title: Nonlinear Dynamics In Musical Interactions
Creators: name: Mudd, Tom
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: This thesis examines nonlinear dynamical processes in musical tools, identifying certain roles that they play in creative interactions with existing tools, and investigates the roles they might play in digital tools. Nonlinear dynamical processes are fundamental in the everyday physical world. They lie at the core of many acoustic instruments, playing a particularly significant role in bowed and blown instruments. Two major studies are presented that approach these issues from different perspectives. Firstly a set of comparative studies explore the ways in which musicians engage with systems that do and do not incorporate nonlinear dynamical processes. Secondly, interviews with a range of musicians engaged in contemporary musical practices — particularly free improvisation — are used to investigate the role of nonlinear dynamical processes in instrumental interactions in relation to unpredictability and creative exploration. Evidence is presented demonstrating that nonlinear dynamical processes can be drawn on as resources for exploration over long time periods. An approach to creative interaction that explicitly draws on the properties of nonlinear dynamical processes is uncovered and connected to material-oriented notions of creative processes. Nonlinear dynamics are shown to facilitate a productive ‘‘sweet spot’’ between unpredictability and complexity on the one hand, and detailed, sensitive, deterministic control, coupled with the potential to repeat and develop particular actions on the other. The importance of timing in interactions with nonlinear dynamical processes is highlighted as being significant in creating explorable interactions, particularly close to critical thresholds. A distinction is raised between instantaneous unpredictabilities that emerge from the interaction with the tool (interactional ), and unpredictabilities that result from the unexpected implications of the conjunction of otherwise anticipated elements (combinatorial). While the usefulness of the latter in creative interactions is frequently acknowledged in HCI research, the former is often excluded, or seen as a hinderance or obstruction. Engagements with nonlinear dynamical processes in existing musical instruments and practices provide clear evidence of the utility of both nonlinear dynamics, and interactional surprises more generally, suggesting that they can be of use in other domains where creative exploration is a concern.
Implications of Constraints on Mass Parameters in the Higgs Sector of the Nonlinear Supersymmetric SU(5) Model

description: The Higgs sector of the minimal nonlinear supersymmetric SU(5) model contains three mass parameters. Although these mass parameters are essentially free at the electroweak scale, they might have particular values if they evolve from a particular constraints at the GUT scale through the RG equations. By assuming a number of simple constraints on these mass parameters at the GUT scale, we obtain their values at the electroweak scale through the RG equations in order to investigate the phenomenological implications. Some of them are found to be consistent with the present experimental data.

description: Tripartite motif 44 (TRIM44) is one of the TRIM family proteins that are involvedin ubiquitination and degradation of target proteins by modulating E3 ubiquitinligases. TRIM44 overexpression has been observed in various cancers. However,its association with testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) is unknown. We aimed toinvestigate the clinical significance of TRIM44 and its function in TGCT. Highexpression of TRIM44 was significantly associated with a feto-protein levels, clinicalstage, nonseminomatous germ cell tumor (NSGCT), and cancer-specific survival(P = 0.0009, P = 0.0035, P = 0.0004, and P = 0.0140, respectively). Multivariateanalysis showed that positive TRIM44 IR was an independent predictor of cancerspecificmortality (P = 0.046). Gain-of-function study revealed that overexpressionof TRIM44 promoted cell proliferation and migration of NTERA2 and NEC8 cells.Knockdown of TRIM44 using siRNA promoted apoptosis and repressed cell proliferationand migration in these cells. Microarray analysis of NTERA2 cells revealedthat tumor suppressor genes such as CADM1, CDK19, and PRKACB were upregulatedin TRIM44-knockdown cells compared to control cells. In contrast, oncogenicgenes including C3AR1, ST3GAL5, and NT5E were downregulated in those cells.These results suggest that high expression of TRIM44 is associated with poorprognosis and that TRIM44 plays significant role in cell proliferation, migration,and anti-apoptosis in TGCT.

description: Besides the traditional circuit-based model of quantum computation, several quantum algorithms based on a continuous-time Hamiltonian evolution have recently been introduced, including for instance continuous-time quantum walk algorithms as well as adiabatic quantum algorithms. Unfortunately, very little is known today on the behavior of these Hamiltonian algorithms in the presence of noise. Here, we perform a fully analytical study of the resistance to noise of these algorithms using perturbation theory combined with a theoretical noise model based on random matrices drawn from the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble, whose elements vary in time and form a stationary random process.

How SKA may impact on this field is sketched, including the routine tracking of relativistic ejections to large distances from the binaries, detecting and monitoring the radio counterparts to 'quiescent' black holes, and detecting the radio counterparts of the brightest X-ray binaries throughout the Local Group of galaxies.

Regulation of Sxy in Haemophilus influenzae and other Pasteurellaceae
Creators: name: Volar, Milica
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Natural competence is ability of bacteria to take up exogenous DNA from their surroundings. Haemophilus influenzae, a member of the Pasteurellaceae family, tightly regulates competence development, inducing uptake only when cells are starved both for sugars and nucleotides. Two proteins are involved in activation of competence gene transcription: Sxy and CRP. While CRP is a global regulator of genes involved in sugar metabolism, Sxy regulates a small regulon composed primarily of competence genes. Competence levels are intimately connected with the abundance of Sxy protein in the cell, thus revealing the regulation of the sxy gene is an imperative for understanding how and why H. influenzae becomes naturally competent. Previous studies found that strains carrying point mutations predicted to weaken sxy RNA secondary structure overproduce Sxy and are hypercompetent, while strains with mutations predicted to strengthen this structure, do not produce Sxy and are noncompetent. This suggested that the secondary structure of sxy mRNA limits the gene's expression in the wild type in competence non-inducing conditions. I used bioinformatics and biochemical techniques to investigate whether sxy is regulated via its RNA secondary structure. Nuclease mapping confirmed that sxy RNA folds into a stable secondary structure and that the point mutations in hyper- and non-competent sxy mutants weaken or strengthen this structure, respectively. I also examined whether the regulation of sxy is conserved in Pasteurellaceae by comparing the predicted secondary structures of RNA in sxy homologues. The results suggested that the RNA secondary structure is only important in regulation of sxy in H. influenzae strains and is not conserved in other Pasteurellaceae. However, all of the examined species had long intergenic regions upstream of sxy homologues suggesting that additional regulatory element(s) is present. Based on the results in the thesis, I propose two models of sxy regulation: in one, sxy mRNA secondary structure inhibits translation initiation and in the other this structure allows binding of lignad(s) and acts as a riboswitch.

A comparison of the 2007-08 crisis with that of 1929 showed its extreme gravity, but it also may have implied that the old harmful mistakes would not be repeated. After four years, the crisis has not been solved and it even threatens to worsen. Neo-conservative Republicans claim that this is proof of the failure of Keynesian policies. Yet, there is something structurally distorted in the institutions and policies of American industrial relations. The fall of the ‘social contract’ is the basic element of the crisis of the American social and economic model. In comparison with the crisis of the Thirties and its aftermath, what initially was supposed to possibly evolve toward a new New Deal of the Twenty-first century has evolved just in its opposite.

description: The recently proposed effective equation of motion for the $4D$- Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity admits a static black hole solution that has, like the Rissner-Nordström charged black hole, two horizons instead of one for the Schwarzschild black hole. This means that the central singularity is timelike instead of spacelike. It should though be noted that in $D\geq5$, the solution always admits only one horizon like the Schwarzshild solution. In the equation defining the horizon, the rescaled Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant appears as a new 'gravitational charge' with a repulsive effect to cause in addition to event horizon a Cauchy horizon. Thus it radically alters the causal structure of the black hole.

title: Exploring the Use of Fictional Film as a Trigger to Enquiry Based Learning
Creators: name: Goodall, Nicola Carole
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: This research explored the use of fictional film as a trigger to Enquiry Based Learning (EBL) within a pre-registration adult nursing programme. This qualitative research used an open and interpretive approach. An in depth consideration of the experiential learning of the nursing students using creative pedagogy within EBL alongside practice was the primary focus. This research sought to contribute to knowledge related to the application of narrative pedagogy and creative media within nurse education, considering what this new approach could contribute to the learning experience of nursing students to increase their perception of the value of EBL. A critical review of the literature, encompassing databases related to healthcare, education and media studies, concentrated on topics including reflective practice, narrative pedagogy, narrative learning, teaching as enchantment and Cinemeducation. This important stage also informed the development of the research approach, enabling a clearer theoretical and practical rationale and design for the study. Participants included two groups of adult nursing third year undergraduate students, completing their final practice placements and attending EBL alongside this. Data were collected using semi-structured, open-ended individual interviews, guided group discussions and EBL facilitator observation, further evidenced and documented through the compilation of research diaries. Ethical approval was granted by the ethics committees within both Universities involved. All students consented to participate in the guided group discussions, and twelve students agreed to be interviewed. As a nurse educator within the programme, and the group facilitator for both groups, I was able to maintain participant observation through every EBL session over a two-year period. The data were transcribed and thematically analysed, synchronously with the data collection phase. Themes included memorability, relevance, authenticity, emotional engagement and exploration of the safe boundaries related to the use of fictional film within professional education. Findings indicated that the incorporation of carefully selected fictional film into EBL is both popular and effective, facilitating debate regarding essential learning outcomes and therefore impacting positively on the student learning experience. As such this research supports the assertion that the use of fictional film should be included within UK adult nurse education.

description: Die wachsende fluktuierende Einspeisung von erneuerbaren Energien, führt zu Herausforderungen im Energiesystem. Dezentrale Speicher können die Netze stabilisieren und den Eigenverbrauch von PV-Anlagen erhöhen. Spezielle Tarifmodelle können finanzielle Anreize für Speichersysteme liefern und das Energienetz flexibler betreiben. In dieser Arbeit sollen Tarifmodelle und Förderungen untersucht werden, um Investitionen wirtschaftlicher tätigen zu können. Durch Optimierungsmodelle in Matlab werden verschiedenste Tarifmodelle und Szenarien untersucht und bezüglich der Wirtschaftlichkeit ausgewertet. Die Barwerte und Ergebnisse der Fallstudien zeigen, dass bei Einführung von TOU-, oder RTP-Tarifmodellen, in Kombination mit optimierten PV- und Speichersystemen Wirtschaftlichkeit gegeben ist. Somit können Speichersysteme in Haushalte bereits, wirtschaftliche Vorteile bringen und in Zukunft durch Verbesserungen der Lebensdauer und Vergünstigungen der Systeme, bei speziellen Tarifmodellen wirtschaftlich konkurrenzfähig werden.
description: We are facing increasing challenges in the energy system, which are in consequence of rising fluctuating energy feed of renewables. Decentralized storages are provided to stabilize energy networks and increasing selfconsumption of photovoltaic energy systems. Special tariff plans are able to create financial incentives for storage systems and offer more flexible energy networks. Examinations of tariff models and subsidies take place to provide economically meaningful investments. The method for analyses and evaluations of different tariffs and scenarios is realised with optimization models using Matlab calculations. The net price value (NPV) and results of various case studies are leading to economical improvements due to further implementations of TOU- and RTP-tariffs, combining PV and storage systems. Thus, storage systems in households, are providing ecological benefits, while improvements of lifespan and cost reductions of the systems, with special tariff plans can provide economic competitiveness in the future.

description: We study new physics effects on B decay processes including a final $τ$ particle, namely $B \to D τν$ and $B \to τν$. An important feature of these processes is that a charged Higgs boson can contribute to the decay amplitude at the tree level in models such as Two Higgs Doublet Model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We derive a resummed effective Lagrangian for charged-Higgs mediated interactions in the MSSM with the Minimal Flavor Violation. Including supersymmetric (SUSY) loop corrections for down-type-quark and charged-lepton Yukawa couplings, we calculate the branching ratios of the $B \to D τν$ and $B \to τν$ processes. We find that SUSY correction due to gluino-sbottom diagrams can change the Higgs exchange contribution by $\pm50$%, whereas stau-neutralino diagrams can make corrections up to 20%. We also discuss relationship between SUSY corrections in the tauonic decays and flavor changing neutral current processes such as $B_s \to μ^+μ^-$ and $b \to s γ$.

description: We present, for the first time, the quantization process for the Einstein-aether scalar field cosmology. We consider a cosmological theory proposed as a Lorentz violating inflationary model, where the aether and scalar fields interact through the assumption that the aether action constants are ultra-local functions of the scalar field. For this specific theory there is a valid minisuperspace description which we use to quantize. For a particular relation between the two free functions entering the reduced Lagrangian the solution to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation as also the generic classical solution are presented for any given arbitrary potential function.

description: Im Bodenfeuchte Bestimmungsmodell der TU Wien ist die geschätzte Standardabweichung (ESD) ein Maß für die verschiedenen Fehlerquellen des Radarechos. Unter anderem, werden im Modell das Rauschen der Rückstreuung und Specklemuster berücksichtigt. Weiters werden kleine Einflussgrößen wie die Azimuth Winkelabhängigkeit der Differenz zwischen dem Radarstrahl der vorderen und hinteren Antenne des ASCAT Scatterometers berücksichtigt. Dieses Scatterometer ist Teil der Instrumentenausstattung des meteorologischen Satelliten METOP-A. Für eine stabile Fehlerabschätzung werden Messdaten über lange Perioden, bis zu mehreren Jahren, benötigt. Daher wird in der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit der Zusammenhang und Unterschied der üblicherweise verwendeten geschätzten Standardabweichung der Rückstreuung (ESD) mit der radiometrischen Auflösung Kp aus dem Metop ASCAT 1b Produkt erarbeitet. Für einen Vergleich der ESD und Kp wird ein neuer ESD Wert auf der Grundlage der radiometrische Auflösung Kp definiert ist, bezeichnet als ESDKp. Eine genaue Analyse der beiden ESD Werte zeigt eine nichtlineare Beziehung zwischen ESD und ESDKp, mit einer viel geringeren Auswirkung des azimuthalen Fehlers auf den ESDKp. Insbesondere wird für trockene Regionen mit großem azimuthalem Fehler ein großer Unterschied festgestellt, während für Regenwälder die Werte der beiden ESD Werte sind fast gleich. Im Unterschied zum ESD, erreicht der ESDKp Wert ein konstantes Niveau innerhalb weniger Wochen.
description: In the TU Wien soil moisture retrieval model the estimated standard deviation (ESD) is a measure for the different error types of the backscatter. This parameter is considered as a noise estimate, incorporating speckle and residual azimuthal effects, based on differences between fore- and after beam of the Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) on board the meteorological operational satellite METOP-A. However, for a robust estimate of the estimated standard deviation ESD, time series backscatter data of long period of time is necessary. This can be even up to several years. Thus in this work, the relationship of the current estimation of the standard deviation of the backscatter (ESD) with the standard deviation information (Kp) included in the Metop ASCAT Level 1b backscatter product is analyzed. For a comparison of ESD and Kp a new type of ESD is defined based on the radiometric resolution Kp, denoted as ESDKp. The elaborate analysis of the two ESD types reveals a nonlinear relation between the ESD and ESDKp, with much less impact of the azimuthal noise on the ESDKp. In particular, for arid regions with large azimuthal noise a substantial difference is observed, whereas for rain forests the values of the two ESD quantities are almost equal. As a contrast to the ESD, the value the ESDKp reaches steady value within a period of few weeks.

description: Fifty years after Ed Salpeter's seminal paper, tremendous progress both on the observational and theoretical sides allow a fairly accurate determination of the Galactic IMF not only down to the hydrogen-burning limit but into the brown dwarf domain. The present review includes the most recent observations of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs to determine this IMF and the related Galactic mass budget. The IMF definitely exhibits a similar behaviour in various environments, disk, young and globular clusters, spheroid. Small scale dissipation of large scale compressible MHD turbulence seems to be the underlying triggering mechanism for star formation. Modern simulations of compressible MHD turbulence yield an IMF consistent with the one derived from observations.

description: Moderne Gesundheismonitoringsysteme erfordern die automatisierte Weitergabe von persönlichen Daten. Linked Stream Data (LSD) unterstützt diesen Vorgang, indem die Daten in ein einheitliches Format konvertiert werden. Surveillance Systeme sammeln und analysieren diese Daten, um die Verbreitung von Krankheiten zu dokumentieren und vorherzusagen. Eine Gefahr der Verarbeitungskette ist, dass einzelne Personen identifiziert werden können, sogar wenn die verarbeiteten Daten anonymisiert wurden. Um dieses Problem zu lösen, schlagen wir einen neuen Anonymisierungsalgorithmus vor, der LSD in zwei Stufen anonymisiert. Zuerst werden personenbezogene Daten auf Basis der verfügbaren Datenmenge generalisiert oder unterdrückt. Danach analysiert der Algorithmus den zeitlichen Verlauf der Daten und verhindert so Inferenzattacken zwischen zeitlich verschiedenen Daten. Das minimiert die Menge der Daten, die durch den Anonymisierungsprozess verloren geht. Ein Ergebnis unserer Arbeit ist auch, dass der inkrementelle Anonymisierungsansatz einen geringeren Informationsverlust als der derzeitige Stand der Technik aufweist.
description: Sharing health care data is a vital requirement in any modern health care system. Linked Stream Data (LSD) facilitates sharing by representing the data in an uniform way. Surveillance systems collect and analyze large amount of data to detect the spread of a disease. As a result of collecting massive data, such systems potentially unmask certain individuals, even in cases where the consumed data itself is properly anonymized. We address this problem by proposing a novel anonymization algorithm that ensures adaptive anonymity of data streams in two steps. First, it suppresses or generalizes individual-related data depending on the amount of available data. Then, our algorithm analyzes the long-term behavior of anonymized data and precludes inference attacks between multiple data snapshots. This minimizes the amount of lost information when data is anonymized. A result of the algorithm is that the incremental anonymization approach produces less information loss than proposed approaches in the literature.

A theoretical model is developed for the ratio primary-surplus/GDP that a Country has to attain over a given number of years, to lower its public debt from the present value to one a-priori fixed. Such a ratio depends on the average interest rate paid on the outstanding stock of debt as well as inflation and real growth rates. The ratio primary-surplus/GDP is then determined for Germany, Greece and Italy, supposing that 20 years are necessary for lowering the debt to 60% of GDP, as indicated in the Budget Pact approved by 25 EU member States. Results are reported in graphs and show how the German debt can be easily diminished, whilst debts in Greece and Italy can be reduced with a greater difficulty. JEL: E63, H62, C65

description: Phytochemical studies of methylene chloride soluble fraction from the 70% aqueous-alcoholic extract of Polyalthia longifolia (leaves) resulted in the isolation of two known clerodane diterpenes, namely: 16α-hydroxycleroda-3,13(14)-dien-16,15-olide (1) and (4→2)-abeo-16-hydroxy-cleroda-2,13(14)-dien-15,16-olide-3-al (2). The isolated compounds were evaluated for their anti-histaminic and anti-Helicobacter pylori activities. Compound 1 was more potent than 2 with IC50 29.7 μg/mL and 189.2 μg/mL in the anti-histaminic assay and MIC equals to 31.25 μg/mL and 125 μg/mL in the anti-H. pylori assay, as compared with diclofenac (IC50 = 17.9 μg/mL) and clarithromycin (MIC = 1.95 μg/mL), respectively. The differences in their structures, as well as their activity results, indicated important characteristic features necessary for activity. It was suggested that the decalin moiety in 1 was important for both activities. On the other hand, the (4→2)-abeo migration in 2 reduced both activities. The potent activities of 1 suggest its potential application as an anti-histaminic and antimicrobial agent.
On the representation of contextual probabilistic dynamics in the complex Hilbert space: linear and nonlinear evolutions, Schroedinger dynamics

Year: 2004

description: We constructed the representation of contextual probabilistic dynamics in the complex Hilbert space. Thus dynamics of the wave function can be considered as Hilbert space projections of realistic dynamics in a ``prespace''. The basic condition for representing of the prespace-dynamics is the law of statistical conservation of energy -- conservation of probabilities. Construction of the dynamical representation is an important step in the development of contextual statistical viewpoint to quantum processes. But the contextual statistical model is essentially more general than the quantum one. Therefore in general the Hilbert space projection of the ``prespace'' dynamics can be nonlinear and even irreversible (but it is always unitary). There were found conditions of linearity and reversibility of the Hilbert space dynamical projection. We also found conditions for the conventional Schroedinger dynamics (including time-dependent Hamiltonians). We remark that in general even the Schroedinger dynamics is based just on the statistical conservation of energy; for individual systems the law of conservation of energy can be violated (at least in our theoretical model).

The non-Hermiticity induced breakdown of bulk-boundary correspondence (BBC) and the periodic driving on systems generally obscure the description of non-Hermitian SOTI. To prompt the applications of SOTIs, we explore the role of periodic driving in controllably creating exotic non-Hermitian SOTIs both for 2D and 3D systems. A scheme to retrieve the BBC and a complete description to SOTIs via the bulk topology of such nonequilibrium systems are proposed. It is found that rich exotic non-Hermitian SOTIs with a widely tunable number of 2D corner states and 3D hinge states and a coexistence of the first- and second-order topological insulators are induced by the periodic driving. Enriching the family of topological phases, our result may inspire the exploration to apply SOTIs via tuning the number of corner/hinge states by the periodic driving.

description: While financial crises during the 1990s have started a lively debate on IMF policies toward member countries, reform of the Fund's organizational structure and operations have been largely ignored. Improved organization and operations would increase IMF efficiency and membership participation, which would in turn increase IMF effectiveness in enhancing global economic conditions. In this paper, a number of such issues--quotas, voting structure and decision making; executive board and ministerial committees; management structure and staff; political dimensions, transparency and credibility--are assessed.

description: Fuzzing is a widely used technique for detecting software bugs and vulnerabilities. Most popular fuzzers generate new inputs using an evolutionary search to maximize code coverage. Essentially, these fuzzers start with a set of seed inputs, mutate them to generate new inputs, and identify the promising inputs using an evolutionary fitness function for further mutation. Despite their success, evolutionary fuzzers tend to get stuck in long sequences of unproductive mutations. In recent years, machine learning (ML) based mutation strategies have reported promising results. However, the existing ML-based fuzzers are limited by the lack of quality and diversity of the training data. As the input space of the target programs is high dimensional and sparse, it is prohibitively expensive to collect many diverse samples demonstrating successful and unsuccessful mutations to train the model. In this paper, we address these issues by using a Multi-Task Neural Network that can learn a compact embedding of the input space based on diverse training samples for multiple related tasks (i.e., predicting for different types of coverage). The compact embedding can guide the mutation process by focusing most of the mutations on the parts of the embedding where the gradient is high. \tool uncovers $11$ previously unseen bugs and achieves an average of $2\times$ more edge coverage compared with 5 state-of-the-art fuzzer on 10 real-world programs.

description: In Italy, labour market differs between northern and central areas, where the enterprises face difficulties in finding skilled workers, and southern Italy (Mezzogiorno), where unemployment is widespread. The policies, then, have to be different, and focused where the problem is deeper. Other critical aspects: the first entry of young people in job is difficult; the share of women in labour market persists low; the search of employment lasts too long; quality of jobs demanded differs from quality of jobs offered (mismatch). Confronted with these aspects, employment policies must be decentralized and monitored, as the European Commission requires. Flexibility is necessary, but it is not enough.

description: Music annotation has always been one of the critical topics in the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR). Traditional models use supervised learning for music annotation tasks. However, as supervised machine learning approaches increase in complexity, the increasing need for more annotated training data can often not be matched with available data. In this paper, a new self-supervised music acoustic representation learning approach named MusiCoder is proposed. Inspired by the success of BERT, MusiCoder builds upon the architecture of self-attention bidirectional transformers. Two pre-training objectives, including Contiguous Frames Masking (CFM) and Contiguous Channels Masking (CCM), are designed to adapt BERT-like masked reconstruction pre-training to continuous acoustic frame domain. The performance of MusiCoder is evaluated in two downstream music annotation tasks. The results show that MusiCoder outperforms the state-of-the-art models in both music genre classification and auto-tagging tasks. The effectiveness of MusiCoder indicates a great potential of a new self-supervised learning approach to understand music: first apply masked reconstruction tasks to pre-train a transformer-based model with massive unlabeled music acoustic data, and then finetune the model on specific downstream tasks with labeled data.
Separatismo (Separatism)

description: Most of the world's trouble spots arise from separatism, passionate demand for autonomy or independence by ethnic minorities--Kosovo, ETA, Kashmir, Tamil Tigers, East Timor and many others. This article tries to explain this phenomenon. It needs to be distinguished from the dissolution of empires and from irredentism and civil wars. Its motives are often religious, especially Moslem, but Kurdistan and ETA represent ethnic minorities. Western public opinion tends to support the separatist cause. The best hope of avoiding conflict rests on the grant of a measure of political autonomy and rights to religious freedom and use of the national language. JEL Codes: D72, D74 Keywords: War

description: This paper examines the scale of the demographic problem facing OECD economies and the labour market trends among older workers, considering the macroeconomic implications of welfare provision for ageing on living standards and fiscal balances. The nature and the scale of incentives for early retirement are then discussed, concluding that welfare systems in OECD countries will come under increasing pressure as the share of public pension payments on total welfare outlays could rise dramatically over the coming decades. The paper illustrates some of the recent OECD recommendations for responding to the challenges posed by ageing societies in the context of diverse social welfare systems and concludes that policies are urgently needed in a number of countries to pursue two fundamental objectives: increasing the average number of years individuals spend active in the labour force and raising the sources of provision for an adequate retirement income.

Double-peak spectral energy density of GRBs and the true identity of GRB 031203

description: A double-peak spectral-energy-density of gamma-rays, similar to that observed in blazars, is expected in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) produced in supernova (SN) explosions. The second peak, which is formed by inverse Compton scattering of ambient SN light by cosmic ray electrons accelerated by the jets from the SN explosion, has a much higher peak-energy than the first ordinary peak. However, in X-ray flashes (XRFs), which in the cannonball (CB) model are normal GRBs viewed farther off axis, the first peak-energy is shifted to the soft X-ray region while the second peak-energy moves to the MeV range. In far-off-axis GRBs, such as GRBs 980425 and 031203, the second peak may have been confused with the normal GRB peak. In most GRBs, which have been observed so far, the gamma-ray detectors ran out of statistics far below the second peak. However, in bright GRBs, the two peaks may be resolved by simultaneous measurements with SWIFT and GLAST.
