd cycles are the exclusivity graphs of a well-known family of NC inequalities and that there is also a family of NC inequalities whose exclusivity graphs are the complements of odd cycles. We characterize the maximum noncontextual and quantum values of these inequalities, and provide evidence supporting the conjecture that the maximum quantum violation of these inequalities is exactly singled out by the exclusivity principle.

Migrant Networks And Trade: The Vietnamese Boat People As A Natural Experiment

Natural Experiment

description: We provide cogent evidence for the causal pro-trade effect of migrants and in doing so establish an important link between migrant networks and long-run economic development. To this end, we exploit a unique event in human history, the exodus of the Vietnamese Boat People to the US. This episode represents an ideal natural experiment as the large immigration shock, the first wave of which comprised refugees exogenously allocated across the US, occurred over a twenty-year period during which time the US imposed a complete trade embargo on Vietnam. Following the lifting of trade restrictions in 1994, the share of US exports going to Vietnam was higher and more diversified in those US States with larger Vietnamese populations, themselves the result of larger refugee inflows 20 years earlier.
Planets in Open Clusters Detectable by Kepler

description: While hundreds of planets have been discovered around field stars, only a few are known in star clusters. To explain the lack of short-period giant planets in globular clusters (GC), such as 47 Tucane and ω Centauri, it has been suggested that their low metallicities may have prevented planet formation. Alternatively, the high rates of close stellar encounters in these clusters may have influenced the formation and subsequent evolution of planetary systems. How common are planets in clusters around normal main-sequence stars? Here we consider whether this question can be addressed using data from the Kepler mission. The Kepler field of view contains 4 low-density (relative to GCs) open clusters where the metallicities are about solar (or even higher) and stellar encounters are much less frequent than in typical GCs. We provide detailed $N$-body models and show that most planets in Kepler-detectable orbits are not significantly perturbed by stellar encounters in these open clusters. We focus on the most massive cluster, NGC 6791, which has super-solar metallicity, and find that if planets formed in this cluster at the same frequency as observed in the field, Kepler could detect 1 -- 20 transiting planets depending on the planet-size distribution and the duration of data collection. Due to the large distance to NGC 6791 Kepler will have to search relatively faint ($K_p<20$) stars for the full extended mission to achieve such a yield.

description: The energies of neutrinos in a neutrinosphere, the dense matter created after the gravitational collapse of a massive star, are estimated. Cubic equations for energy eigenvalues of neutrinos are used, with the effective masses found by taking the neutrinos at rest in neutrinosphere matter. Large differences in the effective mass of some neutrino species in a neutrinosphere compared to vacuum are found.

On The Economic Geography Of International Migration

International Migration

description: We exploit the bilateral and skill dimensions from recent data sets of international migration to test for the existence of Zipf's and Gibrat's Laws in the context of aggregate and high-skilled international immigration and emigration using graphical, parametric and non-parametric analysis. The top tails of the distributions of aggregate and high-skilled immigrants and emigrants adhere to a Pareto distribution with an exponent of unity i.e. Zipf's Law holds. We find some evidence in favour of Gibrat's Law holding for immigration stocks, i.e. that the growth in stocks is independent of their initial values and stronger evidence that immigration densities are diverging over time. Conversely, emigrant stocks are converging in the sense that countries with smaller emigrant stocks are growing faster than their larger sovereign counterparts. Lastly, high skilled immigration and emigration stocks expressed in levels or as densities all exhibit signs of convergence. We conclude by discussing some competing mechanisms that could be driving the observed patterns including: differing fertility rates, reductions in emigration restrictions, migrant sorting and selective immigration policies, immigrant networks and persisting wage differentials.

description: The MuCap experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute has measured the rate L_S of muon capture from the singlet state of the muonic hydrogen atom to a precision of 1%. A muon beam was stopped in a time projection chamber filled with 10-bar, ultra-pure hydrogen gas. Cylindrical wire chambers and a segmented scintillator barrel detected electrons from muon decay. L_S is determined from the difference between the mu- disappearance rate in hydrogen and the free muon decay rate. The result is based on the analysis of 1.2 10^10 mu- decays, from which we extract the capture rate L_S = (714.9 +- 5.4(stat) +- 5.1(syst)) s^-1 and derive the proton's pseudoscalar coupling g_P(q^2_0 = -0.88 m^2_mu) = 8.06 +- 0.55.

Fifty Years Of Maghreb Emigration: How States Shaped Algerian, Moroccan And Tunisian Emigration

description: Abstact

This paper analyses emigration from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia to main European and North American destinations since the 1960s. It explores the role of states, post-colonial ties and migration policies in emigration dynamics. By adopting a historical-comparative approach and an origin country perspective, this paper shows that Maghreb emigration was continuously shaped not only by government strategies in Europe but also by those of Maghreb states. Drawing on new bilateral migration flow data compiled in the DEMIG C2C database, the paper reveals three distinct phases in which Maghreb emigration patterns converge and diverge: the post-independence period in which Maghreb emigration boomed; the period from the mid-1970s until the early 1990s when Algerian emigration levelled off while emigration from neighbouring countries’ remained high; and the period from the early 1990s when Moroccan emigration increased exponentially while Tunisian and Algerian only grew moderately. Similarities in Maghreb emigration patterns can be explained by the countries’ comparable geopolitical and socio-economic features and that European states apply the same immigration policies to all Maghreb countries. To understand the divergences however, a closer look at origin country factors is required. The paper finds that Algeria’s departure from regional emigration patterns in the 1970s can be traced back to the emigration stop implemented by the Algerian government in 1973. Conversely, the active promotion of emigration by the Moroccan state facilitated emigration by making access to passport easier and fostering a culture of emigration that together with high unemployment partly explains Morocco’s emigration boom after the 1990s. Finally, recent diversification of Maghreb emigration to divergent South European countries, can be attributed to specific historical linkages, with Moroccans and Algerians mainly migrating to Spain and Tunisians to Italy.
