description: Applying the linearized Usadel equations, we consider the nucleation of superconductivity in multiply connected mesoscopic superconductor/ferromagnet (S/F) hybrids such as a thin superconducting ring on a ferromagnet with a uniform in-plane magnetization M and a spin-active S/F interface. We demonstrate that the exchange field in F provokes a switching between superconducting states with different vorticities which may increase the critical temperature ( Tc ) of the superconductor in a magnetic field. We study the interplay between oscillations in Tc due to the Little--Parks effect and oscillations in Tc induced by the exchange field. Furthermore, we analyse the influence of long-range spin-triplet correlations on the switching between different vorticities.

description: In the hadronic decays of Z, gluon emission leads to the appearance of the longitudinal component of the fragmentation function, F_L. Measurement of F_L and the transverse component, F_T, could thus provide an insight into the gluon fragmentation function. However, hadronization corrections at low x can be significant. Here we present a method of accounting for such corrections, using the JETSET event generator as illustration.

description: We calculate the thermal diffusion constant $D_T$ and butterfly velocity $v_B$ in neutral magnetized plasma using holographic magnetic brane background. We find the thermal diffusion constant satisfies Blake's bound. The constant in the bound $D_T2πT/v_B^2$ is a decreasing function of magnetic field. It approaches one half in the large magnetic field limit. We also find the existence of a special point defined by Lyapunov exponent and butterfly velocity on which pole-skipping phenomenon occurs.

description: Israel’s imposition of military security measures in the Palestinian territories as a consequence of the long-lasting violent conflict yields depressing economic effects to all parties involved. One crucial implication is the limited ability to carry out trade which brings about welfare losses. This paper assesses the consequences of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on price dynamics of agricultural trade between Israel and the West Bank by analyzing daily wholesale prices subject to movement restrictions. An exogenous regime switching cointegration model is estimated using a novel extension of the Johansen estimation method. We find Hebron and Tel Aviv wholesale markets to be integrated for the main trading products. Deviations from price equilibrium are quickly adjusted for. The model suggests that the movement restrictions temporarily cut off both markets from each other. Welfare implications of the closures depend on the direction of trade, harming both Palestinian and Israeli consumers.

title: A class of two-dimensional strong Markov processes and a continuous-time principal-agent problem with costly renegotiation
Creators: name: Guo, Yang
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2020

description: In the first part of this thesis, we study a continuous-time principal-agent model without precommitment. The agent runs an economic project on behalf of the principal. To this end, the agents apply effort that is costly to them and unobservable by the principal. In return, the agent receives compensation from the principal. The agent is strictly risk-averse and their objective is to maximize their expected utility of compensation minus their expected disutility of effort. The principal is riskneutral and their objective is to maximize their expected utility of income generated by the project minus the compensation paid to the agent. The optimal contract should maximize the principal's expected utility subject to the constraint that it should induce a contractual environment in which it is optimal for the agent to always be truthful. To exclude the requirement of precommitment, the contract allows for costly renegotiation. The optimal contract is fully determined by deriving the explicit solution to a suitable control problem that combines regular stochastic control with singular stochastic control. In the second part of this thesis, we present a study of two-dimensional strong Markov processes whose second component is the running maximum of the first one. The study of such processes has been motivated by recent development in financial mathematics, such as the introduction and the analysis of the π and the watermark options. We first introduce a suitable concept of regularity that generalises the standard regularity assumption of the theory of one-dimensional diffusions/strong Markov process to the two-dimensional setting that we study. Next, we characterise the class of scale functions, namely, the functions that yield local martingales when composed with a Markov process in the family we study. We then show that such a process in natural scale can be represented as a time-changed Brownian motion and its running maximum. Finally, we present a study of associated r-invariant functions. Our analysis makes heavy use of the standard theory of one-dimensional diffusions. The main difficulties arise from the behaviour of the processes on the diagonal where their two components coincide.

description: This analysis uses measures of Compensating Variation (CV) and Net Benefit Ratios (NBR) to assess the short-run effects of higher prices on different income groups in rural and urban areas of Malawi. Compensating Variation analysis indicates that urban households, particularly the poorest are the most severely affected both in the aggregate consumption and also in terms of food consumption. In rural areas, relatively better off households are more negatively affected by overall price increases, but the poorest are the group that suffers the most with food price shocks. A fifty percent supply response of agricultural production would result in significant positive effects on rural household welfare. A significantly larger response would be required in maize production to yield significant benefits among households. Results are translated into tangible policy and programmatic recommendations to inform the design of interventions aimed at mitigating those effects and promoting economic growth and poverty reduction. This analysis suggest that policies should be oriented towards facilitating a supply response by households resulting in a significant increase in maize, other staple food and non-food production, supporting household livelihoods diversification, while putting in place programs to assist the most vulnerable groups.
CPT, T, and Lorentz Violation in Neutral-Meson Oscillations

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Tests of CPT and Lorentz symmetry using neutral-meson oscillations are studied within a formalism that allows for indirect CPT and T violation of arbitrary size and is independent of phase conventions. The analysis is particularly appropriate for studies of CPT and T violation in oscillations of the heavy neutral mesons D, B_d, and B_s. The general Lorentz- and CPT-breaking standard-model extension is used to derive an expression for the parameter for CPT violation. It varies in a prescribed way with the magnitude and orientation of the meson momentum and consequently also with sidereal time. Decay probabilities are presented for both uncorrelated and correlated mesons, and some implications for experiments are discussed.

description: Jupiter's internal flow structure is still not fully known, but can be now better constrained due to Juno's high-precision measurements. The recently published gravity and magnetic field measurements have led to new information regarding the planet and its internal flows, and future magnetic measurements will allow taking another step in resolving this puzzle. In this study, we propose a new method to better constrain Jupiter's internal flow field using the Juno gravity measurements combined with the expected measurements of magnetic secular variation. Based on a combination of hydrodynamical and magnetic field considerations we show that an optimized vertical profile of the zonal flows that fits both measurements can be obtained. Incorporating the magnetic field effects on the flow better constraints the flow decay profile. This will allow getting closer to answering the long-lived question regarding the depth and nature of the flows on Jupiter.

description: We present a complete calculation of the singly and doubly charged gauge bosons (bileptons) contribution to the static properties of the W boson in the framework of the minimal 331 model, which accommodates the bileptons in an SU_L(2) doublet. A nonlinear R_ξgauge is used and a slightly modified version of the Passarino-Veltman reduction scheme is employed as in this case the Gram determinant vanishes. It is found that the bilepton contribution is of the same order of magnitude as those arising from other weakly coupled renormalizable theories, like the two-Higgs doublet model and supersymmetry. The heavy mass limit is explored and the nontrivial decoupling properties of bileptons are discussed. Although there is a close resemblance with the contribution of an SU_L(2) fermion doublet, in the case of the bilepton doublet the decoupling theorem does remain valid. As a by-product, we present a detailed study of the trilinear and the quartic vertices involving the bileptons and the standard model gauge bosons.

description: Visual relationship detection is an intermediate image understanding task that detects two objects and classifies a predicate that explains the relationship between two objects in an image. The three components are linguistically and visually correlated (e.g. "wear" is related to "person" and "shirt", while "laptop" is related to "table" and "on") thus, the solution space is huge because there are many possible cases between them. Language and visual modules are exploited and a sophisticated spatial vector is proposed. The models in this work outperformed the state of arts without costly linguistic knowledge distillation from a large text corpus and building complex loss functions. All experiments were only evaluated on Visual Relationship Detection and Visual Genome dataset.

description: People with premanifest Huntington's disease (Pre-HD) experience sleep problems, which are associated with poorer mood. This thesis research examined sleep quality and daily activity patterns in people with Pre-HD and whether they impact thinking and disease progression. Over two weeks, adults with Pre-HD monitored their sleep-wake habits, completed questionnaires relating to mood and sleep and performed thinking and memory tests. Results from this research have improved our understanding of sleep and daily activity patterns in Pre-HD and their impact on thinking. This research has implications for screening and treating sleep disturbances in Pre-HD and provides important directions for future research.

description: We study Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) terms of 5-dimensional supersymmetric $U(1)$ gauge theory compactified on $S^1/Z_2$. In this model, loop diagrams including matter hypermultiplets and brane chiral multiplets induce FI-terms localized at the fixed points. Localized FI-terms lead instabilities of bulk modes. The form of the induced FI-terms strictly depends on wave function profiles of matter multiplets. It is a non-trivial question whether the vacuum of 1-loop corrected potential is stable under radiative corrections. We investigate this issue and it is found that the stable configuration is obtained when the bulk zero modes shield the brane charge completely.

description: Leafroll disease is one of the most important virus diseases of grapevines worldwide. It reduces yields, delays fruit ripening, reduces soluble solids and increases titratable acidity in fruit juice. This study uses a Net Present Value (NPV) approach over a 25-year lifespan of a vineyard to examine the economic impact of grapevine leafroll disease (GLD) on Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet franc in Finger Lakes vineyards of New York. It identifies optimal disease control options under several scenarios of disease prevalence, yield reduction, and fruit quality effects. The estimated economic impact of GLD ranges from about $25,000 (for a 30% yield reduction and no grape quality penalty) to $40,000 (for a 50% yield reduction and a 10% penalty for poor fruit quality) per hectare in the absence of any control measure. The per-hectare impact of GLD can be substantially reduced to $3,000-$23,000 through roguing if levels of disease prevalence are moderate (1% to 25%). With disease prevalence levels higher than 25%, replacing the entire vineyard is the optimal response, yielding economic losses of about $25,000 per hectare. Furthermore, the use of vines derived from certified, virus-tested stocks in replant sites is predicted to keep the costs associated with GLD infection to about $1,800 per hectare. Also, ‘no intervention’ appears to be the best management strategy when (1) infection levels are high (>25%), yield reduction is moderate (<30%) and no price penalty is enforced, or (2) GLD is transmitted through vectors after year 19. These findings are valuable to construct integrated decision matrices for vineyard managers to devise profit-maximizing disease control strategies and to create incentives for extended uses of clean, virus-tested planting material.

description: Past studies highlight harmful effects of using pesticides and untreated wastewater on farmers’ health in agriculture. However, none of the studies explore these sources to determine the magnitude of deleterious health effects simultaneously. Vegetable growers in peri-urban areas of developing countries are facing severe problems of acute symptoms, not only because of intensive use of hazardous pesticides but also due to irrigation with untreated wastewater. The objective of this article is to quantify pesticide and untreated wastewater induced health symptoms among vegetable growers. A sample of 830 vegetable growers was selected by stratified random sampling from three major vegetable growing districts of Pakistan’s Punjab. A two stage estimation technique was employed to estimate unbiased health effects of vegetable growers after controlling for the endogeneity of pesticide use. The results demonstrate that both untreated wastewater and pesticide quantities are responsible for acute symptoms but comparison of their coefficients indicates that one litre of pesticide quantity is causing 3 times more symptoms than one hour of untreated wastewater use. Therefore, in order to minimize these negative health effects, the policy makers in under developing countries need to focus more on the reduction of hazardous pesticide use than untreated wastewater. Although, untreated wastewater is also significantly responsible of acute symptoms and therefore, it should not be ignored.

description: The over expression of melanogenic enzymes like tyrosinase caused many hyperpigmentaion disorders. The present work describes the synthesis of hydroxy substituted 2-[(4-acetylphenyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl derivatives 3a–e and 5a–e as antimelanogenic agents. The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of synthesized derivatives 3a–e and 5a–e was determined and it was found that derivative 5c possesses excellent activity with IC50 = 0.0089 µM compared to standard kojic acid (IC50 = 16.69 µM). The presence of hydroxyl groups at the ortho and the para position of cinnamic acid phenyl ring in compound 5c plays a vital role in tyrosinase inhibitory activity. The compound 5d also exhibited good activity (IC50 = 8.26 µM) compared to standard kojic acid. The enzyme inhibitory kinetics results showed that compound 5c is a competitive inhibitor while 5d is a mixed-type inhibitor. The mode of binding for compounds 5c and 5d with tyrosinase enzyme was also assessed and it was found that both derivatives irreversibly bind with target enzyme. The molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulation studies were also performed to find the position of attachment of synthesized compounds at tyrosinase enzyme (PDB ID 2Y9X). The results showed that all of the synthesized compounds bind well with the active binding sites and most potent derivative 5c formed stable complex with target protein. The cytotoxicity results showed that compound 5c is safe at a dose of 12 µg/mL against murine melanoma (B16F10) cells. The same dose of 5c was selected to determine antimelanogenic activity; the results showed that it produced antimelenogenic effects in murine melanoma (B16F10) cells. Based on our investigations, it was proposed that compound 5c may serve as a lead structure to design more potent antimelanogenic agents.

description: We examine the impact of the end of the coffee export quota system (EQS) on internationalto- retail price transmission in France, Germany and the United States, taking into account the existence of long-run threshold effects and short-run price transmission asymmetries (PTAs). We find evidence of threshold effects in both periods (EQS and post-EQS) in the three countries and the presence of short-run PTAs during the post-EQS period in the three countries, but not during the EQS period. Our results indicate that the threshold values become smaller and the long-run speed of adjustment decreases during the post-EQS period in the three countries. In the short-run, retail prices in the three countries are more responsive to positive than to negative changes in international prices during the post-EQS period, providing evidence of short-run PTAs. However, changes in international prices are passed on to retail prices to a greater extent in the United States than in the two European countries. Nonlinear impulse response analyses indicate that a shock in international prices tends to persist more during the EQS period than in the post-EQS period. This suggests that price transmission increased in the post-EQS period, regardless of the direction of the change in international prices. Our results suggest that accounting for thresholds and asymmetries improves the accuracy of impact assessments of policy changes on price transmission processes.

description: In order to achieve a high quality, i. e. monoergetic, intense ion beam, we propose the use of a double layer target. The first layer, at the target front, consists of high-Z atoms, while the second (rear) layer is a thin coating of low-Z atoms. The high quality proton beams from the double layer target, irradiated by an ultra-intense laser pulse, are demonstrated with three dimensional Particle-in-Cell simulations.

description: Increasing dampinglike spin-orbit torque (SOT) is both of fundamental importance for enabling new research into spintronics phenomena and also technologically urgent for advancing low-power spin-torque memory, logic, and oscillator devices. Here, we demonstrate that enhancing interfacial scattering by inserting ultra-thin layers within a spin Hall metals with intrinsic or side-jump mechanisms can significantly enhance the spin Hall ratio. The dampinglike SOT was enhanced by a factor of 2 via sub-monolayer Hf insertion, as evidenced by both harmonic response measurements and current-induced switching of in-plane magnetized magnetic memory devices with the record low critical switching current of ~73 uA (switching current density of 3.6x10^6 A/cm^2). This work demonstrates a very effective strategy for maximizing dampinglike SOT for low-power spin-torque devices.

description: On-and off-farm employment offamily farm members has been a permanent phenomenum in U.S. agriculture. In this paper, a family-farm model is extended to include both on-and off-farm labor supply decisions for farm-households in the U.S. com sector. A unique empirical measure of economic welfare is developed to analyze the effects of government price support programs. Traditional welfare analysis of farm programs ignores on-and off-farm employment decisions by focusing only on 'producer surplus' at the aggregate sector level. We determine that the appropriate measure of welfare for the farm-household includes the 'laborer's surplus'. Theoretical results are derived to show that conventional analysis overstates the benefits of farm price supports because of the tradeoff between producer and laborer's surpluses. Empirical simulations indicate that the laborer's surplus is a significant share oftotal farm-household welfare, especially for smaller farm sizes that comprise the majority of com farmers in the United States. Results also show that the government programs may have been misdirected if the goal has been to improve the farm income situation because the few large farms gain much more in aggregate than smaller farms.

The targum (1956:Nov. 1 - 1956:Nov. 30)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1956

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

Shape versus Volume: Making Large Flat Extra Dimensions Invisible

description: Much recent attention has focused on theories with large extra compactified dimensions. However, while the phenomenological implications of the volume moduli associated with such compactifications are well understood, relatively little attention has been devoted to the shape moduli. In this paper, we show that the shape moduli have a dramatic effect on the corresponding Kaluza-Klein spectra: they change the mass gap, induce level crossings, and can even be used to interpolate between theories with different numbers of compactified dimensions. Furthermore, we show that in certain cases it is possible to maintain the ratio between the higher-dimensional and four-dimensional Planck scales while simultaneously increasing the Kaluza-Klein graviton mass gap by an arbitrarily large factor. This mechanism can therefore be used to alleviate (or perhaps even eliminate) many of the experimental bounds on theories with large extra spacetime dimensions.

description: Since the mid 1980s Latin American and Caribbean countries have unilaterally liberalized their economies and have started a new wave of economic integration that led to the establishment of 25 trade agreements between 1990 and 1994. The Group of Three (G-3) Free Trade Agreement, comprising Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela, provided for the liberalization of around 62 percent of exportables from Colombia and Venezuela and 16 percent of those from Mexico_ This paper provides a qualitative assessment of the potential impact of the G-3 on member countries' agricultural trade. Its major conclusion is that the agreement is unlikely to produce important changes either in the structure of member countries' agricultural trade or in bilateral trade flows. This is due to a set of factors among which are the relatively limited number of products included in the agreement and their lack of importance within member countries' trade, the modest size of pre-agreement trade, and the size of the markets involved. The structure of the paper is as follows. First, the most important recent developments in G-3 member countries' agricultural policies are described. Then, the general characteristics of the agreement are presented, giving special emphasis to the agricultural provisions. Finally, a qualitative assessment of the latter is done through their hypothetical application to the current structure of agricultural trade among member countries. Data on G3 agricultural trade are presented in appendix 2.

description: The objective of the paper is to make an exploratory assessment of the impact of the G-3 free trade agreement on member countries' agricultural trade. To fulfill this objective, empirical estimates of changes in the structure of agricultural trade for four products traded between partner countries are obtained by means of a static, single-commodity, partial equilibrium trade model. Estimated variables refer to the volume of trade flows and their corresponding market shares and to economic welfare effects on producers, consumers, and tax payers. Simulations are generated for the current provisions of the agreement and for an hypothetical tariff elimination applying to the products selected for the analysis. The results of the research indicate that the current status of the agricultural provisions of the G-3 make the agreement unlikely to have a important impact on member countries agricultural trade. Furthermore, they show that even if complete tariff elimination were achieved, the potential of the agreement to produce substantial changes in member countries agricultural trade and to bring meaningful economic welfare effects is rather limited. The apparent reason for this outcome is the low level of agricultural trade that exists among partner countries in the preagreement period. Unilateral tariff reductions accomplished in each of the member countries prior to the establishment of the agreement also playa role in determining this result.

description: Cucurbit[n]urils are rigid cage-molecules of pumpkin-like shape, made of n-glycoluril units, able to bind mainly neutral molecules and cations. In this work, we investigate the binding of three cucurbit[5]uril derivatives with dioxygen O2 and show that one of them, namely per-hydroxylated cucurbit[5]uril, (OH)10CB[5], is able to significantly bind dioxygen gas at physiological temperature, even in the presence of sodium chloride at the concentration of injectable solution in blood. As cucurbit[n]urils studied up to now reveal low toxicity, per-hydroxylated cucurbit[5]uril appears as a promising precursor to design a host able to transport O2 in a haemoglobin substitute solution.
