NGC 1866: a workbench for stellar evolution

description: The young LMC cluster NGC 1866 represents the ideal laboratory for testing stellar evolutionary models: in particular, it can be used to discriminate among classical stellar models, in which the extension of the convective regions is fixed by the classical Schwarzschild criterion, from models with overshooting, in which an ``extra-mixing'' is considered to take place beyond the classical limit of the convective zone. Addressing this subject in a recent work, Testa et al. (1999) reached the conclusion that the classical scheme for the treatment of convection represents a good and sufficient approximation for convective interiors. Using their own data, we repeat here the analysis. First we revise the procedure followed by Testa et al. (1999) to correct the data for completeness, second we calculate new stellar models with updated physical input for both evolutionary schemes, finally we present many simulations of the colour-magnitude diagrams and luminosity functions of the cluster using the ratio of the integrated luminosity function of main sequence stars to the number of giants as the normalization factor of the simulations. We also take into account several possible physical agents that could alter the color-magnitude diagram and the luminosity function: they are unresolved binary stars, dispersion in the age, stochastic effects in the initial mass function. Their effect is analyzed separately, with the conclusion that binary stars have the largest impact. The main result of this study is that the convective overshoot hypothesis (together with a suitable percentage of unresolved binaries) is really needed to fully match the whole pattern of data. The main drawback of the classical models is that they cannot reproduce the correct ratio of main sequence to post-main sequence stars.

description: In the semi-constrained NMSSM (scNMSSM, or NMSSM with non-universal Higgs mass) under current constraints, we consider a scenario where $h_2$ is the SM-like Higgs, $\tildeχ^0_1$ is singlino-dominated LSP, $\tildeχ^{\pm}_1$ and $\tildeχ^0_{2,3}$ are mass-degenerated, light and higgsino-dominated NLSPs (next-to-lightest supersymmetric particles). We investigate the constraints to these NLSPs from searching for SUSY particles at the LHC Run-I and Run-II, discuss the possibility of discovering these NLSPs in the future, and come to the following conclusions: (i) With all data of Run I and up to 36 $\rm fb^{-1}$ data of Run II at the LHC, the search results by ATLAS and CMS can still not exclude the higgsino-dominated NLSPs of $100\sim200$ GeV. (ii) When the mass difference with $\tildeχ^0_{1}$ is smaller than $m_{h_2}$, $\tildeχ^0_{2}$ and $\tildeχ^0_{3}$ have opposite preference on decaying to $Z/Z^*$ or $h_1$. (iii) When the mass difference between NLSP and LSP is larger than $m_Z$, most of the samples can be checked at $5σ$ level with future 300 $\rm fb^{-1}$ data at the LHC. While with 3000 $\rm fb^{-1}$ data at the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), nearly all of the samples can be checked at $5σ$ level even if the mass difference is insufficient. (iv) The $a_1$ funnel and the $h_2/Z$ funnel mechanisms for the singlino-dominated LSP annihilating can not be distinguished by searching for NLSPs.

description: Promoting fruit and vegetable consumption is one of the main objectives of food and nutrition policy interventions worldwide. Public institutions, non-governmental organizations, research and health agencies together with market stakeholders undertake integrated initiatives to inform consumers about the health benefits of everyday fruit and vegetable intake. In the European Union several campaigns aimed at increasing produce demand have been launched in the nineties to improve the dietary patterns of the general population or specific consumer groups, such as children. However statistics show that fruit and vegetable intake in most EU states including new members is much below the recommended level. School-aged children, women and employees are currently the main target groups of “5 a day’ information and promotion activities aimed at increasing f&v consumption. In order to secure long-term effectiveness of such programs the main determinants of consumer choice in the food market should be monitored. Broad public-private partnerships, including producers and distributors seem to be the key to strengthening the efforts at “pushing’ market demand. Some of the campaigns developed and implemented in the European Union countries can be described as “5 a day’ best practices. The involvement of fruit and vegetable chain participants, cooperation and evaluation of undertaken interventions are further needed in order for the programs to become more efficient and widespread.

description: This dissertation analyses the idea that parliament controls public money in parliamentary constitutional systems of government. That analysis proceeds through an historical and contemporary examination of the way legal practices distribute authority over public money between different institutions of government. The legislative and judicial practices concerning taxation, public expenditure, sovereign borrowing, and the government financing activities of central banks are selected for close attention. The contemporary analysis focuses on the design and operation of those legal practices in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth of Australia, in the context of the boom-bust-recovery economic conditions experienced between 2005 and 2016. The dissertation’s ultimate claims are explanatory: that “parliamentary control” is a poor explanation of the distribution of financial authority in parliamentary systems of government and should be jettisoned in favour of an idea of “parliamentary ratification”. An empirically engaged methodology is adopted throughout the dissertation and (historical and contemporary) public sector financial data enrich the legal analysis. The dissertation acknowledges the impact of, but remains agnostic between, different economic and political perspectives on fiscal discipline and public financial administration. The dissertation makes a number of original contributions. It provides a detailed examination of the historical development, legal operation and constitutional significance of annual appropriation legislation, and the legal regimes governing sovereign borrowing and monetary finance. It also analyses the way that law interacts with government behaviour in situations of economic emergencies (focusing on the Bank of England’s public financing activities since 2008), and the institutional and doctrinal obstacles facing judicial involvement in disputes concerning public finance (focusing on the Australian judiciary’s recent engagements with public expenditure legislation).

description: We analyze whether, and if so by how much, stable funding would have contributed to the financial soundness of German banks in the time period between 1995 and 2013, before the Basel III liquidity regulation to address excessive maturity mismatches in the wake of the financial crisis via the Net Stable Funding Ratio can be expected to have been fully implemented. Using a dataset that contains information on critical events of German banks, we find that financing loans using fewer customer deposits would have been associated with a higher probability of financial distress for savings banks and credit cooperatives. A one percent rise in the loan to-deposit ratio from 1995 to 2013 corresponds to an increase in the probability of experiencing a critical event, implying approximately two additional savings banks and two additional credit cooperatives in financial distress. No such effect can be detected for commercial banks (excluding big banks), which are found to be far more heterogeneous with respect to their business models.

description: This study examines the economic globalization and the shadow economy nexus in Egypt. Using time series data from 1976 to 2013, the impulse response analysis shows that the response of the shadow economy in Egypt to positive shocks in economic globalization is negative and statistically significant for the first three years following the shock. This finding is obtained by controlling for several intermediary channels in globalization-shadow economy nexus such as education, government spending, industrial production, and labor force participation. Our results show the importance of promoting economic globalization by reducing the costs of doing business and trade in dealing with sizable shadow economy in Egypt.

description: This article presents a review of the finite element method (FEM) model based on the $H$ formulation of Maxwell's equations used to calculate AC losses in high temperature superconductor (HTS) tapes, cables and windings for different applications. This model, which uses the components of the magnetic field as state variables, has been gaining a great popularity and has been in use in tens of research groups around the world. This contribution first reviews the equations on which the model is based and their implementation in finite element method programs for different cases, such 2D longitudinal and axis-symmetric geometries, 3D geometries. Modeling strategies to tackle large number of HTS tapes, such as multi-scale and homogenization methods, are also introduced. Then, the second part of the article reviews the applications for which the $H$ formulations has been used to calculate AC losses, ranging from individual tapes, to complex cables and large magnet windings. Afterwards, a section is dedicated to the discussion of the $H$ formulation in terms of computational efficiency and easiness of implementation. Its pros and cons are listed. Finally, the last section draws the main conclusions.

approval in influencing a firm’s incentives to acquire information about
product risk, using a very parsimonious model. The firm may have in-
sufficient information acquisition incentives when it is not fully liable
for the harm caused by its product. The firm may also have excessive
information acquisition incentives under both full and limited liability.
We highlight efficiency inducing liability rules.

In the program register the set of instructions (program) is encoded. This program is applied to the data register. The processor can perform any operation on a single qudit of the dimension N with a certain probability. If the operation is unitary, the probability is in general 1/N^2, but for more restricted sets of operators the probability can be higher. In fact, this probability can be independent of the dimension of the qudit Hilbert space of the qudit under some conditions.

description: This paper studies the transmission of ECB monetary policy, both at the
aggregate euro area and the country level. We estimate a VAR model for the
euro area in which monetary policy shocks are identified using an external
instrument that reflects policy surprises. For that purpose we use the change
in German bunds at meeting days of the Governing Council. The identified
monetary policy shock is then put into country-specific local projections in
order to derive country-specific impulse responses. We find that (i) the transmission is very heterogeneous, both across channels and across countries, (ii) policy is transmitted through spreads, yields and the exchange rate, but less through banks and the stock market, and (iii) the strength of the transmission depends on structural characteristics of member countries, among them are current account balanced, debt to GDP levels, and the strength of banking systems.

description: Our paper picks up the current controversial debate about increasing (income) inequality due to recent monetary policy measures in major advanced economies. We use a VAR framework identified with sign restrictions to figure out how income inequality related measures react to monetary policy in six different advanced economies. These countries differ by their absolute income inequality as well as their redistribution. We choose the U.S., Canada and South Korea as countries with very little redistribution and Sweden, the Czech Republic and Hungary as countries with relatively high redistribution. While all economies experience an increase in Gini coeffcients of gross income in the presence of an expansionary monetary policy shock, only the U.S., Canada and South Korea also show a significant response in Gini coeffcient of net income. To figure out how the transmission of monetary policy to income inequality works we pick up the two major channels dominant in the literature: The employment channel and the income composition channel. The latter is analyzed by data from national accounts concerning two different kinds of income households receive: Labor related income and capital payments, both net. While we find that capital owners profit disproportionately in the less redistributing countries, we observe a more even reaction in both income types. This indicates that the harmful effects of expansionary monetary policy on the market income distribution are mitigated if the degree of redistribution is high.

description: The German apprenticeship system is widely known throughout the world. We analyze expenditures on vocational schools on county level using data from 213 West-German counties between 2001 and 2006. We use spatial econometrics to test for spatial correlation in counties’ expenditure on vocational schools but find no evidence that vocational schools serve as instrument in inter-county competition. While the theoretical literature suggests that spending should be higher for apprentices from small firms, we find a negative relationship between the share of apprentices from small firms and the expenditures per pupil. Expenditures are found to increase in the share of Christian Democrats in the county council.

Towards higher-spin AdS$_2$/CFT$_1$ holography

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We aim at formulating a higher-spin gravity theory around AdS$_2$ relevant for holography. As a first step, we investigate its kinematics by identifying the low-dimensional cousins of the standard higher-dimensional structures in higher-spin gravity such as the singleton, the higher-spin symmetry algebra, the higher-rank gauge and matter fields, etc. In particular, the higher-spin algebra is given here by $hs[λ]$ and parameterized by a real parameter $λ$. The singleton is defined to be a Verma module of the AdS$_2$ isometry subalgebra $so(2,1) \subset hs[λ]$ with conformal weight $Δ= \frac{1\pmλ}{2}\,$. On the one hand, the spectrum of local modes is determined by the Flato-Fronsdal theorem for the tensor product of two such singletons. It is given by an infinite tower of massive scalar fields in AdS$_2$ with ascending masses expressed in terms of $λ$. On the other hand, the higher-spin fields arising through the gauging of $hs[λ]$ algebra do not propagate local degrees of freedom. Our analysis of the spectrum suggests that AdS$_2$ higher-spin gravity is a theory of an infinite collection of massive scalars with fine-tuned masses, interacting with infinitely many topological gauge fields. Finally, we discuss the holographic CFT$_1$ duals of the kinematical structures identified in the bulk.

description: The paper examines the impact of development of agricultural sector on performance of the cooperative banks in Poland in years 1997-2004. The levels of the agricultural development and the economic/financial situation of the banks were assessed by using country-level and regional-level aggregate indicators based on the factor analysis. The research results show that the type of region (i.e. voivodeship and macro-region) has a statistically significant impact both on the aggregate indicator of agricultural development and the aggregate indicator of banks’ performance. As for the relationship between the agricultural development level and the economic/financial situation of banks, statistically significant correlations were found only for four out of sixteen voivodeships.

description: A simple model for QCD dynamics in which the DGLAP integro-differential equation may be solved analytically has been considered in our previous papers arXiv:1611.08787 [hep-ph] and arXiv:1906.07924 [hep-ph]. When such a model contains only one term in the splitting function of the dominant parton distribution, then Bessel function appears to be the solution to this simplified DGLAP equation. To our knowledge, this model with only one term in the splitting function for the first time has been proposed by Blumlein in hep-ph/9506403. In arXiv:1906.07924 [hep-ph] we have shown that a dual integro-differential equation obtained from the DGLAP equation by a complex map in the plane of the Mellin moment in this model may be considered as the BFKL equation. Then, in arXiv:1906.07924 we have applied a complex diffeomorphism to obtain a standard integral from Gradshteyn and Ryzhik tables starting from the contour integral for parton distribution functions that is usually taken by calculus of residues. This standard integral from these tables appears to be the Laplace transformation of Jacobian for this complex diffeomorphism. Here we write up all the formulae behind this trick in detail and find out certain important points for further development of this strategy. We verify that the inverse Laplace transformation of the Laplace image of the Bessel function may be represented in a form of Barnes contour integral.

Inhomogeneous motions of the scalar field driving changes in $α$ display spatial oscillations that decrease in amplitude with increasing time. The inhomogeneous evolution quickly approaches that found for exact Friedmann universes. We prove a theorem to show that oscillations of $α$ in time (or redshift) cannot occur in Friedmann universes in the BSBM theories considered here.

Using the data of the PISA test in math, the empirical results highlight that a higher level of trust in school environments promotes a student’s willingness to participate in math competitions. However, this positive effect of trust maintains mainly in mixed-sex competition, but not in single-sex competition. Furthermore, the effect of trust on mixed-sex competition is greater for girls than boys, while the effect is equally insignificant for boys and girls in single-sex competition. These findings suggest the importance of trust in the rules of the game when girls are matched with boys. On the other hand, when they compete with other girls, concerns about fairness do not play a significant role in their consideration. This is possibly because single-sex matches reduce unfairness caused by gender discrimination.

description: This paper studies the non-linear response of the term structure of interest
rates to monetary policy shocks. We show that uncertainty about monetary
policy changes the way the term structure responds to monetary policy. A
policy tightening leads to a significantly smaller increase in long-term bond
yields if policy uncertainty is high at the time of the shock. We also look at
the decomposition of bond yields into expectations about policy and the term
premium. The weaker response of yields is driven by the fall in term premia,
which fall even more if uncertainty about policy is high. These �ndings are
robust to the measurement of monetary policy uncertainty and the definition
of the monetary policy shock. We argue that short-term uncertainty about
monetary policy tends to make yields of longer maturities relatively more
attractive. As a consequence, investors demand lower term premia. This
intuition is supported by the fact that long-term monetary policy uncertainty
leads to opposite effects with term premia increasing even more after a policy
shock.

description: We consider a scalar field theory on AdS in both minimally and non-minimally coupled cases. We show that there exist constraints which arise in the quantization of the scalar field theory on AdS which cannot be reproduced through the usual AdS/CFT prescription. We argue that the usual energy, defined through the stress-energy tensor, is not the natural one to be considered in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We analyze a new definition of the energy which makes use of the Noether current corresponding to time displacements in global coordinates. We compute the new energy for Dirichlet, Neumann and mixed boundary conditions on the scalar field and for both the minimally and non-minimally coupled cases. Then, we perform the quantization of the scalar field theory on AdS showing that, for `regular' and `irregular' modes, the new energy is conserved, positive and finite. We show that the quantization gives rise, in a natural way, to a generalized AdS/CFT prescription which maps to the boundary all the information contained in the bulk. In particular, we show that the divergent local terms of the on-shell action contain information about the Legendre transformed generating functional, and that the new constraints for which the irregular modes propagate in the bulk are the same constraints for which such divergent local terms cancel out. In this situation, the addition of counterterms is not required. We also show that there exist particular cases for which the unitarity bound is reached, and the conformal dimension becomes independent of the effective mass. This phenomenon has no bulk counterpart.

description: Graciliphotis gen. nov.
 Type species. Graciliphotis ruthae sp. nov.
 Etymology. From the Latin gracilis = slender and Photis, its closest relative.
 Diagnosis. Head anteroventral margin strongly recessed, extending behind posterior margin of eye. Eyes situated entirely within the lateral lobe of the head. Antenna 1 peduncular article 1 longer than article 3; accessory flagellum vestigial or absent. Coxae relatively shallow (compared with Photis). Gnathopod 2 subchelate, not greatly enlarged, propodus with no excavations. Pereopod 5 basis extremely expanded (as long as broad). Uropods 1 – 2 peduncle without distoventral spine. Uropod 3 biramous, one ramus vestigial; outer ramus recurved.
 Included species. Graciliphotis ruthae sp. nov.
 Remarks. This genus is close to Photis Krøyer, 1842, but differs in its relatively short, coxae and therefore very gracile appearance, and unornamented male gnathopod 2.

description: We investigate by means of numerical simulations the possibilities of tomographic techniques applied to a Bose-Einstein condensate in order to reconstruct its ground state. Essentially, two scenarios are considered for which the density matrix elements can be retrieved from atom counting probabilities. The methods presented here allow to distinguish among various possible quantum states.

description: Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art accuracy performance in many tasks. However, recent works have pointed out that the outputs provided by these models are not well-calibrated, seriously limiting their use in critical decision scenarios. In this work, we propose to use a decoupled Bayesian stage, implemented with a Bayesian Neural Network (BNN), to map the uncalibrated probabilities provided by a DNN to calibrated ones, consistently improving calibration. Our results evidence that incorporating uncertainty provides more reliable probabilistic models, a critical condition for achieving good calibration. We report a generous collection of experimental results using high-accuracy DNNs in standardized image classification benchmarks, showing the good performance, flexibility and robust behavior of our approach with respect to several state-of-the-art calibration methods. Code for reproducibility is provided.
