description: Observing an unknown $n$-variables function $f(t), tin [0,1]^n$ in the white Gaussian noise of a level $e>0$. We suppose that there exist $1$-periodical (in each variable) $sigma$-smooth extensions of functions $f(t)$ on $R^n$ and $f$ belongs to a Sobolev ball, i.e., $ f _sigma,2leq 1$, where $ cdot _sigma,2$ is a Sobolev norm (we consider two variants of one). We study two problem: estimation of $f$ and testing of the null hypothesis $H_0: f=0$ against alternatives $ f _2geq r_e$. We study the asymptotics (as $eto 0, ntoinfty$) of the minimax risk for square losses, for estimation problem, and of minimax error probabilities and of minimax separation rates in the detection problem. We show that of $ntoinfty$, then there exist ``sharp separation rates'' in the detection problem. The asymptotics of minimax risks of estimation and of separation rates of testing are of different type for $nll loge^-1$ and for $ngg loge^-1$. The problems under consideration are closely related with ``lattice problem'' in the numerical theory.

description: This paper identifies forecasts of exceptions in product or service demand (i.e., large changes or extreme values) as a special need in forecasting, requiring new forecast accuracy measures based on the tails of sampled forecast error distributions. For this purpose, the paper introduces application of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) framework, which has been used to assess exceptional behavior or cases in many fields. The “exception principle” of management reporting provides the corresponding forecast requirements. Seasonality estimates in univariate forecast models and leading independent variables in multivariate forecast models are among the approaches to forecasting exceptions. In a case study on serious violent crime in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania across small sub-areas of the city, the simplest, nonnaïve univariate forecast method is best for forecasting ordinary conditions, as found in previous research using conventional forecast accuracy measures, but the most complex multivariate model is best for forecasting exceptional conditions, using ROC forecast accuracy measures.

description: La oratoria, entendida como el arte de hablar con elocuencia, jugó un papel esencial en la España del siglo XIX y se concretó como género literario en forma de discursos, conferencias y sermones. A raíz de la revolución liberal de 1868 (“La Gloriosa”), la oratoria experimentó un claro auge tanto en el ámbito político como en el religioso. De hecho, a juzgar por los numerosísimos tratados de oratoria sagrada publicados a lo largo del siglo XIX, parece evidente que la Iglesia era consciente de la importancia de la retórica como arma idónea para combatir el materialismo y el avance de la secularización de la sociedad que acompañaban al espíritu revolucionario.1 Al igual que ocurriera en otras partes de Europa, donde también se produjeron revoluciones liberales similares a “La Gloriosa,” la Iglesia española tuvo que adaptarse a la nueva realidad de una sociedad cada vez más laica y también más anticlerical.

Creators: name: Gómez, María Asunción

description: La figura de la nodriza tiene una larga tradición en la literatura universal. Sus primeras apariciones se remontan a la Grecia clásica—recordemos, por ejemplo, a Euriclea, nodriza de Ulises en La Odisea—y llegan hasta la actualidad con obras como La nodriza (2007), una novela histórica en que María Vallejo-Nájera presenta la vida de la reina María Antonieta desde la perspectiva de Lala, su ama de cría.1 La importancia de este personaje a nivel literario es reflejo del significativo papel socio-económico que las nodrizas tuvieron en ciertas épocas en que la supervivencia de los lactantes de las clases acomodadas dependía de estas mujeres—por lo general campesinas y obreras—que ofrecían la leche de sus pechos a cambio de dinero. Al igual que ocurriera en el resto de Europa, a partir del Renacimiento, y muy especialmente desde el siglo XIX, la práctica de contratar a nodrizas se extiende en España y estas comienzan a tener un papel destacado en la sociedad y en el discurso médico.2 El interés histórico, económico y antropológico que genera la lactancia asalariada es debido en gran medida a que la leche de la nodriza no es solo un alimento esencial en la nutrición y el desarrollo infantil, sino también “un fluido corporal biológico capaz de generar imaginarios y representaciones simbólicas que se usarán para la construcción de identidades y establecer relaciones entre los individuos” (Soler 3). La figura del ama de cría posibilita que, además de las relaciones de parentesco creadas por la sangre, se establezca el parentesco de leche, el cual une a dos familias—pertenecientes, por lo general, a dos ambientes y dos clases sociales dispares— mediante unos fuertes vínculos de dependencia, pues la vida de los hijos de la clase más alta queda a merced de una persona de clase inferior. De esta manera, la figura de la nodriza tiene un potencial transgresor pues su sola presencia puede desestabilizar las jerarquías de clase y las relaciones de poder que existen entre los amos y otros miembros del servicio.

description: The Newton-Raphson basins of attraction, associated with the libration points (attractors), are revealed in the pseudo-Newtonian planar circular restricted three-body problem, where the primaries have equal masses. The parametric variation of the position as well as of the stability of the equilibrium points is determined, when the value of the transition parameter $ε$ varies in the interval $[0,1]$. The multivariate Newton-Raphson iterative scheme is used to determine the attracting domains on several types of two-dimensional planes. A systematic and thorough numerical investigation is performed in order to demonstrate the influence of the transition parameter on the geometry of the basins of convergence. The correlations between the basins of attraction and the corresponding required number of iterations are also illustrated and discussed. Our numerical analysis strongly indicates that the evolution of the attracting regions in this dynamical system is an extremely complicated yet very interesting issue.

description: We review the general aspects of the concept of temperature in equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Although temperature is an old and well-established notion, it still presents controversial facets. After a short historical survey of the key role of temperature in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, we tackle a series of issues which have been recently reconsidered. In particular, we discuss different definitions and their relevance for energy fluctuations. The interest in such a topic has been triggered by the recent observation of negative temperatures in condensed matter experiments. Moreover, the ability to manipulate systems at the micro and nano-scale urges to understand and clarify some aspects related to the statistical properties of small systems (as the issue of temperature's "fluctuations"). We also discuss the notion of temperature in a dynamical context, within the theory of linear response for Hamiltonian systems at equilibrium and stochastic models with detailed balance, and the generalised fluctuation-response relations, which provide a hint for an extension of the definition of temperature in far-from-equilibrium systems. To conclude we consider non-Hamiltonian systems, such as granular materials, turbulence and active matter, where a general theoretical framework is still lacking.

description: We present an approach for achieving a natural, efficient gait on bipedal robots using straightened legs and toe-off. Our algorithm avoids complex height planning by allowing a whole-body controller to determine the straightest possible leg configuration at run-time. The controller solutions are biased towards a straight leg configuration by projecting leg joint angle objectives into the null-space of the other quadratic program motion objectives. To allow the legs to remain straight throughout the gait, toe-off was utilized to increase the kinematic reachability of the legs. The toe-off motion is achieved through underconstraining the foot position, allowing it to emerge naturally. We applied this approach of under-specifying the motion objectives to the Atlas humanoid, allowing it to walk over a variety of terrain. We present both experimental and simulation results and discuss performance limitations and potential improvements.

description: A new general stochastic-deterministic approach for a numerical solution of boundary value problems of potential and elasticity theories is suggested. It is based on the use of the Poisson-like integral formulae for overlapping spheres. An equivalent system of integral equations is derived and then approximated by a system of linear algebraic equations. We develop two classes of special Monte Carlo iterative methods for solving these systems of equations which are a kind of stochastic versions of the Chebyshev iteration method and successive overrelaxation method (SOR). In the case of classical potential theory this approach accelerates the convergence of the well known Random Walk on Spheres method (RWS). What is however much more important, this approach suggests a first construction of a fast convergent finite-variance Monte Carlo method for the system of Lamé equations.

description: Affordable and subsidized housing providers must design and implement housing strategies: where, when and with what types of housing to best meet the needs of low- and moderate-income households for affordable/low-cost permanent shelter. Recent research has proposed a multiobjective integer programming model for this purpose that jointly optimizes measures of net social benefit and equity and addresses limited variations in housing characteristics. In this paper, we extend the affordable housing planning model to better reflect current research and practice in affordable housing and better meet the needs of affordable housing providers. First, we allow for scale impacts in net social benefits and provision costs that result in a discontinuous, piecewise-linear net social benefit objective. Second, we define alternative nonlinear social equity objectives that better capture social concerns associated with increased class and residential integration. Computational results indicate that these affordable housing model variants are computationally tractable and provide substantial planning flexibility in both decision space and objective space. Planning models incorporating equity objectives that minimize the maximum negative impacts on potential destination communities and minimize variance in impacts on labor markets provide the greatest policy insights.

Creators: name: González-Contreras, Melissa
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi (15 de noviembre de 1776 — 21 de junio de 1827) es una de las figuras emblemáticas de las letras mexicanas del siglo XIX, una que logra plasmar en sus textos el naciente sentimiento de nacionalidad que surge a raíz de las crecientes facciones entre los habitantes de la Nueva España y que desemboca en la independencia de ésta de la Corona española. Lilian Álvarez de Testa señala la interconexión entre la carrera literaria y la carrera política a lo largo de la vida de Fernández de Lizardi. Por un lado, enfatiza el doble proceso de identidad política: la búsqueda y construcción de la identidad de la nación mexicana (82). Por su parte, la carrera literaria del autor, “desde el principio estuvo marcada por las ambigüedades de su carrera política. […] [L]a fuerza motriz de la escritura de nuestro autor fue su sentido cívico” (83). La permanente relación e influencia que una de estas áreas ejerce sobre la otra se constata en su pensamiento y sus escritos. Todo lo anterior cobra relevancia al relacionar la vida del autor con las circunstancias sociohistóricas y políticas del momento. De 1776 a 1808, si bien se entrevé un fenómeno de debilitamiento, sigue imperando en la Nueva España el orden del sistema colonial. Le sigue más de una década de luchas en pos de la independencia del territorio (1808-1821) que culmina con la llegada del primer criollo al poder, Agustín de Iturbide Arámburu (1783-1824): Agustín I. Finalmente, durante los últimos cinco años de su vida, Fernández de Lizardi ve al país constituirse en una República Federal y dar sus primeros pasos como nación independiente (Raffi- Béroud 13). Las cambiantes circunstancias, marcadas por los mencionados acontecimientos, además de proveer material de estudio, representan las principales causas de la evolución como ciudadano y crítico social del autor en cuestión.

description: We derive the stability conditions for the M5-brane in topological M-theory using kappa-symmetry. The non-linearly self-dual 3-form on the world-volume is necessarily non-vanishing, as is the case also for the 2-form field strengths on coisotropic branes in topological string theory. It is demonstrated that the self-duality is consistent with the stability conditions, which are solved locally in terms of a tensor in the representation 6 of SU(3) in G_2. The double dimensional reduction of the M5-brane is the D4-brane, and its direct reduction is an NS5-brane. We show that the equation of motion for the 3-form on the NS5-brane wrapping a Calabi-Yau space is exactly the Kodaira-Spencer equation, providing support for a string-fivebrane duality in topological string theory.

description: I watch the news on TV: talking heads discuss something a politician did, and what the police said about what he did, and what reporters have found out, and what the politician’s party members said, and what people on the street say. The anchors from the news program are proud to give their viewers (me) a balanced outlook of what is going on with the politician, who has fallen from grace. I have heard many times that perspective is what makes good journalism, and this idea lingers as I head to work. It is clear that the interpretation of things changes depending on what corollary information you get, or if there is information that has remained hidden or unknown to you.

description: The literature on agglomeration economies suggests that, in addition to firmspecific attributes, the local geographic context conditions the expected profitability of technology adoption. All theories of technology diffusion assume that inter-firm learning is the outcome of contact with prior adopters. Yet, with few exceptions, the attributes of location that maximize the opportunities for learning (and hence, reduce the costs of technology adoption for all firms in the same locale) have been given only cursory treatment. In this paper, we develop and test a model in which both firm-specific capabilities and place-specific external economies affect the firm’s decision to adopt a new technology. Our data come from two national surveys conducted in 1987 and 1991. Because we have information on two different time periods, we are able to specify firm and place-specific conditions that precede the technology adoption decision. We find that localization (as measured by regional clustering of enterprises in related industries) and urbanization (as measured by the diversity of industries, and by the concentration of degree granting engineering institutions) provide knowledge spillovers that facilitate the adoption of new technology by local establishments. Moreover, the impact of urbanization economies is size-related: The impact of a diverse region on adoption is even greater for small enterprises than for large ones.

description: Van der Waals heterostructures formed by stacking two-dimensional atomic crystals are a unique platform for exploring new phenomena and functionalities. Interlayer excitons, bound states of spatially separated electron-hole pairs in van der Waals heterostructures, have demonstrated potential for rich valley physics and optoelectronics applications, and been proposed to facilitate high-temperature superfluidity. Here, we demonstrate highly tunable layer-polarized excitons by an out-of-plane electric field in homo-bilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides. Continuous tuning from negative to positive layer polarity has been achieved, which is not possible in hetero-bilayers due to the presence of large built-in interfacial electric fields. A large linear field-induced redshift up to ~ 100 meV has been observed in the exciton resonance energy. The Stark effect is accompanied by an enhancement of the exciton recombination lifetime by more than two orders of magnitude to > 20 ns. The long recombination lifetime has allowed the creation of a layer-polarized exciton gas with density as large as 1.2*10^11 cm^-2 by moderate continuous-wave optical pumping. Our results have paved the way for realization of degenerate exciton gases in atomically thin semiconductors.

description: Interval arithmetic is a useful method for working with inequalities, estimated numbers, error bounds, and other convex and bounded sets in general. In this part, we'll look at a few simple cases where intervals and ranges of functions over intervals naturally appear. Interval mathematics is a generalisation in which interval numbers are used instead of real numbers, interval arithmetic is used instead of real arithmetic, and interval analysis is used instead of real analysis. There are two limits to the interval: a lower bound and an upper bound. The current paper presents some of the fundamental notions and techniques from interval analysis that will be required in the future to present various applications of interval analysis in electric circuit theory. The representation of uncertain and inaccurate information, interval arithmetic, and its application to electrical circuits are discussed in this article. Each function has a mathematical equivalent elementary interval; there is equivalent interval for all usual mathematical functions.

description: Plasmon induced transparency (PIT) effect in a terahertz graphene metamaterial is numerically and theoretically analyzed. The proposed metamaterial comprises of a pair of graphene split ring resonators placed alternately on both sides of a graphene strip of nanometer scale. The PIT effect in the graphene metamaterial is studied for different vertical and horizontal configurations. Our results reveal that there is no PIT effect in the graphene metamaterial when the centers of both the split ring resonators and the graphene strip are collinear to each other. This is a noteworthy feature, as the PIT effect does not vanish for similar configuration in a metal-based metamaterial structure. We have further shown that the PIT effect can be tuned by varying the Fermi energy of graphene layer. A theoretical model using the three level plasmonic system is established in order to validate the numerical results. Our studies could be significant in designing graphene based frequency agile ultra-thin devices for terahertz applications.

description: Efficient and unconditionally stable high order time marching schemes are very important but not easy to construct for nonlinear phase dynamics. In this paper, we propose and analysis an efficient stabilized linear Crank-Nicolson scheme for the Cahn-Hilliard equation with provable unconditional stability. In this scheme the nonlinear bulk force are treated explicitly with two second-order linear stabilization terms. The semi-discretized equation is a linear elliptic system with constant coefficients, thus robust and efficient solution procedures are guaranteed. Rigorous error analysis show that, when the time step-size is small enough, the scheme is second order accurate in time with aprefactor controlled by some lower degree polynomial of $1/\varepsilon$. Here $\varepsilon$ is the interface thickness parameter. Numerical results are presented to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the scheme.

description: Our focus are electro-reaction-diffusion systems consisting of continuity equations for a finite number of species coupled with a Poisson equation. We take into account heterostructures, anisotropic materials and rather general statistical relations. We introduce a discretization scheme (in space and fully implicit in time) using a fixed grid but for each species different Voronoi boxes which are defined with respect to the anisotropy matrix occurring in the flux term of this species. This scheme has the special property that it preserves the main features of the continuous systems, namely positivity, dissipativity and flux conservation. For the discretized electro-reaction-diffusion system we investigate thermodynamic equilibria and prove for solutions to the evolution system the monotone and exponential decay of the free energy to its equilibrium value. The essential idea is an estimate of the free energy by the dissipation rate which is proved indirectly.

description: We have revisited the magnetic penetration depth data on the electron-doped cuprates Pr(2-x)Ce(x)CuO(4-y) and La(2-x)Ce(x)CuO(4-y). It is proposed that the transition between the nodal-gap-like and nodeless-gap-like behaviors upon electron-doping [see, e.g., M. Kim et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 87001 (2003)] can be due to a scattering of the quasiparticles in the d-wave superconducting state by an incipient or weak antiferromagnetic spin-density-wave. This conjecture is supported by the inelastic neutron scattering and angle-resolved photoemission experiments on some closely related electron-doped cuprates.

The specimen in the MRSN, which Soós (1983: 258) also mentioned, actually belongs to Rondani’s original type series and its presence thus invalidates Soós’s neotype (I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 75.8).

description: Radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAI-rDTC) has frequently been associated with poor prognosis. We conducted a meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials to evaluate multi-kinase inhibitors’ efficacy and safety profile treatment. A comprehensive search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Medline databases. The quality of literature and trial risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool, while the results of progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs) were evaluated using RevMan5.3 software. Treatment with MKIs significantly improved PFS and OS, but AEs were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.01). The studies demonstrated the median PFS (HR 0.30, 95% CI: 0.18–0.50, P < 0.00001) and OS (HR 0.70, 95% CI: 0.57–0.88, P = 0.002) in RAI-rDTC patients treated with MKIs, and the median PFS of papillary thyroid carcinoma (HR0.28, 95% CI: 0.22–0.37, P < 0.00001) along with follicular thyroid carcinoma (HR0.14, 95%CI 0.09–0.24, P < 0.00001) were extended. MKIs significantly prolonged PFS and OS in patients with RAI-rDTC (P < 0.01). Our recommendation is to use MKIs carefully in patients after evaluating their health status to maximize treatment benefits and minimize adverse effects.
Non-critical Heterotic Superstrings in Various Dimensions

description: We construct heterotic string theories on spacetimes of the form R^{d-1,1} times N=2 linear dilaton, where d=6,4,2,0. There are two lines of supersymmetric theories descending from the two supersymmetric ten-dimensional heterotic theories. These have gauge groups which are lower rank subgroups of E_{8} times E_{8} and SO(32). On turning on a (2,2) deformation which makes the two dimensional part a smooth SL_{2}(R)/U(1) supercoset, the gauge groups get broken further. In the deformed theories, there are non-trivial moduli which are charged under the surviving gauge group in the case of d=6. We construct the marginal operators on the worldsheet corresponding to these moduli.

description: In this work we study the stability of the equilibria reached by ecosystems formed by a large number of species. The model we focus on are Lotka-Volterra equations with symmetric random interactions. Our theoretical analysis, confirmed by our numerical studies, shows that for strong and heterogeneous interactions the system displays multiple equilibria which are all marginally stable. This property allows us to obtain general identities between diversity and single species responses, which generalize and saturate May's bound. By connecting the model to systems studied in condensed matter physics, we show that the multiple equilibria regime is analogous to a critical spin-glass phase. This relation provides a new perspective as to why many systems in several different fields appear to be poised at the edge of stability and also suggests new experimental ways to probe marginal stability.
Experimental determination of the local optical conductivity of a semiconducting carbon nanotube and its modification at individual defects

description: Measurements of optical properties at nanometre-level are of central importance for characterization of optoelectronic device. It was, however, hardly possible for the conventional light-probe measurements to determine the local optical properties from single quantum object with nanometrical inhomogeneity. Here we demonstrate the first successful determination of the absolute optical constants, including the optical conductivity and absorption coefficient, for an individual carbon nanotube with defects by comparing energy loss spectroscopy and optical absorption. The optical conductivity obtained from a certain type of defects indeed presents a characteristic modification near the lowest excitation peak (E11) where excitons and non-radiative transitions as well as phonon-coupled excitations are strongly involved. Detailed line-shape analysis of the E11 peak clearly shows different degree of exciton lifetime shortening and electronic state modification which is variable to the defect type.

Fast Generalized Subset Scan for Anomalous Pattern Detection

description: We propose Fast Generalized Subset Scan (FGSS), a new method for detecting anomalous patterns in general categorical data sets. We frame the pattern detection problem as a search over subsets of data records and attributes, maximizing a nonparametric scan statistic over all such subsets. We prove that the nonparametric scan statistics possess a novel property that allows for efficient optimization over the exponentially many subsets of the data without an exhaustive search, enabling FGSS to scale to massive and high-dimensional data sets. We evaluate the performance of FGSS in three real-world application domains (customs monitoring, disease surveillance, and network intrusion detection), and demonstrate that FGSS can successfully detect and characterize relevant patterns in each domain. As compared to three other recently proposed detection algorithms, FGSS substantially decreased run time and improved detection power for massive multivariate data sets.

Creators: name: González Subías, José Luis

description: En 1973, el profesor Russell P. Sebold publicaba en Hispanic Review un célebre artículo cuyo planteamiento y contenido, en la línea de sus investigaciones sobre los inicios del movimiento romántico en España, resultaba no sólo sorprendente sino demoledor en sus conclusiones. Utiliza Sebold como base argumental para justificar su tesis el fragmento de un drama al que presenta como “un precioso documento para la historia del romanticismo español” (669). Convencido el lector de que lo que tiene ante sus ojos es un texto perteneciente al más puro Romanticismo, el hispanista americano descubre la identidad de su autor, Cándido María Trigueros, así como el título y fecha de composición de la ignota obra: Cándida, o El amante precipitado; drama escrito hacia 1773 e impreso en Madrid doce años después. La existencia de esta pieza teatral, junto con otros varios ejemplos que el estudioso fue aportando en sus diferentes investigaciones, le permitieron afirmar su teoría de que el movimiento romántico se inició en España al tiempo que lo hacía en el resto de Europa; esto es, hacia 1770.

description: This article gives a review of our latest results on the self-pulsation and excitability properties of blue-violet lasers. A number of investigations of the phenomena in InGaN lasers with different designs are described. The bifurcations, which are the origin of the phenomena, are identified and the effects of the lasers parameters on device dynamics are discussed. It is shown how different laser structures can be used to control device behaviour and the dependence of self-pulsation and excitability behaviour on laser geometry is discussed. Finally, agreement between the results of numerical calculations and experimental measurements on self-pulsation is demonstrated.
Non-perturbative series expansion of Green's functions: The Anatomy of Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering in Doped Hubbard Model

description: We present a non-perturbative, divergence-free series expansion of Green's functions using effective operators. The method is especially suited for computing correlators of complex operators as a series of correlation functions of simpler forms. We apply the method to study low-energy excitations in resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) in doped one- and two-dimensional single-band Hubbard models. The RIXS operator is expanded into polynomials of spin, density, and current operators weighted by fundamental x-ray spectral functions. These operators couple to different polarization channels resulting in simple selection rules. The incident photon energy dependent coefficients help to pinpoint main RIXS contributions from different degrees of freedom. We show in particular that, with parameters pertaining to cuprate superconductors, local spin excitation dominates the RIXS spectral weight over a wide doping range in the cross-polarization channel.

description: This paper describes the modeling and the simulation of edge-emitting quantum well lasers, based on the drift-diffusion equations and equations for the optical field. By applying fundamental thermodynamic principles as the maximum entropy principle and the principle of local thermal equilibrium we derive a self-consistent energy transport model which can be proven to meet the thermodynamic requirements. It's numerical solution is discussed explicitly, by starting from the discretization procedure and by ending up with the iteration scheme. As an example, we demonstrate the simulation of a long-wavelength ridge-waveguide multi-quantum well laser.
