description: Abstract This paper uses the wealth information and various demographic variables from the Survey of Consumer Finance 2007-2009 panel (SCF) data to investigate the factors and forces that may have caused the changes in the wealth of U.S households during the 2007-2009 financial crisis. This include some, hypothesized to be the main determinants of the U.S households wealth, taking into account the sector of activities in which the head of household operates, other potential factors and their interaction such as variation in characteristics of head of household, family, age, education, and others that are included in the model. More specifically, this paper deviates from previous studies by hypothesizing that the effect of age, for example, on wealth will depend on whether the person is a farmer, a construction worker or a banker. In addition, this analysis helps us whether to confirm the claim made by some researchers, using 2007-2009 SCF panel, that the decreasing house prices and asset values are the main causes of the decreasing wealth for many families during the financial crisis or to reject it.

description: We present a study of the effects of decoherence in the operation of a discrete quantum walk on a line, cycle and hypercube. We find high sensitivity to decoherence, increasing with the number of steps in the walk, as the particle is becoming more delocalised with each step. However, the effect of a small amount of decoherence is to enhance the properties of the quantum walk that are desirable for the development of quantum algorithms. Specifically, we observe a highly uniform distribution on the line, a very fast mixing time on the cycle, and more reliable hitting times across the hypercube.

description: Transcription factor B recruiting factor 1 (TFB-RF1; PF1088) is a transcription regulator which activates transcription on archaeal promoters containing weak TFB recognition elements (BRE) by recruiting TFB to the promoter. The mechanism of activation is described in detail, but nothing is known about the biological function of this protein in Pyrococcus furiosus. The protein is located in an operon structure together with the hypothetical gene pf1089 and western blot as well as end-point RT-PCR experiments revealed an extremely low expression rate of both proteins. Furthermore, conditions to induce the expression of the operon are not known. By introducing an additional copy of tfb-RF1 using a Pyrococcus shuttle vector we could circumvent the lacking expression of both proteins under standard growth conditions as indicated by western blot as well as end-point RT-PCR experiments. A ChIP-seq experiment revealed an additional binding site of TFB-RF1 in the upstream region of the pf1011/1012 operon, beside the expected target of the pf1089/tfb-RF1 region. This operon codes for a putative ABC transporter which is most-related to a multidrug export system and in vitro analysis using gel shift assays, DNase I footprinting and in vitro transcription confirmed the activator function of TFB-RF1 on the corresponding promoter. These findings are also in agreement with in vivo data, as RT-qPCR experiments also indicate transcriptional activation of both operons. Taken together, the overexpression strategy of tfb-RF1 enabled the identification of an additional operon of the TFB-RF1 regulon which indicates a transport-related function and provides a promising starting position to decipher the physiological function of the TFB-RF1 gene regulatory network in P. furiosus.
Finitary codings for gradient models and a new graphical representation for the six-vertex model

description: It is known that the Ising model on $\mathbb {Z}^d$ at a given temperature is a finitary factor of an i.i.d. process if and only if the temperature is at least the critical temperature. Below the critical temperature, the plus and minus states of the Ising model are distinct and differ from one another by a global flip of the spins. We show that it is only this global information which poses an obstruction for being finitary by showing that the gradient of the Ising model is a finitary factor of i.i.d. at all temperatures. As a consequence, we deduce a volume-order large deviation estimate for the energy. A similar result is shown for the Potts model. A result in the same spirit is also shown for the six-vertex model, which is itself the gradient of a height function, with parameter $c \gtrapprox 6.4$. We show that the gradient of the height function is not a finitary factor of an i.i.d. process, but that its "Laplacian" is. For this, we introduce a coupling between the six-vertex model with $c\ge 2$ and a new graphical representation of it, reminiscent of the Edwards--Sokal coupling between the Potts and random-cluster models. We believe that this graphical representation may be of independent interest and could serve as a tool in further understanding of the six-vertex model. To provide further support for the ubiquity of this type of phenomenon, we also prove an analogous result for the so-called beach model. The tools and techniques used in this paper are probabilistic in nature. The heart of the argument is to devise a suitable tree structure on the clusters of the underlying percolation process (associated to the graphical representation of the given model), which can be revealed piece-by-piece via exploration.

description: We perform a numerical study of the reaction efficiency in a closed vessel. Starting with a little spot of product, we compute the time needed to complete the reaction in the container following an advection-reaction-diffusion process. Inside the vessel it is present a cellular velocity field that transports the reactants. If the size of the container is not very large compared with the typical length of the velocity field one has a plateau of the reaction time as a function of the strength of the velocity field, $U$. This plateau appears both in the stationary and in the time-dependent flow. A comparison of the results for the finite system with the infinite case (for which the front speed, $v_f$, gives a simple estimate of the reacting time) shows the dramatic effect of the finite size.

Investigation of HZE particle fluxes as a space radiation hazard for future Mars missions

description: Manned Mars missions planned in the near future of very low solar activity period and hence higher than acceptable radiation doses due mainly to the Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR), would require special techniques and technological development for maintaining good health of the astronauts. The present study is an attempt to make an assessment and characterise the coming years in terms of solar activity and space radiation environment especially due to the abundance of highly energetic heavy ions (known as HZE charged particles). These HZE particle fluxes constitute a major hazard to the astronauts and also to the critical electronic components of the spacecraft. Recent data on the HZE species (from B to Ni) obtained from ACE spacecraft shows a clear enhancement of the particle fluxes between the solar cycle 23 and solar cycle 24 (between SSN peaks 2002 and 2014) due to the persisting low sunspot numbers of the latter cycle. The peak values of these cosmic ray fluxes occur with a time lag of about a year of the corresponding minimum value of the sunspots of a particular 11-year cycle which is pseudo-periodic in nature. This is demonstrated by the Fourier and Wavelet transform analyses of the long duration (1700-2018) yearly mean sunspot number data. The same time series data is also used to train a Hybrid Regression Neural Network (HRNN) model to generate the predicted yearly mean sunspot numbers for the solar cycle 25 (2019-2031). The wavelet analysis of this new series of annual sunspot numbers including the predictions up to the end of 2031 shows a clear trend of continuation of the low solar activity and hence continuation of very high HZE fluxes prevailing in Solar cycle 24 into the solar cycle 25 and perhaps beyond.

description: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes that severely affects eyes. It can be graded into five levels of severity according to international protocol. However, optimizing a grading model to have strong generalizability requires a large amount of balanced training data, which is difficult to collect particularly for the high severity levels. Typical data augmentation methods, including random flipping and rotation, cannot generate data with high diversity. In this paper, we propose a diabetic retinopathy generative adversarial network (DR-GAN) to synthesize high-resolution fundus images which can be manipulated with arbitrary grading and lesion information. Thus, large-scale generated data can be used for more meaningful augmentation to train a DR grading and lesion segmentation model. The proposed retina generator is conditioned on the structural and lesion masks, as well as adaptive grading vectors sampled from the latent grading space, which can be adopted to control the synthesized grading severity. Moreover, a multi-scale spatial and channel attention module is devised to improve the generation ability to synthesize details. Multi-scale discriminators are designed to operate from large to small receptive fields, and joint adversarial losses are adopted to optimize the whole network in an end-to-end manner. With extensive experiments evaluated on the EyePACS dataset connected to Kaggle, as well as the FGADR dataset, we validate the effectiveness of our method, which can both synthesize highly realistic (1280 x 1280) controllable fundus images and contribute to the DR grading task.

description: We report the first X-ray detection of the radio pulsar PSR B1757-24 using the Chandra X-ray Observatory. We detect point-source emission at the pulsar position plus a faint tail extending nearly 20" east of the pulsar, in the same direction and with comparable morphology to the radio tail. Assuming the point-source X-ray emission is magnetospheric, the observed X-ray tail represents only ~0.01% of the pulsar's spin-down luminosity. This is significantly lower than the analogous efficiencies of most known X-ray nebulae surrounding rotation-powered pulsars. Assuming a non-thermal spectrum for the tail photons, we show that the tail is unlikely to be emission left behind following the passage of the pulsar, but rather is probably from synchrotron-emitting pulsar wind particles having flow velocity ~7000 km/s. We also show that there must be a significant break in the tail synchrotron spectrum between the radio and X-ray bands that is intrinsic to the particle spectrum. No emission is detected from the shell supernova remnant G5.4-1.2. The upper limits on remnant emission are unconstraining.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We present a theoretical prediction for the photon spectrum in radiative Upsilon decay. Parts of the spectrum have already been understood, but an understanding of the endpoint region has remained elusive. In this paper we provide the missing piece, and resolve a controversy in the literature. We treat the endpoint region of Upsilon -> X gamma decay within the framework of the soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). Within this approach the Upsilon structure function arises naturally, and kinematic logarithms are summed by running operators using renormalization group equations. In a previous paper we studied the color-octet contribution to the decay. Here we treat the color-singlet contribution. We combine our result with previous results to obtain the Upsilon -> X gamma spectrum. We find that resumming the color-singlet contribution in the endpoint gives a result that is in much better agreement with the data than the leading order prediction.

description: Using National Household Travel Survey data and information collected from over 100 agencies, transportation-related taxation and expenditures were assigned to individual households in the Houston Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA). Using Gini Coefficients and Theil Indices, the research demonstrated that implementation of a Mileage Based User Fee (MBUF) would not have a pronounced effect on the current distribution of what households pay versus what they receive in transportation expenditures. The relative winners are rural and high income urban households, while the relative losers are all other urban households.

description: Overhead guide sign visibility on highway, can be achieved either by illumination or by using retroreflective sheeting. Two surveys were sent to all U.S. departments of transportation, to determine the states’ policies for increasing overhead guide sign visibility. Results showed that 57% of states currently illuminate guide signs, and the most used retroreflective sheeting by states that do not illuminate signs is Diamond Grade for legend and High Intensity for background. Based on cost analysis, the LED light source and the High Intensity (types III and IV) retroreflective sheeting are the most cost-effective methods for increasing guide signs visibility.

description: In the error analysis of finite element methods, the shape regularity assumption on triangulations is typically imposed to obtain a priori error estimations. In practical computations, however, very thin or degenerated elements that violate the shape regularity assumption may appear when we use adaptive mesh refinement. In this manuscript, we attempt to establish an error analysis approach without the shape regularity assumption on triangulations. We have presented several papers on the error analysis of finite element methods on non-shape regular triangulations. The main points in these papers are that, in the error estimates of finite element methods, the circumradius of the triangles is one of the most important factors. The purpose of this manuscript is to provide a simple and plain explanation of the results to researchers and, in particular, graduate students who are interested in the subject. Therefore, this manuscript is not intended to be a research paper. We hope that, in the future, it will be merged into a textbook on the mathematical theory of the finite element methods.

description: This paper explores some connections between rank one convexity, multiplicative quasiconvexity and Schur convexity. Theorem 5.1 gives simple necessary and sufficient conditions for an isotropic objective function to be rank one convex on the set of matrices with positive determinant. Theorem 6.2 describes a class of possible non-polyconvex but multiplicative quasiconvex isotropic functions. This class is not contained in a well known theorem of Ball (6.3 in this paper) which gives sufficient conditions for an isotropic and objective function to be polyconvex. We show here that there is a new way to prove directly the quasiconvexity (in the multiplicative form). Relevance of Schur convexity for the description of rank one convex hulls is explained.

description: We analyse global anomalies and related constraints in the Standard Model (SM) and various Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) theories. We begin by considering four distinct, but equally valid, versions of the SM, in which the gauge group is taken to be $G=G_{\text{SM}}/Γ_n$, with $G_{\text{SM}}=SU(3)\times SU(2) \times U(1)$ and $Γ_n$ isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/n$ where $n\in\left\{1,2,3,6\right\}$. In addition to deriving constraints on the hypercharges of fields transforming in arbitrary representations of the $SU(3)\times SU(2)$ factor, we study the possibility of global anomalies in theories with these gauge groups by computing the bordism groups $Ω^{\text{Spin}}_5(BG)$ using the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence. In two cases we show that there are no global anomalies beyond the Witten anomaly, while in the other cases we show that there are no global anomalies at all, illustrating the subtle interplay between local and global anomalies. While freedom from global anomalies has been previously shown for the specific fermion content of the SM by embedding the SM in an anomaly-free $SU(5)$ GUT, our results here remain true when the SM fermion content is extended arbitrarily. Going beyond the SM gauge groups, we show that there are no new global anomalies in extensions of the (usual) SM gauge group by $U(1)^m$ for any integer $m$, which correspond to phenomenologically well-motivated BSM theories featuring multiple $Z^\prime$ bosons. Nor do we find any new global anomalies in various grand unified theories, including Pati-Salam and trinification models. We also consider global anomalies in a family of theories with gauge group $SU(N)\times Sp(M)\times U(1)$, which share the phase structure of the SM for certain $(N, M)$.

Special attention is given to cross-border exports and imports by truck, rail, pipeline, and air. Using the fully modified ordinary least squares (FM-OLS) approach, the paper finds that the GDP of the importing country is a pronounced factor influencing U.S.- Canada cross-border trade, suggesting that economic growth of the country is a powerful driver in the relative intensity of bilateral freight flows. The real exchange rate tends to be positively associated with U.S. imports, but negatively associated with U.S. exports, indicating that the U.S. dollar depreciation against the Canadian dollar increases demand for U.S. commodities in Canada, but weakens demand for Canadian commodities in the United States. The long-run effects of the selected economic variables on cross-border exports and imports are found to vary by mode of transportation. The Canadian GDP has a positive and significant effect on U.S. freight exports by all transportation modes, but U.S. exports by pipeline are more sensitive to a change in Canadian GDP than U.S. exports by truck and rail. The findings in this paper provide important policy and managerial implications for cross-border transportation planning in the United States and Canada.

description: Abundant evidence suggests that affective stimuli facilitate responses that lead to a compatible change in distance between the affective stimulus and the self (positive → approach, negative → avoidance). A special situation arises, when a barrier blocks the direct way toward or away from an affective stimulus. Recent evidence suggests that in such cases affective stimuli facilitate responses that ultimately lead to a compatible change in distance, even when this requires an initial step in the opposite and thus incompatible direction. The present study investigated whether this is the case even when relatively complex processing is required to recognize the presence of a barrier and, thus, the need for a detour. Employing a stimulus-response-compatibility task, we asked participants to move a manikin along the pathways of a maze toward or away from a positive or negative stimulus. The direct way was possible on half of the trials and blocked by a barrier on the other half of the trials. In the latter case, the manikin had to first be moved in the direction opposite to the position ultimately intended. We manipulated between participants the type of barrier and, thus, the complexity of cognitive processing required to recognize the need for a detour. In the simple condition, a black bar was presented as a barrier on the way. In the complex condition, a blue or yellow bar was presented, and the color indicated whether the bar constituted a barrier (locked gate) or not (open gate). Replicating and extending previous findings, the present study shows that affective stimuli facilitate ultimately (not immediately) compatible approach–avoidance responses, even when relatively complex processing is required to recognize the need for a detour.

description: Networks of chaotic coupled maps are considered as string and language generators. It is shown that such networks can be used as encrypting systems where the ciphertext contains information about the evolution of the network and also about the way to select the plaintext symbols from the string associated to the network evolution. The secret key provides the network parameters, such as the coupling strengths.

description: We have developed photometric techniques that can be applied to images with highly-variable backgrounds, as well as to slightly-extended objects (object size comparable to or smaller than PSF size). We have shown that ordinary stellar PSF-fitting photometry can be applied to slightly-extended objects, provided that one applies a systematic correction to the photometry that is a function primarily of the observed sharpness. Applying these techniques to the Cepheid target NGC 3627, we find that we are successfully able to photometer the stars and clusters, as well as discriminating the cluster population with a negligible number of false detections.

description: The implementation of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) at the state level has the potential to allow transportation agencies to proactively address safety concerns. However, the widespread utilization of HSM faces significant barriers as many state departments of transportations (DOTs) do not have sufficient HSM-required highway inventory data. Many techniques have been utilized by state DOTs and local agencies to collect highway inventory data for other purposes. Nevertheless, it is unknown which of these methods or any combination of them is capable of efficiently collecting the required dataset while minimizing cost and safety concerns. The focus of this study is to characterize the capability of existing methods for collecting highway inventory data vital to the implementation of the recently published HSM. More specifically, this study evaluated existing highway inventory methods through a nationwide survey and a field trial of identified promising highway inventory data collection (HIDC) methods on various types of highway segments. A comparative analysis was conducted to present an example on how to incorporate weights provided by state DOT stakeholders to select the most suitable HIDC method for the specific purpose.

description: This paper applies a stochastic cost frontier model to a panel of 54 major airports over 2002-2008 to examine how the two dominant governance forms of publicly owned airports in the United States and Canada, namely, operation and governance by a government (city, county, or state) branch, or by an airport authority, affect airport efficiency performance. Our key findings are (a) airports operated by an airport authority achieve higher cost efficiency (on average, 14% higher technical efficiency) than those operated by a government branch; (b) airports operated by a government branch have lower labor share than those operated by an airport authority; and (c) there is no statistically significant difference in the efficiency performance between airports operated by U.S. airport authorities and Canadian airport authorities.
Quantum state filtering and discrimination between sets of Boolean functions

description: The problem of quantum state filtering consists of determining whether an unknown quantum state, which is chosen from a known set of states, is either a particular, specified state, or not. We consider this problem for the case that the filtering procedure is required to be unambiguous, which necessitates admitting inconclusive answers when the given states are not orthogonal. As an application, we propose an efficient, probabilistic procedure for distinguishing between sets of Boolean functions, which is an extension of the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm.

description: We investigate $\ovar{B^0} \to D_s^- π^+$ decay in perturbative QCD approach which has recently been applied to $B$ meson decays. $\ovar{B^0} \to D_s^- π^+$ decay (and its charge conjugated mode) can be one of the hopeful modes to determine $|V_{ub}|$ since it occurs through $b \to u$ transition only. We estimate both factorizable and non-factorizable contribution, and show that the non-factorizable contribution is much less than the factorizable one. Our calculation gives ${BR}(\ovar{B^0} \to D_s^- π^+) = (50 \sim 70) \times f_{Ds}^2|{V_{ub}}{V_{cs}}|^2$.

description: Infrastructure public-private partnerships (“P3s”) have gained considerable recognition as useful policy tools for state and local governments to deliver critically needed infrastructure projects. The objective of this study is to empirically test one of the claims often made regarding states’ motivations for employing this procurement mechanism: P3s can help overcome fiscal constraints on state infrastructure investment. In addition, this study empirically analyzes how state P3 enabling legislation affects the behavior of both the public and private sectors. A regular logit model and a fixed effects logit panel model are employed to test the hypothesis that states with more severe fiscal constraints are more likely to seek P3s for highway infrastructure construction and finance. After controlling for such factors as state economic condition, legislative political affiliation, and highway travel demand, the empirical results indicate that states’ fiscal constraints are not associated with the propensity to use highway P3 projects.

description: A class of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras which generalise the notion of Taft algebras is studied. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for these Hopf algebras to omit a pair in involution, that is, to not have a group-like and a character implementing the square of the antipode. As a consequence we prove the existence of an infinite set of examples of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras without such pairs. This has implications for the theory of anti-Yetter-Drinfeld modules as well as biduality of representations of Hopf algebras. This article has been accepted for publication in Communications in Algebra, published by Taylor & Francis.
