description: Meta-analyses of clinical trials targeting rare events face particular challenges when the data lack adequate numbers of events for all treatment arms. Especially when the number of studies is low, standard meta-analysis methods can lead to serious distortions because of such data sparsity. To overcome this, we suggest the use of weakly informative priors (WIP) for the treatment effect parameter of a Bayesian meta-analysis model, which may also be seen as a form of penalization. As a data model, we use a binomial-normal hierarchical model (BNHM) which does not require continuity corrections in case of zero counts in one or both arms. We suggest a normal prior for the log odds ratio with mean 0 and standard deviation 2.82, which is motivated (1) as a symmetric prior centred around unity and constraining the odds ratio to within a range from 1/250 to 250 with 95 % probability, and (2) as consistent with empirically observed effect estimates from a set of $\mbox{$37\,773$}$ meta-analyses from the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. In a simulation study with rare events and few studies, our BNHM with a WIP outperformed a Bayesian method without a WIP and a maximum likelihood estimator in terms of smaller bias and shorter interval estimates with similar coverage. Furthermore, the methods are illustrated by a systematic review in immunosuppression of rare safety events following paediatric transplantation. A publicly available $\textbf{R}$ package, $\texttt{MetaStan}$, is developed to automate the $\textbf{Stan}$ implementation of meta-analysis models using WIPs.

CAPM

description: When computing regulated prices, the standard method is the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) which involves the estimation of a single parameter: the beta of the company. Yet, these computational methods fail to take into account any preference the regulator might have to increase or decrease the beta to favour or punish investors or customers. We propose such a methodology based on what we call a Linex linear optimal method.
A Real Time Tax Smoothing Based Fiscal Policy Rule

subject: fiscal rules, tax smoothing, fiscal habits, real-time data

description: In this paper we consider the real-time implementation of a fiscal policy rule based on tax smoothing (Barro (1979) and Bohn (1998)). We show that the tax smoothing approach, augmented by fiscal habit considerations, provides a surprisingly accurate description of US budget surplus movements. In order to investigate the robustness of the policy implications of the rule, we construct a real-time US fiscal data set, complementing the data documented by Croushore and Stark (2001). For each variable we record the different vintages, reflecting the remeasurements that occur over time. We demonstrate that the easily constructed rule provided a useful benchmark for policy analysis that is robust to real-time remeasurements.

description: The method of extraction of the e/h ratio for an electromagnetic compartment of a combined calorimeter is suggested and the non-compensation was determined. The results agree with the Monte Carlo prediction and results of the weighting method for electromagnetic compartment of combined calorimeter. The new easy method of a hadronic energy reconstruction for a combined calorimeter is also suggested. The proposed methods can be used for a combined calorimeter, which is being designed to perform energy measurement in a next-generation high energy collider experiment like ATLAS at LHC.

description: In this paper we study concentration in the European Internet upstream access market. Measurement of market concentration depends on correctly defining the market, but this is not always possible as Antitrust authorities often lack reliable pricing and traffic data. We present an alternative approach based on the inference of the Internet Operators interconnection policies using micro-data sourced from their Border Gateway Protocol tables. Firstly we propose a price-independent algorithm for defining both the vertical and geographical relevant market boundaries, then we calculate market concentration indexes using two novel metrics. These assess, for each undertaking, both its role in terms of essential network facility and of wholesale market dominance. The results, applied to four leading Internet Exchange Points in London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Milan, show that some vertical segments of these markets are extremely competitive, while others are highly concentrated, putting them within the special attention category of the Merger Guidelines.

description: The assumption of perfectly rational representative agents is commonly questioned. This paper explores the equilibrium properties of boundedly rational heterogeneous agents. We combine an adaptive learning process in a modified cobweb model within a Stackleberg framework. We assume that there is an asymmetric information diffusion process from leading to following firms. In contrast to a simple cobweb model which has a unique REE, our model may produce multiple restricted perceptions equilibria (RPE). However, a unique and learnable RPE, under certain conditions, can exist in our model. In addition, the following firms’ forecasts can confound the leading firms’ forecasts - when the following firms misinterpret information coming from the leading firms. We refer this situation to the boomerang effect. We also find that the leading firms’ mean squared forecast error can be even larger than that of following firms if the proportion of following firms is sufficiently large in the market.
N/D Description of Two Meson Amplitudes and Chiral Symmetry

description: The most general structure of an elastic partial wave amplitude when the unphysical cuts are neglected is deduced in terms of the N/D method. This result is then matched to lowest order, ${\mathcal{O}}(p^2)$, Chiral Perturbation Theory($χ$PT) and to the exchange (consistent with chiral symmetry) of resonances in the s-channel. The extension of the method to coupled channels is also given. Making use of the former formalism, the $ππ$ and $Kπ$(I=1/2) P-wave scattering amplitudes are described without free parameters when taking into account relations coming from the 1/$N_c$ expansion and unitarity. Next, the scalar sector is studied and good agreement with experiment up to $\sqrt{s}=1.4$ GeV is found. It is observed that the $a_0(980)$, $σ$ and $κ(900)$ resonances are meson-meson states originating from the unitarization of the ${\mathcal{O}}(p^2)$ $χ$PT amplitudes. On the other hand, the $f_0(980)$ is a combination of a strong S-wave meson-meson unitarity effect and of a preexisting singlet resonance with a mass around 1 GeV. We have also studied the size of the contributions of the unphysical cuts to the $ππ$(I=0) and $Kπ$(I=1/2) elastic S-wave amplitudes from $χ$PT and the exchange of resonances in crossed channels up to $\sqrt{s}\approx 800$ MeV. The loops are calculated as in $χ$PT at next to leading order. We find a small correction from the unphysical cuts to our calculated partial waves.

description: We consider a supersymmetric system of D-5-branes compactified on a 5-torus with a self-dual background field strength on a 4-torus and carrying left-moving momentum along a circle. The corresponding supergravity solution describes a 5-dimensional black hole with a regular horizon. The entropy of this black hole may be explained in terms of the Landau degeneracy for open strings stretching between different branes. In the gauge theory approximation this D-5-brane system is described by a super Yang-Mills theory with a t'Hooft twist. By choosing a supersymmetric branch of the theory we obtain perfect agreement with the entropy formula. The result relies on the number of massless torons associated with the gauge field components that obey twisted boundary conditions.

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. Quantiles estimated in this way provide information on various aspects of a time series, including dispersion, asymmetry and, for financial applications, value at risk. Tests for the constancy of quantiles, and associated contrasts, are constructed using indicator variables; these tests have a similar form to stationarity tests and, under the null hypothesis, their asymptotic distributions belong to the Cramér von Mises family. Estimates of the quantiles at the end of the series provide the basis for forecasting. As such they offer an alternative to conditional quantile autoregressions and, at the same time, give some insight into their structure and potential drawbacks.
2-Loop Supersymmetric Renormalisation Group Equations Including R-Parity Violation and Aspects of Unification

description: We present the complete 2-loop renormalisation group equations of the superpotential parameters for the supersymmetric standard model including the full set of R-parity violating couplings. We use these equations to do a study of (a) gauge coupling unification, (b) bottom-tau unification, (c) the fixed-point structure of the top quark Yukawa coupling, and (d) two-loop bounds from perturbative unification. For large values of the R-parity violating coupling, the value of α_S(M_Z) predicted from unification can be reduced by 5% with respect to the R-parity conserving case, bringing it to within 2σof the observed value. Bottom-tau Yukawa unification becomes potentially valid for any value of \tanβ\sim 2-50. The prediction of the top Yukawa coupling from the low \tanβ, infra-red quasi fixed point can be lowered by up to 10%, raising \tanβup to a maximum of 5 and relaxing experimental constraints upon the quasi-fixed point scenario. For heavy scalar fermion masses of order 1 Tev the limits on the higher family ΔL\not=0 operators from perturbative unification are competitive with the indirect laboratory bounds. We calculate the dependence of these bounds upon \tan β.

description: We present a SALT-RSS spectroscopic study of a sample of S0 galaxies established by Vaghmare et al. (2015) as having pseudobulges using a combination of photometric criteria. We extract the spectra of various regions along the galaxy major axis using standard long-slit spectroscopic reduction procedures and model the spectra using STARLIGHT to derive detailed star formation histories. The central spectra of galaxies without bars in our sample reveal a complex star formation history, which is consistent with the belief that pseudobulges have a history of star formation distributed over extended periods of time. The spectra of the unbarred galaxies contain strong emission lines such as H $α$, indicating active star formation, which appears to be in contradiction with the expectation that S0 galaxies have been stripped of gas. In the case of the two barred galaxies in the sample, the spectrum is dominated by light from a much older stellar population. This seems to suggest an accelerated formation of the pseudobulge made possible by the action of the bar. One of these galaxies appears to have exhausted its reservoir of gas and thus has no signature of a recently formed population of stars while the other galaxy has managed to give rise to new stars through a recent funnelling action. We have also confirmed the influence of bars on the nature of the stellar population in a pseudobulge using an alternate sample based on the SDSS

Magnetic and Transport Properties of the Kondo Lattice Model with Ferromagnetic Exchange Coupling

description: The Kondo lattice model with Hund's ferromagnetic spin coupling is investigated as a microscopic model of the perovskite-type $3d$ manganese oxide (R,A)MnO$_3$ where $R$ and $A$ are rare earth element and alkaline earth element, respectively. We take the classical spin limit $S=\infty$ for the simplicity of the calculation, since the quantum exchange process seems to be irrelevant in the high temperature paramagnetic phase. Magnetic and transport properties of the system are calculated. In the hole doped systems, ferromagnetic instabilities are observed as the temperature is lowered. The giant magnetoresistance of this model is in excellent agreement with the experimental data of (La,Sr)MnO$_3$.

Numerical modeling of rocking of shallow foundations subjected to slow cyclic loading with consideration of soil-structure interaction

description: Strong Vibration of buildings during seismic or wind loading may result in an uplift or partial separation of the foundation from the underneath soil. To date, various researches have indicated that Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) has many favorable features including a probable increase in natural period of the soil-structure system and also a decrease in shear base demand in structures. Furthermore, Rocking is one of the most important factors in describing the rotational behavior of a structure built on a shallow foundation especially on a soft soil which can affect the dynamic behavior of the structure noticeably. To study the effects of rocking of shallow foundations subjected to slow cyclic loading with consideration of soil-structure interaction, a Finite Element Method (FEM) using ABAQUS software has been deployed to simulate the rocking motion of shallow foundations. For a more efficient simulation of the soil, both linear and non-linear elasto-plastic behavior of the soil has been taken into account in the analysis using the sub-routine coded in FORTRAN. The results notably show that allowing the foundation to rock may result in stiffness degradation of the soil-structure system and an increase in energy dissipation of soil-structure, especially in high rise structures. Additionally, results describe that deploying the linear elastic-perfect plastic approach may result in higher uplift of the foundation in comparison to that using a non-linear elasto-plastic approach, particularly in structures with lower heights.

An Empirical Analysis of the 2000 Corporate Tax Reform in Germany: Effects on Ownership and Control in Listed Companies

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Classification-JEL: G30, G32, G38
subject: Voting-block statistics, blockholders, corporate control

description: This paper is a first attempt to analyse the implications of the 2000 corporate tax reform on ownership concentration in Germany. The empirical results document a fall in ownership concentration and a decrease in the power of top institutional owners including the big banks. The description of German corporate governance as a bank-based system may hence no longer apply. However, contrary to what was expected by proponents of the reform, the corporate tax reform did not revolutionise German corporate governance. Ownership concentration in 2005 is still high compared to the Anglo-American economies and an active market for corporate control is not observed.

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.

description: A new determination of the strange-quark mass is discussed, based on the two-point function involving the axial-vector current divergences. This Green function is known in perturbative QCD up to order O(alpha_s^3), and up to dimension-six in the non-perturbative domain. The hadronic spectral function is parametrized in terms of the kaon pole, followed by its two radial excitations, and normalized at threshold according to conventional chiral-symmetry. The result of a Laplace transform QCD sum rule analysis of this two-point function is: m_s(1 GeV^2) = 155 pm 25 MeV.

Depth of maximum of extensive air showers and cosmic ray composition above 10**17 eV in the geometrical multichain model of nuclei interactions

Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The depth of maximum for extensive air showers measured by Fly's Eye and Yakutsk experiments is analysed. The analysis depends on the hadronic interaction model that determine cascade development. The novel feature found in the cascading process for nucleus-nucleus collisions at high energies leads to a fast increase of the inelasticity in heavy nuclei interactions without changing the hadron-hadron interaction properties. This effects the development of the extensive air showers initiated by heavy primaries. The detailed calculations were performed using the recently developed geometrical multichain model and the CORSIKA simulation code. The agreement with data on average depth of shower maxima, the falling slope of the maxima distribution, and these distribution widths are found for the very heavy cosmic ray mass spectrum (slightly heavier than expected in the diffusion model at about 3*10**17 eV and similar to the Fly's Eye composition at this energy).

description: Transparency and openness of the monetary policymaking process at the Bank of England has provided very detailed information on both the decisions of individual members of the Monetary Policy Committee and the information on which they are based. We consider this decision making process in the context of a model in which inflation forecast targeting is used but there is heterogeneity among the members of the committee. We find that internally generated forecasts of output and market generated expectations of medium term inflation provide the best description of discrete changes in interest rates. We find a role for asset prices through the equity market, foreign exchange market and housing prices. There are identifiable forms of heterogeneity among members of the committee that improves the predictability of interest rate changes. This can be thought of as supporting the argument that full transparency of monetary policy decision making can be welfare enhancing.

We then present the supergravity solutions that correspond to these bound states. In addition using the worldvolume solitons of IIA and IIB NS-5-branes and KK-monopoles, we investigate the sectors of the "gauge" theories that preserve one quarter of bulk supersymmetry. This leads to a generalization a supergravity solution which has the interpretation of two intersecting NS-5-branes at a 3-brane and to the construction of some of the worldvolume solitons of IIA and M-theory KK-monopoles. Furthermore, using the IIA/IIB T-duality of the bulk theories, we give the T-duality transformations of the worldvolume solitons of NS-5-branes and KK-monopoles. We find that the worldvolume 0-brane, self-dual string and 2-brane solitons of NS-5-branes appear in the same T-duality chain.

description: There is a growing concern over our reliance on conventional electricity sources and their long-term environmental, climate change, and security of supply implications, and much hope is vested in the ability of future technological progress to tackle these issues. However, informed academic analysis and policy debates on the future of electricity systems must be based on the current state, and prospects of, technological options. This paper is the introductory chapter in the forthcoming book Future Electricity Technologies and Systems. The book comprises contributions from leading experts in their respective technology areas. The chapters present state of the art and likely progress paths of conventional and new electricity generation, networks, storage, and end-use technologies. In this paper we review the growth trend in electricity demand and carbon emissions. We then present a concise overview of the chapters. Finally, we discuss the main contextual factors that influence long-term technological progress.

description: We calculate the Raman spectrum of the two-dimensional (2D) spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet by exact diagonalization and quantum Monte Carlo techniques on clusters of up to 144 sites and, on a 16-site cluster, by considering the phonon-magnon interaction which leads to random fluctuations of the exchange integral. Results are in good agreement with experiments on various high-T_c precursors, such as La_2CuO_4 and YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.2}. In particular, our calculations reproduce the broad lineshape of the two-magnon peak, the asymmetry about its maximum, the existence of spectral weight at high energies, and the observation of nominally forbidden A_{1g} scattering.

description: We report a study of CsI(Tl) scintillator to assess its applicability in experiments to search for dark matter particles. Measurements of the mean scintillation pulse shapes due to nuclear and electron recoils have been performed. We find that, as with NaI(Tl), pulse shape analysis can be used to discriminate between electron and nuclear recoils down to 4 keV. However, the discrimination factor is typically (10-15)% better than in NaI(Tl) above 4 keV. The quenching factor for caesium and iodine recoils was measured and found to increase from 11% to ~17% with decreasing recoil energy from 60 to 12 keV. Based on these results, the potential sensitivity of CsI(Tl) to dark matter particles in the form of neutralinos was calculated. We find an improvement over NaI(Tl) for the spin independent WIMP-nucleon interactions up to a factor of 5 assuming comparable electron background levels in the two scintillators.

description: Machine learning methods play increasingly important roles in pre-procedural planning for complex surgeries and interventions. Very often, however, researchers find the historical records of emerging surgical techniques, such as the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), are highly scarce in quantity. In this paper, we address this challenge by proposing novel generative invertible networks (GIN) to select features and generate high-quality virtual patients that may potentially serve as an additional data source for machine learning. Combining a convolutional neural network (CNN) and generative adversarial networks (GAN), GIN discovers the pathophysiologic meaning of the feature space. Moreover, a test of predicting the surgical outcome directly using the selected features results in a high accuracy of 81.55%, which suggests little pathophysiologic information has been lost while conducting the feature selection. This demonstrates GIN can generate virtual patients not only visually authentic but also pathophysiologically interpretable.

Long-term vs. Short-term Contracts; A European perspective on natural gas

Publisher: name: Faculty of Economics
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Classification-JEL: L22, D 43, L95
subject: contracts, gas, market power, demand elasticity, liberalisation, Europe

description: This paper analyses the economics of long-term gas contracts under changing institutional conditions, mainly gas sector liberalisation. The paper is motivated by the increasingly tense debate in continental Europe, UK and the US on the security of long-term gas supply. We discuss the main issues regarding long-term contracts, i.e. the changing role of the flexibility clause, the effect of abandoning the destination clause, and the strategic behaviour of producers between long-term sales and spot-sales. The literature suggests consumers and producers benefit from risk hedging through long-term contracts. Furthermore long-term contracts may reduce exercise of market power. This was argued to benefit consumers at the ‘expense’ of producers’ profits. Our analysis shows if the long-run demand elasticity is significantly lower than the short-run elasticity, both strategic producers and consumers benefit from lower prices and larger market volume. Some policy implications of the findings are also discussed.
On Testing Sample Selection Bias under the Multicollinearity Problem

subject: Sample selection bias; t-test; Wald test, likelihood ratio test, Lagrange multiplier test

description: This paper examines and compares the finite sample performance of the existing tests for sample selection bias, especially under the multi-collinearity problem pointed out by Nawata (1993). The results show that under such multicollinearity problem, (i) the t-test for sample selection bias based on the Heckman and Greene variance estimator can be unreliable; (ii) the standard t-test (Heckman 1979) and the asymptotically efficient Lagrange multiplier test (Melino 1982) have correct size but very little power; (iii) however, the likelihood ratio test following the maximum likelihood estimation remains powerful.
Accessibility of Women in Educational Leadership in K-12 Alberta
Creators: Nwajiugo, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2025

This capstone paper investigates the systemic and cultural barriers that limit women’s access to leadership roles within Alberta’s K-12 educational system. Utilizing leadership theory as a conceptual framework, a comprehensive literature review was conducted, with thematic analysis identifying five interrelated themes: implicit gender bias, intersecting barriers of race, class, and gender, insufficient mentorship and sponsorship opportunities, gendered organizational structures, and policy shortcomings. The findings reveal that, despite progressive policy initiatives, entrenched biases and structural impediments persist, hindering women’s progression into senior leadership positions. This research underscores the need for targeted policy reforms,

inclusive leadership training, and enhanced mentorship programs to create equitable leadership pathways. As a capping project for my Master of Education in Studies in Educational Leadership, this work deepens the understanding of gendered leadership dynamics. It provides actionable insights for fostering a more inclusive and supportive educational environment.
Topological states in A15 superconductors

description: Superconductors with the A15 structure are prototypical type-II s-wave superconductors which have generated considerable interest in early superconducting material history. However, the topological nature of the electronic structure remains unnoticed so far. Here, using first-principles band structure calculations based on density functional theory, we show that the A15 superconductors (Ta$_3$Sb, Ta$_3$Sn, and Ta$_3$Pb) have nontrivial band topology in the bulk electronic band structures, leading to the formation of topological surface states near the Fermi energy. Due to the bulk superconductivity, the proximity effect in the topological surface states would induce topological superconductivity even without heterostructure of a topological insulator and an s-wave superconductor. Our results indicate that the A15 superconductors are promising candidates for the realization of the topological superconductivity and the Majorana fermion.
