description: Autonomous vehicles have the potential to increase the capacity of roads via platooning, even when human drivers and autonomous vehicles share roads. However, when users of a road network choose their routes selfishly, the resulting traffic configuration may be very inefficient. Because of this, we consider how to influence human decisions so as to decrease congestion on these roads. We consider a network of parallel roads with two modes of transportation: (i) human drivers who will choose the quickest route available to them, and (ii) ride hailing service which provides an array of autonomous vehicle ride options, each with different prices, to users. In this work, we seek to design these prices so that when autonomous service users choose from these options and human drivers selfishly choose their resulting routes, road usage is maximized and transit delay is minimized. To do so, we formalize a model of how autonomous service users make choices between routes with different price/delay values. Developing a preference-based algorithm to learn the preferences of the users, and using a vehicle flow model related to the Fundamental Diagram of Traffic, we formulate a planning optimization to maximize a social objective and demonstrate the benefit of the proposed routing and learning scheme.

description: Dynamic facility layout planning (DFLP) involves determining an appropriate arrangement scheme of the elements making up the production system for each time period into which the planning horizon is divided. When formulating the problem as an optimisation model, using the traditional top-down approach is usual, which firstly determines the block layout (BL) and then the detailed layout (DL) of each work cell. However by this approach, the BL generates area constraints in the detailed phase, which sometimes limit its implementation. In this context, the present paper presents a multi-objective mixed integer non-linear programming (MOMINLP) model that allows the problem to be addressed by considering an alternative approach, known in the literature as the bottom-up approach. The proposed model, called bottom-up mDFLP, considers three objective functions: (1) minimise the total material handling cost (TMHC) and the total rearrangement cost (TRAC); (2) maximise the total closeness rating (TCR) between departments; (3) maximise the area utilisation ratio (AUR). The original MOMINLP is transformed into a more computationally efficient multi-objective mixed integer linear programming (MOMILP) model. The proposed model is applied and validated in a case study of a company in the metal-mechanic sector with 12 departments for three 4-month periods.

description: Developing countries spend hundreds of billions of dollars each year on schools, educational materials and teachers, but relatively little is known about how effective these expenditures are at increasing students’ years of completed schooling and, more importantly, the skills that they learn while in school. This paper examines studies published between 1990 and 2010, in both the education literature and the economics literature, to investigate which specific school and teacher characteristics, if any, appear to have strong positive impacts on learning and time in school. Starting with over 9,000 studies, 79 are selected as being of sufficient quality. Then an even higher bar is set in terms of econometric methods used, leaving 43 “high quality” studies. Finally, results are also shown separately for 13 randomized trials. The estimated impacts on time in school and learning of most school and teacher characteristics are statistically insignificant, especially when the evidence is limited to the “high quality” studies. The few variables that do have significant effects – e.g. availability of desks, teacher knowledge of the subjects they teach, and teacher absence – are not particularly surprising and thus provide little guidance for future policies and programs.

description: In this paper a real option model is developed to examine the critical factors affecting the decision to lease agricultural land to a company installing a PV power plant. The leasing payment is certain while the net revenues from agriculture are uncertain. We identify the profit values at which the farmer decides to lease his plot vs. continue farming it. By applying the model to the province of Bologna (Italy), we illustrate the possible land-use change scenarios in this area. We conclude by discussing the importance of PV energy production as a source of income for farmers and its implications from a social perspective.
Circular orbits of corotating binary black holes: comparison between analytical and numerical results

description: We compare recent numerical results, obtained within a ``helical Killing vector'' (HKV) approach, on circular orbits of corotating binary black holes to the analytical predictions made by the effective one body (EOB) method (which has been recently extended to the case of spinning bodies). On the scale of the differences between the results obtained by different numerical methods, we find good agreement between numerical data and analytical predictions for several invariant functions describing the dynamical properties of circular orbits. This agreement is robust against the post-Newtonian accuracy used for the analytical estimates, as well as under choices of resummation method for the EOB ``effective potential'', and gets better as one uses a higher post-Newtonian accuracy. These findings open the way to a significant ``merging'' of analytical and numerical methods, i.e. to matching an EOB-based analytical description of the (early and late) inspiral, up to the beginning of the plunge, to a numerical description of the plunge and merger. We illustrate also the ``flexibility'' of the EOB approach, i.e. the possibility of determining some ``best fit'' values for the analytical parameters by comparison with numerical data.

description: An investigation of microplastic (MP) occurrence in a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent with tertiary treatment was carried out. Representative sample volumes of 1 m3 were taken by applying a fractionated filtration method (500, 100, and 50 µm mesh sizes). The detection of MP mass fractions by thermal extraction desorption–gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TED-GC/MS) was achieved without the previously required additional sample pretreatment for the first time. Different types of quantification methods for the evaluation of TED-GC/MS data were tested, and their accuracy and feasibility have been proven for real samples. Polyethylene, polystyrene, and polypropylene were identified in effluent samples. The polymer mass content varied significantly between 5 and 50 mg m−3. A correlation between the MP load and the quantity of suspended matter in the WWTP effluents, particle size distribution, particle type, and operation day (i.e., weekday, season, and capacity) was not found. It can be concluded that a meaningful assessment of WWTPs requires a comprehensive sampling campaign with varying operation conditions.

description: Surface roughness is an important metric in understanding how the geologic history of an asteroid affects its small-scale topography and it provides an additional means to quantitatively compare one asteroid with another. In this study, we report the first detailed global surface roughness maps of 25143 Itokawa at horizontal scales from 8--32~m. Comparison of the spatial distribution of the surface roughness of Itokawa with 433 Eros, the other asteroid for which this kind of analysis has been possible, indicates that the two asteroids are dominated by different geologic processes. On Itokawa, the surface roughness reflects the results of down-slope activity that moves fine grained material into geopotential lows and leaves large blocks in geopotential highs. On 433 Eros, the surface roughness is controlled by geologically-recent large impact craters. In addition, large longitudinal spatial variations of surface roughness could impact the role of YORP on Itokawa.

description: The empirical literature is very far from any consensus about the appropriate model for oil price forecasting that should be implemented. Relative to the previous literature, this paper is novel in several respects. First of all, we test and systematically evaluate the ability of several alternative econometric specifications proposed in the literature to capture the dynamics of oil prices. Second, we analyse the effects of different data frequencies on the coefficient estimates and forecasts obtained using each selected econometric specification. Third, we compare different models at different data frequencies on a common sample and common data. Fourth, we evaluate the forecasting performance of each selected model using static forecasts, as well as different measures of forecast errors. Finally, we propose a new class of models which combine the relevant aspects of the financial and structural specifications proposed in the literature (“mixed” models). Our empirical findings suggest that, irrespective of the shape of the loss function, the class of financial models is to be preferred to time series models. Both financial and time series models are better than mixed and structural models. Results of the Diebold and Mariano test are not conclusive, for the loss differential seems to be statistically insignificant in the large majority of cases. Although the random walk model is not statistically outperformed by any of the alternative models, the empirical findings seem to suggest that theoretically well-grounded financial models are valid instruments for producing accurate forecasts of the WTI spot price.

description: This paper studies the customer order scheduling problem in the context of additive manufacturing. The study discusses an integrated problem involving the nesting of parts as well as the scheduling of batches of nested parts onto unrelated parallel machines. A mixed-integer programming model is presented, based on existing formulations from the literature, that integrates different materials and sequence-dependent setup times. Additionally, a metaheuristic based on an iterated local search is proposed for the problem configuration under consideration. Focusing on minimizing the total weighted tardiness of orders, the efficiency of the heuristic approach is evaluated using comprehensive test data. Further, we show the importance of the considered order-related objective by using qualitative analysis.

description: Das Parteienrecht operiert mit einem Leitbild von Parteien, das diese sowohl als Mitgliederparteien als auch als Anwesenheitsparteien begreift und konstituiert. Aufgrund dieser doppelten Verankerung der Präsenz sowohl in der faktischen als auch in der rechtlichen Grundlage der Parteien stellt die Corona-Pandemie sie vor grundlegende Herausforderungen ihrer Organisationsstruktur. Nachdem der deutsche Gesetzgeber zunächst relativ lange mit einer Anpassung gezögert hat und die Parteien daher eher auf experimenteller Grundlage ihre Aktivitäten zumindest teilweise auf Online-Formate umgestellt haben, hat der Bundestag Ende 2020 eine zeitlich befristete Änderung des Parteienrechts beschlossen, die den Parteien ein flexibleres Agieren in der Pandemie und ein teilweises Ausweichen auf digitale Veranstaltungen auch bei verbindlichen Entscheidungsfindungen ermöglichen soll. Der Beitrag beleuchtet die erheblichen sowohl praktischen als auch verfassungsrechtlichen Probleme, die die neue, vorübergehende Gesetzesfassung aufweist.

description: A Randall-Sundrum type brane-cosmological model in which slow-roll inflation on the brane is driven solely by a bulk scalar field was recently proposed by Himemoto and Sasaki. We analyze their model in detail and calculate the quantum fluctuations of the bulk scalar field $ϕ$ with $m^2=V''(ϕ)$. We decompose the bulk scalar field into the infinite mass spectrum of 4-dimensional fields; the field with the smallest mass-square, called the zero-mode, and the Kaluza-Klein modes above it with a mass gap. We find the zero-mode dominance of the classical solution holds if $|m^2|\bar\ell^2\ll1$, where $\bar{\ell}$ is the curvature radius of the effectively anti-de Sitter bulk, but it is violated if $|m^2|\bar\ell^2\gg1$, though the violation is very small. Then we evaluate the vacuum expectation value $$ on the brane. We find the zero-mode contribution completely dominates if $|m^2|\bar{\ell}^2\ll 1$ similar to the case of classical background. In contrast, we find the Kaluza-Klein contribution is small but non-negligible if the value of $|m^2|\bar{\ell}^2$ is large.

description: The effects of two window states (closed or open) on the bedroom environment and on sleep quality were investigated. Twenty-seven subjects (14 males and 13 females, 20–33 years old) without sleep disorders and chronic diseases participated. The subjects slept for two consecutive nights with windows open and two consecutive nights with windows closed in four dormitory rooms adapted for the purpose of this study, one person at a time. The order of exposure was balanced among participants. Bed temperature, room temperature, relative humidity (RH), carbon dioxide (CO2), particles (PM2.5), and noise were monitored during sleep. Sleep quality was measured using subjective ratings, a wrist-worn sleep tracker, and (for one group of 14 subjects only) polysomnography (PSG) for home use; snoring in this sub-group and awakenings were also registered. Higher PM2.5 and noise levels were found with windows open, while higher room temperature, RH, and CO2 levels were measured with windows closed. There were no differences between conditions in terms of objectively measured sleep stages but the subjects with the PSG attached snored significantly less and woke up significantly less often when sleeping with windows open. Start sleep time, end sleep time, total sleep time (TST) and time in bed (TIB) measured with the sleep tracker were confirmed by the measurements made using PSG, light sleep (N1 + N2) and sleep latency were in moderate agreement but there was no significant agreement for REM and deep sleep (N3). When sleeping with windows open, the subjects rated the air as fresher but reported higher noise levels, feeling less rested, a worse mental state and well-being, and their replies on the Groningen sleep quality scale indicated poorer sleep quality. There was no clear association between the performance test score and sleep quality. These results suggest that sleeping with windows open can provide some benefits by increasing ventilation with outdoor air, reducing CO2 concentrations, improving air quality as indicated by the subjectively rated air freshness and some of the parameters defining sleep quality, but it may also result in some discomfort if there are episodic loud noise events outdoors. Further studies are required to clarify the role of open windows in achieving good sleep quality.

description: We examine the impact of major tax legislation on business capital investment during the 1980-88 period. We detail the tax changes and imbed them into a neoclassical rental price of capital goods. We then use this rental price in two popular models of business fixed investment, a standard and a modified neo-classical model. We estimate these two models along with an accelerator model of capital investment. The models, in general, exhibit parameter instability regardless of fit. We then develop a model incorporating expected delivery lags for new capital goods and embed a forecasted output and the rental price of capital services. Again, parameter instability and fit are examined. Finally we conduct simulations of tax, price and output shocks. We conclude that the new model has parameter stability, and that the net effect of Reagan's tax policies was small.

description: Recent advancement of sensor technology has made it possible to monitor high-dimensional data streams in various manufacturing systems for quality improvement. However, existing monitoring schemes commonly assume that all data streams have the same sampling interval. This assumption does not always hold in practice, which poses new and unique challenges for multivariate statistical process control. In this paper, we propose a generic nonparametric monitoring framework to online monitor high-dimensional asynchronous and heterogeneous data streams, where sampling intervals of data streams are different from each other, and measurements of each data stream follow arbitrary distributions. In particular, we first propose a quantile-based nonparametric framework to monitor each data stream locally for possible shifts in both location and scale. Then, for unsampled measurements due to different sampling intervals, a compensation strategy based on the Bayesian approach is introduced. Furthermore, we develop a global monitoring scheme using the sum of top-r local statistics, which can quickly detect a wide range of possible shifts in all directions. Simulations and case studies are conducted to evaluate the performance and demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.

description: Gamma-ray burst (GRB) central engines and jet production mechanisms are still open questions. Assuming that the shallow decay segments of canonical X-ray afterglow lightcurves of {\em Swift} GRBs are attributed to the magnetic dipole (MD) radiations of newly-born magnetars, we derive the parameters of the magnetars and explore their possible relations to jet and MD wind emission. We show that the magnetar initial spin period ($P_0$) are tightly correlated with the jet energy ($E_{\rm jet}$), which is almost proportional to the wind energy ($E_{\rm wind}$). Our least square fits yield $P_0\propto E^{-0.36\pm 0.03}_{\rm jet}$ and $E_{\rm wind}\propto E^{0.91\pm 0.07}_{\rm jet}$. These relations may imply that a magnetar with faster rotating speed can power a more energetic GRB, and energy partition between the jet and wind may be quasi-universal. Although the $P_0-E_{\rm jet}$ relation is driven by a few sub-energetic GRBs in our sample, our Monte Carlo simulation analysis shows that sample selection biases from instrumental flux limits and contaminations of the bright jet afterglows cannot make this correlation. Within this jet-wind paradigm, we propose that GRB 101225A-like ultra-long GRBs, whose prompt gamma-ray/X-ray lightcurves are featured as a long-lasting plateau with a sharp drop, may be the orphan MD wind emission being due to misalignment of their jet axis to the light of sight. Brief discussion on the orphan MD wind emission and its association with the gravitational wave radiation of newly-born magnetars is presented.

description: Sivers asymmetry, adopted to explain transverse single spin asymmetries (SSA) observed in inclusive pion production, p(transv. polarized) p --> pion + X and p-bar(transv. polarized) p --> pion + X is used here to compute SSA in Drell-Yan processes; in this case, by considering the differential cross section in the lepton-pair invariant mass, rapidity and transverse momentum, other mechanisms which may originate SSA cannot contribute. Estimates for RHIC experiments are given.

description: The new energy vehicle (NEV) is emerging as an important alternative in the automobile industry in its potential to alleviate environmental pollution and contribute to carbon neutrality. The rapid growth of NEVs has been reflected in the scaling up of electric vehicle battery production. The dramatic increase of retired batteries, however, exposes the technological limitations in current recycling operations, which will ultimately impede the sustainable development of the NEV supply chain. Blockchain technology (BT) adoption provides a solution by contributing to the construction of an efficient recycling network. Our research investigates the influence of carbon reduction instruments on the uptake of BT. The key findings are as follows. Under a carbon tax system, (1) carbon emission reduction encourages the battery supplier to adopt BT; (2) BT adoption increases the profits of NEV supply chain stakeholders. Under carbon cap-and-trade regulations, (1) the unit outsourcing fee and the performance of the BT impact the investment decision of the manufacturer; (2) the profit of the third-party enterprise is increased by introducing the BT. Under both policies, improving the efficiency of BT helps to upgrade the traceability level and contribute to carbon neutrality in the NEV supply chain.

description: A control model of the U.S. dairy sector was constructed to determine optimal policy when bovine somatotropin is released. Social welfare defined as consumer plus producer surplus minus adjustment and net government costs was maximized. Control variables were the milk support price and government purchases of cows. Compared to previous simulation research where government policy and adoption were modeled exogenously, the results show that policy not overly disruptive to the dairy sector is possible.

Democracy, Deliberation and Social Distancing in the Pandemic: Adaptive Strategies in Legislatures and Political Parties

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged one of the foundations of democratic practice, namely that people meet in order to decide about the rules and regulations concerning their community. We identify three strategies of coping with the need to restrict or avoid physical presence and provide information on how political parties and parliaments in 29 countries initially responded to the crisis. While it is too early to arrive at definitive conclusions, it is evident that the repercussions on democracy have been substantial: Party congresses and plenary sessions were cancelled or decisions were shifted to more elitist bodies. Yet, there are also signs of widening participatory opportunities by introducing digital decision-making, particularly within political parties.

description: This study investigates the existence of solutions for the key plant capacity utilisation (PCU) concepts using general nonparametric technologies. This is done via a theoretical review of existing and some new PCU concepts. Focusing on short-run and long-run output-oriented, attainable output-oriented, and input-oriented PCU notions, we first investigate the existence of solutions at the firm level. Under mild axioms, this question regarding the existence of solutions for these PCU concepts at the firm level is affirmatively answered under variable and constant returns to scale as well as under convex and nonconvex assumptions. However, short-run and long-run output-oriented and attainable output-oriented PCU concepts may not be implementable depending on certain conditions. There are no such reservations for the input-oriented PCU. Then, for this same range of PCU concepts, we explore the more difficult question as to the existence of solutions at the industry level. The output-oriented and attainable output-oriented PCU exist at the industry level under strict conditions: existence and attainability are interwoven at this level. The industry input-oriented PCU is always feasible at the industry model. This theoretical review is supplemented by a semi-systematic empirical review, and an empirical application. We conclude that input-oriented PCU is clearly the best concept.
Critical properties of deterministic and stochastic sandpile models on two-dimensional percolation backbone

description: Both the deterministic and stochastic sandpile models are studied on the percolation backbone, a random fractal, generated on a square lattice in $2$-dimensions. In spite of the underline random structure of the backbone, the deterministic Bak Tang Wiesenfeld (BTW) model preserves its positive time auto-correlation and multifractal behaviour due to its complete toppling balance, whereas the critical properties of the stochastic sandpile model (SSM) still exhibits finite size scaling (FSS) as it exhibits on the regular lattices. Analysing the topography of the avalanches, various scaling relations are developed. While for the SSM, the extended set of critical exponents obtained is found to obey various the scaling relation in terms of the fractal dimension $d_f^B$ of the backbone, whereas the deterministic BTW model, on the other hand, does not. As the critical exponents of the SSM defined on the backbone are related to $d_f^B$, the backbone fractal dimension, they are found to be entirely different from those of the SSM defined on the regular lattice as well as on other deterministic fractals. The SSM on the percolation backbone is found to obey FSS but belongs to a new stochastic universality class.
