description: Background: Caloric restriction can delay the development of metabolic diseases ranging from insulin resistance to type 2 diabetes and is linked to both changes in the composition and metabolic function of the gut microbiota and immunological consequences. However, the interaction between dietary intake, the microbiome, and the immune system remains poorly described. Results: We transplanted the gut microbiota from an obese female before (AdLib) and after (CalRes) an 8-week very-low-calorie diet (800 kcal/day) into germ-free mice. We used 16S rRNA sequencing to evaluate taxa with differential abundance between the AdLib- and CalRes-microbiota recipients and single-cell multidimensional mass cytometry to define immune signatures in murine colon, liver, and spleen. Recipients of the CalRes sample exhibited overall higher alpha diversity and restructuring of the gut microbiota with decreased abundance of several microbial taxa (e.g., Clostridium ramosum, Hungatella hathewayi, Alistipi obesi). Transplantation of CalRes-microbiota into mice decreased their body fat accumulation and improved glucose tolerance compared to AdLib-microbiota recipients. Finally, the CalRes-associated microbiota reduced the levels of intestinal effector memory CD8(+)T cells, intestinal memory B cells, and hepatic effector memory CD4(+) and CD8(+)T cells. Conclusion: Caloric restriction shapes the gut microbiome which can improve metabolic health and may induce a shift towards the naive T and B cell compartment and, thus, delay immune senescence. Understanding the role of the gut microbiome as mediator of beneficial effects of low calorie diets on inflammation and metabolism may enhance the development of new therapeutic treatment options for metabolic diseases.

QCD Corrections to Scalar Production via Heavy Quark Fusion at Hadron Colliders

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We recently proposed that, due to the top-quark-mass enhanced Yukawa coupling, the s-channel production of a charged scalar or pseudo-scalar from heavy quark fusion can be an important new mechanism for discovering non-standard spin-0 particles. In this work, we present the complete O(alpha_s) QCD corrections to this s-channel production process at hadron colliders, including the results of QCD resummation over multiple soft-gluon emission. The systematic QCD-improved production and decay rates at the FermiLab Tevatron and the CERN LHC are given for the charged top-pions in the topcolor models and for the charged Higgs bosons in the generic two Higgs doublet model. The direct extension to the production of the neutral (pseudo-)scalars via bb\bar fusion is studied in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with large tan(beta), and in the topcolor model with large bottom Yukawa coupling.

description: China's GDP growth slowdown and a surge in global financial market volatility could both adversely affect an already weak global economic recovery. To quantify the global macroeconomic consequences of these shocks, we employ a GVAR model estimated for 26 countries/regions over the period 1981Q1 to 2013Q1. Our results indicate that (i) a one percent permanent negative GDP shock in China (equivalent to a one-off one percent growth shock) could have significant global macroeconomic repercussions, with world growth reducing by 0:23 percentage points in the short-run; and (ii) a surge in global financial market volatility could translate into a fall in world economic growth of around 0:29 percentage points, but it could also have negative short-run impacts on global equity markets, oil prices and long-term interest rates.

description: The goal of this research is to trigger the devolution of the system balancing responsibility entirely belonging to the transmission system operator (TSO) to several local distribution system operators by fairly allocating system balancing cost based on a cost-causality principle. Within the devolved system balancing scheme, distribution system operators (DSOs) have appropriate motivation for reducing the variability and uncertainty caused by units in their own area. As the number of renewable electricity sources (RES) being connected to the local distribution system increases, it would be advantageous for the TSO to share the increasing burden of the system balancing responsibility with multiple DSOs. To achieve this, we suggest that, first DSOs be designated as the representatives of their own jurisdictions with primary economic responsibility for balancing payments that are originally charged to each energy market participant. Second, this research proves that a cost-causality based cost allocation scheme(CC-CAS) is superior to an energy-amount based cost allocation scheme (currently widely used) in terms of economic efficiency. Additionally, to avoid the side effect that a DSO with a large amount of RES may face a high and risky balancing payment under the CC-CAS, this research also proposes an optimal balancing payment insurance (BPI) contract which helps the DSO hedge the risks associated with uncertain balancing payments.
Hadron production in relativistic nuclear collisions: thermal hadron source or hadronizing quark-gluon plasma?

description: Measured hadron yields from relativistic nuclear collisions can be equally well understood in two physically distinct models, namely a static thermal hadronic source vs.~a time-dependent, nonequilibrium hadronization off a quark-gluon plasma droplet. Due to the time-dependent particle evaporation off the hadronic surface in the latter approach the hadron ratios change (by factors of $\approx 200 MeV$. If the present model is fit to the extrapolated hadron yields, metastable hypermatter can only be produced with a probability $p< 10^{-8}$ for $A \ge 4$.

description: Apterostigma urichi Forel guianense, var. nov.
Female (dealate): Length about 5.6 mm. - Differing from a topotype dealate female of the typical urichi in the greater development of the lobes of the anterior margin pi the pronotum, in the less convex declivous surface of the epinotum, which in the topotype urichi is almost tuberculate, in the less strongly marginate gaster, and in the more appressed pilosity, especially on the gaster, as compared with reclinate hairs. Color and size are similar.
Described from one female taken by myself July 20, 1936, by the Oronoque River near the junction with the New River, British Guiana. The ant was with her fungus garden, labout 10 mm. long, 2 mm. (deep, and 8 mm. wide, in a small cavity beneath rotten bark on a living tree at an elevation of 4 feet. No other Apterostigma were near and she was evidently starting a new colony independently.

description: We elucidate the nature of the electron-phonon interaction in the archetypal hybrid perovskite CH$_3$NH$_3$PbI$_3$ using ab initio many-body calculations and an exactly solvable model. We demonstrate that electrons and holes near the band edges primarily interact with three distinct groups of longitudinal-optical vibrations, in order of importance: the stretching of the Pb-I bond, the bending of the Pb-I-Pb bonds, and the libration of the organic cations. These polar phonons induce ultrafast intraband carrier relaxation over timescales of 6-30 fs and yield polaron effective masses 28% heavier than the bare band masses. These findings allow us to rationalize previous experimental observations and provide a key to understanding carrier dynamics in halide perovskites.

description: Following the development of decentralized production technologies, energy communities have become a topic of increased interest. While the potential benefits have been described, we use the framework of cooperative game theory to test the ability of such communities to adequately share the gains. Indeed, despite the potential value created by such coalitions, there is no guarantee that they will be viable: a subset of participants may find it profitable to exit the community and create another one of their own. We take the case of a neighborhood, having access to a limited resource e.g. a shared roof or piece of land which they can exploit if they invest in some renewable production capacity. By joining the community, participants also enjoy aggregation gains in the form of reduced network fees. We find conditions depending on the structure of renewable installation costs, on the magnitude of the aggregation effect and coordination costs and, most importantly, on the chosen sharing rule, under which the whole energy community is stable. Efficiency could require the intervention of a social planner or a change in network tariff structures.

Female (dealate): Length 3.8 mm. - Dealate females of the typical form from the same island are about 4.6 mm. long. In addition to size this subspecies differs in having the head more smooth, the frontal groove between the lobes deeper and wider at the base, the lobes of the anterior margin of the pronotum higher and more prominent, the tubercles of the scutellum posteriorly enclosing a semicircle instead pf the longitudinal half of an ellipse, the dorsal surface of the postpetiole distinctly concave, and the gaster much less strongly marginate.
Pilosity of moderately abundant long hairs, which are reclinate, and somewhat sparse appressed pubescence. - Dark brown, appendages ferruginous.
Described from one female taken by myself January 3, 1935, a few miles south-east of Rio Claro village, Trinidad, B. W. I., in heavy forest. This form may deserve to rank as distinct species allied to wasmanni when the other castes become known.

description: Motivated by recent work on low energy unification, in this short note we derive corrections on Newton's inverse square law due to the existence of extra decompactified dimensions. In the four-dimensional macroscopic limit we find that the corrections are of Yukawa type. Inside the compactified space of n-extra dimensions the sub-leading term is proportional to the (n+1)- power of the distance over the compactification radius ratio. Some physical implications of these modifications are briefly discussed.

Decentralized Bargaining in Matching Markets: Efficient Stationary Equilibria and the Core
Creators: name: Elliott, M.
name: Nava, F.
Publisher: name: Faculty of Economics
Year: 2017

description: This paper studies market clearing in matching markets. The model is non-cooperative, fully decentralized, and in Markov strategies. Workers and firms bargain with each other to determine who will be matched to whom and at what terms of trade. Once a worker-firm pair reach agreement they exit the market. Alternative possible matches affect agents' bargaining positions. We ask when do such markets clear efficiently and find that inefficiencies - mismatch and delay - often feature. Mismatch occurs whenever an agent's bargaining position is at risk of deteriorating. Delay occurs whenever agents expect their bargaining position to improve. Delay can be extensive and structured with vertically differentiated markets endogenously clearing from the top down.

Worker: Length 3 mm. - Head, excluding mandibles, 1.4 times as long as wide, occipital margin rounded except for feeble median impression, sides sub-parallel, being slightly wider posteriorly, anterior clypeal margin convex. Eyes, seen from in front, hemispherical. Frontal lobes semi-circular, raised at a low angle. Antennal scapes stout, feebly sinuate, exceeding occipital margin by a distance equal to nearly twice the distal diameter. All joints of funiculus but first and last much broader than long, terminal joint slightly shorter than joints 5-9 taken together.
Anterior margin of pronotum extended as two low, rounded lobes. In profile the pronotum and mesonotum, anteriorly, are feebly convex, the posterior or declivous surface of mesonotum is produced as a broad tubercle. The declivity is continued sharply downward to the mesoepinotal impression which bears an upright and distinct tooth. In profile the basal surface of the epinotum is flat, higher anteriorly than posteriorly, and the declivous surface is concave. Seen from above the mesonotal tubercles appear as anteriorly diverging lobes enclosing a concave depression, the teeth in the mesoepinotal depression appear as two high and narrowly compressed and almost transverse carinae, and the basal surface of the epinotum bears on each side very feeble ridges.
Petiole in profile slightly concave anteriorly, with rounded node, 0.8 as long as postpetiole. The latter in profile with nearly flat dorsal surface evenly rounded at both ends, ventral surface in form of obtuse angle with slightly concave sides. Postpetiole from above pyriform with rounded but moderately deep postero-medial impression. Gaster distinctly but not strongly marginate. Legs moderately long and slender.
Integument opaque, largely obscured by pilosity. Mandibles finely striate, shining. - Pilosity of abundant short and appressed hairs of variable length and fine appressed pubescence.. - Brown, appendages paler.
Described from one worker taken by myself June 29,. 1935, in the foothills north of Tunapuna, Trinidad, B. W. I..
This species is noteworthy in the possession of distinct carinae in the mesoepinotal impression which appear as a single tooth in profile. It is intermediate in size between A. mayri and A. wasmanni, found in the same locality, but is markedly different from both in other charactersIt is dedicated to my friend Mr. Desmond Vesey-Fitzgerald in memory of many trips made together to the less-known parts of Trinidad

description: We revisit the evaluation of the pionic mechanism of the $\bar{u}-\bar{d}$-asymmetry in the proton structure function. Our analysis is based on the extended AGK unitarity relation between contributions of different mechanisms to the inclusive particle production and the total photoabsorption cross-section (i.e. the proton structure function). We reanalyze the role of isovector reggeons in inclusive production of nucleons and Delta isobars in hadronic reactions. We find rather large contribution of reggeon-exchange induced production of Delta isobars. This leaves much less room for the pion-exchange induced mechanism of $Δ$ production and provides a constraint on the $πN Δ$ form factor. The production of leading pions in proton-proton collisions at ISR puts additional constraints on the $πNN$ vertex form factors. An extension of the AGK-rules to reggeon exchange suggests a negligible contribution to the proton structure function from DIS off the exchanged $ρ,a_2$ reggeons. All these constraints are used then to estimate the pion content of the nucleon and allow to calculate parameter-free the $x$-dependence of $\bar d - \bar u$. We discuss the violation of the Gottfried Sum Rule and $\bar d$-$\bar u$ asymmetry and compare to the one obtained from the E866 experiment at Fermilab. We estimate the background to the pion structure function being determined by the ZEUS and H1 collaborations at HERA from leading neutron experiments.

Lévy flights on a comb and the plasma staircase

description: We formulate the problem of confined Lévy flight on a comb. The comb represents a sawtooth-like potential field $V(x)$, with the asymmetric teeth favoring net transport in a preferred direction. The shape effect is modeled as a power-law dependence $V(x) \propto |Δx|^n$ within the sawtooth period, followed by an abrupt drop-off to zero, after which the initial power-law dependence is reset. It is found that the Lévy flights will be confined in the sense of generalized central limit theorem if (i) the spacing between the teeth is sufficiently broad, and (ii) $n > 4-μ$, where $μ$ is the fractal dimension of the flights. In particular, for the Cauchy flights ($μ= 1$), $n>3$. The study is motivated by recent observations of localization-delocalization of transport avalanches in banded flows in the Tore Supra tokamak and is intended to devise a theory basis to explain the observed phenomenology.

description: The exchange of light pseudoscalars between fermions leads to a spin-independent potential in order g^4, where g is the Yukawa pseudoscalar-fermion coupling constant. This potential gives rise to detectable violations of both the weak equivalence principle (WEP) and the gravitational inverse-square law (ISL), even if g is quite small. We show that when previously derived WEP constraints are combined with those arisingfrom ISL tests, a direct experimental limit on the Yukawa coupling of light pseudoscalars to neutrons can be inferred for the first time (g_n^2/4pi < 1.6 \times 10^-7), along with a new (and significantly improved) limit on the coupling of light pseudoscalars to protons.

description: In many matching markets bargaining determines who matches with whom and on what terms. We experimentally investigate allocative efficiency and how subjects' payoffs depend on their matching opportunities in such markets. We consider three simple markets. There are no information asymmetries, subjects are patient and a perfectly equitable outcome is both feasible and efficient. Efficient perfect equilibria of the corresponding bargaining game exist, but are increasingly complicated to sustain across the three markets. Consistent with the predictions of simple (Markov perfect) equilibria, we find considerable mismatch in two of the markets. Mismatch is reduced but remains substantial when we change the nature of bargaining by moving from a structured experimental protocol to permitting free-form negotiations, and when we allow players to renege on their agreements. Our results suggest mismatch is driven by players correctly anticipating that they might lose their strong bargaining positions, and by players in weak bargaining positions demanding equitable payoffs.

description: Control groups can sometimes provide counterfactual evidence for assessing the impact of an event or policy change on a target variable. Fitting a time series model to target and control series offers potential gains over a direct comparison between the target and a weighted average of the controls. More importantly it highlights the assumptions underlying methods such as difference in differences and synthetic control and in doing so suggests ways in which these assumptions may be tested. Our focus is on time series models that are both simple and transparent. Potential gains from fitting such models are analysed and their relative performance is investigated using examples taken from the literature, including the effect of the California smoking law of 1988 and German re-unification. At the same time, some of the draw-backs to current methodology become apparent. It is argued that a time series strategy for the selection of a valid set of controls is to be preferred to one based on data-driven regression methods.

description: We study the coherent dynamics of localized excitons in 100-periods of 2.5 nm thick (In,Ga)N/GaN quantum wells with 7.5% indium concentration, measured with spectroscopic resolution through two-pulse and three-pulse photon echoes at the temperature of 1.5 K. A long-lived coherent exciton dynamics is observed in the (In,Ga)N quantum wells: When the laser photon energy is tuned across the 43 meV-wide inhomogeneously broadened resonance line, the coherence time T2 varies between 45 and 255 ps, increasing with stronger exciton localization. The corresponding narrow homogeneous linewidths ranging from 5.2 to 29 μeV as well as the relatively weak exciton-phonon interaction (0.8 μeV/K) confirm a strong, quantum dot-like exciton localization in a static disordered potential inside the (In,Ga)N quantum well layers.

Corporate lobbying for environmental protection

Subjects: lobbying

description: Much of the time, firms lobby against environmental protection, but there are major exceptions to this rule. DuPont, the leading ozone polluter in the 1980s, lobbied for a complete ban of its product. In 2015, in the run up to the Paris Agreement, Europe's six largest oil and gas companies lobbied for a global carbon price. This kind of political support is often pivotal for governments trying to protect the environment. I offer an explanation for this phenomenon, suggesting firms behave as they do in order to steal market share from their rivals. I develop a simple model in which a polluting firm makes a clean technology investment and then lobbies successfully for strong environmental protection, since this will shift market share away from its rival who has not made the clean investment. The key result is that there are situations where it is only because of firms' lobbying that environmental protection is achieved, and this raises welfare.
Correlations and the Cross Section of Exclusive ($e,e'p$) Reactions for $^{16}$O

description: The reduced cross section for exclusive ($e,e'p$) reactions has been studied in DWIA for the example of the nucleus $^{16}$O using a spectral function containing effects of correlations. The spectral function is evaluated directly for the finite nucleus starting from a realistic nucleon-nucleon interaction within the framework of the Green's function approach. The emphasis is focused on the correlations induced by excitation modes at low energies described within a model-space of shell-model configurations including states up to the $sdg$ shell. Cross sections for the $p$-wave quasi-hole transitions at low missing energies are presented and compared with the most recent experimental data. In the case of the so-called perpendicular kinematics the reduced cross section derived in DWIA shows an enhancement at high missing momenta as compared to the PWIA result. Furthermore the cross sections for the $s$- and $d$-wave quasi-hole transitions are presented and compared to available data at low missing momenta. Also in these cases, which cannot be described in a model without correlations, a good agreement with the experiment is obtained.

Overnight Indexed Swap Market-Based Measures of Monetary Policy Expectations

Subjects: Federal Funds Futures

Monetary Policy Expectations

description: A growing literature has begun to use overnight indexed swap (OIS) rates to measure market expectations of future short-term interest rates. In this paper, I assess the empirical success of OIS rates in predicting the future path of monetary policy. I first compare US OIS rates to federal funds futures (FFFs), which have regularly been used to construct financial market-based measures of interest rate expectations. For the 2002-2016 period, I find that 1 to 11-month OIS rates provide measures of investors' interest rate expectations that are as good as those from comparable-horizon FFFs contracts. More generally, I find that, on average, 1 to 24-month US, UK, Eurozone and Japanese OIS rates accurately measure expectations of future short-term interest rates. To date, many methods used by monetary economists rely on FFFs data to measure monetary policy expectations. This has limited the application of these methods to US data only. Motivated by the results in this paper, researchers can look to OIS rates as a globally-comparable measure of monetary.

Described from one colony taken by myself October 1, 1935, in the Maracas Valley of the Northern Range, Trinidad, B. W. I. The ants were nesting between the exposed roots at the base of a tree on the side of the valley. Nest opening a crater just remade after recent rains. This led obliquely by a tunnel 8 cm. into the bank to a spherical chamber 6 cm. in diameter containing the fungus garden pendant from roots.
This form differs from typical urichi chiefly in smaller size, in having larger posterior mesonotal tubercles, deeper mesoepinotal depression, more appressed pilosity, and in paler and duller color. 1 have taken the typical urichi numerous times in this same valley.

Estimating Nominal Interest Rate Expectations: Overnight Indexed Swaps and the Term Structure

Dynamic Term Structure Model.

description: Financial market participants and policymakers closely monitor the evolution of interest rate expectations. At any given time, the term structure of interest rates contains information regarding these expectations. No-arbitrage dynamic term structure models have regularly been used to estimate interest rate expectations and term premia, but daily frequency estimates of these models fail to accurately capture the evolution of interest rate expectations implied by surveys and financial market instruments. I propose the augmentation of no-arbitrage Gaussian affine dynamic term structure models (GADTSMs) with overnight indexed swap (OIS) rates in order to better estimate the evolution of interest rate expectations and term premia across the whole term structure. I augment the model with 3 to 24-month OIS rates, which provide accurate information about interest rate expectations. The OIS-augmented model that I propose, estimated between January 2002 and December 2016 for the US, generates estimates of the expected path of short-term interest rates, up to the 10-year horizon, that closely correspond to those implied by federal funds futures rates and survey expectations at a range of horizons, and accurately depict their daily frequency evolution. Against these metrics, the interest rate expectation estimates from OIS-augmented models are superior to estimates from existing GADTSMs.
Electron--electron scattering in linear transport in two-dimensional systems

description: We describe a method for numerically incorporating electron--electron scattering in quantum wells for small deviations of the distribution function from equilibrium, within the framework of the Boltzmann equation. For a given temperature $T$ and density $n$, a symmetric matrix needs to be evaluated only once, and henceforth it can be used to describe electron--electron scattering in any Boltzmann equation linear-response calculation for that particular $T$ and $n$. Using this method, we calculate the distribution function and mobility for electrons in a quantum-well, including full finite-temperature dynamic screening effects. We find that at some parameters which we investigated, electron--electron scattering reduces mobility by approximately 40\%.
