description: Assuming that gluon condensates are important even above the deconfining phase transition, we develop a model for the dilepton yield from a quark gluon plasma. Using a simple fire ball description of a heavy ion collision, and various estimates of the strengths of the gluon condensates, we compare our predicted dilepton yields with those observed in the CERES and HELIOS experiments at CERN. The simple model gives an adequate description of the data, and in particular it explains the observed considerable enhancement of the yield in the low mass region.

description: Facing massive capital inflows that put downward pressure on the real exchange rate, some policy makers and analysts have recommended a liberalization of capital outflows. Empirically, however, the removal of capital outflow controls has apparently stimulated a net inflow of capital in several experiences, such as Britain since 1979, Italy, New Zealand and Spain in the mid to late 1980s, and Colombia, Egypt and Mexico in the 1990s. Numerous measures to liberalize capital outflows in Chile during the 1990s have not had a noticeable effect in offsetting a surge of net capital inflows. How can we explain the apparent paradox that reducing controls on capital outflows can actually increase net capital inflows? Our theoretical model provides one such explanation. A liberalization of capital outflows, understood here as a reduction in the minimum capital repatriation period for foreign investment, reduces the degree of "irreversibility" of the decision to invest in a given country. This, in turn, lowers the option value of waiting until uncertainty about a possible change in the rules of the game that affect investment in domestic assets is resolved, because in this event foreigners investing at home will be stuck with the low-return asset for a shorter period of time. Thus, a reduction in the minimum repatriation period is likely to increase --not decrease-- net capital inflows. This result has an important policy implication. Liberalizing capital outflows may have significant benefits on its own. But it may not be the appropriate policy to defend the real exchange rate in the presence of massive capital inflows, because it is likely to strengthen those very capital inflows.
Estimating Marginal Cost of Quality Improvements: The Case of the UK Electricity Distribution Companies

description: The main aim of this paper is to develop an econometric approach to estimation of marginal costs of improving quality of service. We implement this methodology by way of applying it to the case of the UK electricity distribution networks. The estimated marginal costs allow us to shed light on the effectiveness of the current UK incentive regulation to improve quality, and to derive optimal quality levels and welfare losses due to sub-optimal quality levels. The proposed method also allows us to measure the welfare effect of the observed quality improvements in the UK between 1995 and 2003. Our results suggest that while the incentive schemes established by the regulator to encourage utilities to reduce network energy losses leads to improvement in sector performance, they do not provide utilities with sufficient incentives to avoid power interruptions. We find that the observed improvements in quality during the period of this study only represented 30% of the potential customer welfare gains, and hence there was still significant scope for quality improvements.
Subtracted Dispersion Relations for In-Medium Meson Correlators in QCD Sum Rules

description: We analyze subtracted dispersion relations for meson correlators at finite baryon density and temperature. Such relations are needed for QCD sum rules. We point out the importance of scattering terms, as well as finite, well-defined subtraction constants. Both are necessary for consistency, in particular for the equality of the longitudinal and transverse correlators in the limit of the vanishing three-momentum of mesons relative to the medium. We present detailed calculations in various mesonic channels for the case of the Fermi gas of nucleons.

description: The exchange of energy between a classical open system and its environment can be analysed for a single run of an experiment using the phase space trajectory of the system. By contrast, in the quantum regime such energy exchange processes must be defined for an {\it ensemble} of runs of the same experiment based on the reduced system density matrix. Single-shot approaches have been proposed for quantum systems that are weakly coupled to a heat bath. However, a single-shot analysis for a quantum system that is entangled or strongly interacting with external degrees of freedom has not been attempted because no system wave function exists for such a system within the standard formulation of quantum theory. Using the notion of the {\it conditional} wave function of a quantum system, we derive here an exact formula for the rate of total energy change in an open quantum system, valid for arbitrary coupling between the system and the environment. In particular, this allows us to identify three distinct contributions to the total energy flow: an external contribution coming from the explicit time dependence of the Hamiltonian, an interaction contribution associated with the interaction part of the Hamiltonian, and an entanglement contribution, directly related to the presence of entanglement between the system and its environment. Given the close connection between weak values and the conditional wave function, the approach presented here provides a new avenue for experimental studies of energy fluctuations in open quantum systems.

description: We report on the fabrication and characterization of field effect transistors (FETs) based on chemical vapor deposited (CVD) graphene encapsulated between few layer CVD boron nitride (BN) sheets with complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatible nickel edge contacts. Non-contact Tera-hertz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) of large-area BN/graphene/BN (BN/G/BN) stacks reveals average sheet conductivity >1 mS/sq and average mobility of 2500 cm$^{2}$/Vs. Improved output conductance is observed in direct current (DC) measurements under ambient conditions, indicating potential for radio-frequency (RF) applications. Moreover, we report a maximum voltage gain of 6 dB from a low frequency signal amplifier circuit. RF characterization of the GFETs yields an f$_{T}$ x L$_{g}$ product of 2.64 GHz$μ$m and an f$_{Max}$ x L$_{g}$ product of 5.88 GHz$μ$m. This study presents for the first time THz-TDS usage in combination with other characterization methods for device performance assessment on BN/G/BN stacks. The results serve as a step towards scalable, all CVD 2D material-based FETs for CMOS compatible future nanoelectronic circuit architectures.

description: The influence of quantum fluctuations on electron transport through small metallic islands with Coulomb blockade effects is studied beyond the perturbative regime. In tunnel junctions with low resistance higher order coherent processes and ``inelastic resonant tunneling'' become important. We present a path integral real-time description, which allows a systematic diagrammatic classification of these processes. Quantum fluctuations renormalize system parameters and lead to finite lifetime broadening. Both effects are observable in the gate voltage dependence of the nonlinear conductance. The finite bias voltage introduces an energy scale up to which quantum fluctuations are probed. It can be larger than the temperature, which makes quantum effects experimentally observable above thermal fluctuations.

description: Darwin’s naturalization conundrum describes two seemingly contradictory hypotheses regarding whether alien species closely or distantly related to native species should be more likely to naturalize in regional floras. Both expectations have accumulated empirical support, and whether such apparent inconsistency can be reconciled at the global scale is unclear. Here, using 219,520 native and 9,531 naturalized alien plant species across 487 globally distributed regions, we found a latitudinal gradient in Darwin’s naturalization conundrum. Naturalized alien plant species are more closely related to native species at higher latitudes than they are at lower latitudes, indicating a greater influence of preadaptation in harsher climates. Human landscape modification resulted in even steeper latitudinal clines by selecting aliens distantly related to natives in warmer and drier regions. Our results demonstrate that joint consideration of climatic and anthropogenic conditions is critical to reconciling Darwin’s naturalization conundrum.

Health Satisfaction and Energy Spending

energy spending

description: This study explores the link between energy spending and health satisfaction. We aim to show that energy spending is a driver of health satisfaction and therefore of the overall quality of life of individuals. This has important implications for policy makers especially in the context of fuel poor and low-income households. The analysis tests the hypothesis that health satisfaction decreases with increasing energy spending per room. Households with high energy spending tend to live in inefficiently insulated homes that are not heated adequately. We use a British panel household survey dataset with more than 60,000 observations covering the period 1997 to 2007. We apply a fixed effects econometric model which enables us to take unobservable heterogeneity between households into account.

Quark Mixing Matrix Studies and Lepton Flavor Violation Searches Using Rare Decays of Kaons

description: I review recent results from experiments on rare decays of kaons, concentrating on searches for lepton flavor violation (LFV) and on measurements of quark mixing (CKM) matrix elements. The LFV results are the culmination of 15 years of experimentation at Brookhaven National Laboratory and are unlikely to be improved upon soon. The CKM studies derive from measurements of decay rates of charged and neutral kaons into lepton anti-lepton pairs, both with and without a charged or neutral pion. I discuss recent results and prospects for improved measurements that could provide an unambiguous test of the Standard Model explanation for CP violation. This paper is the written version of a talk presented at the Lepton-Photon Conference in August 1999.

description: We theoretically explore the role of mesoscopic fluctuations and noise on the spectral and temporal properties of systems of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric coupled gain-loss resonators operating near the exceptional point, where eigenvalues and eigenvectors coalesce. We show that the inevitable detuning in the frequencies of the uncoupled resonators leads to an unavoidable modification of the conditions for reaching the exceptional point, while, as this point is approached in ensembles of resonator pairs, statistical averaging significantly smears the spectral features. We also discuss how these fluctuations affect the sensitivity of sensors based on coupled $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric resonators. Finally, we show that temporal fluctuations in the detuning and gain of these sensors lead to a quadratic growth of the optical power in time, thus implying that maintaining operation at the exceptional point over a long period can be rather challenging. Our theoretical analysis clarifies issues central to the realization of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric devices, and should facilitate future experimental work in the field.

Internationale Adoption – Adoptierte erzählen: Eine Forschungsarbeit bezüglich der Anforderungen an die soziale Arbeit im Kontext der internationalen Adoption

description: Es gibt viele Studien über Adoption aus der Perspektive der Adoptiveltern oder der Sozialarbeitenden. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist zu erforschen, wie international Adoptierte ihr «Adoptiert Sein» erleben und welche Bedingungen aus ihrer subjektiven, persönlichen Sicht erfüllt sein müssen, um eine gute Entwicklung zu ermöglichen. Dafür werden rechtliche, entwicklungspsychologische und weitere Aspekte miteinbezogen. Die qualitative Forschung an vier in den 70er Jahren aus Südkorea Adoptierten, fand in einer Mischform aus Leitfaden- und narrativem Interview statt und wurde, in einer leicht veränderten Version, mittels der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Udo Kuckartz (2014) ausgewertet. Eine Schulsozialarbeiterin wurde bezüglich ihrer beruflichen Erfahrung und ihres Expertinnenwissens mittels Leitfadeninterview befragt. Dieses Interview wurde paraphrasierend ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse haben gezeigt, dass in den ersten zwei Adoptionsjahren ein gewisser Honey-Moon-Effekt eine bessere Entwicklung verursacht, mit zunehmendem Alter jedoch eine Verschlechterung stattfindet. Dabei schneiden Adoptivkinder aus Korea am besten von allen Herkunftsländern ab. Der Einbezug der Herkunftskultur im Kindesalter, regelmässiger Kontakt zur Diaspora oder anderen Adoptivfamilien, eine wohlwollende, individuelle Unterstützung und Förderung seitens Adoptiveltern in einer herzlichen, wärmenden Atmosphäre, ein Verzicht auf ein künstliches «Schweizermachen» und auf das Einfordern von Dankbarkeit, Transparenz in Sachen Adoptionsmotive, eine längere Begleitung der Familie durch Sozialarbeitende über den Adoptionszeitpunkt hinaus wäre hilfreich. Die Soziale Arbeit ist gefordert, dies zu ermöglichen.

Perturbatively, it has only one-loop corrections for the NS-NS sector, generalizing the non-renormalization theorem of the R^4 term. Finally, the non-perturbative corrections are of the expected form, namely, they can be interpreted as arising from single D-instantons of multiple charge.

description: The International Staging Evaluation and Response Criteria Harmonization for Childhood, Adolescent, and Young Adult Hodgkin Lymphoma (SEARCH for CAYAHL) seeks to provide an appropriate, universal differentiation between E-lesions and stage IV extranodal disease in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). A literature search was performed through the PubMed and Google Scholar databases using the terms “Hodgkin disease,” and “extranodal,” “extralymphatic,” “E lesions,” “E stage,” or “E disease.” Publications were reviewed for the number of participants; median age and age range; diagnostic modalities used for staging; and the definition, incidence, and prognostic significance of E-lesions. Thirty-six articles describing 12 640 patients met the inclusion criteria. Most articles reported staging per the Ann Arbor (72%, 26/36) or Cotswolds modification of the Ann Arbor staging criteria (25%, 9/36), and articles rarely defined E-lesions or disambiguated “extranodal disease.” The overall incidence of E-lesions for patients with stage I-III HL was 11.5% (1330/11 602 unique patients). Available stage-specific incidence analysis of 3888 patients showed a similar incidence of E-lesions in stage II (21.2%) and stage III (21.9%), with E-lesions rarely seen with stage I disease (1.1%). E-lesions likely remain predictive, but we cannot unequivocally conclude that identifying E-lesions in HL imparts prognostic value in the modern era of the more selective use of targeted radiation therapy. A harmonized E-lesion definition was reached based on the available evidence and the consensus of the SEARCH working group. We recommend that this definition of E-lesion be applied in future clinical trials with explicit reporting to confirm the prognostic value of E-lesions.

description: Moving to a very low carbon electricity system is central to meeting the goals of UK energy policy, and indeed to the wider global challenge of tackling climate change. This will require massive investment in low carbon electricity sources. This working paper identifies four key difficulties with the current mainstream approach of relying on the impact of a carbon price in the present liberalised electricity market, supplemented with additional incentive mechanisms like renewable obligation certificates and feed-in tariffs. We then summarise alternate mechanisms and propose a new approach, aimed at harnessing the potential interest and capital of electricity consumers, large and small, directly in funding low carbon electricity investments, in the form of longterm ‘Green Power’ contracts that operate in a separate, differentiated contract market.

description: We study J/psi dissociation processes in hadronic environments. The validity of a thermal meson gas ansatz is tested by confronting it with an alternative, nonequilibrium scenario. Heavy ion collisions are simulated in the framework of the microscopic transport model UrQMD, taking into account the production of charmonium states through hard parton-parton interactions and subsequent rescattering with hadrons. The thermal gas and microscopic transport scenarios are shown to be very dissimilar. Estimates of J/psi survival probabilities based on thermal models of comover interactions in heavy ion collisions are therefore not reliable.

Resource /Energy Economics and Policy

description: The 1989 publication of Wasting Assets by the World Resources Institute sparked considerable interest in the modification of national income accounts to reflect the depletion of natural resources. Recently, attention has focused on issues related to forest resources. Given that forest resources provide a wide range of economic benefits, one should expect that their proper incorporation into the national accounts requires several adjustments to standard procedures. This is indeed the case. This note focuses on matters related to timber depletion. It examines the analytical foundations of methods for calculating the economic depreciation of timber resources. It begins by reviewing estimation methods for nonrenewable resources. It then reviews the standard "net-depletion" method for timber resources. It demonstrates that this methods tends to overstate both the decrease in capitalized forest value that occurs when mature forests are logged and the increase that occurs as immature forests regenerate. It presents alternative methods, based on the familiar Faustmann model of optimal forest management, that avoid these biases.

description: Background: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is a rare, low-grade malignant pancreatic tumor with a highly favorable prognosis. Most SPN patients are young and middle-aged women. The main controversial topic for SPN is local resection (LR) versus radical resection (RR). Theoretically, LR could lead to better gastrointestinal function (GIF) and less mental stress. However, no data is available to support this hypothesis. Methods: All SPN patients undergoing surgical treatment in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2001 to 2021 were included in the study. A cross-sectional online multiquestionnaire survey containing 110 questions was sent to them (Clinicaltrial.org, NCT05604716). This online multiquestionnaire survey focused on GIF and mental stress and consisted of eight questionnaires. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify independent factors impacting GIF and mental stress. Results: A total of 183 cases provided valid results. Among them, 46 patients (25.1%) underwent LR, and 137 (74.9%) underwent RR. Ninety-four cases (51.4%) underwent minimally invasive surgery (MIS), while 89 (48.6%) underwent open surgery. The average GSRS score of the patients was 1.9±0.7, indicating that most suffered from mild gastrointestinal dysfunction. The scores of PHQ-9 and GAD-7 in 16 patients (8.7%) and 27 (14.8%) patients, respectively, were beyond 10.0, which indicated clinical depression and anxiety. Additionally, 19 (10.4%) patients reported poor ability to work, and 31(16.9%) patients had significant body image concerns. Compared to other clinicopathological characteristics, LR (LR vs. RR: PHQ-9 score, P=0.018; WAI average score, P=0.010; EORTC QLQ-C30, nine subdomains, P<0.05; GSRS average score, P=0.006) and MIS (MIS vs. open surgery: EORTC QLQ-C30, three subdomains, P<0.05; GSRS average score, P=0.006) were the most significant factors predicting improved GIF and reduced mental stress. Conclusions: This study systematically presents postoperative GIF and mental stress of SPN patients using validated multiquestionnaires for the first time. It provides solid evidence that LR and MIS can improve GIF and reduce mental stress after surgery for SPN patients, which could be helpful for the surgeons to make more personalized surgical plans for their patients.

description: Mechanical circulatory support has proven effective in managing postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock by stabilizing patients’ hemodynamics and ensuring adequate organ perfusion. Among the available device modalities, the combination of extracorporeal life support and a microaxial flow pump for left ventricular unloading has emerged as a valuable tool in the surgical armamentarium. In this publication, we provide recommendations for the application and weaning of temporary mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock patients, derived from a consensus among leading cardiac centers in German-speaking countries.

cross-country analysis

description: This paper studies the relationship between corruption and sustainable development in a sample of 110 countries between 1996 and 2007. Sustainability is measured by growth in genuine wealth per capita. The empirical analysis consistently finds that cross-national measures of perceived and experienced corruption reduce growth in genuine wealth per capita. In contrast to the evidence on the relationship between corruption and growth in GDP per capita, the negative correlation between a wide range of different corruption indices and growth in genuine wealth per capita is very robust and is of economic as well as of statistical significance. We relate the finding to the literature on the resource curse and demonstrate that rampant corruption can put an economy on an unsustainable path along which its capital base is being eroded.

How do banks respond to increased funding uncertainty?

Publisher: name: Faculty of Economics

description: This paper presents a simple model of risk-averse banks that face uncertainty over funding conditions in the money market. It shows that increased funding uncertainty: (i) creates risk-based loan-deposit synergies, (ii) often causes banks' lending volumes and their profitability to decline, (iii) can explain more intense competition for retail deposits (including deposits turning into a loss leader), and (iv) typically dampens the rate of pass-through from changes in the central bank's policy rate to market interest rates. These results can explain some elements of commercial banks' behaviour and the reduced effectiveness of monetary policy during the 2007/9 financial crisis.

description: A main challenge in human walking is maintaining stability. One strategy to balance the whole body dynamically is to direct the ground reaction forces toward a point above the center of mass, called virtual pivot point (VPP). This strategy could be observed in various experimental studies for human and animal gait. A VPP was also observed when VPP input variables like center of mass or ground reaction forces were perturbed. In this study, the kinetic and kinematic consequences of a center of pressure manipulation and the influence on the VPP are investigated. Thus, eleven participants walked with manipulated center of pressure (i.e. barefoot, backwards, with a rigid sole, with stilts, and in handstand compared to shoe walking). In all conditions a VPP could be observed, only one participant showed no VPP in handstand walking. The vertical VPP position only differs between shoe walking and rigid sole walking, there are no significant differences between the conditions in the horizontal VPP position and the spread around the VPP. However, it is conceivable that for more severe gait changes, walking without VPP could be observed. To further analyze this issue, the authors provide a VPP calculation tool for testing data regarding the existence of the VPP.

description: The structure of the moduli space of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories is analyzed from an algebraic geometric viewpoint. The connection between the fundamental fields of the ultraviolet theory, and the gauge invariant composite fields of the infrared theory is explained in detail. The results are then used to prove an anomaly matching theorem. The theorem is used to study anomaly matching for supersymmetric QCD, and can explain all the known anomaly matching results for this case.

description: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by the body’s overwhelming response to an infection, such as pneumonia or urinary tract infection. It occurs when the immune system releases cytokines into the bloodstream, triggering widespread inflammation. If not treated, it can lead to organ failure and death. Unfortunately, sepsis has a high mortality rate, with studies reporting rates ranging from 20% to over 50%, depending on the severity and promptness of treatment. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the annual death toll in the world is about 11 million. One of the main toxins responsible for inflammation induction are lipopolysaccharides (LPS, endotoxin) from Gram-negative bacteria, which rank among the most potent immunostimulants found in nature. Antibiotics are consistently prescribed as a part of anti-sepsis-therapy. However, antibiotic therapy (i) is increasingly ineffective due to resistance development and (ii) most antibiotics are unable to bind and neutralize LPS, a prerequisite to inhibit the interaction of endotoxin with its cellular receptor complex, namely Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/MD-2, responsible for the intracellular cascade leading to pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion. The pandemic virus SARS-CoV-2 has infected hundreds of millions of humans worldwide since its emergence in 2019. The COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease-19) caused by this virus is associated with high lethality, particularly for elderly and immunocompromised people. As of August 2023, nearly 7 million deaths were reported worldwide due to this disease. According to some reported studies, upregulation of TLR4 and the subsequent inflammatory signaling detected in COVID-19 patients “mimics bacterial sepsis”. Furthermore, the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 was described by others as “mirror image of sepsis”. Similarly, the cytokine profile in sera from severe COVID-19 patients was very similar to those suffering from the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis. Finally, the severe COVID-19 infection is frequently accompanied by bacterial co-infections, as well as by the presence of significant LPS concentrations. In the present review, we will analyze similarities and differences between COVID-19 and sepsis at the pathophysiological, epidemiological, and molecular levels.

description: This paper presents the conceptual design of a high-voltage pulser intended to generate 30-T magnetic fields for magneto-inertial fusion experiments at the OMEGA facility. The pulser uses a custom capacitor bank and two externally triggered spark gaps to drive a multi-turn coil. This new high-voltage pulser is capable of storing 10 times more energy than the previous system, using a higher charge voltage (from 20 to 30 kV) and a larger capacitance (from 1 μF to 5 μF). Circuit simulations show that this pulser can deliver 100 kA into a 60-nH, 14-mΩ coil with a rise time of 1 μs. For a coil with 2 turns with an average coil diameter of 7.8 mm, this current translates into a 32-T peak magnetic field at coil center. This is a factor of three increase in the peak magnetic field compared to the present generator magnetic field capabilities.
