description: The underlying components of protection motivation theory (PMT; Rogers 1983) are explored through choice experiment-based analysis within a random utility framework, to account for some of the motivational, cognitive, and affective processes that likely affect celiacs’ propensity to use a novel health-risk reducing product. Those four groups of variables that are aimed to capture threat appraisal and coping appraisal processes as part of the standard PMT (Rogers 1975, 1983; Floyd et al. 2000) are found to contribute significantly to explaining the adaptive response of celiacs. Self-assessed vulnerability and perceived product efficacy form a most significant part of respondents’ threat appraisal process. Standard socio-demographic and lifestyle characteristics were found less useful in explaining the propensity to choose an adaptive response. Estimation results support an extended PMT model that accounts for risk attitudes, as measured by the psychometric scales of Weber et al. (2002), and outcome confidence (Zakay and Tsal 1993), since perceived ambiguity regarding the effectiveness of the novel health-risk reducing device affects consumers’ outcome confidence. Results provide some support for loss aversion (Kahneman and Tversky 1991), but no support for the competence hypothesis of Heath and Tversky (1991).

description: Treewidth is an important graph invariant, relevant for both structural and algorithmic reasons. A necessary condition for a graph class to have bounded treewidth is the absence of large cliques. We study graph classes closed under taking induced subgraphs in which this condition is also sufficient, which we call $(tw,ω)$-bounded. Such graph classes are known to have useful algorithmic applications related to variants of the clique and $k$-coloring problems. We consider six well-known graph containment relations: the minor, topological minor, subgraph, induced minor, induced topological minor, and induced subgraph relations. For each of them, we give a complete characterization of the graphs $H$ for which the class of graphs excluding $H$ is $(tw,ω)$-bounded. Our results yield an infinite family of $χ$-bounded induced-minor-closed graph classes and imply that the class of $1$-perfectly orientable graphs is $(tw,ω)$-bounded, leading to linear-time algorithms for $k$-coloring $1$-perfectly orientable graphs for every fixed~$k$. This answers a question of Bre\v sar, Hartinger, Kos, and Milani{\v c} from 2018 and one of Beisegel, Chudnovsky, Gurvich, Milani{\v c}, and Servatius from 2019, respectively. We also reveal some further algorithmic implications of $(tw,ω)$-boundedness related to list $k$-coloring and clique problems. In addition, we propose a question about the complexity of the maximum weight independent set problem in $(tw,ω)$-bounded graph classes and prove that the problem is polynomial-time solvable in every class of graphs excluding a fixed star as an induced minor.

description: We present, in the framework of the canonical quantization, a class of nonlinear Schroedinger equations with a complex nonlinearity describing, in the mean field approximation, systems of collectively interacting particles. The quantum evolution equation is obtained starting from the study of a N-body classical system where the underlined nonlinear kinetics is governed by a kinetic interaction principle (KIP) recently proposed [G. Kaniadakis: Physica A 296 (2001), 405--425]. The KIP, both imposes the form of the generalized entropy associated to the classical system, and determines the Fokker-Planck equation describing the kinetic evolution of the system towards equilibrium. Keywords: Nonlinear Schroedinger equation, Nonlinear kinetics, Generalized entropy.

Primary production by microphytobenthos in Corpus Christi Bay, Texas

description: The photosynthetic rates of microphytobenthos, those microalgae associated with sediment, were measured in a shallow, turbid bay on the coast of Texas. Rates were determined using a novel technique, appropriate for well-mixed sandy sediments, based on the construction of photosynthesis-irradiance (PI) curves. Photosynthesis-irradiance curves were obtained from ¹⁴C incorporation by suspensions of sediment and were normalized to chlorophyll a. Rates of photosynthesis in situ were calculated from the PI curves and from measured vertical distributions of chlorophyll a and light within the sediment. This technique describes the photosynthetic potential of the microphytobenthos, allowing direct comparison between different strata of the sediment at a single site as well as between different sites. At each site studied, there was a homogeneity of photosynthetic response and biomass that extended well below the photic zone of the sediment, suggesting that the algae in the sediment were mixed vertically. Some evidence that resuspension into the water column is responsible for this homogeneity comes from the vertical differentiation of response and biomass that occurred when sediment was trapped in situ in acrylic cores and from observed fluxes of chlorophyll a and suspended particulate matter in the water column. Because the photosynthetic capacity of the microphytobenthos was similar to that of the algae in the water column, the microphytobenthos may have an important role in net production budgets when resuspended as well as when settled. The sediment may therefore function as a reservoir of photosynthetically-competent algae. The photosynthetic potential and biomass of the microphytobenthos varied on a small spatial scale, as did the rates of photosynthesis realized. Measured hourly rates of microphytobenthic production were 6-62 mg C·m⁻²·h⁻¹. Daily rates were 95-480 mg C·m⁻²·d⁻¹

description: This article presents a theory for the rupture of rubber. Unlike conventional cracks, ruptures in rubber travel faster than the speed of sound, and consist in two oblique shocks that meet at a point. Physical features of rubber needed for this phenomenon include Kelvin dissipation and an increase of toughness as rubber retracts. There are three levels of theoretical description: an approximate continuum theory, an exact analytical solution of a slightly simplified discrete problem, and numerical solution of realistic and fully nonlinear equations of motion.

description: A general formalism developed few years ago to model polytropic Newtonian stars with anisotropic pressure is applied to model stars for which, both, radial and tangential pressure satisfy polytropic equations of state. We obtain the corresponding Lane--Emden equation, and integrate it for a wide range of values of the parameters, thereby illustrating the effects of the pressure anisotropy on stellar objects. We calculate Chandrasekhar mass for a white dwarf and compare it with previous results. Finally, prospective applications to some astrophysical scenarios are discussed.

description: In this paper we investigate preferences for fat in milk through a structural characteristics model. The data includes information about daily purchases and social and demographic characteristics of approximately 2500 households. We find that consumers who prefer milk with a very high fat content can be reached both by information and prices, while consumers who prefer milk with a moderate to high fat share are not influenced by information, but are price sensitive. This is of great importance since these households drink a lot of milk and thereby get a considerable amount of fat through milk

Künneth Splittings and Classification of C*-Algebras with Finitely Many Ideals
Creators: name: Eilers, Søren
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Operator Algebras (math.OA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The class of AD algebras of real rank zero is classified by an exact sequence of K-groups with coefficients, equipped with certain order structures. Such a sequence is always split, and one may ask why, then, the middle group is relevant for classification. The answer is that the splitting map can not always be chosen to respect the order structures involved. This may be rephrased in terms of the ideals of the C*-algebras in question. We prove that when the C*-algebra has only finitely many ideals, a splitting map respecting these always exists. Hence AD algebras of real rank zero with finitely many ideals are classified by (classical) ordered K-theory. We also indicate how the methods generalize to the full class of ASH algebras with slow dimension growth and real rank zero.

description: We examine the effects of a proposed environmental tax in a small open developing economy, using an applied general equilibrium model linked to a household survey database. The burden of the tax, applied primarily to fossil fuels, is passed forward by non-traded industries and backward by industries selling into the world market. It causes efficiency and competitiveness losses equivalent to those of a real exchange rate appreciation, and since export industries are in general highly labor-intensive, is regressive and thus poverty-increasing. The budget-neutral use of increased tax revenues to raise spending on anti-poverty programs can offset most of the losses of poor households, but does not create new jobs. The extent of overall losses and their distribution is sensitive to some parameters, such as labor supply response, about which little is currently known in a developing-country context.
A time-domain preconditioner for the Helmholtz equation

description: Time-harmonic solutions to the wave equation can be computed in the frequency or in the time domain. In the frequency domain, one solves a discretized Helmholtz equation, while in the time domain, the periodic solutions to a discretized wave equation are sought, e.g. by simulating for a long time with a time-harmonic forcing term. Disadvantages of the time-domain method are that the solutions are affected by temporal discretization errors and that the spatial discretization cannot be freely chosen, since it is inherited from the time-domain scheme. In this work we address these issues. Given an indefinite linear system satisfying certain properties, a matrix recurrence relation is constructed, such that in the limit the exact discrete solution is obtained. By iterating a large, finite number of times, an approximate solution is obtained, similarly as in a time-domain method for the Helmholtz equation. To improve the convergence, the process is used as a preconditioner for GMRES, and the time-harmonic forcing term is multiplied by a smooth window function. The construction is applied to a compact-stencil finite-difference discretization of the Helmholtz equation, for which previously no time-domain solver was available. Advantages of the resulting solver are the relative simplicity, small memory requirement and reasonable computation times.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: The 2008 Farm Bill created the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program as a new commodity support program. We analyze actual county-level ACRE enrollment rates and a mail survey of farmers just before the ACRE sign-up deadline in Mississippi, North Carolina, Texas and Wisconsin. As discussions begin regarding the next Farm Bill, an understanding of the factors affecting ACRE participation can provide guidance as program changes are discussed. Our empirical analysis of the survey suggest that initial farmer plans to switch to ACRE in 2009 were driven by producer perceptions of whether or not ACRE would pay more than existing programs and whether or not it would provide more risk protection. On the other hand, planning to stay with existing programs in 2009 and possibly switching to ACRE later was driven more by producer risk aversion and perceptions about the effect of yield and price variability on income risk in the coming years. Membership in organizations such as National Farmers Union, National Farmers Organization, and the Grange was consistently and strongly associated with intending to stay with existing programs in 2009. Consistent state and crop effects were also found. Texas and Wisconsin producers were more likely to plan to wait and possibly switch to ACRE later and cotton growers strongly intended to stay with existing programs in 2009, likely due to the large „cost‟ of giving up the relatively larger direct payments for cotton and price expectations that made counter-cyclical payments more likely. Our empirical analysis of actual, county-level ACRE enrollment rates suggests that crop effects were again important – cotton areas had low enrollment rates, wheat areas had high enrollment rates, and counties with more diversity in crops had higher enrollment rates. In addition, regions where farmers believed yield variability would be an important source of risk also had higher enrollment. Programmatic knowledge and transactions costs also mattered for ACRE enrollment. Counties with greater participation in current farm programs had higher ACRE enrollment rates, as more growers were likely more familiar with how farm programs worked and/or received more educational efforts. Similarly, as all owners and operators must sign ACRE election forms, counties with a greater proportion of farmers renting land and/or buildings had lower enrollment rates.

Architectural identity in a globalized world : Harbourside Park building envelope and urban room, a case study
Creators: name: Guzman Torres, Sylvia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This century is immersed in a new paradigm based on an economic model called globalization, which is the suppression of free trade barriers and greater level of integration between regional economies. Having this in mind, how can architecture respect the landscape, environmental, social, cultural and historic values of a place? The research includes the acceptance of globalization experiencing new possibilities, not copying the successful result of one locality. We can make use of commercial freedom and information technology to find solutions that will enrich our world with the cultural diversity. A fundamental objective of architectural composition, based on the theory and history of the locality, since "...life is lived by inhabiting and inhabiting presupposes the locality". Christian Norbert Schulz. The challenge is to mediate the impact of globalization with elements derived indirectly from the peculiarities of a particular place: Vancouver. It would have to be inspired in the range and quality of the local architecture, the tectonic of the selected place and the topography. Identity is based on distinguishing Coal Harbor's high rises for being part of Vancouver's architecture. The harmonizing, humanizing language of architecture for a place like this has to give a motive to what is willing to be interpreted. I find that the scenery is a very important fact for this project, being Vancouver a city with a very specific setting: having the ocean, mountains, trees and wind as a fundamental part of the domestic scheme that extend as far as it wants to and makes no demands. I propose that via careful study and imagination one can develop a local idiom of architectural integrity and interest that I believe all truly world-class cities or regions possess. This study of architectural identity in Vancouver Coal Harbour high rises and urban rooms are based on the study of the area, its surroundings, the views and the way people occupy the space surrounding these buildings. My intention is to bring the identity into clearer focus.

description: This study attempts to estimate the non-market value of the environmental performance of a firm using a stock price model derived from Rosen’s hedonic price theory. Two different stock market models are developed to estimate the model, a basic firm’s stock market model and a modified Capital Assets Pricing Model (CAPM). The explanatory variables include risk factors, non risk stock characteristics, and corporate environmental policy, conduct and performance. This study uses Newsweek’s 2009 Green Ranking scores. The results show that risk factors, non-risk stock characteristics, and environmental scores variables are statistically significant in affecting stock price and equity return. The willingness to pay (WTP) are 3¢, 5¢, and 18¢, respectively for the green policy and performance score (GPPS), the reputation survey score (RSS), and the green score (GS). The four scores increase return on equity as much as 0.06%, 0.38%, 0.40%, and 2.06% respectively. A one point improvement in the three environmental scores is associated with an increase in an average firm’s value (market capitalization) of $17,840,820, $29,043,195, and $99,576,670 respectively.

description: While significant attention has been given to the decrease in property values associated with environmental contamination (i.e., stigma effects), little attention has been given to the stigma impacts on the local community as a whole. In addition, most estimates of stigma damages have been performed within a community, using distance from contamination or comparing contamination and non contamination areas in the community. In this article we determine stigma damages by analyzing property values in comparable communities and develop the rationale for estimating the community impact associated with environmental contamination that extends beyond the impact on individual property owners. These impacts were estimated for the environmental contamination from zinc smelting in the municipality of Blackwell, Oklahoma. The impacts were measured in terms of lost ad valorem tax revenue using hedonic pricing and average treatment effects.

description: Resonance states of axion-like particles were searched for via four-wave mixing by focusing two-color pulsed lasers into a quasi-vacuum. A quasi-parallel collision system that allows probing of the sub-eV mass range was realized by focusing the combined laser fields with an off-axis parabolic mirror. A 0.10 mJ/34 fs Ti:Sapphire laser pulse and a 0.14 mJ/9 ns Nd:YAG laser pulse were spatiotemporally synchronized by sharing a common optical axis and focused into the vacuum system. No significant four-wave mixing signal was observed at the vacuum pressure of $3.7 \times 10^{-5}$ Pa , thereby providing upper bounds on the coupling-mass relation by assuming exchanges of scalar and pseudoscalar fields at a 95 % confidence level in the mass range below 0.21 eV. For this search, the experimental setup was substantially upgraded so that optical components are compatible with the requirements of the high-quality vacuum system, hence enabling the pulse power to be increased. With the increased pulse power, a new kind of pressure-dependent background photons emerged in addition to the known atomic four-wave mixing process. This paper shows the pressure dependence of these background photons and how to handle them in the search.

As illustration of the effect we apply the formula to the special case where the scatterers are static, localized 2-body potentials. In this illustration both $R^2_{\rm side}$ and $R^2_{\rm out}$ are increased by an amount proportional to the square of the spatial density of scatterers and to the differential cross section. Specific numbers are used to show the expected magnitude of the rescattering effect on kaon interferometry.

description: This study investigated the magnitude of forecast improvements resulting from correction of inefficiencies in USDA cotton forecasts over 1999/00 to 2008/09 marketing years. The aspects of forecast performance included in this study were 1) bias and trends in bias, 2) correlation between forecast error and forecast level, 3) autocorrelation in forecast errors, 4) correlation in forecast revisions. Overall the results of this study demonstrated that some corrections of forecast inefficiencies, such as correction of correlation of error with forecast levels and correlation of error with previous year’s error resulted in consistent improvement of USDA cotton forecasts, while correction for correlation in forecast revisions did not benefit the forecasts. Correction for bias yielded mixed results likely because USDA has already been applying those corrections to some of the categories and thus our analysis resulted in over-correcting. The framework developed in this study can be used by USDA and other agencies to monitor and improve the performance of their forecasts.

description: The properties of the alpha+28Si and 16O+16O molecular states which are embedded in the excited states of 32S and can have an impact on the stellar reactions are investigated using the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. From the analysis of the cluster spectroscopic factors, the candidates of alpha+28Si and 16O+16O molecular states are identified close to and above the cluster threshold energies. The calculated properties of the alpha+28Si molecular states are consistent with those reported by the alpha+28Siresonant scattering experiments. On the other hand, the 16O+16O molecular state, which is predicted to be identical to the superdeformation of 32S, is inconsistent with the assignment proposed by an alpha inelastic scattering experiment. Our calculation suggests that the monopole transition from the ground state to the 16O+16O molecular state is rather weak and is not strongly excited by the alpha inelastic scattering.

description: Designing an incentive compatible auction that maximizes expected revenue is a central problem in Auction Design. While theoretical approaches to the problem have hit some limits, a recent research direction initiated by Duetting et al. (2019) consists in building neural network architectures to find optimal auctions. We propose two conceptual deviations from their approach which result in enhanced performance. First, we use recent results in theoretical auction design (Rubinstein and Weinberg, 2018) to introduce a time-independent Lagrangian. This not only circumvents the need for an expensive hyper-parameter search (as in prior work), but also provides a principled metric to compare the performance of two auctions (absent from prior work). Second, the optimization procedure in previous work uses an inner maximization loop to compute optimal misreports. We amortize this process through the introduction of an additional neural network. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by learning competitive or strictly improved auctions compared to prior work. Both results together further imply a novel formulation of Auction Design as a two-player game with stationary utility functions.

description: In the past decade, naturally occurring phytoconstituents have emerged as potential therapeutic agents and alternative to synthetic drugs. However, efficient delivery of hydrophobic phytoconstituents into the body with desired therapeutic efficacy is a key challenge for the pharmaceutical industries due to their insolubility in water and low oral bioavailability. Nanosuspension formulations have shown promises to improve the delivery of the hydrophobic molecules with simultaneously avoiding the drawbacks like carrier toxicity and scale-up issues of other nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems. In this study, we have used morin hydrate (MH), a flavonol, and developed MH nanosuspension formulation (MHNS) to improve its poor physiochemical properties and low oral bioavailability. Different stabilizers with varying concentrations were investigated for preparing nanosuspension. MHNS was characterized by DLS, TEM, FTIR, DSC, powder XRD and was evaluated for its solubility, dissolution, partition coefficient, in-vitro anticancer activity and pharmacokinetics in rats. The optimized nanosuspension formulation, with a size of <100 nm, is capable of increasing aqueous solubility, dissolution rate, and oral bioavailability of MH. Moreover, the therapeutic efficacy, in terms of cytotoxicity to human lung cancer cells, of MH was also increased after formulating into nanosuspension form.

description: This study examines the strategic issues and decisions of Producers Cooperative Oil Mill, a regional oilseed processing cooperative located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The process of strategic planning and strategy implementation in agribusiness has been the topic of numerous research studies and case studies. While cooperative firms have been the subject of case studies focusing on strategic issues, the unique aspects of strategic decisions in a cooperative firm have not been highlighted. The formulation and implementation of strategy in cooperative organizations is impacted by their business structure. This case study provides unique examples of how strategy formulation and implementation is impacted by the unique structure and values of a cooperative firm. The article is formatted such that it can be used in educational programs as three inter-related mini-case studies. Questions for students are included.

description: Semantic hashing has become a crucial component of fast similarity search in many large-scale information retrieval systems, in particular, for text data. Variational auto-encoders (VAEs) with binary latent variables as hashing codes provide state-of-the-art performance in terms of precision for document retrieval. We propose a pairwise loss function with discrete latent VAE to reward within-class similarity and between-class dissimilarity for supervised hashing. Instead of solving the optimization relying on existing biased gradient estimators, an unbiased low-variance gradient estimator is adopted to optimize the hashing function by evaluating the non-differentiable loss function over two correlated sets of binary hashing codes to control the variance of gradient estimates. This new semantic hashing framework achieves superior performance compared to the state-of-the-arts, as demonstrated by our comprehensive experiments.

description: We study the critical properties in cubic systems of antiferromagnetically coupled spin dimers near magnetic-field induced quantum phase transitions. The quantum critical points in the zero-temperature phase diagrams are determined from quantum Monte Carlo simulations. Furthermore, scaling properties of the uniform magnetization and the staggered transverse magnetization across the quantum phase transition in magnetic fields are calculated. The critical exponents are derived from Ginzburg-Landau theory. We find excellent agreement between the quantum Monte Carlo simulations and the analytical results.

Weak measurements, non-classicality and negative probability

description: This paper establishes a direct, robust and intimate connection between (i) non classicality tests for various quantum features, e.g., non-Boolean logic, quantum coherence, nonlocality, quantum entanglement, quantum discord; (ii) negative probability, and (iii) anomalous weak values. It has been shown [Adhikary et al. Eur. Phys. J. D, 74(68):68, 2020] that nonexistence of a classical joint probability scheme gives rise to sufficiency conditions for nonlocality, a nonclassical feature not restricted to quantum mechanics. The conditions for nonclassical features of quantum mechanics are obtained by employing pseudo probabilities, which are expectation values of the parent pseudo projections. The crux of the paper is that the pseudo-probabilities, which can take negative values, can be directly measured as anomalous weak values. We expect that this opens up new avenues for testing nonclassicality via weak measurements, and also gives deeper insight into negative pseudo probabilities which become measurable. A quantum game, based on violation of classical probability rule is also proposed that can be played by employing weak measurements.

description: Young children with cleft palate with or without cleft lip (CL/P) are at risk for early vocabulary and speech sound production delays. Early intervention studies have shown some promising findings to promote early speech and vocabulary development following palate repair; however, we know little about how these interventions can be used in other international contexts. This study adapted an early speech and language intervention developed in the US, Enhanced Milieu Teaching with Phonological Emphasis (EMT+PE), to the Brazilian context at the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies at the University of São Paulo-Bauru. The purpose of this study was to compare the speech and language performance of 24 toddlers with CL/P randomized into an EMT+PE intervention group and a business-as–usual (BAU) comparison group over three time points: prior to, immediately following, and three months after intervention. Results immediately following intervention indicate gains in multiple measures of language. Three months following intervention, participants showed gains in both language and speech measures.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Analogues of the prime number theorem and Merten's theorem are well-known for dynamical systems with hyperbolic behaviour. In this paper a 3-adic extension of the circle doubling map is studied. The map has a 3-adic eigendirection in which it behaves like an isometry, and the loss of hyperbolicity leads to weaker asymptotic results on orbit counting than those obtained for hyperbolic maps.
