description: The theory of storage and arbitrage approaches fully incorporate nominal interest rates in far-near commodity price spreads Alternative frameworks admit a relationship between interest rates and commodity own rates of interest and as a result the commodity price spread would not completely incorporate the nominal interest rate This study examines the Views on interest rate-commodlty price relationships, the potential role of nonneutralities, and empirical evidence on the relationships The evidence does not support the hypothesis of a close relationship between commodity own rates and the real interest rate

description: Generative adversarial networks (GAN) have recently been shown to be efficient for speech enhancement. However, most, if not all, existing speech enhancement GANs (SEGAN) make use of a single generator to perform one-stage enhancement mapping. In this work, we propose to use multiple generators that are chained to perform multi-stage enhancement mapping, which gradually refines the noisy input signals in a stage-wise fashion. Furthermore, we study two scenarios: (1) the generators share their parameters and (2) the generators' parameters are independent. The former constrains the generators to learn a common mapping that is iteratively applied at all enhancement stages and results in a small model footprint. On the contrary, the latter allows the generators to flexibly learn different enhancement mappings at different stages of the network at the cost of an increased model size. We demonstrate that the proposed multi-stage enhancement approach outperforms the one-stage SEGAN baseline, where the independent generators lead to more favorable results than the tied generators.

Social Mobility in Modernizing Switzerland

description: Whether modernization leads to socially more open and mobile societies is one of the long-standing questions in sociology. Despite several decades of social science research, the question remains whether modernization processes such as industrialization, urbanization or educational expansion curb the relevance of social origin for the allocation of social positions. Focusing on 19th and 20th century Switzerland, this dissertation aims to answer this question from two perspectives. The first part offers a critical review of the methods used to measure and compare social mobility. It argues that the index of Mutual Information is better suited than often-used log-multiplicative models to answer research questions relating to the degree of a society’s overall openness. An application of the M-index to survey data from Switzerland also shows that this method can be used more flexibly, e.g. by making it possible to consider the status characteristics of the mother and father simultaneously. The most substantive contribution made by this thesis, however, is in the second part, which focuses on the relevance of social origin during Switzerland’s industrialization in the 19th century. Analyzing the effects of social origin during this phase of modernization is of special value when testing the modernization thesis, as most contributions to it were formulated by contrasting pre-industrial and industrial societies. Switzerland in the 19th century represents a well-suited test case for such an attempt as it included regions of rapid industrialization, while other areas remained predominantly agrarian. Newly collected data from the mainly agrarian canton of Lucerne and the early-industrialized canton of Glarus between the 1830s and 1880s make it possible to exploit this feature, the more so as the created dataset includes some indicators for modernization at the level of the municipalities. In broad terms, empirical analyses of both the linkage between father’s and son’s social class and homogamy by social origin support the general assumption of the modernization thesis. For example, stronger social mobility has been found in the much more industrialized canton of Glarus than in the more agrarian canton of Lucerne, and the case of the city of Lucerne supports the hypothesis that urbanization decreases the effects of social origin. By going into more detail, however, the results become less conclusive and suggest that the modernization thesis fails to provide clear and testable explanations for how different phases of the various sub-processes of modernization affect the relevance of social origin and how these processes combine to time-trends that can be observed in a given historical context.

Ten-fold serial dilutions ranging from 1.77E6 to 1.77 GE of both anthrose positive and negative plasmids were tested in triplicate (only fluorescence from Sterne specific allele primer is shown). The average CT values for C892T assay were as follows: 1.77E6 GE, 15.6; 1.77E5 GE, 18.9; 1.77E4 GE, 22.4; 1.77E3 GE, 25.9; 177 GE, 29.5; 17.7 GE, 33.3; and 1.77, 36.8. The standard curve displayed a slope of − 3.5578 and R2 of 0.9997. For the 1352 assay the average CT values were: 1.77E6 GE, 17.1; 1.77E5 GE, 20.8; 1.77E4 GE, 24.6; 1.77E3 GE, 28.3; 177 GE, 31.9; 17.7 GE, 35.0; and 1.77 GE, 38.3. The standard curve had a slope of − 3.5433 and R2 of 0.9988. Amplification at the 1.77-GE level was not consistent in either of the assays. The corresponding endpoint allelic discrimination plots for the 892 (B) and 1352 (D) assays depict the Sterne antABCD operon-carrying plasmid as red clusters and the WAG anthrose operon-carrying plasmid in blue. Undetermined calls corresponding to 1.77 GE of plasmid DNA are depicted as black Xs. Black squares near the plot origin represent negative controls.

description: Die kognitive Kontrolle beeinflusst nicht nur die unmittelbare Leistung, sie hat auch Konsequenzen auf die nachfolgende Gedächtnisleistung. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, drei Studien, die im Rahmen meiner Dissertation entstanden sind, zu integrieren und der Frage nachzugehen, wie verschiedene kognitive Konflikte während der Kodierung die Gedächtnisleistung beeinflussen. In der ersten Studie fanden wir Evidenz, dass Aufgabenwechsel und Bivalenz das Gedächtnis verschlechtern, was auf eine ineffiziente Aufmerksamkeitslenkung während hohen Kontrollanforderungen schliessen lässt. In der zweiten Studie wurden kognitive Konflikte in der Lernphase kombiniert. Wir replizierten in vier Experimenten, dass die Gedächtnisleistung durch Aufgabenwechsel reduziert wird. Ein Konflikt auf der Antwortebene resultierte hingegen in einem Gedächtnisvorteil. In der dritten Studie führten antwortkongruente (i.e., Stimuli, die in verschiedenen Aufgaben dieselbe Antworttaste verlangen) zu einer besseren Gedächtnisleistung als antwortinkongruente Stimuli, dies aber nur nach einem langen Intervall zwischen Lern- und Testphase. Den Effekt schrieben wir einem während der Lernphase entstandenen Schema für die kombinierten Stimuluskategorien zu, welches zu einer präferierten Konsolidierung führte. In der Diskussion werden die Resultate mit verschiedenen kognitiven Theorien und neuropsychologischen Modellen in Bezug gesetzt.

description: Given a quadratic form and $M$ linear forms in $N+1$ variables with coefficients in a number field $K$, suppose that there exists a point in $K^{N+1}$ at which the quadratic form vanishes and all the linear forms do not. Then we show that there exists a point like this of relatively small height. This generalizes a result of D.W. Masser (1998). As a corollary of this result, we prove an extension of Cassels' theorem on small zeros of quadratic forms (1955) to non-singular small zeros over a number field.

A multipolar effective one body waveform model for spin-aligned black hole binaries

description: We introduce \TEOBiResumSM{}, an improved version of the effective-one-body (EOB) waveform model \TEOBResumS{} for spin-aligned, coalescing black hole binaries, that includes subdominant gravitational waveform modes completed through merger and ringdown. Beyond the dominant $(\ell,|m|)=(2,2)$ one, the more robust multipoles all over the parameter space are: $(2,1)$, $(3,3)$, $(3,2)$, $(4,4)$ and $(5,5)$. The multipolar ringdown EOB waveform stems from suitably fitting many numerical relativity (NR) waveform data from the Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes (SXS) collaboration together with test-mass waveform data. Mode-mixing effects are not incorporated. The orbital (nonspinning) part of the multipolar waveform amplitudes includes test-mass results up to (relative) 6PN order and, for most modes,is Padé resummed. The $m$=odd waveform multipoles (up to $\ell=5$) incorporate most of the currently available spin-dependent analytical information. Improving on previous work, we confirm that certain $m=\text{odd}$ modes, e.g. the $(2,1)$, and even the $(3,1)$, may develop a zero (or a minimum) in the amplitude for nearly equal-mass binaries and for several combinations of the individual spins. A remarkable EOB/NR agreement around such zero is found for these modes. The new waveform, and radiation reaction, prompts a new NR-calibration of the spinning sector of the model, done with only $32$ datasets.The maximum $(2,2)$ EOB/NR unfaithfulness $\bar{F}$ with Advanced LIGO noise against the SXS catalog ($\sim 595$ datasets) is always below $0.5\%$ for binaries with total mass $M$ as $10M_\odot\leq M \leq 200M_\odot$, except for a single outlier with $\max{(\bar{F})}\sim 0.85\%$. When $(2,1)$, $(3,3)$ and $(4,4)$ modes are included, one finds an excellent EOB/NR agreement up to $M\sim 120M_\odot$, above which the performance degrades slightly and moves above $3\%$

description: Coherent resonance is the effect of resonant excitation of nonlinear coherent modes in trapped Bose condensates. This novel effect is shown to be feasible for Bose-condensed trapped gases. Conditions for realizing this effect are derived. A method of stabilizing Bose condensates with attractive interactions is advanced. The origin of dynamic critical phenomena is elucidated. Interference effects are studied. The existence of atomic squeezing and multiparticle coherent entanglement is demonstrated. Coherent resonance is a generalization of atomic resonance, involving internal states of an individual atom, to collective states of a multiparticle system.

description: A huge amount of thermal energy is available close to material surfaces in radiative and non-radiative states, which can be useful for matter characterization or for energy devices. One way to harness this near-field energy is to scatter it to the far field. Another way is to bring absorbers close to thermal emitters, and the advent of a full class of novel photonic devices exploiting thermal photons in the near field has been predicted in the last two decades. However, efficient heat-to-electricity conversion of near-field thermal photons, i.e. the seminal building block, could not be achieved experimentally until now. Here, by approaching a micron-sized infrared photovoltaic cell at nanometric distances from a hot surface, we demonstrate conversion efficiency up to 14% leading to unprecedented electrical power density output (7500 W.m-2), orders of magnitude larger than all previous attempts. This proof of principle is achieved by using hot graphite microsphere emitters (~800 K) and indium antimonide cells, whose low bandgap energy matches the emitter infrared spectrum and which are specially designed for the near field. These results pave the way for efficient photoelectric detectors converting thermal photons directly in the near field. They also highlight that near-field thermophotovoltaic converters, which harvest radiative thermal energy in a contactless manner, are now competing with other energy-harvesting devices, such as thermoelectrics, over a large range of heat source temperatures.

description: In an environment where the shareholder litigation rights are assumed to be an increasingly important aspect of corporate governance, we show three reasons why too much of litigation is harmful for organizations. Using firm level Exclusive Forum Provisions adoptions in the US as a proxy for litigation, we show that multi-forum litigation is harmful for organizations. Reduction of such multi-forum litigation using EFP helps firms to lower investment inefficiencies, fraud risks and improve corporate governance evidenced via increased flow of institutional investments.

We study the Multiple Point Principle and its prospects with respect to the Two-Higgs-Doublet model (THDM). Applying the bilinear formalism we show that concise conditions can be given with a classification of different kinds of realizations of this principle. We recover cases discussed in the literature but identify also different realizations of the Multiple Point Principle.

description: In the Randall-Sundrum scenario we investigate the dynamics of a spherically symmetric 3-brane world when matter fields are present in the bulk. To analyze the 5-dimensional Einstein equations we employ a global conformal transformation whose factor characterizes the $Z_2$ symmetric warp. We find a new set of exact dynamical collapse solutions which localize gravity in the vicinity of the brane for a stress-energy tensor of conformal weight -4 and a warp factor that depends only on the coordinate of the fifth dimension. Geometries which describe the dynamics of inhomogeneous dust and generalized dark radiation on the brane are shown to belong to this set. The conditions for singular or globally regular behavior and the static marginally bound limits are discussed for these examples. Also explicitly demonstrated is complete consistency with the effective point of view of a 4-dimensional observer who is confined to the brane and makes the same assumptions about the bulk degrees of freedom.

description: We study the dependence on configuration in momentum space of the primordial 3-point function of density perturbations in several different scenarios: standard slow-roll inflation, curvaton and variable decay models, ghost inflation, models with higher derivative operators and the DBI model of inflation. We define a cosine between the distributions using a measure based on the ability of experiments to distinguish between them. We find that models fall into two broad categories with fairly orthogonal distributions. Models where non-Gaussianity is created at horizon-crossing during inflation and models in which the evolution outside the horizon dominates. In the first case the 3-point function is largest for equilateral triangles, while in the second the dominant contribution to the signal comes from the influence of long wavelength modes on small wavelength ones. We show that, because the distributions in these two cases are so different, translating constraints on parameters of one model to those of another based on the normalization of the 3-point function for equilateral triangles can be very misleading.

Multi-loop investigations of strong interactions at high temperatures

Publisher: name: Universität Bern

description: Matter alters its properties remarkably when confronted with extreme conditions such as temperatures as high as in the early universe. The emergence of the Quark-Gluon Plasma and restoration of electroweak symmetry through phase transitions are but the most prominent phenomena to invigorate studies of gauge theories at finite temperatures. If the temperature is sufficiently high, static observables are effectively described in a reduced dimension by a framework known as Dimensional Reduction. The computer algebraic multi-loop treatment of perturbation theory for finite-temperature theories is at the core of this thesis. It adopts sophisticated tools from zero temperature to decimate typically vast numbers of Feynman integrals with the objective to automate the dimensional reduction. To accomplish this, integration-by-parts identities pertinent to both massless and massive loops at finite temperature are illuminated. Additionally, an inclusion of higher-dimensional operators in these theories is first motivated and then generalised. The developed tools are applied to review the advancements of [1] in chapter 4 and [2] in chapter 5. There, we analyse the dimensionally reduced theories of high-temperature QCD, namely electrostatic and magnetostatic QCD. We inspect three-loop contributions stemming from non-static modes to the magnetostatic coupling in dimensionally reduced hot Yang-Mills theory [1]. By including dimension-six operators the result is found to be infrared finite and influenced by all scales in the QCD hierarchy. Incorporating also electrostatic effects indicates a non-perturbative ultrasoft gauge coupling at O(as^3/2). Based on its relevance in cosmology, we determine another low-energy coefficient in electrostatic QCD, the Debye mass. By including effects from massive fermions up to two loops [2], energy ranges of (1 GeV–10 TeV) are scanned to show the smooth crossing of quark mass thresholds.

The sPlot tool applies in the context of a Likelihood fit which is performed on the data sample to determine the yields of the various sources.

The affective regimes of digital discourse: A multimodal, multilingual study of language, media and gender ideologies

description: Digial discourse is frequently framed in a technologically deterministic way that leads to a discourse of “moral panic” where digital language and digital media are held responsible for a variety of societal ills (e.g. Thurlow 2006, 2007, 2014; Tagliamonte & Denis, 2008; Vickery, 2017). Very often, these discourses of moral panic target young people, and girls in particular. As Thurlow et al. (2019, p.14) argue, digital discourse is often framed around assumptions related to gender and age, but also related to race and class. This can be seen for example in two recent news media examples taken from the BBC (UK) and 20 Minutes (France). The first is a lead from a BBC news story and focuses on “young people”: A social-media "trend" is leaving young people with genuine mental health problems "facing unfair and distressing criticism", private-school leaders say. The second is a headline from the French news website 20 Mintutes and targets “girls”: Les filles qui passent du temps sur les réseaux sociaux sont plus sujettes à la depression (girls who spend time on social media are more likely to be depressed). I situate the current thesis against the backdrop of such ideologically-charged news discourses. I am particularly concerned with metadiscursive comments related to media ideologies (Gershon, 2010c), or people’s beliefs about the different media they use, these media effects on users, as well as the ways in which users’ beliefs are shaped by deep-seated social and cultural ideologies such as those concerning gender. By examining the “cultural discourses” (i.e. public discourses) and “social meanings” (i.e. embedded practices) of digital media from a multimodal and a multilingual perspective, my research offers new perspectives into the field of digital discourse studies (e.g. Thurlow, 2018). In order to critically examine digital practices and the ideologies attached to them, I use a combination of approaches that fall into the broader framework of “multimodal critical discourse analysis” (cf. Machin, 2013). My thesis is organized around five chapters that investigate examples from the press (i.e. cultural discourses) and from actual users (i.e. social meanings) in order to reveal the interplay between language ideologies, media ideologies, and gender ideologies. In the end, I show the “affective” connection between the news media’s ideologies and the audience’s responses to the media’s ideologies. As Grossberg (1992, p.82-83) phrases it, “affect is the missing term in an adequate understanding of ideology”. Ultimately, I discuss the nuance in the moral panic discourses revealed in the press and among users, as users themselves also challenge what they hear and see in the news. Although many discourses are imbued with a sentiment of fear and anxiety, the “affective regimes” (cf. Wee, 2016) of digital discourse are more subtle.
A Holographic Perspective on the Axion Quality Problem

description: The axion provides a compelling solution to the strong CP problem as well as a candidate for the dark matter of the universe. However, the axion solution relies on the spontaneous breaking of a global $U(1)_{PQ}$ symmetry, which is also explicitly violated by quantum gravity. To preserve the axion solution, gravitational violations of the $U(1)_{PQ}$ symmetry must be suppressed to sufficiently high order. We present a simple, geometric solution of the axion quality problem by modelling the axion with a bulk complex scalar field in a slice of AdS$_5$, where the $U(1)_{PQ}$ symmetry is spontaneously broken in the bulk but explicitly broken on the UV brane. By localising the axion field towards the IR brane, gravitational violations of the PQ symmetry on the UV brane are sufficiently sequestered. This geometric solution is holographically dual to 4D strong dynamics where the global $U(1)_{PQ}$ is an accidental symmetry to sufficiently high order.

description: With a view to eliminate an important misconception in some recent publications, we give a brief review of the notion of a pseudo-Hermitian operator, outline pseudo-Hermitian quantum mechanics, and discuss its basic difference with the indefinite-metric quantum mechanics. In particular, we show that the answer to the question posed in the title is a definite No.

A note on non-thermodynamical applications of non-extensive statistics

description: It is pointed out that the constraint to be imposed to the maximization of the entropy for processes outside the class of thermodynamical systems, is generally not well defined. In fact, any probability distribution can be derived from Jaynes's principle with a suitable choice of the constraint. In the case of Tsallis's non-extensive formalism, this implies that it is not possible to establish any connection between specific non-thermodynamical processes and non-extensive mechanisms and, in particular, to assign any unambiguous non-extensivity index q to those processes.

description: The adverse effects of intake nitrite upon human health are well known. However, eating fruits and vegetables is one of the main pathways to absorb nitrite because of nitrogen assimilation in plants. This study demonstrated that during storage of tomato fruit, the production of endogenous hydrogen (H2) was decreased, in parallel with nitrite accumulation and the senescence rate. Furthermore, exogenously applied H2 could delay the decreased fruit H2 production and senescence, but importantly, nitrite accumulation was blocked. Consistently, the activities and transcripts of nitrate reductase (NR; catalyzing the synthesis of nitrite) and nitrite reductase (NiR; responsible for the reduction of nitrite to ammonium), were either inhibited or increased, respectively, by 0.585 mM H2. Decreased or increased nitrite synthesis was observed when tungstate (an inhibitor of NR) or 2,6-dichloroindophenol sodium salt (a putative inhibitor of H2 synthesis) were applied separately. Time-course analysis revealed that the decrease in vitamin C, a well-known nitrite scavenger, was blocked by H2. Overall, this study strongly revealed that nitrite accumulation during storage of tomato fruit was prevented by H2. This study describes potential applications for H2 in agriculture and food industry, especially in the preservation of fruit and vegetable products.

Order, algebra, and structure: lattice-ordered groups and beyond

Publisher: name: Universität Bern

Subjects: 510 Mathematics

description: This thesis describes and examines some remarkable relationships existing between seemingly quite different properties (algebraic, order-theoretic, and structural) of ordered groups. On the one hand, it revisits the foundational aspects of the structure theory of lattice-ordered groups, contributing a novel systematization of its relationship with the theory of orderable groups. One of the main contributions in this direction is a connection between validity in varieties of lattice-ordered groups, and orders on groups; a framework is also provided that allows for a systematic account of the relationship between orders and preorders on groups, and the structure theory of lattice-ordered groups. On the other hand, it branches off in new directions, probing the frontiers of several different areas of current research. More specifically, one of the main goals of this thesis is to suitably extend results that are proper to the theory of lattice-ordered groups to the realm of more general, related algebraic structures; namely, distributive lattice-ordered monoids and residuated lattices. The theory of lattice-ordered groups provides themain source of inspiration for this thesis’ contributions on these topics.

description: Zwischen 1789 und 1859 erschienen tausende Texte des Wissenschaftlers und Forschungsreisenden Alexander von Humboldt in Zeitungen, Zeitschriften, sonstigen periodischen Publikationsorganen oder als Beiträge zu Büchern anderer Autoren. Diese ,unselbständigen‘ Schriften entstanden in diversen Formen und zahlreichen Disziplinen, wurden in mehr als ein Dutzend Sprachen übersetzt und auf allen Kontinenten veröffentlicht. Die vorliegende Dissertation unternimmt den Versuch, ein solch heterogenes Corpus zu überblicken und systematisch zu beschreiben – chronologisch, sprachlich, geographisch, medial und disziplinär. Dazu wendet sie eine Kombination qualitativer und quantitativer Methoden an und fasst sie unter dem Begriff Layered Reading zusammen: Das Untersuchungscorpus wird in fünf layers – Schichten – analysiert, zuerst die Produktivität und Publizität Humboldts, dann die Vielsprachigkeit der Schriften, die Globalität, die Multimedialität und schließlich die Multi-, Inter- und Transdisziplinarität der Schriften. Für die Beschreibung und Analyse der Schichten werden statistische und infographische Werkzeuge aus dem Bereich der Digital Humanities und der quantitativen Literaturwissenschaft angewandt und weiterentwickelt. Von Kapitel zu Kapitel lässt sich das Corpus schichtweise infographisch entdecken, wechselnd zwischen einer Makro- und Mikroperspektive – zwischen einem distant, middle distant und close reading. Die Arbeit diskutiert kritisch, wie wir aus Visualisierungen lesen können und welche weiterführenden Forschungsfragen sie aufdecken. Dabei wird auch zur Diskussion darüber beigetragen, wo die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten und die Grenzen quantitativer Methoden für Fragestellungen der Geisteswissenschaften liegen.
