description: European integration has reshaped the space for domestic industrial policies, foreclosing protectionist strategies, and instead promoting liberal industrial policies aimed at creating an integrated and competitive European market. Such Europeanisation proceeded further in East European states, which display more transnationalised growth models and rely on EU compliant industrial policies more than the West. The paper argues that the EU enlargement strategy played a key role in this Europeanisation, through a combination of conditionality, financial assistance and institution building. The EU helped tilt the domestic political balance in favour of development strategies based upon foreign direct investment (FDI) and it increased the capacities of East European states to use generous and EU compliant state aid as a key industrial policy tool. The resulting economic transnationalization locked-in policy transformation. While rising economic nationalism challenges such transnationalization at the margins, the core of East European growth models and industrial policies persist years after accession.
The Hall–Petch and inverse Hall–Petch relations and the hardness of nanocrystalline metals

description: Abstract: We review some of the factors that influence the hardness of polycrystalline materials with grain sizes less than 1 µm. The fundamental physical mechanisms that govern the hardness of nanocrystalline materials are discussed. The recently proposed dislocation curvature model for grain size-dependent strengthening and the 60-year-old Hall–Petch relationship are compared. For grains less than 30 nm in size, there is evidence for a transition from dislocation-based plasticity to grain boundary sliding, rotation, or diffusion as the main mechanism responsible for hardness. The evidence surrounding the inverse Hall–Petch phenomenon is found to be inconclusive due to processing artefacts, grain growth effects, and errors associated with the conversion of hardness to yield strength in nanocrystalline materials.

description: Code search and comprehension have become more difficult in recent years due to the rapid expansion of available source code. Current tools lack a way to label arbitrary code at scale while maintaining up-to-date representations of new programming languages, libraries, and functionalities. Comprehensive labeling of source code enables users to search for documents of interest and obtain a high-level understanding of their contents. We use Stack Overflow code snippets and their tags to train a language-agnostic, deep convolutional neural network to automatically predict semantic labels for source code documents. On Stack Overflow code snippets, we demonstrate a mean area under ROC of 0.957 over a long-tailed list of 4,508 tags. We also manually validate the model outputs on a diverse set of unlabeled source code documents retrieved from Github, and we obtain a top-1 accuracy of 86.6%. This strongly indicates that the model successfully transfers its knowledge from Stack Overflow snippets to arbitrary source code documents.

description: Many studies describe how globalisation—the global integration of the economic, political, and cultural domains of society—transforms party competition in Western Europe. At the citizen level, however, our knowledge about globalisation attitudes and their electoral consequences remains limited. Using data from a large-scale panel survey of the German public, we show that, first, citizens hold stable rather than fluid attitudes towards the concept of globalisation. Second, these attitudes are rather closely related to positions on specific economic, cultural, and political issues that social scientists understand as facets of globalisation but unrelated to positions on traditional redistribution issues. Third, attitudes towards globalisation are systematically associated with voting decisions even when controlling for specific issue attitudes. We conclude that individuals hold integrated belief systems concerning globalisation and that globalisation matters as a contentious political symbol. We discuss the implications of these findings for the politics of globalisation in Germany and beyond.

description: Phylogeographic studies of northern Australian birds frequently detect the influence of the Carpentarian Barrier in vicariantly structuring present-day genetic variation. Several barriers further west (e.g. Canning Barrier), and, where data are available, the Arafura Sea and Torres Strait separating Australia and New Guinea have an overall lesser effect. Using sequence data from mitochondrial (mtDNA) and nuclear DNA, we tested whether the Blue-winged Kookaburra (Dacelo leachii), widespread in monsoonal northern Australia and southern New Guinea, shows evidence of vicariance by these barriers. Viewed in phylogenetic context of other Australo-Papuan kookaburras (D. novaeguineae, D. gaudichaud, D. tyro), clear phylogeographic subdivisions were absent within the range of D. leachii. Subspecies groupings explained a significant amount of molecular variance within D. leachii, the most distinct being New Guinean D. l. intermedia. Genealogical relationships among mtDNA haplotypes suggest a recent connection between New Guinea and Western Australia, a history recently proposed for at least one other bird species of similar open woodland habitat. Species distribution modelling similarly indicated that climatic conditions during the last glacial maximum (LGM) may have facilitated a connection between New Guinea and present-day Western Australia along the exposed Arafura shelf, and that suitable conditions remained continuous across the Carpentarian Barrier during the LGM. This work adds to a growing body of data on population genetic structuring of Australia’s birds in relation to biogeographic barriers and it is the first such analysis of a large-bodied, non-passerine bird having an extensive geographic range in tropical and subtropical Australia and New Guinea.
Falicov-Kimball model and the problem of electronic ferroelectricity

description: The density matrix renormalization group method is used to examine possibilities of electronic ferroelectricity in the spinless Falicov-Kimball model. The model is studied for a wide range of parameters including weak and strong interactions as well as the symmetric and unsymmetric case. In all examined cases the $$-expectation value vanishes for vanishing hybridization $V$, indicating that the spinless Falicov-Kimball model does not allow for a ferroelectric ground state with a spontaneous polarization.

Three stable phases and thermodynamic anomaly in a binary mixture of hard particles

description: While the realistically modeling of the thermodynamic behavior of fluids usually demands elaborated atomistic models, much have been learned from simplified ones. Here, we investigate a model where point-like particles (with activity $z_0$) are mixed with molecules that exclude their first and second neighbors (i.e., cubes of lateral size $λ=\sqrt{3}a$, with activity $z_2$), both placed on the sites of a simple cubic lattice with parameter $a$. Only hard-core interactions exist among the particles, so that the model is athermal. Despite its simplicity, the grand-canonical solution of this model on a Husimi lattice built with cubes revels a fluid-fluid demixing, yielding a phase diagram with two fluid phases (one of them dominated by small particles - $F0$) and a solid-like phase coexisting at a triple-point. Moreover, the fluid-fluid coexistence line ends at a critical point. An anomaly in the total density ($ρ_T$) of particles is also found, which is hallmarked by minima in the isobaric curves of $ρ_T$ versus $z_0$ (or $z_2$). Interestingly, the line of minimum density cross the phase diagram starting inside the region where both fluid phases are stable, passing through the $F0$ one and ending deep inside its metastable region, in a point where the spinodals of both fluid phases cross each other.
A local variable model for entanglement swapping exploiting the detection loophole

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: In an entanglement swapping process two initially uncorrelated qubits become entangled, without any direct interaction. We present a model using local variables aiming at reproducing this remarkable process, under the realistic assumption of finite detection efficiencies. The model assumes that the local variables describing the two qubits are initially completely uncorrelated. Nevertheless, we show that once conditioned on the Bell measurement result, the local variables bear enough correlation to simulate quantum measurement results with correlation very close to the quantum prediction. When only a partial Bell measurement is simulated, as carried out is all experiments so far, then the model recovers analytically the quantum prediction.

description: We analyze influence of a dimerization on the topological phases of the Rashba nanowire proximitized to a superconducting substrate. We find that periodic alternations of the hopping integral and spin-orbit coupling can lead to band inversion, inducing transition to topologically nontrivial superconducting phase that hosts the Majorana zero-energy modes. This "dimerization-induced topological superconductivity" completely repels the topological phase of the uniform nanowire, whenever they happen to overlap. We provide an analytical justification for this puzzling behavior based on the symmetry/parity considerations and discuss feasible spectroscopic methods for its empirical observation. We also test stability of the topological superconducting phases against electrostatic disorder.

description: We show that atomic motion leads not only to noticeable quantitative, but in some cases also to qualitative modification of collective effects in dense and cold atomic ensembles even in the case when the characteristic Doppler shifts are tens of times smaller than the natural linewidth. The observed influence is explained as a result of the suppression of the impact of sub-radiant collective states caused by the displacement of the atoms.

description: We present diffusion Monte Carlo calculations of D$_2$ adsorbed inside a narrow carbon nanotube. The 1D D$_2$ equation of state is reported, and the one-dimensional character of the adsorbed D$_2$ is analyzed. The isotopic dependence of the constitutive properties of the quantum fluid are studied by comparing D$_2$ and H$_2$. Quantum effects due to their different masses are observed both in the energetic and the structural properties. The influence of the interatomic potential in one-dimensional systems is also studied by comparing the properties of D$_2$ and $^4$He which have nearly the same mass but a sizeably different potential. The physics of molecular hydrogen adsorbed in the interstitial channels of a bundle of nanotubes is analyzed by means of both a diffusion Monte Carlo calculation and an approximate mean field method.

description: Abstract: Background: In many low and medium human development index countries, the rate of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality is high. One factor which may influence this is the decision-to-delivery interval of emergency cesarean section. We aimed to investigate the maternal risk factors, indications and decision-to-delivery interval of emergency cesarean section in a large, under-resourced obstetric setting in Uganda. Methods: Records of 344 singleton pregnancies delivered at ≥24 weeks throughout June 2017 at Mulago National Referral Hospital were analysed using Cox proportional hazards models and multivariate logistic regression models. Results: An emergency cesarean section was performed every 104 min and the median decision-to-delivery interval was 5.5 h. Longer interval was associated with preeclampsia and premature rupture of membranes/oligohydramnios. Fetal distress was associated with a shorter interval (p < 0.001). There was no association between decision-to-delivery interval and adverse perinatal outcomes (p > 0.05). Mothers waited on average 6 h longer for deliveries between 00:00–08:00 compared to those between 12:00–20:00 (p < 0.01). The risk of perinatal death was higher in neonates where the decision to deliver was made between 20:00–02:00 compared to 08:00–12:00 (p < 0.01). Conclusion: In this setting, the average decision-to-delivery interval is longer than targets adopted in high development index countries. Decision-to-delivery interval varies diurnally, with decisions and deliveries made at night carrying a higher risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. This suggests a need for targeting the improvement of service provision overnight.

description: We investigate the evolution of a single qubit subject to a continuous unitary dynamics and an additional interrupting influence which occurs periodically. One may imagine a dynamically evolving closed quantum system which becomes open at certain times. The interrupting influence is represented by an operation, which is assumed to equivalently describe a non-selective unsharp measurement. It may be decomposed into a positive operator, which in case of a measurement represents the pure measurement part, followed by an unitary back-action operator. Equations of motion for the state evolution are derived in the form of difference equations. It is shown that the 'free' Hamiltonian is completed by an averaged Hamiltonian, which goes back to the back-action. The positive operator specifies a decoherence rate and results in a decoherence term. The continuum limit to a master equation is performed. The selective evolution is discussed and correcting higher order terms are worked out in an Appendix.

description: Recent research has shown that mainstream political parties shift their positions on European integration in response to threats from niche parties. Whether or not this strategy affects the electoral fortunes of mainstream parties remains unclear, however. Drawing on both spatial and issue competition models of party competition, this study examines how mainstream political party accommodation of niche party position on the issue of European integration affects mainstream party electoral success. Using fixed-effects panel regression models, we investigate the effect of mainstream parties becoming more Eurosceptic in the face of a radical right political party on the size of the mainstream party’s vote share. We show that position shifts towards Euroscepticism are detrimental to centre-right mainstream party success when faced with a radical right party that has seen more electoral success. Our findings have important implications for our understanding of party competition and electoral responsiveness in the European Union.

description: The purpose of this study was to understand the organization and operations of a cooperative and examine its contribution to rural development in the Philippines. Quantitive and qualitative data were used in the study. Data analysis showed the socioeconomic characteristics of the cooperative's members. Chi-square and multiple regression analysis revealed that land tenure status was a significant variable in acquiring loans from the cooperative, even if land ownership was not a membership requirement. Regression also showed that land tenure status is a significant factor in achieving leadership positions. Contrary to expectations, respondents with lower tenur status were more inclined to assume leadership roles than respondents with more land, in this cooperative. The most frequently mentioned reason for joining the cooperative is its function as a source of production loans. However, cooperative members also recognize the other social benefits the cooperative provides, including extension and marketing assistance. The cooperative also serves as a source of capital for cottage-industry project which non-farming members can access. The respondents suggest several improvements for the cooperative. These include the more efficient processing of loans, raising the maximim loan limit, and higher prices for produce. Despite its limitations, members regard the cooperative as a viable and dependable source of support and services. Members are cognizant of the benefits of belonging to a self-help organization, as opposed to dependence on external aid.

description: Abstract: Background: The Plasmodium genus of malaria parasites encodes several families of antigen-encoding genes. These genes tend to be hyper-variable, highly recombinogenic and variantly expressed. The best-characterized family is the var genes, exclusively found in the Laveranian subgenus of malaria parasites infecting humans and great apes. Var genes encode major virulence factors involved in immune evasion and the maintenance of chronic infections. In the human parasite P. falciparum, var gene recombination and diversification appear to be promoted by G-quadruplex (G4) DNA motifs, which are strongly associated with var genes in P. falciparum. Here, we investigated how this association might have evolved across Plasmodium species – both Laverania and also more distantly related species which lack vars but encode other, more ancient variant gene families. Results: The association between var genes and G4-forming motifs was conserved across Laverania, spanning ~ 1 million years of evolutionary time, with suggestive evidence for evolution of the association occurring within this subgenus. In rodent malaria species, G4-forming motifs were somewhat associated with pir genes, but this was not conserved in the Laverania, nor did we find a strong association of these motifs with any gene family in a second outgroup of avian malaria parasites. Secondly, we compared two different G4 prediction algorithms in their performance on extremely A/T-rich Plasmodium genomes, and also compared these predictions with experimental data from G4-seq, a DNA sequencing method for identifying G4-forming motifs. We found a surprising lack of concordance between the two algorithms and also between the algorithms and G4-seq data. Conclusions: G4-forming motifs are uniquely strongly associated with Plasmodium var genes, suggesting a particular role for G4s in recombination and diversification of these genes. Secondly, in the A/T-rich genomes of Plasmodium species, the choice of prediction algorithm may be particularly influential when studying G4s in these important protozoan pathogens.

description: La resistencia a los antibióticos se ha convertido en los últimos años en un grave inconveniente a nivel mundial. El tratamiento de las bacterias que poseen dichas resistencias cada vez supone un coste económico mayor a la par que un aumento de las muertes debido a su inefectividad. Los antibióticos b-lactámicos y los glucopéptidos son dos de los principales grupos de antibióticos más empleados a la hora de tratar infecciones bacterianas, provocando a su vez una aparición de resistencia aún mayor hacia estos antibióticos. Teniendo en cuenta lo anteriormente mencionado, es de suma importancia desarrollar métodos efectivos y baratos capaces de detectar clínicamente a dichas bacterias, como es el caso del medio estudiado en este trabajo: CRHOMID ESBL. Este medio está diseñado específicamente para detectar bacterias productoras de BLEE, no obstante, el objetivo de este estudio es evaluar su potencial a la hora de detectar otros tipos de resistencias gracias a la adición de discos de antibióticos. Paralelamente, se realizó un estudio epidemiológico de las colonizaciones por agentes multirresistentes de pacientes del Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves en Granada. Los resultados mostraron un patrón de las cepas productoras de BLEE de sensibilidad a imipenem y cefoxitina, mientras que las productoras de carbapenemasas resultaron resistentes a cefoxitina en su gran mayoría. A pesar de estos modelos, el empleo de técnicas más sensibles para detectar resistencias no ha de descartarse. Por otro lado, se estudió la capacidad del medio a la hora de detectar bacterias grampositivas resistentes a vancomicina y resultó ser capaz de detectar enterococos resistentes a dicho antibiótico sin la necesidad de adicionar un disco de vancomicina. Por último, el estudio epidemiológico mostró colonizaciones bacterianas incluidos en la lista propuesta por la Organización Mundial de la Salud como los principales patógenos multirresistentes y, además, los frotis nasofaríngeos mostraron una mayor rentabilidad a la hora de detectar Staphylococcus aureus metiR y Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, en contraposición, los frotis rectales detectaron más eficientemente Klebsiella pneumoniae BLEE, Acinetobacter baumannii y Pseudomonas aeruginosa. No obstante, es necesario evaluar series más amplias.

description: The demand for meat in Canada is examined in a manner similar to that employed in previous work. The current effort differs from previous studies in two important ways. First, beef demand is disaggregated into ground beef and table-cut beef. This is an attempt to allow a more detailed understanding of beef demand and beef products' relation to other meats. Second, Canadian livestock production costs and trade are incorporated in the calculation of demand estimates. This is motivated by previous findings of significant shifts in Canadian consumers' meat preferences sometime in the 1970s. Shocks to the supply side during the I. decade of the 1970s may have caused findings of shifts in demand. If this is so, then incorporating supply factors when calculating demand estimates should cause structural change to disappear. Results show that, as they typically estimated, ground and table-cut beef are very different products in consumption. Ground beef is more expenditure elastic and less ownprice elastic than table-cut beef. Both products compete about equally with pork, but ground beef is more substitutable for chicken. Demands also appear to have undergone a significant shift in 1978. However, incorporating the supply side and trade in estimation of Canadian meat demands produces significantly better estimates and causes the apparent differences between ground and table-cut beef and all structural shifts to disappear. The implications for producers and processors of red meats are that it is in improved production and marketing efficiencies that the chicken producers and processors are winning the battle for market share of the Canadian consumers' declining food budget.

description: The spatial structure of an evolving population affects which mutations become fixed. Some structures amplify selection, increasing the likelihood that beneficial mutations become fixed while deleterious mutations do not. Other structures suppress selection, reducing the effect of fitness differences and increasing the role of random chance. This phenomenon can be modeled by representing spatial structure as a graph, with individuals occupying vertices. Births and deaths occur stochastically, according to a specified update rule. We study death-Birth updating: An individual is chosen to die and then its neighbors compete to reproduce into the vacant spot. Previous numerical experiments suggested that amplifiers of selection for this process are either rare or nonexistent. We introduce a perturbative method for this problem for weak selection regime, meaning that mutations have small fitness effects. We show that fixation probability under weak selection can be calculated in terms of the coalescence times of random walks. This result leads naturally to a new definition of effective population size. Using this and other methods, we uncover the first known examples of transient amplifiers of selection (graphs that amplify selection for a particular range of fitness values) for the death-Birth process. We also exhibit new families of "reducers of fixation", which decrease the fixation probability of all mutations, whether beneficial or deleterious.

description: Abstract: The space of call price curves has a natural noncommutative semigroup structure with an involution. A basic example is the Black–Scholes call price surface, from which an interesting inequality for Black–Scholes implied volatility is derived. The binary operation is compatible with the convex order, and therefore a one-parameter sub-semigroup gives rise to an arbitrage-free market model. It is shown that each such one-parameter semigroup corresponds to a unique log-concave probability density, providing a family of tractable call price surface parametrisations in the spirit of the Gatheral–Jacquier SVI surface. An explicit example is given to illustrate the idea. The key observation is an isomorphism linking an initial call price curve to the lift zonoid of the terminal price of the underlying asset.

description: Recently it was shown, within the mass insertion approximation (MIA), that the gluino mediated flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) interactions can saturate both epsilon_K and Re(epsilon'/epsilon_K) even for the real Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix through a single CP violating parameter (delta^d_12)_LL. In this work, we extend our previous analysis to the nonvanishing KM phase, and to the effective SUSY model where the MIA is no longer a good approximation. In our model, epsilon_K and B0 - B0 bar mixing can receive significant SUSY contributions. Therefore the usual constraints on rho and eta in the Wolfenstein parametrization of the CKM matrix can be relaxed except for the |V_ub/V_cb| from the semileptonic b -> u transition. This affects K -> pi nu nu bar and K_L -> mu+ mu- indirectly, even if they are not directly induced by gluino-mediated FCNC, while K_L -> pi0 e+ e- is influenced both directly and indirectly. Differences between our model and other SUSY models enhancing Re(epsilon'/epsilon_K) are discussed in detail.

description: The CP conserving amplitudes for the decays $K\to3π$ are calculated in Chiral Perturbation Theory at the next-to-leading order. We present the expressions in a compact form with single parameter functions only. These expressions are then fitted to all available $K\to2π$ and $K\to3π$ data to obtain a fit of the parameters that occur. We compare with the work of Kambor, Missimer and Wyler.

description: The majority of calf production in Alberta occurs in conjunction with grain growing enterprises. This study hypothesized that a major reason for this occurrence is the risk reduction opportunities which arise from on farm "portfolios" of grain and cattle. Annual rates of return were calculated over an 11 year period (1979-1989) for a 100 head cow herd in east central Alberta, and then compared to the performance of investments in grain growing land over the same period. The returns from cow-calf production were found to be uncorrelated with the returns from investment in grain growing land. In order to improve the length of the data series, correlations were also computer between the revenue from cattle and grain production, over an 18 year period (1974-1991). Revenues from grain and cattle were similiarly found to be uncorrelated with each other, leading to the conclusion that joint production of grain and cattle does, significantly, reduce the degree of risk exposure.
