Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2015
Subjects: 300 Social sciences, sociology & anthropology

description: Wie sind materielle Ressourcen in der Schweiz verteilt? Was sind Ursachen, was sind Konsequenzen? Über die tatsächliche Situation der ökonomischen Ungleichheit in der Schweiz ist überraschend wenig bekannt und bestehende empirische Befunde mitunter widersprüchlich. Die vorliegende Dissertation hat zum Ziel, zu prüfen, inwieweit sich diese Lücken mit Hilfe von Steuerdaten schliessen lassen. Nach einem Überblick über theoretische Erklärungsansätze zu Ungleichheit und Ungleichheitsentwicklung erfolgt eine Einschätzung, ob Steuerdaten einen empirischen Beitrag zu den jeweiligen theoretischen Ansätzen leisten können. Anschliessend werden Konzepte zur idealen Definition ökonomischer Ressourcen und Ungleichheit beschrieben, und es wird geprüft, ob und wie der Forscher diesem Ideal auf Basis von Schweizer Steuerdaten gerecht werden kann. Ein weiterer Teil der Dissertation besteht aus vertiefenden Fallstudien zur Ungleichheitsentwicklung in der Schweiz auf Basis kantonaler Steuerdaten, die im Rahmen des SNF-Projekts „Ungleichheit der Einkommen und Vermögen in der Schweiz“ gesammelt wurden. Ziel dieses Teils ist es, Ungleichheitsentwicklungen zu erklären. Konkret wird untersucht, ob und wie sich die demographische Entwicklung, Migrationsströme und die Entwicklung von Vermögen und Vermögenseinkünften auf die ökonomische Ungleichheit auswirken.

description: We study the protocol of qudit teleportation using quantum systems subjected to several kinds of noise for arbitrary dimensionality $d$. We consider four classes of noise: dit-flip, $d$-phase-flip, dit-phase-flip and depolarizing, each of them corresponding to a family of Weyl operators, introduced via Kraus formalism. We derive a general expression for the average fidelity of teleportation in arbitrary dimension $d$ for any combination of noise on the involved qudits. Under a different approach we derive the average fidelity of teleportation for a more general scenario involving the $d$-dimensional generalization of amplitude damping noise as well. We show that all possible scenarios may be classified in four different behaviours and discuss the cases in which it is possible to improve the fidelity by increasing the associated noise fractions. All our results are in agreement with previous analysis by Fortes and Rigolin for the case of qubits (Phys. Rev. A, 92 012338, 2015).

description: Quantum information processing is likely to have far-reaching impact in the field of artificial intelligence. While the race to build an error-corrected quantum computer is ongoing, noisy, intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices provide an immediate platform for exploring a possible quantum advantage through hybrid quantum--classical machine learning algorithms. One example of such a hybrid algorithm is "quantum kitchen sinks", which builds upon the classical algorithm known as "random kitchen sinks" to leverage a gate model quantum computer for machine learning applications. We propose an alternative algorithm called "adiabatic quantum kitchen sinks", which employs an adiabatic quantum device to transform data features into new features in a non-linear manner, which can then be employed by classical machine learning algorithms. We present the effectiveness of our algorithm for performing binary classification on both a synthetic dataset and a real-world dataset. In terms of classification accuracy, our algorithm significantly enhances the performance of a classical linear classifier on the studied binary classification tasks and can potentially be implemented on a current adiabatic quantum device to solve practical problems.

Do individual directors matter?
Creators: name: Senn, Markus
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2014
Subjects: 650 Management & public relations

description: Paper 1: Pilot study of Swiss firms Abstract Using a fixed effects approach, we investigate whether the presence of specific individuals on Swiss firms’ boards affects firm performance and the policy choices they make. We find evidence for a substantial impact of these directors’ presence on their firms. Moreover, the director effects are correlated across policies and performance measures but uncorrelated to the directors’ background. We find these results interesting but conclude that they should to be substantiated on a dataset that is larger and better understood by researchers. Also, further tests are required to rule out methodological concerns. Paper 2: Evidence from the S&P 1,500 Abstract We ask whether directors on corporate boards contribute to firm performance as individuals. From the universe of the S&P 1,500 firms since 1996 we track 2,062 directors who serve on multiple boards over extended periods of time. Our initial findings suggest that the presence of these directors is associated with substantial performance shifts (director fixed effects). Closer examination shows that these effects are statistical artifacts and we conclude that directors are largely fungible. Moreover, we contribute to the discussion of the fixed effects method. In particular, we highlight that the selection of the randomization method is pivotal when generating placebo benchmarks. Paper 3: Robustness, statistical power, and important directors Abstract This article provides a better understanding of Senn’s (2014) findings: The outcome that individual directors are unrelated to firm performance proves robust against different estimation models and testing strategies. By looking at CEOs, the statistical power of the placebo benchmarking test is evaluated. We find that only the stronger tests are able to detect CEO fixed effects. However, these tests are not suitable to analyze directors. The suitable tests would detect director effects if the inter quartile range of the true effects amounted to 3 percentage points ROA. As Senn (2014) finds no such effects for outside directors in general, we focus on groups of particularly important directors (e.g., COBs, non-busy directors, successful directors). Overall, our evidence suggests that the members of these groups are not individually associated with firm performance either. Thus, we confirm that individual directors are largely fungible. If the individual has an effect on performance, it is of small magnitude.
Schwinger, Pegg and Barnett approaches and a relationship between angular and Cartesian quantum descriptions II: Phase Spaces

description: Following the discussion -- in state space language -- presented in a preceding paper, we work on the passage from the phase space description of a degree of freedom described by a finite number of states (without classical counterpart) to one described by an infinite (and continuously labeled) number of states. With that it is possible to relate an original Schwinger idea to the Pegg and Barnett approach to the phase problem. In phase space language, this discussion shows that one can obtain the Weyl-Wigner formalism, for both Cartesian {\em and} angular coordinates, as limiting elements of the discrete phase space formalism.

Lett. 118, 133604 (2017)], which demonstrated two-photon blockade in a driven nonlinear system (composed of a harmonic cavity with a driven atom), we show that two-photon blockade and other nonstandard types of photon blockade and photon-induced tunneling can be generated in a driven harmonic cavity without an atom or any other kind of nonlinearity, but instead coupled to a nonlinear (i.e., squeezed) reservoir. We also simulate these single- and two-photon effects with squeezed coherent states and displaced squeezed thermal states.

description: Wearable sensors are gaining in popularity because they enable outdoor experimental monitoring. This paper presents a cost-effective sensorised insole based on a mesh of tactile capacitive sensors. Each sensor's spatial resolution is about 4 taxels/cm^2 in order to have an accurate reconstruction of the contact pressure distribution. As a consequence, the insole provides information such as contact forces, moments, and center of pressure. To retrieve this information, a calibration technique that fuses measurements from a vacuum chamber and shoes equipped with force/torque sensors is proposed. The validation analysis shows that the best performance achieved a root mean square error (RMSE) of about 7 N for the contact forces and 2 N m for the contact moments when using the force/torque shoe data as ground truth. Thus, the insole may be an alternative to force/torque sensors for certain applications, with a considerably more cost-effective and less invasive hardware.

description: Die Dissertation betrachtet herkömmliche Untersuchungen zum Thema Sprachloyalität bzw. Spracherhalt kritisch und eröffnet neue Perspektiven auf damit zusammenhängende Fragestellungen. Anstelle des meist gewählten, exklusiven Fokus auf die Beziehung zur (einzigen) Muttersprache und deren intergenerationellen Weitergabe, wird hier vorgeschlagen, Sprachbeziehungen und Sprachweitergabe als Formen von Mehrsprachigkeit zu untersuchen. Es soll dabei den theoretischen und methodologischen Herausforderungen begegnet werden, Sprachbeziehungen und Sprachweitergabe als Prozesse in ihren zeitlichen, räumlichen und sozialen Dimensionen anzugehen und im Spannungsfeld gesellschaftlicher und individueller Vorstellungen und Praktiken einzubetten. In linguistisch-ethnographischer Herangehensweise werden dazu sprachbiografische Interviews und unterschiedliche Interaktionssituationen aus dem Alltag von binationalen, russisch-französischsprachigen Paaren und Familien in der französischsprachigen Schweiz im Hinblick auf Sprachideologien, narrative Identität und Sprachsozialisation analysiert. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Bedeutung der einzelnen Sprachen des individuellen Sprachenrepertoires für die russischsprachigen PartnerInnen (Sprachbeziehungen) und der Weitergabe des Russischen an die Kinder. Die Dissertation stellt somit auch eine der wenigen Arbeiten dar, welche das Thema des Spracherhalts in zweisprachig-binationalen Paaren/Familien in der Schweiz untersucht, und die erste, die sich dieser Frage in Bezug auf die Sprachkombination Russisch und Französisch annimmt.

description: Experiments and theory have shown that cell monolayers and epithelial tissues exhibit solid-liquid and glass-liquid transitions. These transitions are biologically relevant to our understanding of embryonic development, wound healing, and cancer. Current models typically consider purely two-dimensional monolayers with no overlaps between neighboring cells. In reality, overlaps are important, and they may be precursors of cell extrusion -- a key biophysical process to maintain homeostasis in epithelial tissues. Here, we use a multi-phase field model to study the solid-liquid transition in a confluent monolayer of deformable cells which can overlap. When cells overlap rather than deform, we find that the melting transition changes from continuous to discontinuous, and that there is an intermittent regime close to the transition, where solid and liquid states alternate over time. By studying the dynamics of $5$- and $7$-fold disclinations in the hexagonal lattice formed by the cell centers, we observe that these correlate with spatial fluctuations in the cellular overlap, and that cell extrusion tends to initiate near $5$-fold disclinations.

description: Puntius tetrazona is a small tropical ornamental fish with high economic value. The body length , caudal fin length, segment number and segment length of caudal fin of P. tetrazona (wild type, WT) and (long fin, LF) were statistically analyzed. The results showed that there was no significant difference in BL between the WT and LF, but significant differences in CL, SN and SL (P<0.0001). Compared with the WT, the caudal fin of LF P. tetrazona grew more rapidly, the increasing frequency of the number of segments of caudal fin was almost the same , and the length of caudal fin segments was longer. Transcriptome analysis shows the differently expressed genes KEGG pathway were significantly enriched to cell cycle and DNA replication signal pathways related to cell proliferation (P < 0.05). The results of qRT-PCR were consistent with those of RNA sequencing. The results of this study lay a foundation for identifying the mutant gene and revealing the detailed molecular mechanism of the formation of the long caudal fin.

Creators: name: Ressia, Jorge Luis
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2012
Subjects: 000 Computer science, knowledge & systems
510 Mathematics

description: Reflective applications are able to query and manipulate the structure and behavior of a running system. This is essential for highly dynamic software that needs to interact with objects whose structure and behavior are not known when the application is written. Software analysis tools, like debuggers, are a typical example. Oddly, although reflection essentially concerns run-time entities, reflective applications tend to focus on static abstractions, like classes and methods, rather than objects. This is phenomenon we call the object paradox, which makes developers less effective by drawing their attention away from run-time objects. To counteract this phenomenon, we propose a purely object-centric approach to reflection. Reflective mechanisms provide object-specific capabilities as another feature. Object-centric reflection proposes to turn this around and put object-specific capabilities as the central reflection mechanism. This change in the reflection architecture allows a unification of various reflection mechanisms and a solution to the object paradox. We introduce Bifr\"ost, an object-centric reflective system based on first-class meta-objects. Through a series of practical examples we demonstrate how object-centric reflection mitigates the object paradox by avoiding the need to reflect on static abstractions. We survey existing approaches to reflection to establish key requirements in the domain, and we show that an object-centric approach simplifies the meta-level and allows a unification of the reflection field. We demonstrate how development itself is enhanced with this new approach: talents are dynamically composable units of reuse, and object-centric debugging prevents the object paradox when debugging. We also demonstrate how software analysis is benefited by object-centric reflection with Chameleon, a framework for building object-centric analysis tools and MetaSpy, a domain-specific profiler

description: We consider a large class of Ramsey interferometry protocols which are enhanced by squeezing and un-squeezing operations before and after a phase signal is imprinted on the collective spin of $N$ particles. We report an analytical optimization for any given particle number and strengths of (un-)squeezing. These results can be applied even when experimentally relevant decoherence processes during the squeezing and un-squeezing interactions are included. Noise between the two interactions is however not considered in this work. This provides a generalized characterization of squeezing echo protocols, recovering a number of known quantum metrological protocols as local sensitivity maxima, thereby proving their optimality. We discover a single new protocol. Its sensitivity enhancement relies on a double inversion of squeezing. In the general class of echo protocols, the newly found over-un-twisting protocol is singled out due to its Heisenberg scaling even at strong collective dephasing.

We comment on the consequences of these results for the holographically related three-dimensional theories living on the world volume of a stack of such resolved M2-branes.

description: While some green solutions and advanced materials have been proposed in recent decades to improve on traditional conservation processes, conservation practice still uses petroleum-based compounds and procedures that lack time- or energy-efficiency, and are not sustainable. Tackling these issues, the GREENART project (GREen ENdeavor in Art ResToration, Horizon Europe, 2022–2025) is developing green and sustainable systems for the remedial and preventive conservation of works of art, following a ‘safe and sustainable by design’ approach where green components are firstly screened and then used to formulate new materials. This contribution reviews traditional and state-of-the-art materials used in protective coatings, foams and packaging materials, consolidants, cleaning systems, and monitoring tools, and introduces the novel solutions the GREENART project is developing for each of these classes. Some of the new products are already being assessed, and the main processes in the formulation of the solutions are outlined. Life cycle assessment will be carried out before the commercial production of the new systems to demonstrate their full sustainability. Finally, perspectives are discussed, highlighting the role of GREENART in promoting a green transition for cultural heritage preservation.

description: Indonesia has set the target that by the year 2020 its emissions of greenhouse gases will be reduced by 26 per cent relative to business-as-usual conditions. This article analyses the effectiveness of a subsidy to the use of land in forestry as a means of achieving this goal. The analysis uses a general equilibrium model of the Indonesian economy characterised by explicit treatment of land use, disaggregated by industry and by region. The results of the analysis indicate that the subsidy cost of permanently reducing carbon emissions by 26 per cent is a little over US$1 per metric tonne of carbon emissions abated. This cost needs to be compared with that of alternative instruments and with the price of carbon that might be agreed under the proposed Reducing Emissions through Deforestation and Land Degradation (REDD) scheme, to be administered through the World Bank and the United Nations.

The calculated excitation curves are shown to be the result of interplay between potential-type longitudinal and string-type transverse vibrations. The results are compared with recent lattice data.

description: The prolonged drought from 2006–07 to 2008–09 in south-eastern Australia presented severe difficulties for dry-land and irrigation farmers in the southern Murray-Darling basin. A dynamic multi-regional computable general equilibrium model (TERMH2O) is used to estimate the economy-wide small region impacts during and after drought. Drought reduces real GDP in some small regions by up to 20 per cent. Irrigation water trading and farm factor movements alleviate losses. The drought results in an estimated 6000 jobs being lost across the southern basin. Depressed farm investment during drought results in farm capital not returning to baseline levels after drought. Consequently, job numbers in 2017–18 remain 1500 below forecast in the southern basin.

description: The paper provides new experimental evidence for vulnerable artifacts on the dependence of failure strain on the loading rate corresponding to typical environmental loads lasting between hours and months. Animal glue-based ground was chosen for this study as an easily available, hygroscopic and brittle material as well as due to its abundance in collections and its relevance when discussing the risk of mechanical damage to objects. Gesso specimens were tested using dynamic mechanical analysis and tensile testing at different frequencies, under a variety of loading rates and temperatures. The time-temperature superposition principle was used to predict the material response to slow deformations (lasting hours to months) that are otherwise inaccessible on laboratory timescales. The results demonstrate that brittle materials such as animal glue-based grounds do not benefit from longer cycles of applied loads as failure strain is not time-dependent within the investigated timescale.

description: We introduce a measure of both quantum as well as classical correlations in a quantum state, the entanglement of purification. We show that the (regularized) entanglement of purification is equal to the entanglement cost of creating a state $ρ$ asymptotically from maximally entangled states, with negligible communication. We prove that the classical mutual information and the quantum mutual information divided by two are lower bounds for the regularized entanglement of purification. We present numerical results of the entanglement of purification for Werner states in ${\cal H}_2 \otimes {\cal H}_2$.

Theory of response to perturbations in non-Hermitian systems using five-Hilbert-space reformulation of unitary quantum mechanics

description: In conventional Schrödinger representation the unitarity of the evolution of bound states is guaranteed by the Hermiticity of the Hamiltonian. A non-unitary isospectral simplification of the Hamiltonian, $\mathfrak{h} \to H=Ω\,\mathfrak{h}\,Ω\neq H^\dagger$ induces the change ${\cal L} \to {\cal K}$ of the Hilbert space of states, reflected by the loss of the Hermiticity of $H\neq H^\dagger$. In such a reformulation of the theory the introduction of an {\it ad hoc} inner-product metric reconverts ${\cal K}$ into the third, correct physical Hilbert space ${\cal H}$, unitarily equivalent to ${\cal L}$. The situation encountered, typically, in ${\cal PT}-$symmetric or relativistic quantum mechanics is shown more complicated after an inclusion of perturbations. The formulation and solution of the problem are presented. Some of the consequences relevant, e.g., in the analysis of stability are discussed.

description: Polymer translocation through a nanopore in a membrane investigated theoretically. Recent experiments on voltage-driven DNA and RNA translocations through a nanopore indicate that the size and geometry of the pore are important factors in polymer dynamics. A theoretical approach is presented which explicitly takes into account the effect of the nanopore length and diameter for polymer motion across the membrane. It is shown that the length of the pore is crucial for polymer translocation dynamics. The present model predicts that for realistic conditions (long nanopores and large external fields) there are two regimes of translocation depending on polymer size: for polymer chains larger than the pore length, the velocity of translocation is nearly constant, while for polymer chains smaller than the pore length the velocity increases with decreasing polymer size. These results agree with experimental data.

description: We present a new estimate of the mass of the Milky Way, inferred via a Bayesian approach by making use of tracers of the circular velocity in the disk plane and stars in the stellar halo, as from the publicly available {\tt galkin} compilation. We use the rotation curve method to determine the dark matter distribution and total mass under different assumptions for the dark matter profile, while the total stellar mass is constrained by surface stellar density and microlensing measurements. We also include uncertainties on the baryonic morphology via Bayesian model averaging, thus converting a potential source of systematic error into a more manageable statistical uncertainty. We evaluate the robustness of our result against various possible systematics, including rotation curve data selection, uncertainty on the Sun's velocity $V_0$, dependence on the dark matter profile assumptions, and choice of priors. We find the Milky Way's dark matter virial mass to be $\log_{10}M_{200}^{\rm DM}/ {\rm M_\odot} = 11.92^{+0.06}_{-0.05}{\rm(stat)}\pm{0.28}\pm0.27{\rm(syst)}$ ($M_{200}^{\rm DM}=8.3^{+1.2}_{-0.9}{\rm(stat)}\times10^{11}\,{\rm M_\odot}$). We also apply our framework to Gaia DR2 rotation curve data and find good statistical agreement with the above results.

description: Several phenomenological features of fermion masses and mixings can be accounted for by a simple model for fermion mass matrices, which suggests an underlying U(2) horizontal symmetry. In this context, it is also proposed how an approximate quark-lepton symmetry can be achieved without unified gauge theories.

description: We present Mockingjay as a new speech representation learning approach, where bidirectional Transformer encoders are pre-trained on a large amount of unlabeled speech. Previous speech representation methods learn through conditioning on past frames and predicting information about future frames. Whereas Mockingjay is designed to predict the current frame through jointly conditioning on both past and future contexts. The Mockingjay representation improves performance for a wide range of downstream tasks, including phoneme classification, speaker recognition, and sentiment classification on spoken content, while outperforming other approaches. Mockingjay is empirically powerful and can be fine-tuned with downstream models, with only 2 epochs we further improve performance dramatically. In a low resource setting with only 0.1% of labeled data, we outperform the result of Mel-features that uses all 100% labeled data.

description: A dynamic model of livestock disease and decentralised economic behaviour is constructed as a jointly determined system. By accounting for feedbacks between behavioural choices and disease outcomes, the model captures the endogenous nature of infection risks. Government mandated testing of livestock herds and how private biosecurity incentives are affected by the structure of disease eradication polices are considered. How well disease control policies are targeted affects their effectiveness and may result in farmers substituting government testing and disease surveillance for private biosecurity. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that failing to account for feedbacks between the disease ecology and economic systems may overestimate the effectiveness of government disease control policies.
