description: The increase in energy prices between 2004 and 2007 has several potential consequences for aggregate agriculture in the U.S. We estimate the derived input demand elasticities for energy as well as capital, labor, and materials using the differential supply formulation. Given that the derived input demand for energy is inelastic, it is more price-responsive than the other inputs. The results also indicate that the U.S. aggregate agricultural supply function is responsive to energy prices.
Unveiling complex magnetic field configurations in red giant stars

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Asteroseismology
subject: magnetic-activity

description: Probing the strength and topology of stellar internal magnetic fields is crucial in addressing the angular momentum transport problem in stars, which critically affects stellar evolution and age. Dipolar modes of stellar oscillations allow us to probe the magnetic field strength inside the radiative region of red giant stars. However, various magnetic field topologies can lead to the same signature in data leading to what we call a topology degeneracy, strongly impacting our ability to evaluate the impact of magnetism on angular momentum transport. Therefore, we study a mixed dipolar and quadrupolar magnetic field confined in the radiative interior of a red giant star and show how to unambiguously infer parameters such as (1) the ratio between dipolar and quadrupolar field strengths and (2) the inclination angles of the dipolar and quadrupolar components with respect to the rotation axis. To do so, we demonstrate the complementary sensitivity of dipolar and quadrupolar oscillation modes to the complexity of the magnetic field topology. Such access to magnetic field topologies inside the core of red giants from a combined study of dipolar and quadrupolar oscillation modes would result in a very strong impact on our understanding of angular momentum transport inside stars, and therefore on the current global picture of stellar evolution. Furthermore, we discuss how an inclination of the star's rotation axis compared to our line of sight affects the visibility of the magnetic signature in asteroseismic data. This observation bias, combined with intrinsic visibilities of the magnetic signature depending on the topology, explains why magnetic fields are difficult to characterize for a significant fraction of stars.

description: Using functional renormalization group methods, we present a self-consistent calculation of the true Fermi momenta k_F^a (antibonding band) and k_F^b (bonding band) of two spinless interacting metallic chains coupled by small interchain hopping. In the regime where the system is a Luttinger liquid, we find that Delta = k_F^b - k_F^a is self-consistently determined by Delta = Delta_{1} [ 1 + {g}_0^2 ln (Lambda_0 / Delta)^2]^{-1} where g_0 is the dimensionless interchain backscattering interaction, Delta_{1} is the Hartree-Fock result for k_F^{b}-k_F^a, and Lambda_0 is an ultraviolet cutoff. If {g}_0^2 ln (Lambda_0 / Delta_{1})^2 is much larger than unity than even weak interachain backscattering leads to a strong reduction of the distance between the Fermi momenta.

description: Machinery-sharing provides an alternative for smaller producers to obtain the efficiencies of large farming operations and remain competitive in an increasingly concentrated agricultural industry. This research uses a multiple case study design to examine the motivations for sharing equipment and labor among farms and to better understand how group members handle the transaction costs of sharing. Our case evidence finds that in addition to cost savings, access to reliable labor is an important motivation for participating in a sharing arrangement. Trust and frequent communication among group members helps to minimize the transaction costs incurred from sharing.

In doing so, this study uses multivariate cointegration and structural analyses. Multivariate cointegration analysis suggests that six imported seafood product groupings form a common market with domestic catfish. Structural analysis reveals that 1) domestic and imported catfish are net and gross quantity substitutes; 2) domestic catfish and imported seafood are normal goods; 3) six imported seafood products are identified as gross quantity substitutes for domestic catfish; and 4) according to the derived Allais coefficients, interaction intensities of imported seafood for domestic catfish (from greatest to least) are as follows: tuna, shrimp, salmon, tilapia, catfish, and trout.

description: We introduce DISTAL, a compiler for dense tensor algebra that targets modern distributed and heterogeneous systems. DISTAL lets users independently describe how tensors and computation map onto target machines through separate format and scheduling languages. The combination of choices for data and computation distribution creates a large design space that includes many algorithms from both the past (e.g., Cannon's algorithm) and the present (e.g., COSMA). DISTAL compiles a tensor algebra domain specific language to a distributed task-based runtime system and supports nodes with multi-core CPUs and multiple GPUs. Code generated by DISTAL is competitive with optimized codes for matrix multiply on 256 nodes of the Lassen supercomputer and outperforms existing systems by between 1.8x to 3.7x (with a 45.7x outlier) on higher order tensor operations.
Observation of Double Parton Scattering Same-Sign $W^\pm W^\pm$ Using the ATLAS Detector at $\sqrt s = 13$ TeV

description: Double Parton Scattering (DPS) is the interaction of two hard processes within proton-proton collisions. This dissertation presents the observation of DPS with same-sign \ssww production with the 140 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ dataset at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV using the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Neural networks are trained to separate DPS \ssww events from other backgrounds to enhance sensitivity. A binned maximum likelihood function of the neural network outputs is utilized to extract the cross section. The DPS \ssww process is observed at ATLAS with a $8.7\sigma$ significance. The measured fiducial DPS \ssww cross section is $4.68 \pm 0.67~\mathrm{fb}$ and a total cross section with the $W^\pm$ boson decaying leptonically is $\sigma = 108 \pm 16 ~\mathrm{fb}$ at ATLAS. The DPS effective cross section is measured to be $\sigma_{\mathrm{eff}}=9.1 \pm 1.3 ~\mathrm{mb}$.

description: Time-resolved Faraday rotation studies of CdS/CdSe/CdS quantum-dot quantum wells have recently shown that the Faraday rotation angle exhibits several well-defined resonances as a function of probe energy close to the absorption edge. Here, we calculate the Faraday rotation angle from the eigenstates of the quantum-dot quantum well obtained with k.p theory. We show that the large number of narrow resonances with comparable spectral weight observed in experiment is not reproduced by the level scheme of a quantum-dot quantum well with perfect spherical symmetry. A simple model for broken spherical symmetry yields results in better qualitative agreement with experiment.

Role of Autism Spectrum Disorder Associated Shank3 in Regulation of Synaptic Scaling
Creators: name: Guerrero, Andrea
Publisher: name: Brandeis University
Year: 2025
Subjects: Biological Sciences

description: Synaptic scaling is an important form of homeostatic plasticity that bidirectionally adjusts postsynaptic strengths to keep neuronal activity close to a homeostatic set point. Synaptic scaling is defective in a number of monogenic rodent models of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs), including loss of function of the multidomain synaptic scaffolding protein Shank3. In work that I contributed to, our lab established that phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of Shank3 at two key sites, S1586/S1615, blocks synaptic scaling up and down, respectively (Chapter 2, Wu et al., 2022). This study left unresolved what molecular mechanisms downstream of Shank3 dephosphorylation are necessary for the expression of synaptic scaling up. To first characterize my synaptic scaling up protocol, I examined the correlations between intensities of surface AMPAR subunit, GluA2, and presynaptic marker, VGluT1. I find that both control and TTX-induced scaling up conditions have high correlations between these two proteins and that scaling up increases the intensities of these two proteins, although to a greater magnitude for sGluA2. I then investigated whether Homer1, a widely studied interactor of Shank3 with relevance to synaptic scaling, was involved. I found that phosphorylated Shank3 had reduced binding ability to long-form Homer1. This led me to question whether phosphomimetic Shank3 would undergo changes in its colocalization with endogenous Homer1 compared with wildtype Shank3. Moreover, presence of Shank3 phosphomimetic mutant causes loss in association with long-form Homer1. Previous literature shows that group I mGluR agonist-independent activity resulting from Homer1a-mGluR binding is required for scaling down. I therefore hypothesized that the complementary pathway, consisting of long-form Homer1 binding to mGluR that causes a switch to agonist-dependent activity, is required for synaptic scaling up. Indeed, I find that agonist-dependent activity of these mGluRs is required for synaptic upscaling. I then wondered whether this mGluR activity was sufficient to enable synaptic scaling up on its own. I found that the ability to undergo scaling up in the presence of phosphomimetic Shank3 was rescued by enhancement of mGluR5 activity using a positive allosteric modulator. Finally, I addressed whether specific molecular targets of the downstream group I mGluR canonical pathway are involved in synaptic scaling and found that PLC and PKC activity are each required for synaptic scaling up. However, depletion of intracellular calcium stores did not affect synaptic upscaling. Overall, this work strongly supports the novel idea that synaptic upscaling requires interaction between Shank3 and long-form Homer1 that leads to a switch from constitutive to agonist-dependent activity of group I mGluRs, thus providing a model that is complementary to the prevailing understanding of synaptic downscaling.

Counting planar maps, coloured or uncoloured

description: We present recent results on the enumeration of $q$-coloured planar maps, where each monochromatic edge carries a weight $ν$. This is equivalent to weighting each map by its Tutte polynomial, or to solving the $q$-state Potts model on random planar maps. The associated generating function, obtained by Olivier Bernardi and the author, is differentially algebraic. That is, it satisfies a (non-linear) differential equation. The starting point of this result is a functional equation written by Tutte in 1971, which translates into enumerative terms a simple recursive description of planar maps. The proof follows and adapts Tutte's solution of properly $q$-coloured triangulations (1973-1984). We put this work in perspective with the much better understood enumeration of families of uncoloured planar maps, for which the recursive approach almost systematically yields algebraic generating functions. In the past 15 years, these algebraicity properties have been explained combinatorially by illuminating bijections between maps and families of plane trees. We survey both approaches, recursive and bijective. Comparing the coloured and uncoloured results raises the question of designing bijections for coloured maps. No complete bijective solution exists at the moment, but we present bijections for certain specialisations of the general problem. We also show that for these specialisations, Tutte's functional equation is much easier to solve that in the general case. We conclude with some open questions.

description: Motivated by existing models used for soft body simulation which are rather complex to implement, we present a novel technique which is based on simple laws of physics and gives high quality results in real-time. We base the implementation on simple thermodynamics laws and use the Clausius-Clapeyron state equation for pressure calculation. In addition, this provides us with a pressure force that is accumulated into a force accumulator of a 3D mesh object by using an existing spring-mass engine. Finally after integration of Newtons second law we obtain the behavior of a soft body with fixed or non-fixed air pressure inside of it.

description: Recursive processing in sentence comprehension is considered a hallmark of human linguistic abilities. However, its underlying neural mechanisms remain largely unknown. We studied whether a modern artificial neural network trained with "deep learning" methods mimics a central aspect of human sentence processing, namely the storing of grammatical number and gender information in working memory and its use in long-distance agreement (e.g., capturing the correct number agreement between subject and verb when they are separated by other phrases). Although the network, a recurrent architecture with Long Short-Term Memory units, was solely trained to predict the next word in a large corpus, analysis showed the emergence of a very sparse set of specialized units that successfully handled local and long-distance syntactic agreement for grammatical number. However, the simulations also showed that this mechanism does not support full recursion and fails with some long-range embedded dependencies. We tested the model's predictions in a behavioral experiment where humans detected violations in number agreement in sentences with systematic variations in the singular/plural status of multiple nouns, with or without embedding. Human and model error patterns were remarkably similar, showing that the model echoes various effects observed in human data. However, a key difference was that, with embedded long-range dependencies, humans remained above chance level, while the model's systematic errors brought it below chance. Overall, our study shows that exploring the ways in which modern artificial neural networks process sentences leads to precise and testable hypotheses about human linguistic performance.

description: Neural rendering algorithms introduce a fundamentally new approach for photorealistic rendering, typically by learning a neural representation of illumination on large numbers of ground truth images. When training for a given variable scene, i.e., changing objects, materials, lights and viewpoint, the space D of possible training data instances quickly becomes unmanageable as the dimensions of variable parameters increase. We introduce a novel Active Exploration method using Markov Chain Monte Carlo, which explores D, generating samples (i.e., ground truth renderings) that best help training and interleaves training and on-the-fly sample data generation. We introduce a self-tuning sample reuse strategy to minimize the expensive step of rendering training samples. We apply our approach on a neural generator that learns to render novel scene instances given an explicit parameterization of the scene configuration. Our results show that Active Exploration trains our network much more efficiently than uniformly sampling, and together with our resolution enhancement approach, achieves better quality than uniform sampling at convergence. Our method allows interactive rendering of hard light transport paths (e.g., complex caustics) -- that require very high samples counts to be captured -- and provides dynamic scene navigation and manipulation, after training for 5-18 hours depending on required quality and variations.

Evolution of Cosmological Perturbations in the Universe dominated by Resonant Scalar Fields

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Recently a Hamiltonian formulation for the evolution of the universe dominated by multiple oscillatory scalar fields was developed by the present author and was applied to the investigation of the evolution of cosmological perturbations on superhorizon scales in the case that the scalar fields have incommensurable masses. In the present paper, the analysis is extended to the case that the masses of the scalar fields satisfy resonance relations approximately. In this case, the action-angle variables for the system can be classified into fast changing variables and slowly changing variables. We show that after an appropriate canonical transformation, the part of the Hamiltonian that depends on fast changing angle variables can be made negligibley small, so that the dynamics of the system can be effectively determined by a truncated Hamiltonian that describes a closed dynamics of the slowly changing varables. Utilizing this formulation, we show that the system is unstable if this truncated Hamiltonian system has hyperbolic fixed point and as a consequence, the Bardeen parameter for a perturbation of the system grows.

description: Reversible protein phosphorylation directs essential cellular processes including cell-division, cell-growth, cell-death, inflammation, and differentiation. Because of this, small-molecule-competitive kinase inhibitors have achieved remarkable clinical success, often achieving target specificity by binding to inactive kinase conformations (type II inhibitors). These inactive conformations often have displaced conformation of the kinase activation-loop, which is itself a hub for signaling control, dictating kinase activity towards target proteins. We hypothesized that the protein phosphatases that are the cells natural kinase inhibitors may similarly recognize distinct activation-loop conformations. Using a set of type II inhibitors targeting p38α MAP kinase, we discovered inhibitors that trap activation-loop conformations that modulate phosphatase recognition in biochemically reconstituted reactions and in human cells. Our X-ray crystal structures of inhibitor bound p38α reveal a flipped conformation of the activation loop that presents the activation loop phosphothreonine for dephosphorylation that explains increased dephosphorylation rate. These findings reveal an unexpected dual-action mechanism for kinase inhibitors, suggesting an approach to achieve greater potency and specificity.

We first participate in the simultaneous translation task, in which our simultaneous models are Transformer based and can be efficiently trained to obtain low latency with minimized compromise in quality. On the offline speech translation task, we applied our new Speech Transformer architecture to end-to-end speech translation. The obtained model can provide translation quality which is competitive to a complicated cascade. The latter still has the upper hand, thanks to the ability to transparently access to the transcription, and resegment the inputs to avoid fragmentation.

The critical exponent $ν$ for localization length is extracted for various values of parameters characterizing the disorder, revealing that every $ν$ disobeys the Harris criterion $ν> 2/d$.

description: Local determinations of the Hubble constant $H_0$ favour a higher value than Planck based on CMB and $Λ$CDM. Through a model-independent expansion, we show that low redshift ($z \lesssim 0.7$) data comprising baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO), cosmic chronometers and Type Ia supernovae has a preference for Quintessence models that lower $H_0$ relative to $Λ$CDM. In addition, we confirm that an exponential coupling to dark matter cannot alter this conclusion in the same redshift range. Our results leave open the possibility that a coupling in the matter-dominated epoch, potentially even in the dark ages, may yet save $H_0$ from sinking in the string theory Swampland.

Unlocking SHP2 Phosphatase: From Natural Activation to Pathogenic Dysregulation
Creators: name: Glaser, Andrew
Publisher: name: Brandeis University
Year: 2026
Subjects: Biochemistry

description: Protein regulation and protein-protein interactions are fundamental to the function of the cell, governing processes such as growth, differentiation, metabolism, and immune responses. A critical aspect of this regulation is phosphorylation, where kinases and phosphatases function to add and remove phosphate groups from proteins, respectively. The interplay between these enzymes maintains proper phosphorylation states essential for cellular signaling and homeostasis.
description: At the heart of these interactions is SHP2, a protein tyrosine phosphatase essential for dephosphorylating tyrosine residues on target proteins, thereby effecting signal transduction pathways. Critical to the function of SHP2 is its activation by bis-phosphotyrosine containing peptides, which upregulate SHP2 activity upon binding. Through examining both natural and mutant forms of SHP2, this dissertation bridges our understanding of its regulation and dysregulation, offering a comprehensive view of SHP2 activation mechanisms.

description: In this article, we deal with how to distinguish the signatures of different \LQs at the LHC/FCC if all of them lie within similar mass and coupling range and can be produced at present and future colliders. It has been found that hard scattering cross-sections and angular distributions can be used to differentiate scalar and vector Leptoquarks. On the other hand, final state topology and determination of jet charge can separate \LQs with same spin even from same $SU(2)_L$ multiplet. We performed a PYTHIA8 based analysis considering all the dominant Standard Model (SM) backgrounds at the LHC/FCC with centre of mass energies of 14, 27 and 100 TeV for scalar ($S_1$) and vector ($\widetilde{U}_{1μ}$) Leptoquarks. We see that confirming evidence of scalar Leptoquark at 14 TeV requires 1000 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity, whereas the vector Leptoquark can be probed with very early data. But, at 100 TeV with 1000 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity, scalar Leptoquark of mass 3.5 TeV and vector Leptoquark of mass more than 5 TeV can be probed easily.

description: The structure of the molecule-like state of $NKπ$ with spin-parity $J^π={3/2}^-$ and isospin I=1 is studied within the chiral SU(3) quark model. First we calculate the $NK$, $Nπ$, and $Kπ$ phase shifts in the framework of the resonating group method (RGM), and a qualitative agreement with the experimental data is obtained. Then we perform a rough estimation for the energy of $(NKπ)_{J^π={3/2}^-,I=1}$, and the effect of the mixing to the configuration $(ΔK)_{J^π={3/2}^-,I=1}$ is also considered. The calculated energy is very close to the threshold of the $NKπ$ system. A detailed investigation is worth doing in the further study.

description: The importance of health in promoting economic development has been forcefully stated by the World Health Organization’s Commission on Macroeconomics and Health. In this paper, we look at the impact of own household health expenses on malaria incidence and ultimately on agricultural efficiency. We use a non-parametric method to estimate agricultural efficiency, therefore avoiding the issue of identification of the proper household agricultural production function. In addition the simar-wilson approach followed in this paper accounts for bias induced by serial correlation among farmers. A Tobit model with endogenous health production function is used to estimate the impact of malaria incidence on agricultural efficiency. Data come from the 2006 National Ugandan Household Survey. Estimation results suggest that marginal increase in the index of malaria incidence is expected to reduce agricultural efficiency by 0.07; in other words, ten percent increase in malaria incidence will decrease efficiency by 1.5 percent. We also found evidence of female farmers being more efficiency than male by 39.5 percent. Moreover, farmers who have been visited at least once by an extension agent appear more efficiency by 13.9 percent than those who were not.

Linearization : a derivational approach to the syntax-prosody interface
Creators: name: Shiobara, Kayono
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The major goal of this thesis is to account for a certain class of word order alternations in natural languages, in particular heavy NP shift in English and short-scrambling in Japanese. My central claim is that the properties of these alternations are best accounted for as PF interface phenomena constrained by correspondence conditions on the mapping from syntax to prosody. I develop a model of grammar in which linearization is distributed between core syntax and the prosody-syntax interface: using an incremental structure-building mechanism based on that of Phillips (1996, 2003), I provide a derivational model of the syntax-prosody mapping in which the unit of spell-out is defined by correspondence relations between syntactic objects and prosodic objects. This approach, which I refer to as the Prosodic Phase Hypothesis, provides a prosodically based account of the distinctive properties of heavy NP shift and short-scrambling, including not only clearly prosodic factors such as weight and sentence level stress, but also, indirectly, sensitivity to semantic/pragmatic factors such as focus. The gist of the Prosodic Phase Hypothesis is that the general prosodic properties of a particular language constrain the linearization of verbal dependents in the language. In English, a clause corresponds to an Intonational Phrase in the default case, and mobile prosodic prominence, e.g. accenting and deaccenting, is used in order to encode semantic/pragmatic information. In Japanese, a syntactic phrase corresponds to an Intonational Phrase in the default case, and deletion or a word order alternation is used in order to encode semantic/pragmatic information. I attempt to reduce the difference between the two languages to the Lexical Pitch Parameter, which differentiates languages according to whether their lexically specified pitch features are distinctive (Japanese) or not (English). The Prosodic Phase Hypothesis imposes a particular division of labor between the syntax and the prosody, and shifts the explanatory basis of certain types of linearization from pure syntax toward the PF interface. This is inspired by the guiding idea of the Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1995), which seeks to derive the conditions imposed on the language faculty from external constraints at the interfaces.
Lifting Bell inequalities

description: A Bell inequality defined for a specific experimental configuration can always be extended to a situation involving more observers, measurement settings or measurement outcomes. In this article, such "liftings" of Bell inequalities are studied. It is shown that if the original inequality defines a facet of the polytope of local joint outcome probabilities then the lifted one also defines a facet of the more complex polytope.

description: In recent years there has been a flurry of activity aimed at evaluating the land use consequences of biofuels programs and the associated carbon releases. In this paper we argue that these studies have tended to underestimate the ensuing land use change, because they have ignored the role of irrigation, and associated constraints on cropland expansion. In this paper, we develop a new general equilibrium model which distinguishes irrigated and rainfed cropping industries at a global scale. Using the new model we evaluate the implications of land use change due to US ethanol programs, in the context of short run constraints on the expansion of irrigated cropland. Since irrigated area tends to offer a higher yield than its rainfed counterpart, this provides an upper bound on the change in cropland following biofuel expansion. We find that the biofuel-induced expansion in global cropland cover is about 16 percent larger when the irrigation constraint is imposed. This translates into a 21 percent increase in land use emissions due to US ethanol production. This estimate represents an upper bound, since irrigated area can be expanded over the medium run in many places around the world.
