description: We examine the geometrical and topological properties of surfaces surrounding clusters in the 3--$d$ Ising model. For geometrical clusters at the percolation temperature and Fortuin--Kasteleyn clusters at $T_c$, the number of surfaces of genus $g$ and area $A$ behaves as $A^{x(g)}e^{-μ(g)A}$, with $x$ approximately linear in $g$ and $μ$ constant. These scaling laws are the same as those we obtain for simulations of 3--$d$ bond percolation. We observe that cross--sections of spin domain boundaries at $T_c$ decompose into a distribution $N(l)$ of loops of length $l$ that scales as $l^{-τ}$ with $τ\sim 2.2$. We also present some new numerical results for 2--$d$ self-avoiding loops that we compare with analytic predictions. We address the prospects for a string--theoretic description of cluster boundaries.

description: Introducción: Las clínicas docentes odontológicas constituyen centros de alto riesgo de infección por COVID-19 debido a los procedimientos realizados en la boca, la exposición a fluidos y la atención simultánea de pacientes. Esto supone aglomeración de personas, riesgo de contagio y probable diseminación del virus.Objetivo: Describir la adecuación de las clínicas docentes odontológicas en la atención de pacientes y la disminución del riesgo de contagio durante el eventual retorno a clases.Métodos: Se realizó una investigación proyectiva con un diseño descriptivo documental. El universo estuvo formado por docentes, auxiliares y estudiantes. La muestra estuvo integrada por 135 sujetos, quienes accedieron a participar en el estudio y cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Se analizó la información recientemente publicada sobre el tema en inglés y español en distintas bases de datos. Además, se realizó una entrevista participativa para la construcción de una matriz de fortalezas, oportunidades, debilidades y amenazas (FODA).Resultados: Tras el análisis de los resultados del FODA se recomendó redefinir los espacios destinados a la atención odontológica, según un código de colores para representar los riesgos de contagio. El amarillo se emplea para la sala de espera; el naranja, para espacios no generadores de aerosoles; el rojo, para espacios de alto riesgo de contagio; el verde, para descanso del personal, y el azul, para zonas de desinfección.Conclusión: Se deben preparar los ambientes clínicos existentes dentro de los espacios universitarios y adecuarlos a la nueva realidad con el fin de controlar y disminuir la propagación del virus.

description: A time-varying quantile can be fitted to a sequence of observations by formulating a time series model for the corresponding population quantile and iteratively applying a suitably modified state space signal extraction algorithm. It is shown that such time-varying quantiles satisfy the defining property of fixed quantiles in having the appropriate number of observations above and below. Expectiles are similar to quantiles except that they are defined by tail expectations. Like quantiles, time varying expectiles can be estimated by a state space signal extraction algorithm and they satisfy properties that generalize the moment conditions associated with fixed expectiles. Time-varying quantiles and expectiles provide information on various aspects of a time series, such as dispersion and asymmetry, while estimates at the end of the series provide the basis for forecasting. Because the state space form can handle irregularly spaced observations, the proposed algorithms can be easily adapted to provide a viable means of computing spline-based non-parametric quantile and expectile regressions.

description: The decay of 16-N is used to cross check the absolute energy scale calibration for solar neutrinos established by the electron linear accelerator (LINAC). A deuterium-tritium neutron generator was employed to create 16-N via the (n,p) reaction on 16-O in the water of the detector. This technique is isotropic and has different systematic uncertainties than the LINAC. The results from this high statistics data sample agree with the absolute energy scale of the LINAC to better than 1%. A natural source of 16-N from the capture of mu^- on 16-O, which is collected as a background to the solar neutrino analysis, is also discussed.

description: Practicing is a matter of increasing the reliability of ones skills rather than relying on a tool or a strike of genius to get it right. Once perfection has been achieved the individual will aim for higher quality since the effort is more likely to be worthwhile. Furthermore because the returns to achieving perfection are higher the harder it is to achieve, the perfectionist equilibrium only arises in situations where genius is rare and reliability is low. From this follows that as tools improve, even though perfection then has become easier to achieve, professional standards may nonetheless decline. This mechanism is captured in an oligopoly model, where the failure rate and the quality are endogenously determined.

description: We present a characterization of the new Volans-Carina Association (VCA) of stars near the Galactic plane (b ~ -10 deg) at a distance of ~75-100 pc, previously identified as group 30 by Oh et al. (2017). We compile a list of 19 likely members from Gaia DR2 with spectral types B8-M2, and 46 additional candidate members from Gaia DR2, 2MASS and AllWISE with spectral types A0-M9 that require further follow-up for confirmation. We find an isochronal age of $89_{-7}^{+5}$ Myr based on MIST isochrones calibrated with Pleiades members. This new association of stars is slightly younger than the Pleiades, with less members but located at a closer distance, making its members ~3 times as bright than those of the Pleiades on average. It is located further than members of the AB Doradus moving group which have a similar age, but it is more compact on the sky which makes it less prone to contamination from random field interlopers. Its members will be useful benchmarks to understand the fundamental properties of stars, brown dwarfs and exoplanets at ~90 Myr. We also provide an updated version of the BANYAN $Σ$ Bayesian classification tool that includes the Volans-Carina association.

description: In perturbation theory the infrared structure of the electroweak interactions produces large corrections proportional to double logarithms log^2 (s/m^2), similar to Sudakov logarithms in QED, when the scale s is much larger than the typical mass m of the particles running in the loops. These energy growing corrections can be particularly relevant for the planned Next Linear Colliders. We study these effects in the Standard Model for the process e+ e^->f fbar and we compare them with similar corrections coming from SUSY loops.

The Principle of Moderate Differentiation

description: What would happen if firms could collusively choose cost of transport (inconvenience) in Hotelling's spatial model? This paper endogenises inconvenience in a three stage game, where firms choose locations, the inconvenience, and finally compete in price, on the assumption of a common reservation price. The equilibrium of the game reveals a novel mechanism which induces firms to differentiate their products in moderation by locating halfway to the center and choosing inconvenience such that the market remains covered in equilibrium. Furthermore, using Launhardt's model with differential freight rate, it is shown that the collusive inconvenience is a Nash equilibrium.
Disparity among low first ionization potential elements

description: The elemental composition of the solar wind differs from the solar photospheric composition. Elements with low first ionization potential (FIP) appear enhanced compared to O in the solar wind relative to the respective photospheric abundances. This so-called FIP effect is different in the slow solar wind and the coronal hole wind. However, under the same plasma conditions, for elements with similar FIPs such as Mg, Si, and Fe, comparable enhancements are expected. We scrutinize the assumption that the FIP effect is always similar for different low FIP elements, namely Mg, Si, and Fe. We investigate the dependency of the FIP effect of low FIP elements on the O7+/O6+ charge state ratio depending on time and solar wind type. We order the observed FIP ratios with respect to the O7+/O6+ charge state ratio into bins and analyze separately the respective distributions of the FIP ratio of Mg, Si, and Fe for each O7+/O6+ charge state ratio bin. We observe that the FIP effect shows the same qualitative yearly behavior for Mg and Si, while Fe shows significant differences during the solar activity maximum and its declining phase. In each year, the FIP effect for Mg and Si always increases with increasing O7+/O6+ charge state ratio, but for high O7+/O6+ charge state ratios the FIP effect for Fe shows a qualitatively different behavior. During the years 2001-2006, instead of increasing with the O7+/O6+ charge state ratio, the Fe FIP ratio exhibits a broad peak. Also, the FIP distribution per O7+/O6+ charge state bin is significantly broader for Fe than for Mg and Si. These observations support the conclusion that the elemental fractionation is only partly determined by FIP. In particular, the qualitative difference behavior with increasing O7+/O6+ charge state ratio between Fe on the one hand and Mg and Si on the other hand is not yet well explained by models of fractionation.

description: We review the perturbative QCD formalism of hadronic electromagnetic form factors and the color transparency ratio for quasi-exclusive electroproduction of the proton and pion from nuclear targets. We have completed the first full calculations including all leading order quark subprocesses and integrations over distribution amplitudes, including Sudakov effects. For the case of the proton, the calculated result shows scaling beyond $Q^2=10$ GeV$^2$. The calculation incorporating filtering due to the nuclear medium is cleaner than the corresponding calculation in free space because of attenuation of large distance amplitudes. We find that the color transparency ratio is rather insensitive to theoretical uncertainties inherent in the perturbative formalism, such as the choice of the hadron distribution amplitude.

description: The North Caucasus is a strategic region which has attracted the interest of the Russian Federation, the West and Arab countries. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the area has been affected by Islamist propaganda, ethnic tensions, conflicts, and local insurgency which have caused the rise of the terrorist threat.; nowadays the Islamic State propaganda affects the region and threats its security and stability. Recently, the European Union understood the fundamental role of the North Caucasus in the fight against terrorism; the presence of the North Caucasian Diaspora in Europe, notably the Chechens, and the threat of the return of foreign fighters to their homeland using the North Caucasus as a ‘bridge’ between Europe and the Middle East could be considered as a potential menace to the security of the European Union. For these reasons, the cooperation between Moscow and Brussels in the field of counter-terrorism and security is essential, but it is undermined by EU/Russia confrontation/competition in the area of international relations after the Ukrainian Crisis. The aim of this paper is to describe the impact of propaganda and strategic communication of terrorist groups in a vital region such as the North Caucasus and the effects of the current EU/Russia cooperation/confrontation in the field of counter-terrorism and security.

Improving the Estimates of the Risk Premia - Application in the UK Financial Market

description: We develop a methodology for improving the estimate of the risk premia calculated jointly with the asset sensitivities, extending the McElroy-Burmeister approach for estimating the Arbitrage Pricing Theory (Ross 1976) as a restricted nonlinear multivariate regression model using observed macroeconomic risk factors. This allows us to use multiple samples of stocks to estimate and test common risk premia. This simpler expression for the variance-covariance matrix of the estimated parameter allows easier estimate and testing. With large number of stocks and a small number of observations, we use different samples of stocks to estimate vectors of risk premia which are then combined so that a final improved estimate of the risk premium vector is asymptotically unbiased and has minimum variance. We also derive the variance -covariance matrix of the final estimate of the risk premium. We apply the methodology to UK data, using FTSE-350 assets and observed macroeconomic risk factors.

description: Variations in the band structures of C60-polymers are studied, when pi-conjugation conditions are changed. We look at band structures in order to discuss a metal-insulator transition, using a semi-empirical model with the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger type electron-phonon interactions. We find that electronic structures change among direct-gap insulators and the metal, depending on the degree of pi-conjugations. High pressure experiments could observe such pressure-induced metal-insulator transitions.

description: We present high-resolution observations (0".2-1".5) of multiple dense gas tracers, HCN and HCO$^+$ ($J$ = 1-0, 3-2, and 4-3), HNC ($J$ = 1-0), and CS ($J$ = 7-6) lines, toward the nearby luminous infrared galaxy VV 114 with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. All lines are robustly detected at the central gaseous filamentary structure including the eastern nucleus and the Overlap region, the collision interface of the progenitors. We found that there is no correlation between star formation efficiency and dense gas fraction, indicating that the amount of dense gas does not simply control star formation in VV 114. We predict the presence of more turbulent and diffuse molecular gas clouds around the Overlap region compared to those at the nuclear region assuming a turbulence-regulated star formation model. The intracloud turbulence at the Overlap region might be excited by galaxy-merger-induced shocks, which also explains the enhancement of gas-phase CH$_3$OH abundance previously found there. We also present spatially resolved spectral line energy distributions of HCN and HCO$^+$ for the first time, and derive excitation parameters by assuming optically-thin and local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) conditions. The LTE model revealed that warmer, HCO$^+$-poorer molecular gas medium is dominated around the eastern nucleus, harboring an AGN. The HCN abundance is remarkably flat ($\sim$3.5 $\times$ 10$^{-9}$) independently of the various environments within the filament of VV 114 (i.e., AGN, star formation, and shock).

If the latter has the axion mass, $m \sim 10^{-5}$ eV, the former has a mass $M \sim 10^{-5} M_{\odot}$.

One is based on a transgression descent from a D=4 background connection, the other on embedding the abelian model in SU(2). The results agree with earlier cohomology conclusions and can be also used to justify a recent simple heuristic approach. The correction to the naive Chern-Simons term, and its behavior under large gauge transformations are displayed.

Subjects: subject: Neural and Evolutionary Computing (cs.NE)

description: Autoencoders learn data representations through reconstruction. Robust training is the key factor affecting the quality of the learned representations and, consequently, the accuracy of the application that use them. Previous works suggested methods for deciding the optimal autoencoder configuration which allows for robust training. Nevertheless, improving the accuracy of a trained autoencoder has got limited, if no, attention. We propose a new approach that improves the accuracy of a trained autoencoders results and answers the following question, Given a trained autoencoder, a test image, and using a real-parameter optimizer, can we generate better quality reconstructed image version than the one generated by the autoencoder?. Our proposed approach combines both the decoder part of a trained Resitricted Boltman Machine-based autoencoder with the Competitive Swarm Optimization algorithm. Experiments show that it is possible to reconstruct images using trained decoder from randomly initialized representations. Results also show that our approach reconstructed better quality images than the autoencoder in most of the test cases. Indicating that, we can use the approach for improving the performance of a pre-trained autoencoder if it does not give satisfactory results.

description: We summarise the main factors that differentiate impacts of the EU ETS on profitability and market share. By examining and sampling a range of sectors, we present some simple metrics and indicators to help judge the nature of potential impacts. We also consider briefly the mitigation response to these impacts by sectors, and how they may evolve over time. The broad conclusion confirms the aggregate findings presented in the existing literature - more participating sectors are likely to profit under the current ETS structure out to 2012 at the cost of a modest loss of market share, but this may not hold for individual companies and regions. The period 2008-12 can assist technology investments and diversification, providing the continuation and basic principles of the EU ETS post-2012 is quickly defined and incentives are in place for sectors to pursue this.
The gamma gamma to gamma gamma process in the Standard and SUSY models at high energies

description: We study the helicity amplitudes of the process γγ\to γγat high energy, which in the standard and SUSY models first arise at the one-loop order. In the standard model (SM), the diagrams involve W and charged quark and lepton loops, while in SUSY we also have contributions from chargino, charged sfermion and Higgs loop diagrams. The SUSY contributions are most important in the region above the threshold for producing the supersymmetric partners; since there, they interfere most effectively with the primarily imaginary SM amplitudes. Simple expressions for the relevant 1-loop functions are given, which provide a direct overview of the behaviour of the helicity amplitudes in the whole parameter space at high energies. The various characteristics of a large set of observables are studied in detail.

description: This article highlights the conditions under which strategic communication could play an effective and positive role in opening a new scenario for collaboration between the EU and Russia; this with the involvement and active participation of the states belonging to the EU Eastern Partnership as well as to the Eurasian Economic Union. In the first part, the author analyzes the main documents on strategic communication approved by the European institutions, the European Council, Parliament and Commission, in the last period 2015-2016, and highlights the elements of rationality and irrationality that they present as well as the motivations that justify them, also partially illustrated in the appendix of the article. The second part indicates the type of approach that should be followed in the organization and promotion of a strategic communication based on the principle of rationality. Finally, it presents a concrete example of a rational approach in the search for solutions useful to the composition of the current situation of tensions and conflicts, namely, to avoid anti-historical regressions but, instead, to recover a common path of progress between worlds which in any case have important integration processes in place. In this case, the author refers particularly to an important study and debate initiative promoted in 2016 in Europe and the United States by the German foundation F.Ebert.

description: Chile was the first country in the world to implement a comprehensive reform of itselectricity sector in the recent period. Among developing countries only Argentina hashad a comparably comprehensive and successful reform. This paper traces the history ofthe Chilean reform, which began in 1982, and assesses its progress and its lessons. Weconclude that the reform has been very successful. We suggest lessons for the generation,transmission and distribution sectors, as well as the economic regulation of electricity andthe general institutional environment favourable to reform. We note that while the initialmarket structure and regulatory arrangements did give rise to certain problems, theoverall experience argues strongly for the private ownership and operation of theelectricity industry.

description: We introduce a complete set of gauge-invariant variables and a generalized Born-Oppenheimer formulation to search for normalizable zero-energy asymptotic solutions of the Schrodinger equation of SU(2) matrix theory. The asymptotic method gives only ground state candidates, which must be further tested for global stability. Our results include a set of such ground state candidates, including one state which is a singlet under spin(9).

Overview of the Chinese Electricity Industry and Its Current Issues

subject: Classification-JEL: L22, L52, Q48

description: In China, many ongoing problems in the electricity sector can be traced back to the old ‘centrally planned’ economy. Since the start of liberalization in the 1980s, the clash between a liberalized economy (excluding a few so-called strategic industries) and a centrally controlled electricity industry has gradually become more and more apparent. The Chinese electricity industry is in need of constructive restructuring. In the absence of a universal agreement on optimal industry design, the Chinese government should have a firm and clear understanding of the implications of electricity restructuring for long-term social welfare. Otherwise the electricity industry might, again, be locked into an inferior industry design which would be very costly to change.
Some approximate analytical methods in the study of the self-avoiding loop model with variable bending rigidity and the critical behaviour of the strong coupling lattice Schwinger model with Wilson fermions

description: Some time ago Salmhofer demonstrated the equivalence of the strong coupling lattice Schwinger model with Wilson fermions to a certain 8-vertex model which can be understood as a self-avoiding loop model on the square lattice with bending rigidity $η= 1/2$ and monomer weight $z = (2κ)^{-2}$. The present paper applies two approximate analytical methods to the investigation of critical properties of the self-avoiding loop model with variable bending rigidity, discusses their validity and makes comparison with known MC results. One method is based on the independent loop approximation used in the literature for studying phase transitions in polymers, liquid helium and cosmic strings. The second method relies on the known exact solution of the self-avoiding loop model with bending rigidity $η= 1/\sqrt{2}$. The present investigation confirms recent findings that the strong coupling lattice Schwinger model becomes critical for $κ_{cr} \simeq 0.38-0.39$. The phase transition is of second order and lies in the Ising model universality class. Finally, the central charge of the strong coupling Schwinger model at criticality is discussed and predicted to be $c = 1/2$.

description: In the context of liberalisation of electricity markets world wide, the need for agreed protocols for electricity trades between systems with different charges poses a special challenge. System operators need to know how much a given trade uses the network, in order to allocate an appropriate portion of their costs to that trade. This paper discusses a technique, tracing, for determining how much each of a number of trades uses different parts of the electricity network. The scheme is based on the assumption that at any network node, inflows are shared proportionally between outflows (and vice versa). The paper outlines the technique and shows how it could be applied to the problem of charging cross-border trades. The paper goes on to demonstrate that the technique has a game theoretic rationale, in that it produces the Shapley value solution to a game equivalent to this allocation problem.

description: eternity fleeting, the MFA thesis exhibition of Emily Fussner, was displayed at George Mason University in March of 2019. The exhibition held materializations and reimaginations of ephemeral moments: an elegy of familiar, often overlooked patterns found on the periphery of our daily lives. This written thesis follows the exhibit’s layout and artworks. It demonstrates the development and influences of the work while examining the significance of place, the body, material, and process, through the lens of attention, care, and possibility.

description: In a recent paper we found strong evidence from simulations that the Isingantiferromagnet on ``thin'' random graphs - Feynman diagrams - displayed amean-field spin glass transition. The intrinsic interest of considering such random graphs is that they give mean field results without long range interactions or the drawbacks, arising from boundary problems, of the Bethe lattice. In this paper we reprise the saddle point calculations for the Ising and Potts ferromagnet, antiferromagnet and spin glass on Feynman diagrams. We use standard results from bifurcation theory that enable us to treat an arbitrary number of replicas and any quenched bond distribution. We note the agreement between the ferromagnetic and spin glass transition temperatures thus calculated and those derived by analogy with the Bethe lattice, or in previous replica calculations. We then investigate numerically spin glasses with a plus or minus J bond distribution for the Ising and Q=3,4,10,50 state Potts models, paying particular attention to the independence of the spin glass transition from the fraction of positive and negative bonds in the Ising case and the qualitative form of the overlap distribution in all the models. The parallels with infinite range spin glass models in both the analytical calculations and simulations are pointed out.

description: We introduce a new formulation of the diquark breaking mechanism which describes with no free parameters the huge nuclear stopping observed in central nucleus-nucleus collisions. Supplemented, in the dual parton model, with strings originating from diquark--antidiquark pairs from the nucleon sea, it gives a substantial increase of hyperon and antihyperon yields from $pPb$ to central $PbPb$ collisions. Compared to data, this increase is slightly underestimated for $Λ$'s and $Ξ$'s but is five times too small for $Ω$'s. Introducing final state interactions, a reasonable description of all baryon and antibaryon yields is achieved.

description: We identify various contributors of systematic effects in the measurement of the neutron star (NS) tidal deformability and quantify their magnitude for several types of neutron star - black hole (NSBH) binaries. Gravitational waves from NSBH mergers contain information about the components' masses and spins as well as the NS equation of state. Extracting this information requires comparison of the signal in noisy detector data with theoretical templates derived from some combination of post-Newtonian (PN) approximants, effective one-body (EOB) models and %analytic fits to numerical relativity (NR) simulations. The accuracy of these templates is limited by errors in the NR simulations, by the approximate nature of the PN/EOB waveforms, and by the hybridization procedure used to combine them. In this paper, we estimate the impact of these errors by constructing and comparing a set of PN-NR hybrid waveforms, for the first time with NR waveforms from two different codes, namely, SpEC and SACRA, for such systems. We then attempt to recover the parameters of the binary using two non-precessing template approximants. We find that systematic errors are too large for tidal effects to be accurately characterized for any realistic NS equation of state model. We conclude that NSBH waveform models must be significantly improved if they are to be useful for the extraction of NS equation of state information or even for distinguishing NSBH systems from binary black holes.
