description: Livestock Gross Margin Insurance for Dairy Cattle (LGM-Dairy) is a recently introduced tool for protecting average income over feed cost margins in milk production. In this paper we examine the assumptions underpinning the rating method used to determine premiums charged for LGM-Dairy insurance contracts. The first test relates to the assumption of lognormality in terminal futures prices. Using high-frequency futures and options data for milk, corn and soybean meal we estimate implied densities with flexible higher moments. Simulations indicate there is no strong evidence that imposing lognormality introduces bias in LGM-Dairy premiums. The remainder of the paper is dedicated to examining dependency between milk and feed marginal distributions. The current LGM-Dairy rating method imposes the restriction of zero conditional correlation between milk and corn, as well as milk and soybean meal futures prices. Using futures data from 1998-2011 we find that allowing for non-zero milk-feed correlations considerably reduces LGM-Dairy premiums for insurance contracts with substantial declared feed amounts. Further examination of the nature of milk-feed dependencies reveals that Spearman’s correlation coefficient is mostly reflecting tail dependence. Using the empirical copula approach we find that non-parametric method of modeling milk-feed dependence decreases LGM-Dairy premiums more than a method that allows only for linear correlation. Unlike other situations in portfolio risk assessment where extremal dependence increases risk, in agricultural margins, tail dependence between feed and the Class III milk price may actually decrease insurance risk, and reduce actuarially fair premiums.
When to use parametric models in reinforcement learning?

description: We examine the question of when and how parametric models are most useful in reinforcement learning. In particular, we look at commonalities and differences between parametric models and experience replay. Replay-based learning algorithms share important traits with model-based approaches, including the ability to plan: to use more computation without additional data to improve predictions and behaviour. We discuss when to expect benefits from either approach, and interpret prior work in this context. We hypothesise that, under suitable conditions, replay-based algorithms should be competitive to or better than model-based algorithms if the model is used only to generate fictional transitions from observed states for an update rule that is otherwise model-free. We validated this hypothesis on Atari 2600 video games. The replay-based algorithm attained state-of-the-art data efficiency, improving over prior results with parametric models.
Fate of a topological invariant for correlated lattice electrons at finite temperature

description: Electrons on a two-dimensional (2$d$) lattice which is exposed to a strong uniform magnetic field show intriguing physical phenomena. The spectrum of such systems exhibits a complex (multi-)band structure known as Hofstadter's butterfly. For fillings at which the system is a band insulator one observes a quantized integer-valued Hall conductivity $σ_{xy}$ corresponding to a topological invariant, the first Chern number $\mathcal{C}_1$. This is robust against many-body interactions as long as no changes in the gap structure occur. Strictly speaking, this stability holds only at zero temperatures $T$ while for $T>0$ correlation effects have to be taken into account. In this work, we address this question by presenting a dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) study of the Hubbard model in a uniform magnetic field. The inclusion of local correlations at finite temperature leads to (i) a shrinking of the integer plateaus of $σ_{xy}$ as a function of the chemical potential and (ii) eventually to a deviation from these integer values. We demonstrate that these effects can be related to a correlation-driven narrowing and filling of the band gap, respectively.

We concentrate our study on data taken in November 1994, in particular we analyzed two frames of data: the 18nov94.2.frame and the 19nov94.2.frame. We show that it is possible to whiten these data, to a good degree of whiteness, using a high order whitening filter. Moreover we can choose to whiten only restricted band of frequencies around the region we are interested in, obtaining a higher level of whiteness.

description: This article examines the cost of reducing CO2 emissions in a sample of recently built dry-grind corn ethanol plants. The analysis estimates a translog minimum value function that represents both the minimum cost and the minimum CO2 emissions for given levels of ethanol production. The results indicate that the average plant is able to reduce GHG emissions by 36 percent relative to the level under cost minimization, but production costs are 22 percent higher. The reallocations by which these emissions reductions are achieved are primarily the substitution of wet for dry distillers grains, with the corresponding reduction in the use of natural gas and electricity. To move from least cost to least emissions allocations, ethanol plants would on average produce 25 % more of wet byproduct and 47% less of dry byproduct. Comparing results across observations, the estimated shadow cost of emission abatement ranges from $86 to $190 per ton of CO2, with average value of $124 per ton. This implied shadow cost of abatement can be used as a bench mark for pollution trading and serves to assess the potential response to biofeul regulations.

The catalogue comprises about 470kobjects within a common area of approximately 2100 deg².

J-HERTZ includes a machine-learning classification of the galaxies,QSOs and stars in the survey, based on Bayesian neural networks (BANNJOS, del Pino et al. 2024, submitted). Additionally, BANNJOS provides newphotometric redshifts for sources without previous spectroscopicobservations. The complete catalogue includes 370k galaxies,30k QSOs and 20k stars detected with high confidence (r < 20mag). In this work we describe the main properties of these threepopulations, including the galaxy stellar masses derived from CIGALEfitting to the J-PLUS photospectra (Arizo et al. in prep.), the AGNluminosity and radio-loudness distribution, and the presence of starswith activity at radio frequencies. J-HERTZ is publicly availablethrough the J-PLUS DR3 online repository.

Using the key idea of Chemin to solve 2-D vortex patch of ideal fluid, namely the striated regularity can help to bound the gradient of the velocity, we can prove the global well-posedness of the Boussinesq system with anisotropic thermal diffusion with initial vorticity being discontinuous across some smooth interface. In the case of an anisotropic horizontal viscosity we can study the propagation of the striated regularity for the smooth temperature patches problem.

description: Quantum anomalous Hall effect(QAHE) can only be realized at extremely low temperatures in magnetically doped topological insulators(TIs) due to limitations inherent with the doping precess. In an effort to boost the quantization temperature of QAHE, magnetic proximity effect in magnetic insulator/TI heterostructures has been extensively investigated. However, the observed anomalous Hall resistance has never been more than several Ohms, presumably owing to the interfacial disorders caused by the structural and chemical mismatch. Here, we show that, by growing (BixSb1-x)2Te3(BST) thin films on structurally and chemically well-matched, ferromagnetic-insulating CeGeTe3(CGT) substrates, the proximity-induced anomalous Hall resistance can be enhanced by more than an order of magnitude. This sheds light on the importance of structural and chemical match for magnetic insulator/TI proximity systems.

description: ANAtOLIA (Atmospheric moNitoring to Assess the availability of Optical LInks through the Atmosphere) is a project funded by the European Space Agency and aims to ground sites selection and assess their availabilities for optical links through the atmosphere. Astronomical observations and space-to-ground optical communications are limited by clouds, aerosols and atmospheric turbulence. Therefore, we developed in the framework of the ANAtOLIA project, an innovative and efficient instrumentation and methods to accurately measure, analyze, characterize, and ultimately predict critical atmospheric parameters for the purposes of the selection of the astronomical and OGS (Optical Ground Station) sites and the evaluation of their availability. The main mission objectives of ANAtOLIA are to design, manufacture, procure and assembly a self-standing and autonomous ground support equipment, comprising cloud, aerosol and turbulence monitoring to deliver precise measurements of the atmosphere transmission. ANAtOLIA is a compact mobile station consisting of the GMT monitor (Generalized Monitor of Turbulence), Reuniwatt Sky Insight camera and Cimel CE318-T photometer, which is operational 24h a day, 7 days a week in any site around the world with minimal infrastructure.
After two years of instrumental specifications, design, development and on sky tests, we started recently installation of the ANAtOLIA station on selected ground sites in ESA member states to record continuously local clouds, aerosol information and atmospheric turbulence conditions during a 24 month campaign. The data collected with these ANAtOLIA monitors will be correlated with data available from other sources of cloud coverage and atmospheric conditions (e.g., MSG, MODIS, local meteorological sites). The main goal of these correlations is to improve knowledge of the optical link availability for selected OGS sites and to carry out a long-term validation of the optical link availability prediction methods.

description: The understanding of the evolution of early-type stars is tightly related to that of the effects of rapid rotation. For massive stars, rapid rotation combines with their strong radiation-driven wind. The aim of this paper is to investigate two questions that are prerequisite to the study of the evolution of massive rapidly rotating stars: (i) What is the critical angular velocity of a star when radiative acceleration is significant in its atmosphere? (ii) How do mass and angular momentum loss depend on the rotation rate? To investigate fast rotation, which makes stars oblate, we used the 2D ESTER models and a simplified approach, the $ω$-model, which gives the latitudinal dependence of the radiative flux in a centrifugally flattened radiative envelope. We find that radiative acceleration only mildly influences the critical angular velocity, at least for stars with masses lower than 40 Msun. We explain this mild reduction of the critical angular velocity compared to the classical Keplerian angular velocity by the combined effects of gravity darkening and a reduced equatorial opacity that is due to the centrifugal acceleration. To answer the second question, we first devised a model of the local surface mass flux, which we calibrated with previously developed 1D models. The discontinuity (the so-called bi-stability jump) included in the $\dot{M}-T_{\rm eff}$ relation of 1D models means that the mass flux of a fast-rotating star is controlled by either a single wind or a two-wind regime. Mass and angular momentum losses are strong around the equator if the star is in the two-wind regime. We also show that the difficulty of selecting massive stars that are viewed pole-on makes detecting the discontinuity in the relation between mass loss and effective temperature also quite challenging.

Axial charge segregation and CP violation during the electroweak phase transition with hypermagnetic fields

description: We study the scattering of fermions off the true vacuum bubbles nucleated during a first order electroweak phase transition in the presence of a background hypermagnetic field. By considering the limit of an infinitely thin bubble wall, we derive and analytically solve the Dirac equation in three spatial dimensions for left and right chirality modes and compute reflection and transmission coefficients for the case when the fermions move from the symmetric toward the broken symmetry phase. Given the chiral nature of the fermion coupling with the background field in the symmetric phase, an axial asymmetry is generated during the scattering processes. This mechanism is thus shown to provide an additional source of CP violation within the standard model. We discuss possible implications for baryon number generation.

description: We report observations of quantum oscillations in single crystals of the high temperature superconductor MgB_2. Three de Haas-van Alphen frequencies are clearly resolved. Comparison with band structure calculations strongly suggests that two of these come from a single warped Fermi surface tube along the c direction, and that the third arises from cylindrical sections of an in-plane honeycomb network. The measured values of the effective mass range from 0.44-0.68 m_e. By comparing these with band masses calculated recently by three groups, we find that the electron-phonon coupling strength lambda, is a factor \~3 larger for the c-axis tube orbits than for the in-plane network orbit, in accord with recent microscopic calculations.

From topological to topologically massive gravity through the gauge principle

description: It is well known that three-dimensional Einstein's gravity without matter is topological, i.e. it does not have local propagating degrees of freedom. The main result of this work is to show that dynamics in the gravitational sector can be induced by employing the gauge principle on the matter sector. This is described by a non-dynamical fermion model that supports a global gauge symmetry. By gauging this symmetry, a vector-spinor field is added to the original action to preserve the local gauge invariance. By integrating out this spin-3/2 field, we obtain a gravitational Chern-Simons term that gives rise to local propagating degrees of freedom in the gravitational sector. This is defined, after the gauging, by topologically massive gravity.

description: In recent years, the image and video coding technologies have advanced by leaps and bounds. However, due to the popularization of image and video acquisition devices, the growth rate of image and video data is far beyond the improvement of the compression ratio. In particular, it has been widely recognized that there are increasing challenges of pursuing further coding performance improvement within the traditional hybrid coding framework. Deep convolution neural network (CNN) which makes the neural network resurge in recent years and has achieved great success in both artificial intelligent and signal processing fields, also provides a novel and promising solution for image and video compression. In this paper, we provide a systematic, comprehensive and up-to-date review of neural network based image and video compression techniques. The evolution and development of neural network based compression methodologies are introduced for images and video respectively. More specifically, the cutting-edge video coding techniques by leveraging deep learning and HEVC framework are presented and discussed, which promote the state-of-the-art video coding performance substantially. Moreover, the end-to-end image and video coding frameworks based on neural networks are also reviewed, revealing interesting explorations on next generation image and video coding frameworks/standards. The most significant research works on the image and video coding related topics using neural networks are highlighted, and future trends are also envisioned. In particular, the joint compression on semantic and visual information is tentatively explored to formulate high efficiency signal representation structure for both human vision and machine vision, which are the two dominant signal receptor in the age of artificial intelligence.
