description: In a model with both issues of sovereign debtor moral hazard and creditor coordination under incomplete information, we show that the resulting conáict between ex ante and interim e¢ ciency limits the welfare impact of strengthening CACs. Conditional on default, we show that an interim e¢ cient CAC threshold exists and improving creditor coordination results in welfare gains. However, when ex ante e¢ - ciency requires the sovereign debtor to choose actions that reduce the probability of default, improved creditor coordination reduces ex ante e¢ ciency and the interim effcient CAC threshold is higher than the ex ante efficient CAC threshold.

description: In this paper, we take an analytical approach to examine possible adverse effects of the use of inflation targeting as a disinflation regime. The idea is that a strict interpretation of an inflation target may preserve inflationary distortions after price stability is attained. We show that such a policy not only creates a slump in output but may increase macroeconomic volatility substantially in a model in which wages are subject to a Taylor staggering structure.

description: My paternal grandma was Catherine Daniell who had seven sons. Her husband John worked in Fry's Chocolate factory. He had a free weekly allowance of chocolate from which we benefited as children. Her eldest two sons (not sure of names) were conscientious objectors during the First World War. Because of this they were put in prison. Catherine was sometimes seen crying on her way to the prison as she took food for them. Another son Edward (Ted) was in the Cavalry, caring for horses. He kept a hoof from each horse that died in order to account for them. The other sons were Arthur, Jack, Cyril, Leonard, Wilfred (my father born 1908) and one other, Harold. All had jobs. A daughter died at the age of two, which was a sad regret. They lived in the tall terrace along Bath Road, Bristol. All seven sons survived the First World War and went on to be conscientious objectors in the Second World War.

description: We show the existence of an infinite set of non-local classically conserved charges on the Green-Schwarz closed superstring in a pp-wave background. We find that these charges agree with the Penrose limit of non-local classically conserved charges recently found for the $AdS_5 \times S^5$ Green-Schwarz superstring. The charges constructed in this paper could help to understand the role played by these on the full $AdS_5 \times S^5$ background.

description: We solve the stochastic equations for a cluster of parallel bonds with shared constant loading, rebinding and the completely dissociated state as an absorbing boundary. In the small force regime, cluster lifetime grows only logarithmically with bond number for weak rebinding, but exponentially for strong rebinding. Therefore rebinding is essential to ensure physiological lifetimes. The number of bonds decays exponentially with time for most cases, but in the intermediate force regime, a small increase in loading can lead to much faster decay. This effect might be used by cell-matrix adhesions to induce signaling events through cytoskeletal loading.

description: This paper uses panel data on pensioners’ subjective evaluations of their financial positions to construct equivalence scales for pensioners. A pensioner couple is estimated to require an income 44% higher than a comparable single pensioner to reach the same standard of living. This is significantly less than the equivalence scale value implied by the ratio of state pension rates, the McClements equivalence scale value and the scale value derived from Engel curve estimation for food expenditure using the same data source. The estimated equivalence scale value is robust to variations in the definition of the pensioner sample, the measurement of income and the econometric model used.

description: Alfred was the contributor's grandfather. He was one of three brothers who went to war; he was one of two who survived.

Alfred was born 26/02/1894 and lived at Tendring House in Westonzoyland, Somerset. He was the son of Alfred (a bricklayer) and Eliza Stacey. Alfred followed his father's and grandfather's trade and became a bricklayer. In later life he was a Master Builder and during the Second World War was in the Civil Defence Service.

Alfred was a Private in the West Somerset Yeomanry, regiment number 855 (where he was made up to a L/Cpl). He also served as a Private in the Somerset Light Infantry, regiment number 295116. He served in the Balkans. He was awarded the Victory Medal along with his two other medals. His Victory Medal has since been lost.

The family still have a silk wall hanging of the West Somerset Yeomanry with a copy of his cap badge embroidered in silk along with the names of the places Alfred served during the war i.e. Gallipoli 1915 & Egypt 1916. Also amongst Alfred's possessions was an empty hand grenade which was found in his shed along with buttons and badges.

These were all passed down to Pete (the contributor) via his father. The Stacey family still live locally. Alfred and Charles erected a war memorial to the locals who served in the 1914-1918 war in the garden of a house that they built called 'The Nook'.

Alfred died in 1967 aged 72.
Rien Ne Va Plus - The 2007/2008 Credit Crunch And What Gambling Bankers Had to Do With It
Creators: name: Hofmann, Anett
name: Hofmann, Anett
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2008
Subjects: Financial Economics

description: The paper argues that the incidence of moral hazard played a significant role in the 2007/2008 credit crunch. In particular, bank traders subjected to asymmetric compensation structures have an incentive to take excessive risks even when the bank's shareholders would prefer prudent investment. Traders' incentives are shown to be unaffected by capital regulations, with the associated financial burden falling upon the taxpayer through deposit insurance or government bail-outs. Selected case studies further indicate that the phenomenon of “gambling traders” was widespread during the credit crunch, when high bonuses tempted bank employees to invest in risky subprime-backed securities. The intransparency of structured products and the inaccuracy of credit ratings contributed to the employees' ability to conceal the underlying risk from the banks' shareholders. The analysis points to an urgent need to reform compensation practices in the financial sector.

Subjects: Financial Economics

description: Many firms have more than one blockholder, but finance theory suggests that one blockholder should be sufficient to bestow all benefits on a firm that arise from concentrated ownership. This paper identifies a reason why more blockholders may arise endogenously. We consider a setting where multiple shareholders have endogenous conflicts of interest depending on the size of their stake. Such conflicts arise because larger shareholders tend to be less well diversified and would therefore prefer the firm to pursue more conservative investment policies. When the investment policy is determined by a shareholder vote, a single blockholder may be able to choose an investment policy that is far away from the dispersed shareholders’ preferred policy. Anticipating this outcome reduces the price at which shares trade. A second blockholder (or more) can mitigate the conflict by shifting the voting outcome more towards the dispersed shareholders’ preferred investment policy and this raises the share price. The paper derives conditions under which there are blockholder equilibria.The model shows how different ownership structures affect firm value and the degree of underpricing in an IPO.

description: It has been known for almost $40$ years that general planar quadratic polynomial systems can have four limit cycles. Recently, four limit cycles were also found in near-integrable quadratic polynomial systems. To help more people to understand limit cycles theory, the visualization of such four numerically simulated limit cycles in quadratic systems has attracted researchers' attention. However, for near integral systems, such visualization becomes much more difficult due to limitation on choosing parameter values. In this paper, we start from the simulation of the well-known quadratic systems constructed around the end of 1979, then reconsider the simulation of a recently published quadratic system which exhibits four big size limit cycles, and finally provide a concrete near-integral quadratic polynomial system to show four normal size limit cycles.

description: Fe/MgB2 tapes have been prepared starting with pre-reacted binary MgB2 powders. As shown by resistive and inductive measurements, the reduction of particle size to a few microns by ball milling has little influence on Bc2, while the superconducting properties of the individual MgB2 grains are essentially unchanged. Reducing the particle size causes an enhancement of Birr from 14 to 16 T, while Jc has considerably increased at high fields, its slope Jc(B) being reduced. At 4.2K, values of 5.3*10^4 and 1.2*10^3 A/cm^2 were measured at 3.5 and 10 T, respectively, suggesting a dominant role of the conditions at the grain interfaces. A systematic variation of these conditions at the interfaces is undertaken in order to determine the limit of transport properties for Fe/MgB2 tapes. The addition of 5% Mg to MgB2 powder was found to affect neither Jc nor Bc2. For the tapes with the highest Jc values, very high exponential n factors were measured: n = 148, 89 and 17 at 3.5, 5 and 10T, respectively and measurements of critical current versus applied strain have been performed. The mechanism leading to high transport critical current densities of filamentary Fe/MgB2 tapes based on MgB2 particles is discussed.

During the First World War he was called up and recruited as a soldier (Private) to fight in France. His wife, my grandmother (Gertrude) Kate (nee Weaver) did his job while he was away, as well as running the home and family of four children. Sidney, then Gertrude, then Ernest then Kathleen Maud (my mother). Kathleen was 3 years old at the outbreak of war in 1914 and probably missed her mother when she needed her most. A cleaner, Mrs Cornish, looked after her. Grandpa smoked a pipe and had a moustache. He hated the terrible conditions in the trenches and when he was shot in the foot he was only too pleased to come home! They then had another daughter, Olive. The name symbolised "Peace" (i.e., the olive branch of peace). They are buried at Arnos Vale Cemetery in Sunshine Corner.

description: We present a simple modification of the Altarelli-Feruglio $A_4$ flavor symmetry model using a minimal number of parameters congruous with the symmetries of the original theory. The resulting model is consistent with all presently known data on neutrino masses and mixings. Furthermore, it makes testable tight predictions for future experiments aimed at improving the measurements of $\sin^2θ_{12}$, $\sin^2θ_{13}$, $δ_{\rm CP}$ and the neutrinoless double-beta decay parameter $|m_{ee}|$. Our model exploits the unique possibility of multiple allowed, yet qualitatively different, contractions of fields charged under the $A_4$ discrete symmetry.

description: Using the same method as that used in $e^+e^-$ annihilation and lepton-nucleon deep-inelastic scattering, we calculate the spin alignment of vector mesons with high transverse momenta in high energy $pp$ collisions with one longitudinally polarized beam. We present the results obtained at RHIC energies. We also study the spin alignment of such vector mesons in the case of a transversely polarized proton beam and present its relation to the transversity distribution in the nucleon. Numerical results obtained using simple models for the transversity distributions are also given. These results show that there exist significant spin alignment in both cases, and they can be measured in experiments such as those at RHIC.

Deriving a Usage-Independent Software Quality Metric

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Software Engineering (cs.SE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Context:The extent of post-release use of software affects the number of faults, thus biasing quality metrics and adversely affecting associated decisions. The proprietary nature of usage data limited deeper exploration of this subject in the past. Objective: To determine how software faults and software use are related and how an accurate quality measure can be designed. Method: New users, usage intensity, usage frequency, exceptions, and release date and duration measured for complex proprietary mobile applications for Android and iOS. Utilized Bayesian Network and Random Forest models to explain the interrelationships and to derive the usage independent release quality measure. Investigated the interrelationship among various code complexity measures, usage (downloads), and number of issues for 520 NPM packages and derived a usage-independent quality measure from these analyses, applied it on 4430 popular NPM packages to construct timelines for comparing the perceived quality (issues) and our derived measure of quality for these packages.Results: We found the number of new users to be the primary factor determining the number of exceptions, and found no direct link between the intensity and frequency of software usage and software faults. Release quality expressed as crashes per user was independent of other usage-related predictors, thus serving as a usage independent measure of software quality. Usage also affected quality in NPM, where downloads were strongly associated with numbers of issues, even after taking the other code complexity measures into consideration. Conclusions: We expect our result and our proposed quality measure will help gauge release quality of a software more accurately and inspire further research in this area.
The impact of unresolved binaries on searches for white dwarfs in open clusters
Creators: name: Williams, Kurtis A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Many open clusters have a deficit of observed white dwarfs (WDs) compared with predictions of the number of stars to have evolved into WDs. We evaluate the number of WDs produced in open clusters and the number of those WDS detectable using photometric selection techniques. This calculation includes the effects of varying the initial-mass function (IMF), the maximum progenitor masses of WDs, and the binary fraction. Differences between the calculated number of observable WDs and the actual number of WDs observed in a specific cluster then indicate the true deficit of WDs that must be explained through effects such as dynamical evolution of the cluster or close binary evolution. Observations of WDs in three open clusters, the Hyades, Pleiades, and Praesepe, are compared to the calculated observable populations in those clusters. The results suggest that a large portion of the white dwarf deficit may be explained by the presence of WDs in unresolved binary systems. However, the calculated WD populations still over-predict the number of observable WDs in each cluster. While these calculations cannot determine the cause of this residual white dwarf deficit, potential explanations include a steep high-mass IMF, dynamical evolution of the cluster, or an increased likelihood of equal-mass components in a binary system. Observations of complete WD samples in open clusters covering a range of ages and mass can help to distinguish between these possibilities.

description: Computational experiments were performed with a primal-dual algorithm, using surrogate objective functions to solve the linear programming problem. Three different rules for switching between the primal and the dual problem and seven different ways to construct the surrogate objective function were used to solve 28 LP problems. For the moment it seems that the sum of the infeasibilities is the best indicator for attacking either the primal or the dual problem and that the sum of the violated constraints is the best surrogate objective function, judging by the number of iterations. . On the other.hand this version is shown to be not necessarily finite, while the other switching rules yield finite procedures. However, in Oneral the primal-dual surrogate simplex method clearly outperforms the twophase simplex method.
Suppression of the vortex glass transition due to correlated defects with a persistent direction perpendicular to an applied magnetic field

description: It is found on the basis of the lowest Landau level approach for the Ginzburg-Landau model that, in bulk type II superconductors with strong line disorder directed {\it perpendicularly} to an applied field, the continuous vortex-glass transition is depressed to the low $T$ limit in the limit of weak {\it point} disorder. An anomalous resistive broadening in twin-free YBCO with columnar defects in a field parallel to the layers is discussed based on this theoretical finding. Other phenomena which, we argue, arise indirectly from this mechanism in type II superconductors including correlated defects are also discussed.

description: We extend non-Hermitian topological quantum walks on a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) lattice [M. S. Rudner and L. Levitov, Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 065703 (2009)] to the case of non-Markovian evolution. This non-Markovian model is established by coupling each unit cell in the SSH lattice to a reservoir formed by a quasi-continuum of levels. We find a topological transition in this model even in the case of non-Markovian evolution, where the walker may visit the reservoir and return to the SSH lattice at a later time. The existence of a topological transition does, however, depend on the low-frequency properties of the reservoir, characterized by a spectral density $J(ε)\propto |ε|^α$. In particular, we find a robust topological transition for a sub-Ohmic ($α<1$) and Ohmic ($α=1$) reservoir, but no topological transition for a super-Ohmic ($α>1$) reservoir. This behavior is directly related to the well-known localization transition for the spin-boson model. We confirm the presence of non-Markovian dynamics by explicitly evaluating a measure of Markovianity for this model.

description: Dynamical zeta functions provide a powerful method to analyze low dimensional dynamical systems when the underlying symbolic dynamics is under control. On the other hand even simple one dimensional maps can show an intricate structure of the grammar rules that may lead to a non smooth dependence of global observable on parameters changes. A paradigmatic example is the fractal diffusion coefficient arising in a simple piecewise linear one dimensional map of the real line. Using the Baladi-Ruelle generalization of the Milnor-Thurnston kneading determinant we provide the exact dynamical zeta function for such a map and compute the diffusion coefficient from its smallest zero.

description: This note contains discussions on the entanglement entropy and mutual information of a strongly coupled field theory with a critical point which has a holographic dual. We investigate analytically, in the specific regimes of parameters, how these non-local operators behave near the critical point. Interestingly, we observe that although the mutual information is constant at the critical point, its slope shows a power-law divergence in the vicinity of the critical point. We show that the leading behavior of mutual information at and near the critical point could yield a set of critical exponents if we regard it as an order parameter. Our result for this set of static critical exponents is (1/2,1/2,1/2,2) which is identical to the one calculated via the thermodynamic quantities. Hence it suggests that beside the numerous merits of mutual information, this quantity also captures the critical behavior of the underlying field theory and it could be used as a proper measure to probe the phase structure associated with the strongly coupled systems.

description: The generalized inverse concept is applied to a dynamic model for the Netherlands that incorporates both input-output and macroeconomic relationships. The model is over-determined in that there are 34 equations for its 33 endogenous economic variables. The implications for policymaking of either retaining or dropping a constraint on balance of payments are studied through the generalized inverse. When that constraint is excluded, the model reduces to the more familiar fully-determined situation, having 33 equations in as many variables. Numerical results relating to shifts in indirect taxes are given. It is seen that the response of the over-determined model, the 34 equation case, is radically different from that of the fullydetermined case. In fact, a reversal of charges in, for example, unemployment, wage rate, and in prices of exports and private consumption is observed. The conclusion is then that familiar ideas about policymaking which are based on fully-determined models, may have to be revised thoroughly when an over-determined model is more appropriate.

description: Recently developed quasi-Newton algorithms for unconstrained optimization focus on the solution of badly scaled problems. A uniform numerical comparison of these algorithms is performed to get insight in their relative behaviour and to verify emperically their ability to solve badly scaled problems. A suitable battery of testproblems is suggested. The design of the experiments and their results are preceded by a short description of the theoretical backgrounds as they were developed by Oren and Luenberger. Recent alternatives of Oren and Spedicato and of Shanno and Phua are mentioned The classical DFP- and BFGS-algorithms are considered as well.

description: This paper starts with some reflections on the notion of the representative consumer. These reflections result in the conclusion that the "average consumer" is - in general - not a representative consumer in the sense that he may be considered as a (fictitious) consumer acting in the same way as the individual consumers are supposed to do, i.e. maximizing their utility subject to a budget constraint. Nevertheless, relations between per capita consumption on the one hand and income and prices on the other hand, may be such that, though being non-linear in income, they are "aggregation consistent". This is at the cost of more information on incomes. Here we used a time series of the coefficients of variation of the income distribution in the Netherlands, leading to a Quadratic Engel Curve (Q.E.C.) demand system.

description: Electrical conduction through a two-terminal molecular device is studied using non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) formalism. Such junction is made of a short linear wire which is connected to the metallic electrodes. Molecule itself is described with the help of Huckel (tight-binding) model with the electron interactions treated within extended Hubbard model (EHM), while the coupling to the electrodes is described with the help of a broad-band theory. Coulomb interactions within molecular wire are treated by means of the restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) approximation. In particular, the influence of short-range and long-range Coulomb interactions on electrical transport characteristics is discussed in detail.

description: My father Frank and his brother Tom both joined the Somerset Light Infantry and went to India and after that Palestine. Both brothers joined up in Taunton. Frank trained at Lockstone, above Cheddar Gorge, Somerset. Frank was wounded by a shot in the chest in Palestine and put in a stretcher on the side of a camel and taken back to his company, which took a day or so. This illustrates the transport of the wounded in World War One overseas. He was discharged and then sent back to the UK by boat.

Tom had been in the TA before World War One.

Frank was an ARP warden in World War 2.

description: We report an ab initio study on the spectroscopy of the open-shell diatomic molecule yttrium oxide, YO. The study considers the six lowest doublet states, $X\,{}^{2}Σ^{+}$, $A\,{}^{2}Π$, $C\,{}^{2}Π$, $A'\,{}^{2}Δ$, $B\,{}^{2}Σ^{+}$, $D\,{}^{2}Σ^{+}$ and a few higher-lying quartet states using high levels of electronic structure theory and accurate nuclear motion calculations. The coupled cluster singles, doubles, and perturbative triples, CCSD(T), and multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) methods are employed in conjunction with a relativistic pseudopotential on the yttrium atom and a series of correlation-consistent basis sets ranging in size from triple-$ζ$ to quintuple-$ζ$ quality. Core-valence correlation effects are taken into account and complete basis set limit extrapolation is performed for CCSD(T). Spin-orbit coupling is included through the use of both MRCI state-interaction with spin-orbit (SI-SO) approach and four-component relativistic equation-of-motion CCSD calculations. Using the ab initio data for bond lengths ranging from 1.0 to 2.5 A, we compute 6 potential energy, 12 spin-orbit, 8 electronic angular momentum, 6 electric dipole moment and 12 transition dipole moment (4 parallel and 8 perpendicular) curves which provide a complete description of the spectroscopy of the system of six lowest doublet states. The Duo nuclear motion program is used to solve the coupled nuclear motion Schrödinger equation for these six electronic states. The spectra of $^{89}$Y$^{16}$O simulated for different temperatures are compared with several available high resolution experimental studies; good agreement is found once minor adjustments are made to the electronic excitation energies.

description: The periodic driving of a quantum system can enable new topological phases without analogs in static systems. This provides a route towards preparing non-equilibrium quantum phases rooted into the non-equilibrium nature by periodic driving engineering. Motivated by the ongoing considerable interest in topological semimetals, we are interested in the novel topological phases in the periodically driven topological semimetals without a static counterpart. We propose to design non-equilibrium topological semimetals in the regime of weakly driving field where the spectrum width of shares the same magnitude with the driving frequency. We identify two novel types of non-equilibrium Weyl semimetals (i.e., Floquet and anomalous Floquet Weyl semimetals) that do not exhibit analogues in equilibrium. The proposed setup is shown to be experimentally feasible using the state-of-the-art techniques used to control ultracold atoms in optical lattices.

description: This tutorial and . expository paper considers linear dynamical systems k = Fx + Gu, y = Hx, or, x(t+1) = Fx(t) + Gu(t), y(t) = Hx(t); more precisely it is really concerned with families of such, i.e., roughly speaking, with systems like the above where now the matrices F,G,H depend on some extra parameters a. After discussing some motivation for studying families (delay systems, systems over rings, n-d systems, perturbed systems, identification, parameter uncertainty) we discuss the classifying of families (fine moduli spaces). This is followed by two straightforward applications: realization with parameters and the nonexistence of global continuous canonical forms. More applications, especially to feedback will be discussed in Chris Byrnes' talks at this conference and similar problems as in these talks for networks will be discussed by Tyrone Duncan. The classifying fine moduli space cannot readily be extended and the concluding sections are devoted to this observation and a few more related results.
Optimizing Noncontiguous Accesses in MPI-IO

description: The I/O access patterns of many parallel applications consist of accesses to a large number of small, noncontiguous pieces of data. If an application's I/O needs are met by making many small, distinct I/O requests, however, the I/O performance degrades drastically. To avoid this problem, MPI-IO allows users to access noncontiguous data with a single I/O function call, unlike in Unix I/O. In this paper, we explain how critical this feature of MPI-IO is for high performance and how it enables implementations to perform optimizations. We first provide a classification of the different ways of expressing an application's I/O needs in MPI-IO--we classify them into four levels, called level~0 through level~3. We demonstrate that, for applications with noncontiguous access patterns, the I/O performance improves dramatically if users write their applications to make level-3 requests (noncontiguous, collective) rather than level-0 requests (Unix style). We then describe how our MPI-IO implementation, ROMIO, delivers high performance for noncontiguous requests. We explain in detail the two key optimizations ROMIO performs: data sieving for noncontiguous requests from one process and collective I/O for noncontiguous requests from multiple processes. We describe how we have implemented these optimizations portably on multiple machines and file systems, controlled their memory requirements, and also achieved high performance. We demonstrate the performance and portability with performance results for three applications--an astrophysics-application template (DIST3D), the NAS BTIO benchmark, and an unstructured code (UNSTRUC)--on five different parallel machines: HP Exemplar, IBM SP, Intel Paragon, NEC SX-4, and SGI Origin2000.
