description: We use redshift observations of two deep 1.4GHz fields to probe the evolution of the bright end of the radio galaxy luminosity function to z=1.5. We show that the number of galaxies with radio power that would correspond locally to an ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIG) evolves rapidly over this redshift range. The optical spectra and X-ray luminosities are used to refine this result by separating the sources with clear active galactic nucleus (AGN) signatures from those that may be dominated by star formation. Both populations show extremely rapid evolution over this redshift range. We find that the number of sources with ULIG radio power and no clear AGN signatures evolves as (1+z)^(7).

description: In the era of modern digital sky surveys, uncertainties in the flux of stellar standards are commonly the dominant systematic error in photometric calibration and can often affect the results of higher-level experiments. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) spectrophotometry, which is based on computed model atmospheres for three hot (Teff > 30,000 K) pure-hydrogen (DA) white dwarfs, is currently considered the most reliable and internally consistent flux calibration. However many next generation facilities (e.g. Harmoni on E-ELT, Euclid and JWST) will focus on IR observations, a regime in which white dwarf calibration has not yet been robustly tested. Cool DA white dwarfs have energy distributions that peak close to the optical or near-IR, do not have shortcomings from UV metal line blanketing, and have a reasonably large sky density ($\simeq$ 4 deg$^{-2}$ at G < 20), making them, potentially, excellent calibrators. Here we present a pilot study based on STIS+WFC3 observations of two bright DA white dwarfs to test whether targets cooler than current hot primary standards (Teff < 20,000 K) are consistent with the HST flux scale. We also test the robustness of white dwarf models in the IR regime from an X-shooter analysis of Paschen lines and by cross-matching our previously derived Gaia white dwarf catalogue with observations obtained with 2MASS, UKIDSS, VHS, and WISE.

Theoretical and Practical Issues of Local Government Capacity in an Era of Devolution

description: The United States is in the midst of massive devolution or decentralization of domestic programs in health care, welfare, and other functions. With devolution come greatly increased responsibilities for local governments. As local governments are assuming more responsibility for policymaking, management, and implementation of important national goals, it is important to consider their capacity or ability to take on these added responsibilities. This article asks critical questions, poses problems entailed in measuring capacity, challenges the question of whether local governments have the necessary capacity to undertake new demands being placed on them, and discusses the special capacity-building needs of local governments. It may be more important for local governments to be able to obtain additional capacity to meet new challenges than for them to have the capacity in order to be ready to receive the new challenges. In a sense, it is irrelevant whether they have the capacity because the federal government with considerable public support has decided that local governments will take on more responsibility for domestic programs. The question, then, is what can be done to help them perform their expanded roles as well as possible. Information sharing, networking, removing barriers to local flexibility and creativity, and technical assistance are some of the opportunities higher-level governments and other technical assistance providers, such as universities, have for increasing the capacity of local governments.

description: The environment in which local governments, particularly smaller more rural governments operate, has undergone fundamental changes. What was once modest part-time volunteer service by civic-minded persons has been transformed into complex, time consuming political environments. As the responsibilities and challenges of managing local government mounts, institutions of higher education can play a significant role in helping these community volunteers better understand and act upon the new environment in which they find themselves. In this article, we lay out one potential line of thinking to help institutions of higher education address this growing need for applied research and outreach education.
Nonequilibrium spintronic transport through an artificial Kondo impurity: Conductance, magnetoresistance and shot noise

description: We investigate the nonequilibrum transport properties of a quantum dot when spin flip processes compete with the formation of a Kondo resonance in the presence of ferromagnetic leads. Based upon the Anderson Hamiltonian in the strongly interacting limit, we predict a splitting of the differential conductance when the spin flip scattering amplitude is of the order of the Kondo temperature. We discuss how the relative orientation of the lead magnetizations strongly influences the electronic current and the shot noise in a nontrivial way. Furthermore, we find that the zero-bias tunneling magnetoresistance becomes negative with increasing spin flip scattering amplitude.

description: Macro- and microhabitat preference of Testudo hermanni boettgeri, the eastern subspecies of Hermann’s tortoise, was investigated utilizing modified methodology for the western subspecies which emphasized the importance of habitat heterogeneity preservation. The study objective was to explore the habitat preferences of the eastern subspecies of T. hermanni. Research was conducted within the same year at four localities in Eastern and Southeastern Serbia. Macrohabitat determination was conducted using a 0 to 5 land cover score system (coverage with herbaceous, bushy or tree vegetation) for 4 m2 tortoise encounter surroundings. Microhabitat analysis was carried out by determining the plant species in closest contact with the tortoise in the moment of recording. Plants were classified into six groups: 1) aromatic, 2) bramble, 3) herbaceous, 4) thorny shrub, 5) tree and 6) non-thorny shrubs. X2 test was used for comparison between expected and empirical habitat preference. Results confirmed that the most attractive macrohabitats for Eastern Hermann’s tortoises in this part of the Balkans are meadows and open shrublands, with the addition of dense forest (important in wormer months), what is concordant with earlier data from the Mediterranean part of former Yugoslavia. The most attractive microhabitats were “herbaceous plants”, followed by “bramble”.

description: These materials are the informed consent forms, participant information sheets (PIS) and questionnaire for the OpTIMUM study (Optimising Timing of whooping cough Immunisation in MUMs).

Pertussis is a highly infectious respiratory illness caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis. A resurgence of pertussis, even in countries with good vaccine coverage, has led to an increase in infant deaths. In response to this, many countries have introduced pertussis vaccination in pregnancy. This strategy is effective at preventing infant disease, but there remains uncertainty about what gestational timing is best to ensure maximal protection of the infant. These uncertainties are the rationale for this randomised controlled trial and a sub-study investigating pertussis-specific antibody in breastmilk.
There are different informed consent forms and participant information sheets for the two sites which participated in the breastmilk sub-study and the remaining sites which did not.

Breastmilk and non-breastmilk sites
Participants for the breastmilk sub-study were only recruited from Southampton and St George's. To ensure that participants at these sites received the correct information, we used different PIS and Informed Consent Forms (ICF) at the sites participating in the breastmilk sub-study and the sites not participating in the sub-study.

The filenames in the materials indicate which PIS and ICF were provided to which sites.

A perturbative calculation in powers of 1/z of the effective potential for the density of particles phi(t) and an instantonic field psi(t) emerging from the quantum formalism is performed. Corrections to the mean-field distribution of densities of particles in the out-of-equilibrium stationary state are derived in powers of 1/z. Results for typical (e.g. average density) and rare fluctuation (e.g. lifetime of the metastable state) properties are in very good agreement with numerical simulations carried out on D-dimensional hypercubic (z=2D) and Cayley lattices.

Financial Economics

description: Rural America is again undergoing difficult and sometimes painful economic change. After a decade of growth, rural income, population, and overall economic activity have stalled and are again lagging behind urban trends. Most important, the rural slowdown seems to be caused by factors other than the normal ups and downs in the business cycle: factors like deregulation of banking and transportation, international competition, and financial problems in U.S. agriculture. The only nonmetro counties that continued robust income growth since 1979 have been those depending on retirement, government, and trade (about a third of all rural counties).

description: Enterprise zones are a tool of regional development policy, relying on tax incentives. The objective of the paper is to answer the questions : Are enterprise zones efficient? Are they efficient if adopted by high-unemployment areas? The research applies the questions to Ohio’s enterprise zone program because of the policy debate it has generated. The net benefits from employment created in the program are compared to program costs making different assumptions about employment. I find that the net benefits of regional development can be expected to be greater than their costs. However, because of their efficiency implications, I find that it could be beneficial for high unemployment areas to adopt tax incentive policies.

description: In this paper it is shown that higher order quasiconvex functions suitable in the variational treatment of problems involving second derivatives may be extended to the space of all matrices as classical quasiconvex functions. Precisely, it is proved that a smooth strictly 2-quasiconvex function with p-growth at infinity, p>1, is the restriction to symmetric matrices of a 1-quasiconvex function with the same growth. As a consequence, lower semicontinuity results for second-order variational problems are deduced as corollaries of well-known first order theorems.

description: For thirty years, the Mid-continent Regional Science Association has published high-quality scholarly papers on topics of relevance to regional studies. First as Regional Science Perspectives and then as the Journal of Regional Analysis and Policy, contributors to the Journal, have furthered our understanding of the economic, geographic and political aspects of regional growth and change. In this paper, we compile, analyze, and summarize the Journal’s content over the past thirty years. As co-editors, we provide our perspectives of where we currently are and, to some extent, where we are going. But since the quality of a scholarly journal reflects the excellence of its contributors, it truly reflects the abilities of regional scientists to craft their own visions of regional studies.

description: Existing measurements of the angular distributions of the ground-state to ground-state transitions of the 12C(d,p)13C and 13C(p,d)12C neutron-transfer reactions have been analyzed systematically using the Johnson-Soper adiabatic and distorted-wave theories. When using a consistent set of physical inputs the deduced spectroscopic factors are consistent to within 20% for incident deuteron energies from 6 to 60 MeV. By contrast, original analyses of many of these data quoted spectroscopic factors that differed by up to a factor of five. The present analysis provides an important reference point from which to assess the requirements of future spectroscopic analyses of transfer reactions measured in inverse kinematics using rare nuclei.

description: Mean-field theory and scaling arguments are presented to model polyelectrolyte adsorption from semi-dilute solutions onto charged surfaces. Using numerical solutions of the mean-field equations, we show that adsorption exists only for highly charged polyelectrolytes in low salt solutions. Simple scaling laws for the width of the adsorbed layer and the amount of adsorbed polyelectrolyte are obtained. In other situations the polyelectrolyte chains will deplete from the surface. For fixed surface potential conditions, the salt concentration at the adsorption--depletion crossover scales as the product of the charged fraction of the polyelectrolyte f and the surface potential, while for a fixed surface charge density, σ, it scales as σ^{2/3}f^{2/3}, in agreement with single-chain results.

description: This article proposes a generalization of the Oppenheimer-Snyder model which describes a bouncing compact object. The corrections responsible for the bounce are parameterized in a general way so as to remain agnostic about the specific mechanism of singularity resolution at play. It thus develops an effective theory based on a thin shell approach, inferring generic properties of such a UV complete gravitational collapse. The main result comes in the form of a strong constraint applicable to general UV models : if the dynamics of the collapsing star exhibits a bounce, it always occurs below, or at most at the energy threshold of horizon formation, so that only an instantaneous trapping horizon may be formed while a trapped region never forms. This conclusion relies solely on i) the assumption of continuity of the induced metric across the time-like surface of the star and ii) the assumption of a classical Schwarzschild geometry describing the (vacuum) exterior of the star. In particular, it is completely independent of the choice of corrections inside the star which leads to singularity-resolution. The present model provides thus a general framework to discuss bouncing compact objects, for which the interior geometry is modeled either by a classical or a quantum bounce. In the later case, our no-go result regarding the formation of trapped region suggests that additional structure, such as the formation of an inner horizon, is needed to build consistent models of matter collapse describing black-to-white hole bounces. Indeed, such additional structure is needed to keep quantum gravity effects confined to the high curvature regime, in the deep interior region, providing thus a new challenge for current constructions of quantum black-to-white hole bounce models.

description: While there are numerous forces altering the opportunity set for rural policy deliberations in the U.S. and elsewhere [OECD 1990 & 1993] there are three of particular interest: (1) the growing documentation and awareness of the diversity of rural; (2) the growing sensitivity of the federal budget (surplus/deficit) and its perceived effect on the choices the federal government has to address national issues; and (3) the increased social-political-economic attention paid to the changing role of government in the affairs of people. These forces provide an opportunity to rethink how we might address the issues concerning the 20 percent of our population that reside in rural America.

description: Renal function-based carboplatin dosing is a well-accepted practice in pediatric oncology. However, the accuracy of this approach is only as precise as the method of kidney function measurement, most commonly involving determination of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Recent work by the Children’s Oncology Group has raised concerns over nuclear medicine-based methodologies used to calculate GFR across US clinical centers. Current practices of GFR measurement, methods used to calculate carboplatin dosage and the utility of therapeutic drug monitoring were investigated in 21 UK primary pediatric oncology treatment centers through a questionnaire-based study. Information obtained was compared to results previously published in 2008 following a similar survey. In relation to GFR measurement, the main changes observed were a shift toward a greater number of samples being taken following tracer administration and an increase in number of centers using the Brochner-Mortensen correction factor. In relation to the use of renal function assessment data to inform dosing, EDTA elimination half-life in conjunction with body weight was used to calculate carboplatin dose in 18/21 (86%) centers, with uncorrected GFR and body weight utilized in 9/21 (43%) centers. A total of 14/21 (67%) centers utilize therapeutic drug monitoring approaches to carboplatin treatment in defined patient groups including neonates and infants. Results suggest that while GFR measurement across UK centers is relatively consistent, some uncertainties remain. In addition, for patient sub-populations where there are concerns over the potential for marked inter-patient variability in carboplatin exposures, adaptive dosing approaches are now well established.

description: If the holonomy representation of an $(n+2)$--dimensional simply-connected Lorentzian manifold $(M,h)$ admits a degenerate invariant subspace its holonomy group is contained in the parabolic group $(\mathbb{R} \times SO(n))\ltimes \mathbb{R}^n$. The main ingredient of such a holonomy group is the SO(n)--projection $G:=pr_{SO(n)}(Hol_p(M,h))$ and one may ask whether it has to be a Riemannian holonomy group. In this paper we show that this is the case if $G\subset U(n/2)$ or if the irreducible acting components of $G$ are simple.

description: Repeated adverse weather events have changed the way we must approach historic preservation practices for the future. The Mid-Century Modern housing stock of Houston, TX is among the nation’s largest and has been continuously threatened by severe flooding in recent years. Between 2015-2017, approximately 30 percent of the Mid-Century Modern homes in the Meyerland neighborhood of Houston flooded multiple times, resulting in a rapid increase of teardowns and significant loss of original fabric. Out-of-date floodplain maps, inadequate government assistance, and the inevitability of future disasters leave homeowners faced with challenges regarding the treatment of their historic-age properties (50 years or older). Flood resilience and adaptation strategies such as elevating a slab-on-grade home above the base flood elevation or extensive material adaptation of historic interiors must be carefully approached to avoid a negative impact on the distinct character of the modern building typology. The research in this thesis examines resilience-based preservation approaches that are supported by three case study properties in Houston. Each of the highlighted historic-age residences has incorporated various measures of flood resilience that are consciously focused on keeping with the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic. In an effort to retain the integrity of materials, design, and workmanship of flood-vulnerable Mid-Century Modern residences, finding common ground between preservation and flood resiliency is the epitome of this discussion to properly adapt and protect the at-risk edifices in preparation for sustaining the existence of the postwar building stock in future flood events

description: The effect of columnar pins on the flux-lines melting transition in high-temperature superconductors is studied using Path Integral Monte Carlo simulations. We highlight the similarities and differences in the effects of columnar disorder on the melting transition in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$ (YBCO) and the highly anisotropic Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$ (BSCCO) at magnetic fields such that the mean separation between flux-lines is smaller than the penetration length. For pure systems, a first order transition from a flux-line solid to a liquid phase is seen as the temperature is increased. When adding columnar defects to the system, the transition temperature is not affected in both materials as long as the strength of an individual columnar defect (expressed as a flux-line defect interaction) is less than a certain threshold for a given density of randomly distributed columnar pins. This threshold strength is lower for YBCO than for BSCCO. For higher strengths the transition line is shifted for both materials towards higher temperatures, and the sharp jump in energy, characteristic of a first order transition, gives way to a smoother and gradual rise of the energy, characteristic of a second order transition. Also, when columnar defects are present, the vortex solid phase is replaced by a pinned Bose glass phase and this is manifested by a marked decrease in translational order and orientational order as measured by the appropriate structure factors. For BSCCO, we report an unusual rise of the translational order and the hexatic order just before the melting transition. No such rise is observed in YBCO.

description: We present an analytic method to determine spectral properties of the covariance matrices constructed of correlated Wishart random matrices. The method gives, in the limit of large matrices, exact analytic relations between the spectral moments and the eigenvalue densities of the covariance matrices and their estimators. The results can be used in practice to extract information about the genuine correlations from the given experimental realization of random matrices.

description: In the context of the imaginary-time formalism for a scalar thermal field theory, it is shown that the result of performing the sums over Matsubara frequencies associated with loop Feynman diagrams can be written, for some classes of diagrams, in terms of the action of a simple linear operator on the corresponding energy integrals of the Euclidean theory at T=0. In its simplest form the referred operator depends only on the number of internal propagators of the graph. More precisely, it is shown explicitly that this \emph{thermal operator representation} holds for two generic classes of diagrams, namely, the two-vertex diagram with an arbitrary number of internal propagators, and the one-loop diagram with an arbitrary number of vertices. The validity of the thermal operator representation for diagrams of more complicated topologies remains an open problem. Its correctness is shown to be equivalent to the correctness of some diagrammatic rules proposed a few years ago.

description: The in-plane infrared and visible (3 meV-3 eV) reflectivity of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d (Bi-2212) thin films is measured between 300 K and 10 K for different doping levels with unprecedented accuracy. The optical conductivity is derived through an accurate fitting procedure. We study the transfer of spectral weight from finite energy into the superfluid as the system becomes superconducting. In the over-doped regime, the superfluid develops at the expense of states lying below 60 meV, a conventional energy of the order of a few times the superconducting gap. In the underdoped regime, spectral weight is removed from up to 2 eV, far beyond any conventional scale. The intraband spectral weight change between the normal and superconducting state, if analyzed in terms of a change of kinetic energy is ~1 meV. Compared to the condensation energy, this figure addresses the issue of a kinetic energy driven mechanism.

description: In classical analyses of $γ$-ray data from IACTs, such as H.E.S.S., aperture photometry, or photon counting, is applied in a (typically circular) region of interest (RoI) encompassing the source. A key element in the analysis is to estimate the amount of background in the RoI due to residual cosmic ray-induced air showers in the data. Various standard background estimation techniques have been developed in the last decades, most of them rely on a measurement of the background from source-free regions within the observed field of view. However, in particular in the Galactic plane, source analysis and background estimation are hampered by the large number of, sometimes overlapping, $γ$-ray sources and large-scale diffuse $γ$-ray emission. For complicated fields of view, a three-dimensional (3D) likelihood analysis shows the potential to be superior to classical analysis. In this analysis technique, a spectromorphological model, consisting of one or multiple source components and a background component, is fitted to the data, resulting in a complete spectral and spatial description of the field of view. For the application to IACT data, the major challenge of such an approach is the construction of a robust background model. In this work, we apply the 3D likelihood analysis to various test data recently made public by H.E.S.S., using the open analysis frameworks ctools and Gammapy. First, we show that, when using these tools in a classical analysis approach and comparing to the proprietary H.E.S.S. analysis framework, virtually identical high-level analysis results are obtained. We then describe the construction of a generic background model from data of H.E.S.S. observations, and demonstrate that a 3D likelihood analysis using this background model yields high-level analysis results that are highly compatible with those obtained from the classical analyses.

description: A minimal supersymmetric SO(10) model with one {\bf 10} and one {\bf 126} Higgs superfield has recently been shown to predict all neutrino mixings as well as the solar mass difference squared in agreement with observations. Two assumptions critical to the predictivity and success of the model are that: (i) the superpotential includes only renormalizable terms, thereby limiting the number of free parameters and (ii) the triplet term in the type II seesaw formula for neutrino mass dominates, leading to the sum rule M_nu = c(M_d - M_e) that is responsible for large mixings. However, CKM CP phase is constrained to be in the second or third quadrant requiring a significant non-CKM component to CP violation to explain observations. We revisit this issue using type I seesaw formula for neutrino masses and obtain the following results: (i) we show that the above sumrule responsible for large mixing angles can also emerge in type I seesaw models; the detailed predictions are however not compatible with present data for any choice of CP phases. (ii) We then show that addition of a nonrenormalizable term restores compatibility with neutrino data and CKM CP violation both in type I and type II cases. We further find that (iii) the MSSM parameter tan beta > 30 in the type I model and (iv) lepton flavor violation and lepton electric dipole moments which are accessible to proposed experiments in both type I and type II models. We also discuss the unification of the gauge couplings in type I model which requires an intermediate scale.

description: Lubricant-infused surfaces in an outer liquid flow generally reduce viscous drag. However, owing to the meniscus deformation, the infused state could collapse. Here we discuss the transition between infused and collapsed states of transverse shallow grooves, considering the capillary number, liquid/lubricant viscosity ratio and aspect ratio of the groove as parameters for inducing this transition. It is found that depending on the depth of the grooves, two different scenarios occur. A collapse of lubricant-infused surfaces could happen due to a depinning of the meniscus from the front groove edge. However, for very shallow textures, the meniscus contacts the bottom wall before such a depinning could occur. Our interpretation could help avoiding this generally detrimental effect in various applications.

description: We propose new effective inter-nucleon forces with a finite-range three-body operator. The proposed forces are suitable for describing the nuclear structure properties over a wide mass number region, including the saturation point of nuclear matter. The forces are applied to microscopic calculations of $Z=N$ ($A\le 40$) nuclei and O isotopes with a method of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. We present the characteristics of the forces and discuss the importance of the finite-range three-body term.
