description: In this work, we present the analytic treatment of the large order Bessel functions that arise in the Fourier Transform (FT) of the Gravitational Wave (GW) signal from a pulsar. We outline several strategies which employ asymptotic expansions in evaluation of such Bessel functions which also happen to have large argument. Large order Bessel functions also arise in the Peters-Mathews model of binary inspiralling stars emitting GW and several problems in potential scattering theory. Other applications also arise in a variety of problems in Applied Mathematics as well as in the Natural Sciences and present a challenge for High Performance Computing(HPC).

description: We show that the iterated images of a Jacobian pair stabilize; that is, the k-th iterates of a polynomial map of complex two-space to itself with a nonzero constant Jacobian determinant all have the same image for sufficiently large k. More generally, we obtain the same result for open polynomial maps of a closed algebraic subset X of complex N-space to itself that have finite coimage, and for cofinite subsets of such an X invariant under the map. We apply these results to obtain a new characterization of the two dimensional complex Jacobian conjecture related to questions of surjectivity.

description: We present firstly the equation of motion for the test scalar particle coupling to the Chern-Simons invariant in Kerr black hole spacetime by the short-wave approximation. We have analyzed the dynamical behaviors of the test coupled particles by applying techniques including Poincaré sections, fast Lyapunov exponent indicator, bifurcation diagram and basins of attraction. It is shown that there exists chaotic phenomenon in the motion of scalar particle interacted with the Chern-Simons invariant in a Kerr black hole spacetime. With the increase of the coupling strength, the motion of the coupled particles for the chosen parameters first undergoes a series of transitions betweens chaotic motion and regular motion and then falls into horizon or escapes to spatial infinity. Thus, the coupling between scalar particle and Chern-Simons invariant yields the richer dynamical behavior of scalar particle in a Kerr black hole spacetime.

description: It is theoretically demonstrated that a displacement of a pinned domain wall, typically of order of $μ$m, can be driven by use of an ac current which is below threshold value. The point here is that finite motion around the pinning center by a low current is enhanced significantly by the resonance if the frequency is tuned close to the pinning frequency as demonstrated by recent experiment.

description: We report time-resolved measurements of the photoinduced change in reflectivity, Delta R, in the Bi2Sr2Ca(1-y)Dy(y)Cu2O(8+delta) (BSCCO) system of cuprate superconductors as a function of hole concentration. We find that the kinetics of quasiparticle decay and the sign of Delta R both change abruptly where the superconducting transition temperature Tc is maximal. These coincident changes suggest that a sharp transition in quasiparticle dynamics takes place precisely at optimal doping in the BSCCO system.

description: Systems with the ability to hold a given position without consumption of energy, i.e. multistability, can be employed in a variety of applications. Apart from the most commonly frictionbased systems, smart materials are an option to create multistability. Here, the ability to create a multistable system from magnetic shape memory alloy (MSM) in a magnetic field, combined with a reluctance counterforce is discussed. For the approach the necessary design process is described, as well as the experimental characterization of a demonstrator system. With the multistable range of the stroke at 0.82 mm and an average resistance to disturbance of ±10 N, two key parameters of the multistable properties are determined. As an outlook, potential applications in the design of adaptable interfaces is discussed.

description: Political science, and social science in general, have traditionally been using computational methods to study areas such as voting behavior, policy making, international conflict, and international development. More recently, increasingly available quantities of data are being combined with improved algorithms and affordable computational resources to predict, learn, and discover new insights from data that is large in volume and variety. New developments in the areas of machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing (NLP), and, more generally, artificial intelligence (AI) are opening up new opportunities for testing theories and evaluating the impact of interventions and programs in a more dynamic and effective way. Applications using large volumes of structured and unstructured data are becoming common in government and industry, and increasingly also in social science research. This chapter offers an introduction to such methods drawing examples from political science. Focusing on the areas where the strengths of the methods coincide with challenges in these fields, the chapter first presents an introduction to AI and its core technology - machine learning, with its rapidly developing subfield of deep learning. The discussion of deep neural networks is illustrated with the NLP tasks that are relevant to political science. The latest advances in deep learning methods for NLP are also reviewed, together with their potential for improving information extraction and pattern recognition from political science texts.

description: Since combustion of fossil fuels can release a large amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere thereby accelerate the rate of climate change, biofuel from biomass has been suggested as a fuel of the future. We argue that if biofuel is to become a fuel of the future, the principal (government or social planner) should make monetary incentive payments to farmers willing to dedicate their farm land to growing bioenergy crops. The problem arises when the principal does not have information on whether these biofuel farmers are actually low-cost types or high-cost types. The idea of a biofuel incentive payment program is to distribute more incentive payments to high-cost farmers so as to induce them to participate in the program. Principal-agent model is used to study the effect of hidden information on the government’s incentive payments to biofuel farmers. Results show that with complete information both low-cost and high-cost type farmers have incentives to produce biofuel crops under the government contract. When information asymmetry is considered, low-cost farmers earn extra payments, but their optimal productivity level remains unchanged. In this second-best outcome with asymmetric information, high-cost farmers’ optimal level of productivity and incentive payments that they received depend on the marginal costs of raising tax revenue. Generally, our results suggest that the government’s biofuel incentive payment program may not be an effective tool in inducing biofuel crop production if asymmetric information is present and marginal costs of raising tax revenue are high.

description: Control of emerging animal diseases critically depends on their early detection. However, designing surveillance programs for exotic and emerging diseases is very challenging because of knowledge gaps on the probability of incursion and mechanisms of spread. Using the example of Bluetongue Virus, which is exotic to the UK, we develop a metapopulation epidemic-economic modelling framework that considers the incursion, detection, spread and control of a disease in a livestock production system composed of heterogeneous subpopulations. The model is then embedded in an information gap (info-gap) framework to assess the robustness of surveillance and vaccination policies to unacceptable outbreaks losses and applied to the case of Bluetongue in the UK. The results show that active reporting of suspect clinical signs by farmers is a very robust way to reduce unacceptable outcomes. Vaccination of animals in high risk regions led to robustly protective programs. If vaccines are not available, surveillance targeted to the high risk region is very robust even if the extent of the high risk region is not known and effectiveness of detection is very low. Surveillance programs focusing in all regions with the same intensity are in general not robust unless the dispersal of the vector connecting both regions is very high.

description: Milk fever, a metabolic disease, affects dairy animals usually within one or two days after calving, resulting in a huge reduction in milk production and thus becomes economically most important. This study, conducted in five milkshed districts of Tamil Nadu, has estimated the economic losses arising from milk fever, based on the data collected from a random sample of 557 milk fever affected bovines (516 cows and 41 she buffaloes) during 2005-08. For assessing economic losses caused by milk fever, cost of medicines, veterinarian’s fee, cost of additional labour utilized, loss due to reduction in milk output, cost of animals dead and culled have been considered. The prevalence of milk fever has been found 13.67 per cent in cows and 11.99 per cent in buffaloes across the study districts. The total loss has been found as Rs 1,068 per affected cow and Rs 665 per buffalo. Taking into account the observed prevalence of milk fever, the population of milch cows and buffaloes and the per animal loss due to milk fever has been estimated to be of Rs 40.62 crore in the state, which is a substantial damage to the dairy farming community. Some suggestions for prevention and management of milk fever have been given in the study.

description: The study has examined the prevailing marketing system, utilization, marketed surplus / consumption, channels of distribution, processing / demand and supply scenario of milk in Jammu and Kashmir. The study is based on the primary data collected from 150 households rearing milch animals, 20 vendors and 20 milk shops from each delineated agro-climatic zones, besides qualitative and quantitative information obtained from co-operative / private dairy owners involved in milk trade. Crossbred cows have been found to have higher productivity than of buffaloes and indigenous cows. Marketed surplus as percentage of total production varies from 68 per cent in intermediate zone to 73 per cent in sub-tropical zone. Overall, sale price of milk has shown a highly erratic trend, irrespective of the zone. Per capita milk consumption varies from 338 g/day in intermediate zone to 569 g/day in sub-tropical zone and is higher in each zone than minimum quantity recommended by the Indian Council of Medical Research. Producer share in consumer rupee has been found highest in channels I and IV. The dairy cooperative, a most significant market functionary in milk trade, is either missing or handles meagre quantity of milk. The study of milk processing has revealed that profit per litre in packaged milk is encouraging. Also, organized sector meets only 21.76 per cent and 16.32 per cent demand of the cities and towns of Kashmir and Jammu divisions, respectively. The study has suggested that an integrated dairy development project should be implemented in the state to boost milk production with regular / remunerative market to the milk producers and to capture a major share of urban milk markets with regular supply of quality milk.

description: A suspension system is a set of mechanical elements whose functions can be summarized as isolate the passenger and the structure from vibrations and ensure the vehicle stability under different travel condition. A semiactive suspension system is defined as set of mechanical and electric devices that includes semiactive or active elements whose parameters could be controlled by a system, although they cannot introduce forces into the system. An option of devices that can be used in semiactive suspension system could be elements which their mechanical properties can be controlled by an external stimulus, such capability is produced by the so-called “Smart Materials”. This work analyses the application of a kind of those materials which can modify their mechanical properties by the influence of a magnetic field, that category is called magnetorheologic materials. Those allow through the intensity of a magnetic field tune their behavior in terms of their viscoelastic properties. The control of this devices requires a sensing and actuator systems and the response between them requires a so small delay process, otherwise the suspension system does not achieve its objective, but also is considered unsafe. Therefore, a more efficient model using artificial intelligence techniques such Fuzzy Logic and Artificial Neural Network is developed to simulate and keep the system response updated through the time due to variations on the elements behavior such wear or another factors. Furthermore, the optimization of the response and the element design is complex because of the high non-linear system and the large number of degrees of freedom that the system have, therefore the application of Genetic Algorithm to improve the time of calculus and design process. This article presents a short introduction of smart materials focused on Magnetorheological materials such fluids and elastomer, also a modeling of suspension devices based on this technology are modeled. These elements are introduced in a vehicle model to evaluate the results of performances and compare with a passive suspension system.

description: The Domain Name System (DNS) was created to resolve the IP addresses of the web servers to easily remembered names. When it was initially created, security was not a major concern; nowadays, this lack of inherent security and trust has exposed the global DNS infrastructure to malicious actors. The passive DNS data collection process creates a database containing various DNS data elements, some of which are personal and need to be protected to preserve the privacy of the end users. To this end, we propose the use of distributed ledger technology. We use Hyperledger Fabric to create a permissioned blockchain, which only authorized entities can access. The proposed solution supports queries for storing and retrieving data from the blockchain ledger, allowing the use of the passive DNS database for further analysis, e.g. for the identification of malicious domain names. Additionally, it effectively protects the DNS personal data from unauthorized entities, including the administrators that can act as potential malicious insiders, and allows only the data owners to perform queries over these data. We evaluated our proposed solution by creating a proof-of-concept experimental setup that passively collects DNS data from a network and then uses the distributed ledger technology to store the data in an immutable ledger, thus providing a full historical overview of all the records.

description: Vietnam’s economic boom during the transition to a market economy has centered on very rapid growth in some sectors and some provinces, yet poverty has diminished across the entire country. With capital investments highly concentrated by province and sector, geographic labor mobility may be critical in spreading the gains from growth. Conversely, rising income inequality may be attributable in part to impediments to migration. We first use census data to investigate migration patterns and determinants. We then examine the role of migration as an influence on cross-province income differentials. The former analysis robustly confirms economic motives for migration but also suggests the existence of poverty-related labor immobility at the provincial level. Examination of income differentials between pairs of provinces reveals that the impact of migration on inequality can be either negative or positive. A robust inequality-reducing impact of migration is found for migration flows into provinces where most of Vietnam’s trade-oriented industrial investments are located.

description: We develop a financial-contracting theory of the cooperative firm where production requires three generic tasks: working, managing, and monitoring. Workers provide an intermediate input (or labor directly); managers convert the workers' input into a final output; and directors monitor managers. We model the cooperative firm by letting the workers act also as directors. We show how bundling the labor and monitoring tasks can expand the scope for equilibrium market activity, even when doing so results in a strictly positive deadweight loss. Our theory provides new insight with respect to a substantial theoretical and empirical literature on the “life cycle” of worker-managed firms, and with respect to a complementary body of anecdotal evidence on the causes of worker buyouts and cooperative “degeneration.” Our theory is also consistent with differences between the board compensation policies of cooperative firms, where members typically receive little more than travel and per-diem reimbursements, and of investor-owned firms, where members receive substantial pay often based in part on firm financial performance.
title: Multivariable stability analysis of position-controlled payloads to support shrink in semiconductor manufacturing

Subjects: subject: 620

description: This paper addresses the challenge of ever-smaller structures in the semiconductor industry and the resulting requirements for high-performance mechatronic systems, especially wafer scanners, in lithography processes in the context of mechatronic system design and analysis. As a result, the development of sophisticated methods for modeling, control, and analysis of control systems has become necessary. To meet this need, advanced analysis methods of multivariable control systems are investigated, in particular the combination of classical stability analysis methods like the Nyquist criteria and use of Individual Channel Analysis and Design (ICAD) methods. For this purpose, the requirements for the analysis of multivariable control systems are summarized and put in the context of classical methods of system analysis, for example, the use of Nyquist methods to evaluate the stability of the control loop. Subsequently, the paper provides a rationale for why the use of Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) methods to assess stability and robustness is not sufficient and how these can be extended to Multiple-Input Multiple Output (MIMO) methods to meet the requirements. A set of tailored Nyquist-like MIMO analysis methods are theoretically derived, including the ICAD method and classical Nyquist stability analysis and its use in the analysis of multivariable control system is explained. A coupling ratio parameter, quantifying the coupling of multivariable systems, is derived from the extended ICAD method. The iterative design process is explained, which allows conclusions to be drawn about individual system parameters and how to optimize them to achieve high performance. To compare the methods, a model of a mechanical payload with variable eigenfrequencies is derived. Subsequently, the suitability of the respective method for multivariable stability analysis is tested in different system configurations. In conclusion, this paper provides insight into the analysis of stability and robustness of multivariable control systems and presents the challenges and opportunities of using these advanced methods to design high-performance mechatronics in the context of increasing requirements due to the shrink in semiconductor manufacturing. This provides a valuable contribution to the design of high-performance mechatronic systems.

description: The strong progress in modern vehicle system technology requires new methodological approaches for the development and validation of new vehicle systems. In particular, due to increasing automation, classical development methods and testing scenarios need to be evolved. Consequently, the publication focuses on an extension of teleoperated driving by the X-in-the-loop (XIL) approach. Within this framework, the classical concept based on VPN-LTE networking is analyzed and discussed at first. With this implementation, the remote control of a real vehicle is presented based on the use of a dynamic driving simulator. Especially for the development and validation of such concepts, an extension with the XIL methodology can improve this process. For this reason, the architecture of teleoperated driving is subsequently extended by networking with additional system components. The feasibility, the functionalities as well as the challenges that arise with such an extension based on the XIL methodology are shown. Within the scope of this study, the achieved transmission times for the control variables and for the video data stream are demonstrated. Based on different driving maneuvers, the achievable repeatability is discussed.

description: Infrared sauna bathing has positive effects on body and mind. Quantifying these effects helps to make sauna use more efficient and safer and to increase the user-observed wellness effects. Currently, there are no practical solutions for a comprehensive and user-friendly monitoring of the physical impact of sauna bathing. This paper focuses on the concept development to investigate which measurement setups are suitable to record and evaluate changes in vital parameters. Based on prioritized vital parameters and requirements a pre-selection of devices in form of wearables is made, which is going to be examined in detail for their suitability. An investigation with ten test persons is planned, in which the wearables’ measurement accuracy and the user acceptance outside and inside the infrared cabin are quantified. The result is a concept for the test procedure and the evaluation of the wearables in order to integrate a suitable device into the overall system.

description: We find a new family of exact solutions in membrane theory, representing toroidal membranes spinning in several planes. They have energy square proportional to the sum of the different angular momenta, generalizing Regge-type string solutions to membrane theory. By compactifying the eleven dimensional theory on a circle and on a torus, we identify a family of new non-perturbative states of type IIA and type IIB superstring theory (which contains the perturbative spinning string solutions of type II string theory as a particular case). The solution represents a spinning bound state of D branes and fundamental strings. Then we find similar solutions for membranes on $AdS_7\times S^4$ and $AdS_4\times S^7$. We also consider the analogous solutions in SU(N) matrix theory, and compute the energy. They can be interpreted as rotating open strings with D0 branes attached to their endpoints.

description: We study an ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory defined on $M^4\times S^1$. The vacuum expectation values for adjoint scalar field in vector multiplet, though important, has been overlooked in evaluating one-loop effective potential of the theory. We correctly take the vacuum expectation values into account in addition to the Wilson line phases to give an expression for the effective potential, and gauge symmetry breaking is discussed. In evaluating the potential, we employ the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism and introduce bare mass for gaugino in order to break supersymmetry. We also obtain masses for the scalars, the adjoint scalar, and the component gauge field for the $S^1$ direction in case of the SU(2) gauge group. We observe that large supersymmetry breaking gives larger mass for the scalar. This analysis is easily applied to the $M^4\times S^1/Z_2$ case.

It is found that, coinciding with the transition from collinear ferrimagnetic ordering to an incommensurate magnetic state occurring at about 100 K, there is an abrupt change (about 30 %) of permittivity suggesting the existence of a magnetoelectric coupling in this material. Indeed, magnetic field dependent measurements at 100 K have revealed an increase of the permittivity by about 0.3 % in 6 T. Prospective advantages of epsilon-Fe2O3 as multiferroic material are discussed.

description: A primary change to crop insurance contained in the USDA's Farm Bill Proposal is Supplemental Deductible Coverage (SDC). SDC would allow farmers who purchase individual crop insurance coverage to purchase GRP in the amount of the individual policy deductible. GRP indemnities would be accelerated compared with the current GRP policy. Analysis indicates that SDC provides substantial benefits in terms of certainty equivalent gains. The largest benefits are realized by low risk farmers, compared to others in the county, and farmers whose yields are highly correlated with the county yield. Optimal individual policy coverage levels generally decrease when SDC is taken.

description: The evolution of a zero metallicity 9 M_s star is computed, analyzed and compared with that of a solar metallicity star of identical ZAMS mass. Our computations range from the main sequence until the formation of a massive oxygen-neon white dwarf. Special attention has been payed to carbon burning in conditions of partial degeneracy as well as to the subsequent thermally pulsing Super-AGB phase. The latter develops in a fashion very similar to that of a solar metallicity 9 M_s star, as a consequence of the significant enrichment in metals of the stellar envelope that ensues due to the so-called third dredge-up episode. The abundances in mass of the main isotopes in the final ONe core resulting from the evolution are X(^{16}O) approx 0.59, X(^{20}Ne) approx 0.28 and X(^{24}Mg) approx 0.05. This core is surrounded by a 0.05 M_s buffer mainly composed of carbon and oxygen, and on top of it a He envelope of mass 10^{-4} M_s

description: We describe four recently developed panel data estimators for unbalanced and nested data, a common problem for economic and experimental data. We estimate a western corn rootworm damage function with each estimator, including separate parameters for random effects from year, location, and experimental errors. We then use each estimator to assess the cost of the western corn rootworm soybean variant and the net benefit of soil insecticide and Bt corn for controlling this pest. At current prices, we find that soil insecticide generates a net loss ranging about $0.50-$3.25/ac, while Bt corn generates a net benefit ranging $2.50-$7.00/ac.

description: A web-based survey of fiscal health was administered to Wisconsin cities and villages during the spring of 2007. A total of 200 communities responded to the survey. Of those responding, 49 percent reported that their current revenue base is inadequate and more than 64 percent responded that their fiscal condition in five years will be inadequate. Some of the strategies most actively pursued in response to fiscal stress include delaying capital expenditures, targeted budget cuts and delaying routine maintenance expenditures. Strategies least likely to be pursued include reducing hours of public facilities, eliminating services and pursuing regional cooperation agreements. The same survey was administered in 2004 and while statistical comparisons are not permissible due to differences in responding communities, a few points are noteworthy. Compared to 2004, communities are slightly more optimistic today about their current financial condition (46 percent had adequate revenues in 2007 compared to 51 percent in 2004). Conversely, communities have dimmer prospects looking out the next five years today compared to 2004 (64 percent foresee having inadequate revenues in 2007 compared to 54 percent in 2004).

An unfitted RBF-FD method in a least-squares setting for elliptic PDEs on complex geometries

description: Radial basis function generated finite difference (RBF-FD) methods for PDEs require a set of interpolation points which conform to the computational domain $Ω$. One of the requirements leading to approximation robustness is to place the interpolation points with a locally uniform distance around the boundary of $Ω$. However generating interpolation points with such properties is a cumbersome problem. Instead, the interpolation points can be extended over the boundary and as such completely decoupled from the shape of $Ω$. In this paper we present a modification to the least-squares RBF-FD method which allows the interpolation points to be placed in a box that encapsulates $Ω$. This way, the node placement over a complex domain in 2D and 3D is greatly simplified. Numerical experiments on solving an elliptic model PDE over complex 2D geometries show that our approach is robust. Furthermore it performs better in terms of the approximation error and the runtime vs. error compared with the classic RBF-FD methods. It is also possible to use our approach in 3D, which we indicate by providing convergence results of a solution over a thoracic diaphragm.
Finding Wombling Boundaries in LHC Data with Voronoi and Delaunay Tessellations

description: We address the problem of finding a wombling boundary in point data generated by a general Poisson point process, a specific example of which is an LHC event sample distributed in the phase space of a final state signature, with the wombling boundary created by some new physics. We discuss the use of Voronoi and Delaunay tessellations of the point data for estimating the local gradients and investigate methods for sharpening the boundaries by reducing the statistical noise. The outcome from traditional wombling algorithms is a set of boundary cell candidates with relatively large gradients, whose spatial properties must then be scrutinized in order to construct the boundary and evaluate its significance. Here we propose an alternative approach where we simultaneously form and evaluate the significance of all possible boundaries in terms of the total gradient flux. We illustrate our method with several toy examples of both straight and curved boundaries with varying amounts of signal present in the data.

description: We present results of a 0.1-100 keV BeppoSAX observation of the dipping LMXRB EXO 0748-676 performed in 2000 November. During the observation the source exhibited X-ray eclipses, type I X-ray bursts and dipping activity over a wide range of orbital phases. The 0.1-100keV "dip-free"(ie. dipping and eclipsing intervals excluded) spectrum is complex,especially at low-energies where a soft excess is present. Two very different spectral models give satisfactory fits. The first is the progressive covering model, consisting of separately absorbed black body and cut-off power-law components.The second model is an absorbed cut-off power-law together with a moderately ionized absorber with a sub-solar abundance of Fe and a 2.13 keV absorption feature (tentatively identified with Si xiii). This ionized absorber may be the same feature as seen by Chandra during dips from EXO 0748-676.

description: Here we study the comparative power of classical and quantum learners for generative modelling within the Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) framework. More specifically we consider the following task: Given samples from some unknown discrete probability distribution, output with high probability an efficient algorithm for generating new samples from a good approximation of the original distribution. Our primary result is the explicit construction of a class of discrete probability distributions which, under the decisional Diffie-Hellman assumption, is provably not efficiently PAC learnable by a classical generative modelling algorithm, but for which we construct an efficient quantum learner. This class of distributions therefore provides a concrete example of a generative modelling problem for which quantum learners exhibit a provable advantage over classical learning algorithms. In addition, we discuss techniques for proving classical generative modelling hardness results, as well as the relationship between the PAC learnability of Boolean functions and the PAC learnability of discrete probability distributions.
