description: O debate habitacional no Brasil foi retomado em um momento de forte demanda social, com ausência de políticas habitacionais nacionais e estaduais e oferta insuficiente da iniciativa privada para reduzir o déficit habitacional existente. O objetivo do artigo é mostrar que existem experiências importantes em tecnologias de habitação de interesse social (TS) já consolidadas no país e argumentar que as TS oferecem alternativas para o enfrentamento do problema habitacional. O argumento é dividido em duas seções. O primeiro fornece uma breve revisão teórica do conceito de TS; e a segunda trata da questão da habitação e das experiências listadas no Banco de Tecnologias Sociais (BTS) da Fundação Banco do Brasil (FBB). Em última análise, afirma-se que o TS pode aprimorar as estratégias de política governamental nessa área e são feitas considerações sobre os pontos básicos para sua inserção nas ações e políticas públicas de habitação no Brasil.
Putting Up a Good Fight: The Galí-Monacelli Model versus “The Six Major Puzzles in International Macroeconomics”

description: In this paper, the following question is posed: Can the New Keynesian Open Economy Model by Galí and Monacelli (2005b) explain “Six Major Puzzles in International Macroeconomics”, as documented in Obstfeld and Rogoff (2000b)? The model features a small open economy with complete markets, Calvo sticky prices and monopolistic competition. As extensions, I explore the effects of an estimated Taylor rule and additional trade costs. After translating the six puzzles into moment conditions for the model, I estimate the five most effective parameters using simulated method of moments (SMM) to fit the moment conditions implied by the data. Given the simplicity of the model, its fit is surprisingly good: among other things, the home bias puzzles can easily be replicated, the exchange rate volatility is formidably increased and the exchange rate correlation pattern is relatively close to realistic values. Trade costs are one important ingredient for this finding.
Charged Particle Production at Large Transverse Momentum in Pb$-$Pb Collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV Measured with ALICE at the LHC

description: Transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) spectra of charged particles are measured as a function of event centrality in Pb$-$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV with ALICE at the LHC. The spectra are compared to those measured in pp collisions at the same collision energy in terms of the nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$. The high-$p_{T}$ charge particle production in central Pb$-$Pb collisions ($0-5%$) is strongly suppressed by a factor $\approx6$ at transverse momenta $p_{T}=6-7$ GeV/c as compared to expectation from independent superposition of nucleon-nucleon collisions. Above $p_{T}=7$ GeV/c there is a significant rise in the nuclear modification factor, which reaches $R_{AA} \approx 0.4$ at $p_{T}=50$ GeV/c. The measured suppression of high-$p_{T}$ particles is stronger than that measured at RHIC.

description: We report on the excitation energy dependence of the inner ring in the exciton emission pattern. The contrast of the inner ring is found to decrease with lowering excitation energy. Excitation by light tuned to the direct exciton resonance is found to effectively suppress excitation-induced heating of indirect excitons and facilitate the realization of a cold and dense exciton gas. The excitation energy dependence of the inner ring is explained in terms of exciton transport and cooling.

description: This article provides a comprehensive econometric analysis of factors driving aggregate mortality rates over time. It differs from previous studies in this field by simultaneously considering an extensive set of macroeconomic, socio-economic and ecological factors as explanatory variables. Germany is chosen as an indicative example for other industrialized countries due to its advanced demographic transition process. Our regression analysis, which covers the time interval 1956-2004, indicates that sex- and age-specific mortality rates vary substantially in their response to external factors. Strongest associations are found with changes in real GDP, flu epidemics and the two life style variables alcohol and cigarette consumption in both univariate and multivariate setups. Further analysis shows that these effects are primarily contemporary, while other indicators such as weather conditions exert lagged effects. By combining variables in a multivariate model the share of explained data volatility can be substantially increased.
Relative Deprivation and Social Justice, 1962

Year: 1976

description: The aim of the Relative Deprivation and Social Justice study was to examine social inequality in twentieth-century England, touching on such topics as party preference and self-rated social class. The dataset held by the Archive was originally compiled from interview schedules lent by W.G. Runciman, used for his well-known study reported in: Runciman, W.G. (1972) Relative Deprivation and Social Justice, Pelican Books.

 An exercise based on data from this survey has been developed by the Sociology Department at the University of Surrey (see file 'deprived.sav'). The exercise is included in the user guide and is a fairly detailed example of the elaboration of a bivariate relation through the introduction of a 'control' variable. A description of a simple data transformation is provided. In addition, there is a description of the main aspects of SPSS usage.

Imperial neuropsychology and an Indian diamond: The Quantum Ground of Dreaming in The Moonstone
Creators: name: Chatterjee, Arup K.
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2020

description: Wilkie Collins’ novel The Moonstone (1868) has sustained interests of dream theorists and postcolonial critics alike. Franklin Blake’s censored dream—and his somnambulant theft of the eponymous diamond—was a pioneering thought experiment by Collins, who is also believed to have invented the English detective novel. The question, whether Blake’s supposed dream and somnambulism was constituted by traces of his conscious waking experience, or emerged from an unconscious source, remains unanswered as the contents of the dream are not known. Taking The Moonstone beyond the ambit of postcolonial criticism and reading it simply as a subversion of British imperialism from within, I present evidence for the novel being encrypted with principles of Vedanta and ancient Indian dream theories from the Mandukya Upanishad and its commentaries by Gaudapadacharya and Shankaracharya. Also, going beyond the continuity hypothesis, which considers dreaming activity to be reconstituted from particles of residual memory of waking experiences, I further argue that Collins had inadvertently paved the way for a nonlocal spatiality of the dreaming mind and a quantum particle-wave model for dream stimuli and interpretation.

description: The fundamental properties of quantum information and its applications to computing and cryptography have been greatly illuminated by considering information-theoretic tasks that are provably possible or impossible within non-relativistic quantum mechanics. I describe here a general framework for defining tasks within (special) relativistic quantum theory and illustrate it with examples from relativistic quantum cryptography and relativistic distributed quantum computation. The framework gives a unified description of all tasks previously considered and also defines a large class of new questions about the properties of quantum information in relation to Minkowski causality. It offers a way of exploring interesting new fundamental tasks and applications, and also highlights the scope for a more systematic understanding of the fundamental information-theoretic properties of relativistic quantum theory.
Specification Testing in Nonparametric Instrumental Quantile Regression

description: There are many environments in econometrics which require nonseparable modeling of a structural disturbance. In a nonseparable model, key conditions are validity of instrumental variables and monotonicity of the model in a scalar unobservable. Under these conditions the nonseparable model is equivalent to an instrumental quantile regression model. A failure of the key conditions, however, makes instrumental quantile regression potentially inconsistent. This paper develops a methodology for testing the hypothesis whether the instrumental quantile regression model is correctly specified. Our test statistic is asymptotically normally distributed under correct specification and consistent against any alternative model. In addition, test statistics to justify model simplification are established. Finite sample properties are examined in a Monte Carlo study and an empirical illustration.

Tayside Industries, 1911-1951
Creators: name: Carstairs, A. M.
Publisher: name: UK Data Service
Year: 1973

description: The object of this study was to examine changes in industrial employment in Tayside on a detailed local basis with the purpose of more accurately revealing the nature of general trends in employment over a period of time.
 The 1911 census was the first in which information on both industry and occupation was secured in sufficient detail to make possible at least an approximate comparison with later censuses. The 1951 census was the last in which a 100 per cent coverage was made of industrial employment and occupations. Data derived from returns made for the census of 1911 indicate the character of each local economy established in the course of the 19th century. Changes since then are indicated by similar data from the census of 1951.

description: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar e comparar os escritos de Murray Bookchin e sua Teoria de Municipalismo Libertário e os de Chantal Mouffe com seu Radicalismo Democrático. Ambos, pouco estudados no Brasil, têm seus escritos marcados pela busca de uma democracia mais radical e plural. A hipótese que o texto levanta é a de que enquanto o pensamento de Bookchin visa não somente a radicalização da democracia, mas a adoção do próprio método democrático em sua forma mais pura como mecanismo de superação do sistema capitalista; as prescrições de Mouffe se mantêm reformista e de certo modo flertando com o liberalismo, a despeito de utilizar um campo semântico e conceitual socialista. A apresentação dos autores e de seus pensamentos respeitou a ordem cronológica na qual cada um produziu seus trabalhos, Bookchin na década de 1960 e Mouffe na década de 1990. Assim, na primeira parte dedicou-se a explanar sobre o Municipalismo Libertário, na segunda parte sobre o Radicalismo Democrático e nas considerações finais o trabalho intentou em fazer um balanço entre as duas teorias.
Global models of planetary system formation in radiatively-inefficient protoplanetary discs

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: (Abridged) We present the results of N-body simulations of planetary systems formation in radiatively-inefficient disc models, where positive corotation torques may counter the rapid inward migration of low mass planets driven by Lindblad torques. The aim of this work is to examine the nature of planetary systems that arise from oligarchic growth in such discs. We adapt the commonly-used Mercury-6 symplectic integrator by including simple prescriptions for planetary migration (types I and II), planetary atmospheres that enhance the probability of planetesimal accretion by protoplanets, gas accretion onto forming planetary cores, and gas disc dispersal. We perform a suite of simulations for a variety of disc models with power-law surface density and tempera- ture profiles, with a focus on models in which unsaturated corotation torques can drive outward migration of protoplanets. In some models we account for the quenching of corotation torques that arises when planetary orbits become eccentric. Approximately half of our simulations lead to the successful formation of gas giant planets with a broad range of masses and semimajor axes. We conclude that convergent migration induced by corotation torques operating during planet formation can enhance the growth rate of planetary cores, but these often migrate into the central star because corotation torques saturate. Outward migration of planetary cores of modest mass can lead to the formation of gas giant planets at large distances from the central star, similar to those observed recently through direct imaging surveys. The excitation of planetary eccentricities through planet-planet scat- tering during oligarchic growth may quench the effects of corotation torques, however, such that inward migration is driven by Lindblad torques.

description: In recent years, there has been a shift in among Kentucky rural electric cooperatives in regard to their stance on economic development. With this has been the employment of electric cooperative staff to help attract new industries and forge relationships with other local economic development-geared groups to facilitate growth. Cooperative businesses have historically proved their resilience and deep-rooted connections within the communities they serve. In exploring two similar-sized electric cooperatives in Kentucky located in two very different regions of the state, considering socio-economic status, and interviewing key informants with local affiliated economic development groups, it becomes evident that electric cooperatives possess a great potential to serve as a catalyst for economic development within their respective service territories.

A Lithium Battery Current Estimation Technique Using an Unknown Input Observer
Creators: name: Cambron, Daniel
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Controls and Control Theory
subject: Electrical and Electronics

description: Current consumption measurements are useful in a wide variety of applications, including power monitoring and fault detection within a lithium battery management system (BMS). This measurement is typically taken using either a shunt resistor or a Hall-effect current transducer. Although both methods have achieved accurate current measurements, shunt resistors have inherent power loss and often require isolation circuitry, and Hall-effect sensors are generally expensive. This work explores a novel alternative to sensing battery current by measuring terminal voltages and cell temperatures and using an unknown input observer (UIO) to estimate the battery current. An accurate model of a LiFePO4 cell is created and is then used to characterize a model of the proposed current estimation technique. Finally, the current estimation technique is implemented in hardware and tested in an online BMS environment. Results show that the current estimation technique is sufficiently accurate for a variety of applications including fault detection and power profiling.

description: In recent years, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy has been increasingly applied for the study of polymer dynamics on the nanometer scale. The core idea is to extract, from a measured autocorrelation curve, an effective mean-square displacement function that contains information about the underlying conformational dynamics. The paper presents a fundamental study of the applicability of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy for the investigation of nanoscale conformational and diffusional dynamics. We find that fluorescence correlation spectroscopy cannot reliably elucidate processes on length scales much smaller than the resolution limit of the optics used and that its improper use can yield spurious results for the observed dynamics.

description: We introduce a multivariate multiplicative error model which is driven by component- specific observation driven dynamics as well as a common latent autoregressive factor. The model is designed to explicitly account for (information driven) common factor dynamics as well as idiosyncratic effects in the processes of high-frequency return volatilities, trade sizes and trading intensities. The model is estimated by simulated maximum likelihood using efficient importance sampling. Analyzing five minutes data from four liquid stocks traded at the New York Stock Exchange, we find that volatilities, volumes and intensities are driven by idiosyncratic dynamics as well as a highly persistent common factor capturing most causal relations and cross-dependencies between the individual variables. This confirms economic theory and suggests more parsimonious specifications of high-dimensional trading processes. It turns out that common shocks affect the return volatility and the trading volume rather than the trading intensity.

We find that experimental subjects are willing to pay a significant premium for the voting right even though there should be no such premium in our setup under full rationality. Private benefits from controlling the firm are absent from our setup and overconfidence cannot explain the size of the observed voting premium. The premium disappears in treatments where voting has no material consequences for the subjects. We conclude that individuals enjoy being part of a group that exercises power and are therefore willing to pay for the right to vote even when the impact of their own vote on their payoffs is negligible.

description: We use the recently proposed generalised on-shell representation for scattering amplitudes and a consistency test to explore the space of tree-level consistent couplings in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The extension of the constructible notion implied by the generalised on-shell representation, i.e. the possibility to reconstruct at tree level all the scattering amplitudes from the three-particle ones, together with the imposition of the consistency conditions at four-particle level, allow to rediscover all the known theories and their algebra structure, if any. Interestingly, this analysis seems to leave room for high-spin couplings, provided that at least the requirement of locality is weakened. We do not claim to have found tree-level consistent high-spin theories, but rather that our methods show signatures of them and very likely, with a suitable modification, they can be a good framework to perform a systematic search.

description: The Crab Pulsar Wind Nebula is the best studied source of $γ$-ray astrophysics. The contribution of the various soft radiation fields to the Inverse Compton component of its high energy emission, the strenght of the internal magnetic field and the maximum energies reached by primary electrons are however still matter of study. The MAGIC stereoscopic system recorded almost 50 hours of Crab Nebula data in the last two years, between October 2009 and April 2011. Analysis of this data sample using the latest improvements in the MAGIC stereo software provided an unprecedented differential energy spectrum spanning three decades in energy, from 50 GeV up to 45 TeV. At low energies, the MAGIC results, combined with the Fermi/LAT data, yield a precise measurement of the Inverse Compton peak. In addition, we present light curves of the Crab Nebula at different time scales, including a measurement simultaneous to one of the Crab Nebula flares recently detected by both Fermi/LAT and AGILE. Using the MAGIC spectrum together with multiwavelength data, we discuss the implications for the modeling of the Crab Nebula.

UEFI: 5 Recommendations for Securing and Restoring Trust

Subjects: classificationCode: 80309
subject: Software Engineering

description: Despite a drop in overall sales of computers, a staggering 286.2 million Windows-based PCs were sold in 2022. Each of these computers was released with firmware based on the Unifired Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), an alternative to the legacy Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), which provides an extensible intersection between hardware and the OS itself. The UEFI standard also identifies reliable ways to update this firmware from the OS. Despite its ubiquitous and indispensable role, this piece of software remains invisible to most users. However, attackers have not forgotten about it. The attack dubbed BlackLotus first exposed a bookit (advanced form of malicious software) that cannot be easily detected or removed. Many vendors, including Microsoft, are still at an impasse with this bootkit as they are unable to reliably detect it or protect even today’s fully patched machines from this type of attack. On the heels of that attack, another soon followed that involved a leak of sensitive information, such as private keys from multiple PC manufacturers. These private keys, typically used to cryptographically sign UEFI-based software, could potentially be used to create malicious software that can achieve very high-privileged access to the CPU. In creating such bootkits, the attacker plants malicious code along with software that is both essential and highly trusted for normal operation of these devices. In this blog post, which I adapted from my recent white paper, I will expand on the concerns brought to light from these attacks and highlight our recommendations to secure the UEFI ecosystem and restore trust in this piece of firmware. These recommendations will both raise awareness and help direct upcoming efforts to create a safer environment for computing.

description: Previous work has demonstrated that alkylated benzene sulfonanilides undergo sulfuric acid (98%) catalyzed rearrangement to alkylamino diaryl sulfones. Similar treatment of their unalkylated analogues typically leads only to hydrolysis. Surprisingly, when the unalkylated benzene sulfonanilides react with triflic acid, rearrangement to sulfones does occur.

description: A detailed analysis of more than 800 electronic high-resolution spectra of gamma Cas, which were obtained during a time interval of over 6000 days (16.84 yrs) at several observatories, documents the smooth variations in the density and/or extend of its circumstellar envelope. We found a clear anticorrelation between the peak intensity and FWHM of the H alpha emission, which seems to agree with recent models of such emission lines. The main result of this study is a confirmation of the binary nature of the object, determination of a reliable linear ephemeris T_{min.RV} = HJD (2452081.9$\pm$0.6) + (203.52$\pm$0.08)*E, and a rather definitive set of orbital elements. We clearly demonstrated that the orbit is circular within the limits of accuracy of our measurements and has a semi-amplitude of radial-velocity curve of 4.30$\pm$0.09 (km/s). No trace of the low-mass secondary was found. The time distribution of our spectra does not allow a reliable investigation of rapid spectral variations, which are undoubtedly present in the spectra. We postpone this investigation for a future study, based on series of dedicated whole-night spectral observations.

description: Using data for six OECD countries, this paper studies the effect of macroeconomic conditions on the mortality index kt in the well-known Lee-Carter model. Significant correlations are found with real GDP growth rates in Australia, Canada, and the United States, and with unemployment rate changes in Japan, for the period 1950–2005. In recent years, the relationship between the state of the economy and mortality is found to change from procyclical to countercyclical in all six countries. Based on these findings, variants of the Lee-Carter model are proposed that capture a substantial fraction of the variation in the mortality index.

description: Currently, the German/British gravitational wave detector GEO600 is being upgraded in course of the GEO-HF program. One part of this upgrade consists of the integration of a squeezed light laser to nonclassically improve the detection sensitivity at frequencies where the instrument is limited by shot noise. This has been achieved recently [1]. The permanent employment of squeezed light in gravitational wave observatories requires a long-term stability of the generated squeezed state. In this paper, we discuss an unwanted mechanism that can lead to a varying squeezing factor along with a changing phase of the squeezed field. We present an extension of the implemented coherent control scheme [2] that allowed an increase in the long-term stability of the GEO600 squeezed light laser. With it, a quantum noise reduction by more than 9 dB in the frequency band of 10 Hz - 10 kHz was observed over up to 20 hours with a duty cycle of more than 99%.

description: The global expansion of biomanufacturing is currently limited by the availability of sugar-based microbial feedstocks. One-carbon feedstocks, like methanol, present an enticing alternative to sugar because they can be produced from organic waste, atmospheric carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons. The development of efficient industrial microorganisms which can convert one-carbon feedstocks into valuable products is therefore a research priority. This thesis will present work from three experiments and a literature review focused on the development of tools for engineering synthetic methanol assimilation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with the intent of laying a foundation for further projects. Experiment 1 tested multiple different methanol dehydrogenases as part of a synthetic ribulose-monophosphate cycle in S. cerevisiae to identify which enzymes could confer a growth advantage in the presence of methanol. Experiment 2 demonstrated a novel genome engineering technique known as Random Assembly and Integration, to show that promoters and methylotrophy associated genes from a pre-defined library could be randomly integrated into the repeated Ty1 retrotransposon loci in the S. cerevisiae genome. Experiment 3 used a previously reported synthetic xylose utilization pathway to establish a strain of S. cerevisiae which can grow on xylose that will be used in future projects to engineer synthetic methanol auxotrophy.

description: Coulomb drag is a process whereby the repulsive interactions between electrons in spatially separated conductors enable a current flowing in one of the conductors to induce a voltage drop in the other. If the second conductor is part of a closed circuit, a net current will flow in that circuit. The drag current is typically much smaller than the drive current owing to the heavy screening of the Coulomb interaction. There are, however, rare situations in which strong electronic correlations exist between the two conductors. For example, bilayer two-dimensional electron systems can support an exciton condensate consisting of electrons in one layer tightly bound to holes in the other. One thus expects "perfect" drag; a transport current of electrons driven through one layer is accompanied by an equal one of holes in the other. (The electrical currents are therefore opposite in sign.) Here we demonstrate just this effect, taking care to ensure that the electron-hole pairs dominate the transport and that tunneling of charge between the layers is negligible.

To attempt to relate length of unemployment to such factors as anxiety, intelligence, sociability, neuroticism, psychosomatic illness; and to study attitudes to former work situation (as well as) current job seeking strategy and reactions to becoming unemployed.
Quick Anomaly Detection by the Newcomb--Benford Law, with Applications to Electoral Processes Data from the USA, Puerto Rico and Venezuela

description: A simple and quick general test to screen for numerical anomalies is presented. It can be applied, for example, to electoral processes, both electronic and manual. It uses vote counts in officially published voting units, which are typically widely available and institutionally backed. The test examines the frequencies of digits on voting counts and rests on the First (NBL1) and Second Digit Newcomb--Benford Law (NBL2), and in a novel generalization of the law under restrictions of the maximum number of voters per unit (RNBL2). We apply the test to the 2004 USA presidential elections, the Puerto Rico (1996, 2000 and 2004) governor elections, the 2004 Venezuelan presidential recall referendum (RRP) and the previous 2000 Venezuelan Presidential election. The NBL2 is compellingly rejected only in the Venezuelan referendum and only for electronic voting units. Our original suggestion on the RRP (Pericchi and Torres, 2004) was criticized by The Carter Center report (2005). Acknowledging this, Mebane (2006) and The Economist (US) (2007) presented voting models and case studies in favor of NBL2. Further evidence is presented here. Moreover, under the RNBL2, Mebane's voting models are valid under wider conditions. The adequacy of the law is assessed through Bayes Factors (and corrections of $p$-values) instead of significance testing, since for large sample sizes and fixed $α$ levels the null hypothesis is over rejected. Our tests are extremely simple and can become a standard screening that a fair electoral process should pass.

description: Существующая асимметрия биологических объектов распространяется не только на их структурную организацию и внешние формы проявления, но и на магнитные поля, которые они формируют вокруг себя. Регистрация таких полей позволяет неинвазивно и количественно оценить биомагнитную асимметричность и увязать ее с текущим состоянием биологического объекта. Предлагается оригинальный подход к возможному применению обобщенной магнитограммы человека в практической медицине для неинвазивной количественной оценки состояния здоровья. Данный подход привлекателен своей универсальностью, отсутствием какого-либо дополнительного внешнего воздействия на человека и, следовательно, отсутствием каких-либо последействий, а также своей мобильностью, быстрым получением результатов и комфортом для пациента
