description: There is a great degree of heterogeneity among the studies that investigate whether computer technologies improve education and how students benefit from them – if at all. The overall goal of this study is to assess the effectiveness of computing technologies to raise educational performance and non-cognitive outcomes and identify what program components are most effective in doing so. To achieve this aim we pool the data sets of five separate studies about computer technology programs that include observations of 16,856 students from 148 primary schools across three provinces in China. We find that overall computing technologies have positive and significant impacts on student academic achievement in both math and in Chinese. The programs are found to be more effective if they are implemented out-of-school, avoiding what appear to be substitution effects when programs are run during school. The programs also have heterogeneous effects by gender. Specifically, boys gain more than girls in Chinese. We did not find heterogeneous effects by student initial achievement levels. We also found that the programs that help students learn math—but not Chinese—have positive impacts on student self-efficacy.

Adding Fundamental Matter to ``Chiral Rings and Anomalies in Supersymmetric Gauge Theory''
Creators: name: Seiberg, Nathan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider a supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory with matter fields in the adjoint, fundamental and anti-fundamental representations. As in the framework which was put forward by Dijkgraaf and Vafa, this theory can be described by a matrix model. We analyze this theory along the lines of [F. Cachazo, M. Douglas, N.S. and E. Witten, ``Chiral Rings and Anomalies in Supersymmetric Gauge Theory'' hep-th/0211170] and show the equivalence of the gauge theory and the matrix model. In particular, the anomaly equations in the gauge theory is identified with the loop equations in the matrix model.

Optimization based energy-efficient control inmobile communication networks
Creators: name: Faqir, Omar James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: In this work we consider how best to control mobility and transmission for the purpose of datatransfer and aggregation in a network of mobile autonomous agents. In particular we considernetworks containing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). We first consider a single link betweena mobile transmitter-receiver pair, and show that the total amount of transmittable data isbounded. For certain special, but not overly restrictive cases, we can determine closed-formexpressions for this bound, as a function of relevant mobility and communication parameters.We then use nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) to jointly optimize mobility and trans-mission schemes of all networked nodes for the purpose of minimizing the energy expenditureof the network. This yields a novel nonlinear optimal control problem for arbitrary networksof autonomous agents, which we solve with state-of-the-art nonlinear solvers. Numerical re-sults demonstrate increased network capacity and significant communication energy savingscompared to more na ̈ıve policies. All energy expenditure of an autonomous agent is due tocommunication, computation, or mobility and the actual computation of the NMPC solutionmay be a significant cost in both time and computational resources. Furthermore, frequentbroadcasting of control policies throughout the network can require significant transmit andreceive energies. Motivated by this, we develop an event-triggering scheme which accounts forthe accuracy of the optimal control solution, and provides guarantees of the minimum timebetween successive control updates. Solution accuracy should be accounted for in any triggeredNMPC scheme where the system may be run in open loop for extended times based on pos-sibly inaccurate state predictions. We use this analysis to trade-off the cost of updating ourtransmission and locomotion policies, with the frequency by which they must be updated. Thisgives a method to trade-off the computation, communication and mobility related energies ofthe mobile autonomous network.

description: With the use of first hand field survey data from 193 yak grazing households combined with remote sensing Net Primary Productivity data on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, a directional output-orientation distance function is developed with four inputs, grassland area, labor, capital and initial livestock stocking, and two outputs, good output of livestock grazing revenue and undesirable output of grazing pressure. The average technical efficiency is estimated to be 0.82, and shadow price of grazing pressure to livestock revenue is estimated to be -1.8. According to Morishima elasticity of substitution between inputs, there is significant complementary relationship between grassland area, labor and capital. Elasticity of substitution between grassland and initial livestock stocking is estimated to be 0.50. Treating grazing pressure as an undesirable output of livestock grazing in the directional distance function is a new step in the general direction of better accounting for natural resource depletion in efficiency and production analysis.
Gluing affine Yangians with bi-fundamentals

description: The affine Yangian of $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ is isomorphic to the universal enveloping algebra of $\mathcal{W}_{1+\infty}$ and can serve as a building block in the construction of new vertex operator algebras. In [1], a two-parameter family generalization of $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric $\mathcal{W}_{\infty}$ algebra was constructed by "gluing" two affine Yangians of $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ using operators that transform as $(\square, \overline{\square})$ and $(\overline{\square}, \square)$ w.r.t. the two affine Yangians. In this paper we realize a similar (but non-isomorphic) two-parameter gluing construction where the gluing operators transform as $(\square, \square)$ and $(\overline{\square}, \overline{\square})$ w.r.t. the two affine Yangians. The corresponding representation space consists of pairs of plane partitions connected by a common leg whose cross-section takes the shape of Young diagrams, offering a more transparent geometric picture than the previous construction.

description: In this paper we discuss the consequences of a Killing symmetry on the local geometrical structure of four-dimensional spacetimes. We have adopted the point of view introduced in recent works where the exterior derivative of the Killing plays a fundamental role. Then, we study some issues related with this approach and clarify why in many circumstances its use has advantages with respect to other approaches. We also extend the formalism developed in the case of vacuum spacetimes to the general case of an arbitrary energy-momentum content. Finally, we illustrate our framework with the case of spacetimes with a gravitating electromagnetic field.

Subjects: subject: 330 Wirtschaft

description: Subsidizing the geographical mobility of unemployed workers may improve welfare by relaxing their financial constraints and allowing them to find jobs in more prosperous regions. We exploit regional variation in the promotion of mobility programs along administrative borders of German employment agency districts to investigate the causal effect of offering such financial incentives on the job search behavior and labor market integration of unemployed workers. We show that promoting mobility – as intended – causes job seekers to increase their search radius, apply for and accept distant jobs. At the same time, local job search is reduced with adverse consequences for reemployment and earnings. These unintended negative effects are provoked by spatial search frictions. Overall, the unconditional provision of mobility programs harms the welfare of unemployed job seekers.

A multi-domain biophysical computational model of cardiac action potential propagation in cell monolayers
Creators: name: Houston, Charles
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: The goal of this thesis is to develop a biophysically and geometrically accurate discrete-cell computational model of cardiac action potential propagation in HL1-6 cell monolayers. HL1-6 cells are a murine atrial cell line which have slow conduction velocity in a monolayer enabling propagation to be captured experimentally at the cellular level, which is crucial in validating simulations as they shift towards advising clinical treatments. The biological model is first characterised by means of recording propagation using fluorescence microscopy. HL1-6 cell monolayers exhibit self-sustaining activity similar to re-entry/rotors observed in vivo. This activity is found to require a minimum area in which to initiate, and remains anchored around distinct lines of conduction block/slowing. A Bayesian calibration approach is investigated to capture biological variability and experimental uncertainty in action potential models. In retrospective analyses of two human atrial cell models, simpler model structures generally resulted in higher confidence in parameter estimates. The method is applied to construct an action potential model of an HL1-6 myocyte, which compares well to experimental measurements of individual ion currents, action potentials and calcium transients, and exhibits automaticity akin to the in vitro model. A multi-domain computational model of action potential propagation is developed using the spectral/hp element method and validated against theoretical and experimental results. When combined with the HL1-6 action potential model in realistic monolayer geometries, meandering self-sustaining activity could be initiated, requiring sufficient area to avoid terminating on a boundary. Increasing gap junction resistance along a thin line anchored the activity in a fashion qualitatively similar to that observed in vitro.

description: The purpose of this work is to study the global wellposedness and large time behavior results of strong solutions for the compressible Oldroyd-B model derived by Barrett, Lu, Süli (Commun. Math. Sci., 15, 1265--1323, 2017). Exploiting the Harmonic analysis tools (especially Littlewood-Paley theory), we first study the global well-posedness of the model with small initial data in spaces with low regularity. Then, under a suitable condition involving only the low frequency of the initial data, we also obtain the optimal decay rates of the solutions. Compared with the result by Wang and Wen (Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci., 30, 139--179, 2020), the polymer number density is allowed to vanish and the stress tensor isnear zero equilibrium.

description: Road accident statistics are collected from information about personal injury road accidents and their consequent casualties, to a common national standard. The aim of collecting and publishing national road accident statistics is to inform public debate and to provide the basis for determining and monitoring effective road safety policies to reduce the road accident casualty toll. They are an essential requirement for monitoring targeted reductions in road accident casualties. The credible monitoring of targeted reductions requires that data are reported consistently and accurately, and both national and local government, and local reporting police forces, work closely to achieve a common reporting standard.

Users should note that for 1985-1991, and from 2002 onwards, the Vehicle Record file does not contain breath test data. This change has been made in order to protect confidentiality.

Data for 1985-1990 were deposited at the Archive at the beginning of 2006. Prior to this, the Archive only held the Road Accident Data series from 1991 onwards. No extra documentation was available for the 1985-1990 data, so users are advised to consult the documentation for the 1991 survey.

Further information about the Road Accident Data series and research based on it may be found on the government road accidents and safety statistics webpages.

These studies comprise information gathered using STATS19 and STATS20 forms.

description: The global demand for crop biomass for both food and non-food use has markedly increased during the last decade. This recent trend was driven by population growth, income growth by consumers, industrial demand for non-food raw materials, and demand for energy in the form of crop biofuels. Consequently, relative price levels for plant biomass have intermittedly doubled since 2006. The aim of this study is identify and compare global drivers, trends and projections of this process, looking at biomass production, consumption and related resource use in Sub-Saharan Africa as opposed to the Rest of the World. Model-based quantitative projections of global crop biomass markets are reviewed and compared, and supplemented by own projections.

description: Coupled, multi-field models of inflation can provide several attractive features unavailable in the case of a single inflaton field. These models have a rich dynamical structure resulting from the interaction of the fields and their associated fluctuations. We present a formalism to study the nonequilibrium dynamics of coupled scalar fields. This formalism solves the problem of renormalizing interacting models in a transparent way using dimensional regularization. The evolution is generated by a renormalized effective Lagrangian which incorporates the dynamics of the mean fields and their associated fluctuations at one-loop order. We apply our method to two problems of physical interest: (i) a simple two-field model which exemplifies applications to reheating in inflation, and (ii) a supersymmetric hybrid inflation model. This second case is interesting because inflation terminates via a smooth phase transition which gives rise to a spinodal instability in one of the fields. We study the evolution of the zero mode of the fields and the energy density transfer to the fluctuations from the mean fields. We conclude that back reaction effects can be significant over a wide parameter range. In particular for the supersymmetric hybrid model we find that particle production can be suppressed due to these effects.

Year: 1959

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: We present and test the idea that bequest planning is linked with the experience of inheriting. We consider “a family tradition of bequeathing” as a channel through which the intention to bequeath is moulded by and is positively correlated with the experience of inheriting. Using data from the Survey on Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), we find that the experience of inheriting enhances the intention to bequeath, independently of the positive impact of wealth. We also find that the expectation of inheriting has a positive impact on the intention to bequeath, controlling for the expected increase in wealth on account of future inheritances.

description: We report $^{11}$B-NMR study on Al-doped MgB$_2$ that addresses a possible mechanism for a high superconducting (SC) transition temperature ($T_c$) of $\sim 40$ K in recently discovered MgB$_2$. The result of nuclear spin lattice relaxation rate $1/T_1$ in the SC state revealed that the size in the SC gap is not changed by substituting Al for Mg. The reduction on $T_c$ by Al-doping is shown to be due to the decrease of $N(E_F)$. According to the McMillan equation, the experimental relation between $T_c$ and the relative change in $N(E_F)$ allowed us to estimate a characteristic phonon frequency $ω\sim 700$ K and an electron-phonon coupling constant $λ\sim 0.87$. These results suggest that the high-$T_c$ superconductivity in MgB$_2$ is mediated by the strong electron-phonon coupling with high-frequency phonons.

description: We present Co $L_3$-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) of bulk LaCoO$_3$ across the thermally-induced spin-state crossover around 100~K. Owing to a high energy resolution of 25~meV, we observe unambiguously the dispersion of the intermediate-spin (IS) excitations in the low temperature regime. Approaching the intermediate temperature regime, the IS excitations are damped and the bandwidth is reduced. The observed behavior can be well described by a model of mobile IS excitons with strong attractive interaction, which we solve using dynamical mean-field theory for hard-core bosons. Our results provide a detailed mechanism of how high-spin (HS) and IS excitations interact to establish the physical properties of cobaltite perovskites.

Heisenberg and Kitaev terms have been considered on nearest and next-nearest neighbor bonds in a variety of ways. Both isotropic and anisotropic couplings are taken into account. Topological phases are characterized by Chern numbers for the distinct magnon bands as well as the number of modes for topologically protected gapless magnon edge states. Band structure, dispersion relation along the high-symmetric points of first Brillouin zone, density of states and thermal Hall conductance have been evaluated for every phase. An extensive Phase diagram has been constructed. Topological phase transition in the parameter space is also studied.

description: Learning with noisy labels is a common challenge in supervised learning. Existing approaches often require practitioners to specify noise rates, i.e., a set of parameters controlling the severity of label noises in the problem, and the specifications are either assumed to be given or estimated using additional steps. In this work, we introduce a new family of loss functions that we name as peer loss functions, which enables learning from noisy labels and does not require a priori specification of the noise rates. Peer loss functions work within the standard empirical risk minimization (ERM) framework. We show that, under mild conditions, performing ERM with peer loss functions on the noisy dataset leads to the optimal or a near-optimal classifier as if performing ERM over the clean training data, which we do not have access to. We pair our results with an extensive set of experiments. Peer loss provides a way to simplify model development when facing potentially noisy training labels, and can be promoted as a robust candidate loss function in such situations.

description: We prove that properly rescaled large planar Eulerian triangulations converge to the Brownian map. This result requires more than a standard application of the methods that have been used to obtain the convergence of other families of planar maps to the Brownian map, as the natural distance for Eulerian triangulations is a canonical oriented pseudo-distance. To circumvent this difficulty, we adapt the layer decomposition method established by Curien and Le Gall, which yields asymptotic proportionality between three natural distances on planar Eulerian triangulations: the usual graph distance, the canonical oriented pseudo-distance, and the Riemannian metric. This notably gives the first mathematical proof of a convergence to the Brownian map for maps endowed with their Riemannian metric. Along the way, we also construct new models of infinite random maps, as local limits of large planar Eulerian triangulations.

description: It is demonstrated that gravity waves of a flowing fluid in a shallow basin can be used to simulate phenomena around black holes in the laboratory. Since the speed of the gravity waves as well as their high-wavenumber dispersion (subluminal vs. superluminal) can be adjusted easily by varying the height of the fluid (and its surface tension) this scenario has certain advantages over the sonic and dielectric black hole analogs, for example, although its use in testing quantum effects is dubious. It can be used to investigate the various classical instabilities associated with black (and white) holes experimentally, including positive and negative norm mode mixing at horizons.

Type (lectotype, first-step designated by Norman 2000: 118):— ARGENTINA. Jujuy: Piquete at rio Francisco, 20 Aug. 1901, R. E. Fries 353a (S!, two sheets; second-step lectotype, here designated S No. 09-43617! [digital image], isolectotype S-R- No. 767! [digital image]).
Notes:— Norman (2000) “clearly indicated the type element” (Art. 7.10, before 2001) as to be the collection in S as the “ holotype ”, but it is an error to be corrected to lectotype (Art. 9.9 of the ICN, McNeill et al. 2012). In S herbarium, actually, two duplicate specimens exist (S 09-43617 and S-R-767), so that Norman’s mention can be considered as a first-step typification (Art. 9.17, Ex. 12 of the ICN, McNeill et al. 2012). This designation is here narrowed by selecting the most complete specimen as a second-step lectotype (Art. 9.17 of the ICN, McNeill et al. 2012, McNeill 2014).
Current status:—heterotypic synonym of Buddleja iresinoides (Grisebach 1879: 278) Hosseus (1926: 45).

description: Choosing the holiday destination and formatting a preference for it is based on a recognizable image, a good reputation, awareness of the main competitive advantages of a destination, and hence - the importance of this image and reputation for the competitiveness of tourist destinations. The image is an important, significant part of the tourist destination, on how to present to an international audience, but also what influences consumer’s preferences. Considering this, the study examines the concept of forming an image of Bulgaria as a holiday destination, in its social and psychological perspectives. And has the following objectives: (1) to propose the formation of a positive image of Bulgaria as a tourist destination, and (2) to put the focus on Thracians culture heritage. Built on the findings that regrettably, the positive initial image of Bulgaria as a tourist destination, differs from the actual experience of tourism services for consumers.

description: This dataset combines survey data about gambling behaviour from the Health Survey for England 2012 and the Scottish Health Survey 2012. These are both nationally representative household surveys. In 2012, questions about gambling were included for those aged 16 and over in each study for the first time. The same questions about past year gambling behaviour and screening instruments to identify problem gamblers were used in both studies. To boost sample sizes for analysis, the data have been combined and reweighted to be reflective of the general population living in England and Scotland. All variables which are comparable between the two surveys have also been included in this dataset.

description: After reminding of properties of the condensate of the complex scalar field in the external uniform magnetic field $H$ focus is made on the study of phases of the complex neutral vector boson fields coupled with magnetic field by the Zeeman coupling and phases of the charged vector boson fields. These systems may behave as nonmagnetic and ferromagnetic superfluids and ordinary and ferromagnetic superconductors. Response of the ferromagnetic superfluid and superconducting systems occupying half of space on the external uniform static magnetic field $H$ is thoroughly studied. Then the spin-triplet pairing of neutral fermions at conserved spin is considered. Novel phases are found. In external magnetic field the phase with zero mean spin proves to be unstable to the formation of a phase with a non-zero spin. For $H>H_{\rm cr 2}$ the spin-triplet pairing and ferromagnetic superfluidity continue to exist above the "old" phase transition critical temperature $T_{\rm cr}$. For a certain parameter choice ferromagnetic superfluid phases are formed already for $H=0$, characterized by an own magnetic field $h$. Formation of domains is discussed. Next, spin-triplet pairing of charged fermions is studied. Novel phases are found with a ferromagnetic superconductivity. Then, the 3P$_2$ $nn$ pairing in neutron star matter is studied. Also a 3P$_2$ $pp$ pairing is considered. Numerical estimates are performed in the BCS weak coupling limit and beyond it for the $3P_2$ $nn$ and $pp$ pairings, as well as for the 3S$_1$ $np$ pairing.

 Type material (1 specimen). Holotype, male: “ ECUADOR: Cosanga, Napo, 2000 m, 11-IV-1996, C. Salvador ” (QCAZ).
 Description. Total length 20.0 mm. Body black, shining, with red mouthparts and tarsi.
 Head. Oval (similar to Fig. 11), 1.43x as long as wide; dorsally and ventrally slightly convex; dorsal surface with very dense umbilicate punctures, and ventral surface with moderately dense umbilicate punctures separated by 2–3x their width (Fig. 23); temple with inferior temporal carina and a concave area (Fig. 32); eyes 0.29x as long as head; first antennomere 2.06x as long as antennomeres 2–3 combined, apical antennomere 1.06x as long as antennomeres 9–10 combined; labrum slightly bilobed (Fig. 54); with mandibular external channel; apical maxillary palpomere elongate (Fig. 38), 1.72x as long as preapical palpomere; apical labial palpomere moderately widened and flattened apically (Fig. 44), nearly twice as long as preapical palpomere.
 Thorax. Pronotum 1.5x as long as wide; 1.12x as wide as head; with dense umbilicate punctures and a narrow, longitudinal impunctate area, with anterior half slightly wider (Fig. 49); anterior half with small impunctate areas lateriad of median impunctate area; without depressed areas in posterior third. Elytra 1.08x as long as pronotum, with setae as in R. flagellicornis. Prosternum transverse, with setae sparser than on meso and metasternum.
 Abdomen: Covered with setae as in R. flagellicornis.
 Aedeagus. Ovally elongate, base of median lobe widened; total length 4.24 mm; parameres 0.29x as long as median lobe; apical area of median lobe 0.14x total length of median lobe, and internal sac with sclerotized structures (Fig. 69).
 Variation. Unknown.
 Comparison. This species is similar to R. flagellicornis but can be distinguished by the apical antennomere, which is as long as antennomeres 9–10 combined, the moderately dense umbilicate punctures on the ventral cephalic surface and mainly by the large aedeagus, with short parameres; while R. flagellicornis has an apical antennomere slightly shorter than antennomeres 9–10 combined, dense umbilicate punctures on the cephalic ventral surface and a shorter aedeagus with longer parameres.
 Etymology. The name of this species is derived from the Latin words “grandis” and “penis” and refers to the large aedeagus, the largest of this species group.
 Geographical distribution. Ecuador.

description: The use of non-differentiable priors in Bayesian statistics has become increasingly popular, in particular in Bayesian imaging analysis. Current state of the art methods are approximate in the sense that they replace the posterior with a smooth approximation via Moreau-Yosida envelopes, and apply gradient-based discretized diffusions to sample from the resulting distribution. We characterize the error of the Moreau-Yosida approximation and propose a novel implementation using underdamped Langevin dynamics. In misson-critical cases, however, replacing the posterior with an approximation may not be a viable option. Instead, we show that Piecewise-Deterministic Markov Processes (PDMP) can be utilized for exact posterior inference from distributions satisfying almost everywhere differentiability. Furthermore, in contrast with diffusion-based methods, the suggested PDMP-based samplers place no assumptions on the prior shape, nor require access to a computationally cheap proximal operator, and consequently have a much broader scope of application. Through detailed numerical examples, including a non-differentiable circular distribution and a non-convex genomics model, we elucidate the relative strengths of these sampling methods on problems of moderate to high dimensions, underlining the benefits of PDMP-based methods when accurate sampling is decisive.

description: We study the statistics of charge transport in a mesoscopic three-terminal device with one superconducting terminal and two normal-metal terminals. We calculate the full distribution of transmitted charges into the two symmetrically biased normal terminals. In a wide parameter range, we find large positive crosscorrelations between the currents in the two normal arms. We also determine the third cumulant that provides additional information on the statistics not contained in the current noise.
