description: Nearly 20% of short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs) have no observed host galaxies. Combining this finding with constraints on galaxies' dark matter halo potential wells gives strong limits on the natal kick velocity distribution for sGRB progenitors. For the best-fitting velocity distribution, one in five sGRB progenitors receives a natal kick above 150 km/s, consistent with merging neutron star models but not with merging white dwarf binary models. This progenitor model constraint is robust to a wide variety of systematic uncertainties, including the sGRB progenitor time-delay model, the Swift redshift sensitivity, and the shape of the natal kick velocity distribution. We also use constraints on the galaxy-halo connection to determine the host halo and host galaxy demographics for sGRBs, which match extremely well with available data. Most sGRBs are expected to occur in halos near 10^12 Msun and in galaxies near 5x10^10 Msun (L_*); unobserved faint and high-redshift host galaxies contribute a small minority of the observed hostless sGRB fraction. We find that sGRB redshift distributions and host galaxy stellar masses weakly constrain the progenitor time-delay model; the active vs. passive fraction of sGRB host galaxies may offer a stronger constraint. Finally, we discuss how searches for gravitational wave optical counterparts in the local Universe can reduce followup times using these findings.

Data Analytics and Distribution Function Estimation via Mean Absolute Deviation: Nonparametric Approach
Creators: name: H. Elamir, Elsayed A.
Publisher: name: REVSTAT-Statistical Journal
Year: 2025

description: Mean absolute deviation function is used to explore the pattern and the distribution of the data graphically to enable analysts gaining greater understanding of raw data and to foster a quick and a deep understanding of the data as an important basis for successful data analytics. Furthermore, new nonparametric approaches for estimating the cumulative distribution function based on the mean absolute deviation function are proposed. These new approaches are meant to be a general nonparametric class that includes the empirical distribution function as a special case. Simulation study reveals that the Richardson extrapolation approach has a major improvement in terms of average squared errors over the classical empirical estimators and has comparable results with smooth approaches such as cubic spline and constrained linear spline for practically small samples. The properties of the proposed estimators are studied. Moreover, the Richardson approach has been applied to real data analysis and has been used to estimate the hazardous concentration five percent.

description: In the present work we propose survival copula entropy as an alternative to Shannon entropy, cumulative residual entropy and copula entropy measures in computing the uncertainty in bivariate populations. We examine the relationships between the various measures. The properties of survival copula entropy are discussed, especially its applications to ascertain the nature and extent of uncertainty among copulas.

description: These Sessional Clippings books cover the period 1891 to 1972, and include newspaper accounts written by various legislative reporters who covered debates occurring in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC. The print volumes were microfilmed onto 26 reels in 1977 under a Tri University Libraries (TRIUL) project by Precision Micrographic Services (Vancouver, B.C.), with the permission of the Legislative Library, Victoria, British Columbia. This digital collection was created by scanning the 26 microfilm reels.

Effects of concavity on the motion of a body immersed in a Vlasov gas

description: We consider a body immersed in a perfect gas, moving under the action of a constant force $E$ along the $ x $ axis . We assume the gas to be described by the mean-field approximation and interacting elastically with the body. Such a dynamic was studied in previous papers In these studies the asymptotic trend showed no sensitivity whatsoever to the shape of the object moving through the gas. In this work we investigate how a simple concavity in the shape of the body can affect its asymptotic behavior; we thus consider the case of hollow cylinder in three dimensions or a box-like body in two dimensions. We study the approach of the body velocity $V (t) $ to the limiting velocity $V_{\infty} $ and prove that, under suitable smallness assumptions, the approach to equilibrium is $| V_{\infty}-V(t)| \approx C t^{-3} $ both in two or three dimensions, being $C$ a positive constant. This approach is not exponential, as typical in friction problems, and even slower than for the simple disk and the convex body in $ \mathbb{R}^2 $ or $ \mathbb{R}^3 $.

description: Data mining environment produces a large amount of data, that need to be analyzed, patterns have to be extracted from that to gain knowledge. In this new era with boom of data both structured and unstructured, in the field of genomics, meteorology, biology, environmental research and many others, it has become difficult to process, manage and analyze patterns using traditional databases and architectures. So, a proper architecture should be understood to gain knowledge about the Big Data. This paper presents a review of various algorithms from 1994-2013 necessary for handling such large data set. These algorithms define various structures and methods implemented to handle Big Data, also in the paper are listed various tool that were developed for analyzing them.

description: We present optical imaging and spectroscopy and HI imaging of the Virgo Cluster galaxy IC 3418, which is likely a "smoking gun" example of the transformation of a dwarf irregular into a dwarf elliptical galaxy by ram pressure stripping. IC 3418 has a spectacular 17 kpc length UV-bright tail comprised of knots, head-tail, and linear stellar features. The only H-alpha emission arises from a few HII regions in the tail, the brightest of which are at the heads of head-tail UV sources whose tails point toward the galaxy ("fireballs"). Several of the elongated tail sources have H-alpha peaks outwardly offset by 80-150 pc from the UV peaks, suggesting that gas clumps continue to accelerate through ram pressure, leaving behind streams of newly formed stars which have decoupled from the gas. Absorption line strengths, measured from Keck DEIMOS spectra, together with UV colors, show star formation stopped 300+/-100 Myr ago in the main body, and a strong starburst occurred prior to quenching. While neither H-alpha nor HI emission are detected in the main body of the galaxy, we have detected 4x10^7 M_sun of HI from the tail with the VLA. The gas consumption timescale in the tail is relatively long, implying that most of the stripped gas does not form stars but joins the ICM. The velocities of tail HII regions, measured from Keck LRIS spectra, extend only a small fraction of the way to the cluster velocity, suggesting that star formation does not happen in more distant parts of the tail. Stars in the outer tail have velocities exceeding the escape speed, but some in the inner tail should fall back into the galaxy, forming halo streams. One likely fallback stream is identified.

description: This Article is principally concerned with a question that seems not to have been much asked in these debates: whether, and in what ways, the stresses on the Court might be manifesting themselves in its opinions and, particularly, in doctrine. It starts with a brief presentation of the Court's well-known caseload problems, presenting them in relation to the overall dimensions of the judicial system in the United States. Looking beyond the Court's success in identifying and resolving particular, actual conflicts among the lower courts, this perspective treats as the central problem of interest the Court's shrinking opportunity to contribute discipline, cohesion and control to the nation's law. The essay then examines three different respects in which it might be thought the natural limits on the Court's opportunities to speak are shaping the character of the legal order.

description: A scalar field equivalent to a non-ideal "dark energy fluid" obeying a Shan-Chen-like equation of state is used as the background source of a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological spacetime to describe the inflationary epoch of our universe. Within the slow-roll approximation, a number of interesting features are presented, including the possibility to fulfill current observational constraints as well as a graceful exit mechanism from the inflationary epoch.
description: 9 pages, 5 figures; published version. The title has been changed. A new section (Section III A) has been added describing the main features of the Shan-Chen equation of state in the original context wherein it has been introduced. The stability issue of the model is also discussed in the Appendix

description: We are interested in consistent estimation of the mixing matrix in the ICA model, when the error distribution is close to (but different from) Gaussian. In particular, we consider $n$ independent samples from the ICA model $X = Aε$, where we assume that the coordinates of $ε$ are independent and identically distributed according to a contaminated Gaussian distribution, and the amount of contamination is allowed to depend on $n$. We then investigate how the ability to consistently estimate the mixing matrix depends on the amount of contamination. Our results suggest that in an asymptotic sense, if the amount of contamination decreases at rate $1/\sqrt{n}$ or faster, then the mixing matrix is only identifiable up to transpose products. These results also have implications for causal inference from linear structural equation models with near-Gaussian additive noise.

On the Hubble Space Telescope Trigonometric Parallax of the Dwarf Nova SS Cygni

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: SS Cygni is one of the brightest dwarf novae (DNe), and one of the best-studied prototypes of the cataclysmic variables. Astrometric observations with the Fine Guidance Sensors (FGS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), published in 2004, gave an absolute trigonometric parallax of 6.06+/-0.44 mas. However, recent very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI), obtained during radio outbursts of SS Cyg, has yielded a significantly larger absolute parallax of 8.80+/-0.12 mas, as well as a large difference in the direction of the proper motion compared to the HST result. The VLBI distance reduces the implied luminosity of SS Cyg by about a factor of two, giving good agreement with predictions based on accretion-disk theory in order to explain the observed DN outburst behavior. This discrepancy raises the possibility of significant systematic errors in FGS parallaxes and proper motions. We have reanalyzed the archival HST/FGS data, including (1) a critical redetermination of the parallaxes of the background astrometric reference stars, (2) updated input values of the reference-star proper motions, and (3) correction of the position measurements for color-dependent shifts. Our new analysis yields a proper motion of SS Cyg that agrees well with the VLBI motion, and an absolute parallax of 8.30+/-0.41 mas, also statistically concordant with the VLBI result at the ~1.2 sigma level. Our results suggest that HST/FGS parallaxes are free of large systematic errors, when the data are reduced using high-quality input values for the astrometry of the reference stars, and when instrumental signatures are properly removed.

description: Transitional societies must contend with a range of complex challenges as they seek to come to terms with and move beyond an immediate past saturated with mass murder, rape, torture, exploitation, disappearance, displacement, starvation, and all other manner of human suffering. Questions of justice figure prominently in these transitional moments, and they do so in a dual fashion that is at once backward and forward looking. Successor governments must think creatively about building institutions that bring justice to the past, while at the same time demonstrate a commitment that justice will form a bedrock of governance in the present and future. This is no easy task, and shortcuts, both in dealing with the past and in building a just future, often appear irresistible. In Martha Minow’s words, justice at this juncture amounts to replacing “violence with words and terror with fairness,” and steering a “path between too much memory and too much forgetting.”

The template of mechanisms available to undertake transitional justice are familiar to those who work in this field: prosecutions (domestic and international); truth and reconciliation commissions; lustration (the shaming and banning of perpetrators from public office); public access to police, military and other governmental records; public apology; public memorials; reburial of victims; compensation or reparation to victims and/or their families (in the form of money, land, or other resources); literary and historical writing; and blanket or individualized amnesty. In most cases, justice demands the deployment of a number of these tools, given that no one of them can adequately address and repair the injuries of the past nor chart a fully just future. Transitional justice will always be both incomplete and messy.

description: Voting lies at the center of collective decision-making in corporate law. While scholars have identified various problems with the voting mechanism, insincere voting—in the forms of strategic voting and conflict of interests voting—is perhaps the most fundamental. This article shows that insincere voting distorts the voting mechanism at its core, undermining its ability to determine transaction efficiency. As further demonstrated, strategic and conflict of interests problems frequently coincide with one another: voting strategically often means being in conflict, and many fact patterns present aspects of both problems. Finally, this article claims that although the two problems have seemingly different solutions, these solutions are essentially similar in nature: all solutions to insincere voting are variations on two basic rules, namely, property rules and liability rules.

description: Parametrically excited solitary waves emerge as localized structures in high-aspect-ratio free surfaces subject to vertical vibrations. Herein, we provide the first experimental characterization of the hydrodynamics of these waves using Particle Image Velocimetry. We show that the underlying velocity field of parametrically excited solitary waves is mainly composed by an oscillatory velocity field. Our results confirm the accuracy of Hamiltonian models with added dissipation in describing this field. Remarkably, our measurements also uncover the onset of a streaming velocity field which is shown to be as important as other crucial nonlinear terms in the current theory. The observed streaming pattern is particularly interesting due to the presence of oscillatory meniscii.

description: This work extends the seminal work of Gottfried on the two-body quantum physics of particles interacting through a delta-shell potential to many-body physics by studying a system of non-relativistic particles when the thermal De-Broglie wavelength of a particle is smaller than the range of the potential and the density is such that average distance between particles is smaller than the range. The ability of the delta-shell potential to reproduce some basic properties of the deuteron are examined. Relations for moments of bound states are derived. The virial expansion is used to calculate the first quantum correction to the ideal gas pressure in the form of the second virial coefficient. Additionally, all thermodynamic functions are calculated up to the first order quantum corrections. For small departures from equilibrium, the net flows of mass, energy and momentum, characterized by the coefficients of diffusion, thermal conductivity and shear viscosity, respectively, are calculated. Properties of the gas are examined for various values of physical parameters including the case of infinite scattering length when the unitary limit is achieved.

description: Heavy quarks produced in pp and heavy ion collisions are studied using heavy-flavour decay electrons and heavy-flavour mesons. Detailed understanding of the production processes and fragmentation of heavy quarks can be obtained by studying the azimuthal angular correlation of heavy-flavour hadrons. The azimuthal angular correlations of heavy-flavour mesons and charged hadrons can be used to disentangle charm and beauty-hadrons in pp collisions. In this contribution the fraction of electrons from beauty-hadron decays in the heavy-flavour decay electron yield is shown as well as the beauty production cross section in pp collisions at $\sqrt\textrm{s}$ = 2.76 TeV. The measurements are compared to the predictions from next-to leading order perturbative QCD calculations. We also show the results from correlation analysis of charged $\mathrm{D}^{*}$ mesons and hadrons performed using pp collision data at $\sqrt{\textrm{s}}$ = 7 TeV.

Conflicts of Interest in Publicly-Traded and Closely-Held Corporations: A Comparative and Economic Analysis

description: Conflicts of interest in corporate law can be addressed by two main alternatives: a requirement of a majority of the minority vote or the imposition of duties of loyalty and fairness. A comparison of Delaware, the UK, Canada, and Israel reveals that while the conflicts of interest problem within publicly-traded corporations receives different treatment in the different jurisdictions — either a fairness rule or a majority of the minority rule — closely-held corporations receive the same treatment of an imposition of duties of loyalty and fairness. This article explains this finding, demonstrating that determining which of these rules is adopted is, in fact, a choice between liability rule protection and property rule protection. This choice depends on the total and relative transaction costs. These costs include both the negotiation costs attendant upon a property rule, as well as the adjudication costs associated with a liability rule. The sum of these costs is influenced by the efficacy of the judicial system and of extralegal mechanisms such as the market for corporate control, the capital market, and the types of investors active in the market. Because the different jurisdictions have different relative costs, due to differences in the economy and the legal systems, publicly-traded corporations are treated differently in each system. However, sometimes conflict of interest situations share the same main characteristics — as with closely-held corporations—leading to the domination of one solution, and thus the same solution is applied for closely-held corporations in the different jurisdictions.

description: The ultimate message of Nedelsky's book is that private property is a social institution, collectively defined and collectively enforced. Property is of course a social institution, not a natural right. But there is no inherent contradiction, as Nedelsky seems to believe there is, between the idea that property is a social institution and the idea that the law - another social institution - should protect reliance interests associated with specific property rights. Property is a social institution in the sense that it emerges from customary forms of interaction among people with respect to specific material resources, and then is defined and protected against private interference by state law. The constitutional protection of property is also a social institution, but it involves a different source of law (the federal Constitution rather than state law), different institutional actors (ultimately the federal courts), and different objectives (protecting specific entitlements against public rather than private interference). Thus, the fact that both processes are "social" does not mean that they collapse into a single undifferentiated mass. Moreover, neither the social origins of property as an institution, nor the social nature of the constitutional protections we recognize, tells us much about what collective measures may be adopted (at either the state or the federal level) to reallocate relative shares of fungible wealth. We are fortunate that the Founders of our nation, most prominently James Madison, understood these distinctions. What is puzzling is that so many contemporary American academics would like to obscure them.

description: Computed tomography (CT) has become very widely used in scientific and medical research and industry for its non-destructive and high-resolution means of detecting internal structure. 3D segmentation of computed tomography data sheds light on internal features of target objects. 3D segmentation of CT data is supported by various well-established software programs, but the powerful functionalities and capabilities of open-sourced software have not been fully revealed. Here, we present a new release of the open-source volume exploration, rendering and 3D segmentation software, Drishti v2.7. We introduce a new tool for thresholding volume data (i.e. gradient thresholding) and a protocol for performing 3D segmentation using the 3D Freeform Painter tool. These new tools and workflow enable more accurate and precise digital reconstruction, 3D modelling and 3D printing results. We use scan data of a fossil fish as a case study, but our procedure is widely applicable in biological, medical and industrial research.

description: The legitimacy of the Supreme Court is widely assumed to depend on the perception that its decisions are dictated by law. This is the central thesis of the extraordinary joint opinion in Planned Parenthood v. Casey,' decided by the Supreme Court at the end of the 1991 Term. The joint opinion observes that the Court's power lies in its legitimacy, and that its legitimacy is "a product of the substance and perception" that it is a court of law. Thus, frequent overrulings are to be avoided, because this would "overtax the country's belief' that the Court's rulings are grounded in law. Especially when a controversial ruling like Roe v. Wade is involved, a decision to overrule should be avoided at all costs, because this would give rise to the perception that the Court is "surrender[ing] to political pressure" or "over-nul[ing] under fire." Such a perception, in turn, would lead to "loss of confidence in the judiciary." Translated, the thesis of the joint opinion is that the further a decision deviates from the Constitution, the more important it is for the Court to adhere to that decision, or else the public may conclude that the emperor is wearing no clothes. If no hope can be expected from the Court on its own initiative, then what should persons who believe in judicial restraint and the rule of law do? One positive step would be to have the Federalist Society, which contains many individuals of this description, cease promoting the idea that legal questions have right answers. Instead, the Federalist Society should dedicate itself to promoting deconstructionism, Critical Legal Studies, feminism, Critical Race Theory, and the widest possible cacophony of liberal constitutional theories. The message conveyed by these enterprises is that the Supreme Court is a political institution. The more widespread this perception becomes, the closer will come the day when the Court behaves like a court of law.

description: Debates over the future of the civil service are usually couched in terms of a trade-off between accountability and impartiality. If that were all at stake, I would tend to take the accountability side, at least insofar as government lawyers are concerned. To put the matter in the larger framework so ably developed by my colleague Steve Calabresi in this symposium, government lawyers must serve as "advocates"and "ambassadors"for the incumbent Administration's political/legal viewpoints, and these roles surely require a strong dose of accountability-stronger than one ever gets from tenured lawyers. I have argued, however, that there should be another dimension to the debate: what might be called the trade-off between transience and stability. High level tenured lawyers bring a long-term perspective to legal problems that is lacking in political lawyers. This long-term perspective generates various forms of institutional capital associated with the values of predictability, consistency, protection of reliance interests, and respect for tradition. These values are especially important in matters of government. Government ultimately rests on coercion. With the threat of coercion in the background, legal arguments will be more persuasive if they are leavened with a healthy respect for continuity with the past. Thus, political lawyers will perform more effectively if they are backstopped by high-level tenured lawyers, who bring with them a natural tendency to promote continuity. This enhanced effectiveness applies, moreover, regardless of which function political lawyers are asked to perform-including advocating the President's constitutional vision.

description: The low exit costs that characterize financial markets are significantly responsible for the strange version of administrative law that applies to financial regulation. I do not intend to assert any deterministic thesis. History and path dependency clearly matter. It is unquestionably true, for example, that historical decisions such as that to include regional presidents of the Fed banks on the FOMC have had a lasting effect on the emergence of what appears to be a bizarre regulatory body. Nevertheless, the distinction between industries characterized by high versus low exit costs has considerable explanatory power, and can help explain not only why financial regulation includes so many exceptions to ordinary precepts of administrative law, but also why financial regulation suffers from a general deficit of accountability and transparency. The concept of exit costs may have broader explanatory implications as well. It can help explain the demise of railroad-rate regulation and the significant deregulation in other transportation industries, because the development of competitive alternatives dramatically lowered the exit costs to consumers in these industries. It can also help explain the demise of labor unions in manufacturing, given the reduced costs of exit from domestic manufacturing production associated with globalized trade. Attention to exit costs also reveals that process-intensive administrative law may be possible, even in industries whose technologies otherwise are characterized by low exit costs, provided that the government has other ways to control entrance in and exit from a market. In the end, however, I would not bet against the ingenuity of the finance industry in figuring out how to work around these kinds of efforts to corral financial assets.

description: Professor Joseph Sax's scholarship on the Takings Clause combines the craft of a first-class lawyer with the passion of a visionary. His scholarship reflects a deep understanding of Supreme Court case law, legal history, and the practical dimensions of various kinds of land use disputes. Yet his work on takings is not animated by any desire for mere doctrinal tidiness. It is driven by a distinctive vision -- one in which the earth's resources are becoming increasingly interconnected and in which there is an increasing need for the government to resolve conflicts regarding the use of these resources. Each of his writings on the Takings Clause, be it a law review article, speech, or book review, offers fresh insights in response to unfolding developments in compensation law. This Article proceeds as follows. First, I describe Professor Sax's scholarship on the Takings Clause, organizing that work into four clusters defined both chronologically and by institutional affiliation. Then I examine certain recurring themes in the scholarship and consider how those themes develop (or fail to develop) over time. Finally, I focus more closely on Professor Sax's conviction that a proper understanding of the Takings Clause requires a redefinition of "property" and suggest that this premise may not be necessary to promote some of his underlying objectives.
