description: Three types of BaTiO3 core - amorphous nano-shell composite ceramics were processed from the same core-shell powder by standard sintering, spark-plasma sintering and two-step sintering techniques and characterized by XRD, HRSEM and broad-band dielectric spectroscopy in the frequency range 10^3 - 10^13 Hz including the THz and IR range. The samples differed by porosity and by the amount of interdiffusion from the cores to shells, in correlation with their increasing porosity. The dielectric spectra were also calculated using suitable models based on effective medium approximation. The measurements revealed a strong dielectric dispersion below the THz range, which cannot be explained by the modeling, and whose strength was in correlation with the degree of interdiffusion. We assigned it to an effect of the interdiffusion layers, giving rise to a strong interfacial polarization. It appears that the high-frequency dielectric spectroscopy is an extremely sensitive tool for detection of any gradient layers and sample inhomogeneities even in dielectric materials with negligible conductivity.

description: The present study is meant to fill in some information gaps occurring in the most widespread and well-known educational and reference literature about programming. The stress is laid on a very useful instrument - the bitwise operations, topic which is, unfortunately, seldom dealt with in most of the well-known books on programming. In addition, the research is very useful as regards the topic of overloading operators in any Object-oriented programming course. Given some appropriate examples, with the emphasis being laid on some particular and data structures language constructions, the results are quite interesting. The algorithm of solving the popular Sudoku puzzle is one such entertaining example.

Lucid nightmares: An exploratory online study

description: Lucid nightmares are defined as dreams with strong negative emotions in which the dreamer is aware that he or she is dreaming but is unable to change the terrifying plot of the dream and/or is unable to deliberately wake up from it. So far, very little is known about lucid nightmare content. A subsample of a representative survey consisting of 408 participants (248 women, 160 men) with a mean age of 43.54 ± 16.04 yrs. provided a most recent lucid dream experience. Of the 160 nightmarish dreams, 67 could be classified as lucid nightmares with two thirds of the dreams including the inability to wake up. “Including nightmarish elements in the most recent lucid dream report” and “Being able to change the distressing content vs. having a lucid nightmare” was not related to age, gender, education, and ethnicity in this exploratory study. Future studies should focus on the variety of lucid nightmare topics – possibly expand the definition as this is currently focused on the inability to wake up or not being able to change the plot – and intervention strategies, i.e., the most effective ways to deal with lucid nightmares.

description: Using a vector vortex coronagraph behind the 1.5-m well-corrected subaperture (WCS) at Palomar, we detected a second object very close to εCephei, a δScuti F0 IV star. The candidate companion, ~50 times fainter than εCephei, if physically associated, is a late-type K or early M star, and lies at an angular separation of 330 mas, or 1.1 λ/D for the WCS, making it the smallest angle detection ever realized with a coronagraph in terms of λ/D units. The projected separation of the putative companion is ~8.6 AU, most likely on a highly eccentric orbit. The recently detected near-infrared excess is thus likely not due to hot dust. Moreover, we also show that the previously reported IRAS 60 μm excess was due to source confusion on the galactic plane.

Tracing Stone with Metal: Estimating raw material provenance areas  in the Banat (SW-Romania) for the early Upper Palaeolithic timeframe
Creators: name: Leonard, Ine
Publisher: name: CRC806-Database
Year: 2016

description: Far too often does country- or language-specific nomenclature impede the estimation of the past lithic raw material economy. Sadly, the early Upper Palaeolithic raw material record of the open-air localities of the Banat in Southwest Romania is no exception. It is dominated by a rock in literature referred to as Silexul de tip bănăţean. Silexul means “[…] a wide range of hard rocks with sharp edges, from which Palaeolithic tools are forged (Mogoşanu and Cârciumaru 1978, 18) and cannot simply be translated to flint. Moreover, the identity of the other varieties is also far from straightforward. It is hence proposed to consider only the geochemical make-up of the lithic records by means of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. As the entire geochemical composition of a landscape is seldom mapped, the results were compared to metal ore deposits, which have an excellent documentation due to their economic value. Five groups relating to distinct metal ore deposits were recognized. These deposits are used as guides to delineate the areas, in which the outcrops should occur. Further research will combine the results of this provenance study with data on lithic technology and cortex.

description: The epic of Gilgamesh is one of the world's oldest known epics. The aim of this study is to interpret Gilgamesh’s dreams using the phenomenological method and, through this, reveal Gilgamesh’s experiences and the intentionality of his self. The theoretical resources and stages of the Phenomenological Dream Self Model (PDSM) as well as imaginative variation, which is a phenomenological technique, were used for the interpretation of the dreams in the epic of Gilgamesh. While we examined Gilgamesh’s dream self and wakeful self experiences in the first two stages of our PDSM interpretation, we compared the experiences of both selves in the third stage. In the fourth stage, we revealed the existence and the process of change and development of the feeling of omnipotence at the core of our two chosen dreams of Gilgamesh with using the narrations in the epic. As a result, we contend that both the phenomenological method and PDSM can be utilized in addition to real persons’ dreams with respect to understanding the dreams of the characters in the literary text.

description: Due to potential capability of providing unconditional security, arbitrated quantum signature (AQS) schemes, whose implementation depends on the participation of a trusted third party, received intense attention in the past decade. Recently, some typical AQS schemes were cryptanalyzed and improved. In this paper, we analyze security property of some AQS schemes and show that all the previous AQS schemes, no matter original or improved, are still insecure in the sense that the messages and the corresponding signatures can be exchanged among different receivers, allowing the receivers to deny accepting the signature of an appointed message. Some further improvement methods on the AQS schemes are also discussed.

description: We study the effects of motor-generated stresses in disordered three dimensional fiber networks using a combination of a mean-field, effective medium theory, scaling analysis and a computational model. We find that motor activity controls the elasticity in an anomalous fashion close to the point of marginal stability by coupling to critical network fluctuations. We also show that motor stresses can stabilize initially floppy networks, extending the range of critical behavior to a broad regime of network connectivities below the marginal point. Away from this regime, or at high stress, motors give rise to a linear increase in stiffness with stress. Finally, we demonstrate that our results are captured by a simple, constitutive scaling relation highlighting the important role of non-affine strain fluctuations as a susceptibility to motor stress.

cubature Kalman filter

description: We present an algorithm for estimating non-linear dynamic models, including those featuring occasionally binding constraints. The algorithm extends the Cubature Kalman Filter of Arasaratnam and Haykin (2009) with dynamic state space reduction, to give adequate speed in the presence of occasionally binding constraints, and to ensure that it can handle the large state spaces generated by pruned perturbation solutions to medium-scale DSGE models. We further extend the base algorithm to allow for alternative cubature procedures to improve the tracking of non-linearities. The algorithm relies on the solution method for models with occasionally binding constraints of Holden (2016b). We illustrate that the method can solve some of the identification problems that plague linearized DSGE models.

description: This thesis examines the therapeutic outcome of a low plant sterol diet and adjunctive drug therapy (cholestyramine) in the long term treatment of phytosterolemia. The primary dietary parameters examined were the levels of cholesterol and the major plant sterols, comprising of beta sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol. The definition of the level of sterols administered during the test period was obtained by laboratory quantitation of a prescribed dietary regimen. These levels were established at 184±47 mg of cholesterol and 112±27 mg plant sterols per day . In addition, a diet with an average macronutrient composition of 48.7±3.7% carbohydrate, 22.3±2.4% protein and 27. 6±3. 9% fat was implemented and maintained for the 18 month duration of the study. The effect of the diet over a period of 6 months, on the sterol levels of plasma, individual lipoprotein fractions (VLDL, LDL, HDL) and erythrocytes was evaluated, in a phytosterolemic patient. Apolipoproteins A and B were quantitated. The same parameters were assessed over an additional 12 months, with the adjunctive use of cholestyramine. iii The established diet was effective in lowering the total plant sterols in plasma by 37% (p<0.01). Erythrocyte cholesterol, as a percentage of total sterols increased by 10% (p<0.01) during dietary treatment. This corresponded to an actual rise in cholesterol alone, of 64% from the baseline (pO. 05) . Diet and drug therapy did not have an additional significant effect (p>O. 05) on sterol content and percentage composition of erythrocytes. The most pronounced effect of the diet on the lipoproteins, was in the VLDL and the LDL. The observed decline in the VLDL was 5 9% (p0.05). Diet therapy had insignificant effect (p>0.05) on the apolipoproteins. Diet and drug treatment caused a sharp decline in apo B of 75% (p<0.01), accompanied by a rise in apo A of 65% (p<0.01).

description: For the implementation of the DC microgrid part of the Italian demonstration in particular a Low Voltage Alternating Current (LVAC) to Direct Current (DC) Active Front End (AFE) is required. Therefore, within HYPERRIDE a bidirectional 34.5 kVA Alternating Current and Direct Current (ACDC) power electronics converter unit from AIT has been used as a basis to implement control algorithms to serve as an AFE and to supply DC microgrids from LVAC power lines. The bidirectional topology enables further to provide power flow towards the DC grid as well as to remove excess generation when a surplus of energy is available. The developed droop control uses the voltage of the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) as a parameter to control the delivered power. Within the respective task, the control algorithm has been defined, tested and validated in a Controller Hardware-in-the-loop (C-HIL) environment. In a subsequent step, the unit has been set up as real hardware to test the control algorithm. Successful tests were carried out in the AIT laboratory premises and results are reported in this document.

description: In this letter, we propose a method for period estimation in light curves from periodic variable stars using correntropy. Light curves are astronomical time series of stellar brightness over time, and are characterized as being noisy and unevenly sampled. We propose to use slotted time lags in order to estimate correntropy directly from irregularly sampled time series. A new information theoretic metric is proposed for discriminating among the peaks of the correntropy spectral density. The slotted correntropy method outperformed slotted correlation, string length, VarTools (Lomb-Scargle periodogram and Analysis of Variance), and SigSpec applications on a set of light curves drawn from the MACHO survey.

description: We consider a vertically related market characterized by downstream imperfect competition and by the monopolistic provision of an essential facility-based input, whose price is set by a social-welfare maximizing regulator. Our model shows that the regulatory knowledge about the cost for providing the monopolistic input crucially affects the design of the optimal industry structure. In particular, we compare ownership separation, which prevents a single company from having the control of both upstream and downstream operations, and legal separation, under which these activities are legally unbundled but common ownership is allowed. As long as the regulator has full information, the two industry patterns yield the same social welfare level. However, under asymmetric information about the input costs legal separation can make the whole society better off.

description: A technique is described that is used to improve the detection of radio-frequency interference in astronomical radio observatories. It is applied on a two-dimensional interference mask after regular detection in the time-frequency domain with existing techniques. The scale-invariant rank (SIR) operator is defined, which is a one-dimensional mathematical morphology technique that can be used to find adjacent intervals in the time or frequency domain that are likely to be affected by RFI. The technique might also be applicable in other areas in which morphological scale-invariant behaviour is desired, such as source detection. A new algorithm is described, that is shown to perform quite well, has linear time complexity and is fast enough to be applied in modern high resolution observatories. It is used in the default pipeline of the LOFAR observatory.

description: Using structural VARs, I find that external shocks are an important source of macroeconomic fluctuations in emerging markets. Furthermore, U.S. monetary policy shocks affect quickly and strongly interest rates and the exchange rate in a typical emerging market. The price level and real output in a typical emerging market respond to U.S. monetary policy shocks by more than the price level and real output in the U.S. itself. These findings are consistent with the idea that “when the U.S. sneezes, emerging markets catch a cold.” At the same time, U.S. monetary policy shocks are not important for emerging markets relative to other kinds of external shocks.
A New Family of Low-Complexity Decodable STBCs for Four Transmit Antennas

description: In this paper we propose a new construction method for rate-1 Fast-Group-Decodable (FGD) Space-Time-Block Codes (STBC)s for 2^a transmit antennas. We focus on the case of a=2 and we show that the new FGD rate-1 code has the lowest worst-case decoding complexity among existing comparable STBCs. The coding gain of the new rate-1 code is then optimized through constellation stretching and proved to be constant irrespective of the underlying QAM constellation prior to normalization. In a second step, we propose a new rate-2 STBC that multiplexes two of our rate-1 codes by the means of a unitary matrix. A compromise between rate and complexity is then obtained through puncturing our rate-2 code giving rise to a new rate-3/2 code. The proposed codes are compared to existing codes in the literature and simulation results show that our rate-3/2 code has a lower average decoding complexity while our rate-2 code maintains its lower average decoding complexity in the low SNR region at the expense of a small performance loss.

description: Although there is an increasing interest in index-based insurances in many developing countries, crop data scarcity hinders its implementation by forcing insurers to charge higher premiums. Expert knowledge has been considered a valuable information source to augment limited data in insurance pricing. This article investigates whether the use of expert knowledge can mitigate model risk which arises from insufficient statistical data. We adopt the Bayesian framework that allows for the combination of scarce data and expert knowledge, to estimate the risk parameter and buffer load. In addition, a benchmark for the evaluation of expert information is created by using a richer dataset generated from resampling. We find that expert knowledge reduces the parameter uncertainty and changes the insurance premium in the correct direction, but that the effect of the correction is sensitive to different strike levels of insurance indemnity.

description: Optical non-linearities at the single-photon level are key ingredients for future photonic quantum technologies. Prime candidates for the realization of strong photon-photon interactions necessary for implementing quantum information processing tasks as well as for studying strongly correlated photons in an integrated photonic device setting are quantum dots embedded in photonic crystal nanocavities. Here, we report strong quantum correlations between photons on picosecond timescales. We observe (a) photon antibunching upon resonant excitation of the lowest-energy polariton state, proving that the first cavity photon blocks the subsequent injection events, and (b) photon bunching when the laser field is in two-photon resonance with the polariton eigenstates of the second Jaynes-Cummings manifold, demonstrating that two photons at this color are more likely to be injected into the cavity jointly, than they would otherwise. Together,these results demonstrate unprecedented strong single-photon non-linearities, paving the way for realizing a single-photon transistor or a quantum optical Josephson interferometer.

description: Based on the Lee-Carter (LC) model, the benchmark in population forecasting, a variety of extensions and modifications are proposed in this paper. We investigate one of the extensions, the Hyndman-Ullah (HU) method and apply it to Asian demographic data sets: China, Japan and Taiwan. It combines ideas of functional principal component analysis (fPCA), nonparametric smoothing and time series analysis. Based on this stochastic approach, the demographic characteristics and trends in different Asian regions are calculated and compared. We illustrate that China and Japan exhibited a similar demographic trend in the past decade. We also compared the HU method with the LC model. The HU method can explain more variation of the demographic dynamics when we have data of high quality, however, it also encounters problems and performs similarly as the LC model when we deal with limited and scarce data sets, such as Chinese data sets due to the substandard quality of the data and the population policy.

description: Analogue spacetimes, (and more boldly, analogue models both of and for gravity), have attracted significant and increasing attention over the last decade and a half. Perhaps the most straightforward physical example, which serves as a template for most of the others, is Bill Unruh's model for a dumb hole, (mute black hole, acoustic black hole), wherein sound is dragged along by a moving fluid --- and can even be trapped behind an acoustic horizon. This and related analogue models for curved spacetimes are useful in many ways: Analogue spacetimes provide general relativists with extremely concrete physical models to help focus their thinking, and conversely the techniques of curved spacetime can sometimes help improve our understanding of condensed matter and/or optical systems by providing an unexpected and countervailing viewpoint. In this introductory chapter, I shall provide a few simple examples of analogue spacetimes as general background for the rest of the contributions.

Angle-dependent radiative grain alignment; Confirmation of a magnetic field - radiation anisotropy angle dependence on the efficiency of interstellar grain alignment

description: Interstellar grain alignment studies are currently experiencing a renaissance due to the development of a new quantitative theory based on Radiative Alignment Torques (RAT). One of the distinguishing predictions of this theory is a dependence of the grain alignment efficiency on the relative angle ($Ψ$) between the magnetic field and the anisotropy direction of the radiation field. In an earlier study we found observational evidence for such an effect from observations of the polarization around the star HD 97300 in the Chamaeleon I cloud. However, due to the large uncertainties in the measured visual extinctions, the result was uncertain. By acquiring explicit spectral classification of the polarization targets, we have sought to perform a more precise reanalysis of the existing polarimetry data. We have obtained new spectral types for the stars in our for our polarization sample, which we combine with photometric data from the literature to derive accurate visual extinctions for our sample of background field stars. This allows a high accuracy test of the grain alignment efficiency as a function of $Ψ$. We confirm and improve the measured accuracy of the variability of the grain alignment efficiency with $Ψ$, seen in the earlier study. We note that the grain temperature (heating) also shows a dependence on $Ψ$ which we interpret as a natural effect of the projection of the grain surface to the illuminating radiation source. This dependence also allows us to derive an estimate of the fraction of aligned grains in the cloud.

description: The cyclic activity model of a young star with the low-mass secondary component (q = M2/M1 <= 0.1) accreting a matter from circumbinary disk is considered. It is assumed that the orbit is circular and the disk and orbital planes are non-coplanar. Sets of hydrodynamics models of such a system have been calculated by the SPH method and then the variations of the circumstellar extinction and phase light curves were determined. The calculations showed that depending on the model parameters and orientation of the system in regards to an observer the different in shape and amplitude light curves can be observed. An important property of the considered models is also the dependence of the mass accretion rate onto the components on the phase of the orbital period. The results of the calculation can be used for analysis of the cyclic activity of UX Ori stars and young stars with the long-lasting eclipses.

Heavy Scalar Tau Decays in the Complex MSSM: A Full One-Loop Analysis

description: We evaluate all two-body decay modes of the heavy scalar tau in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters (cMSSM) and no generation mixing. The evaluation is based on a full one-loop calculation of all decay channels, also including hard and soft QED radiation. The renormalization of the relevant sectors is briefly reviewed. The dependence of the heavy scalar tau decay on the relevant cMSSM parameters is analyzed numerically, including also the decay to Higgs bosons and another scalar lepton or to a tau and the lightest neutralino. We find sizable contributions to many partial decay widths and branching ratios. They are mostly of O(5-10%) of the tree-level results, but can go up to 20%. These contributions are potentially important for the correct interpretation of scalar tau decays at the LHC and, if kinematically allowed, at the ILC or CLIC. The evaluation of the branching ratios of the heavy scalar tau will be implemented into the Fortran code FeynHiggs.

Berry curvature mediated valley Hall and charge Hall effects in graphene via strain engineering

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We point out a practical way to induce a finite charge Hall conductivity in graphene via an off-diagonal strain. Our conclusions are based on a general analysis and supported by numerical examples. The interplay between a substrate-induced gap and the strain is discussed. We show that the substrate-induced gap itself does not break the symmetry that maps one valley onto the other, and hence does not yield a net charge Hall effect. The net charge Hall conductivity is found to be sizable and should be observable in the presence of both the gap and the strain. The sign of the Hall conductivity can be tuned by varying the strain parameters. The valley Hall conductivity is studied as well. The valley and the orbital magnetic moment accumulations on the sample edges may be detected in a Hall conductivity experiment.

description: This paper presents insights on U.S. business cycle volatility since 1867 de- rived from diffusion indices. We employ a Bayesian dynamic factor model to obtain aggregate and sectoral economic activity indices. We find a remarkable increase in volatility across World War I, which is reversed after World War II. While we can generate evidence of postwar moderation relative to pre-1914, this evidence is not robust to structural change, implemented by time-varying factor loadings. We do find evidence of moderation in the nominal series, however, and reproduce the standard result of moderation since the 1980s. Our estimates broadly confirm the NBER historical business cycle chronology as well the National Income and Product Accounts, except for World War II where they support alternative estimates of Kuznets (1952).
