Do Religious People Cope Better in a Crisis? Evidence from the UK Pandemic Lockdowns

description: We measure whether religious people in the UK cope better during a large negative shock - the nationwide pandemic lockdowns. We use data from the Understanding Society longitudinal dataset, including self-reports on religion and religiosity taken before the pandemic, and mental health data on unhappiness and depression, collected both before and during the lockdown periods. We find evidence that religious people coped better during the lockdowns. In terms of magnitude, we found that religious people (in that it makes a difference to their life) were around one-fifth less likely to suffer an increase in unhappiness or depression. Our results for those who belong to a religion (regardless if it makes a difference to their life) were higher in magnitude, but lower in significance. We found little difference in coping across religions; with the results for Christians, Muslims and Hindus all being broadly similar. However, we did find some difference within Christian denominations, with ‘Christian Other’ (those belonging to mainly Protestant churches other than the Church of England) coping relatively worse among those who belong to a religion. We also found that when places of worship were closed, religious Muslims and Catholics suffered disproportionately - the two religious groups from our study that normally require weekly communal attendance from their followers.

Evaluation of $α(M_{\rm Z}^2)$ and $(g-2)_μ$
Creators: name: Davier, Michel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: This talk summarizes the recent developments in the evaluation of the leading order hadronic contributions to the running of the QED fine structure constant $α(s)$, at $s=M_{\rm Z}^2$, and to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $(g-2)_μ$. The accuracy of the theoretical prediction of these observables is limited by the uncertainties on the hadronic contributions. Significant improvement has been achieved in a series of new analyses which is presented historically in three steps: (I), use of $τ$ spectral functions in addition to $e^+e^-$ cross sections, (II), extended use of perturbative QCD and (III), application of QCD sum rule techniques. The most precise values obtained are: $Δα_{\rm had}(M_{\rm Z}^2)$, $=(276.3\pm1.6)\times10^{-4}$, yielding $α^{-1}(M_{\rm Z}^2)=128.933\pm0.021$, and $a_μ^{\rm had}=(692.4\pm6.2)\times 10^{-10}$ with which one finds for the complete Standard Model prediction $a_μ^{\rm SM}=(11 659 159.6\pm6.7)\times10^{-10}$. For the electron $(g-2)_e$, the hadronic contribution is $a_e^{\rm had}=(187.5\pm1.8)\times 10^{-14}$.

Can the Zee ansatz for neutrino masses be correct?

Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Working in the framework of three chiral neutrinos with Majorana masses, we investigate a scenario first realized in an explicit model by Zee: that the neutrino mass matrix is strictly off-diagonal in the flavor basis, with all its diagonal entries precisely zero. This CP-conserving ansatz leads to two relations among the three mixing angles $(θ_1, θ_2, θ_3)$ and two squared mass differences. We impose the constraint $|m_3^2 - m_2^2| \gg |m^2_2 - m_1^2|$ to conform with experiment, which requires the $θ_i$ to lie nearby one of four 1-parameter domains in $θ$-space. We exhibit the implications for solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillations in each of these cases. A unique version of the Zee {\it ansatz} survives confrontation with experimental data, one which necessarily involves maximal just-so vacuum oscillations of solar neutrinos.

Some notes on the signed bad number in bipartite graphs

Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)

description: In this paper, we deal with the signed bad number and the negative decision number of graphs. We show that two upper bounds concerning these two parameters for bipartite graphs in papers [Discrete Math. Algorithms Appl. 1 (2011), 33--41] and [Australas. J. Combin. 41 (2008), 263--272] are not true as they stand. We correct them by presenting more general bounds for triangle-free graphs by using the classic theorem of Mantel from the extremal graph theory and characterize all triangle-free graphs attaining these bounds.

description: This article provides a structured description of openly available news topics and forecasts for armed conflict at the national and grid cell level starting January 2010. The news topics as well as the forecasts are updated monthly at conflictforecast.org and provide coverage for more than 170 countries and about 65,000 grid cells of size 55x55km worldwide. The forecasts rely on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning techniques to leverage a large corpus of newspaper text for predicting sudden onsets of violence in peaceful countries. Our goals are to: a) support conflict prevention efforts by making our risk forecasts available to practitioners and research teams worldwide, b) facilitate additional research that can utilise risk forecasts for causal identification, and to c) provide an overview of the news landscape.

description: As Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) penetration increases in poorly networked areas with suitable VRE resources, transmission constraints will increasingly force VRE curtailment. Under most European market access and pricing arrangements, location and operation decisions are based on average curtailment rates. As the marginal contribution of the last MW of VRE is 3+ times average curtailment, there is a risk of inefficient location and operation. This article compares different pricing and access regimes (including nodal pricing that gives efficient transmission scarcity signals) to compare their impact on the incentives for VRE merchant or market driven entry.

description: Forecasts play a central role in decision making under uncertainty. After a brief review of the general issues, this paper considers ways of using high-dimensional data in forecasting. We consider selecting variables from a known active set, known knowns, using Lasso and OCMT, and approximating unobserved latent factors, known unknowns, by various means. This combines both sparse and dense approaches. We demonstrate the various issues involved in variable selection in a high-dimensional setting with an application to forecasting UK inflation at different horizons over the period 2020q1-2023q1. This application shows both the power of parsimonious models and the importance of allowing for global variables.
Hadron and hadron-cluster production in a hydrodynamical model including particle evaporation

description: We discuss the evolution of the mixed phase at RHIC and SPS within boostinvariant hydrodynamics. In addition to the hydrodynamical expansion, we also consider evaporation of particles off the surface of the fluid. The back-reaction of the evaporation process on the dynamics of the fluid shortens the lifetime of the mixed phase. In our model this lifetime of the mixed phase is <12 fm/c in Au+Au at RHIC and <6.5 fm/c in Pb+Pb at SPS, even in the limit of vanishing transverse expansion velocity. Strangeness separation occurs, especially in events (or at rapidities) with relatively high initial net baryon and strangeness number, enhancing the multiplicity of MEMOs (multiply strange nuclear clusters). If antiquarks and antibaryons reach saturation in the course of the pure QGP or mixed phase, we find that at RHIC the ratio of antideuterons to deuterons may exceed 0.3 and even anti-helium to helium>0.1. Due to fluctuations, at RHIC even negative baryon number at midrapidity is possible in individual events, so that the antibaryon and antibaryon-cluster yields exceed those of the corresponding baryons and clusters.

Mean-Field Nematic--Smectic-{\sl A} Transition in a Random Polymer Network

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)

description: Liquid crystal elastomers present a rich combination of effects associated with orientational symmetry breaking and the underlying rubber elasticity. In this work we focus on the effect of the network on the nematic--smectic-{\sl A} transition, exploring the additional translational symmetry breaking in these elastomers. We incorporate the crosslinks as a random field in a microscopic picture, thus expressing the degree to which the smectic order is locally frozen with respect to the network. We predict a modification of the NA transition, notably that it can be treated at the mean-field level (type-I system), due to the coupling with elastic degrees of freedom. There is a shift in the transition temperature $T_{\scriptscriptstyle NA}$, a suppression of the Halperin-Lubensky-Ma (HLM) effect (thus recovering the mean-field continuous transition to the smectic state), and a new tri-critical point, depending on the conditions of network formation. When the nematic phase possesses `soft elasticity', the NA transition becomes of first order due to the coupling with soft phonons in the network. We also discuss the microscopic origin of phenomenological long-wavelength coupling between smectic phase and elastic strain.

description: Recently it has been proposed that the physical spectrum of a vector-like gauge field theory may exhibit an enhanced global symmetry near a chiral/conformal phase transition. The new symmetry is related to the possibility, supported by various investigations, that a parity-doubled spectrum develops as the number of fermions Nf is increased to a critical value above which it is expected that the symmetric phase is restored. We show that parity-doubling together with the associated enhanced global symmetry severely constrains the epsilon terms of the effective Lagrangian involving Goldstone bosons as well as massive spin-1 particles. We extend our analysis to underlying fermions in pseudo-real representations of the gauge group.

description: In a recent paper, we included two loop, relativistic one loop and second order relativistic tree level corrections, plus leading nonperturbative contributions, to obtain a calculation of the lower states in the heavy quarkonium spectrum correct up to, and including, $O(α_s^4)$ and leading $\Lambdav^4/m^4$ terms. The results were obtained with, in particular, the value of the two loop static coefficient due to Peter; this been recently challenged by Schröder. In our previous paper we used Peter's result; in the present one we now give results with Schröder's, as this is likely to be the correct one. The variation is slight as the value of $b_1$ is only one among the various $O(α_s^4)$ contributions. With Schröder's expression we now have, $$m_b=5\,001^{+104}_{-66}\;\mev;\quad \bar{m}_b(\bar{m}_b^2)=4\,440^{+43}_{-28}\;\mev,$$ $$m_c=1\,866^{+190}_{-154}\;\mev;\quad \bar{m}_c(\bar{m}_c^2)=1\,531^{+132}_{-127}\;\mev.$$ Moreover, $$\Gammav(\Upsilonv\rightarrow e^+e^-)=1.07\pm0.28\;\kev \;(\hbox{exp.}=1.320\pm0.04\,\kev)$$ and the hyperfine splitting is predicted to be $$M(\Upsilonv)-M(η)=47^{+15}_{-13}\;\mev.$$

description: This paper documents the Time Series Growth Curves (tsgc) package for R, which is designed for forecasting epidemics, including the detection of new waves and turning points. The package implements time series growth curve methods founded on a dynamic Gompertz model and can be estimated using techniques based on state space models and the Kalman filter. The model is suitable for predicting future values of any variable which, when cumulated, is subject to some unknown saturation level. In the context of epidemics, the model can adjust to changes in social behavior and policy. It is also relevant for many other domains, such as the diffusion of new products. The tsgc package is demonstrated using data on COVID-19 confirmed cases.

description: A lattice QCD calculation of the $\bar{B}\to Dl\barν$ decay form factors is presented. We obtain the value of the form factor $h_+(w)$ at the zero-recoil limit $w=1$ with high precision by considering a ratio of correlation functions in which the bulk of the uncertainties cancels. The other form factor $h_-(w)$ is calculated, for small recoil momenta, from a similar ratio. In both cases, the heavy quark mass dependence is observed through direct calculations with several combinations of initial and final heavy quark masses. Our results are $h_+(1) = 1.007(6)(2)(3)$ and $h_-(1)=-0.107(28)(04)(^{10}_{30})$. For both the first error is statistical, the second stems from the uncertainty in adjusting the heavy quark masses, and the last from omitted radiative corrections. Combining these results, we obtain a precise determination of the physical combination $F_{B\to D}(1)=1.058(^{20}_{17})$, where the mentioned systematic errors are added in quadrature. The dependence on lattice spacing and the effect of quenching are not yet included, but with our method they should be a fraction of $F_{B\to D}-1$.

description: We study a model of conflict with multiple battlefields and the possibility of investments spillovers between the battlefields. Results of conflicts at the individual battlefields are determined by the Tullock contest success function based on efforts assigned to a battlefield as well as efforts spilling over from the neighbouring battlefields. We characterize Nash equilibria of this model and uncover a network invariance result: equilibrium payoffs, equilibrium total expenditure, and equilibrium probabilities of winning individual battlefields are independent of the network of spillovers. We show that the network invariance holds for any contest success function that is homogeneous of degree zero and has the no-tie property. We define a network index that characterizes equilibrium efforts assignments of the players. We show that the index satisfies neighbourhood inclusion and can, therefore, be considered a network centrality.

description: The effect of narrow dibaryon resonances to nuclear matter and structure of neutron stars is investigated in the mean-field theory (MFT) and in the relativistic Hartree approximation (RHA). The existence of massive neutron stars imposes constraints to the coupling constants of the omega- and sigma-mesons with dibaryons. We conclude that the experimental candidates to dibaryons d1(1920) and d'(2060) if exist form in nuclear matter a Bose condensate stable against compression. This proves stability of the ground state for nuclear matter with a Bose condensate of the light dibaryons.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Detailed microscopic derivation from the many-body Schrödinger equation is presented. Special attention is paid to the Coulomb blockade and quantum coherence effects in coupled quantum dot systems. The distinction between classical and quantum descriptions of resonant transport is clearly manifested in the modified rate equations.

After summarizing the basics of the flux transport dynamo model, we discuss how this model had been used to make a successful prediction of cycle~24, on the assumption that the irregularities of the solar cycle arise due to the fluctuations in the Babcock--Leighton mechanism. We point out that fluctuations in the meridional circulation can be another cause of irregularities in the cycle.

description: We study a novel target prize contest between two heterogeneous contestants featuring sabotage. The contestants first choose a target prize should they win the contest, then exert two types of effort: (i) productive effort which directly enhances their performance; and (ii) destructive effort which reduces the opponent’s performance. While both types of effort incur constant marginal costs (in the respective levels of effort), the productive effort’s marginal cost is an increasing function of the target prize. We show that when contestants are allowed to choose their own target prize, they do not sabotage each other in any subgame perfect equilibrium.

description: COVID-19 drastically increased demand- and supply pressures faced by healthcare systems. Increased pressures may have negative spillovers into non COVID-19 care which can cause preventable excess deaths among patients seeking medical help for reasons unrelated to COVID-19. This paper finds substantial and robust evidence of such non COVID-19 excess deaths among hospital patients leveraging data from an integrated public healthcare system: the NHS in England. We find that there is at least one additional preventable death among hospital patients seeking medical help for reasons unrelated to COVID-19 for every 30 deaths that can be linked to COVID-19. In aggregate, there were 4,003 such excess deaths during the first twelve months of the pandemic. At the healthcare provider level, the increase in non COVID-19 excess deaths is sharply increasing in COVID-19 induced pressures on hospitals.

description: The persistence literature in economics and related disciplines connects recent outcomes to events long ago. Although this influential literature is promising, it raises serious questions about how to distinguish deep causal factors that persist across time from alternative explanations derived from the rapidly changing historical context or misuse of historical sources. We discuss two prominent examples that ground the rise of the Nazi Party in distant historical roots. Several econometric, analytical, and historical errors undermine the papers’ contention that deeply rooted culture and social capital fuelled the Nazi rise. The general lesson for persistence studies is that beyond careful econometrics and serious consideration of underlying mechanisms (including formal theory), they must pay scrupulous attention to the historical context and the limitations of historical data.

Polarized electron beam and CP observables and asymmetries are used to impose bounds on the anomalous couplings.

Distributions of coarse--grained variables seem to approach a fixed non--Gaussian form, and we see evidence of scaling in both static and dynamic quantities. These results suggest that the collective behavior of the network is described by a non--trivial fixed point.

description: How does trade policy affect competition? Using the universe of product exports by firms from eleven low and middle-income countries, we document that tariff reductions under trade agreements have strong pro-competitive effects - they encourage entry and reduce the (tariff exclusive) price-cost markups of exporters. This finding, that markups fall with tariff cuts, contradicts a core prediction of standard oligopolistic competition models of trade. We extend a workhorse international pricing model of oligopolistic competition to include multiple countries and a rich preference structure. Our preference structure allows for fierce competition among firms from the same country and less intense competition among firms from different countries. We show a firm's optimal markup after a tariff cut can rise or fall depending on the parameters of the preference structure and tari-induced reallocation of market share among firms and across countries.

description: We study the single-particle properties of a system formed by ultracold atoms loaded into the manifold of $l=1$ Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) states of an optical lattice with a diamond chain geometry. Through a series of successive basis rotations, we show that the OAM degree of freedom induces phases in some tunneling amplitudes of the tight-binding model that are equivalent to a net $π$ flux through the plaquettes and give rise to a topologically non-trivial band structure and protected edge states. In addition, we demonstrate that quantum interferences between the different tunneling processes involved in the dynamics may lead to Aharanov-Bohm caging in the system. All these analytical results are confirmed by exact diagonalization numerical calculations.

description: As we approach the turn of the century, the Standard Model is still consistent with all our experimental observations and the path to a more complete picture of the fundamental constituents and their interactions has yet to be clearly identified. Beauty flavored hadrons have provided crucial experimental information on several fundamental parameters of the Standard Model and may lead to one of the most challenging test of its validity and provide some clues on the path towards a more complete theory. Several experiments will try to explore this rich phenomenology in the next few years. Their physics goals and discovery potential will be compared.

description: We present a complete numerical calculation and an experimental data analysis of the universal conductance fluctuations in quasi-one-dimension nanowires. The conductance peak density model, introduced in nanodevice research on [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 176807 (2011)], is applied successfully to obtain the coherence length of InAs nanowire magnetoconductance and we prove its equivalence with correlation methods. We show the efficiency of the method and therefore a prominent alternative to obtain the phase-coherence length. The peak density model can be similarly applied to spintronic setups, graphene and topological isolator where phase-coherence length is a relevant experimental parameter.

Neutrino masses: From fantasy to facts

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

description: Theory suggests the existence of neutrino masses, but little more. Facts are coming close to reveal our fantasy: solar and atmospheric neutrino data strongly indicate the need for neutrino conversions, while LSND provides an intriguing hint. The simplest ways to reconcile these data in terms of neutrino oscillations invoke a light sterile neutrino in addition to the three active ones. Out of the four neutrinos, two are maximally-mixed and lie at the LSND scale, while the others are at the solar mass scale. These schemes can be distinguished at neutral-current-sensitive solar & atmospheric neutrino experiments. I discuss the simplest theoretical scenarios, where the lightness of the sterile neutrino, the nearly maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing, and the generation of $Δ{m^2}_\odot$ & $Δ{m^2}_{atm}$ all follow naturally from the assumed lepton-number symmetry and its breaking. Although the most likely interpretation of the present data is in terms of neutrino-mass-induced oscillations, one still has room for alternative explanations, such as flavour changing neutrino interactions, with no need for neutrino mass or mixing. Such flavour violating transitions arise in theories with strictly massless neutrinos, and may lead to other sizeable flavour non-conservation effects, such as $μ\to e + γ$, $μ-e$ conversion in nuclei, unaccompanied by neutrino-less double beta decay.

description: We study the properties of an anisotropically paired superconductor in the presence of a specularly reflecting surface. The bulk stable phase of the superconducting order parameter is taken to have $d_{x^2-y^2}$ symmetry. Contributions by order parameter components of different symmetries vanish in the bulk, but may enter in the vicinity of a wall. We calculate the self-consistent order parameter and surface free energy within the quasiclassical formulation of superconductivity. We discuss, in particular, the dependence of these quantities on the degree of order parameter mixing and the surface to lattice orientation. Knowledge of the thermodynamically stable order parameter near a surface is a necessary precondition for calculating measurable surface properties which we present in a companion paper.

description: We propose an interferometric measurement of weak forces using a single ion subjected to designed time-dependent spin-dependent forces. Explicit expressions of the relation between the unknown force and the final populations are found considering different scenarios, such as the weak force acting on two branches, on one branch, or having errors in the driving force. The flexibility to design the trap trajectories is used to minimize errors due to anharmonicities in the trap. The advantages of the approach are the use of geometrical phases, which provides stability, the possibility to design faster-than-adiabatic processes with sensitivity control, and the independence of the results on the motional states for the small-oscillations regime in which the effective potentials are purely harmonic.

Should the EU ETS be extended to road transport and heating fuels?

description: This paper considers the current proposal to extend the EU ETS to cover CO2 emissions from the combustion of heating and road transport fuels. We argue that increased coverage of the EU ETS, together with a binding cap consistent with a net zero trajectory, would be a powerful dynamic incentive to efficient emissions reduction. In addition, it would complement standards-based policies currently enacted in these sectors in several ways. Distributional implications remain a serious challenge to such an extension but several mechanisms are available to alleviate them.

description: In recent work on experimental tests of quantum-gravity-motivated phenomenological models, a significant role has been played by the so-called ``$κ$'' deformations of Poincaré symmetries. Sensitivity to values of the relevant deformation length $λ$ as small as $5 \cdot 10^{-33}m$ has been achieved in recent analyses comparing the structure of $κ$-Poincaré symmetries with data on the gamma rays we detect from distant astrophysical sources. We investigate violations of CPT symmetry which may be associated with $κ$-Poincaré in the physics of the neutral-kaon system. A simple estimate indicates that experiments on the neutral kaons may actually be more $λ$-sensitive than corresponding astrophysical experiments, and may already allow to probe values of $λ$ of order the Planck length.

Spectrum and Energy Efficient Multiple Access for Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)

description: We consider a binary hypothesis testing problem using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The decision is made by a fusion center and is based on received data from the sensors. We focus on a spectrum and energy efficient transmission scheme used to reduce the spectrum usage and energy consumption during the detection task. We propose a Spectrum and Energy Efficient Multiple Access (SEEMA) transmission protocol that performs a censoring-type transmission based on the density of observations using multiple access channels (MAC). Specifically, in SEEMA, only sensors with highly informative observations transmit their data in each data collection. The sensors transmit a common shaping waveform and the fusion center receives a superposition of the analog transmitted signals. SEEMA has important advantages for detection tasks in WSNs. First, it is highly energy and bandwidth efficient due to transmission savings and narrowband transmission over MAC. Second, it can be implemented by simple dumb sensors (oblivious to observation statistics, and local data processing is not required) which simplifies the implementation as compared to existing MAC transmission schemes for detection in WSNs. We establish a finite sample analysis and an asymptotic analysis of the error probability with respect to the network size and provide system design conditions to obtain the exponential decay of the error. Specific performance analysis is developed for common non-i.i.d. observation scenarios, including local i.i.d. observations, and Markovian correlated observations. Numerical examples demonstrate SEEMA performance.
