description: Розглянуто концептуальні підходи до моделювання поведінки економічних суб’єктів та розкрито поняття раціональності економічного вибору. Показано, що систематична відповідність намірів та очікувань, котрі визначають дії різних, пов’язаних між собою індивідів, є основою формування певного інституційного порядку. Сформульовано авторське бачення феномену емерджентного інституційного порядку. Висвітлено результати спроби підтвердження феномену емерджентного інституційного порядку в лабораторних умовах. Наведено приклад виникнення емерджентного інституційного порядку в реальних економічних системах. Аргументується висновок про те, що важливі складові емерджентного порядку, присутні в ринкових процесах, зумовлені впливом інститутів, а не самою лише раціональністю індивідів. The article considers the conceptual approaches to modelling the behavior of economic agents and reveals the concept of the rationality of economic choice. It is shown that the systemic matching between intentions and expectations that determine actions of various interconnected individuals represents a basis to develop a specific institutional regime. The author formulates his own vision of the phenomenon of emergentic institutional regime. The article provides the results of attempts to prove the phenomenon of emergentic institutional regime in laboratory environment. An example of the appearance of emergentic institutional regime within the existing economic systems is provided. The author argues that the key components of emergentic institutional regime available within the market processes are caused by the influence of the institutions and not by the rationality of the individuals alone

description: We study behavior of bulk gauge field in the bigravity model in which two positive tension $AdS_4$ branes in $AdS_5$ bulk are included. We solve the equations of motions for Kaluza-Klein modes and determine the mass spectrum. It is shown that unlike the case of graviton, we find no ultralight Kaluza-Klein modes in the spectrum.

HIGH CONTRAST IMAGING
VORTEX
CLASSICAL LYOT CORONAGRAPH

description: MICADO will be the first-light near-infrared imager of the European Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). MICADO will be equipped with a high contrast imaging mode dedicated to the observation and characterization of exoplanets and planetary systems. The increase in sensitivity and angular resolution between the current high contrast instruments like SPHERE on the VLT or GPI on GEMINI and MICADO will allow a quantitative and qualitative jump on the study of these planetary systems. MICADO will be equipped with a set of three classical Lyot coronagraphs, one phase-apodized pupil coronagraph and two sparse aperture masks. These components are optimized for different observing conditions in narrow or large spectral band between 1150 nm and 2300 nm and will rely on the well-corrected point spread function delivered by the Single Conjugate Adaptive Optics (SCAO) of MICADO. In this paper, we describe the final design of the MICADO high contrast mode, explain the reasons that led to the choice of 3 classical Lyot coronagraphs and give the expected performance of these coronagraphs for different atmospheric conditions.

description: Binary neutron-star mergers will predominantly produce black-hole remnants of mass $\sim 3-4\,M_{\odot}$, thus populating the putative \emph{low mass gap} between neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes. If these low-mass black holes are in dense astrophysical environments, mass segregation could lead to "second-generation" compact binaries merging within a Hubble time. In this paper, we investigate possible signatures of such low-mass compact binary mergers in gravitational-wave observations. We show that this unique population of objects, if present, will be uncovered by the third-generation gravitational-wave detectors, such as Cosmic Explorer and Einstein Telescope. Future joint measurements of chirp mass ${\cal M}$ and effective spin $χ_{\rm eff}$ could clarify the formation scenario of compact objects in the low mass gap. As a case study, we show that the recent detection of GW190425 (along with GW170817) favors a double Gaussian mass model for neutron stars, under the assumption that the primary in GW190425 is a black hole formed from a previous binary neutron star merger.

Railroad Cost Considerations and the Benefits/Costs of Mergers

Year: 1997
Subjects: Industrial Organization

description: This study examines the cost conditions present in the Class I railroad industry. Recent mergers and merger proposals have brought forth questions regarding the desirability of maintaining competition in areas impacted by horizontal mergers and, similarly, the desirability of end-to-end mergers. As we consider the costs and benefits of various merger oversight policies, it is imperative that we understand the welfare effects of such policies. One essential element of such welfare effects is the effects on costs within the industry. In examining the cost conditions in the industry, the study finds that railroads are natural monopolies over current networks. That is, duplicate networks serving the same railroad markets would result in increased industry costs. This suggests that maintaining competition in markets impacted by horizontal mergers is not justified by railroad cost considerations. In examining the potential cost effects of end-to-end mergers, the study finds evidence to suggest that Class l railroads are natural monopolies as networks are expanded.
HTL quasiparticle picture of the thermodynamics of QCD

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Starting from a nonperturbative expression for entropy and density obtained from $Φ$-derivable two-loop approximations to the thermodynamic potential, a quasiparticle model for the thermodynamics of QCD can be developed which incorporates the physics of hard thermal loops and leads to a reorganization of the otherwise ill-behaved thermal perturbation theory through order $α_s^{3/2}$. Some details of this reorganization are discussed and the differences to simpler quasiparticle models highlighted. A comparison with available lattice data shows remarkable agreement down to temperatures of $\sim 2.5 T_c$.

description: This thesis’ original contribution is a novel algorithm which integrates a data-efficient function approximator with reinforcement learning in continuous state spaces. The complete research includes the development of a scalable online and incremental algorithm capable of learning from a single pass through data. This algorithm, called Fast Incremental Gaussian Mixture Network (FIGMN), was employed as a sample-efficient function approximator for the state space of continuous reinforcement learning tasks, which, combined with linear Q-learning, results in competitive performance. Then, this same function approximator was employed to model the joint state and Q-values space, all in a single FIGMN, resulting in a concise and data-efficient algorithm, i.e., a reinforcement learning algorithm that learns from very few interactions with the environment. A single episode is enough to learn the investigated tasks in most trials. Results are analysed in order to explain the properties of the obtained algorithm, and it is observed that the use of the FIGMN function approximator brings some important advantages to reinforcement learning in relation to conventional neural networks.

description: Production environments are becoming more complex and dynamics. This is influenced by external factors related with products’ characteristics and costumers’ requirements and internal factors related with processing times variability, machine failures, setup times, between others. To face this increasing complexity and dynamics, it is crucial to have effective production control methods, considering Interoperability Enablers for Cyber-Physical Systems. However, production control methods most in used today, are focused on centralised decision-making and planning, and considered inadequate to deal with the increasing dynamics of these systems. Autonomous Production Control (APC) may be an adequate alternative to face this complexity, allowing flexible and rapid reaction to possible disturbances that may occur in the production system. However, as APC is the relatively new concept, there are no existing surveys. Therefore, we review and discuss the literature on APC methods to bring more attention to this promising topic of research, highlighting future research directions.
Bifurcation for Dynamical Systems of Planet-Belt Interaction

description: The dynamical systems of planet-belt interaction are studied by the fixed-point analysis and the bifurcation of solutions on the parameter space is discussed. For most cases, our analytical and numerical results show that the locations of fixed points are determined by the parameters and these fixed points are either structurally stable or unstable. In addition to that, there are two special fixed points: the one on the inner edge of the belt is asymptotically stable and the one on the outer edge of the belt is unstable. This is consistent with the observational picture of Asteroid Belt between the Mars and Jupiter: the Mars is moving stablely close to the inner edge but the Jupiter is quite far from the outer edge.

Excitations on wedge states and on the sliver

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study ghost number one excitations on the sliver to investigate the solution of string field actions around the tachyon vacuum. The generalized gluing and resmoothing theorem is used to develop a method for evaluating the effective action for excitations on both the wedge states and the sliver state. We analyze the discrete symmetries of the resulting effective action for excitations on the sliver. The gauge unfixed effective action till level two excitations on the sliver is evaluated. This is done for the case with the BRST operator $c_0$ and $c_0 + (c_2 + c_{-2})/2$ with excitations purely in the ghost sector. We find that the values of the effective potential at the local maximum lie close by for the zeroth and the second level of approximation. This indicates that level truncation in string field theory around the tachyon vacuum using excitations on the sliver converges for both choices of the BRST operator. It also provides evidence for the conjectured string field theory actions around the tachyon vacuum.

description: Using density-functional theory calculations and experimental investigations on structural, magnetic and dielectric properties, we have elucidated a unique tetragonal ground state for MnTi2O4, a Ti^{3+} (3d^1)-ion containing spinel-oxide. With lowering of temperature around 164 K, cubic MnTi2O4 undergoes a structural transition into a polar P4_1 tetragonal structure and at further lower temperatures, around 45 K, the system undergoes a paramagnetic to ferrimagnetic transition. Magnetic superexchange interactions involving Mn and Ti spins and minimization of strain energy associated with co-operative Jahn-Teller distortions plays a critical role in stabilization of the unique tetramer-orbital ordered ground state which further gives rise to lattice chirality through subtle Ti-Ti bond-length modulations.

There are two original spellings of this name in Rondani (1861e): Limnomya (page 11) and Lymnophila (page 168). Acting as First Reviser, we select Limnomya as the correct original spelling, which relegates Lymnophila (q. v.) to unavailable name status.

Oneset of isospectral potentials are obatined which can be termed 'Satellite potentials', in the sense that they are pf the same form as the original potential. In a particular case, the supersymmetric partner potential has the same spectrum, including the zero energy ground state, a fact which cannot occur in conventional supersymmetric quantum mechanics with real potential. An explicit example of a non-trivial set of isospectral potential is also obtained.

An artificial meteors database as a test for the presence of weak showers

description: We have constructed an artificial meteor database resembling in all details the real sample collected by the observers of the Comets and Meteors Workshop in the years 1996-1999. The artificial database includes the sporadic meteors and also events from the following showers: Perseids, Aquarid complex, Alpha Capricornids, July Pegasids and Sagittarids. This database was searched for the presence of the radiants of two weak showers: Alpha Cygnids and Delphinids. The lack of these radiants in the artificial database and their existence in the real observations suggests that Alpha Cygnids and Delphinids are the real showers and their radiants could not be formed as an effect of intersections of back prolongated paths of meteors belonging to other showers.

description: We use our former results on pi+pi- S-wave obtained in a nearly assumption-free way from the 17.2 GeV/c data to predict the pi0pi0 S--wave. The predictions are compared with the recent results of the E852 experiment at 18.3 GeV/c. A good agreement is found for only one (the "down-flat") solution while the second one (the "up-flat") is excluded by the pi0pi0 data. Thus the long-standing "up-down" ambiguity has been finally resolved in favour of the S-wave intensity which stays large and nearly constant up to the KK-bar threshold. A joint analysis of both sets of data leads to a reduction of errors for this solution.

Discounting as a double-edged sword: the values of both future goods and present economic growth decrease with the discount rate

description: How to compromise between economic growth and sustainable development is a major question. Particularly, climate policy affects capital and production levels (GDP), but it also affects the long-term economic growth, or the development of Total Factor Productivity (TFP) (e.g. technological developments), which enables more effective future production using a given capital. A slowdown in TFP development rate may result from either restrictions on production or climate damages. Such a slowdown results in a long-lasting decrease in GDP that persists long after the restrictions are no longer implied and/or long after the environment recovers from the damages. Therefore, effective climate policy entails analysis that incorporates present and future changes in both capital and TFP. Here, we derive an analytic formula for the economic values of TFP development. The values derived from the formula are consistent with those derived in detailed Integrated Assessment Models. The advantage of the formula is that it reveals the role of some key parameters in determining these values. Specifically, we show that higher discount rates imply lower values to TFP development. Therefore, considering higher discount rates is a double-edged sword, implying that future environmental damages are less costly but also that present economic growth is less valuable.

description: The surface of three-dimensional materials provides an ideal and versatile platform to explore quantum-confined physics. Here, we systematically investigate the electronic structure of Na-intercalated CrTe2, a van der Waals antiferromagnet, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and ab-initio calculations. The measured band structure deviates from the calculation of bulk NaCrTe2 but agrees with that of ferromagnetic monolayer CrTe2. Consistently, we observe an unexpected exchange splitting of the band dispersions, persisting well above the Néel temperature of bulk NaCrTe2. We argue that NaCrTe2 features a quantum-confined 2D ferromagnetic state in the topmost surface layer due to strong ferromagnetic correlation in the CrTe2 layer. Moreover, the exchange splitting and the critical temperature can be controlled by surface doping of alkali-metal atoms, suggesting a feasible tunability of the surface ferromagnetism. Our work not only presents a simple platform to explore tunable 2D ferromagnetism but also provides important insights into the quantum-confined low-dimensional magnetic states.
Improved Similarity Search for Large Data in Machine Learning and Robotics

description: This thesis presents techniques for accelerating similarity search methods on large datasets. Similarity search has applications in clustering, image segmentation, classification, robotic control and many other areas of machine learning and data analysis. While traditionally database and data analysis oriented applications of similarity search have been search throughput oriented, in the areas of online classification and robotic control it is also important to consider total memory usage, scalability, and sometimes construction costs for the search structures.

This thesis presents a locality-sensitive hash (LSH) code generation method which has a lower computational and technical cost than baseline methods, while maintaining performance across a range of datasets. This method has an exceptionally fast search structure
construction time, which makes it suitable to accelerate even a small number of queries without a prior search structure.

A simplified boosting framework for locality-sensitive hash collections is also presented. Applying this framework speeds up existing LSH boosting algorithms without loss of performance. A simplified boosting algorithm is given which improves performance over
a state-of-the-art method while also being more efficient.

description: We compute nuclear matrix elements of neutrinoless double-beta decay mediated by light Majorana-neutrino exchange in the A = 6 system. The goal is to benchmark two many-body approaches, the No-Core Shell Model and the Multi-Reference In-Medium Similarity Renormalization Group. We use the SRG-evolved chiral N3LO-EM500 potential for the nuclear interaction, and make the approximation that isospin is conserved. We compare the results of the two approaches as a function of the cutoff on the many-body basis space. Although differences are seen in the predicted nuclear radii, the ground-state energies and neutrinoless double-beta decay matrix elements produced by the two approaches show significant agreement. We discuss the implications for calculations in heavier nuclei.

description: We have used available intermediate degree p-mode frequencies for the solar cycle 23 to check the validity of previously derived empirical relations for frequency shifts (Jain et al.: 2000, Solar Phys., 192, 487). We find that the calculated and observed frequency shifts during the rising phase of the cycle 23 are in good agreement. The observed frequency shift from minimum to maximum of this cycle as calculated from MDI frequency data sets is 251 $\pm$ 7 nHz and from GONG data is 238 $\pm$ 11 nHz. These values are in close agreement with the empirically predicted value of 271 $\pm$ 22 nHz.

description: In the standard single-site travel cost model, it is assumed that time spent on-site is exogenous. This assumption results in a willingness to pay (WTP) for time on-site of zero, which may be less realistic for many urban parks that are frequently visited by local residents. We develop a single-site travel cost model where a visitor simultaneously chooses the number of visits and how much time to spend on-site. In this model, the WTP estimate includes the price of the trip and the price of time spent on-site. Next, we develop a two-part hurdle model with non-zero correlation between the number of trips and time spent on-site. We use data gathered in an urban park in Iceland to estimate the model. The estimated WTP values are more than twice as high as the estimates of the standard single-site model.

description: It is vital for mobile robots to achieve safe autonomous steering in various changing environments. In this paper, a novel end-to-end network architecture is proposed for mobile robots to learn steering autonomously through deep reinforcement learning. Specifically, two sets of feature representations are firstly extracted from the depth inputs through two different input streams. The acquired features are then merged together to derive both linear and angular actions simultaneously. Moreover, a new action selection strategy is also introduced to achieve motion filtering by taking the consistency in angular velocity into account. Besides, in addition to the extrinsic rewards, the intrinsic bonuses are also adopted during training to improve the exploration capability. Furthermore, it is worth noting the proposed model is readily transferable from the simple virtual training environment to much more complicated real-world scenarios so that no further fine-tuning is required for real deployment. Compared to the existing methods, the proposed method demonstrates significant superiority in terms of average reward, convergence speed, success rate, and generalization capability. In addition, it exhibits outstanding performance in various cluttered real-world environments containing both static and dynamic obstacles.

description: Religion is one of the most prominent social institutions in the world and is profoundly entangled with day to day activities of the majority of the population. However, the effect of religion on socio-economic and environmental dimensions of development is not yet well explored in literature. Thus, this study aims to investigate the influence of multiple indicators of religion on pro-environmental behaviour and attitudes, and whether its effect varies across different income categories of countries. To this end, we use the World Value Survey data from up to 212,995 respondents across 91 countries collected from 1989 to 2014. The results of the study show that religion induces pro-environmental behaviour. Religion promotes individuals' willingness to contribute money and dampens individuals' protest against contributing for environmental protection. Similarly, religion has a positive effect on ecological donation and participation in the environmental demonstration. Furthermore, the results of this study indicate that the effects of some of the religious indicators on stated willingness to contribute for environmental protection are more pronounced in low-income countries than countries in high-income categories. These results highlight the importance of religion on environmental protection and suggest that integrating religion into environmental policies and programs may yield better environmental outcomes.

 ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Lomachantha parra Rondani, 1859.
 TYPE SPECIES: Lomachantha parra Rondani, 1859, by monotypy.
 CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 164)].
FAMILY: TACHINIDAE.
 REMARKS: Verrall in Scudder (1882: 193) listed the spelling Lomatacantha and this was cited as an unjustified emendation by Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 164), but criteria for making this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in Scudder (1882). Lomatacantha Verrall, 1882 is thus an unavailable name, new status.

 [Lonchea] Rondani, 1856: 213 [1875a: 246].
 CURRENT STATUS: Incorrect subsequent spelling of Lonchaea Fallén, 1820.
FAMILY: LONCHAEIDAE.
 REMARKS: The earliest mention of Lonchaea Fallén, 1820 using the spelling “ Lonchea ” that we have found in this study is in Eversmann (1834: 430), as an incorrect subsequent spelling. In Rondani (1856) this is either an incorrect subsequent spelling or unjustified emendation (by virtue of similar spelling changes in two or more names from “ae” to “e” in the same work). We thus follow ICZN Code Article 33.5 in treating this spelling in Rondani (1856) as an incorrect subsequent spelling.

description: Ion track formation, amorphisation, and the formation of porosity in crystalline GaSb induced by 185 MeV $^{197}$Au swift heavy ion irradiation is investigated as a function of fluence and irradiation angle relative to the surface normal. RBS/C and SAXS reveal an ion track radius between 3 nm and 5 nm. The observed pore morphology and saturation swelling of GaSb films shows a strong irradiation angle dependence. Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy show that the ion tracks act as a source of strain in the material leading to macroscopic plastic flow at high fluences and off normal irradiation. The results are consistent with the ion hammering model for glasses. Furthermore, wide angle X-ray scattering reveals the formation of nano crystallites inside otherwise amorphous GaSb after the onset of porosity.

description: Avid birdwatchers, or ‘twitchers’, expend a considerable amount of money and time pursuing viewing experiences of rare or vagrant species. By vagrant species, we mean a species found outside its normal range/distribution. To enhance our understanding of this form of behaviour, we present results from a U.K. survey of twitchers. First, we examine the relationship between cost and rarity based on actual viewing experiences. Our statistical results reveal that the relationship between cost and rarity is positive and very inelastic. Second, we present results from a hypothetical Best-Worst Scaling exercise examining aspects of species rarity. We find that rarity is a more nuanced construct than simply the frequency with which a vagrant species has appeared. Our results provide insights into the meaning of rarity, as well as the economic value attach to it and why.

description: The next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the Standard Model process of single top production, $bg \to t W^-$, for the CERN Large Hadron Collider with $\sqrt{s}=14$ TeV have been calculated. For renormalization and factorization scales $μ=μ_0$ ($μ_0=m_t+m_W$), the NLO hadronic cross section is $\sim 37 $ pb, while $\sim 25 $ pb for tree level. The NLO QCD corrections can enhance the cross section by a factor from 1.33 to 1.66 for $\frac{μ_0}{2} < μ< 2 μ_0$.

description: Many systems for autonomous vehicles' navigation rely on lane detection. Traditional algorithms usually estimate only the position of the lanes on the road, but an autonomous control system may also need to know if a lane marking can be crossed or not, and what portion of space inside the lane is free from obstacles, to make safer control decisions. On the other hand, free space detection algorithms only detect navigable areas, without information about lanes. State-of-the-art algorithms use CNNs for both tasks, with significant consumption of computing resources. We propose a novel approach that estimates the free space inside each lane, with a single CNN. Additionally, adding only a small requirement concerning GPU RAM, we infer the road type, that will be useful for path planning. To achieve this result, we train a multi-task CNN. Then, we further elaborate the output of the network, to extract polygons that can be effectively used in navigation control. Finally, we provide a computationally efficient implementation, based on ROS, that can be executed in real time. Our code and trained models are available online.

description: When recording the movement of individual animals, cells or molecules one will often observe changes in their diffusive behaviour at certain points in time along their trajectory. In order to capture the different diffusive modes assembled in such heterogeneous trajectories it becomes necessary to segment them by determining these change-points. Such a change-point detection can be challenging for conventional statistical methods, especially when the changes are subtle. We here apply Bayesian Deep Learning to obtain point-wise estimates of not only the anomalous diffusion exponent but also the uncertainties in these predictions from a single anomalous diffusion trajectory generated according to four theoretical models of anomalous diffusion. We show that we are able to achieve an accuracy similar to single-mode (without change-points) predictions as well as a well calibrated uncertainty predictions of this accuracy. Additionally, we find that the predicted uncertainties feature interesting behaviour at the change-points leading us to examine the capabilities of these predictions for change-point detection. While the series of predicted uncertainties on their own are not sufficient to improve change-point detection, they do lead to a performance boost when applied in combination with the predicted anomalous diffusion exponents.
