Time in quantum mechanics: A fresh look at the continuity equation

description: The local conservation of a physical quantity whose distribution changes with time is mathematically described by the continuity equation. The corresponding time parameter, however, is defined with respect to an idealized classical clock. We consider what happens when this classical time is replaced by a non-relativistic quantum-mechanical description of the clock. From the clock-dependent Schrödinger equation (as analogue of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation) we derive a continuity equation, where, instead of a time-derivative, an operator occurs that depends on the flux (probability current) density of the clock. This clock-dependent continuity equation can be used to analyze the dynamics of a quantum system and to study degrees of freedom that may be used as internal clocks for an approximate description of the dynamics of the remaining degrees of freedom. As an illustration, we study a simple model for coupled electron-nuclear dynamics and interpret the nuclei as quantum clock for the electronic motion. We find that whenever the Born-Oppenheimer approximation is valid, the continuity equation shows that the nuclei are the only relevant clock for the electrons.

description: This paper proposes an architectural framework for the efficient orchestration of containers in cloud environments. It centres around resource scheduling and rescheduling policies as well as autoscaling algorithms that enable the creation of elastic virtual clusters. In this way, the proposed framework enables the sharing of a computing environment between differing client applications packaged in containers, including web services, offline analytics jobs, and backend pre-processing tasks. The devised resource management algorithms and policies will improve utilization of the available virtual resources to reduce operational cost for the provider while satisfying the resource needs of various types of applications. The proposed algorithms will take factors that are previously omitted by other solutions into consideration, including 1) the pricing models of the acquired resources, 2) and the fault-tolerability of the applications, and 3) the QoS requirements of the running applications, such as the latencies and throughputs of the web services and the deadline of the analytical and pre-processing jobs. The proposed solutions will be evaluated by developing a prototype platform based on one of the existing container orchestration platforms.

description: Pennsylvania is the sixth largest carceral system in the US and confines over 40,000 people across their prisons. From 2014 through 2016, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PADOC) experienced concurrent external pressure from the US Department of Justice Civil Rights Division and the Disability Rights Network of Pennsylvania to rethink how they punished in-prison rule-breaking and confined individuals with severe mental health diagnoses (SMHD) inside their segregation units. Following both an investigation by the US Department of Justice and a settlement agreement with Disability Rights Network, PADOC operationalized legal agreements into several policy reforms for individuals with severe mental health diagnoses. These policy reforms included: (1) using disciplinary segregation as a last resort, and when using it, reserving it for the most serious rule-breaking offenses; (2) when an individual is sentenced to segregation, placing them in a new Diversionary Treatment Unit (DTU) and changing the "look and feel" of this new unit to include more out-of-cell time, access to group therapy and increased contacts with psychology staff, and; (3) sentencing individuals to the new DTU only for 30-days and releasing individuals earlier when appropriate and as bed space allows in general population. Using both administrative misconduct data and interview data from individuals confined in the DTU and staff working in the DTU, this dissertation considers the degree to which PADOC met each of the specific disciplinary segregation policy reforms. Importantly, this dissertation considers the totality of the progress on these policy reforms and offers a broader discourse about the realities of externally mandated change, the importance of intersectionality as a lens for talking about incarcerated individuals with SMHD, and the need to reconceptualize punishment for, arguably, the most vulnerable carceral population – individuals with severe mental health diagnoses.

description: In this paper, we prove that if a multilinear operator $\mathcal{T}$ and its multilinear commutator $\mathcal{T}_{Σ\vec{b}}$ and iterated commutator $\mathcal{T}_{Π\vec{b}}$ for $\vec{b}\in(\mathbb{R}^n)^m$ are bounded on product weighted Lebesgue space, then $\mathcal{T}$, $\mathcal{T}_{Σ\vec{b}}$ and $\mathcal{T}_{Π\vec{b}}$ are also bounded on product weighted Amalgam space. As its applications, we show that multilinear Littlewood-Paley functions and multilinear Marcinkiewicz integral functions with kernels of convolution type and non-convolution type, and their multilinear commutators and iterated commutators are bounded on product weighted Amalgam space. We also consider multilinear fractional type integral operators and their commutators' behaviors on weighted amalgam space. In order to deal with the endpoint case, we introduce the amalgam-Campanato space and show that fractional integral integral operator are bounded operators from product amalgam space to amalgam-Campanato space. What should point out is that even if in the linear case, our results for fractional integral operator are also new.

description: Linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) calculations are performed for periodic (001) and (111) slabs of BaTiO$_3$ to understand the effects of surfaces on ferroelectric BaTiO$_3$. The (111) slab is found to be much less stable than the (001) slab. The average surface energies are respectively 3700 erg/cm$^2$ and 1600 erg/cm$^2$. The depolarization field is sufficiently large in the ideal unrelaxated slab to completely inhibit the ferroelectric instability. No mid-gap surface states are evident, but there are surface states in the upper gap in the unrelaxed slab and at the top of the valence band. The dangling surface Ti bonds self-heal making the Ti-O surface very reactive and an excellent epitaxial substrate. The charge density on atoms only one unit cell away from the surface are almost identical to the bulk.

cross-section dependence.

description: This paper develops a cross-sectionally augmented distributed lag (CS-DL) approach to the estimation of long-run effects in large dynamic heterogeneous panel data models with cross-sectionally dependent errors. The asymptotic distribution of the CS-DL estimator is derived under coefficient heterogeneity in the case where the time dimension (T) and the cross-section dimension (N) are both large. The CS-DL approach is compared with more standard panel data estimators that are based on autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) specifications. It is shown that unlike the ARDL type estimator, the CS-DL estimator is robust to misspecification of dynamics and error serial correlation. The theoretical results are illustrated with small sample evidence obtained by means of Monte Carlo simulations, which suggest that the performance of the CS-DL approach is often superior to the alternative panel ARDL estimates particularly when T is not too large and lies in the range of 30 _ T < 100.

description: Recently, in collaboration with Susskind, we proposed a model of Schwarzschild black holes in Matrix theory. A large Schwarzschild black hole is described by a metastable bound state of a large number of D0-branes which are held together by a background, whose structure has so far been understood only in 8 and 11 dimensions. The Hawking radiation proceeds by emission of small clusters of D0-branes. We estimate the Hawking rate in the Matrix theory model of Schwarzschild black holes and find agreement with the semiclassical rate up to an undetermined numerical coefficient of order 1.

description: Triple gauge boson couplings between Z, gamma and the W boson are determined by exploiting their impact on radiative corrections to fermion-pair production in e+e- interactions at centre-of-mass energies near the Z-pole. Recent values of observables in the electroweak part of the Standard model are used to determine the four parameters epsilon_1, epsilon_2, epsilon_3 and epsilon_b. In a second step the results on the four epsilon parameters are used to determine the couplings Delta-g^1_Z and Delta-kappa_gamma. For a wide range of scales, these indirect coupling measurements are more precise than recent direct measurements at LEP 2 and at the TEVATRON. The Standard model predictions agree well with these measurements.

description: New mothers who breastfeed continue to face challenges upon their return to the workplace. The present study aims to explore the intrapersonal experiences of women managing working full-time outside the home while breastfeeding. Using an experience sampling-type methodology I integrate my findings into a framework derived from research on self-conscious emotions (Tangney & Tracy, 2011), and self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). Participants (N=154) were surveyed weekly for 5 weeks upon their return to work post-maternity leave. Results indicated that while each of the three categories of self-discrepancy (motherhood, work and breastfeeding) significantly predicted state-guilt, only motherhood-focused self-discrepancy (SD) significantly predicted state-shame. Furthermore, whereas both shame and guilt predicted intent to quit breastfeeding, intent to quit job, and life-satisfaction, only guilt served to mediate the relationships between SDs and these outcomes. Mixed results were obtained regarding the moderating effects of intrapersonal role centrality on the relationships between SDs and shame/guilt. These findings provide insight into the nature of shame and guilt and how both emotions may operate in the context of managing working while breastfeeding.

description: A modern economy is an intricately linked web of specialized production units, each relying on the flow of inputs from their suppliers to produce their own output which, in turn, is routed towards other downstream units. In this essay, I argue that this network perpective on production linkages can offer novel insights on the sources of aggregate fluctuations. To do this, I show (i) how production networks can be mapped to a standard general equilibrium setup; (ii) how to approach input-output from this networked perspective and (iii) how theory and data on production networks can be usefully combined to shed light on comovement and aggregate fluctuations.

description: This dissertation examines the change in time that occurred at Arlington National Cemetery over acceptable commemoration and treatment of Confederate burials from 1864 to 1914. Soon after the end of the Civil War, Confederate interments at Arlington were deemed “treasonous” and unworthy of remembrance with visitors prevented from decorating rebel graves during commemoration ceremonies. Over time this treatment of Arlington’s Confederate dead transformed from animosity to reverence, complete with the erection of a thirty-two-foot tall monument to the Confederacy and the Lost Cause in the middle of a congressionally authorized Confederate burial section. Arlington, over this fifty-year period, influenced and reflected the changing nature of sectional reconciliation and national unity witnessed throughout the country. This dissertation examines why this radical change in the treatment of Arlington’s Confederate dead occurred; how the federal government and Northerners evolved from disallowing any type of Confederate recognition to honoring rebel military service; what occurred during this period to alter the perception of Arlington’s Confederate graves from an insult to the memory of the Union dead to deserving honored rest adorned with memorial statuary; and how Arlington, as the nation’s premiere national cemetery, influenced commemorative practices throughout the nation. This dissertation argues that this change was a slow transformation over time, heavily influenced by the war’s effect on changing gender roles in the South as well as fluctuating race relations throughout the nation. As the northern public became weary of continued federal involvement in the South, Southerners began advocating for recognition of their dead, focused initially on the shared experience of combat endured by both sides during the war. This continued focus on the valor of all soldiers created a common bond between the loyal and the treasonous, strengthening national reconciliation, and Arlington provided an early and important venue for an eventual unified reverence of the war dead. As the North increasingly capitulated to a southern interpretation of war memory, Arlington’s Confederate graves, once scorned as the final resting place of traitors, became celebrated as martyrs to a righteous and lost cause.
Discrimination Without Taste - How Discrimination can Spillover and Persist

description: We introduce coordination failures driven by beliefs regarding the presence of taste discriminators as a channel of discrimination in activities requiring the input of more than one individual for production to occur. We show discrimination can persist forever under perfectly observable ability, when taste for discrimination has died out, and under absence of discriminatory social norms. Empirically, we analyze the market for self-employment in the US, a market requiring input from multiple sources. Consistent with the theoretical prediction, we find beliefs about discrimination to be a significant negative correlate of self-employment rates of blacks in the US.

description: This study investigates the automated classification of Calls to Action (CTAs) within the 2021 German Instagram election campaign to advance the understanding of mobilization in social media contexts. We analyzed over 2,208 Instagram stories and 712 posts using fine-tuned BERT models and OpenAI's GPT-4 models. The fine-tuned BERT model incorporating synthetic training data achieved a macro F1 score of 0.93, demonstrating a robust classification performance. Our analysis revealed that 49.58% of Instagram posts and 10.64% of stories contained CTAs, highlighting significant differences in mobilization strategies between these content types. Additionally, we found that FDP and the Greens had the highest prevalence of CTAs in posts, whereas CDU and CSU led in story CTAs.
Realization of supersymmetric quantum mechanics in inhomogeneous Ising models

description: Supersymmetric quantum mechanics is well known to provide, together with the so-called shape invariance condition, an elegant method to solve the eigenvalue problem of some one-dimensional potentials by simple algebraic manipulations. In the present paper, this method is used in statistical physics. We consider the local critical behaviour of inhomogeneous Ising models and determine the complete set of anomalous dimensions from the spectrum of the corresponding transfer matrix in the strip geometry. For smoothly varying perturbations, the eigenvalue problem of the transfer matrix indeed takes the form of a Schrödinger equation, and the corresponding potential furthermore exhibits the shape invariance property for some known extended defects. In these cases, the complete spectrum is derived by the methods of supersymmetric quantum mechanics.

Institutions and the Preservation of Cultural Traits

Year: 2014

description: We offer a novel explanation for why some immigrant groups and minorities have persistent, distinctive cultural traits – the presence of a rigid institution. Such an institution is necessary for communities to not fully assimilate to the mainstream society. We distinguish between different types of institutions, such as churches, foreign-language media or ethnic business associations and ask what level of cultural distinction these institutions prefer. Any type of institution can have incentives to be extreme and select maximal cultural distinction from the mainstream society. If institutions choose positive cultural distinction, without being extremist, then a decrease in discrimination leads to reduced assimilation.

intraday (co-)variation risk

description: We propose a new estimator for the spot covariance matrix of a multi-dimensional continuous semimartingale log asset price process which is subject to noise and non-synchronous observations. The estimator is constructed based on a local average of block-wise parametric spectral covariance estimates. The latter originate from a local method of moments (LMM) which recently has been introduced by Bibinger et al. (2014). We extend the LMM estimator to allow for autocorrelated noise and propose a method to adaptively infer the autocorrelations from the data. We prove the consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed spot covariance estimator. Based on extensive simulations we provide empirical guidance on the optimal implementation of the estimator and apply it to high-frequency data of a cross-section of NASDAQ blue chip stocks. Employing the estimator to estimate spot covariances, correlations and betas in normal but also extreme-event periods yields novel insights into intraday covariance and correlation dynamics. We show that intraday (co-)variations (i) follow underlying periodicity patterns, (ii) reveal substantial intraday variability associated with (co-)variation risk, (iii) are strongly serially correlated, and (iv) can increase strongly and nearly instantaneously if new information arrives.

description: Reflection and refraction occur at interface between two different media. These two fundamental phenomena form the basis of fabricating various wave components. Specifically, refraction, dubbed positive refraction nowadays, appears in the opposite side of the interface normal with respect to the incidence. Negative refraction, emerging in the same side by contrast, has been observed in artificial materials1-5 following a prediction by Veslago6, which has stimulated many fascinating applications such as super-resolution imaging7. Here we report the first discovery of negative refraction of the topological surface arc states of Weyl crystals, realized for airborne sound in a novel woodpile phononic crystal. The interfaces are one-dimensional edges that separate different crystal facets. By tailoring the surface terminations of such a Weyl phononic crystal, open equifrequency contours of surface acoustic waves can be delicately designed to produce the negative refraction, to contrast the positive counterpart realized in the same sample. Strikingly different from the conventional interfacial phenomena, the unwanted reflection can be made forbidden by exploiting the open nature of the surface equifrequency contours, which is a topologically protected surface hallmark of Weyl crystals8-12.

inflationary financing

description: Sovereign debt crises may be driven by either self-fulfilling expectations of default or fundamental fiscal stress. This paper studies the mechanisms by which either conventional or unconventional monetary policy can rule out the former. Conventional monetary policy is modelled as a standard choice of inflation, while unconventional policy as outright purchases in the debt market. By intervening in the sovereign debt market, the central bank effectively swaps risky government paper for monetary liabilities only exposed to inflation risk and thus yielding a lower interest rate. We show that, provided fiscal and monetary authorities share the same objective function, there is a minimum threshold for the size of interventions at which a backstop rules out self-fulfilling default without eliminating the possibility of fundamental default under fiscal stress. Fundamental default risk does not generally undermine the credibility of a backstop, nor does it foreshadow runaway inflation, even when the central bank is held responsible for its own losses.
Redundant parallel beam multi-axis force sensor – Force calibration with traceability

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: This work has been submitted to the IEEE for possible publication. Copyright may be transferred without notice, after which this version may no longer be accessible.

Because the orthogonality of standard forces and torques cannot be guaranteed, the traceability chain of the conventional multi-axis force calibration is broken. The error sphere is proposed in this paper to define the multi axis force and torque error. The force calibration with traceability can be realized using the force error sphere. The force adjustment objective function is further proposed, which can be employed in the optimization to solve the observable variable stiffness matrix.   The force adjustment objective function includes the force magnitude objective function and the force coordinate system objective function. The force angle error and the frictional force error is the main error sources, which contribute to a large force error in the conventional calibration, which have a low impact on the magnitude of the standard force. Only the magnitude of the standard force is employed in this paper’s calibration and adjustment. Therefore, an unbroken traceability chain can be guaranteed. The simulation results show that the force observable variable stiffness matrix adjusted using this paper’s method is nearly identical to the matrix adjusted using the conventional method.

description: The theta dependence of the vacuum energy in large N Yang-Mills theory has been studied some time ago by Witten using a duality of large N gauge theories with string theory compactified on a certain space-time. We show that within the field theory context vacuum fluctuations of the topological charge give rise to the vacuum energy consistent with the string theory computation. Furthermore, we calculate 1/N suppressed corrections to the string theory result. The reconciliation of the string and field theory approaches is based on the fact that the gauge theory instantons carry zerobrane charge in the corresponding D-brane construction of Yang-Mills theory. Given the formula for the vacuum energy we study certain aspects of stability of the false vacua of the model for different realizations of the initial conditions. The vacuum structure appears to be different depending on whether N is infinite or, alternatively, large but finite.

Multi-D Kneser-Ney Smoothing Preserving the Original Marginal Distributions

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Smoothing is an essential tool in many NLP tasks, therefore numerous techniques have been developed for this purpose in the past. One of the most widely used smoothing methods are the Kneser-Ney smoothing (KNS) and its variants, including the Modified Kneser-Ney smoothing (MKNS), which are widely considered to be among the best smoothing methods available. Although when creating the original KNS the intention of the authors was to develop such a smoothing method that preserves the marginal distributions of the original model, this property was not maintained when developing the MKNS. In this article I would like to overcome this and propose such a refined version of the MKNS that preserves these marginal distributions while keeping the advantages of both previous versions. Beside its advantageous properties, this novel smoothing method is shown to achieve about the same results as the MKNS in a standard language modelling task.

description: We compute graviton scattering amplitudes in M-theory using Feynman rules for a scalar particle coupled to gravity in eleven dimensions. The processes that we consider describe the single graviton exchange and the double graviton exchange, that in M(atrix) theory correspond to the $v^4/r^7$- and $v^6/r^{14}$-term respectively. We further show that the $ v^6/r^{14}$-term appearing in M(atrix) theory at two-loops can be obtained from the covariant eleven-dimensional four-graviton amplitude. Finally, we calculate the $v^8/r^{18}$-term appearing at two-loops in M(atrix) theory. It has been previously conjectured that this term is related to a four graviton scattering amplitude involving the $R^4$-vertex of M-theory.

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird mittels einer Einzelfallstudie über die Live-Kommunikations Agentur Klubhaus untersucht, ob New Work ein Ansatz zur Überwindung des Fachkräftemangels sein kann. Die Veranstaltungsbranche leidet derzeit unter einem Fachkräftemangel. Zentrale Gründe dafür sind die Corona Pandemie und ein schlechtes Branchenimage im Hinblick auf die Arbeitsbedingungen. Folgen des Fachkräftemangels in der Veranstaltungsbranche sind eine eingeschränkte Geschäftsfähigkeit der Akteur*innen, ein Kompetenzverlust der Branche, eine sinkende Mitarbeitendenzufriedenheit, steigende Personalkosten und der Wegfall kleinteiliger Branchenstrukturen. Die Veranstaltungsbranche ist geprägt von herausfordernden, personalbezogenen Strukturen, wie einer hohen Anzahl an Soloselbstständigen und einer projektorientierten Arbeitsweise. Darüber hinaus stellen die Digitalisierung, der demografische Wandel und der gesellschaftliche Wertewandel zentrale Herausforderungen für das Personalmanagement dar. Um diesen angemessen zu begegnen, sind Strategien zur Personalbindung und -rekrutierung notwendig. Eine Strategie kann die Implementierung von New Work Merkmalen sein. Das Ziel von New Work ist, die Arbeit so zu transformieren, dass die Arbeit dem Menschen und nicht der Mensch der Arbeit dient. Die Ausübung einer sinnstiftenden Tätigkeit und eine selbstbestimmte Arbeitsweise zählen z.B. zu New Work. Innovative Bürokonzepte, Agilität und flache Hierarchien, Flexibilität sowie Personalentwicklung sind zudem moderne New Work Merkmale. Für eine erfolgreiche Implementierung und Ausübung von New Work ist der regelmäßige Austausch über die New Work Merkmale im gesamten Team elementar. Zu einer nachhaltigen Fachkräftebindung und -rekrutierung können vor allem sinnstiftende Tätigkeiten und eine selbstbestimmte Arbeitsweise beitragen. Doch auch die modernen New Work Merkmale tragen zu einer nachhaltigen Fachkräftebindung und -rekrutierung bei. Wichtig zu beachten ist, dass ein branchenweiter Wandel in Richtung New Work zur Überwindung des Fachkräftemangels notwendig ist. Die Umsetzung von New Work Merkmalen ist auch in einer unter Fachkräftemangel leidenden und zugleich wachsenden Branche möglich. Insgesamt stellt die Kombination aus New Work und einem erhöhten Gehaltsniveau den zentralen Ansatz zur Überwindung des Fachkräftemangels in der Veranstaltungsbranche dar.

In the experiment subjects are shown a network, in which their location is exogenously assigned, and they are then asked questions about the network after it disappears. We find that subjects exhibit three main cognitive biases: (i) they underestimate the mean degree compared to the actual network; (ii) they overestimate the number of rare degrees; (iii) they underestimate the number of frequent degrees. We then analyse survey data from two `real' friendship networks from a Silicon Valley firm and from a University Research Center. We find, somewhat remarkably, that individuals in these real networks also exhibit these biases. The experiments yield three further: findings: (iv) network cognition is a affected by the subject's location, (v) the accuracy of network cognition varies with the nature of the network, and (vi) network cognition has a significant effect on economic decisions.

description: We present a new technique aimed at preventing plane-wave based total energy and stress calculations from the effect of abrupt changes in basis set size. This s cheme relies on the interpolation of energy as a function of the number of plane waves, and on a scaling hypothesis that allows to perform the interpolation for a unique reference volume. From a theoretical point of view, the new method is compared to those already pr oposed in the literature, and its more rigorous derivation is emphasized. From a practical point of view, we illustrate the importance of the correction o n different materials (Si, BaTiO3, and He) corresponding to different types of b onding, and to different k-point samplings and cut-off energies. Then, we compare the different approaches for the calculation of the lattice par ameter, the bulk modulus, and its derivative versus pressure in bulk silicon.

description: The hydrodynamic coefficients in the axial current are calculated on the basis of the equilibrium quantum statistical density operator in the third order of perturbation theory in thermal vorticity tensor both for the case of massive and massless fermions. The coefficients obtained describe third-order corrections to the Chiral Vortical Effect and include the contribution from local acceleration. We show that the methods of the Wigner function and the statistical density operator lead to the same result for an axial current in describing effects associated only with vorticity when the local acceleration is zero, but differ in describing mixed effects for which both acceleration and vorticity are significant simultaneously.

Solution of the off-forward leading logarithmic evolution equation based on the Gegenbauer moments inversion

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using the conformal invariance the leading-log evolution of the off-forward structure function is reduced to the forward evolution described by the conventional DGLAP equation. The method relies on the fact that the anomalous dimensions of the Gegenbauer moments of the off-forward distribution are independent on the asymmetry, or skewedness, parameter and equal to the DGLAP ones. The integral kernels relating the forward and off-forward functions with the same Mellin and Gegenbauer moments are presented for arbitrary asymmetry value.

Gender, Social Networks And Performance

Labor Market Outcomes

description: This paper documents gender differences in social ties and develops a theory that links them to disparities in men's and women's labor market performance. Men's networks lead to better access to information, women's to higher peer pressure. Both affect effort in a model of teams, each beneficial in different environments. We find that information is particularly valuable under high uncertainty, whereas peer pressure is more valuable in the opposite case. We therefore expect men to outperform women in jobs that are characterized by high earnings uncertainty, such as the financial sector or film industry – in line with the evidence rationale.
Molding the asymmetry of localized frequency-locking waves by a generalized forcing and implications to the inner ear

description: Frequency locking to an external forcing frequency is a {well} known phenomenon. In the auditory system, it results in a localized traveling wave, the shape of which is essential for efficient discrimination between incoming frequencies. An amplitude equation approach is used to show that the shape of the localized traveling wave depends crucially on the relative strength of additive vs. parametric forcing components; the stronger the parametric forcing the more asymmetric the response profile and the sharper the traveling-wave front. The analysis captures the empirically observed regions of linear and nonlinear responses and highlights the significance of parametric forcing mechanisms in shaping the resonant response in the inner ear.

description: Traces of photospheric hydrogen are detected in at least half of all white dwarfs with helium-dominated atmospheres through the presence of H alpha in high-quality optical spectroscopy. Previous studies have noted significant discrepancies between the hydrogen abundances derived from H alpha and Ly alpha for a number of stars where ultraviolet spectroscopy is also available. We demonstrate that this discrepancy is caused by inadequate treatment of the broadening of Ly alpha by neutral helium. When fitting Hubble Space Telescope COS spectroscopy of 17 DB white dwarfs using our new line profile calculations, we find good agreement between log(H/He) measured from Ly alpha and H alpha. Larger values of log(H/He) based on Ly alpha are still found for three stars, which are among the most distant in our sample, and we show that a small amount of interstellar absorption from neutral hydrogen can account for this discrepancy.

Electricity Demand and Basic Needs: Empirical Evidence from China's Households
Creators: name: He, X.

description: An increasing block tariff (IBT) has been implemented nationwide in the residential sector in China since July 2012 as part of a process towards liberalizing electricity prices. However, knowledge about IBT design is still limited, particularly how to determine the electricity volume for the first block of an IBT scheme. Assuming the first block should be set based on some measure of electricity poverty, we attempt to model household electricity demand such that the range of basic needs can be established. We find that in Chinese households there exists a threshold for electricity consumption with respect to income, which might be considered a measure of electricity poverty, and the threshold differs between rural and urban areas. For rural (urban) families, electricity consumption at the level of 7th (5th) income decile households can be considered the threshold for basic needs or a measure of electricity poverty since household electricity demand in rural (urban) areas does not respond to income changes until after the 7th (5th) income decile. Further, for the case of China's electricity consumption, we find that if there is a saturation point, after which household energy needs would not rise further proportionately with increasing income, it is far from having been reached. Whereas the first IBT block was set at 240 kWh per household for Beijing, we estimate basic needs to be roughly 90 kWh per month for rural households and 150 kWh for urban households. The first IBT block therefore appears to have been set at a level that is too high, roughly equivalent to the average consumption of the top decile of urban residents. Over time however, given continued rapid growth, the IBT will begin to better reflect actual basic needs.
