subject: Economics

description: Real estate is the largest component in most American households' portfolios. Prior studies have shown both negative and positive relations between uncertainty and households' housing decisions. This dissertation makes an effort to reconcile the differences in the literature through theoretical and empirical work that links uncertainty and households' housing decisions from a real options perspective. In the first chapter, I provide novel empirical evidence to show the importance of uncertainty in explaining households' several housing decisions - housing consumption, housing investment and mortgage default. After controlling for unobserved heterogeneity, I find that the effect of uncertainty has opposite signs on housing purchase decisions depending on the type of purchase (primary residence or investment property). I also find that uncertainty contributes to households' default decisions beyond other factors that have previously been identified in the literature. In addition to identifying the sign of the effect of uncertainty, I show that the uncertainty effect varies depending on the household's risk aversion, which is consistent with the predictions from a theoretical real options perspective. The second chapter introduces a real options type of model to explain from a theoretical perspective why the effect of uncertainty on households' home purchase decisions can depend on the type of a home purchase. Based on a real options approach introduced in Miao and Wang (2007) the model captures the dual nature of housing as a consumption good and an investment vehicle. It explains the uncertainty effect on the optimal timing of home purchase decisions either as a consumption good or as an investment. Unlike previous studies that rely on risk-neutral assumptions in the valuations of real options in explaining uncertainty effect on households' decisions, the model recognizes idiosyncratic risks and households' precautionary saving motives which allow the effect of uncertainty to vary across different degrees of risk-aversion. The third chapter introduces a real options type of model to explain the effect of uncertainty on households' default decisions. Unlike previous studies that focus on the link between uncertainty and investment decisions,the model shows the usefulness of a real options approach in explaining households' default decisions. The model predicts a positive relation between uncertainty and households' default decisions, which is consistent with the empirical results from the first chapter.

Triceratops serratus

description: Triceratops serratus, sp. nov. First in importance of the new discoveries is a nearly perfect skull of the genus Triceratops, a typical example of which (T. flabellatus) was described and figured by the writer in the last number of this Journal.* The present skull is more perfect than any hitherto found, and exhibits admirably the strongly marked characters of the genus. It is likewise of gigantic size, being nearly six feet in length (l.8m), although the animal was not fully adult. A striking peculiarity of this skull, which has suggested the specific name, is a series of bony projections on the median line of the parietal crest. The latter is elevated along this line to support them, and the sides descend rapidly to their union with the squamosals. There is a second series of elevations along the middle of the squamosal bone as it falls away from the base of the horn-core, but these are much less prominent. The orbit is nearly circular in form, instead of oval, and is situated above, and forward of its position in the species referred to. The quadrato-jugal meets the anterior process of the squamosal, forming a closer union than in the skull previously figured. In this respect, and in the elevations on the squamosal, it approaches a much smaller specimen at present referred to the genus Ceratops. *This Journal, vol. xxxviii, pp. 501-506, December, 1889. The nasal horn-core is wanting in the present specimen, as it was not ossified with the nasals. It projected upward and forward. The nasal bones extend outside the superior branch of the premaxillaries, the lateral suture uniting the two being nearly vertical. The present specimen is from the Ceratops beds of Wyoming, in essentially the same horizon of the Laramie as the skull of Triceratops flabellatus, to which reference has been made.

description: We analyze the production of multileptons in the simplest supergravity model with bilinear violation of R parity at the Fermilab Tevatron. Despite the small R-parity violating couplings needed to generate the neutrino masses indicated by current atmospheric neutrino data, the lightest supersymmetric particle is unstable and can decay inside the detector. This leads to a phenomenology quite distinct from that of the R-parity conserving scenario. We quantify by how much the supersymmetric multilepton signals differ from the R-parity conserving expectations, displaying our results in the $m_0 \otimes m_{1/2}$ plane. We show that the presence of bilinear R-parity violating interactions enhances the supersymmetric multilepton signals over most of the parameter space, specially at moderate and large $m_0$.

description: USFS 2019 is a proletarian Sagittarian comedy in three-ish parts. It attempts to narrativize the author’s experiences and family history under the guise of a century-later update of Norman Maclean’s USFS 1919: The Ranger, the Cook, and a Hole in the Sky. The story is also rejection the binaries, consumerism, and anthropocentrism that dominate American culture, and it is neurodivergent and millennial as hell. Besides being more faithful to the author’s personal experiences than traditional narrative conventions, USFS 2019 is a novel-length love letter—in discreet terms to Montana, and in overt terms to pop culture and dad jokes. Its full digital conception is accompanied by an original game. Let’s hear it for the woods.
The Emerging Issue-3 Revision of the CCSDS-123.0-B Low-Completity Lossless & Near-Lossless Multispectral & Hyperspectral Image Compression Standard
Creators: name: Kiely, Aaron
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The CCSDS-123.0-B Low-Complexity Lossless and Near-Lossless Multispectral & Hyperspectral Image Compression standard provides state-of-the-art compression for imaging spectrometer data. Issue 1 of this standard, published in 2012, provides only lossless compression capability. In 2019, Issue 2 was published, adding new features and in particular augmenting the compressor to provide also near-lossless compression, i.e., compression with a user-specified error limit in each spectral band. This presentation will describe the Issue 3 revision currently under development by the CCSDS Data Compression working group. This revision will provide region-of-interest compression capability. That is, a user-provided spatial classification map can be used to specify different data fidelity parameters in different image regions. This would, for example, allow an onboard classification algorithm to identify the most important regions of an image, or regions obscured by clouds, and adjust compression fidelity accordingly in each region to maximize value of imaging spectrometer data returned over constrained space communication links. The revision also aims to add an option that is unrelated to region-of-interest compression but can improve compression effectiveness in some cases.

Higher-order Balmer line indices in alpha/Fe-enhanced stellar population models

description: We have computed the higher-order Balmer absorption line indices Hgamma and Hdelta (Worthey & Ottaviani 1997) for stellar population models with variable element ratios. The response of these indices to abundance ratio variations is taken from detailed line formation and model atmosphere calculations. We find that Hgamma and Hdelta, unlike Hbeta, are very sensitive to alpha/Fe ratio changes at super-solar metallicities. Both line indices increase significantly with increasing alpha/Fe ratio. This effect cannot be neglected when these line indices are used to derive the ages of metal-rich, unresolved stellar populations like early-type galaxies. We re-analyze the elliptical galaxy sample of Kuntschner (2000), and show that consistent age estimates from Hbeta and Hgamma are obtained, only if the effect of alpha/Fe enhancement on Hgamma is taken into account in the models. This result rectifies a problem currently present in the literature, namely that Hgamma and Hdelta have up to now led to significantly younger ages for early-type galaxies than Hbeta. Our work particularly impacts on the interpretation of intermediate to high-redshift data, for which only the higher-order Balmer lines are accessible observationally.

description: Over the years, in India, plethora of approaches has been taken to organize farmers, especially smallholder farmers, in order to enhance their farm profitability. The concept of ‘Cooperative’ was one of the options available for the producers to get organized themselves as an active player in the supply-chain by value addition and business ownership. However, the cooperative system in the country had several shortcomings. Hence, a new legal entity, “Producer Companies” was introduced by the amendment of Companies Act 1956 during 2002. This Farmer Producer Organization (FPO) model under the new company act 2002 is a hybrid between a private limited company and a corporative society. Most of the producer companies are start-ups and promoted by NGOs. The robust governance and management of this model in India and promotion of this concept may bring prosperity among smallholder farmers. However, the best practices followed by the successful producer companies across the country in awareness creation, capacity building, promotional efforts and operational management etc. are not well documented and disseminated. This paper examines the experience of five unique set of FPOs running legally and successfully for three years from Tamil Nadu of India. The selected FPOs were NABARD and SFAC promoted. Based on the findings on the challenges faced in formulation of FPOs; the intervention for further up scaling was identified to make this a sustainable model in future.

description: The formation of H2 and HD molecules on interstellar dust grains is studied using rate equation and master equation models. Rate equations are used in the analysis of laboratory experiments which examine the formation of molecular hydrogen on astrophysically relevant surfaces. However, under interstellar conditions, rate equations are not suitable for the calculation of reaction rates on dust-grain surfaces. Due to the low flux and the sub-micron size of the grains, the populations of H and D atoms on a single grain are likely to be small. In this case the reaction rates are dominated by fluctuations and should be calculated using stochastic methods. The rate of molecular hydrogen formation in interstellar clouds is evaluated using the master equation, taking into account the distribution of grain sizes.

description: China’s soft power push is accelerating at a time traditional powers such as the European Union and the United States are perceived to be scaling back their global commitments on the African continent. This has given more vigour and focus on what continues to be a deliberate, long term, and sustained Grand Strategy for China and it’s ambition. China’s leaders have become more adept and attentive to pursuing strategic goals without relying on traditional tools of foreign relations. Moreover, with the growth of China’s global influence, Beijing is less averse to boldly promoting China’s values and models than it had been in the past. Many within the Chinese political establishment welcome this as a strategic opportunity to offer alternatives to Western norms on the African continent and beyond. Likewise, many African leaders, states, regional organizations as well as the continental organization on the African continent welcome this alternative option. With China’s Grand Strategy now well-articulated, its soft power initiatives can be expected to expand in tandem with its political and economic activities. Nowhere is this more evident than on the continent of Africa. With a diverse and nearly endless potential of untapped natural resources, nations worldwide look to strengthen their ties with African nations. This article analyzes aspects of current Sino-African relations and seeks to explore the potential motives and activities of China in Africa and the potential corollaries concerning the global economy. With a focus that highlights the approach China has taken in Africa this article goes further to analyze China’s methodology and the potential influence on future and present geopolitical relations, it has become clear that the continent of Africa holds a highly valuable piece of the global puzzle. This article aims to stimulate and implore further study regarding the implication of soft power politics and it’s long-term effects on numerous developing nations situated in Africa. Furthermore, this article provides insight into China’s rising global influence and various policies and practices that have led to diverse views throughout the continent. Lastly, this article takes a look at China and the strengthening of its position on the continent and how China potentially possesses the ability to outperform many of its foreign rivals on the continent.

description: Infection of immature mice with rhinovirus (RV) induces an asthma-like phenotype consisting of type 2 inflammation, mucous metaplasia, eosinophilic inflammation and airways hyperresponsiveness which is dependent on IL-25 and type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Doublecortin-like kinase (DCLK)-1+ tuft cells are a major source of IL-25. We sought to determine the requirement of tuft cells for the RV-induced asthma phenotype in wild-type mice and mice deficient in Pou2f3, a transcription factor required for tuft cell development. C57Bl/6 mice infected with RV-A1B on day 6 of life and RV-A2 on day 13 of life showed increased DCLK1+ positive tuft cells in the large airways. Compared to wild-type mice, RV-infected Pou2f3-/- mice showed reductions in IL-25 mRNA and protein expression, ILC2 expansion, type 2 cytokine expression, mucous metaplasia, lung eosinophils and airway methacholine responsiveness. We conclude that airway tuft cells are required for the asthma phenotype observed in immature mice undergoing repeated RV infections. Furthermore, RV-induced tuft cell development provides a mechanism by which early life viral infections could potentiate type 2 inflammatory responses to future infections.

description: Triceratops prorsus, sp. nov. A second skull of this genus, fully adult, and of nearly equal dimensions, was secured at the same time as the specimen last described. It is in excellent preservation, although somewhat distorted, and evidently belongs to a distinct species. The nasal horn-core and the rostral bone are in position, and perfect. The former is very large, and is directed straight forward, its upper surface being nearly on a line with the superior face of the nasals. It is somewhat oval in transverse section, and pointed in front, the apex being directly above the anterior extremity of the rostral bone. It is so firmly coossified with the nasals that no trace of a suture can be observed. Its external surface is rugose from vascular impressions, indicating that it was covered by horn, thus forming a most powerful weapon. The huge frontal horn-cores are more massive, and less slender, than in the species above described. The parietal crest is not so broad as in the two species last described, but appears to resemble more strongly that of Triceratops horridus, its sides being inclined downward, as if to protect the neck. The rostral bone, likewise, is very similar to that in the last species, but is somewhat more compressed. The two forms may be readily distinguished by the nasal horn-core, for in T. horridus, this is comparatively small, and points directly upward, instead of straight forward, as in the present species. With this skull were found several cervical vertebrae, and some other portions of the skeleton. The atlas, axis, and third vertebra are firmly anchylosed with each other, and their ribs, also, are coossified in the same mass. This union, unknown hitherto among the Dinosauria, was evidently rendered necessary to afford a firm support for the enormous skull. The remaining cervical vertebrae are short and massive, and the articular faces of the centra are concave or nearly flat. The present specimen is from the Laramie of Wyoming, and was found in the same vicinity as the skull above described.

description: Nucleoside analogues like 4-thiouridine (4sU) are used to metabolically label newly synthesized RNA. Chemical conversion of 4sU before sequencing induces T-to-C mismatches in reads sequenced from labelled RNA, allowing to obtain total and labelled RNA expression profiles from a single sequencing library. Cytotoxicity due to extended periods of labelling or high 4sU concentrations has been described, but the effects of extensive 4sU labelling on expression estimates from nucleotide conversion RNA-seq have not been studied. Here, we performed nucleotide conversion RNA-seq with escalating doses of 4sU with short-term labelling (1h) and over a progressive time course (up to 2h) in different cell lines. With high concentrations or at later time points, expression estimates were biased in an RNA half-life dependent manner. We show that bias arose by a combination of reduced mappability of reads carrying multiple conversions, and a global, unspecific underrepresentation of labelled RNA emerging during library preparation and potentially global reduction of RNA synthesis. We developed a computational tool to rescue unmappable reads, which performed favourably compared to previous read mappers, and a statistical method, which could fully remove remaining bias. All methods developed here are freely available as part of our GRAND-SLAM pipeline and grandR package.

Does Implementation Apply Meaning to Public Diplomacy? An Analysis of US Public Diplomacy Toward China

description: Public diplomacy is primarily defined by scholars as an instrument used by states to communicate with foreign publics, build and manage relationships with them, and influence their perspectives to advance national interests and values and especially achieving foreign policy objectives. According to implementation theory, discretion between the policy goal and practice exists in all policy implementation, so as public diplomacy. Implementation matters to public diplomacy because it suggests an implementing actor’s agency to define and operationalize public diplomacy, which often gives meaning to public diplomacy in the long term. While public diplomacy usually aims to build relationships with foreign publics, its implementation usually produces programs that are different from their original program goals. The gap between public diplomacy’s policy objectives and programs implemented on the ground indicated implementation can influence and apply meaning to public diplomacy. Public diplomacy implementation might not only have led to public diplomacy practices that are significantly different from the original goal but may also affect the degree to which those activities can be successful. Theoretically, discretion is exercised through various mechanisms, such as frontline operators’ preference for means over ends, organizational culture and interests, the measurability of the goal, and resources. Therefore, public diplomacy, as a means to implement foreign policy, is likely to be redefined by these factors through the exercise of discretion in implementation. This dissertation examined implementation discretion in the practice of public diplomacy through cases of the US Department of State and the Department of Defense. The findings of this dissertation suggested that implementation can largely explain and apply meaning to public diplomacy. Through practice, public diplomacy became something else which strayed from its original goal. This result implied that public diplomacy is in the eye of the beholder and its meanings can vary in large degree across different actors.

Ceratops paucidens

description: Ceratops paucidens. The specimen recently described by the writer under the name Hadrosaurus paucidens * should probably be referred to the genus Ceratops, as a comparison with more perfect specimens indicates a much closer affinity with that genus than at first supposed. In addition to the maxillary described, one of the premaxillaries is in good preservation. This agrees in general features with the corresponding bone in Triceratops, but is less specialized. Its inner surface is deeply concave, showing that the two premaxillaries did not meet each other closely, as in Triceratops, but apparently only in front. This species, as well as the type of the genus, Ceratops montanus, represents smaller, less specialized forms of the family, and may be from a lower geological horizon than the gigantic reptiles which the writer has recently made known. In addition to the special characters of the Ceratopsidae shown in the skull, as stated by the writer in this Journal (vol. xxxviii, p. 505), the following features seen in other parts of the skeleton may be mentioned: (1) The atlas and axis, and one or more adjoining cervical vertebrge are coössified with each other. (2) Their cervical ribs are likewise firmly united with the same vertebrae. (3) The remaining cervical vertebrae are short, and have the articular faces of the centra nearly flat. (4) The trunk vertebrae have very short centra, with flat articular ends. Above the centra, they resemble the vertebrae of Stegosaurus. (5) The sacrum was strengthened by union with several adjacent vertebrae. (6) The caudal vertebrae are short and rugose, and the tail was of moderate length. (7) The ilium is elongated, especially in front; the ischium slender, and directed backward. (8) The pubis extended forward, and its posterior branch was wanting. (9) The limbs were short and massive, and all four were used in locomotion. (10) The feet were all provided with broad hoofs, as in Stegosaurus.

description: This article aimed to analyze the making of antenatal care (ANC) medical records in midwifery service as an effort to reduce the maternal and infant mortality rates. The importance of medical records in every given midwifery care, particularly the antenatal care, has been strengthened through the legislation. Practically speaking, the health practitioners, especially midwifes are aware of the significance of medical records in midwifery service, however, there are still some problems in their implementation since many incomplete, unclear, and unsustainable medical records were found. On the other hand, people insist on fast and accurate services, thus with poor medical records’ documentation system, it results in counterproductive health services. Specifically, medical records are closely related to the effort of reducing maternal and infant mortality rates and it also works as valid written evidence to protect the midwifes if undesirable incidents may occur to the patients.

description: Biomass-derived porous carbon materials are effective electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), with promising applications in low-temperature fuel cells and metal–air batteries. Herein, we developed a synthesis procedure that used spinach as a source of carbon, iron, and nitrogen for preparing porous carbon nanosheets and studied their ORR catalytic performance. These carbon sheets showed a very high ORR activity with a half-wave potential of +0.88 V in 0.1 M KOH, which is 20 mV more positive than that of commercial Pt/C catalysts. In addition, they showed a much better long-term stability than Pt/C and were insensitive to methanol. The remarkable ORR performance was attributed to the accessible high-density active sites that are primarily from Fe–Nx moieties. This work paves the way toward the use of metal-enriching plants as a source for preparing porous carbon materials for electrochemical energy conversion and storage applications.

description: For a circularly polarized single-color field at a central frequency of $2ω$ the final electron momentum distribution upon strong field ionization does not carry any information about the phase of the initial momentum distribution. Adding a weak, co-rotating, circularly polarized field at a central frequency of $ω$ gives rise to a sub-cycle interference pattern (holographic angular streaking of electrons (HASE)). This interference pattern allows for the retrieval of the derivative of the phase of the initial momentum distribution after tunneling $ϕ^{\prime}_{\mathrm{off}}(p_i)$. A trajectory-based semi-classical model (HASE model) is introduced which links the experimentally accessible quantities to $ϕ^{\prime}_{\mathrm{off}}(p_i)$. It is shown that a change in $ϕ^{\prime}_{\mathrm{off}}$ is equivalent to a displacement in position space $Δx$ of the initial wave packet after tunneling. This offset in position space allows for an intuitive interpretation of the Wigner time delay $Δτ_W$ in strong field ionization for circularly polarized single-color fields. The influence of Coulomb interaction after tunneling is investigated quantitatively.

description: Objective Female sex workers (FSW) have increased risk of HIV infection. Antiretroviral treatment (ART) can improve HIV outcomes and prevent HIV transmission. We analyzed antiretroviral (ARV) drug use and HIV drug resistance among HIV-positive FSW in the Dominican Republic and Tanzania. Methods Plasma samples collected at study entry with viral loads >1,000 copies/mL were tested for ARV drugs and HIV drug resistance. ARV drug testing was performed using a qualitative assay that detects 22 ARV drugs in five classes. HIV genotyping was performed using the ViroSeq HIV-1 Genotyping System. Phylogenetic analyses were performed to determine HIV subtype and assess transmission clusters. Results Among 410 FSW, 144 (35.1%) had viral loads >1,000 copies/mL (DR: n = 50; Tanzania: n = 94). ARV drugs were detected in 36 (25.0%) of 144 samples. HIV genotyping results were obtained for 138 (95.8%) cases. No transmission clusters were observed in either country. HIV drug resistance was detected in 54 (39.1%) of 138 samples (31/35 [88.6%] with drugs detected; 23/103 [22.3%] without drugs detected); 29/138 (21.0%) had multi-class resistance (MCR). None with MCR had integrase strand transfer inhibitor resistance. In eight cases, one or more ARV drug was detected without corresponding resistance mutations; those women were at risk of acquiring additional drug resistance. Using multivariate logistic regression, resistance was associated with ARV drug detection (p<0.001), self-reported ART (full adherence [p = 0.034]; partial adherence [p<0.001]), and duration of HIV infection (p = 0.013). Conclusions In this cohort, many women were on ART, but were not virally suppressed. High levels of HIV drug resistance, including MCR, were observed. Resistance was associated with detection of ARV drugs, self-report of ART with full or partial adherence, and duration of HIV infection. These findings highlight the need for better HIV care among FSW to improve their health, reduce HIV drug resistance, and decrease risk of transmission to others.

description: Magnetic nanostructures on non-magnetic or magnetic substrates have attracted strong attention due to the development of new experimental methods with atomic resolution. Motivated by this progress we have extended the full-potential Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) Green function method to treat non-collinear magnetic nanostructures on surfaces. We focus on magnetic 3d impurity nanoclusters, sitting as adatoms on or in the first surface layer on Ni(001), and investigate the size and orientation of the local moments and moreover the stabilization of non-collinear magnetic solutions. While clusters of Fe, Co, Ni atoms are magnetically collinear, non-collinear magnetic coupling is expected for Cr and Mn clusters on surfaces of elemental ferromagnets. The origin of frustration is the competition of the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling among the Cr or Mn atoms with the antiferromagnetic (for Cr) or ferromagnetic (for Mn) exchange coupling between the impurities and the substrate. We find that Cr and Mn first-neighbouring dimers and a Mn trimer on Ni(001) show non-collinear behavior nearly degenerate with the most stable collinear configuration. Increasing the distance between the dimer atoms leads to a collinear behavior, similar to the one of the single impurities. Finally, we compare some of the non-collinear {\it ab-initio} results to those obtained within a classical Heisenberg model, where the exchange constants are fitted to total energies of the collinear states; the agreement is surprisingly good.

description: We present the results of a detailed study of the central part of the Seyfert galaxy Mkn 938. Observational data were obtained with the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences using integral-field spectrograph MPFS and a scanning Fabry--Perot interferometer. Mkn 938 is interesting for being a result of a merger of two gas-rich galaxies, and we observe the final stage of this interaction accompanied with an extremely powerful burst of star formation and nuclear activity. Our analysis of the kinematics of gas and stars revealed the presence of gas outflow in the circumnuclear region Mkn 938 with velocities ranging from -370 to -480 km/s, and allowed us for the first time to map the high-velocity galactic wind in NaD absorption line on large spatial scale in this galaxy.
