description: Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and resonant ARPES, we report evidence of strong anisotropic conduction-f electron mixing (c-f mixing) in CeBi by observing a largely expanded Ce-5d pocket at low temperature, with no change in the Bi-6p bands. The Fermi surface (FS) expansion is accompanied by a pronounced spectral weight transfer from the local 4f 0 peak of Ce (corresponding to Ce3+) to the itinerant conduction bands near the Fermi level. Careful analysis suggests that the observed large FS change (with a volume expansion of the electron pocket up to 40%) can most naturally be explained by a small valence change (~ 1%) of Ce, which coexists with a very weak Kondo screening. Our work therefore provides evidence for a FS change driven by real charge fluctuations deep in the Kondo limit, which is made possible by the low carrier density.

description: Problem: How can we design patient cost prediction models that effectively address the challenges of heterogeneity in administrative claims (AC) data to ensure accurate, fair, and generalizable predictions, especially for high-need (HN) patients with complex chronic conditions?
 Relevance: Accurate and equitable patient cost predictions are vital for developing health management policies and optimizing resource allocation, which can lead to significant cost savings for healthcare payers, including government agencies and private insurers. Addressing disparities in prediction outcomes for HN patients ensures better economic and clinical decision-making, benefiting both patients and payers.
 Methodology: This study is grounded in socio-technical considerations that emphasize the interplay between technical systems (e.g., deep learning models) and humanistic outcomes (e.g., fairness in healthcare decisions). It incorporates representation learning and entropy measurement to address heterogeneity and complexity in data and patient profiles, particularly for HN patients. We propose a channel-wise deep learning framework that mitigates data heterogeneity by segmenting AC data into separate channels based on types of codes (e.g., diagnosis, procedures) and costs. This approach is paired with a flexible evaluation design that uses multi-channel entropy measurement to assess patient heterogeneity.
 Results: The proposed channel-wise models reduce prediction errors by 23% compared to single-channel models, leading to 16.4% and 19.3% reductions in overpayments and underpayments, respectively. Notably, the reduction in prediction bias is significantly higher for HN patients, demonstrating effectiveness in handling heterogeneity and complexity in data and patient profiles. This demonstrates the potential for applying channel-wise modeling to domains with similar heterogeneity challenges.

description: The topology of center vortices is studied. For this purpose it is sufficient to consider mathematically idealised vortices, defined in a gauge invariant way as closed (infinitely thin) flux surfaces (in D=4 dimensions) which contribute the n'th power of a non-trivial center element to Wilson loops when they are n-foldly linked to the latter. In ordinary 3-space generic center vortices represent closed magnetic flux loops which evolve in time. I show that the topological charge of such a time-dependent vortex loop can be entirely expressed by the temporal changes of its writhing number.

description: There is a growing trend of consumer preference for the use of natural food preservatives either to prevent the growth of food-borne pathogens, or to delay the onset of food spoilage. In this investigation, an in-vitro screening method was used to determine the antibacterial efficacy of a 10% w/v suspension of the natural leaves of the herb culantro (Eryngium foetidum), against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium. The apparent sensitivity of the gram-positive bacteria and resistance of the gram-negative bacteria were distinct. Significant antibacterial activity was evident against S. aureus and B. subtilis, but no apparent antibacterial activity was evident against E. coli and S. Typhimurium. There was approximately 100% kill for both S. aureus and B. subtilis. The results obtained from this investigation suggest that culantro leaves can potentially be used as a food preservative, by increasing the safety and extending the shelf life of food products.

description: We present the first wavelet-based all-electron density-functional calculations to include gradient corrections and the first in a solid. Direct comparison shows this approach to be unique in providing systematic ``transparent'' convergence, convergence with a priori prediction of errors, to beyond chemical (millihartree) accuracy. The method is ideal for exploration of materials under novel conditions where there is little experience with how traditional methods perform and for the development and use of chemically accurate density functionals, which demand reliable access to such precision.

description: Rapid trade-led economic growth in emerging Asia has been shifting the global economic and industrial centres of gravity away from the north Atlantic, raising the importance of Asia in world trade but also altering the commodity composition of trade by Asia and other regions. What began with Japan in the 1950s and Korea and Taiwan from the late 1960s has spread to the much more populous ASEAN region, China and India. This paper examines how that growth and associated structural changes are altering agricultural markets in particular and thereby food security. It does so retrospectively and by projecting a model of the world economy which compares alternative growth strategies, trade policy scenarios and savings behaviors to 2030. Projected impacts on sectoral shares of GDP, ‘openness’ to trade and the composition and direction of trade are drawn out, followed by effects of the boom in non-farm sectors on agricultural self-sufficiency and real food consumption per capita in Asia and elsewhere. The paper concludes by drawing implications for policies that can address more efficiently Asia’s concerns about food security and rural-urban income disparity than the trade policy measures used by earlier-industrializing Northeast Asia.

title: Forecasting Short-Term Real GDP Growth in the Euro Area and Japan Using Unrestricted MIDAS Regressions
Creators: name: Leboeuf, Maxime

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2014

description: In this paper, the authors develop a new tool to improve the short-term forecasting of real GDP growth in the euro area and Japan. This new tool, which uses unrestricted mixed-data sampling (U-MIDAS) regressions, allows an evaluation of the usefulness of a wide range of indicators in predicting short-term real GDP growth. In line with previous Bank studies, the results suggest that the purchasing managers’ index (PMI) is among the best-performing indicators to forecast real GDP growth in the euro area, while consumption indicators and business surveys (the PMI and the Economy Watchers Survey) have the most predictive power for Japan. Moreover, the results indicate that combining the predictions from a number of indicators improves forecast accuracy and can be an effective way to mitigate the volatility associated with monthly indicators. Overall, our preferred U-MIDAS model specification performs well relative to various benchmark models and forecasters.
description: Dans cette étude, les auteurs présentent l’outil qu’ils ont mis au point afin d’améliorer les prévisions de la croissance du PIB réel à court terme pour la zone euro et le Japon. Ce nouvel outil, qui s’appuie sur un modèle de régression fondé sur un échantillonnage de données de fréquence mixte sans contrainte (U-MIDAS), permet d’évaluer l’utilité d’une vaste gamme d’indicateurs pour prévoir la croissance du PIB réel à court terme. Corroborant les précédentes recherches menées par la Banque, les résultats de l’étude donnent à penser que l’indice des directeurs d’achat se classe parmi les indicateurs les plus performants pour prévoir la croissance du PIB réel à court terme dans la zone euro et que, dans le cas du Japon, les indicateurs de la consommation et les enquêtes réalisées auprès des entreprises (indice des directeurs d’achat et enquêtes auprès des observateurs de l’économie) ont le meilleur pouvoir prédictif. Les résultats montrent par ailleurs que la combinaison des prédictions tirées de plusieurs indicateurs améliore l’exactitude des prévisions et peut être un moyen efficace d’atténuer la volatilité associée aux indicateurs mensuels. Dans l’ensemble, la spécification du modèle U-MIDAS que les auteurs privilégient donne de bons résultats, par comparaison avec les prévisions de référence issues d’un groupe de modèles et de prévisionnistes.

description: Peaks in the magnetoresistivity of the layered superconductor $κ$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu(NCS)$_2$, measured in fields $\leq 45$ T applied within the layers, show that the Fermi surface is extended in the interlayer direction and enable the interlayer transfer integral ($t_{\perp} \approx 0.04$ meV) to be deduced. However, the quasiparticle scattering rate $τ^{-1}$ is such that $\hbar/τ\sim 6t_{\perp}$, implying that $κ$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu(NCS)$_2$ meets the criterion used to identify interlayer incoherence. The applicability of this criterion to anisotropic materials is thus shown to be questionable.

description: Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the shear thinning behavior of immiscible symmetric polymer blends. The phase separated polymers are subjected to a simple shear flow imposed by moving a wall parallel to the fluid-fluid interface. The viscosity begins to shear thin at much lower rates in the bulk than at the interface. The entire shear rate dependence of the interfacial viscosity is consistent with a shorter effective chain length $s^*$ that also describes the width of the interface. This $s^*$ is independent of chain length $N$ and is a function only of the degree of immiscibility of the two polymers. Changes in polymer conformation are studied as a function of position and shear rate.Shear thinning correlates more closely with a decrease in the component of the radius of gyration along the velocity gradient than with elongation along the flow. At the interface, this contraction of chains is independent of $N$ and consistent with the bulk behavior for chains of length $s^*$. The distribution of conformational changes along chains is also studied. Central regions begin to stretch at a shear rate that decreases with increasing $N$, while shear induced changes at the ends of chains are independent of $N$.

(Figs. 232–238)
 This is one of the most common species in temperate areas of the world, but males are rare other than in the eastern Mediterranean countries. This species is highly polyphagous, breeding both in the flowers and on the leaves of many kinds of plants, especially Allium species (onions, leeks and garlic), and is well known as one of the most important crop pests. This species is easily distinguished in this genus by the combination of the following character states: ocellar triangle without red pigment before KOH treatment, 7-segmented antennae (Fig. 233), postocular setae I to III subequal length (Fig. 232), fore wing first vein usually with four distal setae, metascutum (Fig. 234) with irregular reticulation having internal wrinkles and no CPS, tergite IX (Fig. 236) with one pair of CPS, pleurotergites without discal setae and with numerous ciliate microtrichia (Fig. 235), and sternites without discal setae. Male has abdominal tergite VIII (Fig. 237) with very small posteromarginal comb at middle, IX with S1 setae at level of S2 setae and subequal length to S2 setae, their bases equidistant; sternites without discal setae, III to V (Fig. 238) each with a transverse narrow pore plate, IV (or III) to VIII with S1 setae (VII to VIII also with S2 setae) in front of posterior margin.

description: The dS/CFT correspondence is illuminated through an analysis of massive scalar field theory in d-dimensional de Sitter space. We consider a one-parameter family of dS-invariant vacua related by Bogolyubov transformations and compute the corresponding Green functions. It is shown that none of these Green functions correspond to the one obtained by analytic continuation from AdS. Among this family of vacua are in (out) vacua which have no incoming (outgoing) particles on past (future) infinity. Surprisingly, it is shown that in odd spacetime dimensions the in and out vacua are the same, implying the absence of particle production for this state. The correlators of the boundary CFT, as defined by the dS/CFT correspondence, are shown to depend on the choice of vacuum state - the correlators with all points on past infinity vanish in the in vacuum. For dS_3 we argue that this bulk vacuum dependence of the correlators is dual to a deformation of the boundary CFT_2 by a specific marginal operator. It is also shown that Witten's non-standard de Sitter inner product (slightly modified) reduces to the standard inner product of the boundary field theory. Next we consider a scalar field in the Kerr-dS_3 Euclidean vacuum. A density matrix is constructed by tracing out over modes which are causally inaccessible to a single geodesic observer. This is shown to be a thermal state at the Kerr-dS_3 temperature and angular potential. It is further shown that, assuming Cardy's formula, the microscopic entropy of such a thermal state in the boundary CFT precisely equals the Bekenstein-Hawking value of one quarter the area of the Kerr-dS_3 horizon.

description: The Information Bottleneck (IB) method (\cite{tishby2000information}) provides an insightful and principled approach for balancing compression and prediction for representation learning. The IB objective $I(X;Z)-βI(Y;Z)$ employs a Lagrange multiplier $β$ to tune this trade-off. However, in practice, not only is $β$ chosen empirically without theoretical guidance, there is also a lack of theoretical understanding between $β$, learnability, the intrinsic nature of the dataset and model capacity. In this paper, we show that if $β$ is improperly chosen, learning cannot happen -- the trivial representation $P(Z|X)=P(Z)$ becomes the global minimum of the IB objective. We show how this can be avoided, by identifying a sharp phase transition between the unlearnable and the learnable which arises as $β$ is varied. This phase transition defines the concept of IB-Learnability. We prove several sufficient conditions for IB-Learnability, which provides theoretical guidance for choosing a good $β$. We further show that IB-learnability is determined by the largest confident, typical, and imbalanced subset of the examples (the conspicuous subset), and discuss its relation with model capacity. We give practical algorithms to estimate the minimum $β$ for a given dataset. We also empirically demonstrate our theoretical conditions with analyses of synthetic datasets, MNIST, and CIFAR10.

description: We have performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) on layered ternary compounds ZrGeXc (Xc = S, Se, and Te) with square Ge lattices. ARPES measurements with bulk-sensitive soft-x-ray photons revealed a quasi-two-dimensional bulk-band structure with the bulk nodal loops protected by glide mirror symmetry of the crystal lattice. Moreover, high-resolution ARPES measurements near the Fermi level with vacuum-ultraviolet photons combined with first-principles band-structure calculations elucidated a Dirac-node-arc surface state traversing a tiny spin-orbit gap associated with the nodal loops. We found that this surface state commonly exists in ZrGeXc despite the difference in the shape of nodal loops. The present results suggest that the spin-orbit coupling and the multiple nodal loops cooperatively play a key role in creating the exotic Dirac-node-arc surface states in this class of topological line-node semimetals.

description: In this article initial steps in an analysis of cyclic networks of quantum logic gates is given. Cyclic networks are those in which the qubit lines are loops. Here we have studied one and two qubit systems plus two qubit cyclic systems connected to another qubit on an acyclic line. The analysis includes the group classification of networks and studies of the dynamics of the qubits in the cyclic network and of the perturbation effects of an acyclic qubit acting on a cyclic network. This is followed by a discussion of quantum algorithms and quantum information processing with cyclic networks of quantum gates, and a novel implementation of a cyclic network quantum memory. Quantum sensors via cyclic networks are also discussed.

description: As with the 2008 Farm Act, the 2012 Farm Act is likely to have some sort of revenue-based support for producers of qualifying crops. Much debate over the negotiations on the 2012 Farm Act focuses on new programs for providing producers with support payments covering “shallow losses” in revenue. The main goal of this paper is to develop an approach to examine the sensitivity of the farmer’s downside risk protection and federal budgetary costs of marginal changes in the deductible in shallow loss program scenarios based on the Average Risk Coverage (ARC) program in the Senate’s April 26th draft of the 2012 Farm Bill. We find that average payments are elastic with respect to the revenue program’s coverage rate. In addition, using this approach, the paper compares payments and their impacts on farm revenue for county and farm level implementations of the revenue program. We find that based on expected payments and impacts on downside revenue risk, producers are likely to prefer the county level implementation of the revenue support program to the farm level version.

description: The largest Lyapunov exponent of an ergodic Hamiltonian system is the rate of exponential growth of the norm of a typical vector in the tangent space. For an N-particle Hamiltonian system, with a smooth Hamiltonian of the type p^2 + v(q), the evolution of tangent vectors is governed by the Hessian matrix V of the potential. Ergodicity implies that the Lyapunov exponent is independent of initial conditions on the energy shell, which can then be chosen randomly according to the microcanonical distribution. In this way a stochastic process V(t) is defined, and the evolution equation for tangent vectors can now be seen as a stochastic differential equation. An equation for the evolution of the average squared norm of a tangent vector can be obtained using the standard theory in which the average propagator is written as a cummulant expansion. We show that if cummulants higher than the second one are discarded, the Lyapunov exponent can be obtained by diagonalizing a small-dimension matrix, which, in some cases, can be as small as 3x3. In all cases the matrix elements of the propagator are expressed in terms of correlation functions of the stochastic process. We discuss the connection between our approach and an alternative theory, the so-called geometric method.

description: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the interactions of the economic and ecological demands on agriculture for a farm in Germany with a whole farm modeling approach. Integration of agro-environmental indicators in the model framework enables a multiple goal optimization and the computation of trade-offs of indicators and economic returns of the farm. The estimated opportunity costs provide valuable hints on bottlenecks of the integration of environmental claims into agriculture and help to identify reasonable incentives for environmentally sound agriculture. Furthermore conflicts between conflicting goals can be integrated to find optimal pathways of sustainable agricultural development.

description: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the equality problem of generalized Bajraktarević means, i.e., to solve the functional equation \begin{equation}\label{E0}\tag{*} f^{(-1)}\bigg(\frac{p_1(x_1)f(x_1)+\dots+p_n(x_n)f(x_n)}{p_1(x_1)+\dots+p_n(x_n)}\bigg)=g^{(-1)}\bigg(\frac{q_1(x_1)g(x_1)+\dots+q_n(x_n)g(x_n)}{q_1(x_1)+\dots+q_n(x_n)}\bigg), \end{equation} which holds for all $x=(x_1,\dots,x_n)\in I^n$, where $n\geq 2$, $I$ is a nonempty open real interval, the unknown functions $f,g:I\to\mathbb{R}$ are strictly monotone, $f^{(-1)}$ and $g^{(-1)}$ denote their generalized left inverses, respectively, and $p=(p_1,\dots,p_n):I\to\mathbb{R}_{+}^n$ and $q=(q_1,\dots,q_n):I\to\mathbb{R}_{+}^n$ are also unknown functions. This equality problem in the symmetric two-variable (i.e., when $n=2$) case was already investigated and solved under sixth-order regularity assumptions by Losonczi in 1999. In the nonsymmetric two-variable case, assuming three times differentiability of $f$, $g$ and the existence of $i\in\{1,2\}$ such that either $p_i$ is twice continuously differentiable and $p_{3-i}$ is continuous on $I$, or $p_i$ is twice differentiable and $p_{3-i}$ is once differentiable on $I$, we prove that \eqref{E0} holds if and only if there exist four constants $a,b,c,d\in\mathbb{R}$ with $ad\neq bc$ such that \begin{equation*} cf+d>0,\qquad g=\frac{af+b}{cf+d},\qquad\mbox{and}\qquad q_\ell=(cf+d)p_\ell\qquad (\ell\in\{1,\dots,n\}). \end{equation*} In the case $n\geq 3$, we obtain the same conclusion with weaker regularity assumptions. Namely, we suppose that $f$ and $g$ are three times differentiable, $p$ is continuous and there exist $i,j,k\in\{1,\dots,n\}$ with $i\neq j\neq k\neq i$ such that $p_i,p_j,p_k$ are differentiable.

description: In 2004 and 2007 twelve New Member States (NMS) joined the European Union (EU), causing several changes in the field of agriculture. One of the major changes was the transformation of national agri-food trade. The aim of the paper is to analyse the effects of EU accession on NMS agri-food trade, especially considering revealed comparative advantages. Results suggest that the intensity of NMS agri-food trade has increased significantly after accession, though there was a serious deterioration in NMS agri-food trade balance in most cases. It has also become evident that NMS agri-food trade was highly concentrated by country and by product, though concentration has not changed significantly after EU accession. Moreover, our analyses highlight one of the most important characteristics of NMS agri-food trade structure - the focus on agri-food raw materials in export together with agri-food processed products in import. As to NMS agri-food trade specialisation, the diversity among member states becomes apparent. Almost all countries experienced a decrease in their comparative advantage after accession, though it still remained at an acceptable level in most cases. As for the stability of comparative advantage, results suggest a weakening trend, underpinned by the convergence of the pattern of revealed comparative advantage. By estimating the survival function to the sample, it is observable that the accession has radically changed the survival time of agri-food trade, meaning that revealed comparative advantage has not turned out to be persistent in the period analysed. From the policy perspective, there is a clear need for structural changes in NMS agriculture and agri-food sector in order to tackle the negative tendencies of national agri-food trade. The most important long-term goal should be the production and export of higher value-added processed products based on domestic raw materials.

description: The Multi-species RIM (Resistance and Integrated Management) model is used in this analysis to investigate the value of Roundup-Ready® canola in the simultaneous management of annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum) and wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum). It is likely that the transgenic canola variety resistant to the non-selective herbicides glyphosate will soon be introduced in Australian agriculture. The perceived advantage of growing these crops is the potential to control post-emergent weeds with excellent broad-spectrum herbicides, and without the yield penalty evident in triazine-resistant canola (grown widely in WA). This may also help prolong the life of selective herbicides, to which ryegrass and radish can be highly resistant. Therefore, the introduction of genetically modified glyphosate-resistant canola will, other factors being equal, not only increase the options for weed control, but increase the yield of the vast canola crops grown in WA. Conversely, increased usage of the herbicide to which the new crop is resistant can result in the evolution of resistance to that herbicide in weeds. These trade-offs are discussed here.

description: We analyze how the governmental market interventions during the commodity price peaks 2007/2008 and 2010/2011 have affected the transmission of price changes along the wheat-to-bread supply chain in Serbia. We aim to investigate if consumers benefitted from the wheat and flour export restrictions, which were supplemented by governmental wheat purchases in the domestic market, or if other members along the supply chain were able to gain advantage. Our analysis of price dynamics between wheat and flour prices within a Markov Switching Vector Error Correction Model suggests that the mills increased their margin and thus profits in the aftermath of the governmental interventions. The simulation of bread production costs makes evident that bakeries and even more retailers profited substantially from the crisis policy. We find that consumers benefitted from the governmental interventions only to a limited degree and experienced overall welfare losses. Compared with laissez-faire policy, the bread price increase was dampened by the governmental market interventions only at the beginning of the crisis. The additional strong bread price increase in April 2008 indirectly resulted from the governmental wheat purchases from the Serbian market.
