Measurement of the Photon Structure Function at High Q^2 at LEP
Creators: name: L3 Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The structure functions of real and virtual photons are derived from cross section measurements of the reaction e^+e^ -> e^+e^- + hadrons at LEP. The reaction is studied at \sqrt{s} ~ 91 GeV with the L3 detector. One of the final state electrons is detected at a large angle relative to the beam direction, leading to Q^2 values between 40 GeV^2 and 500 GeV^2. The other final state electron is either undetected or it is detected at a four-momentum transfer squared P^2 between 1 GeV^2 and 8 GeV^2. These measurements are compared with predictions of the Quark Parton Model and other QCD based models.
The German statistical category "migration background"

description: The term “migration background” is commonly used in Germany today, but this neologism is only 20 years old. As an official category, it is even much younger. There has been only little research concerning the new population category, which emerged around the turn of the millennium. Thus, the question how the “migration background” could become the central category describing migration related diversity in Germany is not answered yet. This article fills this gap by exploring the context of the emergence of the “migration background” including the history of ethnic categories in German official statistics. It describes the actual definition of a “migration background” which became an official category in 2007 when the German Federal Statistical Office started publishing data regarding “the population with a migration background” based on the microcensus, a 1% household survey with mandatory participation. The central questions are: how national membership is imagined, how is it inscribed in definitions, and what adaptions had to be made over time? To answer these questions, different sources as questionnaires, publications of results of the microcensus and national reports on children and youth are analysed. Using interpretative methods, it is shown how a new taxonomy of the population in Germany was created, how it was influenced by international and national educational research, and to which extent it reshaped the perspectives on newcomers and natives. It is shown that the new category is tightly bound to citizenship and summarizes a number of older ethnic categories, but excludes also immigrated Germans who immigrated shortly after Second World War and from the former German Democratic Republic. Therefore, the label “migration background” is misleading because inherited citizenship and ancestry is in the centre of the definition rather than migration experience.

The role of surface quenching of the singlet delta molecule in a capacitively coupled oxygen discharge
Creators: name: Proto, Andrea

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: We use the one-dimensional object-oriented particle-in-cell Monte Carlo collision code oopd1 to explore the influence of the surface quenching of the singlet delta metastable molecule O$_2$(a$^1Δ_{\rm g}$) on the electron heating mechanism, and the electron energy probability function (EEPF), in a single frequency capacitively coupled oxygen discharge. When operating at low pressure (10 mTorr) varying the surface quenching coefficient in the range 0.00001 -- 0.1 has no influence on the electron heating mechanism and electron heating is dominated by drift-ambipolar (DA) heating in the plasma bulk and electron cooling is observed in the sheath regions. As the pressure is increased to 25 mTorr the electron heating becomes a combination of DA-mode and $α-$mode heating, and the role of the DA-mode decreases with decreasing surface quenching coefficient. At 50 mTorr electron heating in the sheath region dominates. However, for the highest quenching coefficient there is some contribution from the DA-mode in the plasma bulk, but this contribution decreases to almost zero and pure $α-$mode electron heating is observed for a surface quenching coefficient of 0.001 or smaller.

The Process of Negotiating Settlements at FERC

negotiated settlement

description: Interstate gas pipelines and their customers presently settle about 90% of the rate cases set for hearing before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). In recent years, the median time for negotiating settlements and having them approved is about 11 months, compared to several years to complete litigated hearings. This paper explores how this is achieved. FERC has a tight schedule for the hearing process. In contrast to other jurisdictions, FERC Trial Staff play an active role in facilitating negotiation and settlement. They propose a first settlement offer 3 months after a pipeline files for a tariff rate increase. An analysis of the 9 cases over the last two years where full and uncontested settlement was reached shows that discussions led by Trial Staff led to agreement in principle in a median time of 2 ½ months after this first offer, just before testimony would otherwise need to have been filed. It took a further 2 ½ months for the parties to finalise the wording of the settlement and to obtain the judge’s certification that it was uncontested, and 3 months for FERC formally to approve it. FERC’s settlement process has worked successfully and essentially unchanged for over 35 years. It suggests a more active role for the regulatory body than was previously apparent.

description: A circuit architecture is proposed and implemented for a dynamical network composed of a type of hybrid chaotic oscillator based on Unstable Dissipative Systems (UDS). The circuit architecture allows selecting a network topology with its link attributes and to study, experimentally, the practical synchronous collective behavior phenomena. Additionally, based on the theory of dynamical networks, a mathematical model of the circuit was described, taking into account the natural tolerance of the electronic components. The network is analyzed both numerically and experimentally according to the parameters mismatch between nodes.
Tests for Convergence Clubs

Subjects: Multivariate stationarity

regional convergence

description: In many applications common in testing for convergence the number of cross-sectional units is large and the number of time periods are few. In these situations tests which are founded upon an omnibus null hypothesis are characterised by a number of problems. In this paper we consider a broad class of tests of convergence based on multivariate time series and panel data methodologies, and track a gradual progression away from tests based on an omnibus null, to sequential tests and tests that are founded upon multiple pairwise comparisons. In a previous study Corrado, Martin and Weeks (2005) test for regional convergence across the European Union allowing for an endogenous selection of regional clusters using a multivariate test for stationarity. Given that the time series are relatively short, there are potential problems in basing inference on asymptotic results for stationarity tests. To circumvent this problem we bootstrap the stationarity test and explore the robustness of the cluster outcomes. In general our results show that the size distortion which a icts the asymptotic tests, and resulting in a bias towards nding less convergence, is resolved when we apply the bootstrap generated critical values. To interpret the composition of the resulting convergence clusters, the latter are tested against a variety of possible groupings suggested by recent theories and hypotheses of regional growth and convergence.
title: “The South Will Rise Again, Russia Is Our Friend”: The Russian Propaganda Campaign (2015-2017) and the Alt-Right Movement in the US

description: This research explored the relationship between Russian propaganda and the alt-right movement in the United States through the lens of identity, factors in identity conflict, and the role of identity in propaganda. By examining five exemplars of alt-right websites and comparing them to the 3507 Facebook advertisements identified as Russian-sponsored propaganda, propagated in the US between 2015 and 2017, this thesis investigated the similarities and differences between the discourse of the two groups of data. An examination of the alt-right revealed they used both racial (white/nonwhite) and ideological (conservative/liberal) markers to identify in- and outgroup members through four main tenets of their collective axiology: pro-white, anti-nonwhite, anti-alternate ideology, and pro-traditional values. Investigating the body of Russian propaganda Facebook ads revealed that 529 ads pushed these same tenets of collective axiology. This research examined the use of stereotypes and favorable comparison to describe social boundaries between racial and ideological groups; the role of moral duality and dehumanization in strengthening those boundaries; and the use of relative deprivation and outgroup threat to amplify the messaging. This comparison demonstrated that Russian propaganda used the same or similar verbiage, stereotypes and moral duality to push analogous pro-white, anti-nonwhite and anti-alternate ideological messaging. Both groups used negative stereotypes and moral duality to show that outgroup members, including nonwhite people and those holding liberal ideology, were not “real” Americans. The major difference between the groups was in the object of their anti-nonwhite sentiment: the alt-right was staunchly anti-Semitic, and the Russian propaganda focused on inciting ire against Muslim and Hispanic immigrants.

description: Studies of compensating discrimination (known in the U.S. as affirmative action) have not accounted for the role of envy. Yet envy affects utility. I consider the compensatingdiscrimination policies that individuals acknowledging envy would choose when behind a veil of ignorance. The institutional background for my study is India, where low castes have been provided with preferential access to public education and reserved public sector jobs. Although the Indian case is background, the conclusions apply more generally. I define envy as occurring when people with the same abilities have different incomes because of unequal education and employment opportunities. This is the case when, because of adverse discrimination, low-caste people are denied access to education and public-sector jobs, and also when, because of compensating discrimination, it is high-caste people who are correspondingly denied equal access. A benchmark case with neither adverse nor discriminatory discrimination is efficient and equitable (envy-free). Adverse and compensating discrimination both compromise efficiency and fairness. I derive the conditions that determine attitudes of a population behind the veil of ignorance to compensatingdiscrimination policies.

description: How important are national macroeconomic indicators for people’s satisfaction with democracy? This paper empirically explores the link from macroeconomic variables to support for established democratic systems. We combine country-level data on growth, inflation, and unemployment from the OECD with survey data from the Eurobarometer for nineWestern European countries for the period 1976-2001. We regress individual satisfaction with democracy on macroeconomic variables and individual controls. Our regressions include country-specific time trends as well as fixed effects for countries and surveyyears. Pooling observations from nine countries, we find that growth (inflation and unemployment) is positively (negatively) correlated with satisfaction with democracy. The effect goes beyond what can be explained by individual characteristics and is non-negligible if interpreted in light of the recent economic crisis. Our findings are robust to alternative specifications using logit and ordered logit models.

Efficient Characterization of Hidden Processor Memory Hierarchies

Subjects: subject: Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing (cs.DC)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: A processor's memory hierarchy has a major impact on the performance of running code. However, computing platforms, where the actual hardware characteristics are hidden from both the end user and the tools that mediate execution, such as a compiler, a JIT and a runtime system, are used more and more, for example, performing large scale computation in cloud and cluster. Even worse, in such environments, a single computation may use a collection of processors with dissimilar characteristics. Ignorance of the performance-critical parameters of the underlying system makes it difficult to improve performance by optimizing the code or adjusting runtime-system behaviors; it also makes application performance harder to understand. To address this problem, we have developed a suite of portable tools that can efficiently derive many of the parameters of processor memory hierarchies, such as levels, effective capacity and latency of caches and TLBs, in a matter of seconds. The tools use a series of carefully considered experiments to produce and analyze cache response curves automatically. The tools are inexpensive enough to be used in a variety of contexts that may include install time, compile time or runtime adaption, or performance understanding tools.

description: The Earth's climate is changing and the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) is recognised as the principal cause. To meet legally binding targets, UK GHG emissions need to be cut by at least 80% of the 1990 levels by 2050. With an increase in future fossil fuel use, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the only method of meeting these targets. Some key challenges face the deployment of CCS including cost, uncertainty of CCS deployment, the risks of long-term CO2 storage, public communication and scale. Research at the University of Cambridge is resolving these issues and assisting the deployment of CCS technology. The right regulatory framework also needs to be set so that the technology is commercially deployed. The current UK policy framework for CCS is outlined in this document and the immediate barriers to deployment are highlighted. The ongoing CCS research taking place primarily at the University of Cambridge is described. There are many steps that need to be taken if CCS deployment is to ultimately succeed; this document attempts to highlight these steps and address them.

description: We calculate the total cost of building Nord Stream and compare its levelised unit transportation cost with the existing options to transport Russian gas to western Europe. We find that the unit cost of shipping through Nord Stream is clearly lower than using the Ukrainian route and is only slightly above shipping through the Yamal-Europe pipeline. Using a large-scale gas simulation model we find a positive economic value for Nord Stream under various scenarios of demand for Russian gas in Europe. We disaggregate the value of Nord Stream into project economics (cost advantage), strategic value (impact on Ukraine’s transit fee) and security of supply value (insurance against disruption of the Ukrainian transit corridor). The economic fundamentals account for the bulk of Nord Stream’s positive value in all our scenarios.

description: The long-term relationship between the prices of natural gas in the United Kingdom and oil-indexed natural gas in the North West European market is the result of seasonal arbitrage. This paper empirically investigates this long-term relationship and offers two main contributions: (i) To the best knowledge of the author, this is the first study to take into ac- count important UK spot gas market drivers such as seasonality, temperature and gas storage injection/withdrawal behaviour when examining the structural relationship between UK and Continental European markets. (ii) The effect of UK import capacity extensions since 2005, through both pipeline and LNG regasification capacity, on this long-term relationship will be analyzed. The results suggest that there is a significant structural break in 2006 when the two markets decouple and move from an old to a new, much weaker, long-term relationship. From the end of 2008 onwards, the time at which UK LNG imports started to increase, this long-term relationship appears to break down altogether.

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: As inelastic structures are ubiquitous in many engineering fields, a central task in computational mechanics is to develop accurate, robust and efficient tools for their analysis. Motivated by the poor performances exhibited by standard displacement-based finite element formulations, attention is here focused on the use of mixed methods as approximation technique, within the small strain framework, for the mechanical problem of inelastic bidimensional structures. Despite a great flexibility characterizes mixed element formulations, several theoretical and numerical aspects have to be carefully taken into account in the design of a high-performance element. The present work aims at providing the basis for methodological analysis and comparison in such aspects, within the unified mathematical setting supplied by generalized standard material model and with special interest towards elastoplastic media. A critical review of the state-of-the-art computational methods is delivered in regard to variational formulations, selection of interpolation spaces, numerical solution strategies and numerical stability. Though those arguments are interrelated, a topic-oriented presentation is resorted to, for the very rich available literature to be properly examined. Finally, the performances of several significant mixed finite element formulations are investigated in numerical simulations.
Relaxing competition through speculation: Committing to a negative supply slope

description: We demonstrate how suppliers can take strategic speculative positions in derivatives markets to soften competition in the spot market. In our game, suppliers first choose a portfolio of call options and then compete with supply functions. In equilibrium firms sell forward contracts and buy call options to commit to downward sloping supply functions. Although this strategy is risky, it reduces the elasticity of the residual demand of competitors, who increase their mark-ups in response. We show that this type of strategic speculation increases the level and volatility of commodity prices and decreases welfare.

description: Although they are best known for studying astrophysical neutrinos, neutrino telescopes like IceCube can study neutrino interactions, at energies far above those that are accessible at accelerators. In this writeup, I present two IceCube analyses of neutrino interactions at energies far above 1 TeV. The first measures neutrino absorption in the Earth, and, from that determines the neutrino-nucleon cross-section at energies between 6.3 and 980 TeV. We find that the cross-sections is 1.30 $^{+0.21}_{-0.19}$ (stat.) $^{+0.39}_{-0.43}$ (syst.) times the Standard Model cross-section. We also present a measurement of neutrino inelasticity, using $ν_μ$ charged-current interactions that occur within IceCube. We have measured the average inelasticity at energies from 1 TeV to above 100 TeV, and found that it is in agreement with the Standard Model expectations. We have also performed a series of fits to this track sample and a matching cascade sample, to probe aspects of the astrophysical neutrino flux, particularly the flavor ratio.

Monsieur Lagarde m'a remis, Monsieur, l'indication de l'état estimatif des réparations à faire à la Maison Carrée. J'en ai causé avec Monsieur l'archevêque de Narbonne et je l'ai trouvé très disposé à y concourir ainsi que vous le désirez. Soyez persuadé du plaisir que j'aurai à réussir dans cette négociation, pour laquelle d'ailleurs je suis bien sûr de trouver auprès de Monsieur l'archevêque de Narbonne toutes les facilités que les circonstances pourront lui permettre.

Je suis bien véritablement Monsieur votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur.

description: The electricity systems have a central role to play in the transition towards a low carbon economy and integration of renewable energy sources in the European Union. However, the European electricity networks face a diverse set of existing and new risks that can hamper the energy security of member countries. This paper aims to qualitatively and quantitatively assess these risks given the changing operating framework of the industry characterised by market liberalization and network interconnectedness among the EU members. Within this context, we primarily focus on the risks from exceptional events and threats to the European electricity systems. An ex-ante risk assessment matrix is proposed to gauge the network risks and take prevention measures against them. Such assessment can be a useful approach for policymakers and practitioners amidst the existing ex-post quality of supply performance standards and indicators. Our analysis suggests that economic risks pose the most serious and challenging risks to the evolving European electricity system.

description: This paper analyses spillovers from macroeconomic shocks in systemic economies (China, the Euro Area, and the United States) to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region as well as outward spillovers from a GDP shock in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and MENA oil exporters to the rest of the world. This analysis is based on a Global Vector Autoregression (GVAR) model, estimated for 38 countries/regions over the period 1979Q2 to 2011Q2. Spillovers are transmitted across economies via trade, financial, and commodity price linkages. The results show that the MENA countries are more sensitive to developments in China than to shocks in the Euro Area or the United States, in line with the direction of evolving trade patterns and the emergence of China as a key driver of the global economy. Outward spillovers from the GCC region and MENA oil exporters are likely to be stronger in their immediate geographical proximity, but also have global implications.

TELEMEDICINE SYSTEM DESIGN: REVOLUTIONIZING REMOTE HEALTHCARE DELIVERY
Creators: name: Grace, Oluwatobiloba Adeyemi
Publisher: name: noland journals
Year: 2024
Subjects: Telemedicine, e-health, WHO, Brain-DRAIN

description: The need for e-health systems in countries like ours cannot be over emphasized as there is a serious Medical Practitioners brain drain. Medical Practitioners for lack of conducive work environment, lack of facilities, unpaid dues among other basic needs go in search for greener pasture thereby decreasing the WHO defined doctor-to-population ratio of 1:600 to 1:4000-5000 representing a difference of 3400-4400 population burden on a doctor. This means that the few Medical Practitioners available will be over stressed and therefore giving attention to quality number of patients would be impossible hence this study. This telemedicine system is developed to fill the gap created by the result of Medical Practitioners brain drain. This is to say that with the adoption of telemedicine, foreign medical experts including the Nigerian emigrated doctors can be reached and be of help to the medical sector while they fix the cause of brain drain in the country. It is one major means to bringing to the doorsteps of the Nigeria populace that falls short of the WHO recommended doctor-to-population ratio of 1:600. This telemedicine system was implemented using Spyder ->Python, Microsoft Visual Studio Code -> JavaScript, PHP, AJAX, CSS

description: Power laws in nature are considered to be signatures of complexity. The theory of self-organized criticality (SOC) was proposed to explain their origins. A longstanding principle of SOC is the \emph{separation of timescales} axiom. It dictates that external input is delivered to the system at a much slower rate compared to the timescale of internal dynamics. The statistics of neural avalanches in the brain was demonstrated to follow a power law, indicating closeness to a critical state. Moreover, criticality was shown to be a beneficial state for various computations leading to the hypothesis, that the brain is a SOC system. However, for neuronal systems that are constantly bombarded by incoming signals, separation of timescales assumption is unnatural. Recently it was experimentally demonstrated that a proper correction of the avalanche detection algorithm to account for the increased drive during task performance leads to a change of the power-law exponent from $1.5$ to approximately $1.3$, but there is so far no theoretical explanation for this change. Here we investigate the importance of timescales separation, by partly abandoning it in various models. We achieve it by allowing for external input during the avalanche, without compromising the separation of avalanches. We develop an analytic treatment and provide numerical simulations of a simple neuronal model.
The Form Factors in the Sinh-Gordon Model

description: The most general solution to the form factor problem in the sinh-Gordon model is presented in an explicit way. The linearly independent classes of solutions correspond to powers of the elementary field. We show how the form factors of exponential operators can be obtained from the general solution by adjusting free parameters. The general formula obtained in the sinh-Gordon case reproduces the form factors of the scaling Lee-Yang model in a certain limit of the coupling constant.

description: We employ a set of sign restrictions on the generalized impulse responses of a Global VAR model, estimated for 38 countries/regions over the period 1979Q2.2011Q2, to discriminate between supply-driven and demand-driven oil-price shocks and to study the time profile of their macroeconomic effects for different countries. The results indicate that the economic consequences of a supply-driven oil-price shock are very different from those of an oil-demand shock driven by global economic activity, and vary for oil-importing countries compared to energy exporters. While oil importers typically face a long-lived fall in economic activity in response to a supply-driven surge in oil prices, the impact is positive for energy-exporting countries that possess large proven oil/gas reserves. However, in response to an oil-demand disturbance, almost all countries in our sample experience long-run inflationary pressures and a short-run increase in real output.

Search for an invisibly decaying Higgs boson in e^+e^- collisions at \sqrt{s} = 183 - 189 GeV
Creators: name: L3 Collaboration

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: A search for a Higgs boson decaying into invisible particles is performed using the data collected at LEP by the L3 experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 183 GeV and 189 GeV. The integrated luminosities are respectively 55.3 pb^-1 and 176.4 pb^-1. The observed candidates are consistent with the expectations from Standard Model processes. In the hypothesis that the production cross section of this Higgs boson equals the Standard Model one and the branching ratio into invisible particles is 100%, a lower mass limit of 89.2 GeV is set at 95% confidence level.
A Next-to-Minimal model of Hybrid Inflation in Effective Supergravity Theories

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

description: We propose a model of inflation based on a simple variant of the NMSSM, called $ϕ$NMSSM where the additional singlet $ϕ$ plays the role of the inflaton in hybrid (or inverted hybrid) type models. The $ϕ$NMSSM solves the $μ$ problem of the MSSM via the vacuum expectation value of the gauge singlet N, but also solves the strong CP problem through an approximate Peccei-Quinn symmetry. The potential energy which drives inflation originates from the F-term of the effective supergravity theory which result from a generic string theory. In the class of models considered the inflaton is protected from receiving mass during inflation by a Heisenberg symmetry, avoiding the $η$ problem.

description: Thermal fluctuations are important for amphiphilic bilayer membranes since typical bending stiffnesses can be a few $k_B T$. The rod-like constituent molecules are generically tilted with respect to the local normal for packing reasons. We study the effects of fluctuations on membranes with nematic order, a simplified idealization with the same novel features as realistic tilt order. We find that nematic membranes lie in the same universality class as hexatic membranes, {\it i.e.} the couplings that distinguish nematic from hexatic order are marginally irrelevant. Our calculation also illustrates the advantages of conformal gauge, which brings great conceptual and technical simplifications compared to the more popular Monge gauge.

description: The UK government has set the ambitious targets of 20 and 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and 2050 respectively. The transport sector accounts for 21% of total CO2 emissions in the UK and can, therefore, be important for achieving the emissions reduction targets. Within the transport sector, electric vehicles (EV) are considered as one of the important mitigation options. However the effect of EVs on emissions and the electricity sector is subject to debate. We use scenario analysis to investigate the emission reduction potential of EVs and their interaction with electricity sector. We show that managing the charging patterns could reduce adverse effects of EVs on the electricity sector while the number of EVs remains the factor affecting the mitigation potential. Our findings indicate that in the UK, by 2030, EVs could result in up to 32% emissions reduction compared to advanced internal combustion engines. We also found that the need for new electricity generation and distribution capacity to meet the conventional electricity demand and demand from EVs could be reduced by up to 12% from 70.6 to 61.8 GW if the EV’s electricity demand is managed.
