description: The splitting between the charge-longitudinal and spin-transverse responses is explained in a model whose inputs are the effective interactions in the particle-hole channels in the frame of the first order boson loop expansion. It is shown that the interplay between $ω$-meson exchange and box diagrams (two-meson exchange with simultaneous excitation of one or two nucleons to $Δ$'s) mainly rules the longitudinal response, while in the transverse one the direct $Δ$ excitations almost cancel the one-loop correction and the response is mainly governed by the $ρ$-meson rescattering inside the nucleus. It is also shown that a small variation in the nuclear densities may explain the observed discrepancies between different nuclei.

description: 4C +49.22 is a gamma-ray flat spectrum radio quasar with a bright and knotty jet. We investigate the properties of the core and large-scale knots by using their spectral energy distributions (SEDs). Analyzing its Fermi/LAT data in the past 8 years, a long-term steady gamma-ray emission component is found besides bright outbursts. For the core region, the gamma-ray emission together with the simultaneous emission in the low-energy bands at different epochs is explained with the single-zone leptonic model. The derived magnetization parameters and radiation efficiencies of the radio-core jet decrease as gamma-ray flux decays, likely indicating that a large part of the magnetic energy is converted to the kinetic energy of particles in pc-scale. For the large-scale knots, their radio-optical-X-ray SEDs can be reproduced with the leptonic model by considering the inverse Compton scattering of cosmic microwave background photons. The sum of the predicted gamma-ray fluxes of these knots is comparable to that observed with LAT at 10^{24} Hz of the steady gamma-ray component, indicating that the steady gamma-ray emission may be partially contributed by these large-scale knots. This may conceal the flux variations of the low-level gamma-ray emission from the radio-core. The derived bulk Lorentz factors of the knots decrease along the distance to the core, illustrating as deceleration of jet in large-scale. The powers of the core and knots are roughly in the same order, but the jet changes from highly magnetized at the core region into particle-dominated at the large-scale knots.

description: This paper considers the problem of forecasting under continuous and discrete structural breaks and proposes weighting observations to obtain optimal forecasts in the MSFE sense. We derive optimal weights for continuous and discrete break processes. Under continuous breaks, our approach recovers exponential smoothing weights. Under discrete breaks, we provide analytical expressions for the weights in models with a single regressor and asympotically for larger models. It is shown that in these cases the value of the optimal weight is the same across observations within a given regime and differs only across regimes. In practice, where information on structural breaks is uncertain a forecasting procedure based on robust weights is proposed. Monte Carlo experiments and an empirical application to the predictive power of the yield curve analyze the performance of our approach relative to other forecasting methods.

description: Primary Objective: We aimed to investigate the origin of EEG response of patients in coma and after moderate TBI to emotional stimulation, whether they distinguish emotional content or only react to the physical features of an audio signal. Research Design: We registered EEG during continuous pleasant and unpleasant non-verbal stimulation and in rest. A total of 69 subjects participated in our study: healthy adults, conscious patients after moderate TBI and patients in coma after severe TBI. We analysed the distances between the stimuli according to EEG data and applied correlation analysis to the distances, acoustic parameters of stimuli, subjects’ emotional assessment of the stimuli, GCS score and Doppler ultrasound data. Main Outcomes and Results: The EEG response to the stimulation in patients in coma mostly reflects the physical parameters of the stimuli, and correlated with Doppler ultrasound data. The EEG of healthy adults reflects their psychological assessment of the stimuli. Patients after moderate TBI differentiate unpleasant stimuli well and pleasant stimuli poorly, they mainly consider pitch to cope with this task like healthy adults do. Conclusions: The reactivity to the acoustic features of emotional stimulation in patients in coma should be investigated further as a marker of patients’ recovery.

description: The hypothesis of statistical production of J/psi mesons at hadronization is formulated and checked against experimental data. It explains in the natural way the observed scaling behavior of the J/psi to pion ratio at the CERN SPS energies. Using the multiplicities of J/psi and eta mesons the hadronization temperature T_H = 175 MeV is found, which agrees with the previous estimates of the temperature parameter based on the analysis of the hadron yield systematics.

description: Evidence of climate change is largely undisputed but moderating the impacts not only of climate change but also of resource depletion is a complex, multi-faceted problem. Technical solutions will have a large role to play but engineering behaviour change within households and firms is essential to harnessing the potential for energy efficient consumption, production and investment. To inform debates about behavior change, this paper explores some insights from behavioural economics including analyses of bounded rationality, cognitive bias / heuristics, temporal discounting, social influences, well-being and emotions.

Voting

description: No voters cast their votes based on perfect information, but better educated and richer voters are on average better informed than others. We develop a model where the voting mistakes resulting from low political knowledge reduce the weight of poor voters, and cause parties to choose political platforms that are better aligned with the preferences of rich voters. In US election survey data, we find that income is more important in affecting voting behavior for more informed voters than for less informed voters, as predicted by the model. Further, in a panel of US states we find that when there is a strong correlation between income and political information, Congress representatives vote more conservatively, which is also in line with our theory.

Merchant and Regulated Transmission: Theory, Evidence and Policy

Subjects: regulated transmission
market transmission

description: Economists acknowledge the problems of regulated transmission but take different views about the likely efficiency of merchant transmission. This paper examines the evidence on alleged market failure and regulatory failure as experienced in practice in Australia and Argentina. In these examples, merchant transmission (broadly defined to include private initiatives) has generally not exhibited the standard examples of market failure but regulated transmission generally has exhibited the standard examples of regulatory failure. Imperfect information – more specifically, in the form of lack of coordination – has often been a challenge whatever the approach. Policy should therefore seek to improve the regulatory framework and to remove barriers to merchant transmission and private initiatives. An important role for regulation is to facilitate coordination between potential providers and users of transmission lines.

Recently a joint CERN-LNGS scientific committee has reviewed several proposals both for the study of atmospheric neutrinos and for long (LBL) and short baseline (SBL) neutrino oscillation experiments. The committee has indicated the priority that the European high energy physics community should follows in the field of neutrino physics, namely a new massive, atmospheric neutrino detector and a nu_tau appearance campaign exploiting the new CERN-LNGS Neutrino Facility (NGS), freshly approved by CERN and INFN. The sensitivity and the discovery potential of the whole experimental program in the Super-Kamiokande allowed region are discussed.

description: We have carried out an extensive X-ray spectral analysis of a sample of galaxies exhibiting molecular outflows (MOX sample), to characterize the X-ray properties and investigate the effect of AGN on the dynamical properties of the molecular outflows. We find that the X-ray bolometric correction $(L_{2-10\rm keV}/L_{\rm AGN})$ of these sources ranges from $\sim10^{-4.5}$ to $10^{-0.5}$, with $\sim 70\%$ of the sources below $10^{-2}$, implying a weak X-ray emission relative to the AGN bolometric luminosity ($L_{\rm AGN}$). However, the upper limit on the $2-10\rm keV$ luminosity ($L_{\rm 2-10 keV, \,12μm}$) obtained from $12μ$m flux, following the correlation derived by Asmus et al., are $\sim 0.5-3$ orders of magnitude larger than the $L_{2-10\rm keV}$ values estimated using X-ray spectroscopy, implying a possibility that the MOX sources host normal AGN (not X-ray weak), and their X-ray spectra are extremely obscured. We find that both $L_{2-10\rm keV}$, and $L_{\rm AGN}$ correlates strongly with the molecular outflow velocity as well as the mass outflow rates ($\dot{M}_{\rm out}$), implying that the central AGN plays an important role in driving these massive outflows. However, we also find statistically significant positive correlations between the starburst emission and MO mass outflow rate, $L_{\rm Starburst}$ vs $\dot{M}_{\rm out}$, and $L_{0.6-2\rm keV}$ vs $\dot{M}_{\rm out}$, which implies that starbursts can generate and drive the molecular outflows. The correlations of MO velocity and $\dot{M}_{\rm out}$ with AGN luminosities are found to be stronger compared to those with the starburst luminosities. We conclude that both starbursts and AGN play crucial role in driving the large scale MO.

description: We study the $SU(N)$, level $1$ Wess-Zumino-Witten model, with affine primary fields as spinon fields of fundamental representation. By evaluating the action of the Yangian generators $Q_{0}^{a}, Q_{1}^{a}$ and the Hamiltonian $H_2$ on two spinon states we get a new connection between this conformal field theory and the Calogero-Sutherland model with $SU(N)$ spin. This connection clearly confirms the need for the $W_3$ generator in $H_2$ and an additional term in the $Q^{a}_{1}$. We also evaluate some energy spectra of $H_2$, by acting it on multi-spinon states.

Business Cycle Effects of Credit and Technology Shocks in a DSGE Model with Firm Defaults

description: This paper proposes a theoretical framework to analyze the impacts of credit and technology shocks on business cycle dynamics, where firms rely on banks and households for capital financing. Firms are identical ex ante but differ ex post due to different realizations of firm specific technology shocks, possibly leading to default by some firms. The paper advances a new modelling approach for the analysis of financial intermediation and firm defaults that takes account of the financial implications of such defaults for both households and banks. Results from a calibrated version of the model highlights the role of financial institutions in the transmission of credit and technology shocks to the real economy. A positive credit shock, defined as a rise in the loan to deposit ratio, increases output, consumption, hours and productivity, and reduces the spread between loan and deposit rates. The effects of the credit shock tend to be highly persistent even without price rigidities and habit persistence in consumption behaviour.
Hydrodynamic Limit for the SSEP with a Slow Membrane

description: In this paper we consider a symmetric simple exclusion process (SSEP) on the $d$-dimensional discrete torus $\mathbb{T}^d_N$ with a spatial non-homogeneity given by a slow membrane. The slow membrane is defined here as the boundary of a smooth simple connected region $Λ$ on the continuous $d$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^d$. In this setting, bonds crossing the membrane have jump rate $α/N^β$ and all other bonds have jump rate one, where $α>0$, $β\in[0,\infty]$, and $N\in \mathbb{N}$ is the scaling parameter. In the diffusive scaling we prove that the hydrodynamic limit presents a dynamical phase transition, that is, it depends on the regime of $β$. For $β\in[0,1)$, the hydrodynamic equation is given by the usual heat equation on the continuous torus, meaning that the slow membrane has no effect in the limit. For $β\in(1,\infty]$, the hydrodynamic equation is the heat equation with Neumann boundary conditions, meaning that the slow membrane $\partial Λ$ divides $\mathbb{T}^d$ into two isolated regions $Λ$ and $Λ^\complement$. And for the critical value $β=1$, the hydrodynamic equation is the heat equation with certain Robin boundary conditions related to the Fick's Law.

Cost Curves for Gas Supply Security: The Case of Bulgaria

description: We evaluate the cost-effectiveness of various policy options and infrastructure investment proposals to improve the security of gas supply in Bulgaria, one of the most gas insecure countries in the European Union. We do this by computing ‘security of supply cost curve’ for different gas supply disruption scenarios. The curves show the cumulative amount of security of supply on the horizontal axis and the unit cost of security on the vertical axis. Measures should be implemented by order or rising unit cost until the public authorities’ preferred level of security is achieved. Our results show that a costeffective gas supply security policy for Bulgaria would concentrate on two measures: (1) allowing reverse-flow transactions on the transit pipelines to Greece and Turkey to access the LNG terminals in these countries in case of disruption in Russian gas supplies and, (2) ensuring effective dual-fuel capability for Bulgaria’s heat generation plants. The infrastructure options actually considered by the Bulgarian authorities and gas industry (expanding the withdrawal rate of the Chiren underground gas storage and building a new gas interconnector pipeline with Greece) appear to be much more costly.
Classification consistency and accuracy indices for simple structure multidimensional item response theory model
Creators: name: Liu, Huan
Publisher: name: University of Iowa
Year: 2024

description: In many large-scale testing programs, examinees are frequently categorized into different performance levels. These classifications are then used to make high-stakes decisions about examinees in contexts such as in licensure, certification, and educational assessments. Numerous approaches to estimating the consistency and accuracy of this classification process have been developed under the CTT and UIRT frameworks. However, the multidimensional framework, particularly on the composite theta score metric, remains less explored.
description: This dissertation was designed to explore the estimation of classification consistency and accuracy indices for composite summed and theta scores within the SS-MIRT framework. To achieve this goal, five prevalent approaches from the UIRT framework have been extended to the SS-MIRT context, including the Lee, Rudner, Guo, Bayesian EAP, and Bayesian MCMC approaches. These adapted approaches were then applied to two real data sets under various conditions. Further, a simulation study was conducted to evaluate the performance of the first four approaches under diverse testing scenarios, considering factors such as dimensionality, test length, and cut score location.
description: The principal findings of this investigation include: (1) All five adapted approaches demonstrated commendable performance, with the estimation of classification indices exhibiting significant consistency in magnitude and pattern across different conditions; (2) Approaches using the MLE estimator generally showed higher ABIAS and RMSE, but lower SE compared to those employing the EAP estimator; (3) Approaches applied to the composite summed score metric typically resulted in higher ABIAS, SE, and RMSE than those for the composite theta score metric; (4) The D and M methods, assuming a multivariate standard normal distribution, yielded nearly identical outcomes, whereas the P method showed variations; (5) An increase in the correlation between dimensions and test length generally led to a decrease in ABIAS, SE, and RMSE.

description: Excerpt from the report: A step-by-step approach for designing efficient poultry-processing plant layouts is developed in this report. The plant is divided into its principal activity areas and each area is analyzed as to its relation to the overall operation and its interrelation with other areas, equipment arrangement, and space needs. The operations considered involve handling, processing, and ice-packing (receiving through shipping) broiler-class chickens, which are converted into ready-to-cook form at rates of 4,800 and 9,600 birds per hour. Layout designs for each area are illustrated, with emphasis on simplicity, efficiency, and completeness. The layouts are designed from the viewpoint of a plant management that is planning expansion or diversification without major changes in the plant's structural design, or stopping or slowing production.

description: Capsule: Voles are the main prey of the Ural Owl Strix uralensis in Europe, with larger prey and higher prey diversity being positively associated with owl breeding performance. Aims: To assess the breeding diet and its influence on the breeding performance of the Ural Owl across a north–south gradient of its European range using nest box monitoring data. Methods: Comparable monitoring of nest boxes in different biogeographical regions of Europe (Finland, Latvia, Slovenia) and diet analysis from nest samples to assess the taxonomic and trait influence of prey on owl breeding performance in different environments. Results: High plasticity in the Ural Owl hunting behaviour under different prey availability conditions resulted in significant differences between regions and years. Voles formed the highest proportion of the diet in all studied regions. Owl brood size was positively associated by higher proportions of voles and mice in the diet, and with increasing proportions of seasonally available larger prey and consequently prey diversity. Brood size was negatively associated with the proportion of non-mammalian and predominantly forest-living prey. Conclusions: The study highlighted the importance of comparative studies of raptor ecology across their geographical ranges in different environmental conditions to reveal undiscovered patterns, which may go undetected when conducting studies at the regional scale only.

Since convergence in position space could not be obtained with more common numerical techniques, this result helps to corroborate the conjecture that the use of a localized basis set within the context of light cone quantization can yield much better convergence. All of the computations presented here were performed on an IBM-compatible PC with an Intel 486DX2-66 microchip.

Three Pathways for Observed Resonant Chains

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: A question driving many studies is whether the thousands of exoplanets known today typically formed where we observe them or formed further out in the disk and migrated in. Early discoveries of giant exoplanets orbiting near their host stars and exoplanets in or near mean motion resonances were interpreted as evidence for migration and its crucial role in the beginnings of planetary systems. long-scale migration has been invoked to explain systems of planets in mean motion resonant chains consisting of three or more planets linked by integer period ratios. However, recent studies have reproduced specific resonant chains in systems via short-scale migration, and eccentricity damping has been shown to capture planets into resonant chains. We investigate whether the observed resonant chains in Kepler-80, Kepler-223, Kepler-60, and TRAPPIST-1 can be established through long-scale migration, short-scale migration, and/or only eccentricity damping by running suites of N-body simulations. We find that, for each system, all three mechanisms are able to reproduce the observed resonant chains. long-scale migration is not the only plausible explanation for resonant chains in these systems, and resonant chains are potentially compatible with in situ formation.

description: As detailed in this report, extensive changes took place in production, processing, and marketing in the chicken broiler industry during 1950-70. The industry has changed dramatically from being one of small, widely scattered chicken farms to one that is large, concentrated, and efficient. More than 95 percent of broilers produced are grown under contract and by integrated firms which vary in size of operation and complexity. About 84 percent of all production is concentrated in 10 States. Some of the other factors discussed that contributed to these changes are: costs, prices, processing, marketing, and demand.

description: Objectives: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used by athletes to treat injuries but are also reportedly misused as performance or recovery aids. This study aimed to investigate NSAID use, knowledge, and behavior regarding use and misuse of NSAIDs in Irish student-athletes. Methods: One hundred and forty-nine (21.2 ± 3.5 years) student-athletes completed an anonymous questionnaire online. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were utilized to examine whether the associated factors could predict NSAID misuse. Results: Ninety-four per cent of respondents reported using NSAIDs in the past, 63.8% used NSAIDs previously before or after competition and/or practice, and 13.9% took more than the recommended dosage and this was higher (22.9%) for over-the-counter NSAIDs. More than half were unsure of NSAID side effects. Misuse of NSAIDs was more common in respondents who had more favorable attitudes to the benefits of NSAIDs (odds ratio [OR] = 4.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.18–19.61), high reported stress (OR = 1.73, 95% CI = 0.58–1.73), or greater behavioral intention to use NSAIDs (OR = 1.89, 95% CI = 0.90–4.53). High perceived athletic identity also significantly predicted behavioral intention (p = 0.01). Conclusion: Education strategies to improve student-athletes’ knowledge of appropriate use and side effects of NSAIDs are recommended, particularly for those with high levels of stress and athletic identity.

description: The K^+ scattering on the lightest nuclei, d, 3He and 4He is studied in the framework of multiple scattering theory. Effects from MEC tied to the K^+N-->KNpi reaction are evaluated. We found that at momentum transfers Q^2<0.5 (GeV/c)^2 contributions from MEC are much smaller than kaon rescattering corrections. This makes the conventional multiple scattering picture a reliable tool to study these reactions in this kinematical domain and to extract the K^+n scattering amplitude from the K^+d data. At larger transferred momentum MEC can become more relevant.

No Country for Old Men: Aging Dictators and Economic Growth

description: This paper develops a model of the relationship between the age of a dictator and economic growth. In the model a dictator must spread the resources of the economy over his reign but faces mortality and political risk. The model shows that if the time horizon of the dictator decreases, either due to an increase of mortality risk or political risk, the economic growth rate decreases. The model predictions are supported by empirical evidence based on a three-way fixed effects model including country, year and dictator fixed effects for a sample of dictators from 116 countries. These results are robust to sample selection, the tenure of dictators, the definition of dictatorship, and a broad set of economic growth determinants.

description: Blau and Michaeli recently introduced a novel concept for inverse problems of signal processing, that is, the perception-distortion tradeoff. We introduce their tradeoff into the rate distortion theory of lossy source coding in information theory, and clarify the tradeoff among information rate, distortion and perception for general information sources.

Incumbents and Criminals in the Indian National Legislature

description: Utilizing data on criminal charges lodged against candidates to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Lok Sabha, India’s lower house of representatives, we study the conditions that resulted in approximately a quarter of members of parliament elected in 2004 and in 2009 facing or having previously faced criminal charges. Our results document that Indian political parties are more likely to select alleged criminal candidates when confronting greater electoral uncertainty and in parliamentary constituencies whose populations exhibit lower levels of literacy. We interpret the decisions of political parties to enlist known criminals as candidates as a function of the capacity of these candidates to intimidate voters. To substantiate this, we show that criminal candidates depress electoral turnout. In addition, our results suggest that India’s well-known incumbency disadvantage stems from the superior electoral performance of allegedly criminal candidates, who drive parliamentary incumbents from office. Our study raises questions for democratic theory, which claims that electoral competition improves accountability, and for the future of the Indian polity, which is experiencing a growing criminalization of the national political arena.
Diffusion of charm and beauty in the Glasma

description: Relativistic nuclear collisions offer a unique way to study strong interactions at very high energy. The collision process can be described within the gluon saturation framework as the interaction of two colored glasses, and because of this interaction strong longitudinal gluon fields, namely the Glasma, are produced immediately after the collision. Besides, heavy quarks are also produced in the very early stage and because of their large mass and small concentration, their motion does not affect the evolution of the Glasma, thus behaving as ideal probes of the Glasma itself. We study the evolution of the heavy quarks in the Glasma allegedly produced in high energy p-Pb collisions by solving consistently the equations of motion of the quarks in the evolving Glasma fields. We find that this motion can be understood in terms of diffusion in momentum space, similarly to the random motion of a heavy probe in a hot thermalized medium. We show how the diffusion of heavy probes affects the nuclear modification factor of D and B mesons in p-Pb collisions.

Willingness to Pay
Zero Inflated Ordered Probit Model

description: Consumers constantly make decisions on the goods and services they purchase, in most cases with incomplete information. Many products that are available in stores, in catalogues, or over the internet are not presented with a full list of attributes or technical specifications. Lack of information is most apparent in non-market goods such as utility service attributes. This paper examines information effects on consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for a number of electricity and water attributes using two contingent valuation surveys administered in the UK. The attributes considered include WTP for a carbon cleaner electricity fuel mixture as well as increasing security of supply. The results indicate that the quantity and complexity of information can potentially lead individuals to ignore the information presented. The relevance of the attribute to the respondent is found to be a significant motivator in the processing of the information presented. The survey data also reveal a number of socio-economic, attitudinal and behavioural factors that affect WTP for the attributes considered.

description: This report presents estimates of costs to poultry slaughtering plants of utilizing wastewater treatment systems to meet likely future effluent limitations and discusses the economic impact of these costs. Data on industry location, water use, waste treatment, and byproduct disposition are provided. For representative plants, wastewater treatment costs ranged from 0.5 to 1.9 percent of average total costs. Plants without municipal treatment would require a total investment of $21 to $60 million to construct the current best available control technology. Wastewater treatment costs of this technology would represent 1.6 to 5.9 percent of average total costs for representative plants. High costs of constructing wastewater treatment systems to meet the effluent limitations will encourage poultry slaughtering plants to seek other alternatives to reduce water use and wasteloads.

description: We derive monthly and quarterly series of UK GDP for the inter-war period from a set of monthly indicators that were constructed by The Economist at the time. The monthly information is complemented with data for quarterly industrial production, allowing us to employ mixed-frequency methods to produce monthly estimates of GDP and of industrial production. We proceed to illustrate how the new data compare with existing high frequency data and how they can be used to contribute to our understanding of the economic history of the UK in the inter-war period and to draw comparisons between recession profiles in the inter-war and the post-war period.
