description: Σκοπός της διατριβής είναι να τεκμηριωθεί η άποψη, ότι ενώ η ευελιξία στη χρήση ενός θεατρικού χώρου είναι ανέφικτη όταν αναφέρεται σε ετερόκλιτα θεάματα, υπάρχει μια χρυσή τομή, ουσιαστικά ένα εύρος ευελιξίας, μέσα στο οποίο η λειτουργία του θεατρικού χώρου είναι ικανοποιητική, για όλες τις προδιαγραφές που ορίζουν οι ανάγκες του φιλοξενούμενου θεάματος. Ο εντοπισμός και ορισμός αυτού του εύρους ευελιξίας στην ικανότητα των αιθουσών να παραλαμβάνουν διαφορετικές λειτουργίες – παραστάσεις, μεταβάλλοντας τα αρχιτεκτονικά τους στοιχεία, αποτελεί το βαθμό προσαρμοστικότητας. Με άλλα λόγια ο βαθμός προσαρμοστικότητας, είναι το αποτέλεσμα της αξιολόγησης των επιμέρους στοιχείων ενός χώρου, ως προς τις δυνατότητες που έχει ή που πρέπει να έχει, έτσι ώστε να μπορεί να συνδυάσει το μέγιστο βαθμό ευελιξίας με τις βέλτιστες συνθήκες λειτουργίας. Ο ορισμός προκύπτει από το συνδυασμό των προδιαγραφών που ορίζονται από τις νέες εκφραστικές τάσεις των παραστατικών τεχνών, με τη συγκριτική αξιολόγηση των μεθόδων ευελιξίας των θεατρικών χώρων.
description: The purpose of this thesis is to substantiate the view that while the flexibility in the use of a theatrical space is impossible when referring to heterogeneous performances, there is a balance, essentially a range of flexibility within which the operation of the theater space is satisfactory for all specifications that define the needs of each guest spectacle. The identification and definition of this range of flexibility in the ability of halls to receive different functions - performances changing the architectural elements, constitutes the degree of adaptability. In other words, the degree of adaptability is the result of the evaluation of individual components of a space to its potential, or should have, so that it could combine the highest degree of flexibility to the best operating conditions. The definition results from the combination of specifications defined by the new expressive tendencies of the performing arts, with the comparative evaluation of the flexibility methods of the theatrical spaces.

description: Cloud computing is an example of a promising technological paradigm which possesses the potential to act as a catalyst to drive radical innovations in the development of the networked society. While some information and communication technology (ICT) providers have reaped the rewards by transitioning from antiquated hardware and service provision to more propitious cloud-based service provision methods, others have experienced substantial difficulties related to the formulation and operationalization of effective business models. This paper presents a research framework which can serve as a lens for exploring how digital organizations can execute their core business model decisions along increasingly specific decision making levels. Taking the perspective of an exemplar established large ICT provider, our study uses the research framework in order to provide new insight for facilitating cloud computing supply-side business model effectiveness.
Nahm transform and parabolic minimal Laplace transform

description: We prove that Nahm transform for integrable connections with a finite number of regular singularities and an irregular singularity of rank 1 on the Riemann sphere is equivalent -- up to considering integrable connections as holonomic $\D$-modules -- to minimal Laplace transform. We assume semi-simplicity and resonance-freeness conditions, and we work in the framework of objects with a parabolic structure. In particular, we describe the definition of the parabolic version of Laplace transform due to C. Sabbah. The proof of the main result relies on the study of a twisted de Rham complex.

description: We do it secretly, sometimes even alone at night. We celebrate it with friends. Sometimes it’s a quick bite on the go, other times a long, lazy morning at the buffet table. We consume our daily bread in many different variations, and in this issue of the Junge Akademie Magazin (JAM), we savour the opportunity to take a look at food from many different angles – literary, symbolic, musical and scientific. We’ll think about the future of food consumption. Did you know that during the 20th century, agricultural yields grew threefold? The reason: the invention of the Haber-Bosch process. The resulting chemical fixation of nitrogen in ammonia laid the foundation for modern nitrogen fertilizer. And yet this increase in productivity will not ensure sufficient food production in the future. In order to feed the growing world population, agricultural yields would need to double by 2050 – not to mention the demand for additional biomass-based fuels that are increasingly competing with food products. The challenge is enormous and it is time to rethink some of our habits. Within the Junge Akademie, the Research Group ‘Sustainability’ has decided to focus more on the topic of food and agricultural practices. To mark the introduction of this new key topic, geographer Tobias Kümmerle describes how food consumption practices in Europe are changing the South American landscape of Gran Chaco. An enormous amount of food goes to waste every year, and agricultural scientist Jadwiga Ziolkowska investigates why that happens. Miriam Akkermann, who is actually a musicologist, embarks on a self-experiment and explores a kitchen and a cuisine of the future. On top of that, in this issue we address the consequences of the abolition of the ban on federal-state co-operation: What opportunities does this provide for young scholars in the German academic system? Within the ongoing public debate, we proposed the creation of federal professorships, an idea that has met with controversy both in the Junge Akademie and the wider public discussion. We hope that our contribution to the debate will go on to have more than just a theoretical impact. The editorial team and I hope you enjoy sinking your teeth into this issue. Tobi J. Erb

description: Dust in galaxies can be mapped by either the FIR/sub-mm emission, the optical or infrared reddening of starlight, or the extinction of a known background source. We compare two dust extinction measurements for a set of fifteen sections in thirteen nearby galaxies, to determine the scale of the dusty ISM responsible for disk opacity: one using stellar reddening and the other a known background source. In our earlier papers, we presented extinction measurements of 29 galaxies, based on calibrated counts of distant background objects identified though foreground disks in HST/WFPC2 images. For the 13 galaxies that overlap with the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS), we now compare these results with those obtained from an I-L color map. Our goal is to determine whether or not a detected distant galaxy indicates a gap in the dusty ISM, and hence to better understand the nature and geometry of the disk extinction. We find that distant galaxies are predominantly in low-extinction sections marked by the color maps, indicating that their number depends both on the cloud cover of {\it Spitzer}-resolved dust structures --mostly the spiral arms--and a diffuse, unresolved underlying disk. We note that our infrared color map (E[I-L]) underestimates the overall dust presence in these disks severely, because it implicitly assumes the presence of a dust screen in front of the stellar distribution.

title: A Stochastic Complexity Perspective of Induction in Economics and Inference in Dynamics
Creators: name: Velupillai, K. Vela
Publisher: name: National University of Ireland, Galway
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Economics

description: Rissanen's fertile and pioneering minimum description length principle (MDL) has been viewed from the point of view of statistical estimation theory, information theory, as stochastic complexity theory - i.e., a computable approximation of Kolomogorov Complexity - or Solomonoff's recursion theoretic induction principle or as analogous to Kolmogorov's sufficient statistics. All these - and many more - interpretations are valid, interesting and fertile. In this paper I view it from two points of view: those of an algorithmic economist and a dynamical system theorist. From these points of view I suggest, first, a recasting of Jevon's sceptical vision of induction in the light of MDL; and a complexity interpretation of an undecidable question in dynamics.

description: Η παρούσα διατριβή αναφέρεται στη δυναμική μελέτη των γαλαξιών ως ρεαλιστικών φυσικών συστημάτων. Με τον όρο «ρεαλιστικά φυσικά συστήματα» εννοούμε ότι όλα τα συστήματα περιγράφονται με κλασσικά δυναμικά πρότυπα που η κατασκευή τους έχει ως βάση τις παρατηρήσεις. Επιπλέον, στα πρότυπα που μελετούμε μας ενδιαφέρει ο ρόλος που παίζουν οι διάφορες φυσικές παράμετροι, όπως είναι η μάζα, η πυκνότητα, η στροφορμή και οι φυσικές διαστάσεις, στη συμπεριφορά των συστημάτων αυτών. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, μελετάμε τη δυναμική συμπεριφορά και τη σχέση της με τις φυσικές παραμέτρους σε αξονικά συμμετρικά συστήματα, την αντίστοιχη συμπεριφορά σε ραβδωτούς γαλαξίες, ενώ τέλος επικεντρωνόμαστε σε ενεργούς γαλαξίες, όπως είναι τα αντικείμενα BL-Lac, και στους ημιαστέρες.
description: This dissertation refers to the dynamical study of galaxies as realistic physical systems. By the term "realistic physical systems", we mean that all systems are described by classic dynamical models and their construction had been based on observations. In addition, we study the effects of the various physical parameters, such as the mass, the density and the angular momentum, on the dynamical behavior of these systems. In particular, we study the dynamical behavior and its relationship to the physical parameters in axially symmetric models, then we study the properties of orbits in barred galaxies, and, finally, we concentrate on active galaxies, such as BL-Lacertae objects, and quasars.

description: In this paper we derive 4-dimensional General Relativity from three dimensions, using the intrinsic spatial geometry inherent in Yang--Mills theory which has been exposed by previous authors as well as as some properties of the Ashtekar variables. We provide various interesting relations, including the fact that General Relativity can be written as a Yang--Mills theory where the antiself-dual Weyl curvature replaces the Yang--Mills coupling constant. We have generalized the results of some previous authors, covering Einsteins spaces, to include more general spacetime geometries.

description: This research utilises a contingent behaviour valuation technique to value a number of improvements to recreational facilities in small-scale forests in Ireland. Willingness¿to-pay estimates have previously been made for Coillte (Ireland¿s state-owned forestry company) trails and forests. The total non-market value of Irish forests has also been examined. This paper adds to the literature by being the first to estimate the consumer surplus associated with recreational enhancements to Irish small-scale forest resources. The results presented indicate that community owned small-scale forestry can contribute enormously to the wellbeing of nearby urban residents, through the provision of outdoor recreational services.

Synthesis of cholesterol based model glycolipids
Creators: name: Sather, Paula Joan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The synthesis of glycolipids containing a variable length polyethylene glycol spacer group between a glucuronic acid (glu) headgroup and a cholesterol (chol) tail glu-0CH₂(CH₂OCH₂ )nCH₂O-chol is described. The homologs (n=2,3,5) were prepared by reaction of an excess of commercially available tri, tetra and hexaethylene glycols with cholesteryl-p-toluene sulfonate. 3-O-(8-hydroxy-3,6-dioxaoctyl) cholest-5-ene (2), 3-O-(ll-hydroxy-3,6,9-trioxaundecyl)cholest-5-ene (3) and 3-O-(17-hydroxy-3,6,9,12,15-pentaoxaheptadecyl)cholest-5-ene (4) were produced, and yields were dependent on the amount of excess used. The headgroup was prepared by esterification and acetylation of glucuronolactone to produce methyl (1, 2, 3, 4-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyran)uronate which was then brominated at the anomeric carbon to produce methyl (2, 3, 4-tri-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide)uronate (1). The headgroup was coupled to the cholesteroxy oligoethylene glycols by a Koenig Knorr type reaction using freshly prepared silver carbonate as the catalyst. Methyl[3-O-(3,6-dioxaoctyl)cholest-5-en-3β-y1-2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosid] uronate (5), Methyl[3-O-(3,6,9-trioxaundecyl) cholest-5-en-3β-yl-2,3,4-tri-0-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosid] uronate (6), and Methyl[3-O-(3,6,9,12,15-pentaoxaheptadecyl)cholest-5-en-3β-yl-2, 3, 4-tri-O -acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosid] uronate (7) were produced with yields of up to 30%. The removal of the methyl ester and acetate protecting groups on the headgroup was accomplished using NaOH in a mixture of solvents followed by acidification with HCl to produce 3-O-(3,6-dioxaoctyl)cholest-5-en-3β-yl-β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid (8) and 3-O-(3,6,9-trioxaundecyl)cholest-5-en-3β-yl-β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid (9). Octaethylene glycol and dodecaethylene glycol were prepared using a solid supported synthesis. The solid polymer used was a trityl chloride functionalized polystyrene 1% divinyl benzene. Mono protected tetraethylene glycol was prepared and attached to the polymer. The protecting group was removed, and the hydroxy terminal was converted to a mesylate leaving group by reaction with methane sulfonyl chloride. To elongate the chain, the anion of tetraethylene glycol was prepared using sodium hydride in DMF. The tetraethylene glycol bound resin was added, and reaction continued at 120 °C for 24 hours. Cleavage of the resultant product from the polymer support yielded octaethylene glycol. Repetition of the mesylation and elongation steps followed by cleavage yielded dodecaethylene glycol. The oligoethylene glycols were purified by passage through a Fractogel 40S gel permeation column. Two different protecting groups for the tetraethylene glycol were tried. Trialkyl silyl groups were first attempted, but were abandoned due to reduced reactivity and monitoring difficulties during the deprotection. An acetate protecting group was finally used and deprotection was monitored with infrared spectroscopy.
Modeling of Transitional Channel Flow Using Balanced Proper Orthogonal Decomposition

description: We study reduced-order models of three-dimensional perturbations in linearized channel flow using balanced proper orthogonal decomposition (BPOD). The models are obtained from three-dimensional simulations in physical space as opposed to the traditional single-wavenumber approach, and are therefore better able to capture the effects of localized disturbances or localized actuators. In order to assess the performance of the models, we consider the impulse response and frequency response, and variation of the Reynolds number as a model parameter. We show that the BPOD procedure yields models that capture the transient growth well at a low order, whereas standard POD does not capture the growth unless a considerably larger number of modes is included, and even then can be inaccurate. In the case of a localized actuator, we show that POD modes which are not energetically significant can be very important for capturing the energy growth. In addition, a comparison of the subspaces resulting from the two methods suggests that the use of a non-orthogonal projection with adjoint modes is most likely the main reason for the superior performance of BPOD. We also demonstrate that for single-wavenumber perturbations, low-order BPOD models reproduce the dominant eigenvalues of the full system better than POD models of the same order. These features indicate that the simple, yet accurate BPOD models are a good candidate for developing model-based controllers for channel flow.

Suppression of growth by multiplicative white noise in a parametric resonant system

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The author studied the growth of the amplitude in a Mathieu-like equation with multiplicative white noise. The approximate value of the exponent at the extremum on parametric resonance regions was obtained theoretically by introducing the width of time interval, and the exponents were calculated numerically by solving the stochastic differential equations by a symplectic numerical method. The Mathieu-like equation contains a parameter $α$ that is determined by the intensity of noise and the strength of the coupling between the variable and the noise. The value of $α$ was restricted not to be negative without loss of generality. It was shown that the exponent decreases with $α$, reaches a minimum and increases after that. It was also found that the exponent as a function of $α$ has only one minimum at $α\neq 0$ on parametric resonance regions of $α= 0$. This minimum value is obtained theoretically and numerically. The existence of the minimum at $α\neq 0$ indicates the suppression of the growth by multiplicative white noise.

description: We discuss the cosmological degeneracy between the age of the Universe, the Hubble parameter and the effective number of relativistic particles N_eff. We show that independent determinations of the Hubble parameter H(z) as those recently provided by Simon,Verde, Jimenez (2006), combined with other cosmological data sets can provide the most stringent constraint on N_eff, yielding N_eff=3.7 (-1.2) (+1.1) at 95% confidence level. A neutrino background is detected with high significance: N_eff >1.8 at better than 99% confidence level. Constraints on the age of the universe in the framework of an extra background of relativistic particles are improved by a factor 3.

description: The pervasive and complex nature of "international outsourcing" has hampered efforts to quantify the importance of this phenomenon for national economies. Indeed, available evidence on the extent of "offshoring" associated with the U.S. economy is scant, rendering analyses of its economic impacts as unreliable at best. Attempts to gauge its direct employment effects must overcome definitional problems and data limitations, even if one ignores the immeasurable dimensions of this issue. The present study offers insight into the nature and extent of "captive offshoring" in relation to the entire U.S. economy. Using government data that report foreign affiliate sales back to U.S. parent firms, we provide a "ballpark" estimate of the potential for domestic employment loss associated with this type of foreign investment activity.
La controverse de 1874 entre Camille Jordan et Leopold Kronecker
Creators: name: Brechenmacher, Frederic
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: History and Overview (math.HO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: During the whole of 1874, Camille Jordan and Leopold Kronecker quar- relled vigorously over the organisation of the theory of bilinear forms. That theory promised a "general" and "homogeneous" treatment of numerous questions arising in various 19th-century theoretical contexts, and it hinged on two theorems, stated independently by Jordan and Weierstrass, that would today be considered equivalent. It was, however, the perceived difference between those two theorems that sparked the 1874 controversy. Focusing on this quarrel allows us to explore the algebraic identity of the polynomial practices of the manipulations of forms in use before the advent of structural approaches to linear algebra. The latter approaches identified these practices with methods for the classification of similar matrices. We show that the prac- tices -- Jordan's canonical reduction and Kronecker's invariant computation -- reflect identities inseparable from the social context of the time. Moreover, these practices reveal not only tacit knowledge, local ways of thinking, but also -- in light of a long history tracing back to the work of Lagrange, Laplace, Cau- chy, and Hermite -- two internal philosophies regarding the significance of generality which are inseparable from two disciplinary ideals opposing algebra and arithmetic. By interrogating the cultural identities of such practices, this study aims at a deeper understanding of the history of linear algebra without focusing on issues related to the origins of theories or structures.

description: Στην παρούσα διατριβή μελετήθηκαν κινήσεις αστέρων σε γαλαξιακά δυναμικά πρότυπα. Αρχικά μελετήθηκαν, με τις κλασικές μεθόδους της επιφάνειας τομής Poincare και των εκθετών Lyapunov, οι ιδιότητες της κίνησης σε δύο γαλαξιακά δυναμικά πρότυπα. Τα πρότυπα αυτά προήλθαν από την εφαρμογή της θεωρίας του Αντιστρόφου Προβλήματος σε δύο οικογένειες τροχιών. Το πρώτο προήλθε από μια οικογένεια τροχιών σχήματος «οκτώ», ενώ το δεύτερο προήλθε από μια οικογένεια ομοεστιακών ελλείψεων. Στη συνέχεια διερευνήθηκε η δυνατότητα εξακρίβωσης του χαοτικού ή κανονικού χαρακτήρα της κίνησης, με βάση τις γνωστές και αναπτυσσόμενες τα τελευταία χρόνια διαδικασίες των δυναμικών φασμάτων (dynamical spectra). Εξετάστηκε το κατά πόσον είναι εφικτό να έχουμε διάκριση χαοτικών και κανονικών τροχιών, χρησιμοποιώντας την κατανομή κατά μήκος μιας τροχιάς ορισμένων στοιχείων της τροχιάς αυτής και μόνον, χωρίς εμπλοκή κάποιας γειτονικής της. Τέλος, παρουσιάζεται η ανάπτυξη και εφαρμογή μιας νέας μεθόδου με την οποία επιχειρήθηκε να προστεθεί ένα επιπλέον εργαλείο μελέτης των ιδιοτήτων της κίνησης σε γαλαξιακά δυναμικά πρότυπα. Η μέθοδος αυτή συνίσταται στην ανίχνευση κανονικοτήτων σε μια σειρά από χρονικά διαστήματα. Το καθένα από τα χρονικά αυτά διαστήματα είναι ο χρόνος, ο οποίος μεσολαβεί μεταξύ δύο διαδοχικών διελεύσεων της τροχιάς από την επιφάνεια τομής.
description: In this thesis stellar motion in galactic dynamical models is studied. In the begining, the properties of motion in two galactic dynamical models are studied using the conventional methods of Poincare surface of section and Lyapunov exponents. These models were derived from the application of the theory of inverse problem in two families of orbits. The first came from a family of figure-eight orbits, while the second came from a family of confocal ellipses. Then we investigated the possibility of verifying the chaotic or regular character of motion, based on known and developing procedures in recent years, the dynamical spectra. Examined whether it is feasible to distinguish chaotic and regular orbits, using the distribution along a trajectory of some elements of this orbit alone, without the involvement of a nearby orbit. Finally, the development and implementation of a new method which attempted to add an additional tool for studying the properties of motion in galactic dynamical models is presented. This method relies on the detection of regularities in a series of time intervals. Each of these intervals is the time which elapses between two successive crossings of the orbit with the surface of section.

description: Contracts for Difference (CFDs) have existed for less than twenty years and the market has grown significantly up to the period before the recent international crises. This paper presents an analysis of how CFDs have affected equity market volatility in Ireland. EGARCH models are used to uncover volatility changes in the periods before and after the introduction of the new trading product in Ireland. We find that CFDs appear to have lowered asset-specific volatility across the majority of equities traded on the Irish Stock Exchange. These findings do not correspond to the expected volatility increase associated with leveraged products that are closely associated with high frequency trading. Our empirical analysis suggests that CFDs are having an alternative volatility reducing effect through the presence of bid and ask price overhangs that are generated through the hedging practices of CFD brokers. A fully worked example of the development of an overhang is provided.

description: Libraries and societies share a commitment to helping researchers preserve, share, discover, and receive credit for their research data and software. As partners, together they offer services, guidance, and coordinate improvements throughout the research lifecycle to guide researchers to organize, describe, and curate their data and software with the goal of transparency and reproducibility. These services advance management and computational skills through data science training programs while providing foundational practices and techniques for preserving and citing data and software. The American Geophysical Union (AGU) together with academic libraries have launched a pilot series on the topic of the growing importance of research data and software in Earth and space sciences and university communities. The pilot series provides an opportunity for these communities to share best practices and tools, learn from each other, make connections, and possibly collaborate. In this session, we will share our findings from the pilot series and hope to make connections with interested institutions.

description: Tungsten (W) nanowires have a wide range of chemical, electronic, and mechanical applications. However, the modulus and strength of traditional W nanowires are quite low, and how to improve their mechanical performance remains a challenge. Here, we describe a novel graphene-coated W nanowires that demonstrate a Young’s modulus of 885 GPa (twice that of W) and a fracture strength of up to 24.7 GPa (66% of the ideal strength). Both the Young’s modulus and the fracture strength show a strong size effect, resulting from the graphene-nanowire core–shell structure. We report a novel graphene-coated W nanowires that demonstrate unprecedented Young’s modulus (885 GPa, twice that of W) and fracture strength (24.7 GPa, 66% of the ideal strength).

Coulomb interaction, ripples, and the minimal conductivity of graphene

description: We argue that the unscreened Coulomb interaction in graphene provides a positive, universal, and logarithmic correction to scaling of zero-temperature conductivity with frequency. The combined effect of the disorder due to wrinkling of the graphene sheet and the long range electron-electron interactions is a finite positive contribution to the dc conductivity. This contribution is disorder strength dependent and thus non-universal. The low-energy behavior of such a system is governed by the line of fixed points at which both the interaction and disorder are finite, and the density of states is exactly linear. An estimate of the typical random vector potential representing ripples in graphene brings the theoretical value of the minimal conductivity into the vicinity of 4e^2/h.

description: Environmental decision-making compares market and non-market outputs, often in terms of willingness to pay. In addition to personal, private `consumer¿ preferences, individuals may adopt a citizen perspective, judging matters from the point of view of society as a whole. Under such circumstances estimated willingness to pay using contingent valuation may not be an appropriate or reliable way to capture public preferences. This paper offers evidence of such a distinction in preferences and investigates the effect on respondents¿ willingness to pay. Visitors to an Irish forest were asked about willingness to pay for conservation forest, and about preferences for general forest attributes from both a personal/consumer and a social/citizen viewpoint. Forest managers were also interviewed. Results support the view that individuals express different preferences when adopting a personal or a social perspective. In comparison with the personal perspective, the social perspective gives greater weight to attributes with less direct and obvious visual appeal. Personal willingness to pay is found to vary with forest type (producing the same ranking as forest mangers) and to accord with personal views on forest attributes. This contrasts with social willingness to pay which is effectively the same for all conservation forest types and is also less related to the importance that respondents accord to forest-specific attributes. These results indicate that the private/consumer versus social/citizen distinction is important, but suggest that social willingness to pay may reflect respondents¿ views on society and public goods in general rather than providing a social valuation of the specific public good under consideration.

Pairing states of a polarized Fermi gas trapped in a one-dimensional optical lattice

description: We study the properties of a one-dimensional (1D) gas of fermions trapped in a lattice by means of the density matrix renormalization group method, focusing on the case of unequal spin populations, and strong attractive interaction. In the low density regime, the system phase-separates into a well defined superconducting core and a fully polarized metallic cloud surrounding it. We argue that the superconducting phase corresponds to a 1D analogue of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state, with a quasi-condensate of tightly bound bosonic pairs with a finite center-of-mass momentum that scales linearly with the magnetization. In the large density limit, the system allows for four phases: in the core, we either find a Fock state of localized pairs or a metallic shell with free spin-down fermions moving in a fully filled background of spin-up fermions. As the magnetization increases, the Fock state disappears to give room for a metallic phase, with a partially polarized superconducting FFLO shell and a fully polarized metallic cloud surrounding the core.

title: Measuring Trends in Male Mortality by Socio-Economic Group in Ireland: A Note on the Quality of Data

Subjects: subject: Economics

subject: Mortality

description: The objective of this paper is to examine measurement issues and data problems in the analysis of trends in male mortality differentials by socio-economic group in Ireland between 1981 and 1991. The study is based on mortality data supplied by the Central Statistics Office and population data taken from the 1981 and 1991 Census. Measurement problems in the area of death registration worsened between 1981 and 1991, making it impossible to discuss trends in mortality in Ireland with any confidence. Significantly, more deceased people ended up in the residual category in 1991 than in 1981. This is related to an increasing problem of apportioning 'gainfully employed' decedents to a socio-economic group rather than any problem with people described as 'not gainfully employed'.
