description: We study nonlinear gravitational perturbations of vacuum Einstein equations, with $Λ<0$ in $(n+2)$ dimensions, with $n>2$, generalizing previous studies for $n=2$. We follow the formalism by Ishibashi, Kodama and Seto to decompose the metric perturbations into tensor, vector and scalar sectors, and simplify the Einstein equations. The tensor perturbations are the new feature of higher dimensions. We render the metric perturbations asymptotically anti-de Sitter by employing a suitable gauge choice for each of the sectors. Finally, we analyze the resonant structure of the perturbed equations at second order for the five dimensional case, by a partial study of single mode tensor-type perturbations at the linear level. For the cases we studied, resonant terms vanish at second order.

description: NuSTAR observatory, with its 3 - 78 keV broadband spectral coverage, enables the detections of the high-energy cutoff in a number of active galaxies, including several individual radio loud ones. In this work we present systematic and uniform analyses of 55 NuSTAR spectra for a large sample of 28 radio galaxies, 20 of which are FR II galaxies. We perform spectral fitting to measure the high energy cut-off $E_{cut}$, photon index $Γ$, reflection factor R and Fe K$α$ line equivalent width. Measurements of $E_{cut}$ are given for 13 sources, and lower limits for the rest. We find those $E_{cut}$ non-detections could primarily be attributed to the obviously smaller net photon counts in their spectra. This indicates that the NuSTAR spectra of the majority of our sample are dominated by the thermal corona emission, and the $E_{cut}$ distribution of the sample is indistinguishable from that of a radio quiet one in literature. The flatter NuSTAR spectra we observed, comparing with radio quiet sources, are thus unlikely due to jet contamination. The radio galaxies also show weaker X-ray reflection (both in R and Fe K$α$ line EW) comparing with radio quiet ones. Combining with the radio quiet sample we see a correlation between R and EW, but with considerably large scatter. Notably, the radio loud and quiet sources appear to follow a common $Γ$ - R correlation trend, supporting the outflowing corona model for both populations in which higher bulk outflowing velocity yields weaker reflection and flatter X-ray slope.

description: In this paper we provide a new proof that the Grosse-Wulkenhaar non-commutative scalar Phi^4_4 theory is renormalizable to all orders in perturbation theory, and extend it to more general models with covariant derivatives. Our proof relies solely on a multiscale analysis in x space. We think this proof is simpler and could be more adapted to the future study of these theories (in particular at the non-perturbative or constructive level).

description: Using the statistics of pixel optical depths, we compare HI, CIV and CIII absorption in a set of six high quality z ~ 3-4 quasar absorption spectra to that in spectra drawn from two different state-of-the-art cosmological simulations that include galactic outflows. We find that the simulations predict far too little CIV absorption unless the UVB is extremely soft, and always predict far too small CIII/CIV ratios. We note, however, that much of the enriched gas is in a phase (T ~ 10^5-10^7 K, overdensity ~ 0.1-10, Z >~0.1 Z_sol) that should cool by metal line emission -- which was not included in our simulations. When the effect of cooling is modeled, the predicted CIV absorption increases substantially, but the CIII/CIV ratios are still far too small because the density of the enriched gas is too low. Finally, we find that the predicted metal distribution is much too inhomogeneous to reproduce the observed probability distribution of CIV absorption. These findings suggest that strong z

description: Agricultural studies have often differentiated and estimated different technologies within a sample of farms. The common approach is to use observable farm characteristics to split the sample into several groups and subsequently estimate different functions for each group. Alternatively, unique technologies can be determined by econometric procedures such as latent class models. This paper compares the results of a latent class model with the use of a priori information to split the sample using dairy farm data in the application. Latent class separation appears to be a superior method of separating heterogeneous technologies.

description: Hypertension is a potentially unsafe health ailment, which can be indicated directly from the Blood pressure (BP). Hypertension always leads to other health complications. Continuous monitoring of BP is very important; however, cuff-based BP measurements are discrete and uncomfortable to the user. To address this need, a cuff-less, continuous and a non-invasive BP measurement system is proposed using Photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal and demographic features using machine learning (ML) algorithms. PPG signals were acquired from 219 subjects, which undergo pre-processing and feature extraction steps. Time, frequency and time-frequency domain features were extracted from the PPG and their derivative signals. Feature selection techniques were used to reduce the computational complexity and to decrease the chance of over-fitting the ML algorithms. The features were then used to train and evaluate ML algorithms. The best regression models were selected for Systolic BP (SBP) and Diastolic BP (DBP) estimation individually. Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) along with ReliefF feature selection algorithm outperforms other algorithms in estimating SBP and DBP with a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 6.74 and 3.59 respectively. This ML model can be implemented in hardware systems to continuously monitor BP and avoid any critical health conditions due to sudden changes.

description: Recent trade negotiations have attracted much attention to the consequences of domestic support applied to agricultural markets. In various markets, researchers have examined the economic effects of regimes and scenarios with less, or different forms of, domestic support including decoupled payments. Here we examine the domestic support regimes for processed fruits and vegetables in the European Union (EU) where major policy changes were applied in 2001 and again in 2008. The changes were billed as policy “reform” but no analysis has yet evaluated quantitatively the nature of what was reformed and what was not. A simulation model is used here to assess the price, production, and welfare effects of policies that have been applied to the EU processing tomato industry. Our results indicate that EU domestic support has increased EU tomato production by 7 to 12%, decreased production in other regions by 3 to 5%, and distorted the processing tomato market most during the period between 2001 and 2007.

description: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have enabled impressive breakthroughs in various artificial intelligence (AI) applications recently due to its capability of learning high-level features from big data. However, the current demand of DNNs for computational resources especially the storage consumption is growing due to that the increasing sizes of models are being required for more and more complicated applications. To address this problem, several tensor decomposition methods including tensor-train (TT) and tensor-ring (TR) have been applied to compress DNNs and shown considerable compression effectiveness. In this work, we introduce the hierarchical Tucker (HT), a classical but rarely-used tensor decomposition method, to investigate its capability in neural network compression. We convert the weight matrices and convolutional kernels to both HT and TT formats for comparative study, since the latter is the most widely used decomposition method and the variant of HT. We further theoretically and experimentally discover that the HT format has better performance on compressing weight matrices, while the TT format is more suited for compressing convolutional kernels. Based on this phenomenon we propose a strategy of hybrid tensor decomposition by combining TT and HT together to compress convolutional and fully connected parts separately and attain better accuracy than only using the TT or HT format on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Our work illuminates the prospects of hybrid tensor decomposition for neural network compression.

description: International trade of horticultural commodities is increasingly important in many regions of the world, yet import patterns of key horticultural crops are understudied in the agricultural economics literature. Using data between 1991 and 2005, we estimate the drivers of per capita import demand for six of the most highly traded horticultural commodities. The own price elasticity estimates were negative in all import demand models and, in most cases, the effects were statistically stronger for importers in emerging countries. Import demand for horticultural commodities in developed countries has been driven primarily by prices and the level of trade openness while income and diet considerations were more important in emerging countries. Furthermore, our results show that the determinants of import demand differed across the six models, and therefore, information can be lost when data for horticultural commodities are aggregated.

description: We study the position distribution of an active Brownian particle (ABP) in the presence of stochastic resetting in two spatial dimensions. We consider three different resetting protocols : (I) where both position and orientation of the particle are reset, (II) where only the position is reset, and (III) where only the orientation is reset with a certain rate $r.$ We show that in the first two cases the ABP reaches a stationary state. Using a renewal approach, we calculate exactly the stationary marginal position distributions in the limiting cases when the resetting rate $r$ is much larger or much smaller than the rotational diffusion constant $D_R$ of the ABP. We find that, in some cases, for a large resetting rate, the position distribution diverges near the resetting point; the nature of the divergence depends on the specific protocol. For the orientation resetting, there is no stationary state, but the motion changes from a ballistic one at short-times to a diffusive one at late times. We characterize the short-time non-Gaussian marginal position distributions using a perturbative approach.

description: The spread of Asian Soybean Rust (ASR) represents a real threat to the U.S. soybean sector. We assess the potential impacts of ASR on domestic soybean production and commodity markets as well as the competitive position of the US in the soybean export market. We develop a mathematical stochastic dynamic sector model with endogenous prices to assess the economic impacts of ASR on US agriculture. The model takes into account the disease spread during the cropping season, the inherent uncertainty regarding the risk of infection, and the dichotomous decisions that farmers make (no treatment, preventive treatment, and curative treatment) facing the risk of infection. Our results suggest substantial impacts from potential ASR spread on agricultural output, prices and exports. Our simulation results suggest that substantial losses to the US soybean producers may be avoided by establishing effective soybean rust controls. ASR control policies can be particularly efficient if applied in the gateway regions on the path of the ASR spread. On the other hand, our results indicate a possible gradual shift in soybean production from lower-latitude states toward higher-latitude states.

description: Preliminary results are presented in a step scaling determination of the coefficients in the relativistic heavy quark action. By matching finite volume, heavy-heavy and heavy-light meson masses, we attempt to determine the four parameters ($m$, $ζ$, $c_B$ and $c_E$) in the on-shell-improved, heavy quark action. In this report we carry out one step in this program by matching two physically equivalent systems. The first is a fully relativistic calculation using a $24^3\times 48$, $1/a=5.4$ GeV lattice with both the heavy and light quarks treated as domain wall fermions. The second calculation uses at $16^3\times 32$, $1/a=3.6$ GeV lattice, a domain-wall light quark and a heavy quark computed with the relativistic heavy quark action. The four parameters in this heavy quark effective action are then varied to reproduce the mass spectrum from the first calculation. These calculations are carried out in the quenched approximation for a heavy quark mass approximately that of the charmed quark.

description: By many estimates, the world has just crossed the point where more than half the world’s population is urban, a trend driven by rapid urbanization in developing countries. Urban centers offer economies of scale in terms of productive enterprise and public investment. Cities are social melting pots, centers of innovation and drivers of social change. However, cities are also marked by social differentiation, poverty, conflict and environmental degradation. These are all issues that not only matter to cities but also lie at the heart of development. As such the time is right to consider afresh the relationship between cities and development. This paper introduces a significant new collection of multidisciplinary papers focused on urbanization and its implications for development. It raises four questions: (i) What is so special about the urban context? (ii) Why is urbanization and urban growth important to development at the present conjuncture? (iii) What are the strengths and limitations of our current state of knowledge about urbanization and development from the policy perspective and finally, (iv) how can a multidisciplinary perspective on the urban context add value to development research and policy?

A phenomenological model is introduced whose energy density depends on the redshift in such a way that a smooth transition among the three dominant phases of the universe evolution (radiation era, matter domination, asymptotic de Sitter state) is achieved. We use the WMAP cosmic microwave background data and the luminosity distances of Type Ia Supernovae to test whether this data can provide a signal for scaling.

In particular, it is important to understand whether the involvement in the training of a robot exhibiting social behaviors impacts on the learning and the experience of the human pupils. In this study, we addressed this question and we asked participants to learn a complex task - stabilizing an inverted pendulum - by training with physical assistance provided by a robotic manipulandum, the Wristbot. One group of participants performed the training only using the Wristbot, whereas for another group the same physical assistance was attributed to the humanoid robot iCub, who played the role of an expert trainer and exhibited also some social behaviors. The results obtained show that participants of both groups effectively acquired the skill by leveraging the physical assistance, as they significantly improved their stabilization performance even when the assistance was removed. Moreover, learning in a context of interaction with a humanoid robot assistant led subjects to increased motivation and more enjoyable training experience, without negative effects on attention and perceived effort. With the experimental approach presented in this study, it is possible to investigate the relative contribution of haptic and social signals in the context of motor learning mediated by human-robot interaction, with the aim of developing effective robot trainers.

Asymmetric induction and photochemistry of 7-benzoylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivatives
Creators: name: Scott, Charles James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The Norrish/Yang photochemistry of two series of norbornane derivatives, 7-methyl-7- benzoylnorbornanes and 7-benzoylbenzonorbornenes, has been studied in both the solid state and solution. In the 7-benzoylbenzonorbornene system, photolysis in the solid state leads to a significant alteration in the ratio of photoproducts, from a complex mixture of two Yang cyclobutanols and a Norrish type II cleavage product in solution, to a single product, an endo-aryl cyclobutanol, in the solid state due to the confining effects of the crystal lattice. Photolysis of the 7-methyl-7-benzoylnorbornanes in the solid state or solution led to formation of an endo-aryl cyclobutanol as the sole photoproduct. By utilizing ionic chiral auxiliaries it was possible to form chiral ammonium carboxylate salts between optically pure amines and the achiral norbornane derivatives containing a carboxylic acid functional group. Photolysis of the chiral salts in the solid state gave variable results, but through the use of a number of auxiliaries it was possible to achieve a high degree of enantioselectivity in the photoproducts (up to 98% ee at 100% conversion of the starting ketone). Photolysis of the same salts in solution gave only a racemic mixture of photoproducts, highlighting the critical role that the chiral crystal lattice plays in the asymmetric induction. Through the use of X-ray crystallography, solid state reactivity-crystal structure relationships were developed to explain the observed reactivity in 11 of the ketone substrates. Fortuitously, two of the molecules studied underwent single crystal-to-single crystal reactions, allowing for a detailed study of the reaction through a series of X-ray crystal structures. In this case, because the molecules studied were chiral ammonium carboxylate salts used in the asymmetric induction studies, it was possible to predict and confirm the absolute configuration of the photoproduct, as well as validate the crystal structure-reactivity relationships. Comparison of the results obtained in the studies presented have also been compared to previous work in order to develop a greater understanding of how conformational changes in the geometry of a ketone can affect the outcome of Norrish/Yang reactions.

description: We present photometric data of the type II-P supernova (SN) 2004dj in NGC 2403. The multicolor light curves cover the SN from $\sim$ 60 to 200 days after explosion, and are measured with a set of intermediate-band filters that have the advantage of tracing the strength variations of some spectral features. The light curves show a flat evolution in the middle of the plateau phase, then decline exponentially at the late times, with a rate of 0.10$\pm$0.03 mag (10 days)$^{-1}$ in most of the filters. In the nebular phase, the spectral energy distribution (SED) of SN 2004dj shows a steady increase in the flux near 6600 Åand 8500 Å, which may correspond to the emission lines of H$α$ and Ca II near-IR triplet, respectively. The photometric behavior suggests that SN 2004dj is a normal SN II-P. Compared with the light curves of another typical SN II-P 1999em, we estimate the explosion date to be June 10$\pm$21 UT, 2004 (JD 2453167$\pm$21) for SN 2004dj. We also estimate the ejected nickel mass during the explosion to be $M(^{56}\rm{Ni})$ = 0.023 $\pm$ 0.005 $M_{\odot}$ from two different methods, which is typical for a SN II-P. We derive the explosion energy $E \approx 0.75^{+0.56}_{-0.38}\times10^{51}$ erg, the ejecta mass $M \approx 10.0^{+7.4}_{-5.2}$ $M_{\odot}$, and the initial radius $R \approx 282^{+253}_{-122}$ $R_{\odot}$ for the presupernova star of SN 2004dj, which are consistent with other typical SNe II-P.

description: This paper contributes empirical evidence to the on-going debate on short sales. Our examination of how market-wide short-sale restrictions affect aggregate market returns focuses on two main questions: What is the effect of short-sale restrictions on skewness, volatility, the probability of market crashes, and liquidity? What is the effect on the market expected return or cost of capital? We report new data on the history of short-selling and put option trading regulations and practices from 111 countries, and create a short-selling feasibility indicator for the analysis of stock market indices around the world. We find that when short-selling is possible, aggregate stock returns are less volatile and there is greater liquidity. When countries start to permit short-selling, aggregate stock price increases, implying lower a cost of capital. There is no evidence that short-sale restrictions affect either the level of skewness of returns or the probability of a market crash. Collectively, our empirical evidence suggests that allowing short-selling enhances market quality.

description: The robustness of two widespread multifractal analysis methods, one based on detrended fluctuation analysis and one on wavelet leaders, is discussed in the context of time-series containing non-uniform structures with only isolated singularities. Signals generated by simulated and experimentally-realized chaos generators, together with synthetic data addressing particular aspects, are taken into consideration. The results reveal essential limitations affecting the ability of both methods to correctly infer the non-multifractal nature of signals devoid of a cascade-like hierarchy of singularities. Namely, signals harboring only isolated singularities are found to artefactually give rise to broad multifractal spectra, resembling those expected in the presence of a well-developed underlying multifractal structure. Hence, there is a real risk of incorrectly inferring multifractality due to isolated singularities. The careful consideration of local scaling properties and the distribution of Hölder exponent obtained, for example, through wavelet analysis, is indispensable for rigorously assessing the presence or absence of multifractality.

description: We reduce the classification of all supersymmetric backgrounds in eleven dimensions to the evaluation of the supercovariant derivative and of an integrability condition, which contains the field equations, on six types of spinors. We determine the expression of the supercovariant derivative on all six types of spinors and give in each case the field equations that do not arise as the integrability conditions of Killing spinor equations. The Killing spinor equations of a background become a linear system for the fluxes, geometry and spacetime derivatives of the functions that determine the spinors. The solution of the linear system expresses the fluxes in terms of the geometry and specifies the restrictions on the geometry of spacetime for all supersymmetric backgrounds. We also show that the minimum number of field equations that is needed for a supersymmetric configuration to be a solution of eleven-dimensional supergravity can be found by solving a linear system. The linear systems of the Killing spinor equations and their integrability conditions are given in both a timelike and a null spinor basis. We illustrate the construction with examples.

description: The skewness of the conditional return distribution plays a significant role in financial theory and practice. This paper examines whether conditional skewness of daily aggregate market returns is predictable and investigates the economic mechanisms underlying this predictability. In both developed and emerging markets, there is strong evidence that lagged returns predict skewness; returns are more negatively skewed following an increase in stock prices and returns are more positively skewed following a decrease in stock prices. The empirical evidence shows that the traditional explanations such as the leverage effect, the volatility feedback effect, the stock bubble model (Blanchard and Watson, 1982), and the fluctuating uncertainty theory (Veronesi, 1999) are not driving the predictability of conditional skewness at the market level. The relation between skewness and lagged returns is more consistent with the Cao, Coval, and Hirshleifer (2002) model. Our findings have implications for future theoretical and empirical models of time-varying market return distributions, optimal asset allocation, and risk management.
