description: Research on communities and crime has predominantly focused on social conditions within an area or in its immediate proximity. However, a growing body of research shows that people often travel to areas away from home, contributing to connections between places. A few studies highlight the criminological implications of such connections, focusing on important but rare ties like co-offending or gang conflicts. The current study extends this idea by analyzing more common ties based on commuting across Chicago communities. It integrates standard criminological methods with machine learning and computational statistics approaches to investigate the extent to which neighborhood crime depends on the disadvantage of areas connected to it through commuting. The findings suggest that connected communities can influence each other from a distance and that connectivity to less disadvantaged work hubs may decrease local crime – with implications for advancing knowledge on the relational ecology of crime, social isolation, and ecological networks.

description: The projective quantum Monte Carlo (PQMC) algorithms are among the most powerful computational techniques to simulate the ground state properties of quantum many-body systems. However, they are efficient only if a sufficiently accurate trial wave function is used to guide the simulation. In the standard approach, this guiding wave function is obtained in a separate simulation that performs a variational minimization. Here we show how to perform PQMC simulations guided by an adaptive wave function based on a restricted Boltzmann machine. This adaptive wave function is optimized along the PQMC simulation via unsupervised machine learning, avoiding the need of a separate variational optimization. As a byproduct, this technique provides an accurate ansatz for the ground state wave function, which is obtained by minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence with respect to the PQMC samples, rather than by minimizing the energy expectation value as in standard variational optimizations. The high accuracy of this self-learning PQMC technique is demonstrated for a paradigmatic sign-problem-free model, namely, the ferromagnetic quantum Ising chain, showing very precise agreement with the predictions of the Jordan-Wigner theory and of loop quantum Monte Carlo simulations performed in the low-temperature limit.

description: The authors analyze the main manifestations and basic characteristics of contemporary Chinese social mentality, discuss the ways and characteristics of the human Buddhism nebula model to actively solve social problems, and the treatment of social morbidity and the guiding path of social mentality in the human Buddhist nebula model. The basic proposition of the social harmony and stable development of the meta-governance (culture and human heart) discusses the mechanism of the adaptation of religion to socialist society. The article believes that the issue of people's hearts still needs to be guided by the "holy" and "vulgar" culture. The governance and construction of society will be completed in a natural way, and social harmony will have a more solid internal foundation.

description: With the development of new system solutions that integrate traditional cloud computing with the edge/fog computing paradigm, dynamic optimization of service execution has become a challenge due to the edge computing resources being more distributed and dynamic. How to optimize the execution to provide Quality of Service (QoS) in edge computing depends on both the system architecture and the resource allocation algorithms in place. We design and develop a QoS provider mechanism, as an integral component of a fog-to-cloud system, to work in dynamic scenarios by using deep reinforcement learning. We choose reinforcement learning since it is particularly well suited for solving problems in dynamic and adaptive environments where the decision process needs to be frequently updated. We specifically use a Deep Q-learning algorithm that optimizes QoS by identifying and blocking devices that potentially cause service disruption due to dynamicity. We compare the reinforcement learning based solution with state-of-the-art heuristics that use telemetry data, and analyze pros and cons.

description: Time evolution of wave packets built from the eigenstates of the Dirac equation for a hydrogenic system is considered. We investigate the space and spin motion of wave packets which, in the non-relativistic limit, are stationary states with a probability density distributed uniformly along the classical, elliptical orbit (elliptic WP). We show that the precession of such a WP, due to relativistic corrections to the energy eigenvalues, is strongly correlated with the spin motion. We show also that the motion is universal for all hydrogenic systems with an arbitrary value of the atomic number Z.

description: This paper evaluates the animal welfare situation on cattle farms in Germany and Austria applying a multidimensional assessment framework. Using minimum requirements formulated in public legislation and private certification schemes, animal needs indices are calculated. They are subsequently compared with results from on-farm surveys. Most private certification schemes address animal welfare in their requirements but this does not necessarily result in higher levels of farm animal welfare if they only overlap with existing national standards. The on-farm evaluations showed that most farms already voluntarily overcomply with some of the standards imposed by public legislation or private labels. Thus, proposals to simply increase standards to improve farm animal welfare without considering the already implemented on-farm animal welfare level have to be evaluated with caution. Unter Nutzung eines indikatorengestützten Bewertungssystems untersucht diese Arbeit das Tierwohl auf rinderhaltenden Betrieben in Deutschland und Österreich. Mit Hilfe von Mindestanforderungen, wie sie in der relevanten Gesetzgebung und in privaten Zertifizierungssystemen formuliert sind, werden Tierwohlindikatoren berechnet. Anschließend werden diese mit den Ergebnissen von Kontrollen auf landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben verglichen. Die meisten privaten Zertifizierungssysteme berücksichtigen die Tiergerechtheit von Haltungsbedingungen in ihren Anforderungen, jedoch führt dies nicht unbedingt zu besseren Ergebnissen, wenn diese Anforderungen sich nur mit bestehenden rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen überschneiden. Die Auswertung der betrieblichen Kontrollen zeigt, dass die meisten Betriebe bereits freiwillig die (Mindest-) Standards der öffentlichen und privaten Regelungen übererfüllen. So sind Vorschläge zur weiteren Verbesserung des Tierschutzes in der Landwirtschaft, die eine einfache Erhöhung der Mindestanforderungen beinhalten, hinsichtlich ihrer Wirkung auf das Tierwohl mit Vorsicht zu bewerten.

description: Generalised additive models (GAMs) provide flexible models for a wide array of data sources. In the past, improvements of GAM estimation have focused on the smoothers used in the local scoring algorithm used for estimation, but poor prediction for non-Gaussian data motivates the need for robust estimation of GAMs. In this paper, rank-based estimation, as a robust and efficient alternative to the likelihood-based estimation of GAMs, is proposed. It is shown that rank GAM estimators can be obtained through iteratively reweighted likelihood-based GAM estimation which we call the iterated regularised rank quasi-likelihood (IRRQL). Simulation experiments support the use of rank-based GAM estimation for heavy-tailed or contaminated sources of data.

description: Methyl mercaptan (CH$_3$SH) is an important sulfur-bearing species in the interstellar medium, terrestrial environment, and potentially in planetary atmospheres. The aim of the present study is to provide accurate spectroscopic parameters for the most abundant minor isotopolog CH$_3$$^{34}$SH to support radio astronomical observations at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. The rotational spectrum of CH$_3$$^{34}$SH, which is complicated by the large-amplitude internal rotation of the CH$_3$ group versus the $^{34}$SH frame, was investigated in the 49$-$510 GHz and 1.1$-$1.5 THz frequency ranges in natural isotopic abundance. The analysis of the spectrum was performed up to the second excited torsional state, and the obtained data were modeled with the RAM36 program. A fit within experimental accuracy was obtained with a RAM Hamiltonian model that uses 72 parameters. Predictions based on this fit are used to search for CH$_3$$^{34}$SH with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) toward the hot molecular core Sgr B2(N2), but blends with emission lines of other species prevent its firm identification in this source.

description: The Bretton Woods System frequently appears in the scholarly literature as a model for international monetary reform. This paper briefly considers its operation. It argues that the system's principal achievement, the maintenance of stable exchange rates, was product not of the agreement finalized at the Bretton Woods Conference alone but of two exceptional features of the postwar world. One was the limited international mobility of capital. Capital controls provided policymakers room for maneuver; they softened the tradeoff between domestic objectives and defense of the exchange-rate peg. The other was singular scope for growth resulting from postwar reconstruction and catch-up. In these circumstances, countries felt little need to engage in discretionary monetary and fiscal policies that might have undermined the currency peg.

description: Interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT) has an immense potential to rescue endangered animals and extinct species like mammoths. In this study, we successfully established an Asian elephant’s fibroblast cell lines from ear tissues, performed iSCNT with porcine oocytes and evaluated the in vitro and in vivo development of reconstructed embryos. A total of 7780 elephant–pig iSCNT embryos were successfully reconstructed and showed in vitro development with cleavage rate, 4-cell, 8-cell and blastocyst rate of 73.01, 30.48, 5.64, and 4.73%, respectively. The total number of elephant–pig blastocyte cells and diameter of hatched blastocyte was 38.67 and 252.75 μm, respectively. Next, we designed species-specific markers targeting EDNRB, AGRP and TYR genes to verify the genome of reconstructed embryos with donor nucleus/species. The results indicated that 53.2, 60.8, and 60.8% of reconstructed embryos (n = 235) contained elephant genome at 1-cell, 2-cell and 4-cell stages, respectively. However, the percentages decreased to 32.3 and 32.7% at 8-cell and blastocyst stages, respectively. Furthermore, we also evaluated the in vivo development of elephant–pig iSCNT cloned embryos and transferred 2260 reconstructed embryos into two surrogate gilts that successfully became pregnant and a total of 11 (1 and 10) fetuses were surgically recovered after 17 and 19 days of gestation, respectively. The crown-rump length and width of elephant–pig cloned fetuses were smaller than the control group. Unfortunately, none of these fetuses contained elephant genomes, which suggested that elephant embryos failed to develop in vivo. In conclusion, we successfully obtained elephant–pig reconstructed embryos for the first time and these embryos are able to develop to blastocyst, but the in vivo developmental failure needs further investigated.

description: The radiative type-I seesaw has been already implemented to explain the lightness of Majorana neutrinos with both Majorana and Dirac heavy fermions, and the lightness of Dirac neutrinos with Dirac heavy fermions. In this work we present a minimal implementation of the radiative type-I seesaw with light Dirac neutrinos and heavy Majorana fermions. An inert doublet and a complex singlet scalar complete the dark sector which is protected by an Abelian fermiophobic gauge symmetry that also forbids tree level mass contributions for the full set of light neutrinos. A fermion vector-like extension of the model is also proposed where the light right-handed neutrinos can thermalize in the primordial plasma and the extra gauge boson can be directly produced at colliders. In particular, the current upper bound on $ΔN_{\text{eff}}$ reported by PLANCK points to large ratios $M_{Z'}/g'\gtrsim 40\ \text{TeV}$ which can be competitive with collider constraint for $g'$ sufficiently large in the ballpark of the Standard Model values, while future cosmic microwave background experiments may probe all the no minimal models presented here.

description: The intertemporal approach views the current-account balance as the outcome of forwardlooking dynamic saving and investment decisions. This paper, a chapter in the forthcoming third volume of the Handbook of International Economics, surveys the theory and empirical work on the intertemporal approach as it has developed since the early 1980s. After reviewing the basic one-good, representative-consumer model, the paper considers a series of extended models incorporating relative prices, complex demographic structures, consumer durables, asset-market incompleteness, and asymmetric information. We also present a variety of empirical evidence illustrating the usefulness of the intertemporal approach, and argue that intertemporal models provide a consistent and coherent foundation for openeconomy policy analysis. As such, the intertemporal approach should supplant the expanded versions of the Mundell-Fleming IS-LM model that currently furnish the dominant paradigm used by central banks, finance ministries, and international economic agencies.

description: When suitably rescaled, the distribution of the angular gaps between branches of off-lattice radial DLA is shown to approach a size-independent limit. The power-law expected from an asymptotic fractal dimension D=1.71 arises only for very small angular gaps, which occur only for clusters significantly larger than one million particles. Intermediate size gaps exhibit an effective dimension around 1.66, even for cluster sizes going to infinity. They dominate the distribution for clusters with less than a million particles. The largest gap approaches a finite limit extremely slowly, with a correction of order M^{-0.17}, where M is the cluster mass.

description: The incompatibility of pegged exchange rates, international capital mobility and national monetary autonomy is a basic postulate of open economy macroeconomies. In the present environment of high capital mobility and political uncertainty, even the possibility that governments may utilize their policy autonomy can defeat efforts to peg the exchange rate. This leaves two possibilities. One is to fix the exchange rate irrevocably through monetary unification. The other is to live with floating rates. Either way, a case can be made for "throwing sand in the wheels" of international finance. Where monetary unification is not an option, this is a may to make distinct national currencies tolerable and international money and capital markets compatible with modest national autonomy in monetary and macroeconomic policy. For. EU counties striving to create a monetary union, it is the only politically and economically feasible way of completing the transition to Stage III of the Maastricht process.

description: We address the task of auto-completing data cells in relational tables. Such tables describe entities (in rows) with their attributes (in columns). We present the CellAutoComplete framework to tackle several novel aspects of this problem, including: (i) enabling a cell to have multiple, possibly conflicting values, (ii) supplementing the predicted values with supporting evidence, (iii) combining evidence from multiple sources, and (iv) handling the case where a cell should be left empty. Our framework makes use of a large table corpus and a knowledge base as data sources, and consists of preprocessing, candidate value finding, and value ranking components. Using a purpose-built test collection, we show that our approach is 40\% more effective than the best baseline.

description: Although design as a profession often deals with material artifacts in various scales, the role of the designer has long been defined to be highly conceptual and immaterial. This distinct definition constitutes the basis for today’s design workflow, in which designers are mainly concerned with the representation of the design through drawing and not so much with its materialization through making. Even though the introduction of computer-aided systems enabled faster and more accurate fabrication and representation tools, these systems are far from capturing non-linear and complex design workflow, and the fundamental model of interaction remained the same, merely replicating a more capable drafting board. Building upon precedents in adaptive and interactive fabrication methods, this thesis proposes a design-fabrication workflow where users can actively manipulate the fabricated artifact within design-fabrication workflow. This geometric manipulation can be captured using computer-vision based feedback loop to inform digital representation. By introducing a feedback loop, the proposed workflow captures design intentions introduced by the user using basic geometric decomposition and reconstruction algorithms. Using the updated digital representation, the proposed system can adapt and extrapolate future tool paths to continue fabrication and offers a design hypothesis for the user to evaluate, presenting a range of geometrical potentials. By doing so, this thesis argues that active engagement with materials can enhance creative freedom and inform design decisions, and that creative human agency can coexist along deterministic machines to facilitate creative exploration through making.

description: Quantum confined Au nanoclusters exhibit molecule-like properties, including atomic precision and discrete energy levels. The electrical conductivity of Au nanocluster films can vary by several orders of magnitude, and is determined by the strength of the electronic coupling between the individual nanoclusters in the film. Similar to quantum confined, semiconducting quantum dots, the electrical coupling in films is dependent on the size and structure of the Au core and the length and conjugation of the organic ligands surrounding it. Unlike quantum dots, however, semiconducting transport has not been reported in Au nanocluster films. We demonstrate that through a simple yet careful choice of cluster size and organic ligands, stable Au nanocluster films can electronically couple and become semiconducting, exhibiting electric field effect and photoconductivity. The molecule-like nature of the Au nanoclusters is evidenced by a hopping transport mechanism reminiscent of doped, disordered organic semiconductor films. These results demonstrate the potential of metal nanoclusters as a solution processed material for semiconducting devices.

description: This study aims to elucidate the changes in the percentage of GPR56 and/or granzyme B (GZMB) positive cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes, and to explore their clinical value in diagnosing and reflecting the progression of RA. The percentages of GPR56 and/or GZMB positive cells were analyzed in peripheral blood (PB) and spleen T cells in a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model established in DBA/1 mice. The percentages of GPR56+ and/or GZMB+ cells were further analyzed in PBs from RA patients and healthy controls. Correlation analysis was performed between clinical indicators and GPR56+, GZMB+, and GPR56+ GZMB+ T cells. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the value of GPR56 and GZMB in differentiating active and stable remitting RA. GPR56+ levels were increased in CD4 and CD8 T cells in the PB of CIA mice. The percentages of GPR56+ and GZMB+ cells were increased in both CD4 and CD8 T cell subsets in patients with active RA. GPR56+, GZMB+, and GPR56+ GZMB+ cells were positively correlated with rheumatoid factor and DAS28. ROC analysis revealed that AUCs for GPR56+, GZMB+, and GPR56+ GZMB+ cell percentages to distinguish active RA from stable remission RA were 0.7106, 0.6941, 0.7024, with cut-off values of 16.35, 16.40, 14.80 in CD4 + T cells, and 0.8031, 0.8086, 0.8196 with cut-off values 60.25, 62.15, 40.15 in CD8 + T cells, respectively. GPR56+ and/or GZMB+ T cells are up-regulated in patients with active RA and reflect their condition. The detection of GPR56 and GZMB is helpful for RA disease assessment.

description: New theorems for the moments of the first passage time of one dimensional nonlinear stochastic processes with an entrance boundary are formulated. This important class of one dimensional stochastic processes results among others from approximations of the energy or amplitude of second order nonlinear stochastic differential equations. Since the diffusion of a stochastic process vanishes at an entrance boundary, the entrance boundary is called a singular point of the stochastic process. The theorems for the moments of the first passage times are validated based on existing analytical results. In addition, the first passage times of a nonlinear stochastic differential equation, which is important for the determination of dangerous ship roll dynamics, are calculated. The proposed analytical expressions for the moments of the first passage times can be calculated very fast using standard quadrature formulas.

We define speculative attacks or crises as large movements in exchange rates, interest rates, and international reserves. We develop stylized facts concerning the univariate behavior of a variety of macroeconomic variables, comparing crises with periods of tranquility. For ERM observations we cannot reject the null hypothesis that there are few significant differences in the behavior of key macroeconomic variables between crises and non-crisis periods. This null can be decisively rejected for non-ERM observations, however. Precisely the opposite pattern is evident in the behavior of actual realignments and changes in exchange rate regimes. We attempt to tie these findings to the theoretical literature on balance of payments crises.

description: Objective: To examine the mean carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and potentially relevant determinants of increased CIMT in elders. Method: Stroke-free and cardiovascular disease-free residents aged ≥65 years were recruited in a low-income population in China. B-mode ultrasonography was performed to measure CIMT. Results: A total of 1039 individuals (47.9% men) were recruited. The mean CIMT value was 0.60 (SD: 0.09) mm. The mean CIMT was 24.07 (SEM: 6.52) µm greater in men than in women (P < 0.001) and 28.29 (SEM: 7.47) µm greater in patients with hypertension than in those without hypertension (P < 0.001). Moreover, the mean CIMT increased by 1.53 (SEM: 0.49) µm for each 1-year increase in age (P = 0.002). However, the mean CIMT decreased by 5.55 (SEM: 2.40) μm and 6.45 (SEM: 2.62) μm for every 1-mmol/L increase in triglyceride concentration and the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, respectively (P < 0.05). However, high triglyceride level was negatively associated with mean CIMT only among individuals without metabolic syndrome (P = 0.036). Discussion: These findings suggest that there is an urgent need to delay atherosclerosis progression and reduce the stroke burden by managing hypertension, especially for men. Moreover, to decrease the stroke burden in rural China, caution is advised regarding lipid-lowering treatment in elderly patients without metabolic syndrome.

description: Using the so(2,1) Lie algebra and the Baker, Campbell and Hausdorff formulas, the Green's function for the class of the confluent Natanzon potentials is constructed straightforwardly. The bound-state energy spectrum is then determined. Eventually, the three-dimensional harmonic potential, the three-dimensional Coulomb potential and the Morse potential may all be considered as particular cases.

description: We discuss the photon to meson transition form factor for virtual photons, which can be measured in e+ e- collisions. We demonstrate that this form factor is independent of the shape of the meson distribution amplitude over a wide kinematical range. This leads to a parameter-free prediction of perturbative QCD to leading twist accuracy, which has a status comparable to the famous leading-twist prediction of the cross section ratio R.

description: We explain various facets of the THSR (Tohsaki-Horiuchi-Schuck-Röpke) wave function. We first discuss the THSR wave function as a wave function of cluster-gas state, since the THSR wave function was originally introduced to elucidate the 3$α$-condensate-like character of the Hoyle state ($0_2^+$ state) of $^{12}$C. We briefly review the cluster-model studies of the Hoyle state in 1970's in order to explain how there emerged the idea to assign the $α$ condensate character to the Hoyle state. We then explain that the THSR wave function can describe very well also non-gaslike ordinary cluster states with spatial localization of clusters. This fact means that the dynamical motion of clusters is of nonlocalized nature just as in gas-like states of clusters and the localization of clusters is due to the inter-cluster Pauli principle which is against the close approach of two clusters. The nonlocalized cluster dynamics is formulated by the container model of cluster dynamics. The container model describes gas-like state and non-gaslike states as the solutions of the Hill-Wheeler equation with respect to the size parameter of THSR wave function which is just the size parameter of the container. When we notice that fact that the THSR wave function with the smallest value of size parameter is equivalent to the shell-model wave function, we see that the container model describes the evolution of cluster structure from the ground state with shell-model structure up to the gas-like cluster state via ordinary non-gaslike cluster states. For the description of various cluster structure, more generation of THSR wave function have been introduced and we review some typical examples with their actual applications.

description: During the past three years, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) has made an effort to address, quantify, and adjust for an undercount in the number of farms indication from its annual June Area Survey (JAS), which is based on an area frame. This undercount is a direct result of the misclassification of agricultural tracts as non-agricultural. The 2007 Census of Agriculture mailing list (CML) was evaluated as a potential source to assess misclassification on the 2007 JAS. The CML was found to be a rich source from which to quantify the undercount of farms on the JAS. However, the CML is only available every five years, and misclassification on the JAS should be assessed each year. Independently of the area frame, NASS maintains a list of agricultural operators, referred to as the list frame. Yearly list-based samples are selected from the list frame. In addition, the list frame serves as the foundation for building the CML. The list frame is updated on an on-going basis and operators are categorized as either active or inactive. Although the CML includes all active records, some of these do not qualify as farming operations. This research report explores the potential of using the list frame on a yearly basis to assess the misclassification of farms on the JAS.

description: Well-known and newly developed renormalization schemes for $\tanβ$ are analyzed in view of three desirable properties: gauge independence, process independence, and numerical stability in perturbation theory. Arguments are provided that no scheme can meet all three requirements, and as an illustration, a ``No-Go-Theorem'' for the renormalization of $\tanβ$ is established. Nevertheless, two particularly attractive schemes emerge. A discussion about which scheme might be the best compromise in practice is given.

description: The Welfare Genome Project (WGP) provided 1,000 healthy Korean volunteers with detailed genetic and health reports to test the social perception of integrating personal genetic and healthcare data at a large-scale. WGP was launched in 2016 in the Ulsan Metropolitan City as the first large-scale genome project with public participation in Korea. The project produced a set of genetic materials, genotype information, clinical data, and lifestyle survey answers from participants aged 20–96. As compensation, the participants received a free general health check-up on 110 clinical traits, accompanied by a genetic report of their genotypes followed by genetic counseling. In a follow-up survey, 91.0% of the participants indicated that their genetic reports motivated them to improve their health. Overall, WGP expanded not only the general awareness of genomics, DNA sequencing technologies, bioinformatics, and bioethics regulations among all the parties involved, but also the general public’s understanding of how genome projects can indirectly benefit their health and lifestyle management. WGP established a data construction framework for not only scientific research but also the welfare of participants. In the future, the WGP framework can help lay the groundwork for a new personalized healthcare system that is seamlessly integrated with existing public medical infrastructure.
