description: This paper studies testing for the presence of smooth transition nonlinearity in adjustment parameters of the vector error correction model. We specify the generalized model with multiple cointegrating vectors and di§erent transition functions across equations. Given that the nonlinear model is highly complex, this paper proposes an optimal LM test based only on estimation of the linear model. The null asymptotic distribution is derived using empirical process theory and since the transition parameters of the model cannot be identiÖed under the null hypothesis bootstrap procedures are used to approximate the limit. Monte Carlo simulations indicate a good performance of the test.

description: A principal who knows her type can face public testing to help attract endorsements from agents. Tests are pass/fail and have an innate toughness (bias) corresponding to a trade-off between the higher probability of passing a softer test and the greater impact on agents’ beliefs from passing a tougher test. Conditional on the test result, the principal also selects the price of endorsement. The principal always wants to be tested, and chooses the toughest or softest test available depending upon the precision of the agents’ and tests’ information. Applications abound in industrial organization, political economy and labor economics.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: We derive closed-form solutions for the Rubinstein alternating offers game for cases where the two players have (possibly asymmetric) utility functions that belong to the HARA class and discount the future at a constant rate. We show that risk aversion may increase a bargainers payoff. This result - which contradicts Roth’s 1985 theorem tying greater risk neutrality to a smaller payoff - does not rely on imperfect information or departures from expected utility maximization.

description: The critical issue that the University of British Columbia Building Operations (UBCBO) is faced with is one of social sustainability - increasing the number of female tradespeople within the organization to reach the provincial average of 5%. An internal review of UBC’s current hiring processes did not reveal any systemic issues to the underrepresentation of females in the trades workforce. Research in the form of one-on-one interviews with both female and male tradespeople currently employed at UBCBO provided in-depth information into the ways that these trades people had heard about UBCBO, as well as their reasons for remaining with the employer. Further analysis led to the finding that the low female participation rate came as a result of a lack of awareness about UBCBO as an employer. This recruitment-marketing plan is geared towards increasing the awareness of UBCBO as an employer for certified tradespeople. First, the issue of brand management is tackled - UBCBO needs to realign key advertising materials to strengthen the employer brand of diversity. This realignment is in response to literature review findings that women judge the diversity of a workplace based on inconspicuous aspects of the advertising message. To generate leads and spread information regarding new job postings, UBCBO needs to utilize social media outlets, particularly Twitter. A new Twitter account would link UBCBO to the BC trade certification schools, thus creating interaction between newly certified tradespeople and UBCBO. A physical presence through workshops at trade certification schools would be used to raise a general awareness of UBCBO as an employer of skilled female tradespeople. Once employer brand management and lead generation are underway, UBCBO needs to make sure that potential female tradespeople follow through with applications. The wording of job postings pertaining to skilled tradespeople positions needs to be re-evaluated to become comparable to those of competitors in terms of length, density, and positioning of key statements. As a last note, UBCBO needs to review the policies that are preventing the hire of external apprentices – it is understood that this is a complex issue, but research has shown the many benefits of this program in retaining top talent across the trades.

Vector Information Metrics and the Foundations of Biological Coherence
Creators: name: Todd, Ian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Classical entropy measures prove inadequate in fully characterizing biological systems' informational structures. This paper introduces hyperdimensional coherence entropy—a vectorial metric capturing alignment and phase relationships in high-dimensional information spaces. We demonstrate that biological systems maintain low coherence entropy through a remarkably simple principle: they export high-dimensional noise while importing low-dimensional, coherent structures. This reframes life as a coherence-driven phenomenon that continuously manages entropy gradients in real time. By capturing the directional, multidimensional properties of biological information, our framework elucidates processes from metabolism to cognition to evolution as manifestations of coherence management. This coherence-based perspective resolves paradoxes between thermodynamic and information-theoretic approaches, potentially reshaping our understanding of life itself.

description: We obtain a 3+2 neutrino spectrum within a left-right symmetric framework by invoking a singular double see-saw mechanism. Higgs doublets are employed to break $SU_{R}(2)$ and three additional fermions, singlets under the left-right symmetric gauge group, are included. The introduction of a singularity into the singlet fermion Majorana mass matrix results in a light neutrino sector of three neutrinos containing predominantly $ν_{αL}$, $α=e,μ,τ$, separated from two neutrinos containing a small $ν_{αL}$ component. The resulting active-sterile mixing in the $5\times 5$ mixing matrix is specified once the mass eigenvalues and the $3\times3$ submatrix corresponding to the MNS mixing matrix are known.

New approach to neutrino masses and leptogenesis with Occam's razor

description: The minimal type-I seesaw framework with texture-zero Yukawa and mass matrices inspired by Occam's razor is incompatible with normally-ordered neutrino masses (currently preferred by data) when lepton mixing originates solely from the neutrino sector. Moreover, the lightest right-handed neutrino mass required to generate the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe via leptogenesis ($M_1 \sim 10^{14}$ GeV) is in conflict with vanilla scenarios for Peccei-Quinn) axion dark matter where the reheating temperature of the Universe is typically below $10^{12}$ GeV. In this work, we present a new Occam's razor setup which overcomes these problems by including charged-lepton mixing parametrized by a single angle, which is predicted to be very close to the quark Cabibbo angle. Furthermore, the atmospheric mixing angle lies in the second octant and the leptogenesis scale is lowered to $\sim 5.5\times 10^{10}$ GeV, lifting the tension with the axion dark-matter hypothesis.

description: Free scalar field theory in the sector with a large number of particles can be interpreted as bosonic string theory on anti-de Sitter space of vanishing radius. Different ways of writing the field theory Hamiltonian translate to different ways of reparametrizing the world-sheet sigma coordinate. Adding a mass term in the field theory corresponds to cutting off the warped AdS direction, with cut-off inversely proportional to the mass. The string theory has neither tachyon, nor critical dimension.

description: Simpson and Tostevin proposed that the width and shape of exclusive parallel momentum distributions of the A-2 residue in direct two-nucleon knockout reactions carry a measurable sensitivity to the nucleon single-particle configurations and their couplings within the wave functions of exotic nuclei. We report here on the first benchmarks and use of this new spectroscopic tool. Exclusive parallel momentum distributions for states in the neutron-deficient nuclei $^{22}$Mg, $^{23}$Al, and $^{24}$Si populated in such direct two-neutron removal reactions were extracted and compared to predictions combining eikonal reaction theory and shell-model calculations. For the well-known $^{22}$Mg and $^{23}$Al nuclei, measurements and calculations were found to agree, supporting the dependence of the parallel momentum distribution width on the angular momentum composition of the shell-model two-neutron amplitudes. In $^{24}$Si, a level at 3439(9) keV, of relevance for the important $^{23}$Al(p,$γ$)$^{24}$Si astrophysical reaction rate, was confirmed to be the $2^+_2$ state, while the $4^+_1$ state, expected to be strongly populated in two-neutron knockout, was not observed. This puzzle is resolved by theoretical considerations of the Thomas-Ehrman shift, which also suggest that a previously reported 3471-keV state in $^{24}$Si is in fact the ($0^+_2$) level with one of the largest experimental mirror-energy shifts ever observed.

description: We solve the topological Poisson Sigma model for a Poisson-Lie group $G$ and its dual $G^*$. We show that the gauge symmetry for each model is given by its dual group that acts by dressing transformations on the target. The resolution of both models in the open geometry reveals that there exists a map from the reduced phase of each model ($P$ and $P^*$) to the main symplectic leaf of the Heisenberg double ($D_{0}$) such that the symplectic forms on $P$, $P^{*}$ are obtained as the pull-back by those maps of the symplectic structure on $D_{0}$. This uncovers a duality between $P$ and $P^{*}$ under the exchange of bulk degrees of freedom of one model with boundary degrees of freedom of the other one. We finally solve the Poisson Sigma model for the Poisson structure on $G$ given by a pair of $r$-matrices that generalizes the Poisson-Lie case. The Hamiltonian analysis of the theory requires the introduction of a deformation of the Heisenberg double.

description: We present results of our wide-field redshift survey of galaxies in a 285 square degree region of the Shapley Supercluster (SSC), based on a set of 10529 velocity measurements (including 1201 new ones) on 8632 galaxies obtained from various telescopes and from the literature. Our data reveal that the main plane of the SSC (v~ 14500 km/s) extends further than previous estimates, filling the whole extent of our survey region of 12~degrees by 30~degrees on the sky (30 x 75~h-1 Mpc). There is also a connecting structure associated with the slightly nearer Abell~3571 cluster complex (v~ 12000km/s. These galaxies seem to link two previously identified sheets of galaxies and establish a connection with a third one at V= 15000 km/s near R.A.= 13h. They also tend to fill the gap of galaxies between the foreground Hydra-Centaurus region and the more distant SSC. In the velocity range of the Shapley Supercluster (9000 km/s < cz < 18000 km/s), we found redshift-space overdensities with b\_j < 17.5 of ~5.4 over the 225 square degree central region and ~3.8 in a 192 square degree region excluding rich clusters. Over the large region of our survey, we find that the intercluster galaxies make up 48 per cent of the observed galaxies in the SSC region and, accounting for the different completeness, may contribute nearly twice as much mass as the cluster galaxies. In this paper, we discuss the completeness of the velocity catalogue, the morphology of the supercluster, the global overdensity, and some properties of the individual galaxy clusters in the Supercluster.

description: The rapid growth of AI-based Internet-of-Things applications increased the demand for high-performance edge processing engines on a low-power budget and tight area constraints. As a consequence, vector processor architectures, traditionally designed for high-performance computing (HPC), made their way into edge devices, promising high utilization of floating-point units (FPUs) and low power consumption. However, vector processors can only exploit a single dimension of parallelism, leading to expensive accesses to the vector register file (VRF) when performing matrix computations, which are pervasive in AI workloads. To overcome these limitations while guaranteeing programmability, many researchers and companies are developing dedicated instructions for a more efficient matrix multiplication (MatMul) execution. In this context, we propose Quadrilatero, an open-source RISC-V programmable systolic array coprocessor for low-power edge applications that implements a streamlined matrix ISA extension. We evaluate the post-synthesis power, performance, and area (PPA) metrics of Quadrilatero in a mature 65-nm technology node, showing that it requires only 0.65 mm^2 and that it can reach up to 99.4% of FPU utilization. Compared to a state-of-the-art open-source RISC-V vector processor and a hybrid vector-matrix processor optimized for embedded applications, Quadrilatero improves area efficiency and energy efficiency by up to 77% and 15%, respectively.

description: We present BVR photometric observations of the blazar PKS 0736+017. These observations were carried out with three telescopes in Mexico and two in Spain between December 1998 and April 2003. PKS 0736+017 shows remarkable variation at different timescales and amplitudes. Maximum brightness was detected on December 19, 2001 (B=14.90+/-0.01, V=14.34+/-0.01, and R=13.79+/-0.01). A peculiar tendency to redden with increased brightness was detected throughout our observations. Moreover, in one season a good correlation between flux level and spectral slope is shown. This "anomalous" behaviour cannot be described by common flare models of blazars. The flux vs. spectral slope correlation observed in this and other blazars is worth further study.

description: Computerized continuous performance tasks (CPT) are often used to diagnose attention deficit disorders (ADD) The purpose of the present study was to continue the evaluation of a CPT developed from a psychophysical perspective. Specifically, two versions of a monitoring task (simultaneous and successive) were examined in the context of three conditions of knowledge of results (KR); KR to correct detections, false alarms, and irrelevant KR. Thirty children diagnosed with ADD and 30 without ADD performed two 9-minute monitoring tasks. Parents of the children were also interviewed with an adaptive behavior scale to investigate whether ADD children exhibit social functioning at a lower level than their same-age peers. The results showed that ADD children produce fewer correct detections but more false alarms, and exhibit lower sensitivity and more liberal responding than non-ADD children. Children with ADD also had lower age equivalent scores indicating that they have lower social functioning than their non-ADD peers. All children performed better on the successive as opposed to the simultaneous task. With respect to KR, none of the KR conditions had any appreciable effect on perceptual sensitivity. On the other hand, KR to false alarms resulted in more conservative responding than either KR to correct detections or irrelevant KR. Based on these results, it was concluded that the present version of the CPT is capable of differentiating between ADD and non- ADD children. Task type and KR type, however, contributed little to the distinction between these two groups of children. Other changes to the CPT are suggested which might bolster its ability to diagnose ADD in young children.

description: Wars are increasingly frequent, and the trend has been steadily upward since 1870. The main tradition of Western political and philosophical thought suggests that extensive economic globalization and democratization over this period should have reduced appetites for war far below their current level. This view is clearly incomplete: at best, confounding factors are at work. Here, we explore the capacity to wage war. Most fundamentally, the growing number of sovereign states has been closely associated with the spread of democracy and increasing commercial openness, as well as the number of bilateral conflicts. Trade and democracy are traditionally thought of as goods, both in themselves, and because they reduce the willingness to go to war, conditional on the national capacity to do so. But the same factors may also have been increasing the capacity for war, and so its frequency. We need better understanding of how to promote these goods without incurring adverse side-effects on world peace

description: We have studied the effect of Lu substitution on the spin dynamics of the Kondo insulator YbB12 to clarify the origin of the spin-gap response previously observed at low temperature in this material. Inelastic neutron spectra have been measured in Yb1-xLuxB12 compounds for four Lu concentrations x = 0, 0.25, 0.90 and 1.0. The data indicate that the disruption of coherence on the Yb sublattice primarily affects the narrow peak structure occurring near 15-20 meV in pure YbB12, whereas the spin gap and the broad magnetic signal around 38 meV remain almost unaffected. It is inferred that the latter features reflect mainly local, single-site processes, and may be reminiscent of the inelastic magnetic response reported for mixed-valence intermetallic compounds. On the other hand, the lower component at 15 meV is most likely due to dynamic short-range magnetic correlations. The crystal-field splitting in YbB12 estimated from the Er3+ transitions measured in a Yb0.9Er0.1B12 sample, has the same order of magnitude as other relevant energy scales of the system and is thus likely to play a role in the form of the magnetic spectral response.

Light curves from highly compact neutron stars with spot size effect

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We systematically examine light curves from a single hot spot on a slowly rotating neutron star with very high compactness, where the so-called invisible zone does not exist. In particular, we adopt three different shapes of hot spot and take into account the finite size effect of hot spot on the light curves. Then, we find that the brightening of flux occurs when the hot spot with small area crosses the opposite side to the observer, where the brightening becomes stronger as the area of hot spot decreases. Since this brightening happens only when a part of hot spot crosses the opposite side to the observer, one may constrain the neutron star geometry, i.e., the combination of an inclination angle, angle between the rotational axis and normal vector at the center of hot spot, and the opening angle of hot spot, if the brightening would be observed. In addition, by counting such a brightening in the light curves, one may know how many narrow bands of hot spot and/or spots with small area cross the opposite side to the observer.

description: This article examines Thai horror films as the most frequent and evident representation of Thai cultural products in Malaysia. It outlines the rise of Thai horror cinema internationally and its cultivation of a pan-Asian horrific image of urbanization that allows it to travel well. Through a comparison with Malaysian horror, the paper proposes a degree of 'cultural proximity' between the horrific depictions of these two Southeast Asian industries. This similarity then points to a particularly Southeast Asian brand of the horror film that is best understood through attention to structure and genre. Despite these similarities, I also argue that in the changing and complex context of contemporary Malaysia, the 'trauma' that is given voice in Thai horror may offer the new urban consumer an alternative depiction of and engagement with Southeast Asian modernity not addressed by Malaysian horror.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanisms are often used to allocate tasks to selfish and rational agents. VCG mechanisms are incentive-compatible, direct mechanisms that are efficient (i.e. maximise social utility) and individually rational (i.e. agents prefer to join rather than opt out). However, an important assumption of these mechanisms is that the agents will always successfully complete their allocated tasks. Clearly, this assumption is unrealistic in many real-world applications where agents can, and often do, fail in their endeavours. Moreover, whether an agent is deemed to have failed may be perceived differently by different agents. Such subjective perceptions about an agent’s probability of succeeding at a given task are often captured and reasoned about using the notion of trust. Given this background, in this paper, we investigate the design of novel mechanisms that take into account the trust between agents when allocating tasks. Specifically, we develop a new class of mechanisms, called trust-based mechanisms, that can take into account multiple subjective measures of the probability of an agent succeeding at a given task and produce allocations that maximise social utility, whilst ensuring that no agent obtains a negative utility. We then show that such mechanisms pose a challenging new combinatorial optimisation problem (that is NP-complete), devise a novel representation for solving the problem, and develop an effective integer programming solution (that can solve instances with about 2×105 possible allocations in 40 seconds).

description: This paper models the disclosure of knowledge via licensing to outsiders or fringe Örms as a threat, useful in ensuring Örms keep their commitments. We show that Örms holding intellectual property are better able to enforce agreements than Örms that donít. In markets requiring innovation to make a product, IP disclosure presents a more powerful threat than entry by the punishing Örm alone. Occasionally, a punishing Örm wonít be able to translate its intellectual property into a full-blown product, making it impossible for it to enter the cheating Örmís market and punish. Even if it canít make a product itself, the punishing Örm can always credibly threaten to license the intellectual property it has on hand to someone else. With this intellectual property as a springboard, chances are at least one fringe Örm will be able to do the translation, make the product and enter the cheating Örmís market. In short, the potential for licensing increases the likelihood of punishment for uncooperative behavior. In the model, Örms contract explicitly to exchange knowledge and tacitly to coordinate the introduction of innovations to the marketplace. We Önd conditions under which Örms can self-enforce both agreements. The enforcement conditions are weaker when (1) Örms possess knowledge and (2) knowledge is easily transferable to other Örms. The disclosure threat has implications for antitrust law generally, which are considered.
Betrayal, Sacred Landscapes, and Stories of Justice among Tamils in Malaysia
Creators: name: Willford, Andrew
Publisher: name: Göttingen : DORISEA
Year: 2016

description: Malaysia’s multiethnic ideology is premised upon an ideal of hospitality that simultaneously announces its own impossibility through the marking of legal ethnonationalist rights and privileges. The performativity of the Law has been increasingly revealed to Malaysian Tamils through a series of recent events that have left them questioning the civility of their country. Specifically, the demolitions of temples and the acquisitions of land by the State, forced conversions, and the dispossession of Tamil plantation workers have precipitated doubts. I argue that the force of law within the ethno-nationalist state is haunted by a fragmentation of memory and experience among Tamils. This is wrought by a sense of 'betrayal' by the State upon an increasingly sacralized landscape. Among Tamil Hindus, notions of divine justice have become fused with possessive and sometimes violent imaginaries. Tamil notions of divine justice are revealed to be a form of compensation, albeit one grounded in a growing victim's narrative. Through my interlocutors and collaborators, I have come to critique the Law, as mutually understood through the ethnographic encounter. At the same time, I have strategically utilized empathy in the face of great hospitality, whilst recoiling, at times, from the implications that accompany calls of justice. I conclude with a meditation upon the ethics of critique by suggesting the ethnographic betrayal is both painful and necessary.

On the Enhanced X-ray Emission from SGR 1900+14 after the August 27 Giant Flare

description: We show that the giant flares of soft-gamma ray repeaters (E~10^44 ergs) can push the inner regions of a fall-back disk out to larger radii by radiation pressure, while matter remains bound to the system for plausible parameters. The subsequent relaxation of this pushed-back matter can account for the observed enhanced X-ray emission after the August 27 giant flare of SGR 1900+14. Based on the results of our models, we estimate that the ratio of the fluences of the enhanced X-ray emissions to that of the preceding bursts remains constant for a particular SGR with similar preburst inner disk conditions, which is consistent with the four different burst observations of SGR 1900+14.

description: Higher-order topological materials with topologically protected states at the boundaries of their boundaries (hinges or corners) have attracted attention in recent years. In this paper, we utilize time-periodic driving to generate second-order topological superconductors out of systems which otherwise do not even allow second-order topological characterization. This is made possible by the design of the periodic drives which inherently exhibit nontrival winding in the time-domain. Through the interplay of topology in both spatial and temporal dimensions, nonchiral Majorana modes may emerge at the systems corners and sometimes even coexist with chiral Majorana modes. Our proposal thus presents a unique opportunity to Floquet engineering with minimal system complexity and its application in quantum information processing.

description: On the basis of the Faddeev integral equations method and the Watson- Feshbach concept of the effective (optical) interaction potential, the first fully consistent three-body approach to the description of the penetration of a charged particle through the Coulomb field of a two-particle bound complex (composed of one charged and one neutral particles) has been developed. A general formalism has been elaborated and on its basis, to a first approximation in the Sommerfeld parameter, the influence of the nuclear structure on the probability of the penetration of a charged particle (the muon, the pion, the kaon and the proton) through the Gamow barrier of a two-fragment nucleus (the deuteron and the two lightest lambda hypernuclei, lambda hypertriton and lambda hyperhelium-5, has been calculated and studied.

description: We analyse spectroscopic observations of WR20a revealing that this star is a massive early-type binary system with a most probable orbital period of \sim 3.675 days. Our spectra indicate that both components are most likely of WN6ha or O3If^*/WN6ha spectral type. The orbital solution for a period of 3.675 days yields extremely large minimum masses of 70.7 \pm 4.0 and 68.8 \pm 3.8 M_{\odot} for the two stars. These properties make WR20a a cornerstone system for the study of massive star evolution.

Emergent dual holographic description for interacting Dirac fermions in the large $N$ limit

description: We derive an effective dual holographic Einstein-Maxwell theory, applying renormalization group transformations to interacting Dirac fermions in a recursive way. In particular, we show how both background metric tensor and U(1) gauge fields become dynamical to describe the renormalization group flows of coupling functions and order parameter fields of the corresponding quantum field theory through natural emergence of an extra-dimensional space, respectively. Finally, we propose a prescription on how to calculate correlation functions in a non-perturbative way, where quantum fluctuations of both metric and gauge fields are frozen to cause a classical field theory of the Einstein-Maxwell type in the large $N$ limit. Here, $N$ is the flavor degeneracy of Dirac fermions. This prescription turns out to coincide with that of the holographic duality conjecture.

Convergence properties of the proposed method are studied in details and its induced preconditioner is examined for accelerating the convergence speed of generalized minimal residual (GMRES) method. More precisely, we analyze the eigenvalue distribution of the preconditioned matrix. Numerical experiments are reported to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed preconditioner.
