description: We calculate the double differential distributions and distributions in recoil momenta for the high energy non-relativistic double photoionization of helium. We show that the results of recent experiments is the pioneering experimental manifestation of the quasifree mechanism for the double photoionization, predicted long ago in our papers. This mechanism provides a surplus in distribution over the recoil momenta at small values of the latter, corresponding to nearly "back-to-back" emission of the electrons. Also in agreement with previous analysis the surplus is due to the quadrupole terms of the photon-electron interaction. We present the characteristic angular distribution for the "back-to-back" electron emission. The confirmation of the quasifree mechanism opens a new area of exiting experiments, which are expected to increase our understanding of the electron dynamics and of the bound states structure. The results of this Letter along with the recent experiments open a new field for studies of two-electron ionization not only by photons but by other projectiles, e.g. by fast electrons or heavy ions.

description: The paper investigates the determinants of urban land use for the city of Recife, Brazil. Using microdata on 98,198 individual parcels and a conditionally parametric spatial multinomial logit model, it is shown that there are considerable spatial heterogeneities in the studied intra-urban context. Additionally, some general patterns of land use are identified: transport infrastructure tends to attract commercial activities, while natural amenities tend to encourage residential development. Finally, on average, the probability of unimproved lots is greater in the immediate vicinity of the historic city centre, and verticalization is greater in areas near the city centre and natural amenities.
Foreign direct investment and keiretsu: Rethinking US and Japanese policy

description: This paper focuses on two issues. First, a reexamination of the data on the level of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Japan suggests that foreign firms sell five to six times more in Japan than is commonly believed. Previous studies severely underestimated the stock of FDI in Japan due to poor data. Second, after finding that even after adjusting for various factors the level of FDI in Japan is still low, the paper explores explanations for this phenomenon. A second main conclusion is that government tax and financial policy continues to inhibit foreign takeovers through the promotion of stable shareholding.

Global superfluid phase diagram of three component fermions with magnetic ordering

description: We investigate a three component fermion mixture in the presence of weak attractive interactions. We use a combination of the equation of motion and the Gaussian variational mean-field approaches, which both allow for simultaneous superfluid and magnetic ordering in an unbiased way, and capture the interplay between the two order parameters. This interplay significantly modifies the phase diagram, especially the superfluid-normal phase boundaries. In the close vicinity of the critical temperature and for small chemical potential imbalances, strong particle-hole symmetry breaking leads to a phase diagram similar to the one predicted by Cherng et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 130406 (2007)], however, the overall phase diagram is markedly different: new chemical potential-driven first and second order transitions and triple points emerge as well as more exotic second order multicritical points, and bicritical lines with O(2,2) symmetry. We identify the terms which are necessary to capture this complex phase diagram in a Ginzburg-Landau approach, and determine the corresponding coefficients.

description: Centrally located within the Republic is the notion that an ideal city-state has the ability to create ideal citizens because the city, itself, was created as an ideal form that would in turn represent a static, ideal foundation of knowledge for its citizens. This early notion of utopianism took hold of the imaginations of urban planners such as Frederick Law Olmsted and, although the current practice of urban planning eschews this historical influence, I will argue that a credible alternative to the practice of conceiving of, and planning the city based upon utopian ideals has not occurred. This argument will be based upon an analysis of Plato's Republic, early urban reform movements such as The Garden City, and The City Beautiful Movement, and current urban planning methodologies that employ long- range visioning as the basis for creating blueprints for the future, such as those found within the ImagineCALGARY project.

The place of the tyrant in Machiavelli's political thought and the literary genre of The prince

description: "My project at the Italian Academy concerns how to create good citizens in a multicultural society through a reform of education. In my previous paper I tried to show how an Aristotelian approach seems to be the most promising model of education. The typical objection to such an approach is that it “idealizes” too much the real situation of human beings and their ‘nature,’ which has a lot of negative features neglected by the neoAristotelians. In this paper I aim to show how Machiavelli’s political writings aim at permanently educate the real statesman, teaching him the primary duty of responsibility and the virtue of prudence. Machiavelli, the champion of political realism, becomes thus an ally of Aristotle in educating good citizens."

description: Sustainability and sprawl in cities has become a topic of discussion in the literature in the past couple of decades. Sprawl is described as having the characteristics of unsustainable design and critics are calling for changes to be made to our current paradigms of urban development. Recent research has shown that Smart Growth and New Urbanism hold promise and are widely accepted in planning literature, however implementation is lacking. In addition to accreditation, the required and optional criteria of LEED ND provide a comprehensive framework of indicators and design guidelines for the implementation of Smart Growth and New Urbanism principles in new development. Using the LEED ND rating system, this project assessed the end-result designs for the neighbourhood of Williamstown in Airdrie, Alberta. The intent was to apply the rating system in order to understand the potential of the LEED ND framework of indicators to guide future sustainable development in Airdrie. While the results of the analysis show that Williamstown would not be eligible to receive accreditation, it also highlighted the emphasis of the rating criteria on projects that are located on infill sites that are surrounded by compact, walkable, and diverse development. The results of this project have shown that there are few barriers to implementing the requirements of LEED ND in the City of Airdrie. However for successful implementation, the Airdrie City Plan must take a more active role in supporting the direct objectives of LEED ND in order to obtain results that meet the benchmarks.

Bill Clark and Hugh Patrick gave us the topic of today, “Can Japan’s ailing banking system be cured?”. To speak about it is obviously a daunting task not just for me but also for any policy makers in Japan. I suspect they have been declined by many Japanese government officials before me. While I would be proud to be the speaker of the last resort -- although I am not so sure if the last resort is such a wonderful thing -- Hugh Patrick told me I was actually their first choice."
Bankruptcy And Expected Utility Maximizatiion
Creators: name: Dutta, Prajit Kumar
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1992
Subjects: Economics

description: This paper introduces a utility formulation to the well-known gambler's ruin problem. An agent who maximizes lifetime expected utility has to tradeoff short-term utility against longer-term survival prospects. The optimal tradeoff is established by way of characterizing the agents' value and optimal policy functions. Further, the scope of expected utility maximization is examined by contrasting the bankruptcy probabilities of an agent employing such a criterion with those of an agent who is more directly interested in survival. Economic applications of the theory are also discussed.

description: Given some assumptions it is possible to derive the most general post-general relativistic theory of gravity for the distant field of a point mass. The force law derived from this theory contains a Rindler term in addition to well-known contributions, a Schwarzschild mass and a cosmological constant. The same force law recently was confronted with solar system precision data. The Rindler force, if present in Nature, has intriguing consequences for gravity at large distances. In particular, the Rindler force is capable of explaining about 10% of the Pioneer anomaly and simultaneously ameliorates the shape of galactic rotation curves.

description: We propose a way to incorporate the effect of a specific class of feedback processes into stochastic thermodynamics. These "Maxwell demon" feedbacks do not affect the system energetics but only the energy barriers between the system states (in a way which depends on the system states). They are thus of a purely informational nature. We show that the resulting formalism can be applied to study the thermodynamic effect of a feedback process acting on electron transfers through a junction.

Forecasting skewness in stock returns: Evidence from firm-level data in Tokyo markets
Creators: name: Fujii, Mariko
name: Takaoka, Makoto
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2005
Subjects: Commerce

description: Although it is well known that the market rate of return tends to show negative skewness, we find that the return distribution of individual stocks has shown positive skewness in the two principal Tokyo markets from 1980 to 2001. This is consistent with the results reported for the US market. Positive skewness in the returns is more evident for smaller firms. From our analysis of pooled cross-section data of individual stocks from 1990 to 2001, we find that there is clear evidence of the predictive power in the information up until the current period for the skewness in the following period. Specifically, a higher volatility and skewness in the return distribution of the current period is followed by a higher value of skewness in the following period. Also, the up trends in own returns in the preceding periods may explain the rather negatively skewed return distribution in the following period. Hong and Stein's (2003) model predicts a relation between turnover and skewness. For 1990 to 2001, negative relation to the skewness has been found to hold for smaller cap firms with past de-trended turnover. Furthermore, after the regulatory change in short-selling enacted in February 2002, we find more supportive evidence that high trend-adjusted turnover predicts more negative skewness in returns. Overall, our empirical evidence suggests that conditional skewness is partly explained by previous de-trended trading proxies, however, the results are not conclusive for the data in Tokyo markets.

description: With communities facing unprecedented challenges of sustainability, there is a need for the planning profession to redefine the terms of public participation. This work explores the use of participation; directly connecting people, politicians and the broader community to create sustainable spaces. This MDP identifies opportunities to adopt robust guidelines and recommendations for a participatory public involvement process for new communities in the Calgary context. The recommendations will help to redefine participatory processes in Calgary to enhance sustainability in communities. It will argue for changing the conventional way of planning new communities by engaging the public more rigorously in creating sustainability in new communities. This work argues that the use of public participation has the potential of creating sustainable developments and how the public can complement the planning process. This MDP begins with a discussion of Communicative Action and Dialogical Planning approach to planning and legitimizes public participation as a tool for community planning. It reviews and examines two best-practice case studies in Freiburg and Calgary, discussing methodologies, sustainability, and details of the participatory processes used. The studies aid in understanding how participation and sustainability are connected. Lessons from both case studies are developed into practical recommendations for the Calgary context to be utilized as a strategy to improve the participation process. The recommendations speak to the use of independent organizations helping to facilitate the planning process and the incorporation of education for all participants. The recommendations conclude with a discussion of integrating the independent organizations with the collaborative education sessions, and how political will is essential to implement meaning participation. This work argues that the use of participation has the potential of creating sustainable communities to achieve success in the planning of a community's future. Keywords Public Participation, Collaboration, Engagement, Communicative Action, Freiburg, Calgary, Sustainable Communities.

Domestic aviation in Japan: Responding to market forces amid regulatory constraints

description: Japan's airline industry appears to be thoroughly regulated by law and ministerial directive. In actual practice, however, there is much less regulation than first meets the eye and more competition than often is acknowledged. Laws not only restrict severely the entry of new carriers but also the expansion of service by existing carriers. Yet, at least two competitors vie for traffic on the 59 highest-volume routes. Despite a formally regulated fare structure, market forces strongly influence domestic passenger fares. Japanese carriers must contend for international business against the world's lowest-cost airlines by offering competing fares. In domestic cargo markets, too, the airlines compete with one another and with other modes of transportation - mainly railroads. Among international air shippers, the 40 or so foreign carriers flying into Japan offer substantial price and service competition; consequently, the price of cargo shipments results from negotiations between shippers and the airlines. Thus, while not nearly the open aviation market that prevails in the United States, the air services industry in Japan is more competitive than a surface reading of the regulatory framework might lead one to expect. The formal level of regulation has been reduced slowly over the past 10 years, partly in response to global trends in airline deregulation. In addition, aviation technology and the development of domestic demand have had major effects on the process. The main objective barrier to thorough deregulation - at least in the minds of most Japanese industry participants, government and established companies - is serious capacity constraints at Japan's major airports.

description: In this work we present for the first time an application of the Pareto approach to the modelling of the excesses of galaxy clusters over high-mass thresholds. The distribution of those excesses can be described by the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD), which is closely related to the generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution. After introducing the formalism, we study the impact of different thresholds and redshift ranges on the distributions, as well as the influence of the survey area on the mean excess above a given mass threshold. We also show that both the GPD and the GEV approach lead to identical results for rare, thus high-mass and high-redshift, clusters. As an example, we apply the Pareto approach to ACT-CL J0102-4915 and SPT-CL J2106-5844 and derive the respective cumulative distribution functions of the exceedance over different mass thresholds. We also study the possibility to use the GPD as a cosmological probe. Since in the maximum likelihood estimation of the distribution parameters all the information from clusters above the mass threshold is used, the GPD might offer an interesting alternative to GEV-based methods that use only the maxima in patches. When comparing the accuracy with which the parameters can be estimated, it turns out that the patch-based modelling of maxima is superior to the Pareto approach. In an ideal case, the GEV approach is capable to estimate the location parameter with a percent level precision for less than 100 patches. This result makes the GEV based approach potentially also interesting for cluster surveys with a smaller area.

description:
Grandmothers and fathers are key influencers of maternal and child nutrition and are increasingly included in interventions. Yet, there is limited research exploring their experiences participating in interventions. This study reports on findings from a qualitative process evaluation of a quasi-experimental study that we conducted with grandmother and father peer dialogue groups to support maternal, infant and young child feeding practices in western Kenya. The aim was to explore grandmother and father experiences participating in interventions and how participation influences care and feeding practices. Grandmother and father peer educators received training to facilitate discussions about maternal and child nutrition, HIV and infant feeding, family communication, and family members' roles. Father peer educators also received training on gender inequities and power dynamics. In the original quasi-experimental study, the intervention was associated with increased social support and improvements in some complementary feeding practices. The process evaluation explored participants' experiences and how participation influenced infant care and feeding practices. We used Atlas.ti to thematically analyse data from 18 focus group discussions. The focus group discussions revealed that grandmothers and fathers valued their groups, the topics discussed and what they learned. Grandmothers reported improved infant feeding and hygiene practices, and fathers reported increased involvement in child care and feeding and helping with household tasks. Both described improved relationships with daughters-in-law or wives. This study highlights the importance of engaging influential family members to support child nutrition and identifies factors to build cohesion among group members, by building on grandmothers' roles as advisors and expanding fathers' roles in nutrition through gender transformative activities.

Walking the talk? Models of disability and discourse in employment policy for Canadians with disabilities
Creators: name: Vellacott, John Wright
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The research undertaken in this thesis facilitated an examination of the dominant discourses contained in several disability policy documents, the ideological underpinnings driving the discourses and the influence of particular models of disability. This investigation demonstrated that there were in fact two dominant discourses common to all the policy texts, namely a discourse of Independence and a discourse of Employability. These evolved from a status of being overtly referenced within the policy texts to becoming an underlying “given” or “truth”. While the language of various models of disability were used in the texts, there is little evidence to suggest that any particular model had any singular influence. Rather, the use of the language of various models of disability appeared to be “tactical” in nature, and used simply to enhance the legitimacy of the particular discourses or arguments being presented. As the texts appeared to be grounded within a neoliberal policy orientation, the use of the language of the models, particularly the social model of disability, was of value in providing legitimacy to concepts that are in many ways antithetical to some of the core precepts of the models. Lastly, the analysis suggests that the actors with the greatest degree of power and influence during the drafting and implementation of the policy texts remained government officials, and the influence of people with disabilities or their advocates was at best subordinate, or in many cases nonexistent. Through this type of research, policy researchers, advocates and impacted individuals with disabilities who endure the effects of policy, have powerful tools with which to expose these dominant discourses. Often these dominant discourses have evolved into unspoken and taken for granted "truths". Foregrounding such discourses can facilitate the development of counter discourses or strategies to negate or at least minimize the negative impacts that result from policy and program decisions grounded in these discourses. Such a capacity could go a long way in leveling the playing field, and at least to some degree equalize the power differential between government and “others” when presented with skillfully written and often dissembling policy texts.

description: The study presented in this paper is part of our research aimed at improving the search functionalities of current Digital Libraries using formal narratives. Narratives are intended as sequences of events. We present the results of an initial experiment to detect and extract implicit events from the Wikidata knowledge base in order to construct a narrative in a semi-automatic way. Wikidata contains many historical entities, but comparably few events. The reason is that most events in Wikidata are represented in an implicit way, e.g. by listing a date of birth instead of having an event of type “birth”. For this reason, we decided to generate what we call the Wikidata Event Graph (WEG), i.e. the graph of implicit events found in Wikidata. We performed an initial experiment taking as case study the narrative of the life of Italian poet Dante Alighieri. Only one event of the life of Dante is explicitly represented in Wikidata as instance of the class Q1190554 Occurrence. Using the WEG, we were able to automatically detect 31 more events of Dante’s life that were present in Wikidata in an implicit way.

description: With increasing globalization population growth, and urbanization comes an emerging need for urban planners to place increasing importance on quality natural and built spaces within the public realm in order to ensure the social sustainability of human settlements. Community gardens can address some of the problems associated with urbanization and its impacts on the quality of the urban environment, however although the benefits of community gardens are widely recognized, community gardens have yet to be incorporated into municipal planning and policy frameworks and are given no legislative or financial support from municipal governments in Calgary. Without proper urban planning that incorporates high quality public realm, green and open spaces, population growth, along with the redevelopment of established communities, poses both challenges and opportunities for Calgary's established communities. The goal of this study was to determine what policy and planning recommendations and incentives would encourage the expansion of community gardens in established communities in Calgary. This research explores the contributions of community gardens to community development, citizen engagement, and sense of place, articulates the need for increased community garden development, identifies the barriers to expanding community gardens, and makes planning and policy recommendations to support the expansion of community gardens in established communities in Calgary. Primary and secondary research was conducted through literature review, case study, participant interviews, and key informant interviews. Drawing on the experience of Vancouver and Seattle, the MOP provides recommendations for a set of regulatory measures to encourage further development of community gardens in Calgary. Research findings document a range of initiatives, incentives, and policies to promote, encourage and enable the successful growth of community gardens. Effective implementation necessarily depends on community-led grassroots efforts, complemented with balanced municipal support to expand the benefits of community gardens to a larger audience.

description: We explore the coherent destruction of tunneling (CDT) in a lattice array under selective in-phase harmonic modulations, in which some selected lattice sites are driven by in-phase harmonic oscillating fields and other lattice sites are undriven. Due to the occurrence of CDT, if the driving amplitude $A$ and the driving frequency $ω$ are tuned to satisfy the zeroth-order Bessel function $J_0(A/ω)=0$, the driven lattice sites are approximately decoupled with the undriven lattice sites. The CDT even takes place in lattice systems with high-order couplings between non-nearest lattice sites. By using the CDT, we propose a scheme for realizing directed transport of a single particle. It is possible to observe the CDT in the engineered optical waveguide array, which provides a new opportunity for controlling light propagation and designing switch-like couplers.

Deep Learning for Recommender System: Toward Structures and Sequences
Creators: name: Liu, Zhiwei
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022

description: Recommender systems are nowadays everywhere to help users to explore online new resources, items, contents and etc. Along the booming of recommender systems, it is the urgent desire to develop applicable algorithms and frameworks to enhance the performance of recommendation results, where deep learning methods serve the best.
In this thesis, I investigate two type of information that existing recommender systems are able to leverage, \textit{i.e.} the structural and sequential information. The former is focused in the interactions between users and items, where we construct graphs to characterize the underlying patterns. The latter incorporate interactions in chronological orders, which can thus reflect their sequential correlations. I present two papers associated with the structural information, including how to design spectral graph convolution for cross-domain recommendation and how to resolve basket recommendation with graph neural networks. Moreover, I introduce two papers associated with the sequential information, including augmenting sequential recommendation via pseudo-prior items and contrastive self-supervised learning for sequential recommendation.
Additionally, I discuss how to simultaneously leverage the structure information and sequential information via the temporal collaborative transformer over a temporal graph. Finally, I conclude this thesis by summarizing deep learning techniques towards structures and sequences.

description: "At one time Lower Sixth Avenue was one of the most fashionable retail centers in Manhattan, but the area collapsed as a retail center when the affluent moved further uptown and to the suburbs. Today, Sixth Avenue is in the midst of a rapid turnaround, as reported in the Sunday New York Times by Claudia Deutsch. How can we account for the revitalization of this depressed area in the middle of a recession?"

description: The BaBar Collaboration has recently reported products of branching fractions that include $B$ meson semileptonic decays into final states with charged and neutral $D_{1}(2420)$ and $D_{2}^{\ast}(2460)$, two narrow orbitally excited charmed mesons. We evaluate these branching fractions, together with those concerning $D_{0}^{\ast}(2400)$ and $D_{1}'(2430)$ mesons, within the framework of a constituent quark model. The calculation is performed in two steps, one of which involves a semileptonic decay and the other is mediated by a strong process. Our results are in agreement with the experimental data. We also extend the study to semileptonic decays of $B_{s}$ into orbitally excited charmed-strange mesons, providing predictions to the possible measurements to be carried out at LHC.

The Effect of Household Characteristics on Household-Specific Inflation Rates: An Application to Trends in Child Poverty and Educational Real Wage Differentials
Creators: name: Miller, Cynthia K.

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1994
Subjects: Economics

description: This paper investigates the effect demographic-specific inflation rates on the measured well being of two population groups - families with and without children, and families with different educational attainment. Out major findings are (1) families with children generally experienced lower inflation rates between 1969 and 1985 than did families without children, yet calculated trends in child poverty are not significantly affected by the use of group specific price indexes, and (2) inflation rates decreased monotonically with the education of the household head throughout this period, so that real education wage differentials (calculated using education specific price indexes) widened more than nominal education wage differentials. This last finding indicates that the relative economic well being of the less educated has declined by a greater extent than would be inferred from trends in nominal education wage differentials.
Japanese auto parts supply networks and the governance of interfirm exchange

description: This paper examines purchasing transactions and ownership ties between 11 Japanese automakers and 237 suppliers. Although automakers' equity stakes in suppliers are highly symbolic, they play an economic role as well. Automakers hold shares of suppliers that dedicate to them a large percentage of output, suppliers from which they purchase many different parts, suppliers of difficult to manufacture parts, and small suppliers, indicating that ownership stakes in suppliers are credible commitments facilitating relationship-specific investments. Consistent with a transaction cost interpretation but in contrast to predictions of resource dependence theory, the total number of suppliers and the degree of an automaker's internal production of a part are not related to ownership stakes. I conclude that embeddedness and transaction cost explanations are complementary: embedded ties can serve as a transaction-cost minimizing governance structure. I further conclude that buyer-supplier relationships in the Japanese automotive industry reflect a logic of commitment rather than a logic of control and exploitation.

description: We initiate the study of how to extend the correspondence between dimer models and (0+1)-dimensional cluster integrable systems to (1+1) and (2+1)-dimensional continuous integrable field theories, addressing various points that are necessary for achieving this goal. We first study how to glue and split two integrable systems, from the perspectives of the spectral curve, the resolution of the associated toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds and Higgsing in quiver theories on D3-brane probes. We identify a continuous parameter controlling the decoupling between the components and present two complementary methods for determining the dependence on this parameter of the dynamical variables of the integrable system. Interested in constructing systems with an infinite number of degrees of freedom, we study the combinatorics of integrable systems built up from a large number of elementary components, and introduce a toy model capturing important features expected to be present in a continuous reformulation of cluster integrable systems.

description: We have written a new equation to study the statistics of earthquake distributions. We call this equation "the generalized logistic equation". The Gutenberg-Richter frequency-magnitude formula was derived from the solution of the generalized logistic equation as an asymptotic case in approximation of large magnitudes. To illustrate how the found solution of the generalized logistic equation works, it was used to approximate the observed cumulative distribution of earthquakes in four different geological provinces: the Central Atlantic (40N-25N, 5W-35W), Canary Islands, Magellan Mountains (20N-9S, 148E-170E), and the Sea of Japan. This approximation showed the excellent fit between the theoretical curves and observed data for earthquake magnitudes 1

Endaka and Japanese employment adjustment

description: In this paper, using annual data between 1975 and 1994, we estimate the effects of the fluctuations of the yen on Japanese employment, disaggregated by 15 tradeables (manufacturing) industries. We find significant and substantial effects of the yen appreciation on Japanese employment in the industries exporting a high proportion of their value-added, but surprisingly little impact on employment in the import-competing or low-exporting industries. We present a simple model that shows that employment is more responsive to exchange rate fluctuations when the Japanese industry in question is more "competitive," that is, when the monopolistic competitor that comprises the Japanese industry has less ability to set prices. If Japanese exporters face more competitive markets than Japanese import-competing firms, then one prediction of our model is that when the yen appreciates, employment falls by a greater amount for Japanese exporters than for Japanese non-exporters. We show econometrically that this prediction is strongly borne out.
