description: This study characterises rates of physical and sexual violence against adolescent girls and compares rates of violence against girls who are enrolled versus unenrolled in school, to contribute to an understanding of the relative risks associated with school attendance. We look at rates of violence across countries that together represent 80 per cent of sub-Saharan Africa’s girls aged 15–19. The analysis shows high rates of violence overall: 28.8 per cent of girls report having experienced physical or sexual violence. However, in none of the 20 countries do adolescent girls enrolled in school report a statistically significantly higher likelihood of having been sexually assaulted than girls not enrolled in schools. Another source of data sees significantly higher rates in just one country. This pattern of results is robust to the inclusion of a range of control variables, and to analysis using different sub-groups. The evidence on physical violence is more mixed. Girls face significant rates of physical and sexual violence whether they are enrolled in school or not. These findings underline the importance of confronting violence against girls both in school and in the community, with tailored programs appropriate to each setting.

description: The underlying Fermi surface is a key concept for strongly-interacting electron models and has been introduced to generalize the usual notion of the Fermi surface to generic (superconducting or insulating) systems. By using improved correlated wave functions that contain backflow and Jastrow terms, we examine the two-dimensional $t{-}t^\prime$ Hubbard model and find a non-trivial renormalization of the topology of the underlying Fermi surface close to the Mott insulator. Moreover, we observe a sharp crossover region, which arises from the metal-insulator transition, from a weakly interacting metal at small coupling to a resonating valence-bond superconductor at intermediate coupling. A violation of the Luttinger theorem is detected at low hole dopings.

Topological mobile robot localization using fast vision techniques
Creators: name: Blaer, Paul S.

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2002
Subjects: Robotics

description: In this paper we present a system for topologically localizing a mobile robot using color histogram matching of omnidirectional images. The system is intended for use as a navigational tool for the Autonomous Vehicle for Exploration and Navigation of Urban Environments (AVENUE) mobile robot. Our method makes use of omnidirectional images which are acquired from the robot's on-board camera. The method is fast and rotation invariant. Our tests have indicated that normalized color histograms are best for an outdoor environment while normalization is not required for indoor work. The system quickly narrows down the robot's location to one or two regions within the much larger test environment. Using this regional localization information, other vision systems that we have developed can further localize the robot.

New approaches and methods of preliminary processing of EEG signals of imaginary motor movements are presented. New methods of classification of EEG patterns of imaginary motor movements have been developed: based on convolutional neural networks, a modified hierarchical classifier and a classifier based on Riemann geometry. The possibility of practical use of BCIs based on imaginary movements for controlling robotic devices has been demonstrated.

description: We are building a system that can automatically acquire 3D range scans and 2D images to build geometrically correct, texture mapped 3D models of urban environments. This paper deals with the problem of automatically registering the 3D range scans with images acquired at other times and with unknown camera calibration and location. The method involves the utilization of parallelism and orthogonality constraints that naturally exist in urban environments. We present results for building a texture mapped 3-D model of an urban building.

description: Lo studio del comportamento criminale dal punto di vista economico è per lo più ricondotto al canone della razionalità. In questa introduzione al numero speciale su criminalità ed economia, spieghiamo perché può essere opportuno allontanarsi dalla visione estremamente diffusa che riconduce l'azione criminale all'approccio microeconomico e, in particolare, alla logica delle scelte d’impresa, per assumere il punto di vista di chi sceglie di studiare la criminalità come struttura di governance. In particolare, è importante riconoscere che le attività delle organizzazioni criminali che ricadono principalmente in ambiti economici e politici assumono sempre una dimensione internazionale.

The study of criminal behaviour from the point of view of economics is mostly brought back to the canon of rationality. In this introduction to the special issue on crime and economy, we explain why it can be appropriate to move away from the extremely widespread vision that leads criminal actions to the microeconomic approach and, in particular, to the logic of business choices, to assume the point of view of those who choose to study crime as a governance structure. In particular, it is important to recognise that the activities of criminal organisations which have the main economic and political repercussions always take on an international dimension. This is an extremely important issue for economic policy in Europe.

description: Questo lavoro analizza il possibile legame in Italia tra la disuguaglianza dei redditi e il livello di illegalità presente in due ambiti della vita sociale ed economica (omicidi e lavoro irregolare). I risultati di un’analisi econometrica a livello regionale mostrano che la presenza di lavoro irregolare e di un elevato tasso di omicidi è responsabile di una diminuzione complessiva del reddito, particolarmente pronunciata per i redditi bassi, con inevitabile aumento della disuguaglianza.
This paper analyses the possible link between income inequality and the level of illegality present in two areas of social and economic life (homicides and irregular work) in Italy. The results of an econometric analysis at the regional level show that the presence of irregular work and a high rate of homicides are responsible for an overall decrease in income, which is particularly pronounced for low incomes, leading to an increase in inequality.

Coexistence of long-range and algebraic correlations for short-range valence-bond wave functions in three dimensions

description: We investigate nearest-neighbor valence-bond wave functions on bipartite three-dimensional lattices. By performing large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, we find that long-range magnetic order coexists with dipolar four-spin correlations on the cubic lattice, this latter feature being reminiscent of the Coulomb phase for classical dimers on the same lattice. Similar properties are found for the lower-coordination diamond lattice. While this suggests that the coexistence of magnetic order and dipolar four-spin correlations is generic for bipartite three-dimensional lattices, we show that simple generalizations of these wave functions can encode different ordering behaviors.

description: We examine the competition of the observed stripe spin density wave (SDW) with other commensurate and incommensurate SDW phases in a two-band model of the pnictides. Starting from this microscopic model, we rigorously derive an expansion of the free energy in terms of the different order parameters at the mean-field level. We show that three distinct commensurate SDW states are possible and study their appearance as a function of the doping and the electronic structure. We show that the stripe phase is generally present, but its extent in the phase diagram depends strongly upon the number of hole Fermi pockets that are nested with the electron Fermi pockets. Electron pockets competing for the same portion of a hole pocket play a crucial role. We discuss the relevance of our results for the antiferromagnetism of the pnictides.

description: Un fattore che ha ritardato la crescita nei Balcani occidentali è l’alto livello di corruzione. L’instabilità politica e l’inefficienza dei governi hanno generato corruzione, che frena la crescita del PIL e deprime gli investimenti privati e quelli esteri. I risultati dell’analisi empirica suggeriscono che la corruzione ha un impatto positivo ma molto debole sulla crescita reale del PIL pro capite, forse perché un basso livello di corruzione può abbattere la burocrazia e ciò può stimolare la crescita economica. Esaminiamo inoltre l’impatto delle componenti della spesa pubblica sulla corruzione. I risultati in questo caso suggeriscono che la spesa pubblica potrebbe avere un impatto positivo sulla crescita della corruzione, ma il risultato in questo caso non è robusto.

One factor that has delayed growth in the Western Balkans is the high level of corruption. Political instability and inefficiency of governments has generated corruption, which halts GDP growth and depresses private and foreign investment. The results of the empirical analysis suggest that corruption has a positive but very weak impact on real GDP per capita growth, perhaps a low level of corruption can reduce bureaucracy and this can stimulate economic growth. We also analyze the impact of the components public spending on corruption. The results in this case suggest that public spending could have a positive impact on the growth of corruption, but the result in this case is not robust.

description: Modifications to the vortex shedding dynamics from a circular cylinder of diameter D are investigated experimentally in a free surface water channel. The vortex shedding is modified via the placement of a control cylinder of diameter \textit{D}/8 in the vicinity of the main cylinder. A methodology is presented to link changes in the wake dynamics and loading on the main cylinder. The analysis combines Fourier Modal Decomposition, Proper Orthogonal Decomposition, and phase averaging. Based on differences in the wake dynamics, the influence of the control cylinder can be classified according to its placement: (i) in the free stream outside the main cylinder shear layer; (ii) within the main cylinder shear layer; and (iii) in the recirculation region. While fluctuating lift is significantly reduced in all cases, the mean and fluctuating drag are affected differently. A generalized model-free method to optimize parameters for open-loop and closed-loop control in fluid mechanics applications is then presented. A multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) is employed to minimize the oscillating lift caused by vortex shedding from the main cylinder. The control cylinder is prescribed a position as well as a periodic motion in two dimensions. The MOEA efficiently handles the larger optimization parameter space. The first objective of the algorithm is to minimize the fluctuating force coefficient $C_{L_{RMS}}$, while the second objective is to minimize of the actuation power required to drive the control cylinder. The final solution suppresses $C_{L_{RMS}}$ by over 90\% using near-zero actuation power. Further, the MOEA automatically provides a sensitivity study as to the influence of the different parameters and also in which spatial area the greatest influence is expressed.

description: A noncommutative solenoid is the C*-algebra $C^\ast(\Q_N^2,σ)$ where $\Q_N$ is the group of the $N$-adic rationals twisted and $σ$ is a multiplier of $\Q_N^2$. In this paper, we use techniques from noncommutative topology to classify these C*-algebras up to *-isomorphism in terms of the multipliers of $\Q_N^2$. We also establish a necessary and sufficient condition for simplicity of noncommutative solenoids, compute their K-theory and show that the $K_0$ groups of noncommutative solenoids are given by the extensions of $\Z$ by $\Q_N$. We give a concrete description of non-simple noncommutative solenoids as bundle of matrices over solenoid groups, and we show that irrational noncommutative solenoids are real rank zero AT C*-algebras.

description: Retroelements are mobile elements that are capable of transposing into new loci within genomes via an RNA intermediate. Various types of retroelements have been identified from both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. This dissertation includes four individual projects that focus on using bioinformatic tools to analyse retroelements in bacteria, especially group II introns and diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs). The introductory Chapter I gives an overview of several newly-identified retroelements in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. In Chapter II, a general search for bacterial RTs from the GenBank DNA sequenced database was performed using automated methods. It not only enlarged the collection of bacterial reverse transcriptases (RTs), but also revealed several new classes of RTs. In Chapter III, another automated search was performed to identify group II introns. All predicted introns were automatically folded and then manually refined. Other information, such as multiple copies and non-standard intron organisations, were also identified. Next, all introns were subjected in several analyses in order to depict common properties for each class, such as preferences in target sites and DNA strands. Using this enlarged dataset, Chapter IV aimed to resolve the phylogeny of group II introns and investigate whether the intron-encoded protein (IEP) and RNA portions coevolved. Among trees constructed from various datasets, such as using different sequence masks, smaller sampled subsets or morphological features, the hypothesis that the IEP and RNA coevolved was supported by comparisons among most trees, even though it seemed to be rejected by formal topology tests. Finally, Chapter V compiled and systematically classified the most recent set of DGRs, which can be used as a reliable reference to direct future DGR-related studies and experimental designs.
Non-asymptotic Observer Design for Nonlinear Systems Based on Linearization

description: In the related paper, a new approach for a linearization based algebraic state observer design is established. To receive a linear input-output relation of the nonlinear system for the state observer and to avoid the necessity of time-derivatives of the measurement and actuator signals, a combination of linearization with the modulating function technique is applied. The estimates are obtained non-asymptotically using a sliding time window of finite length. This procedure allows a continuous-time and recursive update of the state estimates and extends the possible applications of the modulating function technique to a wider range of nonlinear systems. The class of unitary modulating functions is introduced to ensure the solvability of the estimation problem when subject to time-varying coefficients generated from the linearized state trajectory. Two examples illustrate the real-time capability of the algorithm.

description: Le organizzazioni criminali mafiose italiane ritengono centrale per la loro strategia criminale l’attività estorsiva, praticandola sia nei mercati legali che in quelli illegali. La persistenza e la trasformazione dell’attività estorsiva ne fanno un reato madre in quanto, nelle aree di tradizionale radicamento, feconda il modello organizzativo mafioso e l'attività è propedeutica allo sviluppo di ulteriori traffici illegali. Occorre perciò trasformare l’indirizzo delle politiche di contrasto al crimine, perché alcuni reati hanno effetti e danni maggiori di altri e la loro natura gemma una sequenzialità ed evoluzione incrementale di altri reati.

In Italy extortion and racketeering are still the pivotal activities of different mafia organizations because they have turned into a ‘spring’ which enables further illegal mafia activities. This is the reason why it is necessary to modify anti-crime policies, organizing and selecting them according to a specific hierarchy. Not only certain crimes can be more harmful than others but they can also initiate a sequence of other crimes.

Light sterile neutrino production in the early universe with dynamical neutrino asymmetries

description: Light sterile neutrinos mixing with the active ones have been recently proposed to solve different anomalies observed in short-baseline oscillation experiments. These neutrinos can also be produced by oscillations of the active neutrinos in the early universe, leaving possible traces on different cosmological observables. Here we perform an updated study of the neutrino kinetic equations in (3+1) and (2+1) oscillation schemes, dynamically evolving primordial asymmetries of active neutrinos and taking into account for the first time CP-violation effects. In the absence of neutrino asymmetries, eV-mass scale sterile neutrinos would be completely thermalized creating a tension with respect to the CMB, LSS and BBN data. In the past literature, active neutrino asymmetries have been invoked as a way to inhibit the sterile neutrino production via the in-medium suppression of the sterile-active mixing angle. However, neutrino asymmetries also permit a resonant sterile neutrino production. We find that if the active species have equal asymmetries L, a value |L|=10^{-3} is required to start suppressing the resonant sterile production, roughly an order of magnitude larger than what previously expected. When active species have opposite asymmetries the sterile abundance is further enhanced, requiring an even larger |L|\simeq 10^{-2} to start suppressing their production. In the latter case, CP-violation (naturally expected) further exacerbates the phenomenon. Some consequences for cosmological observables are briefly discussed: for example, it is likely that moderate suppressions of the sterile species production are associated with significant spectral distortions of the active neutrino species, with potentially interesting phenomenological consequences especially for BBN.

Approximation algorithms for task allocation with QoS and energy considerations
Creators: name: Alahmad, Bader Naim

description: We consider general problems of allocating tasks to processors where each task is associated with a set of service classes. A service class is a tuple: the first element represents the resource utilization and the second element the quality of service associated with that resource utilization. Before allocating a task to a processor, we need to assign it to a service class. We consider some elementary problems that arise from this setting. What is the minimum number of processors needed if we also need to attain a minimum aggregate QoS level? Given a fixed set of processors, what is the maximum attainable aggregate QoS? Such questions apply to the partitioned scheduling of real-time tasks on multiprocessors and to other resource allocation problems. The basic questions are NP-Hard, and we present polynomial time approximation algorithms for certain special, but practical, cases. We make interesting use of maximum flows in a bipartite graph while developing the polynomial time approximation schemes. We then integrate energy expenditure to the model above and address the problem of partitioning a set of independent, periodic, real-time tasks over a fixed set of heterogeneous processors while minimizing the energy consumption of the computing platform subject to a guaranteed quality of service requirement. This problem is NP-Hard and we present a fully polynomial time approximation scheme for this problem. The main contribution of our work is in tackling the problem in a completely discrete, and possibly arbitrarily structured, setting. In other words, each processor has a discrete set of speed choices. Each task has a computation time that is dependent on the processor that is chosen to execute the task and on the speed at which that processor is operated. Further, the energy consumption of the system is dependent on the decisions regarding task allocation and speed settings.

description: Per definizione, la criminalità ambientale – insieme alla sua declinazione ecomafiosa – si fonda sul sistematico saccheggio delle risorse e dei beni comuni ambientali. Essa si manifesta concretamente grazie alla privatizzazione illegale di porzioni di territorio e biodiversità, e alla contestuale socializzazione dei costi. Tali costi sociali e ambientali sono enormi per la collettività e ben più gravi di quelli che l’economia ambientale mainstream riconosce come esternalità. L’articolo passa in rassegna le ricerche più recenti condotte sui crimini ambientali in Italia, mostrando che la forza delle reti ecocriminali dipende principalmente dalle politiche di prevenzione.

By definition, environmental crime and the ecomafia are based on the systematic plundering of resources and environmental commons. Environmental crime is manifest in the illegal privatization of portions of land and biodiversity, and in the contextual socialization of the costs. These social and environmental costs are enormous for the community and are much more serious than the “externalities” documented by mainstream environmental economics. The article reviews the most recent research conducted on environmental crimes in Italy, showing that the strength of ecocriminal networks mainly depends on prevention policies.

description: Le attività economiche delle mafie non sono limitate ai traffici illeciti ma travalicano la sfera del legale, con la cosiddetta economia criminale: il reinvestimento dei proventi delle attività criminose nell’economia lecita. Forme di non collaborazione economica possono essere molto efficaci per contrastarle, e il movimento antimafia ha adottato pratiche di consumo critico e boicottaggio. La legislazione antimafia italiana include strumenti volti a colpire i patrimoni mafiosi e il riutilizzo sociale dei beni confiscati, e rappresenta uno strumentario per implementare strategie di non collaborazione economica.
Mafia’s economic activities are not limited to illicit trafficking. They go beyond the scope of illegal affairs through the so-called “criminal economy”, the reinvestment of revenues from criminal activities within the licit economy. Forms of economic non-cooperation can be very effective in countering them. The anti-mafia movement has already adopted critical consumption and boycott practices. The Italian anti-mafia legislation includes instruments aimed at affecting mafia’s assets as well as promoting the social re-use of confiscated properties, which represent a toolkit for implementing economic non-cooperation strategies.

description: In this note we compare the latest 1.04 fb^{-1} LHC searches for squarks and gluinos from jets and missing transverse momentum (MET) with constraints arising from the LEP Higgs bound. For General Gauge Mediation models with moderate values of tan(beta) we find that the zero-lepton MET searches of supersymmetry at the LHC are only starting to be competitive with the Higgs bounds from LEP. From this perspective and for such models, the SUSY searches at the LHC are still very much in the beginning.

Mutual Diffusivity of Bitumen and Liquid Hydrocarbons

Publisher: name: Graduate Studies

Subjects: subject: Engineering--Petroleum

description: The objective of this study was to determine the mutual diffusivity for bitumen and maltenes with liquid hydrocarbons at ambient conditions. A new apparatus was designed and commissioned to measure the mass transfer in these systems based on the density profiles established over time in a column of solvent over bitumen. A one dimensional numerical model based on molecular diffusion was developed to determine the mutual diffusivity from the concentration profiles. The model accounted for the dependence of diffusivity on viscosity through a correlation based on the infinite dilution diffusivities of the solvent and the oil. Diffusivities were determined for Athabasca bitumen and maltenes with toluene, n-heptane, and n-pentane at ambient conditions and diffusion times from 3 to 15 days. The model matched the measured concentration profiles to within ±2% for bitumen and ±7% for maltenes. In addition, the effect of asphaltene precipitation of the mass transfer rate was assessed.
Global Analysis of Nuclear Parton Distributions

description: We present a new global QCD analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions and their uncertainties. In addition to the most commonly analyzed data sets for the deep-inelastic scattering of charged leptons off nuclei and Drell-Yan di-lepton production, we include also measurements for neutrino-nucleus scattering and inclusive pion production in deuteron-gold collisions. The analysis is performed at next-to-leading order accuracy in perturbative QCD in a general mass variable flavor number scheme, adopting a current set of free nucleon parton distribution functions, defined accordingly, as reference. The emerging picture is one of consistency, where universal nuclear modification factors for each parton flavor reproduce the main features of all data without any significant tension among the different sets. We use the Hessian method to estimate the uncertainties of the obtained nuclear modification factors and examine critically their range of validity in view of the sparse kinematic coverage of the present data. We briefly present several applications of our nuclear parton densities in hard nuclear reactions at BNL-RHIC, CERN-LHC, and a future electron-ion collider.

description: Investighiamo il ruolo che la P2, nota loggia massonica clandestina italiana, ha avuto nelle vicende economiche del paese. Considerando tutte le imprese quotate sulla Borsa di Milano, analizziamo le interconnessioni fra le banche e le imprese infiltrate e non infiltrate dalla P2. I nostri risultati mostrano che nel periodo 1980-1981 le imprese infiltrate dalla P2 contavano la maggior parte delle connessioni e mostravano la centralità più elevata all’interno del network.  A partire al 1982 si registra un generale ridimensionamento di queste imprese: si tratta di un evento coerente con l’impatto negativo derivante dalla scoperta della loggia P2 nel 1981

We investigate the rule that the P2, the well-known Italian clandestine masonic lodge, had in the economic developments in the country. Considering all firms listed on the Milan Stock Exchange, we analyse the interlocking directorates between the banks and firms infiltrated and not infiltrated by the P2. Our results show that in the 1980-1981 period firms infiltrated by the P2 accounted for the most part of the connections and exhibited higher network centrality. Since 1982 there is a general scaling-down of these firms: an event consistent with negative impact of the public discovery of the P2 lodge during 1981.

description: Auf einen Blick...
• Zwischen 1996 und 2005 hat sich das durchschnittliche Rentenzugangsalter für Altersrenten um ca. 1 Jahr auf 63,0 Jahre erhöht; allein seit 2002 um ein halbes Jahr. Berücksichtigt man Erwerbsminderungsrenten (ab 50 Jahre), so ist das Zugangsalter niedriger (62,3 Jahre), der Anstieg seit 1996 aber stärker.
• Dennoch gab es 2004 und 2005 wieder anteilig mehr Personen, die mit 60 Jahren in Rente gegangen sind. Damit zeichnen sich zwei gegensätzliche Trends ab: einerseits – schon seit 1996 – der Trend zum späteren Renteneintritt, und parallel dazu andererseits (ab 2004) ein wieder mehr Rentenzugänge mit 60 Jahren.
• Etwa ein Drittel der Männer erreichte 2005 die Rente über die Regelaltersrente ab 65 Jahre. Zugänge in Erwerbsminderungsrenten sind für Männer und Frauen seit 1996 rückläufig, ebenso Altersrenten für Frauen. Nach Jahren zunehmender Inanspruchnahme geht die Bedeutung der Altersrenten nach Altersteilzeit seit 2003 wieder zurück.
• Etwa vier von fünf Frauen beziehen entweder eine Regelaltersrente oder eine Altersrente für Frauen. Für Männer spielen Altersrenten für langjährig Versicherte, nach Altersteilzeit, aber auch wegen Arbeitslosigkeit eine größere Rolle. Männer gehen öfter mit Abschlägen in Rente als Frauen.
• In den neuen Bundesländern erfolgen Zugänge in eine Rente der Gesetzlichen Rentenversicherung nach wie vor häufiger vorzeitig als in den alten Bundesländern. Hauptgründe sind die schlechte Arbeitsmarktlage und die höhere Frauenerwerbstätigkeit.
