description: We present a method to obtain a scalar potential at tree level from a pure gauge theory on nilmanifolds, a class of negatively-curved compact spaces, and discuss the spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism induced in the residual Minkowski space after compactification at low energy. We show that the scalar potential is completely determined by the gauge symmetries and the geometry of the compact manifold. In order to allow for simple analytic calculations we consider three extra space dimensions as the minimal example of a nilmanifold, therefore considering a pure Yang-Mills theory in seven dimensions.

description: The interpretability of models has become a crucial issue in Machine Learning because of algorithmic decisions' growing impact on real-world applications. Tree ensemble methods, such as Random Forests or XgBoost, are powerful learning tools for classification tasks. However, while combining multiple trees may provide higher prediction quality than a single one, it sacrifices the interpretability property resulting in "black-box" models. In light of this, we aim to develop an interpretable representation of a tree-ensemble model that can provide valuable insights into its behavior. First, given a target tree-ensemble model, we develop a hierarchical visualization tool based on a heatmap representation of the forest's feature use, considering the frequency of a feature and the level at which it is selected as an indicator of importance. Next, we propose a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulation for constructing a single optimal multivariate tree that accurately mimics the target model predictions. The goal is to provide an interpretable surrogate model based on oblique hyperplane splits, which uses only the most relevant features according to the defined forest's importance indicators. The MILP model includes a penalty on feature selection based on their frequency in the forest to further induce sparsity of the splits. The natural formulation has been strengthened to improve the computational performance of {mixed-integer} software. Computational experience is carried out on benchmark datasets from the UCI repository using a state-of-the-art off-the-shelf solver. Results show that the proposed model is effective in yielding a shallow interpretable tree approximating the tree-ensemble decision function.

Mexico City is plagued with both high ozone and aerosol concentrations. Ozone absorbs radiation in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, and aerosols can both absorb and scatter radiation in the UV spectrum. Urban chemistry models have largely neglected pollution effects on radiation. The Tropospheric Ultraviolet-Visible (TUV, version 4.0a) radiation model was compared to NOâ photolysis rates measured in Mexico City. Because of a lack of aerosol property data at the measurement sites, aerosol optical properties measured during Project Azteca, a ground based study on the northeast slope of Mexico City, were used in the model simulations. The maximum optical depths measured during Azteca are comparable to those measured at the research sites in the basin. The model compares well to the experimental data with a maximum of 10% deviation. More comprehensive aerosol and J(NOâ) measurements are needed to increase the confidence of this comparison.

description: Pulsars moving through ISM produce bow shocks detected in hydrogen H$α$ line emission. The morphology of the bow shock nebulae allows one to probe the properties of ISM on scales $\sim 0.01$ pc and smaller. We performed 2D RMHD modeling of the pulsar bow shock and simulated the corresponding H$α$ emission morphology. We find that even a mild spatial inhomogeneity of ISM density, $δρ/ρ\sim 1$, leads to significant variations of the shape of the shock seen in H$α$ line emission. We successfully reproduce the morphology of the Guitar Nebula. We infer quasi-periodic density variations in the warm component of ISM with a characteristic length of $\sim0.1$~pc. Structures of this scale might be also responsible for the formation of the fine features seen at the forward shock of Tycho SNR in X-rays. Formation of such short periodic density structures in the warm component of ISM is puzzling, and bow-shock nebulae provide unique probes to study this phenomenon.

Democracy, market freedom, economic *growth and income distribution

Publisher: name: ProQuest
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 38
subject: Economics

description: This dissertation empirically evaluates how democracy and market freedom impact economic outcomes, specifically, in terms of economic growth and level of wages. The four major questions addressed are first, how does market freedom affect growth? Second, how does democracy affect growth? Third, how does market freedom affect distribution? And fourth, how does democracy affect distribution? Related questions include whether particular aspects of market freedom, for example, the size of the government and the security of property rights, impact growth in different ways; and if democracy and market freedom's effects on growth are channeled through investment in physical or human capital. These broad and perhaps seemingly over simplistic questions are fleshed out by nesting them within an institutional context which highlights the vast differences between countries at various stages of development and the resulting impact on the answers to the above questions. The major findings are as follows. Market freedom consistently has a positive impact on growth; however, the extent of this impact varies positively with countries' income levels. Democracy has a positive impact on growth except in low income countries, where its effect is insignificant. Market freedom affects the income distribution between capital and labor in favor of capital only in high income countries; in middle and low income countries it has no effect. When market freedom is included as an additional variable in a regression on wages, democracy's effect on wages disappears in high and middle income countries; only remaining positive in low income countries. The absence of an effect of democracy in low income countries on growth combined with its positive impact on wages suggests that the redistributive effect of democracy in low income countries may be growth reducing.

description: Correlating the microstructure of an energy conversion device to its performance is often a complex exercise, notably in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) research. SOFCs combine multiple materials and interfaces that evolve in time due to high operating temperatures and reactive atmospheres. We demonstrate here that operando environmental transmission electron microscopy can simplify the identification of structure-property links in such systems. By contacting a cathode-electrolyte-anode cell to a heating and biasing microelectromechanical system in a single-chamber configuration, a direct correlation is found between the environmental conditions (O2 and H2 partial pressures, temperature), the cell voltage, and the microstructural evolution of the fuel cell, down to the atomic scale. The results shed new insights into the impact of the anode oxidation state and its morphology on the cell electrical properties.

I telescopi non hanno mai visto buchi neri stellari più massicci di due dozzine di volte la massa del Sole. Tuttavia sappiamo che esistono, avendone colta l’eco delle fusioni attraverso la rilevazione di onde gravitazionali. Ora un team di astronomi guidato da Peter Jonker dell’olandese Sron e della Radboud University ha scoperto che la spiegazione potrebbe stare in un bias osservativo che rende i telescopi tradizionali inadeguati a individuare buchi neri molto massicci
title: The conquest of infant mortality: the case of Hemsworth, 1871-1911
Creators: name: Davies, Linda Margaret
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2007

description: This thesis began as part of wider project undertaken by postgraduate students of the Open University looking at the decline of infant mortality during the period 1871-1911. The main primary source for this has been the Vaccination Registers which were produced to record vaccination of infants under the Vaccination Act of 1871. Under this Act vaccination against smallpox became compulsory for all infants. The registers therefore give us a unique opportunity to examine the data on all infants born during this period in the areas where the registers survive. The district selected for this thesis is the Hemsworth district in the West Riding of Yorkshire. In 1871 the economy of the district was purely based on agriculture, but by 1911 several deep coal mines had been sunk in the area which had led to a rapid and steep rise in the population. This rise in the population was accompanied by an increase in infant mortality which grew from below the mean for England and Wales in 1871, to above the mean by the late 1890s. Unlike most of the rest of the country the IMR in Hemsworth did not actually begin to decline until 1905. This thesis examines the causes of the high IMR through a comparison between a large village which grew to be a colliery township. South Kirkby, and those townships in the district which remained purely agricultural even after the sinking of the deep mines. A micro-study of one street in South Kirkby with a particularly high IMR facilitates a detailed examination of the households and the infant deaths which occurred there.
One-dimensional transport chemistry model with applications to Mexico City

A one-dimensional transport chemistry model with application to Mexico City is being developed in the Atmospheric Chemistry Division at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. The model for the photochemistry of the troposphere with observation concentration of NO₂, HO₂, HNO₃, CO, CH₄, HO, O¹D, H₂, and O₃ was presented. Data for NO, CO, CH₄ and NO₂ define the behavior of ozone. The model calculated the concentration of the chemical species and properties of the ambient air. The model examines the effect of the different species concentration on the production and desctruction of O₃ over five days. This model was developed during my participation in the Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research and Science (SOARS) program.
Reduced convergence and the local smoothness parameter: bridging two different descriptions of weak lensing amplification

description: Weak gravitational lensing due to the inhomogeneous matter distribution in the universe is an important systematic uncertainty in the use of standard candles in cosmology. There are two different descriptions of weak lensing amplification, one uses a local smoothness parameter $\tildeα$, the other uses reduced convergence $η= 1+ κ/|κ_{min}|$ (where $κ$ is convergence). The $\tildeα$ description involves Dyer-Roeder distance $D_A(\tildeα|z)$ ($\tildeα=1$ corresponds to a smooth universe); it is simple and convenient, and has been used by the community to illustrate the effect of weak lensing on point sources such as type Ia supernovae. Wang (1999) has shown that the $\tildeα$ description can be made realistic by allowing $\tildeα$ to be a local variable, the local smoothness parameter. The $η$ description has been used by Wang, Holz, & Munshi (2002) to derive a universal probability distribution (UPDF) for weak lensing amplification. In this paper, we bridge the two different descriptions of weak lensing amplification by relating the reduced convergence $η$ and the local smoothness parameter $\tildeα$. We give the variance of $\tildeα$ in terms of the matter power spectrum, thus providing a quantitative guidance to the use of Dyer-Roeder distances in illustrating the effect of weak lensing. The by-products of this work include a corrected definition of the reduced convergence, and simple and accurate analytical expressions for $D_A(\tildeα|z)$. Our results should be very useful in studying the weak lensing of standard candles.

Microfinance borrower default: Evidence from the Philippines
Creators: name: Coke, Rebecca Nell
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This research examines the factors influencing default decisions in group-lending based microfinance loans. The model of borrower default contributes to the understanding of rural finance by connecting the literature on household bargaining power with models of credit contracts. Specifically, the likelihood of default is a function of four main variables: business income, other family income, group sanctions, and intra-household bargaining power. A borrower-level survey of microfinance households in the Philippines collected in 2000 is used to test the implications of the loan default model. The survey shows that there are significant differences in the incidence of default in small loan sizes as compared to larger loan sizes. Default behavior changes over time and depends on the loan size. In general, borrowers will repay the first loan whenever possible, but incentives to repay diminish as loan size increases. This is a function of the sharply diminishing returns to capital in the microfinance businesses. The empirical tests of the survey data show that, for small loan sizes, the theoretical model is a good predictor of default behavior. Both microfinance business income and other family income are positively and significantly related to loan repayment. Also, as the relative household bargaining power of the borrower increases, the loan is more likely to be repaid. However, prediction of default behavior in large loan sizes is more problematic. The income from the microfinance business is still a significant determinant of repayment, but other family income is no longer significant. Also, variables measuring intra-household bargaining power are no longer significant predictors of repayment. Finally, the survey shows that the group sanctions are weak and have at best a small impact on the default decision.

description: Wheaton, Nathalie
description: The Illinois group, Chicago Area Medical Archivists (CAMA) is an informal group, based in the greater Chicagoland area, that was formed in 2002. As an informal network of colleagues, CAMA has provided support for both novice and experienced information professionals charged with organizing their institutions archives or answering internal and external medical history questions, often in addition to other duties. As an informal, open membership group of librarians, archivists, healthcare professionals, and others interested in Chicago area medical history, CAMA complements other professional membership organizations. Members work at various health and clinical specialty associations, academic medical centers, universities, hospitals, and are local historians as well as independent researchers. This presentation, updating and expanding on a poster first presented in 2019 at the Health Science Librarians of Illinois conference *, spotlighted some of the more measurable milestones of the group, such as its long-standing annual medical history symposia. Examples were shared of ways the loosely structured network has been able to persist and thrive over the years, in providing concrete information support and a venue for its members of varied backgrounds who have shared their skills, knowledge, and expertise. Participation of CAMA members in the Chicago Collections Consortium was also highlighted. Could CAMA be useful to special librarians and could its model work for other information groups? Perhaps this presentation will provide some ideas or inspiration.

description: The primary goal of the current correlational study was to examine relationships among the variables of forgiveness, religiosity, psychopathology, closeness, and social support as they relate to parental reaction to having a son or daughter come out as gay or lesbian. A secondary issue was that of the usefulness of the internet as a medium for data collection in psychological research. 242 gay and lesbian subjects aged 18--43 completed questionnaires to measure the variables of interest. Intrinsic religiosity was correlated with trait forgivingness. Trait forgivingness was associated with lower levels of depression, anxiety, and somatization. Stage and extent of incident-specific forgiveness were correlated with lower levels of depression and global severity. Social support was strongly associated with mental health. The roles of religiosity and forgiveness in mental health, independent of social support, were less clear. Internet data were found to be comparable to that obtained from in-person testing.

description: The adsorption of flexible and highly charged polyelectrolytes onto oppositely charged planar surfaces is investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The effect of image forces stemming from the dielectric discontinuity at the substrate interface is considered. The influence, at fixed polyelectrolyte volume fraction, of chain length and surface-charge density is also considered. A detailed structural study, including monomer and fluid charge distributions, is provided. It is demonstrated that image forces can considerably reduce the degree of polyelectrolyte adsorption and concomitantly inhibit the charge inversion of the substrate by polyelectrolytes.

description: We use the Gross-Pitaevskii equation to study Josephson tunneling between two weakly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates, which compose spin-1 bosons. We show that a rotating magnetic field on one side can produce a phase difference across the junction, resulting in an oscillatory tunneling spin current. Besides numerical calculation, we derive analytical results in two extreme cases, namely the low- and high-frequency limits: in the low-frequency limit (magnetic field rotates adiabatically), a non-Abelian geometric phase arises and leads to the oscillatory spin current. By sharp contrast, the physics is intrinsically different in the high-frequency limit, where an average Zeeman energy difference leads to an oscillatory spin current. This proposed apparatus should be promising for the future experimental search of spin superfluidity.

È quanto riportano gli autori di un articolo, uscito su Nature Astronomy, che descrive il tentativo – non riuscito – di “ascoltare” le onde sismiche prodotte dall’atterraggio di Perseverance su Marte attraverso i sensori della sonda InSight. I risultati ci dicono qualcosa di più sulla geologia del Pianeta rosso
Accelerated growth in outgoing links in evolving networks: deterministic vs. stochastic picture

description: In several real-world networks like the Internet, WWW etc., the number of links grow in time in a non-linear fashion. We consider growing networks in which the number of outgoing links is a non-linear function of time but new links between older nodes are forbidden. The attachments are made using a preferential attachment scheme. In the deterministic picture, the number of outgoing links $m(t)$ at any time $t$ is taken as $N(t)^θ$ where $N(t)$ is the number of nodes present at that time. The continuum theory predicts a power law decay of the degree distribution: $P(k) \propto k^{-1-\frac{2} {1-θ}}$, while the degree of the node introduced at time $t_i$ is given by $k(t_i,t) = t_i^θ[ \frac {t}{t_i}]^{\frac {1+θ}{2}}$ when the network is evolved till time $t$. Numerical results show a growth in the degree distribution for small $k$ values at any non-zero $θ$. In the stochastic picture, $m(t)$ is a random variable. As long as $$ is independent of time, the network shows a behaviour similar to the Barabási-Albert (BA) model. Different results are obtained when $$ is time-dependent, e.g., when $m(t)$ follows a distribution $P(m) \propto m^{-λ}$. The behaviour of $P(k)$ changes significantly as $λ$ is varied: for $λ> 3$, the network has a scale-free distribution belonging to the BA class as predicted by the mean field theory, for smaller values of $λ$ it shows different behaviour. Characteristic features of the clustering coefficients in both models have also been discussed.

Beyond elections: Lessons in democratization assistance from post -war Bosnia and Herzegovina
Creators: name: Herrmann-de Luca, Kristine Ann
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This analysis is based on a comparative study of democratization assistance to political parties in four central Bosnian municipalities in which the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) worked. Through extensive interviews and analyses of electoral data, it was concluded that assistance beyond elections is necessary to facilitate the development of political parties consistent with a democratic political system. Among the findings relevant for theories of political transition and for post-conflict peace-building operations are: political parties that are democratic in both character and name must precede the first post-conflict democratic elections; a more developmental approach to democratization assistance that enhances the behaviors, attitudes, and the constitutional aspects of democracy is more effective, while election- and institution-focused approaches that pay little attention to underlying capabilities and power relationships were less effective. The limited institution-building approach failed because the new institutions exercised no real power; power remained in the hands of the ruling nationalist parties. International support for removing obstructionists from office, marginalizing anti-democratic parties, building trust and tolerance, and improving capabilities of parties were more effective approaches for building a democratic political culture. The conclusion offers policy guidance for future post-conflict peace-building operations drawn from this study, with reference to the experiences of other post-conflict countries.

description: Conformal prediction is an assumption-lean approach to generating distribution-free prediction intervals or sets, for nearly arbitrary predictive models, with guaranteed finite-sample coverage. Conformal methods are an active research topic in statistics and machine learning, but only recently have they been extended to non-exchangeable data. In this paper, we invite survey methodologists to begin using and contributing to conformal methods. We introduce how conformal prediction can be applied to data from several common complex sample survey designs, under a framework of design-based inference for a finite population, and we point out gaps where survey methodologists could fruitfully apply their expertise. Our simulations empirically bear out the theoretical guarantees of finite-sample coverage, and our real-data example demonstrates how conformal prediction can be applied to complex sample survey data in practice.

description: A truncation of the SL(5) Exceptional Field Theory that allows to describe spacetimes of the form $M_4 \times M_7$ with the 4-form flux on $M_4$ is constructed. The resulting theory is used to test the recently proposed tri-vector generalisation of Yang-Baxter deformations applied to the AdS${}_4 \times \mathbb{S}^7$ solution in $d=11$ supergravity. We present two new supergravity solutions corresponding to non-abelian non-unimodular tri-vector deformations of AdS${}_4 \times \mathbb{S}^7$.

description: A long term study of the monthly incidence and intensity of infection of Anodemus sylvaticus (L) with Syphacia stroma (von Linstow 1884, Nematoda: Oxyuridae) and Nematospiroides dubius (Baylis 1926, Nematoda: Heligmosomidae) has been made. A systems analysis approach to the host parasite relationship has characterised S. stroma and N. dubius in terms of an r- and K- strategy respectively. The controls within the host parasite systems, of S. stroma: A. sylvaticus and N. dubius: A. sylvaticus have been considered with respect to the structure of the parasite populations, spatial distribution within the host and time lags inherent in the systems. Control by density independent environmental variables and the intrinsic density dependent mechanisms of competition, parasite pathogenicity and host immune response has also been considered. A period of stress and lowered immune response has been identified in the wild populations of A. sylvaticus. Systems analysis of egg production of a primary infection of N. dubius in CD1 mice from day 10-55 has revealed a changed pattern of gastrointestinal motility and cyclicity in egg production and size. A syndrome of low intensity of infection, reduced fecundity and non viability of eggs associated with a possible bacterial contaminant in the bedding material has been described for N. dubius in ASH/CSI S.P.F. mice. Manipulation of the host parasite system with oxytetracycline hydrochloride has emphasised the importance of microbial environment to N. dubius.

Endemic
[Holotype: CASC; ♀ San José Island, Baja California Sur; May 28, 1921]
Ayala et al. (1996) report Centris vanduzeei in BC and BCS; however, we have neither collected nor found historical records of this species in BC. In BCS, this species has been reported in the Gulf Coast, and Sacrocauluscent Shrubland regions with preserved specimens in the INHS and CASC (Cockerell 1923; GBIF 2023). The BBPT collected two males in the Magdalena Plains in BCS in March 2021 (1 ♂ MABC; 1 ♂ ECOAB). See fig. 90.
