description: The availability of deep hedging has opened new horizons for solving hedging problems under a large variety of realistic market conditions. At the same time, any model - be it a traditional stochastic model or a market generator - is at best an approximation of market reality, prone to model-misspecification and estimation errors. This raises the question, how to furnish a modelling setup with tools that can address the risk of discrepancy between anticipated distribution and market reality, in an automated way. Automated robustification is currently attracting increased attention in numerous investment problems, but it is a delicate task due to its imminent implications on risk management. Hence, it is beyond doubt that more activity can be anticipated on this topic to converge towards a consensus on best practices.
 This paper presents a natural extension of the original deep hedging framework to address uncertainty in the data generating process via an adversarial approach inspired by GANs to automate robustification in our hedging objective. This is achieved through an interplay of three modular components: (i) a (deep) hedging engine, (ii) a data-generating process (that is model agnostic permitting a large variety of classical models as well as machine learning-based market generators), and (iii) a notion of distance on model space to measure deviations between our market prognosis and reality. We do not restrict the ambiguity set to a region around a reference model, but instead penalize deviations from the anticipated distribution. Our suggested choice for each component is motivated by model agnosticism, allowing a seamless transition between settings. Since all individual components are already used in practice, we believe that our framework is easily adaptable to existing functional settings.
An aerodynamic study of the "electric wind"
Creators: name: Harney, Donald James
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology

Subjects: Aeronautics

description: The basic physical process considered is the appearance of a pressure gradient in a slightly ionized gas under the influence of an electric field. On a molecular scale this process involves the acceleration of ions in an electric field and the transfer of momentum to the main body of the fluid through collisions.

A particular phenomenon involving this basic process is the pressure gradient in a point corona discharge and the resulting "electric wind". The experimental arrangement studied is a point to a downstream coaxial cylinder discharge in air.

The difficulity of applying boundary conditions to the mathematical description of the process requires some simplifying assumptions. A simple one-dimensional model of the physical situation is considered, the electrical field equations being approached from the consideration of a space charge limited current. The functional relations derived appear consistent with the experimental results for the limiting cases implied by the assumptions.

Velocity variations encountered in the induced flow of air present questions regarding the bulk parameter which describes the molecular interchange of momentum, the ion mobility. While this experiment was not for the purpose of measuring ion mobilities, it is believed that in any applications involving the basic process in the working fluid of the aerodynamicist the time, density, temperature and humidity dependence of the ion mobility requires data which is not now available.

description: Strong magnetic fields such as those found on white dwarfs have significant effects on the electronic structure of atoms and molecules. However, the vast majority of molecular studies in the literature in such fields are carried out with Gaussian basis sets designed for zero field, leading to large basis set truncation errors [Lehtola et al, Mol. Phys. 2020, 118, e1597989]. In this work, we aim to identify the failures of the Gaussian basis sets in atomic calculations to guide the design of new basis sets for strong magnetic fields. We achieve this by performing fully numerical electronic structure calculations at the complete basis set (CBS) limit for the ground state and low lying excited states of the atoms $1 \le Z \le 18$ in weak to intermediate magnetic fields. We also carry out finite-field calculations for a variety of Gaussian basis sets, introducing a real-orbital approximation for the magnetic-field Hamiltonian. Our primary focus is on the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set, which has been used in many works in the literature. A study of the differences in total energies of the fully numerical CBS limit calculations and the approximate Gaussian basis calculations is carried out to provide insight into basis set truncation errors. Examining a variety of states over the range of magnetic field strengths from $B = 0$ to $B = 0.6 B_0$, we observe significant differences for the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set, while much smaller errors are afforded by the benchmark-quality AHGBSP3-9 basis set [Lehtola, J. Chem. Phys. 2020, 152, 134108]. This suggests that there is considerable room to improve Gaussian basis sets for calculations at finite magnetic fields.

description: We investigate universal behavior in elastic atom-dimer scattering below the dimer breakup threshold calculating the atom-dimer effective-range function $ak\cotδ$. Using the He-He system as a reference, we solve the Schrödinger equation for a family of potentials having different values of the two-body scattering length $a$ and we compare our results to the universal zero-range form deduced by Efimov, $ak\cotδ=c_1(ka)+c_2(ka)\cot[s_0\ln(κ_*a)+ϕ(ka)]$, for selected values of the three-body parameter $κ_*$. Using the parametrization of the universal functions $c_1,c_2,ϕ$ given in the literature, a good agreement with the universal formula is obtained after introducing a particular type of finite-range corrections. Furthermore, we show that the same parametrization describes a very different system: nucleon-deuteron scattering below the deuteron breakup threshold. Our analysis confirms the universal character of the process, and relates the pole energy in the effective-range function of nucleon-deuteron scattering to the three-body parameter $κ_*$.

description: Properties of a single impurity in a one-dimensional Fermi gas are investigated in homogeneous and trapped geometries. In a homogeneous system we use McGuire's expression [J. B. McGuire, J. Math. Phys. 6, 432 (1965)] to obtain interaction and kinetic energies, as well as the local pair correlation function. The energy of a trapped system is obtained (i) by generalizing McGuire expression (ii) within local density approximation (iii) using perturbative approach in the case of a weakly interacting impurity and (iv) diffusion Monte Carlo method. We demonstrate that a closed formula based on the exact solution of the homogeneous case provides a precise estimation for the energy of a trapped system for arbitrary coupling constant of the impurity even for a small number of fermions. We analyze energy contributions from kinetic, interaction and potential components, as well as spatial properties such as the system size. Finally, we calculate the frequency of the breathing mode. Our analysis is directly connected and applicable to the recent experiments in microtraps.

description: Exploration and trapping properties of random walkers that may evanesce at any time as they walk have seen very little treatment in the literature, and yet a finite lifetime is a frequent occurrence, and its effects on a number of random walk properties may be profound. For instance, whereas the average number of distinct sites visited by an immortal walker grows with time without bound, that of a mortal walker may, depending on dimensionality and rate of evanescence, remain finite or keep growing with the passage of time. This number can in turn be used to calculate other classic quantities such as the survival probability of a target surrounded by diffusing traps. If the traps are immortal, the survival probability will vanish with increasing time. However, if the traps are evanescent, the target may be spared a certain death. We analytically calculate a number of basic and broadly used quantities for evanescent random walkers.

description: Genetic linkage may result in the expression of multiple products from a polycistronic transcript, under the control of a single promoter. In animals, protein-coding polycistronic transcripts are rare. However, microRNAs are frequently clustered in the genomes of animals, and these clusters are often transcribed as a single unit. The evolution of microRNA clusters has been the subject of much speculation, and a selective advantage of clusters of functionally related microRNAs is often proposed. However, the origin of microRNA clusters has not been so far explored. Here we study the evolution of microRNA clusters in Drosophila melanogaster. We observed that the majority of microRNA clusters arose by the de novo formation of new microRNA-like hairpins in existing microRNA transcripts. Some clusters also emerged by tandem duplication of a single microRNA. Comparative genomics show that these clusters are unlikely to split or undergo rearrangements. We did not find any instances of clusters appearing by rearrangement of pre-existing microRNA genes. We propose a model for microRNA cluster evolution in which selection over one of the microRNAs in the cluster interferes with the evolution of the other linked microRNAs. Our analysis suggests that the study of microRNAs and small RNAs must consider linkage associations.

description: Objective: To explore the characteristics of cancer patients who cryopreserved sperm/testicular tissue samples in the Cryobank of Charite-Universitatsmedizin Berlin between 2004 and 2019, and the ART utilization rate with associated outcomes. Methods: Retrospective data were available for 506 cancer patients, of which 46 (9.1%) had used their samples for artificial reproductive technologies (ART). Corresponding cycle information was collected from external fertility centers. Results: Our cohort included 53/506 (10.5%) patients aged < 18 years at diagnosis. While adolescents and adults mainly banked sperm, adolescents showed higher rates of testicular tissue cryopreservation before (11.8%, 6/51 vs. 6.4%, 26/406) and after treatment (16.7%, 4/24 vs. 7.8%, 13/167). At study conduction, storage had been ended for 44.8% (269/601) of samples. The majority of samples used for ART were requested within the first 3 years after cryopreservation (71.5%, 28/39, range = 0-12 years). Pregnancy rate was 51.4% (19/37 cycles), resulting in 11 singleton births, 3 twin pairs, and 4 miscarriages. Conclusion: With the new advantage of public health insurance coverage of fertility preservation (FP) in Germany, an increased utilization has already been noticed in our center, emphasizing the necessity of further knowledge for individual counseling. Adolescent cancer patients need to be addressed specifically, as these patients show especially low cryopreservation rates.

description: Purpose: Adrenal gland metastases (AGMs) are a common manifestation of metastatic tumor spread, especially in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). In patients with a limited systemic tumor burden, effective treatments for AGMs are needed. Due to varying fractionation schemes and limited reports, short-course treatment results for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for AGMs are lacking. This work analyzes the outcomes of short-course SBRT for AGMs. Methods: Patients who underwent robotic SBRT for AGMs with one to five fractions were eligible for analysis. Results: In total, data from 55 patients with 72 AGMs from two institutions were analyzed. Most AGMs originated from renal cell carcinoma (38%) and NSCLC (35%). The median follow-up was 16.4 months. The median prescription dose and isodose line were 24 Gy and 70%, respectively. Most patients (85%) received SBRT with just one fraction. The median biologically effective dose assuming an alpha/beta ratio of 10 (BED10) was 80.4 Gy. The local control and progression-free survival after 1 and 2 years were 92.9%, 67.8%, and 46.2%, as well as 24.3%, respectively. Thirteen patients (24%) suffered from grade 1 or 2 toxicities. The BED10 showed a significant impact on LC (p < 0.01). Treatments with a BED10 equal to or above the median were associated with a better LC (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Robotic SBRT is an efficient and safe treatment modality for AGM. Treatment-associated side effects are sporadic and manageable. Results suggest short-course SBRT to be a preferable and time-saving treatment option for the management of AGMs if an adequate BED10 can be safely applied.

description: Rationalization, a core concept of Max Weber’s sociology, has so far largely been ignored in International Relations (IR) theory discussions, although his ideas about rationalization open new pathways for theorizing modernity and conflict. We revisit Weber’s concepts of rationalization and domination to show the limits of two key bodies of related knowledge in IR: scholarship on international organizations as bureaucracies and ideas on rationalization in the world polity approach. Rereading Weber’s approach to rationalization provides a distinct ground for our understanding of the current internationalization of rule. We illustrate the contribution our approach to rationalization makes by looking at budget support to sub-Saharan African states, and Mozambique in particular. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications that a critical rereading of Max Weber has for international politics.

description: This paper gives an in-depth study of a multiple-antenna wireless communication scenario in which a weak signal received at an intermediate relay station is amplified and then forwarded to the final destination. The key quantity determining system performance is the statistical properties of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) γ at the destination. Under certain assumptions on the encoding structure, recent work has characterized the SNR distribution through its moment generating function, in terms of a certain Hankel determinant generated via a deformed Laguerre weight. Here, we employ two different methods to describe the Hankel determinant. First, we make use of ladder operators satisfied by orthogonal polynomials to give an exact characterization in terms of a "double-time" Painlevé differential equation, which reduces to Painlevé V under certain limits. Second, we employ Dyson's Coulomb Fluid method to derive a closed form approximation for the Hankel determinant. The two characterizations are used to derive closed-form expressions for the cumulants of γ, and to compute performance quantities of engineering interest.

description: В рамках компьютерного эксперимента с использованием метода конечных элементов разработана методика динамической визуализации морфологии температурного поля в конструкции профильной тепловой трубы при наличии в паровом канале дефекта в виде газовой пробки. Для модели равномерного пускового режима (τ = 0÷120 с) и при максимальном значении температуры ТИИТП = 323 К индуцированного фотонным нагревом источника теплового потока в центре тепловой трубы выявлена степень изменчивости полевых характеристик. Показано, что наиболее значительные изменения полевых характеристик связаны с градиентом температуры по выделенному контуру, максимальное значение которого в среднем составило 14500-24500 К/м на расстоянии 500 мкм от ИИТП. Для тепловой трубы с дефектом были характерны нелинейный характер изменения градиента температуры и его повышенные значения.

description: We have reanalyzed the giant outburst of the blazar PKS 1510-089 (z=0.36) that occurred on 2011 October-November. The gamma-ray flux in the 0.1-100 GeV energy range exceeded the value of 10^-5 ph/cm2/s for several days. The peak flux was reached on 2011 October 19, with a value of 4.4 x 10^-5 ph/cm2/s, which in turn corresponds to a luminosity of 2 x 10^49 erg/s. A very short timescale variability was measured. Particularly on 2011 October 18, the flux-doubling time was as short as 20 minutes. This is the shortest variability ever detected in the MeV-GeV energy band. We compared our analysis with two other outbursts observed in 2009 March and 2012 February-March, when the blazar was also detected by HESS and MAGIC to infer information about the emission at hundreds of GeV.

description: We present a detailed analysis of the contribution of small-angle Nambu-Goldstone boson (phonon) collisions to the shear viscosity, $η$, in a superfluid atomic Fermi gas close to the unitarity limit. We show that the experimental values of the shear viscosity coefficient to entropy ratio, $η/s$, obtained at the lowest reached temperature can be reproduced assuming that phonons give the leading contribution to $η$. The phonon contribution is evaluated considering $1 \leftrightarrow 2$ processes and taking into account the finite size of the experimental system. In particular, for very low temperatures, $T \lesssim 0.1 T_F$, we find that phonons are ballistic and the contribution of phonons to the shear viscosity is determined by the processes that take place at the interface between the superfluid and the normal phase. This result is independent of the detailed form of the phonon dispersion law and leads to two testable predictions: the shear viscosity should correlate with the size of the optical trap and it should decrease with decreasing temperature. For higher temperatures the detailed form of the phonon dispersion law becomes relevant and, within our model, we find that the experimental data for $η/s$ can be reproduced assuming that phonons have an anomalous dispersion law.

description: Political science has only marginally worked on the most recent dynamics of war development in the Middle East and on the African continent. This article suggests an interpretation, based on the “Hamburg approach” to the study of war, which focuses on conflictive modernization processes and institutional legitimacy deficits. Whilst form and incumbency of state domination are at the center of these violent conflicts, their most visible product of the laboratories of multilateral intervention is rather an internationalization of political domination than what liberal approaches label as “global governance”. In order to grasp these changes, political science has to re-think the sociology of the state and to rediscover political violence as a subject of research and theory.

description: Many particle physics analyses which need to discriminate some background process from a signal ignore event-by-event resolutions of kinematic variables. Adding this information, as is done for missing momentum significance, can only improve the power of existing techniques. We therefore propose the use of significance variables which combine kinematic information with event-by-event resolutions. We begin by giving some explicit examples of constructing optimal significance variables. Then, we consider three applications: new heavy gauge bosons, Higgs to $ττ$, and direct stop squark pair production. We find that significance variables can provide additional discriminating power over the original kinematic variables: $\sim$ 20% improvement over $m_T$ in the case of $H\rightarrowττ$ case, and $\sim$ 30% impovement over $m_{T2}$ in the case of the direct stop search.

description: Introduction: Noninterventional study (NIS) on application and effectiveness of primary G-CSF prophylaxis with lipegfilgrastim in primary breast cancer patients undergoing dose-dense (dd) or intense-dose-dense (idd) chemotherapy (CTx) regimen in daily clinical practice. Methods: Prospective, multicenter, single-arm, NIS in 41 private practices and 27 hospitals in Germany. Results: Data analysis of 282 patients with a mean age of 49 years (93.6% of patients <65 years) was performed. Hormone receptor status was triple negative in 29.8% of patients, and 81.9% of patients were HER2 negative. A total of 73.8% of patients received "EC dd -> taxane CTx." Patients received lipegfilgrastim prophylaxis in 97.5% of 1,121 documented dd/idd cycles. Overall, the study registered 275 events of SN (CTCAE grade 3 or 4) and 9 events of FN. During the first dd cycle, SN occurred in 33.3% and FN in 1.1% of patients. CTx delay or dose reduction due to neutropenia was required in 2.5% of patients during the 4 dd cycles with lipegfilgrastim support. Overall, 314 adverse events (AEs) were reported from 107 patients and 27 serious AEs from 21 patients. None of the SAEs was "fatal," and CTCAE grade was mostly (89.6%) assessed as "1" or "2." According to the treating physicians, 99.3% of all patients benefitted from lipegfilgrastim prophylaxis, and tolerability was mostly rated "very good" or "good." Conclusion: These results suggest that primary lipegfilgrastim prophylaxis is effective and safe in clinical routine and is beneficial in primary breast cancer patients undergoing dd/idd-ETC CTx.

description: Erickcek, Kamionkowski and Carroll proposed in 2008 that the dipole modulation of the CMB could be due to a very large scale perturbation of the field $ϕ$ causing the primordial curvature perturbation. We repeat their calculation using weaker assumptions and the current data. If $ϕ$ is the inflaton of {\em any} single-field inflation with the attractor behaviour, the asymmetry is almosy certainly too small. If instead $ϕ$ is {\em any} curvaton-type field (ie.\ one with the canonical kinetic term and a negligible effect during inflation) the asymmetry can agree with observation if $|\fnl|$ in the equilateral configuration is $\simeq 10$ for $k\mone=1\Gpc$ and $\lsim 3$ for $k\mone=1\Mpc$. An $\fnl$ with these properties can apparently be obtained from the curvaton with an axionic potential. Within any specific curvaton-type model, the function $\fnl(k_1,k_2,k_3)$ required to generate the asymmetry would be determined, and could perhaps already be confirmed or ruled out using existing Planck or WMAP data.

description: Semantic communication has gained significant attention from researchers as a promising technique to replace conventional communication in the next generation of communication systems, primarily due to its ability to reduce communication costs. However, little literature has studied its effectiveness in multi-user scenarios, particularly when there are variations in the model architectures used by users and their computing capacities. To address this issue, we explore a semantic communication system that caters to multiple users with different model architectures by using a multi-purpose transmitter at the base station (BS). Specifically, the BS in the proposed framework employs semantic and channel encoders to encode the image for transmission, while the receiver utilizes its local channel and semantic decoder to reconstruct the original image. Our joint source-channel encoder at the BS can effectively extract and compress semantic features for specific users by considering the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and computing capacity of the user. Based on the network status, the joint source-channel encoder at the BS can adaptively adjust the length of the transmitted signal. A longer signal ensures more information for high-quality image reconstruction for the user, while a shorter signal helps avoid network congestion. In addition, we propose a hybrid loss function for training, which enhances the perceptual details of reconstructed images. Finally, we conduct a series of extensive evaluations and ablation studies to validate the effectiveness of the proposed system.
