description: Conversion prediction plays an important role in online advertising since Cost-Per-Action (CPA) has become one of the primary campaign performance objectives in the industry. Unlike click prediction, conversions have different types in nature, and each type may be associated with different decisive factors. In this paper, we formulate conversion prediction as a multi-task learning problem, so that the prediction models for different types of conversions can be learned together. These models share feature representations, but have their specific parameters, providing the benefit of information-sharing across all tasks. We then propose Multi-Task Field-weighted Factorization Machine (MT-FwFM) to solve these tasks jointly. Our experiment results show that, compared with two state-of-the-art models, MT-FwFM improve the AUC by 0.74% and 0.84% on two conversion types, and the weighted AUC across all conversion types is also improved by 0.50%.

description: We establish a close link between the amenability of a unitary representation $π$ of a group $G$ (in the sense of Bekka) and the concentration property (in the sense of V. Milman) of the corresponding dynamical system $(\s_π,G)$, where $\s_\H$ is the unit sphere the Hilbert space of representation. We prove that $π$ is amenable if and only if either $π$ contains a finite-dimensional subrepresentation or the maximal uniform compactification of $\s_π$ has a $G$-fixed point. Equivalently, the latter means that the $G$-space $(\s_π,G)$ has the concentration property: every finite cover of the sphere $\s_π$ contains a set $A$ such that for every $\e>0$ the $\e$-neighbourhoods of the translations of $A$ by finitely many elements of $G$ always intersect. As a corollary, amenability of $π$ is equivalent to the existence of a $G$-invariant mean on the uniformly continuous bounded functions on $\s_π$. As another corollary, a locally compact group $G$ is amenable if and only if for every strongly continuous unitary representation of $G$ in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ the system $(\s_\H,G)$ has the property of concentration.

description: This program of research was aimed at investigating a novel application of computer aided text analysis (CATA). To date, CATA has been used in a wide variety of disciplines, including Psychology, but never in the area of personnel selection. Traditional personnel selection techniques have met with limited success in the prediction of costly training failures for some occupational groups such as pilot and air traffic controller. Accordingly, the overall purpose of this thesis was to assess the validity of linguistic style to select personnel. Several studies were used to examine the structure of language in a personnel selection setting; the relationship between linguistic style and the individual differences dimensions of ability, personality and vocational interests; the validity of linguistic style as a personnel selection tool and the differences in linguistic style across occupational groups. The participants for the studies contained in this thesis consisted of a group of 810 Royal Australian Air Force Pilot, Air Traffic Control and Air Defence Officer trainees. The results partially supported two of the eight hypotheses; the other six hypotheses were supported. The structure of the linguistic style measure was found to be different in this study compared with the structure found in previous research. Linguistic style was found to be unrelated to ability or vocational interests, although some overlap was found between linguistic style and the measure of personality. In terms of personnel selection validity, linguistic style was found to relate to the outcome of training for the occupations of Pilot, Air Traffic Control and Air Defence Officer. Linguistic style also demonstrated incremental validity beyond traditional ability and selection interview measures. The findings are discussed in light of the Five Factor Theory of Personality, and motivational theory and a modified spreading activation network model of semantic memory and knowledge. A general conclusion is drawn that the analysis of linguistic style is a promising new tool in the area of personnel selection.

description: Microaneurysms (MAs) are one of the earliest clinically visible signs of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Vision can be reduced at any stage of DR by MAs, which may enlarge, rupture and leak fluid into the neural retina. Recent advances in ophthalmic imaging techniques enable reconstruction of the geometries of MAs and quantification of the corresponding hemodynamic metrics, such as shear rate and wall shear stress, but there is lack of computational models that can predict thrombus formation in individual MAs. In this study, we couple a particle model to a continuum model to simulate the platelet aggregation in MAs with different shapes. Our simulation results show that under a physiologically relevant blood flow rate, thrombosis is more pronounced in saccular-shaped MAs than fusiform-shaped MAs, in agreement with recent clinical findings. Our model predictions of the size and shape of the thrombi in MAs are consistent with experimental observations, suggesting that our model is capable of predicting the formation of thrombus for newly detected MAs. This is the first quantitative study of thrombosis in MAs through simulating platelet aggregation, and our results suggest that computational models can be used to predict initiation and development of intraluminal thrombus in MAs as well as provide insights into their role in the pathophysiology of DR.

Begleitumstände und internationale Rechtsgrundlagen für die Umweltpolitik in diesem Feld werden dargestellt, direkte und indirekte Folgen der Politikinstrumente diskutiert. Obwohl die erklärten Ziele – die Eliminierung des bewußten und die Minimierung des unfallbedingten Eintrags von Mineralöl in die Meere – nicht erreicht wurden, kann doch von einem umweltpolitischen Erfolg gesprochen werden. Derzeit stehen die mit Gefälligkeitsflaggen verbundenen Probleme und Beschränkun-gen der Befugnisse und Zuständigkeiten der International Maritime Organization (IMO) der Vereinten Nationen effektiveren Politikinstrumenten zum Meeresumweltschutz entgegen. Die Analyse schließt mit Vorschlägen zur Politikrevision. Vorgeschlagen wird die Stärkung umweltbewußter Küstenstaaten im politischen Regime durch Einschränkung des Einflusses der Gefälligkeitsflaggen-Staaten und der Umbau der IMO in eine UN- Sonderorganisation zum Meeresumweltschutz auf See und maritimer Angelegenheiten.

description: In this study, grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) is used to collect statistical information on dimensional parameters in an area of 20 mm x 15 mm on photonic structures produced by nanoimprint lithography. The photonic structures are composed of crystalline and locally quasicrystalline two-dimensional patterns with structure sizes between about 100 nm and 10 $μ$m to enable broadband visible light absorption for use in solar energy harvesting. These first GISAXS measurements on locally quasicrystalline samples demonstrate that GISAXS is capable of showing the locally quasicrystalline nature of the samples while at the same time revealing the long-range periodicity introduced due to the lattice design. We describe the scattering qualitatively in the framework of the distorted wave Born approximation using a hierarchical model mirroring the sample design, which consists of a rectangular and locally quasicrystalline supercell which is repeated periodically to fill the whole surface. The nanoimprinted samples are compared to a sample manufactured using electron beam lithography and the distortions of the periodic and locally quasiperiodic samples are quantified statistically. Due to the high sensitivity of GISAXS to deviations from the perfect lattice, the misalignment of the crystallographic axes was measured with a resolution of 0.015°, showing distortions up to +/- 0.15° in the investigated samples.

description: We present a realistic supergravity inflation model which is free from the overproduction of potentially dangerous relics in cosmology, namely moduli and gravitinos which can lead to the inconsistencies with the predictions of baryon asymmetry and nucleosynthesis. The radiative correction turns out to play a crucial role in our analysis which raises the mass of supersymmetry breaking field to intermediate scale. We pay a particular attention to the non-thermal production of gravitinos using the non-minimal Kahler potential we obtained from loop correction. This non-thermal gravitino production however is diminished because of the relatively small scale of inflaton mass and small amplitudes of hidden sector fields.

description: I introduce a family of closeness functions between causal Lorentzian geometries of finite volume and arbitrary underlying topology. When points are randomly scattered in a Lorentzian manifold, with uniform density according to the volume element, some information on the topology and metric is encoded in the partial order that the causal structure induces among those points; one can then define closeness between Lorentzian geometries by comparing the sets of probabilities they give for obtaining the same posets. If the density of points is finite, one gets a pseudo-distance, which only compares the manifolds down to a finite volume scale, as illustrated here by a fully worked out example of two 2-dimensional manifolds of different topology; if the density is allowed to become infinite, a true distance can be defined on the space of all Lorentzian geometries. The introductory and concluding sections include some remarks on the motivation for this definition and its applications to quantum gravity.

Radiative Neutralino Decay in Supersymmetric Models

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The radiative decay Z2-> Z1 gamma proceeds at the one-loop level in the MSSM. It can be the dominant decay mode for the second lightest neutralino Z2 in certain regions of parameter space of supersymmetric models, where either a dynamical and/or kinematic enhancement of the branching fraction occurs. We perform an updated numerical study of this decay mode in both the minimal supergravity model (mSUGRA) and in the more general MSSM framework. In mSUGRA, the largest rates are found in the ``focus point'' region, where the mu parameter becomes small, and the lightest neutralinos become higgsino-like; in this case, radiative branching fraction can reach the 1% level. Our MSSM analysis includes a scan over independent positive and negative gaugino masses. We show branching fractions can reach the 10-100% level even for large values of the parameter tan(beta). These regions of parameter space are realized in supergravity models with non-universal gaugino masses. Measurement of the radiative neutralino branching fraction may help pin down underlying parameters of the fundamental supersymmetric model.

description: This note is concerned with the scaling limit as N approaches infinity of n-point correlations between zeros of random holomorphic polynomials of degree N in m variables. More generally we study correlations between zeros of holomorphic sections of powers L^N of any positive holomorphic line bundle L over a compact Kahler manifold. Distances are rescaled so that the average density of zeros is independent of N. Our main result is that the scaling limits of the correlation functions and, more generally, of the "correlation forms" are universal, i.e. independent of the bundle L, manifold M or point on M.

description: We investigate the vacuum instability in the presence of dilaton field in a holographic set up. Although the dilaton is a bulk field, it leads to the vacuum instability on the boundary. We show that the whole process crucially depends on the probe brane position and as well on the radial coordinate. So that the effects of dilaton scale parameter in different regions of the bulk or for different probe brane positions are different. We also observe that in our study the temperature can strengthen the effect of scale parameter in reducing the potential barrier. Finally, we show that this Schwinger-like effect, although is interesting by itself, does not produce a considerable pair production rate.

Spin-Orbit Interaction and Isotropic Electronic Transport in Graphene
Creators: name: Asmar, M. M.

Publisher: name: Freie Universität Berlin
Year: 2014

description: Broken symmetries in graphene affect the massless nature of its charge carriers. We present an analysis of scattering by defects in graphene in the presence of spin-orbit interactions (SOIs). A characteristic constant ratio (≃2) of the transport to elastic times for massless electrons signals the anisotropy of the scattering. We show that SOIs lead to a drastic decrease of this ratio, especially at low carrier concentrations, while the scattering becomes increasingly isotropic. As the strength of the SOI determines the energy (carrier concentration) where this drop is more evident, this effect could help evaluate these interactions through transport measurements in graphene systems with enhanced spin-orbit coupling.

description: Since 2009 the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima has partnered with private corporations to deliver three highway projects worth US$1.5bn. This process follows a state-building strategy developed since the 1990s to allow different levels of government to deliver infrastructure projects with private finance. In Lima, the model has almost exclusively produced highways through a specific scheme that allows firms to submit unsolicited proposals. In this dissertation, I investigate how the availability of private finance transforms the political process and local planning outcomes. I argue that rather than being simply a solution for cash-strapped governments looking to invest in specific pieces of infrastructure, the introduction of private finance shapes what projects get built. Private finance not only transforms the implementation part of a two-step process: it has a deep impact on the planning phase itself by setting constraints on what can be done and to what ends. I call the specific mechanism by which private finance influences planning ‘unplanning.’ Here, the state is not simply retreating to let the private sector determine priorities. In other words, it is not abandoning planning, or simply not planning. Rather, it is being transformed in order to follow a proactive role in attracting investment, and to adapt planning to the needs of private capital. The dissertation goes beyond understandings of infrastructures as neutral conduits and into their techno-political nature in order to reveal how they reflect, reproduce and become both the conduit and the site of political conflicts between private capital, the state, and urban dwellers.

description: How well is the vacuum Kerr geometry a good description of the dark, compact objects in our universe? Precision measurements of accreting matter in the deep infrared and gravitational-wave measurements of coalescing objects are finally providing answers to this question. Here, we study the possibility of resonant excitation of the modes of the central object -- taken to be very compact but horizonless -- during an extreme-mass-ratio inspiral. We show that for very compact objects resonances are indeed excited. However, the impact of such excitation on the phase of the gravitational-wave signal is negligible, since resonances are crossed very quickly during inspiral.

description: We study the temporal evolution of the entanglement hamiltonian of an interval after a global quantum quenchin free lattice models in one spatial dimension. In a harmonic chain we explore a quench of the frequency parameter. In a chain of free fermions at half filling we consider the evolution of the ground state of a fully dimerised chain through the homogeneous hamiltonian. We focus on critical evolution hamiltonians. The temporal evolutions of the gaps in the entanglement spectrum are analysed. The entanglement hamiltonians in these models are characterised by matrices that provide also contours for the entanglement entropies. The temporal evolution of these contours for the entanglement entropy is studied, also by employing existing conformal field theory results for the semi-infinite line and the quasi-particle picture for the global quench.

description: After a short recession at the beginning of the 1990s, the United States entered its longest peacetime economic expansion in history. In the second half of the decade, the remarkable macroeconomic performance led to a controversy whether or not the U.S. economy had evolved into a "New Economy." This paper provides an overview of the debate in the U.S. It introduces different definitions of the New Economy and provides a new one that is quantifiable. A second aim of the analysis is to summarize the prevailing explanations for the observed macroeconomic development. The fundamental hypotheses of the New Economy proponents are identified and contrasted with their critics.

description: This dissertation offers a new account of New York City's politics and government in the 1930s and 1940s. Focusing on the development of the functions and capacities of the municipal state, it examines three sets of interrelated political changes: the triumph of "municipal reform" over the institutions and practices of the Tammany Hall political machine and its outer-borough counterparts; the incorporation of hundreds of thousands of new voters into the electorate and into urban political life more broadly; and the development of an ambitious and capacious public sector--what Joshua Freeman has recently described as a "social democratic polity." It places these developments within the context of the national New Deal, showing how national officials, responding to the limitations of the American central state, utilized the planning and operational capacities of local governments to meet their own imperatives; and how national initiatives fed back into subnational politics, redrawing the bounds of what was possible in local government as well as altering the strength and orientation of local political organizations. The dissertation thus seeks not only to provide a more robust account of this crucial passage in the political history of America's largest city, but also to shed new light on the history of the national New Deal--in particular, its relation to the urban social reform movements of the Progressive Era, the long-term effects of short-lived programs such as work relief and price control, and the roles of federalism and localism in New Deal statecraft.

description: An immediate generalization of the classical McKay correspondence for Gorenstein quotient spaces $\Bbb{C}^{r}/G$ in dimensions $r\geq 4$ would primarily demand the existence of projective, crepant, full desingularizations. Since this is not always possible, it is natural to ask about special classes of such quotient spaces which would satisfy the above property. In this paper we give explicit necessary and sufficient conditions under which 2-parameter series of Gorenstein cyclic quotient singularities have torus-equivariant resolutions of this specific sort in all dimensions.

Do Heterogeneous Expectations Constitute a Challenge for Policy Interaction?

description: Yes, indeed; at least for macroeconomic policy interaction. We examine a Neo- Classical economy and provide the conditions for policy arrangements to successfully stabilize the economy when agents have either rational or adaptive expectations. For a contemporaneous-data monetary policy rule, the monetarist solution is unique and stationary under a passive fiscal/active monetary policy regime if monetary policy appropriately incorporates expectational heterogeneity. In contrast, the active fiscal/passive monetary policy regime's fiscalist solution is prone to explosiveness due to empirically plausible expectational heterogeneity. Nevertheless, this can be a well-defined, rather orthodox equilibrium. For operational monetary policy rules, only the results for the fiscalist solution prevail. Moreover, our results are plausible from an adaptive learning viewpoint.

description: Saudi Arabia depends heavily on petroleum and its related industries, including petrochemicals and refining. The petrochemical industry in Saudi Arabia consists of multinational companies operating in 40 countries with over 40,000 employees. It can thus be regarded as the lifeblood of the Saudi economy. Because of this dependence, a major petrochemical accident can be catastrophic, not only for individuals and families, but also to the nation. Although the number of accidents in the petrochemical sector, including oil refineries and chemical production, had decreased from 17,741 in 2008 to 11,921 by the end of 2012, there is clearly room for improvement. Unsafe behaviours are recognised as a major cause of occupational accidents. Thus, it is essential that safety professionals and researchers understand the events prior to an accident, together with the factors that might influence an individual's behaviour at the workplace. Technology can help reduce work-related accidents; however, there is still a need to encourage safe behaviours especially in a high-risk industry such as petrochemical production.
Role of Velocity Field and Principal Axis of Tilted Dirac Cones in Effective Hamlitonan of Non-Coplanar Nodal Loop

description: Nodal line in single-component molecular conductor [Pd(dddt)_2] has been examined to understand the tilted Dirac cone on the non-coplanar loop. In the previous work [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 87, 113701 (2018)], the velocity of the cone was calculated at respective Dirac points on the nodal loop based on our first-principles band structure calculations, which was a new method to derive an effective Hamiltonian with a 2 x 2 matrix. However, the Dirac cones on the nodal line are fully reproduced only at symmetric points. In the present paper, we show that our improved method well reproduces reasonable behaviors of all the Dirac cones and a very small energy dispersion of 6~meV among the Dirac points. The variation of velocities along the nodal line are shown by using principal axes of the gap function between the conduction and valence bands. Further, the density of states close to the chemical potential and orbital magnetic susceptibility are calculated using such an effective Hamiltonian.

description: Der Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über Potentiale und Grenzen der Entwicklung und Verbreitung des Drei-Liter-Autos in Deutschland – im Kontext der ökologischen Modernisierung. Dabei kommt den Mechanismen der Umweltinnovation und der Innovationsdiffusion eine spezielle Bedeutung zu. Welche staatlichen Aktivitäten im Automobilbereich haben die Umweltinnovation Drei-Liter-Auto beeinflusst? Und: Kann das Drei-Liter-Auto national bzw. international erfolgreich sein? Von besonderem Interesse ist das Wechselspiel von Politik und Technik in diesem Prozess; aber auch die relevanten Akteure (Politik, Greenpeace, Industrie) sowie deren Strategien, Maßnahmen und Ziele. Zur Innovation des Drei-Liter-Autos in Deutschland hat die Politik vor allem mit marktwirtschaftlichen Instrumenten und einem kalkulierbaren Politikstil beigetragen sowie durch das gebildete Netzwerk mit der Autoindustrie. Gleichwohl fehlen politische Maßnahmen, die Diffusion der Drei-Liter-Pkw entscheidend zu stimulieren. Die Umweltpolitik Deutschlands reicht nicht aus, um internationale Lead-Markt-Effekte zu erzielen – obgleich zahlreiche Potentiale vorhanden sind. Derzeit ist das Segment der Drei-Liter-Fahrzeuge in Deutschland noch ein regionaler Pilotmarkt.
description: The paper, which is to be seen in the context of ecological modernisation, gives an analysis of the potentials and limits of the development and diffusion of fuel efficient automobiles (so called “3-literautomobiles”) in Germany. The mechanisms of environmental innovation and those of their diffusion are of particular importance. In this respect quite a few questions arise. The focus is on the question on what kind of government actions – within the domain of the automobile industry – did influence the environmental innovations. Furthermore it is studied if the 3-liter-car can be expected to be successful on the German and on the international markets. But innovation is a highly difficult task, especially for governments. Of special interest is the interplay between policy and technology, and the actors configuration that have been involved, as well as their strategies, measures and goals. By introducing economic instruments and a calculable policy-style as well as the forming of a network with the automobil industry, the German policy contributed to the innovation of the 3-liter-automobile. Nevertheless, political measures aimed at stimulating the diffusion of the 3-literautomobile are lacking. Even though numerous potentials are available, Germany´s environmental policy is not able to obtain international lead-market effects. At present, the 3-liter-automobile segment is still only a regional pilot market.

description: Recently spatially localized anomalies have been considered in higher dimensional field theories. The question of the quantum consistency and stability of these theories needs further discussion. Here we would like to investigate what string theory might teach us about theories with localized anomalies. We consider the Z_3 orbifold of the heterotic E_8 x E_8 theory, and compute the anomaly of the gaugino in the presence of Wilson lines. We find an anomaly localized at the fixed points, which depends crucially on the local untwisted spectra at those points. We show that non-Abelian anomalies cancel locally at the fixed points for all Z_3 models with or without additional Wilson lines. At various fixed points different anomalous U(1)s may be present, but at most one at a given fixed point. It is in general not possible to construct one generator which is the sole source of the anomalous U(1)s at the various fixed points.
