description: Privatising electricity seems an attractive way of reducing foreign public debt but requires raising tariffs and creating a credible system of price regulation, currently lacking in many East European countries. The ultimate benefits of proper regulation and eventual privatisation result from upsetting the present unsatisfactory equilibrium with underpricing and underinvestment, and should improve efficiency in generation. There are difficult choices to make over the form of regulation, the design of dispute resolution procedures, and whether to separate generation from transmission, few of which are urgent.
Right-Handed Vector V and Axial A Couplings in Weak Interactions
Creators: name: Sobkow, Wieslaw
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper a scenario admitting the participation of right-handed vector V and axial A couplings with the conservation of the left-handed standard (V, A) couplings is considered. The research is based on the muon capture by proton. We consider muon capture at the level of the Fermi theory (four-fermion point interaction). Neutrinos are assumed to be massive and to be Dirac fermions. We propose neutrino observables, it means transverse components of the neutrino polarization, both T-odd and T-even. That would be a unique test verifying the participation of the right-handed (V, A) couplings in muon capture. The effects of the transverse neutrino polarization connected with the right-handed (V, A) couplings may be of the order of 7%. Our considerations are model-independent. We give the lower bound of 305 GeV on the mass of the right-handed gauge boson. This limit is compatible with the current bounds on the mass of the right-handed vector boson received from the weak interaction processes at low energy.

Optimal Tax Rates and Tax Design during Systemic Reform

Subjects: Financial Economics

description: Budgets in Eastern Europe are under strain as taxes are reformed and receipts fall. Should existing levels of expenditure be maintained or should personal taxes be cut at the expense of redistributive expenditures? The paper asks how optimal tax rates might respond to a transition in which the government becomes less averse to inequality, but the inequality in skills increases. These lead to roughly offsetting changes, and are less important than the fall in enterprise revenue and the decline in the efficiency of personal taxation, both of which cause a sharp fall in optimal transfers. Tax, design consists in balancing the differing inefficiencies of incompleteness in indirect tax coverage against evasion-prone direct taxes.

A possible advantage of telescopes with a non-circular pupil

description: Most telescope designs have a circular-shape aperture. We demonstrate that telescopes with an elongated pupil have better contrast, at lower separations, between a bright central star and a faint companion. We simulate images for an elongated-pupil telescope and for a circular-pupil telescope of equal aperture area and integration time, investigating specifically what is the maximal contrast for finding faint companions around bright stars as a function of angular separation. We show that this design gives better contrast at lower separation from a bright star. This is shown for diffraction-limited (for perfect and imperfect optics) and seeing-limited speckle images, assuming equal aperture area and observing time. We also show the results are robust to errors in measurement of the point spread function. To compensate for the wider point spread function of the short axis, images should be taken at different rotation angles, either by rotating the telescope around the optical axis or by allowing a stationary mirror array to scan different parallactic angles with time. Images taken at different rotation angles are added using the proper image coaddition algorithms developed by Zackay & Ofek. The final image has the same contrast in all angles, rather than in specific areas of diffraction nulls. We obtained speckle observations with a small, ground based elongated-aperture telescope and show the results are consistent with simulations.

description: Due to the simplicity and high efficiency, composited finite element method(CFEM) based virtual cutting attracted much attention in the field of virtual surgery in recent years. Even great progress has been made in volumetric cutting of deformable bodies, there are still several open problems restricting its applications in practical surgical simulator. First among them is cutting fracture modelling. Recent methods would produce cutting surface immediately after an intersection between the cutting plane and the object. But in real cutting, biological tissue would first deform under the external force induced by scalpel and then fracture occurs when the stress exceeds a threshold. Secondly, it's computation-intensive to reconstruct cutting surface highly consistent with the scalpel trajectory, since reconstructed cutting surface in CFEM-based virtual cutting simulation is grid-dependent and the accuracy of cutting surface is proportional to the grid resolution. This paper propose a virtual cutting method based on CFEM which can effectively simulate cutting fracture in a biomechanically and visually plausible way and generate cutting surface which is consistent with the scalpel trajectory with a low resolution finite element grid. We model this realistic cutting as a deformation-fracture repeating process. In deformation stage, the object will deform along with the scalpel motion, while in the fracture stage cutting happens and a cutting surface will be generated from the scalpel trajectory. A delayed fracturing criteria is proposed to determine when and how the cutting fracture occurs and an influence domain adaptation method is employed to generate accurate cutting surface in both procedures of deformation and fracture. Experiments show that our method can realistically simulate volumetric cutting of deformable bodies and efficiently generate accurate cutting surface thus facilitating interactive applications.

description: We study extreme points of the set of finite-outcome positive-operator-valued measures (POVMs) on finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and particularly the possible ranks of the effects of an extreme POVM. We give results discussing ways of deducing new rank combinations of extreme POVMs from rank combinations of known extreme POVMs and, using these results, show ways to characterize rank combinations of extreme POVMs in low dimensions. We show that, when a rank combination together with a given dimension of the Hilbert space solve a particular packing problem, there is an extreme POVM on the Hilbert space with the given ranks. This geometric method is particularly effective for constructing extreme POVMs with desired rank combinations.

description: We study the production characteristics of 557 pairs of charmed hadrons produced in $π^{-}-Cu$\ interactions at 230~GeV/c using a momentum estimator for charmed hadrons with missing decay products. We find, the mean value of the transverse momentum squared of the charmed pairs is $=(1.98\pm 0.11\pm 0.09)\;$ GeV$^2$/c$^2$, the mean rapidity difference is $=0.54\pm 0.02\pm 0.24$, and the mean effective mass is $=(4.45\pm 0.03\pm 0.13)\;$ GeV/c$^2$. Comparing these results with the next-to-leading order QCD predictions we find an agreement for the \yd\ and \mef, whilst the measured mean value of \pts\ is significantly larger than the predicted value.

description: We present a novel reinforcement learning-based natural media painting algorithm. Our goal is to reproduce a reference image using brush strokes and we encode the objective through observations. Our formulation takes into account that the distribution of the reward in the action space is sparse and training a reinforcement learning algorithm from scratch can be difficult. We present an approach that combines self-supervised learning and reinforcement learning to effectively transfer negative samples into positive ones and change the reward distribution. We demonstrate the benefits of our painting agent to reproduce reference images with brush strokes. The training phase takes about one hour and the runtime algorithm takes about 30 seconds on a GTX1080 GPU reproducing a 1000x800 image with 20,000 strokes.

description: We develop a strain gradient plasticity formulation for composite materials with spatially varying volume fractions to characterize size effects in functionally graded materials (FGMs). The model is grounded on the mechanism-based strain gradient plasticity theory and effective properties are determined by means of a linear homogenization scheme. Several paradigmatic boundary value problems are numerically investigated to gain insight into the strengthening effects associated with plastic strain gradients and geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs). The analysis of bending in micro-size functionally graded foils shows a notably stiffer response with diminishing thickness. Micro-hardness measurements from indentation reveal a significant increase with decreasing indenter size. And large dislocation densities in the vicinity of the crack substantially elevate stresses in cracked FGM components. We comprehensively assess the influence of the length scale parameter and material gradation profile to accurately characterize the micro-scale response and identify regimes of GNDs relevance in FGMs.

description: The trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are small Solar System bodies at large distances from the Sun. As such, their physical properties are difficult to measure. Accurate determination of their physical parameters is essential to model and theorize the actual composition and distribution of the population, and to improve our understanding of the formation and evolution of the Solar System. The objective of this work is to construct phase curves in two filters, $V$ and $R$, of a large TNO sample obtaining absolute magnitudes ($H$) and phase coefficients ($β$), and study possible relations between them and other physical parameters (orbital elements, sizes, and albedos). We used our own data, together with data from the literature, to create the phase curves assuming an overall linear trend. We obtained new magnitudes for 35 TNOs, 27 in the V filter and 35 in the R filter. These magnitudes, together with data from the literature, allowed us to obtain absolutes magnitudes, 114 in the V filter and 113 in the R filter, of which 106 have both. From the search for correlations we found a strong anticorrelation between $H_V-H_R$ and $Δβ=β_V-β_R$, which is probably more related to surface structure than to composition or size of the objects.

description: In the colour string model the impact of string percolation on multiplicities, their long-range correlations and average transverse momentum is studied. The multiplicities are shown to be damped by a simple factor which follows from the percolation theory. A clear signature of the phase transition is found to be a behaviour of the correlations for intensive observables, such as average transverse momentum, which can be detected in the high-energy heavy ion collisions.

description: We propose a novel method to reconstruct fluid's volume movement and surface details from just a monocular video for the first time. Although many monocular video-based reconstruction methods have been developed, the reconstructed results are merely one layer of geometry surface and lack physically correct volume particles' attribute and movement. To reconstruct 3D fluid volume, we define two kinds of particles, the target particles and the fluid particles. The target particles are extracted from the height field of water surface which is recovered by Shape from Shading (SFS) method. The fluid particles represent the discrete form of the 3D fluid volume and conform to the flow hydrodynamic properties. The target particles are used to guide the physical simulation of fluid particles based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) model. To formulate this guidance, a new external force scheme is designed based on distance and relative motion between target particles and fluid particles. Additionally, in order to integrate and maintain geometric and physical features simultaneously, we adopt a two-scale decomposition strategy for the height field, and only apply the low frequency coarse-scale component to estimate the volumetric motion of liquid, while serve high frequency fine-scale component as noise to preserve fluid surface details in the stage of rendering. Our experimental results compare favorably to the state-of-the-art in terms of global fluid volume motion features and fluid surface details and demonstrate our approach can achieve desirable and pleasing effects.

description: The supercurrent components of the N=1, D=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory in the Wess-Zumino gauge are coupled to the components of a background supergravitation field in the ``new minimal'' representation, in order to describe the various conservation laws in a functional way through the Ward identities for the diffeomorphisms and for the local supersymmetry, Lorentz and R-transformations. We also incorporate in the same functional formalism the supertrace identities, which leads however to a slight modification of the new minimal representation for supergravity, thus leading to a conformal version of it. The most general classical action obeying all the symmetry constraints is constructed.

description: Majorana mode based topological qubits are potentially subject to diabatic errors that in principle can limit the utility of topological quantum computation. Using a combination of analytical and numerical methods we study the diabatic errors in Majorana-based topological Y-junction that are coupled to a Bosonic bath in the Markovian approximation. From the study we find analytically that in the absence of a bath, the error rate can be made exponentially small in the braiding time only for completely smooth pulse shapes. Thus, pristine topological systems can reach exponentially small errors even for finite braid times. The presence of a dominantly dissipative Markovian bath is found to eliminate this exponential scaling of error to a power-law scaling as $T^{-1}$ with $T$ being the braiding time. However, the inclusion of relaxation imroves this scaling slightly to go as $T^{-2}$. Thus, coupling of topological systems to Bosonic baths can lead to powerlaw in braiding time diabatic errors that might limit the speed of topologically protected operations.

The density dependence of the relative X-ray yields for the muonic hydrogen lines (K_alpha, K_beta, K_gamma) has been measured at densities between 0.00115 and 0.97 of liquid hydrogen density. In this density region collisional processes dominate the cascade down to low energy levels. A comparison with recent calculations is given in order to demonstrate the influence of Coulomb deexcitation.

description: Feature curves on 3D shapes provide a high dimensional representation of the geometry and reveal their underlying structure. In this paper, we present an automatic approach for extracting complete feature curve networks from 3D models, as well as generating a high-quality patch layout. Starting from an initial collection of noisy and fragmented feature curves, we first filter non-salient or noisy feature curves by utilizing a quadric surface fitting technique. We then handle the curve intersections and curve missing by conducting a feature extension step to form a closed feature curve network. Finally, we generate a patch layout to reveal a highly structured representation of the input surfaces. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm is robust for extracting complete feature curve networks from complex input meshes and achieves superior quality patch layouts compared with the state-of-the-art approaches.

description: Extracting human body skeletons from consecutive surfaces is an important research topic in the fields of computer graphics and human computer interaction, especially in posture estimation and skeleton animation. Current approaches mainly suffer from following problems: insufficient time and space continuity, not robust to background, ambient noise, etc. Our approach is to improve against these shortcomings. This paper proposes a 3D human body skeleton extraction method from consecutive meshes. We extract the consistent skeletons from consecutive surfaces based on shape segmentation and construct skeleton sequences, then we use the continuous frame skeleton point optimization model we proposed to optimize the skeleton sequences, generating the final skeleton point sequences which are more accurate. Finally, we verify that our method can obtain more complete and accurate skeletons compared to other methods through many experiments.

Basal Ganglia Dynamics in Structure Learning

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

description:  We frequently encounter new challenges that necessitate action to achieve positive  outcomes. To navigate these challenges, our biological brains must utilize environmental  feedback from past experiences, combined with knowledge of patterns and structures in  the environment, to guide the selection of the most rewarding actions. Central to this  process is the basal ganglia, which is crucial for facilitating actions in response to  dopaminergic signaling [1] [2] [3]; however, the precise relationships between synaptic  plasticity, large-scale network dynamics, and reinforcement learning computations are  not fully understood. Additionally, it remains unclear how this system interacts with  other brain regions, particularly the hippocampus, which may provide information  regarding environmental structure [4] [5] [6] [7].  
In this dissertation, I investigate the neural mechanisms underlying reinforcement  learning in the basal ganglia and its interaction with structure learning systems. First, I  introduce and demonstrate the capabilities of CBGTPy, a framework designed to  simulate biologically realistic neural dynamics and plasticity within the cortico-basal  ganglia-thalamic (CBGT) system. This flexible framework allows researchers to explore  the system’s internal dynamics at multiple scales across various simulated behavioral  tasks. Second, I examine the computational value of hippocampal representations in  reinforcement learning by employing a model of place cells derived from successor  representation [8]. These place cells, along with alternative handcrafted representations,  are used to bias cortical inputs within the CBGTPy network throughout its  performance of an example structured task [9].  
The combined model exhibits enhanced flexibility and improved performance in  structured reinforcement learning tasks, mirroring observed human behaviors in similar  environments. The extent of this facilitation, however, heavily depends on the  properties of the supplied place cells. These findings suggest that hippocampal  computations are well-suited for learning task structures, though the current CBGTPy  model has limited capacity to fully leverage the information present in biological place  cells. This research underscores the importance of multi-region interactions in the  brain’s ability to solve structured tasks, offering significant insights into the neural basis  of decision-making and learning.

description: The renormalization of chiral perturbation theory is carried out to next-to-next-to-leading order in the meson sector. We calculate the divergent part of the generating functional of Green functions of quark currents to O(p^6) for chiral SU(n), involving one- and two-loop diagrams. The renormalization group equations for the renormalized low-energy constants of O(p^6) are derived. We compare our results with previous two-loop calculations in chiral perturbation theory.

description: Modern 3D Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) systems use mainly two types of geometric models. Classically, objects are defined by a Boundary Representation (B-Rep), where only the objects' surfaces with their corresponding edges and nodes are stored. One disadvantage concerning a numerical simulation is that B-Rep models are not necessarily watertight. These 'dirty geometries' cause major difficulties in computational analysis because even basic geometric operations such as point-in-membership tests fail, not to mention meshing as required by classical boundary conforming finite element methods. Alternatively, objects may be represented by Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG), which is strongly related to Procedural Modeling (PM). In this context, the model is created using Boolean operations on primitives. The modeling process is then either stored as a sequence (PM), or as a construction tree (CSG). In contrast to B-Rep models, CSG models are intrinsically water-tight. To run a finite element simulation on a water-tight CSG model, two alternatives are possible: (i) it can either be converted to a B-Rep-model to obtain a finite element mesh or (ii) its implicit description can be used directly by applying an embedded domain approach, like the Finite Cell Method (FCM). In this contribution, we present a design-through analysis methodology using CSG and FCM. A crucial point in FCM is a fast and reliable point-in-membership test which can be directly derived from the CSG model. We present the outline of the modeling approach, the realization of the point-in-membership test as a sequence of CSG-operations, and discuss advantages and limitations on complex models of relevance in mechanical engineering.

description: We report the first direct observation of excited state muon transfer in hydrogen/deuterium mixtures by direct measurement of q_1s, the probability that a mu-p atom, which is initially formed in an excited state, reaches the 1s ground state. The dependence of q_1s on deuterium concentration c_d was measured for two different densities at cryogenic temperatures using charge coupled devices (CCDs) to detect the muonic X rays. First results based on the analysis of the K_alpha-lines of the two isotopes are presented.

description: Nuclear shadowing is observed in the per-nucleon cross-sections of positive muons on carbon, calcium and lead as compared to deuterium. The data were taken by Fermilab experiment E665 using inelastically scattered muons of mean incident momentum 470 GeV/c. Cross-section ratios are presented in the kinematic region 0.0001 < XBj <0.56 and 0.1 < Q**2 < 80 GeVc. The data are consistent with no significant nu or Q**2 dependence at fixed XBj. As XBj decreases, the size of the shadowing effect, as well as its A dependence, are found to approach the corresponding measurements in photoproduction.

Higher Spin Field Equation in a Virtual Black Hole Metric

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In a quantum theory of gravity, fluctuations about the vacuum may be considered as Planck scale virtual black holes appearing and annihilating in pairs. Incident fields scattering from such fluctuations would lose quantum coherence. In a recent paper (hep-th/9705147), Hawking and Ross obtained an estimate for the magnitude of this loss in the case of a scalar field. Their calculation exploited the separability of the conformally invariant scalar wave equation in the electrovac C metric background, which is justified as a sufficiently good description of a virtual black hole pair in the limit considered. In anticipation of extending this result, the Teukolsky equations for incident fields of higher spin are separated on the vacuum C metric background and solved in the same limit. With the exception of spin 2 fields, these equations are shown in addition to be valid on the electrovac C metric background. The angular solutions are found to reduce to the spin- weighted spherical harmonics, and the radial solutions are found to approach hypergeometrics close to the horizons. By defining appropriate scattering boundary conditions, these solutions are then used to estimate the transmission and reflection coefficients for an incident field of spin s. The transmission coefficient is required in order to estimate the loss of quantum coherence of an incident field through scattering off virtual black holes.

Limits on $\boldmath n {\bar n}$ oscillations from nuclear stability

description: The relationship between the lower limit on the nuclear stability lifetime as derived from the non disappearance of `stable` nuclei ($T_{d}~\gtrsim~5.4~\times~10^{31}$ yr), and the lower limit thus implied on the oscillation time $(τ_{n \bar n})$ of a possibly underlying neutron-antineutron oscillation process, is clarified by studying the time evolution of the nuclear decay within a simple model which respects unitarity. The order-of-magnitude result $τ_{n \bar n} \approx 2 (T_{d}/Γ_{\bar n})^{1/2} > 2 \times 10^{8}$ sec, where $Γ_{\bar n}$ is a typical $\bar n$ nuclear annihilation width, agrees as expected with the limit on $τ_{n \bar n}$ established by several detailed nuclear physics calculations, but sharply disagreeing by 15 orders of magnitude with a claim published recently in Phys. Rev. CRAP.
