description: This study plans to investigate the possible detrimental effects of introducing a punishment and then abolishing the punishment in the public goods game. Abolishing a once-introduced punishment is known as removing the sanction paradigm (RTS; Mulder et al. 2006). We will examine whether abolishing a punishment caused the punished group to make more negligible contributions than the control group that did not experience sanctions. Experiments using the RTS paradigm have compared an experimental group that plays the public goods game with a punishment system and then plays the game without the punishment and a control group that plays the public goods game without a punishment system. Among studies using the RTS paradigm, Chen et al. (2009) reported detrimental effects of the RTS paradigm, whereas other studies have reported only nonsignificant detrimental trends of sanction (Mulder et al., 2006; Irwin et al., 2014). Our previous experiment (Study1) based on Chen et al. showed no significant difference in contributions between the experimental and control groups with a near-zero effect size. In the current study, we plan to manipulate the severity and type of punishment experimentally. Specifically, we will prepare four experimental treatments: severe and mild punishment, normative punishment (sanctioning below-benchmark contributions), and competitive punishment (sanctioning minimum contributions).
Computing upper bounds for the packing density of congruent copies of a convex body

description: In this paper we prove a theorem that provides an upper bound for the density of packings of congruent copies of a given convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$; this theorem is a generalization of the linear programming bound for sphere packings. We illustrate its use by computing an upper bound for the maximum density of packings of regular pentagons in the plane. Our computational approach is numerical and uses a combination of semidefinite programming, sums of squares, and the harmonic analysis of the Euclidean motion group. We show how, with some extra work, the bounds so obtained can be made rigorous.

Extreme Current Fluctuations in Lattice Gases: Beyond Nonequilibrium Steady States
Creators: name: Meerson, Baruch
name: Sasorov, Pavel V.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We use the macroscopic fluctuation theory (MFT) to study large current fluctuations in non-stationary diffusive lattice gases. We identify two universality classes of these fluctuations which we call elliptic and hyperbolic. They emerge in the limit when the deterministic mass flux is small compared to the mass flux due to the shot noise. The two classes are determined by the sign of compressibility of \emph{effective fluid}, obtained by mapping the MFT into an inviscid hydrodynamics. An example of the elliptic class is the Symmetric Simple Exclusion Process where, for some initial conditions, we can solve the effective hydrodynamics exactly. This leads to a super-Gaussian extreme current statistics conjectured by Derrida and Gerschenfeld (2009) and yields the optimal path of the system. For models of the hyperbolic class the deterministic mass flux cannot be neglected, leading to a different extreme current statistics.

description: Abstract Taking regarding smart buildings only one object comes to our mind, a space at whatever place one currently can freely use the facilities without quitting one comfort zone, and getting fresh air in such conditions makes it Eco-Friendly. The main gate to the front door, the pet feeder to the kitchen, the garden sprinkler to the floor cleaner, the light to the window opening every single item connected to an object belonging to you, that object being your smartphone, in addition to by a single click all of us currently can access everything, that object over there currently exists a smart building. If the power supply for all the smart gadgets comes from a solar power source then once again it’s Eco-Friendly. Connected with a single circuit that object over there currently exists a smart grid so its functions tremendously enjoy smart grid consist of HVAC, lighting, alarms, in addition to security—into a single-it-managed network infrastructure. To achieve both things all of us have to make it cost-effective so every single household currently can utilize it without the thought of how much money it will take, a mass production currently can resolve this object over here though. The IoT sector has a vital role to increase this object over here concept by connecting the smart grid to a single assistant. Another concept in our mind currently exists is to utilize comfort for all, so all of us need a power smart grid objects over there currently can give proper supply, just as power loss give a second thought to utilize it, just as a result, a backup power smart grid currently exists a necessity.

Afro-Guyanese women’s meditations on their material experiences highlight the way post-colonial political arrangements are hinged on gendered-based violence in the country. Further, I offer that focusing on the historical lineages of the river that flow into the Atlantic Ocean, which may broaden our understanding of the Black Atlantic.

description: We explore a natural generalization of systolic geometry to Finsler metrics and optical hypersurfaces with special emphasis on its relation to the Mahler conjecture and the geometry of numbers. In particular, we show that if an optical hypersurface of contact type in the cotangent bundle of the 2-dimensional torus encloses a volume $V$, then it carries a periodic characteristic whose action is at most $\sqrt{V/3}$. This result is deduced from an interesting dual version of Minkowski's lattice-point theorem: if the origin is the unique integer point in the interior of a planar convex body, the area of its dual body is at least 3/2.

description: More general probability sum-rules for describing interference than found in quantum mechanics (QM) were formulated by Sorkin in a hierarchy of such rules. The additivity of classical measure theory corresponds to the second sum-rule. QM violates this rule, but satisfies the third and higher sum-rules. This evokes the question of whether there are physical principles that forbid their violation. We show that under certain assumptions, violation of higher sum-rules allows for superluminal signaling.

As a preliminary step we construct light front Hamiltonians in (2+1)-dimensional $λϕ^4$ model, for the cases without and with spontaneous symmetry breaking. The renormalization of these Hamiltonians in Pauli-Villars regularization is carried out via comparison of all-order perturbation theory, generated by these Hamiltonians, and the corresponding covariant perturbation theory in Lorentz coordinates.

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: In this paper we describe a numerical algorithm for integrating the multicomponent, reacting, compressible Navier-Stokes equations, targeted for direct numerical simulation of combustion phenomena. The algorithm addresses two shortcomings of previous methods. First, it incorporates an eighth-order narrow stencil approximation of diffusive terms that reduces the communication compared to existing methods and removes the need to use a filtering algorithm to remove Nyquist frequency oscillations that are not damped with traditional approaches. The methodology also incorporates a multirate temporal integration strategy that provides an efficient mechanism for treating chemical mechanisms that are stiff relative to fluid dynamical time scales. The overall methodology is eighth order in space with option for fourth order to eighth order in time. The implementation uses a hybrid programming model designed for effective utilization of many-core architectures. We present numerical results demonstrating the convergence properties of the algorithm with realistic chemical kinetics and illustrating its performance characteristics. We also present a validation example showing that the algorithm matches detailed results obtained with an established low Mach number solver.
Characteristics of Indian Population

description: Abstract: What is the characteristic of population while studying population in India? An attempt has been made to study this in the said research paper. The productive power of a country depends on human labor, so man has to do intellectual or physical labor for his livelihood. Since man is the only factor of production, the ability to successfully increase production power depends on the quality of labor. India is the richest country in the world in terms of population. Hence it is important to study the population. Population creates demand for manufactured goods and services in the same way as it supplies labour, hence the study of India's population is multifaceted.

description: WISE1810-10 is the brightest metal-poor T-type object reported by Schneider et al. (2020) in a WISE search for ultracool dwarfs with high proper motions and peculiar colours. We conducted an extensive photometric and spectroscopic follow-up with a battery of telescopes and instruments (GTC, Calar Alto, NOT) to characterise the physical properties of the metal-poor brown dwarf population. We detected WISE1810 in the i and z bands for the first time. We also present a low-resolution optical spectrum for the first time. Thanks to a photometric monitoring of several years, we measure a relative trigonometric parallax of 112.2+/-8.2 mas for WISE1810-10, placing it within 10 pc, about three times closer than previously thought. We calculated the luminosity of WISE1810-10 to be log(L/Lsun) = -5.72+/-0.18 dex, making it sub-luminous with respect to the sequence of solar-metallicity L and T dwarfs. We confirm that WISE1810-10 has a very low temperature (<=1000K) and belongs to a new class of objects with no known spectral counterparts among field L- and T-type dwarfs, with a metallicity most likely in the range between -1.5 dex and -1.0 dex by
 comparison with predictions from atmospheric models. The revised distance of WISE1810-10 has a strong implication on the density of metal-poor brown dwarfs in our Galaxy. Reference: Lodieu et al. (2022, A&A, 663, 84)

Measurement of associated W + charm production in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Measurements are presented of the associated production of a W boson and a charm-quark jet (W + c) in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The analysis is conducted with a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 5 inverse femtobarns, collected by the CMS detector at the LHC. W boson candidates are identified by their decay into a charged lepton (muon or electron) and a neutrino. The W + c measurements are performed for charm-quark jets in the kinematic region pt[jet] > 25 GeV, abs(eta) < 2.5, for two different thresholds for the transverse momentum of the lepton from the W-boson decay, and in the pseudorapidity range abs(eta[ell]) < 2.1. Hadronic and inclusive semileptonic decays of charm hadrons are used to measure the following total cross sections: sigma(pp to W + c + X) times B(W to ell nu) = 107.7 +/- 3.3 (stat.) +/- 6.9 (syst.) pb (pt[ell] > 25 GeV) and sigma(pp to W + c + X) times B(W to ell nu) = 84.1 +/- 2.0 (stat.) +/- 4.9 (syst.) pb (pt[ell] > 35 GeV), and the cross section ratios sigma(pp to W+ + c + X)/sigma(pp to W- + c + X) = 0.954 +/- 0.025 (stat.) +/- 0.004 (syst.) (pt[ell] > 25 GeV) and sigma(pp to W+ + c bar + X)/sigma(pp to W- + c + X) = 0.938 +/- 0.019 (stat.) +/- 0.006 (syst.) (pt[ell] > 35 GeV). Cross sections and cross section ratios are also measured differentially with respect to the absolute value of the pseudorapidity of the lepton from the W-boson decay. These are the first measurements from the LHC directly sensitive to the strange quark and antiquark content of the proton. Results are compared with theoretical predictions and are consistent with the predictions based on global fits of parton distribution functions.

description: Introduction: The environment of business is governed by legal aspects. The legal aspects presented by different commercial enactments have been exercising their impact upon day to day work of trade, commerce and industry. There are a No. of Act such as: Indian Contract Act, The Sale of Goods Act, The Partnership Act, The Payment of Wages Act and so on. Recently a No. of enactments have come into force because of Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization. One of such Acts is the Right to Information Act (RTI). The Right to Information (RTI) is an act of the Parliament of India which sets out the rules and procedures regarding citizens' right to information. It replaced the former Freedom of Information Act, 2002. Under the provisions of RTI Act, any citizen of India may request information from a "public authority" (a body of Government or "instrumentality of State") which is required to reply expeditiously or within thirty days. In case of matter involving a petitioner's life and liberty, the information has to be provided within 48 hours. The Act also requires every public authority to computerize their records for wide dissemination and to proactively publish certain categories of information so that the citizens need minimum recourse to request for information formally.

description: Brown dwarfs and planetary-mass objects have photometric and spectroscopic properties similar to exoplanet orbiting stars but they are in isolation, making their characterisation easier. We present a solid spectral sequence of substellar late-M and L-type dwarf members with effective temperatures below 2000 Kelvins of five young regions and open clusters: sigma Orionis (3-8 Myr; 350 pc), Upper Scorpius (5-10 Myr; 145 pc), the Pleiades (125 Myr; 135 pc), Coma Berenices (500 Myr; 87 pc), and the Hyades (650 Myr; 47 pc). We compare their photometric and spectroscopic properties to members of young moving groups and older field L dwarfs.

description: L'objectif de cet article est de déterminer l’effet de la libéralisation du commerce sur la volatilité de la production dans la zone de la Communauté Économique et Monétaire de l’Afrique Centrale (CEMAC). Plus précisément, nous avons cherché à déterminer si l'effet de la libéralisation du commerce sur la volatilité de la production varie en fonction du degré de diversification des exportations.  Les méthodes des effets fixes et de la variable instrumentale sont utilisées pour estimer les données de panel des 6 pays de la CEMAC sur la période allant de 1996-2016. Les résultats suggèrent que la libéralisation du commerce accroit la volatilité de la production dans les pays de la CEMAC. Nous avons montré qu’une forte ouverture associée à une plus grande diversification permet d’atténuer les effets néfastes de la volatilité.  Eu égard à ces résultats, nous permettent de suggérer quelques recommandations de politique économique celle d’accroitre l’égalité entre les parts des branches d’exportation actives et de promouvoir de bonnes institutions notamment la lutte contre la corruption et la stabilité politique.

description: Millimeter wave (mmWave) devices need to leverage highly directional beamforming (BF) to overcome the higher isotropic path loss. On the other hand, such narrow beams are sensitive to the propagation conditions including blockage and reflections. As a result, beam management – finding and maintaining good analog BF directions – is critical to enabling communication at the mmWave spectrum. This dissertation will focus on designing beam management solutions for mmWave systems that can find near-optimal beams with low overhead and latency. In the first part of this dissertation, a machine learning (ML)-aided beam alignment method is proposed where ML models are trained to predict candidate beams and serving base stations (BSs) using only the location information of user equipments (UEs) as context information. At the cost of only a small overhead in uplink feedback of a UE’s coordinates through lower-frequency links, the proposed method can reduce the search space by approximately 4× for the optimal BS and over 10× for the optimal beam, even in a dynamic environment with imperfect UE coordinates. A dataset modeling a realistic, generalizable environment is created using a state-of-the-art commercial ray-tracing software and published to train and validate the ML models. To further enhance the ease of adoption without modifications to the existing cellular network standards, a 5G-compatible beam alignment method that uses a site-specific probing codebook to predict candidate beams is proposed in the second part of this dissertation. The probing codebook and the beam predictor are jointly trained with a novel neural network (NN) architecture. By sweeping a small learned codebook that is adapted to the propagation environment, the proposed NN beam predictor can accurately select the optimal narrow beam while reducing the beam sweeping overhead by as much as 14× in challenging non-line-of-sight scenarios. The third part of this dissertation further explores the idea of site-specific probing, and proposes a grid-free beam alignment approach that uses the measurements of a few probing beams to directly compute arbitrary BF weights for each UE from the continuous search space. The probing beams and the beam synthesizer functions are jointly trained in a novel deep learning pipeline so that UEs can both be discovered with high probability and achieve high BF gain. The proposed method is better than the exhaustive search by orders of magnitude in terms of the trade-off between signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and beam alignment speed. It also improves upon the approach proposed in the second part by eliminating the per-UE search and achieving higher SNR than standard codebooks of narrow beams.

description: A combination of density functional and dynamical mean-field theory is applied to the perovskites SrVO$_3$, LaTiO$_3$ and LaVO$_3$. We show that DFT+DMFT in conjunction with the standard fully localized-limit (FLL) double-counting predicts that LaTiO$_3$ and LaVO$_3$ are metals even though experimentally they are correlation-driven ("Mott") insulators. In addition, the FLL double counting implies a splitting between oxygen $p$ and transition metal $d$ levels which differs from experiment. Introducing into the theory an \textit{ad hoc} double counting correction which reproduces the experimentally measured insulating gap leads also to a $p$-$d$ splitting consistent with experiment if the on-site interaction $U$ is chosen in a relatively narrow range ($\sim 6\pm 1$ eV). The results indicate that these early transition metal oxides will serve as critical test for the formulation of a general \textit{ab initio} theory of correlated electron metals.

description: Abstract: India is one of the fastest growing retail markets in the world, more than 1.2 billion people accesses with retail market; it is ranked ten amongst largest retail markets in the world. According to the FDI policy October 2011 the government approved 51% FDI for retailing industries to enhancing operations and development of Indian economy. So that, many companies are entering with franchising such as Nike, Reebok, and Addidas etc. Indian companies are also did joint ventures like Reliance, K Rahejas, Bharti AirTel, ITC and many others are making significant investments in this sector leading to emergence of big retailers who can bargain with suppliers to reap economies of scale. Tata with Tesco, Bharti with Wal-Mart. Once, Indian government to accept Policy in 1991 Liberalisation privatisation and globalisation with that business environment has been mobilised. In addition that, Indian organizations are become more global with their operation it has one of the most dynamic and pace emerging industries. Indian industries are become more attractive to do the retail marketing e.g. Tata group alliance with Tesco, Bharti group alliance with Wal-Mart the many companies are run business in the international market, they are became more flexible and agile to operate the business in any corner of the country. There has been a huge opportunity in retail marketing businessmen’s to making competitive new retail shops in the international and national markets. Thus, the Indian industries/business are contributing to improvements in per capita income and GDP by retail marketing it helps in develop infrastructure and expanding the retail shops in host countries. Therefore the Indian Government regulations and FDI policies are very much affected on retail marketing many MNCs are entering and operate business in retail sectors as well.
Assessing the environmental performance of ICT-based services: Does user behaviour make all the difference?

description: Reducing overall household energy consumption through the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) can play an important role in the transformation towards sustainable consumption patterns, e.g. through the optimisation of energy-consuming processes. The challenge in the environmental assessment of ICT applications is to also consider their use-specific environmental effects, as these can be decisive for overall results. Using the example of smart heating, we therefore analyse the environmental performance of a sample of 375 smart home systems (SHS) in Germany and show how the life cycle assessment (LCA) can be extended to include various use-specific effects such as choice of products and individuals' behaviour when using the product. In an interdisciplinary study design, we combine life cycle modelling and behavioural science to systematically include use-specific parameters into the modelling, and to interweave these results with user characteristics such as sociodemographics and user motivation. Our results are heterogenous: For the impact category Climate Change (GWP) we find that having smart heating can lead to large savings in particular cases. On average, however, smart heating does not lead to significant benefits for GWP, but neither does it represent an additional burden. For Metal Depletion Potential (MDP), we find that smart heating is always an additional burden, as heating optimisation has almost no reduction potential for MDP. Our results have a wide range due to large differences in use patterns in the sample. Depending on the impact category, both number of devices of the SHS as well as heating temperature are decisive. Regression analysis of our assessment results with user characteristics shows that differences in MDP and GWP of SHS size can be explained by income, and, in addition, differences in GWP of net heating energy savings can be explained by user motivation. Our results thus underline that the standard scenarios for user behaviour assumed in LCA modelling should be well justified. Future interdisciplinary research should further explore the links between use-specific approaches in LCA and users' environmental behaviour and motivation.

description: There is a complex relation between the mechanism of preferential attachment, scale-free degree distributions and hyperbolicity in complex networks. In fact, both preferential attachment and hidden hyperbolic spaces often generate scale-free networks. We show that there is actually a duality between a class of growing spatial networks based on preferential attachment on the sphere and a class of static random networks on the hyperbolic plane. Both classes of networks have the same scale-free degree distribution as the Barabasi-Albert model. As a limit of this correspondence, the Barabasi-Albert model is equivalent to a static random network on an hyperbolic space with infinite curvature.

Quantum field theory based on birefringent modified Maxwell theory
Creators: name: Schreck, M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the current paper the properties of a birefringent Lorentz-violating extension of quantum electrodynamics is considered. The theory results from coupling modified Maxwell theory, which is a CPT-even Lorentz-violating extension of the photon sector, to a Dirac theory of standard spin-1/2 particles. It is then restricted to a special birefringent case with one nonzero Lorentz-violating coefficient. The modified dispersion laws of electromagnetic waves are obtained plus their phase and group velocities are considered. After deriving the photon propagator and the polarization vectors for a special momentum configuration we prove both unitarity at tree-level and microcausality for the quantum field theory based on this Lorentz-violating modification. These analytical proofs are done for a spatial momentum with two vanishing components and the proof of unitarity is supported by numerical investigations in case all components are nonvanishing. The upshot is that the theory is well-behaved within the framework of our assumptions where there is a possible issue for negative Lorentz-violating coefficients. The paper shall provide a basis for the future analysis of alternative birefringent quantum field theories.

On Weak Tractability of the Clenshaw-Curtis Smolyak Algorithm

description: We consider the problem of integration of d-variate analytic functions defined on the unit cube with directional derivatives of all orders bounded by 1. We prove that the Clenshaw Curtis Smolyak algorithm leads to weak tractability of the problem. This seems to be the first positive tractability result for the Smolyak algorithm for a normalized and unweighted problem. The space of integrands is not a tensor product space and therefore we have to develop a different proof technique. We use the polynomial exactness of the algorithm as well as an explicit bound on the operator norm of the algorithm.
