description: The quantitative study of traffic dynamics is crucial to ensure the efficiency of urban transportation networks. The current work investigates the spatial properties of congestion, that is, we aim to characterize the city areas where traffic bottlenecks occur. The analysis of a large amount of real road networks in previous works showed that congestion points experience spatial abrupt transitions, namely they shift away from the city center as larger urban areas are incorporated. The fundamental ingredient behind this effect is the entanglement of central and arterial roads, embedded in separated geographical regions. In this paper we extend the analysis of the conditions yielding abrupt transitions of congestion location. First, we look into the more realistic situation in which arterial and central roads, rather than lying on sharply separated regions, present spatial overlap. It results that this affects the position of bottlenecks and introduces new possible congestion areas. Secondly, we pay particular attention to the role played by the edge distribution, proving that it allows to smooth the transitions profile, and so to control the congestion displacement. Finally, we show that the aforementioned phenomenology may be recovered also as a consequence of a discontinuity in the nodes density, in a domain with uniform connectivity. Our results provide useful insights for the design and optimization of urban road networks, and the management of the daily traffic.

description: During the process of structure formation in the universe matter is converted into radiation through a variety of processes such as light from stars, infrared radiation from cosmic dust and gravitational waves from binary black holes/neutron stars and supernova explosions. The production of this astrophysical radiation background (ARB) could affect the expansion rate of the universe and the growth of perturbations. Here, we aim at understanding to which level one can constraint the ARB using future cosmological observations. We model the energy transfer from matter to radiation through an effective interaction between matter and astrophysical radiation. Using future supernova data from LSST and growth-rate data from Euclid we find that the ARB density parameter is constrained, at the 95% confidence level, to be $Ω_{ar_0}<0.008$. Estimates of the energy density produced by well-known astrophysical processes give roughly $Ω_{ar_0}\sim 10^{-5}$. Therefore, we conclude that cosmological observations will only be able to constrain exotic or not-well understood sources of radiation.

Current scan methods to predict radiated emissions of automotive components according to CISPR 25

description: High density of electrical modules and electronic control units are, nowadays, extensively integrated into modern automotive systems. Estimate and further control the electromagnetic emissions from these components tend to be increasingly indispensable before marketing them. Full-compliance Absorber Lined Shielded Enclosure (ALSE) method or so-called antenna method according to CISPR 25, gives a standardized test configuration to estimate the radiated emissions on component level. However, this emission test method often suffers from the need of a large anechoic chamber, where often only the integrated impact of common-mode current on the test cable bundle is measured. Availability of a specific-size anechoic chamber and repeated experimental runs after a test failure increase the cost for the development of a new product. Since the common-mode current can be measured quite easily, it is promising to estimate the level of radiated emissions directly from the measured current. This thesis aims to develop a common-mode current based method to predict the radiated emissions according to CISPR 25 and discuss its applicability based on several complex test cases. Different problems linked to this approach have to be solved. Firstly, appropriate common-mode current acquisition methods are required. Secondly, a flexible common-mode radiation model of the cable bundle is required. Thirdly, in order to get comparable data the real ALSE-test environment has to be taken into account. For the mentioned problems, different solutions are developed and discussed. The proposed solutions are applied to several cable structures and a real stepper-motor drive system. Capabilities and limitations are shown and discussed.

description: Exceptional points (EPs), at which both eigenvalues and eigenvectors coalesce, are ubiquitous and unique features of non-Hermitian systems. Second-order EPs are by far the most studied due to their abundance, requiring only the tuning of two real parameters, which is less than the three parameters needed to generically find ordinary Hermitian eigenvalue degeneracies. Higher-order EPs generically require more fine-tuning, and are thus assumed to play a much less prominent role. Here, however, we illuminate how physically relevant symmetries make higher-order EPs dramatically more abundant and conceptually richer. More saliently, third-order EPs generically require only two real tuning parameters in the presence of either a parity-time (PT) symmetry or a generalized chiral symmetry. Remarkably, we find that these different symmetries yield topologically distinct types of EPs. We illustrate our findings in simple models, and show how third-order EPs with a generic $\sim k^{1/3}$ dispersion are protected by PT symmetry, while third-order EPs with a $\sim k^{1/2}$ dispersion are protected by the chiral symmetry emerging in non-Hermitian Lieb lattice models. More generally, we identify stable, weak, and fragile aspects of symmetry-protected higher-order EPs, and tease out their concomitant phenomenology.

On modeling financial risk with tail copulas

description: This thesis is a cumulative one, comprising three peer-reviewed and published papers. The first article studies, for the first time in the literature, the dependence of extreme events in energy markets. It is shown that adopting general copula inference techniques (applying a goodness-of-fit test for copulas to the whole support of the bivariate distribution) can be very misleading for modeling the joint tail behavior. Moreover, the advantage of tail copulas over the single tail dependence coefficients is emphasized. The objective of the second article is the modeling of stochastic tail dependence in energy and commodity markets. The essential part is the application of a newly introduced partial derivatives multiplier bootstrap goodness-of-fit test for tail copulas. The findings are then compared to a traditional copula fit. Finally, the article provides a comprehensive backtesting framework for the risk measures Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall. As suspected, the best tail copula model slightly outperforms the traditional copula fit. The third article develops asymptotic tests for detecting structural breaks in the tail dependence of multivariate time series. In particular, to obtain asymptotic properties, a new limit result for the sequential empirical tail copula process is derived. Moreover, an elaborated simulation study investigates the finite sample properties of the proposed testing procedures. In the observed behavior, the tests are slightly conservative combined with reasonable power properties. The study further reveals that the asymptotic behavior of the estimator based on time series residuals is the same as the one based on independent and identically distributed observations.

description: Starting from a general many-body fermionic Hamiltonian, we derive the equations of motion (EOM) for nucleonic propagators in a superfluid system. The resulting EOM is of the Dyson type formulated in the basis of Bogoliubov's quasiparticles. As the leading contributions to the dynamical kernel of this EOM in strongly-coupled regimes contain phonon degrees of freedom in various channels, an efficient method of calculating phonon's characteristics is required to successfully model these kernels. The traditional quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) solvers are typically used for this purpose in nuclear structure calculations, however, they become very prohibitive in non-spherical geometries. In this work, by linking the notion of the quasiparticle-phonon vertex to the variation of the Bogoliubov's Hamiltonian, we show that the recently developed finite-amplitude method (FAM) can be efficiently employed to compute the vertices within the FAM-QRPA. To illustrate the validity of the method, calculations based on the relativistic density-dependent point-coupling Lagrangian are performed for the single-nucleon states in heavy and medium-mass nuclei with axial deformations. The cases of $^{38}$Si and $^{250}$Cf are presented and discussed.

description: This article shows the problem of duality inserted in the Cartesian plane, together with the need to overcome this principle within the sciences and human knowledge in general. In this order of ideas, a relational analysis is presented between Western and Eastern philosophy, mathematics and some elements of physics that allow us to propose new ways of making the Cartesian plane evolve as an essential tool for the development of new theories within the basic, social and human sciences. The concept of infinity is the central element of this analysis that allows us to understand the relationship that exists between the internal world and the external world to which science dedicates its efforts daily within the nations that produce scientific, philosophical, and artistic knowledge. Presenting science and philosophy as an integral element is essential for the development of new dynamics that allow the emergence of complexity as the central element that can reconcile the phenomenal world of the cognitive with the world of life, for the sake of the survival of humans and the benefit of nature at all levels.

description: In the context of scalar quantum field theory we introduce a class of generically nonlinear quantum-background splits for which the splitting Ward identity, encoding the single field dependence in the effective action, can be solved exactly. We show that this can be used to construct an effective action which is both covariant and dependent on the background and fluctuation fields only through a single total field in a way independent from the dynamics. Moreover we discuss the criteria under which the ultraviolet symmetries are inherited by the quantum effective action. The approach is demonstrated through some examples, including the $O(N)$ effective field theory, which might be of interest for the Higgs sector of the Standard Model or its extensions.

description: Vor etwa 40 Jahren wurden in Österreich Studiengänge aus Computerwissenschaften und Informatik zusätzlich zu den naturwissenschaftlichen Studien aus Mathematik, Physik, Chemie oder Biologie als technische Studienrichtungen aufgenommen. Mitte der 80er Jahre war zwar der Druck auf die Allgemeinbildende Höhere Schule so groß, dass das Unterrichtsfach Informatik als Pflichtfach in der 9. Schulstufe eingeführt wurde, ein Lehramtsstudium für Höhere Schulen an den Universitäten wurde allerdings nicht eingerichtet. Es dauerte weitere 15 Jahre bis man schließlich auf der Basis des UniSTG98 das Lehramtsstudium aus Informatik und Informatikmanagement als "reguläres" Kombinationsfach an drei österreichischen Universitäten belegen konnte. Zirka zehn weitere Jahre sind mittlerweile vergangen. Ich meine, dass nun ein geeigneter Zeitpunkt gekommen ist, um inne zu halten. Allerdings nicht, um in Erinnerungen zu verhaften, sondern vor allem um aus der Analyse des Vergangenen zukünftige Aufgaben für die Weiterentwicklung der Mathematik- und Informatikdidaktik zu formulieren. Die damit einhergehende Zusammenführung jeweils spezifischer Sichtweisen sowie das Aufzeigen von Gemeinsamkeiten in den Strukturen (Fuchs 2008; Fuchs, Siller 2009) erscheinen mir nämlich mittlerweile dringend notwendig um die nach der Emanzipation der Informatikdidaktik immer größer werdende Kluft zwischen den Forschungsgemeinschaften der Mathematik- und Informatik-didaktik zu schließen.

description: In this paper, we find rational zeta series with $ζ(2n)$ in terms of $ζ(2k+1)$ and $β(2k)$, the Dirichlet beta function. We then develop a certain family of generalized rational zeta series using the generalized Clausen function and use those results to discover a second family of generalized rational zeta series. As a special case of our results from Theorem 3.1, we prove a conjecture given in 2012 by F.M.S. Lima. Later, we use the same analysis but for the digamma function $ψ(x)$ and negapolygammas $ψ^{(-m)}(x)$. With these, we extract the same two families of generalized rational zeta series with $ζ(2n+1)$ on the numerator rather than $ζ(2n)$.

Denote by $r$ the smallest prime which does not belong to $π$ and set $m=r$ if $r=2,3$ and $m=r-1$ if $r\geqslant 5$. We study the following conjecture: a conjugacy class $D$ of a finite group $G$ is contained in $Oπ(G)$ if and only if every $m$ elements of $D$ generate a $π$-subgroup. We confirm this conjecture for each group $G$ whose nonabelian composition factors are isomorphic to alternating, linear and unitary simple groups.

By using monthly new VDAX closing prices and a copula-based Markov approach, a proxy for German stock market confidence is derived. It can be shown that confidence responds to expected output changes in terms of differences of the IFO business climate index and to US confidence changes. Furthermore,German stock market behavior seems to be sticky in comparison to the United States and reduces the marginal effects of the remaining adjustment factors. JEL Classification: C12, C22, E44

Life Table Forecasting with the Gompertz Distribution

description: First, this paper investigates the properties of the Gompertz distribution and the relationships of their constants. Then the use of Gompertz´s law to describe mortality is discussed with male and female period life table data of the United States between 1900 and 2000. For this purpose a model incorporating time trends has been formulated with age, time and the product of age and time as independent variables and the force of mortality as the dependent variable. The parameters of the model are estimated using the least squares method. Since the mortality of modern developed population is largely the mortality of old age this generalized Gompertz model provides a good approximation of life tables in these populations, and can be used to estimate and forecast many parameters of the life table and the stationary population like expectation of life, modal age, Keyfitz´entropy or old age dependency ratios. These and other parameters are forecast up to the year 2100 and compared with recent mortality forecasts of the Social Security Administration. While similar results for the male population can be observed, a greater difference between male and female mortality are forecast. Although the time dependent Gompertz model reveals systematic underestimation of mortality at young ages and overestimation at the oldest ages it is a very useful, an easy, and a quick tool for obtaining forecasts of important parameters of life tables with low mortality.

description: We study the solutions $u=u(x,t)$ to the Cauchy problem on $\mathbb Z^d\times(0,\infty)$ for the parabolic equation $\partial_t u=Δu+ξu$ with initial data $u(x,0)=1_{\{0\}}(x)$. Here $Δ$ is the discrete Laplacian on $\mathbb Z^d$ and $ξ=(ξ(z))_{z\in\mathbb Z^d}$ is an i.i.d.\ random field with doubly-exponential upper tails. We prove that, for large $t$ and with large probability, a majority of the total mass $U(t):=\sum_x u(x,t)$ of the solution resides in a bounded neighborhood of a site $Z_t$ that achieves an optimal compromise between the local Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Anderson Hamiltonian $Δ+ξ$ and the distance to the origin. The processes $t\mapsto Z_t$ and $t \mapsto \tfrac1t \log U(t)$ are shown to converge in distribution under suitable scaling of space and time. Aging results for $Z_t$, as well as for the solution to the parabolic problem, are also established. The proof uses the characterization of eigenvalue order statistics for $Δ+ξ$ in large sets recently proved by the first two authors.

description: We consider a family of character sums as multiplicative analogues of Kloosterman sums. Using Gauss sums, Jacobi sums and Deligne's bound for hyper-Kloosterman sums, we establish asymptotic formulae for any real (positive) moments of the above character sum as the character runs over all non-trivial multiplicative characters mod $p.$ Moreover, an arcsine law is also established as a consequence of the method of moments. The evaluations of these moments also allow us to obtain asymptotic formulae for moments of such character sums weighted by special $L$-values (at $1/2$ and $1$).

description: Parametric resonance in a single-field inflationary model with a periodic structure on the potential gives rise to curvature perturbations with large amplitudes on small scales, which could result in observable primordial black holes (PBHs) and concomitant gravitational waves (GWs) induced by curvature perturbations in the radiation-dominated era. In such a model, GWs associated with the PBH formation were investigated in Ref. [1]. In this paper, we consider a stochastic GW background sourced by inflaton perturbations resonantly amplified during inflation. We compute the energy spectra of induced GWs produced both during inflation and in the radiation-dominated era, and find that the peak of the energy spectrum of the former is much higher than that of the latter, but is located at a lower frequency. Moreover, the energy spectrum of induced GWs produced during inflation exhibits a unique oscillating character in the ultraviolet region. Both the stochastic GW backgrounds are expected to be detected by future space-based laser interferometers.

description: In this paper we present a detailed treatment of the ac Stark effect of a three-level atom driven by two strong laser fields in a cascade scheme. We consider two situations where there is a weak laser field probing a new transition starting from one of the three levels to a fourth level. In one case the initial level of the probed transition is the ground state and in the other case the initial level is the intermediate state. For both situations we derive an analytical expression for the absorptive and dispersive responses of the weak probe field and present the spectrum obtained from numerical calculation. The general feature of the spectrum has a three-peak structure. The positions and relative intensities of the three spectral components are affected strongly by the driving field intensities and detunings. An account of the spectrum is given in terms of the dressed-state formalism.

description: Even though many scales for the assessment of sexual dysfunction have been recently developed, most of them are suitable rather for the research purpose in clinical trials than to routine interviews in a daily, private practice. We report here the first experience with a simple, semi-quantitative scale for parallel assessment of sexual dysfunction and life-satisfaction (considered to globally reflect the quality of life), which was tested in depressed patients treated in the psychiatric, private practice setting. A combined Sexual Dysfunction(SD-S) and Life-Satisfaction Scale (LS-S), was constructed based on previous interviews with patients. Both consisted of 4-items, assumed to represent core elements of sexual function and individual well-being. The scales were applied to depressed patients treated with any of the SSRIs or with moclobemide, a reversible and selective MAO-A inhibitor. These two treatments were selected for testing the scales because it is known that SSRIs can induce or exacerbate them and moclobemide does not seem to affect them. The selection of treatment modality in this study was, however, entirely at the discretion of the physician. The assessments were done during 3 visits (at baseline, after 2 months and after 4 months). The results of this exploratory trial, testing the applicability, acceptance and utility of a combined mini- SD-S- and LS-S- scale, in 62 depressed patients, showed that the scale: a) was simple to use and well accepted by physicians and patients, b) was a suitable instrument for the practicing physician to control the success of the treatment and c) was sensitively assessing the presence and severity of sexual dysfunction.

description: We derive an exact operatorial reformulation of the rotational invariant slave boson method and we apply it to describe the orbital differentiation in strongly correlated electron systems starting from first principles. The approach enables us to treat strong electron correlations, spin-orbit coupling and crystal field splittings on the same footing by exploiting the gauge invariance of the mean-field equations. We apply our theory to the archetypical nuclear fuel UO$_2$, and show that the ground state of this system displays a pronounced orbital differention within the $5f$ manifold, with Mott localized $Γ_8$ and extended $Γ_7$ electrons.

description: The so-called "dipper" stars host circumstellar disks and have optical and infrared light curves that exhibit quasi-periodic or aperiodic dimming events consistent with extinction by transiting dusty structures orbiting in the inner disk. Most of the proposed mechanisms explaining the dips---i.e., occulting disk warps, vortices, and forming planetesimals---assume nearly edge-on viewing geometries. However, our analysis of the three known dippers with publicly available resolved sub-mm data reveals disks with a range of inclinations, most notably the face-on transition disk J1604-2130 (EPIC 204638512). This suggests that nearly edge-on viewing geometries are not a defining characteristic of the dippers and that additional models should be explored. If confirmed by further observations of more dippers, this would point to inner disk processes that regularly produce dusty structures far above the outer disk midplane in regions relevant to planet formation.

description: The effect of exogenous auxin and cytokinin on cell proliferation and differentiation varies with the tissue system, and depends on the endogenous levels of the two hormones in the tissue. In this report, cytokinin (N6-benzyladenine, BA) and auxin (indole-3-acetic acid, IAA) were used to treat young seedlings, leaf explants, and genetic tumors of a Nicotiana hybrid. Exogenous BA markedly accelerated genetic tumor formation in young seedlings, while exogenous IAA inhibited it on young seedlings but not on leaf explants. Genetic tumors showed low sensitivity to exogenous BA and IAA. RAPD analysis of the genomes of the genetic tumors and normal tissue suggested that tumor formation is related to genomic instability.

A 2D Georeferenced Map Aided Visual-Inertial System for Precise UAV Localization

description: Precise geolocalization is crucial for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). However, most current deployed UAVs rely on the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) or high precision inertial navigation systems (INS) for geolocalization. In this paper, we propose to use a lightweight visual-inertial system with a 2D georeference map to obtain accurate and consecutive geodetic positions for UAVs. The proposed system firstly integrates a micro inertial measurement unit (MIMU) and a monocular camera as odometry to consecutively estimate the navigation states and reconstruct the 3D position of the observed visual features in the local world frame. To obtain the geolocation, the visual features tracked by the odometry are further registered to the 2D georeferenced map. While most conventional methods perform image-level aerial image registration, we propose to align the reconstructed points to the map points in the geodetic frame; this helps to filter out the large portion of outliers and decouples the negative effects from the horizontal angles. The registered points are then used to relocalize the vehicle in the geodetic frame. Finally, a pose graph is deployed to fuse the geolocation from the aerial image registration and the local navigation result from the visual-inertial odometry (VIO) to achieve consecutive and drift-free geolocalization performance. We have validated the proposed method by installing the sensors to a UAV body rigidly and have conducted two flights in different environments with unknown initials. The results show that the proposed method can achieve less than 4m position error in flight at 100m high and less than 9m position error in flight about 300m high.
Cosection localization and the Quot scheme $\mathrm{Quot}^{l}_{S}(\mathcal{E})$

description: Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a locally free sheaf of rank $r$ on a smooth projective surface $S$. The Quot scheme $\mathrm{Quot}^{l}_{S}(\mathcal{E})$ of length $l$ coherent sheaf quotients of $\mathcal{E}$ is a natural higher rank generalization of the Hilbert scheme of $l$ points of $S$. We study the virtual intersection theory of this scheme. If $C\subset S$ is a smooth canonical curve, we use cosection localization to show that the virtual fundamental class of $\mathrm{Quot}^{l}_{S}(\mathcal{E})$ is $(-1)^{l}$ times the fundamental class of the smooth subscheme $\mathrm{Quot}^{l}_{C}(\mathcal{E}\vert_{C})\subset\mathrm{Quot}^{l}_{S}(\mathcal{E})$. We then prove a structure theorem for virtual tautological integrals over $\mathrm{Quot}^{l}_{S}(\mathcal{E})$. From this we deduce, among other things, the equality of virtual Euler characteristics $χ^{\mathrm{vir}}(\mathrm{Quot}^{l}_{S}(\mathcal{E}))=χ^{\mathrm{vir}}(\mathrm{Quot}^{l}_{S}(\mathcal{O}^{\oplus r}))$.

Constraints on shear and rotation with massive galaxy clusters

description: A precise determination of the mass function is an important tool to verify cosmological predictions of the $Λ$CDM model and to infer more precisely the better model describing the evolution of the Universe. Galaxy clusters have been currently used to infer cosmological parameters, in particular the matter density parameter $Ω_{\rm m}$, the matter power spectrum normalization $σ_8$ and the equation of state parameter $w_{\rm de}$ of the dark energy fluid. In this work, using data on massive galaxy clusters ($M>8\times 10^{14}~h^{-1}~M_{\odot}$) in the redshift range $0.05\lesssim z\lesssim 0.83$ we put constraints on the parameter $α$ introduced within the formalism of the extended spherical collapse model to quantify deviations from sphericity due to shear and rotation. Since at the moment there is no physical model describing its functional shape, we assume it to be a logarithmic function of the cluster mass. By holding $σ_8$ fixed and restricting our analysis to a $Λ$CDM model, we find, at $1-σ$ confidence level, $Ω_{\rm m}=0.284\pm0.0064$, $h=0.678\pm0.017$ and $β=0.0019^{+0.0008}_{-0.0015}$, where $β$ represents the slope of the parameter $α$. This results translates into a $9\%$ decrement of the number of massive clusters with respect to a standard $Λ$CDM mass function, but better data are required to better constrain this quantity, since at the $2-σ$ and $3-σ$ confidence level we are only able to infer upper limits.

description: Diarrhea from enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) expressing the K88 fimbrial adhesin causes high morbidity and mortality among newborn and weaned piglets. K88 fimbrial adhesins are surface filaments with lectin activity that recognize specific glycoconjugates (glycoproteins or glycolipids) on the surface of intestinal cells. Carbohydrates that compete for adhesion attachment could serve as an alternative for disease prevention. In this study, IgA, IgG and IgM oligosaccharides were tested to inhibit the adhesion of E. coli K88 to piglet mucins. Immunoglobulins were isolated from porcine serum by hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) and purified by affinity chromatography. In vitro K88 adhesin interacts specifically with IgA oligosaccharides, but not with carbohydrates of IgG or IgM. Also IgA oligosaccharides partially inhibit the adherence of K88 strain to porcine intestinal mucins.
