description: A bright X-ray transient was seen during an XMM-Newton observation in the direction of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) in October 2006. The EPIC data allow us to accurately locate the source and to investigate its temporal and spectral behaviour. X-ray spectra covering 0.2-10 keV and pulse profiles in different energy bands were extracted from the EPIC data. The detection of 6.85 s pulsations in the EPIC-PN data unambiguously identifies the transient with XTE J0103-728, discovered as 6.85 s pulsar by RXTE. The X-ray light curve during the XMM-Newton observation shows flaring activity of the source with intensity changes by a factor of two within 10 minutes. Modelling of pulse-phase averaged spectra with a simple absorbed power-law indicates systematic residuals which can be accounted for by a second emission component. For models implying blackbody emission, thermal plasma emission or emission from the accretion disk (disk-blackbody), the latter yields physically sensible parameters. The photon index of the power-law of ~0.4 indicates a relatively hard spectrum. The 0.2-10 keV luminosity was 2x10^{37} with a contribution of ~3% from the disk-blackbody component. A likely origin for the excess emission is reprocessing of hard X-rays from the neutron star by optically thick material near the inner edge of an accretion disk. From a timing analysis we determine the pulse period to 6.85401(1) s indicating an average spin-down of ~0.0017 s per year since the discovery of XTE J0103-728 in May 2003. The X-ray properties and the identification with a Be star confirm XTE J0103-728 as Be/X-ray binary transient in the SMC.

description: The loop level lepton flavor violating signals $γγ\to \ell \ell' (\ell=e,μ,τ, \ell \neq \ell^\prime)$ are studied in a scenario of low-energy, R-parity conserving, supersymmetric seesaw mechanism within the context of a high energy photon collider. Lepton flavor violation is due to off diagonal elements in the left s-lepton mass matrix induced by renormalization group equations. The average slepton masses ${\widetilde{m}}$ and the off diagonal matrix elements $Δm$ are treated as model independent free phenomenological parameters in order to discover regions in the parameter space where the signal cross section may be observable. At the energies of the $γγ$ option of the future high-energy linear collider the signal has a potentially large standard model background, and therefore particular attention is paid to the study of kinematical cuts in order to reduce the latter at an acceptable level. We find, for the ($eτ$) channel, non-negligible fractions of the parameter space ($δ_{LL}=Δm^2/\widetilde{m}^2 \gtrsim 10^{-1}$) where the statistical significance ($SS$) is $SS \gtrsim 3$.

description: We derive a semi-geostrophic variational balance model for the three-dimensional Euler--Boussinesq equations on the non-traditional $f$-plane under the rigid lid approximation. The model is obtained by a small Rossby number expansion in the Hamilton principle, with no other approximations made. We allow for a fully non-hydrostatic flow and do not neglect the horizontal components of the Coriolis parameter, i.e., we do not make the so-called "traditional approximation". The resulting balance models have the same structure as the "$L_1$ balance model" for the primitive equations: a kinematic balance relation, the prognostic equation for the three-dimensional tracer field, and an additional prognostic equation for a scalar field over the two-dimensional horizontal domain which is linked to the undetermined constant of integration in the thermal wind relation. The balance relation is elliptic under the assumption of stable stratification and sufficiently small fluctuations in all prognostic fields.

description: Bid data from a Vickrey auction for pork chops with embedded environmental attributes were analyzed. It was found that approximately 62% of the participants had a positive WTP for the most "environmentally friendly" package of pork. Thirty percent of the participants had no WTP, and 8% had a negative WTP. A polychotomous choice model was used to accommodate data having an anchoring point within the distribution of the data. Standard variables found in the WTP literature coupled with this model were used to predict participants who were premium payers and non-premium payers using an estimated ordered probit equation.

The empirical analysis employs U.S. agricultural data for the 1970-1996 period. The results show that federal R&D obligations for basic research, used as a proxy for the complementary role of public R&D, have a significant and positive impact on private agricultural R&D spending. In contrast, federal R&D obligations for applied research, used as a proxy for the substitute role of public R&D, are not found to have a significant impact.

description: Digital dialogue systems, known as “chatbots,” are an application sub-area in automation which is increasingly used in both work and business contexts. The growing use, functionality and benefits of chatbots are therefore also of interest for university teaching in economics. Students at the University of Bremenʼs Department of Economics are developing their own transdisciplinary chatbot project. Working together with partners from different companies within the framework of the HumanRoboLab (HRL), they explore human–machine interaction from an applicationoriented perspective. The main objective of the HRL is to test a didactic concept for transdisciplinary human–machine interaction projects in order to subsequently integrate this concept into business studies and business psychology degree programs. The purpose of such a module is to provide students without prior experience in programming with the knowledge, tools and competences to research, apply and question AI technologies in a self-effective manner; in other words, the HRL aims to help students develop expertise with regard to digitization, benefiting them in both social and economic contexts. The concept of the HRL, as well as some examples of the projects and the role of AI, are outlined in this chapter in order to provide a template for university teachers who might wish to adapt these concepts.

description: Die Zusammenarbeit mit jungen Erwachsenen im Rahmen von Sozialabklärungen im Erwachsenenschutz findet in der Regel im Zwangskontext statt. Abgesehen davon, dass dabei rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen und Richtlinien berücksichtigt werden müssen, ist es für Sozialarbeitende wichtig, eine professionelle Arbeitsbeziehung zu den Klient*innen zu gestalten. Dies kann besser gelingen, wenn Sozialarbeitende junge Erwachsene verstehen und mit den Besonderheiten ihrer spätadoleszenten Lebensphase vertraut sind. Diese Entwicklungsphase ist charakterisiert durch komplexe Situationen, Ambivalenz, Ausprobieren, Selbstfindung und Umbrüche. Gesellschaftlich ist eine Verlängerung der Spätadoleszenz gegen ein höheres Alter bis ca. 30 Jahre zu beobachten, was die Bedeutung einer verstärkten Auseinandersetzung der Sozialen Arbeit mit jungen Erwachsenen unterstreicht. Aus einem vertieften Verständnis ergeben sich Anhaltspunkte und Chancen für die Praxis, denn wichtige Methoden für die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Sozialarbeitenden und jungen Erwachsenen wie z.B. die motivierende Gesprächsführung können auf dieser Grundlage gezielt angepasst werden.

Der Titel der vorliegenden Bachelorarbeit ist Förderung der Beziehungsgestaltung im erwachsenenschutzrechtlichen Sozialabklärungsverfahren - Fokus auf junge Erwachsene. Die Arbeit wurde von Angelika Derler basierend auf einer Literaturrecherche verfasst. Darin wurde untersucht, wie die professionelle Beziehung und Zusammenarbeit mit jungen Erwachsenen im Zwangskontext zielgruppengerecht und förderlich gestaltet werden kann. Wichtige Rahmenbedingungen, Grundhaltungen, methodisches Vorgehen und Methoden der Gesprächsführung werden diskutiert und hinsichtlich der Anwendungspraxis mit jungen Erwachsenen beurteilt.

description: We elaborate on a Hilbert-Schmidt distance measure assessing the intrinsic metrological accuracy in the detection of signals imprinted on quantum probe states by signal-dependent transformations. For small signals this leads to a probe-transformation measure $Λ$ fully symmetric on the probe $ρ$ and the generator $G$ of the transformation $Λ(ρ, G) = Λ(G, ρ)$. Although $Λ$ can be regarded as a generalization of variance we show that no uncertainty relation holds for the product of measures corresponding to complementary generators. We show that all states with resolution larger than coherent states are nonclassical. We apply this formalism to feasible probes and transformations.

description: Agricultural nitrogen is a major contributor to Gulf of Mexico hypoxia, and research has shown that agricultural subsurface tile drainage is a major carrier of nitrogen from croplands to streams and rivers. This study compares the results of abating nitrogen under a retired-land minimization policy with those of a new revenue-maximizing policy, paying particular attention to the role of tile-drained land. Findings reveal the retirement-minimizing policy resulted in more tile-drained land being retired and less being fertilizer-managed than was optimal under the net-return maximizing policy. Also, it led to a greater economic burden being shouldered by tile-drained land. Under both cases, tile drainage dominated the abatement process.

description: Geographic fed cattle markets are important because cattle are bulky and perishable, and production and consumption areas are separated. These characteristics make cattle transportation costly and can contribute to segmented markets. This study uses USDA-AMS reported fed cattle market price data from five U.S. regional fed cattle markets to investigate the effects of mandatory price reporting on spatial market integration. Results indicate these markets have been, and remain, highly cointegrated after implementation of mandatory price reporting (MPR). Following introduction of mandatory price reporting, the five regional fed cattle markets have become more fully integrated (i.e., prices tend to move more closely one-for-one following introduction of MPR).

description: Recently, spectroscopic and calorimetric observations of hydrogen plasmas and chemical reactions with them have been interpreted as evidence for the existence of electronic states of the hydrogen atom with a binding energy of more than 13.6 eV. The theoretical basis for such states, that have been dubbed hydrinos, is investigated. We discuss both, the novel deterministic model of the hydrogen atom, in which the existence of hydrinos was predicted, and standard quantum mechanics. Severe inconsistencies in the deterministic model are pointed out and the incompatibility of hydrino states with quantum mechanics is reviewed.

description: We carefully study how the fermion-fermion interactions affect the low-energy states of a two-dimensional spin-$1/2$ fermionic system on the kagomé lattice with a quadratic band crossing point. With the help of the renormalization group approach, we can treat all kinds of fermionic interactions on the the same footing and then establish the coupled energy-dependent flows of fermionic interaction parameters via collecting one-loop corrections, from which a number of interesting results are extracted in the low-energy regime. At first, various sorts of fermion-fermion interactions furiously compete with each other and are inevitably attracted by certain fixed point in the parameter space, which clusters into three qualitatively distinct regions relying heavily upon the structure parameters of materials. In addition, we notice that an instability accompanied by some symmetry breaking is triggered around different sorts of fixed points. Computing and comparing susceptibilities of twelve potential candidates indicates that charge density wave always dominates over all other instabilities. Incidently, there exist several subleading ones including the $x$-current, bond density, and chiral plus s-wave superconductors. Finally, we realize that strong fluctuations nearby the leading instability prefer to suppress density of states and specific heat as well compressibility of quasiparticles in the lowest-energy limit.

description: We use a simple version of the Psychological Expected Utility Model (Caplin and Leahy,
QJE, 2001) to analyze the optimal choice of information accuracy by an individual who is
concerned with anticipatory feeling. The individual faces the following trade-off: on the
one hand information may lead to emotional costs, on the other the higher the information
accuracy, the higher the efficiency of decision-making.
We completely and explicitly characterize how anticipatory utility depends on information
accuracy, and study the optimal amount of information acquisition. We obtain simple and
explicit conditions under which the individual prefers no-information or partial information
gathering. We show that anomalous attitudes towards information can be more articulated
than previously thought.

description: We report here on variable propagation effects in over twenty years of multi-frequency timing analysis of pulsar PSR B1937+21 that determine small-scale properties of the intervening plasma as it drifts through the sight line. The phase structure function derived from the dispersion measure variations is in remarkable agreement with that expected from the Kolmogorov spectrum, with a power law index of $3.66\pm 0.04$, valid over an inferred scale range of 0.2--50 A.U. The observed flux variation time scale and the modulation index, along with their frequency dependence, are discrepant with the values expected from a Kolmogorov spectrum with infinitismally small inner scale cutoff, suggesting a caustic-dominated regime of interstellar optics. This implies an inner scale cutoff to the spectrum of $\sim 1.3\times 10^9$ meters. Our timing solutions indicate a transverse velocity of 9 km sec$^{-1}$ with respect to the solar system barycenter, and 80 km sec$^{-1}$ with respect to the pulsar's LSR. We interpret the frequency dependent variations of DM as a result of the apparent angular broadening of the source, which is a sensitive function of frequency ($\proptoν^{-2.2}$). The error introduced by this in timing this pulsar is $\sim$2.2 $μ$s at 1 GHz. The timing error introduced by ``image wandering'' from the slow, nominally refractive scintillation effects is about 125 nanosec at 1 GHz. The error accumulated due to positional error (due to image wandering) in solar system barycentric corrections is about 85 nanosec at 1 GHz.

Electrostatic charging in gas-solid fluidized beds
Creators: name: Park, Ah-Hyung Alissa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Electrostatic charges in fluidized beds, generated through various mechanisms such as triboelectrification, ion collection, thermionic emission, and frictional charging, can cause particle agglomeration and hazardous electrical discharges. In this study, electrostatic charging in gas-solid fluidized beds was investigated by means of a simplified mechanistic model and bubble injection and free bubbling experiments in twodimensional and three-dimensional fluidized beds. An electrostatic ball probe measured static charges in fluidized beds, while an optical fiber probe was used to determine the simultaneous movement of the bubbles. Preliminary experiments indicated that a negatively charged object results in a negative voltage peak followed by a positive voltage peak. The opposite pattern occurred for a positively charged object. The current calculated from the voltage output was integrated to estimate the charge induced and transferred. It was shown that the voltage signal can be considered to consist of two components: induced voltage and that due to the direct charge transfer between charged particles and the probe. A simplified model was also developed by applying the method of images to distinguish induced and transferred charges. Spherical bubbles surrounded by a monolayer of charged particles and a medium of dielectric constant 1 were assumed in the models. Bubble injection experiments in a 2-D bed showed that both 321 pm glass beads and 378 pm polyethylene particles were charged positively, while 318 urn polyethylene particles were charged negatively. As bubble size increased the charge induced and transferred increased accordingly. The model gave reasonable predictions of the charge output. Increasing the relative humidity of the fluidizing air between 60% and 80% reduced the electrostatic charge accumulation by increasing the surface conductivity, enhancing the rate of charge dissipation. Adding group C fines and Larostat 519 reduced or eliminated particle buildup on the inner wall of the fluidization column, but the former probably also affected other interparticle forces such as Van der Waals forces and altered the fluidization behaviour. 1 wt% Larostat 519 clearly reduced electrostatic charge accumulation during free bubbling in a 3-D bed of 318 urn polyethylene particles; within 1.5 hr charge accumulation decreased to an insignificant level.

description: Scientists and advocates can disagree on the value of new products or technologies, such as growth hormones, genetically modified organisms, and food irradiation. Both sides of the debate disseminate information to the public hoping to influence public opinion. This study assesses the economic value of both pro and anti public information using food irradiation as a case study. The value of information sources is estimated in isolation and in combination. In isolation, the results indicate each set of information has value. In combination, only the anti-irradiation information is found to have net positive value (persuading some consumers to purchase non-irradiated products). Pro-irradiation information worked to decrease the value of anti-irradiation information by 68% per person.

description: Weather conditions are a primary source of dairy production risk. Hot and humid weather induces heat stress, which reduces lactation. Heat abatement, such as ventilation, directly affects the temperature and humidity. Abatement can increase expected profit, but cannot eliminate the lost revenue caused by heat stress. Weather derivatives can reduce weather-induced profit risk and act as a substitute for abatement at the margin. We test the risk management value of weather derivatives in a utility-maximization framework. The result is that weather derivatives can expand the efficient portfolio frontier. Simultaneously using the weather derivatives and abatement equipment is more favorable than using either alone.

description: Scale-dependence is a common feature to all effective models of quantum gravity. In this paper, a cosmological model based on the scale-dependent scenario of gravity is presented. It is argued that such models, where the scale-dependence appears as a correction to the classical $Λ$CDM evolution, have the potential of addressing the tensions between early and late time measurements of $H_0$. After defining criteria to parametrize this tension, we perform a numerical scan over the parameter space of the scale-dependent model, subject to these criteria. In this analysis, it is found that, indeed, the tension can be released.

description: We discuss the use of high-order quantum accelerator modes to achieve an atom optical realization of a biased quantum random walk. We first discuss how one can create co-existent quantum accelerator modes, and hence how momentum transfer that depends on the atoms' internal state can be achieved. When combined with microwave driving of the transition between the states, a new type of atomic beam splitter results. This permits the realization of a biased quantum random walk through quantum accelerator modes.

description: This research compares practical methods of forecasting basis, using current market information for wheat, soybeans, corn, and milo (grain sorghum) in Kansas. Though generally not statistically superior, an historical one-year average was optimal for corn, milo, and soybean harvest and post-harvest basis forecasts. A one-year average was also best for wheat post-harvest basis forecasts, whereas a five-year average was the best method for forecasting wheat harvest basis. Incorporating current market information, defined as basis deviation from historical average, improved the accuracy of post-harvest basis forecasts. A naive forecast incorporating current information was often the most accurate for post-harvest basis forecasts.

description: We study the product and process innovation choice of firms in which a managerial incentive à
la Vickers (1985) is present. Taking a two-stage game approach, we show that managerial
firms are led to over-invest in process innovation, as compared to standard profit-maximising
firms, while they under-invest in product innovation. The reason is that process innovation
allows to decrease cost, and this is consistent with a convenient increase in the production
level. On the opposite, product innovation allows increasing price, which is in contrast with
the taste for output expansion embodied in the objective function of firms run by managers.
Preliminary empirical evidence on Italian companies suggests that in fact the managerial
nature of firm associates with significantly smaller efforts in product innovation while the
effect on process innovation is positive but non-significant.

Metallicity effects on distances based on double-mode Cepheids

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We test the effect of systematic metallicity difference between the two types of double-mode Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds. We show that lowering the metallicity for the short-periodic Cepheids leaves the distances at their canonical values and, at the same time, improves the agreement between the observed and model periods.

The Manufacture of Partisan Echo Chambers by Follow Train Abuse on Twitter

description: A growing body of evidence points to critical vulnerabilities of social media, such as the emergence of partisan echo chambers and the viral spread of misinformation. We show that these vulnerabilities are amplified by abusive behaviors associated with so-called "follow trains" on Twitter, in which long lists of like-minded accounts are mentioned for others to follow. We present the first systematic analysis of a large U.S. hyper-partisan train network. We observe an artificial inflation of influence: accounts heavily promoted by follow trains profit from a median six-fold increase in daily follower growth. This catalyzes the formation of highly clustered echo chambers, hierarchically organized around a dense core of active accounts. Train accounts also engage in other behaviors that violate platform policies: we find evidence of activity by inauthentic automated accounts and abnormal content deletion, as well as amplification of toxic content from low-credibility and conspiratorial sources. Some train accounts have been active for years, suggesting that platforms need to pay greater attention to this kind of abuse.
c=1 Matrix Models: Equivalences and Open-Closed String Duality

description: We give an explicit demonstration of the equivalence between the Normal Matrix Model (NMM) of c=1 string theory at selfdual radius and the Kontsevich-Penner (KP) model for the same string theory. We relate macroscopic loop expectation values in the NMM to condensates of the closed string tachyon, and discuss the implications for open-closed duality. As in c<1, the Kontsevich-Miwa transform between the parameters of the two theories appears to encode open-closed string duality, though our results also exhibit some interesting differences with the c<1 case. We also briefly comment on two different ways in which the Kontsevich model originates.

Are Cooperatives Efficient When Membership is Voluntary?

subject: transactions costs

description: If profit-maximizing farmers are free to join or not to join a cooperative, it may appear reasonable to assume that a cooperative will exist only when it has cost advantaged over non-cooperative marketing. This paper presents a model in which that result fails. Every individual farmer chooses either to join or not join a cooperative depending on whether transactions costs are lower from cooperative membership or nonmembership. As cooperative membership increases, transactions costs for members decline, but for nonmembers these costs increase. Results of this analysis reveal that an equilibrium exists in which all farmers voluntarily choose to join the cooperative, but more than half of the members wish the cooperative had not been formed, and transactions costs in the aggregate are higher with the cooperative then without it.

description: In this paper the subject is met of providing a two-fold generalization of the logistic popu-
lation dynamics to a nonautonomous context. First it is assumed the carrying capacity alone
pulses the population behavior changing logistically on its own. In such a way we get again
the model of Meyer and Ausubel (1999), by them computed numerically, and we solve it
completely through the Gauss hypergeometric function. Furthermore, both the carrying ca-
pacity and net growth rate are assumed to change simultaneously following two independent
logisticals. The population dynamics is then found in closed form through a more difficult
integration, involving a (τ1; τ2) extension of the Appell generalized hypergeometric function,
Al-Shammery and Kalla (2000); about such a extension a new analytic continuation theorem
has been proved.

description: A droplet bouncing on the surface of a vertically vibrating liquid bath can walk horizontally, guided by the waves it generates on each impact. This results in a self-propelled classical particle-wave entity. By using a one-dimensional theoretical pilot-wave model with a generalized wave form, we investigate the dynamics of this particle-wave entity. We employ different spatial wave forms to understand the role played by both wave oscillations and spatial wave decay in the walking dynamics. We observe steady walking motion as well as unsteady motions such as oscillating walking, self-trapped oscillations and irregular walking. We explore the dynamical and statistical aspects of irregular walking and show an equivalence between the droplet dynamics and the Lorenz system, as well as making connections with the Langevin equation and deterministic diffusion.

description: The Papers document Sheldon Klein's field research on Kawaiisu in 1958 and the early 1980s. Included in the collection are original field notebooks from his research in Kelso, California with Fred and Rosie Collins in the summer of 1958. Also included are notes based on his work in Bakersfield and Tehachapi, California in the early 1980s. This later material was provided by several Kawaiisu speakers, including Carmen Peebles, Lida Girado, Ann Peltier, Rose Barneche, Andy Greene, Della Greene, and Harry Williams. The collection also includes a set of file slips with Kawaiisu vocabulary and grammatical elements and preparatory materials for Klein's published articles on Kawaiisu. Many of Klein's research trips and interactions with Kawaiisu speakers were done together with his wife Carol Klein, who has also played a major role in assembling the material in this collection.

Bidimensional quality competition and scope economies

Subjects: SECS-P/01 Economia politica

description: In markets where product quality is important, more than one characteristic
is usually necessary to define product quality and the amelioration of the
goods characteristics is usually costly. Then, properties of production technologies,
in particular if they exhibit economies or diseconomies of scope in
producing quality along several dimensions, should matter for the industry
configuration at equilibrium. To date, however, the literature has neglected
the issue. We analyze a duopoly model where two characteristics can be used
to vertically differentiate the products. Our results are that the existence of
economies of scope (resp. diseconomies of scope) leads to the emergence of
a quality leader in all dimensions (resp. to a different quality leader in each
characteristic).
What does the Letelier-Gal'tsov metric describe?

description: Recently the structure of the Letelier-Gal'tsov spacetime has become a matter of some controversy. I show that the metric proposed in \cite{letgal} is defined only on a dense subset of the whole manifold. In the case when it can be defined on the remainder by continuity, the resulting spacetime corresponds to a system of parallel cosmic strings at rest w.r.t. each other.
