Low-temperature phase transitions in terbium(x)dysprosium(1-x) competing anisotropy alloys
Creators: name: Foster, James Julius
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Tb$\sb{\rm x}$Dy$\sb{1-\rm x}$ is probably the simplest example of a magnetic system with competing anisotropy. Tb and Dy are both easy-plane ferromagnets at low temperature, with well characterized anisotropy energies, such that Tb moments prefer to lie along the $\rm\vec b$ axis in the hcp structure, while Dy moments prefer the $\rm\vec a$ axis. It has been predicted, using a two-subnetwork "average crystal" model, that the low-temperature phase of the alloys with x between 0.86 and 0.76 exhibits a non-symmetry magnetization direction, a non-collinear spin structure, and twelfth-order anisotropy. However, the approximation is suspect when used to describe magnetic structure in alloys near their phase boundaries, such as those between the ferromagnetic and the non-collinear phase. Using a more realistic probability distribution for site occupation, the fluctuations of the spin orientation and the spin-spin correlation function have been calculated as a function of composition in the non-collinear phase. It was found that the mean square fluctuation in spin orientation is proportional to $\sqrt{\rm x\sb{b}-x}$ where x$\sb{\rm b}$ is the critical concentration which separates the $\rm\vec b$ axis ferromagnet from the non-collinear magnet. The average orientation as calculated from the average crystal model also varies as $\sqrt{\rm x\sb{b}-x}$. Therefore, the simple two-subnetwork model is not valid, at least near the phase boundaries. Upon including the fluctuations in the calculation of the phase boundaries, it has been found that the fluctuations from the average site occupation always increase the range of stability of the non-collinear phase. These characteristics, (1) a non-collinear phase space and (2) a widening of this phase space with the inclusion of fluctuations, should be valid for other similar alloy systems, and therefore the model should be useful in predicting the low-temperature phase characteristics of a variety of binary alloys, and in modifying previous calculations based only on the average crystal model.

description: Ni57.5Mn17.5Ga25 shape memory alloy exhibits a complex transformation behavior, appearing after aging. Aging in the austenitic state resulted in an ordinary decrease of the martensitic transformation temperature. Contrary to this, aging in the martensitic state brought about unusual features of the martensitic transformation observed so far only in Ni-Ti alloys.

Nigeria's inter-African relations: A study of continuity and change in Nigeria's African policy, 1960-1983
Creators: name: Kosoko, David
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this study is to identify the elements of change and continuity in Nigeria's Africa policy from 1960-1983, in order to examine the contention that 1975 marks the turning point of Nigeria's foreign policy. This study contends that though the style may have changed, the substance of Nigeria's foreign policy remains the same. The foreign policy of the Mohammed/Obasanjo administration (1975-1979) was simply an extension of Nigeria's earlier foreign policy posture and does not constitute a "new foreign policy" or a revolution. The theoretical framework for this study was based on the decision making approach in the study of international politics, using the operational environment model adapted from Michael Brecher. The operational environment comprises of the internal and external variable categories. The salient features of Nigeria's African policy intent and content under successive regimes during the period 1960-1983 were examined by considering major foreign policy issues such as (1) The Angolan Crisis, (2) The Southern Africa Problem, (3) The Nationalization of British Petroleum Assets, (4) The Economic Community of West African States, (5) The Crisis in Chad, and discerning principles that have shaped and conditioned Nigeria's Africa policy since 1960. From various experiences of the twenty-three years covered in this study, it is concluded that, as of 1983, the style and approach of the government in power greatly affected the policy process and its outcome. The military, throughout their thirteen years in government, did nothing to carry out their revolution beyond the familiar rhetoric of African politics and diplomacy. No national ideology emerged from their rule, with the result that they could hardly effect a change in the substance and pattern of Nigeria's foreign policy. Consequently, the military, particularly the Mohammed/Obasanjo regimes merely transformed the style of Nigeria's foreign policy but not the character of the Nigerian state.

description: Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication is considered as a key enabler of ultra-high data rates in the future cellular and wireless networks. The need for directional communication between base stations (BSs) and users in mmWave systems, that is achieved through beamforming, increases the complexity of the channel estimation. Moreover, in order to provide better coverage, dense deployment of BSs is required which causes frequent handovers and increased association overhead. In this paper, we present an approach that jointly addresses the beamforming and handover problems. Our solution entails an efficient beamforming method with a minimum number of pilots and a learning-based handover method supporting mobile scenarios. We use reinforcement learning algorithm to learn the optimal choices of the backup BSs in different locations of a mobile user. We show that our method provides high rate and reliability in all locations of the user's trajectory with a minimal number of handovers. Simulation results in an outdoor environment based on geometric mmWave channel modeling and real building map data show the superior performance of our proposed solution in achievable instantaneous rate and trajectory rate.

description: This dissertation empirically tested a bipartisan politics theory for the enactment of social legislation derived from the work of James Q. Wilson. It answered questions relating to the study of the legislative process pertaining to the enactment of social regulations; legislative initiative and constituent support; and external environmental factors that impact and influence the social policy decisions of legislators. It specifically addressed the factors that influenced the passage of enabling legislation for recently established social regulatory agencies and traced these factors over time to determine the degree and nature of support. Recorded roll call votes for four programs or agencies were selected for inclusion in the analysis. They were Super Fund, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the consumer protection function of the FTC, and the Office of Health Maintenance Organizations (OHMO) in the Health Care Finance Administration (HCFA) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This research empirically analyzed the degree of acceptance by the Congress of these social regulatory agencies (and by inference, the public) over time and examined the differences in agency ability to maintain support by the coalitions that lobbied for its formation. The post-1964 era was selected for study since most U.S. federal social regulation occurred starting with the Johnson Administration. The study employed analytical techniques from policy analysis, media analysis, and the study of legislative behavior. Data sources were the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research Recorded Roll Vote Data Tapes, The Survey Research Center General Social Survey Data Tapes, and the Television News Index and Abstracts. The principal findings were: (1) There was no evidence in the recorded roll call votes on the authorizing legislation for any of the four agencies that indicated the presence of broad, bipartisan coalitions in the Congress; (2) Personal ideology, party, and issue salience as measured by placement in prime time network news telecasts had the greatest influence on votes for support of an agency over time; (3) Party was a better indicator of a congressman's policy voting decision than personal ideology, although ideology was more frequently significant.

A "BPS expansion" for B and D mesons

description: We analyze consequences of the approximation μ_π^2 -μ_G^2 << μ_π^2 (a `BPS' limit) for B and D mesons. It is shown that neglecting perturbative effects many power corrections would vanish to all orders in 1/m_Q, in particular those violating heavy flavor symmetry. Among them are corrections to B->D formfactors. A number of relations receive corrections only to the second order expanding around the BPS limit to any order in 1/m_Q, including both f_+ and f_- at zero recoil. This allows an accurate evaluation of {\cal F}_+ for B->D lν. Its perturbative renormalization is computed analytically in the required Wilsonian scheme, yielding the dominant 3% enhancement.

description: The Lorentzian Kac-Moody algebra E11, obtained by doubly overextending the compact E8, is decomposed into representations of its canonical hyperbolic E10 subalgebra. Whereas the appearing representations at levels 0 and 1 are known on general grounds, higher level representations can currently only be obtained by recursive methods. We present the results of such an analysis up to height 120 in E11 which comprises representations on the first five levels. The algorithms used are a combination of Weyl orbit methods and standard methods based on the Peterson and Freudenthal formulae. In the appendices we give all multiplicities of E10 occuring up to height 340 and for E11 up to height 240.

Further aspects of the tests of the equality of correlation matrices
Creators: name: Modarres-Hakimi, Mohammad Reza
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: A common problem in social, educational, behavioral and biological research is to investigate relationships between variables across several groups. Factor analysis is one such procedure with a long history of use. A more modern graphical procedure is the biplot of Gabriel (1971). Biplots result in a graphical display of correlation structure. We present results that extend an existing test of equality of correlation matrices. A new test statistic is proposed and is shown to be asymptotically distributed as a linear combination of independent $\chi\sp2$ random variables. This new formulation allows us to find the power of the existing test and our extensions by deriving the distribution under the alternative as that of a linear combination of independent non-central $\chi\sp2$ random variables. We also investigate the null and the alternative distributions of two related statistics. The first test statistic is defined as a quadratic form in deviations from a control group with the remaining K-1 groups to be compared. The second test is designed for comparing adjacent groups. In order to find a simple and accurate approximation for our statistics, we discuss several methods of approximating the distribution function of a definite quadratic form in normal variates. In particular, we investigate the two moment, the three moment, and the normal approximations. We also consider an approximation technique due to Imhof (1961). A Monte Carlo study is presented to assess the robustness of our procedure and the likelihood ratio test. We show that aside from the computational difficulties associated with the likelihood ratio test, this test is very sensitive to the assumption of multivariate normality. We also show that our test statistic performs well under non-normal distributions. To illustrate the techniques and assess the applicability of our procedure, we present several examples.

description: The Gopakumar-Vafa type invariants on Calabi-Yau 4-folds (which are non-trivial only for genus zero and one) are defined by Klemm-Pandharipande from Gromov-Witten theory, and their integrality is conjectured. In a previous work of Cao-Maulik-Toda, $\mathrm{DT}_4$ invariants with primary insertions on moduli spaces of one dimensional stable sheaves are used to give a sheaf theoretical interpretation of the genus zero GV type invariants. In this paper, we propose a sheaf theoretical interpretation of the genus one GV type invariants using descendent insertions on the above moduli spaces. The conjectural formula in particular implies nontrivial constraints on genus zero GV type (equivalently GW) invariants of CY 4-folds which can be proved by the WDVV equation.

description: Abstract: Background: Health warning labels (HWLs) using images and text to depict the negative health consequences of tobacco consumption are effective and acceptable for changing smoking-related outcomes. There is currently limited evidence concerning their potential use for reducing consumption of alcoholic drinks and energy-dense foods. The aim of this research was to describe the potential effectiveness and acceptability of image-and-text (also known as pictorial or graphic) HWLs applied to: i. alcoholic drinks and ii. energy-dense snack foods. Methods: Two online studies were conducted using between-subjects designs with general population samples. Participants rated one of 21 image-and-text HWLs on alcoholic drinks (n = 5528), or one of 18 image-and-text HWLs on energy-dense snacks (n = 4618). HWLs comprised a graphic image with explanatory text, depicting, respectively, seven diseases linked to excess alcohol consumption, and six diseases linked to excess energy intake. Diseases included heart disease and various cancers. Outcomes were negative emotional arousal, desire to consume the labelled product, and acceptability of the label. Free-text comments relating to HWLs were content analysed. Results: For both alcoholic drinks and energy-dense snacks, HWLs depicting bowel cancer generated the highest levels of negative emotional arousal and lowest desire to consume the product, but were the least acceptable. Acceptability was generally low for HWLs applied to alcohol, with 3 of 21 rated as acceptable, and was generally high for snacks, with 13 of 18 rated as acceptable. The majority of free-text comments expressed negative reactions to HWLs on alcohol or energy-dense snacks. Conclusions: Image-and-text health warning labels depicting bowel cancer showed greatest potential for reducing selection and consumption of alcoholic drinks and energy-dense snacks, although they were the least acceptable. Laboratory and field studies are needed to assess their impact on selection and consumption.

We argue that, at least within the Jaffe-Wilczek assignment, presently available data already indicate that mixing should occur at an observable level in both charge sectors, with mixing angles that can be predicted in terms of ratios of observable mass splittings.

description: The scope of this paper is to demonstrate a fully working and compact photonic Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) device capable of operating in real life scenarios as an authentication mechanism and random number generator. For this purpose, an extensive experimental investigation of a Polymer Optical Fiber (POF) and a diffuser as PUF tokens is performed and the most significant properties are evaluated using the proper mathematical tools. Two different software algorithms, the Random Binary Method (RBM) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), were tested for optimized key extraction and error correction codes have been incorporated for enhancing key reproducibility. By taking into consideration the limitations and overall performance derived by the experimental evaluation of the system, the designing details towards the implementation of a miniaturized, energy efficient and low-cost device are extensively discussed. The performance of the final device is thoroughly evaluated, demonstrating a long-term stability of 1 week, an operating temperature range of 50C, an exponentially large pool of unique Challenge-Response Pairs (CRPs), recovery after power failure and capability of generating NIST compliant true random numbers.

description: No analytic solution is known to date for a black hole in a compact dimension. We develop an analytic perturbation theory where the small parameter is the size of the black hole relative to the size of the compact dimension. We set up a general procedure for an arbitrary order in the perturbation series based on an asymptotic matched expansion between two coordinate patches: the near horizon zone and the asymptotic zone. The procedure is ordinary perturbation expansion in each zone, where additionally some boundary data comes from the other zone, and so the procedure alternates between the zones. It can be viewed as a dialogue of multipoles where the black hole changes its shape (mass multipoles) in response to the field (multipoles) created by its periodic "mirrors", and that in turn changes its field and so on. We present the leading correction to the full metric including the first correction to the area-temperature relation, the leading term for black hole eccentricity and the "Archimedes effect". The next order corrections will appear in a sequel. On the way we determine independently the static perturbations of the Schwarzschild black hole in dimension d>=5, where the system of equations can be reduced to "a master equation" - a single ordinary differential equation. The solutions are hypergeometric functions which in some cases reduce to polynomials.

description: Canada and the United States have implemented legislation to form a free trade area in the classic sense. The Canada America Free Trade Agreement, or CAFTA, is to be phased in over a ten year period which began on January 1, 1989. There are many elements to the agreement, but the most significant is the phased in reduction of tariffs on bilateral trade over a ten year period, plus removal of some significant non-tariff barriers. In addition the agreement sets out a new mechanism for resolving trade disputes involving the application of countervail and anti-dumping laws in both countries. This paper reports some estimates of the transition effect of the agreement using a sequenced general equilibrium model incorporating imperfect competition, scale economies and some labour market rigidities. Entry and exit dynamics are explicitly incorporated in the model simulations. Besides offering what we think are illuminating analyses of the agreement itself, the results in comparison to the static general equilibrium estimates offer support for the view that it is important in applied policy analysis to pay attention to adjustment and dynamics.

description: In this paper annual Canadian exploration data are used to estimate a multiple-output translog exploration cost function. A new definition of depletion is introduced and its estimated coefficient is found to be statistically significant. Another novel feature is the application of Monte Carlo integration to ensure the estimated cost function satisfies concavity and monotonicity. The *fitted cost function parameters are then used to obtain estimates of the marginal costs of exploration for oil and gas. Our estimated marginal exploration costs are smaller than previous* studies' because we have allowed for technical progress which offsets the depletion effects. These marginal cost estimates are employed, along with previous estimates of exploration rents, to measure resource scarcity. We find some evidence for the increased scarcity of oil and gas in Alberta- • For oil there is a 10.07. per year increase in scarcity along' the trend line while for natural gas there is a 1.87. per year increase in scarcity along, the Crend line.

The connection between vacua of SO(2N) and SO(2kN-2k+2) can also be seen in this framework. Similar analysis can also be applied for SO(2N+1) and SP(2N).

description: The paper studies the long-run impact of technological change on the labour market in a two-sector model with heterogeneous workers. First it is assumed, in line with stylized facts, that inventions increase both productivity and skill requirements. Such skill-intensive inventions cause increases in inequality, shifts of labour out of the technologically dynamic sector, and relative price changes. In contrast, a skill-neutral invention causes neither changes in inequality nor sectoral shifts, while a skill-extensive invention reduces inequality and causes sectoral shifts toward the innovative sector. Only a skill-neutral invention leads unequivocally to a Pareto improvement.

description: We consider the setting of online logistic regression and consider the regret with respect to the 2-ball of radius B. It is known (see [Hazan et al., 2014]) that any proper algorithm which has logarithmic regret in the number of samples (denoted n) necessarily suffers an exponential multiplicative constant in B. In this work, we design an efficient improper algorithm that avoids this exponential constant while preserving a logarithmic regret. Indeed, [Foster et al., 2018] showed that the lower bound does not apply to improper algorithms and proposed a strategy based on exponential weights with prohibitive computational complexity. Our new algorithm based on regularized empirical risk minimization with surrogate losses satisfies a regret scaling as O(B log(Bn)) with a per-round time-complexity of order O(d^2).

description: An empirical puzzle in international finance is the finding of a high correlation between national savings and domestic investment. This result is widely interpreted as evidence of low international capital mobility. In this paper we examine the long run behaviour of national savings and domestic investment for the United States and Canada in the time series context, by testing for evidence of cointegration between the two series. Overall we find little evidence of a cointegrating relationship between the levels of national savings and domestic investment, except for Canada during the Bretton Woods era.

description: This paper reviews the strategic trade literature in oligopolistic industries beginning with the Brander-Spencer (1984) model of duopolistic international rent-shifting. Issues of long run equilibrium, entry conditions, and empirical estimates of the size of oligopolistic rents in tradeable goods industries are reviewed. In addition the results of simulation models of strategic trade policy are summarized. The final sections of the paper deal with issues of the retaliation by other countries against single country policies and long term policy equilibrium. It is emphasized that the Prisoners' dilemma characterization of these equilibrium may in inappropriate, and managed trade may be a more plausible outcome in oligopolistic industries than strategic trade policies.

description: Protein kinases are a large class of enzymes with numerous biological roles and many have been implicated in a vast array of diseases, including cancer and the novel coronavirus infection COVID-19. Thus, the development of chemical probes to selectively target each kinase is of great interest. Inhibition of protein kinases with ATP-competitive inhibitors has historically been the most widely used method. However, due to the highly conserved structures of ATP-sites, the identification of truly selective chemical probes is challenging. In this review, we use the Ser/Thr kinase CK2 as an example to highlight the historical challenges in effective and selective chemical probe development, alongside recent advances in the field and alternative strategies aiming to overcome these problems. The methods utilised for CK2 can be applied to an array of protein kinases to aid in the discovery of chemical probes to further understand each kinase’s biology, with wide-reaching implications for drug development.

description: The implications of demand and cost fluctuations, both anticipated and uncertain, for the international distribution of industrial excess capacity are explored. Three partial equilibrium models of excess capacity and contingent protection policies which are correlated with distress on the part of the domestic firms are constructed. It is argued that conventional tariff-equivalent measures of protection are substantial understatements of the long run effects of contingent protection when sunk costs in the form of capacity are large. It is also argued that contingent protection exacerbates the degree of excess capacity on average in the industry, and further that anticipation of the policy 'triggers' for implementation of contingent protection fosters collusive behaviour in the industry.

description: A common problem in social, educational, behavioral and biological research is to investigate relationships between variables across several groups. Factor analysis is one such procedure with a long history of use. A more modern graphical procedure is the biplot of Gabriel (1971). Biplots result in a graphical display of correlation structure. We present results that extend an existing test of equality of correlation matrices. A new test statistic is proposed and is shown to be asymptotically distributed as a linear combination of independent $\chi\sp2$ random variables. This new formulation allows us to find the power of the existing test and our extensions by deriving the distribution under the alternative as that of a linear combination of independent non-central $\chi\sp2$ random variables. We also investigate the null and the alternative distributions of two related statistics. The first test statistic is defined as a quadratic form in deviations from a control group with the remaining K-1 groups to be compared. The second test is designed for comparing adjacent groups. In order to find a simple and accurate approximation for our statistics, we discuss several methods of approximating the distribution function of a definite quadratic form in normal variates. In particular, we investigate the two moment, the three moment, and the normal approximations. We also consider an approximation technique due to Imhof (1961). A Monte Carlo study is presented to assess the robustness of our procedure and the likelihood ratio test. We show that aside from the computational difficulties associated with the likelihood ratio test, this test is very sensitive to the assumption of multivariate normality. We also show that our test statistic performs well under non-normal distributions. To illustrate the techniques and assess the applicability of our procedure, we present several examples.

description: We show how short inflation naturally arises in a non-minimal gravity theory with a scalar field without any potential terms. This field drives inflation solely by its derivatives, which couple to the matter only through the combination $\bar g_{μν} = g_{μν} - \frac{1}{m^4} \partial_μϕ\partial_νϕ$. The theory is free of instabilities around the usual Minkowski vacuum. Inflation lasts as long as $\dot ϕ^2 > m^4$, and terminates gracefully once the scalar field kinetic energy drops below $m^4$. The total number of e-folds is given by the initial inflaton energy $\dot ϕ_0^2$ as ${\cal N} \simeq \frac13 \ln(\frac{\dot ϕ_0}{m^2})$. The field $ϕ$ can neither efficiently reheat the universe nor produce the primordial density fluctuations. However this could be remedied by invoking the curvaton mechanism. If inflation starts when $\dot ϕ^2_0 \sim M^4_P$, and $m \sim m_{EW} \sim TeV$, the number of e-folds is ${\cal N} \sim 25$. Because the scale of inflation is low, this is sufficient to solve the horizon problem if the reheating temperature is $T_{RH} \ga MeV$. In this instance, the leading order coupling of $ϕ$ to matter via a dimension-8 operator $\frac{1}{m^4}\partial_μϕ\partial_νϕ~ T^{μν}$ would lead to fermion-antifermion annihilation channels $f\bar f \to ϕϕ$ accessible to the LHC, while yielding very weak corrections to the Newtonian potential and to supernova cooling rates, that are completely within experimental limits.
