description: Charge collection measurements performed on heavily irradiated p-spray DOFZ pixel sensors with a grazing angle hadron beam provide a sensitive determination of the electric field within the detectors. The data are compared with a complete charge transport simulation of the sensor which includes signal trapping and charge induction effects. A linearly varying electric field based upon the standard picture of a constant type-inverted effective doping density is inconsistent with the data. A two-trap double junction model implemented in the ISE TCAD software can be tuned to produce a doubly-peaked electric field which describes the data reasonably well. The modeled field differs somewhat from previous determinations based upon the transient current technique. The model can also account for the level of charge trapping observed in the data.

description: Following part 1 of Port City Cultures, Values, and Maritime Mindsets, this issue explores how cultures of port city territories are put into words, visualized, and can even be shaped. Continuing the argument that port city territories merit particular attention due to their location at the border of sea and land and the presence of global and local interests and stakeholders of differing sizes, this issue emphasizes once more the role that culture, values, and mindsets can play in understanding the historical relations and socio-spatial features of port cities, their socio-cultural construction, and their future design. The issue emphasizes the value of considering ways of perceiving, defining, and classifying port cities in relation to social context and powerful processes of meaning-making in academia and in the wider society.

description: We introduce a new simplified fast detector simulator in the MadAnalysis 5 platform. The Python-like interpreter of the programme has been augmented by new commands allowing for a detector parametrisation through smearing and efficiency functions. On run time, an associated C++ code is automatically generated and executed to produce reconstructed-level events. In addition, we have extended the MadAnalysis 5 recasting infrastructure to support our detector emulator, and we provide predefined LHC detector configurations. We have compared predictions obtained with our approach to those resulting from the usage of the Delphes 3 software, both for Standard Model processes and a few new physics signals. Results generally agree to a level of about 10% or better, the largest differences in the predictions stemming from the different strategies that are followed to model specific detector effects. Equipped with these new functionalities, MadAnalysis 5 now offers a new user-friendly way to include detector effects when analysing collider events, the simulation of the detector and the analysis being both handled either through a set of intuitive Python commands or directly within the C++ core of the platform.

description: We present results from a study of the NGC 4756 group which is dominated by the elliptical galaxy NGC 5746. The characteristics of the group are investigated through (a) the detailed investigation of the morphological, photometric and spectroscopic properties of nine galaxies among the dominant members of the group (b) the determination of the photometric parameters of the faint galaxy population in an area of 34'x34' centered on NGC 4756 and (c) an analysis of the X-ray emission in the area based upon archival data. The 9 member galaxies are located in the core part of the NGC 4756 group (a strip diameter about 300 kpc in diameter which has a very loose configuration. The central part of the NGC 4756 group contains a significant fraction of early-type galaxies. Three new group members with previously unknown systemic velocities are identified, one of which is a dE. At about 7.5' SW of NGC 4756 a sub-structure of the group is detected, including IC 829, MCG -2-33-35, MCG -2-33-36 and MCG -2-33-38, which meets the Hickson criteria for being a compact group. Most of the galaxies in this sub-structure show interaction signatures. We do not detect apparent fine structure and signatures of recent interaction events in the early-type galaxy population, with the exception of a strong dust lane in the elliptical MCG -2-33-38. This galaxy displays however signatures of nuclear activity. Strong [O III], [N II] and [S II] line emission, combined with comparatively weak, but broad H alpha emission suggest an intermediate Seyfert type classification. Although the area is heavily contaminated by the background cluster Abell 1631, X-ray data suggest the presence of a hot intergalactic medium related to the group to the X-ray emission detected. The present results are discussed in the context of group evolution.

description: Centuries of trade have left their traces in the culture and society of port cities. This paper explores the usefulness of the concept “maritime mindset” to recognize these traces, and analyses it from different disciplinary perspectives. In the second part, it proposes the practice of “deep mapping” as a methodology of identifying and documenting expressions of maritime culture and trade in public space. In conclusion, it addresses some questions that are crucial when addressing a maritime mindset, such as whether it is a top-down or bottom-up mindset, which spatial scale it entails, and whose values and interests the mindset represents. Ultimately, we argue that (deep) mapping can play a role in producing a more layered spatial, social and cultural understanding of the complex nature of port cities.

We show that vortices in this system possess many novel features induced by the long-range anisotropic dipolar interaction between particles. For example, when the dipoles are polarized along the rotation axis, vortices may display a crater-like structure; when dipoles are polarized orthogonal to the rotation axis, vortex cores takes an elliptical shape and the vortex lattice no longer possesses hexagonal symmetry.

description: Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) aims to support investment in cellulosic biofuel refineries by mandating a floor on the amount of biofuels being consumed in every calendar year. Tradable Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) is the market mechanism by which the mandates are to be met. But the RFS allows for a waiver of the mandates. In this paper we construct a conceptual model to study the impact of RINs on stimulating investment in cellulosic biofuel refineries under a waivable mandate. In a two-period framework, we compare the first-period investment level in three scenarios: (1) laissez-faire, (2) non-waivable mandate implemented through RINs, and (3) waivable mandate implemented through RINs. We find that RINs associated with a waivable mandate may or may not increase the first-period investment level depending on the price distribution of cellulosic biofuel in the future and the cost of biofuel production. Under certain conditions about the second-period price distribution of cellulosic biofuels, RINs, no matter under a non-waivable mandate or under a waivable mandate, do not affect the investment level in the first period. If these distribution conditions do not hold and investors' marginal costs are constant, then a non-waivable mandate can increase the period one investment level but a waivable mandate will not. A waivable mandate, even when it has no impact on the period-one investment level, always increase the expected profit of investors who invest in the first period. However, if investors' marginal costs are strictly increasing, then even a waivable mandate can stimulate the period-one investment level.

description: The equations for the effective medium refractive index and for the confinement factor in the waveguide design for quantum cascade lasers are derived.Compared to equations used in prior literature, by applying rigorous perturbation theory and including the effect of the anisotropic optical gain and non-Hermitian properties of the waveguide structure and materials, a few percent correction should be made to the confinement factor and the effective gain. This result can easily be generalized to any optical devices with a layered structure.

description: Almost universally, implementers of index insurance for low income households have chosen to embed insurance with other interventions designed to improve productivity, with the insurance used almost entirely to make the other interventions possible. A common example is to use the insurance to allow farmers to have access to loans by reducing the probability of weather related defaults. A bundled loan/insurance implementation with overwhelming take-up rates had low insurance take-up rates when researchers unbundled the package, covering the loan default risk, so that the loans could be available without requiring insurance. If low income farmers are highly risk averse, why do they place so little value on risk reducing insurance once their access to productive inputs is secured? In general, why do index insurance implementers targeting the lowest income households nearly universally utilize insurance as a tool to increase productivity instead of using it to reduce variance? We provide a potential explanation driven by optimal risk behavior in the face of income thresholds, illustrating how models of risk aversion may not adequately represent the behavior of those with very low incomes. We show how variance reduction may not be the most important outcome for a low income farmer who lives near the poverty threshold. We show that if a farmer's goal is to avoid falling into a poverty trap, then the lower his income is, the less risk averse he becomes in the mean-variance utility maximization framework regarding the design of index insurance contracts. We begin this paper by introducing a mean-variance utility maximization framework, using a known joint distribution for the index and yield, and then we show how one's risk aversion changes when the mean-variance utility function is switched to a poverty trap avoidance utility function. We argue that one reason farmers don't always seek to minimize variance is that they may be very near a poverty trap threshold, and are therefore less willing to give up additional expected income in exchange for decreased income variance. In this case, it may be best for implementers to utilize insurance to unlock increases in productivity as opposed to variance reduction per se.

description: Outfit recommendation requires the answers of some challenging outfit compatibility questions such as 'Which pair of boots and school bag go well with my jeans and sweater?'. It is more complicated than conventional similarity search, and needs to consider not only visual aesthetics but also the intrinsic fine-grained and multi-category nature of fashion items. Some existing approaches solve the problem through sequential models or learning pair-wise distances between items. However, most of them only consider coarse category information in defining fashion compatibility while neglecting the fine-grained category information often desired in practical applications. To better define the fashion compatibility and more flexibly meet different needs, we propose a novel problem of learning compatibility among multiple tuples (each consisting of an item and category pair), and recommending fashion items following the category choices from customers. Our contributions include: 1) Designing a Mixed Category Attention Net (MCAN) which integrates both fine-grained and coarse category information into recommendation and learns the compatibility among fashion tuples. MCAN can explicitly and effectively generate diverse and controllable recommendations based on need. 2) Contributing a new dataset IQON, which follows eastern culture and can be used to test the generalization of recommendation systems. Our extensive experiments on a reference dataset Polyvore and our dataset IQON demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art recommendation methods.

description: The project AMIGA (Analysis of the interstellar Medium of Isolated GAlaxies) will provide a statistically significant sample of the most isolated galaxies in the northern sky. Such a control sample is necessary to assess the role of the environment in galaxy properties and evolution. The sample is based on the Catalogue of Isolated Galaxies (CIG, Karachentseva, 1973) and the database will include blue and near-infrared luminosities, far-infrared (FIR) emission, atomic gas (HI) emission, radio continuum, and, for a redshift limited subsample of about 200 galaxies, CO and H$α$ emission. The data will be released and periodically updated at http://www.iaa.csic.es/AMIGA.html. Here, we present the project and its status, as well as a preliminary analysis of the relation between star formation activity and the environment. We found a trend that the galaxies with asymmetric HI spectrum also tend to show an enhanced star formation, traced by a high value of $L_{FIR}/M(HI)$, indicating that a perturbed gas kinematics and enhanced SF are related.

description: Over the last decades, values have been re-addressed in planning, policies, businesses, heritage and education. While these fields seem to agree on the importance of values, it is often unclear what actors mean by values, and how they use these values to shape decisions. A decade after a global financial crisis, in the midst of a global pandemic, and on the eve of global climate emergencies, difficult choices need to be made to safeguard a sustainable future. These choices call for value-driven deliberations, especially in the globally connected, multi-problem environment of the port city. To do that, however, stakeholders need to know what they mean when they talk about values, and how to deliberate them. In other words: they need to be value literate. In this article, we study the concept of value and values in the context of port cities in the past, present and future. After an analysis of historical uses of values in port cities, we assess six projects that explicitly and implicitly deal with values in port cities, to explore methods or strategies that can help to elicit values in different phases of decision making processes.

description: The “port-city heritage” has recently gained more scholarly and professional attention. Yet, many questions remain in terms of terminology, characteristics, constituents or applicability of such a group of heritage objects. Understanding and defining the port city terms is crucial as it is intimately connected to what citizens and institutions deem valuable and choose to preserve. This article serves as the first step towards developing a shared vocabulary, as the foundation for a better understanding of specific values or identities inherent in port cities. In the world heritage list, we identified 107 sites related to port city. By decoding and analyzing the short abstracts of these sites with a systematic approach, we tried to understand how UNESCO conceptualize port-city heritage, how UNESCO acknowledge the value of port-city heritage sites, what the problematic issues are in this conceptualization and why, and how the historical urban landscape approach can contextualize the sites in larger networks and flows. Findings indicate the port-city heritage conceptualized by UNESCO is focused very much on local contexts, and of OUV that are mostly related to the military, trading and colonial practices. We argue such limited vision on the valuing of port-city heritage impair the understanding of complex linkages between nature and culture, one port-city and another, global and local values, and after all the systematic thinking of port-city-region as a networked entity.

Year: 2021

description: This article explores the neoliberal transformation of Valparaíso from a deindustrialised, declining city to a site of tourist appeal that commodifies, in an ambivalent but striking way, its own decay. We describe the city’s economic, social and cultural trajectory from a period of global importance as a key port city to deindustrialisation and the acceleration of the city’s decline and the imposition of violent economic policies between 1970s and 90s. Drawing on the notion of slow violence and critical literature around heritage, postcolonial, deindustrial and ‘poverty’ tourism, we trace the impact and materiality of economic abandonment into the present moment, together with the city’s contemporary reliance on tourism for economic survival through a form of dereliction tourism. In a port city like Valparaíso, which has suffered economic decline, widening inequality and precariousness, of which neoliberalism is one cause, the full plasticity and ambivalence of neoliberalization processes is revealed.

description: Maritime India has been exposed to transformations both in terms of political and social processes due to the exchange of commodities, men and material. The main focus of the current essay is on the port- city of Kochi, and the consequent encounters in the Indian Ocean for black gold (pepper) in the past, which have helped in shaping a cosmopolitanism that we see today. The paper probes into the formation of a community-based ‘world view’ and reclamations of a historic past in the imagination of indigenous people through fictional narratives as against the popular Eurocentric viewpoint. Drawing on the regional fictional narratives of writers like N.S Madhavan and historic research available in the area, it is argued that these encounters have resulted in the creation of a unique maritime consciousness, glocalization and incorporation of a fabric of inclusivity in the social realm, which has bestowed upon the locals of the littoral an ability to perforate seamlessly into alien cultures and accommodate to the changes the trans-ocean encounters brought forth. The paper also brings forth various modes of indigenous re-constructions, which have contributed in interrogating and tracing the historic past as embedded in memory and public opinion.

description: One of the goals of 2030 AIVP Agenda is to strengthen port-city relationship by “promoting and capitalising on the specific culture and identity of port cities and allowing residents to develop a sense of pride and flourish as part of a city port community of interest” (6th goal). In order to do that, AIVP suggests to encourage the creation of Port Centres, to provide, by any means, daily news and information on port and city life for residents, particularly young people and school students and to organise temporary or permanent cultural events in port areas. This paper aims at presenting the Zones Portuaires Genoa experience as a device which since 2015 has experimented new methods for attending these objectives. The text will critically observe some projects that have been carried on within this process and will place them in the framework of a “research in action” approach.

description: Taxing sugar-sweetened beverages has been proposed as a means to reduce calorie intake, improve diet and health, and generate revenue that governments can use to address the obesity-caused health and economic burden. Two beverage demand systems were estimated using beverage purchase data for high-income and low-income households. Using the estimated demand elasticities we examined the impacts of a hypothetical 20-percent effective tax rate (or about 0.5 cent per ounce) on beverage consumption, calorie intake, tax revenue and burden. Our results suggest that such a tax would induce an average reduction of 35 and 41 calories a day among adults and children, respectively. The tax burden is found to be regressive, although representing less than one percent of household spending on food and beverages. Tax revenue is estimated to be $5.8 billion using 2007 population estimates.

description: It is widely known that there is a lot of useful information hidden in big data, leading to a new saying that "data is money." Thus, it is prevalent for individuals to mine crucial information for utilization in many real-world applications. In the past, studies have considered frequency. Unfortunately, doing so neglects other aspects, such as utility, interest, or risk. Thus, it is sensible to discover high-utility itemsets (HUIs) in transaction databases while utilizing not only the quantity but also the predefined utility. To find patterns that can represent the supporting transaction, a recent study was conducted to mine high utility-occupancy patterns whose contribution to the utility of the entire transaction is greater than a certain value. Moreover, in realistic applications, patterns may not exist in transactions but be connected to an existence probability. In this paper, a novel algorithm, called High-Utility-Occupancy Pattern Mining in Uncertain databases (UHUOPM), is proposed. The patterns found by the algorithm are called Potential High Utility Occupancy Patterns (PHUOPs). This algorithm divides user preferences into three factors, including support, probability, and utility occupancy. To reduce memory cost and time consumption and to prune the search space in the algorithm as mentioned above, probability-utility-occupancy list (PUO-list) and probability-frequency-utility table (PFU-table) are used, which assist in providing the downward closure property. Furthermore, an original tree structure, called support count tree (SC-tree), is constructed as the search space of the algorithm. Finally, substantial experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of proposed UHUOPM algorithm on both real-life and synthetic datasets, particularly in terms of effectiveness and efficiency.

description: World crop markets are often thin and characterized by volatile prices. One reason is that crop yields are highly variable over time and space. International trade can alleviate this problem to some extent but is hindered by restrictive border policies. For example, global average bound tariffs in agriculture are roughly double those in other sectors. Non-tariff barriers are pervasive. Furthermore, in 2007-2008 at least 10 grain exporting countries restricted their exports so as to keep prices low for consumers at home; the inability of other countries to import this grain caused a great deal of suffering. Not only are world crop markets highly insulated, prospects for further trade liberalization are uncertain. Since countries are often quite hesitant to make concessions in exchange for trade liberalization in other countries, it may help to illuminate basic facts about the world crop sector, and get new perspectives on the size and distribution of the gains from trade, by country. In this study we develop a new global simulation model of crop agriculture to address these questions. The model is partial-equilibrium and designed around the salient features of world crop markets: yield variability and high trade costs, the latter of which are caused by policy as well as geography. The resulting framework provides econometric evidence about trade costs, and – since it is a simulation model – can be used to examine the types of questions that heretofore have been the domain of spatial equilibrium and computable general equilibrium models.

description: The onset of intermediate states (denaturation bubbles) and their role during the melting transition of DNA are studied using the Peyrard-Bishop-Daxuois model by Monte Carlo simulations with no adjustable parameters. Comparison is made with previously published experimental results finding excellent agreement. Melting curves, critical DNA segment length for stability of bubbles and the possibility of a two states transition are studied.
