description: We perform a Bayesian analysis in the basis of a recently developed two-parameter class of hybrid equations of state that allow for high-mass compact star twins. While recently a wide range of radii, from 9 - 15 km, has been inferred for different neutron stars using different techniques, we perform our analysis under the supposition that the radii are towards the large end ($13-15$ km). We use this radius constraint together with the undebated statistically independent constraint for high masses ($\sim 2~M_\odot$) as priors in selecting the most probable hybrid equations of state from a family with two free parameters: the baryon excluded volume in the hadronic phase and the 8-quark vector channel interaction in the quark matter phase.

description: This paper presents a GIS-based methodology for assessing solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal potentials in urban environment. The consideration of spatial and temporal dimensions of energy resource and demand allows, for two different territories of the Geneva region, to determine the suitable building roof areas for solar installations, the solar irradiance on these areas and, finally, the electrical and/or thermal energy potentials related to the demand. Results show that the choice of combining PV and solar thermal for domestic hot water (DHW) is relevant in both territories. Actually, the installation of properly sized solar thermal collectors doesn’t decrease much the solar PV potential, while allowing significant thermal production. However, solar collectors for combined DHW and space heating (SH) require a much larger surface and, therefore, have a more important influence on the PV potential.

description: Recently, questions have arisen in Denmark as to how and why public funding should be allocated to wind power producers. This is, among other reasons, due to pressure from industrial electricity consumers who want their overall energy costs lowered. Utilising existing wind power subsidies across energy sectors may be an effective means of dealing with these concerns. The following article takes the case of a community owned renewable energy project as a microcosm for the entire Danish energy system. The local project seeks to integrate energy sectors so as to create physical and financial conditions which could allow wind power producers to reduce their reliance on subsidies. It is found that the strategy may be effective in lowering the overall energy costs of electricity consumers. Further, it is found possible to scale up this strategy and realise benefits on a national scale.

description: Linear regression is arguably the most prominent among statistical inference methods, popular both for its simplicity as well as its broad applicability. On par with data-intensive applications, the sheer size of linear regression problems creates an ever growing demand for quick and cost efficient solvers. Fortunately, a significant percentage of the data accrued can be omitted while maintaining a certain quality of statistical inference with an affordable computational budget. The present paper introduces means of identifying and omitting "less informative" observations in an online and data-adaptive fashion, built on principles of stochastic approximation and data censoring. First- and second-order stochastic approximation maximum likelihood-based algorithms for censored observations are developed for estimating the regression coefficients. Online algorithms are also put forth to reduce the overall complexity by adaptively performing censoring along with estimation. The novel algorithms entail simple closed-form updates, and have provable (non)asymptotic convergence guarantees. Furthermore, specific rules are investigated for tuning to desired censoring patterns and levels of dimensionality reduction. Simulated tests on real and synthetic datasets corroborate the efficacy of the proposed data-adaptive methods compared to data-agnostic random projection-based alternatives.
Bank Better Have My Money: Crises, Democratic Institutions, and Government Bank Acquisitions
Creators: name: Case-Ruchala, Marya Devin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Why and when do governments choose to acquire shares of private financial assets? I argue that systemic banking crises are an important, under-theorized factor in driving government bank acquisitions, which is one way through which government ownership within the banking industry increases. I further argue that, contrary to prior theory, this crisis effect is stronger among democracies as a result of electoral incentives to pursue policy responses that maximize economic recovery, including extensive bailouts and nationalizations, despite vocal public disfavor for bailouts such as that evidenced in the Global Occupy Movement. Using data on 156 countries for the years 2001-2012, I find that higher levels of political competition and freedom of expression are associated with greater acquisitions, while political corruption is not a positive mediating factor. I further test the possibility that the effect of democracy may be driven by crisis susceptibility through greater financial integration using latent space network analysis, and establish the novel empirical finding that co-democracy financial partners trade more on average, indicating financial integration is an important structural feature of democracies that may increase crisis susceptibility. After controlling for the degree of integration, however, the effects of democratic institutions remain positive. Ultimately these results point to a paradoxical conclusion: increasing economic and political liberalization, and the short term electoral incentives and potential for systemic risk therein, may actually motivate increased government intervention in cycles of boom and bust.

An econometric analysis of electricity demand response to price changes at the intra-day horizon: The case of manufacturing industry in West Denmark
Creators: name: Møller, Niels Framroze
name: Andersen, Frits Møller
Publisher: name: International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management
Year: 2015

description: The use of renewable energy implies a more variable supply of power. Market efficiency may improve if demand can absorb some of this variability by being more flexible, e.g. by responding quickly to changes in the market price of power. To learn about this, in particular, whether demand responds already within the same day, we suggest an econometric model for hourly consumption- and price time series. This allows for multi-level seasonality and that information about day-ahead prices does not arrive every hour but every 24th hour (as a vector of 24 prices). We confront the model with data from the manufacturing industry of West Denmark (2007-2011). The results clearly suggest a lack of response. The policy implication is that relying exclusively on hourly price response by consumers for integrating volatile renewable electricity production is questionable. Either hourly price variation has to increase considerably or demand response technologies be installed.

description: Understanding the dynamics of interacting quantum spins has been one of the active areas of condensed matter physics research. Recently, extensive inelastic neutron scattering measurements have been carried out in an interesting class of systems, Cr_2(W, Te, Mo)O_6. These systems consist of bilayers of Cr^{3+} spins (S=3/2) with strong antiferromagnetic inter-bilayer coupling (J) and tuneable intra-bilayer coupling (j) from ferro (for W and Mo) to antiferro (for Te). In the limit when J>|j|, the system reduces to weakly interacting quantum spin-3/2 dimers. In this paper we discuss the low-temperature magnetic properties of Cr_2TeO_6 systems where both intra-layer and inter-layer exchange couplings are antiferromagnetic, i.e. J,j>0. Using linear spin-wave theory we obtain the magnon dispersion, sublattice magnetization, two-magnon density of states, and longitudinal spin-spin correlation function.

description: Two noncentrosymmetric ternary pnictides, CaAgP and CaAgAs, are reported as topological line-node semimetals protected solely by mirror-reflection symmetry. The band gap vanishes on a circle in momentum space, and surface states emerge within the circle. Extending this study to spin-orbit coupled systems reveals that, compared with CaAgP, a substantial band gap is induced in CaAgAs by large spin-orbit interaction. The resulting states are a topological insulator, in which the Z2 topological invariant is given by 1; 000. To clarify the Z2 topological invariants for time-reversal-invariant systems without spatial-inversion symmetry, we introduce an alternative way to calculate the invariants characterizing a line node and topological insulator for mirror-reflection-invariant systems.

description: We analyse bidding behavior in the Nordic electricity market, where producers submit supply schedules for tomorrow's generation in a day-ahead auction. We use the two-stage stochastic mixed-integer linear program of Fleten and Kristoffersen (2007) to generate efficient bids to assist in the analysis. These bids are compared to those submitted by three Nordic reservoir hydropower producers over four two-week periods in 2011. Being price takers, the producers maximize their profits by bidding their marginal cost. We find that the hydropower producers often come close to the model-optimal result. However, not all marginal costs are taken into account, possibly leading to overproduction at low prices. Marginal costs seem in some cases to be overestimated at high production levels, leading to underproduction in some situations.

description: We study how the hot Universe evolves and acquires the prevailing vacuum state, demonstrating that in specific conditions which are believed to apply, the Universe becomes frozen into the state with the smallest value of Higgs vacuum field $v=\langle h\rangle$, even if this is not the state of lowest energy. This supports the false vacuum dark energy $Λ$-model. Under several likely hypotheses we determine the temperature in the evolution of the Universe at which two vacuua $v_1, v_2$ can swap between being true and false. We evaluate the dynamical surface pressure on domain walls between low and high mass vaccua due to the presence of matter and show that the low mass state remains the preferred vacuum of the Universe.

This reflects the following statement from the paper's abstract: "We identify significant preferences favoring girls and against African American children put up for adoption" (Statement 1). The claim is tested by probit estimations targeted at assessing PAPs’ preferences over different attributes, including child gender (Statement 3), which resulted in PAPs having a positive and sizable preference in favor of (non-African American) girls. From Table 5 - coefficient for Non-African American girl = 0.028, significant at the 0.1 percent level (Statement 4).

description: Solar energy is one of the readily available renewable energy resources in the developing countries within the tropical region. Kenya is one of the countries which receive an average of approximately 6.5 sunshine hours in a single day throughout the year. However, there is slow adoption of solar energy resources in the country due to limited information on the spatial variability solar energy potential. This study aims at assessing the potential of photovoltaic solar energy in Kenya. The factors that influence incident solar radiation which were considered in this task included atmospheric transmissivity and topography. The influence of atmospheric transmissivity was factored in by modelling monthly transmissivity factors from a combination of cloud cover, diffuse ratios and the effect of altitude. The contribution of topography was included by applying hemispherical viewshed analysis to determine the amount of incident global radiation on the surface based on the orientation of the terrain. GIS concepts were used to integrate the spatial datasets from different themes. The results showed that, about 70% of the land area in Kenya has the potential of receiving approximately 5kWh/m2/day throughout the year. In outline, this work successfully assessed the spatio-temporal variability in the characteristics of solar energy potential in Kenya and can be used as a basis for policy support in the country.

description: We investigate the high-redshift evolution of the restframe UV-luminosity function (LF) of galaxies via hydrodynamical cosmological simulations, coupled with an emulated observational astronomy pipeline that provides a direct comparison with observations. We do this by creating mock images and synthetic galaxy catalogs of approximately 100 square arcminute fields from the numerical model at redshifts ~ 4.5 to 10.4. We include the effects of dust extinction and the point spread function (PSF) for the Hubble WFC3 camera for comparison with space observations. We also include the expected zodiacal background to predict its effect on space observations, including future missions such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). When our model catalogs are fitted to Schechter function parameters, we predict that the faint-end slope alpha of the LF evolves as alpha = -1.16 - 0.12 z over the redshift range z ~ 4.5 to 7.7, in excellent agreement with observations from e.g., Hathi et al. (2010). However, for redshifts z ~ 6 to 10.4, alpha(z) appears to display a shallower evolution, alpha = -1.79 - 0.03 z. Augmenting the simulations with more detailed physics - specifically stellar winds and supernovae (SN) - produces similar results. The model shows an overproduction of galaxies, especially at faint magnitudes, compared with the observations, although the discrepancy is reduced when dust extinction is taken into account.

description: I cross-correlate the galaxy counts from the Canada-France Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS) galaxy catalogue and Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) convergence from the Planck data release 1 (2013) and 2 (2015), following the work of Omori & Holder (2015). I improve their study by computing an analytic covariance from the Halo Model, implementing simulations to validate the theoretically estimated error bars and the reconstruction method, fitting both a galaxy bias and a cross-correlation amplitude using the joint cross and galaxy auto-correlation, and performing a series of null tests. Using a bayesian analysis, I find a galaxy bias $b=0.92_{-0.02}^{+0.02}$ and a cross-correlation amplitude $A=0.85_{-0.16}^{+0.15}$ for the 2015 release, whereas for the 2013 release I find $b=0.93_{-0.02}^{+0.02}$ and $A=1.05_{-0.15}^{+0.15}$. I thus confirm the difference between the two releases found by Omori & Holder (2015), although both values of the amplitude now appear to be compatible with the fiducial value $A=1$.

description: We consider generalized metric spaces taking distances in an arbitrary ordered commutative monoid, and investigate when a class $\mathcal{K}$ of finite generalized metric spaces satisfies the Hrushovski extension property: for any $A\in\mathcal{K}$ there is some $B\in\mathcal{K}$ such that $A$ is a subspace of $B$ and any partial isometry of $A$ extends to a total isometry of $B$. Our main result is the Hrushovski property for the class of finite generalized metric spaces over a semi-archimedean monoid $\mathcal{R}$. When $\mathcal{R}$ is also countable, this can be used to show that the isometry group of the Urysohn space over $\mathcal{R}$ has ample generics. Finally, we prove the Hrushovski property for classes of integer distance metric spaces omitting triangles of uniformly bounded odd perimeter. As a corollary, given odd $n\geq 3$, we obtain ample generics for the automorphism group of the universal, existentially closed graph omitting cycles of odd length bounded by $n$.

A transition perspective on alternatives to coal in Chinese district heating
Creators: name: Zhang, Jingjing
name: Lucia, Lorenzo Di
Publisher: name: International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management
Year: 2015

description: China accounts for half of the world’s annual coal consumption. Coal is the primary energy source for heating in urban areas, particularly in northern China. This causes significant challenges for urban air quality problems in China and greenhouse gases emissions. Urban district heating (DH) systems penetration is very high in northern China. It supplies space heating to more than 80% of urban buildings in the area. Unlike the electricity and transportation sectors, the heating sector has received little attention from policy makers and researchers in China, DH systems are an enabling infrastructure which facilitates energy efficiency improvements and the use of renewable energy sources. This study explores the dynamics and possibility to expand alternative energy sources (natural gas, biomass, direct geothermal heat, ground-source heat pump, municipal waste heat, industrial waste heat) for DH in China. We apply an analytical framework largely based on the multi-level perspective in socio-technical transitions theory, in which transitions are interpreted as the result of the functioning of niche, regime and landscape elements, and interactions between them. The study provides an integrated picture of the socio-technical structure and functioning of DH in China. The results show that an energy transition in Chinese DH systems has barely started. The system is characterised by stability of the coal-based DH regime, while a number of alternative niches are struggling to emerge. Among these, natural gas is the most successful example. However, at local level different niches present opportunities in terms of physical availability, economic viability and technical capacity to address changes in landscape pressures. A sustainable heat roadmap based on integrated energy planning and policy attention at the national level could be developed as one mechanism for instigating a much needed energy transition in DH in China.

Effective theories of universal theories

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: It is well-known but sometimes overlooked that constraints on the oblique parameters (most notably $S$ and $T$ parameters) are generally speaking only applicable to a special class of new physics scenarios known as universal theories. In the effective field theory (EFT) framework, the oblique parameters should not be associated with Wilson coefficients in a particular operator basis, unless restrictions have been imposed on the EFT so that it describes universal theories. We work out these restrictions, and present a detailed EFT analysis of universal theories. We find that at the dimension-6 level, universal theories are completely characterized by 16 parameters. They are conveniently chosen to be: 5 oblique parameters that agree with the commonly-adopted ones, 4 anomalous triple-gauge couplings, 3 rescaling factors for the $h^3$, $hff$, $hVV$ vertices, 3 parameters for $hVV$ vertices absent in the Standard Model, and 1 four-fermion coupling of order $y_f^2$. All these parameters are defined in an unambiguous and basis-independent way, allowing for consistent constraints on the universal theories parameter space from precision electroweak and Higgs data.

description: Democratization is associated with a narrowing of the capacity gap between elites and non-elites. Where non-elites accumulate capacity, we should see progress toward democracy. This reflects the following statement from the paper's abstract: "In cross-national regressions, the author finds evidence that the disruptive capacity of non-elites drives democratic gains..." The author tests the claim using samples containing 64 sovereign countries and in the date range from 1901 and 2003. The author uses panel regression analyses. The model specification can be gleaned from Equation 1 and Table 4, Model 6. The test of the claim is based on the location of the estimated coefficient for the variable “Disruptive Capacity” (Table 4, Model 6). Specifically, the long-run multiplier for this effect which is the sum of the effects across each subsequent time period. The result was a statistically significant coefficient (long-run multiplier) for the variable “Disruptive Capacity” (Table 4, Model 6): b = 2.812, CI: .69 - 5.08.
The effect of cumulative training load on pre-disposing factors of injury in women's soccer players
Creators: name: D'Argenio, Elena
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: High training loads are associated with increased injury risk; however, the associated mechanism has not been established. The objective of this study was to determine if neuromuscular factors associated with injury are altered following a period of high training load exposure, which may explain the relationship between training and injury. Training load was measured daily via session ratings of perceived exertion. Neuromuscular factors such as movement quality, countermovement jump power, and range-of-motion were measured at pre- and mid-season (10-weeks in). Hip rotation ROM measures were shown to be more restricted at mid-season (p< 0.05). Ankle dorsiflexion ROM and jump power improved at mid-season (p< 0.05). A positive correlation (r=0.447) between cumulative training load and the change in right hip ER (p< 0.05) was noted. Therefore, clinicians should consider addressing Hip rotation and ankle dorsiflexion ROM and monitoring training load for changes to decrease injury risk in female soccer players.

description: This paper reviews a number of applications of optimization under uncertainty in energy markets resulting from the research project ENSYMORA. A general mathematical formulation applicable to problems of optimization under uncertainty in energy markets is presented. This formulation can be effortlessly adapted to describe different approaches: the deterministic one (usable within a rolling horizon scheme), stochastic programming and robust optimization. The different features of this mathematical formulation are duly interpreted with a view to the energy applications reviewed in this paper: trading for a price-maker wind power producer, management of heat and power systems, operation for retailers in a dynamic-price market. A selection of results shows the viability and appropriateness of the presented stochastic optimization approaches for managing energy systems under uncertainty.

description: The Danish energy system is undergoing a transition from a system based on storable fossil fuels to a system based on fluctuating renewable energy sources. At the same time, more of and more of the energy system is becoming electrified; transportation, heating and fuel usage in industry and elsewhere. This article investigates the development of the Danish energy system in a medium year 2030 situation as well as in a long-term year 2050 situation. The analyses are based on scenario development by the Danish Climate Commission. In the short term, it is investigated what the effects will be of having flexible or inflexible electric vehicles and individual heat pumps, and in the long term it is investigated what the effects of changes in the load profiles due to changing weights of demand sectors are. The analyses are based on energy systems simulations using EnergyPLAN and demand forecasting using the Helena model. The results show that even with a limited short-term electric car fleet, these will have a significant effect on the energy system; the energy system’s ability to integrated wind power and the demand for condensing power generation capacity in the system. Charging patterns and flexibility have significant effects on this. Likewise, individual heat pumps may affect the system operation if they are equipped with heat storages. The analyses also show that the long-term changes in electricity demand curve profiles have little impact on the energy system performance. The flexibility given by heat pumps and electric vehicles in the long-term future overshadows any effects of changes in hourly demand curve profiles.

It is important to elucidate the emergence and sustenance of such autocatalytic polymerization. We analyze here the stochastic polymerization reaction dynamics, to investigate the transition time from a state with almost no catalysts to a state with sufficient catalysts. We found an optimal volume that minimizes this transition time, which agrees with the inverse of the catalyst concentration at the unstable fixed point that separates the two states, as is theoretically explained. Relevance to the origin of life is also discussed.

description: We selected the claim that using longitudinal survey data from Central Java, Indonesia, this research has rejected an implication of the model of a farm household under the assumption that markets are complete: the assumption that there is a separation between production and consumption decisions is not consistent with the data. This reflects the following statement from the paper’s abstract: “Using multiple waves of longitudinal survey data from Central Java, Indonesia, this paper tests a key prediction of the recursive model: demand for farm labor is unrelated to the demographic composition of the farm household. The prediction is unambiguously rejected.” In the regression, the dependent variable is labor demand, log of person days per season, and the independent variables are household demographic composition. Household demographic composition is specified as the number of members in each gender-specific age group as in Column (8) of Table II. Joint tests for the significance of demographic groups are F-statistics. More males aged 15 years and older and more females aged 20 through 64 are significantly associated with greater total labor demand, with estimated effects being greatest for males aged 35 to 64 years. The significance of demographic composition is confirmed by the F tests for joint significance at the bottom of the table. Recursion is rejected. (See Table II for effect sizes of all coefficients. F for “All groups” is 6.19, p = 0.00.) The focal test in the original paper is: More males aged 15 years and older and more females aged 20 through 64 are significantly associated with greater total labor demand, with estimated effects being greatest for males aged 35 to 64 years. The significance of demographic composition is confirmed by the F tests for joint significance at the bottom of the table. Recursion is rejected. (See Table II for effect sizes of all coefficients. F for “All groups” is 6.19, p = 0.00.)

The Party Divides? The Effect of Non-Prototypical Leaders on Group Members' Group Support
Creators: name: Aziz, Amanda Rose

description: Social identity theory emphasizes the importance of group prototypicality—shared beliefs, norms, and behaviors within a given group—to foster distinction and cohesion. The most prototypical member often becomes group leader, which further incentivizes this behavior. What happens when this dynamic is threatened? In other words, how does a non-prototypical leader affect rank-and-file group members’ support for that leader and the group? Building off of previous work in self-categorization theory, I theorize that support for a non-prototypical leader and the group depends on rank-and-file members’ political and psychological predispositions as well as their relationship to the non-prototypical leader. The Republican Party serves as a case study to test this theory, as its members have varying levels of loyalty to Donald Trump (whom I classify as a non-prototypical leader) and the Republican Party itself. Specifically, the importance of the "Republican identity" and tendencies to harbor right-wing authoritarianism or social dominance orientation traits will serve as predictors of whether or not Republicans express support for Donald Trump or the party. This study utilizes data from an MTurk experiment conducted on Republicans before the 2018 election, in which the strength of frames emphasizing Donald Trump’s non-prototypicality are randomized to understand how changes in perceptions of prototypicality affect support for a non-prototypical leader and the group they lead.

description: It has been shown recently [J. L. Lado et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 027203 (2014)] that edge magnetic moments in graphene-like nanoribbons are strongly influenced by the intrinsic spin-orbit interaction. Due to this interaction an anisotropy comes about which makes the in-plane arrangement of magnetic moments energetically more favorable than that corresponding to the out-of-plane configuration. In this paper we raise both the edge magnetism problem as well as differential conductance and shot noise Fano factor issues, in the context of finite-size flakes within the Coulomb blockade (CB) transport regime. Our findings elucidate the following problems: (i) modification of the CB diamonds by the appearance of the in-plane magnetic moments, (ii) modification of the CB diamonds by intrinsic spin-orbit interaction.
A non-linear stochastic model for an office building with air infiltration

description: This paper presents a non-linear heat dynamic model for a multi-room office building with air infiltration. Several linear and non-linear models, with and without air infiltration, are investigated and compared. The models are formulated using stochastic differential equations and the model parameters are estimated using a maximum-likelihood technique. Based on the maximum-likelihood value, the different models are statistically compared to each other using Wilk's likelihood ratio test. The model showing the best performance is finally verified in both the time domain and the frequency domain using the auto-correlation function and cumulated periodogram. The proposed model which includes air-infiltration shows a significant improvement compared to previously proposed linear models. The model has subsequently been used in applications for provision of power system services, e.g. by providing heat load reduction during peak load hours, control of indoor air temperature and for generating forecasts of power consumption from space heating.

description: We examine the evolution of the Parker instability in galactic disks using 3D numerical simulations. We consider a local Cartesian box section of a galactic disk, where gas, magnetic fields and cosmic rays are all initially in a magnetohydrostatic equilibrium. This is done for different choices of initial cosmic ray density and magnetic field. The growth rates and characteristic scales obtained from the models, as well as their dependences on the density of cosmic rays and magnetic fields, are in broad agreement with previous (linearized, ideal) analytical work. However, this non-ideal instability develops a multi-modal 3D structure, which cannot be quantitatively predicted from the earlier linearized studies. This 3D signature of the instability will be of importance in interpreting observations. As a preliminary step towards such interpretations, we calculate synthetic polarized intensity and Faraday rotation measure maps, and the associated structure functions of the latter, from our simulations; these suggest that the correlation scales inferred from rotation measure maps are a possible probe for the cosmic ray content of a given galaxy. Our calculations highlight the importance of cosmic rays in these measures, making them an essential ingredient of realistic models of the interstellar medium.

description: This paper analyses different charging strategies for a fleet of electric vehicles. Along with increasing the realism of the strategies, the opportunity for acting on the regulating market is also included. We test the value of a vehicle owner that can choose when and how to charge; by presenting a model of four alternative charging strategies. We think of them as increasing in sophistication from dumb via delayed to deterministic and stochastic model-based charging. We show that 29% of the total savings from ‘dumb’ are due to delayed charging and that substantial additional gains come charging optimally in response to predicted spot prices, and – in some settings – additional gains from using the up and down regulating prices. Particularly, strategies are chosen from uncontrolled charging through deterministic optimization, to modelling the charging and bidding problem with stochastic programming. We show that all vehicle owners will benefit from acting more intelligently on the energy market. Furthermore, the high value of the stochastic solution shows that, in case the regulating price differs from the expected, the solution to the deterministic problem becomes infeasible.
