description: Microstate geometries in string theory replace the black-hole horizon with a smooth geometric "cap" at the horizon scale. In geometries constructed using superstratum technology, this cap has the somewhat surprising property that induces very large tidal deformations on infalling observers that are far away from it. We find that this large-distance amplification of the tidal effects is also present in horizonless microstate geometries constructed as bubbling solutions, but can be tamed by suitably arranging the bubbles to reduce the strength of some of the gravitational multipole moments. However, despite this taming, these tidal effects still become large at a significant distance from the microstructure. This result suggests that an observer will not fall unharmed into the structure replacing the black hole horizon.

description: In the near future the CAP will continue to be structured around two pillars. In the first pillar the main instrument for producers’ support is the decoupled Single Farm Payment. In this paper we review the methodological framework for analysing decoupled payments in models of agricultural production. Market and technological uncertainty, credit constraints, farm household choices involving extra-agricultural decisions, policy uncertainty and long-run impact of decoupling on investment and land values are the relevant issues that should be pursued by methodological and empirical analysis. Future research should refine the analysis of decoupled payments, mainly trying to provide results that can be useful for policy simulation, to bridge the gap between analysis at the individual level and sector policy models.

description: Access to privacy-sensitive information on Android is a growing concern in the mobile community. Albeit Google Play recently introduced some privacy guidelines, it is still an open problem to soundly verify whether apps actually comply with such rules. To this aim, in this paper, we discuss a novel methodology based on a fruitful combination of static analysis, dynamic analysis, and machine learning techniques, which allows assessing such compliance. More in detail, our methodology checks whether each app i) contains a privacy policy that complies with the Google Play privacy guidelines, and ii) accesses privacy-sensitive information only upon the acceptance of the policy by the user. Furthermore, the methodology also allows checking the compliance of third-party libraries embedded in the apps w.r.t. the same privacy guidelines. We implemented our methodology in a tool, 3PDroid, and we carried out an assessment on a set of recent and most-downloaded Android apps in the Google Play Store. Experimental results suggest that more than 95% of apps access user's privacy-sensitive information, but just a negligible subset of them (around 1%) fully complies with the Google Play privacy guidelines.

description: Processing of meat and crops accounts for a large share of manufacturing in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The paper assesses empirically the impact of hypothesized productivity change in agro-food processing on growth, trade, employment, and input and output prices in SSA, using a 13 commodity, 7 region version of the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) applied general equilibrium model with a 1995 database. Results are compared to impacts of factor-neutral and biased technical change in primary agricultural production-- grains, non-grain crops, and livestock--overall and with respect to the agrofood sector itself. A given percentage increase in total factor productivity in primary agricultural production is shown by every criterion to have much greater favorable impacts than the same increase in any form of technical change in processing, even when consideration is given only to the welfare of people in the agro-food processing sector itself. Technological change in the non-grain high value agricultural sectors such as horticulture and livestock are second-best, but still powerful promoters of increased welfare. However, the paper is not able to assess the costs or likelihood of securing different kinds of technical change, and therefore comparisons are limited to the benefit side.
Genome-wide and phenome-wide association studies to inform drug development

description: The development of a single drug takes considerable time and resources, yet the failure rate in clinical trials ranges from 86% at phase one to 40% at phase 3. Drugs with strong genetic evidence, generally from genome wide association studies (GWAS), have double the success rate of those that do not. Genetic mimics of drugs investigated through phenome wide association studies (PheWAS) have successfully predicted drug side effects and identified possible repurposing opportunities. However, many phenotypes have been understudied in GWAS and are absent in PheWAS. To address this, I developed new PheWAS software then used that software alongside GWAS methods to investigate chronic sputum and neuropathic pain phenotypes to discover genetic insights to aid drug development.
In the largest known GWAS of chronic sputum I discovered six genome-wide significant findings (P<5x10-8). My findings provide strong evidence for the role of FUT2 in mucus production and as a potential target for drug development.
I identified eight areas of development in PheWAS methods that I addressed with the development of the R package DeepPheWAS. Through analyses I showed the utility of DeepPheWAS, including demonstrating DeepPheWAS being used in published analyses of lung function and thyroid stimulating hormone for novel pathway specific risk scores. I also described an example of how DeepPheWAS had been used by industry collaborators Orion to help inform funding decisions for drug development.
Finally, I performed a GWAS of 32 neuropathic pain phenotypes developed using the DeepPheWAS package. I found seven unique genome-wide significant loci. Sentinel variant rs12277922 for all-cause neuropathic pain showed consistent effect size across the other neuropathic pain phenotypes and nearest gene (intronic) NCAM1 has been implicated in neural sensitisation and degeneration of intervertebral discs. This provides useful evidence for further follow up as a potential target for drug development.
Spatial 't Hooft loop to cubic order in hot QCD II

description: In this paper we provide an exact formula for the area law of the 't Hooft loop for any SU(N) gauge group to cubic order in hot gauge theory. The correction is very small for all temperatures above $T_c$, in stark contrast to the cubic correction to the pressure. The gradient approximation in a previous paper, only valid for large N, is in excellent agreement with the present, exact evalution. Comparison to lattice data is good. Casimir scaling is violated by a small amount not yet resolved by the precision of lattice data.

Classical electrodynamics from the motion of a relativistic fluid

description: We show that there exists a choice of gauge in which the electromagnetic 4-potential may be written as the difference of two 4-velocity vector fields describing the motion of a two-component space-filling relativistic fluid. Maxwell's equations are satisfied immediately, while the Lorentz force equation follows from the interactions of sources and sinks. The usual electromagnetic quantities then admit new interpretations as functions of the local 4-velocities. Electromagnetic waves are found to be described by oscillations of the underlying medium which can therefore be identified with the `luminiferous aether'. The formulation of electrodynamics in terms of 4-velocities is more general than that of the standard 4-potential in that it also allows for a classical description of a large class of vacuum energy configurations. Treated as a self-gravitating fluid, the model can be explicitly identified with Nelson's stochastic formulation of quantum mechanics, making it a promising candidate as the classical field theory unifying gravitation, electromagnetism and quantum theory which Einstein had sought.

description: Using survey data on traders and brokers in the Ethiopian foodgrain market, this paper reveals that the brokerage institution is critical to market performance in that it enables traders to circumvent the commitment problem of long-distance trade with unknown partners. In the absence of grain standardization, public information, and legal contract enforcement, brokers act as inspectors and guarantors of each transaction. The paper analyzes the sources of commitment failure, the role and functions of brokers and the extent of brokerage use by brokers and argues that agency relations are not based on ethnicity, depend on effective reputation rather than trust, and are structured in an incentive-compatible manner.

description: In a recent paper we proposed a mechanism for a continuous transition between a contracting Ekpyrotic phase and the Standard Big Bang phase of expansion: the bounce is generated by an S-brane which represents the effects of higher mass string states in the low energy effective field theory. We showed that gravitational waves on cosmological scales obtain a nearly scale-invariant spectrum. Here, we study the cosmological fluctuations in this setup, assuming that the S-brane has zero shear. We find a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of cosmological perturbations with a slight red tilt. The scenario yields two consistency relations for cosmological observations, the first one relating the tensor to scalar ratio with the scalar spectral tilt, the second relating the tensor tilt to the scalar tilt. The predicted tensor to scalar ratio is within the reach of upcoming CMB observations. The tensor tilt is blue.

description: In the two Higgs doublet model with no additional symmetries in the scalar sector (different from the gauge and Lorentz symmetries), it is customary to reparameterize the model by rotating the scalar doublets such that one of the vacuum expectation values vanishes. It is well known that the Yukawa sector of the model is unaffected by such transformation. Notwithstanding, since the Higgs potential must also be transformed, it is necessary to show that such sector is also unaltered in its physical content. We demostrate that the physical content of the potential is invariant even when the charge conjugation symmetry is demanded.

No Pr displacement was observed across the MI transition temperature from the EXAFS data. Instead, our EXAFS data clearly show that a Ru displacement is associated with this MI transition. The very high Debye temperature for the Ru-P bond ($Θ_D$=690 K) suggests that a slight rotation/displacement of relatively rigid RuP$_6$ octahedra leads to this small Ru displacement, which accompanies the MI transition at 62 K in PrRu$_4$P$_{12}$.

description: Human resources are central to economic development and can be increased in value and productivity by investment in human beings e.g. in their education and health. But for a considerable period in the past economists stressed the importance of the accumulation of man-made physical capital for economic growth and development to the neglect of human resource capital. Nevertheless, in the second half of the 20th century the importance of human resource capital (particularly education) for economic growth came to be recognised. Nevertheless the implications of the formation of human resource capital for sustainable development were given virtually no in-depth attention but it is important to address this matter, as is done here.

description: Ultracompact minihalo (UCMH) is a special type of dark matter halo with a very steep density profile which may form in the early universe seeded by an overdense region or a primordial black hole. Constraints on its abundance give valuable information on the power spectrum of primordial perturbation. In this work, we update the constraints on the UCMH abundance in the universe using the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGB) observation. Comparing to previous works, we adopt the updated Fermi-LAT EGB measurement and derive constraints based on a full consideration of the astrophysical contributions. With these improvements, we place constraints on UCMH abundance 1-2 orders of magnitude better than previous results. With the background components considered, we can also attempt to search for possible additional components beyond the known astrophysical contributions.

description: In this work we investigate the combined finite-size and thermomagnetic effects on the properties of neutral mesons in a hot medium, in the context of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. In particular, by using the mean-field approximation and the Schwinger proper time method in a toroidal topology with antiperiodic conditions, we evaluate the chiral phase transition, the constituent quark mass and meson observables like the $π^0$ and $σ$ meson masses and pion decay constant under the change of the size, temperature, chemical potential and strength of external magnetic field. The results indicate that the observables are strongly affected by the conjoint effects of relevant variables, and the net result will depend on the balance of these competing phenomena.

In the second version of the manuscript, we have obtained results with both periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions; a new Subsection (III.A) has been included with a discussion of the behavior of the critical coupling constant concerning the different boundary conditions; the physical discussion of the results has been enriched

description: Notes the unfavourable female-male ratio in India and its declining trend. In addition, the convergence of this ratio for the scheduled castes towards that of the general casts is noted as well as the slight decline in this ratio for scheduled tribals. A reason for this trend is suggested. Gender inequality is explored by summarising the results of survey of wives in the Midnapore area of West Bengal. Wives in four villages were interviewed so as to include tribals (Santals) and non-tribals, all of whom were Hindus. The socio-economic characteristics of those interviewed are first summarised and general information provided about the survey. The results are then used to consider several aspects of inequality in relation to sons and daughters, to gauge the influence of wives on the welfare of their children and to compare the socio-economic status of wives in comparison to husbands. Comparisons are made between Santal and non-Santal preferences and socio-economic behaviour. the results reported here provide an initial overview of data provided by the survey. This data will be subjected further, at a later time, to statistical analysis e.g. using ANOVA and possibly Probit and Logit relationships will be explored.

A Survey for Low-Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs in the Eta Cha and Eps Cha Young Associations

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004

description: I present the results of a search for new low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the Eta Cha and Eps Cha young associations. Within radii of 1.5 and 0.5 deg surrounding Eta Cha and Eps Cha, respectively, I have constructed color-magnitude diagrams from DENIS and 2MASS photometry and have obtained spectra of the candidate low-mass members therein. The five candidates in Eta Cha are classified as four field M dwarfs and one carbon star. No new members are found in this survey, which is complete for M_sun=0.015-0.15 according to the evolutionary models of Chabrier and Baraffe. Thus, an extended population of low-mass members is not present in Eta Cha out to four times the radius of the known membership. Meanwhile, the three candidate members of Eps Cha are classified as young stars, and thus likely members of the association, based on Li absorption and gravity-sensitive absorption lines. These new sources have spectral types of M2.25, M3.75, and M5.75, corresponding to masses of 0.45, 0.25, and 0.09 M_sun by the models of Chabrier and Baraffe. For one of these stars, intense H(alpha) emission, forbidden line emission, and strong K-band excess emission suggest the presence of accretion, an outflow, and a disk, respectively. This young star is also much fainter than expected for an association member at its spectral type, which could indicate that it is seen in scattered light. No brown dwarfs are detected in Eps Cha down to the completeness limit of 0.015 M_sun. The absence of brown dwarfs in these associations is statistically consistent with the mass functions measured in star-forming regions, which exhibit only ~2 and ~1 brown dwarfs for stellar samples at the sizes of the Eta Cha and Eps Cha associations.

description: This paper examines the importance of property rights in women’s empowerment in rural India. Arguments justifying the need for granting property rights to women are presented and the distinction is made between legal (formal) and customary (informal) rights. The ineffectiveness of legal right in absence of customary rights has been discussed. Customary rights also become ineffective due to other institutional impediments. These impediments have been discussed. The results of extensive field work in rural West Bengal and Orissa have been presented to illustrate the pattern of development process that poor rural women want and in which the property right is only one component, not the only component.

description: In recent years, the dairy sector has been exposed to strong changes in general conditions and extreme fluctuations in milk prices. Farmers and lobbyists have therefore asked politicians for additional market regulation. In this paper an agent-based real options market model is developed, which allows the analysis of the effects of different political schemes on the willingness to invest, firm profitability and economic efficiency in the dairy sector. The model results show that political schemes generally increase the willingness to invest in competitive markets under consideration of real options effects. However, they do not offer any substantial financial benefits to the producers and can cause a significant reduction in welfare. Furthermore, the results suggest that investment subsidies are preferable to lower price limits because the welfare is less reduced under the same stimulation of the willingness to invest.

A new parallel strategy for two-dimensional incompressible flow simulations using pseudo-spectral methods

description: A novel parallel technique for Fourier-Galerkin pseudo-spectral methods with applications to two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations and inviscid Boussinesq approximation equations is presented. It takes the advantage of the programming structure of the phase-shift de-aliased scheme for pseudo-spectral codes, and combines the task-distribution strategy [Yin, Clercx and Montgomery, Comput. Fluids, 33, 509 (2004)] and parallelized Fast Fourier Transform scheme. The performances of the resulting MPI Fortran90 codes with the new procedure on SGI 3800 are reported. For fixed resolution of the same problem, the peak speed of the new scheme can be twice as fast as the old parallel methods. The parallelized codes are used to solve some challenging numerical problems governed by the Navier-Stokes equations and the Boussinesq equations. Two interesting physical problems, namely, the double-valued $ω$-$ψ$ structure in two-dimensional decaying turbulence and the collapse of the bubble cap in the Boussinesq simulation, are solved by using the proposed parallel algorithms.

The Challenge of Editing Einstein's Scientific Manuscripts

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: History and Philosophy of Physics (physics.hist-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Einstein's research manuscripts provide important insights into his exceptional creativity. At the same time, they can present difficulties for a publication in the documentary edition of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein (CPAE). The problems are illustrated by discussing how some important examples of Einstein's research manuscripts have been included in previous volumes of the CPAE series: his Scratch Notebook from the years 1910-1914, his so-called Zurich Notebook from 1912, documenting his early search for a generally covariant theory of gravitation, and the Einstein-Besso manuscript from 1913, containing calculations of Mercury's perihelion advance on the basis of the Einstein-Grossmann equations. Another category of research notes are "back-of-an-envelope" calculations. A major challenge for future volumes of the CPAE series are Einstein's Berlin and Princeton research manuscripts on a unified field theory. This batch of some 1700 undated manuscript pages presents a formidable challenge also for historians of science. Although the web provides new possibilities for the editorial task, such as the publication of facsimiles on the Einstein Archives Online website, it is argued that a satisfactory solution of the editorial problems posed by these manuscripts depends on scholarly efforts to reconstruct and understand the content of Einstein's manuscripts.

Policy Measures for Ecosystem Services: a first survey of the impact of "Floor and Trade" mechanism at farm level in Veneto

description: In the ongoing debate of CAP reform, a new tool was proposed for farms that aims to create a new market for ecosystem goods and services that may be provided by agriculture. The mechanism of floor and trade (FT) assigns each holding a "minimum of environmental goods" that must be provided at farm level to ensure sustainability and justifies the subsides received from CAP. In this proposal we will analyse what might happen in a limited region (Veneto) with the application of FT mechanism, given the geographical conditions and the structural situation of farms, using FADN data. More precisely, we seek to quantify the regional supply curve of environmental services, provided by agricultural activities in case of floor and trade mechanism. We will use as a proxy the amount of carbon that could be sequestered by less intensive farming systems such as grassland and pastures, compared with other more intensive activities, in order to examine the trade-off between the economic goals of farmers and the environmental benefits due to the land use change provided by FT. We will use as methodology the Minimum Data (MD) approach in order to integrate the spatial heterogeneity of the biophysical environment of the different agroecosystems, with economic behaviour of farmers in case of the obligations imposed by the FT mechanism

description: In this paper we investigate the relationship between the properties of a compact set $σ\subseteq \mathbb{C}$ and the structure of the space $BV(σ)$ of functions of bounded variation (in the sense of Ashton and Doust) defined on $σ$. For the subalgebras of absolutely continuous functions on $σ$, it is known that for certain classes of compact sets one obtains a Gelfand--Kolmogorov type result: the function spaces $AC(σ_1)$ and $AC(σ_2)$ are isomorphic if and only if the domain sets $σ_1$ and $σ_2$ are homeomorphic. Our main theorem is that in this case the isomorphism must extend to an isomorphism of the $BV(σ)$ spaces. An application is given to the spectral theory of $AC(σ)$ operators.

description: As part of the evaluation of the activity of a district’s local development group (LAG), valuation by local society could be a potential element of interest. In this paper we present a social valuation of the LAG activity in the Guadix-Marquesado district (south-eastern Spain), where the contingent valuation method is one of the analytical elements used. A number of results show how the LAG has now become part the institutional network closest to local society, which values the increased welfare that its activity generates slightly more than its actual annual operating expenses. This somehow socially legitimizes the public funding it receives. Other results pertaining to change perception, familiarity with LAG activities and the scalar valuation of its social impact are also included.
