description: We discuss the Full Counting Statistics of non-commuting variables with the measurement of successive spin counts in non-collinear directions taken as an example. We show that owing to an irreducible detector back-action, the FCS in this case may be sensitive to the dynamics of the detectors, and may differ from the predictions obtained with using a naive version of the Projection Postulate. We present here a general model of detector dynamics and path-integral approach to the evaluation of FCS. We concentrate further on a simple "diffusive" model of the detector dynamics where the FCS can be evaluated with transfer-matrix method. The resulting probability distribution of spin counts is characterized by anomalously large higher cumulants and substantially deviates from Gaussian Statistics.

description: The electron paramagnetic resonance is used to measure the single-ion anisotropy of Gd3+ ions in the pyrochlore structure of (Y{1-x}Gdx)2Ti2O7. A rather strong easy-plane type anisotropy is found. The anisotropy constant D is comparable to the exchange integral J in the prototype Gd2Ti2O7, D~0.75J and exceeds the dipolar energy scale. Physical implications of an easy-plane anisotropy for a pyrochlore antiferromagnet are considered. We calculate the magnetization curves at T=0 and discuss phase transitions in magnetic field.

description: Variations of bilateral aid flows are difficult to explain on the basis of official development objectives or recipient need. At the example of US aid to Pakistan, this paper suggests alternative political economic explanations, notably the relevance of ethnic lobbying and the relevance of US business interests. Time series regressions for the period from 1980 to 2002 and logistic regressions based on votes for the Pressler and the Brown Amendment confirm the significance of these political economic determinants. While in case of the Pressler Amendment, the direct influence of population groups of Indian and Pakistani origins seems to have played a predominant role, the role of ethnic business lobbies appears to have dominated in the context of the Brown Amendment. Time series analysis also provides some evidence for the impact of US business interests based on FDI and exports, but these effects appear to be comparatively small.

description: Die Abscheidung von Kohlendioxid in großen, immobilen Industrieanlagen mit anschließender Ablagerung in geologischen Formationen gewinnt in jüngster Zeit in der Diskussion um Maßnahmen zur Reduktion von Treibhausgasen zunehmend an Bedeutung. Der Bau von Pilotanlagen ist inzwischen auch für Deutschland angekündigt worden. Diese neue Technik birgt dabei grundsätzlich die Gefahr von Wiederaustritten des abgeschiedenen und verpressten CO2 in die Atmosphäre. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht das vorliegende Papier ausgewählte ordnungsrechtliche Aspekte sowie ökonomische Implikationen im Rahmen des EU-Emissionshandels. Die Analyse zeigt, dass derartige Anlagen mit einer Ausnahme zur Zeit keinem dem Gefahrenpotential entsprechenden Genehmigungsverfahren unterliegen, was angesichts der damit verbundenen Gefahren nicht befriedigen kann. Im Hinblick auf die Wirtschaftlichkeit derartiger Vorhaben im Rahmen des EUEmissionshandels ist festzuhalten, dass diese aus Sicht des einzelnen Anlagenbetreibers stark von der Ausgestaltung der Allokationsregeln in zukünftigen Handelsperioden abhängt.

Optimal Quantum Feedback Control for Canonical Observables

description: We show that the stochastic Schrodinger equation for the filtered state of a system, with linear free dynamics, undergoing continual non-demolition measurement or either position or momentum, or both together, can be solved explicitly within a class of Gaussian states which we call extended coherent states. The asymptotic limit yields a class of relaxed states which we describe explicitly. Bellman's principle is then applied directly to optimal feedback control of such dynamical systems and the Hamilton Jacobi Bellman equation for the minimum cost is derived. The situation of quadratic performance criteria is treated as the important special case and solved exactly for the class of relaxed states.

description: The enlargement of the European Monetary Union is likely to lead to an increase of uncertainty about the transmission of monetary policy for the larger union. Adding new members to the central bank council will in addition imply that the preferences of the enlarged council will be uncertain in the initial period. The paper considers the influence of both types of uncertainty on wage setting behavior in the larger monetary union and its effects on unemployment. In light of these effects, implications for the adequate structure of the central bank are derived.

description: We introduce Q-space, the tensor product of an index space with a primary space, to achieve a more general mathematical description of correlations in terms of q-tuples. Topics discussed include the decomposition of Q-space into a sum-variable (location) subspace S plus an orthogonal difference-variable subspace D, and a systematisation of q-tuple size estimation in terms of p-norms. The "GHP sum" prescription for q-tuple size emerges naturally as the 2-norm of difference-space vectors. Maximum- and minimum-size prescriptions are found to be special cases of a continuum of p-sizes.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider multiple Euclidean D3-branes in a specific supergravity solution, which consists of a self-dual 5-form RR field in a flat background. We propose a deformation of ${\cal N}=4$ SYM action describing the dynamics of D3-branes in this background. We look at the supersymmetries of ${\cal N}=4$ SYM theory consistent with those preserved by the background. We derive the Chern-Simons action induced by the RR field, and show that the whole action can be supersymmetrized. This we do by deforming the supersymmetry transformations and using the BRST-like characteristic of the unbroken supercharges.

After deriving the metric of a sonic black hole from the Schrodinger equation and quantizing the perturbation fields near the sonic event horizon, we show particles of Hawking radiation can act as a source of entanglement: two-mode squeezed entanglement is produced near the event horizon, which can be used in quantum teleportation. The fidelity of the teleportation is closely related to the temperature of the sonic black holes, but high fidelity seems difficult to reach in our case.

description: This paper presents the first empirical test with German establishment level data of a hypothesis derived by Helpman, Melitz and Yeaple in a model that explains the decision of heterogeneous firms to serve foreign markets either trough exports or foreign direct investment: only the more productive firms choose to serve the foreign markets, and the most productive among this group will further choose to serve these markets via foreign direct investments. Using a non-parametric test for first order stochastic dominance it is shown that, in line with this hypothesis, the productivity distribution of foreign direct investors dominates that of exporters, which in turn dominates that of national market suppliers.

description: The harmful effects of PM2.5 on human health, including an increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), have raised a lot of attention, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. We used the Shanghai Meteorological and Environmental Animal Exposure System (Shanghai-METAS) to simulate the inhalation of PM2.5 in the real environment and established an animal model by exposing C57BL/6 mice to filtered air (FA) and Particulate Matter (PM2.5) for 8 weeks. PM2.5 impaired the renal function of the mice, and the renal tubules underwent destructive changes. Analysis of NHANES data showed a correlation between reduced kidney function and higher blood levels of PM2.5 components, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins, which are Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) ligands. PM2.5 exposure induced higher levels of AhR and CYP1A1 and oxidative stress as evidenced by the higher levels of ROS, MDA, and GSSG in kidneys of mice. PM2.5 exposure led to AhR overexpression and nuclear translocation in proximal renal tubular epithelial cells. Inhibition of AhR reduced CYP1A1 expression and PM2.5-increased levels of ROS, MDA and GSSG. Our study suggested metformin can mitigate PM2.5-induced oxidative stress by inhibiting the AhR/CYP1A1 pathway. These findings illuminated the role of AhR/CYP1A1 pathway in PM2.5-induced kidney injury and the protective effect of metformin on PM2.5-induced cellular damage, offering new insights for air pollution-related renal diseases.

description: The evolution of solidification microstructures in ternary metallic alloys is investigated by adaptive finite element simulations of a general multicomponent phase-field model. A morphological transition from dendritic to globular growth is found by varying the alloy composition at a fixed undercooling. The dependence of the growth velocity and of the impurity segregation in the solid phase on the composition is analyzed and indicates a smooth type of transition between the dendritic and globular growth structures.

Benevolent Republicans: philanthropy and identity in the early United States
Creators: name: Michel, Laura R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: This dissertation considers the role of philanthropy in the construction of American identity in the years and decades following independence from Britain. A multifaceted project that necessarily went beyond the drafting of new governing documents, the achievements of republican benevolence came to validate the success of the new nation at home and abroad. Utilizing annual reports, published speeches, newspaper accounts, minute books, and private correspondence, the emergence of the penitentiary or the growing number of free schools take on added meaning as they reveal the complexities and contingencies of social status, power, identity, and belonging in the early United States. With such an approach, this project adds to existing scholarship on the function of benevolence as a tool of social control, facilitator of cosmopolitan relations, or means of alleviating genuine suffering. By recognizing that these need not be mutually exclusive outcomes, the multiple functions of philanthropy come to the fore. With this also comes to the ability to consider a diverse array of those who claimed – or attempted to claim – the character of “benevolent republican.” For those who did not enjoy the privilege of being an elite white Christian, philanthropy and its connection to the construction of American identity provided a platform from which to make claims about the new nation and their place in it. Even as the voices of African Americans, Jewish Americans, and the poor remained largely sidelined, benevolence allowed some to speak from the margins and, even in a small way, shape the final product. Through the framework of benevolent republicanism and its complex, at times seemingly contradictory, and multi-focal operation, this project incorporates the multitude of voices and priorities that formed the early American republic.

A quark model suggestion against Ds*(2317) and Ds*(2460) as chiral partners of standard Ds
Creators: name: Bicudo, P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper presents the first study of mesons with a quark and an antiquark with different and finite masses, in a simple confining and chiral invariant quark-antiquark interaction, leading to spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and to constituent quarks. In the false chiral invariant vacuum, the chiral partners are degenerate, and tachyons occur in the light-light spectrum. In the true vacuum, most of the standard non-relativistic quark model spectra should be recovered except for the pion and other particular constraints. The calibration problem of chiral quark models is also addressed here. The detailed inspection of the different contributions to the D and Ds masses suggests that the challenging recently observed Ds*(2317) and Ds*(2460) mesons might not fit as global chirally rotated quark-antiquark Ds mesons.

description: The two surveys used for this presentation were conducted in South Carolina and across the United States. It was found that "globalization" includes global food supply. Americans prefer American-grown and -processed foods over imported foods. They are willing to pay more for locally grown and organically grown foods. Americans believe that their food is tastier and more nutritious than ever, but disagree that it is safer than ever. Respondents were uncertain about the health and environmental impacts of GM foods, but prefer that GM foods be labeled. Farmers, university professors, and the USDA are trusted sources of knowledge about food safety, while celebrities, business executives, and foreign governments generally are not. Since 9/11, Americans harbor serious concerns that the food supply could become a target of terrorists. These and other findings are presented in this paper and are discussed in terms of their implications for previous and current research.

description: Quantum Information Processing relies on coherent quantum dynamics for a precise control of its basic operations. A swapping gate in a two-spin system exchanges the degenerate states |+,-> and |-,+>. In NMR, this is achieved turning on and off the spin-spin interaction b=ΔE that splits the energy levels and induces an oscillation with a natural frequency ΔE/\hbar. Interaction of strength \hbar/τ_{SE}, with an environment of neighboring spins, degrades this oscillation within a decoherence time scale τ_ϕ. While the experimental frequency ωand decoherence time τ_ϕ were expected to be roughly proportional to b/\hbar and τ_{SE} respectively, we present here experiments that show drastic deviations in both ωand τ_ϕ. By solving the many spin dynamics, we prove that the swapping regime is restricted to ΔE τ_{SE} > \hbar. Beyond a critical interaction with the environment the swapping freezes and the decoherence rate drops as 1/τ_ϕ \propto (b/\hbar)^2 τ_{SE}. The transition between quantum dynamical phases occurs when ω\propto \sqrt{(b/\hbar)^{2}-(k/τ_{SE})^2} becomes imaginary, resembling an overdamped classical oscillator. Here, 0

description: The major axis and ellipse-fit intensity profiles of spiral galaxies larger than 0.3'' in the Hubble Space Telescope Ultra Deep Field (UDF) are generally exponential, whereas the major axis profiles in irregular disk galaxies, called clump-clusters in our previous studies, are clearly not. Here we show that the deprojected positions of star-forming clumps in both galaxy types are exponential, as are the deprojected luminosity profiles of the total emissions from these clumps. These exponentials are the same for both types when normalized to the outer isophotal radii. The results imply that clumps form or accrete in exponential radial distributions, and when they disperse they form smooth exponential disks. The exponential scale lengths for UDF spirals average 1.5 kpc for a standard cosmology. This length is smaller than the average for local spirals by a factor of 2. Selection effects that may account for this size difference among spirals are discussed. Regardless of these effects, the mere existence of small UDF galaxies with grand-design spiral arms differs significantly from the situation in local fields, where equally small disks are usually dwarf Irregulars that rarely have spiral arms. Spiral arms require a disk mass comparable to the halo mass in the visible region -- something local spirals have but local dwarfs Irregulars do not. Our UDF result then implies that galaxy disks grow from the inside out, starting with a dense halo and dense disk that can form spiral arms, and then adding lower density halo and disk material over time. Bars that form early in such small, dense, gas-rich disks should disperse more quickly than bars that form later in fully developed disks.

description: Obtaining training data for multi-document summarization (MDS) is time consuming and resource-intensive, so recent neural models can only be trained for limited domains. In this paper, we propose SummPip: an unsupervised method for multi-document summarization, in which we convert the original documents to a sentence graph, taking both linguistic and deep representation into account, then apply spectral clustering to obtain multiple clusters of sentences, and finally compress each cluster to generate the final summary. Experiments on Multi-News and DUC-2004 datasets show that our method is competitive to previous unsupervised methods and is even comparable to the neural supervised approaches. In addition, human evaluation shows our system produces consistent and complete summaries compared to human written ones.

description: The Cassini measurements of C$_2$H$_2$ and C$_2$H$_6$ at $\sim$5 mbar provide a constraint on meridional transport in the stratosphere of Jupiter. We performed a two-dimensional photochemical calculation coupled with mass transport due to vertical and meridional mixing. The modeled profile of C$_2$H$_2$ at latitudes less than 70$^\circ$ follows the latitude dependence of the solar insolation, while that of C$_2$H$_6$ shows little latitude dependence, consistent with the measurements. In general, our model study suggests that the meridional transport timescale above 5-10 mbar altitude level is $\gtrsim$1000 years and the time could be as short as 10 years below 10 mbar level, in order to fit the Cassini measurements. The derived meridional transport timescale above the 5 mbar level is a hundred times longer than that obtained from the spreading of gas-phase molecules deposited after the impact of Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet. There is no explanation at this time for this discrepancy.

description: For a left vector space V over a totally ordered division ring F, let Co(V) denote the lattice of convex subsets of V. We prove that every lattice L can be embedded into Co(V) for some left F-vector space V. Furthermore, if L is finite lower bounded, then V can be taken finite-dimensional, and L embeds into a finite lower bounded lattice of the form $Co(V,Z)=\{X\cap Z | X\in Co(V)\}$, for some finite subset $Z$ of $V$. In particular, we obtain a new universal class for finite lower bounded lattices.

We demonstrate isotropic transmission properties of a SRR-only meta-material and the corresponding left-handed material which possesses a negative effective index of refraction due to simultaneously negative effective permeability and permittivity. Minor deviations from complete isotropy are due to the finite thickness of the meta-material.

description: We surveyed of grocery shoppers in the Northeast United States to measure how demographic characteristics and consumer behavior affect the use of four coupon types (paper, in-store, checkout, and online). We employ logit models to estimate the probability that a consumer is a regular coupon user conditioned to his/her demographic and behavioral characteristics. Readership and economizing-behavior variables have a larger impact on the probability of being a coupon user than do demographic variables, except in the case of online coupons. Our results suggest that targeting specific coupon types using demographic profiles alone is not an appropriate method of coupon distribution. Understanding behavioral characteristics of the coupon users will help target coupon offerings by various distribution methods.

description: Tuberculous meningitis (TBM), the most severe form of tuberculosis, causes death in approximately 25% cases despite antibiotic therapy, and half of survivors are left with neurological disability. Mortality and morbidity are contributed to by a dysregulated immune response, and adjunctive host-directed therapies are required to modulate this response and improve outcomes. Developing such therapies relies on improved understanding of the host immune response to TBM. The historical challenges in TBM research of limited in vivo and in vitro models have been partially overcome by recent developments in proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, and the use of these technologies in nested substudies of large clinical trials. We review the current understanding of the human immune response in TBM. We begin with M. tuberculosis entry into the central nervous system (CNS), microglial infection and blood-brain and other CNS barrier dysfunction. We then outline the innate response, including the early cytokine response, role of canonical and non-canonical inflammasomes, eicosanoids and specialised pro-resolving mediators. Next, we review the adaptive response including T cells, microRNAs and B cells, followed by the role of the glutamate-GABA neurotransmitter cycle and the tryptophan pathway. We discuss host genetic immune factors, differences between adults and children, paradoxical reaction, and the impact of HIV-1 co-infection including immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome. Promising immunomodulatory therapies, research gaps, ongoing challenges and future paths are discussed.

description: In tomographic imaging, anatomical structures are reconstructed by applying a pseudo-inverse forward model to acquired signals. Geometric information within this process is usually depending on the system setting only, i. e., the scanner position or readout direction. Patient motion therefore corrupts the geometry alignment in the reconstruction process resulting in motion artifacts. We propose an appearance learning approach recognizing the structures of rigid motion independently from the scanned object. To this end, we train a siamese triplet network to predict the reprojection error (RPE) for the complete acquisition as well as an approximate distribution of the RPE along the single views from the reconstructed volume in a multi-task learning approach. The RPE measures the motioninduced geometric deviations independent of the object based on virtual marker positions, which are available during training. We train our network using 27 patients and deploy a 21-4-2 split for training, validation and testing. In average, we achieve a residual mean RPE of 0.013mm with an inter-patient standard deviation of 0.022 mm. This is twice the accuracy compared to previously published results. In a motion estimation benchmark the proposed approach achieves superior results in comparison with two state-of-the-art measures in nine out of twelve experiments. The clinical applicability of the proposed method is demonstrated on a motion-affected clinical dataset.

description: We comment on four aspects of Albers' [1] model of ecological constraints on tropical forest management. Albers structures her model in a highly asymmetric manner, with strong, uniform biases against development and in favor of preservation. Despite Albers' repeated claims that her model is "complete" and that it has significant implications for tropical forest management, we contend instead that the results of a truly general, empirically defensible model are inherently ambiguous. Spatial and intertemporal dimensions clearly matter, but they do not point as neatly in favor of preservation as Albers would have us believe.

description: Export growth in India has been much faster than GDP growth over the past few decades. Several factors appear to have contributed to this phenomenon including foreign direct investment (FDI). However, despite increasing inflows of FDI especially in recent years there has not been any attempt to assess its contribution to India's export performanceone of the channels through which FDI influences growth. Using annual data for 1970-98 we investigate the determinants of export performance in India in a simultaneous equation framework. Results suggest that demand for Indian exports increases when its export prices fall in relation to world prices. Furthermore, the real appreciation of the rupee adversely effects India's exports. Export supply is positively related to the domestic relative price of exports and higher domestic demand reduces export supply. Foreign investment appears to have statistically no significant impact on export performance although the coefficient of FDI has a positive sign.

description: In this letter we make use of the Background Field Method (BFM) to compute the effective potential of an SU(2) gauge field theory, in the presence of chemical potential and temperature. The main idea is to consider the chemical potential as the background field. The gauge fixing condition required by the BFM turns out to be exactly the one we found in a previous article in a different context.

description: The construction of large dams is one of the most costly and controversial forms of public infrastructure investment in developing countries, but little is known about their impact. This paper studies the productivity and distributional effects of large dams in India. To account for endogenous placement of dams we use GIS data and the fact that river gradient affects a district's suitability for dams to provide instrumental variable estimates of their impact. We find that, in a district where a dam is built, agricultural production does not increase but poverty does. In contrast, districts located downstream from the dam benefit from increased irrigation and see agricultural production increase and poverty fall. Overall, our estimates suggest that large dam construction in India is a marginally cost-effective investment with significant distributional implications, and has, in aggregate, increased poverty.

description: Prangos species were previously used against many disorders due to their chemical component. Prangos aricakensis Behçet & Yapar is a newly discovered local endemic species in Turkey’s eastern region, and there is no research on P. aricakensis in the literature. In this work, oxypeucedanin and osthol molecules have been isolated from the root part of P. aricakensis for the first time. Oxypeucedanin and osthol structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR analysis. For the bioactivities determination, antioxidant (DPPH· and ABTS·+ scavenging), enzyme inhibition (AChE, BChE, tyrosinase, and urease), antibacterial and DNA protection activity studies were applied for both molecules and compared with standard drug molecules, after applying enzyme kinetic assays and in silico approaches to clarify the mechanism of action for both molecules with enzymes, using molecular docking and density functional theory (DFT). Oxypeucedanin (2.19 ± 0.38 µg/mL) and osthol (4.57 ± 1.28 µg/mL) exhibited better activity than standards in DPPH∙ scavenging activity. Osthol (11.76 ± 0.59 µg/mL) showed a better tyrosinase inhibition effect than kojic acid (12.82 ± 0.91 µg/mL), and oxypeucedanin (3.03 ± 0.01 µg/mL) showed better urease inhibition effect than thiourea (5.37 ± 1.86 µg/mL). Our results showed that the osthol molecule was an excellent skin protective agent while the oxypeucedanin molecule could be a remarkable antiulcer agent. Therefore, although this study is the first in its field, it remained in the in vitro and in silico stages and is thought to pave the way for in vivo studies in the future.

description: Various embedding problems of lattices into complete lattices are solved. We prove that for any join-semilattice S with the minimal join-cover refinement property, the ideal lattice IdS of S is both algebraic and dually algebraic. Furthermore, if there are no infinite D-sequences in J(S), then IdS can be embedded into a direct product of finite lower bounded lattices. We also find a system of infinitary identities that characterize sublattices of complete, lower continuous, and join-semidistributive lattices. These conditions are satisfied by any (not necessarily finitely generated) lower bounded lattice and by any locally finite, join-semidistributive lattice. Furthermore, they imply M. Erné's dual staircase distributivity. On the other hand, we prove that the subspace lattice of any infinite-dimensional vector space cannot be embedded into any countably complete, countably upper continuous, and countably lower continuous lattice. A similar result holds for the lattice of all order-convex subsets of any infinite chain.
