description: The false-positive probability (FPP) of Kepler transiting candidates is a key value for statistical studies of candidate properties. A previous investigation of the stellar population in the Kepler field has provided an estimate for the FPP of less than 5% for most of the candidates. We report here the results of our radial velocity observations on a sample of 46 Kepler candidates with a transit depth greater than 0.4%, orbital period less than 25 days and host star brighter than Kepler magnitude 14.7. We used the SOPHIE spectrograph mounted on the 1.93-m telescope at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence to establish the nature of the transiting candidates. In this sample, we found five undiluted eclipsing binaries, two brown dwarfs, six diluted eclipsing binaries, and nine new transiting planets that complement the 11 already published planets. The remaining 13 candidates were not followed-up or remain unsolved due to photon noise limitation or lack of observations. From these results we computed the FPP for Kepler close-in giant candidates to be 34.8% \pm 6.5%. We aimed to investigate the variation of the FPP for giant candidates with the longer orbital periods and found that it should be constant for orbital periods between 10 and 200 days. This significant disagrees with the previous estimates. We discuss the reasons for this discrepancy and the possible extension of this work toward smaller planet candidates. Finally, taking the false-positive rate into account, we refined the occurrence rate of hot jupiters from the Kepler data.

What went wrong: Aggregate demand, structural reform, and the politics of 1990s Japan
Creators: name: Madsen, Robert A.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2004
Subjects: Commerce

description: This paper argues that the cause of Japan's stagnation in the 1990s was not inefficient corporations, a failure to implement adequate reforms, or bad macroeconomic policy. The problem was more fundamental: a structural inadequacy of aggregate demand. By the middle 1980s Japan was approaching economic maturity, and its savings rate should have fallen as consumption replaced private non-residential investment as a source of new demand. Demographic factors, however, prevented this adjustment from taking place. Much of the population was now entering middle age, the stage of life in which people everywhere increase their savings in order to prepare for the exigencies of retirement. The behavior of these older people kept the savings rate elevated long past the point where such elevation was helpful; and the country consequently suffered from a surfeit of capital which, if not absorbed by some sector of the economy, might well have pushed it into a prolonged recession or even a depression. The most obvious way to resolve this imbalance would have been to ship the excess funds abroad through a much larger current account surplus. The government, however, could not weaken the yen in order to produce this effect because Japan's trading partners were complaining that it was already exporting too much and, perhaps paradoxically, because important domestic interest groups were also opposed to a policy of aggressive depreciation. Political considerations likewise prevented the government from enacting structural reforms that might have lowered the savings rate, as is evident in this paper's review of conditions both in the overall economy and in the automobile, retail, banking, and construction industries. By default, then, Japan was forced to rely on a combination of excessive corporate investment and ever larger government budget deficits as a means of employing capital and forestalling recession. This strategy cannot be adjudged a complete failure, for it bolstered demand and enabled the country to achieve GDP growth of some 1% per annum. But it was certainly suboptimal, leaving the economy highly inefficient and causing the national debt to increase dramatically. Japan would therefore have fewer resources with which to remedy its profound structural distortions when it finally attempted to do so in the 2000s and 2010s.

description: The essence definition of "corporate social responsibility concept is clarified, the difference of which lies in the comprehensive consideration of the directions of its implementation on the generalization of the social respon-sibility needs of business, which provides: compliance with current legislation; ensuring high quality goods and services, decent and safe working conditions at the enterprise; information openness, as well as the implementation of social initiatives. The main approaches to the definition of subjects and levels of business social responsibility are generalized, on the basis of which theoretical and methodical recommendations for determining the directions of social responsibility of agribusiness enterprises are developed. This allows the company to gain the support of the local community, increase the image and prestige of employment, become a market leader, improve the quality of life, health and well-being of the population, which will increase its social capitalization. The financial instru-ments for the implementation of social responsibility of agribusiness entities are systematized and the directions of their improvement are determined.
Going deeper: cultivating a generative approach to personal transformation and systems change in outdoor education
Creators: name: Norris, Julian
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2009

description: Bibliography: p. 396-428
description: This study asks how outdoor education can make a greater contribution to the complex challenges of our times, and support the evolution of more sustainable patterns of human behavior. Outdoor education is an eclectic tradition of philosophies, pedagogies, popular movements and methods that has attempted-since the Industrial Revolution-to address what are argued to be the disruptive socio-cultural and ecological consequences of modernity. The study explores an emerging strand within outdoor education that builds on this legacy by connecting deep personal transformation to systems-level change within a broad sustainable development agenda. A diverse group of leading practitioners within this emerging strand was identified. Data collection involved in-depth interviews with twenty such practitioners, along with a broad inter-disciplinary literature review and participant-observer fieldwork. The process of data gathering and subsequent analysis drew on an interpretive methodology, guided by phenomenological hermeneutics in a Gadamerian tradition. Research findings describe the theoretical foundations, social ecology and methods of an emerging approach which is broadly categorized as generative practice and the following research question was explored: "What does it mean to work generatively?" A theoretical framework for generative practice was built which proposes that such work follows two distinct arcs. The inward arc describes a progressively deeper journey to uncover and encounter the authentic self or what some practitioners call original nature. The outward arc represents a progressively greater capacity to engage ethically and transformatively with the world within which that self is embedded. A key conclusion is that generative practice in outdoor education involves creating and sustaining powerful learning contexts within which to support both arcs. The study also explores the practice wisdom and metaskills of generative outdoor education, finding that practitioner variables are central to the process of facilitating meaningful change. The generative practice model is used to describe key lines of practitioner development and the study explores the wider implications of this approach in the leadership development field. Finally a series of practical recommendations are made to guide the development of generative outdoor education models.
Economic Development, Growth of Human Capital, and the Dynamics of the Wage Structure
Creators: name: Mincer, Jacob
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1995
Subjects: Labor economics

description: Human capital is not only a factor in economic growth, but also an effect of it or of developments generated by economic growth. In this paper I elucidate the sources of growth of human capital in the course of economic development. On the supply side discussed in Part I I include the growth of family income, urbanization, the demographic transition triggered by declines in mortality, and the rising cost of time, an important factor in the growth of the female labor force in the 20th century. The supply side alone cannot explain the continuous growth of human capital as it implies a self limiting decline in rates of return below those in alternative investments. The trendless (though fluctuating) rates of return on human capital are consistent with growing demands for human capital in the labor market. Growth of demand for labor skills in a function of capital accumulation and of technological changes which put a premium on labor skills. Evidence on this hypothesis is summarized in Part II, and on supply responses to growing demand for human capital in Part III. Changes in the skill and wage structures in the labor market are an important part of the evidence. The reciprocal relation between economic growth and the growth of human capital is likely to be an important key to sustained economic growth. A caveat applies to indirect effects of economic growth on family instability which may lead to a deterioration of childhood human capital in sizable sectors of society.

Speculation on Primary Commodities: The Effects of Restricted Entry
Creators: name: McLaren, John
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1992
Subjects: Economics

description: There are doubts about the competitiveness of real-world commodity trade and storage. Thus, we present a model of oligopolistic commodity speculation, in which a limited number of speculators practice non-cooperative storage in an infinite horizon game. A significant technical difficulty due to the non-negative stock constraint is overcome, and a tractable sub-game perfect equilibrium is presented, in which it is shown that less is stored and prices are more volatile than under perfect competition. It turns out that a tax on consumption of the good would increase storage, stabilize prices, increase welfare and raise speculative profits; the oligopolists would thus lobby for a tariff raised against their own shipments.

Longing for the fifth race: esoteric racialist revolutionaries in hispanic America, 1910-1935

Year: 2009

description: Bibliography: p. 327-344
description: This is a study about the refashioning of human beings and culture in Hispanic America, from 1910-1935. These attempts were motivated by a spiritualized confluence of esoteric and revolutionary concepts as they intersected with the race idea. We examine the worldviews of three twentieth-century, radical Latin American revolutionary figures: Jose Vasconcelos (1882-1959) of Mexico, Victor Raul Haya de la Torre (1895-1979) of Peru, and Augusto Sandino (1895-1934) of Nicaragua. They crafted comprehensive, world-transformative plans for a perfected humanity out of racialist speculations based on esoteric beliefs. All three revolutionaries believed in the supremacy of the Latin American race, and that it was destined to play a pivotal role in the impending cosmic transformations. The analysis demonstrates that their universalist revolutionary rhetoric masked a narrow element of racial identity, and that the visions and goals of their racialist spiritualities possessed a millenarian character.

The fiscal investment and loan system
Creators: name: Fukuda, Susumu
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1989
Subjects: Economics

description: Since FILS resources are public funds, its use is aimed at developing national welfare. During the postwar recovery period, FILP funds were directed mainly toward industrial policy. Since then, however, the emphasis has shifted toward standard of living and environmental concerns, such as water supply, sewers, housing, roads and other environmental facilities. In this way, FILS played a large role during the postwar recovery and high growth period. Even now it is believed to play an important role in the economy, but as the interest rate gap between FILS and the market diminishes, as private financial institutions resources and instruments grow, and as previously public enterprises become privatized, the conditions that surround FILS will change dramatically. Consequently, the need to disperse FILS resources will be far less than before; to continue using FILS efficiently, and to assure allocation in areas of true need, it will be necessary in the future to rationally reappraise the qualitative and quantitative use of the FILS' system.
Empirical determination of charm quark energy loss and its consequences for azimuthal anisotropy

description: We propose an empirical model to determine the form of energy loss of charm quarks due to multiple scatterings in quark gluon plasma by demanding a good description of production of D mesons and non-photonic electrons in relativistic collision of heavy nuclei at RHIC and LHC energies. Best results are obtained when we approximate the momentum loss per collision $Δp_T \propto α\, p_T$, where $α$ is a constant depending on the centrality and the centre of mass energy. Comparing our results with those obtained earlier for drag coefficients estimated using Langevin equation for heavy quarks we find that up to half of the energy loss of charm quarks at top RHIC energy could be due to collisions while that at LHC energy at 2760 GeV/A the collisional energy loss could be about one third of the total. Estimates are obtained for azimuthal anisotropy in momentum spectra of heavy mesons, due to this energy loss. We further suggest that energy loss of charm quarks may lead to an enhanced production of D-mesons and single electrons at low $p_T$ in AA collisions.

The Influence of Nonmarital Childbearing on the Formation of First Marriages

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1993
Subjects: Economics

description: We examine the association between nonmarital childbearing and the subsequent likelihood of first marriage and document a negative association between these variables controlling for a variety of potentially confounding influences in several large survey data sets for the United States. We then subject possible explanations of this finding to empirical test. The analyses performed support the following conclusions: Nonmarital childbearing does not appear to be driven by low expectations of future marriage. Rather, the direction of causation is just the reverse: Nonmarital childbearing tends to be an unexpected and unwanted event that has multiple effects, which on balance are negative, on a woman's subsequent likelihood of first marriage. Further, the upward trend in the proportion of childbearing that occurs outside of marriage may account for one-fourth of the increase in the proportion of women never marrying in the United States over cohorts separated by almost two decades. We do, however, find that nonmarital childbearers are more likely to enter informal cohabitational unions than are their single counterparts who do not bear a child. We find evidence that the negative association between out-of-wedlock childbearing and subsequent marriage is particularly strong among welfare recipients as well as evidence that out-of-wedlock childbearing increases the likelihood that a woman marries her child's biological father. On the other hand, we find no evidence that (a) stigma associated with nonmarital childbearing plays an important role in this process or (b) the demands of children reduce the time that unmarried mothers have to devote to marriage market activities.

Health behavior, primary care access, and unmet health needs in Chinese young adults
Creators: name: Ou, Christine Hui-Kuan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Background and Purpose: According to the Canadian Community Health Survey conducted in 2000-1, 12% of Canadians reported experiencing an unmet health need compared to four percent in 1994-5. There is growing reason to investigate the increasing number of Canadians reporting unmet health needs, particularly among young adults (between 18 and 30 years of age) who access health services less frequently than any other age group. In particular, the growing population of Chinese living in Canada present unanswered questions regarding the health needs of Chinese young adults. The purpose of this study was to examine: 1) if Chinese young adults who primarily speak Chinese experience more unmet health needs when compared to English-speaking Chinese young adults and, if there are, 2) the reasons why Chinese young adults have unmet health needs. Methods: A mixed methods approach was taken; in-depth interviews (n=8) with Chinese young adults were used to complement and explain findings from a secondary analysis of a larger cross-sectional survey of the primary health care seeking behaviours of Chinese-, English-, and Punjabi-speaking Canadians. Findings: Fifty-eight Chinese young adults participated in the primary health care survey; ten percent (n=6) reported having an unmet health need related to the availability and accessibility of health care. Language preference was not found to be associated with unmet health needs. Close to two out of three young adults reported seeing a physician in the past year. Twenty-four percent reported accessing health care outside of Canada. In-depth interviews revealed that Chinese young adults had unmet needs due to the lack of a primary care provider and not accessing preventive care. Acculturation and health behaviour was found to be more predictive of unmet health care needs than language.

description: This paper compares the evidence concerning successful versus unsuccessful fiscal adjustments, where success is defined in terms of achieving a lasting debt reduction. The goal is to understand from successful adjustments, what policies can help the governments of countries which will soon have to implement vigorous fiscal retrenchments. We focus, in particular, on two questions: (1) is the composition of fiscal adjustments different in successful versus unsuccessful cases? That is, are successful fiscal adjustments typically achieved by means of expenditure cuts or tax increases? Which components in the expenditure and revenue sides should be adjusted? (2) What are the macroeconomic consequences of fiscal adjustments, and, are they different in successful versus unsuccessful cases?

Quantum simulation of the hexagonal Kitaev model with trapped ions

description: We present a detailed study of quantum simulations of coupled spin systems in surface-electrode ion-trap arrays, and illustrate our findings with a proposed implementation of the hexagonal Kitaev model [A. Kitaev, Annals of Physics 321,2 (2006)]. The effective (pseudo)spin interactions making up such quantum simulators are found to be proportional to the dipole-dipole interaction between the trapped ions, and are mediated by motion which can be driven by state-dependent forces. The precise forms of the trapping potentials and the interactions are derived in the presence of a surface electrode and a cover electrode. These results are the starting point to derive an optimized surface-electrode geometry for trapping ions in the desired honeycomb lattice of Kitaev's model, where we design the dipole-dipole interactions in a way that allows for coupling all three bond types of the model simultaneously, without the need for time discretization. Finally we propose a simple wire structure that can be incorporated in a microfabricated chip to generate localized state-dependent forces which drive the couplings prescribed by this particular model; such a wire structure should be adaptable to many other situations.

description: This paper obtains the limiting distribution of the trace test for cointegration in the context of the VAR (n) model dealt with in Johansen (1988), (1991). The limiting distribution in question turns out to be that of a linear combination of mutually independent chi-squared variables all with the same degree of freedom parameter. The coefficients of the linear combination are characteristic roots of a certain positive definite matrix which may be estimated consistently.
Constitutive and computational aspects of localized and diffuse instabilities in geomaterials

description: A rich variety of failure patterns in geomaterials arise from the instability of otherwise uniform states, stablishing a connection between well-known phenomena such as liquefaction, dilatancy, localization and fracture. While in geotechnical engineering, instability is a misnomer and rather refers to problems of limit equilibrium analysis, by contrast , the notion of instability in mechanics usually refers to two broad categories: material (constitutive) and geometrical (structural). The type of instability discussed in this dissertation is of the material type ince it results from the interaction of particles with their neighbours at the micro cal and has its origins in the strong dependence of material behaviour on strength, density and plastic strain softening. Thus, the proper understanding of material behaviour is essential to the formulation of realistic constitutive models and to the capturing of various failure patterns and instabilities in geomaterials. This dissertation studies failure as a bifurcation problem and discusses localized and diffuse instabilities, the two most ubiquitous types of material instability in geomaterials. These material instabilities are examined through a newly developed elastoplastic constitutive model endow d with appropriate attributes such as strengths, density and fabric dependencies. The analyses reveal the possibility of having diffuse instability in the absence of any localized d formations within the plastic limit surface. The resulting analysis gives rise to the existence of a domain of bifurcation that encompasses the intrinsic effects of stress-strain history , direction of loading, type of loading, and fabric. The computations start at a material point level (mesoscale) and are later on extended to initial boundary value problem settings (macroscale) where both localized and diffuse failures are examined. The boundary value problems involved focus on real geomaterial aspects, such as material heterogeneity and drainage condition. In all simulations, the correlation between nonpositive values of the second-order work and regions of impeding unstable deformation are found to be strong and evident. One of the consequences of such an observation is that conventional analysis of failure based on Mohr- Coulomb plastic limit may not be sufficient to examine the safety of a geostructure. Rather, other criteria such as based on second-order work and the existence of a bifurcation surface within the plastic limit must also be eh eked. As a consequence, FEM-codes need to be equipped with robust constitutive law with softening, non-associated plastic flow along with the second-order work instability criterion to capture the proper physics of material behaviour and the proper failure modes. This dissertation examines contemporary approaches to failure analysis of geomaterial as a bifurcation problem, and hence presents a paradigm shift from current methods of analysis.
Politisches Kalendergedicht auf das Jahr 1466

description: Der Name des Verfassers wird in einem Akrostichon aus den Anfangsbuchstaben der ersten dreizehn Strophen genannt: "IOHANNES DVSCH". Das Gedicht gibt sich als Kalender: Jede Strophe schliesst mit der Nennung des Tages (und am Anfang zusätzlich der Stunde) des Neumonds. Ob die Handschrift tatsächlich als Kalender genutzt werden sollte, ist aber zweifelhaft. Es gibt auch keine entsprechenden Gebrauchsspuren. Steinmann vermutet, dass das Manuskript für einen Vortrag so angelegt wurde.

description: We use computer simulations to investigate the stability of a two-component polymer brush de-mixing on a curved template into phases of different morphological properties. It has been previously shown via molecular dynamics simulations that immiscible chains having different length and anchored to a cylindrical template will phase separate into striped phases of different widths oriented perpendicularly to the cylindrical axis. We calculate free energy differences for a variety of stripe widths, and extract simple relationships between the sizes of the two polymers, N_1 and N_2, and the free energy dependence on the stripe width. We explain these relationships using simple physical arguments based upon previous theoretical work on the free energy of polymer brushes.

 Notes: every folder at the lowest level has an info.txt which maps the models in that folder to the section of the paper Warnings: the testing loss stats reported for gestures are correct but incorrectly scaled. Rather than dividing the sum of the batches losses by the number of batches we divide by the total number of samples. In the paper we scale the learning curve up to adjust for this oversight.
Conifold degenerations of Fano 3-folds as hypersurfaces in toric varieties

description: There exist exactly 166 4-dimensional reflexive polytopes such that the corresponding 4-dimensional Gorenstein toric Fano varieties have at worst terminal singularities in codimension 3 and their anticanonical divisor is divisible by 2. For every such a polytope, one naturally obtains a family of Fano hypersurfaces X with at worst conifold singularities. A generic 3-dimensional Fano hypersurface X can be interpreted as a flat conifold degeneration of some smooth Fano 3-folds Y whose classification up to deformation was obtained by Iskovskikh, Mori and Mukai. In this case, both Fano varieties X and Y have the same Picard number r. Using toric mirror symmetry, we define a r-dimensional generalized hypergeometric power series associated to the dual reflexive polytope. We show that if r =1 then this series is a normalized regular solution of a modular D3-equation that appears in the Golyshev correspondence. We expect that the multidimensional power series can be used to compute the small quantum cohomology ring of all Fano 3-folds Y with the Picard number r >1 if Y admit a conifold degeneration X.

description: Frequency modulation of a continuous wave laser source enables generation of photons at multiple frequencies from a single pump laser. Such multiple closely spaced laser lines are important for high data rate QAM in dense-WDM networks. In this paper we present a monolithic silicon acousto-optic frequency modulator (AOFM) operating at 1.09GHz. We demonstrate frequency modulation of a 1564nm wavelength pump laser, resulting in generation of sideband laser lines spaced by 0.009nm.

description: We report on high-temperature electron spin resonance studies of A-site ordered YBaMn2O6 and disordered Y0.5Ba0.5MnO3. In the disordered sample we find that the linewidth is governed by spin-spin relaxation processes as in many other manganite systems. In contrast we find a Korringa-like spin relaxation with a slope of about 1 Oe/K above the charge-ordering transition and extending up to 930K in the metal ordered YBaMn2O6 samples. A Korringa-law is a clear feature of a truly metallic state, pointing to an unconventional high-temperature phase of these ordered manganites. In agreement with the ESR intensity this suggests that in the metallic high-temperature phase the ESR signal stems from Mn^4+ core spins which relax via the quasi-delocalized e_g electrons.

description: We obtain an exact expression for the time evolution of the interacting Bose gas following a quench from a generic initial state using the Yudson representation for integrable systems. We study the time evolution of the density and noise correlation for a small number of bosons and their asymptotic behavior for any number. We show that for any value of the coupling, as long as it is repulsive, the system asymptotes towards a strongly repulsive gas, while for any value of an attractive coupling the long time behavior is dominated by the maximal bound state. This occurs independently of the initial state and can be viewed as an emerging "dynamic universality".
