description: Recently Reny and Wooders ([23]) showed that there is some point in the intersection of sets in Shapley's ([24]) generalization of the Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiwicz Theorem with the property that the collection of all sets containing that point is partnered as well as balanced. In this paper we provide a further extension by showing that the collection of all such sets can be chosen to be strictly balanced, implying the Reny-Wooders result. Our proof is topological, based on the Eilenberg-Montgomery ¯xed point Theorem. Reny and Wooders ([23]) also show that if the collection of partnered points in the intersection is countable, then at least one of them is minimally partnered. Applying degree theory for correspondences, we show that if this collection is only assumed to be zero dimensional (or if the set of partnered and strictly balanced points is of dimension zero), then there is at least one strictly balanced and minimally partnered point in the intersection. The approach presented in this paper sheds a new geometric-topological light on the Reny-Wooders results.
title: The Textures of Controversy: Values and Interests in Disputes Around Genomics
Creators: name: Bruce, Elizabeth Ann
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2011

description: This thesis examines values-based and interests-based arguments around potentially disputed developments in genomics and the relevant policy and regulatory responses. Developments in genomics may result in disputes about the prospects and problems around them, with different stakeholders bringing a range of values and interests to bear on the many actions and decisions concerning this subject. This thesis contends that the relationship between values-based and interests-based arguments and the technical and social contexts reveal unique alignments or textures to different applications of genomics, an understanding of which will contribute to development of appropriate policy responses. Three case studies are examined: genetically modified and cloned animals, population biobanks and stem cell research. For each, a detailed examination is made of the values-based and interests-based arguments advanced and the relevant policy and regulatory responses. From these analyses, it is argued that the superficially simple categorisation into values-based and interests-based arguments conceals a great deal of complexity but also reveals important features about each case studied. The dynamics of each case varies with predominantly interests-based arguments in biobanks, values-based arguments in stem cell research and values-based arguments conflicting with interests-based arguments in the case of cloned animals. These data imply that each application of genomics should be examined in its specific context. This thesis contributes to a theoretical understanding of disputes by applying a values-interests approach to a range of different contexts, demonstrating that the approach has merit in terms of conceptualising the main features of potentially contested situations. This thesis provides evidence that further examination of arguments identifies three different categories of values-based arguments and threeaspects of interests-based arguments. This conclusion points to an increased role for careful examination of arguments with a view to clarifying assumptions about the nature of the issues at stake to enable more discriminating policy responses.

description: This article presents a numerical framework to predict the mechanical behavior of knitted fabrics from their discrete structure at the fabric yarn level, i.e., the mesostructure, utilizing the hierarchical multiscale method. Due to the regular distribution of yarn loops in a knitted structure, the homogenization theory for periodic materials can be employed. Thus, instead of considering the whole fabric sample under loading, a significantly less computationally demanding analysis can be done on a repeated unit cell (RUC). This RUC is created based on simple structural parameters of knitted yarn loops and its fabric yarns are assumed to behave transversely isotropic. Nonlinear finite element analyses are performed to determine the stress fields in the RUC under tensile and shear loading. During this analysis, contact friction among yarns is considered as well as the periodic boundary conditions are employed. The macroscopic stresses then can be derived from the stress fields in the RUC by means of the numerical homogenization scheme. The physical fidelity of the proposed framework is shown by the good agreement between the predicted mechanical properties of knitted fabrics and corresponding experimental data.

description: This paper uses a sample of lone mothers (and former lone mothers who are now repartnered) drawn from the 1997 Family Resources Survey to analyse the potential effects of reforming the UK system of Child Support. The main deficiency of the data is that non-resident fathers cannot be matched to the mothers in the data and this is overcome by exploiting information from another dataset which gives the joint distribution of the characteristics of separated parents. The effects of reforming the Child Support system is simulated for the amount of maintenance liabilities, the amount paid and the net incomes of households containing mothers with care and households containing non-resident fathers. The likely effects of the reform are simulated at various levels of compliance. The analysis highlights the need for further research into the incentive effects of Child Support on individual behaviour.

description: What does it mean to quantize a symplectic map $χ$? In deformation quantization, it means to construct an automorphism of the $*$ algebra associated to $χ$. In quantum chaos it means to construct unitary operators $U_χ$ such that $A \to U_χ A U_χ^*$ defines an automorphism of the algebra of observables. In geometric quantization and in PDE it means to construct a unitary Fourier integral (or Toeplitz) operator associated to the graph of $χ$. We compare the definitions in the setting of Kahler manifolds $(M, g)$. The main result is a Toeplitz analogue of the Duistermaat-Singer theorem on automorphisms of the pseudo-differential algebra, and its extension to non-simply connected phase spaces, which often occur in applications (quantized symplectic torus automorphisms.

description: When stars form in small groups (N = 100 - 500 members), their circumstellar disks are exposed to little EUV radiation but a great deal of FUV radiation from massive stars in the group. This paper calculates mass loss rates for circumstellar disks exposed to external FUV radiation. Previous work treated large disks and/or intense radiation fields in which the disk radius exceeds the critical radius (supercritical disks) where the sound speed in the FUV heated layer exceeds the escape speed. This paper shows that significant mass loss still takes place for subcritical systems. Some of the gas extends beyond the disk edge (above the disk surface) to larger distances where the temperature is higher, the escape speed is lower, and an outflow develops. The evaporation rate is a sensitive function of the stellar mass and disk radius, which determine the escape speed, and the external FUV flux, which determines the temperature structure of the flow. Disks around red dwarfs are readily evaporated and shrink to disk radii of 15 AU on short time scales (10 Myr) when exposed to moderate FUV fields with $G_0$ = 3000. Although disks around solar type stars are more durable, these disks shrink to 15 AU in 10 Myr for intense FUV radiation fields with $G_0$ = 30,000; such fields exist in the central 0.7 pc of a cluster with N = 4000 stars. If our solar system formed in the presence of such strong FUV radiation fields, this mechanism could explain why Neptune and Uranus in our solar system are gas poor, whereas Jupiter and Saturn are gas rich. This mechanism for photoevaporation can also limit the production of Kuiper belt objects and can suppress giant planet formation in sufficiently large clusters, such as the Hyades, especially for disks associated with low mass stars.

description: The variation of the superconducting critical temperature Tc as a function of x in the diboride Mg1-xAlxB2 has been studied in the framework of the two-bands Eliashberg theory and traditional phonon coupling mechanism. We have solved the two-bands Eliashberg equations using first-principle calculations or simple assumptions for the variation of the relevant physical quantities. We have found that the experimental Tc curve can be explained only if the Coulomb pseudopotential changes with x by tuning the Fermi level toward the sigma band edge. In polycrystal samples the x dependence of the sigma and pi-band gap has been found and is in agreement with experiments.

description: Chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde signalling (RS) is known to impact plant growth and development. In Arabidopsis, we and others have shown that RS affects seedling establishment by inhibiting deetiolation. In the presence of lincomycin, a chloroplast protein synthesis inhibitor that triggers RS, Arabidopsis light-grown seedlings display partial skotomorphogenesis with undeveloped plastids and closed cotyledons. By contrast, RS in monocotyledonous has been much less studied. Here, we show that emerging rice seedlings exposed to lincomycin do not accumulate chlorophyll but otherwise remain remarkably unaffected. However, by using high red (R) and blue (B) monochromatic lights in combination with lincomycin, we have uncovered a RS inhibition of length and a reduction in the B light-induced declination of the second leaf. Furthermore, we present data showing that seedlings grown in high B and R light display different non-photochemical quenching capacity. Our findings support the view that excess B and R light impact seedling photomorphogenesis differently to photoprotect and optimize the response to high-light stress.This article is part of the XXX ‘Retrograde signalling from endosymbiotic organelles'.

description: As part of the Kyoto agreement on limiting carbon emissions, from 2008 onwards an international market in auctionable carbon permits will be established. This raises the issue of whether trading should be simply between governments or between companies, or in the latter case how such permits should be allocated. Our paper uses the British section of a CGE model of the European energy sectors to evaluate the economics of various methods of allocating permits within a country, as discussed in Lord Marshall’s recent report to the British government. The option of allocation entirely by auction is similar to the setting of a carbon tax, and the recycling of revenues to reduce or offset other economic distortions could produce a potential net benefit to incomes and employment. 'Grandfathering' some of the permits free to large firms, according to their base year carbon emissions, would mean loss of the benefits of recycling auction revenues. This might be exacerbated if it created windfall profits repatriated by foreign shareholders. The third major alternative is to review the allocation regularly, awarding permits to all firms according to a ‘benchmark’ allocation, based on 'best practice' as estimated by outside experts. This would be similar in practice to recycling the revenue as an output subsidy to the industry, though it could be complicated to implement. Such a system could allow much of the potential ‘double dividend’ to be realised, though it might still be preferable to auction permits, with the revenues used to offset taxes across a wider spread of industry.
Spontaneous currents in a ferromagnet - normal metal - superconductor trilayer

description: We discuss the ground state properties of the system composed of a normal metal sandwiched between ferromagnet and superconductor within a tight binding Hubbard model. We have solved the spin-polarized Hartree-Fock-Gorkov equations together with the Maxwell's equation (Ampere's law) and found a proximity induced Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state in this system. Here we show that the inclusion of the normal metal layer in between those subsystems does not necessarily lead to the suppression of the FFLO phase. Moreover, we have found that depending on the thickness of the normal metal slab the system can be switched periodically between the state with the spontaneous current flowing to that one with no current. All these effects can be explained in terms of the Andreev bound states formed in such structures.

Electron Beams Cannot Directly Produce Coronal Rain

description: Coronal rain is ubiquitous in flare loops, forming shortly after the onset of the solar flare. Rain is thought to be caused by a thermal instability, a localized runaway cooling of material in the corona. The models that demonstrate this require extremely long duration heating on the order of the radiative cooling time, localized near the footpoints of the loops. In flares, electron beams are thought to be the primary energy transport mechanism, driving strong footpoint heating during the impulsive phase that causes evaporation, filling and heating flare loops. Electron beams, however, do not act for a long period of time, and even supposing that they did, their heating would not remain localized at the footpoints. With a series of numerical experiments, we show directly that these two issues mean that electron beams are incapable of causing the formation of rain in flare loops. This result suggests that either there is another mechanism acting in flare loops responsible for rain, or that the modeling of the cooling of flare loops is somehow deficient. To adequately describe flares, the standard model must address this issue to account for the presence of coronal rain.

If countries who have arrangements with the IMF are more likely than others to obtain a rescheduling of their external debt we could conclude that the adoption of an IMF programme could work as a sort of signal of a country’s “good willingness”, which is thus rewarded with the debt relief. The results con…rm the existence of a signi…cant e¤ect of the adoption of an IMF programme on the subsequent concession of a debt rescheduling by creditors.

description: Future colliders such as NLC and JLC will require a highly-polarized macropulse with charge that is more than an order of magnitude beyond that which could be produced for the SLC. The maximum charge from the SLC uniformly-doped GaAs photocathode was limited by the surface charge limit (SCL). The SCL effect can be overcome by using an extremely high (>1019 cm-3) surface dopant concentration. When combined with a medium dopant concentration in the majority of the active layer (to avoid depolarization), the surface concentration has been found to degrade during normal heat cleaning (1 hour at 600 C). The Be dopant as typically used in an MBE-grown superlattice cathode is especially susceptible to this effect compared to Zn or C dopant. Some relief can be found by lowering the cleaning temperature, but the long-term general solution appears to be atomic hydrogen cleaning.

 Material. Tasmania: QVMAG 23:21136, male, Tahune Bridge, DN 779 287, 43°05∞38S, 146°43∞42E, 60 m, K. Higgs, 14 August 1994.
 Discussion. A single male from southern Tasmania belongs to the P. (H.) cammooensis Group. The specimen is not a juvenile of the typical northwestern Tasmanian P. (Haasiella), P. (H.) subicolus. It has a well-developed gonopod, typical of an adult henicopid, whereas even larger specimens of P. (H.) subicolus (QVMAG 23:22967, 23:22971) have undifferentiated gonopods. The maxillipede resembles P. (H.) cammooensis in having a narrow, V-shaped dental margin with a prominent median notch and 4+4 strong teeth (all as in figure 4F). These are not juvenile characters of P. (H.) subicolus, in which even larvae (stadium LIV: TMAG J2144, 2145) have a relatively wide, subtransverse dental margin, lack a median notch, and have smaller teeth than in the P. (H.) cammooensis Group, and have a long pretarsal part of the forcipular tarsungulum. The Tasmanian specimen has a coxal pore count (1,2,2,2 / 1,1,2,2) exceeding any males of P. (H.) cammooensis. The most evident distinction from P. (H.) cammooensis is the relative strength of the setae on the legs, many of which have a spine-like form, notably on the prefemur of the posterior legs. Additional material is required to formalize the Tasmanian species.

As a typical example, he considered rheonomic nonholonomic deformation of the Euler equations which scleronomic version is equivalent to the nonholonomic Suslov system. For the Bilimovich system equations of motion are reduced to quadrature, which is discussed in rheonomic and scleronomic cases.

description: A countable CW complex $K$ is quasi-finite (as defined by A.Karasev) if for every finite subcomplex $M$ of $K$ there is a finite subcomplex $e(M)$ such that any map $f:A\to M$, where $A$ is closed in a separable metric space $X$ satisfying $XτK$, has an extension $g:X\to e(M)$. Levin's results imply that none of the Eilenberg-MacLane spaces $K(G,2)$ is quasi-finite if $G\ne 0$. In this paper we discuss quasi-finiteness of all Eilenberg-MacLane spaces. More generally, we deal with CW complexes with finitely many nonzero Postnikov invariants. Here are the main results of the paper: Suppose $K$ is a countable CW complex with finitely many nonzero Postnikov invariants. If $π_1(K)$ is a locally finite group and $K$ is quasi-finite, then $K$ is acyclic. Suppose $K$ is a countable non-contractible CW complex with finitely many nonzero Postnikov invariants. If $π_1(K)$ is nilpotent and $K$ is quasi-finite, then $K$ is extensionally equivalent to $S^1$.

description: In this paper we present a modified version of the CORS method based on a new calibration of the Surface Brightness function in the Stromgren photometric system. The method has been tested by means of synthetic light and radial velocity curves derived from nonlinear pulsation models. Detailed simulations have been performed to take into account the quality of real observed curves as well as possible shifts between photometric and radial velocity data. The method has been then applied to a sample of Galactic Cepheids with Stromgren photometry and radial velocity data to derive the radii and a new PR relation. As a result we find log R = (1.19 +- 0.09) + (0.74 +- 0.11) log P (r.m.s=0.07). The comparison between our result and previous estimates in the literature is satisfactory. Better results are expected from the adoption of improved model atmosphere grids.

The existence of a quasi-long range smectic order in BPSm phases breaks the cubic symmetry of classical blue phases. The symmetries of these new phases have been determined by X-ray scattering and optical polarizing microscopy experiments.

We review how these properties have pushed the limits of fundamental knowledge in a variety of scientific disciplines, from rejecting local-realistic theories to sensing superconducting phase transitions. In the light of recent progress in material processing and device fabrication, we identify new opportunities for interdisciplinary fundamental discoveries in physics and geochemistry.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Energy spectra of disordered systems share a common feature: if the entropy of the quenched disorder is larger than the entropy of the dynamical variables, the spectrum is locally that of a random energy model and the correlation between energy and configuration is lost. We demonstrate this effect for the Edwards-Anderson model, but we also discuss its universality.

 Heterolepisma dispar Uchida, 1944: 185.
 Heterolepisma dispar, a species inhabiting coastal cliffs from the Japanese Island of Honshu, appears, from the original description and illustrations, to share many of the unusual characters such as the macrochaetae along the anterior margin of the frons, the short urotergite X, the long, spaced urosternal combs and the long parameres. The chaetotaxy of urosternite I was not mentioned but the species shares so much of the unusual morphology of H. coralinium sp. nov. that it is likely to also possess a medial comb. Both species lack a glabrous anterior margin to the frons, both have a very broad ultimate article to the labial palp, urotergite X is greatly reduced and they have unusually long urosternal combs with widely spaced macrochaetae. These characters differentiate them from the remaining species with medial combs on urosternite I. However, the illustration of Uchida suggests that the pronotal collar is complete in H. dispar. This Japanese species is here provisionally transferred to the new genus.

description: We study the adsorption behavior of Ga on (0001) GaN surfaces combining experimental specular reflection high-energy electron diffraction with theoretical investigations in the framework of a kinetic model for adsorption and ab initio calculations of energy parameters. The measurement of a Ga/GaN adsorption isotherm allows the quantification of the equilibrium Ga surface coverage as a function of the impinging Ga flux. The temperature dependence is discussed within an {\em ab initio} based growth model for adsorption taking into account the nucleation of Ga clusters.

description: Uncertainty and confidence have been shown to be useful metrics in a wide variety of techniques proposed for deep learning testing, including test data selection and system supervision. We present uncertainty-wizard, a tool that allows to quantify such uncertainty and confidence in artificial neural networks. It is built on top of the industry-leading tf.keras deep learning API and it provides a near-transparent and easy-to-understand interface. At the same time, it includes major performance optimizations that we benchmarked on two different machines and different configurations.

description: We study formation of molecules in primordial prestellar clumps and evaluate the line luminosities to assess detectability by next-generation facilities. If the initial H_2 fraction is sufficiently high, HD becomes an important coolant in the clumps. The luminosity from such HD cooling clumps is lower than that from H_2 cooling ones because of lower temperature (<100K). As for Li reactions, we include the three-body LiH formation approximately. The Li molecular fraction remains very low (<10^{-3}) throughout the evolution owing to the high dissociative reaction rate of LiH +H -> Li + H_2. LiH does not become an important coolant in any density range. The luminous emission lines from the prestellar cores include H_2 rovibrational lines: 1-0 Q(1), 1-0 O(3), 1-0 O(5), and pure rotational lines: 0-0 S(3), 0-0 S(4), 0-0 S(5). The next-generation facilities SPICA and JWST are able to detect H_2 emission in a large pre-galactic cloud that forms metal-free stars at a high rate of \sim 10^3 M_s/yr at redshift z<10. We also derive an analytical expression for the luminosity that reproduces the numerical results.

description: Trotz ökonomischer Vorteile der ökologischen Erzeugung sind die Umstellungsraten auf die ökologische Landwirtschaft gering. Die Gründe für diese Zurückhaltung sind weitgehend ungeklärt. Wir untersuchen und vergleichen das Investitionsverhalten von ökologisch und konventionell wirtschaftenden Schweinehaltern experimentell. Dabei gehen wir der Frage nach, ob sich das Investitionsverhalten bei gleichbleibenden Bedingungen durch das Framing – der Beschreibung einer Investitionsmöglichkeit in die ökologische beziehungsweise konventionelle Wirtschaftsweise – verändert. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Schweinehalter bei der Investition in die nicht praktizierte Wirtschaftsweise zurückhaltender sind als bei einer Investition in die eigene Wirtschaftsweise. Außerdem investieren risikoscheuere und konventionelle Schweinehalter sowie Landwirte mit Hochschulabschluss später in einen Stallbau. Die Ergebnisse geben einen Hinweis darauf, dass Subventionen zur Förderung der Umstellung auf den ökologischen Landbau in ihrer Wirkung zur Förderung des Ökolandbaus überschätzt werden könnten. Despite the economic benefits of organic farming, the conversion rates to this production method are low. The reasons for this reluctance are largely unknown. We experimentally investigate and compare the investment behavior of organic and conventional pig farmers and examine the question whether the investment behavior changes ceteris paribus due to a varying framing – different description – of an investment possibility with organic or conventional farming. Our results show that pig farmers are more reluctant to invest in the production method which they are not currently applying compared to an investment in the production method in use on their farm. Conventional, risk-averse pig farmers and farmers who holding a university degree invest later in a hog barn. The results provide some evidence for that the effect of subsidies granted to encourage the conversion to organic farming is overestimated.

Neighborhood-based Pooling for Population-level Label Distribution Learning

description: Supervised machine learning often requires human-annotated data. While annotator disagreement is typically interpreted as evidence of noise, population-level label distribution learning (PLDL) treats the collection of annotations for each data item as a sample of the opinions of a population of human annotators, among whom disagreement may be proper and expected, even with no noise present. From this perspective, a typical training set may contain a large number of very small-sized samples, one for each data item, none of which, by itself, is large enough to be considered representative of the underlying population's beliefs about that item. We propose an algorithmic framework and new statistical tests for PLDL that account for sampling size. We apply them to previously proposed methods for sharing labels across similar data items. We also propose new approaches for label sharing, which we call neighborhood-based pooling.

Resonant Generation of Topological Modes in Trapped Bose Gases

description: Trapped Bose atoms cooled down to temperatures below the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature are considered. Stationary solutions to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) define the topological coherent modes, representing nonground-state Bose-Einstein condensates. These modes can be generated by means of alternating fields whose frequencies are in resonance with the transition frequencies between two collective energy levels corresponding to two different topological modes. The theory of resonant generation of these modes is generalized in several aspects: Multiple-mode formation is described; a shape-conservation criterion is derived, imposing restrictions on the admissible spatial dependence of resonant fields; evolution equations for the case of three coherent modes are investigated; the complete stability analysis is accomplished; the effects of harmonic generation and parametric conversion for the topological coherent modes are predicted. All considerations are realized both by employing approximate analytical methods as well as by numerically solving the GPE. Numerical solutions confirm all conclusions following from analytical methods.

description: In future, standard output (SO) will be the economic variable used to define the target population from which the Swiss FADN sample is drawn. This study assesses the impact of the SO threshold on key economic variables at national level. The analysis demonstrates that raising the SO threshold will lead to higher average values of key economic variables such as work income per family labour unit. This result is confirmed by two entirely different approaches, the first of which takes the FADN data into account, and the second of which considers census data supplemented by imputed economic variables. In Zukunft wird die Grundgesamtheit, aus welcher die Stichprobe des schweizerischen Informationsnetzes Landwirtschaftlicher Buchführungen (INLB) gezogen wird, mithilfe des Standardoutputs (SO) definiert. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht den Einfluss des SOSchwellenwertes auf den nationalen Mittelwert einiger wichtiger ökonomischer Variablen. Die Analyse zeigt, dass eine Zunahme der SO-Schwellenwerte zur Abgrenzung der Grundgesamtheit zu einer Erhöhung der Mittelwerte ökonomischer Parameter (z.B. Arbeitsverdienst pro Familienarbeitskraft) führt. Dieses Resultat wird durch zwei unterschiedliche Vorgehensweisen gestützt, wobei die erste auf den Daten des INLB beruht, während die zweite auf Daten der landwirtschaftlichen Strukturdatenerhebung und interpolierten ökonomischen Parametern basiert.
