description: The meta distribution of the signal-to-interference-ratio (SIR) is an important performance indicator for wireless networks because, for ergodic point processes, it describes the fraction of scheduled links that achieve certain reliability, conditionally on the point process. The calculation of the moments of the meta distribution requires the probability generating functional (PGFL) of the point process. In vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) along high-speed motorways, the Poisson point process (PPP) is a poor deployment model, because the drivers, due to the high speeds, maintain large safety distances. In this paper, we model the distribution of inter-vehicle distance equal to the sum of a constant hardcore distance and an exponentially distributed random variable. We design a novel \emph{discretization model} for the locations of vehicles which can be used to approximate well the PGFL due to the hardcore point process and the meta distribution of the SIR generated from synthetic motorway traces. On the other hand, the PPP overestimates significantly the coefficient-of-variation of the meta distribution due to the hardcore process, and its predictions fail. In addition, we show that the calculation of the meta distribution becomes especially meaningful in the upper tail of the SIR distribution.

description: The synthesis of 3-carboxymethyl-5-chloro-8,9-dimethoxy-10-methyl-l.2.3.4-tetrahydro-anthracene-l-one (XXIIIb), a key intermediate, in the synthesis of anhydrotetracyclines (IIa-c),is described. First the monomethylether XVIa of chloro-terranaphthoicacid was built up in a five-step reaction sequence starting with 3-methoxy-acetophenone. The
tetrahydro-anthracenone-carbonicacid XXIIc, giving the desired compound XXIIIb in an Arndt-Eistert chain prolongation, was produced by ring closure of the condensation product of sodium-triethyl-carboxy-succinicacid with the bromide of dimethyl-chloro-terranaphthol (XIXb).

description: In this paper we show that a slight modification to the widely popular interconnection and damping assignment passivity-based control method---originally proposed for stabilization of equilibria of nonlinear systems---allows us to provide a solution to the more challenging orbital stabilization problem. Two different, though related, ways how this procedure can be applied are proposed. First, the assignment of an energy function that has a minimum in a closed curve, i.e., with the shape of a Mexican sombrero. Second, the use of a damping matrix that changes "sign" according to the position of the state trajectory relative to the desired orbit, that is, pumping or dissipating energy. The proposed methodologies are illustrated with the example of the induction motor and prove that it yields the industry standard field oriented control.

description: A new optical topology and signal readout strategy for a laser interferometer gravitational wave detector were proposed recently by Braginsky and Khalili . Their method is based on using a nonlinear medium inside a microwave oscillator to detect the gravitational-wave-induced spatial shift of the interferometer's standing optical wave. This paper proposes a quantum nondemolition (QND) scheme that could be realistically used for such a readout device and discusses a "fundamental" sensitivity limit imposed by a higher order optical effect.

description: We focus on the three-state quantum walk(QW) in one dimension. In this paper, we give the stationary measure in general condition, originated from the eigenvalue problem. Firstly, we get the transfer matrices by our new recipe, and solve the eigenvalue problem. Then we obtain the general form of the stationary measure for concrete initial state and eigenvalue. We also show some specific examples of the stationary measure for the three-state QW. One of the interesting and crucial future problems is to make clear the whole picture of the set of stationary measures.

description: We consider a general method for computing the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents for moderately dense gases. This method is based upon hierarchy techniques used previously to derive the generalized Boltzmann equation for the time dependent spatial and velocity distribution functions for such systems. We extend the variables in the generalized Boltzmann equation to include a new set of quantities that describe the separation of trajectories in phase space needed for a calculation of the Lyapunov exponents. The method described here is especially suitable for calculating the sum of all of the positive Lyapunov exponents for the system, and may be applied to equilibrium as well as non-equilibrium situations. For low densities we obtain an extended Boltzmann equation, from which, under a simplifying approximation, we recover the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents for hard disk and hard sphere systems, obtained before by a simpler method. In addition we indicate how to improve these results by avoiding the simplifying approximation. The restriction to hard sphere systems in $d$-dimensions is made to keep the somewhat complicated formalism as clear as possible, but the method can be easily generalized to apply to gases of particles that interact with strong short range forces.

description: The universality of the swelling of the radius of gyration of a homopolymer relative to its value in the $θ$ state, independent of polymer-solvent chemistry, in the crossover regime between $θ$ and athermal solvent conditions, is well known. Here we study, by Brownian dynamics, a polymer model where a subset of monomers is labelled as "stickers". The mutual interaction of the stickers is more attractive than those of the other ("backbone") monomers, and has the additional important characteristic of "functionality" $φ$, i.e., the maximum number of stickers that can locally bind to a given sticker. A saturated bond formed in this manner remains bound until it breaks due to thermal fluctuations, a requirement which can be viewed as an additional Boolean degree of freedom that describes the bonding. This, in turn, makes the question of the order of the collapse transition a non-trivial one. Nevertheless, for the parameters that we have studied (in particular, $φ=1$), we find a standard second-order $θ$ collapse, using a renormalised solvent quality parameter that takes into account the increased average attraction due to the presence of stickers. We examine the swelling of the radius of gyration of such a sticky polymer relative to its value in the altered $θ$ state, using a novel potential to model the various excluded volume interactions that occur between the monomers on the chain. We find that the swelling of such sticky polymers is identical to the universal swelling of homopolymers in the thermal crossover regime. Additionally, for our model, the Kuhn segment length under $θ$ conditions is found to be the same for chains with and without stickers.

description: The blood-brain barrier poses a formidable impediment to the treatment of adult-onset neurodegenerative disorders, by prevention of most drugs from gaining access to the brain parenchyma. Focused ultrasound (FUS), in conjunction with systemically administered microbubbles, has been shown to open the blood-brain barrier (BBB) locally, reversibly and non invasively both in rodents and in non-human-primates. Initially, we demonstrate a monotonic increase of the BBB opening volume with close to normal incidence angle, detectable by diffusion tensor imaging; the employed contrast-free magnetic resonance protocol that revealed the anisotropic nature of the diffusion gradient. Implementation of this optimized BBB opening technique in Parkinsonian mice, coupled with the administration of trophic growth factors, induced restorative effects in the dopaminergic neurons, the main cellular target of the pathological process in Parkinson’s disease. The immune response initiated by the FUS-induced BBB disruption has been proven pivotal in reducing proteinaceous aggregates from the brain through the activation of a gliosis cascade. Therefore, we investigated this immunomodulatory effect in Alzheimer’s disease. The neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease include aggregation of amyloid beta into plaques and accumulation of tau protein into neurofibrillary tangles. Tau pathology correlates well with impaired neuronal activity and dementia and was found to be attenuated after the application of ultrasound that correlated with increased microglia activity. Given the beneficial effect of this methodology on the Alzheimer’s pathologies when studied separately, we explored the application of FUS in brains subjected concurrently to amyloidosis and tau phosphorylation. Our findings indicate the reduction of tau protein and decrease in the amyloid load from brains treated with ultrasound, accompanied by spatial memory improvement. Overall, in this dissertation, we established an optimized targeting and detection protocol, pre-clinical implementation of which confirmed its ameliorative effects as a drug-delivery adjuvant or an immune response stimulant. These preclinical findings support the immense potential of such a methodology that significantly contributes to the treatment of different neurodegenerative disorders curbing their progression.

Quantitative Modeling of Credit Derivatives

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The recent financial crisis has revealed major shortcomings in the existing approaches for modeling credit derivatives. This dissertation studies various issues related to the modeling of credit derivatives: hedging of portfolio credit derivatives, calibration of dynamic credit models, and modeling of credit default swap portfolios. In the first part, we compare the performance of various hedging strategies for index collateralized debt obligation (CDO) tranches during the recent financial crisis. Our empirical analysis shows evidence for market incompleteness: a large proportion of risk in the CDO tranches appears to be unhedgeable. We also show that, unlike what is commonly assumed, dynamic models do not necessarily perform better than static models, nor do high-dimensional bottom-up models perform better than simpler top-down models. On the other hand, model-free regression-based hedging appears to be surprisingly effective when compared to other hedging strategies. The second part is devoted to computational methods for constructing an arbitrage-free CDO pricing model compatible with observed CDO prices. This method makes use of an inversion formula for computing the aggregate default rate in a portfolio from expected tranche notionals, and a quadratic programming method for recovering expected tranche notionals from CDO spreads. Comparing this approach to other calibration methods, we find that model-dependent quantities such as the forward starting tranche spreads and jump-to-default ratios are quite sensitive to the calibration method used, even within the same model class. The last chapter of this dissertation focuses on statistical modeling of credit default swaps (CDSs). We undertake a systematic study of the univariate and multivariate properties of CDS spreads, using time series of the CDX Investment Grade index constituents from 2005 to 2009. We then propose a heavy-tailed multivariate time series model for CDS spreads that captures these properties. Our model can be used as a framework for measuring and managing the risk of CDS portfolios, and is shown to have better performance than the affine jump-diffusion or random walk models for predicting loss quantiles of various CDS portfolios.

description: The formation of stable dimers on top of terraces during epitaxial growth is investigated in detail. In this paper we focus on mean-field theory, the standard approach to study nucleation. Such theory is shown to be unsuitable for the present problem, because it is equivalent to considering adatoms as independent diffusing particles. This leads to an overestimate of the correct nucleation rate by a factor N, which has a direct physical meaning: in average, a visited lattice site is visited N times by a diffusing adatom. The dependence of N on the size of the terrace and on the strength of step-edge barriers is derived from well known results for random walks. The spatial distribution of nucleation events is shown to be different from the mean-field prediction, for the same physical reason. In the following paper we develop an exact treatment of the problem.

Quantitative and dynamic analysis of the focused-ultrasound induced blood-brain barrier opening in vivo for drug delivery
Creators: Samiotaki, Gesthimani
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Biomedical engineering

description: The rate limiting factor for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases is the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which protects the brain microenvironment from the efflux of large molecules, and thus it constitutes a major obstacle in therapeutic drug delivery. All state-of-the-art strategies to circumvent the BBB are invasive or non-localized, include side-effects and limited distribution of the molecule of interest to the brain.  Focused Ultrasound (FUS) in conjunction with microbubbles has been shown to open the BBB non-invasively, locally and transiently to allow large molecules diffusion in rodents and non-human primates. This thesis entails a quantitative analysis of the FUS-induced BBB opening in vivo for drug delivery in neurodegenerative diseases. First,  quantitative analysis and modeling  of the physiologic changes  of the BBB opening, such as permeability changes, volume of opening, and reversibility timeline, were studied in wild-type mice, in brain areas related to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. This study provided in vivo tools for BBB opening analysis, as well as the design of a FUS method with optimized parameters for efficient and safe drug delivery. Second, the neurotrophic factor Neurturin, which has been shown to have neuroregenerative and neuroprotective effects in dopaminergic neurons was successfully delivered in wild-type mice and MPTP-lesion parkinsonism model mice. It was shown that FUS enhanced the delivery of Neurturin to the entire regions of interest associated with the disease, downstream signaling for neuronal proliferation was also detected, and finally neuroregeneration was observed in the FUS-treated side compared to the contralateral side. In the third part of this thesis, a pre-clinical translation of the pharmacodynamic analysis was designed and analyzed in non-human primates. The permeability changes, the volume of opening separately in grey and white matter, as well as the concentration of an MR-contrast agent were measured in vivo for the first time. The interaction of FUS with the inhomogeneous primate brain was investigated and the drug delivery efficiency of the FUS technique for BBB opening was measured non-invasively; rather critical findings for safe and optimal drug delivery using FUS in a pre-clinical setting.

The work function [Phi] of the disordered Ni-film is smaller by 0.4 volts than that of the same film in the ordered stage. The activation energy for cristallisation is 803 cal/mol. - The representation of the spectral photoelectric sensitivity of the semiconducting films of Bi and Ge needs two values [Phi]1 and [Phi]2 and two constants M1 and M2 which measure the number of the centers emitting electrons. The variation of these constants with temperature and cristallisation is discussed by the theory of semiconductors.

name: Hesamzadeh, Mohammad Reza
name: Dehghani, Maryam
Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2025

description: This paper proposes a new approach for solving Quadratically Constrained Feasibility Problems (QCFPs). We introduce an isomorphic mapping (one-to-one and onto correspondence), which equivalently converts the QCFP to an optimization problem called the Inside-Ellipsoids Outside-Sphere Problem (IEOSP). This mapping preserves the convexity of convex constraints, but it converts all non-convex constraints to convex ones. The QCFP is a feasibility problem with non-convex constraints, while the IEOSP is an optimization problem with a convex feasible region and a non-convex objective function. It is shown that the global optimal solution of IEOSP is a feasible solution of the QCFP. Comparing the structures of QCFP and the proposed IEOSP, the second model only has one extra variable compared to the original QCFP because it employs one slack variable for the mapping. Thus, the problem dimension approximately remains unchanged. Due to the convexity of all constraints in IEOSP, it has a well-defined feasible region. Therefore, it can be solved much easier than the original QCFP. This paper proposes a solution algorithm for IEOSP that iteratively solves a convex optimization problem. The algorithm is mathematically shown to reach either a feasible solution of the QCFP or a local solution of the IEOSP. To illustrate our theoretical developments, a comprehensive numerical experiment is performed, and 500 different QCFPs are studied. All these numerical experiments confirm the promising performance and applicability of our theoretical developments in the current paper.

description: The Sä Dena Hes Mine is a former lead-zinc mine near Watson Lake, Yukon Territory operated for only 16 months in the early 1990s. After operations ceased, the property was acquired by the Sä Dena Hes Operating Company, of which Teck Resources Limited was the operating partner. Between 2013 and 2015, site characterization and ecological and human health risk assessments were undertaken to support permanent closure of the site. During the course of sampling, highly elevated concentrations of cadmium, lead and zinc were observed in inorganic soil and even more so in organic soils (2 – 4x higher than inorganic) downgradient of waste rock areas, especially in the ‘1380 Gully’. This gully is downgradient of the 1380 adit, directly adjacent to the main mineralized zone. Similarly, lead and zinc were highly elevated in willow and alder twigs (10 – 60 ppm dw vs < 1 in reference), ground invertebrates (50 – 125 ppm vs < 2 in reference) and small mammals (10 – 45 ppm vs < 1 in reference) in this area, posing elevated ecological risks. Human health risks were also identified in this area from elevated metal concentrations in soils (direct contact) and plants/small animals (consumption). Initially it was assumed that undisturbed areas adjacent to metals-contaminated areas were contaminated via aeolian and/or aquatic pathways from mine sources. Subsequent step out sampling revealed that this trend was also observed in well forested, undisturbed areas beyond the gully. Geochemical investigations confirmed that concentrations and ratios of Pb:Zn in inorganic soils of these areas were characteristic of mineralized zones. Enriched concentrations and different Pb:Zn ratios of organic soils by cationic metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn) was the result of uptake by plants and adsorption into A horizon soils that likely occurred over centuries. These lines of evidence concluded that while mining-related activity may have been a minor contributor, it was not primarily responsible for elevated metal concentrations in the 1380 Gully area. This has significant implications for risk managers when directing remedial efforts and communicating residual risks to regulators, First Nations and other stakeholders.

urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: F3061F04-546A-409E-B089-AE430CE5BAEE
Type species
Luperus dissimilis Jacoby, 1888, by present designation.
Diagnosis
In this genus, the distance between the antennal fossae equals less than twice the diameter of a fossa, the third antennomere is less than half as long as the second, the pronotum is equipped with a fine basal bead, the elytra lack a transverse impression at the basal third, the elytral punctation is conspicuous, and the apical lobe of the male abdomen is less than half as long as broad. Males lack the extraordinary modifications found in some other genera of Scelidites (greatly swollen antennomeres, large apicolateral fovea on the elytra, large apical extension to the metatibia, unusually enlarged tarsi on the middle or hind legs, abdominal appendages). The aedeagus (which may be either symmetrical or asymmetrical) lacks a sclerotized covering to the orifice. See the following key for additional diagnostic characters.
Etymology
The name of this new genus refers to the geographic distribution, which is principally in Mexico. It should be treated as a male noun.
Remarks
Mexiluperus gen. nov. includes two described species, both of which are here transferred from the genus Pseudoluperus: M. dissimilis (Jacoby, 1888) [originally named in Luperus] comb. nov., and M. wickhami (Horn, 1893) [originally named in Luperodes] comb. nov. See Clark (1987b) for a key to the species, including numerous undescribed species (as part of Pseudoluperus). See Fig. 119 for a habitus illustration. The genus occurs in Arizona and Mexico.

description: Partisan conflicts have been frequently analysed in comparative political science research. Yet little is known about the dimensions of political conflict at the local level in multi-level democracies. This article contributes to the literature on the estimation and analysis of party positions by first presenting a new dataset of more than 800 local party manifestos in Germany that allows for a systematic analysis of the dimensions of political conflict at the German local level. Secondly, it is demonstrated that (semi-)automatic content analysis of these texts offers a promising approach for gaining new insights into local party positions. Thirdly, the empirical analysis of German local party manifestos shows that partisan conflicts are not only structured along the left–right dimension but also along a dimension which distinguishes between parties addressing ‘local’ and ‘national’ issues to a varying degree in their manifestos, due to the different behaviour of established and populist parties.

description: We comment on a recent paper by Chen, Liu, and Ge (J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 31 (1998) 6473), wherein a nonlinear deformation of su(1,1) involving two deforming functions is realized in the exactly solvable quantum-mechanical problem with P\" oschl-Teller potential, and is used to derive the well-known su(1,1) spectrum-generating algebra of this problem. We show that one of the defining relations of the nonlinear algebra, presented by the authors, is only valid in the limiting case of an infinite square well, and we determine the correct relation in the general case. We also use it to establish the correct link with su(1,1), as well as to provide an algebraic derivation of the eigenfunction normalization constant.

description: Stevia rebaudiana leaves is a well-known medicinal plant for its non-caloric bio-sweetener. To enhance its value addition, employed first time for synthesis and stabilization of ZnO nanoparticles. The characterization using UV-Spec, FE-TEM, XRD, DLS revealed that SR-ZnO (ZnO particles obtained from S. rebaudiana) were flower-shape, 500–1,000 nm sizes, hydrodynamic diameter Z-average of polydisperse SR-ZnO was 582.35 ± 52.40 nm with a PDI of 0.33 ± 0.002. Furthermore, 76% degradation of methylene blue dye within 30 min exposure to SR-ZnO and plant extract under UV light indicates that it could be utilized as an efficient photocatalyst for wastewater treatment.

description: We use a new geometric construction, grope splitting, to give a sharp bound for separation of surfaces in 4-manifolds. We also describe applications of this technique in link-homotopy theory, and to the problem of locating pi_1-null surfaces in 4-manifolds. In our applications to link-homotopy, grope splitting serves as a geometric substitute for the Milnor group.

description: The dynamics of a nonconservative Gross-Pitaevskii equation for trapped atomic systems with attractive two-body interaction is numerically investigated, considering wide variations of the nonconservative parameters, related to atomic feeding and dissipation. We study the possible limitations of the mean field description for an atomic condensate with attractive two-body interaction, by defining the parameter regions where stable or unstable formation can be found. The present study is useful and timely considering the possibility of large variations of attractive two-body scattering lengths, which may be feasible in recent experiments.

New constraint from supernova explosions on light particles beyond the Standard Model

description: We propose a new constraint on light (sub-GeV) particles beyond the Standard Model that can be produced inside the proto-neutron star core resulting from the core-collapse supernova explosion. It is derived by demanding that the energy carried by exotic particles being transferred to the progenitor stellar envelopes must not exceed the explosion energy of $\lesssim 2\cdot 10^{51}$ erg of observed supernovae. We show specifically that for the case of a dark photon which kinetically mixes with the SM photon and decays predominantly to an $e^\pm$ pair, a smaller mixing parameter of one order of magnitude below the well-established supernova cooling bound can be excluded. Furthermore, our bound fills the gap between the cooling bound and the region constrained by (non)observation of gamma rays produced from supernovae for dark photons lighter than ~ 20 MeV. Our result also rules out the possibility of aiding successful supernova explosions by transferring energy from the supernova core to the shock with exotic particles.
