description: In several countries, including Italy, a prominent approach to population health surveillance involves conducting repeated cross-sectional surveys at short intervals of time. These surveys gather information on the health status of individual respondents, including details on their behaviours, risk factors, and relevant socio-demographic information. While the collected data undoubtedly provides valuable information, modelling such data presents several challenges. For instance, in health risk models, it is essential to consider behavioural information, local and temporal dynamics, and disease co-occurrence. In response to these challenges, our work proposes a multivariate temporal logistic model for chronic disease diagnoses at local level. Linear predictors are modelled using individual risk factor covariates and a latent individual propensity to diseases. Leveraging a state space formulation of the model, we construct a framework in which temporal heterogeneity in regression coefficients is informed by exogenous information at local level, correspond ing to different contextual risk factors that may affect the occurrence of chronic diseases in different ways. To explore the utility and the effectiveness of our method, we analyse behavioural and risk factor surveillance data collected in Italy (PASSI), which is well-known as a country characterised by high peculiar administrative, social and territorial diversities reflected on high variability in morbidity among population subgroups.

description: Plumes are one of the most ubiquitous features seen at the limb in polar coronal holes and are considered to be a source of high density plasma streams to the fast solar wind. We analyze STEREO observations of plumes and aim to reinterpret and place observations with previous generations of EUV imagers within a new context that was recently developed from Hinode observations. We exploit the higher signal-to-noise, spatial and temporal resolution of the EUVI telescopes over that of SOHO/EIT to study the temporal variation of polar plumes in high detail. We employ recently developed insight from imaging (and spectral) diagnostics of active region, plage, and quiet Sun plasmas to identify the presence of apparent motions as high-speed upflows in magnetic regions as opposed to previous interpretations of propagating waves. In almost all polar plumes observed at the limb in these STEREO sequences, in all coronal passbands, we observe high speed jets of plasma traveling along the structures with a mean velocity of 135km/s at a range of temperatures from 0.5-1.5MK. The jets have an apparent brightness enhancement of ~5% above that of the plumes they travel on and repeat quasi-periodically, with repeat-times ranging from five to twenty-five minutes. We also notice a very weak, fine scale, rapidly evolving, but ubiquitous companion of the plumes that covers the entire coronal hole limb. The observed jets are remarkably similar in intensity enhancement, periodicity and velocity to those observed in other magnetic regions of the solar atmosphere. They are multi-thermal in nature. We infer that the jets observed on the plumes are a source of heated mass to the fast solar wind. Further, based on the previous results that motivated this study, we suggest that these jets originated in the upper chromosphere.

Why the Hamilton operator alone is not enough

description: In the many worlds community seems to exist a belief that the physics of a quantum theory is completely defined by it's Hamilton operator given in an abstract Hilbert space, especially that the position basis may be derived from it as preferred using decoherence techniques. We show, by an explicit example of non-uniqueness, taken from the theory of the KdV equation, that the Hamilton operator alone is not sufficient to fix the physics. We need the canonical operators p, q as well. As a consequence, it is not possible to derive a "preferred basis" from the Hamilton operator alone, without postulating some additional structure like a "decomposition into systems". We argue that this makes such a derivation useless for fundamental physics.

description: The treatment of wastewater containing organic pollutants has become a serious issue, and one of the advanced oxidation process, Fenton oxidation is recognized as an ideal way owing to its universality and environmental friendliness, thus efficient and economic catalysts are in great demand. Herein by incorporating Fe2+ containing compound as ligand, a tremella-like iron containing metal–organic framework (TFMOF) was synthesized with zirconium acetate and 1,1′-ferrocene-dicarboxylic acid though a facile solvothermal method. The TFMOF combined the merits of both ferrocene moiety with well dispersed Fe2+ sites in the molecular level and MOF films with large surface areas and exposed sites. And the morphology and crystal structure of TFMOF were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Moreover, employed as an effective catalyst in Fenton oxidation, over 99%, 95% and 97% of rhodamine B, methyl orange and reactive black V were rapidly degraded without the assistance of additional irradiation, and degradation conditions like pH, H2O2 and initial pollutant concentrations as well as the reaction kinetic was investigated, indicating the hydroxyl radical generated in the presence of TFMOF and H2O2 was able to degrade the pollutants into non-toxic molecular. Besides, the catalytic activity of TFMOF maintained well after three cycles. The good activity and universality of TFMOF make it a promising catalyst for the treatment of wastewater.

Inducing Positive Sorting through Performance Pay: Experimental Evidence from Pakistani Schools

description: Attracting and retaining high-quality teachers has a large social benefit, but it is challenging for schools to identify good teachers ex-ante. This paper uses teachers’ contract choices and a randomized controlled trial of performance pay with 7,000 teachers in 243 private schools in Pakistan to study whether performance pay affects the composition of teachers. Consistent with adverse selection models, we find that performance pay induces positive sorting: both among teachers with higher latent ability and among those with a more elastic effort response to incentives. Teachers also have better information about these dimensions of type than their principals. Using two additional treatments, we show effects are more pronounced among teachers with better information about their quality and teachers with lower switching costs. Accounting for these sorting effects, the total effect of performance pay on test scores is twice as large as the direct effect on the existing stock of teachers, suggesting that analyses that ignore sorting effects may substantially understate the effects of performance pay.

description: The electronic band structure of graphene in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and transverse electric field is investigated from first principles using the linearized augmented plane-wave method. The spin-orbit coupling opens a gap at the $K(K')$-point of the magnitude of 24 $μ$eV (0.28 K). This intrinsic splitting comes 96% from the usually neglected $d$ and higher orbitals. The electric field induces an additional (extrinsic) Bychkov-Rashba-type splitting of 10 $μ$eV (0.11 K) per V/nm, coming from the $σ$-$π$ mixing. A 'mini-ripple' configuration with every other atom is shifted out of the sheet by less than 1% differs little from the intrinsic case.

description: How did the largest expansion of unemployment benefits in U.S. history affect household behavior? Using anonymized bank account data covering millions of households, we provide new empirical evidence on the spending and job search responses to benefit changes during the pandemic and compare those responses to the predictions of benchmark structural models. We find that spending responds more than predicted, while job search responds an order of magnitude less than predicted. In sharp contrast to normal times when spending falls after job loss, we show that when expanded benefits are available, spending of the unemployed actually rises after job loss. Using quasi-experimental research designs, we estimate a large marginal propensity to consume out of benefits. Notably, spending responses are large even for households who have built up substantial liquidity through prior receipt of expanded benefits. These large responses contrast with a theoretical prediction that spending responses should shrink with liquidity. Simple job search models predict a sharp decline in search in the wake of a substantial benefit expansion, followed by a sustained rebound when benefits expire. We instead find that the job-finding rate is quite stable. Moreover, we document that recall plays an important role in driving job-finding dynamics throughout the pandemic. A model extended to fit these key features of the data implies small job search distortions from expanded unemployment benefits. Jointly, these spending and job finding facts suggest that benefit expansions during the pandemic were a more effective policy than predicted by standard structural models. Abstracting from general equilibrium effects, we find that overall spending was 2.0-2.6 percent higher and employment only 0.2-0.4 percent lower as a result of the benefit expansions.
Strategy, technology and the making of United States strategic doctrines, 1945-1972
Creators: name: Kupperman, Charles Martin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this thesis is to examine and analyze the nature of the relationship between the technological developments in nuclear weapons systems and the evolution of the strategic doctrine of the United States 1945-1972. Because of the dynamic nature of weapons development in the status-conscious system, there is a need to evaluate the impact of weapons technology and momentum upon strategic doctrine. There is a plethora of literature which is founded on the almost a priori assumption and analytical leap that technology is the dominating factor in the formulation of strategic doctrine. Although this extremely deterministic, technocratic theory has great popular appeal, it may serve only to obscure other equally important dimensions of defense policy and national security strategy. It is my belief that there are indeed other dimensions to strategic policy-making in addition to purely technological momentum. These additional components are the more subjective and intuitive aspects involved in the machinations of domestic and international politics of technological and strategic choice. The necessities of economics, the powerful bureaucratic pressures, and a sensitivity to a potentially vocal domestic audience were all vital factors in the making of strategic doctrine. An examination of these other variables will provide a more complete understanding of the nature of the technological-strategic relationship in the United States. Exact calendar dates delineating either technological or strategic periods are somewhat artificial; they are an inescapable necessity which will be used with caution. Structurally, the thesis will be divided into five parts: four chapters of text and one section of assorted materials. Chapter One contains a general discussion of the complexities and dynamics of defense planning in the system of nuclear deterrence. Chapter Two is devoted to the various developments and directions of nuclear technology and strategic doctrine during the period 1945-1960. Chapter Three contains a similarly styled discussion of the period 1960-1972. Chapter Four is devoted to drawing conclusions about the nature of the technological-strategic relationship in the United States. There is also a "quick-fix" section following the text which contains a glossary and various appendices. These pages will be most beneficial if perused prior to reading the text. The subject matter is profound, highly complex, and ultimately, very subjective. Because of these characteristics, a state of intellectual alertness and emotional calm is the author’s analytical and stylistic objective.
Employment Effects of Restricting Fixed-Term Contracts: Theory and Evidence

description: This paper examines a labor law reform implemented in Portugal in 2009 which restricted the use of fixed-term contracts in establishments created by large firms above a specific size threshold, covering about 10% of total employment. Drawing on linked employer-employee longitudinal data and regression discontinuity methods, we nd that, while the reform was successful in reducing the number of fixed-term jobs, it did not increase the number of permanent contracts and decreased employment in large firms. However, we nd evidence of positive spillovers to small firms that may bias reduced form estimates. To evaluate general equilibrium effects, we build and estimate a directed search and matching model with endogenous number of establishments and jobs. We find spillover effects that induce small biases on reduced form estimates but that significantly change the evaluation of the overall impact of the reform because they diffuse to the whole economy. We estimate that the reform slightly reduced aggregate employment and had negative effects on the welfare of employees and unemployed workers.

description: We use option prices and realized returns to decompose risk premia into different parts of the return state space. In the data, 8/10 of the average equity premium is attributable to monthly returns below -10%, but returns below -30% matter very little. In contrast, leading asset pricing models based on habits, long-run risks, rare disasters, undiversifiable idiosyncratic risk, and constrained intermediaries attribute the premium predominantly to returns above -10% or to the extreme left tail. We show that the discrepancy arises from an unrealistically small price of risk for stock market tail events.

title: Optimal energy controllers of energy storage systems based on load forecasting for RTG cranes network
Creators: name: Alasali, Feras
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2019

description: Given the increased international trading in ports around the world, there are significant challenges facing ports such as rising energy consumption and greenhouse emissions. The electrification of Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes is one approach used to reduce gas emissions and fuel costs at port, but has also increased the electrical demand across the electrical distribution network. This will force port operators to reinforce the low voltage network to meet this increased demand and remain within the operating constraints. An energy storage system is one potential solution to increase the energy efficiency of the low voltage distribution networks whilst avoiding expensive reinforcement of the power system. This thesis aims to highlight and address the peak demand problem in the network of electrified RTG cranes and attempts to reduce peak demand and electricity costs by optimality controlling the energy storage system by utilising load forecasts. Since there is currently lack of understanding of the volatile demand behaviour, the research begins by investigating the unique characteristics of the electrical demand of the RTG crane. This understanding is a vital tool to develop an accurate forecast model and maximise the benefits of using an energy storage system through a control system. Several short-term load forecast models have been developed based on the ARIMAX and ANN models to predict accurate day-ahead electrical R TG crane demand. The forecast results show that the highly volatile demand behaviour creates a substantial prediction challenge compared to normal residential low voltage network demand. This thesis then presents the significance of forecasting the crane demand to improve the energy performance of an electrical distribution network with an ESS by employing several optimal controllers. The novel optimal control algorithms considered for the network of RTG cranes are split into: a Model Predictive Controller (MPC) with rolling forecast system and a Stochastic Model Predictive Controller (SMPC) based on a stochastic prediction demand model. The proposed MPC and SMPC control models are compared to an optimal controller based on a fixed load forecast profile and a common and standard set-point controller. Results show that the optimal controllers based on a load forecast have improved the storage device performance for the peak reduction and cost savings compared to the traditional control algorithm. Further improvements are then presented for the receding horizon controllers, MPC and SMPC, which better treat the volatility of the crane demand and the uncertainty in the forecasts. Furthermore, an economic analysis of the results for different ESS location scenarios is presented to assess their viability.
The strong-coupling limit of minimal lattice Landau gauge

description: We study the gluon and ghost propagators of lattice Landau gauge in the strong coupling limit $β= 0$ in pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory to find evidence of the conformal infrared behaviour of these propagators as predicted by a variety of functional continuum methods for asymptotically small momenta $q^2 \ll Λ_\mathrm{QCD}^2$. In the strong-coupling limit, this same behaviour is obtained for the larger values of $a^2q^2$ (in units of the lattice spacing $a$), where it is otherwise swamped by the gauge field dynamics. Deviations for $a^2 q^2 < 1 $ are well parametrized by a transverse gluon mass $\propto 1/a$. Perhaps unexpectedly, these deviations are thus no finite-volume effect but persist in the infinite-volume limit. They furthermore depend on the definition of gauge fields on the lattice, while the asymptotic conformal behaviour does not.

description: This empirical paper deals with the impacts of sentiment about the future, short-run risk, and long-run risk in a dynamic economic model of optimal consumption decisions with recursive preferences. The empirical strategy combines both a latent factor method and a democratic orthogonalization technique. The latent factor method is applied to a large database of macroeconomic indicators and a democratic orthogonalization technique is used to separate the relative importance of sentiment about the future and long-run risk channels in shaping optimal consumption decisions. This offers the opportunity to exploit a data rich information base in assessing uncertainty shocks and changes in the dynamics of the state of the economy over time. The empirical results suggest that consumers with recursive preferences are not indifferent to long-run uncertainty shocks to future consumption prospects. Endogenous consumption variations are driven by a multi-component mechanism, where on average the sentiment component accounts for 15.33%, the short-run risk accounts for 16.89%, and the long-run risk pertains to 34.51%. This suggests that channels of economic decisions relating to sentiment about the future and broader attitudes towards short-run and long-run risks are important features to be considered in analyzing dynamic stochastic economic models with recursive utility.

The constants are calculated using the multi-channel quantum-defect approach. The calculation includes processes that involve a change Delta J<=2 in the rotational angular momentum J of H3+. The rate constants are calculated for states with J<=5 for rotational transitions of the H3+ ground vibrational level. The thermal rates for transitions among the lowest eight vibrational levels are also presented, averaged over the rotational structure of the vibrational levels. The conditions for producing non-thermal rotational and vibrational distributions of H3+ in astrophysical environments are discussed.

We develop an arbitration model where disputing parties choose strategic actions given asymmetric risk attitudes and learning by the arbitrator. We also model arbitration's effect on negotiated settlements. Upon establishing identification, we estimate the model using public sector wage disputes in New Jersey. Counterfactual
simulations find that the more risk-averse party obtains superior outcomes in arbitration but inferior outcomes upon accounting for negotiated settlements. Simulations comparing two popular arbitration designs final-offer and conventional – support the view that final-offer arbitration leads to less divergent offers and superior
information revelation but higher-variance awards.

description: Recently, it was shown, that the mechanical model of a massive spinning particle proposed by Kuzenko, Lyakhovich and Segal in 1994, which is also the fundamental relativistic rotator rediscovered independently 15 years later by Staruszkiewicz in quite a different context, is defective as a dynamical system, that is, its Cauchy problem is not well posed. This dynamical system is fundamental, since its mass and spin are parameters, not arbitrary constants of motion, which is a classical counterpart of quantum irreducibility. It is therefore desirable to find other objects which, apart from being fundamental, would also have well posed Cauchy problem. For that purpose, a class of breathing rotators is considered. A breathing rotator consists of a single null vector associated with position and moves in accordance with some relativistic laws of motion. Surprisingly, breathing rotators which are fundamental, are also defective as dynamical systems. More generally, it has been shown, that the necessary condition for a breathing rotator to be similarly defective, is functional dependence of its Casimir invariants of the Poincar{é} group.

occupational choice

description: If the average worker attributes distinct values to the intrinsic qualities of different occupations, benefitting from those values constitutes part of one's labor compensation. Based on responses in the General Social Survey (GSS), we construct an index that aggregates positive qualities such as respect, learning, and work hazards, controlling for respondent income and tenure. Using the PSID and NLSY data, we document that children of richer US parents are more likely to select into occupations that rank higher in terms of this index. We rationalize this fact when we introduce occupational choice with preferences over the intrinsic qualities of occupations into a standard theory of intergenerational mobility. Estimating the model allows us to infer the size of compensation each worker receives from their choice of occupation. When earnings are adjusted to reflect this additional compensation, we find substantially larger persistence of income from parents to children. Applying this adjustment, our model further predicts that the trends in the composition of labor demand in the US over the past three decades may have decreased intergenerational persistence, while also leading to higher growth in the welfare of the average worker.

A stability analysis for various sampled data hold types is shown to have a 25% safety margin. A time optimal control sequence for power increases is derived using switch points. The switch points are determined using simulation techniques, eliminating the use of complex and approximate calculations. A practical demand level controller is developed using machine language programming to minimize the delay from the sampling of the neutron power to the output of control action. The controller is tested with digital and analog simulations of a thermal reactor showing that a successful, near time-optimal, control algorithm with general applications to low power reactors has been developed.
Review of top quark mass measurements in CMS

description: The top quark mass is one of the most intriguing parameters of the standard model (SM). Its value indicates a Yukawa coupling close to unity, and the resulting strong ties to Higgs physics make the top quark mass a crucial ingredient for understanding essential aspects of the electroweak sector of the SM. This review offers the first comprehensive overview of the top quark mass measurements performed by the CMS Collaboration using the data collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. Moreover, a detailed description of the top quark event reconstruction is provided and dedicated studies of the dominant uncertainties in the modelling of the signal processes are discussed. The interpretation of the experimental results on the top quark mass in terms of the SM Lagrangian parameter is challenging and is a focus of an ongoing discussion in the theory community. The CMS Collaboration has performed two main types of top quark mass measurements, addressing this challenge from different perspectives: highly precise `direct' measurements, based on reconstructed top quark decay products and relying exclusively on Monte-Carlo simulations, as well as `indirect' measurements, where the simulations are employed to determine parton-level cross sections that are compared to fixed-order perturbative calculations. Recent mass extractions using Lorentz-boosted top quarks open a new avenue of measurements based on top quark decay products contained in a single particle jet, with promising prospects for accurate theoretical interpretations.

description: The purpose of the paper is five-fold: (a) Argue that the question in the title can be presented in a meaningful manner and that it requires an answer. (b) Discuss the conventional answers and explain why they are unsatisfactory. (c) Suggest that a key ingredient in the answer could be the instability arising due to the `wrong' sign in the Hilbert action for the kinetic energy term corresponding to expansion factor. (d) Describe how this idea connects up with another peculiar feature of our universe, viz. it spontaneously became more and more classical in the course of evolution. (e) Provide a speculative but plausible scenario, based on the thermodynamic perspective of gravity, in which one has the hope for relating the thermodynamic and cosmological arrows of time.

description: Gravity theories that can be viewed as dynamics for area metric manifolds, for which Brans-Dicke theory presents a recently studied example, require for their physical interpretation the identification of the distinguished curves that serve as the trajectories of light and massive matter. Complementing previous results on the propagation of light, we study effective massive point particle motion. We show that the relevant geometrical structure is a special Finsler norm determined by the area metric, and that massive point particles follow Finsler geodesics.

description: This study aimed to develop a fluorescence assay for Cu2+ monitoring with cascade signal amplification using split Mg2+-dependent DNAzyme subunits as the sensing system and fluorescence as the signal reporter. A subunit of DNAzyme can be formed through a Cu2+-catalysed click reaction between azide- and alkyne-modified short sequences immobilized on magnetic beads, eliminating the washing steps of conventional assays. The immobilized subunit recruits the assisting oligonucleotides to form an autocatalytic DNAzyme as the signal amplifier and a caged fluorescent molecule as the signal reporter. This assay is ultrasensitive, enabling the detection of trace levels of Cu2+ as low as 2 nM, which enhances the detection sensitivity by approximately 100-fold. In addition, the whole reaction process does not require a long manipulation time or a complicated procedure, making the system simple and cost-effective. This method is robust and can be applied to the determination of spiked Cu2+ in water samples with satisfactory recovery. The combination of click chemistry with fluorescent DNAzyme for a simple on-site detection assay can be used for the rapid and sensitive screening of Cu2+.

description: As the climate crisis intensifies, understanding the environmental impact of professional activities is paramount, especially in sectors with historically significant resource utilisation. This includes High Energy Physics (HEP) and related fields, which investigate the fundamental laws of our universe. As members of the young High Energy Physicists (yHEP) association, we investigate the CO$_2$-equivalent emissions generated by HEP-related research on a personalised per-researcher level, for four distinct categories: Experiments, tied to collaborations with substantial infrastructure; Institutional, representing the resource consumption of research institutes and universities; Computing, focussing on simulations and data analysis; and Travel, covering professional trips to conferences, etc. The findings are integrated into a tool for self-evaluation, the Know-your-footprint (Kyf) calculator, allowing the assessment of the personal and professional footprint and optionally sharing the data with the yHEP association. The study aims to heighten awareness, foster sustainability, and inspire the community to adopt more environmentally responsible research practices urgently.
