description: We introduce a Markov product structure for multivariate tail dependence functions, building upon the well-known Markov product for copulas. We investigate algebraic and monotonicity properties of this new product as well as its role in describing the tail behaviour of the Markov product of copulas. For the bivariate case, we show additional smoothing properties and derive a characterization of idempotents together with the limiting behaviour of n-fold iterations. Finally, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between bivariate tail dependence functions and a class of positive, substochastic operators. These operators are contractions both on $L^1(\mathbb{R}_+)$ and $L^\infty(\mathbb{R}_+)$ and constitute a natural generalization of Markov operators.

description: This dissertation investigates the tail behavior of stable distributions and uses stable laws as the foundation for modeling random shocks in currency markets in the univariate and multivariate setting. To estimate the characteristic exponent $\alpha$ of stable distributions, convergence of the tails of stable distributions to Pareto is often used. However, while it is known that the tails of stable distributions are asymptotically Paretian the point where the Paretian nature occurs is not known. Using accurate calculations of stable densities and distributions functions, we show that the point where stable distributions are asymptotically Paretian is a complicated function of $\alpha$ and $\beta$. Implications of asymptotic behavior of stable tails on estimates of the characteristic exponent are investigated. In particular, we show that the Hill estimates of $\alpha$ can be misleading, especially when $\alpha$ is near 2. Some analytical properties are derived for modes and densities of stable distributions. Due to exchange controls, most African countries are subject to a dual exchange regime where parallel and official exchange rate coexist. Empirical evidence shows that the marginal distributions of parallel and official exchange rates and parallel market premium are leptokurtic and asymmetric. By fitting a stable law to these distributions and estimating their parameters using maximum likelihood, we found that stable models approximate these distributions better than the normal model which has light tails. The spectral measure $\\Gamma$ for the random vector is estimated using the projection method, and its distribution on the unit circle is used to investigate the dependence structure between official and parallel exchange rate in a dual exchange regime. The location of the measure indicates that official and parallel exchange rates are generally positively associated, and most disturbances in the market seem to originate with the parallel market which has more variability.

description: This paper examines the optimal bundling strategies of a multiproduct monopoly in markets in which a seller cannot monitor and thereby restrict the purchases of buyers to a single bundle, while buyers have resale opportunities. In such markets, the standard mechanism through which bundling increases seller profits, based on price discrimination, is not feasible. The profit-maximizing bundling strategy is characterized, given the restrictions on pricing policies resulting from resale and a lack of monitoring. The welfare implications of optimal bundling are analyzed.
A variational minimization formulation for hydraulically induced fracturing in elastic-plastic solids

description: A variational modeling framework for hydraulically induced fracturing of elastic-plastic solids is developed in the present work. The developed variational structure provides a global minimization problem. While fracture propagation is modeled by means of a phase-field approach to fracture, plastic effects are taken into account by using a Drucker-Prager-type yield-criterion function. This yield-criterion function governs the plastic evolution of the fluid-solid mixture. Fluid storage and transport are described by a Darcy-Biot-type formulation. Thereby the fluid storage is decomposed into a contribution due to the elastic deformations and one due to the plastic deformations. A local return mapping scheme is used for the update of the plastic quantities. The global minimization structure demands a $H($div$)$-conforming finite-element formulation. Furthermore this is combined with an enhanced-assumed-strain formulation in order to overcome locking phenomena arising from the plastic deformations. The robustness and capabilities of the presented framework will be shown in a sequence of numerical examples.

description: We demonstrate that multiple copies of a bipartite entangled pure state may serve as a catalyst for certain entanglement transformations while a single copy cannot. Such a state is termed a "multiple-copy catalyst" for the transformations. A trade-off between the number of copies of source state and that of the catalyst is also observed. These results can be generalized to probabilistic entanglement transformations directly.

description: Economists and behavioural scientists are beginning to make extensive use of measures of subjective well-being, and such data are potentially of value to policy-makers. A particularly famous difficulty is that of “priming”: if the order or nature of survey questions changes people’s likely replies then we have grounds to be concerned about the reliability of wellbeing data and inferences from them. This study tests for priming effects from important life events. It presents evidence from a laboratory experiment which indicates that subjective well-being measures are in general robust to such concerns.

description: Around 1800, fundamental changes took place in topographic cartography. This period saw the transition to the creation of modern map series with extensive spatial reference. Modernisation began in France. There was then a contradictory transfer of knowledge to other states in the context of military conflicts. The most important aspect of modernisation concerned the greater homogeneity of topographic maps. In horizontal terms, the metrically homogeneous representation of space was established. In vertical terms, significant partial successes were achieved. The importance of the standardisation of map design was also already recognised. Homogeneous spatial representation in topographic cartography primarily served military spatial control; civilian concerns were still of secondary importance.
description: Um 1800 vollzogen sich grundlegende Änderungen in der topographischen Kartographie. In dieser Zeit erfolgte der Übergang zur Schaffung moderner Kartenwerke mit ausgedehntem räumlichem Bezug. Die Modernisierung begann in Frankreich. Es erfolgte dann ein widersprüchlicher Wissenstransfer in andere Staaten im Rahmen militärischer Auseinadersetzungen. Der wesentlichste Aspekt der Modernisierung betraf die höhere Homogenität der topographischen Karten. In horizontaler Beziehung kam es zur Durchsetzung der metrisch homogenen Raumdarstellung. In vertikaler Beziehung konnten bedeutende Teilerfolge erzielt werden. Auch die Bedeutung der Vereinheitlichung der Kartengestaltung wurde bereits erkannt. Die homogene Raumerfassung in der topographischen Kartographie diente in erster Linie der militärischen Raumbeherrschung, zivile Belange waren noch zweitrangig.

description: We employ a canonical variational framework for the predictive characterization of structural instabilities that develop during the diffusion-driven transient swelling of hydrogels under geometrical constraints. The variational formulation of finite elasticity coupled with Fickian diffusion has a two-field minimization structure, wherein the deformation map and the fluid-volume flux are obtained as minimizers of a time-discrete potential involving internal and external energetic contributions. Following spatial discretization, the minimization principle is implemented using a conforming Q$_1$RT$_0$ finite-element design, making use of the lowest-order Raviart-Thomas-type interpolations for the fluid-volume flux. To analyze the structural stability of a certain equilibrium state of the gel satisfying the minimization principle, we apply the local stability criterion on the incremental potential, which is based on the idea that a stable equilibrium state has the lowest potential energy among all possible states within an infinitesimal neighborhood. Using this criterion, it is understood that bifurcation-type structural instabilities are activated when the coupled global finite-element stiffness matrix loses its positive definiteness. This concept is then applied to determine the onset and nature of wrinkling instabilities occurring in a pair of representative film-substrate hydrogel systems. In particular, we analyze the dependencies of the critical buckling load and mode shape on the system geometry and material parameters.

description: Degeneracies in the spectrum of an adiabatically transported quantum system are important to determine the geometrical phase factor, and may be interpreted as magnetic monopoles. We investigate the mechanism by which constraints acting on the system, related to local symmetries, can create arbitrarily large monopole charges. These charges are associated with different geometries of the degeneracy. An explicit method to compute the charge as well as several illustrative examples are given.

description: We continue the enumeration of plane lattice paths avoiding the negative quadrant initiated by the first author in [Bousquet-M{é}lou, 2016]. We solve in detail a new case, the king walks, where all 8 nearest neighbour steps are allowed. As in the two cases solved in [Bousquet-M{é}lou, 2016], the associated generating function is proved to differ from a simple, explicit D-finite series (related to the enumeration of walks confined to the first quadrant) by an algebraic one. The principle of the approach is the same as in [Bousquet-M{é}lou, 2016], but challenging theoretical and computational difficulties arise as we now handle algebraic series of larger degree. We also explain why we expect the observed algebraicity phenomenon to persist for 4 more models, for which the quadrant problem is solvable using the reflection principle.

Processes used in working memory and reading by deaf and hearing ASL signers and hearing non-signers

Year: 2023

description: In general, deaf individuals read with more difficulty than hearing individuals, suggesting that the deaf may have difficulty using a speech-based code for processing information or recalling ordered information implicit in the syntax of the English language (Hanson, 1982). In two experiments, the short-term processing of written and signed information was investigated in hearing non-signers and deaf and hearing signers during reading and memory span tasks under conditions of no, oral, and manual articulatory suppression. In Experiment 1, participants saw passages of words and signs and tried to detect the words or signs that did not make sense within the context of a sentence. In Experiment 2, they recalled, both serially and freely, lists of phonologically similar and dissimilar words as well as formationally similar and dissimilar signs. Results of Experiment 1 showed that hearing participants (signers and non-signers) had higher d' scores for error detection than deaf participants in text passages but not in signed passages (hearing signers). Neither oral nor manual suppression reduced the d' scores for error detection in the text passages; however, oral suppression reduced d' scores for error detection in the signed passages overall. In Experiment 2, hearing participants had larger memory spans than deaf participants in serial but not free recall. All participants showed a phonological similarity effect in both serial and free recall as well as a reduction in memory-span for words during oral suppression. Only hearing participants showed a reduction in the phonological similarity effect during oral suppression. There was a formational similarity effect in serial recall for deaf signers as well as a reduction in memory-span for signs in free recall during oral suppression for all signers and during manual suppression for hearing signers. These results suggest that signing participants were using both speech- and sign-based codes for processing information and the strategy used depended on the task requirements.

description: This paper develops a theoretical framework and provides empirical evidence on the impacts of diet and lifestyles on life satisfaction in Russia using 1995-2005 data from the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey. Our results suggest that diet measured as calories, fat, protein, and diversity of food consumption has a statistically significant effect on life satisfaction levels of the Russian population. In addition, living in a region with higher per capita income increases population’s life satisfaction. While living in a rural area, having health problems, and having young children affect individual life satisfaction in Russia in a negative and statistically significantly way. Life satisfaction is also positively correlated with education and income, and negatively with unemployment. Better understanding of the drivers of life satisfaction and more generally of subjective wellbeing in Russia can assist in the government decision-making processes, including the allocation of scarce resources and the design of public health policies.

description: In the Ethereum network, miners are incentivized to include transactions in a block depending on the gas price specified by the sender. The sender of a transaction therefore faces a trade-off between timely inclusion and cost of his transaction. Existing recommendation mechanisms aggregate recent gas price data on a per-block basis to suggest a gas price. We perform an empirical analysis of historic block data to motivate the use of a predictive model for gas price recommendation. Subsequently, we propose a novel mechanism that combines a deep-learning based price forecasting model as well as an algorithm parameterized by a user-specific urgency value to recommend gas prices. In a comprehensive evaluation on real-world data, we show that our approach results on average in costs savings of more than 50% while only incurring an inclusion delay of 1.3 blocks, when compared to the gas price recommendation mechanism of the most widely used Ethereum client.

Here, we discuss aspects of SARS-CoV-2 biology and pathology and how these might interact with the circadian clock of the host. We further focus on the severe manifestation of the illness, leading to hospitalization in an intensive care unit. The most common severe complications of COVID-19 relate to clock-regulated human physiology. We speculate on how the pandemic might be used to gain insights on the circadian clock but, more importantly, on how knowledge of the circadian clock might be used to mitigate the disease expression and the clinical course of COVID-19.

A multiple baseline controlled trial of cognitive behavioral therapy for trichotillomania
Creators: name: Rubenstein, Cheryl Sheffler
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Trichotillomania patients feel compelled to pull out hairs from one or more bodily areas, generally in an effort to reduce anxiety or regulate other emotions. Previous treatment studies have suggested moderate efficacy of clomipramine, and some behavioral techniques, especially habit reversal, but results have largely been weak. Rothbaum (1992) piloted a 9-week cognitive-behavioral treatment package with moderate success. In the present study, this package's efficacy was assessed in a controlled fashion using a multiple baseline across participants design with two sets of three participants each. Each client saved her hairs and mailed them to the author during baseline, then attended nine treatment sessions during which saved hairs and some psychological measures were collected. Then specific techniques were taught and practiced approximately according to Rothbaum's guidelines (1993). Visual inspection of the hair-pulling data suggests that Participants 1, 2, and 4 improved with treatment, although Participant 4's pulling had decreased dramatically before any treatment techniques were introduced. For Participants 3, 5 and 6, clear interpretation is difficult. Because disagreement among judges of single case data is common, and because the author might be unfairly biased toward seeing improvement, further analyses were introduced. For each participant, hairpulling during baseline was compared with that during treatment statistically using a program for continuous-assessment time series data from single participants (ITSACORR; Crosbie, 1993). Only Participants 4 and 5 improved significantly due to treatment. This statistical analysis is not sufficient alone, because it fails to take into account the controls introduced by the multiple baseline data. Measures of anxiety, depression, severity of the trichotillomania and associated impairment were taken at baseline, then compared with the same at the end of treatment, and at 1- and 3-months follow-up. The Wilcoxon matched pairs signed-rank test confirmed that, with one exception (significantly decreased impairment due to trichotillomania between baseline and 1-month follow-up), there were no significant changes. In sum, these results were modest and highly variable across participants. As such, they fail to provide reliable support for the efficacy of Rothbaum's (1992) treatment paradigm.

description: Using the SPITZER SPACE TELESCOPE and the VLA, we present the first DIRECT evidence that the well-known far-infrared/radio correlation is valid to cosmologically significant redshift. We also confirm, with improved statistics compared with previous surveys, a similar result for the Mid-IR/radio correlation. We explore the dependence of monochromatic q_{24} and q_{70} on z. The results were obtained by matching Spitzer sources at 24 and 70 microns with VLA 1.4 GHz micro-Jy radio sources obtained for the SPITZER FLS. Spectroscopic redshifts have been obtained for over 500 matched IR/radio sources using observations at WIYN, Keck and archival SDSS data extending out to z > 2. We find that q_{24} shows significantly more dispersion than q_{70}. By comparing the observed fluxes at 70, 24 and 4.5 microns with a library of SED templates, we find that the larger dispersion in q_{24} is predictable in terms of systematic variations in SED shape throughout the population. Although the models are not able to encompass the full range of observed behavior (both the presence of either extremely flat or extremely steep IR SEDs), the fitting parameters were used to `k-correct' the higher-z galaxies which resulted in a reduced scatter in q. For comparison, we also corrected these data using the SED for M82. The results for 24 and 70 microns provide strong consistent evidence for the universality of the mid-IR/radio and far-IR/radio correlations out to redshifts of at least z = 1.

description: Trichotillomania patients feel compelled to pull out hairs from one or more bodily areas, generally in an effort to reduce anxiety or regulate other emotions. Previous treatment studies have suggested moderate efficacy of clomipramine, and some behavioral techniques, especially habit reversal, but results have largely been weak. Rothbaum (1992) piloted a 9-week cognitive-behavioral treatment package with moderate success. In the present study, this package's efficacy was assessed in a controlled fashion using a multiple baseline across participants design with two sets of three participants each. Each client saved her hairs and mailed them to the author during baseline, then attended nine treatment sessions during which saved hairs and some psychological measures were collected. Then specific techniques were taught and practiced approximately according to Rothbaum's guidelines (1993). Visual inspection of the hair-pulling data suggests that Participants 1, 2, and 4 improved with treatment, although Participant 4's pulling had decreased dramatically before any treatment techniques were introduced. For Participants 3, 5 and 6, clear interpretation is difficult. Because disagreement among judges of single case data is common, and because the author might be unfairly biased toward seeing improvement, further analyses were introduced. For each participant, hairpulling during baseline was compared with that during treatment statistically using a program for continuous-assessment time series data from single participants (ITSACORR; Crosbie, 1993). Only Participants 4 and 5 improved significantly due to treatment. This statistical analysis is not sufficient alone, because it fails to take into account the controls introduced by the multiple baseline data. Measures of anxiety, depression, severity of the trichotillomania and associated impairment were taken at baseline, then compared with the same at the end of treatment, and at 1- and 3-months follow-up. The Wilcoxon matched pairs signed-rank test confirmed that, with one exception (significantly decreased impairment due to trichotillomania between baseline and 1-month follow-up), there were no significant changes. In sum, these results were modest and highly variable across participants. As such, they fail to provide reliable support for the efficacy of Rothbaum's (1992) treatment paradigm.

description: We present a new cavity-based polarimetric scheme for highly sensitive and time-resolved measurements of birefringence and dichroism, linear and circular, that employs rapidly-pulsed single-frequency CW laser sources and extends current cavity-based spectropolarimetric techniques. We demonstrate how the use of a CW laser source allows for gains in spectral resolution, signal intensity and data acquisition rate compared to traditional pulsed-based cavity ring-down polarimetry (CRDP). We discuss a particular CW-CRDP modality that is different from intensity-based cavity-enhanced polarimetric schemes as it relies on the determination of the polarization-rotation frequency during a ring-down event generated by large intracavity polarization anisotropies. We present the principles of CW-CRDP and validate the applicability of this technique for measurement of the non-resonant Faraday effect in solid SiO$_2$ and CeF$_3$ and gaseous butane. We give a general analysis of the fundamental sensitivity limits for CRDP techniques and show how the presented frequency-based methodology alleviates the requirement for high finesse cavities to achieve high polarimetric sensitivities, and, thus, allows for the extension of cavity-based polarimetric schemes into different spectral regimes but most importantly renders the CW-CRDP methodology particularly suitable for robust portable polarimetric instrumentations.

description: Measurement of agriculture's economic contribution must consider possible replacement of farm production by imports and induced loss of forward-linked sectors. Sequential extraction, an input-output technique, is applied to the food system to assess total economic activity attributable to agriculture. The approach is demonstrated using Hawaii state data.

description: This study tested a cognitive-experiential self-theory (Epstein, 1973; 1992; 1994) and escape from awareness (Heatherton & Baumeister, 1991) model of self-esteem mediated stress-induced overeating in normal weight and overweight college women. Overweight and normal weight women were randomly assigned favorable, unfavorable or neutral personality feedback and were administered the Multidimensional Self-esteem Inventory (O'Brian & Epstein, 1988), the State Self-esteem Scale (Heatherton & Polivy, 1991), and the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (Stunkard & Messick, 1985), followed by a pudding taste test and a follow-up assessment of naturalistic evening eating. Type of feedback affected state self-esteem, pudding eating, and naturalistic eating differently for normal weight and overweight women. Self-esteem was somewhat supported as a mediating variable, with low self-esteem overweight women responding differently from high self-esteem overweight women on both laboratory and naturalistic assessments of eating. Restraint, disinhibition, and susceptibility to hunger were associated with eating more at follow up, and did not relate to pudding eating, but a pattern of yoga dieting did predict laboratory eating. The need to further explore the effect of threats to self-esteem on eating in overweight women is discussed.

description: Continual learning studies agents that learn from streams of tasks without forgetting previous ones while adapting to new ones. Two recent continual-learning scenarios have opened new avenues of research. In meta-continual learning, the model is pre-trained to minimize catastrophic forgetting of previous tasks. In continual-meta learning, the aim is to train agents for faster remembering of previous tasks through adaptation. In their original formulations, both methods have limitations. We stand on their shoulders to propose a more general scenario, OSAKA, where an agent must quickly solve new (out-of-distribution) tasks, while also requiring fast remembering. We show that current continual learning, meta-learning, meta-continual learning, and continual-meta learning techniques fail in this new scenario. We propose Continual-MAML, an online extension of the popular MAML algorithm as a strong baseline for this scenario. We empirically show that Continual-MAML is better suited to the new scenario than the aforementioned methodologies, as well as standard continual learning and meta-learning approaches.
