title: Asset price bubbles and macroeconomic policies
Creators: name: Galichère, Arthur
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: Asset price bubbles have been affecting economies with ‘modern’ financial systems for at least 400 years. From the Dutch Tulip Mania to the Subprime bubble, passing by the South Sea bubble, the Japanese housing bubble or the Dot-Com bubble, the emergence of bubbles and their burst have marked financial markets and economies all around the world, and are often the cause of financial crises. In the light of the 2008 financial crisis, there is still some ambiguity on the measures that need to be adopted to deflate or limit the impact of these bubbles. Since bursting bubbles may lead to financial crises, it is crucial to make clarifications on their behaviours and policy recommendations on how to deal with asset price bubbles. My Thesis proposes an investigation of their existences, of their effects on the economy and analyses on the utilisation of monetary policy as an instrument to deflate bubbles, or at least, to limits their impact on economies. Chapter 1 starts with an overview on what are asset price bubbles and what do we know about them. Chapter 2 analyses the dynamic ownership of bubbles and their effects on the real activity and financial stability. Chapter 3 studies monetary policy in a New Keynesian model with an asset price bubble. Chapter 4 develops and estimates a DSGE model with stock market bubbles and nominal rigidities using Bayesian methods.

description: Parental care can protect offspring from predators but can also create opportunities for parents to vector parasites to their offspring. We hypothesized that the risk of infection by maternally vectored parasites would increase with the frequency of mother–offspring contact. Ammophila spp. wasps (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) build nests in which they rear single offspring. Ammophila species exhibit varied offspring provisioning behaviours: some species enter the nest once to provision a single, large caterpillar, whereas others enter the nest repeatedly to provision with many smaller caterpillars. We hypothesized that each nest visit increases the risk of offspring parasitism by Paraxenos lugubris (Strepsiptera: Xenidae), whose infectious stages ride on the mother wasp (phoresy) to reach the vulnerable Ammophila offspring. We quantified parasitism risk by external examination of museum-curated Ammophila specimens—the anterior portion of P. lugubris protrudes between the adult host's abdominal sclerites and reflects infection during the larval stage. As predicted, Ammophila species that receive larger numbers of provisions incur greater risks of parasitism, with nest provisioning behaviour explaining ca 90% of the interspecific variation in mean parasitism. These findings demonstrate that parental care can augment, rather than reduce, the risk of parasite transmission to offspring.

L’article reprend en partie les résultats d’une publication de ce bulletin (Keller 2014), en particulier pour ce qui concerne l’alternance du taux de floraison de l’espèce. Ce phénomène continue à s’exprimer par un taux de floraison qui oscille relativement bien sur une période de deux ans (une année de bonne floraison succédant à une année de basse floraison, puis inversement). La période d’observation, prolongée d’une durée de six ans, soit jusqu’en 2020, a permis d’établir l’évolution d’un autre paramètre : la diminution du nombre total de rosettes, autrement dit de la vigueur de la population, ce total résultant de la somme des rosettes ne comprenant que des feuilles (les rosettes « stériles ») et des rosettes de feuilles portant une inflorescence. Cet article s’aventure sur le terrain des mathématiques, ce qui surprendra beaucoup de lecteurs du Bulletin, mais cela nous a paru nécessaire pour soutenir ou écarter des hypothèses.

description: The effect of isothermal aging on the harmonic vibration durability of

Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu solder interconnects is examined. Printed wiring assemblies with

daisy-chained leadless chip resistors (LCRs) are aged at 125°C for 0, 100, and 500

hours. These assemblies are instrumented with accelerometers and strain gages to

maintain the same harmonic vibration profile in-test, and to characterize PWB

behavior. The tested assemblies are excited at their first natural frequencies until

LCRs show a resistance increase of 20%. Dynamic finite element models are

employed to generate strain transfer functions, which relate board strain levels

observed in-test to respective solder strain levels. The transfer functions are based on

locally averaged values of strains in critical regions of the solder and in appropriate

regions of the PWB. The vibration test data and the solder strains from FEA are used

to estimate lower-bound material fatigue curves for SAC305 solder materials, as a

function of isothermal pre-aging.

description: Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are known for the unique properties conferred by their small size and have found wide application in food safety analyses. However, their high surface energy and strong magnetization often lead to aggregation, compromising their functions. In this study, iron oxide magnetic particles (MPs) over the range of nano to micro size were synthesized, from which particles with less aggregation and excellent magnetic properties were obtained. MPs were synthesized via three different hydrothermal procedures, using poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) of different molecular weight (Mw) as the stabilizer. The particle size, morphology, and magnetic properties of the MPs from these synthesis procedures were characterized and compared. Among the three syntheses, one-step hydrothermal synthesis demonstrated the highest yield and most efficient magnetic collection of the resulting PAA-coated magnetic microparticles (PAA-MMPs, >100 nm). Iron oxide content of these PAA-MMPs was around 90%, and the saturation magnetization ranged from

70.3 emu/g to 57.0 emu/g, depending on the Mw of PAA used. In this approach, the particles prepared using PAA with Mw of 100K g/mol exhibited super-paramagnetic behavior with ~65% lower coercivity and remanence compared to others. They were therefore less susceptible to aggregation and remained remarkably water-dispersible even after one-month storage. Three applications involving PAA-MMPs from one-step hydrothermal synthesis were explored: food proteins and enzymes immobilization, antibody conjugation for pathogen capture, and magnetic hydrogel film fabrication. These studies demonstrated their versatile functions as well as their potential applications in the food science area.

Diagnosis (after Krömmelbein 1962, somewhat altered): lateral outline of the valves kidney-shaped. Dorsal margin runs fairly straight in the centre, rising slightly towards the posterior, as a consequence the maximum carapace height lies far towards the posterior. The anterior margin is drawn out downwards towards the front in a characteristic way, and the anterior part of the ventral margin curves inwards strongly. Carapace outline in dorsal view biconvex with rather flattened flanks, very rarely strongly bulged at the posterior.

description: The aim of this study is to develop new methods for evaluating the economic efficiency of federal retail chains for food and consumer goods in Russia using a cluster approach. The analysis focuses on data from over 15,000 stores of the Magnit retail chain between 2021 and 2022. The study uses the k-means method and IBM SPSS Statistics software to identify: the optimal approach for selecting cluster centers; the optimal number of clusters; key factors influencing economic efficiency within clusters; an optimal assortment level based on benchmarks within each cluster; and recommendations for re-clustering stores with the potential to improve economic efficiency through different re-clustering scenarios. The results demonstrate that assessing economic efficiency based on benchmarks within clusters, where centers are formed by refrigeration equipment for fresh categories, reveals a significant potential for enhancing economic efficiency in retail chains through precise management of assortments, logistics, and resources. Applying this approach in practice reduces losses in the retail network by 15-20% and increases EBITDA by 1.54%, depending on the scenario. This leads to an overall increase in profitability by 13.2%, making a significant contribution to retail management. The proposed approach provides an innovative method for assessing and improving economic efficiency using a cluster approach and K-means clustering with special attention paid to practical application in highly competitive and digitalizing markets. The results obtained can serve as a basis for further research and the development of comprehensive "cluster strategies", which will help to strengthen the competitive positions of large federal retail chains.

description: Psychological research has strongly documented the memory-enhancing effects of emotional arousal, while the effects of acute aerobic exercise on memory are not well understood.  Manipulation of arousal has been shown to enhance long-term memory for emotional stimuli in a time-dependent fashion.  This presents an opportunity to investigate the role of acute exercise in memory modulation.  The purpose of this study was to determine the time-dependent relationship between acute exercise-induced arousal and long-term emotional memory.  Participants viewed pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant images before or after completing a high-intensity session of cycling exercise.  Salivary alpha-amylase, a biomarker of central norepinephrine, was measured as an indicator of arousal.  No effects of exercise on recognition memory were revealed, however; a single session of high-intensity cycling increased salivary alpha-amylase.  Our results also indicate that the influence of exercise on emotional responsiveness should be considered in further exploration of the memory-enhancing potential of acute exercise.

description: In this novel segment titled The Cameraman, a fictionalized version of silent film icon Buster Keaton grapples with his newfound role at big picture studio MGM, which has stripped him of his creative influence. For the first time in his career, Buster must operate with little authority in what was the beginning of the Hollywood studio system. This excerpt’s narrative present takes place in New York City in 1928 during the filming of The Cameraman, with flashbacks to Los Angeles in 1927, prior to the filming. The close third-person narrator examines what it means for Buster to be famous, to be an artist, and what happens when public and private identities are conflated.

description: Set in 2008 Puerto Rico, this novel aims to explore the relationship between constructed masks of personal identity, the increasingly interconnected nature of community, and their confluence in the worlds of politics, media, social activism, and business through a narrative examination of the ways in which three primary characters affect the lives of those around them. Jaime, a meditative young man with a penchant for planes, comes home to find the power shut off and his drug-addict mother gone. His best friend, Yarique, a disaffected stoner with a false sense of machismo, becomes an overnight sensation after an escalating series of violent run-ins with his abuelo’s neighbor. Ravolo Soto, a reclusive pitorro distiller, drinks to keep The Other in check, but takes off into the jungles of Lares, hiding out in his father’s mountain shack, after a violent encounter with the police leaves one officer dead.

description: Urban planning in China is in a period of change, where participatory planning may supplement the traditional planning system. Since the beginning of the 21st century, several pilot participatory planning projects have responded to the new challenge. The author collected eight cases from the Chinese planning institution to explore the possible models of and barriers to participatory planning. On the other hand, public participation has been a concrete component of planning and implementation process in the United States. The author will also elaborate on one practical case of the planning process in the United States to compare the two countries on planning methods and barriers.

Not Very Far, But Not Close Either
Creators: name: Goldman, Tyler
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Creative writing

description: In “Not Very Far, But Not Close Either”, formal lyrics, free verse poems, and translations from the first century Latin of Martial and Horace explore ideas of distance: the physical distance between bodies, the psychological distance between (and within) human minds, the temporal distance between past, present, and future. A speaker considers his relationship to the image in a foggy bathroom mirror, another to the bird living behind his house, another to the ghosts of his dead parents, whom he asks to watch over a beloved and recently departed child.  In exploring these distances—between self and semblance, man and bird, living and dead—the speakers of these poems attempt to locate themselves the only way we can ever locate anything: in relation to something—or someone—else. In this spirit, the manuscript incorporates not only translations and original poems, but poems adapted from and taken after the work of poets who have explored similar themes, questions, and concerns.

description: CAR-T Manufacturing suffers from labor intensive manufacturing, biological variability of patient material while inflexible production protocols are employed. To improve the availability of CAR-T therapies to patient the AIDPATH EU-Project aims to develop build and test a modular decentralized manufacturing system for CAR-T therapy. Automating using a closed handling approach allows for parallelization while the modularity enables broad technological compatibility. Automated sampling for in-line quality control collects large amount of data on the cell samples which are fed in an AI-digital twin of the CAR-T product to support and adapt the manufacturing process. Automating the manufac-turing process and accounting for biological variability is the key to optimize CAR-T cell production.

description: Recycled materials replacing part of virgin materials in highway applications has shown great benefits to the society and environment. Beneficial use of recycled materials can save landfill places, sparse natural resources, and energy consumed in milling and hauling virgin materials. Low price of recycled materials is favorable to cost-saving in pavement projects. Considering the availability of recycled materials in the State of Maryland (MD), four abundant recycled materials, recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), foundry sand (FS), and dredged materials (DM), were studied. A survey was conducted to collect the information of current usage of the four recycled materials in States’ Department of Transportation (DOTs). Based on literature review, mechanical and environmental properties, recommendations, and suggested test standards were investigated separately for the four recycled materials in different applications. Constrains in using these materials were further studied in order to provide recommendations for the development of related MD specifications. To measure social and environmental benefits from using recycled materials, life-cycle assessment was carried out with life-cycle analysis (LCA) program, PaLATE, and green highway rating system, BEST-in-Highway.

The survey results indicated the wide use of RAP and RCA in hot mix asphalt (HMA) and graded aggregate base (GAB) respectively, while FS and DM are less used in field. Environmental concerns are less, but the possibly low quality and some adverse mechanical characteristics may hinder the widely use of these recycled materials. Technical documents and current specifications provided by State DOTs are good references to the usage of these materials in MD. Literature review showed consistent results with the survey. Studies from experimental research or site tests showed satisfactory performance of these materials in highway applications, when the substitution rate, gradation, temperature, moisture, or usage of additives, etc. meet some requirements. The results from LCA revealed significant cost savings in using recycled materials. Energy and water consumption, gas emission, and hazardous waste generation generally showed reductions to some degree. Use of new recycled technologies will contribute to more sustainable highways.
Coach Vygotsky: Developing the Pedagogical Creativity of Distance Running Coaches
Creators: name: Lum, Oli
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 420799
subject: Sports science and exercise not elsewhere classified

description: The application of pedagogical literature to sports coaching is not an uncommon practice and, since being initiated by Jones’ (2006a) explicit re-conceptualisation of the role of the sports coach as educator, recognition of coaching’s pedagogical nature has gained increasing impetus (Jones et al., 2018). One theorist given increasing attention in this regard has been Lev Vygotsky. Whilst this work has opened up alternative avenues of scholarly inquiry within coaching,
Jones et al. (2018) discuss how the majority of engagements with Vygotsky’s thinking have been somewhat limited. With this in mind, the origins of this thesis were formed around Vygotsky’s (1978; 1986; 1990; 1994; 1997; 2019) ideas about learning and the potential impact, both practically and theoretically, that such work might have upon the field of sports coaching. Through an action research approach then, the pedagogical practice of three elite distance running coaches was developed over the course of the project. Although many of these developments were specific to elite
distance running contexts, the findings have practical and
theoretical implications for the wider field of sports coaching. Not in the simplistic sense of taking the ideas presented here and applying them in theory and practice, but in an advocation for the bending and blending of Vygotskyan ideas in relation to any given cultural historical context; whether that be practical or theoretical.
The Effect of Package Geometry on Moisture Driven Degradation of Polymer Aluminum Capacitors

description: Polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitors were introduced to provide an alternative to liquid electrolytic capacitors. Polymer electrolytic capacitor electric parameters of capacitance and ESR are less temperature dependent than those of liquid aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Furthermore, the electrical conductivity of the polymer used in these capacitors (poly-3,4ethylenedioxithiophene) is orders of magnitude higher than the electrolytes used in liquid aluminum electrolytic capacitors, resulting in capacitors with much lower equivalent series resistance which are suitable for use in high ripple-current applications. The presence of the moisture-sensitive polymer PEDOT introduces concerns on the reliability of polymer aluminum capacitors in high humidity conditions.  Highly accelerated stress testing (or HAST) (110ºC, 85% relative humidity) of polymer aluminum capacitors in which the parts were subjected to unbiased HAST conditions for 700 hours was done to understand the design factors that contribute to the susceptibility to degradation of a polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor exposed to HAST conditions. A large scale study involving capacitors of different electrical ratings (2.5V – 16V, 100µF – 470 µF), mounting types (surface-mount and through-hole) and manufacturers (6 different manufacturers) was done to determine a relationship between package geometry and reliability in high temperature-humidity conditions.  A Geometry-Based HAST test in which the part selection limited variations between capacitor samples to geometric differences only was done to analyze the effect of package geometry on humidity-driven degradation more closely. Raman spectroscopy, x-ray imaging, environmental scanning electron microscopy, and destructive analysis of the capacitors after HAST exposure was done to determine the failure mechanisms of polymer aluminum capacitors under high temperature-humidity conditions.
Heat Transfer Measurements in a Supersonic Film Flow

description: This thesis presents measurements of wall heat flux and flow structure in a canonical film cooling configuration with Mach 2.3 core flow in which the coolant is injected parallel to the wall through a two-dimensional louver.  Four operating conditions are investigated: no film (i.e. flow over a rearward-facing step), subsonic film, pressure-matched film, and supersonic film.  The overall objective is to provide a set of experimental data with well characterized boundary conditions that can be used for code validation.   The results are compared to RANS and LES simulations which overpredict heat transfer in the subsonic film cases and underpredict heat transfer in supersonic cases after film breakdown.  The thesis also describes a number of improvements that were made to the experimental facility including new Schlieren optics, a better film heater, more data at more locations, and a verification of the heat flux measurement hardware and data reduction methods.

Subjects: subject: Creative writing
subject: Poetry

description: Landfall considers the arbitrariness of our attachments to both people and places, while at the same time marveling at the inevitability and necessity of those attachments. The importance of place in these poems, most prominently that of southern Louisiana, is pervasive, and the insistent description of landscape becomes inextricable from an interrogation of personal and familial relationships. The power of such bonds seems to defy any satisfactory explanation, but by drawing on personal narrative as well as on the natural world, these poems begin, cautiously and in fragments, to approach and confront that power.
