Do you trade with your friends or become friends with your trading partners? A case study in the G1 cryptocurrency

description: We study the interplay between social ties and financial transactions made through a recent cryptocurrency called $\breve{G}1$. It has the particularity of combining the usual transaction record with a reliable network of identified users. This gives the opportunity to observe exactly who sent money to whom over a social network. This social network is a key piece of this cryptocurrency, which therefore puts much effort in ensuring that nodes correspond to unique, well identified, real living human users, linked together only if they met at least once in real world. Using this data, we study how social ties impact the structure of transactions and conversely. We show that users make transactions almost exclusively with people they are connected with in the social network. Instead, they tend to build social connections with people they will never make transactions with.
Estimating probabilities from experimental frequencies

description: Estimating the probability distribution 'q' governing the behaviour of a certain variable by sampling its value a finite number of times most typically involves an error. Successive measurements allow the construction of a histogram, or frequency count 'f', of each of the possible outcomes. In this work, the probability that the true distribution be 'q', given that the frequency count 'f' was sampled, is studied. Such a probability may be written as a Gibbs distribution. A thermodynamic potential, which allows an easy evaluation of the mean Kullback-Leibler divergence between the true and measured distribution, is defined. For a large number of samples, the expectation value of any function of 'q' is expanded in powers of the inverse number of samples. As an example, the moments, the entropy and the mutual information are analyzed.

description: Regarding some regulation fields, such as optimal investments and pricing policies, marginal cost estimations for infrastructure intensive transport services is always a challenging effort in order to provide some basis for important areas of economic regulation. The lack of comparable data among airports is one of the causes which could explain the relative scarcity of this literature in the previous studies. In this paper, we estimate different specifications and methods, using mono and multi product translog specifications and a technical efficiency stochastic frontier. We also estimate long and short run cost functions, using a pooled database of financial data on 41 airports across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia for the period 1991-2005. We find significant economies of scale using Work Load Units (WLU) and Air Traffic Movements (ATM) as output measures. Additionally, we provide individual long and short run marginal costs estimates for each output measure, and for every airport under study. The variability of our marginal cost estimations lead us to further deviate from the assumption of neoclassical theory, and to study the existence of some important levels of inefficiency regarding airports performance. For this reason, we consider the stochastic frontier analysis which partially solves this matter.

description: The paper involves an econometric analysis of congestion pricing at the bridges and tunnels operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ). Using a fixed effects model, we pool all facilities to evaluate the impacts of the congestion pricing structure in effect since March 2001. We find significant impacts for autos, but need to confront a counter-intuitive finding : cash paying vehicles, who do not benefits from off-peak discounts, are also estimated to be impacted. Using a unique data set on queueing at the facilities, we are able to control for "peak spreading", and find the pricing effect greatly reduced. By further controlling for endogeneity with an instrumental variables estimator, we find that the price effect on cash paying vehicles entirely disappears. These results confirm the hypothesis that congestion pricing has had an important impact on conditions at the PANYNJ facilities. Taking a weighted average of the changes by crossing for autos, it is estimated that value pricing led to a shift in EZ-Pass-using vehicles from the morning peak equal to 6.5% and in the evening peak 2.2%. Note that this result is heavily influenced by patterns at the George Washington Bridge, which accounts for over 50 percent of EZ-Pass-using autos.

description:

This paper aims at providing a first research on the autobiography of the Venetian farmer Liberale Medici (1922-2016). The Medici’s work crossed the boundaries of private writing by winning the Premio Pieve in 1988, and, consequently, with its first publication, entitled Schola cantorum (Rome: Edizioni Live, 1989). Recently, it has been also comprehended in the anthology La vita è sogno (Milan: il Saggiatore, 2016). After highlighting the main linguistic features of this autobiography, the analysis focuses on its metaphorical devices, in order to survey its figurative language.

Il volume si presenta come strumento per orientare il Giudice nazionale nello studio e nell?approfondimento delle problematiche antitrust comunitarie relative all?azione di risarcimento del danno. La modernizzazione del diritto comunitario della concorrenza affida ai Giudici nazionali un ruolo di primissimo piano per garantire l?effettivit� delle regole antitrust nel mercato comune. Spetta ai Giudici nazionali, nel risolvere le controversie tra privati, tutelare i diritti attribuiti dal Trattato ai singoli operatori economici ed ai consumatori applicando direttamente le regole comunitarie. Comprendere la struttura del mercato concorrenziale, conoscere approfonditamente la normativa (sostanziale e procedurale) comunitaria, oltre che i recenti orientamenti della Commissione Europea e della giurisprudenza delle Corti comunitarie in materia di accordi restrittivi della concorrenza e di abuso di posizione dominante, diventano dunque qualit� essenziali per ogni Giudice nazionale.

description: We find concrete evidence for a recently discovered form of intermittency, referred to as in--out intermittency, in both PDE and ODE models of mean field dynamos. This type of intermittency (introduced in Ashwin et al 1999) occurs in systems with invariant submanifolds and, as opposed to on--off intermittency which can also occur in skew product systems, it requires an absence of skew product structure. By this we mean that the dynamics on the attractor intermittent to the invariant manifold cannot be expressed simply as the dynamics on the invariant subspace forcing the transverse dynamics; the transverse dynamics will alter that tangential to the invariant subspace when one is far enough away from the invariant manifold. Since general systems with invariant submanifolds are not likely to have skew product structure, this type of behaviour may be of physical relevance in a variety of dynamical settings. The models employed here to demonstrate in--out intermittency are axisymmetric mean--field dynamo models which are often used to study the observed large scale magnetic variability in the Sun and solar-type stars. The occurrence of this type of intermittency in such models may be of interest in understanding some aspects of such variabilities.

description: Il volume sviluppa un?ampia riflessione sulla medicina e la sanit� praticate nel territorio trentino del XVI secolo, gettando luce sulle tendenze cultural-scientifiche di allora, e sulle attivit� dei diversi professionisti coinvolti, medici-fisici e chirurghi. La prima sezione si focalizza sul serrato dialogo tra medicina dotta e medicina ?popolare?, che traspare nella cultura del principe-vescovo Bernardo Cles, e che trova un terreno d?incontro particolarmente fertile nella sfaccettata letteratura dei segreti. La seconda parte indaga gli aspetti socio-professionali dell?ars medendi, lasciando emergere sia le difficolt� che connotavano i rapporti tra professionisti della cura da una parte e pazienti dall?altra, sia gli aspetti pi� concreti della pratica clinica, in un territorio che nel Cinquecento non conosceva ancora il Collegium medicum-physicum, ed era dotato di strutture assistenziali ancora molto limitate. Esplorando una dimensione fino a oggi poco conosciuta, e dando voce ad attori storici rimasti nell?ombra, il volume segue i parametri della pi� aggiornata storiografia, che guarda al sapere medico della prima et� moderna come a una scienza estremamente complessa e stratificata, e concepisce l?ars medendi come una professione soggetta a molteplici spinte socio-culturali.

description: We show that optical excitation of the Mott insulating phase of the one-dimensional Hubbard model can create a state possessing two of the hallmarks of superconductivity: a nonvanishing charge stiffness and long-ranged pairing correlation. By employing the exact diagonalization method, we find that the superposition of the $η$-pairing eigenstates induced by the optical pump exhibits a nonvanishing charge stiffness and a pairing correlation that decays very slowly with system size in sharp contrast to the behavior of an ensemble of thermally excited eigenstates, which has a vanishing charge stiffness and no long-ranged pairing correlations. We show that the charge stiffness is indeed directly associated with the $η$-pairing correlation in the Hubbard model. Our finding demonstrates that optical pumping can actually lead to superconducting-like properties on the basis of the $η$-pairing states.

description: We derive the number density evolution of massive field galaxies in the redshift range 0.4 < z < 1.2 using the K-band selected field galaxy sample from the Munich Near-IR Cluster Survey (MUNICS). We rely on spectroscopically calibrated photometric redshifts to determine distances and absolute magnitudes in the rest-frame K-band. To assign mass-to-light ratios, we use an approach which maximizes the stellar mass for any K-band luminosity at any redshift. We take the mass-to-light ratio, M/L_K, of a Simple Stellar Population (SSP) which is as old as the universe at the galaxy's redshift as a likely upper limit. This is the most extreme case of pure luminosity evolution and in a more realistic model M/L_K will probably decrease faster with redshift due to increased star formation. We compute the number density of galaxies more massive than 2 10^10 h^-2 solar masses, 5 10^10 h^-2 solar masses, and 1 10^11 h^-2 solar masses, finding that the integrated stellar mass function is roughly constant for the lowest mass limit and that it decreases with redshift by a factor of roughly 3 and by a factor of roughly 6 for the two higher mass limits, respectively. This finding is in qualitative agreement with models of hierarchical galaxy formation, which predict that the number density of ~ M* objects is fairly constant while it decreases faster for more massive systems over the redshift range our data probe.

Con la guerra la parola decade a chiacchiera, a giornalismo parolaio, xenofobo e nazionalista. A ci� si aggiunge la menzogna di una cultura ?cristiana? che ha accettato di benedire i cannoni di tutte le armate contrapposte. L?entusiasmo con cui i popoli europei si sono improvvisamente gettati in una guerra gigantesca, secondo Ebner, va compreso �come un suicidio collettivo� senza precedenti. Con la sua umile filosofia della parola e dell?incontro Ebner rimane immune dalle trionfanti filosofie nazionalistiche della guerra, che invece vengono fatte proprie da molti raffinati intellettuali e scrittori europei.

description: A recent issue impacting freight shipments in Washington State involves the reduction of container services at the Port of Portland, Oregon. Prior to this change, export containers filled with hay were shipped almost exclusively via barge down the Columbia River to the Port of Portland. After reaching Portland, the containers were then loaded onto one of three ocean container lines: Hyundai, K-Line, or Hanjin and destined to markets in Japan and China. As of September 2004, Hanjin is the only remaining carrier that calls at the Port of Portland. This research effort has collected firm level data on the production, transportation and marketing of hay in Washington and incorporates this information in the design and development of a transportation optimization model of regional hay movements. This model is then utilized to evaluate industry shifts in transportation usage and modal choice in reaction due to these industry changes after September 2004. The results indicate that after all barge and hay shipments are eliminated into Portland, region-wide transportation costs actually decrease initially overall, while some individual producers experience increased shipping costs. Both rail and truck volumes increase substantially in the absence of container shipments on barge. The total industry impact is a $6.3 million increase in transportation costs from the Base Scenario to Scenario 3. Also, once truck rates are allowed to increase due to the shortage of trucks and the increased demand for truck services, the total transportation cost increases by $8.7 million. As trucking rates increase due to the increased demand for trucking services, the industry transportation cost does increase to $47.5 million, a 15 percent increase from Scenario one and a 22 percent increase from Scenario two. While this increase is significant, it is not as severe or adverse as previously expected throughout the Pacific Northwest agricultural and hay industry. As expected, there is greater reliance on rail and truck transportation once barge shipments to Portland are eliminated.

description: Motion estimation of organs in a sequence of images is important in numerous medical imaging applications. The focus of this paper is the analysis of 4D Respiratory Correlated Computed Tomography (RCCT) Imaging. It is hypothesized that the quasi-periodic breathing induced motion of organs in the thorax can be represented by deformations spanning a very low dimension subspace of the full infinite dimensional space of diffeomorphic transformations. This paper presents a novel motion estimation algorithm that includes the constraint for low-rank motion between the different phases of the RCCT images. Low-rank deformation solutions are necessary for the efficient statistical analysis and improved treatment planning and delivery. Although the application focus of this paper is RCCT the algorithm is quite general and applicable to various motion estimation problems in medical imaging.
Fate of the first traversible wormhole: black-hole collapse or inflationary expansion

description: We study numerically the stability of Morris & Thorne's first traversible wormhole, shown previously by Ellis to be a solution for a massless ghost Klein-Gordon field. Our code uses a dual-null formulation for spherically symmetric space-time integration, and the numerical range covers both universes connected by the wormhole. We observe that the wormhole is unstable against Gaussian pulses in either exotic or normal massless Klein-Gordon fields. The wormhole throat suffers a bifurcation of horizons and either explodes to form an inflationary universe or collapses to a black hole, if the total input energy is respectively negative or positive. As the perturbations become small in total energy, there is evidence for critical solutions with a certain black-hole mass or Hubble constant. The collapse time is related to the initial energy with an apparently universal critical exponent. For normal matter, such as a traveller traversing the wormhole, collapse to a black hole always results. However, carefully balanced additional ghost radiation can maintain the wormhole for a limited time. The black-hole formation from a traversible wormhole confirms the recently proposed duality between them. The inflationary case provides a mechanism for inflating, to macroscopic size, a Planck-sized wormhole formed in space-time foam.

description: Die Normalisierung von sogenanntem Penetrations- bzw. Circlusionssex hat für Menschen, die wegen vaginaler Schmerzen diese Sexualpraktik nicht umsetzen können oder wollen, verschiedene negative Folgen. Im Rahmen der Thesis findet eine Kontextualisierung statt, die diese Erfahrungen nicht nur auf individuelle Aspekte beschränkt, sondern auch ihre Beeinflussung durch heteronormative Sexualvorstellungen berücksichtigt. Dieses Verständnis ermöglicht die Identifikation emanzipativer Umgangsstrategien mit den Schmerzen, wie der Austausch unter Betroffenen. Das Internet und damit auch die Plattform YouTube sind zentrale Räume eines solchen, kollektiven Erfahrungsaustauschs und bieten diverse emanzipative Potenziale. Die Thesis knüpft daran an und analysiert mittels strukturierender qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse nach Kuckartz sechs YouTube-Videos von Betroffenen inklusive dazugehöriger Kommentaren hinsichtlich Erfahrungen und Umgangsstrategien bei Schmerzen beim Circlusionssex. Die Analyse der Videos zeigt, dass die Schmerzerfahrungen neben körperlichen auch psychische und emotionale Aspekte umfassen. Unter den thematisierten Strategien sind besonders die Reflexion bestehender Sexualvorstellungen und -erwartungen, Exploration und Kommunikation eigener sexueller Bedürfnisse, Erweiterung der sexuellen Handlungsfähigkeit und Abgrenzungskompetenz als emanzipativ hervorzuheben. Im kollektiven Erfahrungsaustausch auf YouTube konnten neben der Darstellung dieser Strategien zusätzlich die Potenziale der Identifikation, Solidarität und Reflexion sowie des Erfahrungs- und Wissensaustauschs identifiziert werden. In der Sexualberatung und -therapie kann er für die Erfahrungen der Betroffenen sensibilisieren, als Instrument im Prozess genutzt werden oder Anlass für die eigene fachliche Mitgestaltung der öffentlichen Thematisierung sein.

Creators: name: Božin, Nera
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: Successful interpretation of referential communication requires understanding of mental states of others, or theory of mind. This thesis explored how children use their developing theory of mind to understand ambiguous referential expressions and ambiguous drawings. By identifying analogies between children's comprehension of verbal language and drawings, this thesis confirmed that drawings can be used as communicative symbols. Chapter 4 provided evidence that children's interpretation of drawings, parallel to understanding verbal expressions, requires inferring artist's mental states. Moreover, chapter 5 showed additional parallels with verbal language, showing that children generalise the meaning of ambiguous drawings in communication to the category of the drawn referent, which also reflected children's adherence to the artist's initial intent. Contrastingly, Chapters 3 and 6 together demonstrated children's and adults' egocentric interpretation of symbols, showing that they are not sensitive to partner-specific meaning of the ambiguous symbol. The inconsistencies in children's and adults' utilization of their mindreading skills in communication in different empirical chapters call for assessing the benefit of considering others' mental states in particular communicative contexts. The findings contributed to the understanding of how children and adults resolve the meaning of ambiguous symbols and coordinate simultaneous perspectives. Moreover, they showed the richness and complexity of using mindreading skills in interaction with others. Future research of communication with ambiguous symbols should consider the interplay of communicative context, the benefit of considering others' mental states, and executive function skills.

description: In today market, traditional project management structure and methodologies have proven to be inadequate for responding to business requirement and achieving competitive advantages. Disruptive technologies altered business values and new business models shaped. Day after day, the number of connected things increased, and the Internet of things develop intensely. Most industries affected by the Internet of things and other disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics. Innovative organisations tried to adapt to new changes quickly because disruptive technologies become an integral component of industries and business. It plays a vital role in enhancing business value, customer loyalty and economic benefits. Thus, by considering project management importance for reaching business success, organisations encourage to use more adaptable methods like agile, scrum, and Kanban to manage their projects instead of the classic approach. However, despite development in project management methodologies and applications, the challenges remain as before. These challenges declined the success and productivity rate, and most of the projects didn't meet the desired objectives. The clear understating of opportunities and threats of the Internet of things provide an opportunity for organisations to achieve competitive advantages. Applying the Internet of things technology into the project managing process helps business owners dominate the current challenges of project management. Research purpose is assessing the effect of the Internet of things on the future of project management and analysing the positive effect of IoT on the development of project management. Furthermore, identifying the changes that will happen by using IoT, predicting future challenges and utilising opportunities. The results of the survey questionnaires obtained from 108 respondents via the probability sampling method. The data analysed descriptively and inferentially to assess the research hypotheses of the study. The study findings reveal a sustainable relationship between the Internet of things and project management development. It means the Internet of things will alter project management methods, and it may create a new strategy for managing projects. The analysis results depict that organisations stakeholders recognised the importance of using IoT in their process, especially managing projects and utilising data analytics tools. The Internet of things make available an opportunity for eliminating current challenges of managing projects such as real-time observations, preventing reporting delay, and collaborative space for all project stakeholders. Decision-makers enable to enhance business values by utilising enormous data obtained from IoT applications and tools

description: We consider a semilinear parabolic partial differential equation in $\mathbf{R}_+\times [0,1]^d$, where $d=1, 2$ or $3$, with a highly oscillating random potential and either homogeneous Dirichlet or Neumann boundary condition. If the amplitude of the oscillations has the right size compared to its typical spatiotemporal scale, then the solution of our equation converges to the solution of a deterministic homogenised parabolic PDE, which is a form of law of large numbers. Our main interest is in the associated central limit theorem. Namely, we study the limit of a properly rescaled difference between the initial random solution and its LLN limit. In dimension $d=1$, that rescaled difference converges as one might expect to a centred Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. However, in dimension $d=2$, the limit is a non-centred Gaussian process, while in dimension $d=3$, before taking the CLT limit, we need to subtract at an intermediate scale the solution of a deterministic parabolic PDE, subject (in the case of Neumann boundary condition) to a non-homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. Our proofs make use of the theory of regularity structures, in particular of the very recently developed methodology allowing to treat parabolic PDEs with boundary conditions within that theory.

title: Design and synthesis of novel amphiphilic calixarenes, amphiphilic urea sulfonate salts and fluorescent anion receptors.
Creators: name: Taylor, Faith Rebecca
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: Antimicrobial resistance has become a growing threat over the last decade to the health and safety of the human populous, with the task of developing new antimicrobials having become the responsibility of academic researchers. Current antimicrobials are largely based on those that interact with specific proteins, but these are becoming increasingly less and less effective as microbials develop resistance to the antimicrobials currently in circulation. Work published by Hiscock et al. has developed a novel class of amphiphilic antimicrobials that target the phospholipid membrane rather than common protein targets. Building on the past work within the Hiscock group and extending this research is the basis for the work described herein. Amphiphilic antimicrobial calix[4]arene derived compounds have been synthesised and amphiphilic urea-sulfonate salts have been designed, the properties of which have been studied in the solid, liquid and gas states. The study of the urea-sulfonate salts in the solid state showed that the compound tends to form extended structures with several different binding modes. In the gas phase, low level complexes are visible which indicate the bonds formed between the structures are strong as they survive the experimental conditions. Studies in the solution state show that the compounds form larger structures in DMSO, whilst one compound formed larger structures in an H2O: EtOH 19:1 solution. The results obtained thus far prove the compounds to be amphiphilic, but do not indicate antimicrobial activity, so, further study is required. The detection of anions in the environment is an ever-growing concern in modern society as the world becomes more aware of the impact that anionic pollutants are having upon the Earth. Anionic receptors are molecules designed to detect, respond to, and recognise species carrying a negative charge. The application of anionic receptors to modern day science is varied and includes organocatalysts which may be catalysed through hydrogen bond formation, in the separation of anionic mixtures in industrial or radioactive waste as well as applications in biology, for the treatment of ion channel based diseases such as cystic fibrosis.1 Novel fluorescent anionic receptors have been designed and synthesised based on works published by Hiscock et al., with properties studied in the solid, liquid and gas state also. Studies in the solid state showed the formation of intramolecular bonds with two of the compounds synthesised, along with the formation of intermolecular bonds between one compound and water that is used to stabilise the extended crystal structure. In the gas phase, one compound showed the presence of low-level complexes. In the solution state all the receptors detected the presence of anions and showed selectivity to specific anions also, where the order of selectivity showed an inverse in the Hofmeister series.

description: For directions of sufficcient reddening (E(B-V) >~ 0.25), there is a simple relation between the slope of the extinction curve in the far-UV and E(B-V). Regardless of direction, the far-UV extinction curve is proportional to 1/lambda^n exp(-2e(B-V)/lambda) (lambda in micron, n = 4), in accordance with the idea that reddened stars spectra are contaminated by scattered light (Zagury, 2001b). This relation is not compatible with the standard theory of extinction which states that far-UV and visible extinctions are due to different classes of grains. In the standard theory model the two (far-UV and visible) extinctions vary thus independently according to the proportion of each type of grains. In preceding papers I have shown that the standard theory cannot explain UV observations of nebulae, and is contradicted by the UV spectra of stars with very low reddening: for how long shall the standard theory be considered as the interpretation of the extinction curve?

description: For container ports and their terminals to remain competitive and to handle the anticipated growth there are huge challenges to increase their productivity, to reduce the spatial pressure and congestion and to improve their hinterland accessibility. These challenges support the idea to consider or reconsider port concepts aimed at a different philosophy regarding hinterland transport operations. This operating approach assumes that the ‘port entry’ is shifted to an inland location. This location acts as a regional collection and distribution point for trucking operations, but should also be equipped to provide a rapid transfer to and from the port, to support a fast movement of containers through the port, and to avoid long storage in the port. The shift of ‘port entry’ can be accompanied by moving - beside container storage - also a number of other activities to an inland site that traditionally take place in the seaport, such as stuffing and stripping and warehousing, but possibly also customs clearance. This paper explores the opportunities of such a hinterland transport concept for the port of Rotterdam by focusing on the type of transport system to operate this hinterland concept. It discusses the possibilities and limitations to use existing conventional intermodal modes, i.e. rail and barge transport, and evaluates the potential role of new transport technologies in such a hinterland transport concept.
A Local Effective Action for Photon-Gravity Interactions

description: Quantum phenomena such as vacuum polarisation in curved spacetime induce interactions between photons and gravity with quite striking consequences, including the violation of the strong equivalence principle and the apparent prediction of `superluminal' photon propagation. These quantum interactions can be encoded in an effective action. In this paper, we extend previous results on the effective action for QED in curved spacetime due to Barvinsky, Vilkovisky and others and present a new, local effective action valid to all orders in a derivative expansion, as required for a full analysis of the quantum theory of high-frequency photon propagation in gravitational fields.

description: An experiment was conducted with or without addition of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) at different stocking densities in a polyculture system. The polyculture consists of catla, rohu, silver carp, prawn and mola at a stocking density of 10, 30, 30, 40 and 100, respectively in 100m2 ponds in each treatment with three replications. In treatment T0, no tilapia was added; in treatment T10 and T20 tilapia were added at 10% and 20% of total number of catla, rohu, silver carp and prawn, respectively. Formulated feed was given twice daily (8.00 h and 16.00 h) at the rate of 1.5% body weight throughout the culture period. Water quality analysis showed that the mean values of water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, ammonia-nitrogen, nitrite-nitrogen, nitrate-nitrogen, phosphate-phosphorus, chlorophyll-a were not significantly different among the treatments. Water transparency was found significantly different (P<0.05) among the experiments. A total of 45 genera of phytoplankton and 13 genera of zooplankton were identified from the pond water. The abundance of macrobenthic organisms was mostly dominated by Chironomidae. There was no significant difference in the total abundance of benthos among the treatments. The combined net yield increased significantly with the increasing stocking density of tilapia. A simple economic analysis revealed that higher cost-benefit ratio was obtained in treatment T20 followed by treatment T10 and treatment T0. Therefore, it is concluded that the polyculture of carp, prawn and mola with 20% tilapia may be a better option considering the production and economic benefits.

Self-doped Mott insulator for parent compounds of nickelate superconductors

description: We propose the parent compound of the newly discovered superconducting nickelate Nd$_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$NiO$_{2}$ as a self-doped Mott insulator, in which the low-density Nd-$5d$ conduction electrons couple to localized Ni-3$% d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$ electrons to form Kondo spin singlets at low temperatures. This proposal is motivated with our analyses of the reported resistivity and Hall coefficient data in the normal state, showing logarithmic temperature dependence at low temperatures. In the strong Kondo coupling limit, we derive a generalized $t$-$J$ model with both Kondo singlets and nickel holons moving through the lattice of otherwise nickel spin-1/2 background. The antiferromagnetic long-range order is therefore suppressed as observed in experiments. With Sr-doping, the number of holons on the nickel sites increases, giving rise to the superconductivity and a strange metal phase analogous to those in superconducting copper oxides.
