description: Slotting fees are fixed charges paid by food manufacturers to retailers for access to the retail market. The practice is both increasingly common and increasingly controversial. This note shows how imperfectly competitive retailers and a monopolistic supplier of one good can use "naked" slotting fees – charges imposed on competitive suppliers of other goods – to extract rent in vertically integrated multi-good markets.

description: In neurons, neuropeptides are synthesized in the soma and are then transported along the axon in dense core vesicles (DCVs). DCVs are captured in varicosities located along the axon terminal called en passant boutons, which are active terminal sites that accumulate and release neurotransmitters. Recently developed experimental techniques allow for the estimation of the age of DCVs in various locations in the axon terminal. Accurate simulation of the mean age of DCVs in boutons requires the development of a model that would account for resident, transiting-anterograde, and transiting-retrograde DCV populations. In this paper, such a model is developed. The model is applied to simulating DCV transport in Drosophila type II motoneurons. The model simulates DCV transport and capture in the axon terminals and makes it possible to predict the age density distribution of DCVs in en passant boutons as well as DCV's mean age in boutons. The predicted prevalence of older organelles in distal boutons may explain the "dying back" pattern of axonal degeneration observed in dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease. The predicted difference of two hours between the age of older DCVs residing in distal boutons and the age of younger DCVs residing in proximal boutons is consistent with an approximate estimate of age difference deduced from experimental observations. The age density of resident DCVs is found to be bimodal, which is because DCVs are captured from two transiting states: the anterograde transiting state that contains younger DCVs and the retrograde transiting state that contains older DCVs.

description: I examine the welfare implications of informative advertising in a differentiated product duopoly market. The analysis reconciles the apparently conflicting results in previous studies that find advertising to be undersupplied in homogeneous product markets and in differentiated markets with a limited number of firms, but oversupplied in differentiated markets with a large number of firms. In equilibrium, purely informative advertising is always overprovided when the degree of product differentiation exceeds a threshold level. The result is robust and obtains under conditions of both price and quantity competition. Product differentiation also has welfare implications for the effect of technological change in the advertising sector. In response to an advertising cost innovation (e.g., through the emergence of cable TV and internet media), the equilibrium prices and advertising levels converge to the social optimum when the products are sufficiently non-differentiated, whereas divergence occurs for more differentiated goods

description: This article uses revealed preferences of consumers to study the consumer benefits from rBST-free and organic labeled milk. The article specifies and estimates a quadratic AIDS demand system model for different milk types using US supermarket scanner data. The introduction of rBST-free and organic milk is used to estimate consumer benefits, which are decomposed into two components, competitive and variety effects. Results show significant consumer benefits from organic milk and to a lesser extent from rBST-free milk. Based on the findings, we explore implications for present U.S. labeling standards.

description: Time domain astronomy and the increasing number of exoplanet candidates call for reliable, robust, and automatic wavelength calibration. We present an algorithm for wavelength calibrating échelle spectrographs that uses order-by-order extracted spectra and a list of laboratory wavelengths. Our approach is fully automatic and does not need the pixel locations of certain spectral features with which to anchor the wavelength solution, nor the true order number of each diffraction order. We use spectral features that are duplicated in adjacent orders to establish the scale-invariant component of the wavelength solution. We then match the central wavelengths of spectral features to laboratory wavelengths to establish the scale and higher order components of the wavelength solution. We demonstrate our method on the four spectrographs of Las Cumbres Observatory's Network of Robotic Échelle Spectrographs (NRES), on the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) spectrograph, and on synthetic data. We obtain a velocity-equivalent precision of 10 m/s on NRES. We achieve 1 m/s on HARPS, which agrees with the precision reported by the HARPS team. On synthetic data, we achieve the velocity precision set by Gaussian centroiding errors. Our algorithm likely holds for a wide range of spectrographs beyond the five presented here. We provide an open-source Python package, xwavecal (https://github.com/gmbrandt/xwavecal/), which outputs wavelength calibrated spectra as well as the wavelengths of spectral features.

description: Queensland residential tenancies are usually granted for up to 12 months with no guarantee of renewal. On expiration of the term, the landlord, without need to provide an explanation, can require the tenant to leave. Europeans fi nd this unusual. As Hammar observes, to ‘never be sure whether … you will be allowed to stay for another year … is ok for a student, or for someone working … but not for households’.1 This article informs Queensland policy makers and industry about European practices and concludes by proposing legislative amendments to realise the tenant’s security of tenure.

description: There has been disagreement in the literature on whether the hydrogen atom spectrum receives any tree-level correction due to noncommutativity. Here we shall clarify the issue and show that indeed a general argument on the structure of proton as a nonelementary particle leads to the appearance of such corrections. As a showcase, we evaluate the corrections in a simple nonrelativistic quark model with a result in agreement with the previous one we had obtained by considering the electron moving in the external electric field of proton. Thus the previously obtained bound on the noncommutativity parameter, $θ< (10^4 GeV)^{-2}$, using the Lamb shift data, remains valid.

description: The Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, key court decisions, and several breakthrough process technologies, paved the way for a period of remarkable growth in the patenting of life science research by U.S. universities in the 1980s and 1990s. Using a multiple-output cost framework and panel data on 96 universities over two decades this article examines whether economies of scope and/or scale are present in university production of three major life science research outputs: journal articles, patents, and doctorates. The results show strong evidence of significant economies of scope between articles and patents and economies of scale in article and patent production, suggesting that larger universities have distinct cost advantages in the production of high quality research outputs.

description: Companies in their efforts to improve and promote their products are led to customer satisfaction research as well as to analyze their behavior. The above actions help companies to understand how consumers choose the products they buy, what their needs are and what their opinion is about the products. In recent years, competition between companies has been increasing continuously, resulting in emphasis being placed on both product quality and consumer desires. In this specific work, consumer satisfaction with a widely used product, the car, will be studied. To collect data, a survey will be carried out using a questionnaire through which data will be collected on consumer purchasing behavior as well as their satisfaction with their car. For the analysis of purchasing behavior, data analysis methods, k-means, multi-criteria methods, such as MUSA (MUlticriteria Satisfaction Analysis) and MUSA – Kano will be used, the results of which will identify market segments, the level of customer satisfaction, the degree of importance of individual product characteristics and the level of customer demand. In addition, the results of the methods will identify the strengths and weaknesses of customer satisfaction as well as where improvement efforts should be focused per market segment.

description: Judges conduct settlement conferences in civil disputes in many parts of the world. This is an important feature of judicial work in many jurisdictions. In Australia, the role of judges and their relationship with Alternative or Appropriate Dispute Resolution (‘ADR’) processes and, in particular, their role in judicial settlement conferencing processes conducted within the civil justice setting, has been the subject of some discussion in recent years. This article explores the evolving nature of the relationship between courts and ADR and more specifi cally comments on the nature of the judicial function and its relationship with ADR, before discussing the role of judges in relation to judicial settlement conferences. The reasons why judges should conduct settlement conferences are considered in the context of changing court and societal trends and objectives, the skills and attributes of judges, the objectives of the civil justice system and the important role that judges can play in this form of court integrated ADR.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The explosion of a core collapse supernova drives a powerful shock front into the wind from the progenitor star. A layer of shocked circumstellar gas and ejecta develops that is subject to hydrodynamic instabilities. The hot gas can be observed directly by its X-ray emission, some of which is absorbed and re-radiated at lower frequencies by the ejecta and the circumstellar gas. Synchrotron radiation from relativistic electrons accelerated at the shock fronts provides information on the mass loss density if free-free absorption dominates at early times or the size of the emitting region if synchrotron self-absorption dominates. Analysis of the interaction leads to information on the density and structure of the ejecta and the circumstellar medium, and the abundances in these media. The emphasis here is on the physical processes related to the interaction.

description: The purpose of the research presented in this study is to examine the relationship of price dispersion to search costs, store choice, and market power in the food-retailing sector. The study used consumer level demographic information and brand level fluid milk consumption data from 33 U.S. metropolitan areas. Overall, the study found strong evidence of search cost related strategic firm and consumer behavior. Our results show that purchase frequency has a negative and significant relationship with price dispersions and with measures of price cost margins. We also find that the price of fluid milk was an important factor in explaining whether or not consumers return to the same store. Demographic factors such as income and race were important in explaining price dispersions, which suggest different willingness to search across population sub-groups.

description: Whether animal personality studies provide insights of broader evolutionary and ecological relevance to the field of behavioural ecology is frequently questioned. One of the sources of controversy is the vast, but often vague terminology present in the field. From a statistical perspective, animal personality is defined as among-individual variance in behaviour. However, numerous conceptual definitions of animal personality are available in the literature. Here, we performed (i) a self-report questionnaire and (ii) a systematic literature review to quantify how researchers interpreted conceptual and statistical definitions commonly used in animal personality research. We also compared whether data obtained from the questionnaire matched with data from the literature review. Among the 430 self-reported researchers that participated in our questionnaire, we observed discrepancies in key questions such as the conceptual definition of animal personality or the interpretation of repeatability. Furthermore, our literature review generally confirmed the global patterns revealed by the questionnaire. Overall, we identified common disagreements within the field of animal personality and discussed potential solutions. We advocate for adopting a terminology that avoids ambiguous interpretations and helps to make more explicit the widespread connotations implicit in the label ‘animal personality’.

description: This paper analyzes strategic retail pricing behavior in fluid milk in Boston and New York market using reduced form time series analysis. Pricing in Boston market is found to be more strategic than in the New York market. Plausible reasons can be due to retail pricing laws, ownership structures of retail chains, and brand loyalty. This paper also looks at the impact of North East Dairy Compact on retail pricing in Boston. Strategic pricing behavior in the Boston market changed dramatically and became less competitive after the Compact.

description: We present visible and near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations of interstellar object 2I/Borisov taken from 2019 September 10 to 2019 November 29 using the GROWTH, the APO ARC 3.5 m and the NASA/IRTF 3.0 m combined with post and pre-discovery observations of 2I obtained by ZTF from 2019 March 17 to 2019 May 5. Comparison with imaging of distant Solar System comets shows an object very similar to mildly active Solar System comets with an out-gassing rate of $\sim$10$^{27}$ mol/sec. The photometry, taken in filters spanning the visible and NIR range shows a gradual brightening trend of $\sim0.03$ mags/day since 2019 September 10 UTC for a reddish object becoming neutral in the NIR. The lightcurve from recent and pre-discovery data reveals a brightness trend suggesting the recent onset of significant H$_2$O sublimation with the comet being active with super volatiles such as CO at heliocentric distances $>$6 au consistent with its extended morphology. Using the advanced capability to significantly reduce the scattered light from the coma enabled by high-resolution NIR images from Keck adaptive optics taken on 2019 October 04, we estimate a diameter of 2I's nucleus of $\lesssim$1.4 km. We use the size estimates of 1I/'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov to roughly estimate the slope of the ISO size-distribution resulting in a slope of $\sim$3.4$\pm$1.2, similar to Solar System comets and bodies produced from collisional equilibrium.

description:
This study applied supervised machine learning with multi-modal data to predict remission of major depressive disorder (MDD) after psychotherapy. Genotyped adult patients (n = 894, 65.5% women, age 18–75 years) diagnosed with mild-to-moderate MDD and treated with guided Internet-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (ICBT) at the Internet Psychiatry Clinic in Stockholm were included (2008–2016). Predictor types were demographic, clinical, process (e.g., time to complete online questionnaires), and genetic (polygenic risk scores). Outcome was remission status post ICBT (cut-off ≤10 on MADRS-S). Data were split into train (60%) and validation (40%) given ICBT start date. Predictor selection employed human expertise followed by recursive feature elimination. Model derivation was internally validated through cross-validation. The final random forest model was externally validated against a (i) null, (ii) logit, (iii) XGBoost, and (iv) blended meta-ensemble model on the hold-out validation set. Feature selection retained 45 predictors representing all four predictor types. With unseen validation data, the final random forest model proved reasonably accurate at classifying post ICBT remission (Accuracy 0.656 [0.604, 0.705], P vs null model = 0.004; AUC 0.687 [0.631, 0.743]), slightly better vs logit (bootstrap D = 1.730, P = 0.084) but not vs XGBoost (D = 0.463, P = 0.643). Transparency analysis showed model usage of all predictor types at both the group and individual patient level. A new, multi-modal classifier for predicting MDD remission status after ICBT treatment in routine psychiatric care was derived and empirically validated. The multi-modal approach to predicting remission may inform tailored treatment, and deserves further investigation to attain clinical usefulness.

description: Finite-dimensional spaces which are invariant under the action of the Hamiltonian of the BC_N Inozemtsev model are introduced, and it is shown that higher commuting operators also preserve the finite-dimensional spaces. The relationship between the finite-dimensional spaces of the BC_N Inozemtsev models and the theta-type invariant spaces of the BC_N Ruijsenaars models is clarified. The degeneration of the BC_N Inozemtsev models and the correspondence of their invariant spaces are considered.

description: We develop a phenomenological model to predict the clustering of dark matter halos on the light-cone by combining several existing theoretical models. Assuming that the velocity field of halos on large scales is approximated by linear theory, we propose an empirical prescription of a scale-, mass-, and time-dependence of halo biasing. We test our model against the Hubble Volume $N$-body simulation and examine its validity and limitations. We find a good agreement in two-point correlation functions of dark matter halos between the phenomenological model predictions and measurements from the simulation for $R>5h^{-1}$Mpc both in the real and redshift spaces. Although calibrated on the mass scale of groups and clusters and for redshifts up to $z\sim2$, the model is quite general and can be applied to a wider range of astrophysical objects, such as galaxies and quasars, if the relation between dark halos and visible objects is specified.

description: We examine contracts used in the North American sugarbeet industry. Though quite similar in many respects, the contracts we study vary across processing firms in the set of quality measures used to condition contract payments to growers. This is somewhat surprising given the homogeneous nature of the processors’ finished product (refined sugar). It seems unlikely that processors differ significantly in how they value the various attributes of a sugarbeet, and this is perhaps the most natural reason to expect differences in the structure of quality incentives across processors. Previous attempts to explain the observed variation in sugarbeet contracts have focused on differences in organizational form across firms. In this paper, we provide an alternative explanation that relies on variation across production regions in growers’ ability to ‘control’ the relevant measures of sugarbeet quality.

description: We construct the unitary evolution operators that realize the quantization of linear maps of SL(2,R) over phase spaces of arbitrary integer discretization N and show the non-trivial dependence on the arithmetic nature of N. We discuss the corresponding uncertainty principle and construct the corresponding coherent states, that may be interpreted as non-commutative solitons.

description: Market structure and strategic pricing for leading brands sold by Coca Cola and Pepsi Inc. are investigated in the context of a flexible demand specification and structural price equations. This approach is more general than prior studies that rely upon linear approximations and interactions of an inherently nonlinear problem. We test for Bertrand equilibrium, Stackelberg equilibrium, collusion, and a general conjectural variation (CV) specification. This nonlinear Full Information Maximum Likelihood (FIML) estimation approach provides useful information on the nature of imperfect competition and the extent of market power.

description: We develop a reduced-form model of price transmission in a vertical sector, allowing for refined asymmetric, contemporaneous and lagged, own and cross price effects. The model is used to analyze wholesale-retail price dynamics in the US butter market. The analysis provides strong evidence of asymmetric price transmissions. It documents the complex nature of nonlinear price dynamics in a vertical sector and its implications for the distribution of future prices. It finds evidence that the asymmetric response to shocks is stronger in the short run for retail prices, and in the longer run for wholesale prices.

description: This paper presents a comprehensive empirical comparison between two approaches for developing a base noun phrase chunker: human rule writing and active learning using interactive real-time human annotation. Several novel variations on active learning are investigated, and underlying cost models for cross-modal machine learning comparison are presented and explored. Results show that it is more efficient and more successful by several measures to train a system using active learning annotation rather than hand-crafted rule writing at a comparable level of human labor investment.

description: Over-estimation of worst-case execution times (WCETs) of real-time tasks leads to poor resource utilization. In a mixed-criticality system (MCS), the over-provisioning of CPU time to accommodate the WCETs of highly critical tasks may lead to degraded service for less critical tasks. In this paper, we present PAStime, a novel approach to monitor and adapt the runtime progress of highly time-critical applications, to allow for improved service to lower criticality tasks. In PAStime, CPU time is allocated to time-critical tasks according to the delays they experience as they progress through their control flow graphs. This ensures that as much time as possible is made available to improve the Quality-of-Service of less critical tasks, while high-criticality tasks are compensated after their delays. In this paper, we integrate PAStime with Adaptive Mixed-criticality (AMC) scheduling. The LO-mode budget of a high-criticality task is adjusted according to the delay observed at execution checkpoints. This is the first implementation of AMC in the scheduling framework Using LITMUS-RT, which is extended with our PAStime runtime policy and tested with real-time Linux applications such as object classification and detection. We observe in our experimental evaluation that AMC-PAStime significantly improves the utilization of the low-criticality tasks while guaranteeing service to high-criticality tasks.

description: The advent of reliable, nanoscale memristive components is promising for next generation compute-in-memory paradigms, however, the intrinsic variability in these devices has prevented widespread adoption. Here we show coherent electron wave functions play a pivotal role in the nanoscale transport properties of these emerging, non-volatile memories. By characterizing both filamentary and non-filamentary memristive devices as disordered Anderson systems, the switching characteristics and intrinsic variability arise directly from the universality of electron transport in disordered media. Our framework suggests localization phenomena in nanoscale, solid-state memristive systems are directly linked to circuit level performance. We discuss how quantum conductance fluctuations in the active layer set a lower bound on device variability. This finding implies there is a fundamental quantum limit on the reliability of memristive devices, and electron coherence will play a decisive role in surpassing or maintaining Moore's Law with these systems.
