description: The cosmological constant problem is a failure of naturalness and suggests that a fine-tuning mechanism is at work, which may also address the hierarchy problem. An example -- supported by Weinberg's successful prediction of the cosmological constant -- is the potentially vast landscape of vacua in string theory, where the existence of galaxies and atoms is promoted to a vacuum selection criterion. Then, low energy SUSY becomes unnecessary, and supersymmetry -- if present in the fundamental theory -- can be broken near the unification scale. All the scalars of the supersymmetric standard model become ultraheavy, except for a single finely tuned Higgs. Yet, the fermions of the supersymmetric standard model can remain light, protected by chiral symmetry, and account for the successful unification of gauge couplings. This framework removes all the difficulties of the SSM: the absence of a light Higgs and sparticles, dimension five proton decay, SUSY flavor and CP problems, and the cosmological gravitino and moduli problems. High-scale SUSY breaking raises the mass of the light Higgs to about 120-150 GeV. The gluino is strikingly long lived, and a measurement of its lifetime can determine the ultraheavy scalar mass scale. Measuring the four Yukawa couplings of the Higgs to the gauginos and higgsinos precisely tests for high-scale SUSY. These ideas, if confirmed, will demonstrate that supersymmetry is present but irrelevant for the hierarchy problem -- just as it has been irrelevant for the cosmological constant problem -- strongly suggesting the existence of a fine-tuning mechanism in nature.

description: Aloe vera, a succulent herb, has a long history of use in traditional medicine, including diabetes. Earlier studies from our laboratory demonstrated that the Aloe vera extract has the ability to inhibit the diabetic drug target dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) IV in vitro. This current study focuses on the isolation of small water soluble active molecule(s) involved in DPP-IV inhibition from Aloe vera extract, and further to characterize its structure and to elucidate the mode of inhibition of the DPP-IV enzyme. Aloe vera gel ethanolic extract was subjected to preparative reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), LH-20 Sephadex gel filtration chromatography, followed by analytical RP-HPLC, to isolate the active molecule involved in DPP-IV inhibition. Based on the spectroscopic studies, the structure of the isolated DPP-IV inhibitor was predicted to be 3, 6-dioxo-3, 3a, 6, 6 a-tetrahydropyrrolo [3, 4-c] pyrrole-1, 4-dicarboxamide with the chemical formula C8H6N4O4, having the molecular weight of 225.175 Da. This molecule inhibited the DPP-IV enzyme in a noncompetitive manner with an IC50 value of 8.59 ± 2.61 µM, with a Ki of 4.7 ± 0.038 µM. Thus, the mechanism of DPP-IV inhibition and the inhibitory constants were determined. The results of our studies suggested that the inhibition of the DPP-IV enzyme as one of the pathways by which the Aloe vera extract may restore the pancreatic islets cell mass in diabetic animal model.

Microsimulation of time variant road pricing for Kanton Zug using MATSim
Creators: name: Molloy, Joseph

Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2018

description: Despite the theoretical capabilities of road pricing to reduce congestion and environmental externalities, real world adoption has been limited to a small number of cities worldwide due to both political and technical difficulties. In the pursuit of a political feasible scheme, we explore the effectiveness of ‘revenue neutral’ mobility pricing for Zug, Switzerland. In such a scheme, the current federal fuel tax and cantonal taxes are either partially or fully replaced by a time-variant road pricing scheme that raises no more money than what was previously collected from the replaced fuel taxes. To provide a more accurate estimate of fuel tax revenue, a household car type ownership model is integrated into a MATSim scenario for Zug to capture the heterogeneity in fuel efficiency. Previous stated preference results on mode choice behavior under pricing conditions are incorporated to better capture agents’ responses to pricing. The results explore whether there is enough monetary capacity in the fuel tax revenue to dictate changes in behavior when time variant tolls are implemented. Different tolling methods namely per km charges and cordons are compared, and the sociodemographic influences of different pricing schemes discussed.
Off-street residential parking and car ownership

description: Off-street residential parking market can be viewed as a case where the market-clearing price is the result of a set of characteristics, some of which have been the result of different policies. However, modelling of the pricing mechanism that governs such partial markets has received very low attention in the literature, mainly due to their unregulated nature. The current study aims to fill in that gap by employing a spatial hedonic modelling approach to model off-street parking rental prices for the city of Zurich. The results highlight the existence of local partial market clearing conditions with rental prices being highly sensitive on the availability of on-street parking in the close vicinity of residences, while the identification of the influence zones of the employed variables brings forward interesting behavioral aspects concerning the decision to rent an off-street parking place. In addition, a car ownership model on a household level is developed, accounting for the endogenous character of parking prices.

description: Within the program of holographic renormalization, we discuss the computation of three-point correlation functions along RG flows. We illustrate the procedure in two simple cases. In an RG flow to the Coulomb branch of N=4 SYM theory we derive a compact and finite expression for the three-point function of lowest CPO's dual to inert scalars. In the GPPZ flow, that captures some features of N=1 SYM theory, we compute the three-point function with insertion of two inert scalars and one active scalar that mixes with the stress tensor. By amputating the external legs at the mass poles we extract the trilinear coupling of the corresponding superglueballs. Finally we outline the procedure for computing three-point functions with insertions of the stress tensor as well as of (broken) R-symmetry currents.

description: Indian Banking Industry has witnessed tremendous changes since Independence of country. Although it is regulated by Acts like Banking Regulation Act, RBI Act, SBI Act, and Insolvency Act, even then the sector faces many troubles due to various frauds and unethical practices on the part of customers and employees of the banks. The present study is based on this sensible issue that despite many regulations, industry is facing substantial losses due to unethical conduct of people, where public money is involved. The customer money is misused by exploiting different flaws and loopholes in our financial system. It is an attempt to bring light on the various issues which create mounting of NPAs and failures on part of banking industry.

description: The post-acceleration phase of corporate accelerator programs includes all activities after acceleration of a start-up and is a topic that attracts limited interest in scientific literature so far. Neither practical nor academic guidance on how to structure the post-acceleration phase currently exist. This omission is judged to be negligent since acceleration outcomes are utilized during the post-acceleration phase, when the acceleration has come to an end. Actions taken during the post-acceleration phase will therefore determine the overall success of the corporate accelerator program , which should elicit interest of researchers. The existing gap in literature and missing recommendations for implementation in practice are the main motivators for this thesis. A multiple case study analysis with four cases was performed to collect insights on how the post-acceleration phase is managed in practice and to provide recommendations for a structured post-acceleration phase management approach. The main result of the thesis is that a structured post-acceleration phase is recommended , if corporates aim for long-term collaborative partnerships with external start-ups. Areas that must be covered during post-acceleration are a joint evaluation of the acceleration success, the structured integration of acceleration outcomes into the corporate organization and the creation of entrepreneurial network structures to drive cultural change and to maintain long term relationships. The thesis demonstrates that the post-acceleration phase is an integral part of corporate acceleration and that it must be managed properly to achieve acceleration objectives. Corporates that follow the recommendations outlined in this thesis will have more long-term acceleration outcomes, will be able to improve future accelerations and will enable cultural transformation towards more entrepreneurship. This thesis lays explorative groundwork and functions as a starting point for additional research so that corporate accelerator programs can be further improved ben-efitting of corporates and participating start-ups.

description: Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in power systems are conventionally modelled as direct currents, based on their commonly described quasi-DC nature. For more representative power system dynamic response modelling, it is necessary to model GICs using low-frequency AC. After analysing spectra of geomagnetic field measurements and GICs in several power systems, preliminary results indicate that the GIC spectra depend on the magnitude and frequency spectrum of the geomagnetic disturbance, the earth conductivity and the electrical characteristics of the network. In this paper, analysis based on measured GIC power spectra suggests that the dominant frequencies to use in GIC modelling and simulation are typically below 50 mHz. The associated error introduced by only using these frequencies is also quantified. The results have implications for modelling the geoelectric fields inducing GICs, dynamic models of power system response and the need for GICs and their associated driving fields to be measured at intervals not exceeding 10 s.

description: The production of pairs of fast atoms leads to a pronounced loss of atoms during upward ramps of Feshbach resonance levels in dilute Bose-Einstein condensates. We provide comparative studies on the formation of these bursts of atoms containing the physical predictions of several theoretical approaches at different levels of approximation. We show that despite their very different description of the microscopic binary physics during the passage of a Feshbach resonance, all approaches lead to virtually the same prediction on the total loss of condensate atoms, provided that the ramp of the magnetic field strength is purely linear. We give the reasons for this remarkable insensitivity of the remnant condensate fraction to the microscopic physical processes and compare the theoretical predictions with recent Feshbach resonance crossing experiments on 23Na and 85Rb.

description: Greenhouse summer squash is a major type of greenhouse vegetable in Shandong Province. In summer, there is a three-month idle period of greenhouse summer squash. Volvariella volvacea is a high temperature resistant high-quality edible fungus. In practice, it is able to use the spent mushroom substrate of Flammulina velutipes to cultivate V. volvacea. In the idle period of greenhouse summer squash, cultivating V. volvacea using the spent mushroom substrate of F. velutipes has high economic and environmental benefits. The cultivation techniques mainly include the preparation of cultivation materials, preliminary preparation for the greenhouse, planting management of V. volvacea, and returning the spent mushroom substrate to the field. By comparison with the conventional summer squash planting, this technique has higher economic benefits and its application prospects will be broad.

Energy consumption in compact integer vectors: A study case

description: In the field of algorithms and data structures analysis and design, most of the researchers focus only on the space/time trade-off, and little attention has been paid to energy consumption. Moreover, most of the efforts in the field of Green Computing have been devoted to hardware-related issues, being green software in its infancy. Optimizing the usage of computing resources, minimizing power consumption or increasing battery life are some of the goals of this field of research. As an attempt to address the most recent sustainability challenges, we must incorporate the energy consumption as a first-class constraint when designing new compact data structures. Thus, as a preliminary work to reach that goal, we first need to understand the factors that impact on the energy consumption and their relation with compression. In this work, we study the energy consumption required by several integer vector representations. We execute typical operations over datasets of different nature. We can see that, as commonly believed, energy consumption is highly related to the time required by the process, but not always. We analyze other parameters, such as number of instructions, number of CPU cycles, memory loads, among others.

description: Transverse momentum broadening and energy loss of a propagating parton are dictated by the space-time profile of the jet transport coefficient $\hat q$ in a dense QCD medium. The spatial gradient of $\hat q$ perpendicular to the propagation direction can lead to a drift and asymmetry in parton transverse momentum distribution. Such an asymmetry depends on both the spatial position along the transverse gradient and path length of a propagating parton as shown by numerical solutions of the Boltzmann transport in the simplified form of a drift-diffusion equation. In high-energy heavy-ion collisions, this asymmetry with respect to a plane defined by the beam and trigger particle (photon, hadron or jet) with a given orientation relative to the event plane is shown to be closely related to the transverse position of the initial jet production in full event-by-event simulations within the linear Boltzmann transport model. Such a gradient tomography can be used to localize the initial jet production position for more detailed study of jet quenching and properties of the quark-gluon plasma along a given propagation path in heavy-ion collisions.

Here, we show that a non-trivial knot in S^3 has a non-trivial A-polynomial. We deduce this from the gauge-theoretic work of Kronheimer and Mrowka on SU_2-representations of Dehn surgeries on knots in S^3. As a corollary, we show that if a conjecture connecting the colored Jones polynomials to the A-polynomial holds, then the colored Jones polynomials distinguish the unknot

description: The paper discusses culture in modern society. Scientists are trying to define the concept of culture, but there is a great disagreement between the authors, which only confirms that this is a very complex phenomenon. The spread of cultural contacts in the modern world, communication and knowledge contribute to the rapprochement of nations. The globalization of culture has positive and negative
 sides. The possibility of losing cultural identity lies in the growing danger of assimilation - the absorption of a small culture by a larger one, the dissolution of the cultural characteristics of a national minority in the culture of a great nation.

description: Recent research has shown a trend towards a potentially more insightful measure by decomposing the value of travel time (VTT) - typically derived from discrete choice models - into two separate parts: The value of leisure (VOR) and the value of time assigned to travel (VTAT). In this paper we refine the micro- economic modeling framework proposed by Jara-Diaz et al. (2008), allowing for 1) correlations between continuous time use and expenditure allocation 2) correlations between continuous equations and discrete mode choices and 3) correlations within individuals‘ mode choices by accounting for the panel structure, using a representative sample of 748 Austrian workers observed over one week (Aschauer et al., 2018). 
Compared to the independent estimation approach, although coefficients are similar, the simultaneous estimation of correlated coefficients yields a significant increase in model fit, and leads to a - from an analytical point of view - substantial simplification of the modelling structure. VTT (10 Euro/h for car, 4 Euro/h for public transportation, 8 Euro/h for bike and 15 Euro/h for walk) and the resulting VTAT (as the difference between VOR and VTT) vary substantially between the different modes, implying that e.g. the conditions of travel in public transportation are perceived more pleasant compared to car.

Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2018

description: Current evidence shows that commercialization and deployment of connected and autonomous vehicles will most likely first happen in the public transport sector, before their general adoption by private cars. This paper examines such a deployment scenario for a bi-modal highway system with an automated highway lane, which is originally dedicated to autonomous buses. We develop a control framework to allow additional autonomous cars to share this automated lane while not affecting the operations of the buses. Our proposed control strategy can optimize the benefits offered by the autonomous vehicles at wide range of penetration rates, while significantly increase the road space efficiency of the bi-modal system.

description: A thick-restart Lanczos type algorithm is proposed for Hermitian $J$-symmetric matrices. Since Hermitian $J$-symmetric matrices possess doubly degenerate spectra or doubly multiple eigenvalues with a simple relation between the degenerate eigenvectors, we can improve the convergence of the Lanczos algorithm by restricting the search space of the Krylov subspace to that spanned by one of each pair of the degenerate eigenvector pairs. We show that the Lanczos iteration is compatible with the $J$-symmetry, so that the subspace can be split into two subspaces that are orthogonal to each other. The proposed algorithm searches for eigenvectors in one of the two subspaces without the multiplicity. The other eigenvectors paired to them can be easily reconstructed with the simple relation from the $J$-symmetry. We test our algorithm on randomly generated small dense matrices and a sparse large matrix originating from a quantum field theory.

description: We demonstrate the effective use of randomized methods for linear algebra to perform network-based analysis of complex vortical flows. Network theoretic approaches can reveal the connectivity structures among a set of vortical elements and analyze their collective dynamics. These approaches have recently been generalized to analyze high-dimensional turbulent flows, for which network computations can become prohibitively expensive. In this work, we propose efficient methods to approximate network quantities, such as the leading eigendecomposition of the adjacency matrix, using randomized methods. Specifically, we use the Nyström method to approximate the leading eigenvalues and eigenvectors, achieving significant computational savings and reduced memory requirements. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is demonstrated on two high-dimensional flow fields: two-dimensional flow past an airfoil and two-dimensional turbulence. We find that quasi-uniform column sampling outperforms uniform column sampling, while both feature the same computational complexity.

We rely on two different approaches to quantify the anisotropy of the cosmic infall: we measure the flows at the haloes' virial radius while describing the infalling matter via fluxes through a spherical shell; we measure the spatial and kinematical distributions of satellites and substructures around haloes detected by the subclump finder ADAPTAHOP first described in the appendix. The two methods are found to be in agreement both qualitatively and quantitatively via one and two points statistics.The infall takes place preferentially in the plane perpendicular to the direction defined by the halo's spin. We computed the excess of equatorial accretion both through rings and via a harmonic expansion of the infall. The level of anisotropy of infalling matter is found to be ~15 %. The substructures have their spin orthogonal to their velocity vector in the halo's rest frame at a level of about 5%, suggestive of an image of a flow along filamentary structures which provides an explanation for the measured anisotropy. We conclude that a halo does not see its environment as an isotropic perturbation, investigate how the anisotropy is propagated inwards using perturbation theory, and discuss briefly implications for weak lensing, warps and the thickness of galactic disks.

description: Neonicotinoids are effective insecticides used on many important arable and horticultural crops. They are nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists which disrupt the function of insect neurons and cause paralysis and death. In addition to direct mortality, there are numerous sublethal effects of low doses of neonicotinoids on bees. We hypothesize that some of these large array of effects could be a consequence of epigenetic changes in bees induced by neonicotinoids. We compared whole methylome (BS-seq) and RNA-seq libraries of the brains of buff-tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris workers exposed to field-realistic doses of the neonicotinoid imidacloprid to libraries from control workers. We found numerous genes which show differential expression between neonicotinoid-treated bees and control bees, but no differentially methylated cytosines in any context. We found CpG methylation to be focused mainly in exons and associated with highly expressed genes. We discuss the implications of our results for future legislation.

description: We investigate the dynamics of interacting magnetic flux lines driven by an external current in the presence of linear pinning centers, arranged either in a periodic square lattice or placed randomly in space, by means of three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations. Compared to the non-interacting case, the repulsive forces between the vortices reduce the critical current J_c, as determined from the depinning threshold in the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. Near the depinning current J_c, the voltage power spectrum S(w) reveals broad-band noise, characterized by a $1/w^a$ power law decay with a <= 2. At larger currents the flux lines move with an average velocity v_{cm}. For a periodic arrangement of columnar pins with a lattice constant $d$ and just above J_c, distinct peaks appear in the voltage noise spectrum S(w) at w ~ v_{cm}/d which we interpret as the signature of stick-slip flux line motion.

From Acceleration to Collaboration - Recommendations for the Design of a Structured Corporate Accelerator Post-acceleration Phase

description: The post-acceleration phase of corporate accelerator programs includes all activities after acceleration of a start-up and is a topic that attracts limited interest in scientific literature so far. Neither practical nor academic guidance on how to structure the post-acceleration phase currently exist. This omission is judged to be negligent since acceleration outcomes are utilized during the post-acceleration phase, when the acceleration has come to an end. Actions taken during the post-acceleration phase will therefore determine the overall success of the corporate accelerator program , which should elicit interest of researchers. The existing gap in literature and missing recommendations for implementation in practice are the main motivators for this thesis. A multiple case study analysis with four cases was performed to collect insights on how the post-acceleration phase is managed in practice and to provide recommendations for a structured post-acceleration phase management approach. The main result of the thesis is that a structured post-acceleration phase is recommended , if corporates aim for long-term collaborative partnerships with external start-ups. Areas that must be covered during post-acceleration are a joint evaluation of the acceleration success, the structured integration of acceleration outcomes into the corporate organization and the creation of entrepreneurial network structures to drive cultural change and to maintain long term relationships. The thesis demonstrates that the post-acceleration phase is an integral part of corporate acceleration and that it must be managed properly to achieve acceleration objectives. Corporates that follow the recommendations outlined in this thesis will have more long-term acceleration outcomes, will be able to improve future accelerations and will enable cultural transformation towards more entrepreneurship. This thesis lays explorative groundwork and functions as a starting point for additional research so that corporate accelerator programs can be further improved ben-efitting of corporates and participating start-ups.

description: During the gas shortage in the winter of 1973-74, farmers were high on the priority list for gasoline allocations. Under the proposed exchangeable coupon gasoline rationing, this allocative machinery and priority system would be superseded by a coupon resale market. The exchangeable coupon resale market is examined from the perspective of a consuming household and of a producing iu;m. The conclusion is that the coupon resale market will ration gas among the same uses that a higher market price would-the difference being not one ofallocation ofgas among alternative uses, but one of redistribution of income. The amount of income to be redistributed is estimated in the neighborhood of $28 billion per year.

description: The ANtarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) long-duration balloon experiment flies an interferometric radio array over Antarctica with a primary goal of detecting impulsive Askaryan radio emission from ultra-high-energy neutrinos interacting in the ice sheet. The third and fourth ANITA flights were completed in January 2015 and December 2016, respectively, obtaining the most stringent limits on the diffuse ultra-high-energy neutrino flux above 10$^{19.5}$ eV to date. We also discuss ongoing analyses and the proposed Payload for Ultrahigh Energy Observations (PUEO), the successor to the ANITA program. PUEO's larger number of antennas and improved trigger would significantly improve sensitivity compared to ANITA-IV.
