description: We introduce the first geometric construction of codes in the sum-rank metric, which we called linearized Algebraic Geometry codes, using quotients of the ring of Ore polynomials with coefficients in the function field of an algebraic curve. We study the parameters of these codes and give lower bounds for their dimension and minimum distance. Our codes exhibit quite good parameters, respecting a similar bound to Goppa's bound for Algebraic Geometry codes in the Hamming metric. Furthermore, our construction yields codes asymptotically better than the sum-rank version of the Gilbert-Varshamov bound.

subject: 330

description: Despite the prevalence of non-routine analytical team tasks in modern economies, little is known about how incentives influence performance in these tasks. In a field experiment with more than 3000 participants, we document a positive effect of bonus incentives on the probability of completion of such a task. Bonus incentives increase performance due to the reward rather than the reference point (performance threshold) they provide. The framing of bonuses (as gains or losses) plays a minor role. Incentives improve performance also in an additional sample of presumably less motivated workers. However, incentives reduce these workers' willingness to "explore" original solutions.
Remains to be seen, worn and heard. An inquiry into anthropogenic debris investigated through contemporary jewellery objects

description: This research project explores the negative environmental impacts of anthropogenic debris by investigating these found materials within the medium of contemporary jewellery objects.

Contemporary jewellery objects are a powerful artistic medium. We can wear jewellery on our bodies and carry it with us. Jewellery can sit on or through the body, and at the same time extend beyond our bodies. Jewellery objects can resonate their own space, to be watched, observed publicly or privately, inviting the wearer or voyeur to think, to enquire, to remember and to investigate. Jewellery objects arouse curiosity, can whisper, shout out or call irresistibly to be touched or held. Or these jewellery objects can speak without words in a universal language.

As contemporary jewellery objects, they offer a new way in which to present the serious global issue of anthropogenic debris both marine and land-based. This selected interactive medium offers more than words, spreadsheets or diagrams on what has become an area of global scientific investigation, with current information on the quantities and distribution of anthropogenic debris across Australia limited and inconclusive.

This project enables a personal collection of data from an Australian perspective that would traditionally be presented within the scientific community, to be shared with the jewellery community and wider general public as a three-dimensional research project. It allows this personal investigation to highlight how what we discard on a daily basis travels far and wide, impacting the environment, and therefore ourselves.

This research is about ordinary, everyday materials presented to all who use and discard them. Through a body of work constructed entirely from discarded anthropogenic marine and land-based materials collected along Victorian, New South Wales and Western Australia coastal environs, this research aims to re-engage ourselves with the objects we use and discard on a daily basis to highlight these unsustainable ecological concerns.

This project explores material and conceptual relationships between natural and built environs to form connections to and an understanding of where we reside within them, and how the influx of anthropogenic materials in the form of contemporary jewellery objects might incite references to natural places in lieu of natural materials traditionally associated with these areas as a second nature with underlying ecological concerns.

This research seeks to offer conceptual contemplation within a body of work constructed entirely with anthropogenic debris as discarded materials that are subject to negative connotations, how they present themselves as a reflection of our material culture and as the heirlooms of our past, present and future, as remains to be seen, worn and heard.

subject: 330

description: We propose a sequential topology on the collection of sub-sigma-algebras included in a separable probability space. We prove compactness of the conditional expectations with respect to L2-bounded random variables along sequences of sub-sigma-algebras. The varying index of measurability is captured by a bundle space construction. As a consequence, we establish the compactness of the space of sub-sigma-algebras. The proposed topology preserves independence and is compatible with join and meet operations. Finally, a new application to information economics is discussed.

Subjects: subject: term structures; sharpe ratio; incomplete markets; asset pricing; time inconsistency; arbitrage; (time-delayed) volterra equations
subject: 330

description: Recent empirical studies suggest a downward sloping term structure of Sharpe ratios. We present a theoretical framework in continuous time that can cope with such a non-flat forward curve of risk prices. The approach departs from an arbitrage-free and incomplete market setting when different pricing measures are possible. Involved pricing measures now depend on the time of evaluation or the maturity of payoffs. This results in a time inconsistent pricing scheme. The dynamics can be captured by a time-delayed backward stochastic Volterra integral equation, which to the best of our knowledge, has not yet been studied.

Subjects: subject: social learning; redundancy neglect; experiments; higher-order beliefs
subject: 330

description: We investigate experimentally whether social learners appreciate the redundancy of information conveyed by their observed predecessors' actions. Each participant observes a private signal and enters an estimate of the sum of all earlier-moving participants' signals plus her own. In a first treatment, participants move single-file and observe all predecessors' entries; Bayesian Nash Equilibrium (BNE) predicts that each participant simply add her signal to her immediate predecessor's entry. Although 75% of participants do so, redundancy neglect by the other 25% generates excess imitation and mild inefficiencies. In a second treatment, participants move four per period; BNE predicts that most players anti-imitate some observed entries. Such anti-imitation occurs in 35% of the most transparent cases, and 16% overall. The remaining redundancy neglect creates dramatic excess imitation and inefficiencies: late-period entries are far too extreme, and on average participants would earn substantially more by ignoring their predecessors altogether.

description: We develop the first causal and stable theory of a bulk-viscous relativistic pseudoplastic (or dilatant) fluid. This new formalism brings to light the rheological properties of several relativistic physical systems. Neutron star collisions can behave as a relativistic pseudoplastic material with viscous properties dictated by the non-conservation of lepton currents due to weak decay. Two-temperature relativistic plasmas, such as those surrounding supermassive galactic black holes, are predominantly pseudoplastic. Our framework can also be employed to construct novel viscous models for the evolution of the Universe with pseudoplastic or dilatant features.

description: We show how sanctioning is more effective in increasing cooperation between groups than within groups. We study this using a trust game among ethnically diverse subjects in Afghanistan. In the experiment, we manipulate i) sanctioning and ii) ethnic identity. We find that sanctioning increases trustworthiness in cross-ethnic interactions, but not when applied by a co-ethnic. While we find higher in-group trustworthiness in the absence of sanctioning, the availability and use of the sanction closes this gap. This has important implications for understanding the effect of institutions in developing societies where ethnic identity is salient. Our results suggest that formal institutions for enforcing cooperation are more effective when applied between, rather than within, ethnic groups, due to behavioral differences in how individuals respond to sanctions.

subject: Interior design

description: Advances in medical science, changing attitudes, and innovation of health care have greatly benefited those living with Alzheimer’s disease. To further serve those living with Alzheimer’s it is the responsibility of those in the field of design to become informed on design for those with dementia. This will allow for sensitive design responses which establish dignity, privacy and independence; and provide the social and psychological support required to maintain a sense of self-worth and purpose.

Thus it is the aim of this research to achieve a base understanding of the nature of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias and thorough the principles of interior design, articulate an environment in which will support and embrace the Alzheimer’s resident. The research culminates in a DVR which acts as a “Kit of Parts” for the designer. It was quickly established that work taken from of a “Kit of Parts” could be applied holistically and on an individual basis to the Alzheimer’s resident.

The “Kit of Parts” also establishes a data base from which the designer can draw from, and readily interpret. As with all design this subject matter is extremely subjective and individual. The way this information is presented allows the designer to bring their own personality to design and promotes regionalism, specific style, and different interpretations with the space, extending its benefits to the Alzheimer’s resident.

description: One of the phenomena that Tom Dobber and Natali Helberger have put under the magnifying glass is political micro-targeting, a technique employed by politicians to address individual voters with tailor-made messages, attuned to their individual background, attitudes, beliefs, concerns, etc. During campaigns, political micro-targeting can be used to personalise political advertising. Between elections, it is often used to grow the voter base, mobilise voters and keep existing voters engaged. Frédéric Dubois interviewed Tom Dobber and Natali Helberger about this phenomenon.

description: This thesis describes the design, development and testing of a novel sensor based on optical interferometry that measures displacement to 6 degree of freedom (DoF). It starts with an in-depth mathematical analysis of the behaviour of the radiant flux over the active area of a rectangular photodetector under varying mirror tilt angle, width of photodetector active area, distance of photodetector from beam centre, distance of the photo-detector from the optical origin and light source wavelength. Findings not evident in the literature are presented, such as flux behaviour beyond the first modulation amplitude zero and the effect of fringe contraction and expansion on the flux at varying distance from beam centre and optical origin. The outcome of the analysis was crucial for deciding to use image sensors rather than photodetectors for this displacement sensor. Obtaining tilt and rotation information from the interferogram is discussed as well as the orthogonal design of the sensor. The mathematics for deriving the position vectors of displaced mirrors from the fringe analysis is given in detail. An experiment rig was built to test the sensor that included an XYZ translation stage as well as a Tilt/Rotation stage, which together provided a means of displacing the interferometer cube mirror to 6 DoF. The experiment rig integrated a 3 DoF tilt/rotation optical lever system designed specifically to accurately measure pitch, roll and yaw of the 6 DoF displacement sensor. Experimental data showed the optical lever system and 6 DoF sensor to have better than 0.01° correlation for pitch, roll and yaw over the test range of ±0.5° angular displacements. The accuracy and resolution of measuring linear displacement using optical interferometry is already well known, therefore this research adds a novel way of including angular displacement to that capability to provide displacement measurement to 6 DoF using 3 interferometers.
Turning down the heat: vegetation feedbacks limit fire regime responses to global warming
Creators: name: Marchal, Jean

Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2017

description: Background/Question/Methods
Boreal wildfire activity is projected to increase dramatically under climate change, raising concerns about ecological and socio-economic consequences. Projections of fire activity have often incorporated only climate-related controls, neglecting biotic feedbacks. This could lead to incorrect projections of fire activity and biased vulnerability assessments to climate change. This would lead policy makers to take wrong directions and adopt inappropriate adaptation policies, with significant ecological and socio-economic costs. We introduced sensitivity to climate- and vegetation-related controls in a landscape fire model using empirical models of fire initiation, escape and spread in temperate and boreal forests of southern Québec, Canada. We coupled the landscape fire model with a dynamic vegetation model to integrate explicitly two biotic feedbacks mechanisms related to post-fire regeneration and successional processes. We constructed a 2x2 simulation experiment where the feedbacks were activated or deactivated under the RCP8.5 scenario of 21st century climate warming. We calculated various measures of annual fire activity such as fire frequency, the mean annual burn rate, the fire size distribution, to quantify the importance of these feedbacks on projections.

Results/Conclusions
According to our models, biotic feedbacks would markedly offset expected increases in fire activity under climate change. In a scenario where vegetation was assumed constant throughout the century, the mean annual burn rate is projected to increase by 18 times at the end of the century relative to historical levels, reaching 1.82% per year. In comparison, if both biotic feedbacks were included this increase was reduced to 4 times. Increases in burn rate were due more to increases in the size rather than in the number of fires. Among the four scenarios, the number of fires increased by 4 to 5 times while the average size increased by 2 to 13 times. The differences between the scenarios were related to the amounts of various fuel types, and their relative frequencies of fire ignition and probabilities of fire spread. These findings have implications for fire risk management and adaptation to climate change, as the extensive forest management now being practiced in the region could act as widespread fuels management.

description: We analyze a relational contracting problem, in which the principal has private information about the future value of the relationship. In order to reduce bonus payments, the principal is tempted to claim that the value of the future relationship is lower than it actually is. To induce truth-telling, the optimal relational contract may introduce distortions after a bad report. For some levels of the discount factor, output is reduced by more than would be sequentially optimal. This distortion is attenuated over time even if prospects remain bad. Our model thus provides an alternative explanation for indirect short-run costs of downsizing.

subject: 330

description: We study two psychological channels how poverty may increase impatient behavior -- an effect on time preference and reduced attention. We measured discount rates among Ugandan farmers who made decisions about when to enjoy entertainment instead of working. We find that experimentally induced thoughts about poverty-related problems increase the preference to consume entertainment early and delay work. The effect is equivalent to a 27 p.p. increase in the intertemporal rate of substitution. Using monitoring tools similar to eye tracking, a novel feature for this subject pool, we show this effect is not due to a lower ability to sustain attention.
title: Consumer Exploitation and Notice Periods

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: notice periods; procrastination; present bias; time inconsistency; consumer naivete
subject: 330

description: Firms often set long notice periods when consumers cancel a contract, and sometimes do so even when the costs of changing or canceling the contract are small. We investigate a model in which a firm offers a contract to consumers who may procrastinate canceling it due to naive present-bias. We show that the firm may set a long notice period to exploit naive consumers.

title: Signals Sell: Product Lines when Consumers Differ Both in Taste for Quality and Image Concern
Creators: name: Friedrichsen, Jana
Publisher: name: Universitätsbibliothek der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: image concern; conspicuous consumption; two-dimensional screening; nonlinear pricing
subject: 330

description: This paper analyzes optimal product lines when consumers differ both in their taste for quality and in their desire for social image. The market outcome features partial pooling and product differentiation that is not driven by heterogeneous valuations for quality but by image concerns. A typical monopoly outcome is a two-tier product line resembling a "masstige" strategy as observed in luxury goods markets. Products can have identical quality and differ only in price and image, thereby rationalizing quality-equivalent line extensions. Under competition, both average quality and market coverage are (weakly) higher but monopoly can yield higher welfare than competition.
title: Aggregate Information and Organizational Structures
Creators: name: Celik, Gorkem

Publisher: name: Universitätsbibliothek der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München

Subjects: subject: agency; aggregate information; organization design
subject: 330

description: We study an organization with a top management (principal) and multiple subunits (agents) with private information that determine the organization's aggregate efficiency. Under centralization, eliciting the agents' private information may induce the principal to manipulate aggregate information, which obstructs an effective use of information for the organization. Under delegation, the principal concedes more information rent, but is able to use the agents' information more effectively. The trade-off between the organizational structures depends on the likelihood that the agents are efficient. Centralization is optimal when such likelihood is low. Delegation, by contrast, is optimal when it is high.
title: Educational Inequality and Public Policy Preferences: Evidence From Representative Survey Experiments
Creators: name: Lergetporer, Philipp

Subjects: subject: inequality; education; information; survey experiment
subject: 330

description: To study how information about educational inequality affects public concerns and policy preferences, we devise survey experiments in representative samples of the German population. Providing information about the extent of educational inequality strongly increases concerns about educational inequality but only slightly affects support for equity-oriented education policies, which is generally high. The small treatment effects are not due to respondents' failure to connect policies with educational inequality or aversion against government interventions. Support for compulsory preschool is the one policy with a strong positive information treatment effect, which is increased further by informing about policy effectiveness.
title: Inferring Attribute Non-Attendance Using Eye Tracking in Choice-Based Conjoint Analysis
Creators: name: Yegoryan, Narine
name: Guhl, Daniel
name: Klapper, Daniel
Publisher: name: Universitätsbibliothek der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: attribute non-attendance; eye tracking; discrete choice modeling; choice-based conjoint analysis
subject: 330

description: Traditionally, the choice-based conjoint analysis relies on the assumption of rational decision makers that use all available information. However, several studies suggest that people ignore some information when making choices. In this paper, we build upon recent developments in the choice literature and employ a latent class model that simultaneously allows for attribute non-attendance (ANA) and preference heterogeneity. In addition, we relate visual attention derived from eye tracking to the probability of ANA to test, understand, and validate ANA in a marketing context. In two empirical applications, we find that a) our proposed model fits the data best, b) the majority of respondents indeed ignores some attributes, which has implications for willingness-to-pay estimates, segmentation, and targeting, and c) even though the latent class model identifies ANA well without eye tracking information, our model with visual attention helps to better understand ANA by also accounting for differences in attribute processing patterns.
Paradigms of observation: Azul Oscuro Casi Negro A Blue That Is Almost Black
Creators: name: Collier, Stephen
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 3301
subject: Architecture
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: A work of architecture holds the observations of the architect, an accumulation of images, feelings and sensations. These remain largely detached and invisible to the casual observer, occasionally becoming apparent as an idea is glimpsed through an external point of observation. The research has looked to redefine the paradigms of observation, that define the way architecture is seen and interpreted, by exploring attachments to places and belief systems. It has followed a journey within practice. Part of this journey has been about locating the aesthetic and metaphysical experience of architecture within its physical and operational realities. The research is an observation of the architect experiencing, as an observer, himself, his place in the world, and of the cities and spaces that occupy his imagination.

By observing the interface between things that have defined career and identity, an architectural narrative has been developed to describe how an architect’s persona, what he lives through and the memories that he carries with him have been and can continue to be condensed into his work. Beauty resides in the interface between these things and ultimately, the fixed reality of the work. The search is characterised by the appearance of The Blue Room. It is a metaphorical place representing both the present and the un-created future. The Blue Room is a metaphor for all of the emotions that rest behind the evolution of an architectural idea and which remain embedded within it as a finished work. It is a metaphor for beauty and a metaphor for loss and sadness, all of the things that exist in-between the idea and the representation of that idea; between the visible and the invisible. It also represents the inherent paradox of the architectural work in that the idea is never the same as it is first imagined; in its finished form it is both the space of the architect and the client.
title: Matching with Waiting Times: The German Entry-Level Labor Market for Lawyers

Subjects: subject: many-to-one matching; matching with contracts; stability; slot-specific choice functions; waiting time; legal education
subject: 330

description: We study the allocation of German lawyers to regional courts for legal trainee-ships. Because of excess demand in some regions lawyers often have to wait before being allocated. The currently used "Berlin" mechanism is not weakly Pareto efficient, does not eliminate justified envy and does not respect improvements. We introduce a mechanism based on the matching with contracts literature, using waiting time as the contractual term. The resulting mechanism is strategy-proof, weakly Pareto efficient, eliminates justified envy and respects improvements. We extend our proposed mechanism to allow for a more flexible allocation of positions over time.
Topological enhancement of non-normality in non-Hermitian skin effects

description: The non-Hermitian skin effects are representative phenomena intrinsic to non-Hermitian systems: the energy spectra and eigenstates under the open boundary condition (OBC) drastically differ from those under the periodic boundary condition (PBC). Whereas a non-trivial topology under the PBC characterizes the non-Hermitian skin effects, their proper measure under the OBC has not been clarified yet. This paper reveals that topological enhancement of non-normality under the OBC accurately quantifies the non-Hermitian skin effects. Correspondingly to spectrum and state changes of the skin effects, we introduce two scalar measures of non-normality and argue that the non-Hermitian skin effects enhance both macroscopically under the OBC. We also show that the enhanced non-normality correctly describes phase transitions causing the non-Hermitian skin effects and reveals the absence of non-Hermitian skin effects protected by average symmetry. The topological enhancement of non-normality governs the perturbation sensitivity of the OBC spectra and the anomalous time-evolution dynamics through the Bauer-Fike theorem.

title: The Impact of a Negative Labor Demand Shock On Fertility - Evidence From the Fall of the Berlin Wall

Subjects: subject: fertility; labor demand shock; industrial restructuring; east germany
subject: 330

description: How does a negative labor demand shock impact fertility? I analyze this question in the context of the East German fertility decline after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. I exploit differential pressure for restructuring across East German industries which led to unexpected, exogenous, and permanent changes to labor demand. I find that throughout the 1990s, women more severely impacted by the demand shock had relatively more children than their less-severely-impacted counterparts. Thus, the demand shock did not only depress the aggregate fertility level but also changed the composition of mothers. My paper shows that these two effects do not necessarily operate in the same direction.

Subjects: subject: stigma; signaling; redistribution; non take-up; welfare program
subject: 330

description: Using a laboratory experiment, we present first evidence that social image concerns causally reduce the take-up of an individually beneficial transfer. Our design manipulates the informativeness of the take-up decision by varying whether transfer eligibility is based on ability or luck, and how the transfer is financed. We find that subjects avoid the inference both of being low-skilled (ability stigma) and of being willing to live off others (free-rider stigma). Using a placebo treatment, we exclude other explanations for the observed stigma effects. Although stigma reduces take-up, elicitation of political preferences reveals that only a minority of "taxpayers" vote for the public transfer.
