description: Recently, a variational approach has been introduced for the paradigmatic Kardar--Parisi--Zhang (KPZ) equation. Here we review that approach, together with the functional Taylor expansion that the KPZ nonequilibrium potential (NEP) admits. Such expansion becomes naturally truncated at third order, giving rise to a nonlinear stochastic partial differential equation to be regarded as a gradient-flow counterpart to the KPZ equation. A dynamic renormalization group analysis at one-loop order of this new mesoscopic model yields the KPZ scaling relation alpha+z=2, as a consequence of the exact cancelation of the different contributions to vertex renormalization. This result is quite remarkable, considering the lower degree of symmetry of this equation, which is in particular not Galilean invariant. In addition, this scheme is exploited to inquire about the dynamical behavior of the KPZ equation through a path-integral approach. Each of these aspects offers novel points of view and sheds light on particular aspects of the dynamics of the KPZ equation.

description: The Belle detector operated at KEKb B-factory in 1999-2010 was one of the most remarkable experiments in the field of elementary particle physics of the last decades. The Belle successor, Belle II collaboration, is aimed to operate the Belle II detector at SuperKEKb factory at 40 times higher luminosity. Increased luminosity imposes new requirements on the detector elements: they have to survive at higher radiation levels, to operate at higher loads and at higher backgrounds. The Belle K_L and muon system based on the resistive plate chambers (RPC) technology worked well during all data taking period, however at Belle II environments its performance decreases to negligible level due to increasing load and high neutron background. To sustain detector operation it will be replaced by the new system based on the scintillation strips read-out by silicon photomultipliers. The latter technology allows not only to reach time resolution at level of 1 ns but also perform the amplitude measurements. Nowadays the production of the new EKLM system's elements are under way. The assembly at KEK is started this fall.

description: Social groups play a crucial role in social media platforms because they form the basis for user participation and engagement. Groups are created explicitly by members of the community, but also form organically as members interact. Due to their importance, they have been studied widely (e.g., community detection, evolution, activity, etc.). One of the key questions for understanding how such groups evolve is whether there are different types of groups and how they differ. In Sociology, theories have been proposed to help explain how such groups form. In particular, the common identity and common bond theory states that people join groups based on identity (i.e., interest in the topics discussed) or bond attachment (i.e., social relationships). The theory has been applied qualitatively to small groups to classify them as either topical or social. We use the identity and bond theory to define a set of features to classify groups into those two categories. Using a dataset from Flickr, we extract user-defined groups and automatically-detected groups, obtained from a community detection algorithm. We discuss the process of manual labeling of groups into social or topical and present results of predicting the group label based on the defined features. We directly validate the predictions of the theory showing that the metrics are able to forecast the group type with high accuracy. In addition, we present a comparison between declared and detected groups along topicality and sociality dimensions.

description: In March 2012, CCRC released two studies examining how well two widely used assessment tests—COMPASS and ACCUPLACER—predict the subsequent performance of entering students in their college-level courses. The studies, Do High-Stakes Placement Exams Predict College Success? and Predicting Success in College: The Importance of Placement Tests and High School Transcripts, can be found at http://ccrc.tc.columbia.edu. Both studies found that assessment scores are not highly predictive of subsequent student performance and that many students are misplaced in college-level and developmental classes based on their scores on these tests. This document is intended to address some of the frequently asked questions about the studies.
The realization of higher-dimensional breaking mechanism

description: We study D-branes on Calabi-Yau threefolds, which are realized through the blowing up the singularity of orbifold. This D-branes are represented as sheaves, which can be stable or unstable, what is connected with the transition in the Teichm$\ddot{u}$ller space. Using the derived category of McKay quiver representations, which describe D-branes as quivers and open superstrings between them by Ext groups, we can represent Higgs multiplets by the moduli space of an open superstring, connecting two McKay quivers. Through the equivalence between the derived category of coherent sheaves and triangulated category of distinguished triangles over the abelian category of McKay quivers we can associate D-branes with quivers or with sheaves, defined on Calabi-Yau. After the dimensional reduction of the ten-dimensional space-time we can receive matter content of the four-dimensional space-time. Thus, a higher-dimensional breaking mechanism is associated with four-dimensional GUT Higgs multiplets and symmetry breaking higgs mechanism.

description: The global undersea cable network is the backbone of the internet and hence of contemporary numeric-based civilization, as it carries 99% of all transoceanic communications. The main goal of this thesis is to understand how the U.S., the current cable network hegemon, maximizes its power and interests by leveraging the global undersea cable network, and whether China or Russia threatens American hegemony over the global undersea cable network? In the first part, I will show that great powers have throughout history behaved as hegemony-seekers leveraging the global undersea cable network to maximize their power. In the second part, I will examine the current American hegemony over the global undersea cable network. In the third part, I will examine the potential challengers or threats to U.S. hegemony, namely Russia and China. In the conclusion, I will provide some recommendations for the U.S. in order to address these threats.

description: Student success courses serve as extended college orientations for entering students. These courses— also known as College 101 or Introduction to College courses—typically impart college know how by providing information about campus policies and services, assistance with academic and career planning, and instruction in study habits and personal skills. They are based on the premise that nonacademic skills and behaviors are as germane to college success as academic preparation. The structure and focus of student success courses vary widely. Some are one-credit courses, and some are worth three credits. Sometimes success courses are combined with an academic course. Some focus primarily on college readiness skills, such as note taking, and others take a more holistic approach and include topics such as personal wellness. The courses are generally taught by adjuncts and support services staff. According to a 2009 survey of more than 1,000 two- and four-year institutions, 87 percent of participating colleges offered a first-year student success course. A more recent survey of 288 community colleges found that 83 percent offered such a course.

description: The Density Matrix Renormalization Group algorithm is used to characterize the ground states of one-dimensional coupled cavities in the regime of low photon densities. Numerical results for photon and spin excitation densities, one- and two-body correlation functions, superfluid and condensate fractions, as well as the entanglement entropy and localizable entanglement are obtained for the Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard (JCH) model, and are compared with those for the Bose-Hubbard (BH) model where applicable. The results indicate that a Tonks-Girardeau phase, in which the photons are strongly fermionized, appears between the Mott-insulating and superfluid phases as a function of the inter-cavity coupling. In fact, the superfluid density is found to be zero in a wide region outside the Mott-insulator phase boundary. The presence of two different species of excitation (spin and photon) in the JCH model gives rise to properties with no analog in the BH model, such as the (quasi)condensation of spin excitations and the spontaneous generation of entanglement between the atoms confined to each cavity.

Towards Unsupervised Learning of Temporal Relations between Events

description: Automatic extraction of temporal relations between event pairs is an important task for several natural language processing applications such as Question Answering, Information Extraction, and Summarization. Since most existing methods are supervised and require large corpora, which for many languages do not exist, we have concentrated our efforts to reduce the need for annotated data as much as possible. This paper presents two different algorithms towards this goal. The first algorithm is a weakly supervised machine learning approach for classification of temporal relations between events. In the first stage, the algorithm learns a general classifier from an annotated corpus. Then, inspired by the hypothesis of "one type of temporal relation per discourse, it extracts useful information from a cluster of topically related documents. We show that by combining the global information of such a cluster with local decisions of a general classifier, a bootstrapping cross-document classifier can be built to extract temporal relations between events. Our experiments show that without any additional annotated data, the accuracy of the proposed algorithm is higher than that of several previous successful systems. The second proposed method for temporal relation extraction is based on the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm. Within EM, we used different techniques such as a greedy best-first search and integer linear programming for temporal inconsistency removal. We think that the experimental results of our EM based algorithm, as a first step toward a fully unsupervised temporal relation extraction method, is encouraging.

description: "The repeated abuse of Article 306 by prosecutors in China has largely intimidated the defense bar, rendering China’s criminal justice system dysfunctional. Article 306 is primarily used by prosecutors at the local level. Thus, understanding the reasons for its abuses requires detailed examination of the local incentive structure. I will argue that the abuse of Article 306 is in part a result of the cultural and institutional difficulties posed by the transition from an inquisitorial system, in which the prosecutor was dominant, to an adversarial one that formally subordinates the prosecutor to judges and places them on equal footing with the defense. Within this climate of uncertainty, prosecutors are able to use their immense power against their adversaries without any real checks. As a result, repeal or revision of Article 306 will accomplish little if the local incentive structure that leads to abuse and the central politics that formed the structure are not addressed. !is paper will examine the enabling factors and current incentives behind prosecutorial abuse. It will then examine what reformers might learn from the politics and history of China’s criminal reforms in the 1990s. It will close with a series of structural reforms that could alter the incentive structure at the local level and protect defense lawyers from suffering harm for merely representing their clients."--from page 128-129

Discounting the Standard Model: Why the Ramsey Model Does Not Adequately Explain Climate Change Policy

description: "Any speciﬁc climate policy recommendation—from those promoting a ‘business-as-usual’ trajectory to those promoting aggressive mitigation in the immediate future—can be justiﬁed via some particular set of values for relevant parameters as demonstrated in Guo et al. (2006), Tol (2009), and Anthoﬀ, Tol, and Yohe (2009a, 2009b), which makes separating climate policy evaluation from value judgements stemming from individual or societal perspectives impossible. This paper, which provides a backward-looking framework for evaluating future strategies to deal with anthropogenic climate change, is not intended to provide any deﬁnitive. judgment of the means of ensuring intergenerational equity in policy analysis or the optimality of any particular method of discounting; rather, its empirical component is geared toward opening up avenues for future research in the welfare aspects of mitigating climate change. In a similar vein of argument to that of Tóth (2000), there is no presumption that beneﬁt-cost analysis with discounting is necessarily a proper means of evaluating climate change mitigation policy, but rather an extension of theoretical arguments proposed by Dasgupta (2000, 2009), who has raised concerns about the eﬃcacy of intergenerational welfare economics in addressing issues to which it is directed: empirical data to test the validity of the standard model and to examine its underpinnings in practice. The practical aspects of the ﬁndings from our exercise rely on the presumption that the standard model is a valid descriptor of intergenerational welfare economics. There is ample evidence from both theory and practice to substantiate claims that the standard model is of limited applicability in questions of intergenerational welfare, and the plausible nature of such claims is highlighted in this paper. Arguably, one can interpret the empirical argument of this paper, while focused on discounting, as justiﬁcation for ﬁnding alternative methods of evaluation."--from page 105-106

description: We derive a suite of generalized Boltzmann equations, based on the density-matrix formalism, that incorporates the physics of neutrino oscillations for two- and three-flavor oscillations, matter refraction, and self-refraction. The resulting equations are straightforward extensions of the classical transport equations that nevertheless contain the full physics of quantum oscillation phenomena. In this way, our broadened formalism provides a bridge between the familiar neutrino transport algorithms employed by supernova modelers and the more quantum-heavy approaches frequently employed to illuminate the various neutrino oscillation effects. We also provide the corresponding angular-moment versions of this generalized equation set. Our goal is to make it easier for astrophysicists to address oscillation phenomena in a language with which they are familiar. The equations we derive are simple and practical, and are intended to facilitate progress concerning oscillation phenomena in the context of core-collapse supernova theory.

description: Students attending community colleges are faced with a variety of complex procedures and decisions. They must not only navigate financial aid applications and registration but also choose the type of credential they will pursue, their major (often from among hundreds) and the courses they will enroll in (often from among thousands). At the same time, they must take into account how course choices serve their long-term goals as well as their immediate logistical needs; for instance, some courses may count for financial aid purposes but not for graduation, or for graduation but not transfer. For many community college students—a significant portion of whom are the first in their family to attend college—these tasks appear to be insurmountable hurdles. The sheer number of choices students face can lead them to stumble. Students may waste time and money on unnecessary courses; they may miss a financial aid deadline. These stumbles can contribute to a sense that they do not “belong” in college. Advisors help students make choices in a complex environment, often by explaining the costs and benefits of each available option, and they guide students to additional resources that will help them make good decisions.

description: The quantum capacitance of graphene can be negative when the graphene is placed in a strong magnetic field, which is a clear experimental signature of positional correlations between electrons. Here we show that the quantum capacitance of graphene is also strongly affected by its dielectric polarizability, which in a magnetic field is wave vector-dependent. We study this effect both theoretically and experimentally. We develop a theory and numerical procedure for accounting for the graphene dielectric response, and we present measurements of the quantum capacitance of high-quality graphene capacitors on boron nitride. Theory and experiment are found to be in good agreement.

description: Metrology in atomic physics has been crucial for a number of advanced determinations of fundamental constants. In addition to very precise frequency measurements, the molar polarizability of an atomic gas has recently also been measured very accurately. Part of the motivation for the measurements is due to ongoing efforts to redefine the International System of Units (SI) for which an accurate value of the Boltzmann constant is needed. Here, we calculate the dominant shift of the molar polarizability in an atomic gas due to thermal effects. It is given by the relativistic correction to the dipole interaction, which emerges when the probing electric field is Lorenz transformed into the rest frame of the atoms that undergo thermal motion. While this effect is small when compared to currently available experimental accuracy, the relativistic correction to the dipole interaction is much larger than the thermal shift of the polarizability induced by blackbody radiation.

This problem is generally NP-complete; in particular, it is hard for a defined class of valuation functions which are independent of disconnected members - that is, two nodes have no effect on each other's marginal contribution to their vertex separator. Nonetheless, for all such functions we provide bounds on the complexity of coalition structure generation over general and minor-free graphs. Our proof is constructive and yields algorithms for solving corresponding instances of the problem. Furthermore, we derive linear time bounds for graphs of bounded treewidth. However, as we show, the problem remains NP-complete for planar graphs, and hence, for any K_k minor free graphs where k \geq 5. Moreover, a 3-SAT problem with m clauses can be represented by a coalition structure generation problem over a planar graph with O(m^2) nodes. Importantly, our hardness result holds for a particular subclass of valuation functions, termed edge sum, where the value of each subset of nodes is simply determined by the sum of given weights of the edges in the induced subgraph.

description: As technology advances, new types of devices and increasing compatibility of data formats make it possible to use files previously accessible on only one or two devices. For example, a person might wish to access a business file (formerly stored on a work computer or perhaps even in a file cabinet at the office) from her smart phone. Similarly, another might wish to access his MP3 collection (stored on an iPod or personal computer) from his work computer. Such technological progress has paved the way for innovative digital, cable and Internet services that enable users to enjoy copyrighted content in new ways: from time-shifting via VCRs to place-shifting via new TV devices; from instantly purchasing a movie through video on demand to watching a live stream of sports coverage on the Internet. One type of service that has recently proliferated is the digital storage locker—also known as the cyber locker.

description: We searched for a sidereal modulation in the rate of neutrinos observed by the MINOS far detector. The detection of these signals could be a signature of neutrino-antineutrino mixing due to Lorentz and CPT violation as described by the Standard-Model Extension framework. We found no evidence for these sidereal signals and we placed limits on the coefficients in this theory describing the effect.

description: More than ninety percent of the art on display in museums in the United States was acquired through private donations. Furthermore, over eighty percent of new acquisitions made annually by museums occur via donation. Although these gifts are certainly motivated by the altruism of individual donors, the availability of tax deductions creates a significant additional incentive to give. Thus, a tax system that encourages such donations has positive effects on both donors and museums. In making their gifts, donors are frequently motivated to choose the donation structure that results in the greatest possible tax deduction. However, other concerns, including the timing of the gift and associated deduction, whether to retain possession of the artwork during their lifetimes, and the possibility of combining a donation with income-generating activity also influence the form of donation chosen. Until recently, the fractional gift was one method of donation that was particularly popular with collectors donating valuable and historically significant works. A fractional gift is made when a donor contributes a percentage of their full interest in a work or collection of works to a museum. Fractional giving provided substantial tax advantages to donors, who generally could retain the artwork until the gift was complete, take advantage of appreciation in the work’s value by taking larger deductions when donating subsequent fractions, and spread the donations over sufficient time to deduct the work’s full value. The Pension Protection Act of 2006, however, essentially ended fractional giving by eliminating these unique advantages.

description: In response to the poor educational outcomes of students referred to developmental education, a number of states have redesigned their developmental curriculum and course structures to accelerate students’ progression through developmental requirements (Hodara, Jaggars, and Karp, 2012). Developmental education reforms often include the design and introduction of new entry assessments (placement exams) that are aligned to the college-level curriculum and intended to identify the skills and knowledge students have mastered and those they need to develop (Hodara et al., 2012). New customized assessments aim to place students into coursework more accurately than a standardized placement exam would, thus improving the likelihood that students will take only the courses they need to be prepared for introductory coursework in their degree programs.
Despite an increased focus on the instruments used during the assessment and placement process (Belfield and Crosta, 2012; Scott-Clayton, 2012), little attention has been devoted to how community college students experience assessment and placement (Venezia, Bracco, and Nodine, 2010). In this research brief, we use interview and survey data to illuminate student experiences with and perspectives on the math assessment and placement process at four community colleges in an eastern state system implementing new customized placement exams.
The findings presented in this brief are drawn from surveys completed by 122 students enrolled at four community colleges and from seven student focus groups with a total of 34 students at those same colleges. All student participants were enrolled in developmental math in fall 2012, when the data were collected.

description: Too many students who graduate from high school are underprepared for college-level coursework. To address this problem, states are increasingly administering assessments in the 11th grade to measure students’ college readiness. Some states are also beginning to offer transition curricula, developed by secondary and postsecondary faculty, that are designed to help at-risk students avoid remediation and become better prepared for the challenges of college. Based largely on interviews with stakeholders in California, New York, Tennessee, and West Virginia, this report describes how these four states have developed initiatives related to early college readiness assessments and transition curricula. Leaders in each state have made particular choices in the design of each program, including what assessment to use; how to determine what level of performance on an assessment aligns with college-level expectations; whether transition curricula should focus on math, English, or both; and how students should be placed into transition courses. In comparing the development of these interventions across states, we identify several central challenges: Given that high school students will attend different colleges and pursue different college programs, how should college readiness be defined? Should transition curricula focus on having students pass remedial placement tests, or should the curricula cover a broader range of skills needed for success in college courses? Should transition courses be offered to all low-performing students or only those who are nearly college ready? While early college assessments and transition curricula are promising approaches for improving students’ college readiness, findings from our study suggest that strong collaboration between the K-12 and higher education sectors in developing these initiatives is essential for ensuring that the skills and knowledge taught and assessed in high school are well aligned with those needed for success in college. What is more, program designers need to carefully consider competing priorities concerning initiative goals, populations served, and course content. The study also suggests that state-level commitment to improving college readiness in the form of legislation may be helpful in building support and momentum for these initiatives. More research is needed on the impact of these two interrelated and relatively new interventions. CCRC plans to pursue additional research in the four states discussed in this report.
