description: The formation of buyer-supplier relationships (BSRs) is a major disintermediation trigger, causing losses for platforms. Utilising data from a freight exchange platform in China, this paper examines the impact of user-platform relationship (UPR) homogeneity, which aggregates BSRs at the user-platform level, on user’s disintermediation. We find that high UPR homogeneity leads to user disintermediation under the joint effect of high mutual trust and low switching costs. Relationship substitutability reduces the effect by influencing the generation of mutual trust. Involuntary transactions reinforce it, while service variety reduces it by influencing the generation of switching costs. This research contributes to the literature by expanding the focus from the dyadic perspective to the platform and highlighting that the benefits of BSRs for buyers and suppliers can harm platforms by influencing user disintermediation. This insight suggests that platforms should oversee users’ BSR portfolios to avoid the potential issue of excessive concentration.

It is shown that the isentropic flow of the fluid is equivalent to a radial component of gravitational field equations. We use the non-relativistic fluid expansion method to study the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton system with a negative cosmological constant, and obtain the holographic incompressible forced Navier-Stokes equations of the dual fluid at AdS boundary and at a finite cutoff surface, respectively.

Polyphosphate as a modulator of the complement system
Creators: name: Wat, Jovian Ming Wai
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Coagulation and complement are evolutionarily related, with several well-described mechanisms of cross-talk. Recently, it was established that polyphosphate (polyP) is a physiologic activator and promoter of coagulation. I hypothesized that polyP also plays a role in regulating complement, and thereby acts as an additional molecular bridge between coagulation and complement. Evidence to support this was provided by studies in bacteria, where defects in polyP synthesis and degradation alter its resistance to serum-mediated killing. In this thesis, I show that polyP suppresses total complement-mediated lytic activity and the terminal pathway, resulting in decreased lysis of foreign erythrocytes by the membrane attack complex (MAC). In contrast, monophosphate exhibits 10-fold less inhibition in total hemolytic activity, and has no effect on the terminal pathway. I also provide evidence that polyP destabilizes the C5b,6 complex to prevent functional MAC formation. Implications of the role of polyP in complement modulation are discussed.

description: We present a simple technique to reduce the emission rate of higher-order photon events from pulsed spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The technique uses extra-cavity control over a mode locked ultrafast laser to simultaneously increase repetition rate and reduce the energy of each pulse from the pump beam. We apply our scheme to a photonic quantum gate, showing improvements in the non-classical interference visibility for 2-photon and 4-photon experiments, and in the quantum-gate fidelity and entangled state production in the 2-photon case.

description: Identical neutral kaon pair correlations are measured in $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV pp collisions in the ALICE experiment. One-dimensional K$^0_s$K$^0_s$ correlation functions in terms of the invariant momentum difference of kaon pairs are formed in two multiplicity and two transverse momentum ranges. The femtoscopic parameters for the radius and correlation strength of the kaon source are extracted. The f${\rm i}$t includes quantum statistics and final-state interactions of the a$_0$/f$_0$ resonance. K$^0_s$K$^0_s$ correlations show an increase in radius for increasing multiplicity and a slight decrease in radius for increasing transverse mass, $m_{\rm T}$, as seen in $ππ$ correlations in the pp system and in heavy-ion collisions. Transverse mass scaling is observed between the K$^0_s$K$^0_s$ and $ππ$ radii. Also, the f${\rm i}$rst observation is made of the decay of the f$_2'$(1525) meson into the K$^0_s$K$^0_s$ channel in pp collisions.

 Cydia pomonella is oligophagous; we recorded it from three plant species, with MalusMalus sp. the primary host (Table 1). There are two generations per year. Females lay eggs on the underside of the leaf. Productivity of the female is 60- 120 eggs. Newly hatched caterpillars penetrate into the pulp of the fruit and make a chamberlike cavity. The following instars feed in the seed cavity. The fourth instar completes feeding and leaves the fruit to pupate. Moths are active at dusk.

Imaging spin-inelastic Friedel oscillations emerging from magnetic impurities

description: We consider inelastic scattering of localized magnetic moments coupled with the electrons on the surface. We argue that spin-inelastic transitions of the magnetic impurities generate oscillations at a momentum $k$, corresponding to the inelastic mode, in the second derivative of the current with respect to voltage $d^2I/dV^2$. These oscillations are similar in nature to Friedel oscillations. Inelastic Friedel oscillations, which were previously proposed for spin-unpolarized set-up, is here extended for spin-polarized systems. We propose to use scanning tunneling microscope to measure spin-inelastic scattering generated at the impurity spin by imaging the $d^2I/dV^2$ oscillations on the metal surface.
Concentration of Measure Inequalities for Toeplitz Matrices with Applications

description: We derive Concentration of Measure (CoM) inequalities for randomized Toeplitz matrices. These inequalities show that the norm of a high-dimensional signal mapped by a Toeplitz matrix to a low-dimensional space concentrates around its mean with a tail probability bound that decays exponentially in the dimension of the range space divided by a quantity which is a function of the signal. For the class of sparse signals, the introduced quantity is bounded by the sparsity level of the signal. However, we observe that this bound is highly pessimistic for most sparse signals and we show that if a random distribution is imposed on the non-zero entries of the signal, the typical value of the quantity is bounded by a term that scales logarithmically in the ambient dimension. As an application of the CoM inequalities, we consider Compressive Binary Detection (CBD).

The Origin of the Microlensing Events Observed Towards the LMC and the Stellar Counterpart of the Magellanic Stream

description: We introduce a novel theoretical model to explain the long-standing puzzle of the nature of the microlensing events reported towards the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) by the MACHO and OGLE collaborations. We propose that a population of tidally stripped stars from the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) located ~4-10 kpc behind a lensing population of LMC disk stars can naturally explain the observed event durations (17-71 days), event frequencies and spatial distribution of the reported events. Differences in the event frequencies reported by the OGLE (~0.33 /yr) and MACHO (~1.75 /yr) surveys appear to be naturally accounted for by their different detection efficiencies and sensitivity to faint sources. The presented models of the Magellanic System were constructed without prior consideration of the microlensing implications. These results favor a scenario for the interaction history of the Magellanic Clouds, wherein the Clouds are on their first infall towards the Milky Way and the SMC has recently collided with the LMC 100-300 Myr ago, leading to a large number of faint sources distributed non-uniformly behind the LMC disk. In contrast to self-lensing models, microlensing events are also expected to occur in fields off the LMC's stellar bar since the stellar debris is not expected to be concentrated in the bar region. This scenario leads to a number of observational tests: the sources are low-metallicity SMC stars, they exhibit high velocities relative to LMC disk stars that may be detectable via proper motion studies, and, most notably, there should exist a stellar counterpart to the gaseous Magellanic Stream and Bridge with a V-band surface brightness of > 32 mag/arcsec^2. In particular, the stellar Bridge should contain enough RR Lyrae stars to be detected by the ongoing OGLE survey of this region.

Neuron as a reward-modulated combinatorial switch and a model of learning behavior

Subjects: subject: Biological Physics (physics.bio-ph)
subject: Neurons and Cognition (q-bio.NC)

description: This paper proposes a neuronal circuitry layout and synaptic plasticity principles that allow the (pyramidal) neuron to act as a "combinatorial switch". Namely, the neuron learns to be more prone to generate spikes given those combinations of firing input neurons for which a previous spiking of the neuron had been followed by a positive global reward signal. The reward signal may be mediated by certain modulatory hormones or neurotransmitters, e.g., the dopamine. More generally, a trial-and-error learning paradigm is suggested in which a global reward signal triggers long-term enhancement or weakening of a neuron's spiking response to the preceding neuronal input firing pattern. Thus, rewards provide a feedback pathway that informs neurons whether their spiking was beneficial or detrimental for a particular input combination. The neuron's ability to discern specific combinations of firing input neurons is achieved through a random or predetermined spatial distribution of input synapses on dendrites that creates synaptic clusters that represent various permutations of input neurons. The corresponding dendritic segments, or the enclosed individual spines, are capable of being particularly excited, due to local sigmoidal thresholding involving voltage-gated channel conductances, if the segment's excitatory and absence of inhibitory inputs are temporally coincident. Such nonlinear excitation corresponds to a particular firing combination of input neurons, and it is posited that the excitation strength encodes the combinatorial memory and is regulated by long-term plasticity mechanisms. It is also suggested that the spine calcium influx that may result from the spatiotemporal synaptic input coincidence may cause the spine head actin filaments to undergo mechanical (muscle-like) contraction, with the ensuing cytoskeletal deformation transmitted to the axon initial segment where it may...

description: The leading universities of science and technology united within CESAER welcome the opportunity to provide additional input in the context of the public consultation on the past, present, and future of the Erasmus+ programme. 

Our Members have submitted individual responses to the online questionnaire which closed on 8 December 2023, and with this position, we complement these with high-level recommendations. We reiterate that we are ready to provide the support and expertise of our association and our Members to advance all these important areas related to the Erasmus+ programme. This note also complements and expands on our input note ‘First experiences with EU Funding Programmes from 2021 to 2027’ dated 21 April 2022. We also recall our previous Erasmus-related statements, as well as our input on the Digital Education Action Plan 2021-2027 and positions on the European Education Area. 

We have identified three main sectors for improvement. These sectors are the financial & legal framework of the subprogrammes under Erasmus+, the overall programme structure and its administration, and the programme priorities. 

While there are areas to improve, we highlight that the EU funding programmes remain highly valued by our community and we, therefore, welcome the public consultation as an opportunity to work together to make these programmes even more attractive.
title: The impact of introduced predators on the Mallorcan midwife toad Alytes muletensis
Creators: name: Moore, Robin D.
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2002

description: The endemic midwife toad of Mallorca, Alytes muletensis, was once widespread across the island, but a dramatic decline has resulted in the persistence of only a small number of populations in the mountainous north-west. Predation and competition from introduced species such as the viperine snake (Natrix maura) and green frog (Rana perezi) are widely believed to have been imp0l1ant agents of decline. This thesis set out to test that theory by assessing the impact of introduced predators on the distribution of the toad, and on the population structure, morphology and behaviour of tadpoles. GIS analysis revealed the preferred habitat of the toad to be high elevation torrents surrounded by steep sides and containing many pools. This habitat is thought to favour the persistence of cool plunge pools throughout the year, providing optimal conditions for larval growth and development. Although steep sides surrounding a torrent did not prohibit the access of introduced snakes and frogs, the presence of these predators was negatively associated with elevation, resulting in reduced predation pressure at higher altitudes. These findings may be used to optimize the location and design of future reintroductions and to enhance existing sites. The presence of introduced predators was found to influence the growth, development and population structure of larval A. muletensis. Bimodal size-structures of larval popUlations in sites with snakes and frogs reflected size-selective predation or changes in recruitment, growth and development under the threat of predation. Differences in tadpole morphology between populations reflected rapid and reversible plastic responses to snakes and frogs, but no such responses were found towards a native invertebrate predator. It is likely that intense selection pressure has driven the evolution of inducible morphological and behavioural defences since the introduction of vertebrate predators onto Mallorca some 2000 years ago. Although captive-bred tadpoles showed similar responses to wild tadpoles, experiments showed that behavioural responses to predators were slightly weaker in the former. This may be a result of a captive-breeding bottleneck and supports the decision of the recovery group to stop releasing individuals from the original founder stock and to establish three new bloodlines.

description: In this paper, we study instanton contributions to the correlator of the hybrid current $g\bar q σ_{μν}G^a_{νμ}T^a q$. These contributions are then included in a QCD sum-rule analysis of the isoscalar $0^{++}$ hybrid mass. We find a mass at 1.83 GeV for the $(\bar uug+\bar ddg)/\sqrt{2}$ hybrid. However, for the $\bar ssg$ hybrid, we find the sum rules are unstable. We also study non-zero width effects, which affect the mass prediction. The mixing effects between these two states are studied and we find QCD sum rules support the existence of a flavor singlet hybrid with mass at around 1.9 GeV. Finally, we study the mixing effects between hybrid and glueball currents. The mixing between the $(\bar uug+\bar ddg)/\sqrt{2}$($\bar ssg$) and the glueball causes two states, one in the region 1.4-1.8 GeV(1.4-2.2 GeV), and the other in the range 1.8-2.2 GeV(2.2-2.6 GeV).

description: The property of cyclicity of a linear operator, or equivalently the property of simplicity of its spectrum, is an important spectral characteristic that appears in many problems of functional analysis and applications to mathematical physics. In this paper we study cyclicity in the context of rank-one perturbation problems for self-adjoint and unitary operators. We show that for a fixed non-zero vector the property of being a cyclic vector is not rare, in the sense that for any family of rank-one perturbations of self-adjoint or unitary operators acting on the space, that vector will be cyclic for every operator from the family, with a possible exception of a small set with respect to the parameter. We discuss applications of our results to Anderson-type Hamiltonians.

An unforgettable apple : attention and memory for forbidden objects
Creators: name: Truong, Grace
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Are we humans drawn to the forbidden? From jumbo-sized soft drinks to illicit substances, the influence of prohibited ownership on subsequent demand has made this question a pressing one. We know that objects we ourselves own have a heightened psychological saliency, relative to comparable objects that are owned by others, but do these kinds of effects extend from self-owned to "forbidden" objects? To address this question I developed a modified version of the Turk shopping paradigm in which “purchased” items were assigned to various recipients. Participants sorted everyday objects labeled as self-owned, other-owned, and either forbidden to oneself (Experiment 1) or forbidden to everyone (Experiment 2). Subsequent surprise recognition memory tests revealed forbidden objects with high (Experiment 1) but not low self-relevance (Experiment 2) were recognized as well as self-owned objects and better than other-owned objects. In a third and final experiment I used event-related potentials (ERPs) to determine whether self-owned and self-forbidden objects, which showed a common memory advantage, are in fact treated the same at a neurocognitive-affective level. I found that both object types were associated with enhanced cognitive analysis, relative to other-owned objects, as measured by the P300 ERP component. However, I also found that self-forbidden objects uniquely triggered an enhanced response preceding the P300, in an ERP component (the N2) sensitive to more rapid, affect-related processing. Our findings thus suggest that while self-forbidden objects share a common cognitive signature with self-owned objects, they are unique in being identified more quickly at a neurocognitive level.

description: Was the spread of agropastoralism from the Fertile Crescent throughout Europe influenced by extreme climate events, or was it independent of climate? We here generate idealized climate events using palaeoclimate records. In a mathematical model of regional sociocultural development, these events disturb the subsistence base of simulated forager and farmer societies. We evaluate the regional simulated transition timings and durations against a published large set of radiocarbon dates for western Eurasia; the model is able to realistically hindcast much of the inhomogeneous space-time evolution of regional Neolithic transitions. Our study shows that the consideration of climate events improves the simulation of typical lags between cultural complexes, but that the overall difference to a model without climate events is not significant. Climate events may not have been as important for early sociocultural dynamics as endogenous factors.

Hitting distributions of alpha-stable processes via path censoring and self-similarity

description: In this paper we return to the problem of Blumenthal-Getoor-Ray, published in 1961, which gave the law of the position of first entry of a symmetric alpha-stable process into the unit ball. Specifically, we are interested in establishing the same law, but now for a one dimensional alpha-stable process which enjoys two-sided jumps, and which is not necessarily symmetric. Our method is modern in the sense that we appeal to the relationship between alpha-stable processes and certain positive self-similar Markov processes. However there are two notable additional innovations. First, we make use of a type of path censoring. Second, we are able to describe in explicit analytical detail a non-trivial Wiener-Hopf factorisation of an auxiliary Levy process from which the desired solution can be sourced. Moreover, as a consequence of this approach, we are able to deliver a number of additional, related identities in explicit form for alpha-stable processes.

description: A Monte Carlo simulation was conducted to investigate the Type I error rates of several versions of chi-square difference tests for nonnormal data in confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) models. The studied statistics include: 1) the original uncorrected difference test, D, obtained by taking the difference of the ML chi-squares for the respective models; 2) the original robust difference test, DR₁, due to Satorra and Bentler (2001); 3) the recent modification to this test, DR₂, which ensures that the statistic remains positive (Satorra & Bentler, 2010); and 4) a hybrid statistic, DH, proposed by Asparouhov and Muthén (2010), which is equal to DR₁ when DR₁ > 0, and otherwise is equal to DR₁. Types of constraints studied included constraining factor correlations to 0, constraining factor correlations to 1, and constraining factor loadings to equal each other within or across factors. An interesting finding was that the uncorrected test appeared to be robust to nonnormality when the constraint was setting factor correlations to zero. The robust tests performed well and similarly to each other in many conditions. The new strictly positive test, DR₂ exhibited slightly inflated rejection rates in conditions that involved constraining factor loadings, while DR₁ and DH exhibited rejection rates slightly below nominal in conditions that involved constraining factor correlations or factor loadings. While more research is needed on the new strictly positive test, the original robust difference test or the hybrid procedure are tentatively recommended.

description: Let f(1)=1, and let f(n+1)=2^{2^{f(n)}} for every positive integer n. We conjecture that if a system S \subseteq {x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}} \cup {x_i+1=x_k: i,k \in {1,...,n}} has only finitely many solutions in non-negative integers x_1,...,x_n, then each such solution (x_1,...,x_n) satisfies x_1,...,x_n \leq f(2n). We prove: (1) the conjecture implies that there exists an algorithm which takes as input a Diophantine equation, returns an integer, and this integer is greater than the heights of integer (non-negative integer, positive integer, rational) solutions, if the solution set is finite, (2) the conjecture implies that the question whether or not a Diophantine equation has only finitely many rational solutions is decidable with an oracle for deciding whether or not a Diophantine equation has a rational solution, (3) the conjecture implies that the question whether or not a Diophantine equation has only finitely many integer solutions is decidable with an oracle for deciding whether or not a Diophantine equation has an integer solution, (4) the conjecture implies that if a set M \subseteq N has a finite-fold Diophantine representation, then M is computable.

Critical Casimir effect in films for generic non-symmetry-breaking boundary conditions

description: Systems described by an O(n) symmetrical $ϕ^4$ Hamiltonian are considered in a $d$-dimensional film geometry at their bulk critical points. A detailed renormalization-group (RG) study of the critical Casimir forces induced between the film's boundary planes by thermal fluctuations is presented for the case where the O(n) symmetry remains unbroken by the surfaces. The boundary planes are assumed to cause short-ranged disturbances of the interactions that can be modelled by standard surface contributions $\propto \bmϕ^2$ corresponding to subcritical or critical enhancement of the surface interactions. This translates into mesoscopic boundary conditions of the generic symmetry-preserving Robin type $\partial_n\bmϕ=\mathring{c}_j\bmϕ$. RG-improved perturbation theory and Abel-Plana techniques are used to compute the $L$-dependent part $f_{\mathrm{res}}$ of the reduced excess free energy per film area $A\to\infty $ to two-loop order. When $d<4$, it takes the scaling form $f_{\mathrm{res}}\approx D(c_1L^{Φ/ν},c_2L^{Φ/ν})/L^{d-1}$ as $L\to\infty$, where $c_i$ are scaling fields associated with the surface-enhancement variables $\mathring{c}_i$, while $Φ$ is a standard surface crossover exponent. The scaling function $D(\mathsf{c}_1,\mathsf{c}_2)$ and its analogue $\mathcal{D}(\mathsf{c}_1,\mathsf{c}_2)$ for the Casimir force are determined via expansion in $ε=4-d$ and extrapolated to $d=3$ dimensions. In the special case $\mathsf{c}_1=\mathsf{c}_2=0$, the expansion becomes fractional. Consistency with the known fractional expansions of D(0,0) and $\mathcal{D}(0,0)$ to order $ε^{3/2}$ is achieved by appropriate reorganisation of RG-improved perturbation theory. For appropriate choices of $c_1$ and $c_2$, the Casimir forces can have either sign. Furthermore, crossovers from attraction to repulsion and vice versa may occur as $L$ increases.

Anaerobic digestion of dairy manure using the microwave hydrogen peroxide advanced oxidation process
Creators: name: Chan, Ian Ching Yuen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Anaerobic digestion (AD) of dairy manure is an alternative to traditional manure management using land application. There are many benefits of AD but it is currently not an economically viable option in many parts of North America. The focus of this investigation was to determine whether liquid dairy manure treated by microwave hydrogen peroxide advanced oxidation process (MW/H₂O₂-AOP) would increase the anaerobic biodegradability of the substrate, producing higher methane yields. Biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests were conducted to measure biogas generation and the Modified Gompertz equation was used to determine the kinetics of anaerobic biodegradability. The research found that MW/H₂O₂-AOP was effective in solubilizing nutrients and organics in liquid dairy manure, but it does not necessarily translate into enhanced anaerobic biodegradability. The BMP tests revealed that digestion of untreated dairy manure at 35ºC had the highest methane yields. Severe inhibition was observed for the digestion of acidified dairy manure. This was attributed to sulfide inhibition. In addition, ammonia concentrations were suspected as the main reason for severe inhibition of microwave treated dairy manure with no acid addition, but a number of other factors could also be responsible, including sulfide, light metals and lack of temperature acclimation for inoculum. Pretreatment of sewage sludge and BMP tests were also conducted to compare the effect of MW/H₂O₂-AOP with dairy manure. The results showed that the microwave treatment had a positive impact on anaerobic digestibility of sewage sludge, especially for mesophilic digestion. At 35ᵒC, MW alone generated the highest methane yields followed by MW/H₂O₂ and then the control. In terms of methane yield, microwave treatment improved the methane production rate for mesophilic digestion, but not thermophilic digestion. The positive results for BMP tests of microwave treated sewage sludge suggest that the influence of microwave treatment on anaerobic biodegradability is substrate and solid concentration specific. There was no clear and consistent increase or decrease in soluble metal (Ca, K, Mg, Na) concentrations after MW/H₂O₂-AOP. However, it was found that acidified treatment was effective in releasing calcium and magnesium into solution. After digestion, the soluble calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium content of dairy manure was reduced.

description: We calculate the quadratic fluctuations of net baryon number, electric charge and strangeness as well as correlations among these conserved charges in (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD at zero chemical potential. Results are obtained using calculations with tree level improved gauge and the highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) actions with almost physical light and strange quark masses at three different values of the lattice cut-off. Our choice of parameters corresponds to a value of 160 MeV for the lightest pseudo scalar Goldstone mass and a physical value of the kaon mass. The three diagonal charge susceptibilities and the correlations among conserved charges have been extrapolated to the continuum limit in the temperature interval 150 MeV

description: Cyclic algebraic Z^d-actions are defined by ideals of Laurent polynomials in d commuting variables. Such an action is expansive precisely when the complex variety of the ideal is disjoint from the multiplicative d-torus. For such expansive actions it is known that the limit for the growth rate of periodic points exists and is equal to the entropy of the action. In an earlier paper the authors extended this result to ideals whose variety intersects the d-torus in a finite set. Here we further extend it to the case when the dimension of intersection of the variety with the d-torus is at most d-2. The main tool is the construction of homoclinic points which decay rapidly enough to be summable.
