description: With technology scaling, lower supply voltages, and higher operating frequencies clock distribution networks become more and more vulnerable to transients faults. These faults can cause circuit-wide effects and thus, significantly contribute to the functional failure rate of the circuit. This paper proposes a methodology to analyse how the functional behaviour is affected by Single-Event Transients in the clock distribution network. The approach is based on logic-level simulation and thus, only uses the register-transfer level description of a design. Therefore, a fault model is proposed which implements the main effects due to radiation-induced transients in the clock network. This fault model enables the computation of the functional failure rate caused by Single-Event Transients for each individual clock buffer, as well as the complete network. Further, it allows the identification of the most vulnerable flip-flops related to Single-Event Transients in the clock network. The proposed methodology is applied in a practical example and a fault injection campaign is performed. In order to evaluate the impact of Single-Event Transients in clock distribution networks, the obtained functional failure rate is compared to the error rate caused by Single-Event Upsets in the sequential logic.

description: Current advances in next generation sequencing techniques have allowed researchers to conduct comprehensive research on microbiome and human diseases, with recent studies identifying associations between human microbiome and health outcomes for a number of chronic conditions. However, microbiome data structure, characterized by sparsity and skewness, presents challenges to building effective classifiers. To address this, we present an innovative approach for distance-based classification using mixture distributions (DCMD). The method aims to improve classification performance when using microbiome community data, where the predictors are composed of sparse and heterogeneous count data. This approach models the inherent uncertainty in sparse counts by estimating a mixture distribution for the sample data, and representing each observation as a distribution, conditional on observed counts and the estimated mixture, which are then used as inputs for distance-based classification. The method is implemented into a k-means and k-nearest neighbours framework and we identify two distance metrics that produce optimal results. The performance of the model is assessed using simulations and applied to a human microbiome study, with results compared against a number of existing machine learning and distance-based approaches. The proposed method is competitive when compared to the machine learning approaches and showed a clear improvement over commonly used distance-based classifiers. The range of applicability and robustness make the proposed method a viable alternative for classification using sparse microbiome count data.

description: Peru is undergoing its current crisis as a result of having vigorously adopted a development strategy (import substituting industrialization) which caused the sectors demanding foreign exchange to grow more rapidly than the sector supplying foreign exchange. The reform measures adopted by the Military Government as well as their adoption of exchange and import control served to aggravate the inherent tendencies and overborrowing postponed the crisis while making it substantially worse. The attempted stabilization has been unsuccessful due principally to a misdiagnosis of the situation as one of general excess demand, while capacity in industry was grossly underutilized and a large part of the labor force were un- and underemployed. A strategy based on industrial production for export could have achieved many of the Revolution's goals, if started in 1969. Even if adopted to counter the crisis in 1975, such a strategy could have brought growth towards equilibrium rather than inflation and recession with balance only in the external accounts. Unless Peru reorients its growth strategy in a way that preserves balance between the sectors that demand and supply foreign exchange, the present situation will cyclically recur.

description: We argue that at sufficiently low temperatures T superconducting parity effect may strongly influence equilibrium persistent currents (PC) in isolated superconducting nanorings containing a weak link with few conducting modes. For a single channel quantum point contact at T=0 we predict a novel effect of parity-induced blocking of PC. In nanorings with SNS junctions a $π$-state can occur for the odd number of electrons. Changing this number from even to odd yields spontaneous supercurrent in the ground state of such rings without any externally applied magnetic flux.

Higgs Boson Flavor-Changing Neutral Decays into Top Quark in a General Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

description: Higgs boson decays mediated by flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) are very much suppressed in the Standard Model, at the level of 10^{-15} for Higgs boson masses of a few hundred GeV. Therefore, any experimental vestige of them would immediately call for new physics. In this paper we consider the FCNC decays of Higgs bosons into a top quark in a general two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). The isolated top quark signature, unbalanced by any other heavy particle, should help to identify the potential FCNC events much more than any other final state. We compute the maximum branching ratios and the number of FCNC Higgs boson decay events at the LHC collider at CERN. The most favorable mode for production and subsequent FCNC decay is the lightest CP-even state in the Type II 2HDM, followed by the other CP-even state, if it is not very heavy, whereas the CP-odd mode can never be sufficiently enhanced. Our calculation shows that the branching ratios of the CP-even states may reach 10^{-5}, and that several hundred events could be collected in the highest luminosity runs of the LHC. We also point out some strategies to use these FCNC decays as a handle to discriminate between 2HDM and supersymmetric Higgs bosons.

Giant Gravitons on the Schrodinger pp-wave geometry

description: We construct a new giant graviton solution on the recently constructed pp-wave geometry of the non-supersymmetric Schrodinger background. That solution exhibits an intriguing behavior as the deformation parameter of the spacetime varies. Firstly, the degeneracy between the giant and the point graviton is lifted for the benefit of the giant graviton as soon as the deformation is turned on. Secondly, when the deformation parameter exceeds a critical value the barrier separating the point from the giant graviton disappears. This suggests that the mere presence of a D3-brane leads to the spontaneous breaking of conformal invariance. We perform a detailed analysis of the full bosonic spectrum, which reveals that the deformation induces a coupling between the scalar and the gauge field fluctuations. It is exactly this coupling that keeps the giant graviton free of tachyonic instabilities. Furthermore, the giant graviton configuration completely breaks the supersymmetry of the pp-wave background, as the Kappa-symmetry analysis suggests.

description: Significant reduction of the precious metal catalyst loading is one of the key challenges for the commercialization of proton-exchange membrane water electrolyzers. In this work we combine IrOx nanofibers with a conventional nanoparticle-based IrOx anode catalyst layer. With this hybrid design we can reduce the iridium loading by more than 80% while maintaining performance. In spite of an ultralow overall catalyst loading of 0.2 mg(Ir)/cm(2), a cell with a hybrid layer shows similar performance compared to a state-of-the-art cell with a catalyst loading of 1.2 mg(Ir)/cm(2) and clearly outperforms identically loaded reference cells with pure IrOx nanoparticle and pure nanofiber anodes. The improved performance is attributed to a combination of good electric contact and high porosity of the IrOx nanofibers with high surface area of the IrOx nanoparticles. Besides the improved performance, the hybrid layer also shows better stability in a potential cycling and a 150 h constant current test compared to an identically loaded nanoparticle reference.

description: This paper analyses the effects of monetary expansion on real output in a small open economy. A two-sector model (traded and nontraded goods) is considered and it is postulated that real effects can arise only from changes in the exogenous component of the money supply (domestic'-credit creation). The model is used to test the Mexican experience and it is found that when appropriately defined to allow for the openness of the economy, unexpected monetary growth raises the cyclical component of real output in the nontraded-goods sector and tends to reduce it in the traded-goods sector.

description: This paper presents an empirical analysis that is useful for the task of characterizing the dynamic structure and causal orderings of the underlying nacroeconametric model of a fixed-exchange-rate economy. In the course of the analysis key hypotheses embodied in the current theoretical and empirical literature on macroeconomic models for open economies are econometrically formulated and tested. Such hypotheses are related to issues like: the pattern of transmission of international disturbances into an open economy, the phenomenon of 'imported" inflation, the degree of implementation of sterilization policies, and many others. Although the present paper does not focus on a particular Latin-American economy, the analysis is certainly relevant for macro-economic modeling of Latin American countries. In fact, it is planned to apply the paper's methodology to the case of several of these countries.

description: Extended target/object tracking (ETT) problem involves tracking objects which potentially generate multiple measurements at a single sensor scan. State-of-the-art ETT algorithms can efficiently exploit the available information in these measurements such that they can track the dynamic behaviour of objects and learn their shapes simultaneously. Once the shape estimate of an object is formed, it can naturally be utilized by high-level tasks such as classification of the object type. In this work, we propose to use a naively deep neural network, which consists of one input, two hidden and one output layers, to classify dynamic objects regarding their shape estimates. The proposed method shows superior performance in comparison to a Bayesian classifier for simulation experiments.

description: Fractionally charged quasiparticles in edge states, are expected to condense to a chiral Luttinger liquid (CLL). We studied their condensation by measuring the conductance and shot noise due to an artificial backscatterer embedded in their path. At sufficiently low temperatures backscattering events were found to be strongly correlated, producing a highly non-linear current-voltage characteristic and a non-classical shot noise - both are expected in a CLL. When, however, the impinging beam of quasiparticles was made dilute, either artificially via an additional weak backscatterer or by increasing the temperature, the resultant outgoing noise was classical, indicating the scattering of independent quasiparticles. Here, we study in some detail this surprising crossover from correlated particle behavior to an independent behavior, as function of beam dilution.

title: Risk factors for treatment failure in isoniazid resistant tuberculosis
Creators: name: Phan, Vuong Khac Thai
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: There were 8.6 million cases and 1.3 million deaths from tuberculosis (TB) globally in 2012. Among the major challenges to global TB control and the ultimate goal of TB elimination is the increasing prevalence of drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis worldwide, coupled with an extremely limited pipeline of novel drug development. In 2012 there were an estimated 450,000 cases of muti- drug resistant TB (resistant to at least rifampicin and isoniazid) and 170,000 deaths due to multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB worldwide. The prevalence of resistance to isoniazid is extrememly high In some regions of the world, including Vietnam, where 25% of new smear positive patients and 54% of re treatment patients are infected with strains resistant to isoniazid. Treatment outcomes are known to be worse for patients with undiagnosed isoniazid resistant (INHR) TB treated with standard regimens but the majority of patients have successful outcomes. This thesis investigated risk factors for treatment failure among patients with isoniazid resistant TB in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Chapter one provides. an -introduction to tuberculosis and isoniazid resistant TB and chapter two describes the methodology of the studies decribed in the thesis. In chapter three, I investigate the treatment outcomes among a cohort of patients with isoniazid resistant tuberculosis treated according to National TB guidelines. The data show that unfavourable treatment outcomes are unacceptably high, at 19% among patients with INHR TB. In chapter four, I investigate three bacterial factors associated with unfavourable treatment outcomes among patients with isoniazid resistant TB, bacterial lineage, MIC to isoniazid and mutations responsible for isoniazid resistance. I show that the Beijing genotype is associated with young age, isoniazid resistance and multi-drug resistance, and unfavourable outcome. In chapter five, I determine the prevalence of viral hepatitis co-infection among patients with INHR TB. Infection with hepatitis B is 9.8% and hepatitis C 4.6% among patients with INHR TB and is a risk factor for the development of anti TB drug-induced hepatitis (ATDIH) but not for unfavourable outcome. In chapter six, I determine the distribution of acetylator types for isoniazid among Vietnamese TB patients and show that acetylator status is not a risk factor for unfavourable outcome in patients with INHR TB. Overall, these studies show that INHR TB is a serious challenge to TB control efforts in Vietnam, with unacceptably high rates of treatment failure. In the final chapter, I discuss the implication of my findings and propose priorities for further research to address these issues.

description: It is well established that the superconductivity in the recently discovered superconducting compound MgB$_{2}$ resides in the quasi-two-dimensional band ($σ$-band) and three-dimensional band ($π$-band). We demonstrate that, due to such band structure, the anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau theory practically does not have region of applicability, because gradient expansion in the $c$ direction breaks down. In the case of dirty $π$-band we derive the simplest equations which describe properties of such superconductors near $T_{c}$ and explore some consequences of these equations.

description: We investigate the thermalization of a two-component scalar field across a second-order phase transition under extremely fast quenches. We find that vortices start developing at the final temperature of the quench, i.e., below the critical point. Specifically, we find that vortices emerge once the fluctuating field departures from its symmetric state and evolves towards a metastable and inhomogenous configuration. The density of primordial vortices at the relaxation time is a decreasing function of the final temperature of the quench. Subsequently, vortices and antivortices annihilate at a rate that eventually determines the total thermalization time. This rate decreases if the theory contains a discrete anisotropy, which otherwise leaves the primordial vortex density unaffected. Our results thus establish a link between the topological processes involved in the vortex dynamics and the delay in the thermalization of the system.

description: Previous theory has suggested that altruism in other people's utility does not affect the optimal level ofpublic good provision if preferences can be represented by generalized quasilinear utility. In this paper, it is shown that the conditions under which optimal provision is unaffected by altruism are narrower than is commonly recognized. Second, even when altruism does not affect optimal provision, it might still affect the ability of public good mechanisms to achieve the optimum. Altruism's effects on three public good mechanisms are considered: the voluntary contribution mechanism, the provision point mechanism, and the Groves-Ledyard tax. It is found for agents with quasi-linear utility that altruism of a "reasonable" magnitude may help, and does not hinder the efficiency of each mechanism. Implications for the experimental evaluation of public good mechanisms are also considered.
Transport coefficients for inelastic Maxwell mixtures

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The Boltzmann equation for inelastic Maxwell models is used to determine the Navier-Stokes transport coefficients of a granular binary mixture in $d$ dimensions. The Chapman-Enskog method is applied to solve the Boltzmann equation for states near the (local) homogeneous cooling state. The mass, heat, and momentum fluxes are obtained to first order in the spatial gradients of the hydrodynamic fields, and the corresponding transport coefficients are identified. There are seven relevant transport coefficients: the mutual diffusion, the pressure diffusion, the thermal diffusion, the shear viscosity, the Dufour coefficient, the pressure energy coefficient, and the thermal conductivity. All these coefficients are {\em exactly} obtained in terms of the coefficients of restitution and the ratios of mass, concentration, and particle sizes. The results are compared with known transport coefficients of inelastic hard spheres obtained analytically in the leading Sonine approximation and by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The comparison shows a reasonably good agreement between both interaction models for not too strong dissipation, especially in the case of the transport coefficients associated with the mass flux.

These parameters were found to be qualitatively distinguished from those studied before in GdMn_2O_5, in which Gd^{3+} ion in the ground ^8S_{7/2} state is weakly bounded with the lattice. It is shown that the properties of the polar phase separation domains, which form in the subsystem of Mn^{3+} and Mn^{4+} ions, are substantially dependent on the values of crystal fields, in which these domains exist.

description: Are contributions involuntary public good experiments inflated because subjects are given money for their initial endowments? There is evidence that people receiving small, one time "windfall gains" have a high marginal propensity to consume them, and when doing so, exhibit greater riskseeking behaviour. Similar effects may be present in voluntary contribution experiments, causing subjects to contribute more to public goods than they would if using their own money. The effect ofwindfall money is tested by comparing VCM contribution rates when subjects supply their own endowments with those when endowments are provided, while holding constant the distribution of total promised earnings.

description: The rigid pendulum, both as a classical and as a quantum problem, is an interesting system as it has the exactly soluble harmonic oscillator and the rigid rotor systems as limiting cases in the low- and high-energy limits respectively. The energy variation of the classical periodicity ($τ$) is also dramatic, having the special limiting case of $τ\to \infty$ at the 'top' of the classical motion (i.e. the separatrix.) We study the time-dependence of the quantum pendulum problem, focusing on the behavior of both the (approximate) classical periodicity and especially the quantum revival and superrevival times, as encoded in the energy eigenvalue spectrum of the system. We provide approximate expressions for the energy eigenvalues in both the small and large quantum number limits, up to 4th order in perturbation theory, comparing these to existing handbook expansions for the characteristic values of the related Mathieu equation, obtained by other methods. We then use these approximations to probe the classical periodicity, as well as to extract information on the quantum revival and superrevival times. We find that while both the classical and quantum periodicities increase monotonically as one approaches the 'top' in energy, from either above or below, the revival times decrease from their low- and high-energy values until very near the separatrix where they increase to a large, but finite value.

Recognizing Large Donations to Public Goods: An Experimental Test

Subjects: Public Economics

description: Repeated one-shot public good experiments commonly tell participants only oftheir group's total contribution after each round. In contrast, private charities sometimes publicise large contributions or contributors to encourage others to give or to bring recognition to donors. The effect of supplying such selective information on contribution levels is tested here experimentally. Following a control treatment with standard information, a second treatment also informs subjects of the maximum contribution made in their group after each round. In a third treatment, subjects are further given the opportunity to make costly rewards to the (unidentified) maximum contributor. Revealing generous contributions appears to raise average contributions slightly. Adding the ability to reward large contributors does not generate further increases, but raises the variance of contributions.

description: Using the ab initio local force method, we investigate the formation mechanism of the helical spin structure in GdRu$_2$Si$_2$ and Gd$_2$PdSi$_3$. We calculate the paramagnetic spin susceptibility and find that the Fermi surface nesting is not the origin of the incommensurate modulation, in contrast to the naive scenario based on the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida mechanism. We then decompose the exchange interactions between the Gd spins into each orbital component, and show that spin-density-wave type interaction between the Gd-5$d$ orbitals is ferromagnetic, but the interaction between the Gd-4$f$ orbitals is antiferromagnetic. We conclude that the competition of these two interactions, namely, the inter-orbital frustration, stabilizes the finite-Q structure.

Observation of B+ -> p pbar pi+, B0 -> p pbar K0, and B+ -> p pbar K*+

description: We report the first observation of a b -> u type charmless baryonic B decay, B+ -> p pbar pi+, as well as b -> s type B0 -> p pbar K0 and B+ -> p pbar K*+ decays. The analysis is based on a 78fb^{-1} data sample recorded on the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. We find BF(B+ -> p pbar pi+) = (3.06^{+0.73}_{-0.62} \pm 0.37)*10^{-6}, BF(B0 -> p pbar K0) =(1.88^{+0.77}_{-0.60} \pm 0.23)*10^{-6}, and BF(B+ -> p pbar K*+) = (10.3^{+3.6 + 1.3}_{-2.8 -1.7})*10^{-6}. We also update BF(B+ -> p pbar K+) = (5.66^{+0.67}_{-0.57} \pm 0.62)* 10^{-6}, and present an upper limit on BF(B0 -> p pbar K*0) at the 90% confidence level. A common feature of the observed decay modes is threshold peaking in baryon pair invariant mass.

description: We provide a way of decoupling the first law of thermodynamics in two sectors : the standard first law of thermodynamics and the quasi first law of thermodynamics. It is showed that both sectors share the same thermodynamics volume and the same entropy. However, the total thermodynamics pressure, the total temperature and the total local energy correspond to a simple sum of the thermodynamics contributions of each sector. Furthermore, it is showed a simple example, where there is a phase transition due to the behavior of the temperature at the quasi sector.

description: The origin of the deficiency in neutral Hydrogen of 13 spiral galaxies lying in the outskirts of the Virgo cluster is reassessed. If these galaxies have passed through the core of the cluster, their interstellar gas should have been lost through ram pressure stripping by the hot X-ray emitting gas of the cluster. We analyze the positions of these HI-deficient and other spiral galaxies in velocity-distance plots, in which we include our compilation of velocity-distance data on 61 elliptical galaxies, and compare with simulated velocity-distance diagrams obtained from cosmological N-body simulations. We find that ~20% relative Tully-Fisher distance errors are consistent with the great majority of the spirals, except for a small number of objects, whose positions in the velocity-distance diagram suggest grossly incorrect distances, which implies that the Tully-Fisher error distribution function has non-gaussian wings. Moreover, we find that the distance errors may lead to an incorrect fitting of the Tolman-Bondi solution that can generate significant errors in the distance and especially the mass estimates of the cluster. We suggest 4 possibilities for the outlying HI-deficient spirals (in decreasing frequency): 1) they have large relative distance errors and are in fact close enough (at distances between 12.7 and 20.9 Mpc from us) to the cluster to have passed through its core and seen their gas removed by ram pressure stripping; 2) their gas is converted to stars by tidal interactions with other galaxies; 3) their gas is heated during recent mergers with smaller galaxies; and 4) they are in reality not HI-deficient (e.g. S0/a's misclassified as Sa's).

description: There is a great deal of support for nominal income targeting in the literature on strategies for monetary policy in a closed economy framework. Is nominal income targeting equally attractive in a small open economy? This paper compares nominal income targeting to alternative monetary policy rules in a stochastic macro model for a small open economy. We find that both, the weighting in the overall price level of the exchange rate and foreign prices and the elasticity of output supplied with respect - to the real exchange rate, are important factors in assessing the attractiveness of nominal income targeting. In a small open economy where the size of both parameters is not negligible, a rule targeting the overall price level may actually be preferred to nominal income targeting.

description: This paper introduces a finance channel for monetary policy. Following Black (1970) there is no money commodity in the paper's model. Instead, the medium of exchange is bank deposits supplied by the financial system in response to optimal rational expectations decisions by firms about financing investment in new capital assets, and demanded by households as part of their optimized financial portfolio of accumulated savings. The model demonstrates how central banks maintain price stability through changes in base interest rates (the Wicksell monetary policy rule) which influence the debt financing decisions of firms.
