description: Svenzea cristinae Alvarez, van Soest & Rützler, 2002
Tables 6, 7; Figs. 55A–C, 58J
 Synonymy and references: Svenzea cristinae, Alvarez et al. (2002: 173).
 Type locality. Belize.
 Material examined. CNPGG-2473 and CNPGG-2474, Alacranes reef (22.4952°N, 89.7723°W), 6 m depth, coll. Diana Ugalde, 18 May 2016.
 Description. Cushion shaped habit, cavernous (Fig. 58J); overall size, base with 5.2 × 3.3 × 2.5 cm and papillae with 1.2 cm high. Surface microhispid with irregular placed visible pores. Part of the surface as a translucent membrane in shallow depressions. Round to irregular oscules, scattered, up to 0.9 cm in diameter. It is an ochre yellow color in vivo, light beige when in ethanol. The consistency is elastic and compressible.
 Skeleton. The choanosomal skeleton with loose sinuous tracts of spicules in an irregular reticulation; round meshes, elongated to polygonal, up to 500 µm in diameter (Fig. 55A). Tracts of spicules protruding outside the surface. Debris and sand grains above the surface and in the choanosomal region (Fig. 55B).
 Spicules. Megascleres: Strongylote-shaped styles, curved to sinuous and smooth (Fig. 55C). Base with blunt tips. Apex blunt (more frequent), acerate or as a small tip; 210– 324.7 (65.3)–450/3– 4.4 (1)–7 µm.
 Distribution. Mexico (current records), Belize, and Jamaica (Alvarez et al. 2002).
 Remarks. Svenzea cristinae was originally recorded in Belize and Jamaica, and our specimens match both external and internal morphology of materials described in Alvarez et al. (2002). However, slight differences among specimens can be discerned, probably due to the different environmental conditions. For example, mangrove roots, 0.5 m deep in the type material, and the coral reef 6 m deep in our material. The type has purple or pinkish areas in its yellow background, which lack in our material. Oxeas (60–340 / 3.7–10 µm) depicted as less frequent or absent in the original description, are entirely absent in our reef specimens, which also have thinner styles than those seen in the type material (11.2 µm in Jamaica, up to 17.5 µm in Belize). Six valid species of Svenzea are reported in the TNwA, S. cristinae, and S. flava, with the same external morphology, specifically their massive encrusting shape and yellow color. However, they differ in their skeletal arrangement and details of spicule morphology and dimensions (Table 4, S. flava description below). Our specimens represent the first record of S. cristinae for the GoM.

Essays on Asset Pricing and Downside Risk
Creators: Giovannetti, Bruno Cara
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Finance

description: This dissertation contributes to the recent and diverse literature on the relation between downside risk and asset prices. In chapter one, we use a famous quote among professional investors, "focus on the downside, and the upside will take care of itself", to motivate a representative consumer-investor who only cares about the downside. The consumption-based asset pricing model that emerges from this idea explains the main existing puzzles found within the asset pricing literature. These include the equity premium and the risk-free rate puzzles, the countercyclicality of the equity premium and the procyclicality of the risk-free rate. The model is parsimonious, requiring only three preference-related parameters: the time discount factor, the elasticity of intertemporal substitution, and the downside risk aversion. When we use the model to understand the relation between returns and consumption in the US, we find that the fitted parameter values are consistent with what is expected from the micro foundations. In chapter two, we show that the model proposed in chapter one can also explain the financial puzzles in other developed countries. This is an important step in the empirical validation of the model. The estimated parameters are robust across highly capitalized countries and qualitatively close to the ones obtained for the US. Moreover, the risk measure under the quantile utility model can better justify the differences in risk premia across countries when compared to the risk measure under the expected utility model. In chapter three, we evaluate the effect of margin requirements on asset prices, an additional channel for the relation between downside risk and prices. We provide evidences of the existence of an aggregate margin-related premium in the economy. In particular, we show that (i) a margin-related factor is able to predict future excess returns of the S&P 500 and (ii) stocks with high betas on the margin-related factor pay on average higher returns compared those with low margin betas. These result are important not only to understand asset prices, but also the unconventional polices implemented by the Fed during the great recession of 2007-2010. Although data on margin requirements for the S&P 500 futures are publicly available, it is in general very hard to obtain information on margins for other assets. Given that, we also propose a nonparametric model for estimating margins as a function of the asset's value at risk. This is theoretically justifiable and has good empirical results.

description: The hyperoctahedral group is the Weyl group of type B and is associated with a two-parameter family of differential-difference operators T_i, i=1,..,N (the dimension of the underlying Euclidean space). These operators are analogous to partial derivative operators. This paper finds all the polynomials in N variables which are annihilated by the sum of the squares (T_1)^2+(T_2)^2 and by all T_i for i>2 (harmonic). They are given explicitly in terms of a novel basis of polynomials, defined by generating functions. The harmonic polynomials can be used to find wave functions for the quantum many-body spin Calogero model.

DEEP SEA BENTHIC FORAMINIFERA AS A PROXY OF METHANE HYDRATES FROM IODP SITE 890B CASCADIA MARGIN

description: Release of methane from large marine reservoirs has been linked to climate change, as a causal mechanism and a consequence of temperature changes, during the Holocene to Late Quaternary. These inferred linkages are based primary on variation in benthic foraminifer’s singnatures. This study examines and illustrates deep sea benthic foraminifera from Holocene to Late Quaternary sample from North Pacific Ocean IODP site 890B,Cascadia Margin. Deep sea benthic foraminifera has been quantatively analyzed in samples>125 μm size fractions. Factor and Cluster analysis of the 29 highest ranked species made it possible to identify six biofacies, characterizing distinct deep sea environmental setting. The environmental interpretation of each biofacies is based on the ecology of recent deep sea benthic foraminifera. The benthic faunal record indicates fluctuating deep se condition in environmental parameter including oxygenation, surface productivity and organic food supply. The benthic assemblage show a major shift at 2 to3 kyrs BP and 6 to10.5 BP marked by major turnover in the relative abundance of species coinciding with in increasing amplitude of interstadial cycles. There are strong possibilities of methane flux in this site. Dissociation of gas hydrates and release of methane to the atmosphere could be a cause of increase in the population abundance of highly reducing environmental species, which we interpreted in our data.

description: We analyse the perturbative series expansion of the vacuum expectation value of a Wilson loop in Chern-Simons gauge theory in the temporal gauge. From the analysis emerges the notion of the kernel of a Vassiliev invariant. The kernel of a Vassiliev invariant of order n is not a knot invariant, since it depends on the regular knot projection chosen, but it differs from a Vassiliev invariant by terms that vanish on knots with n singular crossings. We conjecture that Vassiliev invariants can be reconstructed from their kernels. We present the general form of the kernel of a Vassiliev invariant and we describe the reconstruction of the full primitive Vassiliev invariants at orders two, three and four. At orders two and three we recover known combinatorial expressions for these invariants. At order four we present new combinatorial expressions for the two primitive Vassiliev invariants present at this order.

description: A thorough comprehension of the rheological behavior of polymers during industrial processes is essential for optimizing manufacturing efficiency and product quality. The final properties and behavior of resulting polymer parts are known to be directly linked to the thermomechanical evolution of materials during their processing. The non-invasive monitoring of this stage could improve the quality of manufactured equipment. This can be done by tracking viscosity off-line on a rheometer. In this article, an experimental method to monitor the viscosity of polymer materials at high and varying temperatures by using ultrasound is proposed. This method allows us to measure the ultrasonic and rheological properties of a sample, simultaneously and in real-time. An ultrasonic instrumentation is adapted to a rheometer for continuous monitoring. It allows high-temperature range measurements (up to 200°C). A dedicated signal processing algorithm is developed to determine the polymer longitudinal acoustic velocity by considering wave packet overlapping and temperature variation. Results on polyethylene show that ultrasonic parameters appear to be sensitive to changes in the polymer state. It enables more accurate detection of the onset of polymer crystallization. This study paves the way for ultrasonic real-time monitoring of the rotomolding process.

It was founded in 1999 in Austin, Texas to help fulfill the need for an alternative research center where scarce funding dollars could be used more efficiently, and to provide a direct link between astronomers who study white dwarf stars and the general public. Due to its administrative simplicity, WDRC can facilitate the funding of multi-institutional and international collaborations, provide seamless grant portability, minimize overhead rates, and actively seek non-governmental funding sources. I describe the motivation for, and current status of, one of the long-term goals of WDRC: to establish a permanent endowment for the operation of the Whole Earth Telescope.

description: The Dyson Brownian motion model for transistions to the CUE is considered. For initial eigenvalue probability density functions corresponding to the COE and CSE, the density-density correlation function between an eigenvalue at position lambda' initially (tau = 0) and an eigenvalue at position lambda for general tau, is calculated. Theoretical predictions for the asymptotic behaviour are verified, and the distribution for the initial rate of change of the eigenvalues is calculated. Also, for initial conditions corresponding to equi-spaced eigenvalues, the n-point equal parameter distribution is computed. The extension of the calculation of these quantities to a multiparameter version of the theory is given.

description: The monopole systems with hidden symmetry of the two-dimensional Coulomb problem are considered. One of them, the "charge-charged magnetic vortex" with a half-spin, is constructed by reducing the quantum circular oscillator with respect to the action of the parity operator. The other two systems are constructed by reduction from the two-dimensional complex space. The first system is a particle on the sphere in the presence of the exterior constant magnetic field (generated by Dirac's monopole located in its center). This system is dual to the massless (3+1)-dimensional particle with fixed energy. The second system represents the particle on the pseudosphere in the presence of exterior magnetic field and is dual to the massive relativistic anyon.

 Type locality. Florida.
 Material examined. CNPGG-2277, Triangulos Este reef (20.9177°N, 92.2162°W), 17 m depth, coll. Oscar Bocardo, 11 September 2017.
 Description. Massive habit (Fig. 70H); the overall size is 6 × 2 × 1 cm. The surface is irregular, although entirely covered by algae and sand. Foreign detritus is also scattered inside the body. Oscules in the top of the sponge. Black color in vivo and also in ethanol. The consistency is firm but slightly compressible.
 Skeleton. Ascending tracts or bundles of spicules are radially arranged, incorporating foreign detritus (Fig. 64A).
 Spicules. Megascleres. Straight anisostrongyles to strongyles (Figs. 64B–C), 650– 1084 (284.9)–1430/6– 15.4 (7.1)–27 µm, almost all the anisostrongyles were broken. Microscleres. Megasters (Figs. 64D–E) –oxyspherasters— with regular size 30– 43 (10)–60 µm, the number and shape of rays is variable, bent, or straight. Micrasters (Figs. 64D–E)—tylasters to strongylasters– 8– 11 (3.2)–20 µm, with variable number of rays.
 Distribution. Mexico (current records), US (Florida) (Sarà & Bavestrello 1996).
 Remarks. Our specimen conforms closely to the original description of Sarà & Bavestrello (1996). The main difference is the megaster oxyspheraster size range 20–65.3–100 µm (diameter) spanning further than observed in our specimen. Other characteristics of T. macrostella that distinguish it from its congeners are the maximum thickness attained by the diameter of its megascleres (mean 38.4 µm), and the largest diameter of the micrasters (mean 15 µm), which correspond to what we have observed in the material presently studied.
 Tectitethya macrostella was originally recorded in west Florida (Sarà & Bavestrello 1996) and has not been found elsewhere. Thus, this record shows a geographic extension of T. macrostella for the SGoM, and the first record of the species after its original description. The absence of records of Tectitethya macrostella within the numerous works around the Greater Caribbean (e.g. Hajdu et al. 2011; Rützler et al. 2014; van Soest 2017) most likely suggests that the species could be endemic to the GoM.

Restricting affine Toda theory to the half-line

description: We restrict affine Toda field theory to the half-line by imposing certain boundary conditions at $x=0$. The resulting theory possesses the same spectrum of solitons and breathers as affine Toda theory on the whole line. The classical solutions describing the reflection of these particles off the boundary are obtained from those on the whole line by a kind of method of mirror images. Depending on the boundary condition chosen, the mirror must be placed either at, in front, or behind the boundary. We observe that incoming solitons are converted into outgoing antisolitons during reflection. Neumann boundary conditions allow additional solutions which are interpreted as boundary excitations (boundary breathers). For $a_n^{(1)}$ and $c_n^{(1)}$ Toda theories, on which we concentrate mostly, the boundary conditions which we study are among the integrable boundary conditions classified by Corrigan et.al. As applications of our work we study the vacuum solutions of real coupling Toda theory on the half-line and we perform semiclassical calculations which support recent conjectures for the $a_2^{(1)}$ soliton reflection matrices by Gandenberger.

description: In contrast to Hamiltonian perturbation theory which changes the time evolution, "spacelike deformations" proceed by changing the translations (momentum operators). The free Maxwell theory is only the first member of an infinite family of spacelike deformations of the complex massless Klein-Gordon quantum field into fields of higher helicity. A similar but simpler instance of spacelike deformation allows to increase the mass of scalar fields.

description: This dissertation seeks to better understand the sustainable development of aviation and infrastructure. The first essay uses an instrumental variable approach to examine aviation's impact on regional economic outcomes and innovation. Using a novel set of instruments based on the historical institutional and physical requirements for expanded air connectivity, I find that a 1% increase in a core-based statistical area's Global Connectivity Index is associated with an increase in long-term total personal income by 1.7% and 6 more granted patents. The second essay provides a new first-cut estimate of climate change impacts on aviation through increased severe thunderstorm activity. As a result of projected increases in Convective Available Potential Energy due to global warming, there is growing consensus that severe thunderstorm environments will increase in the United States. Using domestic air traffic delay data from 2004-2017 with the registered storm events database from the National Centers for Environmental Information, I find that the estimated annual cost of additional delays under a RCP4.5 scenario would be in the order of 152.4 million dollars in the spring and 298.3 million dollars in the summer. The third essay is devoted to energy infrastructure in India, where it studies the social acceptability of electricity theft using a conjoint experiment with 1800 households. Consistent with hypothesis, the income and electricity supply contexts of hypothetical offenders affect the social acceptability of electricity theft.

description: The local (v<1200kms) and the cosmic expansion field out to 30000kms-1 are characterized by Ho=58. While the random error is small (+-2), it may still be affected by systematic errors as large as 10%. The local expansion is outlined by Cepheids and by Cepheid-calibrated TF distances of a complete sample of field galaxies and by nearby groups and clusters; the cosmic expansion is defined by Cepheid-calibrated SNeIa. The main source of systematic errors are therefore the shape and the zero point of the P-L relation of Cepheids and its possible dependence on metallicity. GAIA will essentially eliminate these error sources. Another source of systematic error is due to the homogenization of SNeIa as to decline rate Delta m_15 and color (B-V). GAIA will discover about half of the 2200 SNeIa which will occur during a four-year lifetime within 10000kms. For many of them ground-based follow-up will provide useful photometric parameters (and spectra), which will allow to fix the dependence of the SNeIa luminosity on Delta m_15 and (B-V) with high accuracy. At the same time they will yield exquisite distances to an corresponding number of field galaxies. - GAIA will also revolutionize the very local distance scale by determining fundamental distances of the companion galaxies of the Milky Way and even of some spirals in- and possibly outside the Local Group from their rotation curves seen in radial velocities and proper motions. Moreover, GAIA will obtain trigonometric parallaxes of RR Lyrae stars, of red giants defining the TRGB, of stars on the ZAMS, of White Dwarf defining their cooling sequence, and of globular clusters, and determine the metallicity dependence of these distance indicators. It will thus establish a self-controlling network of distance indicators within the Local Group and beyond.

description: Liposomes, or vesicles, offer promising applications in fields including biofuel synthesis, drug delivery, and toxin removal. Programmable liposomes can be used for optimal protein synthesis and to prototype genetic technologies. However, one of the major challenges is the short lifetime of protein production. Here, we add metabolites and molecules to cell-free reactions at different times to interrogate their importance. Through this testing, we find that ATP only slightly enhances protein synthesis, and ADP can help a reaction reach steady state faster. We also note that the excess of particular molecules, such as NAD and 3PGA, can halt protein production. With this data, we developed a more accurate chemical reaction network-based model for cell-free reactions. We also begin to study an unexplained discrepancy in protein production between bulk and vesicle dynamics. To quantify protein synthesis, we use E. coli extract and energy buffer, often called cell-free transcription and translation (TXTL), with a chosen DNA template both within vesicles (encapsulated) and without (bulk). We have also been able to uncover fundamental properties of transcription/translation systems. We supplement this data with computational models utilizing chemical reaction networks. We established a vesicle setup with membrane pores and supplemental energy buffer on the outside which increased the efficiency of protein synthesis. By using chemical reaction network models, we have highlighted differences and similarities between models and experiments. With this setup, vesicles can be used for more complicated applications, such as drug delivery or genetic construct testing.

description: With the rapid expansion of cloud computing applications, optimizing resource allocation has become crucial for improving system performance and cost efficiency. This paper proposes an intelligent resource allocation algorithm that leverages deep learning (LSTM) for demand prediction and reinforcement learning (DQN) for dynamic scheduling. By accurately forecasting computing resource demands and enabling real-time adjustments, the proposed system enhances resource utilization by 32.5%, reduces average response time by 43.3%, and lowers operational costs by 26.6%. Experimental results in a production cloud environment confirm that the method significantly improves efficiency while maintaining high service quality. This study provides a scalable and effective solution for intelligent cloud resource management, offering valuable insights for future cloud optimization strategies.
Nonlocal statistical field theory of dipolar particles forming chain-like clusters

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We present a nonlocal statistical field theory of a diluted solution of dipolar particles which are capable of forming chain-like clusters in accordance with the 'head-to-tail' mechanism. As in our previous study [Yu.A. Budkov 2018 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 30 344001], we model dipolar particles as dimers comprised of oppositely charged point-like groups, separated by fluctuating distance. For the special case of the Yukawa-type distribution function of distance between the charged groups of dipolar particles we obtain an analytical expression for the electrostatic free energy of solution within the random phase approximation. We show that an increase in the association constant leads to a decrease in the absolute value of the electrostatic free energy of solution, preventing its phase separation which is in agreement with the former computer simulations and theoretical results. We obtain a non-linear integro-differential equation for the self-consistent field potential created by the fixed external charges in a solution medium, taking into account the association of dipolar particles. As a consequence of the derived self-consistent field equation, in regime of weak electrostatic interactions, we obtain an analytical expression for the electrostatic potential of the point-like test ion, surrounded by the chain-like clusters of the dipolar particles. We show that in the mean-field approximation the association does not change the bulk dielectric permittivity of the solution, but increases the solvation radius of the point-like charge, relative to the theory of non-associating dipolar particles.

description: Pilar is a city located in the third ring of the Buenos Aires metropolitan region (Argentina). Over the past 30 years, the widespread development of gated residential communities has seemingly gone hand-in-hand with an urbanisation of this outer suburb signalled by the arrival of new populations, enterprise, retail and other services. The growth of the ‘private city’ of these gated communities therefore has important implications for the ‘public city’ of the wider suburban municipality. Drawing upon original research based on the opinions of key informants, this paper considers how the growth of the ‘private city’ has contributed to the economy of, processes of community- building and social cohesion in Pilar. In conclusion, it is suggested that gated residential communities have been a major factor in the emergence of the dual suburb that is Pilar today.
On the second moment for primes in an arithmetic progression

description: Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we obtain a lower bound within a constant factor of the conjectured asymptotic result for the second moment for primes in an individual arithmetic progression in short intervals. Previous results were averaged over all progression of a given modulus. The method uses a short divisor sum approximation for the von Mangoldt function, together with some new results for binary correlations of this divisor sum approximation in arithmetic progressions.

description: The GOY model is a model for turbulence in which two conserved quantities cascade up and down a linear array of shells. When the viscosity parameter, $ν$, is small the model has a qualitative behavior which is similar to the Kolmogorov theories of turbulence. Here a static solution to the model is examined, and a linear stability analysis is performed to obtain response eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. Both the static behavior and the linear response show an inertial range with a relatively simple scaling structure. Our main results are: (i) The response frequencies cover a wide range of scales, with ratios which can be understood in terms of the frequency scaling properties of the model. (ii) Even small viscosities play a crucial role in determining the model's eigenvalue spectrum. (iii) As a parameter within the model is varied, it shows a ``phase transition'' in which there is an abrupt change in many eigenvalues from stable to unstable values. (iv) The abrupt change is determined by the model's conservation laws and symmetries. This work is thus intended to add to our knowledge of the linear response of a stiff dynamical systems and at the same time to help illuminate scaling within a class of turbulence models.

description: The fundamental approach to measuring goodwill in franchisee-operated businesses is the same for any other business models. However, the difference lies in the methodology, more particularly in the calculation of a risk premium, the identification of cash-flows, and the evaluation of the franchise system. Franchisees are common law agents and are not free agents, unlike their counterparts that operate independent businesses. They are prescriptively created, governed, and terminated by contracts that are determined and controlled by their principal. As principals, franchisors rely on franchisees to do that which they cannot do themselves with equal efficiency. In order to facilitate this arrangement, they enter detailed contracts that express their reciprocal intentions and expectations. These include such things as performance standard, revenue sharing, risk allocation, operational protocol, and intellectual property rights. In fact, franchisors insist on retaining proprietary rights to all intellectual property and instead grants to the franchisee a contractual right to use it for a limited period. During that period, franchisees have to mobilise their financial and intellectual capital to leverage the intellectual property for cash-flow generation. This process often generates valuable goodwill. Arguably, goodwill exists, where the total value of cash-flows generated from the business exceeds the opportunity cost of net tangible assets employed in the business.
