description: We use conjoint choice questions to investigate people's preferences for income and reductions in mortality risks delivered by contaminated site remediation policies. Our survey is self-administered using the computer by residents of four cities in Italy with severely contaminated sites. We estimate the Value of a Statistical Life to be about 5.6 million for an immediate risk reduction. If the risk reduction takes place 20 years from now, however, the implied VSL is about 1.26 million. The discount rate implicit in the responses to the conjoint choice questions is about 7%. People are willing to pay for permanent risk reductions, but not just any amount. Risk reductions in the nearer future are valued more highly than risk reductions in the more distant future. We also find that the VSL is 'individuated', in the sense that it depends on observable individual characteristics of the respondents, familiarity with contaminated sites, concern about the health effects of exposure to toxicants, having a family member with cancer, perceived usefulness of possible government actions, and the respondent's beliefs about the goals of government remediation programs. Additional questions suggest that respondents discount lives, and do so at a discount rate in the ballpark of that implicit in their risk v. money tradeoffs.

description: Charge noise is the main hurdle preventing high-fidelity operation, in particular that of two-qubit gates, of semiconductor-quantum-dot-based spin qubits. While certain sweet spots where charge noise is substantially suppressed have been demonstrated in several types of spin qubits, the existence of one for coupled singlet-triplet qubits is unclear. We theoretically demonstrate, using full configuration-interaction calculations, that a range of nearly sweet spots appear in the coupled singlet-triplet qubit system when a strong enough magnetic field is applied externally. We further demonstrate that ramping to and from the judiciously chosen nearly sweet spot using sequences based on the shortcut to adiabaticity offers maximal gate fidelities under charge noise and phonon-induced decoherence. These results should facilitate realization of high-fidelity two-qubit gates in singlet-triplet qubit systems.

description: The paper examines the use of choice experiments (CE) to assess the economic value of alternative rail noise reduction interventions on the so-called Brennero railway, Italy. The novelty of this paper is threefold. To our knowledge, this is the first study on the valuation of noise conducted in Italy and it is the first example of CE applied in the field of rail noise valuation. Second, we consider not only the economic value assessment of noise reduction but also how this reduction is achieved, ranging from policy instruments such as barriers or train technology. Third, the paper provides an original contribution in the valuation literature since we test formally the econometric robustness of the CE estimates under three payment vehicles. In fact, we consider (a) a special regional tax, (b) reallocation of financial resource within the provincial budget on the public transport sector, and (c) reallocation of financial resource of the provincial budget from the administration and entertainment sector. Test results are mixed. Welfare analysis and policy implications of valuing rail noise reduction programs using different payment vehicles are discussed.

description: This is a companion paper to earlier work of the author, which generalizes to an infinite family of $(2,2w+1)$-cabling of the figure eight knot ($|w|>3$) and proposes general formulas for the two-variable series invariant of the family of the cable knots. The formulas provide an insight into the cabling operation. We verify the conjecture through explicit examples using the recursion method, which also provide a strong evidence for the $q$-holonomic property of the series invariant. This result paves a road for computation of the WRT invariant of a 3-manifold obtained from Dehn surgery on the cable knots via a certain $q$-series. We also analyze and conjecture formulas for $(3,3w+1)$-cabling ($|w|>3$).

title: The institutionalisation of a creative practice
Creators: name: Balz, Verena
Publisher: name: A+BE | Architecture and the Built Environment
Year: 2019

description: This chapter discusses the organisational setting of regional design in the realms of spatial planning and territorial governance. As a starting point, it argues that rules on how imagined design solutions function in an abstract, simplified ‘planning world’ are an important regional design product. When focusing on these rules, regional design practice resembles discretionary action. As such, it aims to improve planning decisions by judging the implications of planning frameworks when applied to particular situations. This implies that the involvement of actors in design practice requires careful consideration. As in any form of legitimate rule-building, a critical distance between those who initiate practices and conduct design, and those who judge the quality and relevance of design outcomes is essential. On the basis of these considerations the chapter investigates regional design practices that occurred between the 1980s and 2010s in the context of Dutch national planning. It shows how they transformed from being a form of professional advocacy, criticising planning, into a practice that was pragmatically used to implement a national planning agenda. The chapter concludes by discussing this institutionalisation of a creative practice in the Netherlands, reflecting upon the implications of these outcomes for territorial governance in particular.

Unlike all previous works, we use a method which does not require to rewrite a star-product of superfields in terms of ordinary products. In the Kählerian potential sector the one-loop contributions are analogous to ones in the undeformed theory while in the chiral potential sector the quantum corrections contain a deformation parameter.

description: We give a cyclic sieving phenomenon for symplectic $λ$-tableaux $SP(λ,2m)$, where $λ$ is a partition of an odd integer $n$ and $gcd(m,p)=1$ for any odd prime $p\leq n$. We use the crystal structure on Kashiwara-Nakashima symplectic tableaux to get a cyclic sieving action as the product $σ$ of simple reflections in the Weyl group. The cyclic sieving polynomial is the $q$-anologue of the hook-content formula for symplectic tableaux. More generally, we give a CSP for symplectic skew tableaux with analogous conditions on the shape and a cyclic group action that rotates tableaux weights in a way motivated by the $σ$-action.

description: In this paper, we revisit the application of Genetic Algorithm (GA) to the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) and introduce a family of novel crossover operators that outperform the previous state of the art. The novel crossover operators aim to exploit symmetries in the solution space, which allows us to more effectively preserve well-performing individuals, namely the fitness invariance to circular shifts and reversals of solutions. These symmetries are general and not limited to or tailored to TSP specifically.

description: Empirical energy density functionals (EDFs) are generally successful in describing nuclear properties across the table of nuclides. But their limitations motivate using the density-matrix expansion (DME) to embed long-range pion interactions into a Skyrme functional. Recent results on the impact of the pion were both encouraging and puzzling, necessitating a careful re-examination of the DME implementation. Here we take the first steps, focusing on two-body scalar terms in the DME. Exchange energies with long-range one-pion contributions are well approximated by all DME implementations considered, with preference for variants that do not truncate at two derivatives in every EDF term. The use of the DME for chiral pion contributions is therefore supported by this investigation. For scalar-isovector energies it is important to treat neutrons and protons separately. The results are found to apply under broad conditions, although self-consistency is not yet tested.

description: Electrical conductivity with gate-sweep in a few layer MoS$_2$-on-SiO$_2$ field-effect-transistor shows an abrupt reduction in hysteresis when cooled. The hysteresis and time dependent conductivity of the MoS$_2$ channel are modeled using the dynamics of interface traps' occupancy. The reduction in hysteresis is found to be steepest at a blocking temperature near 225 K. This is attributed to the interplay between thermal and barrier energies and fitted using a distribution of the latter. Further, the charge stored in the blocked traps is programmed at low temperatures by cooling under suitable gate voltage. Thus the threshold gate-voltage in nearly non-hysteretic devices at 80 K temperature is reversibly controlled over a wide range.

Data-Efficient Policy Selection for Navigation in Partial Maps via Subgoal-Based Abstraction

description: We present a novel approach for fast and reliable policy selection for navigation in partial maps. Leveraging the recent learning-augmented model-based Learning over Subgoals Planning (LSP) abstraction to plan, our robot reuses data collected during navigation to evaluate how well other alternative policies could have performed via a procedure we call offline alt-policy replay. Costs from offline alt-policy replay constrain policy selection among the LSP-based policies during deployment, allowing for improvements in convergence speed, cumulative regret and average navigation cost. With only limited prior knowledge about the nature of unseen environments, we achieve at least 67% and as much as 96% improvements on cumulative regret over the baseline bandit approach in our experiments in simulated maze and office-like environments.

In an externally applied magnetic field parallel to the electron plane, the SO coupling would result in a double-peak structure of the optical spectra. This structure can be observed within some interval of magnetic fields and only for diagonal optical transitions when the SO coupling is different in different quantum wells.

description: The correlation functions of an ionic fluid with charge and size asymmetry are studied within the framework of the random phase approximation. The results obtained for the charge-charge correlation function demonstrate that the second-moment Stillinger-Lovett (SL) rule is satisfied away from the gas-liquid critical point (CP) but not, in general, at the CP. However in the special case of a model without size assymetry the SL rules are satisfied even at the CP. The expressions for the density-density and charge-density correlation functions valid far and close to the CP are obtained explicitely.

description: Low-dose computed tomography (CT) images suffer from noise and artifacts due to photon starvation and electronic noise. Recently, some works have attempted to use diffusion models to address the over-smoothness and training instability encountered by previous deep-learning-based denoising models. However, diffusion models suffer from long inference times due to the large number of sampling steps involved. Very recently, cold diffusion model generalizes classical diffusion models and has greater flexibility. Inspired by the cold diffusion, this paper presents a novel COntextual eRror-modulated gEneralized Diffusion model for low-dose CT (LDCT) denoising, termed CoreDiff. First, CoreDiff utilizes LDCT images to displace the random Gaussian noise and employs a novel mean-preserving degradation operator to mimic the physical process of CT degradation, significantly reducing sampling steps thanks to the informative LDCT images as the starting point of the sampling process. Second, to alleviate the error accumulation problem caused by the imperfect restoration operator in the sampling process, we propose a novel ContextuaL Error-modulAted Restoration Network (CLEAR-Net), which can leverage contextual information to constrain the sampling process from structural distortion and modulate time step embedding features for better alignment with the input at the next time step. Third, to rapidly generalize to a new, unseen dose level with as few resources as possible, we devise a one-shot learning framework to make CoreDiff generalize faster and better using only a single LDCT image (un)paired with NDCT. Extensive experimental results on two datasets demonstrate that our CoreDiff outperforms competing methods in denoising and generalization performance, with a clinically acceptable inference time.

description: We study light-matter interactions in two dimensional photonic systems in the presence of a spatially homogeneous synthetic magnetic field for light. Specifically, we consider one or more two-level emitters located in the bulk region of the lattice, where for increasing magnetic field the photonic modes change from extended plane waves to circulating Landau levels. This change has a drastic effect on the resulting emitter-field dynamics, which becomes intrinsically non-Markovian and chiral, leading to the formation of strongly coupled Landau-photon polaritons. The peculiar dynamical and spectral properties of these quasi-particles can be probed with state-of-the-art photonic lattices in the optical and the microwave domain and may find various applications for the quantum simulation of strongly interacting topological models.

description: Assessing the economic consequences of sustainable production choices aimed at reducing environmental negative externalities is crucial for policy making, in light of the increasing interest and awareness experienced in the recent EU policy packages (Circular Economy package; European Green Deal and Recovery Fund to support sustainable transition). This assessment is one of the goal of the current work, which tries to provide new empirical evidence on the economic returns of such choices, drawing on previous literature on the underlying determinants of greener production choices, which are stated to differ from standard technological innovations as they are subject to a knowledge and an environmental externality. Using an original dataset on about 3000 Italian manufacturing firms we provide evidence on the relations among innovations related to the Circular Economy concept and economic outcome in the short run. The evidence shows that in the short run it is difficult to obtain economic gains, especially for the SMEs.

description: We discuss the detectability of high-redshift galaxies via [CII] 158 micron line emission by coupling an analytic model with cosmological Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations that are based on the concordance Lambda cold dark matter (CDM) model. Our analytic model describes a multiphase interstellar medium irradiated by the far ultra-violet radiation from local star-forming regions, and it calculates thermal and ionization equilibrium between cooling and heating. The model allows us to predict the mass fraction of a cold neutral medium (CNM) embedded in a warm neutral medium (WNM). Our cosmological SPH simulations include a treatment of radiative cooling/heating, star formation, and feedback effects from supernovae and galactic winds. Using our method, we make predictions for the [CII] luminosity from high-redshift galaxies which can be directly compared with upcoming observations by the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and the Space Infrared Telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA). We find that the number density of high-redshift galaxies detectable by ALMA and SPICA via [CII] emission depends significantly on the amount of neutral gas which is highly uncertain. Our calculations suggest that, in a CDM universe, most [CII] sources at z=3 are faint objects with \Snu < 0.01 mJy. Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) brighter than R_AB=23.5 mag are expected to have flux densities \Snu = 1-3 mJy depending on the strength of galactic wind feedback. The recommended observing strategy for ALMA and SPICA is to aim at very bright LBGs or star-forming DRG/BzK galaxies.

description: We report on the transmission of telecom photons entangled with a multimode solid-state quantum memory over a deployed optical fiber in a metropolitan area. Photon pairs were generated through spontaneous parametric down-conversion, with one photon stored in a rare earth-based quantum memory, and the other, at telecommunication wavelengths, traveling through increasing distances of optical fibre, first in the laboratory and then outside in a deployed fibre loop. We measured highly-non-classical correlations between the stored and the telecom photons for storage times up to 25 $μ$s and for a fibre separation up to 50 km. We also report light-matter entanglement with a two-qubit fidelity up to 88$\%$, which remains constant within error bars for all fibre lengths, showing that the telecom qubit does not suffer decoherence during the transmission. Finally, we moved the detection stage of the telecom photons to a different location placed 17 km away, and confirmed the non-classical correlations between the two photons. Our system was adapted to provide the transmission of precise detection times and synchronization signals over long quantum communication channels, providing the first steps for a future quantum network involving quantum memories and non-classical states.

description: Hydrogen detection in a reliable, fast, and cost-effective manner is a prerequisite for the large-scale implementation of hydrogen in a green economy. We present thin film Ta$_{1-y}$Pd$_y$ as effective optical sensing materials with extremely wide sensing ranges covering at least seven orders of magnitude in hydrogen pressure. Nanoconfinement of the Ta$_{1-y}$Pd$_y$ layer suppresses the first-order phase transitions present in bulk and ensures a sensing response free of any hysteresis. Unlike other sensing materials, Ta$_{1-y}$Pd$_y$ features the special property that the sensing range can be easily tuned by varying the Pd concentration without a reduction of the sensitivity of the sensing material. Combined with a suitable capping layer, sub-second response times can be achieved even at room temperature, faster than any other known thin-film hydrogen sensor.

description: We investigate the late-time neutrino emission powered by fallback mass accretion onto proto-neutron star (PNS), using neutrino radiation-hydrodynamic simulations with full Boltzmann neutrino transport. We follow the time evolution of accretion flow onto PNS until the system reaches a steady state. A standing shock wave is commonly formed in the accretion flow, whereas the shock radius varies depending on mass accretion rate and PNS mass. A sharp increase in temperature emerges in the vicinity of PNS ($\sim 10$ km), which characterizes neutrino emission. Both neutrino luminosity and average energy become higher with increasing mass accretion rate and PNS mass. The mean energy of emitted neutrinos is in the range of $10\lesssimε\lesssim20\,\mathrm{MeV}$, which is higher than that estimated from PNS cooling models ($\lesssim10\,\mathrm{MeV}$). Assuming a distance to core-collapse supernova of $10\,\mathrm{kpc}$, we quantify neutrino event rates for Super-Kamiokande (Super-K) and DUNE. The estimated detection rates are well above the background, and their energy-dependent features are qualitatively different from those expected from PNS cooling models. Another notable feature is that the neutrino emission is strongly flavor dependent, exhibiting that the neutrino event rate hinges on the neutrino oscillation model. We estimate them in the case with adiabatic Mikheev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein model, and show that the normal- and inverted mass hierarchy offer the large number of neutrino detection in Super-K and DUNE, respectively. Hence the simultaneous observation with Super-K and DUNE of the fallback neutrinos will provide a strong constraint on neutrino mass hierarchy.

description: We show that in the framework of the 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos, small neutrino masses and large lepton flavor violating processes such as μ\to 3e and μ\to eγcan be obtained by just introducing an additional Higgs sextet. In the limit of vanishing of the Yukawa interaction among Higgs and lepton triplets (h^ν= 0), the decay μ\to 3e strongly depends on the neutrino mass patterns, but the μ\to eγalmost does not. The neutrino masses are not constrained by such processes in the cases of h^ν\neq 0.

description: There has been considerable interest in the disordered Bose Hubbard model (BHM) in recent years, particularly in the context of thermalization and many-body localization. We develop a two-particle irreducible (2PI) strong-coupling approach to the disordered BHM that allows us to treat both equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium situations. We obtain equations of motion for spatio-temporal correlations and explore their equilibrium solutions. We study the equilibrium phase diagram as a function of disorder strength and discuss applications of the formalism to out-of-equilibrium situations. We also note that the disorder strengths where the emergence of non-ergodic dynamics was observed in a recent experiment [Choi $et \,al.$, Science $\bf{352}$, 1547 (2016)] appear to correspond to the Mott insulator -- Bose glass phase boundary.

description: It is known that the Einstein-Hilbert action with a positive cosmological constant can be represented as a perturbation of the SO(4,1) BF theory by a symmetry-breaking term quadratic in the B field. Introducing fermionic matter generates additional terms in the action which are polynomial in the tetrads and the spin connection. We describe how to construct the generating functional in the spin foam formalism for a generic BF theory when the sources for the B and the gauge field are present. This functional can be used to obtain a path integral for General Relativity with matter as a perturbative series whose the lowest order term is a path integral for a topological gravity coupled to matter.

Transverse tunneling current through guanine traps in DNA

description: The current - voltage dependence of the transverse tunneling current through the electron or hole traps in a DNA is investigated. The hopping of the charge between the sites of the trap and the charge-phonon coupling results in a staircase structure of the I-V curve. For typical parameters of the DNA molecule the energy characteristics of a DNA trap can be extracted from the I-V dependence, viz., for a small gate voltage the phonon frequency and for a large gate voltage the hopping integral can be found from the positions of the steps in the I-V curve. Formation of the polaronic state also results in the redistribution of the tunneling current between the different sites of the traps.

description: This paper investigates the impact of geographical origin labels on consumers' preferences. Specifically, we consider the preferences of Canadian consumers for extra virgin olive oils marketed with country-of-origin labels (COOL) and geographical indications (GIs). In contrast to previous studies, by considering a third-country market (a market different from that where production occurs), we can look simultaneously at COOL and GIs and separate the impacts of these two forms of geographical origin labels. We find that, within the context of a high quality value-added commodity such as extra virgin olive oil, consumers value both COOL and GI labels. But, in terms of the fraction of consumers with positive preferences and willingness to pay, COOL labels are valued more by Canadian consumers compared to GI labels. To better account for taste heterogeneity among consumers, we partition the sample on the basis of consumers' choice of shopping location. We find that different consumer groups vary to a large degree in their relative valuations for COOL, GI, and organic olive oils.

description: На фоне неблагополучной коррупционной статистики, конфликты интересов следует считать наиболее серьезной проблемой российской власти. Они провоцируют совершение коррупционных преступлений государственными и муниципальными служащими. Анализ ситуации был проведен с применением совокупности общенаучных и специальных методов, применимых к уголовно-правовым, политико-правовым и социально-правовым исследованиям. На базе анализа международной, национальной и ведомственной статистики, судебной практики, выявлены источники, определена природа типичных конфликтов интересов, возникающих у личного состава подразделений МЧС России. Показана реализация ведомственных (МЧС России) антикоррупционных документов (приказов), а также деятельность подразделений, работающих с личным составом, как части антикоррупционной политики. Выявлено, что возникновение конфликта интересов возможно лишь при вступлении в правоотношения власти – контроля – подчинения с организациями и физическими лицами. Прослежены: рост регуляторных и коррупционных рисков, а также неблагоприятные тенденции, связанные с неразвитостью и низкой эффективностью процедур, регламентирующих деятельность государственных служащих. Отсутствие четкой формулировки коррупционных правонарушений выделено как причина их ошибочной ассоциации с дисциплинарными проступками, допущенными с нарушением норм антикоррупционного законодательства. Анализ совокупности положений нормативных актов позволил прийти к выводу о том, что конфликт интересов сам по себе – лишь ситуация, а не правонарушение и рассматривается как статический, конкретный. Предложено в определении конфликта интересов отобразить не потенциально возможное неблагоприятное развитие событий, а как свершившийся факт, дифференцировав эти явления, ввиду того, что последнее уже включает признаки правонарушения и/или преступления.
