description: Analytical and numerical solutions for the integral curves of the velocity field (streamlines) of a steady-state flow of an ideal fluid with $p = ρ$ equation of state are presented. The streamlines associated with an accelerate black hole and a rigid sphere are studied in some detail, as well as, the velocity fields of a black hole and a rigid sphere in an external dipolar field (constant acceleration field). In the latter case the dipole field is produced by an axially symmetric halo or shell of matter. For each case the fluid density is studied using contour lines. We found that the presence of acceleration is detected by these contour lines. As far as we know this is the first time that the integral curves of the velocity field for accelerate objects and related spacetimes are studied in general relativity.

description: Plausibility is a formalization of exact tests for parametric models and generalizes procedures such as Fisher's exact test. The resulting tests are based on cumulative probabilities of the probability density function and evaluate consistency with a parametric family while providing exact control of the $α$ level for finite sample size. Model comparisons are inefficient in this approach. We generalize plausibility by incorporating weighing which allows to perform model comparisons. We show that one weighing scheme is asymptotically equivalent to the likelihood ratio test (LRT) and has finite sample guarantees for the test size under the null hypothesis unlike the LRT. We confirm theoretical properties in simulations that mimic the data set of our data application. We apply the method to a retinoblastoma data set and demonstrate a parent-of-origin effect. Weighted plausibility also has applications in high-dimensional data analysis and P-values for penalized regression models can be derived. We demonstrate superior performance as compared to a data-splitting procedure in a simulation study. We apply weighted plausibility to a high-dimensional gene expression, case-control prostate cancer data set. We discuss the flexibility of the approach by relating weighted plausibility to targeted learning, the bootstrap, and sparsity selection.

description: This article develops a varying-parameter advertising model which specifies advertising parameters as a function of variables representing advertising strategies and market environments to explain the varying nature of the advertising responses. Unlike prior models, this model allows researchers to examine the sources of change in advertising effectiveness over time. The model is applied to the New York City fluid milk market for the period from January 1986 through June 1995. Results indicate that advertising strategies and market environments play important roles in determining advertising effectiveness. Particularly, demographic factors were more important than economic factors. The results also suggest that when a market is in an unfavorable or unsaturated condition, advertising generally becomes more important and effective.

description: This paper criticises the neo-classical assumptions of perfect factor markets and of complete information, which constitute central elements in labour market theory. Based on a literature review and on economic reports from transition economies, as well as developing countries and more advanced economies, this deliverable focuses on the structural impediments and imperfections that often characterise rural labour markets and that may prevent an efficient allocation of labour. According to empirical studies, transactions costs and rigidities hinder the well-functioning of labour markets and constrain labour adjustments. The paper attempts to classify the various limitations of rural labour markets from both the supply and demand side, although the distinction is not always clear-cut as some problems occur on both sides. The identification of these issues is extremely important as it allows us to highlight the inefficiencies and the failures in labour markets and to understand their impact on labour allocation. In this context, market intervention is desirable and the paper provides particular support for rural development policies such as investments in human capital. Lastly, labour institutions can play a key role in promoting the efficient functioning of labour markets, and thus it is fundamental that they are well established.

description: The Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) quantum error correcting code attracts much attention in continuous variable (CV) quantum computation and CV quantum communication due to the simplicity of error correcting routines and the high tolerance against Gaussian errors. Since the GKP code state should be regarded as a limit of physically meaningful approximate ones, various approximations have been developed until today, but explicit relations among them are still unclear. In this paper, we rigorously prove the equivalence of these approximate GKP codes with an explicit correspondence of the parameters. We also propose a standard form of the approximate code states in the position representation, which enables us to derive closed-from expressions for the Wigner functions, the inner products, and the average photon numbers in terms of the theta functions. Our results serve as fundamental tools for further analyses of fault-tolerant quantum computation and channel coding using approximate GKP codes.

description: Considerable progress has been made over the last decade in the study of the evolutionary trends of the population of galaxy clusters in the Universe. In this review we focus on observations in the X-ray band. X-ray surveys with the ROSAT satellite, supplemented by follow-up studies with ASCA and Beppo-SAX, have allowed an assessment of the evolution of the space density of clusters out to z~1, and the evolution of the physical properties of the intra-cluster medium out to z~0.5. With the advent of Chandra and Newton-XMM, and their unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution, these studies have been extended beyond redshift unity and have revealed the complexity of the thermodynamical structure of clusters. The properties of the intra-cluster gas are significantly affected by non-gravitational processes including star formation and Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) activity. Convincing evidence has emerged for modest evolution of both the bulk of the X-ray cluster population and their thermodynamical properties since redshift unity. Such an observational scenario is consistent with hierarchical models of structure formation in a flat low density universe with Omega_m=0.3 and sigma_8=0.7-0.8 for the normalization of the power spectrum. Basic methodologies for construction of X-ray-selected cluster samples are reviewed and implications of cluster evolution for cosmological models are discussed.

description: Following close on the heels of the 1980's farm financial crisis, the 1988 drought aroused concerns that hard-pressed lenders might desert farmers and other rural borrowers. The evidence suggests, however, that farm and rural credit continues to be readily extended, even in areas hit hardest by the drought, and that 1988 was a relatively good year for farm and rural lenders. The combination of drought-induced rises in crop prices, crop stocks left over from earlier years, and Federal disaster assistance seems to have kept farm losses well below what was initially feared.

Rural southern manufacturers that have automated have realized benefits to their bottom lines, generally without reducing their workforce. Most, in fact, expanded. Workers are, however, often asked to take on different tasks than with a manual operation, and many of those tasks require different skills.

description: A confined system of non-interacting electrons, subject to the combined effect of a time-dependent potential and different external chemical-potentials, is considered. The current flowing through such a system is obtained for arbitrary strengths of the modulating potential, using the adiabatic approximation in an iterative manner. A new formula is derived for the charge pumped through an un-biased system (all external chemical potentials are kept at the same value); It reproduces the Brouwer formula for a two-terminal nanostructure. The formalism presented yields the effect of the chemical potential bias on the pumped charge on one hand, and the modification of the Landauer formula (which gives the current in response to a constant chemical-potential difference) brought about by the modulating potential on the other. Corrections to the adiabatic approximation are derived and discussed.

description: My Ph.D work is on investigating the nonlinear absorption spectra of bulk semiconductors and nanocrystalline semiconductor quantum dots with the aim of understanding the limitations and potential applications of bulk semiconductors in photonic applications and of nanocrystalline semiconductor quantum dots for biological imaging. I studied two-photon absorption in these materials using three nonlinear optical techniques. First, in Chapter 2, I performed open-aperture Z-scan measurements of gallium phosphide to measure the degenerate two-photon absorption coefficient and the anisotropy parameter. However, as this technique required high light intensities, self-focusing and free-carrier absorption can complicate analysis. This lead to the development of a pump-probe modulation spectroscopy experiment in Chapter 3, which I performed on gallium phosphide, gallium arsenide, and silicon. This allowed complete characterization of the degenerate imaginary part of the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility tensor and analysis of the response dynamics which was crucial for rejection of anomalous cases due to non-instantaneous responses, phase gratings, or other effects. In Chapter 4, I measured the size-dependence of two-photon excited photoluminescence in nanocrystalline silicon quantum dots at a single excitation wavelength by calibrating to one-photon excited photoluminescence. My collaborators also demonstrated biological imaging of mouse cells using one- and two-photon excited photoluminescence confocal microscopy with nanocrystalline silicon quantum dots encapsulated in liposomes. Lastly, in Chapter 5 I measured two-photon excited photoluminescence spectra of nanocrystalline silicon quantum dots of two different sizes calibrated to a reference standard. I also simulated their efficiency at two-photon excited photoluminescence imaging in biological tissues to compare to other quantum dots and molecular fluorophores to aid in the selection and optimization of biological imaging agents. I measured nonlinear optical properties not previously reported in these materials and developed the experiments required to make these measurements during the course of these projects. This work opens the door to further investigation, especially in semiconductor quantum dots and other low-dimensional structures and their wide-ranging applications.

description: The response of mesoscopic superconductors to an ac magnetic field is numerically investigated on the basis of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations (TDGL). We study the dependence with frequency $ω$ and dc magnetic field $H_{dc}$ of the linear ac susceptibility $χ(H_{dc}, ω)$ in square samples with dimensions of the order of the London penetration depth. At $H_{dc}=0$ the behavior of $χ$ as a function of $ω$ agrees very well with the two fluid model, and the imaginary part of the ac susceptibility, $χ"(ω)$, shows a dissipative a maximum at the frequency $ν_o=c^2/(4πσλ^2)$. In the presence of a magnetic field a second dissipation maximum appears at a frequency $ω_p\llν_0$. The most interesting behavior of mesoscopic superconductors can be observed in the $χ(H_{dc})$ curves obtained at a fixed frequency. At a fixed number of vortices, $χ"(H_{dc})$ continuously increases with increasing $H_{dc}$. We observe that the dissipation reaches a maximum for magnetic fields right below the vortex penetration fields. Then, after each vortex penetration event, there is a sudden suppression of the ac losses, showing discontinuities in $χ"(H_{dc})$ at several values of $H_{dc}$. We show that these discontinuities are typical of the mesoscopic scale and disappear in macroscopic samples, which have a continuos behavior of $χ(H_{dc})$. We argue that these discontinuities in $χ(H_{dc})$ are due to the effect of {\it nascent vortices} which cause a large variation of the amplitude of the order parameter near the surface before the entrance of vortices.

description: Life is a collection of molecules. It often seems to behave in a highly complex manner; nonetheless, we hope to dissect them using physics and mathematics. In this thesis, we explore some of the physics and mathematical models to describe the biological process in a cell, mainly focused on molecular machines that consume energy from chemical reactions and convert it into mechanical work. We also discuss an attempt to find general principles among various phases found in biomolecular condensates. First in chapter 1, we present the biological perspectives of some of the molecular motors, which will be the subjects of the analysis in this thesis. We enumerate the hydrolysis and ATPase cycle rate for various biological motors and surmise a connection to the underlying mechanism of the motors: Power stroke and Brownian ratchet. Next, an introduction to kinetic models and concomitant non-equilibrium thermodynamics for molecular machines are given. A formalism of Information thermodynamics, which we apply to allosteric communication for molecular motors (chapter 3), is introduced. Chapter 2 introduces the possibly simplest model, which can recapitulate the transport of the cargos by kinesin-1 (Kin1). We derive the expression of the velocity distribution for Kin1. We propose that examination of the randomness parameter is valuable information to infer the chemo-mechanical kinetics involving the stepping mechanism for Kin1. The subsequent chapter (chapter 3) analyzes the coordination in the chemo-mechanical cycle for Kin1, so-called gating, from non-equilibrium thermodynamics and information-theoretical perspective. The analysis illustrates that the stall load of Kin1 may be stemmed from the gating mechanism. In chapter 4, we turn the subject into the genome organization problem. We propose a simple theoretical model to explain the recently discovered loop extrusion process by a novel type of molecular motors: Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) proteins. Theoretical work for SMC proteins is scarce. Thus, our work constitutes one of the crucial pieces in the field. Finally, in chapter 5, we explore the protein aggregation and liquid-liquid phase separation in a cell. We characterize liquid droplets and other form aggregates (crystal, amorphous solid, etc.) using molecular dynamics simulation. We see sequence and rigidity of the single polymer significantly affect the resulting phase and morphology of the aggregates. This attempts to elucidate the general instruction for bio-molecules resulting in various morphologies depending on the environmental conditions such as pH in the solution.

description: In high-dimensional data analysis, bi-level sparsity is often assumed when covariates function group-wisely and sparsity can appear either at the group level or within certain groups. In such cases, an ideal model should be able to encourage the bi-level variable selection consistently. Bi-level variable selection has become even more challenging when data have heavy-tailed distribution or outliers exist in random errors and covariates. In this paper, we study a framework of high-dimensional M-estimation for bi-level variable selection. This framework encourages bi-level sparsity through a computationally efficient two-stage procedure. In theory, we provide sufficient conditions under which our two-stage penalized M-estimator possesses simultaneous local estimation consistency and the bi-level variable selection consistency if certain nonconvex penalty functions are used at the group level. Both our simulation studies and real data analysis demonstrate satisfactory finite sample performance of the proposed estimators under different irregular settings.

description: Locating the source of odor in a turbulent environment - a common behavior for living organisms - is non-trivial because of the random nature of mixing. Here we analyze the statistical physics aspects of the problem and propose an efficient strategy for olfactory search which can work in turbulent plumes. The algorithm combines the maximum likelihood inference of the source position with an active search. Our approach provides the theoretical basis for the design of olfactory robots and the quantitative tools for the analysis of the observed olfactory search behavior of living creatures (e.g. odor modulated optomotor anemotaxis of moth)

description: (Abridged) We consider the expansion of an initially self-gravitating, static, singular, isothermal cloud core. For t>0, the gas is ionized and heated to a higher uniform temperature by the formation of a luminous, but massless, star in its center. The approximation that the mass and gravity of the central star is negligible for the subsequent motion of the HII region holds for distances much greater than about 100 AU and for the massive cloud cores that give rise to high-mass stars. If the initial ionization and heating is approximated to occur instantaneously at t=0, then the subsequent flow (for r >> 100 AU) caused by the resulting imbalance between self-gravity and thermal pressure is self-similar. Because of the steep density profile, pressure gradients produce a shock front that travels into the cloud, accelerating the gas to supersonic velocities in what has been called the ``champagne phase.'' We then study the self-similar solutions of the expansion of HII regions embedded in molecular clouds characterized by more general power-law density distributions with exponent 3/2 < n < 3. In these cases, the shock velocity is an increasing function of the exponent n, and diverges as n tends to 3. We show that this happens because the model includes an origin, where the pressure driving the shock diverges because the enclosed heated mass is infinite. Our results imply that the continued photoevaporation of massive reservoirs of neutral gas (e.g., surrounding disks and/or globules) nearby to the embedded ionizing source is required in order to maintain over a significant timescale the emission measure observed in champagne flows.

description: With some modifications, the arguments for rephasing invariance can be used to establish permutation symmetry for the standard model. The laws of evolution of physical variables, which transform as tensors under permutation, are found to obey the symmetry, explicitly. We also propose to use a set of four mixing parameters, with unique properties, which may serve to characterize flavor mixing.

description: We present the first detection of mass dependent galactic spin alignments with local cosmic filaments with over 2 sigma confidence using IFS kinematics. The 3D network of cosmic filaments is reconstructed on Mpc scales across GAMA fields using the cosmic web extractor DisPerSe. We assign field galaxies from the SAMI survey to their nearest filament segment in 3D and estimate the degree of alignment between SAMI galaxies kinematic spin axis and their nearest filament in projection. Low-mass galaxies align their spin with their nearest filament while higher mass counterparts are more likely to display an orthogonal orientation. The stellar transition mass from the first trend to the second is bracketed between log stellar masses 10.4 and 10.9, with hints of an increase with filament scale. Consistent signals are found in the HorizonAGN cosmological hydrodynamic simulation. This supports a scenario of early angular momentum build-up in vorticity rich quadrants around filaments at low stellar mass followed by progressive flip of spins orthogonal to the cosmic filaments through mergers at high stellar mass. Conversely, we show that dark-matter only simulations post-processed with a semi-analytic model treatment of galaxy formation struggles to reproduce this alignment signal. This suggests that gas physics is key in enhancing the galaxy-filament alignment.

description: An 1d model with time-dependent random hopping is proposed to describe charge transport in DNA. It admits to investigate both diffusion of electrons and their tunneling between different sites in DNA. The tunneling appears to be strongly temperature-dependent. Observations of a strong (exponential) as well as a weak distance dependence of the charge transfer in DNA can be explained in the framework of our model.

description: Customer's trust in vendors' reputation is a key factor that facilitates economic transactions in e-commerce platforms. Although the trust-sales relationship is assumed robust and consistent, its empirical evidence remains neglected for Latin American countries. This work aims to provide a data-driven comprehensive framework for extracting valuable knowledge from public data available in the leading Latin American e-commerce platform with commercial operations in 18 countries. Only Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay, and Venezuela showed the highest trust indexes among all nations analyzed. The trust-sales relationship was statistically inconsistent across nations but worked as the most important predictor of sales, followed by purchase intention and price.

description: Measuring consumer response to gasoline price changes is a fundamental issue in the design and regulation of environmental externalities. In this paper, we document the importance of accounting for heterogeneity in consumer utilization of durable goods in explaining the apparent undervaluation of future fuel costs. We develop a Bayesian method within the context of heterogeneous discrete choice model paired with pricing equations derived from Bertrand competition to estimate heterogeneous demand elasticity for gasoline price changes, and use our results to conduct counterfactual analyses of alternative tax policies. We find that accounting for heterogeneity in utilization and other dimensions all but eliminates undervaluation of future operating costs. Results from our counterfactual analyses imply that gasoline taxes lead to welfare increases that are 20% higher than those obtained under a fuel economy regime.
