description: Mortgage foreclosure has broad social costs that impact all participants in housing markets. Due to these costs, and the reluctance of mortgage servicers to independently renegotiate with borrowers, governments often provide direct incentives to servicers for granting debt forgiveness to financially distressed borrowers, instead of foreclosing on their homes. This dissertation investigates economic frictions that impede the provision of debt relief to residential mortgage borrowers experiencing financial distress. In the first chapter, I highlight the contribution of this dissertation to the literature, provide an overview of the mortgage foreclosure crisis in the United States, illustrate the central economic forces of this project with a theoretical model, and describe the residential mortgage data used in my empirical work. The theoretical model focuses on how information asymmetry between a mortgage servicer and his borrowers can lead to market unraveling, in the sense that no borrower receives debt relief even if granting it would be social-welfare improving. The chapter concludes with reduced-form evidence on the causal effect of debt relief through loan-term modifications on the probability of foreclosure. In the second chapter, I present an empirical model of foreclosure prevention and report estimated results based on my sample. Consistent with recent work in the economics literature, my results also suggest that historical estimates for the social costs of foreclosure are too low, while also highlighting how information asymmetry can lead to the misallocation of debt relief. I find that there are significant benefits in correctly targeted relief for both borrowers and their servicers. Nevertheless, I also find that the social loss from failing to grant a modification that would prevent a foreclosure is significantly larger than the private loss for a loan servicer. Conversely, the social loss from incorrectly granting a modification to a borrower that did not need it is much smaller than the private loss faced by the servicer. The relationship between private and social losses of modification highlight how servicer incentives can impede socially beneficial debt relief to borrowers. In the third chapter, I leverage my results to study the effectiveness of the Federal Government's Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), which was launched in 2009 in response to mounting U.S. foreclosures. My empirical framework allows me to quantify the effects of government incentive payments granted to loan servicers and to assess the level of relief granted under the program.

description: Human Robot Collaboration (HRC) has opened opportunities of task sharing between human and robots under an open workspace in manufacturing environment. Traditional task sharing philosophy in human robot teams have followed the leftover approach, where human is assigned task which are difficult for robot to perform. Contemporary research is now increasingly centered on developing flexible and adaptive task allocation strategies that ensure equitable sharing. However, majority of the algorithms present today still lack the focus on overall human well-being. The aim of this work is to consider human factors in task allocation. It addresses this in three folds: first addressing the task analysis and assignment that includes a thorough study of the factors to be considered for task allocation and the methodology used. The factors for analysis range in the focus from human, robot, process, and production perspective. Secondly, visualizing the task allocation strategy using digital tool Ema Work designer and finally the evaluation framework for ergonomics. This study therefore develops an algorithm and evaluation method designed to consider human factors in task allocation. The evaluation framework was tested on a ski assembly process, showcasing comparison of the ergonomic evaluation: physical and cognitive in two different case scenarios. Physical ergonomics details on the Ergonomic Assessment Worksheet (EAWS) score pertaining to load, posture, and repositioning score. The cognitive ergonomics framework defines a Mental Workload Index (MWLI) considering task demand, level of performance, level of resources, level of information processing, and level of decision making.

description: We perform time-dependent, spatially-resolved simulations of blazar emission to evaluate several flaring scenarios related to magnetic-field amplification and enhanced particle acceleration. The code explicitly accounts for light-travel-time effects and is applied to flares observed in the flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) PKS 0208-512, which show optical/γ-ray correlation at some times, but orphan optical flares at other times. Changes in both the magnetic field and the particle acceleration efficiency are explored as causes of flares. Generally, external Compton emission appears to describe the available data better than a synchrotron self-Compton scenario, and in particular orphan optical flares are difficult to produce in the SSC framework. X-ray soft-excesses, γ-ray spectral hardening, and the detections at very high energies of certain FSRQs during flares find natural explanations in the EC scenario with particle acceleration change. Likewise, optical flares with/without γ-ray counterparts can be explained by different allocations of energy between the magnetization and particle acceleration, which may be related to the orientation of the magnetic field relative to the jet flow. We also calculate the degree of linear polarization and polarization angle as a function of time for a jet with helical magnetic field. Tightening of the magnetic helix immediately downstream of the jet perturbations, where flares occur, can be sufficient to explain the increases in the degree of polarization and a rotation by >= 180 degree of the observed polarization angle, if light-travel-time effects are properly considered.

description: Human mobility is influenced by environmental change and natural disasters. Researchers have used trip distance distribution, radius of gyration of movements, and individuals' visited locations to understand and capture human mobility patterns and trajectories. However, our knowledge of human movements during natural disasters is limited owing to both a lack of empirical data and the low precision of available data. Here, we studied human mobility using high-resolution movement data from individuals in New York City during and for several days after Hurricane Sandy in 2012. We found the human movements followed truncated power-law distributions during and after Hurricane Sandy, although the β value was noticeably larger during the first 24 hours after the storm struck. Also, we examined two parameters: the center of mass and the radius of gyration of each individual's movements. We found that their values during perturbation states and steady states are highly correlated, suggesting human mobility data obtained in steady states can possibly predict the perturbation state. Our results demonstrate that human movement trajectories experienced significant perturbations during hurricanes, but also exhibited high resilience. We expect the study will stimulate future research on the perturbation and inherent resilience of human mobility under the influence of natural disasters. For example, mobility patterns in coastal urban areas could be examined as tropical cyclones approach, gain or dissipate in strength, and as the path of the storm changes. Understanding nuances of human mobility under the influence of disasters will enable more effective evacuation, emergency response planning and development of strategies and policies to reduce fatality, injury, and economic loss.

description: Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is a common way to study the sources of variation in a high-dimensional data set. Typically, the leading principal components are used to understand the variation in the data or to reduce the dimension of the data for subsequent analysis. The remaining principal components are ignored since they explain little of the variation in the data. However, evolutionary biologists gain important insights from these low variation directions. Specifically, they are interested in directions of low genetic variability that are biologically interpretable. These directions are called genetic constraints and indicate directions in which a trait cannot evolve through selection. Here, we propose studying the subspace spanned by low variance principal components by determining vectors in this subspace that are simplest. Our method and accompanying graphical displays enhance the biologist's ability to visualize the subspace and identify interpretable directions of low genetic variability that align with simple directions.

description: This study describes the distribution of intravenously injected polyacrylic acid (PAA) coated γ-Fe2O3 NPs (10 mg kg-1) at the organ, cellular and subcellular levels in healthy BALB/cJ mice and in parallel addresses the effects of NP injection on kidney function, blood pressure and vascular contractility. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed accumulation of NPs in the liver within 1h after intravenous infusion, accommodated by intracellular uptake in endothelial and Kupffer cells with subsequent intracellular uptake in renal cells, particularly the cytoplasm of the proximal tubule, in podocytes and mesangial cells. The renofunctional effects of NPs were evaluated by arterial acid-base status and measurements of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after instrumentation with chronically indwelling catheters. Arterial pH was 7.46 and 7.41 in mice 0.5 h after injections of saline or NP, and did not change over the next 12h. In addition, the injections of NP did not affect arterial PCO2 or [HCO3-] either. Twenty-four and 96h after NP injections, the GFR averaged 11.0 and 13.0 ml min-1 g-1, respectively, values which were statistically comparable with controls (14.0 and 14.0 ml min-1 g-1). Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) decreased 12-24h after NP injections (111 vs 123 min-1) associated with a decreased contractility of small mesenteric arteries revealed by myography to characterise endothelial function. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that accumulation of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles does not affect kidney function in healthy mice but temporarily decreases blood pressure.

Non equilibrium density profiles in Lorentz tubes with thermostated boundaries

Year: 2014

description: We consider a long Lorentz tube with absorbing boundaries. Particles are injected to the tube from the left end. We compute the equilibrium density profiles in two cases: the semi-infinite tube (in which case the density is constant) and a long finite tube (in which case the density is linear). In the latter case, we also show that convergence to equilibrium is well described by the heat equation. In order to prove these results, we obtain new results for the Lorentz particle which are of independent interest. First, we show that a particle conditioned not to hit the boundary for a long time converges to the Brownian meander. Second, we prove several local limit theorems for particles having a prescribed behavior in the past.

description: This study aims to test the validity of a taxonomy that represents the hazards to which aeronautical mechanics are exposed. The taxonomy was developed and presented in a previous study [l]. We employed an open card sorting method for comparing our taxonomy with the combined one of 10 engineers and 20 aeronautical mechanics. The results were interpreted using dendrograms generated with the Optimal Sort. These show that the taxonomy developed in the previous study is consistent with the categories established by the participants. Nevertheless, the participants were more precise. Also, engineers and mechanics share a common vision.

We discuss what it would take to find gluinos at hadron supercolliders, including the LHC at 14 TeV center of mass energy, and future pp colliders at 100 TeV and 200 TeV. We generalize the discussion by re-expressing the search capacity in terms of gluino to lightest superpartner mass ratio, and apply results to other scenarios, such as gauge mediation and mirage mediation.

Multiwavelength modelling the SED of supersoft X-ray sources. I. The method and examples
Creators: name: Skopal, Augustin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Radiation of supersoft X-ray sources (SSS) dominates both the supersof X-ray and the far-UV domain. A fraction of their radiation can be reprocessed into the thermal nebular emission, seen in the spectrum from the near-UV to longer wavelengths. In the case of symbiotic X-ray binaries (SyXBs) a strong contribution from their cool giants is indicated in the optical/near-IR. In this paper I introduce a method of multiwavelength modelling the spectral energy distribution (SED) of SSSs from the supersoft X-rays to the near-IR with the aim to determine the physical parameters of their composite spectra. The method is demonstrated on two extragalactic SSSs, the SyXB RX J0059.1-7505 (LIN 358) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), RX J0439.8-6809 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and two Galactic SSSs, the classical nova RX J2030.5+5237 (V1974 Cyg) during its supersoft phase and the classical symbiotic star RX J1601.6+6648 (AG Dra) during its quiescent phase. The multiwavelength approach overcomes the problem of the mutual dependence between the temperature, luminosity and amount of absorption, which appears when only the X-ray data are fitted.Thus, the method provides an unambiguous solution. It was found that selection of the model (a blackbody or an atmospheric model) is not of crucial importance in fitting the global X-ray/IR SED. The multiwavelength modelling of the SED of SSSs is essential in determining their physical parameters.

description: Aerospace applications often involve gas flows that are particularly difficult to reproduce or measure experimentally, and include different regimes where usual numerical simulation methods can become inaccurate or computationally expensive. Therefore, a multiscale method to simulate gas flows, based on an exponential differencing of the BG K operator, is presented here. It is second-order accurate and preserves asymptotic limits towards both continuum and free-molecular limits. Furthermore, its mathematical structure allowed for an implementation as both a discrete velocity and a particle-based method sharing the aforementioned properties. The accuracy and performance of this scheme is validated on several test cases.
Influence of the electron density on the thickness-dependent energy gap oscillations in superconducting metallic nanofilms

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: The thickness-dependent energy gap oscillations in the metallic nanofilms are investigated by the use of the self-consistent numerical solutions of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. It is shown, that the oscillations are induced by the quasi-particle energy quantization triggered by the confinement of electrons in the direction perpendicular to the sample. We have analyzed, how the changes in the electron density of states ($n_e$) and the electron-phonon coupling constant ($g$) influence the amplitude of the considered oscillations. It has been found, that the increase in $n_e$ and the decrease in $g$, can lead to a significant reduction of the oscillations amplitude. As a result, for the values of the mentioned parameters corresponding to some of the realistic situations the thickness-dependent superconducting gap oscillations can be almost completely suppressed.

description: The welding and flame-cutting process in the steel construction are commonly used, especially for the bridge structure. Some experiments about welding and cutting have been done separately by some researchers. The results from the experiments were also compared with the results from the numerical simulation under 3D or 2D models. The agreements between those results are as good as they predicted. Therefore, the numerical simulation is a better way to analyze the quality of the steel construction after welding and cutting without time-consuming and a large amount of cost. But there are only a few research about the numerical simulation and the some of them are aimed to verify the experiments. In this study, the calculation about the residual stresses after welding and thermo-cutting are considered from 3D-model into 2D-Model. The heat source model is simply regarded as curves of time and welding energy with the algorithm methods. And no matter the change of the parameters of the model and the heat source, the heat transfer and the residual stresses can be calculated with the 2D models as fast as possible. By the means of the finite element software Abaqus, the I-profiles are easy to receive the job results with the input parameters. The influence of the welding and cutting process are visual and direct.
A Look at Real‐World Transition‐Metal Thermochemistry and Kinetics with Local Hybrid Functionals

description: Local hybrid functionals (LHs) use a position-dependent admixture of exact exchange in real space, which has previously been shown to offer various advantages over global hybrids and the potential to construct functionals with wide applicability. While main-group thermochemistry and kinetics and other properties have already been studied extensively, no broad and systematic investigation for the energetics of transition-metal complexes has been reported so far for LHs. To close this gap, we evaluate eight LHs for three previously reported test sets on barrier heights and reaction energies of real-world transition metal complexes, in comparison with several other rung-4 hybrid functionals. The recent LH20t-D4 method emerges as the top-performing functional for the overall benchmark, comparable to the simpler TPSS0-D4 and slightly before the more complex range-separated ωB97M-V. But LH20t-D4 and ωB97M-V perform much better for main-group energetics, making them overall more reliable tools to study organometallic reaction mechanisms. Given also its previously observed excellent performance for mixed-valence systems, LH20t-D4 is thus a widely applicable functional in both main-group and transition-metal chemistry, while also providing convincing accuracy for many spectroscopic properties. The earlier LH14t-calPBE-D4 local hybrid also performs well, while some first-generation LHs fall behind.

description: PbZr_{1-x}Ti_xO_3 (PZT) and Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{1-x}Ti_xO_3 (PMN-$x$PT) are complex lead-oxide perovskites that display exceptional piezoelectric properties for pseudorhombohedral compositions near a tetragonal phase boundary. In PZT these compositions are ferroelectrics, but in PMN-xPT they are relaxors because the dielectric permittivity is frequency dependent and exhibits non-Arrhenius behavior. We show that the nanoscale structure unique to PMN-xPT and other lead-oxide perovskite relaxors is absent in PZT and correlates with a greater than 100% enhancement of the longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient in PMN-xPT relative to that in PZT. By comparing dielectric, structural, lattice dynamical, and piezoelectric measurements on PZT and PMN-xPT, two nearly identical compounds that represent weak and strong random electric field limits, we show that quenched (static) random fields establish the relaxor phase and identify the order parameter.

Like in prepare & measure QKD, the use of other protocols in MDI setting would be advantageous in some practical situations. In this paper, we consider SARG04 protocol in MDI setting. The prepare & measure SARG04 is proven to be able to generate a key up to two-photon emission events. In MDI setting we show that the key generation is possible from the event with single or two-photon emission by a party and single-photon emission by the other party, but the two-photon emission event by both parties cannot contribute to the key generation. On the contrary to prepare & measure SARG04 protocol where the experimental setup is exactly the same as BB84, the measurement setup for SARG04 in MDI setting cannot be the same as that for BB84 since the measurement setup for BB84 in MDI setting induces too many bit errors. To overcome this problem, we propose two alternative experimental setups, and we simulate the resulting key rate. Our study highlights the requirements that MDI QKD poses on us regarding with the implementation of a variety of QKD protocols.

description: Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, many countries have pledged to end or restrict their oil and gas imports to curtail Moscow’s revenues and hinder its war effort. Thus, the European ministers agreed to trigger a cap on the gas price. To detect the importance of the price cap for gas, we provide a mixture representation for the gas price to detect the presence of outliers made by a truncated normal distribution and a uniform one. We focus our analysis on Germany and Italy, which are major Russian gas importers by exploiting the response of the different commodities to a gas shock through a Bayesian vector autoregressive (VAR) model. As a result, including a lower gas price cap smooths the impact of a gas shock on electricity prices, while not considering a price cap will increase exponentially this impact.

description: When a Josephson junction array is built with hybrid superconductor/metal/superconductor junctions, a quantum phase transition from a superconducting to a two-dimensional (2D) metallic ground state is predicted to happen upon increasing the junction normal state resistance. Owing to its surface-exposed 2D electron gas and its gate-tunable charge carrier density, graphene coupled to superconductors is the ideal platform to study the above-mentioned transition between ground states. Here we show that decorating graphene with a sparse and regular array of superconducting nanodisks enables to continuously gate-tune the quantum superconductor-to-metal transition of the Josephson junction array into a zero-temperature metallic state. The suppression of proximity-induced superconductivity is a direct consequence of the emergence of quantum fluctuations of the superconducting phase of the disks. Under perpendicular magnetic field, the competition between quantum fluctuations and disorder is responsible for the resilience at the lowest temperatures of a superconducting glassy state that persists above the upper critical field. Our results provide the entire phase diagram of the disorder and magnetic field-tuned transition and unveil the fundamental impact of quantum phase fluctuations in 2D superconducting systems.

description: Assessing model fit is a key component of structural equation modeling (SEM); however, measures of fit in Bayesian SEM remain limited. Recently, versions of frequentist fit indices have been adapted for use in Bayesian models, but the impact of prior information on these fit indices remains unknown. This simulation study investigates the performance of three fit indices (RMSEA, CFI, and TLI) in Bayesian confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) across a variety of prior specifications that included different degrees of informativeness and inaccuracy. Results show that Bayesian fit indices are impacted by prior choice, particularly when sample sizes are small. We discuss implications of assessing model fit with Bayesian fit indices and provide recommendations for applied researchers.

SOUNDING ROCKETS

description: The CNES and the PERSEUS project are at the service of students in order to help them become game changers. The ambitious ground and flight segments implemented in the program both contribute to the development of innovative technologies, and are in line with the CNES strategy for space transportation systems. The long term objective of the PERSEUS project is to launch a bi-fluid rocket with an apogee of 5km and retrieve for reuse, a LOX/CH4 propelled rocket through DREM1-ON challenge. Over the next 2 years the PERSEUS project will focus on the project\'s next generation of sounding rockets, called ASTREOS. This is a demonstrator of a recoverable first stage, including the associated ground segment. The ground segment, or \"Stage 0\", is a major part of the overall AST REOS development and design. Due to the bi-liquid propulsion (ethanol and liquid oxygen in first version of ASTREOS) used for the first time in the framework of PERSEUS, fluid ground support equipment (FGSE) has been designed with the help of our partner Ariane Group and its expertise in Vernon site.

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We overview a new mechanism whereby classical Riemannian geometry emerges out of the differential structure on quantum spacetime, as extension data for the classical algebra of differential forms. Outcomes for physics include a new formula for the standard Levi-Civita connection, a new point of view of the cosmological constant as a very small mass for the graviton of around $10^{-33}$ev, and a weakening of metric-compatibility in the presence of torsion. The same mechanism also provides a new construction for quantum bimodule connections on quantum spacetimes and a new approach to the quantum Ricci tensor.

description: We report on electric-field and temperature dependent transport measurements in exfoliated thin crystals of Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$ topological insulator. At low temperatures ($< 50$ K) and when the chemical potential lies inside the bulk gap, the crystal resistivity is strongly temperature dependent, reflecting inelastic scattering due to the thermal activation of optical phonons. A linear increase of the current with voltage is obtained up to a threshold value at which current saturation takes place. We show that the activated behavior, the voltage threshold and the saturation current can all be quantitatively explained by considering a single optical phonon mode with energy $\hbar Ω\approx 8$ meV. This phonon mode strongly interacts with the surface states of the material and represents the dominant source of scattering at the surface at high electric fields.

description: This document provides a high-level summary of the ground-motion characterisation model component of the 2022 New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model. This includes: development of a New-Zealand-specific ground-motion database; consideration of alternative empirical ground-motion models based on global datasets; two new New-Zealand-specific models that were developed as part of the project; comparisons of the alternative models against observational data; and considered modifications of the ‘base’ models to account for near-fault directivity, back-arc attenuation for subduction earthquakes and treatment of partial correlation within epistemic uncertainty of the considered ‘backbone’ models. Finally, some limitations of the model, resulting from a lack of available datasets and/or timeframes, are discussed in the context of potential immediate avenues for further work. (The authors)
