description: Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a assimetria na transmissão de preços entre os níveis de produtor e varejo de produtos hortifrutícolas no Estado de São Paulo. O período de análise foi de Junho de 1994 a Abril de 2002, após o Plano Real. O modelo teórico se baseia na transmissão de preços, desenvolvido por Gardner e Heien. Admite-se que os preços sejam ajustados com certa rapidez após a determinação do preço ao produtor, é uma indicação de eficiência de mercado, já que as informações são transmitidas rapidamente. Verificou-se, que as elasticidades de todos os produtos foram estatisticamente menores que um, dada a perecibilidade do produto e do receio de perdas dos comerciantes, estes não transmitem toda a variação de preço. Na análise da assimetria foi constatado para alguns produtos (laranja, tomate), que os varejistas transmitem mais acréscimos do que os decréscimos de preços, enquanto que os produtos batata e banana, os decréscimos de preços foram transmitidos mais que os acréscimos, o que está de acordo com a hipótese de que maior perecibilidade se correlaciona com maior transmissão de decréscimos. --------------------------------------------------- This study aims to analyze the asymmetry in price transmission between levels producer and retail of fresh produce in the State of São Paulo. The examination period was June 1994 to April 2002, after the Real Plan. The theoretical model is based on the transmission prices, developed by Gardner and Heien. It is assumed that prices are adjusted with some quickly after determining the price to the producer, is an indication of market efficiency, since that information is transmitted quickly. It has been found that the elasticities of all Products were statistically smaller than one, given the perishable product and fears losses of traders, they do not convey any price change. In the analysis of asymmetry was found for some products (oranges, tomatoes), retailers convey more additions than the price decreases, while the banana and potato products, the decrements rates were transmitted over that allowances, which is consistent with the hypothesis that perishability higher correlates with greater transmission decreases.

description: We propose the scheme realizing the two-level control over the unitary operators $U_k$ creating the required quantum state of the system $S$. These operators are controlled by the superposition state of the auxiliary subsystem $R$ which is governed by two control centers. The
 first-level control center (main control) creates the equal-probability pure state of $R$ with certain distribution of phase factors that, in turn, govern the power of the second-level control center $C$ that applies the special $V$-operators to the same subsystem $R$ changing its state and thus controlling the applicability of $U_k$. In addition, the above phases are responsible for the entanglement in the subsystem $R$. We find the direct relation between this entanglement and the number of operators $U_k$ that can be controlled by $C$. The simple example of a two-level control system governing the creation of entangled state of the two-qubit system $S$ is presented.

description: In recent years, cultural, social, community and educational spaces have become laboratories of new forms of living, working, learning and collective exchange. However, these civic spaces face many difficulties in establishing stable economic structures, or lack financial buffers to secure their long-term operations and relative autonomy. This book brings together a variety of actors, practices, models, mechanisms and opinions that address these difficulties: our intention is to use these experiences to help and inspire civic space initiatives in accessing community capital, building stable financial models, strengthening local economies by keeping profits in neighbourhoods and ensuring spaces against public oppression or the extraction economy.

description: The use of electric fields for signalling and control in liquids is widespread, spanning bioelectric activity in cells to electrical manipulation of microstructures in lab-on-a-chip devices. However, an appropriate tool to resolve the spatio-temporal distribution of electric fields over a large dynamic range has yet to be developed. Here we present a label-free method to image local electric fields in real time and under ambient conditions. Our technique combines the unique gate-variable optical transitions of graphene with a critically coupled planar waveguide platform that enables highly sensitive detection of local electric fields with a voltage sensitivity of a few microvolts, a spatial resolution of tens of micrometres and a frequency response over tens of kilohertz. Our imaging platform enables parallel detection of electric fields over a large field of view and can be tailored to broad applications spanning lab-on-a-chip device engineering to analysis of bioelectric phenomena.

description: We report measurements of the spin susceptibility, $χ\propto g_v g^*m^*$, in an AlAs two-dimensional electron system where, via the application of in-plane stress, we transfer electrons from one conduction-band valley to another ($g_v$ is the valley degeneracy, and $m^*$ and $g^*$ are the electron effective mass and g-factor). At a given density, when the two valleys are equally populated ($g_v=2$), the measured $g^*m^*$ is smaller than when only one valley is occupied ($g_v=1$). This observation counters the common assumption that a two-valley two-dimensional system is effectively more dilute than a single-valley system because of its smaller Fermi energy.

description: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of mortality worldwide. The chronic progressive disease is accompanied by a high loss of health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The available drugs usually only have symptomatic effects; therefore, non-pharmacological therapies are essential too. This systematic review examines non-pharmacological interventions consisting of pulmonary rehabilitation, physical activity, and training versus usual care or no intervention in COPD using at least one of the following HRQoL measuring instruments: St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire, Clinical COPD Questionnaire, COPD Assessment Test, and EuroQol-5D. Of 1532 identified records from CENTRAL, MEDLINE, and EMBASE, 15 randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs were investigated in nine studies, education and counseling-based training programs in three studies, and breathing exercises in three studies. Ten studies were found that investigated non-pharmacological treatment programs that led to a significant and clinically relevant improvement in HRQoL compared with usual care or no treatment. Non-pharmacological interventions consisting of pulmonary rehabilitation, education and counseling-based training programs, and breathing exercises can improve the HRQoL of COPD patients.

description: Arabic is one of the oldest languages still in use today. As a result, several Arabic-speaking regions have developed dialects that are unique to them. Dialect and emotion recognition have various uses in Arabic text analysis, such as determining an online customer's origin based on their comments. Furthermore, intelligent chatbots that are aware of a user's emotions can respond appropriately to the user. Current research in emotion detection in the Arabic language lacks awareness of how emotions are exhibited in different dialects, which motivates the work found in this study. This research addresses the problems of dialect and emotion classification in Arabic. Specifically, this is achieved by building a novel framework that can identify and predict Arabic dialects and emotions from a given text. The framework consists of three modules: A text-preprocessing module, a classification module, and a clustering module with the novel capability of building new dialect-aware emotion lexicons. The proposed framework generated a new emotional lexicon for different dialects. It achieved an accuracy of 88.9% in classifying Arabic dialects, which outperforms the state-of-the-art results by 6.45 percentage points. Furthermore, the framework achieved 89.1-79% accuracy in detecting emotions in the Egyptian and Gulf dialects, respectively.

description: We present full numerical solutions to the system of a global string embedded in a six-dimensional space time. The solutions are regular everywhere and do confine gravity in our four-dimensional world. They depend on the value of the (negative) cosmological constant in the bulk and on the parameters of the Higgs potential, and we perform a systematic study to determine their allowed values. We also comment on the relation of our results with previous studies on the same subject and on their phenomenological viability.

Os procedimentos propostos por Menon e Dixon (1995 e 1997), foram adotados para avaliar o fluxo do comércio intra-indústria e a sua contribuição para o crescimento do comércio total entre os países. Os resultados indicaram que, para muitos setores, com a formação do Mercosul, o comércio entre Brasil e Argentina, antes caracterizado por relações comerciais do tipo interindústria passaram a ser caracterizados por fluxos comerciais intra-indústrias. Ainda há muita especialização produtiva entre essas economias, de tal forma que a contribuição do comércio intra-indústria para o comércio total, na maioria dos períodos, mostrou-se inferior a contribuição do comércio interindústria. -------------------------------------------------------------- This paper analyzes the evolution of the Intra-Industry (CII), as well as their contribution to the growth of trade flow between Brazil and Argentina, from 1990 to 2004. The procedures proposed by Menon and Dixon (1995 and 1997), were adopted to evaluate the flow of intra-industry and its contribution to the growth of total trade between the countries. The results indicated that for many sectors, with the formation of Mercosur, trade between Brazil and Argentina, before characterized by trade type interindústria became characterized by intra-industry trade flows. There is still much specialization among these economies, so that the contribution of intra-industry trade to total in most periods, was less than the contribution of trade interindustry.

description: We have calculated the next-to-leading order cross section for the inclusive production of charm quarks as a function of the transverse momentum p_T and the rapidity in two approaches using massive or massless charm quarks. For the single-resolved cross section we have derived the massless limit from the massive theory. We find that this limit differs from the genuine massless version with MS-bar factorization by finite corrections. By adjusting subtraction terms we establish a massive theory with MS-bar subtraction which approaches the massless theory very fast with increasing transverse momentum. With these results and including the equivalent results for the direct cross section obtained previously as well as double-resolved contributions, we calculate the inclusive D*+- cross section in gamma-gamma collisions using realistic evolved non-perturbative fragmentation functions and compare with recent data from the LEP collaborations ALEPH, L3 and OPAL. We find good agreement.

description: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of second-line pharmacological treatments in patients with acromegaly resistant to first-generation somatostatin analogues (FG SSA) from the Spanish National Health System (NHS) perspective. A Markov model was developed to analyze the cost-effectiveness of pegvisomant and pasireotide in FG SSA-resistant acromegaly, simulating a cohort of patients from the treatment beginning to death. Treatment with pegvisomant or pasireotide was compared to FG SSA retreatment. Efficacy data were obtained from clinical trials and utilities from the literature. Direct health costs were obtained from Spanish sources (€2018). The Incremental Cost Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) of pegvisomant vs. FG SSA was €85,869/Quality-adjusted life years (QALY). The ICER of pasireotide vs. FG SSA was €551,405/QALY. The ICER was mainly driven by the incremental efficacy (4.41 QALY for pegvisomant vs. FG SSA and 0.71 QALY for pasireotide vs. FG SSA), with a slightly lower increase in costs with pegvisomant (€378,597 vs. FG SSA) than with pasireotide (€393,151 vs. FG SSA). The ICER of pasireotide compared to FG SSA was six times higher than the ICER of pegvisomant vs. FG SSA. Pegvisomant is a more cost-effective alternative for the treatment of acromegaly in FG SSA-resistant patients in the Spanish NHS.

description: Unsharp measurements are increasingly important for foundational insights in quantum theory and quantum information applications. Here, we report an experimental implementation of unsharp qubit measurements in a sequential communication protocol, based on a quantum random access code. The protocol involves three parties; the first party prepares a qubit system, the second party performs operations which return both a classical and quantum outcome, and the latter is measured by the third party. We demonstrate a nearly-optimal sequential quantum random access code that outperforms both the best possible classical protocol and any quantum protocol which utilises only projective measurements. Furthermore, while only assuming that the involved devices operate on qubits and that detected events constitute a fair sample, we demonstrate the noise-robust characterisation of unsharp measurements based on the sequential quantum random access code. We apply this characterisation towards quantifying the degree of incompatibility of two sequential pairs of quantum measurements.

description: During the last years many different researches regarding social spaces have been realized in Rome, sometimes containing different maps representing these experiences. Nevertheless, these processes are very dynamic and the situation of Rome changes every year. For this reason in November, 2017 we decided to realize, during the International Conference "Cities and Self-organization” held in Rome on December 2017, an updated map of all the self-organization experiences within the city of Rome in order to better understand the reach and the meanings of this phenomenon.

The main questions at the base of the present research are: why, even though these spaces are so copious, are not they able in influencing urban policies? Why are they concentrated mainly in some specific quarters of the city? What are their features compared to others European cities? To what extent are they able to change the public institutions?

description: The equations of motion and boundary conditions for the fluctuations around a classical open string, in a curved space-time with torsion, are considered in compact and world-sheet covariant form. The rigidly rotating open strings in Anti de Sitter space with and without torsion are investigated in detail. By carefully analyzing the tangential fluctuations at the boundary, we show explicitly that the physical fluctuations (which at the boundary are combinations of normal and tangential fluctuations) are finite, even though the world-sheet is singular there. The divergent 2-curvature thus seems less dangerous than expected, in these cases. The general formalism can be straightforwardly used also to study the (bosonic part of the) fluctuations around the closed strings, recently considered in connection with the AdS/CFT duality, on AdS_5 \times S^5 and AdS_3 \times S^3 \times T^4.

description: Very-high-energy (VHE) BL Lac spectra extending above $10 \, \rm TeV$ provide a unique opportunity for testing physics beyond the standard model of elementary particle and alternative blazar emission models. We consider the hadron beam, the photon to axion-like particle (ALP) conversion, and the Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) scenarios by analyzing their consequences and induced modifications to BL Lac spectra. In particular, we consider how different processes can provide similar spectral features (e.g. hard tails) and we discuss the ways they can be disentangled. We use HEGRA data of a high state of Markarian 501 and the HESS spectrum of the extreme BL Lac (EHBL) 1ES 0229+200. In addition, we consider two hypothetical EHBLs similar to 1ES 0229+200 located at redshifts $z=0.3$ and $z=0.5$. We observe that both the hadron beam and the photon-ALP oscillations predict a hard tail extending to energies larger than those possible in the standard scenario. Photon-ALP interaction predicts a peak in the spectra of distant BL Lacs at about $20-30 \, \rm TeV$, while LIV produces a strong peak in all BL Lac spectra around $\sim 100 \, \rm TeV$. The peculiar feature of the photon-ALP conversion model is the production of oscillations in the spectral energy distribution, so that its detection/absence can be exploited to distinguish among the considered models. The above mentioned features coming from the three models may be detected by the upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). Thus, future observations of BL Lac spectra could eventually shed light about new physics and alternative blazar emission models, driving fundamental research towards a specific direction.

description: ALICE records Pb-Pb collisions in Run 3 at an unprecedented rate of 50 kHz, storing all data in continuous readout (triggerless) mode. The main purpose of the ALICE online computing farm is the calibration of the detectors and the compression of the recorded data. The detector with the largest data volume by far is the TPC, and the online farm is thus optimized for fast and efficient processing of TPC data during data taking. For this, ALICE leverages heavily the compute power of GPUs. When there is no beam in the LHC, the GPU-equipped farm performs the offline reconstruction of the recorded data, in addition to the GRID. Since the majority of the compute capacity of the farm is in the GPUs, and meanwhile also some GRID sites begin to offer GPU resources, ALICE has started to offload other parts of the offline reconstruction to GPUs as well. The talk will present the experience and processing performance with GPUs in the Run 3 Pb-Pb and pp online and offline processing in ALICE.

We show that these functions are useful to relate the slowing down of the dynamics to the structure of the energy landscape near the glass transition temperature. They show a short time regime during which the system remains in the basin of a particular IS and a long time regime where it explores the neighborhood of an IS. We compare the behavior of these functions in a binary Lennard-Jones supercooled liquid and in a model of traps and show that they behave qualitatively different. This comparison reflects the presence/absence of structure in the landscape of the Lennard-Jones/traps models. Possible scenarios for the structure of the landscape which are compatible with these results are discussed.
Sweeping Changes and an Uncertain Legacy: The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017

description:
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 introduced sweeping changes to individual and corporate taxation. We summarize the major provisions, trace the origins of the Act, and compare it to previous tax changes. We also examine the effects on the government budget, economic activity, and distribution of resources. Based on evidence through 2019, we find that the TCJA clearly raised federal debt and increased after-tax incomes, disproportionately increasing incomes for the most affluent. Its effects on GDP and median wages seem modest at best, although clear counterfactuals are difficult to identify. The impact on investment is less certain, and research is only recently emerging that addresses this question. Empirical analysis of longer-term effects may prove difficult due to the disruptions created by the COVID-19 pandemic starting in 2020.

description: Asymmetry in contrarian behavior is investigated within the Galam model of opinion dynamics using update groups of size 3 with two competing opinions A and B. Denoting $x$ and $y$ the respective proportions of A and B contrarians, four schemes of implementations are studied. First scheme activates contrarians after each series of updates with probabilities $x$ and $y$ for agents holding respectively opinion A and B. Second scheme activates contrarians within the update groups only against global majority with probability $x$ when A is majority and $y$ when B is majority. Third scheme considers in-group contrarians acting prior to the local majority update against both local majority and minority opinions. Last scheme activates in-group contrarians prior to the local majority update but only against the local majority. The main result is the loss of the fifty-fifty attractor produced by symmetric contrarians. Producing a bit less contrarians on its own side than the other side becomes the key to win a public debate, which in turn can guarantee an election victory. The associated phase diagram of opinion dynamics is found to exhibit a rich variety of counterintuitive results.

description: This study sought to investigate the impact of gambling habits on HSUVs and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) using SF-36 measure in the Australian general population. Using the 2015 wave of Household Income and Labour Dynamics in Australian survey (n = 17,606) age- and gender-specific HSUVs were estimated according to the severity of gambling problem (measured by the Problem Gambling Severity Index). OLS and Tobit regression models were used to control for demographic and other confounding factors. Marginal effects of the gambling statuses for the expected value of HSUV were estimated to calculate quality-adjusted life year (QALY) loss attributed to gambling. The predicted HSUVs on Australian weights for low- and moderate-risk and problem gamblers were −0.030 (95%CI −0.060 to −0.000), −0.057 (95%CI −0.089 to −0.025) and −0.181 (95%CI −0.239 to −0.123) less than non-gamblers &/or non-problem gamblers. Low HSUVs related to gambling behavior were predicted by age, gender, education, and employment. Gambling was responsible for 443.44 (95%CI −695.16 to −188.13) QALY losses in 2015 in the Australian general population. Gambling is significantly and negatively associated with HRQoL and HSUVs and the magnitude of this association is determined by the severity of the gambling problem.

description: Roussoella japanensis Kaz. Tanaka, J.K. Liu & K.D. Hyde, sp. nov. FIG. 7
Index Fungorum: IF550663
 Etymology. Named after the country from where this fungus was collected, Japan.
 Saprobic on decaying bamboo culms. Ascostromata 0.5–2 mm diam., immersed under a clypeus, raised, visible, black, dome-shape areas on host surface, uni-biloculate. Locules 190–210 µm high, 500–560 µm diam, depressed globose with a flattened base, single or 2–3 grouped, ostiolate. Beak short papillate, 38–50 µm high, 50–85 µm wide. Peridium 10–15 µm thick at sides, composed of 3–5 layers of polygonal flattened cells (3.5–12.5 × 1.5–2.5 µm), surrounded by wedge-shaped stromatic region (450–800 µm wide at sides) composed of rectangular to polygonal cells (3.5–15 × 4–10 µm). Hamathecium comprising 1–1.5 µm wide, numerous, anastomosing, cellular pseudoparaphyses, branching, rough-walled, and embedded in a gelatinous matrix. Asci 107–132 × 8–9.5 µm, 8-spored, bitunicate, cylindrical, short pedicellate (10–13 µm). Ascospores 16–22 × 5.5–7 µm (x = 19 × 6.5 µm, n = 50), uniseriate, fusiform to ellipsoidal, with a median septum, 2-celled, brown, covered with longitudinal striations and surrounded by an entire sheath of 0.5–4 µm wide. Conidiomata in culture, 300–550 µm high, 900–2000 µm diam, depressed globose, single to grouped, immersed. Peridium 7–12.5 µm wide. Conidiophores absent. Conidiogenous cells phialidic, ampulliform. Conidia 9.5–13 × 4–5 µm, oblong-ellipsoidal, yellowish brown, warty.
 Specimen examined. JAPAN, Kanagawa, Yokohama, Nakaku, Sankei-garden, on twigs of Sasa veitchii var. veitchii; 9 Mar 2004; K . Tanaka & Y . Harada, KT 1651 (holotype HHUF 29217, ex-type living culture JCM 13126 = MAFF 239636).
 Notes: Although Roussoella japanensis produced an asexual morph similar to that of R. hysterioides, the asci and ascospores are considerably smaller than those of R. hysterioides (asci 107–132 × 8–9.5 µm vs. 140–210 × 8–11 µm; ascospores 16–22 × 5.5–7 µm vs. 18–34 × 6–8 µm). Tanaka et al. (2009) identified two Roussoella specimens (HHUF 26988 and KT 1651) as R. hysterioides, but sequence similarity between these fungi is very low (ca. 90.6%) in their ITS regions (Tanaka, unpublished data).

description: Intermediate degree modes of the solar oscillations have previously been used to determine the solar helium abundance to a high degree of precision. However, we cannot expect to observe such modes in other stars. In this work we investigate whether low degree modes that should be available from space-based asteroseismology missions can be used to determine the helium abundance, Y, in stellar envelopes with sufficient precision. We find that the oscillatory signal in the frequencies caused by the depression in Γ_1 in the second helium ionisation zone can be used to determine the envelope helium abundance of low mass main sequence stars. For frequency errors of 1 part in 10^4, we expect errors σ_Y in the estimated helium abundance to range from 0.03 for 0.8M_sun stars to 0.01 for 1.2M_sun stars. The task is more complicated in evolved stars, such as subgiants, but is still feasible if the relative errors in the frequencies are less than 10^{-4}.

Differentiable programming across the PDE and Machine Learning barrier
Creators: name: Bouziani, Nacime
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Partial differential equations (PDEs) are central to describing and modelling complex physical systems that arise in many disciplines across science and engineering. However, in many realistic applications PDE modelling provides an incomplete description of the physics of interest. Machine learning techniques have become increasingly popular in filling the knowledge gap between the fundamental physical laws, expressed as differential equations, and the real-world phenomena studied by scientists and engineers. The emergence of this approach urges the need for scientific simulation frameworks that allow for the efficient development and deployment of models coupling PDEs and ML. In this thesis, we employ a differentiable programming approach to build a highly efficient and composable interface that provides researchers, engineers, and domain experts with diverse backgrounds with a highly productive way to run high-performance simulations coupling PDEs, implemented using the finite element method (FEM) in Firedrake, and machine learning models, specified in PyTorch. The resulting framework maintains separation of concerns while only requiring trivial changes to existing code. This work paves the way for building models that harness the capabilities of machine learning in the context of PDE-based systems that arise in various scientific fields, spanning from geoscience to structural mechanics to quantum mechanics.
