description: This study aims to identify the leading of inflation indicators of monetary policy in DRC. The results reveal that the most relevant inflation indicators usually come from the monetary origin than the real sector. Variance decomposition analyzes place in the foreground the rate of exchange, the money supply and the public consumption like the most relevant indicators. In order to achieve its goal of price stability and to support a strong economic growth, the intermediate objective of the Central Bank baseded on the controle of the money supply seems to be less relevant. Relates to a high level of the dollarization, the central bank will be able to adopt either the strategy of nominal anchoring of the rate of exchange, this calls the return of the fixed exchange regime or to adopt a strategy of inflation targeting is to restore the credibility of the monetary policy

description: We model physical signals using elements of the algebra of split octonions over the field of real numbers. Elementary particles are corresponded to the special elements of the algebra that nullify octonionic norms (zero divisors). It is shown that the standard model particle spectrum naturally follows from the classification of the independent primitive zero divisors of split octonions.

description: Cette thèse porte sur le mouvement d’hygiène sociale à New York et leur lutte contre les maladies vénériennes durant l’ère progressiste. Après une période d'essoufflement dans la lutte contre la prostitution durant la deuxième moitié du 19e siècle, l’ère progressiste apporta un renouvèlement important aux actions contre la prostitution. En 1905, la première organisation d’hygiène sociale américaine, un mouvement de médecins et de réformateurs qui tenta de mettre fin à l’épidémie de maladies vénériennes qui ravageait la société, fut fondée par Dr Prince A. Morrow à New York. Rapidement, le mouvement régional, centré dans cette ville, évolua en un mouvement national qui était mené, dans les années 1920, par l’American Social Hygiene Association. En m’appuyant sur les journaux médicaux, sur les archives et les publications des organisations d’hygiène sociale et sur les documents du département de la Santé de la ville et de l’État de New York, j’examine l’histoire intellectuelle et médicale du mouvement d’hygiène sociale à New York. J’affirme que les hygiénistes sociaux incarnent bien les sentiments, la philosophie et les suppositions de l’ère progressiste en vénérant la science et en contrôlant la population. La classe intellectuelle fut donnée beaucoup d’autorité durant l’ère progressiste et ces médecins utilisèrent cette autorité pour pousser une idéologie de contrôle social. Pour démontrer ceci, j’examine les lois qui abolissaient la prostitution et qui mettaient des restrictions sur le mariage et l’employabilité des syphilitiques et des gonorrhéiques pour protéger la santé publique. J’explore l’éducation sexuelle des enfants et des jeunes adultes et la méfiance des médecins envers l’habileté des parents à enseigner ce sujet. J’analyse aussi la professionnalisation de la médecine qui nécessitait une conception de la science qui était basée dans l’efficacité et l’efficience des traitements et qui rejetait les charlatans. Puis, j’examine l’importance de la quantification des fléaux sociaux pour les hygiénistes sociaux. Dans cette thèse, je propose de revisiter la conception de l’ère progressiste pour mettre ces médecins en contexte et y inclure leur profonde inquiétude pour le bien de la société, sans seulement me concentrer sur leur remise en question de la démocratie et le droit des individus, comme plusieurs autres historiens de l'ère progressiste l’ont fait.

description: The structure and dynamic of social network are largely determined by the heterogeneous interaction activity and social capital allocation of individuals. These features interplay in a non-trivial way in the formation of network and challenge a rigorous dynamical system theory of network evolution. Here we study seven real networks describing temporal human interactions in three different settings: scientific collaborations, Twitter mentions, and mobile phone calls. We find that the node's activity and social capital allocation can be described by two general functional forms that can be used to define a simple stochastic model for social network dynamic. This model allows the explicit asymptotic solution of the Master Equation describing the system dynamic, and provides the scaling laws characterizing the time evolution of the social network degree distribution and individual node's ego network. The analytical predictions reproduce with accuracy the empirical observations validating the theoretical approach. Our results provide a rigorous dynamical system framework that can be extended to include other features of networks' formation and to generate data driven predictions for the asymptotic behavior of large-scale social networks.

description: This thesis focuses on the dynamic and static behavior of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SRFC) beams. As part of this study a total of eighteen (18) beams are tested, including fourteen (14) SFRC beams, and a companion set of four (4) beams built without fibers. Seven (7) of the beams are tested under quasi-static (slowly applied) loading with the remaining eleven (11) beams tested under simulated blast loading using the University of Ottawa shock-tube. The variables considered in this study include: concrete type (SFRC vs. conventional concrete), fiber content, fiber type, as well as the effect of transverse reinforcement. The criteria used to evaluate the blast performance of the beams includes: overall blast capacity, maximum and residual mid-span displacement, secondary fragmentation and damage control. Static results confirm the beneficial effect of fibers on improving the shear and flexural capacity of beams. Dynamic results show that use of steel fibers at a sufficient content can increase shear capacity and effectively replace transverse reinforcement in beams tested under blast loads. The results also show that increasing fiber content can improve the blast response of the beams by reducing maximum and residual mid-span displacement, improving damage tolerance and minimizing secondary blast fragments. However, at high fiber contents, problems with workability of the concrete mix can occur, resulting in a reduction of improvements when compared to SFRC specimens with lower fiber content. The analytical research program aimed at predicting the response of the test beams using dynamic inelastic single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) analysis. Overall the analytical results demonstrate that SDOF analysis can be used to predict the blast response of beams built with SFRC.

description: We experimentally demonstrate a passively Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) operation by using a saturable absorber based on Fe3O4 nanoparticles (FONP) in magnetic fluid (MF). As a kind of transition metal oxide, the FONP has a large nonlinear optical response with a fast response time for saturable absorber. By depositing MF at the end of optical fiber ferrule, we fabricated a FONP-based saturable absorber, which enables a strong light-matter interaction owing to the confined transmitted optical field within the single mode fiber. Because of large third-order optical nonlinearities of FONP-based saturable absorber, large modulation depth of 8.2% and non saturable absorption of 56.6% are demonstrated. As a result, stable passively Q-switched EDFL pulses with maximum output pulse energy of 23.76 nJ, repetition rate of 33.3 kHz, and pulse width of 3.2 μs are achieved when the input pump power is 110 mW at the wavelength of 980 nm. The laser features a low threshold pump power of ~15 mW.

description: Mining frequent itemsets from massive datasets is always being a most important problem of data mining. Apriori is the most popular and simplest algorithm for frequent itemset mining. To enhance the efficiency and scalability of Apriori, a number of algorithms have been proposed addressing the design of efficient data structures, minimizing database scan and parallel and distributed processing. MapReduce is the emerging parallel and distributed technology to process big datasets on Hadoop Cluster. To mine big datasets it is essential to re-design the data mining algorithm on this new paradigm. In this paper, we implement three variations of Apriori algorithm using data structures hash tree, trie and hash table trie i.e. trie with hash technique on MapReduce paradigm. We emphasize and investigate the significance of these three data structures for Apriori algorithm on Hadoop cluster, which has not been given attention yet. Experiments are carried out on both real life and synthetic datasets which shows that hash table trie data structures performs far better than trie and hash tree in terms of execution time. Moreover the performance in case of hash tree becomes worst.

description: In Niccol Machiavelli's La mandragola, one of the first performed erudite comedies, the ethics of medicine and medical practitioners are continuously called into question. This thesis explores the way in which medicine and medical men are represented in Machiavelli's comedy, taking into account the time and place in which this comedy was written and performed: early sixteenth-century Florence. I will examine the tropes of the doctor which are represented in the comedy, and draw a link between the negative representations of these common tropes and the humanist medical skeptics.

description: DNA G-hairpins are potential key structures participating in folding of human telomeric guanine quadruplexes (GQ). We examined their properties by standard MD simulations starting from the folded state and long T-REMD starting from the unfolded state, accumulating ~130 μs of atomistic simulations. Antiparallel G-hairpins should spontaneously form in all stages of the folding to support lateral and diagonal loops, with sub-μs scale rearrangements between them. We found no clear predisposition for direct folding into specific GQ topologies with specific syn/anti patterns. Our key prediction stemming from the T-REMD is that an ideal unfolded ensemble of the full GQ sequence populates all 4096 syn/anti combinations of its four G-stretches. The simulations can propose idealized folding pathways but we explain that such few-state pathways may be misleading. In the context of the available experimental data, the simulations strongly suggest that the GQ folding could be best understood by the kinetic partitioning mechanism with a set of deep competing minima on the folding landscape, with only a small fraction of molecules directly folding to the native fold. The landscape should further include nonspecific collapse processes where the molecules move via diffusion and consecutive random rare transitions, which could, e.g., structure the propeller loops.

description: In the light dark matter (DM) scenario of the MSSM, the DM relic density puts non-trivial requirements on the spectrum of supersymmetric particles. As a result, the direct search for multi-lepton signals at the LHC has great impact on the scenario. In this work, we concentrate on the searches for sleptons and electroweak-inos at the LHC, and investigate the constraints on the light DM scenario from the 8 TeV LHC data as well as the capability of the 14 TeV LHC to test the scenario. We first get the samples of the scenario by scanning the vast parameter space of the MSSM and considering some easily available constraints, such as those from the DM relic density, the LUX experiment and the Higgs searches at colliders. Then for the surviving samples, we simulate the $2l+E_T^{miss}$ signal from slepton pair production process and the $2l+E_T^{miss}$ and $3l+E_T^{miss}$ signals from chargino and neutralino associated production processes at both the 8 TeV LHC and the 14 TeV LHC. Our simulations indicate that the 8 TeV LHC has excluded a sizable portion of the samples, and the 14 TeV LHC can be even much more powerful in testing the scenario. For example, in case that no multi-lepton signals are observed at the 14 TeV LHC, most samples of the light DM scenario will be excluded, especially a lower limit on the lightest neutralino mass will be set at 42 GeV and 44 GeV with 30 $fb^{-1}$ and 100 $fb^{-1}$ data respectively, and this limit can be further pushed up to $55\ {\rm GeV}$ with 300 $fb^{-1}$ data.

description: In regression analysis for deriving scaling laws that occur in various scientific disciplines, usually standard regression methods have been applied, of which ordinary least squares (OLS) is the most popular. In many situations, the assumptions underlying OLS are not fulfilled, and several other approaches have been proposed. However, most techniques address only part of the shortcomings of OLS. We here discuss a new and more general regression method, which we call geodesic least squares regression (GLS). The method is based on minimization of the Rao geodesic distance on a probabilistic manifold. For the case of a power law, we demonstrate the robustness of the method on synthetic data in the presence of significant uncertainty on both the data and the regression model. We then show good performance of the method in an application to a scaling law in magnetic confinement fusion.

description: A universal approach to decoherence control combined with quantum estimation theory reveals a critical behavior, akin to a phase transition, of the information obtainable by a qubit probe concerning the memory time of environmental fluctuations. This criticality emerges only when the probe is subject to dynamical control. It gives rise to a sharp transition between two dynamical phases characterized by either a short or long memory time compared to the probing time. This phase-transition of the environmental information is a fundamental feature that facilitates the attainment of the highest estimation precision of the environment memory-time and the characterization of probe dynamics.

description: We present the stochastic model of the galactic cosmic ray (GCR) particles transport in the heliosphere. Based on the solution of the Parker transport equation we developed models of the short-time variation of the GCR intensity, i.e. the Forbush decrease (Fd) and the 27-day variation of the GCR intensity. Parker transport equation being the Fokker-Planck type equation delineates non-stationary transport of charged particles in the turbulent medium. The presented approach of the numerical solution is grounded on solving of the set of equivalent stochastic differential equations (SDEs). We demonstrate the method of deriving from Parker transport equation the corresponding SDEs in the heliocentric spherical coordinate system for the backward approach. Features indicative the preeminence of the backward approach over the forward is stressed. We compare the outcomes of the stochastic model of the Fd and 27-day variation of the GCR intensity with our former models established by the finite difference method. Both models are in an agreement with the experimental data.

description: Partial coherence is an important quantity derived from spectral or precision matrices and is used in seismology, meteorology, oceanography, neuroscience and elsewhere. If the number of complex degrees of freedom only slightly exceeds the dimension of the multivariate stationary time series, spectral matrices are poorly conditioned and shrinkage techniques suggest themselves. When true partial coherencies are quite large then for shrinkage estimators of the diagonal weighting kind it is shown empirically that the minimization of risk using quadratic loss (QL) leads to oracle partial coherence estimators superior to those derived by minimizing risk using Hilbert-Schmidt (HS) loss. When true partial coherencies are small the methods behave similarly. We derive two new QL estimators for spectral matrices, and new QL and HS estimators for precision matrices. In addition for the full estimation (non-oracle) case where certain trace expressions must also be estimated, we examine the behaviour of three different QL estimators, the precision matrix one seeming particularly robust and reliable. For the empirical study we carry out exact simulations derived from real EEG data for two individuals, one having large, and the other small, partial coherencies. This ensures our study covers cases of real-world relevance.

description: In this paper, we derive two second- order of differential equation for the gluon and singlet distribution functions by using the Laplace transform method. We decoupled the solutions of the singlet and gluon distributions into the initial conditions (function and derivative of the function) at the virtuality $Q_{0}^{2}$ separately as these solutions are defined by: \begin{eqnarray} F_{2}^{s}(x,Q^{2}) &=& \mathcal{F}(F_{s0}, \partial F_{s0})\nonumber &&\mathrm{and} \nonumber G(x,Q^{2}) &=& \mathcal{G}(G_{0}, \partial G_{0}).\nonumber \end{eqnarray} We compared our results with the MSTW parameterization and the experimental measurements of $F_{2}^{p}(x,Q^{2})$.

Information Rates of ASK-Based Molecular Communication in Fluid Media

description: This paper studies the capacity of molecular communications in fluid media, where the information is encoded in the number of transmitted molecules in a time-slot (amplitude shift keying). The propagation of molecules is governed by random Brownian motion and the communication is in general subject to inter-symbol interference (ISI). We first consider the case where ISI is negligible and analyze the capacity and the capacity per unit cost of the resulting discrete memoryless molecular channel and the effect of possible practical constraints, such as limitations on peak and/or average number of transmitted molecules per transmission. In the case with a constrained peak molecular emission, we show that as the time-slot duration increases, the input distribution achieving the capacity per channel use transitions from binary inputs to a discrete uniform distribution. In this paper, we also analyze the impact of ISI. Crucially, we account for the correlation that ISI induces between channel output symbols. We derive an upper bound and two lower bounds on the capacity in this setting. Using the input distribution obtained by an extended Blahut-Arimoto algorithm, we maximize the lower bounds. Our results show that, over a wide range of parameter values, the bounds are close.

Obstacles behind a common European energy policy: case studies of Germany, Hungary and Russia
Creators: name: Serrano, Alberto
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: This thesis explains the obstacles constraining the development of a coherent Common Energy European Policy (CEEP). It hypothesizes that the full implementation of a CEEP has been slow because it is not in line with the national energy interests of all European Union (EU) member states. The crux of the problem is that the interests of some EU members like Germany and Hungary have slowed down the implementation of a common energy policy to get special benefits from producers like Russia.

description: For an integer $e$ and hyperbolic curve $X$ over $\overline{\mathbb Q}$, Mochizuki showed that there are only finitely many isomorphism classes of hyperbolic curves $Y$ of Euler characteristic $e$ with the same universal cover as $X$. We use Arakelov theory to prove an effective version of this finiteness statement.
