description: A new type of moving average is developed. Whereas a regular moving average (e.g. of price) has a built-in internal time scale (time-window, exponential weight, etc.), the moving average developed in this paper has the weight as the product of a polynomial by window factor. The polynomial is the square of a wavefunction obtained from an eigenproblem corresponding to other observable (e.g. execution flow I=dV/dt , the number of shares traded per unit time). This allows to obtain an immediate "switch" without lagging typical for regular moving average.

description: We investigate electrostatic stability of charged droplets, modeled as permeable, charged spheres, and their encapsidation in thin, arbitrarily charged nano-shells, immersed in a neutralizing asymmetric electrolyte background. The latter consists of a small concentration of mobile multivalent counterions in a bathing solution of monovalent (positive and negative) ions. We use extensive Monte-Carlo simulations to investigate the spatial distribution of multivalent counterions and the electrostatic component of their osmotic pressure on the bounding surface of the spherical nano-shell. The osmotic pressure can be negative (inward pressure), positive (outward pressure) or zero, depending on the system parameters such as the charge density of the droplet, the charge density of the shell, and the electrolyte screening, which thus determine the stability of the nano-container. The counter-intuitive effects of multivalent counterions comprise the increased stability of the charged droplet with larger charge density, increased stability in the case of encapsidating shell of charge density of the same sign as the charged droplet, as well as the possibility to dispense altogether with the encapsidating shell, its confining effect taken over by the multivalent counterions. These dramatic effects are in stark contrast to the conventional mean-field picture, which in particular implies that a more highly charged spherical droplet should be electrostatically less stable because of its larger (repulsive) self-energy.

description: Single-unit and multiunit recordings in primates have already established that decision making involves at least two general stages of neural processing: representation of evidence from early sensory areas and accumulation of evidence to a decision threshold from decision-related regions. However, the relay of information from early sensory to decision areas, such that the accumulation process is instigated, is not well understood. Using a cued paradigm and single-trial analysis of electroencephalography (EEG), we previously reported on temporally specific components related to perceptual decision making. Here, we use information derived from our previous EEG recordings to inform the analysis of fMRI data collected for the same behavioral task to ascertain the cortical origins of each of these EEG components. We demonstrate that a cascade of events associated with perceptual decision making takes place in a highly distributed neural network. Of particular importance is an activation in the lateral occipital complex implicating perceptual persistence as a mechanism by which object decision making in the human brain is instigated.

description: Learning and memory deficits in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) result from synaptic failure and neuronal loss, the latter caused in part by excitotoxicity and oxidative stress. A therapeutic approach is described that uses NO-chimeras directed at restoration of both synaptic function and neuroprotection. 4-Methylthiazole (MZ) derivatives were synthesized, based upon a lead neuroprotective pharmacophore acting in part by GABAA receptor potentiation. MZ derivatives were assayed for protection of primary neurons against oxygen−glucose deprivation and excitotoxicity. Selected neuroprotective derivatives were incorporated into NO-chimera prodrugs, coined nomethiazoles. To provide proof of concept for the nomethiazole drug class, selected examples were assayed for restoration of synaptic function in hippocampal slices from AD-transgenic mice, reversal of cognitive deficits, and brain bioavailability of the prodrug and its neuroprotective MZ metabolite. Taken together, the assay data suggest that these chimeric nomethiazoles may be of use in treatment of multiple components of neurodegenerative disorders, such as AD.

description: It was already experimentally demonstrated that high-energy electrons can be generated using metal nanotips as active media. In addition, it has been theoretically proven that the high-energy tail of the photoemitted electrons is intrinsically linked to the recollision phenomenon. Through this recollision process it is also possible to convert the energy gained by the laser-emitted electron in the continuum in a coherent XUV photon. It means the emission of harmonic radiation appears to be feasible, although it has not been experimentally demonstrated hitherto till now. In this paper, we employ a quantum mechanical approach to model the electron dipole moment including both the laser experimental conditions and the bulk matter properties and predict is possible to generate coherent UV and XUV radiation using metal nanotips as sources. Our quantum mechanical results are fully supported by their classical counterparts.

Tackling the youth unemployment in Europe within the context of the economic crisis

description: Second semester University: University of Ljubljana.
description: The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the impact of the crisis on the major political and economic problem in Europe, the youth unemployment, which has risen to a level unseen since the Great Depression. Nowadays, there are more than 5.462 million young people (under 25) unemployed in the EU, representing a 22.4% of the total young population. This thesis reviews the social implications of the crisis-related youth unemployment in Europe, from the opportunity costs for governments to the psychological problems for the unemployed. We will try to provide answers to some fundamental questions, e.g., what are the ‘brain drain’ effects for EU countries? Is unemployment relaxed by labour mobility? How is the ageing population affecting the pension system? In addition, a comparative study about the labour market in two European countries, Spain and Germany, will be made in order to analyse the differences between them. Main questions: what are the secrets for the low level of unemployment in Germany? Can the German model be copy-pasted in other EU countries? Moreover, we will analyse how the crisis-related unemployment has affected human rights, and study these violations according to international legal documents. Main question: what economic model is more compatible with human rights and which one promotes better the goal of full employment? At the end of the thesis, proposals to eradicate this problem will be researched, from both macro and microeconomic perspectives. In addition, we will study some important politico-economic aspects like the changing role of the state after the crisis, the deregulation of labour markets or the accountability of financial institutions. We will also adopt a critical view on Europe’s proposals to combat the crisis, from the problem of reducing wages to some other recurring mistakes, such as the lack of fiscal policy coordination, to the democratic deficit of some international financial institutions. Overall, this thesis attempts to prove that, even though European politicians have claimed that the fight against unemployment is one of the top priorities, policy concerns have in fact shifted after the crisis. Preserving price stability to avoid inflation and the implementation of austerity measures, in order to lower the public debt, seem to be the guidelines for economic recovery, while no energetic attempts to create jobs are being held. The conclusion of this thesis will be that the role of the state must be redirected towards the protection of human rights, and the politico-economic decisions must provide a consistent answer to the severe youth unemployment problem.
The General Public is Neutral on “Neurolaw”
Creators: name: Preston, Joshua
Publisher: name: Voices in Bioethics
Year: 2015

description: Over the last ten years, much has been written about the intersection of neuroscience and law and how it may lead us to re-conceptualize punishment and blame. So for all its promises and controversies, it is interesting that a new study suggests people are “generally neutral in [their] support for neuroscience-based legal reforms” (Shen & Gromet 2015 86). This support, though, is not static, and depending on the frame, wavers along partisan lines. Noting that “political science perspectives have been noticeably absent” in the “neurolaw” literature (87), the authors set out to study how different framings influence public approval. Incorporating their survey into a national omnibus poll (N = 1,010), they offered subjects one of three frames: the first characterized neurolaw as a means for enhancing punishment, the second as a means for diminishing it. (The third was a control). These first two they called prosecution and defense frames, respectively: [Prosecution] “Thinking about how prosecutors may use neuroscientific evidence to show that criminal defendants deserve lengthy prison sentences, do you disapprove or approve of legal reforms based on advances in neuroscience” (92)? [Defense] “Thinking about how defense lawyers may use neuroscientific evidence to show that criminal defendants deserve reduced sentences, do you disapprove or approve of legal reforms based on advances in neuroscience” (92)? What Shen and Gromet found is that while the general attitude toward neurolaw is neutral, “Republicans’ approval of [it] decreases when neuroscience is seen as primarily serving to reduce offender culpability, whereas Democrats’ approval is unaffected by how neurolaw is framed” (86). For scholars and activists this means “the interaction of partisanship and framing can influence approval of neurolaw, particularly with regard to the use of brain science to help defendants receive less severe punishment” (95). This study is not without its weaknesses (some of which they discuss), but most problematic for me is that the poll was conducted in May 2011 – four years ago. Since then there have been a handful of popular science books, documentaries, and focusing events (e.g. the mental health of mass shooters), each of which have likely had some effect on public opinion. My intuition is that, today, the public is less neutral than this study suggests; but if the authors are correct, still, we cannot presume this neutrality will last forever. Within a few years’ time neurolaw may be as politically polarizing as climate change or the teaching of evolution in public schools. And as with those, the framing that prevails will dictate the policies that follow. References: Shen, Francis X., and Dena M. Gromet. 2015.

description: We demonstrate a novel atom chip trapping system that allows the placement and high-resolution imaging of ultracold atoms within microns from any <100 um-thin, UHV-compatible material, while also allowing sample exchange with minimal experimental downtime. The sample is not connected to the atom chip, allowing rapid exchange without perturbing the atom chip or laser cooling apparatus. Exchange of the sample and retrapping of atoms has been performed within a week turnaround, limited only by chamber baking. Moreover, the decoupling of sample and atom chip provides the ability to independently tune the sample temperature and its position with respect to the trapped ultracold gas, which itself may remain in the focus of a high-resolution imaging system. As a first demonstration of this new system, we have confined a 700-nK cloud of 8x10^4 87Rb atoms within 100 um of a gold-mirrored 100-um-thick silicon substrate. The substrate was cooled to 35 K without use of a heat shield, while the atom chip, 120 um away, remained at room temperature. Atoms may be imaged and retrapped every 16 s, allowing rapid data collection.

description: Background-—A cohort study found that 9/11-related environmental exposures and posttraumatic stress disorder increased self-reported cardiovascular disease risk. We attempted to replicate these findings using objectively defined cardiovascular disease hospitalizations in the same cohort. Methods and Results-—Data for adult World Trade Center Health Registry enrollees residing in New York State on enrollment and no cardiovascular disease history (n=46 346) were linked to a New York State hospital discharge–reporting system. Follow-up began at Registry enrollment (2003–2004) and ended at the first cerebrovascular or heart disease (HD) hospitalization, death, or December 31, 2010, whichever was earliest. We used proportional hazards models to estimate adjusted hazard ratios (AHRs) for HD (n=1151) and cerebrovascular disease (n=284) hospitalization during 302 742 person-years of observation (mean follow-up, 6.5 years per person), accounting for other factors including age, race/ethnicity, smoking, and diabetes. An elevated risk of HD hospitalization was observed among women (AHR 1.32, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.71) but not men (AHR 1.16, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.40) with posttraumatic stress disorder at enrollment. A high overall level of World Trade Center rescue and recovery–related exposure was associated with an elevated HD hospitalization risk in men (AHR 1.82, 95% CI 1.06 to 3.13; P for trend=0.05), but findings in women were inconclusive (AHR 3.29, 95% CI 0.85 to 12.69; P for trend=0.09). Similar associations were observed specifically with coronary artery disease hospitalization. Posttraumatic stress disorder increased the cerebrovascular disease hospitalization risk in men but not in women. Conclusions-—9/11-related exposures and posttraumatic stress disorder appeared to increase the risk of subsequent hospitalization for HD and cerebrovascular disease. This is consistent with findings based on self-reported outcomes.

description: Various authors have investigated properties of the star order (introduced by M.P. Drazin in 1978) on algebras of matrices and of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. Rickart involution rings (*-rings) are a certain algebraic analogue of von Neumann algebras, which cover these particular algebras. In 1983, M.F. Janowitz proved, in particular, that, in a star-ordered Rickart *-ring, every pair of elements bounded from above has a meet and also a join. However, the latter conclusion seems to be based on some wrong assumption. We show that the conclusion is nevertheless correct, and provide equational descriptions of joins and meets for this case. We also present various general properties of the star order in Rickart *-rings, give several necessary and sufficient conditions (again, equational) for a pair of elements to have a least upper bound of a special kind, and discuss the question when a star-ordered Rickart*-ring is a lower semilattice.

Exposure and Emergence in Usage-Based Grammar: Computational Experiments in 35 Languages
Creators: name: Dunn, Jonathan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper uses computational experiments to explore the role of exposure in the emergence of construction grammars. While usage-based grammars are hypothesized to depend on a learner's exposure to actual language use, the mechanisms of such exposure have only been studied in a few constructions in isolation. This paper experiments with (i) the growth rate of the constructicon, (ii) the convergence rate of grammars exposed to independent registers, and (iii) the rate at which constructions are forgotten when they have not been recently observed. These experiments show that the lexicon grows more quickly than the grammar and that the growth rate of the grammar is not dependent on the growth rate of the lexicon. At the same time, register-specific grammars converge onto more similar constructions as the amount of exposure increases. This means that the influence of specific registers becomes less important as exposure increases. Finally, the rate at which constructions are forgotten when they have not been recently observed mirrors the growth rate of the constructicon. This paper thus presents a computational model of usage-based grammar that includes both the emergence and the unentrenchment of constructions.

description: The LCF tradition of interactive theorem proving, which was started by Milner in the 1970-ies, appears to be tied to the classic READ-EVAL-PRINT-LOOP of sequential and synchronous evaluation of prover commands. We break up this loop and retrofit the read-eval-print phases into a model of parallel and asynchronous proof processing. Thus we explain some key concepts of the Isabelle/Scala approach to prover interaction and integration, and the Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE as front-end technology. We hope to open up the scientific discussion about non-trivial interaction models for ITP systems again, and help getting other old-school proof assistants on a similar track.

description: Haptic rendering enables people to touch, perceive, and manipulate virtual objects in a virtual environment. Using six cascaded identical hollow disk electromagnets and a small permanent magnet attached to an operator's finger, this paper proposes and develops an untethered haptic interface through magnetic field control. The concentric hole inside the six cascaded electromagnets provides the workspace, where the 3D position of the permanent magnet is tracked with a Microsoft Kinect sensor. The driving currents of six cascaded electromagnets are calculated in real-time for generating the desired magnetic force. Offline data from an FEA (finite element analysis) based simulation, determines the relationship between the magnetic force, the driving currents, and the position of the permanent magnet. A set of experiments including the virtual object recognition experiment, the virtual surface identification experiment, and the user perception evaluation experiment were conducted to demonstrate the proposed system, where Microsoft HoloLens holographic glasses are used for visual rendering. The proposed magnetic haptic display leads to an untethered and non-contact interface for natural haptic rendering applications, which overcomes the constraints of mechanical linkages in tool-based traditional haptic devices.

description: Background. The World Trade Center (WTC) disaster of September 11, 2001, has been associated with early respiratory problems including asthma in workers, residents, and children. Studies on adults have documented persistence of longer term, 9/11-related respiratory symptoms. There are no comparable reports on children. Methods. We surveyed 985 children aged 5–17 years who enrolled in the WTC Health Registry in 2003–04, and who were re-surveyed in 2007–08. Health data were provided by parents in both surveys and focused on respiratory symptoms suggestive of reactive airway impairment (wheezing or the combination of cough and shortness of breath) in the preceding 12 months. At follow-up, adolescents aged 11–17 years completed separate surveys that screened for post-traumatic stress symptoms and behavior problems (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, SDQ). Associations between respiratory symptoms in the prior 12 months with 9/11 exposures and behavioral outcomes were evaluated with univariate and multivariate methods. Results. Of the 985 children, 142 (14.4%) children reported respiratory symptoms in the prior 12 months; 105 (73.9%) children with respiratory symptoms had previously been diagnosed with asthma. Among children aged 5–10 years, respiratory symptoms were significantly elevated among African-Americans (adjusted odds ratio, (aOR) 3.8; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2–11.5) and those with household income below $75,000 (aOR 1.9; CI 1.0–3.7), and was more than twice as great in children with dust cloud exposure (aOR 2.2; CI 1.2–3.9). Among adolescents aged 11–17 years, respiratory symptoms were significantly associated with household income below $75,000 (aOR 2.4; CI 1.2–4.6), and with a borderline or abnormal SDQ score (aOR 2.7, 95% CI 1.4–5.2). Symptoms were reported more than twice as often by adolescents with vs. without dust cloud exposure (24.8% vs. 11.5%) but the adjusted odds ratio was not statistically significant (aOR 1.7; CI 0.9–3.2). Conclusions. Most Registry children exposed to the 9/11 disaster in New York City reported few respiratory problems. Respiratory symptoms were associated with 9/11 exposures in younger children and with behavioral difficulties in adolescents. Our findings support the need for continued surveillance of 9/11 affected children as they reach adolescence and young adulthood, and for awareness of both physical and behavioral difficulties by treating clinicians.

description: Recent years have seen increased interest to plasmonic enhancement of nonlinear optical effects, yet there remains an uncertainty of what are the limits of this enhancement. We present a simple and physically transparent theory of plasmonic enhancement of third order nonlinear optical processes achieved in plasmonic structures and show that while huge enhancement of effective nonlinear index can be attained, the most relevant figure of merit, the of phase shift per one absorption length remains very low. This means that while on one hand nonlinear plasmonic materials are not well suitable for applications requiring high efficiency, e.g. all-optical switching and wavelength conversion, on the other hand they can be very useful for the applications where the overall high efficiency is not a must, such as sensing.

description: This work is devoted to provide a way of representing $4D$ spherically symmetric and static compact stellar configurations into a $5D$ space time, using the black string framework. We write the four and five dimensional line elements and the four and five dimensional energy momentum tensor such that the four and five dimensional quantities are related by a function $A(z)$, where $z$ represents to the extra dimension. Remarkably, one consequence of our chosen form for the line element, for the energy momentum tensor and for $A(z)$, is the fact that the $5D$ equations are reduced to the usual form of the four dimensional equations of motion. Also, the five dimensional conservation equation adopts the form of the four dimensional conservation equation. It is worth mentioning that, although our methodology is simple, this form of reduction could serve to represent other types of four dimensional objects into an extra dimension in future works. Furthermore, under our assumptions the sign of the pressure along the extra dimension is given by the trace of the four dimensional energy momentum tensor. Furthermore, our simple election for the function $A(z)$ modifies some features of the induced 4--dimensional compact stellar configuration, such as the mass--radius relation, the momentum of inertia, the central values of the thermodynamic variables, to name a few. Besides, the topology of this model is ${S}^{2}\times {S}^{1}$ and not the ${S}^{3}$ topology of the 5--dimensional structures.

description: The proliferation of connected and automated vehicles (CAV) introduces several challenges in the vehicular ecosystem. One of its significant impacts is on the automobile insurance industry, as the crash risk is expected to change with safer emerging technologies. Traditionally, vehicle insurers have been proposing data-driven models to provide bespoke premiums based on how much and safely insureds drive. Nevertheless, there exists a lack of research that incorporates the safety benefits of emerging vehicular technologies in the insurance model. This thesis contributes novel methodologies to fill this gap, linking CAV data, road safety, and risk analysis. The thesis begins with a systematic review of vehicular datasets, CAV safety effectiveness, and data-driven motor insurance products. Then, based on empirical analyses of naturalistic driving datasets, it studies the predictive power of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and the contextual environment where people drive (i.e., the driving context) from risk and driver behaviour perspectives. Different machine learning and statistical techniques are investigated, and explainable artificial intelligence is proposed for risk analysis models. Ultimately, the thesis contributes a methodology for motor insurers willing to incorporate information from ADAS, the driving context, and vehicle dynamics into their pricing models. The results quantify ADAS's safety benefits and highlight the predictive power of contextual attributes and ADAS warnings for risk assessment. Furthermore, studying the crash risks of different driving contexts allows for promoting countermeasures to mitigate the most severe road crashes. The contributions of the thesis are relevant for motor insurers and stakeholders in road safety and transportation domains studying the transition to CAV. Such contributions aim to incentivise, through fair insurance, the incorporation of vehicular technologies capable of promoting safer driving habits and reducing road crashes.

description: We characterize a new commercial, back-illuminated reach-through silicon single-photon avalanche photo diode (SPAD) SAP500 (Laser Components. Inc.), operated in Geiger-mode for purpose of photon counting. We show that for this sensor a significant interplay exists between dark counts, detection efficiency, afterpulsing, excess voltage and operating temperature, sometimes requiring a careful optimization tailored for a specific application. We find that a large flat plateau of sensitive area of about 0.5 mm in diameter, a peak quantum efficiency of 73% at 560 nm and timing precision down to 150 ps FWHM are the main distinguishing characteristics of this SPAD.

Superfluid density and two-component conductivity in hole-doped cuprates

description: While the pseudogap dominates the phase diagram of hole-doped cuprates, connecting the antiferromagnetic parent insulator at low doping to the strange metal at higher doping, its origin and relation to superconductivity remains unknown. In order to proceed, a complete understanding of how the single hole - initially localized in the Mott state - becomes mobile and ultimately evolves into a coherent quasiparticle at the end of the superconducting dome is required. In order to affect this development, we examine recent transport and spectroscopic studies of hole-doped cuprates across their phase diagram. In the process, we highlight a set of empirical correlations between the superfluid density and certain normal state properties of hole-doped cuprates that offer fresh insights into the emergence of metallicity within the CuO_2 plane and its influence on the robustness of the superconducting state. We conclude by arguing that the overall behavior is best understood in terms of two distinct current-carrying fluids, only one of which dominates the superconducting condensate and is gapped out below the pseudogap endpoint at a critical hole concentration p^\ast.

description: Theorema 2.0 stands for a re-design including a complete re-implementation of the Theorema system, which was originally designed, developed, and implemented by Bruno Buchberger and his Theorema group at RISC. In this paper, we present the first prototype of a graphical user interface (GUI) for the new system. It heavily relies on powerful interactive capabilities introduced in recent releases of the underlying Mathematica system, most importantly the possibility of having dynamic objects connected to interface elements like sliders, menus, check-boxes, radio-buttons and the like. All these features are fully integrated into the Mathematica programming environment and allow the implementation of a modern user interface.

description: In this paper we extend our previous and only study on the dynamics of the Chilean Web. This new study doubles the time period and to the best of our knowledge is the only study of its type known about any country in the Web. The new results corroborate the trends found before, in particular the exponential growth of the Web, and reinforce the conclusion that the Web is more chaotic than we would like. Hence, modeling most Web characteristics is not trivial.

description: We present the results of a deep ZYJ near-infrared survey of 13.5 square degrees in the Upper Scorpius (USco) OB association. We photometrically selected ~100 cluster member candidates with masses in the range 30-5 Jupiters, according to state-of-the-art evolutionary models. We identified 67 ZYJ candidates as bona-fide members, based on complementary photometry and astrometry. We also extracted five candidates detected with VISTA at YJ-only. One is excluded using deep optical z-band imaging, while two are likely non-members, and three remain as potential members. We conclude that the USco mass function is more likely decreasing in the planetary-mass regime (although a flat mass function cannot yet be discarded), consistent with surveys in other regions.
