description: Predominant thermal comfort provision technologies are energy-hungry, and yet they perform crudely because they overlook the requisite precursors to thermal comfort. They also fail to exclusively cool or heat the parts of the body (e.g., the wrist, the feet, and the head) that influence the most a person's thermal comfort satisfaction. Instead, they waste energy by heating or cooling the whole room. This research investigates the influence of neck-coolers on people's thermal comfort perception and proposes an effective method that delivers thermal comfort depending on people's heart rate variability (HRV). Moreover, because thermal comfort is idiosyncratic and depends on unforeseeable circumstances, only person-specific thermal comfort models are adequate for this task. Unfortunately, using person-specific models would be costly and inflexible for deployment in, e.g., a smart building because a system that uses person-specific models would require collecting extensive training data from each person in the building. As a compromise, we devise a hybrid, cost-effective, yet satisfactory technique that derives a personalized person-specific-like model from samples collected from a large population. For example, it was possible to double the accuracy of a generic model (from 47.77% to 96.11%) using only 400 person-specific calibration samples. Finally, we propose a practical implementation of a real-time thermal comfort provision system that uses this strategy and highlighted its advantages and limitations.

description: O objecto deste capítulo é a liberdade de imprensa em Macau durante o período de transição, de 1987 a 1999, com foco na imprensa portuguesa. O tópico foi abordado numa perspectiva crítica de Economia Política dos media, através de investigação de políticas de comunicação e entrevistas com editores, jornalistas e outros actores e agentes no processo de comunicação. Os nossos objectivos foram o entendimento de como o conceito ocidental de liberdade de imprensa se aplica localmente; investigar as políticas privadas e públicas em relação à imprensa; revelar práticas de controlo e pressão provenientes dos poderes políticos e económicos e analisar de que modo estas influenciam a prática jornalística. Concluímos que o período de transição criou um enquadramento político e económico que tendeu a exacerbar as tendências preexistentes para o contro- lo da imprensa, bem como os choques entre a imprensa e o poder. A administração local foi responsável pela maioria desses constrangimentos através do controlo dos seus funcionários, do controlo no acesso às fontes e da distribuição de publicidade oficial e, por último mas não menos importante, através da disseminação de uma visão patriótica que pressupunha que os jornalistas deveriam ser defensores do desígnio nacional, mesmo contra a sua própria ética profissional. A investigadora foi jornalista em Macau de 1991 a 2000 (imprensa, rádio, televisão, correspondente da revista Visão), bem como docente de Ciências da Comunicação na Universidade de Macau (1996-1999). Palavras-chave: Liberdade de imprensa, Censura, Propriedade dos média, Difamação, Transição de Macau.

Two Regulatory Aspects of INO1 Transcription in Yeast
Creators: name: Chang, Tschen-wei
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

description: This study focuses on understanding the mechanisms of expression control of a phospholipid biosynthetic gene, INO1. This study also includes investigation into transcriptional regulation of SNA3, a gene in tandem upstream of INO1.
INO1 expression is a prevailing model for transcription studies. INO1 is repressed under growth conditions with inositol and derepressed by two transcription activators, Ino2 and Ino4, when inositol is absent. Coordination of the centromeric binding factor, Cbf1, with Ino2 and Ino4 is required for efficient derepression of INO1. Transcription of the INO1 adjacent SNA3 gene is also influenced by inositol. INO1 and SNA3 are co-regulated by Cbf1, Ino2 and Ino4. However, the mechanism of this co-regulation is not fully understood.
A separate aspect of INO1 expression is its growth phase regulation. Under inositol depleted conditions, the expression of INO1 increases during log phase and decreases during stationary phase. Most genes in yeast are believed to be expressed at a constant level through all growth phases. It is unclear how INO1 growth phase regulation takes place.
The first part of my work focused on exploring the mechanism through which Cbf1, Ino2 and Ino4 control the inositol-mediated regulation of INO1 and SNA3. This included determining the necessity of the Cbf1 binding site for Ino2 and Ino4 binding, as well as for the inositol mediated regulation of INO1 and SNA3. The second part of my work focused on understanding the growth phase regulation of INO1. This includes examining the expression of INO1 in individual cells in a growing population.

description: We consider, in more details than it was done previously, the effective low-energy behavior in the quantum theory of a light scalar field coupled to another scalar with much larger mass. The main target of our work is an IR decoupling of heavy degrees of freedom, including in the diagrams with mixed light-heavy contents in the loops. It is shown that the one-loop diagrams with mixed internal lines produce an IR non-local contributions which are exactly the same as the ones in the theory of the light scalar alone, with the effective self-interaction which can be obtained by the functional integration of the heavy scalar, almost neglecting its kinetic term. The same effect takes place in curved space, regardless of a larger amount of non-localities which show up in the effective model.

Solar PV Adoption in the United States: An Empirical Investigation of State Policy Effectiveness
Creators: name: Chernyakhovskiy, Ilya
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2014

description: State policy incentives for solar power have grown significantly in the past several years. This paper examines the effectiveness of policy incentives to increase residential solar PV capacity. County-level solar adoption data and controls for demographic characteristics, solar resources, and pro-environmental preferences are used to estimate a model of residential solar adoption. Empirical findings show that financial incentives, solar-specific mandates, and loan financing programs are important drivers of residential PV capacity growth. Incentives that reduce the up-front cost of adoption and that are subject to low uncertainty are found to have the largest impact. Results also point to a significant positive relationship between hybrid vehicle sales and residential PV capacity growth, indicating the importance of pro-environmental preference as a predictor of solar PV demand.

description: Desde la aparición del primer periódico en lengua portuguesa en 1877, la prensa portuguesa en Estados Unidos ha desempeñado un rol comunicativo y socioeducativo relevante entre los inmigrantes. Tras un período en el que florecieron numerosos medios impresos en lengua portuguesa, gracias a la afluencia masiva de nuevos inmigrantes entre 1890 y 1920, el periodismo portugués en Estados Unidos se fue consolidando como una actividad profesional interesante para aquellos que tenían la formación y la capacidad de fundar un periódico y atraer un número suficiente de anunciantes y lectores para hacerlo sostenible. Algunos medios de comunicación fueron editados por familias en un entorno casi doméstico, hechos por y para inmigrantes portugueses con orígenes muy concretos, procedentes de pequeñas aldeas de las Azores, Madeira o de Portugal continental, y con perfiles socioculturales específicos. En este contexto de producción periodística con escasos recursos, las publicaciones en portugués se convirtieron en fuentes esenciales para los inmigrantes, no sólo como medio informativo que favorecía su proceso de integración a través de noticias y contenidos de interés sobre la comunidad luso-americana o las leyes y el estilo de vida estadounidenses, sino también estableciendo un diálogo transatlántico entre sus orígenes y su lugar de destino. Mediante la recopilación de varios elementos de análisis procedentes de diversas fuentes periodísticas o documentos de archivo, este trabajo pretende analizar, fundamentalmente, el papel informativo e instructivo de este fenómeno periodístico desde una perspectiva histórica, centrándose en las primeras décadas del siglo XX, cuando la producción de periódicos en portugués adquirió una relevancia cuantitativamente mayor.

description: We present here a new approach for using the intelligence aspects of artificial intelligence for knowledge discovery rather than device optimization in electromagnetic (EM) nanostructures. This approach uses training data obtained through full-wave EM simulations of a series of nanostructures to train geometric deep learning algorithms to assess the range of feasible responses as well as the feasibility of a desired response from a class of EM nanostructures. To facilitate the knowledge discovery and reduce the computation complexity, our approach combines the dimensionality reduction technique (using an autoencoder) with convex-hull and one-class support-vector-machine (SVM) algorithms to find the range of the feasible responses in the latent (or the reduced) response space of the EM nanostructure. We show that by using a small set of training instances (compared to all possible structures), our approach can provide better than 95% accuracy in assessing the feasibility of a given response. More importantly, the one-class SVM algorithm can be trained to provide the degree of feasibility (or unfeasibility) of a response from a given nanostructure. This important information can be used to modify the initial structure to an alternative one that can enable an initially unfeasible response. To show the applicability of our approach, we apply it to two important classes of binary metasurfaces (MSs), formed by array of plasmonic nanostructures, and periodic MSs formed by an array of dielectric nanopillars. In addition to theoretical results, we show the experimental results obtained by fabricating several MSs of the second class. Our theoretical and experimental results confirm the unique features of this approach for knowledge discovery in EM nanostructures.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Results on inclusive and exclusive bottom production in gammagamma collisions are presented. The total cross section of inclusive bottom production is investigated through its leptonic decays at LEP II energies by the experiments L3 and OPAL. The average cross section, after correction for acceptances and efficiencies, is sigma_tot = 13.3 +- 1.5 +- 2.3 pb. The next-to-leading order calculations are lower than the data by a factor three, which corresponds to a difference of more than three standard deviations. ALEPH studied the exclusive bottom production. Searching for the eta_b one candidate is found. Limits on Gamma_gammagamma(eta_b)*BR for 4 and 6 charged particles are extracted. The candidate has a mass of 9.30 +- 0.04 GeV.

The Effect of a New Hospital-Based Congestive Heart Failure Care Protocol on Rate of 30-Day Readmission Among CHF Patients
Creators: name: Cohen, Eric A
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

description: Approximately 20% of congestive heart failure (CHF) patients are readmitted within 30 days of hospital discharge, a rate which may be affected by in-hospital and post-discharge care. Reducing this rate is important to hospitals, both to improve outcomes and to avoid reductions in Medicare reimbursement. Assessing outcomes within a short post-discharge window best measures the impact of the care, planning, and followup of that admission; but most research on the effects of changes in CHF care has measured outcomes over periods longer than 30 days, adding the unpredictable long-term course of CHF to the factors affecting the outcome. As well, almost no studies to date have included the appreciable effects of CHF comorbidities in their analyses.
This study addresses these needs by measuring rates of 30-day all-cause readmission, and by adjusting for comorbidities and demographic factors in our analysis.
We hypothesize that an improved CHF care protocol including both in-hospital and post-discharge components will reduce the risk of readmission, and may alter the rate of change of that risk.
We have analyzed as an interrupted time series data on 2764 discharges of CHF patients from a hospital that implemented such a change to assess the effect of the new protocol on the readmission risk and on the trend in that risk, comparing outcomes in the 22 months preceding introduction of the new protocol to those in the first 31 months of full implementation. Using multiple logistic regression, we have tested for an association between the new protocol and both the unadjusted risk of readmission, and that risk in a model including comorbidities and demographic factors as covariates.
Neither model found a statistically significant association between introduction of the protocol and log-odds of readmission (unadjusted p = 0.847, adjusted p = 0.755) or between introduction of the protocol and change in risk of readmission over time (unadjusted p = 0.437, adjusted p = 0.313).
These results, in comparison with other published results, can clarify what changes to care protocols have been shown to be effective. Further, post hoc power analysis of this study can inform study design for further research.

description: Strong He II emission is produced by low-metallicity stellar populations. Here, we aim to identify and study a sample of He II $λ1640$-emitting galaxies at redshifts of $z \sim 2.5-5$ in the deep VANDELS spectroscopic survey.. We identified a total of 33 Bright He II emitters (S/N > 2.5) and 17 Faint emitters (S/N < 2.5) in the VANDELS survey and used the available deep multi-wavelength data to study their physical properties. After identifying seven potential AGNs in our sample and discarding them from further analysis, we divided the sample of \emph{Bright} emitters into 20 \emph{Narrow} (FWHM < 1000 km s$^{-1}$) and 6 \emph{Broad} (FWHM > 1000 km s$^{-1}$) He II emitters. We created stacks of Faint, Narrow, and Broad emitters and measured other rest-frame UV lines such as O III] and C III] in both individual galaxies and stacks. We then compared the UV line ratios with the output of stellar population-synthesis models to study the ionising properties of He II emitters. We do not see a significant difference between the stellar masses, star-formation rates, and rest-frame UV magnitudes of galaxies with He II and no He II emission. The stellar population models reproduce the observed UV line ratios from metals in a consistent manner, however they under-predict the total number of \heii ionising photons, confirming earlier studies and suggesting that additional mechanisms capable of producing He II are needed, such as X-ray binaries or stripped stars. The models favour subsolar metallicities ($\sim0.1Z_\odot$) and young stellar ages ($10^6 - 10^7$ years) for the He II emitters. However, the metallicity measured for He II emitters is comparable to that of non-He II emitters at similar redshifts. We argue that galaxies with He II emission may have undergone a recent star-formation event, or may be powered by additional sources of He II ionisation.

description: Currently per capita consumption of dairy products in China is low. In view of China’s strong economic growth and the resulting higher consumer income, whether this would represent a great market potential for dairy products has drawn much interest from the dairy industry both within and outside China. This paper overviews China’s dairy market with up-to-date information and highlights important factors affecting its development. The study shows that the growth of demand for dairy products in China is promising. However, despite the fact that China’s accession to the WTO will result in reductions in trade barriers, a substantial increase in exports of dairy products to the Chinese market is unlikely in the near future. This is due to a number of reasons including taste differences between the Chinese and the consumers of those major dairy exporters. Increased understanding of the Chinese dairy markets and increased attention to modifying their products to suit the tastes of the Chinese are essential for dairy exporters to succeed in the Chinese market.

description: A quality-of-life index (QLI), a proxy measure of utility, is constructed by factor-weighted and simple-summation weighted aggregation of socio-psychological measures of well-being. The socio-psychological measures were constructed from quality of life domains taken from selected years of the General Social Surveys [General Social Surveys, 1972-1993: Cumulative Code Book. Principal Investigator, James A. Davis; Director and Co-Principal Investigator, Tom W. Smith - Chicago: National Opinion Research Center, 1993. (National Data Program for the Social Sciences Series, no. 13).]. The Quality of Life Indices (QLI) indices are regressed on selected socio-demographic variables using quadratic, Cobb-Douglas, square root, and semilog functional forms. QLI is much influenced by income, education, and health. As measured here, QLI is not much influenced by year of measurement, sector, or by region of residence. Much variability in the QLI is unique to individuals, and our results are suited to predict group, rather than individual well-being. Practitioners computing the benefit-cost ratio for a public program, project, or policy can weight dollars by income groups with marginal utilities derived from this study. That methodology will matter: even the 'conservative' quadratic equation indicates that the marginal utility of income (MUI) for families with very low incomes is half as large as for families with median incomes. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: We compute the forces, torque and rate of work on the companion-core binary due to drag in global simulations of common envelope (CE) evolution for three different companion masses. Our simulations help to delineate regimes when conventional analytic drag force approximations are applicable. During and just prior to the first periastron passage of the in-spiral phase, the drag force is reasonably approximated by conventional analytic theory and peaks at values proportional to the companion mass. Good agreement between global and local 3D "wind tunnel" simulations, including similar net drag force and flow pattern, is obtained for comparable regions of parameter space. However, subsequent to the first periastron passage, the drag force is up to an order of magnitude smaller than theoretical predictions, quasi-steady, and depends only weakly on companion mass. The discrepancy is exacerbated for larger companion mass and when the inter-particle separation reduces to the Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion radius, creating a turbulent thermalized region. Greater flow symmetry during this phase leads to near balance of opposing gravitational forces in front of and behind the companion, hence a small net drag. The reduced drag force at late times helps explain why companion-core separations necessary for envelope ejection are not reached by the end of limited duration CE simulations.

description: This study tests the market efficiency hypothesis for coffee and cocoa futures using daily data for contracts with a maturity of 2 and 6 months. The hypothesis is tested sequentially. The first condition is that future spot and futures prices be cointegrated. If this condition is maintained, market efficiency requires the cointegrating vector to support a (0, 1) restriction that can be likened to an unbiasedness condition. Finally, market efficiency imposes zero restrictions on the parameters of the variables expressed in first differences in the specification of the error-correction representation of the relationship between future spot and futures prices. Brenner and Kroner [Brenner, R., Kroner, K., 1995. Arbitrage, cointegration, and testing the unbiasedness hypothesis in financial markets. Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis 30, pp. 23-42] argue that the cointegration condition is rarely met in practice. They attribute this outcome to potentially non-stationary net cost-of-carry which would make the parameters of the cointegration relation unstable. It is for this reason that Hansen's tests [Hansen, B.E., 1992. Tests of parameter instability in regressions with /(1) processes. Journal of Business and Economic Statistics 10] about the stability of the parameters in cointegration regressions were used to supplement more traditional cointegration tests. Johansen and Juselius' cointegration tests [Johansen, S., Juselius, K., 1992. Testing structural hypotheses in a multivariate cointegration analysis of the PPP and the UIP for UK, Journal of Econometrics 53] could not reject cointegration for all four contracts while Hansen's Lc test favored cointegration only for the cocoa contracts. Nested and non-nested testing procedures were used to test the (0, 1) restriction on the cointegration vector. Unbiasedness was found to be robust across testing procedures. However, further testing about the specification of the error-correction representation revealed the existence of important short run deviations from unbiasedness. Even though these results hold strictly for a rather limited number of contracts and commodities, they are encouraging for futures markets advocates in developing countries. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: We have recently found that the gravitational field of a static spherical mass removes the Landau degeneracy of the energy levels of a particle moving around the mass inside a magnetic field by splitting the energy of the Landau orbitals. In this paper we present the second part of our investigation of the effect of gravity on Landau levels. We examine the effect of the gravitational fields created by an infinitely long massive cylinder and a rotating spherical mass. In both cases, we show that the degeneracy is again removed thanks to the splitting of the particle's orbitals. The first case would constitute an experimental test - which is quantum mechanical in nature - of the gravitational field of a cylinder. The approach relies on the Newtonian approximation of the gravitational potential created by a cylinder but, in view of self-consistency and for future higher-order approximations, the formalism is based on the full Levi-Civita metric. The second case opens up the possibility for a novel quantum mechanical test of the well-known rotational frame-dragging effect of general relativity.

description: Non-point source pollution, such as nutrient runoff to waterways from agricultural production, is an environmental problem that typically involves asymmetric information. Land use changes to reduce pollution incur opportunity costs that are privately known to landholders, but these changes provide environmental benefits that may be more accurately estimated by regulators. This paper reports a testbed laboratory experiment in which landholder/sellers in multi-round, sealed-offer auctions compete to obtain part of a fixed budget allocated by the regulator to subsidize pollution abatement. In one treatment the regulator reveals to landholders the environmental benefits estimated for their alternative projects, and in another treatment the regulator conceals the potential projects’ “environmental quality.” The results show that sellers’ offers misrepresent their costs more for high quality projects when quality is revealed, so total abatement is lower and seller profits are higher when landholders know their projects’ environmental benefits. This suggests that concealing this information may improve regulatory efficiency.

description: The equations which determine the response of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field to an incident gravitational wave(GW) are derived in the linearized approximation to general relativity. We briefly discuss several astrophysical applications of the derived formulae taking into account the resonance between the wave and the particle's motion which occurs at $ω_g=2Ω$, whenever the GW is parallel to the constant magnetic field. In the case where the GW is perpendicular to the constant magnetic field, magnetic resonances appear at $ω_g=Ω$ and $ω_g=2Ω$. Such resonant mechanism may be useful to build models of GW driven cyclotron emitters.

Universal mechanism of discontinuity of commensurate-incommensurate transitions in three-dimensional solids: Strain dependence of soliton self-energy

description: We show that there exists a universal mechanism of long-range soliton attraction in three-dimensional solids and, therefore, of discontinuity of any commensurate-incommensurate (C-IC) phase transition. This mechanism is due to the strain dependence of the soliton self-energy and specific features of the solid-state elasticity. The role of this mechanism is studied in detail for a class of C-IC transitions where the IC modulation is one-dimensional, the anisotropy in the order parameter space is small, and the symmetry of the systems allows the existence of the Lifshitz invariant. Two other mechanisms of soliton attraction are operative here but the universal mechanism considered in this paper is found to be the most important one in some cases. Comparison with the most extensively studied C-IC transition in $\rm K_2SeO_4$ shows that the experimentally observed thermal anomalies can be understood as a result of the smearing of the theoretically predicted discontinuous transition.

description: Despite the wider application of efficiency analysis in Indian agriculture, little has been done on the investigation of intra and interecological variations, size differences and their interactions. However, ecological issues have paramount implications for the low-input sustainable agricultural production. Furthermore, due to the various causes of efficiency, the age-old size-based debate on efficiency differences is not yet resolved. The present study examines the level of technical efficiency across ecological zones and farm size groups in paddy farms of the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The study showed that 90% of the variation in output among paddy (IR-20) farms ' in the state is due to differences in technical efficiency. Land, animal power and fertilisers have significant influence on the level of paddy production. Varying from 0.59 to 0.97, the mean technical efficiency was found to be 0.83. The use of F-test in two-way analysis of variance (ANOV A) and censored regression (Tobit model), with dummies for ecological zones, farm size groups and their interactions, has shown that, at mean level, the level of technical efficiency among paddy farms of the state differs significantly across agro-ecological zones and size groups as well. The study further indicated that small-sized paddy farms in zone II and medium-sized paddy farms in zone III are represented by ecologically size-biased production techniques; thus achieving higher technical efficiency. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
