description: Dynamic game theory is applied to analyze the timber market in northern Iran as a duopsony. The Nash equilibrium and the dynamic properties of the system based on marginal adjustments are determined. When timber is sold, the different mills use mixed strategies to give sealed bids. It is found that the decision probability combination of the different mills follow a special form of attractor and that centers should be expected to appear in unconstrained games. Since the probabilities of different strategies are always found in the interval [0,1], the boundaries of the feasible set are sometimes binding constraints. Then, the attractor becomes a constrained probability orbit. In the studied game, the probability that the Nash equilibrium will be reached is almost zero. The dynamic properties of timber prices derived via the duopsony game model are found also in the real empirical price series from the north of Iran.
Bar-driven dark halo evolution: a resolution of the cusp--core controversy

Year: 2001

description: Simulations predict that the dark matter halos of galaxies should have central cusps, while those inferred from observed galaxies do not have cusps. We demonstrate, using both linear perturbation theory and n-body simulations, that a disk bar, which should be ubiquitous in forming galaxies, can produce cores in cuspy CDM dark matter profiles within five bar orbital times. Simulations of forming galaxies suggest that one of Milky Way size could have a 10 kpc primordial bar; this bar will remove the cusp out to approximately 5 kpc in approximately 1.5 gigayears, while the disk only loses approximately 8% of its original angular momentum. An inner Lindblad-like resonance couples the rotating bar to orbits at all radii through the cusp, transferring the bar pattern angular momentum to the dark matter cusp, rapidly flattening it. This resonance disappears for profiles with cores and is responsible for a qualitative difference in bar driven halo evolution with and without a cusp. This bar induced evolution will have a profound effect on the structure and evolution of almost all galaxies. Hence, both to understand galaxy formation and evolution and to make predictions from theory it is necessary to resolve these dynamical processes. Unfortunately, correctly resolving these important dynamical processes in ab initio calculations of galaxy formation is a daunting task, requiring at least 4,000,000 halo particles using our SCF code, and probably requiring many times more particles when using noisier tree, direct summation, or grid based techniques, the usual methods employed in such calculations.

description: The current international development co-operation aims to build sector wide approach programmes (SWAPs), programme based co-operation through budget support and joint financing arrangements with other donors in order to enhance recipient governments’ ownership. In this paper we aim to clarify the shift from project approach towards SWAPs in forestry sector. We argue that forestry SWAPs can take place in countries where there are clear sector policies and development strategies for forestry, government and donor’s commitment to support the forestry sector and willingness to harmonise the donor support. It is important to acknowledge that to develop SWAPs in the forestry sector is a long-term process that is related to other reforms and policy changes in each specific country. The whole process of developing a SWAP is complicated and highly dependent on the development of the quality of government systems and an adequate institutional capacity of forestry sector. Also, we have recognised that there is an emerging understanding among the stakeholders that the key factors influencing to the management of forests lay outside of the forest sector. The complexity of the forest sector, and rural development in general, need to be tackled and supported in different ways. The current paper gives examples of Finnish supported forestry development programmes and the purpose of the paper is to discuss the possibilities and barriers of the allocation of the support to forest sector under the partner countries’ own national development frameworks for forestry.

description: We perform the calibration of the X-ray luminosity--mass scaling relation on a sample of 344 CODEX clusters with $z<0.66$ using the dynamics of their member galaxies. Spectroscopic follow-up measurements have been obtained from the SPIDERS survey, leading to a sample of 6,658 red member galaxies. We use the Jeans equation to calculate halo masses, assuming an NFW mass profile and analyzing a broad range of anisotropy profiles. With a scaling relation of the form $L_{\rm{X}} \propto \text{A}_{\rm{X}}M_{\text{200c}}^{\text{B}_{\rm{X}}} E(z)^2 (1+z)^{γ_{\rm{X}}}$, we find best fit parameters $ \text{A}_{\rm{X}}=5.7^{+0.4}_{-0.5} (\pm0.6)\times10^{43}\,\mathrm{erg\,s^{-1}}$, $\text{B}_{\rm{X}}=2.5\pm0.2(\pm0.07)$, $γ_{\rm{X}}=-2.6^{+1.1}_{-1.2}(\pm0.74)$, where we include systematic uncertainties in parentheses and for a pivot mass and redshift of $3\times10^{14}M_\odot$ and 0.16, respectively. We compare our constraints with previous results, and we combine our sample with the SPT SZE--selected cluster subsample observed with \XMM\, extending the validity of our results to a wider range of redshifts and cluster masses.

description: The significance of AI-driven cybersecurity maturity models extends beyond enterprise security; they play a crucial role in national defence, financial stability, and critical infrastructure protection. Governments worldwide are investing in AI-driven security programs to safeguard against nation-state cyberattacks, ransomware threats, and digital espionage. In an interconnected global economy, the ability to defend against cyber threats in real time can determine the resilience and sustainability of a nation's digital infrastructure. As AI continues to evolve, its application in cybersecurity will shape the future of digital trust, influencing how businesses and governments secure sensitive information, prevent fraud, and ensure data integrity in an increasingly hostile cyber landscape.This research explores AI’s potential to redefine cybersecurity maturity models by improving risk assessment methodologies, enhancing threat intelligence, and automating security operations. By analysing real-world case studies, industry trends, and regulatory landscapes, this study provides actionable insights into the practical implications of AI in cybersecurity. The goal is to equip decision-makers, security professionals, and policymakers with the knowledge necessary to implement AI-driven cybersecurity maturity models effectively, ensuring a secure and resilient digital ecosystem. Through this research, we aim to contribute to the broader discourse on AI adoption in cybersecurity, fostering an understanding of how organizations can strike a balance between security innovation, ethical AI governance, and regulatory compliance in an increasingly AI-driven world.

description: We prove a $C^m$ Lusin approximation theorem for horizontal curves in the Heisenberg group. This states that every absolutely continuous horizontal curve whose horizontal velocity is $m-1$ times $L^1$ differentiable almost everywhere coincides with a $C^m$ horizontal curve except on a set of small measure. Conversely, we show that the result no longer holds if $L^1$ differentiability is replaced by approximate differentiability. This shows our result is optimal and highlights differences between the Heisenberg and Euclidean settings.

description: Machine learning models are rising every day. Most of the Computer Vision oriented machine learning models arise from Convolutional Neural Network’s(CNN) basic structure. Machine learning developers use CNNs extensively in Image classification, Object Recognition, and Image segmentation. Although CNN produces highly compatible models with superior accuracy, they have their disadvantages. Estimating pose and transformation for computer vision applications is a difficult task for CNN. The CNN’s functions are capable of learning only shift-invariant features of an image. These limitations give machine learning developers motivation towards generating more complex algorithms. Search for new machine learning models led to Capsule Networks. This Capsule Network was able to estimate objects’ pose in an image and recognize transformations to these objects. Handwritten digit classification is the task for which capsule networks are to solve at the initial stages. Capsule Networks outperforms all models for the MNIST dataset for handwritten digits, but to use Capsule networks for image classification is not a straightforward multiplication of parameters. By replacing the Capsule Network’s initial layer, a simple Convolutional Layer, with complex architectures in CNNs, authors of Residual Capsule Network achieved a tremendous change in capsule network applications without a high number of parameters. This thesis focuses on improving this recent Residual Capsule Network (RCN) to an extent where accuracy and model size is optimal for the Image classification task with a benchmark of the CIFAR-10 dataset. Our search for an exemplary capsule network led to the invention of RCN2: Residual Capsule Network 2 and RCNX: Residual Capsule NeXt. RCNX, as the next generation of RCN. They outperform existing architectures in the domain of Capsule networks, focusing on image classification such as 3-level RCN, DCNet, DC Net++, Capsule Network, and even outperforms compact CNNs like MobileNet V3. RCN2 achieved an accuracy of 85.12% with 1.95 Million parameters, and RCNX achieved 89.31% accuracy with 1.58 Million parameters on the CIFAR-10 benchmark.

description: This paper develops further and systematically the asymptotic expansion theory that was initiated by Foias and Saut in [11]. We study the long-time dynamics of a large class of dissipative systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with time-decaying forcing functions. The nonlinear term can be, but not restricted to, any smooth vector field which, together with its first derivative, vanishes at the origin. The forcing function can be approximated, as time tends to infinity, by a series of functions which are coherent combinations of exponential, power and iterated logarithmic functions. We prove that any decaying solution admits an asymptotic expansion, as time tends to infinity, corresponding to the asymptotic structure of the forcing function. Moreover, these expansions can be generated by more than two base functions and go beyond the polynomial formulation imposed in previous work.

THE TIME SERIES PROPERTIES OF THE DOMESTIC AGRICULTURAL TERMS OF TRADE AND THE EXTERNAL NET BARTER TERMS OF TRADE IN BANGLADESH, 1952-2005

description: This paper examines the time series properties of the domestic agricultural terms of trade, the external net barter terms of trade and the ratio of the agricultural to the external terms of trade in Bangladesh with annual data for the period 1952-2005. The ADF and the KPSS tests results suggest that the time series of these variables do not have a unit root. The Perron (1989) test results, which makes allowance for a structural break in the series during 1972-1975 because economic and political shocks, suggest that although the domestic agricultural terms of trade does not have a unit root, the null hypothesis of a unit root in both the external terms of trade and the ratio of the agricultural to the external terms of trade cannot be rejected at the conventional 5 per cent level. Having obtained such mixed results, these series are assumed trend-stationary for examining any dynamic relationship between them Accordingly, the domestic agricultural terms of trade and the external terms of trade are detrended and a Granger-causality test is conducted between them. Although the test results are sensitive to the lag-length, they suggest that there is a bi-directional causality between them. This finding casts doubt about the view that the domestic agricultural terms of trade in Bangladesh can be considered a policy instrument that remains under the control of policy makers, who might have used it to 'squeeze agriculture' for industrialisation under an import-substituting strptegy of development until the early 1980s.

description: We consider an evolving plane curve with two endpoints that can move freely on the $x$-axis with generating constant contact angles. We discuss the asymptotic behavior of global-in-time solutions when the evolution of this plane curve is governed by area-preserving curvature flow equation. The main result shows that any moving curve converges to a traveling wave if the moving curve starts from an embedded convex curve and remains bounded in global time.

description: In the region of large mu^+ mu^- invariant mass, the decay spectrum of K_L -> mu^+ mu^- gamma deviates from the Dalitz pair spectrum, as a result of interference between conversion (K_L -> gamma^* gamma -> mu^+ mu^- gamma) and bremsstrahlung amplitudes. The latter is proportional to the K_L -> mu^+ mu^- matrix element, whose 2 gamma-absorptive part appears to dominate the observed K_L -> mu^+ mu^- decay rate. We examine the extent to which a scrutiny of the K_L -> mu^+ mu^- gamma spectrum in the end-point region could provide evidence on the real part of the K_L -> mu^+ mu^- amplitude. As a by-product, we obtain the absorptive part of the K_L -> gamma^* gamma form factor, using data on the K_L -> pi^+ pi^- gamma spectrum.

description: This research explores standup comedian podcaster reactions to the #MeToo Movement (2017-2020). The Joe Rogan Experience podcast is used as a database to explore commentary on #MeToo from 12 standup comedian podcasters (SCPs). The exploration seeks to answer if and how SCPs represent a dominant social group using discourse to pushback against, accept, or, at the least, critically reflect on the #MeToo movement as it relates to appropriate sexual conduct and appropriate reactions to inappropriate sexual conduct. With the understanding that frames provide schema for making sense of issues, a rhetorical framing analysis was conducted to looked at how standup comedian podcasters used rhetoric and techniques of argumentation which—through repetition and pattern—ultimately culminated in frames for understanding #MeToo. Three subthemes of SCP discourse (discussions on the accused, on the accuser, and on public reaction) and eight frames were found, all centering around the main SCP theme of whether or not #MeToo went ‘too far’ as a social movement. The combination of frames mostly represent a discursive backlash to #MeToo’s calls for action to listen, reflect and contribute to change (Flood, 2019). These frames are summarized and then positioned within a discussion of media influence and effects, leading to a conclusion that discursive backlash to #MeToo from standup comedian podcasters may have led to similar resistance among their overwhelmingly young adult male audiences.

description: The main objectives of the study are to estimate the farm specific economic efficiency of wheat production and to identify and measure the impacts of different factors associated with economic efficiency of wheat farmers. The study employed farm level cross sectional data from three major wheat growing areas of Bangladesh. Economic efficiency of wheat farmers was found to vary across locations and among farm categories. Cost of seed and urea, land rent and date of sowing were found to contribute significantly in the economic efficiency of wheat farmers. The average economic efficiency of wheat production in Bangladesh is 76 percent. This indicates a good potential for increasing wheat output by 24 percent with the existing technology and levels of inputs while considering amount and cost of inputs. Education and training of the farmers were found to have significant effect on yield and economic efficiency of wheat production.

description: We construct three extreme different scenarios of the star formation histories applicable to a sample of dwarf galaxies, based either on their present metallicity or their luminosity. The three possible scenarios imply different mechanical energy input rates and these we compare with the theoretical lower limits established for the ejection of processed matter out of dwarf galaxies. The comparison strongly points at the existence of extended gaseous haloes in these galaxies, acting as the barrier that allows galaxies to retain their metals and enhance their abundance. At the same time our findings strongly point at a continuous star-forming process, rather than to coeval bursts, as the main contributors to the overall metallicity in our galaxy sample.

A note on the perturbative properties of BPS operators

description: We discuss the perturbative behavior of the 1/2 BPS operators in N=2 SCFT on the example of two very similar quadrilinear composite operators made out of hypermultiplets. An explicit one-loop computation shows that one of them is protected while the other acquires an anomalous dimension. Although both operators are superconformal primaries in the free case, the quantum corrections make the latter become a 1/2 BPS descendant of the Konishi multiplet, while the former remains primary. The comparative study of these two operators at higher orders may be helpful in understanding the quantum properties of the Konishi multiplet.

description: The purpose of this paper is to present new full evolutionary calculations for DA white dwarf stars with the major aim of providing a physically sound reference frame for exploring the pulsation properties of the resulting models in future communications. Here, white dwarf evolution is followed in a self-consistent way with the predictions of time dependent element diffusion and nuclear burning. In addition, full account is taken of the evolutionary stages prior to the white dwarf formation. In particular, we follow the evolution of a 3 \msun model from the zero-age main sequence (the adopted metallicity is Z=0.02) all the way from the stages of hydrogen and helium burning in the core up to the thermally pulsing phase. After experiencing 11 thermal pulses, the model is forced to evolve towards its white dwarf configuration by invoking strong mass loss episodes. Further evolution is followed down to the domain of the ZZ Ceti stars on the white dwarf cooling branch. Emphasis is placed on the evolution of the chemical abundance distribution due to diffusion processes and the role played by hydrogen burning during the white dwarf evolution. Furthermore, the implications of our evolutionary models for the main quantities relevant for adiabatic pulsation analysis are discussed. Interestingly, the shape of the Ledoux term is markedly smoother as compared with previous detailed studies of white dwarfs. This is translated into a different behaviour of the Brunt-Vaisala frequency.

Radiative corrections to neutrino mass matrix in the Standard Model and beyond

description: We study the effect of radiative corrections on the structure of neutrino mass matrix. We analyze the renormalization of the matrix from the electroweak scale $m_Z$ to the scale $m_0$ at which the effective operator that gives masses to neutrinos is generated. Apart from Standard Model and MSSM, non-standard extensions of SM are considered at a scale $m_X$ intermediate between $m_Z$ and $m_0$. We find that the dominant structure of the neutrino mass matrix does not change. SM and MSSM corrections produce small (few percents) independent renormalization of each matrix element. Non-standard (flavor changing) corrections can modify strongly small (sub-dominant) matrix elements, which are important for the low energy phenomenology. In particular, we show that all sub-dominant elements can have purely radiative origin, being zero at $m_0$. The set of non-zero elements at $m_0$ can be formed by (i) diagonal elements (unit matrix); (ii) $M_{ee}$ and $M_{μτ}$; (iii)$M_{ee}$ and $μτ$-block elements; (iv) $μτ$-block elements. In the case of unit matrix, both atmospheric and solar mixing angles and mass squared differences are generated radiatively.

description: We have detected large-amplitude 0.3-1.2 mHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) from the low-mass X-ray binary pulsar 4U 1626-67/KZ TrA, using UV photometry from HST and ground-based optical photometry. These 1 mHz QPOs, which have coherence (Nu/DeltaNu)=8, are entirely distinct from the 130 mHz pulsar spin frequency, a previously known 48 mHz QPO, and the 42 min binary period (independently confirmed here). Unlike the 48 mHz and 130 mHz oscillations which are present in both the optical/UV and the X-ray emission, the 1 mHz QPOs are not detected in simultaneous observations with RXTE. The rms amplitude of the mHz QPO decreases from 15% in the far UV to 3% in the optical, while the upper limit on a corresponding X-ray QPO is as low as 0.8%. We suggest that the mHz oscillations are due to warping of the inner accretion disk. We also report the detection of coherent upper and lower sidebands of the 130 mHz optical pulsations, with unequal amplitude and a spacing of 1.93 mHz around the main pulsation. The origin of these sidebands remains unclear.

description: For a locally compact metrizable group $G$, we consider the action of ${\rm Aut}(G)$ on ${\rm Sub}_G$, the space of all closed subgroups of $G$ endowed with the Chabauty topology. We study the structure of groups $G$ admitting automorphisms $T$ which act expansively on ${\rm Sub}_G$. We show that such a group $G$ is necessarily totally disconnected, $T$ is expansive and that the contraction groups of $T$ and $T^{-1}$ are closed and their product is open in $G$; moreover, if $G$ is compact, then $G$ is finite. We also obtain the structure of the contraction group of such $T$. For the class of groups $G$ which are finite direct products of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ for distinct primes $p$, we show that $T\in{\rm Aut}(G)$ acts expansively on ${\rm Sub}_G$ if and only if $T$ is expansive. However, any higher dimensional $p$-adic vector space $\mathbb{Q}_{p^n}$, ($n\geq 2$), does not admit any automorphism which acts expansively on ${\rm Sub}_G$.
