description: The adequate estimation of the share exchange ratio plays a pivotal role with reference to M&As, particularly in stock for stock transactions. This paper aims to explore relevant factors impacting the share swap mechanism in establishing an appropriate range of values to attribute during absorption or consolidation transactions. The share exchange ratio – a key measure to reveal the correct number of shares to issue in exchange for each individual share of the target entity – not only has financial implications for the business combination but can also reflect the strategic dimension and the potential synergies between the merging enterprises. Therefore, by advancing a ‘comprehensive’ analysis of the economic-strategic factors and value components, we provide new insights into the complex process of determining the above-mentioned ratio. Various methodologies are examined, taking into account both the stand-alone view of the company and the potential synergies expected from the merger. In particular, we show how the synergistic value (often excluded for simplification) can be variously allocated within the swap ratio structure. To cover a gap in the literature, we propose four interconnected approaches and conclude by defining a synthesis formula based on a reasonable criterion for the potential sharing of synergies between the involved parties. Analysts, appraisers, and decision-makers can make informed decisions in approaching an optimal and balanced share exchange ratio that maximizes value creation and, in general, the M&A strategy.

How Deep was Green? A Close Analysis of Sustainability and Value Orientation in VW Prior to the 2015 Emissions Scandal

Subjects: Sustainability, Green Agenda, Brown Agenda, Value Orientation, VW, Emissions Scandal, Shareholder theory, Stakeholder theory.

description: This paper discusses sustainability and its application from the business perspective, with a particular focus on Volkswagen, a leading automaker in the world. Given its long history of aligning itself to the sustainability agenda by portraying itself as a sustainable automaker and revelations to the contrary following the 2015 carbon emissions scandal, it makes VW an ideal choice for this study whose broad focus is sustainability in the business world. In this respect, this study looks at sustainability from the holistic perspective of sustainable business management (taking into account corporate social and environmental social obligations besides the traditional economic sustainability inclined to revenue and profit generation) and value orientation in VW prior to the 2015 carbon emissions scandal to understand the depth of the automaker’s green agenda. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyse sustainability and value orientation in Volkswagen prior to the 2015 carbon emissions scandal to understand the depth of the automaker’s green agenda. From the literature review, it is evident that VW’s sustainability or green agenda prior to the 2015 carbon emissions scandal was not as deep as portrayed by the automaker. As demonstrated in the Black Sapote Strategy analogy devised by the author, VW intentionally advanced a brown agenda (the use of Brown Agenda should be understood as activities that counter the green agenda and have a negative impact on the environment) which it coated with a thin green layer characterised by deceptive commitments to the sustainability agenda, including self-proclamation as a global environmental leader. These actions by VW violated the principles of sustainability, given that they were focused on destroying social and environmental value which do not only undermine the ability of corporations like VW to generate future products and profits but also the future generations’ ability to meet their needs. From the literature review and the analysis thereof, it is evident that the value orientation of Volkswagen prior to the 2015 carbon emissions scandal was hinged on stakeholder’s theory, a radical one for that matter, whose interest was to generate revenue and profits for its stakeholders “at all costs”.

description: Interferometric observations of microlensing events have the potential to provide unique constraints on the physical properties of the lensing systems. In this work, we first present a formalism that closely combines interferometric and microlensing observable quantities, which lead us to define an original microlensing (u,v) plane. We run simulations of long-baseline interferometric observations and photometric light curves to decide which observational strategy is required to obtain a precise measurement on vector Einstein radius. We finally perform a detailed analysis of the expected number of targets in the light of new microlensing surveys (2011+) which currently deliver 2000 alerts/year. We find that a few events are already at reach of long baseline interferometers (CHARA, VLTI), and a rate of about 6 events/year is expected with a limiting magnitude of K~10. This number would increase by an order of magnitude by raising it to K~11. We thus expect that a new route for characterizing microlensing events will be opened by the upcoming generations of interferometers.

Gauge cooling for the singular-drift problem in the complex Langevin method --a test in Random Matrix Theory for finite density QCD

description: Recently, the complex Langevin method has been applied successfully to finite density QCD either in the deconfinement phase or in the heavy dense limit with the aid of a new technique called the gauge cooling. In the confinement phase with light quarks, however, convergence to wrong limits occurs due to the singularity in the drift term caused by small eigenvalues of the Dirac operator including the mass term. We propose that this singular-drift problem should also be overcome by the gauge cooling with different criteria for choosing the complexified gauge transformation. The idea is tested in chiral Random Matrix Theory for finite density QCD, where exact results are reproduced at zero temperature with light quarks. It is shown that the gauge cooling indeed changes drastically the eigenvalue distribution of the Dirac operator measured during the Langevin process. Despite its non-holomorphic nature, this eigenvalue distribution has a universal diverging behavior at the origin in the chiral limit due to a generalized Banks-Casher relation as we confirm explicitly.

description: The FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable) data principles describe requirements for sustainable research data. To implement the FAIR principles for artificial intelligence (AI) methods, it is necessary to record the connections between raw data, model architecture, hyperparameters, and the results so that this knowledge can be later used to track the thought process and to enable comparative and transfer studies. We propose and implemented a concept that automatizes research data management for artificial intelligence, minimizing the overhead for the individual researcher. An AI project, which had the goal to develop a neural network for automatically detecting breathing motion in dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) images of the lung, was managed using the proposed concept as a proof of concept. Three different model architectures, a regular Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a two-branch CNN and a hybrid model consisting of a time-distributed CNN followed by a Long short-term Memory (LSTM) network were trained and compared. As a result of using the proposed concept we were able to record rich metadata and links between entities and automatically generate a knowledge graph for data provenance of the AI work packages of this project.

On the inward drift of runaway electrons during the plateau phase of runaway current

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The well observed inward drift of current carrying runaway electrons during runaway plateau regime after disruption is studied by considering the phase space dynamic of runaways in a large aspect ratio toroidal system. We consider the case where the toroidal field is unperturbed and the toroidal symmetry of the system is preserved. The balance between the change in canonical angular momentum and the input of mechanical angular momentum in such system requires runaways to drift horizontally in configuration space for any given change in momentum space. The dynamic of this drift can be obtained by taking the variation of canonical angular momentum. It is then found that runaway electrons will always drift inward as long as they are decelerating. This drift motion is essentially non-linear, since the current is carried by runaways themselves, and any runaway drift relative to the magnetic axis will cause further displacement of the axis itself. A simplified analytical model is constructed to describe such inward drift both in ideal wall case and no wall case, and the runaway current center displacement as a function of parallel momentum variation is obtained. The time scale of such displacement is estimated by considering effective radiation drag, which shows reasonable agreement with observed displacement time scale. This indicates that the phase space dynamic studied here plays a major role in the horizontal displacement of runaway electrons during plateau regime.

description: We suggest an additional possible plasma source to explain part of the phenomena observed for the transiting hot Jupiters WASP-12b and HD 189733b in their ultraviolet (UV) light curves. In the proposed scenario, material outgasses from the molten surface of Trojan satellites on tadpole orbits near the Lagrange points L$_4$ and L$_5$. We show that the temperature at the orbital location of WASP-12b is high enough to melt the surface of rocky bodies and to form shallow lava oceans on them. In case of WASP-12b, this leads to the release of elements such as Mg and Ca, which are expected to surround the system. The predicted Mg and Ca outgassing rates from two Io-sized WASP-12b Trojans are $\approx 2.2 \times 10^{27}$ s$^{-1}$ and $\approx 2.2 \times 10^{26}$ s$^{-1}$, respectively. Trojan outgassing can lead to the apparent lack of emission in Mg{\sc ii}\,h\&k and Ca{\sc ii}\,H\&K line cores of WASP-12. For HD 189733b, the mechanism is only marginally possible due to the lower temperature. This may be one of the reasons that couldn't explain the early ingress of HD 189733b observed in the far-UV (FUV) C{\sc ii} doublet due to absence of carbon within elements outgassed by molten lava. We investigate the long-term stability region of WASP-12b and HD 189733b in case of planar and inclined motion of these satellites and show that unlike the classical exomoons orbiting the planet, Io-sized Trojans can be stable for the whole systems life time.

description: A class of vector-tensor theories arises naturally in the framework of quadratic gravity in spacetimes with linear vector distortion. Requiring the absence of ghosts for the vector field imposes an interesting condition on the allowed connections with vector distortion: the resulting one-parameter family of connections generalises the usual Weyl geometry with polar torsion. The cosmology of this class of theories is studied, focusing on isotropic solutions wherein the vector field is dominated by the temporal component. De Sitter attractors are found and inhomogeneous perturbations around such backgrounds are analysed. In particular, further constraints on the models are imposed by excluding pathologies in the scalar, vector and tensor fluctuations. Various exact background solutions are presented, describing a constant and an evolving dark energy, a bounce and a self-tuning de Sitter phase. However, the latter two scenarios are not viable under a closer scrutiny.

description: A frame work has been presented for theoretical interpretation of various modified gravitational models which is based on the group theoretical approach and unitary irreducible representations (UIR's) of de Sitter (dS) group. In order to illustrate the application of the proposed method, a model of modified gravity has been investigated. The background field method has been utilized and the linearized modified gravitational field equation has been obtained in the 4-dimensional dS space-time as the background. The field equation has been written as the eigne-value equation of the Casimir operators of dS space using the flat 5-dimensional ambient space notations. The Minkowskian correspondence of the theory has been obtained by taking the zero curvature limit. It has been shown that under some simple conditions, the linearized modified field equation transforms according to two of the UIR's of dS group labeled by $Π^\pm_{2,1}$ and $Π^\pm_{2,2}$ in the discrete series. It means that the proposed modified gravitational theory can be a suitable one to describe the quantum gravitational effects in its linear approximation on dS space. The field equation has been solved and the solution has been written as the multiplication of a symmetric rank-2 polarization tensor and a massless scalar field using the ambient space notations. Also the two-point function has been calculated in the ambient space formalism. It is dS invariant and free of any theoretical problem.

description: Estimates for the reliability of Thurstone's regression factor score predictor, Bartlett's factor score predictor, and McDonald's factor score predictor were proposed. As in Kuder-Richardson's formula, the reliability estimates are based on a hypothetical set of equivalent items. The reliability estimates were compared by means of simulation studies. Overall, the reliability estimates were largest for the regression score predictor, so that the reliability estimates for Bartlett's and McDonald's factor score predictor should be compared with the reliability of the regression score predictor, whenever Bartlett's or McDonald's factor score predictor are to be computed. An R-script and an SPSS-script for the computation of the respective reliability estimates is presented.

Hot spots and the hollowness of proton-proton interactions at high energies

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We present a dynamical explanation of the hollowness effect observed in proton-proton scattering at $\sqrt s\!=\!7$ TeV. This phenomenon, not observed at lower energies, consists in a depletion of the inelasticity density at zero impact parameter of the collision. Our analysis is based on three main ingredients: we rely gluonic hot spots inside the proton as effective degrees of freedom for the description of the scattering process. Next we assume that some non-trivial correlation between the transverse positions of the hot spots inside the proton exists. Finally we build the scattering amplitude from a multiple scattering, Glauber-like series of collisions between hot spots. In our approach, the onset of the hollowness effect is naturally explained as due to the diffusion or growth of the hot spots in the transverse plane with increasing collision energy.

description: We derive supersymmetry/supergravity models with constrained orthogonal nilpotent superfields from the linear models in the formal limit where the masses of the sgoldstino, inflatino and sinflaton tend to infinity. The case where the sinflaton mass remains finite leads to a model with a `relaxed' constraint, where the sinflaton remains an independent field. Our procedure is equivalent to a requirement that some of the components of the curvature of the moduli space tend to infinity.

description: Distributional properties -including Laplace transforms- of integrals of Markov processes received a lot of attention in the literature. In this paper, we complete existing results in several ways. First, we provide the analytical solution to the most general form of Gaussian processes (with non-stationary increments) solving a stochastic differential equation. We further derive the characteristic function of integrals of Lévy-processes and Lévy driven Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes with time-inhomogeneous coefficients based on the characteristic exponent of the corresponding stochastic integral. This yields a two-dimensional integral which can be solved explicitly in a lot of cases. This applies to integrals of compound Poisson processes, whose characteristic function can then be obtained in a much easier way than using joint conditioning on jump times. Closed form expressions are given for gamma-distributed jump sizes as an example.

Characterization of the Nonequilibrium Steady State of a Heterogeneous Nonlinear $q$-Voter Model with Zealotry

description: We introduce an heterogeneous nonlinear $q$-voter model with zealots and two types of susceptible voters, and study its non-equilibrium properties when the population is finite and well mixed. In this two-opinion model, each individual supports one of two parties and is either a zealot or a susceptible voter of type $q_1$ or $q_2$. While here zealots never change their opinion, a $q_i$-susceptible voter ($i=1,2$) consults a group of $q_i$ neighbors at each time step, and adopts their opinion if all group members agree. We show that this model violates the detailed balance whenever $q_1 \neq q_2$ and has surprisingly rich properties. Here, we focus on the characterization of the model's non-equilibrium stationary state (NESS) in terms of its probability distribution and currents in the distinct regimes of low and high density of zealotry. We unveil the NESS properties in each of these phases by computing the opinion distribution and the circulation of probability currents, as well as the two-point correlation functions at unequal times (formally related to a "probability angular momentum"). Our analytical calculations obtained in the realm of a linear Gaussian approximation are compared with numerical results.

Laser-plasma interactions with a Fourier-Bessel Particle-in-Cell method

description: A new spectral particle-in-cell (PIC) method for plasma modeling is presented and discussed. In the proposed scheme, the Fourier-Bessel transform is used to translate the Maxwell equations to the quasi-cylindrical spectral domain. In this domain, the equations are solved analytically in time, and the spatial derivatives are approximated with high accuracy. In contrast to the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) methods that are commonly used in PIC, the developed method does not produce numerical dispersion, and does not involve grid staggering for the electric and magnetic fields. These features are especially valuable in modeling the wakefield acceleration of particles in plasmas. The proposed algorithm is implemented in the code PLARES-PIC, and the test simulations of laser plasma interactions are compared to the ones done with the quasi-cylindrical FDTD PIC code CALDER-CIRC.

title: Evaluation of candidate fingerprint features for employment within template-free biometric cryptosystems
Creators: name: Harmer, Karl
Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: With the increasing employment of biometric authentication worldwide, there have been significant concerns over the security and privacy of the biometric templates, which are stored and used for matching. This thesis investigates a relatively new area of biometric authentication, known as biometric encryption. Biometric encryption is an alternative form of authentication where an encryption key is either generated, or retrieved, instead of a binary result indicating verification. The key can subsequently be used to encrypt and decrypt data using existing encryption algorithms, such as triple-DES, AES and RSA. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of generating stable and strong encryption keys directly from biometric features, without the use of templates. To accomplish this, a proof-of-concept was created using the fingerprint biometric modality. Fingerprints currently possess a limited range of features, although they are highly variable and result in many user distributions overlapping. Therefore, if consistent, highly entropic keys can be generated using fingerprint features, other modalities, whose feature distributions are better behaved, should improve the performance of the generated key. By performing statistical tests, on the countless variants of existing and novel feature vectors, the best performing feature vectors were then selected for deployment in a template-free biometric encryption system. Although the results were not exceptional, an encryption key, with 21 effective bits, was reproduced correctly -80% of the time with 55% unique keys in the resultant key-space. These results are encouraging, although significant improvements would be necessary in order to obtain the performance required of a practical system.
Signatures and conditions for phase band crossings in periodically driven integrable systems

description: We present generic conditions for phase band crossings for a class of periodically driven integrable systems represented by free fermionic models subjected to arbitrary periodic drive protocols characterized by a frequency $ω_D$. These models provide a representation for the Ising and $XY$ models in $d=1$, the Kitaev model in $d=2$, several kinds of superconductors, and Dirac fermions in graphene and atop topological insulator surfaces. Our results demonstrate that the presence of a critical point/region in the system Hamiltonian (which is traversed at a finite rate during the dynamics) may change the conditions for phase band crossings that occur at the critical modes. We also show that for $d>1$, phase band crossings leave their imprint on the equal-time off-diagonal fermionic correlation functions of these models; the Fourier transforms of such correlation functions, $F_{\vec k_0}( ω_0)$, have maxima and minima at specific frequencies which can be directly related to $ω_D$ and the time at which the phase bands cross at $\vec k = \vec k_0$. We discuss the significance of our results in the contexts of generic Hamiltonians with $N>2$ phase bands and the underlying symmetry of the driven Hamiltonian.

description: Interesting connection has been established between two apparently unrelated concepts, namely, quantum nonlocality and Bayesian game theory. It has been shown that nonlocal correlations in the form of advice can outperform classical equilibrium strategies in common interest Bayesian games and also in conflicting interest games. However, classical equilibrium strategies can be of two types, fair and unfair. Whereas in fair equilibrium payoffs of different players are same, in unfair case they differ. Advantage of nonlocal correlation has been demonstrated over fair strategies. In this work we show that quantum strategies can outperform even the unfair classical equilibrium strategies. For this purpose we consider a class of two players games which as a special case includes the conflicting game proposed in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 020401 (2015)]. These games can have both fair and unfair classical equilibria and also can have only unfair ones. We provide a simple analytic characterization of the nonlocal correlations that are advantageous over the classical equilibrium strategies in these games.
