description: Inflation expectation is an important indicator for policy makers and financial investors. To capture a more accurate real-time estimate of inflation expectation on the basis of financial markets, we propose an arbitrage-free term structure model across different countries. We first estimate inflation expectation by modeling the nominal and the inflation-indexed bond yields jointly for each country. The joint dynamic model for inflation expectation is a cross sectional state space model combined with a GeoCopula model, which accounts for the default risk and the non Gaussian dependency structure over countries. We discover that the extracted common trend for inflation expectation is an important driver for each country of interest. Moreover, the model extracts informative estimates of inflation expectations and will provide good implications for monetary policies.
Spatial decay of discretely self-similar solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations

Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: Forward self-similar and discretely self-similar weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations are known to exist globally in time for large self-similar and discretely self-similar initial data and are known to be regular outside of a space-time paraboloid. In this paper, we establish spatial decay rates for such solutions which hold in the region of regularity provided the initial data has locally sub-critical regularity away from the origin. In particular, we (1) lower the Hölder regularity of the data required to obtain an optimal decay rate for the nonlinear part of the flow compared to the existing literature, (2) establish new decay rates without logarithmic corrections for some smooth data, (3) provide new decay rates for solutions with rough data, and, as an application of our decay rates, (4) provide new upper bounds on how rapidly potentially {non-unique}, scaling invariant local energy solutions can separate away from the origin.

On the question of embedding a semigroup into an idempotent generated one

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: In this paper we present a new embedding of a semigroup into a semiband (idempotent-generated semigroup) of depth 4 (every element is the product of 4 idempotents) using a semidirect product construction. Our embedding does not assume that S is a monoid (although it assumes a weaker condition), and works also for (non-monoid) regular semigroups. In fact, this semidirect product is particularly useful for regular semigroups since we can defined another embedding for these semigroups into a smaller semiband of depth 2. We shall then compare our construction with other known embeddings, and we shall see that some properties of S are preserved by our embedding.

Majorana Neutrinos from Inverse Seesaw in Warped Extra Dimension

description: We propose the inverse seesaw mechanism as a way to understand small Majorana masses for neutrinos in warped extra dimension models with seesaw scale in the TeV range. The ultra-small lepton number violation needed in implementing inverse seesaw mechanism in 4D models is explained in this model as a consequence of lepton number breaking occurring on the Planck brane. We construct realistic models based on this idea that fit observed neutrino oscillation data for both normal and inverted mass patterns. We compute the corrections to light neutrino masses from the Kaluza-Klein modes and show that they are small in the parameter range of interest. Another feature of the model is that the absence of global parity anomaly implies the existence of at least one light sterile neutrino with sterile and active neutrino mixing in the range suggested by the LSND and MiniBooNE observations.

description: Reconfigurable reflectors have a significant potential in future telecommunication systems, and approaches to the design and realization of full and tunable reflection control are now actively studied. Reflectarrays, being the classical approach to realization of scanning reflectors, are based on the phased-array theory (the so-called generalized reflection law) and the physical optics approximation of the reflection response. To overcome the limitations of the reflectarray technology, researchers actively study inhomogeneous metasurfaces, using the theory of diffraction gratings. In order to make these devices tunable and fully realize their potential, it is necessary to unify the two approaches and study reconfigurable reflectors from a unified point of view. Here, we offer a basic tutorial on reflectarrays and reflecting metasufaces, explaining their common fundamental properties that stem from the diffraction theory. This tutorial is suitable for graduate and post-graduate students and hopefully will help to develop more deeper understanding of both phased arrays and diffraction gratings.

description: Image quality assessment (IQA) in medical imaging can be used to ensure that downstream clinical tasks can be reliably performed. Quantifying the impact of an image on the specific target tasks, also named as task amenability, is needed. A task-specific IQA has recently been proposed to learn an image-amenability-predicting controller simultaneously with a target task predictor. This allows for the trained IQA controller to measure the impact an image has on the target task performance, when this task is performed using the predictor, e.g. segmentation and classification neural networks in modern clinical applications. In this work, we propose an extension to this task-specific IQA approach, by adding a task-agnostic IQA based on auto-encoding as the target task. Analysing the intersection between low-quality images, deemed by both the task-specific and task-agnostic IQA, may help to differentiate the underpinning factors that caused the poor target task performance. For example, common imaging artefacts may not adversely affect the target task, which would lead to a low task-agnostic quality and a high task-specific quality, whilst individual cases considered clinically challenging, which can not be improved by better imaging equipment or protocols, is likely to result in a high task-agnostic quality but a low task-specific quality. We first describe a flexible reward shaping strategy which allows for the adjustment of weighting between task-agnostic and task-specific quality scoring. Furthermore, we evaluate the proposed algorithm using a clinically challenging target task of prostate tumour segmentation on multiparametric magnetic resonance (mpMR) images, from 850 patients. The proposed reward shaping strategy, with appropriately weighted task-specific and task-agnostic qualities, successfully identified samples that need re-acquisition due to defected imaging process.

The line lists we provide enable inexpensive, commercially-available uranium hollow-cathode lamps to be used for high-precision wavelength calibration of existing and future high-resolution NIR spectrographs.

description: We study the spontaneous symmetry breaking of the excitonic insulator state induced by the Coulomb interaction $U$ in the two-dimensional extended Falicov-Kimball model. Using the variational cluster approximation (VCA) and Hartree-Fock approximation (HFA), we evaluate the order parameter, single-particle excitation gap, momentum distribution functions, coherence length of excitons, and single-particle and anomalous excitation spectra, as a function of $U$ at zero temperature. We find that in the weak-to-intermediate coupling regime, the Fermi surface plays an essential role and calculated results can be understood in close correspondence with the BCS theory, whereas in the strong-coupling regime, the Fermi surface plays no role and results are consistent with the picture of BEC. Moreover, we find that HFA works well both in the weak- and strong-coupling regime, and that the difference between the results of VCA and HFA mostly appears in the intermediate-coupling regime. The reason for this is discussed from a viewpoint of the self-energy. We thereby clarify the excitonic insulator state that typifies either a BCS condensate of electron-hole pairs (weak-coupling regime) or a Bose-Einstein condensate of preformed excitons (strong-coupling regime).

description: This project originated in an earlier study commissioned by Dundee University based on narratives of managers talking about their innovations. Four main themes emerged: the innovator, their perceptions of context, the tactics they used in pursuing their innovation, and the social processes that unfolded. The intensity with which the managers identified with, and invested themselves in, their innovations gave rise to the term `personalised' managerial innovation. These four themes were drawn on in shaping the design for this current project.

description: The spin-orbit misalignment of stellar-mass black hole (sBH) binaries provide important constraints on the formation channels of merging sBHs. Here, we study the role of secular spin-orbit resonance in the evolution of a sBH binary component around a supermassive BH (SMBH) in an AGN disk. We consider the sBH's spin-precession due to the $J_2$ moment introduced by a circum-sBH disk within the warping/breaking radius of the disk. We find that the sBH's spin-orbit misalignment (obliquity) can be excited via spin-orbit resonance between the sBH binary's orbital nodal precession and the sBH spin-precession driven by a massive circum-sBH disk. Using an $α$-disk model with Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion, the resonances typically occur for sBH binaries with semi-major axis of $1$AU, and at a distance of $\sim 1000$AU around a $10^7$\msun SMBH. The spin-orbit resonances can lead to high sBH obliquities, and a broad distribution of sBH binary spin-spin misalignments. However, we note that the Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion is much higher than that of Eddington accretion, which typically results in spin precession being too low to trigger spin-orbit resonances. Thus, the secular spin-orbit resonances can be quite rare for sBHs in AGN disks.

description: The purpose of this study is to extend the current understanding of business divestiture by investigating its potential for triggering strategic reorientation. A divestiture involving strategic reorientation is here denoted as a strategic business exit, otherwise it is a status quopreserving business exit. The motives for divestiture specified in prior studies are mainly associated with firm financial performance and corporate strategy. Most studies investigate their impact on divestiture separately though both may interact. This study contributes to research by, first, distinguishing divestiture types, and, second, empirically testing the influence of performance and strategy both separately and in conjunction on the choice between strategic and status quo-preserving business exit with secondary data on 213 divestitures during 1999-2004 which were undertaken by a cross-industry sample of 91 firms listed in the German CDAX. The findings mainly indicate that firm financial performance is a stronger predictor of strategic business exit than corporate strategy.

description: We present the first application of the Cosmoglobe analysis framework by analyzing 9-year $\mathit{WMAP}$ time-ordered observations using similar machinery as BeyondPlanck utilizes for $\mathit{Planck}$ LFI. We analyze only the $\mathit Q$-band (41 GHz) data and report on the low-level analysis process from uncalibrated time-ordered data to calibrated maps. Most of the existing BeyondPlanck pipeline may be reused for $\mathit{WMAP}$ analysis with minimal changes to the existing codebase. The main modification is the implementation of the same preconditioned biconjugate gradient mapmaker used by the $\mathit{WMAP}$ team. Producing a single $\mathit{WMAP}$ $\mathit Q$1-band sample requires 22 CPU-hrs, which is slightly more than the cost of a $\mathit{Planck}$ 44 GHz sample of 17 CPU-hrs; this demonstrates that full end-to-end Bayesian processing of the $\mathit{WMAP}$ data is computationally feasible. In general, our recovered maps are very similar to the maps released by the $\mathit{WMAP}$ team, although with two notable differences. In temperature we find a $\sim2\,\mathrm{μK}$ quadrupole difference that most likely is caused by different gain modeling, while in polarization we find a distinct $2.5\,\mathrm{μK}$ signal that has been previously called poorly-measured modes by the $\mathit{WMAP}$ team. In the Cosmoglobe processing, this pattern arises from temperature-to-polarization leakage from the coupling between the CMB Solar dipole, transmission imbalance, and sidelobes. No traces of this pattern are found in either the frequency map or TOD residual map, suggesting that the current processing has succeeded in modelling these poorly measured modes within the assumed parametric model by using $\mathit{Planck}$ information to break the sky-synchronous degeneracies inherent in the $\mathit{WMAP}$ scanning strategy.

description: Inner city suburbs throughout North American cities are currently being pressured by the constantly increasing demands for expansion of the Central Business Districts. There is a growing desire by residents of these communities to retain what are essentially vital, rehabilitating, socially satisfying neighbourhoods. The objective of this Masters Degree Project was to test the hypothesis that citizens can be motivated, organized and educated to establish goals and objectives, to identify and design solutions to problems and set guidelines for the conservation and future development of such connnunities. A thirteen month study was conducted in the Rideau-Roxboro community of Calgary, Alberta, 1976/77. An overall "continuous" planning process model was designed as were processes and techniques for the animation and education of the community and a two-way connnunications system to allow for an on-going feedback component. The community was studied in detail and its objectives and concerns identified and analysed. A community plan, articulated in a Policy Report, reviewed the existing conditions and made policy recommendations for the foreseeable future. Three development proposals about to impact upon the community were analysed. Alternative solutions were formulated and specific criteria generated for evaluation of the alternatives. An adaptation of the Delphi forecasting technique proved superior to traditional rating and scaling devices as a means to include citizen input in the evaluation process. The role and responsibilities of the connnunity planner were identified and an assessment made of the effectiveness of the Rideau-Roxboro planning exercise in advancing the cause of citizen participation in community decision-making.

description: Totalization agreements coordinate the United States Social Security program with other countries’ comparable programs. We estimate each totalization agreement’s impact on a variety of bilateral trade outcomes. We find the impact is quite heterogeneous, both across agreements/countries and across sectors within a country. Moreover, we find agreements that entered into force more recently tend to increase total imports and decrease total exports by more than earlier agreements. We find no significant relationship between totalization agreements’ estimated impacts and economic indicators such as the trade complementarity index between the U.S. and the agreement countries. Finally, we find sectors where the U.S. has a larger revealed comparative advantage relative to the agreement country tend to experience a larger increase in exports following the totalization agreement. However, there is no significant relationship between revealed comparative advantage and the estimated impact on imports across sectors. In future work, we will investigate in more detail both the correlation between the heterogeneity across sectors within a country and the heterogeneity across countries, as well as the correlation between totalization agreements and the declining U.S. trade balance in the past few decades.

The Risk of High Out-of-Pocket Health Spending among Older Americans

description: Traditional Medicare imposes significant cost-sharing on beneficiaries. Most but not all beneficiaries obtain supplemental insurance through Medigap, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, or employer-sponsored retiree coverage, which may vary in how well they protect against the risk of high spending. This paper uses data from the Health and Retirement Study for the years 2002 through 2016 to document how supplemental coverage for Medicare beneficiaries 65 and older has changed over time, and to estimate the distribution of out-of-pocket spending for enrollees with different coverage types. I find that the shares of beneficiaries with employer-sponsored supplemental coverage or Medigap declined between 2002 and 2016, whereas the shares with Medicare Advantage or no supplemental coverage for doctor and hospital bills have increased. The majority of those with no supplemental coverage for doctor and hospital bills have Medicare Part D, which covers prescription drug expenses. I find that all supplemental coverage types are associated with lower observed dispersion in out-of-pocket medical care spending, measuring dispersion as the ratio of the 90th to the 50th percentile or the standard deviation. All supplemental insurance types are associated with a lower probability that out-of-pocket medical care spending exceeds 10% of household income, while all but Medicaid are associated with a significantly higher probability that total out-of-pocket health spending (that is, medical care plus health insurance premiums) exceeds this threshold. Thus, all supplemental insurance forms effectively function as insurance, translating uncertain medical costs into more predictable — although still potentially burdensome — premiums.

description: We present a combined analytical and numerical study on double-vortex spin-torque nano-oscillators and describe a mechanism that suppresses the windmill modes. The magnetization dynamics is dominated by the gyrotropic precession of the vortex in one of the ferromagnetic layers. In the other layer the vortex gyration is strongly damped. The dominating layer for the magnetization dynamics is determined by the current polarity. Measurements on Fe/Ag/Fe nano-pillars support these findings. The results open up a new perspective for building high quality-factor spin-torque oscillators operating at selectable, well-separated frequency bands.

description: Using the observations of the high-energy (HE) detector of the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) for Scorpius X-1 in 2018, we search for hard X-ray tails in the hard X-ray spectra in ~30-200 keV. The hard X-ray tails are found throughout the Z-track on the hardness-intensity diagram and they harden and fade away from the horizontal branch (HB), through the normal branch (NB), to the flaring branch (FB). Comparing the hard X-ray spectra between Cyg X-1 and Sco X-1, it is concluded that the hard X-ray spectrum of Cyg X-1 shows high-energy cutoff, implying a hot corona in it, but the high-energy cutoff does not reveal in the hard X-ray spectrum of Sco X-1. Jointly fitting the HE spectrum with the medium-energy and low-energy spectra of Sco X-1 in ~2-200 keV, it is suggested that the upscattering Comptonization of the neutron star (NS) emission photons by the energetic free-falling electrons onto the NS or by the hybrid electrons in the boundary layer between the NS and the accretion disk could be responsible for the hard X-ray tails of Sco X-1 on the HB and NB, but neither of the two mechanisms can be responsible for the hard X-ray tail on the FB. Some possible origins for the peculiar hard X-ray tail of FB are argued.

description: Devices participating in federated learning (FL) typically have heterogeneous communication, computation, and memory resources. However, in synchronous FL, all devices need to finish training by the same deadline dictated by the server. Our results show that training a smaller subset of the neural network (NN) at constrained devices, i.e., dropping neurons/filters as proposed by state of the art, is inefficient, preventing these devices to make an effective contribution to the model. This causes unfairness w.r.t the achievable accuracies of constrained devices, especially in cases with a skewed distribution of class labels across devices. We present a novel FL technique, CoCoFL, which maintains the full NN structure on all devices. To adapt to the devices' heterogeneous resources, CoCoFL freezes and quantizes selected layers, reducing communication, computation, and memory requirements, whereas other layers are still trained in full precision, enabling to reach a high accuracy. Thereby, CoCoFL efficiently utilizes the available resources on devices and allows constrained devices to make a significant contribution to the FL system, increasing fairness among participants (accuracy parity) and significantly improving the final accuracy of the model.

Superluminous Light Curves from Supernovae Exploding in a Dense Wind

description: Observations from the last decade have indicated the existence of a general class of superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), in which the peak luminosity exceeds 10^{44} erg/s. Here we focus on a subclass of these events, where the light curve is also tens of days wide, so the total radiated energy is order 10^{51} erg. If the origin of these SLSNe is a core-collapse-driven explosion of a massive star, then the mechanism which converts the explosion energy into radiation must be very efficient (much more than in typical core collapse SNe, where this efficiency is of order one percent). We examine the scenario where the radiated luminosity is due to efficient conversion of kinetic energy of the ejected stellar envelope into radiation by interaction with an optically thick, pre-existing circumstellar material (CSM), presumably the product of a steady wind from the progenitor. We base the analysis on a simple, numerically solved, hydrodynamic diffusion model, which allows us to identify the qualitative behavior of the observable light curves, and to relate them to the parameters of the wind. We specifically show that a wide and superluminous supernova requires the mass of the relevant wind material to be comparable to that of ejected material from the exploding progenitor. We find the wind parameters which explain the peak luminosity and width of the bolometric light curves of three particular SLSNe, namely, SN 2005ap, SN 2006gy, and SN 2010gx, and show that they are best fitted with a wind that extends to a radius of order 10^{15} cm. These results serve as an additional indication that at least some SLSNe are powered by interaction of the ejected material with a steady wind of similar mass.

R-matrix theory for nanoscale phonon thermal transport across devices and interfaces

description: We have adapted R-matrix theory to calculate phonon scattering across systems of molecular to mesoscopic scale. The key novelty of this work is that the only required information about the scattering region are its normal modes, which are evaluated only once for a system. Thus, R-matrix theory is a computationally efficient and simple approach to calculate phonon scattering in larger systems. To validate and to demonstrate the applicability of the theory, we apply it to two systems: a one dimensional chain of atoms and a graphene nanoribbon. In both cases, we discuss the effect of mass impurities on thermal transport.

description: In this paper, we present a novel approach to reconstruct a unique image of an observed scene with widely distributed radar sensors. The problem is posed as a constrained optimization problem in which the global image which represents the aggregate view of the sensors is a decision variable. While the problem is designed to promote a sparse solution for the global image, it is constrained such that a relationship with local images that can be reconstructed using the measurements at each sensor is respected. Two problem formulations are introduced by stipulating two different establishments of that relationship. The proposed formulations are designed according to consensus ADMM (CADMM) and sharing ADMM (SADMM), and their solutions are provided accordingly as iterative algorithms. We drive the explicit variable updates for each algorithm in addition to the recommended scheme for hybrid parallel implementation on the distributed sensors and a central processing unit. Our algorithms are validated and their performance is evaluated exploiting Civilian Vehicles Dome data-set to realize different scenarios of practical relevance. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms, especially in cases with limited measurements.

description: The large size of the ASKAP HI surveys DINGO and WALLABY necessitates automated 3D source finding. A performance difference of a few percent corresponds to a significant number of galaxies being detected or undetected. As such, the performance of the automated source finding is of paramount importance to both of these surveys. We have analysed the performance of various source finders to determine which will allow us to meet our survey goals during the DINGO and WALLABY design studies. Here we present a comparison of the performance of five different methods of automated source finding. These source finders are Duchamp, the Gamma-finder, CNHI, a 2D-1D Wavelet Reconstruction and S+C finder, a sigma clipping method. Each source finder was applied on the same three-dimensional data cubes containing (a) point sources with a Gaussian velocity profile and (b) spatially extended model-galaxies with inclinations and rotation profiles. We focus on the completeness and reliability of each algorithm when comparing the performance of the different source finders.

description: Testing video games is an increasingly difficult task as traditional methods fail to scale with growing software systems. Manual testing is a very labor-intensive process, and therefore quickly becomes cost prohibitive. Using scripts for automated testing is affordable, however scripts are ineffective in non-deterministic environments, and knowing when to run each test is another problem altogether. The modern game's complexity, scope, and player expectations are rapidly increasing where quality control is a big portion of the production cost and delivery risk. Reducing this risk and making production happen is a big challenge for the industry currently. To keep production costs realistic up-to and after release, we are focusing on preventive quality assurance tactics alongside testing and data analysis automation. We present SUPERNOVA (Selection of tests and Universal defect Prevention in External Repositories for Novel Objective Verification of software Anomalies), a system responsible for test selection and defect prevention while also functioning as an automation hub. By integrating data analysis functionality with machine and deep learning capability, SUPERNOVA assists quality assurance testers in finding bugs and developers in reducing defects, which improves stability during the production cycle and keeps testing costs under control. The direct impact of this has been observed to be a reduction in 55% or more testing hours for an undisclosed sports game title that has shipped, which was using these test selection optimizations. Furthermore, using risk scores generated by a semi-supervised machine learning model, we are able to detect with 71% precision and 77% recall the probability of a change-list being bug inducing, and provide a detailed breakdown of this inference to developers. These efforts improve workflow and reduce testing hours required on game titles in development.
