description: This paper studies the structure of state-contingent contracts in the presence of moral hazard and multi-tasking. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the presence of multi-tasking to lead to fixed payments instead of incentive schemes are identified. It is shown that the primary determinant of whether multi-tasking leads to higher or lower powered incentives is the role that noncontractible outputs play in helping the agent deal with the production risk associated with the observable and contractible outputs. When the noncontractible outputs are socially undesirable and risk substitutes, standards are never optimal. If the noncontractible outputs are socially desirable, standards are never optimal if the noncontractible outputs play a risk-complementary role.

description: We propose a scenario in which a strong Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry breaking in the early universe results in large inhomogeneities of the initial QCD axion field value, leading to the formation of very dense axion bubbles. Some of the axion bubbles subsequently collapse into primordial black holes (PBHs). The spatially homogeneous part of the QCD axion explains dark matter of the universe, while the PBHs arising from the axion bubbles can explain the LIGO events or the seed of supermassive black holes. Interestingly, the mass of PBH is determined by the axion decay constant; for $f_a = 10^{17} (10^{16})$ GeV, the PBH mass is heavier than about $10 (10^4) M_\odot$. In addition, axion miniclusters are also formed from the axion bubbles more abundantly than PBHs, and their masses are expected to be heavier than in the usual scenario based on the spontaneous breaking of the PQ symmetry after inflation.

description: Starting from a simple definition of stationary regime in first-order relaxation processes, we obtain that experimental results are to be fitted to a power-law when approaching the stationary limit. On the basis of this result we propose a graphical representation that allows the discrimination between power-law and stretched exponential time decays. Examples of fittings of magnetic, dielectric and simulated relaxation data support the results.

description: Monolayers (MLs) of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) such as WSe2 and MoSe2 can be placed by dry stamping directly on broadband dielectric resonators, which have the ability to enhance the spontaneous emission rate and brightness of solid-state emitters at room temperature. We show strongly enhanced emission and directivity modifications in room temperature photoluminescence mapping experiments. By varying TMD material (WSe2 versus MoSe2) transferred on silicon nanoresonators with various designs (planarized versus non-planarized), we experimentally separate the different physical mechanisms that govern the global light emission enhancement. For WSe2 and MoSe2 we address the effects of Mie Resonances and strain in the monolayer. For WSe2 an important additional contribution comes from out-of-plane exciton dipoles. This paves the way for more targeted designs of TMD-Si nanoresonator structures for room temperature applications.

description: We present the results of electronic structure calculations for the two-dimensional ferromagnet Rb_2CrCl_4. They are obtained by the augmented spherical wave method as based on density functional theory and the local density approximation. In agreement with experimental data Rb_2CrCl_4 is found to be semiconducting and displays long-range ferromagnetic order of the localized Cr 3d moments. The magnetic properties are almost independent of the structural modifications arising from the Jahn-Teller instability, which leads from the parent body-centered tetragonal K_2NiF_4 structure to a side-centered orthorhombic lattice. In contrast, our calculations give evidence for a strong response of the optical band gap to the corresponding structural changes.

description: We present a unified parametrization of quark and lepton mixing matrices. By using some simple relations between the mixing angles of quarks and leptons, i.e., the quark-lepton complementarity, we parametrize the lepton mixing matrix with the Wolfenstein parameters $λ$ and $A$ of the quark mixing matrix. It is shown that the Wolfenstein parameter $λ$ can measure both the deviation of the quark mixing matrix from the unit matrix, and the deviation of the lepton mixing matrix from the exactly bimaximal mixing pattern.

description: We obtain a new class of solutions by revisiting the Vaidya-Tikekar stellar model in the linear regime. Making use of the Vaidya and Tikekar metric ansatz [J. Astrophys. Astron. {\bf3} (1982) 325] describing the spacetime of static spherically symmetric relativistic star composed of an anisotropic matter distribution admitting a linear EOS, we solve the Einstein field equations and subsequently analyze physical viability of the solution. We probe the impact of the curvature parameter $K$ of the Vaidya-Tikekar model, which characterizes a departure from homogeneous spherical distribution, on the mass-radius relationship of the star. In the context of density-dependent MIT Bag models, we show a correlation between the curvature parameter, the bag constant and total mass and radius of some of the well-known pulsars viz., 4U 1820-30, RX J1856-37, SAXJ 1808.4 and Her X-1. We explore the possibility of fine-tuning these parameters based on current observational data.

description: We show that the density of indium islands on GaAs(111)A substrates have a non-monotonic, reentrant behavior as a function of the indium deposition temperature. The expected increase in the density with decreasing temperature, indeed, is observed only down to 160 °C, where the indium islands undertake the expected liquid-to-solid phase transition. Further decreasing the temperature causes a sizeable reduction of the island density. An additional, reentrant increasing behavior is observed below 80 °C. We attribute the above complex behavior to the liquid-solid phase transition and to the complex island-island interaction which takes place between crystalline islands in the presence of strain. Indium solid islands grown at temperatures below 160 °C have a face-centered cubic crystal structure.

Can countertransference manifestations be identified during counselling sessions?
Creators: name: De Vita, Elsie Lorna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study investigated two main research questions: first, could countertransference manifestations, operationalized as counsellor over-involvement and under-involvement, be reliably identified by independent judges observing videotapes of actual therapy sessions; and second, was there evidence to support the contention that counsellor over-involvement and under-involvement were valid indicators of countertransference behaviour. A multiple case study research design was employed to research this phenomenon. In order to respond to the second research question, this study had to determine whether the first research question could be answered with confidence. Thus, a methodology was employed for the first research question that maximized the reliability of measuring counsellor over-involvement and under-involvement. A generalizability (G) study was conducted to assess the dependability o f the behavioural measure of countertransference. The G study helped to design the decision (D) study (e.g., how many counsellor-client dyads, sessions, and judges would be needed to obtain a reliable measure o f counsellor over-involvement and under-involvement). The D study included two counsellor-client dyads across eight therapy sessions. Three judges used videotapes and transcriptions of the sessions to rate each counsellor response for over-involvement and under-involvement using a 7-point Likert scale (i.e., - 3 = under-involved; -2 = somewhat under-involved; -1 = possibly under-involved; 0 = empathically involved; +1 = possibly over-involved; +2 = somewhat over-involved; +3 = over-involved). This study confirmed that counsellor over-involvement and underinvolvement could be reliably observed by independent judges. The average intra-class correlation across eight therapy sessions was .76 for Counsellor One and .79 for Counsellor Two. A moving averages graphing procedure was used to identify episodes where each counsellor's over or under-involved response departed from their individual baseline, using sessions with reliability coefficients greater than .75. These episodes were used as the focus for research question two, investigating indicators of countertransference. A Qualitative (Q) study was conducted to respond to the second research question. Data was collected from multiple information sources (e.g., episodes of over and under-involvement from session transcripts, counsellor session notes, supervision notes, and counsellor and supervisors ratings). These data were then analyzed qualitatively by triangulating the data and identifying themes. The results suggested that counsellor over-involvement and under-involvement are interpretable as valid indicators of countertransference behaviour.

description: The classical Erd\H os-Ko-Rado theorem states that if $k\le\floor{n/2}$ then the largest family of pairwise intersecting $k$-subsets of $[n]=\{0,1,...,n\}$ is of size ${{n-1}\choose{k-1}}$. A family of $k$ subsets satisfying this pairwise intersecting property is called an EKR family. We generalize the EKR property and provide asymptotic lower bounds on the size of the largest family ${\cal A}$ of $k$-subsets of $[n]$ that satisfies the following property: For each $A,B,C\in{\cal A}$, each of the four sets $A\cap B\cap C;A\cap B\cap C^C; A\cap B^C\cap C; A^C\cap B\cap C$ are non-empty. This generalized EKR (GEKR) property is motivated, generalizations are suggested, and a comparison is made with fixed weight 3-covering arrays. Our techniques are probabilistic.

description: We report on the development of a new model of alveolar air-tissue interface on a chip. The model consists of an array of suspended hexagonal monolayers of gelatin nanofibers supported by microframes and a microfluidic device for the patch integration. The suspended monolayers are deformed to a central displacement of 40-80 um at the air-liquid interface by application of air pressure in the range of 200-1000 Pa. With respect to the diameter of the monolayers that is 500 um, this displacement corresponds to a linear strain of 2-10% in agreement with the physiological strain range in the lung alveoli. The culture of A549 cells on the monolayers for an incubation time 1-3 days showed viability in the model. We exerted a periodic strain of 5% at a frequency of 0.2 Hz during 1 hour to the cells. We found that the cells were strongly coupled to the nanofibers, but the strain reduced the coupling and induced remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton, which led to a better tissue formation. Our model can serve as a versatile tool in lung investigations such as in inhalation toxicology and therapy.

description: In settings characterized by imperfect information about an underlying state of nature, but where inferences are made sequentially and are publicly observable, decisions may yield a "cascade" in which everyone herds on a single choice. While cascades potentially play a role in a variety of settings, from technology adoption to social processes such as mate selection, understanding cascade phenomena is imperative for financial markets. Previous empirical efforts studying cascade formation have used both naturally occurring data and laboratory experiments. In this paper, we combine one of the attractive elements of each line of research-observation of market professionals in a controlled environment-to push the investigation of cascade behavior into several new directions. Numerous empirical insights are obtained; perhaps most importantly, we find that market professionals behave quite differently than a control group of student subjects. In particular, market professionals, more so than students, base their decisions on the "quality" of the public signal, leading them to be more likely to disregard "bad" signals. And, unlike in the case with students, for market professionals, the propensity to be Bayesian does not differ significantly across the gain and loss domains. These results have important implications in both a positive and normative sense.

description: The existing empirical literature on farmers' use of soil-conserving, runoff-reducing farming practices, while sizable, contains relatively little information on the influence of cost on adoption decisions and on how farmers combine multiple practices into an overall conservation package. Such knowledge is important in light of current interest in reorienting agricultural policy toward environmental and resource conservation goals. This paper uses farmer survey data combined with information on standard unit costs of installing seven soil-conserving, runoff-reducing practices obtained from a state cost sharing program to estimate latent demand models for each of these seven practices. All seven exhibit downward sloping demand. Topographical variations in adoption conform to expectations as well. The estimation results suggest that cost sharing should have substantial effects on the adoption of four practices. They also indicate strong complementarity among four others. The results are then used to derive implications for the design and implementation of cost sharing programs, which have been the principal policy used to address nonpoint source water pollution problems emanating from agriculture.

description: Prediction of particle radiative heat transfer flux is an important task in the large discrete granular systems, such as pebble bed in power plants and industrial fluidized beds. For particle motion and packing, discrete element method (DEM) now is widely accepted as the excellent Lagrangian approach. For thermal radiation, traditional methods focus on calculating the obstructed view factor directly by numerical algorithms. The major challenge for the simulation is that the method is proven to be time-consuming and not feasible to be applied in the practical cases. In this work, we propose an analytical model to calculate macroscopic effective conductivity from particle packing structures Then, we develop a deep neural network (DNN) model used as a predictor of the complex view factor function. The DNN model is trained by a large dataset and the computational speed is greatly improved with good accuracy. It is feasible to perform real-time simulation with DNN model for radiative heat transfer in large pebble bed. The trained model also can be coupled with DEM and used to analyze efficiently the directional radiative conductivity, anisotropic factor and wall effect of the particle thermal radiation.

description: Tensor networks states allow to find the low energy states of local lattice Hamiltonians through variational optimization. Recently, a construction of such states in the continuum was put forward, providing a first step towards the goal of solving quantum field theories (QFTs) variationally. However, the proposed manifold of continuous tensor network states (CTNSs) is difficult to study in full generality, because the expectation values of local observables cannot be computed analytically. In this paper, we study a tractable subclass of CTNSs, the Gaussian CTNSs (GCTNSs), and benchmark them on simple quadratic and quartic bosonic QFT Hamiltonians. We show that GCTNSs provide arbitrarily accurate approximations to the ground states of quadratic Hamiltonians, and decent estimates for quartic ones at weak coupling. Since they capture the short distance behavior of the theories we consider exactly, GCTNSs even allow to renormalize away simple divergences variationally. In the end, our study makes it plausible that CTNSs are indeed a good manifold to approximate the low energy states of QFTs.

description: We study a generalized Hadamard walk in one dimension with three inner states. The particle governed by the three-state quantum walk moves, in superposition, both to the left and to the right according to the inner state. In addition to these two degrees of freedom, it is allowed to stay at the same position. We calculate rigorously the wavefunction of the particle starting from the origin for any initial qubit state, and show the spatial distribution of probability of finding the particle. In contrast with the Hadamard walk with two inner states on a line, the probability of finding the particle at the origin does not converge to zero even after infinite time steps except special initial states. This implies that the particle is trapped near the origin after long time with high probability.

Global Antitrust Prosecution of Modern International Cartels

description: International cartelists face investigations and possible fines in a score of national and supranational jurisdictions, but the three with the most consistent legal responses to global cartels are the United States, Canada, and the EU. This paper examines the antitrust fines and private penalties imposed on the participants of 167 international cartels discovered during 1990-2003. While more than US$ 10 billion in penalties has been imposed, it is doubtful that such monetary sanctions can deter modern international cartels. The apparently large size of government fines is distorted by one overwhelming case. Moreover, deterrence is frustrated by the failure of compensatory private suits to take hold outside of North America and the near absence of fines in most Asian jurisdictions. Without significant increases in cartel detection, in the levels of expected fines or civil settlements, or expansion of the standing of buyers to seek compensation, international price fixing will remain rational business conduct.

description: We consider a one-dimensional wire in gaussian random potential. By treating the spatial direction as imaginary time, we construct a `minimal' zero-dimensional quantum system such that the local statistical properties of the wire are given as products of statistically independent matrix elements of the evolution operator of the system. The space of states of this quantum system is found to be a particular non-unitary, infinite dimensional representation of the pseudo-unitary group, U(1,1). We show that our construction is minimal in a well defined sense, and compare it to the supersymmetry and Berezinskii techniques.

description: We study structural phase transition of polymer-grafted colloidal particles by Monte Carlo simulations on hard spherical particles. The interaction potential, which has a weak repulsive step outside the hard core, was validated with use of the self-consistent field calculations. With this potential, canonical Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out in two and three dimensions using the Metropolis algorithm. At low temperature and high density, we find that the particles start to self-assemble and finally align in strings. By analyzing the cluster size distribution and string length distribution, we construct a phase diagram and find that this string-like assembly is related to the percolation phenomena. The average string length diverges in the region where the melting transition line and the percolation transition line cross, which is similar to Ising spin systems where the percolation transition line and the order-disorder line meet on the critical point.

description: Mechanical properties of the cell are important biomarkers for probing its architectural changes caused by cellular processes and/or pathologies. The development of microfluidic technologies have enabled measuring cell mechanics at high-throughput, so that mechanical phenotyping can be applied to large samples in reasonable time-scales. These studies typically measure the stiffness of the cell as the only mechanical biomarker, and cannot disentangle the rheological contribution of different structural components of the cell, including the cell cortex, the interior cytoplasm and its immersed cytoskeletal structures, and the nucleus. Recent advancements in high-speed fluorescent imaging have enabled probing the deformations of the cell cortex, while also tracking different intracellular components in rates applicable to microfluidic platforms. We present a novel method to decouple the mechanics of the cell cortex and the cytoplasm by analyzing the correlation between the cortical deformations that are induced by external microfluidic flows, and the nucleus displacements induced by those cortical deformations; i.e. we use the nucleus as a high-throughput microrheological probe to study the rheology of the cytoplasm, independent of the cell cortex mechanics. To demonstrate the applicability of this method, we consider a proof of concept model consisting of a rigid spherical nucleus centered in a spherical cell. We obtain analytical expressions for time-dependent nucleus velocity as a function of the cell deformations, when the interior cytoplasm is modeled as a viscous, viscoelastic, porous and poroelastic materials, and demonstrate how the nucleus velocity can be used to characterize the linear rheology of the cytoplasm over a wide range of forces and time-scales/frequencies.
Mapping of electromagnetic negative-phase-velocity propagation in the ergosphere of a rotating black hole

description: We report on the occurrence of negative-phase-velocity (NPV) planewave propagation in the ergosphere of a rotating black hole. By implementing the Kerr metric, it is demonstrated that regions of NPV propagation are concentrated at the equator of the ergosphere, while NPV propagation is less common towards the polar regions. Increasing the angular velocity of the black hole exaggerates the NPV concentration at the equator. NPV propagation is not observed outside the stationary limit surface.

description: The performance of a Thick-COBRA (THCOBRA) gaseous detector is studied using an optical readout technique. The operation principle of this device is described, highlighting its operation in a gas mixture of Ar/CF4 (80/20%) for visible scintillation light emission. The contributions to the total gain from the holes and the anode strips as a function of the applied bias voltage were visualized. The preservation of spatial information from the initial ionizations was demonstrated by analyzing the light emission from 5.9keV X-rays of an 55Fe source. The observed non-uniformity of the scintillation light from the holes supports the claim of a space localization accuracy better than the pitch of the holes. The acquired images were used to identify weak points and sources of instabilities in view of the development of new optimized structures.

Temporal progression of subchondral bone alterations induced by compromising meniscus integrity in mice and rats: a systematic review

description: Objective: To investigate the temporal progression of subchondral bone alterations induced by compromising meniscus integrity in mouse and rat models of knee osteoarthritis (OA).

An initial Pubmed search was performed on the 1st of December 2023, with the terms “(osteoarthritis) AND ((meniscus) OR (meniscal) OR (meniscectomy))”. The search will be updated. The search will be refined with the terms “(subchondral bone) AND (osteoarthritis) AND ((meniscus) OR (meniscal) OR (meniscectomy))”. In the detailed analysis only those studies will be included where OA was evoked by surgical or traumatic tear or injury of the meniscus, destabilization of the meniscus (DMM), or total or partial meniscectomy. To avoid any supplementary factors leading to additional instability such as anterior cruciate ligament transection, such combined methods will be excluded. Papers were also excluded if they were reviews, not in English language, full text was unavailable, did not report subchondral bone, did not report adequate controls, or OA was not induced by compromising meniscus integrity. Thus, the selection of papers will be further refined via reading their abstracts, and after reading their full text, further refined to represent all papers reporting meniscal origin related OA which used mouse or rat models eligible for a detailed evaluation for the present systematic review. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) reporting criteria will be strictly followed when obtaining the metadata.
The complex velocity distribution of galaxies in Abell 1689: implications for mass modelling

description: The Abell 1689 galaxy cluster has recently become a subject of intensive study. Thanks to its intermediate redshift (z=0.183) its mass distribution can be reconstructed using numerous methods including gravitational lensing, galaxy kinematics and X-ray imaging. The methods used to yield conflicting mass estimates in the past and recently the cluster mass distribution has been claimed to be in conflict with standard CDM scenarios due to rather large concentration and steep mass profile obtained from detailed studies of Broadhurst et al. using lensing. By studying in detail the kinematics of about 200 galaxies with measured redshifts in the vicinity of the cluster we show that the cluster is probably surrounded by a few structures, quite distant from each other, but aligned along the line of sight. We support our arguments by referring to cosmological N-body simulations and showing explicitly that distant, non-interacting haloes can produce entangled multi-peak line-of-sight velocity distributions similar to that in A1689. We conclude that it is difficult to estimate the cluster mass reliably from galaxy kinematics, but the value we obtain after applying a simple cut-off in velocity agrees roughly with the mass estimated from lensing. The complicated mass distribution around the cluster may however increase the uncertainty in the determination of the density profile shape obtained with weak lensing.
