title: Assessing monetary policy transmission in Saudi Arabia: dynamics of demand components within a small open oil-based economy under a pegged regime
Creators: name: Alaidarous, Hamed
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2026

description: This dissertation contributes to the monetary transmission literature by providing a
comprehensive assessment of how monetary actions, under the pegged regime and
within an oil-based economy, influence key macroeconomic variables in Saudi Arabia.
The dissertation offers both theoretical insights and empirical evidence about how
demand components respond to monetary actions and highlights the transmission
mechanisms through which these effects are transmitted. Cumulatively, it enhances the
understanding of monetary transmission and assesses the effectiveness of the current
framework. The thesis starts with an introduction that establishes the overall setting
for the thesis. Chapters 1, 2, and 3 can each be read as stand-alone papers; thus, each
includes its own introduction, review of the literature, and employs different methodologies and data sets. Chapter one contributes to the exchange rate pass-through
literature by providing a theoretical analysis, based on Campa and Goldberg [2005]
but adapted to comply with the assumptions of the dominant currency paradigm
(DCP) and pegged regime, of how changes in trading partners’ currencies against
the dollar are transmitted to import prices, especially as prior studies indicate higher
pass-through under pegged regimes than floating, (Parsley [2003], Barhoumi [2006],
Akofio-Sowah [2009], Jin [2012]). Chapter two contributes to neoclassical investment
analysis for commodity-based economies by examining the monetary transmission to
investment decisions, taking into account the movements of real commodity prices. This
chapter includes an analysis based on the dynamics of firms’ balance sheets, exploring
not only the interest rate channel but also the broad credit channel, as discussed in
Bernanke and Gertler [1995] and Mishkin [1996]. Chapter three enriches the existing
literature on monetary transmission by analyzing the transmission mechanism into
households’ consumption-saving decisions, particularly in the context of market and
cultural constraints that limit the economic efficiency of financial saving channels. The
chapter specifically examines the short-term response of private consumption to interest
rate changes, with a focus on the role of the banking channel in this transmission
process. To capture the short-term effects of unexpected monetary shocks, business
cycle analysis is applied, providing a detailed understanding of short-term consumption
dynamics. Finally, the conclusion section of the thesis provides final remarks and offers
suggestions for future research directions.

description: Since labor costs to move products from the processors' loading docks to store shelves take about 22 cents of each food dollar, a decline in labor productivity over recent years is a growing concern to consumers and the food industry. From 1929 to 1972, labor productivity in the Nation's retailing and wholesaling industries was marked by rapid gains. However, by 1977 these gains had slowed considerably, and by the end of the decade productivity in the food industry had registered a decline. These developments evolved over the past half century from the continuous changes in the food industry.

description: Let $M$ be a compact manifold. and $D$ a Dirac type differential operator on $M$. Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. Given a bundle $W$ of $A$-modules over $M$ (with connection), the operator $D$ can be twisted with this bundle. One can then use a trace on $A$ to define numerical indices of this twisted operator. We prove an explicit formula for this index. Our result does complement the Mishchenko-Fomenko index theorem valid in the same situation. We establish generalizations of these explicit index formulas if the trace is only defined on a dense and holomorphically closed subalgebra $\mathcal{B}$. As a corollary, we prove a generalized Atiyah $L^2$-index theorem if the twisting bundle is flat. There are actually many different ways to define these numerical indices. From their construction, it is not clear at all that they coincide. An important part of the paper are complete proofs of this statement. In particular, we establish the (well known but not well documented) equality of Atiyah's definition of the $L^2$-index with a K-theoretic definition. In case $A$ is a von Neumann algebra of type 2, we put special emphasis on the calculation and interpretation of the center valued index. This completely contains all the K-theoretic information about the index of the twisted operator. Some of our calculations are done in the framework of bivariant KK-theory.

description: With the advent of large spectroscopic surveys, automated stellar parameter determination has become commonplace. Nevertheless, spectral classification still offers a quick and useful alternative for obtaining parameter estimates for large samples of spectra of varying quality. We present a new atlas of stellar spectra covering the B-type range, with the intention of providing detailed classification criteria valid for modern spectra and improving the grid of reliable standards. This new grid will be used in future works to provide classification criteria beyond the classical classification range and addressing, in particular, the use of Gaia/RVS spectra. We analysed historical standards by means of multiple high-resolution spectra, marking out problematic cases and complementing the grid with a new set of reliable comparators. We then elaborated on a new set of classification criteria based on high-quality R=4000 spectra. Our new classification grid is much thicker than any previous set of standards, presenting a high degree of self-consistency. Although it is based entirely on morphological criteria, the grid demonstrates a much better correlation with different physical parameters. The new grid can be used to study classification criteria in other spectral ranges, providing a valuable tool for the study of B-type stars that covers a very wide range of temperatures, luminosities, and stellar masses. The very process of classification also offers valuable insights into stellar evolution.

description: We use Monte Carlo simulations to study attractive and excluded volume interactions between nucleosome core particles in 30 nm-chromatin fibers. The nucleosomes are treated as disk-like objects having an excluded volume and short range attraction modelled by a variant of the Gay-Berne potential. The nucleosomes are connected via bendable and twistable linker DNA in the crossed linker fashion. We investigate the influence of the nucleosomal excluded volume on the stiffness of the fiber. For parameter values that correspond to chicken erythrocyte chromatin we find that the persistence length is governed to a large extent by that excluded volume whereas the soft linker backbone elasticity plays only a minor role. We further find that internucleosomal attraction can induce the formation of hairpin configurations. Tension-induced opening of such configurations into straight fibers manifests itself in a quasi-plateau in the force-extension curve that resembles results from recent micromanipulation experiments. Such hairpins may play a role in the formation of higher order structures in chromosomes like chromonema fibers.

description: With the strong computation capability, NUMA-based multi-GPU system is a promising candidate to provide sustainable and scalable performance for Virtual Reality. However, the entire multi-GPU system is viewed as a single GPU which ignores the data locality in VR rendering during the workload distribution, leading to tremendous remote memory accesses among GPU models. By conducting comprehensive characterizations on different kinds of parallel rendering frameworks, we observe that distributing the rendering object along with its required data per GPM can reduce the inter-GPM memory accesses. However, this object-level rendering still faces two major challenges in NUMA-based multi-GPU system: (1) the large data locality between the left and right views of the same object and the data sharing among different objects and (2) the unbalanced workloads induced by the software-level distribution and composition mechanisms. To tackle these challenges, we propose object-oriented VR rendering framework (OO-VR) that conducts the software and hardware co-optimization to provide a NUMA friendly solution for VR multi-view rendering in NUMA-based multi-GPU systems. We first propose an object-oriented VR programming model to exploit the data sharing between two views of the same object and group objects into batches based on their texture sharing levels. Then, we design an object aware runtime batch distribution engine and distributed hardware composition unit to achieve the balanced workloads among GPMs. Finally, evaluations on our VR featured simulator show that OO-VR provides 1.58x overall performance improvement and 76% inter-GPM memory traffic reduction over the state-of-the-art multi-GPU systems. In addition, OO-VR provides NUMA friendly performance scalability for the future larger multi-GPU scenarios with ever increasing asymmetric bandwidth between local and remote memory.

description: We develop an abstract way of defining linear-optics networks designed to perform quantum information tasks such as quantum gates. We will be mainly concerned with the nonlinear sign shift gate, but it will become obvious that all other gates can be treated in a similar manner. The abstract scheme is extremely well suited for analytical as well as numerical investigations since it reduces the number of parameters for a general setting. With that we show numerically and partially analytically for a wide class of states that the success probability of generating a nonlinear sign shift gate does not exceed 1/4 which to our knowledge is the strongest bound to date.

The Effect of Interventions on Balance Self-Efficacy in the Stroke Population: A Systematic Review

description: Stroke, or cerebral vascular accident (CVA), is reported to be the leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. Impairments in balance and mobility are common after stroke and stroke survivors are estimated to suffer more than twice as many falls as age and gender-matched counterparts. In addition to falls, research has shown that balance and mobility impairments are associated with decreased self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is defined as “an individual’s judgment of his or her ability to organize and execute given types of performances”. Impaired balance self-efficacy has been reported in community dwelling post-stroke patients and has been shown to be an independent predictor of satisfaction with community reintegration in older adults with chronic stroke. In order to prevent a perpetuating cycle of falls, decreased self-efficacy, avoidance behavior, deconditioning and functional decline, it is important for both therapists and researchers to understand how balance self-efficacy can be improved in the stroke population. There is currently little understanding of how to best improve balance self-efficacy in stroke patients; therefore, our objective is to determine the effect of various interventions on balance self-efficacy in the stroke population, and to determine which types of interventions are most effective.

description: We consider the entanglement properties of the quantum phase transition in the single-mode superradiance model, involving the interaction of a boson mode and an ensemble of atoms. For infinite system size, the atom-field entanglement of formation diverges logarithmically with the correlation length exponent. Using a continuous variable representation, we compare this to the divergence of the entropy in conformal field theories, and derive an exact expression for the scaled concurrence and the cusp-like non-analyticity of the momentum squeezing.

description: Low-power sensing technologies, such as wearables, have emerged in the healthcare domain since they enable continuous and non-invasive monitoring of physiological signals. In order to endow such devices with clinical value, classical signal processing has encountered numerous challenges. However, data-driven methods, such as machine learning, offer attractive accuracies at the expense of being resource and memory demanding. In this paper, we focus on the inference of neural networks running in microcontrollers and low-power processors which wearable sensors and devices are generally equipped with. In particular, we adapted an existing convolutional-recurrent neural network, designed to detect and classify cardiac arrhythmias from a single-lead electrocardiogram, to the low-power embedded System-on-Chip nRF52 from Nordic Semiconductor with an ARM's Cortex-M4 processing core. We show our implementation in fixed-point precision, using the CMSIS-NN libraries, yields a drop of $F_1$ score from 0.8 to 0.784, from the original implementation, with a memory footprint of 195.6KB, and a throughput of 33.98MOps/s.

description: The aim of patristic research was different for the Church in the first four centuries from the aim stated by scholars today. Today, the primary aim is to find the purest text, identical, if possible, with the text that emerged from the pen of the sacred authors. In fact, Christian behavior, which is clearly defined in relation to heretics and pagans, is inherited from the forefathers and is based on teaching. Respect for one's forebears is inherited, as is the care to preserve the words of the fathers and exegetes of the past. For the patristic period, the major objective of the study of the Holy Scriptures was the application of its teaching to the life of the faithful, who had to be enlightened in their discussions with heretics about the orthodoxy of the Church's teaching and its praxis, which truly leads to salvation.

description: We analyze the spreading of wavepackets in two-dimensional quasiperiodic and random tilings as a function of their codimension, i.e. of their topological complexity. In the quasiperiodic case, we show that the diffusion exponent that characterizes the propagation decreases when the codimension increases and goes to 1/2 in the high codimension limit. By constrast, the exponent for the random tilings is independent of their codimension and also equals 1/2. This shows that, in high codimension, the quasiperiodicity is irrelevant and that the topological disorder leads in every case, to a diffusive regime, at least in the time scale investigated here.

description: (abridged) The third data release of Gaia, has provided stellar parameters, metallicity [M/H], [α/Fe], individual abundances, broadening parameter from its RVS spectra for about 5.6 million objects thanks to the GSP-Spec module. The catalogue publishes the radial velocity of 33 million sources. We took advantage of the intersections between Gaia RVS and Gaia-ESO to compare their stellar parameters, abundances and radial and rotational velocities. We aimed at verifying the overall agreement between the two datasets, considering the various calibrations and the quality-control flag system suggested for the Gaia GSP-Spec parameters. For the targets in common between Gaia RVS and Gaia-ESO, we performed several statistical checks on the distributions of their stellar parameters, abundances and velocities of targets in common. For the Gaia surface gravity and metallicity we considered both the uncalibrated and calibrated values. We find an excellent agreement between the Gaia and Gaia-ESO radial velocities given the uncertainties affecting each dataset. Less than 25 of ~2100 Gaia-ESO spectroscopic binaries are flagged as non-single stars by Gaia. The temperature scales are in good agreement. The calibrated GSP-Spec gravity should be preferred. We note that the quality (accuracy, precision) of the GSP-Spec parameters degrades quickly for objects fainter than G~11. We find that the somewhat imprecise GSP-Spec abundances due to its medium-resolution spectroscopy over a short wavelength window and the faint G regime of the sample under study can be counterbalanced by working with averaged quantities. We studied some properties of the open-cluster population: our combined sample traces very well the radial [Fe/H] and [Ca/Fe] gradients, the age-metallicity relations in different radial regions, and it places the clusters in the thin disc.

description: Most of the exact solutions of quantum one-dimensional Hamiltonians are obtained thanks to the success of the Bethe ansatz on its several formulations. According to this ansatz the amplitudes of the eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian are given by a sum of permutations of appropriate plane waves. In this paper, alternatively, we present a matrix product ansatz that asserts that those amplitudes are given in terms of a matrix product. The eigenvalue equation for the Hamiltonian define the algebraic properties of the matrices defining the amplitudes. The existence of a consistent algebra imply the exact integrability of the model. The matrix product ansatz we propose allow an unified and simple formulation of several exact integrable Hamiltonians. In order to introduce and illustrate this ansatz we present the exact solutions of several quantum chains with one and two global conservation laws and periodic boundaries such as the XXZ chain, spin-1 Fateev-Zamolodchikov model, Izergin-Korepin model, Sutherland model, t-J model, Hubbard model, etc. Formulation of the matrix product ansatz for quantum chains with open ends is also possible. As an illustration we present the exact solution of an extended XXZ chain with $z$-magnetic fields at the surface and arbitrary hard-core exclusion among the spins.

Close to the transition point, the system shows dynamically generated dimension reduction and crossover, resulting in one or more spin reentrant transitions.

description: The GLITP collaboration observed the first gravitational lens system (QSO 0957+561) from 2000 February 3 to 2000 March 31. The daily VR observations were made with the 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma (Spain). We have derived detailed and robust VR light curves of the two components Q0957+561A and Q0957+561B. In spite of the excellent sampling rate, we have not found evidence in favor of true daily variability. With respect to variability on time-scales of several weeks, we measure VR gradients of about -0.8 mmag/day in Q0957+561A and + 0.3 mmag/day in Q0957+561B. The gradients are very probably originated in the far source, thus adopting this reasonable hypothesis (intrinsic variability), we compare them to the expected gradients during the evolution of a compact supernova remnant at the redshift of the source quasar. The starburst scenario is roughly consistent with some former events, but the new gradients do not seem to be caused by supernova remnant activity.

description: Fully automated vehicles will require new functionalities for perception, navigation and decision making -- an Autonomous Driving Intelligence (ADI). We consider architectural cases for such functionalities and investigate how they integrate with legacy platforms. The cases range from a robot replacing the driver -- with entire reuse of existing vehicle platforms, to a clean-slate design. Focusing on Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCVs), we assess these cases from the perspectives of business, safety, dependability, verification, and realization. The original contributions of this paper are the classification of the architectural cases themselves and the analysis that follows. The analysis reveals that although full reuse of vehicle platforms is appealing, it will require explicitly dealing with the accidental complexity of the legacy platforms, including adding corresponding diagnostics and error handling to the ADI. The current fail-safe design of the platform will also tend to limit availability. Allowing changes to the platforms, will enable more optimized designs and fault-operational behaviour, but will require initial higher development cost and specific emphasis on partitioning and control to limit the influences of safety requirements. For all cases, the design and verification of the ADI will pose a grand challenge and relate to the evolution of the regulatory framework including safety standards.
Constraint on Vector Coherent Oscillation Dark Matter with Kinetic Function

description: A spatially uniform vector condensate can be formed during inflation if the vector boson is coupled to the inflaton through nontrivial kinetic function. The coherent oscillation of such a massive vector boson is a dark matter candidate. In this paper we consider the case where the vector boson energy density increases during inflation and show that the curvature/isocurvature perturbation gives stringent constraint on this scenario.

Fractal properties of the diffusion coefficient in a simple deterministic dynamical system: a numerical study
Creators: name: Koza, Zbigniew

description: Using a numerical library for arbitrary precision arithmetic I study the irregular dependence of the diffusion coefficient on the slope of a piecewise linear map defining a dynamical system. I find that the graph of the diffusion coefficient as a function of the slope has the fractal dimension 1, but the convergence to this limit is slowed down by logarithmic corrections. The exponent controlling this correction depends on the slope and is either 1 or 2 depending on existence and properties of a Markov partition.

How does agriculture respond to the nutrition challenge?

description: Good question! In the ‘good old days’ of agricultural research from the middle of last century, the objective was clear – increase food and fibre production to feed and clothe rapidly growing human populations. That is no longer the case. Agricultural research and policy now confront new challenges of unprecedented scale and complexity: climate change and nutrition. With fewer than one-third of the global population on a healthy diet, what is the role of agriculture? It is no longer just about producing more food, more efficiently and more sustainably, but producing more and healthier food, efficiently and sustainably, and ensuring that it is distributed equitably. Systemically, agriculture is obviously part of the food system, but it is also central to the health system, with climate change as a risk multiplier for both. Agriculture and health have yet to come to grips with this 21st Century reality, in either science or policy. This brief overview presentation discusses this dilemma through the lens of agricultural research. We are still shaping the research agenda for nutrition in agriculture. It is clear that we will need to develop new platforms for collaboration across the food system, between the food and health systems, and between the public and private sectors. In doing so, the skills we have developed in brokering durable partnerships, the practice of involving end-users in the process of scientific inquiry, and the principle of developing enduring capabilities in science and policy in the countries with which we partner, remain more relevant than ever.
Recognising the role of the livestock sector in human health and nutrition

description: Global livestock narratives have hit an interesting, and increasingly conflicting, point in recent history, with the often-lauded ‘livestock revolution’ accompanied by increasing ‘anti-livestock’ rhetoric driven largely by environmental concerns and calls to decrease, and in some cases halt, global production and consumption of animal-source foods altogether. However, while the world’s wealthier countries have ready access to a broad and diverse range of healthy plant-based diet alternatives, animal-source foods remain integral to the health and economies of an estimated 70% of the world’s rural poor. Moreover, existing opportunities for smallholder and pastoralist livestock-keepers to contribute to improved human health and nutrition are often overlooked by ‘blanket’ narratives that fail to appreciate the distinct differences between commercial and smallholder/pastoralist livestock systems. Smallholder livestock producers have opportunities to directly contribute to improved human health and nutrition through improving the quality, sufficiency and safety of animal-source foods. Livestock-keeping also has indirect benefits: for example, livestock-derived income can facilitate better and more diverse food choices, and promote health-seeking behaviour and illnessprevention measures. Good governance of smallholder livestock sectors that promotes the social, economic and nutritional benefits of livestockkeeping, while minimising environmental, welfare and public health impacts of livestock intensification, is a balancing act; but one that has never been more important as the world’s population continues to grow.

description: A square lattice is introduced into the Penna model for biological aging in order to study the evolution of diploid sexual populations under certain conditions when one single locus in the individual's genome is considered as identifier of species. The simulation results show, after several generations, the flourishing and coexistence of two separate species in the same environment, i.e., one original species splits up into two on the same territory (sympatric speciation). As well, the mortalities obtained are in a good agreement with the Gompertz law of exponential increase of mortality with age.

An interpretation of scalars in SO(32)

description: We propose an interpretation for the adjoint representation of the $SO(32)$ group to classify the scalars of a generic Supersymmetric Standard Model having just three generations of particles, via a flavour group $SU(5)$. We show that this same interpretation arises from a simple postulate of self-consistence of composites for these scalars. The model looks only for colour and electric charge, and it pays the cost of an additional chiral $+4/3$ quark per generation.

A Failed attempt at creating Guidelines for Visual GUI Testing: An industrial case study

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Software development is governed by guidelines that aim to improve the code’s qualities, such as maintainability. However, whilst coding guidelines are commonplace for software, guidelines for testware are much less common. In particular, for GUI-based tests driven with image recognition, also referred to as Visual GUI Testing (VGT), explicit coding guidelines are missing. In this industrial case study, performed at the Swedish defence contractor Saab AB, we propose a set of coding guidelines for VGT and evaluate their impact on test scripts for an industrial, safety-critical system. To study the guidelines’ effect on maintenance costs, five representative manual test cases are each translated with and without the proposed guidelines in the two VGT tools SikuliX and EyeAutomate. As such, 20 test scripts were developed, with a combined development cost of more than 100 man-hours. Three of the tests are then maintained by one researcher and two practitioners for another version of the system and costs measured to evaluate return on investment. This analysis is complemented with observations and interviews to elicit practitioners’ perceptions and experiences with VGT. Results show that scripts developed with the guidelines had higher maintenance costs than scripts developed without guide- lines. This is supported by qualitative results that many of the guidelines are considered inappropriate, superfluous or unnec- essary due to the inherent properties of the scripts, e.g. their natural small size, linear flows, natural separation of concerns, and more. We conclude that there are differences between VGT scripts and software that prohibit direct translation of guidelines between the two. As such, we consider our study as a failure but argue that several lessons can be drawn from our results to guide future research into guidelines for VGT and GUI-based test automation.
