Diagonal D-branes in product spaces and their Penrose limits
Creators: name: Sarkissian, Gor

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study classes of D-branes embedded in various AdS^m x S^n x S^p x T^q backgrounds, which nontrivially mix the target-space submanifolds. Mixing is achieved either via diagonal geometric embedding or through a mixed worldvolume flux which has one index in the sphere and one index in the AdS part. Branes of the former type wrap calibrated cycles in the target space, while those of the latter type wrap non-supersymmetric target space cycles which are stabilised only after the mixed worldvolume flux is turned on. In the second part of the paper we study two qualitatively different Penrose limits of these diagonal branes. In the first case we look at geodesics which do not belong to the worldvolume of brane. In order to get a nontrivial result, one needs to bring the brane closer and closer to the geodesic while taking the limit. The result is a D-brane with a worldvolume relativistic pulse. In the second case the Penrose geodesic belongs to the worldvolume and the resulting brane is of the ``oblique'' type: it is diagonally embedded between different SO groups of the target space pp-wave.

title: The U.S. Stock Market and Fundamentals: A Historical Decomposition
Creators: name: Dupuis, David
name: Tessier, David
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2003

description: The authors identify the fundamentals behind the dynamics of the U.S. stock market over the past 30 years. They specify a structural vector-error-correction model following the methodology of King, Plosser, Stock, and Watson (1991). This methodology identifies structural shocks with the imposition of long-run restrictions. It allows the authors to calculate an equilibrium measure of stock market value based on the permanent components of the time series. A better understanding of the components that drive stock market movements could provide insight into the potential effects of the recent technological revolution on the dynamics of the stock market's equilibrium value, as suggested by Hobijn and Jovanovic (2001).
description: Les auteurs tentent de cerner les forces fondamentales qui ont façonné l'évolution du marché boursier américain au cours des 30 dernières années. Ils élaborent un modèle structurel à correction d'erreurs en s'inspirant de la méthode de King, Plosser, Stock et Watson (1991), qui fait appel à l'imposition de restrictions de long terme pour l'identification des chocs structurels. En procédant ainsi, les auteurs peuvent obtenir une mesure de la valeur d'équilibre d'une action à partir des composantes permanentes des séries chronologiques. Forts d'une meilleure compréhension des facteurs à l'origine des mouvements du marché boursier, nous serions plus à même d'évaluer les effets potentiels de la récente révolution technologique sur l'évolution de la valeur d'équilibre des actions, comme le font valoir Hobijn et Jovanovic (2001).
Designing with Structural Glass
Creators: name: Lenk, P.
Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2016

description: Glass has been in existence for more than four thousand years. Techniques of manufacturing and design have since been under constant development. Today, we face new opportunities and challenges with respect to structural glass applications. This paper will explore objectives as to why glass is specified on building projects and outline key parameters which must be considered when designing with structural glass. A holistic approach and emerging design and construction techniques such as digital design, multi parameter optimization techniques, bar coding of glass, additive manufacturing and the potential of Building Information Modelling (BIM), will be discussed. Lateral thinking and examples from other industries will be presented and the paper will be briefly summarized.

Structural Analysis of Folded Glass Plate Structures

Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2016

description: Folded glass plate structures have the potential to become the next generation of structural glass. By connecting glass plates along their edges and creating a folded plate geometry, glass can be used to transparently self-span large areas without the need for additional supporting structure. An experimental glass connection is used as a basis for this paper. Available test and numerical data is used to create an interaction diagram for this connection, giving allowable axial forces, shear forces and bending moments. Due to the dependency of folded plate structures on geometry, a parametric numerical analysis approach is developed. This captures the global behaviour of the structures whilst also being calibrated against the local behaviour of the connection detail. The approach is based on established techniques for structural glass analysis using the finite element software Strand7. The results are presented graphically, illustrating that connection utilization drives design. It is shown that parametric finite element analysis is a powerful tool to extend feasibility-studies for new shapes and configurations.

Optimal Segmentation of Glass Shell Structures
Creators: name: Goel, S.
Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2016

description: Monolithic glass shells can be constructed in limited sizes. Segmented shells allow coverage of larger spans. Three shell systems - spherical dome, cylindrical roof and hyperbolic paraboloid were segmented using four different curved glass segment shapes – square, diamond (or pie for dome), hexagon and hexalock. Three joint materials were analysed- glass (resulting in a monolithic glass shell), silicone (soft adhesive) and epoxy (hard adhesive). A Reissner-Mindlin finite element was used in ANSYS to discretize the modelled geometry. The boundary conditions were setup keeping in mind the favourable membrane behaviour of shell structures. It was found out that glass segment shape and joint stiffness has an influence on the shell behaviour. Optimal shapes show similar behaviour in comparison to monolithic glass shell. Others show a significant increase in the deflection and bending moment values which is unwanted. The in-plane membrane forces remain unaffected and thus are found to be independent of glass segment shape and joint stiffness.

Melitaea phoebe narenta fruhstorfer, 1917

description: Melitaea phoebe narenta Fruhstorfer, 1917 (a)
[TL: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Herzegovina, Jablanica] was described from five females in the “Leonhard collection” (Leonhard does not appear to be in any list of entomologists and thus was presumably an amateur butterfly collector) and a pair of “Types” in Fruhstorfer’s collection (FRUHSTORFER, 1916: 1) in the MNHN, Paris (MNHNP). BERNARDI & DE LESSE (1951: 141) reported only a single male “holotype” in Fruhstorfer’s collection but both a male and a female are present in the collection, thus there appear to be two syntypes. A further “paratype” (i.e. a syntype) was reported as being in the Natural History Museum, London (VAN OORSCHOT & COUTSIS (2014: 61).
Jablanica lies on the Neretva River at an elevation of c. 200 m; VAN OORSCHOT & COUTSIS (2014: 61) unfortunately misconstrued this as Mount Jablanica, which is on the North Macedonia/Albania border and mostly above 2000 m. The true locality, adjacent to both the Neretva River and Jablanica Lake, suggests a humid biotope typical of M. phoebe; however prior to the building of the dam in 1954, the habitat was more xerophilous. On close inspection of the photographs of the undersides of the two specimens it was concluded that they belonged to M. phoebe as described by Fruhstorfer and in agreement with VAN OORSCHOT & COUTSIS (2014: 61) and RUSSELL & TENNENT (2016: note 55).

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Optical Transparency vs. Institutional Transparency: The Discussion on the Origins of Architectural Honesty in Glass Application
Creators: name: Brzezicki, M.
Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2016

description: Transparency has become a new division of architectural theory and practice and has created a new kind of aesthetic sensibility, o a wealth of possibilities for visual expression The growing importance of the visual aspects in architecture is obvious, especially with respect to façades. Transparency is no longer limited to specific functional purposes (e.g. illumination of the building’s interior), but becomes a tool of formal expression itself. This raises questions regarding the theoretical/ideal/institutional background for the application of architectural glass and impacts the perception of architecture by observers. The paper presents a general outline of ideological/institutional inspiration for architectural practice in the perspective of new types of architectural transparency.

description: We have obtained optical and near-infrared images of the field of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar XTE J1751-305. There are no stars in the 0.7'' error circle (0.7'' is the overall uncertainty arising from tying the optical and X-ray images and from the intrinsic uncertainty in the Chandra X-ray astrometric solution). We derive limiting magnitudes for the counterpart of R>23.1, I>21.6, Z>20.6, J>19.6, K>19.2. We compare these upper limits with the magnitudes one would expect for simple models for the possible donor stars and the accretion disk subject to the reddening observed in X-rays for XTE J1751-305 and when put at the distance of the Galactic Centre (8.5 kpc). We conclude that our non-detection does not constrain any of the models for the accretion disk or possible donor stars. Deep, near-infrared images obtained during quiescence will, however, constrain possible models for the donor stars in this ultra-compact system.

title: The Construction of Continuity-Adjusted Monetary Aggregate Components
Creators: name: Kottaras, Jeannie
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2003

description: Changes in the financial industry result in new data that are inconsistent with the former presentation, and therefore adjustments are required to "adjust" or smooth out these breaks to establish continuity.

The author explains the methodology for newly calculated continuity adjustments to components of the monetary aggregates. Continuity adjustments have previously been done only for the aggregates themselves. The author lists the aggregates and their components and shows the adjustments that have been made.
description: Les changements que connaît le secteur financier génèrent de nouvelles données qui ne sont pas strictement comparables aux anciennes. Il convient donc de corriger celles-ci afin de réduire au minimum les problèmes de discontinuité engendrés.

L'auteure explique la méthode employée pour calculer les nouvelles corrections de continuité et les appliquer aux composantes des agrégats monétaires. Jusqu'ici, seuls les agrégats eux-mêmes faisaient l'objet de telles corrections. L'auteure énumère les agrégats et leurs composantes et passe en revue les corrections apportées.
Point sources in the context of future SZ surveys

description: We look at the impact of Infra-Red (IR) and radio point sources on upcoming large yield Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) cluster surveys such as APEX, SPT and ACT. The IR and radio point source counts are based on observations by the the SCUBA and WMAP instruments respectively. We show that the contributions from IR source counts, when extrapolated from the SCUBA frequency of 350GHz to the operating frequencies of these surveys (~100-300GHz), can be a significant source of additional `noise' which needs to be accounted for in order to extract the optimal science from these surveys. Alternatively, these surveys give us an opportunity to study IR sources, their numbers and clustering properties, opening a new window to the high redshift universe. For the radio point sources, the contribution depends on a more uncertain extrapolation from 40GHz but is comparable to the IR near 200GHz. However, the radio signal may be correlated with clusters of galaxies and have a disproportionately larger effect.

description: Inelastic light scattering measurements of low-lying collective excitations of electron double layers in the quantum Hall state at total filling nu_T=1 reveal a deep magnetoroton in the dispersion of charge-density excitations across the tunneling gap. The roton softens and sharpens markedly when the phase boundary for transitions to highly correlated compressible states is approached. The findings are interpreted with Hartree-Fock evaluations that link soft magnetorotons to enhanced excitonic Coulomb interactions and to quantum phase transitions in the ferromagnetic bilayers.

description: An exotic dark component, named generalized Chaplygin gas (Cg) and parameterized by an equation of state $p = -A/ρ_{Cg}^α$ where $A$ and $α$ are arbitrary constants, is one of the possible candidates for dark energy as well as for a unified scenario of dark matter/energy. In this paper we investigate qualitative and quantitative aspects of the angular size - redshift test in cosmological models driven by such a dark component. We discuss the prospects for constraining the Cg equation of state from measurements of the angular size at low and high redshift radio sources and also from a joint analysis involving angular size and supernova data. A detailed discussion about the influence of the Cg on the minimal redshift at which the angular size of an extragalactic source takes its minimal value is also presented.

description: We investigate the continuum and emission line properties of 4576 SDSS quasars as a function of their optical/UV SEDs. The optical/UV color distribution of our sample is roughly Gaussian, but with a red tail; we distinguish between 1) intrinsically blue (optically flat) quasars, 2) intrinsically red (optically steep) quasars, and 3) the 273 (6%) of our quasars whose continua are inconsistent with a single power-law and appear redder due to SMC-like dust reddening rather than synchrotron emission. The color distribution suggests that the population of moderately dust reddened broad-line quasars is smaller than that of unobscured quasars, but we estimate that a further 10% of the luminous quasar population is missing from the SDSS sample because of dust extinction with E(B-V)<0.5. We also investigate the emission and absorption line properties of these quasars as a function of color with regard to Boroson & Green type eigenvectors. Intrinsically red (optically steep) quasars tend to have narrower Balmer lines and weaker CIV, CIII], HeII and 3000A bump emission as compared with bluer (optically flatter) quasars. The change in strength of the 3000A bump appears to be dominated by the Balmer continuum and not by FeII emission. The dust reddened quasars have even narrower Balmer lines and weaker 3000A bumps, in addition to having considerably larger equivalent widths of [OII] and [OIII] emission. The fraction of broad absorption line quasars (BALQSOs) increases from ~3.4% for the bluest quasars to perhaps as large as 20% for the dust reddened quasars, but the intrinsic color distribution is affected by dust reddening.

Year: 2003

description: The authors develop simple econometric models to analyze and forecast two components of the Bank of Canada commodity price index: the Bank of Canada non-energy (BCNE) commodity prices and the West Texas Intermediate crude oil price. They present different methodologies to identify transitory and permanent components of movements in these prices. A structural vector autoregressive model is used for real BCNE prices and a multiple structural-break technique is employed for real crude oil prices. The authors use these transitory and permanent components to develop forecasting models. They assess various aspects of the models' performance. Their main results indicate that: (i) the world economic activity and real U.S.-dollar effective exchange rate explain much of the cyclical variation of real BCNE prices, (ii) real crude oil prices have two structural breaks over the sample period, and recently their link with the world economic activity has been quite strong, and (iii) the models outperform benchmark models, namely a vector autoregressive model, an autoregressive model, and a random-walk model, in terms of out-of-sample forecasting.
description: Les auteurs élaborent des modèles économétriques simples en vue d'analyser et de prévoir l'évolution de deux composantes de l'indice des prix des produits de base de la Banque du Canada, à savoir les prix des produits de base non énergétiques et ceux du pétrole brut West Texas Intermediate. Ils décrivent diverses méthodologies qui permettent de distinguer les éléments transitoires et permanents des fluctuations de ces prix. Les auteurs utilisent un modèle vectoriel autorégressif structurel dans le cas des prix réels des produits de base non énergétiques, et une technique de détection de points de rupture structurels multiples pour ceux du brut. À l'aide des éléments transitoires et permanents ainsi départagés, ils construisent des modèles de prévision, dont ils évaluent ensuite la qualité sous différents angles. Les principales conclusions qui se dégagent de l'étude sont les suivantes : i) les variations cycliques des prix réels des produits de base non énergétiques sont largement attribuables à l'évolution de l'économie mondiale et à celle du taux de change effectif réel du dollar américain; ii) les prix réels du pétrole brut présentent deux points de rupture structurels au cours de la période d'estimation et, dans la dernière partie de cette période, ils sont très étroitement liés à l'activité économique mondiale; iii) en dehors de la période d'estimation, les modèles proposés par les auteurs ont un pouvoir de prévision supérieur à celui des modèles de référence (soit un modèle vectoriel autorégressif, un modèle autorégressif et une marche aléatoire).
title: Income Trusts - Understanding the Issues
Creators: name: King, Michael R.
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2003

description: An income trust is an investment vehicle that distributes cash generated by a set of operating assets in a tax-efficient manner. The market capitalization of income trusts has grown rapidly over the past two years, reaching $45 billion at year-end 2002. The sharp rise of income trust valuations, the large supply of new issues, and the complexity of their legal structure have increased scrutiny of this asset class. Because retail investors are the principal owners of income trusts, the author explores whether the cash returns from income trusts are in line with the risks. The structure and valuation of a typical income trust are outlined. The benefits of income trusts and the issues related to investment are elaborated, focusing on legal and regulatory issues, corporate governance, operational issues, and market issues.
description: Les fiducies de revenu sont des instruments de placement qui versent les gains produits par un portefeuille d'actifs d'exploitation, et ce, en réduisant l'incidence de l'impôt des sociétés. La capitalisation boursière de ces fiducies s'est accrue rapidement au cours des deux dernières années, atteignant 45 milliards de dollars à la fin de 2002. La forte hausse de leur valeur, l'abondance des nouvelles émissions et la complexité de leur structure juridique ont eu pour effet de diriger davantage l'attention sur cette catégorie d'actif. Dans son étude, l'auteur cherche à déterminer si les montants versés aux détenteurs de parts, dont la majorité sont des particuliers, sont proportionnels aux risques. Il donne également un aperçu de la structure et du mode d'évaluation d'une fiducie de revenu type. Enfin, il décrit les avantages qu'offrent ces instruments de même que les questions qu'ils soulèvent sur les plans juridique et réglementaire et sur ceux de la gouvernance, des opérations et du marché.

description: Ab-initio total energy calculations reveal benzene-dithiolate (BDT) molecules on a gold surface, contacted by a monoatomic gold STM tip to have two classes of low energy conformations with differing symmetries. Lateral motion of the tip or excitation of the molecule cause it to change from one conformation class to the other and to switch between a strongly and a weakly conducting state. Thus, surprisingly, despite their apparent simplicity these Au/BDT/Au nanowires are shown to be electrically bi-stable switches, the smallest two-terminal molecular switches to date. Experiments with a conventional or novel self-assembled STM are proposed to test these predictions.

title: Measuring Interest Rate Expectations in Canada
Creators: name: Johnson, Grahame
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2003

description: Financial market expectations regarding future policy actions by the Bank of Canada are an important input into the Bank's decision-making process, and they can be measured using a variety of sources. The author develops a simple expectations-based model to focus on measuring interest rate expectations that are implied by the current level of money market yields. The explanatory power of this model increases markedly in the period following the implementation of the Bank's regime of fixed announcement dates in November 2000, and it appears to accurately describe the behaviour of short-term yields. Term premiums are estimated for the various instruments examined, and observed market yields are adjusted by those amounts. Once the market yields are adjusted, they can be used to calculate implied forward rates for a series of dates in the future. These forward rates can be interpreted as representing the market's expectations for the future level of overnight rates at a specific date.
description: Les attentes des marchés financiers concernant les décisions futures de la Banque du Canada en matière de politique monétaire occupent une place importante dans le processus décisionnel de l'institution, et on peut les mesurer à l'aide de diverses sources. L'auteur élabore un modèle simple pour mesurer spécifiquement les attentes de taux d'intérêt implicites dans les rendements courants du marché monétaire. Le modèle voit son pouvoir explicatif s'accroître sensiblement dans la période qui a suivi la mise en oeuvre, en novembre 2000, du système de dates d'annonce préétablies et il semble décrire avec précision le comportement des rendements à court terme. L'auteur évalue les primes à terme pour les divers instruments examinés, puis corrige en conséquence les rendements observés. Une fois corrigés, les rendements du marché peuvent servir à calculer les taux à terme implicites pour une série de dates à venir. On peut considérer ces taux à terme comme représentatifs des attentes des marchés concernant le niveau auquel le taux du financement à un jour se situera à une date précise.

description: The physics of a system consisting of an Aharonov Bohm (AB) interferometer containing a single level interacting quantum dot (QD) on one of its arms, and attached to normal (N) and superconducting (S) leads is studied and elucidated. Here the focus is directed mainly on N-AB-S junctions but the theory is capable of studying S-AB-S junctions as well. The interesting physics comes into play under the conditions that both the Kondo effect in the QD and the the Fano effect are equally important.It is found the conductance of the junction is suppressed as the Fano effect becomes more dominant.

description: We contrast the evolution of gravitational binary mergers for the two cases of a black hole and a normal neutron star, and a black hole and a self-bound strange quark matter star. In both cases inspiral continues until the Roche limit is reached, at which point it is expected that stable mass transfer to the balck hole ensues. Whereas a neutron star would then outspiral, the strange quark matter star barely moves out at all. Eventually, the strange quark star loses all its mass to the black hole, as compared to the neutron star whose outspiral continues until stable mass transfer terminates and inspiral resumes. These scenarios result in distinctly different gravitational wave signatures.

title: Monetary Policy in Estimated Models of Small Open and Closed Economies
Creators: name: Dib, Ali
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2003

description: The author develops and estimates a quantitative dynamic-optimizing model of a small open economy (SOE) with domestic and import price stickiness and capital-adjustment costs. A monetary policy rule allows the central bank to systematically manage the short-term nominal interest rate in response to deviations of inflation, output, and money growth from their steadystate levels. The structural parameters of the SOE model, as well as those of a sticky-price model for a closed economy (CE), are estimated econometrically using data from Canada and the United States and a maximum-likelihood procedure with a Kalman filter. Estimation results show that the SOE and CE models lead to similar estimates for the Canadian economy. Furthermore, the effects of monetary policy shocks, and of other domestic shocks, generated in the SOE model are isomorphic to those generated in the CE model. Nevertheless, the forecast-error decomposition shows that the importance of domestic demand shocks is reduced by the introduction of foreign shocks.
description: Dans la présente étude, l'auteur élabore et estime un modèle quantitatif d'optimisation dynamique décrivant une petite économie ouverte caractérisée par la rigidité nominale des prix des produits nationaux et importés et par des coûts d'ajustement du capital. Une règle de politique monétaire permet à la banque centrale d'ajuster systématiquement le taux d'intérêt nominal à court terme en réaction aux écarts qu'enregistrent l'inflation, la production et la croissance monétaire par rapport à leurs niveaux de régime permanent. À l'aide de données canadiennes et américaines, l'auteur estime les paramètres structurels du modèle, ainsi que ceux d'un modèle d'économie fermée à prix rigides, en utilisant la méthode du maximum de vraisemblance et le filtre de Kalman. Les valeurs ainsi obtenues pour les paramètres sont similaires dans les deux modèles dans le cas de l'économie canadienne. De plus, les effets de chocs de politique monétaire et d'autres chocs intérieurs générés dans le modèle de petite économie ouverte sont isomorphes à ceux générés dans le modèle d'économie fermée. Cependant, les résultats de la décomposition des erreurs de prévision montrent que l'introduction de chocs étrangers a pour effet de réduire l'importance des chocs de demande intérieure.

description: Recent applications of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to precision agriculture have shown increased ease and efficiency in data collection at precise remote locations. However, further enhancement of the field requires operation over long periods of time, e.g. days or weeks. This has so far been impractical due to the limited flight times of such platforms and the requirement of humans in the loop for operation. To overcome these limitations, we propose a fully autonomous rotorcraft UAS that is capable of performing repeated flights for long-term observation missions without any human intervention. We address two key technologies that are critical for such a system: full platform autonomy to enable mission execution independently from human operators and the ability of vision-based precision landing on a recharging station for automated energy replenishment. High-level autonomous decision making is implemented as a hierarchy of master and slave state machines. Vision-based precision landing is enabled by estimating the landing pad's pose using a bundle of AprilTag fiducials configured for detection from a wide range of altitudes. We provide an extensive evaluation of the landing pad pose estimation accuracy as a function of the bundle's geometry. The functionality of the complete system is demonstrated through two indoor experiments with a duration of 11 and 10.6 hours, and one outdoor experiment with a duration of 4 hours. The UAS executed 16, 48 and 22 flights respectively during these experiments. In the outdoor experiment, the ratio between flying to collect data and charging was 1 to 10, which is similar to past work in this domain. All flights were fully autonomous with no human in the loop. To our best knowledge this is the first research publication about the long-term outdoor operation of a quadrotor system with no human interaction.

description: For a long time, water policy in France gave priority to the building of major supply facilities and to the co-financing of investments for the preservation of water quality and the securing of supplies. Since the end of the 1980s, the recurrent episodes of drought and associated restrictions on use have brought the debate on the management of water demand to the fore, with particular focus on economic tools such as prices and taxes on water abstraction. While in the past, the sensitivity of the actors to the level and nature of management tools was very low, research works have since showed the major role of economic tools in the management of water demand. Beyond the identification of the elasticity of demand to price and income, new research has covered the modes of access of households to drinking water, in particular through the arbitration between several sources, as well as the policies for the social pricing scheme for drinking water. We present here an overview of the results on the role of economic tools in the management of the residential uses of water.

description: The framework of 'time-dependent basis light-front quantisation' (tBLFQ) offers a non-perturbative approach to scattering problems in external fields, based on Fock space truncation. Here we extend tBLFQ to include spatio-temporal field inhomogeneities in multiple spacetime directions. This extension is necessary for the proper modelling of e.g. intense laser fields. We focus on the example of nonlinear Compton scattering of an electron on an axicon-type laser, with an emphasis on the transverse structure of the beam. We analyse the impact of field intensity and particle energy, as well as basis truncation effects, on the radiation spectrum of the scattered electron.

title: Nominal Rigidities and Exchange Rate Pass-Through in a Structural Model of a Small Open Economy
Creators: name: Ambler, Steve

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2003

description: The authors analyze exchange rate pass-through in an estimated structural model of a small open economy that incorporates three types of nominal rigidity (wages and the prices of domestically produced and imported goods) and eight different structural shocks. The model is estimated using quarterly data from Canada and the United States. It predicts a remarkably similar dynamic relationship between the nominal exchange rate and prices in response to the different structural shocks: the nominal exchange rate overshoots its long-run level, and changes in the nominal exchange rate are passed through slowly to the domestic price level. The authors show that, although pricing to market (the slow adjustment of the domestic-currency prices of imported goods) is necessary to generate slow pass-through to the prices of imported goods, it is not necessary to generate slow pass-through to the overall price level. Sticky domestic wages also generate slow exchange rate pass-through, even when the prices of imported goods adjust instantaneously to changes in the exchange rate.
description: Les auteurs analysent l'incidence des mouvements du taux de change sur les prix dans le cadre d'un modèle structurel de petite économie ouverte qui intègre trois types de rigidité nominale (des salaires, des prix des biens produits au pays et des prix des importations) ainsi que huit chocs structurels. Estimé à l'aide de données trimestrielles se rapportant au Canada et aux États-Unis, le modèle fait ressortir une relation dynamique remarquablement semblable entre le taux de change nominal et les prix intérieurs dans leur profil de réaction aux divers chocs : le premier surréagit systématiquement à court terme et les seconds s'ajustent lentement aux fluctuations du taux de change nominal. Les auteurs montrent que, si l'établissement des prix en fonction du marché (soit l'ajustement lent des prix en monnaie nationale des biens importés) est une condition nécessaire à la lenteur de la transmission des mouvements du taux de change aux prix des importations, cela n'est pas vrai en ce qui concerne l'ensemble des prix. La rigidité des salaires intérieurs contribue elle aussi à ralentir la transmission des variations du taux de change, même lorsque les prix des importations s'ajustent instantanément aux mouvements de ce taux.
