Retail Electricity Competition
Creators: name: Joskow, Paul
name: Tirole, Jean
Publisher: name: Faculty of Economics
Year: 2004

description: We explore the implications of load profiling of consumers whose traditional meters do not allow for measurement of their real time consumption. We find the competitive equilibrium does not support the Ramsey two-part tariff. By contrast, when consumers are billed on real time prices and consumption, retail competition yields the Ramsey prices even when consumers can only partially respond to variations in real time prices. We then examine the incentive competitive retailers have to install one of two types of advanced metering equipment. Competing retailers overinvest in real time meters compared to the Ramsey optimum, but investment incentives are constrained optimal given load-profiling and retail competition. Finally, we consider the effects of physical limitations on the ability of system operators to cut off individual customers. Competing retailers have no incentive to determine the aggregate value of non-interruption of consumers, preferring instead to free-ride on other retailers serving the same zone.

description: We propose a novel formalism for simultaneously describing both, the hard and soft parton dynamics in ultrarelativistic collisions of nuclei. The emission of gluons from the initially coherent parton configurations of the colliding nuclei and low-$p_t$ color coherence effects are treated in the framework of a Yang-Mills transport equation on a coupled lattice-particle system. A collision term is added to the transport equation to account for the remaining intermediate and high-$p_t$ interactions in an infrared finite manner.

description: On a two-dimensional circular domain, we analyze the formation of spatio-temporal patterns for a class of coupled bulk-surface reaction-diffusion models for which a passive diffusion process occurring in the interior bulk domain is linearly coupled to a nonlinear reaction-diffusion process on the domain boundary. For this coupled PDE system we construct a radially symmetric steady state solution and from a linearized stability analysis formulate criteria for which this base state can undergo either a Hopf bifurcation, a symmetry-breaking pitchfork (or Turing) bifurcation, or a codimension-two pitchfork-Hopf bifurcation. For each of these three types of bifurcations, a multiple time-scale asymptotic analysis is used to derive normal form amplitude equations characterizing the local branching behavior of spatio-temporal patterns in the weakly nonlinear regime. Among the novel aspects of this weakly nonlinear analysis are the two-dimensionality of the bulk domain, the systematic treatment of arbitrary reaction kinetics restricted to the boundary, the bifurcation parameters which arise in the boundary conditions, and the underlying spectral problem where both the differential operator and the boundary conditions involve the eigenvalue parameter. The normal form theory is illustrated for both Schnakenberg and Brusselator reaction kinetics, and the weakly nonlinear results are favorably compared with numerical bifurcation results and results from time-dependent PDE simulations of the coupled bulk-surface system. Overall, the results show the existence of either subcritical or supercritical Hopf and symmetry-breaking bifurcations, and mixed-mode oscillations characteristic of codimension-two bifurcations. Finally, the formation of global structures such as large amplitude rotating waves is briefly explored through PDE numerical simulations.

Creators: name: Mohamed Ali Merroun
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This article examines social entrepreneurship as a catalyst for women's empowerment in rural areas of Morocco. It highlights the role of women's cooperatives, envisioned as a social enterprise model capable of reducing gender disparities and stimulating inclusive development. Based on a literature review and qualitative data gathered through semi-structured interviews, this study identifies the systemic obstacles and opportunities offered by social entrepreneurship to improve the economic and social conditions of rural Moroccan women. The focus is on how these cooperatives enable women to overcome traditional barriers, gain financial independence, and actively participate in the development of their communities. The article also highlights the ongoing challenges, particularly in terms of access to finance, training, and markets, while suggesting concrete and actionable ways to enhance the impact of these initiatives. The study's findings underscore the transformative potential of cooperatives, while also acknowledging the need for multi-faceted support to ensure their long-term sustainability.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We want to study the connections between the magnetic field generated inside the Sun and the solar wind impacting Earth, especially the influence of north-south asymmetry on the magnetic and velocity fields. We study a solar-like 11-year cycle in a quasi-static way: an asymmetric dynamo field is generated through a 2.5-dimensional (2.5-D) flux-transport model with the Babcock-Leighton mechanism, and then is used as bottom boundary condition for compressible 2.5-D simulations of the solar wind. We recover solar values for the mass loss rate, the spin-down time scale and the Alfvén radius, and are able to reproduce the observed delay in latitudinal variations of the wind and the general wind structure observed for the Sun. We show that the phase lag between the energy of the dipole component and the total surface magnetic energy has a strong influence on the amplitude of the variations of global quantities. We show in particular that the magnetic torque variations can be linked to topological variations during a magnetic cycle, while variations in the mass loss rate appear to be driven by variations of the magnetic energy.

description: We consider Wave Maps into the sphere and give a new proof of small data global well-posedness and scattering in the critical Besov space, in any space dimension $n \geq 2$. We use an adapted version of the atomic space $U^2$ as the single building block for the iteration space. Our approach to the so-called division problem is modular as it systematically uses two ingredients: atomic bilinear (adjoint) Fourier restriction estimates and an algebra property of the iteration space, both of which can be adapted to other phase functions.

We have searched with comparable sensitivity for related decays and report upper limits for these branching fractions.

description: Tangentially viewing fast camera footage of the low-field side snowflake minus divertor in TCV is analysed across a four point scan in which the proximity of the two X-points is varied systematically. The motion of structures observed in the post- processed movie shows two distinct regions of the camera frame exhibiting differing patterns. One type of motion in the outer scrape-off layer remains present throughout the scan whilst the other, apparent in the inner scrape-off layer between the two nulls, becomes increasingly significant as the X-points contract towards one another. The spatial structure of the fluctuations in both regions is shown to conform to the equilibrium magnetic field. When the X-point gap is wide the fluctuations measured in the region between the X-points show a similar structure to the fluctuations observed above the null region, remaining coherent for multiple toroidal turns of the magnetic field and indicating a physical connectivity of the fluctuations between the upstream and downstream regions. When the X-point gap is small the fluctuations in the inner scrape-off layer between the nulls are decorrelated from fluctuations upstream, indicating local production of filamentary structures. The motion of filaments in the inter-null region differs, with filaments showing a dominantly poloidal motion along magnetic flux surfaces when the X-point gap is large, compared to a dominantly radial motion across flux-surfaces when the gap is small. This demonstrates an enhancement to cross-field tranport between the nulls of the TCV low-field-side snowflake minus when the gap between the nulls is small.

description: Pharmacophore modeling and atom-based three-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationship (3D-QSAR) have been developed on N-acylglycino- and hippurohydroxamic acid derivatives, which are known potential inhibitors of urease. This is followed by virtual screening and ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) studies on a large library of known drugs in order to get lead molecules as Helicobacter pylori urease inhibitors. A suitable three-featured pharmacophore model comprising one H-bond acceptor and two H-bond donor features (ADD.10) has been found to be the best QSAR model. An external library of compounds (∼3000 molecules), pre-filtered using Lipinski’s rule of five, has been further screened using the pharmacophore model ADD.10. By analyzing the fitness of the hits with respect to the pharmacophore model and their binding interaction inside the urease active site, four molecules have been predicted to be extremely good urease inhibitors. Two of these have significant potential and should be taken up for further drug-designing process.
N=1 Dual String Pairs and their Modular Superpotentials

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We review the duality between heterotic and F--theory string vacua with N=1 space-time supersymmetry in eight, six and four dimensions. In particular, we discuss two chains of four-dimensional F--theory/heterotic dual string pairs, where F--theory is compactified on certain elliptic Calabi-Yau fourfolds, and the dual heterotic vacua are given by compactifications on elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds plus the specification of the $E_8\times E_8$ gauge bundles. We show that the massless spectra of the dual pairs agree by using, for one chain of models, an index formula to count the heterotic bundle moduli and determine the dual F--theory spectra from the Hodge numbers of the fourfolds and of the type IIB base spaces. Moreover as a further check, we demonstrate that for one particular heterotic/F--theory dual pair the N=1 superpotentials are the same.

description: Vibrio species play a crucial role in maintaining the carbon and nitrogen balance between the oceans and the land through their ability to employ chitin as a sole source of energy. This study describes the structural basis for the action of the GH20 β‐N‐acetylglucosaminidase (VhGlcNAcase) in chitin metabolism by Vibrio campbellii (formerly V. harveyi) strain ATCC BAA‐1116. Crystal structures of wild‐type VhGlcNAcase in the absence and presence of the sugar ligand, and of the unliganded D437A mutant, were determined. VhGlcNAcase contains three distinct domains: an N‐terminal carbohydrate‐binding domain linked to a small α+β domain and a C‐terminal (β/α)8 catalytic domain. The active site of VhGlcNAcase has a narrow, shallow pocket that is suitable for accommodating a small chitooligosaccharide. VhGlcNAcase is a monomeric enzyme of 74 kDa, but its crystal structures show two molecules of enzyme per asymmetric unit, in which Gln16 at the dimeric interface of the first molecule partially blocks the entrance to the active site of the neighboring molecule. The GlcNAc unit observed in subsite −1 makes exclusive hydrogen bonds to the conserved residues Arg274, Tyr530, Asp532 and Glu584, while Trp487, Trp546, Trp582 and Trp505 form a hydrophobic wall around the −1 GlcNAc. The catalytic mutants D437A/N and E438A/Q exhibited a drastic loss of GlcNAcase activity, confirming the catalytic role of the acidic pair (Asp437–Glu438).

Investigating sensitivity coefficients characterizing the response of a model of tau protein transport in an axon to model parameters

description: Evaluating the sensitivity of biological models to various model parameters is a critical step towards advancing our understanding of biological systems. In this paper, we investigated sensitivity coefficients for a model simulating transport of tau protein along the axon. This is an important problem due to the relevance of tau transport and agglomeration to Alzheimer’s disease and other tauopathies, such as some forms of parkinsonism. The sensitivity coefficients that we obtained characterize how strongly three observables (the tau concentration, average tau velocity, and the percentage of tau bound to microtubules) depend on model parameters. The fact that the observables strongly depend on a parameter characterizing tau transition from the retrograde to the anterograde kinetic states suggests the importance of motor-driven transport of tau. The observables are sensitive to kinetic constants characterizing tau concentration in the free (cytosolic) state only at small distances from the soma. Cytosolic tau can only be transported by diffusion, suggesting that diffusion-driven transport of tau only plays a role in the proximal axon. Our analysis also shows the location in the axon in which an observable has the greatest sensitivity to a certain parameter. For most parameters, this location is in the proximal axon. This could be useful for designing an experiment aimed at determining the value of this parameter. We also analyzed sensitivity of the average tau velocity, the total tau concentration, and the percentage of microtubule-bound tau to cytosolic diffusivity of tau and diffusivity of bound tau along the MT lattice. The model predicts that at small distances from the soma the effect of these two diffusion processes is comparable.

Here we focus on the investigation of these effects on the electronic energy loss of charged particles moving parallel with thin metallic films. The energy loss is calculated, within linear-response theory, from the knowledge of the density-response function of the inhomogeneous electron system, which we evaluate either in the random-phase approximation or with the use of an adiabatic and local exchange-correlation kernel.

description: The designing of metal-based anticancer therapeutic agents can be optimized in a better and rapid way if the ligands utilized have standalone properties. Therefore, even when the organometallic/coordination complex (i.e., metallodrug) gets dissociated in extreme conditions, the ligand can endorse its biological properties. Herein, we have synthesized and characterized ɳ6-p-cymene ruthenium diclofenac complex. Furthermore, the ruthenium complex interactions with human serum albumin (HSA) and ct-DNA have been studied using various spectroscopic studies viz., UV, fluorescence, and circular dichroism and exhibited a significant binding propensity. Furthermore, in vitro cytotoxicity assays were carried out against human breast cancer “MCF-7” cell line. The ɳ6-p-cymene ruthenium diclofenac complex registered significant cytotoxicity with an IC50 value of ∼25.0 µM which is comparable to the standard drugs. The ɳ6-p-cymene ruthenium diclofenac complex was able to decrease the MCF-7 cell proliferation and induced significant levels of apoptosis with relatively low toxicity.

description: This paper sets out to provide a risk-management tool (namely the distribution of the stock price of a warrant-issuing firm) and at the same time resolves an outstanding issue between the theory and the empirical evidence of the warrant pricing literature. In their seminal article on warrant pricing, Galai and Schneller (1978) make the following statement: ��if the distribution of the firm�s liquidation value is lognormal, the value of its share price is not lognormally distributed�. On the other hand recent empirical studies suggest that assuming lognormality for the stock price distribution of a warrant-issuing firm gives a very good approximation for the value of a warrant (this is the so-called �option-like� warrant valuation approximation). We show that despite of the fact that the (risk-neutral) distribution of a warrant-issuing firm and a non-warrant issuing firm is different, valuation by taking expectations of the discounted payoff of the warrant over the two different risk-neutral distributions produces warrant prices very close to each other for a large number of cases. Exceptions occur for deep-out-of-the-money and close to maturity out-of-the-money warrants in general. In such cases the �option-like� approximation will significantly overprice warrants.

description: The celebrated palette sparsification result of [Assadi, Chen, and Khanna SODA’19] shows that to compute a Δ + 1 coloring of the graph, where Δ denotes the maximum degree, it suffices if each node limits its color choice to O(log n) independently sampled colors in {1, 2,…, Δ + 1}. They showed that it is possible to color the resulting sparsified graph—the spanning subgraph with edges between neighbors that sampled a common color, which are only Õ(n) edges—and obtain a Δ + 1 coloring for the original graph. However, to compute the actual coloring, that information must be gathered at a single location for centralized processing. We seek instead a local algorithm to compute such a coloring in the sparsified graph. The question is if this can be achieved in poly (log n) distributed rounds with small messages.
Our main result is an algorithm that computes a Δ + 1-coloring after palette sparsification with O (log2 n) random colors per node and runs in O(log2 Δ + log3 log n) rounds on the sparsified graph, using O(log n)-bit messages. We show that this is close to the best possible: any distributed Δ + 1-coloring algorithm that runs in the LOCAL model on the sparsified graph, given by palette sparsification, for any poly (log n) colors per node, requires Ω(log Δ/ log log n) rounds. This distributed palette sparsification result leads to the first poly (log n)- round algorithms for Δ + 1-coloring in two previously studied distributed models: the Node Capacitated Clique, and the cluster graph model.

description: We study the effects of non-magnetic impurity vertex correction on nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/{T_1} $ of conventional s-wave superconductors within the Eliashberg formalism. We obtain, with a self-consistent $t-$matrix treatment of impurity scatterings, the expressions for impurity vertex function and nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate. The $1/T_1$ is evaluated with a simple approximation on angular average, and found to agree in clean limit with the previous result that $1/(T_1 T)$ remains unrenormalized under the impurity vertex correction. As dirtiness is increased, on the other hand, the coherence peak in $1/(T_1 T)$ is found to increase due to the impurity vertex correction. This result is discussed in connection with the experimental observations on conventional superconductors.

description: Background: Snakebite is a severe problem in the tropical countries including Indian subcontinent. Premier cases of cobra bites are being reported from western India (WI). Research design and methods: The proteome of WI N. naja venom (NnV) was deciphered by high resolution mass spectrometry analysis of venom, further fractionated by gel filtration (GF) or RP-HPLC followed by SDS-PAGE and then tandem mass spectrometric analysis of protein bands. The efficacy of commercial polyantivenom (PAV) towards WINnV was assessed by ELISA, immuno-blot, neutralization, and venom-PAV immunoaffinity chromatography studies. Results: Proteomic analysis of WINnV, GF fractions, and SDS-PAGE protein bands of RP-HPLC and GF peaks identified 14, 34, 40, and 54, distinct proteins, respectively, when searched against Elapidae database. The biochemical properties of WINnV correlated well with its proteome composition and pathophysiology of cobra envenomation, including neuroparalysis. This study also highlighted the differences in proteome composition between WINnV and previously reported Eastern India NnV. The tested antivenoms exhibited poor immuno-recognition and neutralization of low molecular mass proteins (<20 kDa), such as three-finger toxins, the major class of protein in WINnV. Conclusion: Improvements in production protocols of antivenoms is the necessity of the hour, supplemented with antibodies raised against the poorly recognized toxins.
Molecular Mott state in the deficient spinel GaV$_4$S$_8$

description: In this study, we investigated theoretically the Mott-insulating phase of a deficient spinel chalcogenide GaV$_4$S$_8$, which is known to form a tetrahedral V$_4$S$_4$ cluster unit that results in molecular orbitals (MOs) with a narrow bandwidth in the noninteracting limit. We used a cluster extension of charge self-consistent embedded dynamical mean-field theory to study the impact of strong intra-cluster correlations on the spectral properties as well as the structural degrees of freedom of the system. We found that the strong tetrahedral clustering renders the atomic Mott picture ineffective, and that the resulting MO picture is essential to describe the Mott phase. It was also found that, while the spectral properties can be qualitatively described by the truncation of the Hilbert space down to the lowest-energy MO, a proper description of the structural degrees of freedom requires the inclusion of multi-MO correlations that span a larger energy window. Specifically, we found that the lowest-energy MO description overemphasizes the clustering tendency, while the inclusion of the Hund's coupling between the lower- and higher-energy MOs corrects this tendency, bringing the theoretically predicted crystal structure into good agreement with the experiment.

Optimally Repurposing Existing Algorithms to Obtain Exponential-Time Approximations.

description: The goal of this paper is to understand how exponential-time approximation algorithms can be obtained from existing polynomial-time approximation algorithms, existing parameterized exact algorithms, and existing parameterized approximation algorithms. More formally, we consider a monotone subset minimization problem over a universe of size n (e.g., VERTEX COVER or FEEDBACK VERTEX Set). We have access to an algorithm that finds an α-approximate solution in time ck · nO(1) if a solution of size k exists (and more generally, an extension algorithm that can approximate in a similar way if a set can be extended to a solution with k further elements). Our goal is to obtain a dn · nO(1) time β-approximation algorithm for the problem with d as small as possible. That is, for every fixed α,c,β ≥ 1, we would like to determine the smallest possible d that can be achieved in a model where our problem-specific knowledge is limited to checking the feasibility of a solution and invoking the α-approximate extension algorithm. Our results completely resolve this question:
1. For every fixed α, c, β ≥ 1, a simple algorithm (“approximate monotone local search”) achieves the optimum value of d.
2. Given α, c, β ≥ 1, we can efficiently compute the optimum d up to any precision ɛ > 0.
Our technique gives novel results for a wide range of problems including FEEDBACK VERTEX Set, DIRECTED Feedback Vertex Set, Odd Cycle Traversal and Partial Vertex Cover.
The monotone local search algorithm we use is a simple adaptation of [Fomin et al., J. ACM 2019, Esmer et al., ESA 2022, Gaspers and Lee, ICALP 2017]. Still, attaining the above results required us to frame the result in a different way, and overcome a major technical challenge. First, we introduce an oracle based computational model which allows for a simple derivation of lower bounds that, unexpectedly, show that the running time of the monotone local search algorithm is optimal. Second, while it easy to express the running time of the monotone local search algorithm in various forms, it is unclear how to actually numerically evaluate it for given values of α, β and c. We show how the running time of the algorithm can be evaluated via a convex analysis of a continuous max-min optimization problem, overcoming the limitations of previous approaches to the α = β case [Fomin et al., J. ACM 2019, Esmer et al., ESA 2022, Gaspers and Lee, ICALP 2017].

description: The Compressed Baryonic Matter spectrometer (CBM) is a future fixed-target heavy-ion experiment located at the Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany. The key element in CBM providing hadron identification at incident beam energies between 2 and 11 AGeV (for Au-nuclei) will be a 120 m$^2$ large Time-of-Flight (ToF) wall composed of Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC) with a system time resolution better than 80 ps. Aiming for an interaction rate of 10 MHz for Au+Au collisions the MRPCs have to cope with an incident particle flux between 0.1~kHz/cm$^2$ and 100~kHz/cm$^2$ depending on their location. Characterized by granularity and rate capability the actual conceptual design of the ToF-wall foresees 6 different counter granularities and 4 different counter designs. In order to elaborate the final MRPC design of these counters several heavy-ion in-beam and cosmic tests were performed. In this contribution we present the conceptual design of the TOF wall and in particular discuss performance results of full-size MRPC prototypes.

description: In regions experiencing multiple phases of extension, rift‐related strain can vary along and across the basin during and between each phase, and the location of maximum extension can differ between the rift phase. Despite having a general understanding of multiphase rift kinematics, it remains unclear why the rift axis migrates between extension episodes. The role pre‐existing structures play in influencing fault and basin geometries during later rifting events is also poorly understood. We study the Stord Basin, northern North Sea, a location characterised by strain migration between two rift episodes. To reveal and quantify the rift kinematics, we interpreted a dense grid of 2D seismic reflection profiles, produced time‐structure and isochore (thickness) maps, collected quantitative fault kinematic data and calculated the amount of extension (β‐factor). Our results show that the locations of basin‐bounding fault systems were controlled by pre‐existing crustal‐scale shear zones. Within the basin, Permo‐Triassic Rift Phase 1 (RP1) faults mainly developed orthogonal to the E‐W extension direction. Rift faults control the locus of syn‐RP1 deposition, whilst during the inter‐rift stage, areas of clastic wedge progradation are more important in controlling sediment thickness trends. The calculated amount of RP1 extension (β‐factor) for the Stord Basin is up to β = 1.55 (±10%, 55% extension). During the subsequent Middle Jurassic‐Early Cretaceous Rift Phase 2 (RP2), however, strain localised to the west along the present axis of the South Viking Graben, with the Stord Basin being almost completely abandoned. Rift axis migration during RP2 is interpreted to be related to changes in lithospheric strength profile, possibly related to the ultraslow extension (<1 mm/year during RP1), the long period of tectonic quiescence (ca. 50 myr) between RP1 and RP2 and possible underplating. Our results highlight the very heterogeneous nature of temporal and lateral strain migration during and between extension phases within a single rift basin.
