Evangelicalism and the making of same-sex desire : the life and writings of Constance Maynard (1849-1935)
Creators: name: Lloyd, Naomi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Although a devout Evangelical Anglican, living in an era that largely pre-dated the dissemination of sexological discourses of female same-sex desire, Constance Maynard, the prominent Victorian feminist and educational reformer, pursued a series of same-sex relationships. Religion is often understood to exercise a repressive influence on sexual desire. This study, however, takes as its starting point the historian of sexuality Michel Foucault’s contention that sexual regulation produces desire rather than repressing it. It charts the role of Evangelical discourse – both regulatory and non-regulatory – in the structuring of Maynard’s dissident sexual subjectivity. Arguing that sexuality, and female homoeroticism in particular, is crucial to an understanding of turn-of-the-century British culture, this dissertation explores transitions in Maynard’s same-sex desire as they were occasioned by shifts in her religious subjectivity, examines the role of other cultural discourses in precipitating changes in her religious beliefs, and delineates the implications of transitions in the relationship between Evangelicalism and these other discourses for turn-of-the-century British society. A central focus of this dissertation is the discourse of modernity. Modernity is often represented as the product of the triumph of science, reason, and progress over an out-dated, irrational, repressive religion. This dichotomy is a gendered one; masculinity is often aligned with the former terms and femininity with the latter. Dominant narratives of modernity also fail to take into account the indebtedness of the latter to imperialism. The making of Maynard’s same-sex desire disrupts the science/religion, masculine/feminine, and metropole/colony binaries that inform narratives of modernity. Maynard’s sexual subjectivity and her modernizing sexual discourse were the products of Evangelicalism in dynamic interaction with, rather than in opposition to, the scientific discourses of natural theology, evolution, eugenics, and psychoanalysis. The constitution and contestation of Maynard’s religio-scientific imperialist discourse in her same-sex relationships demonstrates the role of imperialism in the production of modern sexuality. Discourses of modern sexuality feature prominently in the making of contemporary geopolitical divides. To move beyond these divides it is necessary to recognize the complex interactions between religion and science that have produced modern western sexuality, and to situate its production in the context of the uneven relationship between metropole and colony.
title: Balsam Woolly Adelgid and Host Forest Characteristics: Impacts and Interactions in Recently Invaded Areas of Northern Utah and Southeastern Idaho
Creators: name: Jordan, Grayson B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2023

description: The balsam woolly adelgid (BWA), is an invasive forest insect native to central and southern Europe. In 2017, it was detected in Utah for the first time. While BWA had limited impact as a pest in its native European range, it has caused considerable damage to true fir populations in North America. In the Intermountain region, subalpine fir has been identified as the tree species most at risk of BWA infestation. Subalpine fir provides a variety of ecosystem services and is a critical component of the spruce-fir alpine forests of the area. With an expected increase in the severity and impact of BWA to the forests of the Intermountain region, a study was undertaken to investigate ecological factors influencing BWA's impact and apply that knowledge to predict future impact.
To accomplish this, over forty research plots were established across Utah and southeastern Idaho in BWA-infested areas. Data on various aspects of trees and stands, including tree size, observed damage and health of the trees, forest community composition, stand structure, and abiotic factors were collected. The aim was to understand the relationships between these factors and the severity of BWA infestations. Additionally, the occurrence data of other pests affecting subalpine fir were gathered to explore potential interactions within the "subalpine fir mortality complex.” The study yielded significant findings. Firstly, it provided an assessment of recent BWA infestations within Utah and southern Idaho, estimating the severity and mortality levels caused by the insect. Secondly, the analysis of forest characteristics revealed crucial insights. It highlighted the importance of forest structure in influencing the severity of BWA infestations. Moreover, the study shed light on the previously unexplored interactions between BWA and other pests affecting subalpine fir. These findings were then used in the creation of a hazard rating system for categorizing forests within the study area into risk levels based on forest and climate characteristics.

Observations of four glitches in the young pulsar J1833-1034 and study of its glitch activity

description: We present the results from timing observations with the GMRT of the young pulsar J1833-1034, in the galactic supernova remnant G21.5-0.9. We detect the presence of 4 glitches in this pulsar over a period of 5.5 years, making it one of a set of pulsars that show fairly frequent glitches. The glitch amplitudes, characterized by the fractional change of the rotational frequency, range from 1 \times 10^-9 to 7 \times 10^-9, with no evidence for any appreciable relaxation of the rotational frequency after the glitches. The fractional changes observed in the frequency derivative are of the order of 10-5 . We show conclusively that, in spite of having significant timing noise, the sudden irregularities like glitches detected in this pulsar can not be modeled as smooth timing noise. Our timing solution also provides a stable estimate of the second derivative of the pulsar spin-down model, and a plausible value for the braking index of 1.857, which, like the value for other such young pulsars, is much less than the canonical value of 3.0. PSR J1833-1034 appears to belong to a class of pulsars exhibiting fairly frequent occurrence of low amplitude glitches. This is further supported by an estimate of the glitch activity parameter, Ag = 1.53 \times 10^-15 s^-2, which is found to be significantly lower than the trend of glitch activity versus characteristic age (or spin frequency derivative) that a majority of the glitching pulsars follow. We present evidence for a class of such young pulsars, including the Crab, where higher internal temperature of the neutron star could be responsible for the nature of the observed glitch activity.

What do the radiative decays of X(3872) tell us

description: Since the discovery of X(3872), its structure has been in ceaseless dispute. The data of $X(3872)\rightarrow π^+π^-π^0 J/ψ$ suggest that X(3872) may be a high-spin charmonium-like of $2^{-+}$. In terms of the light front quark model (LFQM) we calculate the rates of the radiative decays $X(3872)\rightarrow J/ψ(ψ')γ$ supposing X(3872) to be a $2^{-+}$ charmonium. Within this framework, our theoretical prediction on $\mathcal{BR}(X(3872)\rightarrowψ(1S)γ)$ is at order of $10^{-3}$ which is slightly lower than the Babar's data but close to the Belle's. Our prediction on $\mathcal{BR}(X(3872)\rightarrowψ'γ)$ is at order of $10^{-5}$ if $ψ'$ is a pure 2S state or $10^{-4}$ if $ψ'$ is a $2S-1D$ mixture, which does not conflict with the upper bound set by the Belle collaboration, but is much lower than the Babar's data. Thus if the future measurement decides the branching ratio of $\mathcal{BR}(X(3872)\rightarrowψ'γ)$ to be much larger than $10^{-4}$, the $2^{-+}$ assignment for X(3872) should be ruled out.

Happy news from the dismal science: Reassessing Japanese fiscal policy and sustainability

name: Weinstein, David E.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2004
Subjects: Commerce

description: We analyze fiscal policy and fiscal sustainability in Japan using a variant of the methodology developed in Blanchard (1990). We find that Japan can achieve fiscal sustainability over a 100-year horizon with relatively small changes in the tax-to-GDP ratio. Our analysis differs from more pessimistic analyses in several dimensions. First, since Japanese net debt is only half that of gross debt, we demonstrate that the current debt burden is much lower than is typically reported. This means that monetization of the debt will have little impact on Japan's fiscal sustainability because Japan's problem is the level of future liabilities not current ones. Second, we argue that one obtains very different projections of social security burdens based on the standard assumption that Japan's population is on a trend towards extinction rather than transitioning to a new lower level. Third, we demonstrate that some modest cost containment of the growth rate of real per capita benefits, such as cutting expenditures for shrinking demographic categories, can dramatically lower the necessary tax burden. In sum, no scenario involves Japanese taxes rising above those in Europe today and many result in tax-to-GDP ratios comparable to those in the United States.

description: Utilizing the firm-level dataset, this study aims to explore differences in firm-level productivity and growth between Japan, Korea, and China, while at the same time illuminating the mechanism that has driven the narrowing in the productivity gap that can be observed. We pursue two strategies. First, we compare the firm-level TFP distribution of major industries in these three countries over time to examine catch-up patterns within and across industries. Second, in order to examine patterns of technology diffusion across these three countries, we conduct a regression analysis on TFP convergence to the national frontier and to the global frontier. Our main results can be summarized as follows. First, although Japanese firms enjoy the highest average TFP level in many industries, their TFP growth rate has been relatively low during the past two decades. Korean firms have achieved considerable TFP growth in certain industries. The average TFP level of Chinese firms is still much lower than that of Japanese and Korean firms in many industries. Second, within-industry dispersion of TFP levels is very small for Japanese firms. While the within-industry ranking of TFP levels hardly changes in the case of Japan, fluctuations in the ranking are relatively frequent in the case of Korea. Third, in Korea, the TFP levels of low-performing firms are approaching those of the national frontier firms at a more rapid pace than in Japan.

Japanese government bond auctions: The U.S. experience

Year: 1995
Subjects: Economics

description: There has been constant friction between the U.S. and Japan on economic issues. After lengthy negotiations and threats of reprisal, Japan agreed to sell its Government Bonds through auctions that were open to foreign competition. This paper examines the U.S. experience in the Japanese Government Bond (JGB) auctions. It also empirically tests the predictions of auction theory with JGB auction data. While the winning share of U.S. firms in 10-year JGB auction market went through ups and downs, their share in the 20-year market has increased steadily. We find that the winning shares by the U.S. firms are positively related to auction profits, whereas the Japanese "Big Four" winning shares show negative association. We offer some possible explanations for this phenomenon. Furthermore, the average profits to winning bids in JGB auctions is not reliably different from zero, and the degree of competition and the level of uncertainty are found to be insignificant in determining auction profits.
Financial Markets for Unknown Risks

Year: 1992
Subjects: Economics

description: An economy faces an unknown individual risk, such as the health effects of a recently discovered environmental hazard. Opinions may be widely different about the distribution of risks across the population. We study financial markets that suffice to reach efficient allocations in this situation. The problem is formalized in a general equilibrium economy with incomplete markets for individual and collective uncertainty. We show that ignorance of the probabilities describing individual risk leads to collective risk. Introducing an array of mutual insurance policies and of Arrow securities is shown to lead to Arrow-Debreu competitive allocations. By combining insurance contracts for individual risks and securities markets for collective risks, the proposed institutional framework economizes significantly on the number of markets required for efficiency. The computational complexity of a market equilibrium is reduced from an NP - complete (i.e. intractable) problem to one which depends polynomially on the number of households.
Financial Innovation and Endogenous Uncertainty in Incomplete Asset Markets

description: We study endogenous uncertainty stemming from the introduction of new financial assets, so as to evaluate the risks as well as the welfare gains of financial innovation. The introduction of financial assets to hedge individual risk can lead to the risk of default, which is a collective risk. The possibility of default represents endogenous uncertainty, since it depends on economic variables. A proper allocation of risk in the face of new states of endogenous uncertainty requires the introduction of a large number of additional new securities, without which the market is incomplete. We prove the existence of a general equilibrium with default, in which the agents recontract trading positions and prices in the states of default (Theorem 1). We establish the existence of an open set of general equilibrium economies, called complex economies, in which the pattern of trade is highly interconnected so that default by one agent leads to default by overwhelming majority of all other individuals (Theorem 2). We exhibit examples of complex economies in which the expected amount of default increases with the population (Proposition 3, Examples 3, and 4).
Why did big coffee seek regulation? A theory of dynamic monopsony pricing without commitment
Creators: name: McLaren, John
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1992
Subjects: Economics

description: Coffee beans must be roasted before they can be used by consumers. The roasting industry is highly concentrated, so that the large firms in it have market power over the beans they buy. This creates a potential time inconsistency problem: at planting time, roasters would like to promise planters a remunerative price but that will not be credible given roasters' incentives to push the price down at harvest time. It is argued that this problem survives in an infinite horizon; a folk theorem exists but it is fragile. Finally, it is shown that an intervention akin to the International Coffee Agreement (ICA) can help solve the time inconsistency problem. This may help explain the agitation of roasting firms for the establishment of the ICA, which would otherwise appear to run counter to their interests.

The Keiretsu puzzle

description: Why do large firms in Japan hold small percentages of stock in trading partners? A firm that holds stock in a trading partner weakens its own bargaining position, for a portion of its own gain from trade then includes a share interest in the partner's gain from trade. But precisely for this reason the firm can at any time penalize the trading partner by divesting its share interest. Cross-shareholding therefore strengthens the penalties for opportunism and this may be its purpose. Opportunism here means substituting products of lower quality than claimed or misrepresenting investments that lower the other party's costs. Econometric analysis of the pattern of cross-shareholding within Japan's keiretsu groups in 1980 reveals evidence that is consistent with this argument.

description: This study examines the process of career advancement among college-graduate employees in a Japanese and an American firm. It focuses on the question of how the chances of promotion are affected by the ranking or quality of educational institutions previously attended by the employees and the specialization in college. The data come from detailed employment records of career-track employees in a large Japanese and American organization in the financial and insurance sector. We examine the rate of promotions to various levels within the organizational hierarchy using the event history analysis technique. Although the effects of college quality and major on socio-economic attainment have been reported in previous studies, this study shows that their effects on promotion prospects within an organization depend on the levels of organizational hierarchy. The study concludes with a discussion of different interpretations of the effect of college quality and of how educational credentials are utilized in promotion decisions by employers in the two organizations.

description:

L'esigenza di stabilità del sistema finanziario ed economico scaturita all'esito della più rilevante delle recenti crisi finanziarie ha costituito la premessa della regolazione del capitale bancario elaborata dal Comitato di Basilea. Nel volgere di poco tempo, per rispondere a esigenze analoghe, il legislatore europeo ha rinnovato profondamente la regolazione bancaria europea con il risultato di dar vita al Single Rulebook. Una parte rilevante di questo strumento di armonizzazione è affidata al Regolamento 575/2013 in materia di requisiti prudenziali (Capital Requirement Regulation, inde CRR). Il CRR individua i requisiti di capitalizzazione delle banche determinando le regole per la formazione del capitale bancario e i rapporti di equilibrio tra i vari elementi del finanziamento bancario in base alla rischiosità delle attività. Il capitale primario di classe 1 (common equity tier 1, CET1) è una delle componenti fondamentali del capitale bancario. Lo studio espone gli elementi strutturali del capitale bancario e i requisiti che gli strumenti di capitale devono possedere per poter essere classificati come CET1. Inoltre, lo scritto evidenzia quei profili in cui la disciplina prudenziale si sovrappone a quella societaria e annota quei temi su cui si potrebbero soffermare ulteriori analisi del rapporto tra le discipline.

Exploring parental well-being : is childcare associated with parental well-being and what factors can enhance it
Creators: name: Kushlev, Kostadin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Recently, the idea that children can be detrimental to the well-being of their parents has gained popularity both amongst researchers and lay individuals. The previous research on parental well-being, however, has not provided any conclusive evidence in favour of this popular perception, and there is some research suggesting that parents might actually experience some benefits to their well-being as a result of having children. In addition, very little is known about the demographic and psychological factors that predict parental well-being. By overcoming various limitations of previous research designs, in the present research we examined whether taking care of children was associated with better cognitive and affective well-being outcomes. We further explored whether SES and child-centrism (i.e., the tendency of parents to put the well-being of their children before their own) were predictors of parental well-being. In a sample of 186 parents, we found that parents reported both more meaning and more positive affect when they were taking care of their children as compared to the rest of their day. We also showed that SES was negatively associated with the meaning parents experienced during childcare, a relationship that was mediated by the perceived opportunity cost of childcare. Finally, we demonstrated that when they were taking care of their children, more child-centric parents reported both more meaning and more positive affect than less child-centric parents. The implications of those findings for enhancing the well-being of parents as well as for improving future research on parental well-being are discussed.

description: DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are repaired by nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR). The C terminal binding protein–interacting protein (CtIP) is phosphorylated in G2 by cyclin-dependent kinases to initiate resection and promote HR. CtIP also exerts functions during NHEJ, although the mechanism phosphorylating CtIP in G1 is unknown. In this paper, we identify Plk3 (Polo-like kinase 3) as a novel DSB response factor that phosphorylates CtIP in G1 in a damage-inducible manner and impacts on various cellular processes in G1. First, Plk3 and CtIP enhance the formation of ionizing radiation-induced translocations; second, they promote large-scale genomic deletions from restriction enzyme-induced DSBs; third, they are required for resection and repair of complex DSBs; and finally, they regulate alternative NHEJ processes in Ku−/− mutants. We show that mutating CtIP at S327 or T847 to nonphosphorylatable alanine phenocopies Plk3 or CtIP loss. Plk3 binds to CtIP phosphorylated at S327 via its Polo box domains, which is necessary for robust damage-induced CtIP phosphorylation at S327 and subsequent CtIP phosphorylation at T847.

description: We investigate suprathermal ion dynamics in simple magnetized toroidal plasmas in the pres- ence of electrostatic turbulence driven by the ideal interchange instability. Turbulent fields from fluid simulations are used in the non-relativistic equation of ion motion to compute suprathermal tracer ion trajectories. Suprathermal ion dispersion starts with a brief ballistic phase, during which particles do not interact with the plasma, followed by a turbulence interaction phase. In this one simple system, we observe the entire spectrum of suprathermal ion dynamics, from subdiffusion to superdiffusion, depending on beam energy and turbulence amplitude. We estimate the duration of the ballistic phase and identify basic mechanisms during the interaction phase that determine the character of suprathermal ion dispersion upon the beam energy and turbulence fluctuation amplitude.

The WHO guideline on the integration of family planning (FP) and pre-exposure HIV prophylaxis (PrEP) to enhance the health of women and adolescent girls is reflected in the Zambia Consolidated Guidelines for Treatment and Prevention of HIV Infection, 2020. There is however a dearth of data on the integration of PrEP and FP in Zambia. We describe the integration of oral PrEP in FP services using the Evidence for Contraceptive Options and HIV Outcomes (ECHO) study experience at Kamwala District Health Center in Lusaka, Zambia. The provision of oral PrEP at Kamwala started in October 2017, lasting for ~11 months, and utilized the model where initial processes to offer PrEP were on-site followed by off-site referral to laboratory and PrEP provider services. The characteristics of 658 women who enrolled in ECHO at Kamwala are representative of women accessing FP services in Lusaka. About 644 of the enrollees were offered oral PrEP. The proportion of women accepting PrEP was low at 1.08% and the proportion of study visits at which PrEP was requested was also low at 0.57%. Those who accepted PrEP were above 20 years old, married, with at least primary education, sexual behavior, and risk comparable to decliners. The ECHO study experience indicates that the setup and integration of oral PrEP and FP services are feasible in the setting. However, uptake of PrEP was very low. Possible contributory factors were as follows: (1) timing of introduction of PrEP midway in the study, (2) PrEP being a new intervention, (3) challenges of autonomy of young women to include a daily pill into their lives and anticipated challenges to adherence because of fear of adverse events, (4) possible underdetermined risk due to use of an unvalidated risk assessment tool and assessment by health care provider vs. self-assessment, and (5) extra layer of challenges to negotiate due to needing for off-site referrals. Following these findings, we conclude that further research through demonstration projects of integration of oral PrEP and FP may provide solutions to low uptake. This information is critical for scaling up of integration HIV prevention services and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services.

L'elaborato si propone di analizzare la Sentenza della Corte d'appello in cui i giudici torinesi, riformando parzialmente la pronuncia del giudice di prime cure, pur escludendo la natura subordinata delle prestazioni fornite dai ciclofattoriri alla piattaforma Foodora, ne ravvisa le caratteristiche della etero-organizzazione e quindi l'applicabilità dell'art. 2 d.lgs. n. 81/2015. La sentenza offre anche l'occasione per una delle prime ricostruzioni giurisprudenziali della etero-organizzazione, di recente inserita nel contesto ordinamentale.

description: Ukraine which is experiencing the war is an exemplification of the state that requires urgent military, material (e.g.: reconstruction of infrastructure) and first of all humanitarian aid. The aim of the paper is to identify task for civil protections in the future war environment and consequently suggest how to organize the civil protection to face the new realities. The emergency/humanitarian operations in Ukraine prove that delivering any aid should be coordinated by the centers/units consisting of the representatives of all sectors responsible for providing security to citizens. This units would ensure higher effectiveness and minimize/eliminate tasks duplication. The method applied for this research is a case study of the Russian - Ukrainian war (2022) with a focus on civilians, critical infrastructure and assistance provided as the referral points of the analysis. The concept of ecosystem as a multi-actor network and the concept of fractal organization are the theoretical base for the analysis.

description: This paper investigates the behavior of intraday trades and quotes for individual stocks on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE). The TSE has no designated market makers and is further distinguished by daily and intraday price limits and conversion to limit orders of market order portions that exceed the size of the current quote. We examine the transaction and quote record for three firms for the first three months of 1990. Our findings suggest that the immediacy available (at least for small trades) in the market is high, despite the reliance on public limit orders to supply liquidity. When orders that would otherwise walk through the limit order book are converted into limit orders, execution is delayed, but some orders execute (at least in part) at more favorable prices. Holding order size constant, orders that are delayed in this fashion appear to have a larger information content. Finally, as a consequence of limit order cancellation and autocorrelation in arriving orders, the bid (offer) quote tends to deteriorate further after a sale (purchase).
Asymmetry to symmetry transition of Fano line-shape: Analytical derivation

description: An analytical derivation of Fano line-shape asymmetry ratio has been presented here for a general case. It is shown that Fano line-shape becomes less asymmetric as \q is increased and finally becomes completely symmetric in the limiting condition of q equal to infinity. Asymmetry ratios of Fano line-shapes have been calculated and are found to be in good consonance with the reported expressions for asymmetry ratio as a function of Fano parameter. Application of this derivation is also mentioned for explanation of asymmetry to symmetry transition of Fano line-shape in quantum confined silicon nanostructures.

description: Applying a common empirical approach to comparable industry-level data on production, trade, and labor markets for Japan and South Korea, this paper aims to investigate the impacts of outsourcing on different sectors of the labor market focusing on differences in educational attainment. While outsourcing measures used in previous studies only take account of the outsourcing of intermediate inputs and do not capture the outsourcing of the final production stage (assembly), this paper, utilizing the Asian International Input-Output Tables, incorporates the outsourcing of assembly, taking into account the growing importance of the international fragmentation of production in Asia. The main findings can be summarized as follows. First, reflecting the fact that outsourcing to Asia (particularly to China) has a negative impact on the demand for workers with lower education and a positive impact on the demand for workers with higher education, relative wage shares of workers by educational attainment have changed substantially both in Japan and Korea. Second, the overall effects of total outsourcing in terms of increasing (decreasing) the relative demand for workers with higher (lower)education have been insignificant in Korea partly because a substantial part of Korean outsourcing remained directed towards Japan, shifting labor demand away from workers with tertiary education towards workers with lower education. Third, both in Japan and Korea, the international outsourcing of assembly has a significant impact on skill upgrading, particularly in the electrical machinery sector.
Why Homelessness? Some Theory

description: "During the 1980's, a decade of relative prosperity, the number of people living in the streets, in subway stations, cardboard boxes, bus terminals, or severely derelict buildings probably grew substantially in most American cities. The number of people living in homeless shelters and welfare hotels definitely skyrocketed. By 1990, one person in 200 in New York City was living either on the streets or in a shelter, and each of Manhattan's major transportation terminals had the population of a medium-sized apartment building, but no apartments. Why did this happen? In this paper I will try to give an answer."

description: We present simulations of the compact galaxy group Stephan's Quintet (SQ) including magnetic fields, performed with the N-body/smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code \textsc{Gadget}. The simulations include radiative cooling, star formation and supernova feedback. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is implemented using the standard smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics (SPMHD) method. We adapt two different initial models for SQ based on Renaud et al. and Hwang et al., both including four galaxies (NGC 7319, NGC 7320c, NGC 7318a and NGC 7318b). Additionally, the galaxies are embedded in a magnetized, low density intergalactic medium (IGM). The ambient IGM has an initial magnetic field of $10^{-9}$ G and the four progenitor discs have initial magnetic fields of $10^{-9} - 10^{-7}$ G. We investigate the morphology, regions of star formation, temperature, X-ray emission, magnetic field structure and radio emission within the two different SQ models. In general, the enhancement and propagation of the studied gaseous properties (temperature, X-ray emission, magnetic field strength and synchrotron intensity) is more efficient for the SQ model based on Renaud et al., whose galaxies are more massive, whereas the less massive SQ model based on Hwang et al. shows generally similar effects but with smaller efficiency. We show that the large shock found in observations of SQ is most likely the result of a collision of the galaxy NGC 7318b with the IGM. This large group-wide shock is clearly visible in the X-ray emission and synchrotron intensity within the simulations of both SQ models. The order of magnitude of the observed synchrotron emission within the shock front is slightly better reproduced by the SQ model based on Renaud et al., whereas the distribution and structure of the synchrotron emission is better reproduced by the SQ model based on Hwang et al..

Japanese regulation of truck transport

description: Since 1951 the ministry of transport has been vested with sweeping authority to restrict entry and set prices in commercial trucking. Perhaps it could have used this authority to cartelize the industry. The weight of evidence holds that it did not do so. There is little to suggest that the standard price schedules which the MOT continues to publicize and periodically revise are anything more than suggestions, widely disregarded by commercial trucking firms. There are no economies or diseconomies of scale and firms have expanded until industry profits are exhausted. The changes in truck transport regulation introduced in 1991 were mainly directed at freeing a new activity, parcel delivery service, from regulatory constraints, and spreading some of the benefits to others in the industry. The principle remaining effect of truck transport regulation in Japan has been to impose a cost on private trucking operations (companies that use their own trucks to deliver their own merchandise) by legally barring them from also undertaking commercial business. If this restraint were to be lifted, the supply of trucking services would be enlarged and in the transition to a new (zero profit) equilibrium commercial truckers would suffer losses and some would exit.

description: We explore thermodynamics of the apparent horizon in $f(T)$ gravity with both equilibrium and non-equilibrium descriptions. We find the same dual equilibrium/non-equilibrium formulation for $f(T)$ as for $f(R)$ gravity. In particular, we show that the second law of thermodynamics can be satisfied for the universe with the same temperature of the outside and inside the apparent horizon.

description: The discovery of new objects in modern wide-field asteroid and comet surveys can be enhanced by first identifying observations belonging to known solar system objects. The assignation of new observations to a known object is an attribution problem that occurs when a least squares orbit already exists for the object but a separate fit is not possible to just the set of new observations. In this work we explore the strongly asymmetric attribution problem in which the existing least squares orbit is very well constrained and the new data are sparse. We describe an attribution algorithm that introduces new quality control metrics in the presence of strong biases in the astrometric residuals. The main biases arise from the stellar catalogs used in the reduction of asteroid observations and we show that a simple debiasing with measured regional catalog biases significantly improves the results. We tested the attribution algorithm using data from the PS1 survey that used the 2MASS star catalog for the astrometric reduction. We found small but statistically significant biases in the data of up to 0.1 arcsec that are relevant only when the observations reach the level of accuracy made possible by instruments like PS1. The false attribution rate was measured to be < 1/1,000 with a simple additional condition that can reduce it to zero while the attribution efficiency is consistent with 100%.
