description: We study the propagation of charm quarks, produced from the initial fusion of partons, in an equilibrating quark-gluon plasma which may be formed in the wake of relativistic collisions of gold nuclei. Initial conditions are taken from a self screened parton cascade model and the chemical equilibration is assumed to proceed via gluon multiplication and quark production. The energy loss suffered by the charm quarks is obtained by evaluating the drag force generated by the scattering with quarks and gluons in the medium. We find that the charm quarks may loose only about 10% of their initial energy in conditions likely to be attained at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, while they may loose up to 40% of their energy while propagating in the plasma created at Large Hadron Collider. We discuss the implications for signals of quark gluon plasma.

description: This paper studies the impact of existing and universal transfer programs on vacancy creation, wages, and welfare using a search-and-matching model with heterogeneous agents and on-the-job human capital accumulation. We calibrate the general equilibrium model to match key moments concerning unemployment, wage and wealth distributions, as well as the distribution of EITC and transfers. In addition, unemployment insurance benefits are related to pre-unemployment earnings and subject to exhaustion, after which agents can only rely on transfers and savings. First, we show that existing transfers hamper economic activity but provide sizeable welfare gains. Next, we show that a universal basic income of nearly $12,500 to each household per year, which replaces all existing transfer programs and unemployment benefits, can lead to small aggregate welfare gains. These welfare gains mostly accrue to less skilled individuals despite their sizable fall in wages, and the overall rise in skill premia and wage inequality. Albeit the extra burden of higher taxes to finance UBI, we show that the increased action in hiring is a key channel though which outcomes for low education groups improve with the reform. However, if we keep the UI benefits in place, the positive effects on job creation vanish and UBI does not improve upon the current system.

description: We analyze the distribution of maximum residue limits (MRLs) on veterinary drugs used in animal production and aquaculture in a global context of food consumption and trade. We compare MRLs by drug–commodity pairs for a large set of countries, commodities, and drugs. We find that international standards by Codex Alimentarius only cover a small fraction of the drug-commodity pairs. We compare countries’ MRLs to Codex MRLs when they exist and look at potential deviations from the science-based MRLs in either direction (more or less stringent than Codex). For drugs without Codex standard, we look at deviation from median values. When Codex MRLs exist, variation and stringency above codex MRLs are minimal, a somewhat surprising and hopeful finding. Little protectionism prevails when a Codex standard exists. We find higher variation when Codex standards do not exist. We test for significant differences in MRL variation for cases with and without a Codex MRL and find robust evidence of higher variation for the latter. Increasing the institutional capacity of Codex for establishing a larger set of MRLs would reduce the heterogeneity of MRLs across countries.
How to distinguish climate sceptics, antivaxxers, and persistent sceptics: Evidence from a multi-country survey of public attitudes

description: Distrust in science has been linked to scepticism over both vaccines and climate change. We analyse the results of nationally representative online surveys administered in eight key countries critical to global efforts to mitigate climate change and COVID-19 (Australia, Brazil, China, India, Japan, South Africa, the UK and US). Consistent with previous studies, we find distrust in science is an important explanatory variable for the larger majority of sceptics, those who are sceptical of one or the other issue but not both, across the countries examined. However, the association is significantly weaker among the segment of hardcore persistent sceptics who are both climate sceptics and antivaxxers, instead we find that these individuals, who fit with the typical sceptic profile, are driven by an underlying distrust of elite institutions rather than a specific distrust of scientists. Our results imply that different communications strategies are needed for different types of sceptics.
B to D(*) pi- beyond naive factorization in the heavy quark limit

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Nonleptonic decays B to D pi- or B to D* pi- are dominated by factorizable contributions. In the heavy quark limit, nonfactorizable contribution arises from strong radiative correction and power corrections in 1/m_b. I calculate the decay rates for B to D(*) pi- at next-to-leading order in strong interaction, including nonfactorizable corrections. The result is expressed in terms of a convolution of the hard scattering amplitude and the pion wave function. The decay amplitudes in this method are independent of the gauge, the renormalization scale, and the renormalization scheme. The effects of the nonfactorizable contribution are discussed and numerical estimates are presented.

Couleur des terga varient de l'ochracé livide au châtain.
Tête brun rouge avec le partie frontale plus claire. Sterna fauves. Dernières pattes de la couleur des boucliers dorsaux.
Long. 16-48 mm.
Corps à bords parallèles, les premiers segments étant presque aussi larges que la tète dont la largeur est la même que celle des boucliers médians.
Antennes: 48-52 articles plus longues que la moitié de la longueur du corps = 10/18.
De chaque côté: 11-13 ocelles.
Hanches des forcipules avec 6+6 ou 7+7 dents petites.
9e, 11e et 43e boucliers dorsaux avec les angles postérieurs aigus.
Pores coxaux en 2 ou 3 séries: 9, 12, 13, 7 (nombres moyens)
Armement inférieur de la 14e paire de pattes 0.1.3.3.1. Un calcar latéral a la hanche. Griffe terminale forte, pourvue d'une griffe accessoire.
Armement inférieur de le 15e paire: 0.1.3(4).2.1.1. Un calcar latéral. Griffe terminale forte, sans grifle accessoire. 15e paire longue comme la moitié du corps.
Fémur ♂ de la 14e paire renflé ù sa partie distale interne, qui porte une touffe de poils fins et un calcar contourné en hameçon (fig. 1). Fémur de la 15e paire également renflé à sa partie distale qui porte aussi une touffe de poils fins, mais point de calcar.
Appendices génitaux ♂ peu développés, biarticulés.
Appendice génital ♀ avec un cuilleron fort, unilobé et 2+2 ou 2+3 calcars.
Ce Lithobius nous paraît bien caractérisé comme sous-espèce, d'autant plus que nous avons trouvé en Corse, à Vizzavona, le Lithobius impressus type. L' impressus type de Vizzavona avait comme armement inférieur des pattes anales 0.1.3.2.1.1. qui est l'armement de Lithobius impressus d'Algérie (Nemours). En France, où l'espèce est plus petite, le 6e article est dépourvu de calcars: 0.1.3.2.1.0. Mais nous ne considérons la réduction de l’armement marchant de pair avec la réduction de la taille, que comme une simple variation due à la latitude, tandis que le renflement des fémurs avec le curieux crochet en hameçon nous paraît avoir une valeur spécifique.
L. corsicus présente des affinités avec Lithobius caesar Verh. de Corfou dont il ne diffère que par le crochet des fémurs du ♂ et l'armement des pattes anales. A notre sens, Lithobius caesar Verh. n’est qu’une sous-espèce de Lithobius impressus.

description: This thesis examines the capacity of parents and teachers to accurately report on children's cognitive functioning, and explores the applicability of cognitive constructs contained within CHC theory in obtaining a measure of cognitive functioning via informant-report methods. The current study provides evidence for the capacity of parents and teachers to estimate accurately children’s abilities. The data adequately demonstrates the reliability and validity of the newly developed Estimates of Children’s Cognitive Abilities instrument. The results highlight the importance of using strong theoretical models in scale development, and brings us a step closer to developing an effective multi-informant, multi-method measurement of abilities.

The main conclusion is that we are paying the price (and a huge one) for two related phenomena; one belongs to the realm of ideology and knowledge, the other to ‘power play’.

description: Monte Carlo or Molecular Dynamics calculations of surfaces of Lennard-Jones systems often indicate, apart from a gradual disordering of the surface called surface melting, the presence of a phase transition at the surface, but cannot determine the nature of the transition. In the present paper, we provide for a link between the continuous Lennard-Jones system and a lattice model. We apply the method for the (001) surface of a Lennard-Jones fcc structure pertaining to Argon. The corresponding lattice model is a Body Centered Solid on Solid model with an extended range of interaction, showing in principle rough, flat and disordered flat phases. We observe that entropy effects considerably lower the strength of the effective couplings between the atoms. The Argon (001) face is shown to exhibit a phase transition at T=70.5 +- 0.5 K, and we identify this transition as roughening. The roughening temperature is in good correspondence with experimental results for Argon.

description: Space has been conceived in many different ways by as many different disciplines. Lefebvre and Harvey suggest conceptions of space as approaches to understanding human interactions within our world. These same conceptions can be employed in a discussion of interactive space and how it is experienced and engaged with. Additionally, the very nature of interactivity facilitates other ideas that can be used to understand its landscape such as recursive space and the notion of how a person's perception of a space impacts their engagement with it.This research explores representations of interactive space within screen mediated environments. The work uses existing conceptions of space to understand interactivity as well as to inform new ways of challenging the stability of these spaces both theoretically and practically. The project takes a practice-led approach involving the creation and conceptualisation of my own work to theorise some of the possibilities of interactive media. The intent of this study is not so much to define interactive space in its entirety but rather to explore some of the potential ways that it can be theorised using a practice-led approach through the theoretical frameworks of assemblage and affect which, for me, are deeply embedded in the constructions of these spaces.

description: There is a growing consensus among policymakers that we need a human-centric low-carbon transition. There are few studies on how to do it effectively, especially in the context of emissions reduction in the building sector. It is critical to investigate public sentiment and attitudes towards this aspect of climate action, as the building and construction sector accounts for 40% of global carbon emissions. Our methodology involves a multi-method approach, using a data-driven exploration of public sentiment using 256,717 tweets containing #emission and #building between 2009 - 2021. Using graph theory-led metrics, a network topology-based investigation of hashtag co-occurrences was used to extract highly influential hashtags. Our results show that public sentiment is reactive to global climate policy events. Between 2009-2012, #greenbuilding, #emissions were highly influential, shaping the public discourse towards climate action. In 2013-2016, #lowcarbon, #construction and #energyefficiency had high centrality scores, which were replaced by hashtags like #climatetec, #netzero, #climateaction, #circulareconomy, and #masstimber, #climatejustice in 2017-2021. Results suggest that the current building emission reduction context emphasises the social and environmental justice dimensions, which is pivotal to an effective people-centric policymaking.

description: Most learning algorithms require the practitioner to manually set the values of many hyperparameters before the learning process can begin. However, with modern algorithms, the evaluation of a given hyperparameter setting can take a considerable amount of time and the search space is often very high-dimensional. We suggest using a lower-dimensional representation of the original data to quickly identify promising areas in the hyperparameter space. This information can then be used to initialize the optimization algorithm for the original, higher-dimensional data. We compare this approach with the standard procedure of optimizing the hyperparameters only on the original input. We perform experiments with various state-of-the-art hyperparameter optimization algorithms such as random search, the tree of parzen estimators (TPEs), sequential model-based algorithm configuration (SMAC), and a genetic algorithm (GA). Our experiments indicate that it is possible to speed up the optimization process by using lower-dimensional data representations at the beginning, while increasing the dimensionality of the input later in the optimization process. This is independent of the underlying optimization procedure, making the approach promising for many existing hyperparameter optimization algorithms.

The evolution of structure functions is precisely determined and well described by an effective coupling of the form 1/(beta_0(ln(Q^2/Lambda^2)+3.6(alpha_s(Q^2)ln(1/x))^1/2)) (until very small x). Corrections to the LO equation are relatively small, and the perturbative expansion is stable. Comparison to data via a global fit is very successful.

In platforms we trust: misinformation on social networks in the presence of social mistrust

description: We examine the effect social mistrust has on the propagation of misinformation on a social network. Agents communicate with each other and observe information sources, changing their opinion with some probability determined by their social trust, which can be low or high. Low social trust agents are less likely to be convinced out of their opinion by their peers and, in line with recent empirical literature, are more likely to observe misinformative information sources. A platform facilitates the creation of a homophilic network where users are more likely to connect with agents of the same level of social trust and the same social characteristics. Networks in which worldview is relatively important in determining network structure have more pronounced echo chambers, reducing the extent to which high and low social trust agents interact. Due to the asymmetric nature of these interactions, echo chambers then decrease the probability that agents believe misinformation. At the same time, they increase polarisation, as disagreeing agents interact less frequently, leading to a trade-off which has implications for the optimal intervention of a platform wishing to reduce misinformation. We characterise this intervention by delineating the most effective change in the platform's algorithm, which for peer-to-peer connections involves reducing the extent to which relatively isolated high and low social trust agents interact with one another.
The Musicality of 140: Tempo, Rhythm and Structure

subject: FOS: Arts (arts, history of arts, performing arts, music)

description: This paper explores relationships between video games and music through a close reading of the minimalistic platform game 140 (Carlsen, 2014). Of particular interest to this investigation are concepts of tempo, rhythm and structure, and how these ideas can be extended to discuss the immediate case study as well as video games as a medium. Most importantly, this analysis is concerned primarily with these elements in a performative, spatio-temporal sense as opposed to an expression of sonic qualities.
Comparisons between video games and other forms of media, while certainly valuable, can become problematic as the interactive nature of games is inherently unique. While cinema or literary texts can be seen as interactive, it is the explicit nature of the interactivity that games manifest which sets them apart from other disciplines. It is in this sense, that commonality can be found between games and music through the act of play.140 facilitates a unique dialogue on this topic as it is a game that is intensely musical while also functioning outside of some of the precincts of traditional music games, providing a distinctive lens for analysis without being distracted by its own aesthetics. Evidence of this can be seen in the game’s design, aesthetics, mechanics and spatiality—a game where the player becomes part of a greater performance, enacting the musicality of space through play.

description: GraphQL is a query language and thereupon-based paradigm for implementing web Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for client-server interactions. Using GraphQL, clients define precise, nested data-requirements in typed queries, which are resolved by servers against (possibly multiple) backend systems, like databases, object storages, or other APIs. Clients receive only the data they care about, in a single request. However, providers of existing REST(-like) APIs need to implement additional GraphQL interfaces to enable these advantages. We here assess the feasibility of automatically generating GraphQL wrappers for existing REST(-like) APIs. A wrapper, upon receiving GraphQL queries, translates them to requests against the target API. We discuss the challenges for creating such wrappers, including dealing with data sanitation, authentication, or handling nested queries. We furthermore present a prototypical implementation of OASGraph. OASGraph takes as input an OpenAPI Specification (OAS) describing an existing REST(-like) web API and generates a GraphQL wrapper for it. We evaluate OASGraph by running it, as well as an existing open source alternative, against 959 publicly available OAS. This experiment shows that OASGraph outperforms the existing alternative and is able to create a GraphQL wrapper for 89.5% of the APIs -- however, with limitations in many cases. A subsequent analysis of errors and warnings produced by OASGraph shows that missing or ambiguous information in the assessed OAS hinders creating complete wrappers. Finally, we present a use case of the IBM Watson Language Translator API that shows that small changes to an OAS allow OASGraph to generate more idiomatic and more expressive GraphQL wrappers.

description: We investigate the long-term macroeconomic effects of climate change across 48 U.S. states over the period 1963-2016 using a novel econometric strategy which links deviations of temperature and precipitation (weather) from their long-term moving-average historical norms (climate) to various state-specific economic performance indicators at the aggregate and sectoral levels. We show that climate change has a long-lasting adverse impact on real output in various states and economic sectors, and on labour productivity and employment in the United States. Moreover, in contrast to most cross-country results, our within U.S. estimates tend to be asymmetrical with respect to deviations of climate variables (including precipitation) from their historical norms.

description: The Foveaux Strait oyster (Ostrea chilensis) fishery in southern New Zealand comprises many localised populations (oyster beds) that have survived disease mortality and 150 years of fishing. The reproductive biology of O. chilensis underlies the assumption that these populations are self-recruiting. A three-year study using passive, artificial collectors deployed in a gradient design around an isolated natal population investigated the hypothesis of self-recruitment. Spat settlement patterns measured the distributions of competent larvae as indicators of dispersal. This research also investigated the relationship between settler and brooder densities. Settler densities were not predicted by direction along or across the current, distance from the focal population, or by brooder densities. Settlement was widespread, and settlement patterns imply greater dispersal and larval mixing than previously reported. The swift currents and variable pelagic larval duration may enhance mixing and connectivity between populations. Demographically open recruitment should provide some resilience to disease mortality and fishing.
The Ultra-Fast Outflow of WKK 4438: Suzaku and NuSTAR X-ray Spectral Analysis

description: Previous X-ray spectral analysis has revealed an increasing number of AGNs with high accretion rates where an outflow with a mildly relativistic velocity originates from the inner accretion disk. Here we report the detection of a new ultra-fast outflow (UFO) with a velocity of $v_{\rm out}=0.319^{+0.005}_{-0.008}c$ in addition to a relativistic disk reflection component in a poorly studied NLS1 WKK~4438, based on archival \nustar and \suzaku observations. The spectra of both \suzaku and \nustar observations show an Fe~\textsc{xxvi} absorption feature and the \suzaku data also show evidence for an Ar~\textsc{xviii} with the same blueshift. A super-solar argon abundance ($Z^{\prime}_{\rm Ar}>6Z_{\odot}$) and a slight iron over-abundance ($Z^{\prime}_{\rm Fe}=2.6^{+1.9}_{-2.0}Z_{\odot}$) are found in our spectral modelling. Based on Monte-Carlo simulations, the detection of the UFO is estimated to be around at 3$σ$ significance. The fast wind most likely arises from a radius of $\geq20r_g$ away from the central black hole. The disk is accreting at a high Eddington ratio ($L_{\rm bol}=0.4-0.7L_{\rm Edd}$). The mass outflow rate of the UFO is comparable with the disk mass inflow rate ($\dot M_{\rm out}>30\%\dot M_{\rm in}$), assuming a maximum covering factor. The kinetic power of the wind might not be high enough to have influence in AGN feedback ($\dot E_{\rm wind}/L_{\rm bol}\approx 3-5\%$) due to a relatively small column density ($12^{+9}_{-4}\times10^{22}$~cm$^{-2}$). However note that both the inferred velocity and the column density could be lower limits owing to the low viewing angle ($i=23^{+3}_{-2}$$^{\circ}$).

description: Hot flow anomalies (HFAs) are studied using observations of the magnetometer and the plasma instrument aboard the four Cluster spacecraft. We study several specific features of tangential discontinuities on the basis of Cluster measurements from the time periods of February-April 2003, December 2005-April 2006 and January-April 2007, when the separation distance of spacecraft was large. The previously discovered condition (Facsko et al., 2008) for forming HFAs is confirmed, i.e. that the solar wind speed and fast magnetosonic Mach number values are higher than average. Furthermore, this constraint is independent of the Schwartz et al. (2000)s condition for HFA formation. The existence of this new condition is confirmed by simultaneous ACE magnetic field and solar wind plasma observations at the L1 point, at 1.4 million km distance from the Earth. The temperature, particle density and pressure parameters observed at the time of HFA formation are also studied and compared to average values of the solar wind plasma. The size of the region affected by the HFA was estimated by using two different methods. We found that the size is mainly influenced by the magnetic shear and the angle between the discontinuity normal and the Sun-Earth direction. The size grows with the shear and (up to a certain point) with the angle as well. After that point it starts decreasing. The results are compared with the outcome of recent hybrid simulations.

description: This paper documents that the COVID-19 pandemic induced pressures on the health care system have significant adverse knock-on effects on the accessibility and quality of non-COVID-19 care. We observe persistently worsened performance and longer waiting times in A&E; drastically limited access to specialist care; notably delayed or inaccessible diagnostic services; acutely undermined access to and quality of cancer care. We find that providers under COVID-19 pressures experience notably more excess deaths among non-COVID related hospital episodes such as, for example, for treatment of heart attacks. We estimate there to be at least one such non-COVID-19 related excess death among patients being admitted to hospital for non-COVID-19 reasons for every 30 COVID-19 deaths that is caused by the disruption to the quality of care due to COVID-19. In total, this amounts to 4,003 non COVID-19 excess deaths from March 2020 to February 2021. Further, there are at least 32,189 missing cancer patients that should counterfactually have started receiving treatment which suggests continued increased numbers of excess deaths in the future due to delayed access to care in the past.

description: We implement a technique for measuring the singlet-triplet energy splitting responsible for spin-to-charge conversion in semiconductor quantum dots. This method, which requires fast, single-shot charge measurement, reliably extracts an energy in the limits of both large and small splittings. We perform this technique on an undoped, accumulation-mode Si/SiGe triple-quantum dot and find that the measured splitting varies smoothly as a function of confinement gate biases. Not only does this demonstration prove the value of having an $in~situ$ excited-state measurement technique as part of a standard tune-up procedure, it also suggests that in typical Si/SiGe quantum dot devices, spin-blockade can be limited by lateral orbital excitation energy rather than valley splitting.

Structure function of the nucleus in the perturbative QCD with $N_c\to\infty$ (BFKL pomeron fan diagrams)
Creators: name: Braun, M. A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Equation for the sum of BFKL pomeron fan diagrams is rederived by direct summation and solved numerically for rapidities $y\leq 50$. At high rapidities y>20 the resulting cross-sections for the scattering of a longitudinally polarized $q\bar q$ pair on the nucleus cease to depend on its transverse dimension and tend to a constant limit 0.1768 $R_A^2$, which corresponds to scattering of a colour dipole on a black disk. Thus the unitarity is restored and the singularity in the j plane is reduced to a simple pole at j=1.The nuclear structure function at small x behaves as $Q^2\ln(1/x)$. The found gluon density has a soliton-like form in the $\log k$ space: its form is close to Gaussian, independent of rapidity, the centermoving towards higher $\log k$ with a nearly constant velocity as rapidity increases.

description: Hot flow anomalies (HFAs) are studied using observations of the RAPID suprathermal charged particle detector, the FGM magnetometer, and the CIS plasma detector aboard the four Cluster spacecraft. Previously, we studied several specific features of tangential discontinuities on the basis of Cluster measurements in February-April 2003. In this paper, we confirm the following results: the angle between the Sun direction and the tangentional discontinuity (TD) normal is larger than 45° during HFAs, the magnetic field directional change is large. We then present evidence for a new necessary condition for the formation of HFAs, that is, the solar wind speed is significantly ( about 200 km/s or dMf=2.3) higher than the long-term average. The existence of this condition is also confirmed by simultaneous ACE MAG and SWEPAM solar wind observations at the L1 point 1.4 million km upstream of the Earth. The results are compared with recent hybrid simulations.

description: The properties of the high energy pions observed in heavy ion collisions, in particular in the system Au on Au at 1 GeV/nucleon are investigated. The reaction dynamics is described within the Quantum Molecular Dynamics (QMD) approach. It is shown that high energy pions freeze out early and originate from the hot, compressed matter. $N^*$--resonances are found to give an important contribution toward the high energy tail of the pion. Further the role of in-medium effects in the description of charged pion yields and spectra is investigated using a microscopic potential derived from the Brueckner G-matrix which is obtained with the Reid soft-core potential. It is seen that the high energy part of the spectra is relatively more suppressed due to in-medium effects as compared to the low energy part. A comparision to experiments further demonstrates that the present calculations describe reasonably well the neutral (TAPS) and charged (FOPI) pion spectra. The observed energy dependence of the $π^-/π^+$ ratio, i.e. deviations from the isobar model prediction, is due to Coulomb effects and again indicate that high energy pions probe the hot and dense phase of the reaction. These findings are confirmed independently by a simple phase space analysis.
