description: We evaluate, in a model-independent way, the signal-to-background ratio for Higgs -> b bbar detection in exclusive double-diffractive events at the Tevatron and the LHC. For the missing-mass approach to be able to identify the Higgs boson, it will be necessary to use a central jet detector and to tag b quark jets. The signal is predicted to be very small at the Tevatron, but observable at the LHC. However we note that the background, that is double-diffractive dijet production, may serve as a unique gluon factory. We also give estimates for the double-diffractive production of chi_c and chi_b mesons at the Tevatron. We emphasize that a high-resolution missing-mass measurement, on its own, is insufficient to identify rare processes.

description: In long-run closures of the ORANI model of the Australian economy, the responses of endogenous exporting industries other than agriculture (which is characterized by the fixity of the land base) can be very large. The main.industries exhibiting such behaviour are in the mining sector. If this behaviour is seen as implausible, then some aspects of the model's structural-form equations, database, parameter file. or closure, must be altered. In this paper we canvass the alternatives, concentrating on the industries' supply curves. We give details of a proposal which we believe gives the best prospects for constraining long-run supply elasticities in an orderly and interpretable manner.

description: Since the 1960s the resource-rich developing economies have under-performed compared with the resource-deficient economies. This paper explains why and outlines the reforms that are required in order to achieve environmentally and socially sustainable resource-rich development. It argues that structural change in the resource-rich countries causes the tradeable sector to shrink vis-à-vis the nontradeables sector (that includes protected manufacturing) in a manner that is not sustainable. This adverse trend in the production structure is associated with policies to close the economy and create discretionary rents behind protective barriers that result in the cumulative misallocation of resources. The build-up of produced capital and skills is slower than in the successful resource-deficient countries. Overall, the inherently slower and less egalitarian economic growth trajectory of the resource-rich countries is intensified and the end result is usually a growth collapse. The collapse causes all forms of capital, including institutional, social and natural capital, to run down. Economic reform is therefore protracted and it may take in excess of one generation to restore sustainable rapid growth. The adverse features of resource-rich development tend to be more pronounced in the smaller countries. They are also heightened where the resource rents accrue mainly to the central government, as in the mineral economies and in the slow-reforming transition economies. Successful reform requires not only appropriate macro and micro policies, but also the construction of institutions to limit the scope for governments to misallocate resources. Part of the explanation for the superior performance of the resource-deficient countries is that their spartan endowment of natural capital acts as a constraint on government failure by placing a premium on the need to nurture scarce resources, including skills, institutions and social capital, and to achieve an efficient allocation of capital.

description: We compute the vacuum polarization energy of soliton configurations in a model with two scalar fields in one space dimension using spectral methods. The second field represents an extension of the conventional $ϕ^4$ kink soliton model. We find that the vacuum polarization energy destabilizes the soliton except when the fields have identical masses. In that case the model is equivalent to two independent $ϕ^4$ models.

Definitions and measures of corporate reputation in accounting and management: commonalities, differences, and future research

description: This study reviews and compares the definitions and measurements of ‘corporate reputation’ used in 173 studies published in seven top-tier accounting and management journals between 1980 and 2020. Accounting scholars frequently fail to define ‘reputation,’ and if they do, definitions vary considerably between the accounting and management fields. We further find that measures of reputation do not fit well with its definition. The accounting literature often employs secondary financial measures, which poorly reflect stakeholders’ reputation assessments. We develop a conceptual framework to better classify prior research and identify appropriate measures of reputation that match the chosen definition. We also suggest a number of further research opportunities: Accounting scholars may focus more on (a) stakeholders’ subjective nonfinancial assessments; (b) the emotional appeal of companies and its relationship with competence and integrity assessments; (c) the role of stakeholders’ normative expectations and (d) explicitly consider a multi-stakeholder perspective, where corporations have multiple reputations rather than one.

description: The article by Bouwmeester et al. on experimental quantum teleportation constitutes an important advance in the burgeoning field of quantum information. The experiment was motivated by the proposal of Bennett et al. in which an unknown quantum state is `teleported' by Alice to Bob. As illustrated in Fig. 1, in the implementation of this procedure, by Bouwmeester et al., an input quantum state is `disembodied' into quantum and classical components, as in the original protocol. However, in contrast to the original scheme, Bouwmeester et al.'s procedure necessarily destroys the state at Bob's receiving terminal, so a `teleported' state can never emerge as a freely propagating state for subsequent examination or exploitation. In fact, teleportation is achieved only as a postdiction.

description: Tendencies of European disintegration – culminated in Brexit – have laid bare the lack of a future plan for Europe. Few extant studies contain a future outlook and often lack a public opinion perspective, albeit the latter’s relevance in the ‘constraining dissensus’ between citizens and political elites about European integration. Focusing on European Union–non-European Union relations, this study presents comparative evidence on peoples’ preferences for the future of EUrope and their underlying reasons. We map citizen preferences using original open-ended survey question responses across eight European countries from within and outside the European Union. Our results show that non-European Union citizens’ preferences deviate more strongly from the status quo compared to those of European Union citizens. In contrast, risk-taking attitudes play no role for citizen preferences.

description: Nanodiamonds (NDs) are unique carbonaceous materials with exceptionally high stability, hardness, and notable electronic properties. Their applications in photocatalysis, biomedicine, and energy materials are usually carried out in aqueous environments, where they interact with aqueous adsorbates. Especially, electron density may rearrange from the diamond material toward oxidative adsorbates such as oxygen, which is known as charge transfer doping. In this article, we quantify the charge transfer doping for NDs with inhomogeneous surface coverings (hydroxyl, fluorine, and amorphous carbon), as well as NDs doped with heteroatoms (B, Si, N) using hybrid density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The transfer doping magnitude is largely determined by the NDs' highest occupied molecular orbital energies, which can in turn be modified by the surface covering and doping. However, local modifications of the ND structures do not have any local effects on the magnitude of the charge transfer. We furthermore analyze the impact of aqueous adsorbates on the excited states of an aqueous ND in the context of photocatalysis via time-dependent DFT. Here, we find that the excited electrons are biased to move in the direction of the respective oxidative adsorbate. Surprisingly, we find that also unreactive species such as nitrous oxide may attract the excited electrons, which is probably due to the positive partial charge that is induced by the local N O solvation geometry.

description: With the powerful deep network architectures, such as generative adversarial networks, one can easily generate photorealistic images. Although the generated images are not dedicated for fooling human or deceiving biometric authentication systems, research communities and public media have shown great concerns on the security issues caused by these images. This paper addresses the problem of identifying deep network generated (DNG) images. Taking the differences between camera imaging and DNG image generation into considerations, we analyze the disparities between DNG images and real images in different color components. We observe that the DNG images are more distinguishable from real ones in the chrominance components, especially in the residual domain. Based on these observations, we propose a feature set to capture color image statistics for identifying DNG images. Additionally, we evaluate several detection situations, including the training-testing data are matched or mismatched in image sources or generative models and detection with only real images. Extensive experimental results show that the proposed method can accurately identify DNG images and outperforms existing methods when the training and testing data are mismatched. Moreover, when the GAN model is unknown, our methods also achieves good performance with one-class classification by using only real images for training.

description: We construct the effective theories describing the electroweak interactions for the low energy excitations associated with the color superconductive phases of QCD at high matter density. The main result, for the 3 flavor case, is that the quasiparticle Goldstone boson $π^0$ decay into two physical massless photons is identical to the zero density case once we use the new Goldstone decay constant and the modified electric charge $\widetilde{e}=e \cosθ$, with $\tanθ=2e/\sqrt{3}g_s$ and $g_s$ the strong coupling constant. For 2 flavors we find that the coupling of the quarks to the neutral vector boson $Z^0$ is modified with respect to the zero density case. We finally point out possible applications of our result to the physics of compact objects.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Recent research has found that by introducing A-site deficiency into Ba/Ni co-doped (K,Na)NbO3 ABO3-type perovskite, a beneficial interface for photoferroelectric applications is formed between the perovskite and tungsten bronze (TB) phases. To date, such an interface is formed only spontaneously, and the growth mechanism of the TB phase in the perovskite phase is unclear. This work investigates controlled interface formation using KNBNNO (K0.50Na0.44Ba0.04Ni0.02Nb0.98O2.98) annealed at different temperatures for different durations, and in various atmospheres. Structural, microstructural, and chemical analyses suggest that vacuum, N2, and O2 atmospheres promote the growth of the TB phase from the sample surface, of which the thickness increases with annealing temperature and duration. In contrast, annealing in air does not promote such growth due to lower evaporation of K and Na. Among all atmospheres, the growth starts the earliest, i.e., at 800 °C, in vacuum compared to that as late as 1000 °C in O2. The association of growth of the TB phase with the degree of alkali volatilization that is dependent on the atmosphere, and that with the resultant variation in diffusion rate, uncovers the formation mechanism of the beneficial interface that may also be applicable to other KNN-based materials for advanced photoferroelectric applications.

Denote by $\mathcal{S}(f) = \{h \in \mathcal{D}(M) \mid f\circ h=h \}$ the group of diffeomorphisms of $M$ preserving $f$ and let $\mathcal{D}(Σ_f)$ be the group of diffeomorphisms of $Σ_f$. We prove that the "restriction to $Σ_f$" map $ρ:\mathcal{S}(f) \to \mathcal{D}(Σ_f)$, $ρ(h) = h|_{Σ_f}$, is a locally trivial fibration over its image $ρ(\mathcal{S}(f))$.

Real Exchange Rate Policy and Non-Traditional Exports in Developing Countries

Year: 1998

description: In this paper I estimate a non-traditional export performance equation for a panel of 60 developing countries. As an input to the export model, I also estimate a panel regression model of the real exchange rate (RER) for the same countries. The RER estimation allows derivation of indexes of equilibrium RER (ERER) and RER misalignment (RERMIS), which were subsequently used in the export equation, as proxies for the profitability of the export sector. As determinants of export performance, the RER effects are accounted for by two channels: RER misalignment and RER variability. In addition to the RER-based variables, the export model also accounts for other non- incentive factors, such as human capital, imports of machinery (a proxy for investment in capital goods) and external demand. While the first two were found to be robustly associated with non-traditional exports, the latter was not. Moreover, the estimated effects of regional dummies suggest that, ceteris paribus, the ratios of non-traditional exports will tend to be higher in both of East Asia and Latin America compared to Sub-Saharan Africa. To the extent that these dummies reflect other supply constraints not explicitly accounted for by the model (such as market imperfection, technological capabilities, etc.), appropriate state interventions may be necessary for supporting sustained and diversified export expansion. Finally, our results also suggest that Dani Rodrik's interpretation of the phenomenal export expansions in Korea and Taiwan were only partially supported by the wider experiences of developing countries. Rodrik argues that the key factor behind the success of the export-oriented strategies of these two countries was a sustained rise in private returns to capital, and not increased export profitability; the former was engineered by the two governments through a range of strategic interventions to build capabilities and to resolve market failures in modern sector production. Our results corroborate the view that imports of (or investment in) capital goods, basic capabilities, and maybe some strategic interventions to resolve market failures, are important for successful export-orientation; but they also suggest that export promotion and export diversification require a supportive structure of incentives, especially appropriate and stable real exchange rates.

description: The complex of beech taxa in western Eurasia (Fagus sylvatica L. s.l.) represents one of the most widespread broad-leaved trees in the temperate forests of the northern hemisphere. Two subspecies are generally recognized, F. sylvatica ssp. sylvatica in Europe and F. sylvatica ssp. orientalis in southwestern Asia, but several strongly differentiated regional populations were identified within this complex. To reveal geographical and genomic patterns of hybridization and introgression, genetic variation at 6789 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) resulting from ddRAD sequencing was studied in 288 specimens representing 207 populations distributed across the whole range. Two clusters resulting from a Bayesian analysis of population Structure well coincided with the subspecies, while increasing the number of clusters allowed to distinguish divergent lineages within subspecies. Two zones of potential hybridization between such lineages were analyzed: western Balkans at the contact of both subspecies and the Alpine area at the contact of populations coming from different glacial refugia. Geographical distribution of hybrid indices in the Balkan hybrid zone indicates asymmetric gene flow preferentially directed from F. orientalis to F. sylvatica. Eight SNPs showed a significant shift of genomic cline centers, seven of them toward excess F. orientalis ancestry, suggesting that introgression irregularly affects different regions of the beech genome. On the other hand, no genomic cline outliers were found in the Alpine hybrid zone. Implications for assisted gene flow are shortly discussed.

Alchisme turrita is recorded from Country (Panama) only in Goding 1929e: 207 and in Metcalf & Wade 1965a: 562–563. It is also listed as A. veruta (Germar), Country (Panamá) only, in McKamey & Deitz(1996a: 313) who reinstated A. veruta as a valid species apart from A. turrita. Goding 1929e: 207 synonymized A. turrita with A. veruta Fowler, citing Fowler’s Panama distribution for A. veruta. Alchisme turrita distribution, according to McKamey (1998: 178) is Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru therefore A. turrita was erroneously recorded for Panama.

description: We consider an O(N) version of a massive, interacting, chiral supersymmetry model solved exactly in the large N limit. We demonstrate that the system approaches a stable attractor at high energy densities, corresponding to a non-perturbative state for which the relevant field quanta are massless. The state is one of spontaneously broken O(N), which, due to the influence of supersymmetry, does not become restored at high energies. Introducing soft supersymmetry breaking to the Lagrangian results in scalar masses at the soft breaking scale m_s independent of the mass scale of supersymmetry mu, with even smaller masses for the fermions.

description: Fishes from the industrialized environs of the Elizabeth River, Virginia were surveyed for external evidence of disease during June through October 1984. A highly significant (p < 0.001) incidence of disease was found in demersal fishes collected by otter trawl from a site in the industrially contaminated Southern Branch compared to a less contaminated Western Branch site. Cataracts, fin erosion and dermal lesions were the most commonly occurring anomalies in the Southern Branch finfish.

Static, solid-phase toxicity tests employing sediment collected from the Southern Branch site resulted in an immediate toxic stress in the spot, Leiostomus xanthurus, which resulted in 100% mortality within 24 hours, compared with no mortalities in control systems. Spot exposed to control, i.e., pollution free, and diluted Southern Branch sediments innoculated with the pathogenic bacterial species, Vibrio anguillarium, developed significant (p ≤ 0.020) cases of fin erosion at a mean total bacterial community density of ≥ 2.4 x 107 cells/ml. No significant cases of fin erosion were produced in fishes exposed to control and diluted Southern Branch sediments without V. anguillarium. A significantly higher (p = 0.05) total bacterial density developed in the diluted Southern Branch sediments compared with the control sediment.

It is hypothesized that the industrially contaminated Southern Branch sediment favors development of populations of bacteria such as V. anguillarium which are pathogenic to fishes inhabiting this system. Furthermore, an increase in the incidence of disease in fishes from the Southern Branch may be the result of large populations of pathogenic bacteria and industrial pollution stress.
The Asian Currency Crisis Origins, Lessons, and Future Outlook

description: What started in the summer of 1997 as a regional economic and financial crisis in East and Southeast Asia had developed into a global financial crisis within the span of a year. This crisis followed the crisis in the European Monetary System in 1992-3 and the Mexican peso crisis in 1994-5. However, unlike the previous two crises, the scale and depth of the Asian crisis surprised everyone. One obvious reason for this is East and Southeast Asia's track record of economic success. Since the 1960s, no other group of countries in the world has produced more rapid economic growth or such a dramatic reduction in poverty. Given so many years of sustained economic performance the obvious question is: how could events in Asia unfold as they did? This paper has three objectives. First, to explain what led to this crisis and how did it spread throughout the region; second, to analyze the lessons that can be learned from this crisis to prevent it from reoccurring in the future and; third, to evaluate the future outlook of the countries in this region. The paper shows that what led to the crisis was a fatal combination of several self­ reinforcing factors including external sector weaknesses, fragility in domestic financial markets due to inadequately administered financial liberalization, loss of confidence, and short-term capital flows, maturing within less than a year and denominated in unhedged dollars. Some of these factors were country-specific while others were common to the entire region. Asia's financial crisis will almost certainly lead to important changes in the international financial system, as countries try to find an appropriate balance between the benefits from gaining access to international capital flows and the potential for instability and other risks that also seem to be much greater in a world of large and highly mobile capital movement. The paper discusses important lessons from the crisis. Some are preventive, designed to reduce the probability of financial crisis in the future, while others are more fundamental in nature. After the analysis of what went wrong and what we can learn from the crisis, comes the analysis of what happens next as Asian countries try to find their way back to economic stability and growth. The recovery process for these countries can be broadly divided into three phases. In the first phase, policies designed to address the causes of the crisis need to be formulated. In the second phase, a recovery of private capital inflow can be expected. The third and final phase of the process will be reached when the recapitalization of the financial system has been largely accomplished and when the level of private consumption and private investment have reached the pre-crisis level.

description: The reaction of laser-ablated boron atoms with hexafluorobenzene (C6F6) was investigated in neon and argon matrices, and the products are identified by matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations. The reaction is triggered by a boron atom insertion into one C−F bond of hexafluorobenzene on annealing, forming a fluoropentafluorophenyl boryl radical (A). UV-Vis light irradiation of fluoropentafluorophenyl boryl radical causes generation of a 2-difluoroboryl-tetrafluorophenyl radical (B) via a second C−F bond activation. A perfluoroborepinyl radical (C) is also observed upon deposition and under UV-Vis light irradiation. This finding reveals the new example of a dual C−F bond activation of hexafluorobenzene mediated by a nonmetal and provides a possible route for synthesis of new perfluorinated organo-boron compounds.
Grassmann higher-order tensor renormalization group approach for two-dimensional strong-coupling QCD

Publisher: name: Universität Regensburg
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: 530 Physik

description: We present a tensor-network approach for two-dimensional strong-coupling QCD with staggered quarks at nonzero chemical potential. After integrating out the gauge fields at infinite coupling, the partition function can be written as a full contraction of a tensor network consisting of coupled local numeric and Grassmann tensors. To evaluate the partition function and to compute observables, we develop a Grassmann higher-order tensor renormalization group method, specifically tailored for this model. During the coarsening procedure, the blocking of adjacent Grassmann tensors is performed analytically, and the total number of Grassmann variables in the tensor network is reduced by a factor of two at each coarsening step. The coarse-site numeric tensors are truncated using higher-order singular value decompositions. The method is validated by comparing the partition function, the chiral condensate and the baryon density computed with the tensor method with exact analytical results on small lattices up to volumes of 4×4. For larger volumes, we present first tensor results for the chiral condensate as a function of the mass and volume, and observe that the chiral symmetry is not broken dynamically in two dimensions. We also present tensor results for the number density as a function of the chemical potential, which hint at a first-order phase transition.

description: Cell-substrate interactions are of interest in modern biology. The system of surface bound hydrogels is commonly used as a cell culture surface in the field of cell biomechanics. However, the effect gel geometry (thickness, width and length) has on both the mechanics of the gel and the cells behaviour has usually been ignored. 
 It was discovered that a cell differentially spreads and preferentially accumulates at a certain position with respect to the local variation in thickness along a wedge gel (thickness varied from ~50 to 400 µm). This happened although this range of thickness is supposed to be sufficient to prevent the cells from sensing the underlying rigidity of the supporting glass. The mechanical anisotropy of the gel due to its being bound to the substrate was hypothesised to be the cause of the cell behaviour observed. It was later proven that lateral swelling varies exponentially with thickness. The consequences are the decrease in lateral compression and the lateral dilution of gel network density with increasing gel thickness. Both could cause variations of substrate mechanics. The amount of crosslinker, the geometry of the bound area and type of bathing medium all changed the degree of lateral swelling, and thus are contributing factors influencing the lateral mechanics of the swollen gel.
 Surface bound square gels (50-2000 μm thick) were found to be stiffer with increasing thickness as measured with an atomic force microscope (AFM). This could be due to a change in osmotic pressure. These indentation based measurements of vertical mechanics might be of little relevance with respect to the cellular response though. This was supported with another set of cell experiments on such samples, where the cell did not respond in accordance with the stiffness as measured by AFM. It was therefore implied that the difference in cell behaviour observed on the substrates of different height might be a result of an interplay between the lateral mechanics and the rate of liquid flow though the gel.
 The x-, y-aspect ratio was also found to influence cell alignment. Cells tended to align randomly on square (aspect ratio: 1:1), and perpendicular to the direction of the long axis of the gels in high aspect ratio (1:4 – 1:11) gels. This preference could be impaired by inhibition of the interaction between actin and myosin II using blebbistatin treatment. This suggests that actomyosin activity is necessary for such the behaviour.
 The set of studies stressed the importance of x-, y- and z- macrogeometries of surface bound gels as these factors influence mechanical surface anisotropy. These results could have an implication not only in pure cell biology and cell biomechanics but also in regenerative medicine, physiology, wound healing, embryo development, and oncogenesis, wherever cells are in contact with soft biomaterials or orient themselves with respect to mechanical or other features

description: Various developing topics in CP violation are reviewed. There are many theoretical reasons to hope that the CKM paradigm may be incomplete. It is surely too soon to be claiming new physics in ε^\prime/εor in D^0-\bar D^0 mixing, but rare K decays offer interesting places to search for new physics. It is probably also premature to see a clash between global CKM fits and current estimates of sin βand γ, where much more precise data will soon be available. There are interesting possibilities to look for CP violation in neutrino oscillations and in Higgs physics. Rapid progress can be expected now that CP violation is moving to the top of the particle physics agenda.
