description: Using stochastic methods, general formulas for average kinetic and potential energies for anharmonic, undamped (frictionless), classical oscillators are derived. It is demonstrated that for potentials of $|x|^ν$ ($ν>0$) type energies are equipartitioned for the harmonic potential only. For potential wells weaker than parabolic potential energy dominates, while for potentials stronger than parabolic kinetic energy prevails. Due to energy conservation, the variances of kinetic and potential energies are equal. In the limiting case of the infinite rectangular potential well ($ν\to\infty$) the whole energy is stored in the form of the kinetic energy and variances of energy distributions vanish.

subject: value chain, firm valuation, value drivers, global financial crisis of 2007-2008

description: The article brings into the focus the corporate value creation and the main value drivers. The first goal of the study is to classify the most relevant value drivers, and their function of the firms’ value. Further objective of this paper is to present the effects of the 2007-2008 global financial crisis. This article demonstrates the following. The first part introduces the value chain and illustrates the primary and the support activities of the companies. The second section briefly presents the 2007-2008 global economic crisis, introducing its causes, events and financial aspects. The third empirical part of the paper analyses the database featuring data from 18 European countries, 10 sectors and 1553 firms in the period between 2004 and 2011. At the end, the fourth part contains conclusions. Based on the related literature reviewed and in the conducted empirical research it can be assessed that 2008 can be seen unambiguously as the year of the crisis. In this year, all independent variables had a negative effect on the dependent variable.

Subjects: subject: on-farm, off-farm agricultural activities, diversification, statistics, analysis, enterprises

description: Through the connection to rural resources agriculture has an impact on the three functions of countryside: ecology, society and economy. Resources of economy and production environment are continuously changing thus farmers have to adapt to these changing circumstances. One of the adaptation methods is the diversification of activities to promote effective capacity utilization and additional profit. However there is no standard definition of diversification from the point of agricultural economics aspect both traditional approaches and the influence of European Union should also be considered to define it. Diversification and alternative income opportunities could be subsistence possibilities for several farmers. This could be defined not only at private holdings’ but at enterprises’ level. According to a traditional approach Hungarian statistical databases collect on-farm and off-farm agricultural activities depending on the connection to resources of a farm business. Analysing this database an overall picture could be defined considering the position and characteristic of diversified farmers and the popularity of each activity among agricultural producers. Based on a study, published in 2011 (Hamza, 2011) this paper also involves the latest statistical data (2010, 2013). Analysing dataset of period 2000-2013 this paper gives an overall overview about national and regional position and characteristics of diversified holdings and activities.

Subjects: subject: Business cycle, Schumpeter, Keynes, cyclical development
subject: E32, F44, B22

description: The work identifies certain lessons which can be learned from Schumpeter’s analysis of the cyclical development of the economy and which may help in understanding the novel aspects presently displayed by this fundamental process. In particular, the author indicates which elements can be derived form Schumpeter’s microeconomic analysis and from Keynes’ macroeconomic one to construct an integrated model of the cyclical development of the economy in present-day conditions. He concludes that there is much to be gained by combining elements of Keynesian analysis of effective demand and parts of the Schumpeter analysis of technical progress and growth. JEL: E32, F44, B22

description: Pseudobaphia biesiana (Heude, 1877)
(Fig. 2)
 Type locality. “Le torrent de Ning-kouo-hien.” Johnson (1973) and Graf & Cummings (2017) placed this locality in Anhui Province in the Yangtze and Huai River basins in eastern People’s Republic of China.
 Type materials. Syntypes: MNHN 3425, MNHN 3427; SMF 3597 (Graf & Cummings, 2017); USNM 126480 [2 specimens] (Smithsonian Institution Database, 14 August 2017) [listed as paratypes by Johnson, 1973].
 Other materials. NZMC FM 01681 (He & Zhuang, 2013: 89).
 Discussion. There are no known preserved specimens available for anatomy or molecular analyses for P. biesiana. It is only known from five dry shell specimens. The specimen NZMC FM 01681 from Sichuan province, People’s Republic of China figured by He & Zhuang (2013) is identified as P. biesiana, but differs from the illustrated syntypes (Fig. 2) in having two short lateral teeth in the left valve. This specimen has greater lateral tooth development than exhibited by the syntype specimens and is from much farther west in China. It appears to be morphologically between P. biesiana and P. banggiangensis new species, which has well developed, long lateral teeth. This specimen may represent another new species in Pseudobaphia, but more specimens are required to answer this question. Historically, Haas (1969a, b) placed Pseudobaphia in the Quadrulinae, but modern molecular analyses restrict this subfamily to North America and it does not include any Asian taxa (Lopes-Lima et al., 2017). The phylogenetic position of Pseudobaphia is assumed to be in Unionidae, but assignment to subfamily or tribe is not now possible and is currently listed as Unionidae (incertae sedis) (Graf & Cummings, 2007; Lopes-Lima et al., 2017; Zieritz et al., 2017). Live specimens of this species are required to answer the question of Pseudobaphia ’s phylogenetic position.

description: We present an HI and optical study of the gas-rich dwarf irregular galaxy DDO 88. Although DDO 88's global optical and HI parameters are normal for its morphological type, it hosts a large (3 kpc diameter) and unusually complete ring of enhanced HI emission. The gas ring is located at approximately one-third of the total HI radius and one-half the optically-defined Holmberg radius, and contains 30% of the total HI of the galaxy. The ring surrounds a central depression in the HI distribution, so it may be a shell formed by a starburst episode. However, the UBV colors in the HI hole are not bluer than the rest of the galaxy as would be expected if an unusual star-forming event had taken place there recently, but there is an old (~1-3 Gyr), red cluster near the center of the hole that is massive enough to have produced the hole in the HI. An age estimate for the ring, however, is uncertain because it is not observed to be expanding. An expansion model produces a lower estimate of 0.5 Gyr, but the presence of faint star formation regions associated with the ring indicate a much younger age. We also estimate that the ring could have dispersed by now if it is older than 0.5 Gyr. This implies that the ring is younger than 0.5 Gyr. A younger age would indicate that the red cluster did not produce the hole and ring. If this ring and the depression in the gas which it surrounds were not formed by stellar winds and supernovae, this would indicate that some other, currently unidentified, mechanism is operating.

description: We report on the discovery of a large, room temperature magnetoresistance (MR) effect in polyfluorene sandwich devices in weak magnetic fields. We characterize this effect and discuss its dependence on voltage, temperature, film thickness, electrode materials, and (unintentional) impurity concentration. We usually observed negative MR, but positive MR can also be achieved under high applied electric fields. The MR effect reaches up to 10% at fields of 10mT at room temperature. The effect shows only a weak temperature dependence and is independent of the sign and direction of the magnetic field. We find that the effect is related to the hole current in the devices.

description: High-gain nonlinear observers occur in the nonlinear automatic control theory and are in standard usage in chemical engineering processes. We apply such a type of analysis in the context of a very simple one-gene regulation circuit. In general, an observer combines an analytical differential-equation-based model with partial measurement of the system in order to estimate the non-measured state variables. We use one of the simplest observers, that of Gauthier et al., which is a copy of the original system plus a correction term which is easy to calculate. For the illustration of this procedure, we employ a biological model, recently adapted from Goodwin's old book by De Jong, in which one plays with the dynamics of the concentrations of the messenger RNA coding for a given protein, the protein itself, and a single metabolite. Using the observer instead of the metabolite, it is possible to rebuild the non-measured concentrations of the mRNA and the protein

description: This study specifies a framework to evaluate an investment strategy combining a market assessment with a valuation method using a stochastic binomial real option model. The market assessment uses multi-criteria analysis to determine which markets should be targeted for commercialization of a genetically modified trait in a target crop. The stochastic binomial real option model is developed to determine whether commercialization is financially viable. The framework was applied to canola being developed using gene technology to increase its drought tolerance. Our results showed that drought-tolerant canola would be more profitable than conventional varieties, but it would only be sufficiently profitable to pursue commercialization in targeted regions or countries.
Gravitational Forces on the Branes

description: We examine the gravitational forces in a brane-world scenario felt by point particles on two 3-branes bounding a 5-dimensional AdS space with $S^{1}/Z_2$ symmetry. The particles are treated as perturbations on the vacuum metric and coordinate conditions are chosen so that no brane bending effects occur. We make an ADM type decomposition of the metric tensor and solve Einstein's equations to linear order in the static limit. While no stabilization mechanism is assumed, all the 5D Einstein equations are solved and are seen to have a consistent solution. We find that Newton's law is reproduced on the Planck brane at the origin while particles on the TeV brane a distance $y_2$ from the origin experience an attractive force that has a growing exponential dependence on the brane position.

For this purpose, the authors use input-output tables which are combined with sectoral production functions (of the Cobb-Douglas type) to represent the supply side. Personal consumption of goods and services is regarded as endogenous. The results suggest that changing consumption and final demand patterns are the principal factors affecting changes in the U.K. JEL: N14, O14

description: In the past few years, the Chaplygin gas (CG) has been considered as an appealing candidate for unifying dark matter and dark energy into a single substance. This picture had to face several problems when trying to fit its predictions with cosmological observations. We point out another potential problem of this model, showing that, when the CG is described through a classical scalar field, the corresponding trajectories are strongly unstable. This implies that an extreme fine tuning must apply to the initial values of the field in order to end up today with values allowed by observational data.

description: The producer, consumer, and environmental impacts of a counterfactual of ShB-resistant rice production were calculated using data from U.S. county-level rice production in the Mid-South and simulated Sheath Blight (ShB) infection and yield-loss rates. Results indicate a $43 million increase in consumer surplus via ShB alleviation, with enough additional rice produced to feed 1.7 million people. A life cycle assessment (LCA) also shows that the counterfactual has lower environmental impacts than the status quo of ShB-prone rice production. These estimates provide important economic and environmental information to donors, policy makers, and breeding programs globally on the importance of increasing and maintaining genetic disease resistance.

We review how a geometric interpretation of minimal string theory emerges naturally from the study of the D-branes. This simple geometric picture ties together many otherwise unrelated features of minimal string theory, and it leads directly to a worldsheet derivation of the dual matrix model.

description: The optimal power flow (OPF) problem, as a critical component of power system operations, becomes increasingly difficult to solve due to the variability, intermittency, and unpredictability of renewable energy brought to the power system. Although traditional optimization techniques, such as stochastic and robust optimization approaches, could be leveraged to address the OPF problem, in the face of renewable energy uncertainty, i.e., the dynamic coefficients in the optimization model, their effectiveness in dealing with large-scale problems remains limited. As a result, deep learning techniques, such as neural networks, have recently been developed to improve computational efficiency in solving OPF problems with the utilization of data. However, the feasibility and optimality of the solution may not be guaranteed, and the system dynamics cannot be properly addressed as well. In this paper, we propose an optimization model-informed generative adversarial network (MI-GAN) framework to solve OPF under uncertainty. The main contributions are summarized into three aspects: (1) to ensure feasibility and improve optimality of generated solutions, three important layers are proposed: feasibility filter layer, comparison layer, and gradient-guided layer; (2) in the GAN-based framework, an efficient model-informed selector incorporating these three new layers is established; and (3) a new recursive iteration algorithm is also proposed to improve solution optimality and handle the system dynamics. The numerical results on IEEE test systems show that the proposed method is very effective and promising.
title: Identification and validation of target pathways influencing outcome after traumatic brain injury
Creators: name: Ferguson, Scott Allen
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2012

description: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) involves both an initial primary insult to the brain and a delayed secondary injury in the hours and days thereafter. The delayed nature of secondary brain injury leaves open the possibility for a window of therapeutic intervention to prevent neurodegeneration. As there are currently no approved drugs for the treatment and prevention of secondary injury after TBI, my approach has been to first identify molecular pathways associated with a differential outcome from injury, followed by validation of these pathways by targeting them with a variety of therapeutic strategies ranging from genetic manipulation to novel drug compounds, and dietary supplementation. The Apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene has three major alleles, APOE2, APOE3 and APOE4, the latter of which confers risk for poor outcome following TBI. Using quantitative Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, large proteomic datasets can be generated, and the difference in protein expression in response to TBI between transgenic mice expressing APOE3 or APOE4 can reveal changes that reflect a "better" or "worse" outcome, respectively. Analyzing such datasets from APOE3 and APOE4 transgenic mice at a wide range of time points, we examined the differential response to TBI and identified several protein pathways of interest, including: CD40 signaling, NF-kB signaling, and APP related proteins. Optimizing several behavioral I testing paradigms (Rotarod, Morris Water Maze, and Barnes Maze), we characterized spatial memory and motor function deficits resulting from TBI in order to quantify a "good" or "poor" response. Using a variety of targeted intervention strategies (CD40L knockout, administration of (-)-Nllvadipine, or anatabine) to modulate the protein pathways of interest, we showed improvement in response to TBI. Overall, these experiments provide demonstrate the effectiveness of using a systems biology approach to find potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

description: The article is concerned with the large and continuous growth of “welfare state” expenditures. It analyses the reasons for the emergence of the welfare state and its impact on economic growth. The work is intended as a diagnosis of this growth since 1883, examining the causal forces behind expansion and its impact in mitigating the social conflicts which Marx detected in the first decades of modern capitalist development. Also considered is whether the welfare state has reached dysfunctional limits which impede economic performance. The author augments the historical record with cross-country analysis of development in the five big capitalist economies plus the Netherlands, in order to assemble convincing evidence. JEL: H53, I38

Non-Riemannian vortex geometry of rotational viscous fluids and breaking of the acoustic Lorentz invariance

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Acoustic torsion recently introduced in the literature (Garcia de Andrade,PRD(2004),7,64004) is extended to rotational incompressible viscous fluids represented by the generalised Navier-Stokes equation. The fluid background is compared with the Riemann-Cartan massless scalar wave equation, allowing for the generalization of Unruh acoustic metric in the form of acoustic torsion, expressed in terms of viscosity, velocity and vorticity of the fluid. In this work the background vorticity is nonvanishing but the perturbation of the flow is also rotational which avoids the problem of contamination of the irrotational perturbation by the background vorticity. The acoustic Lorentz invariance is shown to be broken due to the presence of acoustic torsion in strong analogy with the Riemann-Cartan gravitational case presented recently by Kostelecky (PRD 69,2004,105009). An example of analog gravity describing acoustic metric is given based on the teleparallel loop where the acoustic torsion is given by the Lense-Thirring rotation and the acoustic line element corresponds to the Lense-Thirring metric.

description: Machine learning methods were applied to reconsider the results of several passive seismic experiments in Finland. We created datasets from different stages of the receiver function technique and processed them with one of basic machine learning algorithms. All the results were obtained uniformly with the $k$-nearest neighbors algorithm. The first result is the Moho depth map of the region. Another result is the delineation of the near-surface low $S$-wave velocity layer. There are three such areas in the Northern, Southern, and central parts of the region. The low $S$-wave velocity in the Northern and Southern areas can be linked to the geological structure. However, we attribute the central low $S$-wave velocity area to a large number of water-saturated cracks in the upper 1-5 km. Analysis of the structure of this area leads us to the conclusion that macrofracturing was caused by the last deglaciation.

The authors first provide an assessment of the current situation before focusing on the characteristics of a fiscal policy-led recovery. They then turn to the appreciation of the dollar before looking at the policy options open to Europe, arguing that a temporary and modulated fiscal expansion still appears both desirable and feasible.

description: The TWIST Collaboration has measured the Michel parameter $ρ$ in normal muon decay, $μ^+ \to e^+ ν_e \barν_μ$. In the Standard Model, $ρ$ = 3/4. Deviations from this value require mixing of left- and right-handed muon and electron couplings in the muon-decay Lagrangian. We find $ρ$ = 0.75080 $\pm$ 0.00044(stat.) $\pm$ 0.00093(syst.) $\pm$ 0.00023, where the last uncertainty represents the dependence of $ρ$ on the Michel parameter $η$. This result sets new limits on the $W_L-W_R$ mixing angle in left-right symmetric models.

description: Adopting drought tolerant plants (DTPs) to conserve water is a potential adaptation to the predicted effects of climate change in the Midwest. Survey responses from 624 Missouri households were analyzed using a univariate probit model. DTP adoption was positively correlated with both low and high household incomes, living in rural subdivisions, time spent gardening, pro-environment attitudes, and concerns about drought. Policy interventions in newly drought-prone areas might include subsidizing the up-front cost of DTPs, requiring their use in new housing developments so DTPs are the default for buyers, and targeted educational efforts to environmental and gardening groups and rural residents.

description: Sleep has been shown to be an indispensable and important component of patients recovery process. Nonetheless, sleep quality of patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is often low, due to factors such as noise, pain, and frequent nursing care activities. Frequent sleep disruptions by the medical staff and/or visitors at certain times might lead to disruption of patient sleep-wake cycle and can also impact the severity of pain. Examining the association between sleep quality and frequent visitation has been difficult, due to lack of automated methods for visitation detection. In this study, we recruited 38 patients to automatically assess visitation frequency from captured video frames. We used the DensePose R-CNN (ResNet-101) model to calculate the number of people in the room in a video frame. We examined when patients are interrupted the most, and we examined the association between frequent disruptions and patient outcomes on pain and length of stay.

description: In the no-core shell model formalism we compute effective one- and two-body operators, using the Lee-Suzuki procedure within the two-body cluster approximation. We evaluate the validity of the latter through calculations in reduced model spaces. In particular, we test the results for the two-body system and find that indeed the effective operators in the reduced space reproduce the expectation values or transition strengths computed in the full space. On the other hand, the renormalization for operators in the case of 6Li is very weak, suggesting the need for higher-body clusters in computing the effective interaction.

title: Establishing cost-effective safety management for major oil and gas exploitation projects in the design phase

description: Disasters such as Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, in April 2010, continue to blight the oil and gas industry despite a significant amount of research effort carried out by academia, regulatory bodies, and oil and gas companies to understand how safety-related incidents, especially disasters, can be prevented. While these have contributed to the discussion around reducing risk, they often lack the systemic influences that determine the value drivers affecting decision-making, and the ability to achieve continuous and sustainable improvements in safety performance. Consequently, this research aims to provide a more holistic approach to understanding the nature of disasters in the oil and gas industry, and identifying how future disasters can be prevented by establishing "more cost-effective strategies. Quantitative research was carried out to determine the type and validity of the data used to construct trends in major accident safety performance, and qualitative research was carried out to assess the key factors that influence safety performance, and whether these are effectively applied. The conclusions of this research are that the industry has not demonstrated effective implementation of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OH&S-MSj. Historically safety performance shows wide annual variations where trends are difficult to define and extrapolate, making it difficult to provide any significant benefit for major accident prevention. There is no evidence to indicate that moving from a prescriptive, to a goal-setting regime, has improved safety performance, and reduced the prospect of future major accidents. Disaster investigation reports have shown that the role of the regulator has been ineffective. However, the adoption of a more comprehensive, and effective approach to inherently safer designs, and the way projects are managed, have the potential to make safety management more cost-effective and reduce the prospect of future disasters.

Subjects: subject: Städtebau
subject: Architektur
subject: Landschaftsarchitektur

description: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist ein Entwurfsprojekt, das an den Bestand des Gutes Guggenthal angepasst ist. Bei der Neu- und Umgestaltung dieses kulturellen, historischen Ensembles sollen städtebauliche, architektonische und landschaftsplanerische Fragen beantwortet werden, die an realistische, nachhaltige und ästhetische Entwicklungspotenziale gekoppelt sind. Durch behutsames, aber auch entschlossenes Eingreifen soll die bestehende Bausubstanz verbessert, weiterentwickelt, aber vor allem reaktiviert werden. Dadurch tritt im Entwurf Historisches schlussendlich mit Zeitgenössischem in Dialog. Durch historische und räumliche Analyse, mit Einbeziehung bisheriger Revitalisierungsversuche, soll ein zeitgemäßes und realistisches Nutzungskonzept und Raumprogramm gefunden werden, wobei der architektonische Ausdruck die Hauptaufgabe bleiben soll. Begehungen, vorhandenes Planmaterial und Archivaushebungen, sowie Gespräche mit verschiedenen Akteuren trugen zu Entscheidungsfindungsprozessen bei. Als Resultat ist eine Diplomarbeit entstanden, welche vorangegangene Analysen, generelle Informationsaufbereitungen, den Ideenfindungs- und Entwurfsprozess sowie die detaillierte Ausarbeitung des Projekts textlich und grafisch beschreibt.
description: The aim of this work is a design project, which is adapted to the exisiting Gut Guggenthal. With the reuse and redefinition of the historic ensemble, questions of urbansim, architecture and landscape design should be raised combined to the realistic, sustainable and aesthetic development potentials. Through a gentle but pragmatic intervention, exisiting architecture should be redefind, reactivated and further developed. Through-out this, the exisiting should get into a correspondence with the newly added. Through historic and spatial analysis including try outs of earlier refurbishments contemporary and realistic, usable concept should be found where architectural expression stay in a key role of design. Visits, exisiting materials and archive research as well as talks with different interessted people helped to contribute to the process. As a result of this, the diploma-work describes former analysis, its display, the process of idea finding and design and nonetheless the detailed elaboration in text and image of this revitalisation.
The growth of public debt in Italy: past experience, perspectives and policy problems
Creators: name: SPAVENTA, L.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Italy, public debt, financial innovation, monetary policy, fiscal policy
subject: H63, E52, E62

description: The work surveys the Italian experience with reference to growth and public debt. It does not seek to test conflicting views, as the effects of some financial and policy innovations are too recent and some data is of poor quality. Rather, its more limited scope is to draw on past experience and, more importantly, assess future prospects in order to discuss some problems regarding both fiscal and monetary policy. The author examines debt formation with reference to borrowing requirements, their composition and their adjusted measure, before taking into consideration financing policies pursued by the authorities and the changes in the composition, ownership and cost of debt. Finally, possible future developments and some connected policy problems are examined. JEL: H63, E52, E62

description: This study uses an experimental auction and a discrete choice experiment to determine consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for rice with improved insect control and for rice stored using Integrated Pest Management and investigates potential reasons—anchoring and information—why some studies have found inconsistencies between the two methods. Results indicate that WTP estimates from the choice experiment are lower than consumers’ average auction bids. Anchoring in the choice experiment appears to be an explanation for the discrepancy. Providing consumers with additional information about the products improved choice experiment results, producing consistent preference ordering and increasing WTP estimates.
A note on the Italian public debt
Creators: name: GIAVAZZI, F.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Italy, public debt, dynamic instability, policy, fiscal contraction
subject: H63

description: The work deals with the current level and growth rate of Italy’s public debt. First, by looking at the evidence available, the author establishes the causes of the rapid growth in public debt, and the extent to which the Italian experience has been shared by other European countries. The issue of dynamic instability is then addressed. Finally, the author attempts to answer the question whether a fiscal contraction now is indeed a reasonable policy option. JEL: H63

description: A recent result of Cioabă, Dewar and Gu implies that any $k$-regular Ramanujan graph with $k\geq 8$ is globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^2$. In this paper, we extend these results and prove that any $k$-regular Ramanujan graph of sufficiently large order is globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^2$ when $k\in \{6, 7\}$, and when $k\in \{4,5\}$ if it is also vertex-transitive. These results imply that the Ramanujan graphs constructed by Morgenstern in 1994 are globally rigid. We also prove several results on other types of framework rigidity, including body-bar rigidity, body-hinge rigidity, and rigidity on surfaces of revolution. In addition, we use computational methods to determine which Ramanujan graphs of small order are globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^2$.

description: Analysis of the radio-metric tracking data from the Pioneer 10/11 spacecraft at distances between 20--70 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun has consistently indicated the presence of an anomalous, small, constant Doppler frequency drift. The drift is a blue-shift, uniformly changing with rate a_t = (2.92 +/- 0.44) x 10^(-18) s/s^2. It can also be interpreted as a constant acceleration of a_P = (8.74 +/- 1.33) x 10^(-8) cm/s^2 directed towards the Sun. Although it is suspected that there is a systematic origin to the effect, none has been found. As a result, the nature of this anomaly has become of growing interest. Here we discuss the details of our recent investigation focusing on the effects both external to and internal to the spacecraft, as well as those due to modeling and computational techniques. We review some of the mechanisms proposed to explain the anomaly and show their inability to account for the observed behavior of the anomaly. We also present lessons learned from this investigation for a potential deep-space experiment that will reveal the origin of the discovered anomaly and also will characterize its properties with an accuracy of at least two orders of magnitude below the anomaly's size. A number of critical requirements and design considerations for such a mission are outlined and addressed.

description: Object recognition is an essential capability when performing various tasks. Humans naturally use either or both visual and tactile perception to extract object class and properties. Typical approaches for robots, however, require complex visual systems or multiple high-density tactile sensors which can be highly expensive. In addition, they usually require actual collection of a large dataset from real objects through direct interaction. In this paper, we propose a kinesthetic-based object recognition method that can be performed with any multi-fingered robotic hand in which the kinematics is known. The method does not require tactile sensors and is based on observing grasps of the objects. We utilize a unique and frame invariant parameterization of grasps to learn instances of object shapes. To train a classifier, training data is generated rapidly and solely in a computational process without interaction with real objects. We then propose and compare between two iterative algorithms that can integrate any trained classifier. The classifiers and algorithms are independent of any particular robot hand and, therefore, can be exerted on various ones. We show in experiments, that with few grasps, the algorithms acquire accurate classification. Furthermore, we show that the object recognition approach is scalable to objects of various sizes. Similarly, a global classifier is trained to identify general geometries (e.g., an ellipsoid or a box) rather than particular ones and demonstrated on a large set of objects. Full scale experiments and analysis are provided to show the performance of the method.
Convergence, divergence and realignment in British macroeconomics
Creators: name: COBHAM, D.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: British macroeconomics. Keynesianism, Monetarism, U.K.
subject: E12, E13

description: In this paper the author argues that the still frequent and simplistic distinction between Keynesians and monetarists that makes up a large part of the British popular economic debate has become seriously misleading. Changes that have taken place in British macroeconomics since the early 1970s are thus indicated and some of the theoretical and empirical factors responsible for these changes are suggested. The author presents a brief characterisation of British Keynesianism and monetarism as of late 1960s/early 1970s, arguing that there have been important elements of convergence. He proceeds to discuss some of the theoretical developments and some of the experiences of UK macroeconomic policy which have contributed to this convergence. Finally, he considers whether the labels “Keynesian” and “monetarist” continue to be relevant.
