description: Interference mitigation strategies are deemed to play a key role in the context of the next generation (B4G/5G) of multicellular networks based on orthogonal frequency division multiple access. Fractional and soft frequency reuse (FFR, SFR) constitute two powerful mechanisms for intercell interference coordination that have been already adopted by emerging cellular deployments as an efficient way to improve the throughput performance perceived by cell-edge users. This paper presents a novel optimal fifth-percentile user rate constrained design for FFR/SFR-based networks that, by appropriately dimensioning the center and edge regions of the cell, rightly splitting the available bandwidth among these two areas while assigning the corresponding transmit power, allows a tradeoff between cell throughput performance and fairness to be established. To this end, both the cumulative distribution function of the user throughput and the average spectral efficiency of the system are derived assuming the use of the ubiquitous proportional fair scheduling policy. The mathematical framework is then used to obtain numerical results showing that the novel proposed design clearly outperforms previous schemes in terms of throughput fairness control due to a more rational compromise between average cell throughput and cell-edge ICIC.

description: We discuss the classical and quantum chaos of closed strings on a recently constructed charged confining holographic background. The confining background corresponds to the charged soliton, which is a solution of minimal $d=5$ gauged supergravity. The solution has a compact spacelike direction with a Wilson line on a circle and asymptotes to $AdS_5$ with a planar boundary. For the classical case, we analyze the chaos using the power spectrum, Poincaré sections, and Lyapunov exponents, finding that both energy and charge play constructive effects on enhancing the chaotic nature of the system. We similarly analyze quantum chaos using the distribution of the spectrum's level-spacing and out-of-time-ordered correlators and thoroughly investigate the effects of charge and energy. A gradual transition from a chaotic to an integrable regime is obtained as the energy and charge increase from lower to higher values, with charge playing a subdominant role.

description: Reference-Frame-Independent Quantum Key Distribution (RFI-QKD) provides a practical way to generate secret keys between two remote parties without sharing common reference frames. On the other hand, Measurement-Device-Independent QKD (MDI-QKD) offers high level of security as it immunes against all the quantum hacking attempts to the measurement devices. The combination of these two QKD protocols, i.e., RFI-MDI-QKD, is one of the most fascinating QKD protocols since it holds both advantages of practicality and security. For further practicality of RFI-MDI-QKD, it is beneficial to reduce the implementation complexity. Here, we have shown that RFI-MDI-QKD can be implemented using fewer quantum states than those of its original proposal. We found that, in principle, the number of quantum states for one of the parties can be reduced from six to three without compromising security. Comparing to the conventional RFI-MDI-QKD where both parties should transmit six quantum states, it significantly simplifies the implementation of the QKD protocol. We also verify the feasibility of the scheme with the proof-of-principle experiment.

description: With the help of quantum entanglement, quantum dense metrology (QDM) is a technique that can perform the joint estimates of two conjugate quantities such as phase and amplitude modulations of an optical field with an accuracy beating the standard quantum limit simultaneously. SU(1,1) interferometers (SUI) can realize QDM with detection loss tolerance but is limited in absolute sensitivity. Here we present a QDM scheme with a linear interferometer (SU(2)) nested inside an SU(1,1) interferometer. By using a degenerate SUI and controlling the phase angle of the phase-sensitive amplifers in SUI, we can achieve the optimum quantum enhancement in the measurement precision of arbitrary mixture of phase and amplitude modulation.

description: Three-body distribution functions in classical fluids have been theoretically investigated many times, but have never been measured directly. We present experimental three-point correlation functions that are computed from particle configurations measured by means of video-microscopy in two types of quasi-two-dimensional colloidal model fluids: a system of charged colloidal particles and a system of paramagnetic colloids. In the first system the particles interact via a Yukawa potential, in the second via a potential $Γ/r^{3}$. We find for both systems very similar results: on increasing the coupling between the particles one observes the gradual formation of a crystal-like local order due to triplet correlations, even though the system is still deep inside the fluid phase. These are mainly packing effects as is evident from the close resemblance between the results for the two systems having completely different pair-interaction potentials.

The neurotoxic effects of 1 -methyl-4-(2'-amino-phenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (2'-amino-MPTP) on brain serotonin and norepinephrine in mice

description: The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of 1-methyl-4-(2$\sp\prime$-aminophenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (2$\sp\prime$-NH$\sb2$-MPTP) in mouse brain and to begin to explore the mechanism of action of this novel neurotoxin, especially as it compares to the parent compound 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). The results indicate that 2$\sp\prime$-NH$\sb2$-MPTP is capable of causing substantial dose-dependent depletions in the monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine in two different strains of mice. Across all regions analyzed however, 2$\sp\prime$-NH$\sb2$-MPTP had negligible effects on brain dopamine, in sharp contrast with MPTP or 1-methyl-4-(2$\sp\prime $-methylphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (2$\sp\prime$-CH$\sb3$-MPTP), both of which cause relatively selective depletions in striatal dopamine and its metabolites. The effects of 2$\sp\prime$-NH$\sb2$-MPTP on cortical and hippocampal serotonin and norepinephrine were still present 6 months post-treatment as evidenced by a persistent 50% decrease in these brain regions. 2$\sp\prime$-NH$\sb2$-MPTP was also found to have a functionally relevant effect on serotonergic neurotransmission as demonstrated by an attenuated temperature response to pharmacologic challenge with the serotonin agonist m-chlorophenylpiperazine in 2$\sp\prime$-NH$\sb2$-MPTP-treated mice compared to saline-treated mice. Similarities in the mechanism of action between 2$\sp\prime$-NH$\sb2$-MPTP and MPTP were demonstrated even though 2$\sp\prime$-NH$\sb2$-MPTP acts on a different subpopulation of monoaminergic neurons. The decreases in serotonin and norepinephrine caused by 2$\sp\prime$-NH$\sb2$-MPTP were differentially prevented by pretreatment with uptake inhibitors selective for either the serotonergic or noradrenergic transporters, respectively. In addition, the effects of 2$\sp\prime$-NH$\sb2$-MPTP could be blocked by prior inhibition of monoamine oxidase, suggesting that 2$\sp\prime$-NH$\sb2$-MPTP is converted to a toxic metabolite by this endogenous enzyme. Although disturbances in the central serotonergic and noradrenergic transmitter systems are thought to be related to various neuropsychiatric illnesses, much remains to be discovered about the role of these neurotransmitters in normal and dysfunctional behavior. Having a new chemical neurotoxin like 2$\sp\prime$-NH$\sb2$-MPTP which is capable of causing selective long-term toxicity in forebrain serotonin and norepinephrine systems may benefit research efforts aimed at understanding the roles of these neurotransmitters in mammalian brain function.

description: We present a method for optimal coordination of multiple vehicle teams when multiple endpoint configurations are equally desirable, such as seen in the autonomous assembly of formation flight. The individual vehicles' positions in the formation are not assigned a priori and a key challenge is to find the optimal configuration assignment along with the optimal control and trajectory. Commonly, assignment and trajectory planning problems are solved separately. We introduce a new multi-vehicle coordination paradigm, where the optimal goal assignment and optimal vehicle trajectories are found simultaneously from a viscosity solution of a single Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) partial differential equation (PDE), which provides a necessary and sufficient condition for global optimality. Intrinsic in this approach is that individual vehicle dynamic models need not be the same, and therefore can be applied to heterogeneous systems. Numerical methods to solve the HJ equation have historically relied on a discrete grid of the solution space and exhibits exponential scaling with system dimension, preventing their applicability to multiple vehicle systems. By utilizing a generalization of the Hopf formula, we avoid the use of grids and present a method that exhibits polynomial scaling in the number of vehicles.

description: This research calls renewed attention to the fact that for most middle class blacks, social mobility has not translated into spatial mobility. Because of residential segregation, most middle class blacks, even those who make it to the suburbs, are often forced to live adjacent or in close proximity to poverty areas. This study investigates whether geographical proximity to concentrations of poverty decreases quality of life for middle class blacks relative to middle class whites. Three causal models of quality of life are evaluated for middle class black and middle class white residents of four Chicago middle class communities. Multi-level models are estimated in order to separate individual and contextual effects, and their importance in assessing quality of life. Non-economic (subjective) measures are used for the dependent and the various individual level independent variables. Contextual effects are first measured by dummy variables, and then by interval level variables. Multiple regression analysis is used to estimate separate equations for middle class whites and middle class blacks. The results show that geographical proximity, measured as an interval level variable, is a significant predictor of quality of life for both middle class whites and middle class blacks. However, the impact of proximity on quality of life appears slightly greater for middle class blacks compared to middle class whites. Additionally, the results indicate that both individual and contextual factors operate for middle class whites and middle class blacks, and operate differently for both groups. For example, individual socioeconomic status is a significant predictor of middle class white quality of life but not middle class black. Overall, the results demonstrate that economic indicators by themselves are not sufficient to assess middle class black quality of life. It appears that place of residence may be more important than socioeconomic status to understanding middle class black quality of life. Moreover, the findings show that race is still an important factor in the determination of American quality of life.

title: Space and Time Occurrence of Algal Blooms in the Mediterranean: their Significance for the Trophic Regime of the Basin
Creators: name: D'Ortenzio, Fabrizio

description: The Mediterranean Sea is generally classified as an oligotrophic basin with a dominant subtropical regime. The coarse temporal resolution of the Coastal Zone Color Scanner data did not allow to properly reconstruct the dynamics of the regional events which could support or falsify that view. In this thesis, five years of the SeaWiFS Mediterranean data were analyzed to depict the trophic regime of the basin and to quantify the impact of periodic or episodic phytoplankton blooms occurring there. The retrieval of chlorophyll a concentration was based on a new empirical regional algorithm (DORMA) developed and tested in the frame of this study. While confirming the low standing stock of phytoplankton biomass evidenced by the CZCS time series, the SeaWiFS imageries allowed to discriminate among two distinct regimes, which were classified as the ‘bloom areas’ and ‘non-bloom areas’. The former are mostly driven by the coupling of local atmospheric forcing and cyclonic circulation and, therefore, are often sites of dense water formation whereas the latter do follow a typical sub-tropical seasonal cycle without a pronounced maximum of biomass over the year. Surprisingly, the second regime not only pertains to most of the Eastern basin, as previously assumed, but also to the southern part of the Western one. The ‘bloom areas’ contribute to no more than 10-15% of the primary production in the basin, but account for the relevant part of the interannual variability in the standing stock of autotrophic biomass and display a seasonal cycle close to the North Atlantic Drift Region (sensu Longhurst). The merge of atmospheric data, 1D modeling and remote sensed SST as well as color water leaving radiances also allowed a detailed reconstruction of the dynamics of each bloom site and of the impact of the climatic fluctuation, usually referred as the eastern Mediterranean Transect, which took place at the beginning of the nineties in the basin.

description: Signal digitisation may produce significant effects in balloon - borne or space CMB experiments, since the limited bandwidth for downlink of data requires imposes a large quantisation step q applied on board by the instrument acquisition chain. In this paper we present a study of the impact of the quantization error in CMB experiments using, as a working case, simulated data from the Planck/LFI. At TOD level, the effect of the quantization can be approximated as a source of nearly normally distributed noise. At map level, the data quantization alters the noise distribution and the expectation of some higher order moments. Finally, at the levell of power spectra, the quantization introduces a power excess, that, although related to the instrument and mission parameters, is weakly dependent on the multipole l at middle and large l and can be quite accurately subtracted, leaving a residual uncertainty of few % of the RMS uncertainty. Only for l<30 the quantization removal is less accurate.

description: In recent years, several deviations from the Standard Model predictions in semileptonic decays of $B$-meson might suggest the existence of new physics which would break the lepton-flavour universality. In this work, we have explored the possibility of using muon sneutrinos and right-handed sbottoms to solve these $B$-physics anomalies simultaneously in $R$-parity violating minimal supersymmetric standard model. We find that the photonic penguin induced by exchanging sneutrino can provide sizable lepton flavour universal contribution due to the existence of logarithmic enhancement for the first time. This prompts us to use the two-parameter scenario $(C^{\rm V}_9, \, C^{\rm U}_9)$ to explain $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ anomaly. Finally, the numerical analyses show that the muon sneutrinos and right-handed sbottoms can explain $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $R(D^{(\ast)})$ anomalies simultaneously, and satisfy the constraints of other related processes, such as $B \to K^{(\ast)} ν\barν$ decays, $B_s-\bar B_s$ mixing, $Z$ decays, as well as $D^0 \to μ^+ μ^-$, $τ\to μρ^0$, $B \to τν$, $D_s \to τν$, $τ\to K ν$, $τ\to μγ$, and $τ\to μμμ$ decays.

description: Hard cider production in the United States increased annually by 27.3% between 2011 and 2016, totaling $300.4 million in revenues in 2016. Yet the production of cider-specific apples—apples with the unique flavor, acid, and tannin characteristics suited only to hard cider production—remains limited. This research project is a follow-up of Becot, Bradshaw, Conner’s (2016) study, which highlighted the mismatch between cider-makers’ preferred cultivars and current apple production in Vermont and suggested potential opportunities for the Vermont economy if cider-makers increased their production using state-grown cider-specific apples. Their study highlighted that the planting of new apple cultivars is a long-term investment and a commitment that apple growers most likely will not undertake unless they have assurances that cider-makers will buy the apples at an attractive price when the trees start producing. They concluded that one of the main challenges facing orchard diversification for hard cider is to create successful collaboration between supply chain actors. This research update presents the results of 15 semi-structured interviews conducted with apple growers and cider-makers between February and September 2016 to assess the optimal strategic partnership mechanisms to jump-start the cider industry in Vermont. Two strategic partnership mechanisms were presented to interviewees: production contracts (used in the well-established English cider industry) and cooperatives (used in the well-established French cider industry). Interviewees rejected both mechanisms to put new cider-specific apple trees in the ground in Vermont on a short-term timescale. Apple growers expressed a need for more support on how to grow cider-specific cultivars. The most pressing issue is not the cider-specific fruit supply but a lack of consumer demand for ciders made from cider-specific fruits. A clearer distinction between cider styles (stereotyped by the “beer-like” and “wine-like” ciders) may be needed to develop consumers’ cider-literacy and increase demand. In November 2016, a survey was sent to the 17 Vermont cider-makers asking whether they would like to craft and market some of their ciders under a label that would differentiate and define the different cider styles. Three types of labels were proposed: one that is place-based, one that is process-based, and one that is taste-based.

There is an indication that the asymmetry begins to rise up at the same centre of mass system pion energy.

description: It is shown that a pointlike composite having charge and magnetic moment displays a confining potential for the static interaction while simultaneously obeying fractional statistics in a pure gauge theory in three dimensions, without a Chern-Simons term. This result is distinct from the Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory that shows a screening nature for the potential.

description: We investigate the resonant states for the parabolic potential barrier known also as inverted or reversed oscillator. They correspond to the poles of meromorphic continuation of the resolvent operator to the complex energy plane. As a byproduct we establish an interesting relation between parabolic cylinder functions (representing energy eigenfunctions of our system) and a class of Gel'fand distributions used in our recent paper.

The relationships among Kolb Learning Style Inventory profiles, age, education level, and performance in an adult introductory computer course
Creators: name: Green, Mark Trenton
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This experimental study investigated the relationships among learning styles on the Kolb Learning Style Inventory, Education, Age and success at an Introductory Computer Course for adults. A wide range of adult learners who were attending various medical training courses at the Army Medical Department Center and School took a fifteen hour introduction to computers module. The module had-three hour training classes in Word Perfect 5.1 word processing, Enable 4.0 database (a software product similar to DBASE III), Enable 4.0 spreadsheet (a product similar to LOTUS 123), and Harvard Graphics 2.3. A hands on pre-test and post-test was used to measure learning in the course. No differences based on age, education, or learning style were identified for database or spreadsheet training. Subjects with greater than sixty semester hours of college and less than or equal to a B.A. learned significantly more in the word processing module than did learners with less than sixty semester hours of college (p = 0.2). Subjects under the age of twenty-five learned more than subjects over thirty (p = 0.10). Subjects under twenty-five learned more than subjects older than thirty at graphics (p = 0.10). Subjects older than twenty-five and less than or equal to thirty also learned more than those older than thirty-five (p = 0.10). Accommodators on the Kolb Learning Style Inventory learned more than the other 3 learning styles at graphics (p = 0.05).
Growth and Welfare in a Small Open Economy

description: We construct a model of growth based on endogenous technological change in a small, open economy. Entrepreneurs develop new intermediate products whenever the present value of potential profits exceeds the cost of R&D. Diversity of intermediates contributes to total factor productivity in the production of final goods. The economy produces two such final goods, and trades these at exogenously given world prices. We study the welfare implications of R&D subsidies and commercial policy. There exists an optimal subsidy to R&D that speeds growth relative to the market-determined rate. The optimal subsidy achieves the first-best rate of growth, but not the first-best level of welfare. Small tariffs and export subsidies also affect both growth and welfare. Growth may increase or decrease, depending upon which sector is promoted by the trade policy. But an increase in the growth rate is neither necessary nor sufficient for a trade policy to improve welfare. Finally, we compare tariffs and quotas, when the latter give rise to rent-seeking behavior. The diversion of resources from innovative activities to rent seeking can have dire implications for growth and welfare.
A Signalling Model of Nominal Price Inertia

description: We present a signalling model which ascribes real effects to nominal disturbances. The market structure is characterized by imperfect information about prices which in the absence of aggregate informational asymmetries grants individual sellers monopoly status as in Diamond (1971). In addition, agents must incur an arbitrarily small cost to become perfectly informed about an aggregate nominal shock. If a seller has incurred this cost, its buyers may costlessly infer its private aggregate information from its nominal price. The solution of this signalling game specifies a set of sellers which separate and another Which pools and thus exhibits price inertia. The aggregate price level lies below the separating and above the pooling price.

description: Magnetic, transport, and specific heat measurements have been performed on layered metallic oxide Na$_{1.5}$Co$_2$O$_4$ as a function of temperature $T$. Below a characteristic temperature $T^*$=30$-$40 K, electrical resistivity shows a metallic conductivity with a $T^2$ behavior and magnetic susceptibility deviates from the Curie-Weiss behavior showing a broad peak at $\sim$14 K. The electronic specific heat coefficient $γ$ is $\sim$60 mJ/molK$^2$ at 2 K. No evidence for magnetic ordering is found. These behaviors suggest the formation of mass-enhanced Fermi liquid ground state analogous to that in $d$-electron heavy fermion compound LiV$_2$O$_4$.

Jet-shaped geometrically modified light curves of core collapse supernovae

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We build three simple bipolar ejecta models for core collapse supernovae (CCSNe), as expected when the explosion is driven by strong jets, and show that for an observer located in the equatorial plane of the ejecta, the light curve has a rapid luminosity decline, and even an abrupt drop. In calculating the geometrically modified photosphere we assume that the ejecta has an axisymmetrical structure composed of an equatorial ejecta and faster polar ejecta, and has a uniform effective temperature. At early times the photosphere in the polar ejecta grows faster than the equatorial one, leading to higher luminosity relative to a spherical explosion. The origin of the extra radiated energy is the jets. At later times the optical depth decreases faster in the polar ejecta, and the polar photosphere becomes hidden behind the equatorial ejecta for an observer in the equatorial plane, leading to a rapid luminosity decline. For a model where the jets inflate two low-density polar bubbles, the luminosity decline might be abrupt. This model enables us to fit the abrupt decline in the light curve of SN 2018don.
