Use of maternal health care in Tajikistan : A bargaining framework
Creators: name: Meurs, Mieke
name: Giddings, Lisa
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Post-socialist economic declines have included declines in women’s use of maternal health care. This paper examines the use of maternal health care in Tajikistan, where such declines have occurred. The findings support previous evidence that women’s use of services depends on women’s education, household income, and proximity of services. Previous models have not specified who makes the care decision. Using education as a proxy for preferences, the findings show that women share decision- making with their spouse and the eldest female in the household. However, the data provides limited evidence that traditional proxies for bargaining power affect outcomes. The authors conclude that measures of bargaining power require tailoring to local conditions. Surveys evaluating the value of women’s assets and their services in the home, as well as questions about decision-making, will allow researchers to more effectively measure bargaining power across contexts. The paper concludes with policy recommendations.

description: Enterprises are increasingly concerned about adversaries that slowly and deliberately exploit resources over the course of months or even years. A key step in this kill chain is network reconnaissance, which has historically been active (e.g., network scans) and therefore detectable. However, new networking technology increases the possibility of passive network reconnaissance, which will be largely undetectable by defenders. In this paper, we propose Snaz, a technique that uses deceptively crafted honey traffic to confound the knowledge gained through passive network reconnaissance. We present a two-player non-zero-sum Stackelberg game model that characterizes how a defender should deploy honey traffic in the presence of an adversary who is aware of Snaz. In doing so, we demonstrate the existence of optimal defender strategies that will either dissuade an adversary from acting on the existence of real vulnerabilities observed within network traffic, or reveal the adversary's presence when it attempts to unknowingly attack an intrusion detection node.

description: The low temperature properties of fermionic solids are governed by spin exchanges. Near the melting transition, the spin-exchange energy increases as well as the relative contribution of large loops. In this paper, we check the convergence of the multi-spin exchange model and the validity of the Thouless theory near the melting of the Wigner crystal in two dimensions. Exchange energies are computed using Path Integral Monte Carlo for loop sizes up to 8, at $r_s=40$, 50 and 75. The data are then fitted to a geometric model. Then the exchange energies are extrapolated to larger sizes in order to evaluate their contributions to the leading term of the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat. These results are used to check the convergence of the multi-spin exchange model.

description: Abstract We develop a model for a representative risk-averse cotton farmer to analyze the impact of crop insurance policies (RP, YP, STAX, and SCO). The model is calibrated and numerically optimized to quantify the effects of different insurance policy combinations on input use, insurance coverage levels, premiums, and certainty equivalent. When the farmer elects only RP, the optimal coverage rate is 80%. Under RP&STAX, the optimal RP coverage rate is 70% and the STAX coverage rate is 90%. RP&STAX is the optimal policy combination based on certainty equivalents. The RP&SCO combination has the lowest impact of input use.

This simple 'unification' constraint has deep consequences, the best known of which is a natural explanation of the fractional electric charge of quarks. Here we explore the consequences of this idea for the phase diagram, in a toy model U(1)x U(1).

Tug-of-War in a Double-Nanopore System

description: We simulate a tug-of-war (TOW) scenario for a model double-stranded DNA threading through a double nanopore (DNP) system. The DNA, simultaneously captured at both pores is subject to two equal and opposite forces $-\vec{f}_L= \vec{f}_R$ (TOW), where $\vec{f}_L$ and $\vec{f}_R$ are the forces applied to the left and the right pore respectively. Even though the net force on the DNA polymer $Δ\vec{f}_{LR}=\vec{f}_L+ \vec{f}_R=0$, the mean first passage time (MFPT) $\langle τ\rangle$ depends on the magnitude of the TOW forces $ \left | f_L \right | = \left |f_R \right | = f_{LR}$. We qualitatively explain this dependence of $\langle τ\rangle$ on $f_{LR}$ from the known results for the single-pore translocation of a triblock copolymer. We demonstrate that the time of flight (TOF) of a monomer with index $m$ ($\langle τ_{LR}(m) \rangle$) from one pore to the other exhibits quasi-periodic structure commensurate with the distance between the pores $d_{LR}$. Finally, we study the case $Δ\vec{f}_{LR}=\vec{f}_L+ \vec{f}_R \ne 0$, and qualitatively reproduce the experimental result of the dependence of the MFPT on $Δ\vec{f}_{LR}$. For a moderate bias, the MFPT for the DNP system for a chain length $N$ follows the same scaling ansatz as that of for the single nanopore, $\langle τ\rangle = \left( AN^{1+ν} + η_{pore}N \right) \left(Δf_{LR}\right)^{-1}$, where $η_{pore}$ is the pore friction, which enables us to estimate $\langle τ\rangle $ for a long chain. Our Brownian dynamics simulation studies provide fundamental insights and valuable information about the details of the translocation speed obtained from $\langle τ_{LR}(m) \rangle$, and accuracy of the translation of the data obtained in the time-domain to units of genomic distances.

description: A partial wave analysis (PWA) of the of the $ηπ^0$ system (where $η\to γγ$) produced in the charge exchange reaction $π^-p\to ηπ^0n$ at an incident momentum of 18 GeV$/c$ is presented as a function of ${ηπ^0}$ invariant mass, $m_{ηπ^0}$, and momentum transfer squared, $t_{π^{-}\toηπ}$, from the incident $π^-$ to the outgoing ${ηπ^0}$ system. $S$, $P$ and $D$ waves were included in the PWA. The $a_0(980)$ and $a_2(1320)$ states are clearly observed in the overall ${ηπ^0}$ effective mass distribution as well as in the amplitudes associated with $S$ wave and $D$ waves respectively after partial wave decomposition. The observed distributions in moments (averages of spherical harmonics) were compared to the results from the PWA and the two are consistent. The distribution in $t_{π^{-}\toηπ}$ for individual $D$ waves associated with natural and unnatural parity exchange in the $t$-channel are consistent with Regge phenomenology. Of particular interest in this study is the $P$ wave since this leads to an exotic $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ for the $ηπ$ system. A $P$ wave is present in the data, however attempts to describe the mass dependence of the amplitude and phase motion with respect to the $D$ wave as a Breit-Wigner resonance are problematic. This has implications regarding the existence of a reported exotic $J^{PC} = 1^{-+}$ meson decaying into $ηπ^0$ with a mass near 1.4 GeV$/c^2$.

description: The "bootstrap determination" of the geometrical correlation functions in the two-dimensional Potts model proposed in a paper [arXiv:1607.07224] was later shown in [arXiv:1809.02191] to be incorrect, the actual spectrum of the model being considerably more complex than initially conjectured. We provide in this paper a geometrical interpretation of the four-point functions built in [arXiv:1607.07224], and explain why the results obtained by these authors, albeit incorrect, appeared so close to those of their numerical simulations of the Potts model. Our strategy is based on a cluster expansion of correlation functions in RSOS minimal models, and a subsequent numerical and algebraic analysis of the corresponding $s$-channel spectrum, in full analogy with our early work on the Potts model [arXiv:1809.02191]. Remarkable properties of the lattice amplitudes are uncovered, which explain in particular the truncation of the spectrum of [arXiv:1809.02191] to the much simpler one of the RSOS models, and which will be used in a forthcoming paper to finally determine the geometric four-point functions of the Potts model itself.

description: Commercial fertilization has long been the preferred method amongst Kentucky grain farmers. However, emerging technology of poultry litter sub-surface injection will challenge the normal fertilization methods though there have been concerns over added costs and time in the field. A resource allocation linear programming model was performed in AIMMS software comparing the two methods. Results showed that the injection method yielded higher net returns then the typical commercial fertilization despite the additional costs and field hours. This information will be useful to farm managers looking to increase profit margins once the technology hits the market.

description: Based on the scalar Helmholtz equation and the finite-difference approximation, we formulate a matrix eigenvalue problem for the calculation of propagation constants, beta(omega), in micro-structured optical fibres. The method is applied to index-guiding fibres as well as air-core photonic bandgap fibres, and in both cases qualitatively correct results are found. The strength of this approach lies in its very simple numerical implementation and its ability to find eigenmodes at a specific eigenvalue, which is of great interest, when modelling defect modes in photonic bandgap fibres.

Coarse-Graining of Microscopic Dynamics into Mesoscopic Transient Potential Model

description: We show that a mesoscopic coarse-grained dynamics model which incorporates the transient potential can be formally derived from an underlying microscopic dynamics model. As a microscopic dynamics model, we employ the overdamped Langevin equation. By utilizing the path probability and the Onsager-Machlup type action, we calculate the path probability for the coarse-grained mesoscopic degrees of freedom. The action for the mesoscopic degrees of freedom can be simplified by incorporating the transient potential. Then the dynamic equation for the mesoscopic degrees of freedom can be simply described by the Langevin equation with the transient potential (LETP). As a simple and analytically tractable approximation, we introduce additional degrees of freedom which express the state of the transient potential. Then we approximately express the dynamics of the system as the the combination of the LETP and the dynamics model for the transient potential. The resulting dynamics model has the same dynamical structure as the responsive particle dynamics (RaPiD) type models [W. J. Briels, Soft Matter 5, 4401 (2009)] and the multi-chain slip-spring type models [T. Uneyama and Y. Masubuchi, J. Chem. Phys. 137, 154902 (2012)]. As a demonstration, we apply our coarse-graining method with the LETP to a single particle dynamics in a supercooled liquid, and compare the results of the LETP with the molecular dynamics simulations and other coarse-graining models.

description: Transformerless Photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected systems benefit from improved cost, size, weight, and efficiency compared to the isolated alternatives. A drawback of the trasnsformerless PV inverters is the leakage current that flows through the parasitic capacitance formed between the PV cells and panel metal frame connected to the earth. The leakage current increases the current harmonics injected into the utility grid, the radiated and conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI), and losses. In this paper, a two-stage three-phase Filter-Clamped (FC) transformerless PV system is employed that reduces the leakage current and output current THD compared to the conventional three-phase inverters. Unlike other transformerless PV inverters, the FC inverter does not require any additional component. The FC transformerless PV inverter is analyzed mathematically and its excellence is compared to the conventional three-phase inverter through simulation results.

description: The dependence of the magnetoresistance of quasi-one-dimensional metals on the direction of the magnetic field show dips when the field is tilted at the so called magic angles determined by the structural dimensions of the materials. There is currently no accepted explanation for these magic angle effects. We present a possible explanation. Our model is based on the assumption that, the intralayer transport in the second most conducting direction has a small contribution from incoherent electrons. This incoherence is modelled by a small uncertainty in momentum perpendicular to the most conducting (chain) direction. Our model predicts the magic angles seen in interlayer transport measurements for different orientations of the field. We compare our results to predictions by other models and to experiment.

description: Universality is a powerful concept that arises from the divergence of a characteristic length scale. For condensed matter systems, this length scale is typically the correlation length, which diverges at critical points separating two different phases. Few-particle systems exhibit a simpler form of universality when the $s$-wave scattering length diverges. A prominent example of universal phenomena is the emergence of an infinite tower of three-body bound states obeying discrete scale invariance, known as the Efimov effect, which has been subject to extensive research in chemical, atomic, nuclear and particle physics. In principle, these universal phenomena can also emerge in the excitation spectrum of condensed matter systems, such as quantum magnets~[Y. Nishida, Y. Kato, and C. Batista, Nat. Phys. 9, 93 (2013)]. However, the limited tunability of the effective inter-particle interaction relative to the kinetic energy has precluded so far their observation. Here we demonstrate that a high degree of magnetic-field-induced tunability can also be achieved in quantum magnets with strong spin-orbit coupling: a two-magnon resonance condition can be achieved in Yb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ with a field of $\sim$ 13~T along the [110] direction, which leads to the formation of Efimov states in the three-magnon spectrum of this material. Raman scattering experiments can reveal the field-induced two-magnon resonance, as well as the Efimov three-magnon bound states that emerge near the resonance condition.

description: Let $Γ$ be a countable group. A classical theorem of Thorisson states that if $X$ is a standard Borel $Γ$-space and $μ$ and $ν$ are Borel probability measures on $X$ which agree on every $Γ$-invariant subset, then $μ$ and $ν$ are equidecomposable, i.e. there are Borel measures $(μ_γ)_{γ\inΓ}$ on $X$ such that $μ= \sum_γμ_γ$ and $ν= \sum_γγμ_γ$. We establish a generalization of this result to cardinal algebras.

description: Extending the theory we derived recently for HD209458b to different cases of strongly irradiated gaseous exoplanets, we have calculated the consistent evolution of the new transiting planet, OGLE-TR-56b, for its recently revised mass determination. The theory is shown to successfully reproduce the observed radius, for the proper age of the system. We also examine the dissipation of kinetic energy at the planet's internal adiabat due to atmospheric winds, and place constraints on the efficiency of this process. We show that a fraction $\sim 0.1$ -- 0.5% of the incident flux transformed into thermal energy deposited at the adiabatic level can accommodate the observed radii of both OGLE-TR-56b and HD209458b. The present theory yields quantitative predictions on the evolution of the emergent spectrum and fundamental properties of hot-jupiters. The predictions for radius, luminosity, temperature as a function of the planet's mass and orbital distance can be used as benchmarks for future detections of transit planets.

description: The association of PSR B1757-24 and the supernova remnant (SNR) G5.4-1.2 was recently questioned by Thorsett et al. (2002) on the basis of proper motion measurements of the pulsar and the "incorrect" orientation of the vector of pulsar transverse velocity [inferred from the orientation of the cometary-shaped pulsar wind nebula (PWN)]. We showed, however, that the association could be real if both objects are the remnants of an off-centred cavity supernova (SN) explosion.

description: Faber-Jackson and Tully-Fisher scaling relations for elliptical and spiral galaxy samples up to z=1 provide evidence for a differential behaviour of galaxy evolution with mass. In compliance with the downsizing scenario, the stellar populations of less massive galaxies display a stronger evolution than the more massive ones. For spirals, this may be attributed to a suppressed star formation efficiency in small dark matter halos. For ellipticals, star formation must have been negligible at least during the past ~4Gyr in all environments.

description: Our study is a national consumer survey with 612 usable observations categorizes consumers according to their preference for local products utilizing a ‘periphery’, ‘mid-level’, and ‘core’ consumer designation. The main goal of the study is to determine how these designations, together with other demographic variables, explains frequency of local products purchased in each of three market channels – farmers markets, restaurants, and grocery. Tobit regression models for each market suggest greater frequency of purchases by ‘core’ consumers over ‘mid-level’ and ‘periphery’ take place in farm markets, followed by restaurants and then grocery. Positive income effects are observed in each model, as expected, while a negative age effect is only observed in local product purchase frequency in the restaurant setting. Female consumers were observed to have lower frequency of local food products only in farm markets.

Measurement and QCD Analysis of Neutral and Charged Current Cross Sections at HERA
Creators: name: H1 Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The inclusive e^+ p single and double differential cross sections for neutral and charged current processes are measured with the H1 detector at HERA. The data were taken in 1999 and 2000 at a centre-of-mass energy of \sqrt{s} = 319 GeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 65.2 pb^-1. The cross sections are measured in the range of four-momentum transfer squared Q^2 between 100 and 30000 GeV^2 and Bjorken x between 0.0013 and 0.65. The neutral current analysis for the new e^+ p data and the earlier e^- p data taken in 1998 and 1999 is extended to small energies of the scattered electron and therefore to higher values of inelasticity y, allowing a determination of the longitudinal structure function F_L at high Q^2 (110 - 700 GeV^2). A new measurement of the structure function x F_3 is obtained using the new e^+ p and previously published e^\pm p neutral current cross section data at high Q^2. These data together with H1 low Q^2 precision data are further used to perform new next-to-leading order QCD analyses in the framework of the Standard Model to extract flavour separated parton distributions in the proton.

description: The University of British Columbia’s Fair Trade initiative has been an important aspect in their community. There are four primary divisions under UBC who serve as the ambassadors of this initiative: UBC Social Ecological Economic Development Studies (SEEDS), the UBC Bookstore, Student Housing and Hospitality Services and the Alma Mater Society (AMS). Currently, these four divisions offer an array of Fair Trade products across various outlets on their campus, while educating the local community through a variety of media outlets. Our main objective is to increase exposure, awareness, purchasing habits and knowledge of Fair Trade products within the UBC community. This could be achieved through analyzing UBC’s current practices and marketing techniques, as well as conducting primary research that would provide key information to the target market. Our recommendations are heavily reliant on our primary research data, which indicates that the target market has misconceptions of Fair Trade along with a low exposure, awareness and purchasing habits towards Fair Trade products available at UBC. We have provided key messaging techniques through various communication channels that will provide an increase in awareness, support and sales towards UBC Fair Trade products and practices within a limited budget. [Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

Predictive and invertible models of sediment geochemistry from catchment to continental scales
Creators: name: Lipp, Alexander George
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: The elemental geochemistry of sediments is studied to understand a wide range of topics in the Earth sciences, e.g., the evolution of the continents, the history of the carbon cycle, and the location of mineral deposits. A challenge underlying all these applications is that sedimentary compositions are affected by a wide range of geochemical processes such as weathering, sorting, and mixing. These competing processes make it hard to extract useful signals from a sediment's elemental geochemistry. In this dissertation I will develop two predictive and invertible models for the elemental composition of a sediment. The first model describes a fine-grained sediment in terms of the composition of its protolith and the intensity of weathering it has experienced. A novel benefit of this model is that it can `unweather' the composition of a sediment to reveal the theoretical protolith from which it derived. Using this unique approach I deduce the composition of the Archean continents from a large compilation of sedimentary rock compositions. I find the Archean exposed continents to be more silica rich than previously considered, comparable to the present day continents. The second model I develop describes fluvial sediments as a conservative mixture of the geochemistry of the sediments in their upstream drainage basin. This model is tested using a uniquely high-resolution geochemical survey covering the Cairngorms, UK, along with 67 new downstream sediment samples gathered for this dissertation. I demonstrate that the composition of these downstream sediments can be reasonably predicted assuming just conservative mixing of the upstream survey dataset. Given the success of this mixing model, I proceeed to invert it. That is, I develop a model to unmix fluvial sediments to generate a geochemical map of their source regions. I find that this unmixing model, when applied to the downstream dataset, generates upstream predictions that compare favourably to the independent survey dataset. The success of both these models suggest that sedimentary elemental chemistry, when considered on appropriate scales, is largely deterministic.

description: Oral health in historical populations has mostly been studied using morphological traits in teeth and jaw bone. However, DNA sequences from teeth, dental plaque, and chewed pitch provide hitherto inaccessible information on oral health via the composition of microorganism sequences. Here we present the metagenomic analysis of three chewed pitch pieces from Huseby Klev in Sweden that were dated to around 9890-9540 before present.
