description: The reported temperature variations of CeB6 s magnetic entropy are inconsistent with the fourfold degeneracy of the crystal field ground state. This old question is here addressed through new specific heat measurements and an improved description, in the cage context, of both the phonons and crystal field contributions to the specific heat. The antiferromagnetic transition is characterized as first-order and its latent heat determined. From the phonons dispersion for a cage compound, the lattice specific heat contribution is derived from the LaB6 data. Once corrected for the first-order transition and lattice contributions, the magnetic entropy displays the characteristic plateau of the quadruplet crystal field ground state, but at temperatures in excess of 30 K. Below 30 K, as the ordering temperature is approached, the magnetic entropy is substantially reduced. This anomalous temperature dependence is consistent with a crystal field ground state split by the rare-earth movement, a phenomenon specific to rare-earth cage compounds.

description: How a cost shock is passed through into final consumer prices may relate to nominal price stickiness and rigidities, the existence of non adjustable cost components, strategic mark-up adjustments, or other contract terms along the supply distribution chain. This paper presents a simple framework to assess the potential role of non linear pricing contracts and vertical restraints such as resale price maintenance or wholesale price discrimination in the supply chain in explaining the degree of pass-through from upstream cost shocks in the ground coffee category to downstream retail prices. We do so in the German coffee market where both upstream and downstream firms make pricing decisions allowing for non linear pricing and vertical restraints. Using counterfactual simulations of an upstream coffee cost shock, we find that the existence of resale price maintenance between manufacturers and retailers increases pass through rate by more than 10 points relative to the case when this assumption is not allowed with non linear pricing or when double marginalization along the distribution chain is present. The intuition for our findings is that resale price maintenance restrictions make it less possible for retailers to perform strategic mark-up adjustments when faced with a cost shock. We also find that the larger the simulated cost shocks or the less concentrated upstream sector, and also when faced with less elastic demands, the larger the role of vertical restraints in preventing retailers to perform strategic mark-up adjustments, and thus the higher the pass-through increases.
Are supersymmetric models with large tan(beta) natural ?

description: We point out that, contrary to general belief, generic supersymmetric models are not technically unnatural in the limit of very large values of the parameter tan(beta) when radiative corrections are properly included. Rather, an upper limit on tan(beta) only arises from the requirement that Yukawa couplings remain perturbative up to some high scale. We quantify the relation between this scale and the maximum value of tan(beta). Whereas tan(beta) is limited to lie below 50-70 in the mSUGRA model, models with a much lower scale of new physics (beyond supersymmetry) may have tan(beta) < 150-200.

Evidence for the radiation-pressure dominated accretion disk in bursting pulsar GRO J1744-28 using timing analysis

description: The X-ray pulsar GRO J1744-28 is a unique source which shows both pulsations and type-II X-ray bursts, allowing studies of the interaction of the accretion disk with the magnetosphere at huge mass accretion rates exceeding $10^{19}$ g s$^{-1}$ during its super-Eddington outbursts. The magnetic field strength in the source, $B\approx 5\times 10^{11}$ G, is known from the cyclotron absorption feature discovered in the energy spectrum around 4.5 keV. Here, we explore the flux variability of the source in context of interaction of its magnetosphere with the radiation-pressure dominated accretion disk. Particularly, we present the results of the analysis of noise power density spectra (PDS) using the observations of the source in 1996-1997 by RXTE. Accreting compact objects commonly exhibit a broken power-law shape of the PDS with a break corresponding to the Keplerian orbital frequency of matter at the innermost disk radius. The observed frequency of the break can thus be used to estimate the size of the magnetosphere. We found, however, that the observed PDS of GRO J1744-28 differs dramatically from the canonical shape. Furthermore, the observed break frequency appears to be significantly higher than what is expected based on the magnetic field estimated from the cyclotron line energy. We argue that these observational facts can be attributed to the existence of the radiation-pressure dominated region in the accretion disk at luminosities above $\sim$2$\times 10^{37}$ erg s$^{-1}$. We discuss a qualitative model for the PDS formation in such disks, and show that its predictions are consistent with our observational findings. The presence of the radiation-pressure dominated region can also explain the observed weak luminosity-dependence of the inner radius, and we argue that the small inner radius can be explained by a quadrupole component dominating the magnetic field of the neutron star.

description: In this paper an applied approach for analysing economic problems under risk and uncertainty based on networks of decisions (NODs) will be discussed. It can be shown that network of decision analysis can help to understand complex decision problems under risk and uncertainty in single case situations. A variety of decision criteria like expectation values and a special ANOVA can be used to get better knowledge about prediction and controllability of the decision problems.

description: We discuss the semi-nonparametric approach of Gallant and Nychka (1987, Econometrica 55: 363–390), the semiparametric maximum likelihood approach of Klein and Spady (1993, Econometrica 61: 387–421), and a set of new Stata commands for semiparametric estimation of three binary-choice models. The first is a univariate model, while the second and the third are bivariate models without and with sample selection, respectively. The proposed estimators are √n consistent and asymptotically normal for the model parameters of interest under weak assumptions on the distribution of the underlying error terms. Our Monte Carlo simulations suggest that the efficiency losses of the semi-nonparametric and the semiparametric maximum likelihood estimators relative to a maximum likelihood correctly specified estimator of a parametric probit are rather small. On the other hand, a comparison of these estimators in non-Gaussian designs suggests that semi-nonparametric and semiparametric maximum likelihood estimators substantially dominate the parametric probit maximum likelihood estimator.

description: We investigate radiative feedback from a 34 M$_\odot$ star in a $10^4$ M$_\odot$ turbulent cloud using three-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamics (RHD) models. We use Monte Carlo radiative transfer to accurately compute photoionization equilibrium and radiation pressure, with multiple atomic species and silicate dust grains. We include the diffuse radiation field, dust absorption/re-emission, and scattering. The cloud is efficiently dispersed, with 75 per cent of the mass leaving the (32.3 pc)$^3$ grid within 4.3 Myr (1.1 $t_{ff}$). This compares to all mass exiting within 1.6 Myr (0.74 $t_{ff}$) in our previously published $10^3$ M$_\odot$ cloud. At most 20 per cent of the mass is ionized, compared to 40 per cent in the lower mass model, despite the ionized volume fraction being 80 per cent in both, implying the higher mass cloud is more resilient to feedback. The total Jeans-unstable mass increases linearly up to 1500 M$_\odot$ before plateauing after 2 Myr, corresponding to a core formation efficiency of 15 per cent. We also measure the time-variation of the far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation field, $G_0$, impinging on other cluster members, taking into account for the first time how this changes in a dynamic cluster environment with intervening opacity sources and stellar motions. Many objects remain shielded in the first 0.5 Myr whilst the massive star is embedded, after which $G_0$ increases by orders of magnitude. Gas motions later on cause comparable drops which happen instantaneously and last for $\sim$ 1 Myr before being restored. This highly variable UV field will influence the photoevaporation of protoplanetary discs near massive stars.

description: Nutrient sources and management influence soil properties and crop productivity indicating that sustained crop production needs nutrient rate specific tuning after certain periods of time. We hypothesize that long-term use of organic and inorganic nutrient sources maintains soil fertility and improve crop production. Yield and nutrient use efficiencies have not been evaluated in Bangladesh from long-term fertilizer trials focusing on adaptation strategies for sustained food production. So, the objectives of the present investigation were to examine the effects of organic and inorganic amendments on yields and soil properties under a rice-fallow-rice system. The experiment was initiated in 1985 with 12 treatments under dry season irrigated rice culture at the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute, Gazipur. The effects of organic and inorganic nutrient sources were evaluated under missing element techniques. The contributions of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) fertilizers to yields were more in the dry season but the role of P was negligible in the wet season. The omissions of N, P and K nutrients are not suitable management option for rice cultivation during dry and wet seasons, although P can be omitted in the wet season provided its full dose is applied in the dry season. The combined use of organic and inorganic nutrient sources are the best option for improving rice productivity and sustaining soil fertility in a rice-fallow-rice system in Bangladesh.

description: Automated vehicle acceptance (AVA) is a necessary condition for the realisation of higher-level objectives such as improvements in road safety, reductions in traffic congestion and environmental pollution. On the basis of a systematic literature review of 124 empirical studies, the present study proposes MAVA, a multi-level model to predict AVA. It incorporates a process-oriented view on AVA, considering acceptance as the result of a four-stage decision-making process that ranges from the exposure of the individual to automated vehicles (AVs) in Stage 1, the formation of favourable or unfavourable attitudes towards AVs in Stage 2, making the decision to adopt or reject AVs in Stage 3, to the implementation of AVs into practice in Stage 4. MAVA incorporates 28 acceptance factors that represent seven main acceptance classes. The acceptance factors are located at two levels, i.e., micro and meso. Factors at the micro-level constitute individual difference factors (i.e., socio-demographics, personality and travel behaviour). The meso-level captures the exposure of individuals to AVs, instrumental domain-specific, symbolic-affective and moral-normative factors of AVA. The literature review revealed that 6% of the studies investigated the exposure of individuals to AVs (i.e., knowledge and experience). 22% of the studies investigated domain-specific factors (i.e., performance and effort ­expectancy, safety, facilitating conditions, and service and vehicle ­characteristics), 4% symbolic-affective factors (i.e., hedonic motivation and social influence), and 12% moral-normative factors (i.e., perceived benefits and risks). Factors related to a person’s socio-demographic profile, travel behaviour and personality were investigated by 28%, 15% and 14% of the studies, respectively. We recommend that future studies empirically verify MAVA using longitudinal or experimental studies.

description: Energy levels, radiative rates and lifetimes are reported for four S-like ions, namely Sc~VI, V VIII, Cr IX, and Mn~X. Two independent atomic structure codes, namely the general-purpose relativistic atomic structure package ({\sc grasp}) and the flexible atomic code ({\sc fac}), have been adopted for calculating the energy levels, with differing amounts of configuration interaction. This is mainly to make some assessment of accuracy. However, the {\sc grasp} alone is used for calculating the remaining parameters. Results are reported for varying number of levels of these ions, and for calculating lifetimes contributions are included from all types of transitions, i.e. E1, E2, M1, and M2. Comparisons are made with the earlier available experimental and theoretical results and assessments of accuracy are given for each ion. Additionally, the presently reported data cover a significantly larger number of levels and transitions than already available in the literature for the four S-like ions.

description: The baseline of glucose level is one of the most fundamental metrics of glucose metabolism assessments and diabetes diagnosis. Under the demands of maintaining physical activity levels and stimulation from various external factors, blood glucose levels are in a fractal fluctuation state and maintain a day-night rhythm in physical condition. Although several stressors stimulation has been considered to increase glucose levels, how stress affects the glucose oscillation is unknown. Methods: In the study, we measure the glucose levels of mice by glucometer for exploring how the blood collection affect the fractal fluctuation of glucose. Furthermore, we monitor the glucose levels of rats by the continuous glucose monitoring system to study the change of glucose day-night rhythm underlying external stress. Results: We found that stressors (i.e., blood collection) expand the fractal fluctuation of blood glucose. Strikingly, external stress stimulation irreversibly erases the circadian rhythm of glucose levels. The cycle of activity and body temperature, which are tested simultaneously, are also disturbed by stress stimulation. Conclusions: These results reveal a novel insight that stress stimulation leads to an irreversible disruption of the glucose cycle and provides vital implications for the pathogenesis and treatment of long-term stress-induced glucose metabolic disorders.

description: Funnel plots are commonly used to investigate publication and related biases in meta-analysis. Although asymmetry in the appearance of a funnel plot is often interpreted as being caused by publication bias, in reality the asymmetry could be due to other factors that cause systematic differences in the results of large and small studies, for example, confounding factors such as differential study quality. Funnel plots can be enhanced by adding contours of statistical significance to aid in interpreting the funnel plot. If studies appear to be missing in areas of low statistical significance, then it is possible that the asymmetry is due to publication bias. If studies appear to be missing in areas of high statistical significance, then publication bias is a less likely cause of the funnel asymmetry. It is proposed that this enhancement to funnel plots should be used routinely for meta-analyses where it is possible that results could be suppressed on the basis of their statistical significance.

description: We discuss the collider signals of large extra dimensions in which gravity as well as the SM particles propagate into the extra dimensions. These signals arise either from the production of Kaluza-Klein excitations of the SM particles and their subsequent decay, or from their off-shell exchanges. Depending on the scenario, the dominant signals are two high p_T jets + missing energy, two high p_T photons + missing energy and soft leptons, or a combination of photon + jet and missing energy. For the scenario in which only the gauge bosons propagate into the extra dimensions, Tevatron Run II (LHC) can observe such signals up to a compactification scale of about 2 TeV (7 TeV), while for the case of universal extra dimensions, the corresponding limits are about 600 GeV (3 TeV) respectively.

description: Over recent decades, we have moved our workflows, record management, and communications into digital formats driven by computational algorithms that run on the global Internet infrastructure. This has been successful because of improved efficiency and convenience to both organizations and general humanity. These developments, however, have created opportunities for hacktivists, cyber-criminals and nation-state inspired cyber-attacks that have resulted in high-profile data breaches in government and commercial organizations, leading to huge financial losses, eroding or loss of reputations, and business closures. Cyber-attacks and breaches continue to rise even though cyber-security practitioners have continued to improve on Incidence Response, by investing heavily in prevention technologies. These investments have unfortunately not created a significant impact at stopping or slowing down data breaches. Response to cyber-attacks are still slow and high-profile breaches continue to rise and take center stage in global media coverage. This study investigates the effects of Task Disengagement among SOC Analysts, triggered by the stressful workplace of a typical SOC environment.

description: The monolithic integration of electromechanical transduction at the nanoscale with advanced CMOS is among the most important challenges of semiconductor electronic systems to leverage the multi-domain sensing, actuation, and resonance properties of nano-mechanical systems. Here we report on the demonstration of vibrating devices enabled by atomically engineered ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 thin films with a variety of mechanical resonance modes with frequencies (f0) between 340kHz - 13GHz and frequency-quality (Q) factor products (f0 x Q) up to 3.97 x 10^12. Experiments based on electrical and optical probing elucidate and quantify the role of the electrostrictive effect in the electromechanical transduction behavior of the Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 film. We further demonstrate the role of nonlinear electromechanical scattering on the operation of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 transduced resonators. This investigation also highlights the potential of atomically engineered ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 transducers for new classes of CMOS-monolithic linear and nonlinear nanomechanical resonators in centimeter- and millimeter-wave frequencies.

description: Table-like graphs can be interesting, useful, and even mildly innovative. This column outlines some Stata techniques for producing such graphs. graph dot is likely to be the most under-appreciated command among all existing commands. Using by() with various choices is a good way to mimic a categorical axis in many graph commands. When graph bar or graph dot is not flexible enough to do what you want, moving to the more flexible twoway is usually advisable. labmask and seqvar are introduced as new commands useful for preparing axis labels and axis positions for categorical variables. Applications of these ideas to, e.g., confidence interval plots lies ahead.

description: Magnesium (Mg) is a nutrient that affects the development of plants and is mainly supplied through liming performed to correct soil acidity. By acting on photosynthesis and influencing carbohydrate partitioning in the plant, supplementary Mg supplied through soil or foliar application can increase the yield and quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplemental Mg fertilization by soil or foliar application on plant nutritional status, tuber yield, and carbohydrate partitioning in potato crops in soil corrected with calcitic and dolomitic limestones. The experiment was carried out in pots under greenhouse conditions with a randomized block design in a 2 × 3 factorial scheme with four replications. Dolomitic limestone application and supplemental Mg fertilization via soil increased the concentrations of this nutrient in potato leaves. Liming with dolomitic limestone reduced the uptake of Ca and K by plants, but supplemental Mg fertilization did not alter the uptake of Ca, Mg or K. Supplemental Mg fertilization did not increase plant growth and tuber yield, even when calcitic limestone was used to elevate the base saturation to 60%; the exchangeable Mg concentration in soil was 9 mmolc dm−3, and the Ca:Mg relationship was 3.7. Liming with dolomitic limestone or providing supplemental Mg fertilization did not increase sugar and starch partitioning to the tubers.

description: We investigate by numerical simulations and analytical calculations the Bak-Sneppen model for biological evolution in scale-free networks. By using large scale numerical simulations, we study the avalanche size distribution and the activity time behavior at nodes with different connectivities. We argue the absence of a critical barrier and its associated critical behavior for infinite size systems. These findings are supported by a single site mean-field analytic treatment of the model.

The Chern-Simons Invariant in the Berry Phase of a Two by Two Hamiltonian

description: The positive (negaive)-energy eigen vectors of the two by two Hamiltonian $H=ř\cdot\vec{\s}$ where $\vec{\s}$ are the Pauli matrices and $ř$ is a 3-vector, form a U(1) fiber bundle when $ř$ sweeps over a manifold $\cM$ in the three dimensional parameter space of $ř$ . For appropriately chosen base space $\cM$ the resulting fiber bundle can have non-trivial topology. For example when $\cM=S^2\equiv\{ř; |ř|=1\}$ the corresponding bundle has a non-zero Chern number, which is the indicator that it is topologically non-trivial. In this paper we construct a two by two Hamiltonian whose eigen bundle shows a more subtle topological non-triviality over $\cM=R^3\bigcup\{\infty\}$, the stereographic projection of $S^3$. This non-triviality is characterized by a non-zero Chern-Simons invariant.

description: The inhibitory effects of six sesquiterpene lactones (1–6) isolated from Artemisia austroyunnanensis Ling & Y. R. Ling were studied on the LPS-induced inflammatory mediator production in RAW264.7 cells. The results showed they can decrease the level of ROS in a concentration-dependent response. The compounds down-regulate the expression of iNOS and COX-2 and a series of classical inflammatory factors, including TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10. These effects can be partially explained by the supression of the phosphorylation of NF-κB. Additionally, the relationship between their structures and inflammatory factors was analyzed and discussed.
Absence of correlation between built-in electric dipole moment and quantum Stark effect in InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots

description: We report significant deviations from the usual quadratic dependence of the ground state interband transition energy on applied electric fields in InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots. In particular, we show that conventional second-order perturbation theory fails to correctly describe the Stark shift for electric field below $F = 10$ kV/cm in high dots. Eight-band ${\bf k}\cdot{\bf p}$ calculations demonstrate this effect is predominantly due to the three-dimensional strain field distribution which for various dot shapes and stoichiometric compositions drastically affects the hole ground state. Our conclusions are supported by two independent experiments.
