description: Regulation regimes subject to influence of interest groups are compared. It is shown that allocation of the regulated commodity varies with the implemented control and that the advantage of prices (vs. quotas) increases with the elasticity of the demand or the supply of the commodity and decreases with the number of organized producers in the regulated industry. Control regimes can be ranked for negative, but not for positive, externalities. An optimal policy combination, mixing prices and quotas, is identified and limitation on its application are discussed.

Black Holes in String Theory

description: Abstract: We construct the supergravity dual of the hot quark-gluon plasma in the mass-deformed N = 4 Super-Yang-Mills theory (also known as N = 1∗). The full ten-dimensional type IIB holographic dual is described by 20 functions of two variables, which we determine numerically, and it contains a black hole with S5 horizon topology. As we lower the temperature to around half of the mass of the chiral multiplets, we find evidence for (most likely a first-order) phase transition, which could lead either to one of the Polchinski-Strassler confining, screening, or oblique vacua with polarized branes, or to an intermediate phase corresponding to blackened polarized branes with an S2 ×S3 horizon topology. This phase transition is a feature that could in principle be seen by putting the theory on the lattice, and thus our result for the ratio of the chiral multiplet mass to the phase transition temperature, mc/T = 2.15467491205(6), constitutes the first prediction of string theory and AdS/CFT that could be independently checked via four-dimensional super-QCD lattice computation. We also construct the black-hole solution in certain five-dimensional gauged supergravity truncations and, without directly using uplift/reduction formulae, we find strong evidence that the five- and ten-dimensional solutions are the same. This indicates that five-dimensional gauged supergravity is powerful enough to capture the physics of the high-temperature deconfined phase of the Polchinski-Strassler quark-gluon plasma.

description: Energy-efficient control of magnetization without the help of a magnetic field is a key goal of spintronics. Purely heat-induced single-pulse all-optical toggle switching has been demonstrated, but so far only in Gd based amorphous ferrimagnet films. In this work, we demonstrate toggle switching in the half-metallic compensated ferrimagnetic Heusler alloys Mn2RuxGa, which have two crystallographically-inequivalent Mn sublattices. Moreover, we observe the switching at room temperature in samples that are immune to external magnetic fields in excess of 1 T, provided they exhibit compensation above room temperature. Observations of the effect in compensated ferrimagnets without Gd challenges our understanding of all-optical switching. The dynamic behavior indicates that Mn2RuxGa switches in 2 ps or less. Our findings widen the basis for fast optical switching of magnetization and break new ground for engineered materials that can be used for nonvolatile ultrafast switches using ultrashort pulses of light.

description: This paper analyses the problem of the allocation of common resources within a situation of political bargaining. Using Zusman's cooperative bargaining framework the effects of property rights and policy tools (prices&quantities) on the efficiency of the allocation, are examined. It shows that the Coase theorem holds when political power is equally distributed and price is the policy tool of the decision maker. When aggregate quantity is the policy tool, the efficiency depends on the distribution of the property rights. Likewise, it demonstrates that when property rights are not well defined, the efficiency of the allocation process depends on both elasticity of demand and supply. Finally it proves that when property rights are not defined, using price as a policy tool results in a higher quantity allocation than in the situation when quantity is the policy tool.

description: Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are solar-harvesting devices fabricated from a transparent waveguide that is doped or coated with lumophores. Despite their potential for architectural integration, the optical efficiency of LSCs is often limited by incomplete harvesting of solar radiation and aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) of lumophores in the solid state. Here, we demonstrate a multilumophore LSC design that circumvents these challenges through a combination of nonradiative Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE). The LSC incorporates a green-emitting poly(tetraphenylethylene), p-O-TPE, as an energy donor and a red-emitting perylene bisimide molecular dye (PDI-Sil) as the energy acceptor, within an organic-inorganic hybrid diureasil waveguide. Steady-state photoluminescence studies demonstrate the diureasil host induced AIE from the p-O-PTE donor polymer, leading to a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of ∼45% and a large Stokes shift of ∼150 nm. Covalent grafting of the PDI-Sil acceptor to the siliceous domains of the diureasil waveguide also inhibits nonradiative losses by preventing molecular aggregation. Due to the excellent spectral overlap, FRET was shown to occur from p-O-TPE to PDI-Sil, which increased with acceptor concentration. As a result, the final LSC (4.5 cm × 4.5 cm × 0.3 cm) with an optimized donor-acceptor ratio (1:1 by wt %) exhibited an internal photon efficiency of 20%, demonstrating a viable design for LSCs utilizing an AIE-based FRET approach to improve the solar-harvesting performance.

description: We present the first orbital elements for the massive close binary, HD 115071, a double-lined spectroscopic binary in a circular orbit with a period of 2.73135 +/- 0.00003 days. The orbital semiamplitudes indicate a mass ratio of M_2/M_1 = 0.58 +/- 0.02 and yet the stars have similar luminosities. We used a Doppler tomography algorithm to reconstruct the individual component optical spectra, and we applied well known criteria to arrive at classifications of O9.5 V and B0.2 III for the primary and secondary, respectively. We present models of the Hipparcos light curve of the ellipsoidal variations caused by the tidal distortion of the secondary, and the best fit model for a Roche-filling secondary occurs for an inclination of i = 48.7 +/- 2.1 degrees. The resulting masses are 11.6 +/- 1.1 and 6.7 +/- 0.7 solar masses for the primary and secondary, respectively, so that both stars are very overluminous for their mass. The system is one of only a few known semi-detached, Algol-type binaries that contain O-stars. We suggest that the binary has recently emerged from extensive mass transfer (possibly through a delayed contact and common envelope process).

description: Among the additives used for diesel fuels in the market of most developed countries, additives that increase the cetane number are widespread. Analysis of the existing range of promising cetane-increasing additives showed that the main components of these additives are compounds such as cyclohexylnitrate or 2-ethylhexylnitrate. The development of an additive that increases the local cetane number based on cheap and available raw materials is a pressing problem and has great practical significance.

description: Water has been heavily subsidized in Israel for many years and this policy has resulted in severe wastage of water. Drought, the peace process and the rapid, increase of urban demand has enforced the need for reform in the allocation and pricing of water. Water markets have been suggested in the past, as an efficient mechanism for the allocation of water, despite the lack of empirical evidence to support this claim. National ownership of land and water, as well as the nature of the settlement process in Israel, prevented the creation of Israeli water markets. The privatization of the Israeli water economy has been introduced through quasi-market mechanisms at both the regional and the national level. At the national level, a Hicksian type barter market is practised with given shares of the "initial endowments" while the aggregate water quantity is determined administratively by the central government. At the regional level, a "passive" water trading mechanism is introduced where at a price announced by the policy maker, each individual uses water according to his demand curve and pays a fine or receives monetary compensation according to his share in the aggregate water right. Regulation of a private firm which supplies water at the regional level, is conducted through monitoring the optimal ratio of conjunctive use of surface and underground water. Finally the efficiency of the current tiered pricing policy vs. the reform, is tested, using empirical data from several regions in Israel.

description: The effects of the threat of occurrence of environmental catastrophes on optimal pollution control is considered. Recent analysis of irreversible events is extended to two types of reversible events: single-occurrence and multiple-occurrence (recurrent) events. While it is possible that the threat of irreversible events induces more pollution, we show that reversible events, under quite general conditions, induce more conservation (less pollution). The analysis is carried out via a simple method (the "ho-method") to identify optimal steady states by comparing steady state policies with small variations from them. For recurrent events the optimal state process must approach a unique steady state from any initial level. In this case, the ho-method characterizes the dynamic behavior of the optimal state process without actually solving for it.

description: We describe projection operators in the matter sector of Witten's cubic string field theory using modes on the right and left halves of the string. These projection operators represent a step towards an analytic solution of the equations of motion of the full string field theory, and can be used to construct Dp-brane solutions of the string field theory when the BRST operator Q is taken to be pure ghost, as suggested in the recent conjecture by Rastelli, Sen and Zwiebach. We show that a family of solutions related to the sliver state are rank one projection operators on the appropriate space of half-string functionals, and we construct higher rank projection operators corresponding to configurations of multiple D-branes.

description: We present the evolution of the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) properties of the globular cluster (GC) populations and their host galaxies formed in the E-MOSAICS suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. We compute the luminosities of all clusters associated with 25 simulated Milky Way-mass galaxies, discussed in previous works, in the rest-frame UV and optical bands by combining instantaneous cluster properties (age, mass, metallicity) with simple stellar population models, from redshifts $z=0$ to 10. Due to the rapid fading of young stellar populations in the UV, most of the simulated galaxies do not host GCs bright enough to be individually identified in deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations, even in highly magnified systems. The median age of the most UV-luminous GCs is $<10$ Myr (assuming no extinction), increasing to $\gtrsim 100$ Myr for red optical filters. We estimate that these GCs typically only contribute a few per cent of the total UV luminosity of their host galaxies at any epoch. We predict that the number density of UV-bright proto-GCs (or cluster clumps) will peak between redshifts $z=1-3$. In the main progenitors of Milky Way-mass galaxies, $10$-$20$ per cent of the galaxies at redshifts $1 \lesssim z \lesssim 3$ have clusters brighter than $M_{\rm UV} < -15$, and less than $10$ per cent at other epochs. The brightest cluster in the galaxy sample at $z>2$ is typically $M_{\rm UV} \sim -16$, consistent with the luminosities of observed compact, high-redshift sources.

description: Detection and imaging of an electrically conductive object at a distance can be achieved by inducing eddy currents in it and measuring the associated magnetic field. We have detected low-conductivity objects with an optical magnetometer based on room-temperature cesium atomic vapor and a noise-canceling differential technique which increased the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by more than three orders of magnitude. We detected small containers with a few mL of salt-water with conductivity ranging from 4-24 S/m with a good SNR. This demonstrates that our optical magnetometer should be capable of detecting objects with conductivity < 1 S/m with a SNR > 1 and opens up new avenues for using optical magnetometers to image low-conductivity biological tissue including the human heart which would enable non-invasive diagnostics of heart diseases.

The QSO data constraints are significantly weaker than, but consistent with, those from the $H(z)$ + BAO data. A joint analysis of the QSO + $H(z)$ + BAO data is consistent with the current standard model, spatially-flat $Λ$CDM, but mildly favors closed spatial hypersurfaces and dynamical dark energy.

As predicted by Ros et al. (2007a), C. salebrosum Szweyk., Buczkowska & Odrzykoski, a species split from C. conicum s.s. by Szweykowski et al. (2005), is currently widespread in the Mediterranean area (Hallingbäck 2019). Therefore, its presence in Algeria is probable, and the distribution of conicum is uncertain.

Recent experimental data from the SELEX and E791 Collaborations at FNAL provide important information on the production mechanism of charm hadrons. In particular, the production of the $Λ_c$ baryon provides a good test of the intrinsic charm and the recombination mechanisms, which have been proposed to explain the so called leading particle effects.

description: Chest X-rays (CXRs) are among the most commonly used medical image modalities. They are mostly used for screening, and an indication of disease typically results in subsequent tests. As this is mostly a screening test used to rule out chest abnormalities, the requesting clinicians are often interested in whether a CXR is normal or not. A machine learning algorithm that can accurately screen out even a small proportion of the "real normal" exams out of all requested CXRs would be highly beneficial in reducing the workload for radiologists. In this work, we report a deep neural network trained for classifying CXRs with the goal of identifying a large number of normal (disease-free) images without risking the discharge of sick patients. We use an ImageNet-pretrained Inception-ResNet-v2 model to provide the image features, which are further used to train a model on CXRs labelled by expert radiologists. The probability threshold for classification is optimized for 100% precision for the normal class, ensuring no sick patients are released. At this threshold we report an average recall of 50%. This means that the proposed solution has the potential to cut in half the number of disease-free CXRs examined by radiologists, without risking the discharge of sick patients.

description: Chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing steel has been recognized as the primary factor in degrading the durability of reinforced concrete structures exposed to chloride-rich environments. This research aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms of ionic transport behaviors in both natural and recycled aggregate concrete and to develop accurate and reliable prediction models to estimate the chloride transport processes during diffusion and migration tests. Based on the understanding of ionic diffusion, electromigration, polarization, and physicochemical reactions, several numerical and analytical models for chloride penetration in heterogenous concrete are proposed. Firstly, Poisson, Laplace, and current conservation models are developed based on Gauss’s law and current conservation law to investigate the interaction of different ionic species in concrete. The differences and application scope of the three models are discussed based on the obtained numerical results. A five-phase numerical model and a two-step analytical model are proposed to characterize the heterogeneous properties of concrete with both natural and recycled aggregates and to investigate the influence of each phase on concrete resistance to chloride ingress. Polarization-induced potential drop between outside electrodes and concrete surfaces during migration tests and its influences on inner ionic transport are investigated using a multi-species and overpotential model. A sequential non-iterative algorithm (SNIA) is introduced to connect the outside polarization and inner ionic transport. Physical and chemical reactions between free ions in pore solution and cement hydrates and their influences on chloride penetration are investigated by using a reactive mass transport model and a non-equilibrium binding model. This thesis has contributed to an improved understanding of the mechanisms of chloride penetration in heterogeneous concrete and provided recommendations for modelling the durability performance of concrete structures in terms of chlorides attack.

description: We present a method for solving the lightcurve of an eclipsing binary system which contains a Cepheid variable as one of its components as well as the solutions for three eclipsing Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). A geometric model is constructed in which the component stars are assumed to be spherical and on circular orbits. The emergent system flux is computed as a function of time, with the intrinsic variations in temperature and radius of the Cepheid treated self-consistently. Fitting the adopted model to photometric observations, incorporating data from multiple bandpasses, yields a single parameter set best describing the system. This method is applied to three eclipsing Cepheid systems from the MACHO Project LMC database: MACHO ID's 6.6454.5, 78.6338.24 and 81.8997.87. A best-fit value is obtained for each system's orbital period and inclination and for the relative radius, color and limb-darkening coefficients of each star. Pulsation periods and parameterizations of the intrinsic color variations of the Cepheids are also obtained and the amplitude of the radial pulsation of each Cepheid is measured directly. The system 6.6454.5 is found to contain a 4.97-day Cepheid, which cannot be definitely classified as Type I or Type II, with an unexpectedly brighter companion. The system 78.6338.24 consists of a 17.7-day, W Vir Class Type II Cepheid with a smaller, dimmer companion. The system 81.8997.87 contains an intermediate-mass, 2.03-day overtone Cepheid with a dimmer, red giant secondary.

description: In recent years, there has been increased research interest in detecting anomalies in temporal streaming data. A variety of algorithms have been developed in the data mining community, which can be divided into two categories (i.e., general and ad hoc). In most cases, general approaches assume the one-size-fits-all solution model where a single anomaly detector can detect all anomalies in any domain. To date, there exists no single general method that has been shown to outperform the others across different anomaly types, use cases and datasets. In this paper, we propose SAFARI, a general framework formulated by abstracting and unifying the fundamental tasks in streaming anomaly detection, which provides a flexible and extensible anomaly detection procedure to overcome the limitations of one-size-fits-all solutions. SAFARI helps to facilitate more elaborate algorithm comparisons by allowing us to isolate the effects of shared and unique characteristics of different algorithms on detection performance. Using SAFARI, we have implemented various anomaly detectors and identified a research gap that motivates us to propose a novel learning strategy in this work. We conducted an extensive evaluation study of 20 detectors that are composed using SAFARI and compared their performances using real-world benchmark datasets with different properties. The results indicate that there is no single superior detector that works well for every case, proving our hypothesis that "there is no free lunch" in the streaming anomaly detection world. Finally, we discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each method in-depth and draw a set of conclusions to guide future users of SAFARI.

description: Small-scale ephemeral coronal holes may be a recurring feature on the solar disk, but have received comparatively little attention. These events are characterized by compact structure and short total lifetimes, substantially less than a solar disk crossing. We present a systematic search for these events, using Atmospheric Imaging Assembly EUV image data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory, covering the time period 2010 - 2015. Following strict criteria, this search yielded four clear examples of the ephemeral coronal hole phenomenon. The properties of each event are characterized, including their total lifetime, growth and decay rates, and areas. The magnetic properties of these events are also determined using Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager data. Based on these four events, ephemeral coronal holes experience rapid initial growth of up to 3000 Mm2/hr, while the decay phases are typically more gradual. Like conventional coronal holes, the mean magnetic field in each ephemeral coronal hole displays a consistent polarity, with mean magnetic flux densities generally < 10 G. No evidence of a corresponding signature is seen in solar wind data at 1 AU. Further study is needed to determine whether ephemeral coronal holes are under-reported events or a truly rare phenomenon.

description: A BRST perturbative analysis of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in a class of maximal Abelian gauges is presented. We point out the existence of a new nonintegrated renormalizable Ward identity which allows to control the dependence of the theory from the diagonal ghosts. This identity, called the diagonal ghost equation, plays a crucial role for the stability of the model under radiative corrections implying, in particular, the vanishing of the anomalous dimension of the diagonal ghosts. Moreover, the Ward identity corresponding to the Abelian Cartan subgroup is easily derived from the diagonal ghost equation. Finally, a simple proof of the fact that the beta function of the gauge coupling can be obtained from the vacuum polarization tensor with diagonal gauge fields as external legs is given. A possible mechanism for the decoupling of the diagonal ghosts at low energy is also suggested.

description: Following a previous description of Lambda and Lambda-bar polarization in unpolarized p-p interactions, within a perturbative QCD factorization scheme with new polarizing fragmentation functions, here we investigate the transverse polarization of Lambda's and Lambda-bar's produced in semi-inclusive DIS. Analytical expressions for both neutral and charged current exchange are given. Since quantitative predictions cannot be given at this stage and comparison with existing data are not yet significant, we present the general formalism and a qualitative analysis displaying generic features of the Lambda and Lambda-bar polarization for specific scenarios. Different kinematical situations are considered, corresponding to experiments currently able to study Lambda production in semi-inclusive DIS.

description: Deep optical CCD images of the supernova remnant G 17.4-2.3 were obtained and faint emission has been discovered. The images, taken in the emission lines of Halpha+[N II], [S II] and [O III], reveal filamentary structures in the east, south-east area, while diffuse emission in the south and central regions of the remnant is also present. The radio emission in the same area is found to be well correlated with the brightest optical filament. The flux calibrated images suggest that the optical filamentary emission originates from shock-heated gas ([S II]/Halpha > 0.4), while the diffuse emission seems to originate from an HII region ([S II]/Halpha < 0.3). Furthermore, deep long-slit spectra were taken at the bright [O III] filament and clearly show that the emission originates from shock heated gas. The [O III] flux suggests shock velocities into the interstellar "clouds" greater than 100 km/s, while the [S II] 6716/6731 ratio indicates electron densities ~240 cm^{-3}. Finally, the Halpha emission has been measured to be between 7 to 20 x 10^{-17} erg s^{-1} cm^{-2} arcsec^{-2}.

description: Density matrices evolved according the von Neumann equation are commonly used to simulate the dynamics of driven quantum systems. However, computational methods using density matrices are often too slow to explore the large parameter spaces of solid state quantum systems. Here we develop a unitary computation method to quickly perform simulations for closed quantum systems, where dissipation to the environment can be ignored. We use three techniques to optimize simulations, apply them to six time-dependent pulses for a semiconductor quantum dot qubit system, and predict the dynamic evolutions. We compare computational times between our unitary method and the density matrix method for a variety of image sizes. As an example, we implement our unitary method for a realistic four-state system [Z. Shi, et al., Nat. Commun. 5, 3020 (2014)], and find that it is over two orders of magnitude faster than the corresponding density matrix method implemented in the popular quantum simulation software QuTiP.

description: Objectives: Osteophytes are highly prevalent in osteoarthritis (OA) and are associated with pain and functional disability. These pathological outgrowths of cartilage and bone typically form at the junction of articular cartilage, periosteum and synovium. The aim of this study was to identify the cells forming osteophytes in OA. Methods: Fluorescent genetic cell-labelling and tracing mouse models were induced with tamoxifen to switch on reporter expression, as appropriate, followed by surgery to induce destabilisation of the medial meniscus. Contributions of fluorescently labelled cells to osteophytes after 2 or 8 weeks, and their molecular identity, were analysed by histology, immunofluorescence staining and RNA in situ hybridisation. Pdgfrα-H2BGFP mice and Pdgfrα-CreER mice crossed with multicolour Confetti reporter mice were used for identification and clonal tracing of mesenchymal progenitors. Mice carrying Col2-CreER, Nes-CreER, LepR-Cre, Grem1-CreER, Gdf5-Cre, Sox9-CreER or Prg4-CreER were crossed with tdTomato reporter mice to lineage-trace chondrocytes and stem/progenitor cell subpopulations. Results: Articular chondrocytes, or skeletal stem cells identified by Nes, LepR or Grem1 expression, did not give rise to osteophytes. Instead, osteophytes derived from Pdgfrα-expressing stem/progenitor cells in periosteum and synovium that are descendants from the Gdf5-expressing embryonic joint interzone. Further, we show that Sox9-expressing progenitors in periosteum supplied hybrid skeletal cells to the early osteophyte, while Prg4-expressing progenitors from synovial lining contributed to cartilage capping the osteophyte, but not to bone. Conclusion: Our findings reveal distinct periosteal and synovial skeletal progenitors that cooperate to form osteophytes in OA. These cell populations could be targeted in disease modification for treatment of OA.

description: We discuss a generalized form of IIA/IIB supergravity depending on all R-R potentials C^(p) (p=0,1,...,9) as the effective field theory of Type IIA/IIB superstring theory. For the IIA case we explicitly break this R-R democracy to either p<=3 or p>=5 which allows us to write a new bulk action that can be coupled to N=1 supersymmetric brane actions. The case of 8-branes is studied in detail using the new bulk & brane action. The supersymmetric negative tension branes without matter excitations can be viewed as orientifolds in the effective action. These D8-branes and O8-planes are fundamental in Type I' string theory. A BPS 8-brane solution is given which satisfies the jump conditions on the wall. As an application of our results we derive a quantization of the mass parameter and the cosmological constant in string units.
