description: Direct observations provide constraints on the first two derivatives of the inflaton potential in slow roll models. We discuss how present day observations, combined with the flow equations in slow roll parameter space, provide a non-trivial constraint on the third derivative of the inflaton potential. We find a lower bound on the third derivative of the inflaton potential V'''/V > -0.2. We also show that unless the third derivative of the inflaton potential is unreasonably large, then one predicts the tensor to scalar ratio, r, to be bounded from below r > 3 * 10^{-6}.

description: In search of the origin of superconductivity in diluted rhenium superconductors and their significantly enhanced $T_c$ compared to pure Be (0.026 K), we investigated the intermetallic ReBe$_{22}$ compound, mostly by means of muon-spin rotation/relaxation ($μ$SR). At a macroscopic level, its bulk superconductivity (with $T_c=9.4$ K) was studied via electrical resistivity, magnetization, and heat-capacity measurements. The superfluid density, as determined from transverse-field $μ$SR and electronic specific-heat measurements, suggest that ReBe$_{22}$ is a fully-gapped superconductor with some multigap features. The larger gap value, $Δ_0^l=1.78$ k$_\mathrm{B}T_c$, with a weight of almost 90\%, is slightly higher than that expected from the BCS theory in the weak-coupling case. The multigap feature, rather unusal for an almost elemental superconductor, is further supported by the field-dependent specific-heat coefficient, the temperature dependence of the upper critical field, as well as by electronic band-structure calculations. The absence of spontaneous magnetic fields below $T_c$, as determined from zero-field $μ$SR measurements, indicates a preserved time-reversal symmetry in the superconducting state of ReBe$_{22}$. In general, we find that a dramatic increase in the density of states at the Fermi level and an increase in the electron-phonon coupling strength, both contribute to the highly enhanced $T_c$ value of ReBe$_{22}$.

description: Slabs are of extreme importance in any structural construction, as they are primary members. However, about
80% of the concrete in the middle of conventional solid slab are of little structural importance. Bubble deck slab (also known
as voided slab) is a phenomenon that removes the structurally-inefficient concrete in the middle of slab by replacing it with
high-density spherical plastic balls. This solution will solve the problems of high cost, shorter span, longer construction
duration, and environmental pollution associated with the use of traditional slab. This review study investigates how bubble
deck slab compares with traditional solid slab in everyday use, under loading condition, and consequently making informed
recommendations to minimize the inadequacies of the bubble deck slab system

description: Many studies over the past 50 years have sought to identify environmental factors influencing breeding duck abundance and distribution in northern North America. Because results are currently scattered within the scientific literature, a summary of established duck-habitat associations would help to orientate future modelling research. Our goal was to review the published research testing for duck-habitat associations in northern North America. We reviewed 124 studies, summarizing their geographical coverage and species representation, and then analyzing the duck-habitat associations they tested. We identified 533 associations on 133 covariates falling into 16 environmental classes. Covariates of the ‘wetland’ classes were the most frequently associated with ducks; among these, ‘wetland area’ and ‘wetland density’ were the most common. ‘Climate’ covariates were the second most common associations, suggesting the potential for projecting the effects of climate change on ducks. The best-documented anthropogenic class was ‘agriculture’, for which associations with ducks were mostly negative. However, relatively few studies tested for associations with covariates for anthropogenic disturbances, which suggests that more research is needed to support forecasts of duck distribution under future human activity. This review and the accompanying database of duck-habitat associations will support future modelling studies by facilitating the selection of suitable habitat covariates.

description: Background: The existing environment literature separately emphasizes the importance of neighborhood walkability and greenness in enhancing health and wellbeing. Thus, a desirable neighborhood should ideally be green and walkable at the same time. Yet, limited research exists on the prevalence of such “sweet spot” neighborhoods. We sought to investigate this question in the context of a large metropolitan city (i.e., Sydney) in Australia. Methods: Using suburb level normalized difference vegetative index (NDVI), percentage urban greenspace, Walk Score® (Walk Score, Seattle, WA, USA), and other data, we explored the global and local relationships of neighborhood-level greenness, urban green space (percent park area) with walkability applying both non-spatial and spatial modeling. Results: We found an overall negative relationship between walkability and greenness (measured as NDVI). Most neighborhoods (represented by suburbs) in Sydney are either walkable or green, but not both. Sweet spot neighborhoods that did exist were green but only somewhat walkable. In addition, many neighborhoods were both less green and somewhat walkable. Moreover, we observed a significant positive relationship between percentage park area and walkability. These results indicate walkability and greenness have inverse and, at best, mixed associations in the Sydney metropolitan area. Conclusions: Our analysis indicates an overall negative relationship between greenness and walkability, with significant local variability. With ongoing efforts towards greening Sydney and improving walkability, more neighborhoods may eventually be transformed into becoming greener and more walkable.
A conditional-phase switch at the single-photon level

description: We present an experimental realization of a two-photon conditional-phase switch, related to the ``$c$-$ϕ$'' gate of quantum computation. This gate relies on quantum interference between photon pairs, generating entanglement between two optical modes through the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC). The interference effect serves to enhance the effective nonlinearity by many orders of magnitude, so it is significant at the quantum (single-photon) level. By adjusting the relative optical phase between the classical pump for SPDC and the pair of input modes, one can impress a large phase shift on one beam which depends on the presence or absence of a single photon in a control mode.

description: We describe actions that correspond to the interaction of the Super Virasoro algebra with supergravitons. These new field theories introduce a superfield that corresponds to dual elements of the super Virasoro algebra. We are also able to extend the definition of these field theories to higher dimensions. We explicitly exhibit the 2, 3 and 4 dimensional cases. Remarkably, the fundamental prepotentials describing these dual elements of the super Virasoro algebra, in each model, agrees with the known prepotentials of the corresponding supergravity theory. These theories might be important in the quantization of the super Virasoro group, supergravity and in AdS and super AdS gravity.

description: Simulation studies are essential for understanding and evaluating both current and new statistical models. When simulating survival times, one often assumes an exponential or Weibull distribution for the baseline hazard function, with survival times generated using the method of Bender, Augustin, and Blettner (2005, Statistics in Medicine 24: 1713–1723). Assuming a constant or monotonic hazard can be considered too simplistic and can lack biological plausibility in many situations. We describe a new user-written command, survsim, which allows the user to simulate survival times from two-component parametric mixture models, providing much more flexibility in the underlying hazard. Standard parametric distributions can also be used, including the exponential, Weibull, and Gompertz. Furthermore, survival times can be simulated from the all-cause distribution of cause-specific hazards for competing risks by using the method of Beyersmann et al. (2009, Statistics in Medicine 24: 956–971). A multinomial distribution is used to create the event indicator, whereby the probability of experiencing each event at a simulated time t is the cause-specific hazard divided by the all-cause hazard evaluated at time t. Baseline covariates can be included in all scenarios. We also describe the extension to incorporate nonproportional hazards in standard parametric and competing-risks scenarios.
Modeling the transition from pay-as-you-go to a fully funded pension system in Russia
Creators: name: Moiseev, Kirill
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: General Economics (econ.GN)
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: In countries with a growing number of elderly and a shrinking workforce, one of which is Russia, it becomes impossible to maintain a solidary pension system and a need to switch to a more stable funded system appears. This paper analyzes various scenarios of Russia's transition to such a system. This is the first study on the Russian economy in which an Overlapping Generations Model is used to simulate the pension transition. It is demonstrated that in the long term, the transition to a funded system slightly reduces the welfare of pensioners, and during the transition, the situation of pensioners deteriorates strongly. However, it is also important to emphasize that the transition imposes a heavy burden on all generations living during the reform, they are forced to consume less and greatly change their savings, while also often starting to work more. Such conclusions are made concerning average population cohorts, and the results may not be the same for different groups of individuals within these cohorts. In different scenarios, the pension system transition can cause both economic growth and economic recession, as well as a corresponding increase or decrease in wages and consumption.

description: In this article, we illustrate the command distrate, which calculates age-standardized rates with efficient interval estimation by using formulas developed by Tiwari, Clegg, and Zou (2006, Statistical Methods in Medical Research 15: 547–569) as a modification of the method proposed by Fay and Feuer (1997, Statistics in Medicine 16: 791–801). This method is currently used in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland; the Italian Association of Cancer Registries (Associazione Italiana Registro Tumori, AIRTUM); and the Lombardy Mesothelioma and Sinonasal Cancer Registry in Northern Italy. The command produces a compact output and allows for the possibility of specifying a rate multiplier, for instance, ×100,000 or ×1,000,000. Furthermore, rates and confidence limits can be easily exported to an external dataset for further processing (for example, for making graphs). The command distrate is a useful addition to the official Stata command dstdize.

description: The heat expansion of a star-like cosmic object, induced by the cosmological bremsheat production within a moving body, that was predicted by the Projective Unified field Theoriy of the author, is approximately treated. The difference to planet-like bodies investigated previously arises from another material constitution. The exponential-like expansion law is applied to a model with numerical values of the Sun. The results are not in contradiction to empirical facts.

description: Piles are of enormous structural and geotechnical importance as they help to transfer heavy superstructural loads to the geological formation that carries the superstructure. Piles are used in bridges, high-rise
structures and other structures of importance. However, in seismic zones, piles in liquefiable soils are susceptible
to failure during earthquake events despite that the current codes of practice provides for the design of piles against
seismic effect. This study summarizes the current knowledge of the soil-pile-structure interaction, and behaviour
in liquefiable soils subjected to earthquake loadings; and investigates the failure mechanisms of seismic piles
despite that codes of practice covers seismic design of piles; and goes further in suggesting design approaches that
allow for a conservative design of seismic piles.

description: The multi-resolution approximation (MRA) of Gaussian processes was recently proposed to conduct likelihood-based inference for massive spatial data sets. An advantage of the methodology is that it can be parallelized. We implemented the MRA in C++ for both serial and parallel versions. In the parallel implementation, we use a hybrid parallelism that employs both distributed and shared memory computing for communications between and within nodes by using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and OpenMP, respectively. The performance of the serial code is compared between the C++ and MATLAB implementations over a small data set on a personal laptop. The C++ parallel program is further carefully studied under different configurations by applications to data sets from around a tenth of a million to 47 million observations. We show the practicality of this implementation by demonstrating that we can get quick inference for massive real-world data sets. The serial and parallel C++ code can be found at https://github.com/hhuang90.

Several different approaches to creating comedy and art exist across the field of computational creativity. Despite the popularity and ease of use of chatbots, there have not been any attempts by artists or comedians to use these systems for comedy performances. We present two initial attempts to do so from our comedy podcast and call for future work toward both designing chatbots for performance and for performing alongside chatbots.

description: We compute numerically the topological charge distribution in the initial stage of a high energy heavy ion collision. This charge distribution is generated by Chern-Simons number fluctuations associated with the dynamics of strong classical fields in the initial state. The distribution is found to be quite narrow at RHIC and LHC energies reflecting a small value of the topological susceptibility. Thus the effective potential of classical fields is shallow in the $θ$-direction likely creating favorable conditions for the subsequent generation of P-odd bubbles.

description: Multi-line imaging of the nearby disk galaxy NGC 1482 with the Taurus Tunable Filter (TTF) on the Anglo-Australian Telescope reveals a remarkable hourglass-shaped [N II] 6583/H-alpha excitation structure suggestive of a galactic wind extending at least 1.5 kpc above and below the disk of the host galaxy. Long-slit spectroscopy confirms the existence of a large-scale outflow in this galaxy. The entrained wind material has [N II] 6583/H-alpha ratios in excess of unity while the disk material is characterized by H II region-like line ratios indicative of a starburst. Expansion velocities of order 250 km/s are detected in the wind material, and a lower limit of 2 x 10^{53} ergs is derived for the kinetic energy of the outflow based on the gas kinematics and the amount of ionized material entrained in the outflow. This is the first time to our knowledge that a galactic wind is discovered using excitation maps. This line ratio technique represents a promising new way to identify wind galaxy candidates before undergoing more time-consuming spectroscopic follow-ups. This method of selection may be particularly useful for samples of galaxies at moderate redshifts.

description: In this article, we consider the situation that arises when a survey data producer has collected data from a sample with a complex design (possibly featuring stratification of the population, cluster sampling, and unequal probabilities of selection) and for various reasons only provides secondary analysts of those survey data with a final survey weight for each respondent and “average” design effects for survey estimates computed from the data. In general, these “average” design effects, presumably computed by the data producer in a way that fully accounts for all the complex sampling features, already incorporate possible increases in sampling variance due to the use of the survey weights in estimation. The secondary analyst of the survey data—who uses the provided information to compute weighted estimates; computes design-based standard errors reflecting variance in the weights (by using Taylor series linearization, for example); and inflates the estimated variances using the “average” design effects provided—is applying a “double” adjustment to the standard errors for the effect of weighting on the variance estimates, leading to overly conservative inferences. We propose a simple method to prevent this problem and provide a Stata program for applying appropriate adjustments to variance estimates in this situation. We illustrate two applications of the method with survey data from the Monitoring the Future study and conclude with suggested directions for future research in this area.

description: Across several branches of conversational interaction research including interactions with social robots, embodied agents, and conversational assistants, users have identified trust as a critical part of those interactions. Nevertheless, there is little agreement on what trust means within these sort of interactions or how trust can be measured. In this paper, we explore some of the dimensions of trust as it has been understood in previous work and we outline some of the ways trust has been measured in the hopes of furthering discussion of the concept across the field.
QCD versus Skyrme-Faddeev Theory

description: We discuss the physical impacts of the ``Cho decomposition'' (or the ``Cho-Faddeev-Niemi-Shabanov decomposition'') of the non-Abelian gauge potential on QCD. We show how the decomposition makes a subtle but important modification on the non-Abelian dynamics, and present three physically equivalent quantization schemes of QCD which are consistent with the decomposition. In particular, we show that the decomposition enlarges the dynamical degrees of QCD by making the topological degrees of the non-Abelian gauge symmetry dynamical. Furthermore with the decomposition we show that the Skyrme-Faddeev theory of non-linear sigma model and QCD have almost identical topological structures. In specific we show that an essential ingredient in both theories is the Wu-Yang type non-Abelian monopole, and that the Faddeev-Niemi knots of the Skyrme-Faddeev theory can actually be interpreted to describe the multiple vacua of the SU(2) QCD. Finally we argue that the Skyrme-Faddeev theory is, just like QCD, a theory of confinement which confines the magnetic flux of the monopoles.

description: Space-time (ST) wave packets are coherent pulsed beams that propagate diffraction-free and dispersion-free by virtue of tight correlations introduced between their spatial and temporal spectral degrees of freedom. Less is known of the behavior of incoherent ST fields that maintain the spatio-temporal spectral structure of their coherent wave-packet counterparts while losing all purely spatial or temporal coherence. We show here that structuring the spatio-temporal spectrum of an incoherent field produces broadband incoherent ST fields that are diffraction-free. The intensity profile of these fields consists of a narrow spatial feature atop a constant background. Spatio-temporal spectral engineering allows controlling the width of this spatial feature, tuning it from a bright to a dark diffraction-free feature, and varying its amplitude relative to the background. These results pave the way to new opportunities in the experimental investigation of optical coherence of fields jointly structured in space and time by exploiting the techniques usually associated with ultrafast optics.

title: Environmental and ecological drivers of food web structure and dynamics
Creators: name: McLeod, Anne
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland

description: Natural communities are undergoing accelerated changes due to human pressures such as habitat fragmentation, over-harvesting, and species invasions. Here, I use bioinformatics and mathematical models to examine the environmental and ecological drivers of food-web structure and dynamics. First, I use a spatially expansive food web to examine drivers of spatial turnover in food web interactions across an environmental gradient. I observe that there is a large amount of spatial turnover in food web interactions, however, the fundamental structure of these food webs stays constant. Further, I demonstrate that predicting local realizations of community structure is very difficult, but critical since environmental perturbations occur at the local scale. Then, I integrate empirical data and mathematical models to explore the consequences of omnivory on food-web stability and persistence. I demonstrate that the importance of omnivory depends on both the type of omnivory and the food web within which it appears. Moreover, scale matters - conclusions about the stabilizing effect of omnivory depend on the scale of the mathematical model (i.e. module vs whole food web model). Omnivory is just one repeated structure within food webs. Using a dynamic food web model, I examine the relationship between different network metrics and community, species, and interaction persistence in food webs. I demonstrate that network metrics are successful at predicting community and interaction persistence. They are not, however, the same metrics, and the relationship is dependent on the scale of persistence being examined (i.e community vs species vs interaction). Finally, I derive a novel multi-trophic metacommunity model which demonstrates how movement is a product of both a species’ ability to move and the landscape across which it moves. Treating patch connectivity as a species’ specific property can change our conclusions about multi-patch stability. Overall, my thesis integrates data and theory to test the impacts of environmental gradients and change on food webs and provide testable predictions to guide future research in spatial food web ecology.

description: Amorphous Fe-gluconate was studied by means of the X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Spectra measured in the temperature range between 78 and 295 K were analysed in terms of three doublets using a thin absorber approximation method. Two of the doublets were associated with the major Fe(II) phase (72%) and one with the minor Fe(III) phase (28%). Based on the obtained results the following quantities characteristic of lattice dynamical properties were determined: Debye temperature from the temperature dependence of the center shift and that of the spectral area (recoil-free factor), force constant, change of the kinetic and potential energies of vibrations. The lattice vibrations of Fe ions present in both ferrous and ferric phases are not perfectly harmonic, yet on average they are. Similarities and differences to the crystalline Fe-gluconate are also reported.

description: We report the discovery of a temperature induced phase transition between the αand βstructures of antimonene. When antimony is deposited at room temperature on bismuth selenide, it forms domains of α-antimonene having different orientations with respect to the substrate. During a mild annealing, the βphase grows and prevails over the αphase, eventually forming a single domain that perfectly matches the surface lattice structure of bismuth selenide. First principles thermodynamics calculations of this van der Waals heterostructure explain the different temperature-dependent stability of the two phases and reveal a minimum energy transition path. Although the formation energies of free-standing α- and β-antimonene only slightly differ, the βphase is ultimately favoured in the annealed heterostructure due to an increased interaction with the substrate mediated by the perfect lattice match.

description: Proving ground has been a critical component in testing and validation for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV). Although quite a few world-class testing facilities have been under construction over the years, the evaluation of proving grounds themselves as testing approaches has rarely been studied. In this paper, we present the first attempt to systematically evaluate CAV proving grounds and contribute to a generative sample-based approach to assessing the representation of traffic scenarios in proving grounds. Leveraging typical use cases extracted from naturalistic driving events, we establish a strong link between proving ground testing results of CAVs and their anticipated public street performance. We present benchmark results of our approach on three world-class CAV testing facilities: Mcity, Almono (Uber ATG), and Kcity. We successfully show the overall evaluation of these proving grounds in terms of their capability to accommodate real-world traffic scenarios. We believe that when the effectiveness of a testing ground itself is validated, the testing results would grant more confidence for CAV public deployment.
