description: Let’s get to, and celebrate loud and now, the raptor-like intensity of not being distracted that is Licia Fiol-Matta’s The Great Woman Singer. By creating the complex badass ensemble of Myrta Silva, Ruth Fernandez, La Calandria, and Lucecita, Fiol-Matta asks us: what if we start here? What if we begin with the presumption of women’s musical activity rather than from that shorthanded place of negation? A place that doesn’t begin with how women entered, but made possible, the larger musical scene. This place, the beautiful migrant non-place of this book, goes straight for the historical fact of women in music, but also suggests how criticism (as a whole) has never been able to make this presumption ordinary to talk about them in a sustained, rather than corrective way. What links these performers is their multi-decade careers—which means that we get to follow them from girlhood to golden age. The robust longevity of these musicians, of women who made and make things in colonial modernity, suggests that we have to refigure just about everything that we think we know about the culture industry. Of the wonder of Lucecita and her bendy artistry of the mid-1960s, Fiol-Matta writes: “She had arrived at the scene, but she could not be interpreted yet” (184). I love this delay that the author leaves for herself and for all us here to say: these musicians require time and new words and worlds.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Trawl fisheries for nephrops is a multi-species fishery and the fish bycatch is an important economic component for the Icelandic fishermen. The mesh sizes in the nephrops fisheries are significantly smaller than that generally used in the demersal fisheries and thus result in bycatch of juvenile fish. A steel grid with 50 and 80 mm bar spacings and a horizontal separation panel were tested to separate fish from nephrops in a demersal trawl. Two codends were connected to the grid and panel. Almost all the nephrops catch entered the lower codend, and most of the fish in the upper one. Fish separation varied among species and fish sizes. The results show that a significant separation can be achieved, which allows for using different codend mesh sizes for nephrops and fish simultaneously in the same trawl for improved size selection.
Nonlinear Filters for Hidden Markov Models of Regime Change with Fast Mean-Reverting States

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: We consider filtering for a hidden Markov model that evolves with multiple time scales in the hidden states. In particular, we consider the case where one of the states is a scaled Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with fast reversion to a shifting-mean that is controlled by a continuous time Markov chain modeling regime change. We show that the nonlinear filter for such a process can be approximated by an averaged filter that asymptotically coincides with the true nonlinear filter of the regime-changing Markov chain as the rate of mean reversion approaches infinity. The asymptotics exploit weak converge of the state variables to an invariant distribution, which is significantly different from the strong convergence used to obtain asymptotic results in "Filtering for Fast Mean-Reverting Processes" (19).

description: The article provides a survey on hippological and hippiatric literature in Latin language from Antiquity to Late Middle Ages. Particular attention is devoted to the treatises on horse-medicine of the Late Antiquity (Mulomedicina Chironis, Pelagonius’ Ars veterinaria and Vegetius’ Digesta artis mulomedicinalis) and to the key-texts of the so-called ‘Stallmeisterzeit’ (Jordanus Ruffus’ De medicina equorum, Albertusvorlage, Theodoricus’ Mulomedicina und Laurentius Rusius’ Mareschalcia). The study of antique and medieval Latin technical texts on horses and horse-care, which needs a strong interdisciplinary approach, has improved in the last years; many critical editions and secondary literature has been published. Nevertheless, there are still gaps to be filled.

description: A useful starting hypothesis for predictions of changes in precipitation extremes with climate is that those extremes increase at the same rate as atmospheric moisture does, which is ∼7% K−1 following the Clausius–Clapeyron (CC) relation. This hypothesis, however, neglects potential changes in the strengths of atmospheric circulations associated with precipitation extremes. As increased moisture leads to increased precipitation, the increased latent heating may lead to stronger large-scale ascent and thus, additional increase in precipitation, leading to a super-CC scaling. This study investigates this possibility in the context of the 2015 Texas extreme precipitation event using the Column Quasi-Geostrophic (CQG) method. Analogs to this event are simulated in different climatic conditions with varying surface temperature (Ts) given the same adiabatic quasigeostrophic forcing. Precipitation in these events exhibits super-CC scaling due to the dynamic contribution associated with increasing ascent due to increased latent heating, an increase with importance that increases with Ts. The thermodynamic contribution (attributable to increasing water vapor; assuming no change in vertical motion) approximately follows CC as expected, while vertical structure changes of moisture and diabatic heating lead to negative but secondary contributions to the sensitivity, reducing the rate of increase.

description: The reading of this beautifully crafted, exhaustively documented, and ethically inspired book by Licia Fiol-Matta, The Great Woman Singer: Gender and Voice in Puerto Rican Music, takes me back to this scene of my early youth. For The Great Woman Singer is a book about the call to open-ended aural suspension and search, about the incitement to listen to what Fiol-Matta defines as the skillfully complicated, contradictorily rich, self-reflexive, brilliant “thinking voice” that four of Puerto Rico’s greatest female pop singers, Myrta Silva, Ruth Fernández, Ernestina Reyes (La Calandria), and Lucecita Benítez, manifested in their singing during the period encompassed by the island’s process of colonial modernity and its aftermath. In tense dialogue with the social forces that would turn their powerfully odd, singular voices into mere representative “nada” or nothingness, Fiol-Matta offers in her book alternative stories of Puerto Rico’s complex and often cruel colonial modernity as told from the most intimate and ephemeral of spaces: from the grain of the singing voice that thinks as it sonically wrestles with its gendered, racialized, and class-coded conditions, the technologies of modernity in the music industries, the sonic ideologies of progress and development of the Puerto Rican Estado Libre Asociado or Commonwealth state, and forced migration and its marginalization in the urban metropolitan setting of New York. The Great Woman Singer is thus simultaneously a tentative and thoughtful reconstruction of the performances of this singing “thinking voice,” based on a painstakingly varied acopio or collection of ephemera (interviews, reviews, programs, records, cassettes, CDs, MP3s, publicity photos, album covers, posters, newspaper clippings, wardrobe, videos, films, fan recollections, and memories), and a critical pedagogy on how to listen to these voices if we are to recover not the intent of the originally sung performances but the polysemous possibilities of interpretation that these four masterfully enduring voices inscribed in them.

description: The kaolinite-rich Marlboro Clay was deposited on the inner shelf in the Salisbury Embayment of the U.S. Atlantic margin at the onset of the carbon isotope excursion marking the 56 Ma Paleocene– Eocene boundary and is characterized by an anomalously high concentration of magnetic nanoparticles of enigmatic origin that give rise to notably intense bulk magnetization. Recent studies point to a magnetic assemblage that is dominated by single-domain magnetite particles that tend to be isolated rather than arranged in chains, the most distinguishing feature of magnetotactic bacteria fossils. On the other hand, it is very unlikely that the nanoparticles can be condensates of an impact plume given the meter-scale thickness of the Marlboro Clay. We obtained new data from a landward proximal site at Wilson Lake on the New Jersey Coastal Plain and find that the abrupt increase in magnetite nanoparticles is virtually coincident stratigraphically with the recently reported impact spherule layer at the base of the Marlboro Clay in the same core. Yet the high field magnetic susceptibility, a measure of total iron concentration, and strontium isotope values on bulk sediment, an indicator of sediment weathering provenance, are not different in the Marlboro Clay from the immediately underlying Vincentown Formation. We suggest that the distinctive magnetic properties of the Marlboro Clay originated from pyromagnetic soil enhancement by widespread wildfires on the adjoining drainage area. The pyrogenetic products were soon washed from the denuded landscape and rapidly deposited as mud-waves across the shelf, becoming the Marlboro Clay. A few percent of incinerated biomass ends up as calcite known as wood ash stone and can inherit its light carbon isotope composition. Disseminated wood ash stone entrained in the Marlboro Clay could contribute to the landward increase in amplitude of the carbon isotope excursion in bulk carbonate data. A plausible trigger for the initial conflagration is a fireball from the impact of a sizable extraterrestrial object at moderate range.
Time-of-arrival probabilities for general particle detectors

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We develop a general framework for the construction of probabilities for the time of arrival in quantum systems. The time of arrival is identified with the time instant when a transition in the detector's degrees of freedom takes place. Thus, its definition is embedded within the larger issue of defining probabilities with respect to time for general quantum transitions. The key point in our analysis is that we manage to reduce the problem of defining a quantum time observable to a mathematical model where time is associated to a transition from a subspace of the Hilbert space of the total system to its complementary subspace. This property makes it possible to derive a general expression for the probability for the time of transition, valid for any quantum system, with the only requirement that the time of transition is correlated with a definite macroscopic record. The framework developed here allows for the consideration of any experimental configuration for the measurement of the time of arrival and it also applies to relativistic systems with interactions described by quantum field theory. We use the method in order to describe time-of-arrival measurements in high-energy particle reactions and for a rigorous derivation of the time-integrated probabilities in particle oscillations.

In-plane stiffness of cross-laminated timber floors
Creators: name: Ashtari, Sepideh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This study investigates the in-plane stiffness of CLT floor diaphragms and addresses the lateral load distribution within buildings containing CLT floors. In practice, it is common to assume the floor diaphragm as either flexible or rigid, and distribute the lateral load according to simple hand calculations methods. Here, the applicability of theses assumption to CLT floor diaphragms is investigated. There is limited number of studies on the subject of in-plane behaviour of CLT diaphragms in the literature. Many of these studies involve testing of the panels or the connections utilized in CLT diaphragms. This study employs numerical modeling as a tool to address the in-plane behaviour of CLT diaphragms. The approach taken to develop the numerical models in this thesis has not been applied so far to CLT floor diaphragms. Detailed 2D finite element models of selective CLT floor diaphragm configurations are generated and analysed in ANSYS. The models contain a smeared panel-to-panel connection model, which is calibrated with test data of a special type of CLT connection with self-tapping wood screws. The floor models are then extended to building models by adding shearwalls, and the lateral load distribution is studied for each building model. A design flowchart is also developed to aid engineers in finding the lateral load distribution for any type of building in a systematic approach. By a parametric study, the most influential parameters affecting the in-plane behaviour of CLT floor diaphragm and the lateral load distribution are identified. The main parameters include the response of the CLT panel-to-panel connections, the in-plane shear modulus of CLT panels, the stiffness of shearwalls, and the floor diaphragm configuration. It was found that the applicability of flexible or rigid diaphragm assumptions is primarily dependent on the relative stiffness of the CLT floor diaphragm and the shearwalls.
Binary dynamics from spin1-spin2 coupling at fourth post-Newtonian order

description: We calculate via the effective field theory (EFT) approach the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) spin1-spin2 conservative potential for a binary. Hereby, we first demonstrate the ability of the EFT approach to go at NNLO in post-Newtonian (PN) corrections from spin effects. The NNLO spin1-spin2 interaction is evaluated at fourth PN order for a binary of maximally rotating compact objects. This sector includes contributions from diagrams, which are not pure spin1-spin2 diagrams, as they contribute through the leading-order spin accelerations and precessions, that should be first taken into account here. The fact that the spin is derivative-coupled adds significantly to the complexity of computations. In particular, for the irreducible two-loop diagrams, which are the most complicated to evaluate in this sector, irreducible two-loop tensor integrals up to order 4 are required. The EFT calculation is carried out in terms of the nonrelativistic gravitational (NRG) fields. However, not all of the benefits of the NRG fields apply to spin interactions, as all possible diagram topologies are realized at each order of $G$ included. Still, the NRG fields remain advantageous, and thus there was no use of automated computations in this work. Our final result can be reduced, and a corresponding Hamiltonian may be derived.

description: This Note takes an interdisciplinary approach by analyzing new Partnership Audit Rules’ effects on misvalued private funds from Securities Law and Tax Law perspectives. First, the funds’ valuation regulations are examined; second, the new Partnership Audit Rules are reviewed; and finally, implications for new investors and private funds are examined. This Note suggests that marketability of private funds, which are ineligible for an opt-out option, would decrease. Especially serious negative effects may be anticipated for private funds with a history of misvaluation administrative proceedings. Nevertheless, several protective measures are available for new partners who want to continue taking advantage of pooled investment vehicles. Finally, there is a potential positive effect on the private funds’ valuation techniques and, consequently, on the number of the SEC administrative proceedings relating to misvalued funds.

description: Protoplanetary discs serve as crucial reservoirs for the formation of small bodies and planets. According to the core accretion theory, initial formation stages involve the growth of interstellar dust grains into larger pebbles of sub-millimeter and millimeter sizes. Observations at such wavelengths provide vital insights into these early processes. Constraining the dust properties of planet-forming discs is fundamental to understanding how dust growth may be favored or accelerated therein. The analysis of multi-frequency data,  which after 10 years of ALMA operations is now for large samples, is a powerful approach to investigating disk properties. As part of the ODISEA project (Ophiuchus DIsk Survey Employing ALMA), we are combining new Band-4 (140 GHz)  observations with existing archival data in Band-3 (100 GHz), Band-6 (230 GHz), and Band-7 (350 GHz) to constrain dust properties in dozens of disks. We will estimate radial profiles for the temperature, surface density, optical depths, and maximum grain sizes to test grain growth and radial drift in dust evolution models. Our results will contribute essential benchmark information for interpreting disk demographic studies at different wavelengths and improving our understanding of planet formation.

Anomalous Late Jurassic motion of the Pacific Plate with implications for true polar wander

description: True polar wander, or TPW, is the rotation of the entire mantle–crust system about an equatorial axis that results in a coherent velocity contribution for all lithospheric plates. One of the most recent candidate TPW events consists of a ∼30◦ rotation during Late Jurassic time (160–145 Ma). However, existing paleomagnetic documentation of this event derives exclusively from continents, which compose less than 50% of the Earth’s surface area and may not reflect motion of the entire mantle–crust system. Additional paleopositional information from the Pacific Basin would significantly enhance coverage of the Earth’s surface and allow more rigorous testing for the occurrence of TPW. We perform paleomagnetic analyses on core samples from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 801B, which were taken from the oldest available Pacific crust, to determine its paleolatitude during the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous (167–133 Ma). We find that the Pacific Plate underwent a steady southward drift of 0.49◦–0.74◦ My−1 except for an interval between Kimmeridgian and Tithonian time (157–147 Ma), during which it underwent northward motion at 1.45◦ ± 0.76◦ My−1 (1σ ). This trajectory indicates that the plates of the Pacific Basin participated in the same large-amplitude (∼30◦) rotation as continental lithosphere in the 160–145 Ma interval. Such coherent motion of a large majority of the Earth’s surface strongly supports the occurrence of TPW, suggesting that a combination of subducting slabs and rising mantle plumes was sufficient to significantly perturb the Earth’s inertia tensor in the Late Jurassic.
Two-dimensional mobile-bed dam-break model
Creators: name: Tang, Gaven
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Sudden and catastrophic dam-breaks typically induce high bed shear stresses downstream as the flood-wave propagates over the alluvial channel and flood plain. In fact, the non-dimensionalized shear stresses are often high enough that they are comparable to those typically seen in the transport of sand. Despite the existence of these shear stresses, industry typically ignores sediment transport altogether and assumes a fixed-bed when modelling dam-breaks. This thesis will examine the validity of the fixed-bed assumption and create a depth-averaged 2D mobile-bed dam-break model. This model will then be tested by simulating the Malpasset (France) dam-break of 1959, and a sensitivity analysis will then be performed on the parameters of grain roughness, vegetation roughness, friction angle, grain size, and depth to bedrock to examine differences in inundation and flood-wave propagation.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A Bayesian modeling approach has been implemented in the COST project to estimate landings and discards at age, along with length and weight at age. The method takes the various different kinds of data commonly available from sampling of commercial fisheries, ie length only samples, length and age samples and length stratified age samples, both for discards and landings, and combines them into a single analysis. Because length-given-age is modeled explicitly, there is no need to create age-length keys, and modeling of the covariates means that empty “cells” (ie combinations of covariates) do not present a problem. The hierarchical nature of the analysis allows data at different stratifications (hauls or trips) to be included, and the uncertainty is fully described in the posterior distributions of the parameters. The modeling approach also allows virtual populations to be simulated, which mean that the results can be compared with known true values and a realistic assessment of the performance made.

description: We study the scattering of a single parton state with a multi-parton state to derive the complete results of perturbative coefficient functions at leading order, which appear in the collinear factorization for Single transverse-Spin Asymmetry(SSA) in Drell-Yan processes with a transversely polarized hadron in the initial state. We find that the factorization formula of SSA contains hard-pole-, soft-quark-pole- and soft-gluon-pole contributions. It is interesting to note that the leading order perturbative coefficient functions of soft-quark-pole- and soft-gluon-pole contributions are extracted from parton scattering amplitudes at one-loop, while the functions of hard-pole contributions are extracted from the tree level amplitudes at tree-level. Our method to derive the factorization of SSA is different than the existing one in literature. A comparison of our results with those obtained by other method is made.

An alternative approach to solving the Hamiltonian constraint
Creators: name: Baumgarte, Thomas W.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Solving Einstein's constraint equations for the construction of black hole initial data requires handling the black hole singularity. Typically, this is done either with the excision method, in which the black hole interior is excised from the numerical grid, or with the puncture method, in which the singular part of the conformal factor is expressed in terms of an analytical background solution, and the Hamiltonian constraint is then solved for a correction to the background solution that, usually, is assumed to be regular everywhere. We discuss an alternative approach in which the Hamiltonian constraint is solved for an inverse power of the conformal factor. This new function remains finite everywhere, so that this approach requires neither excision nor a split into background and correction. In particular, this method can be used without modification even when the correction to the conformal factor is singular itself. We demonstrate this feature for rotating black holes in the trumpet topology.

description: Newmedica Shrewsbury conducted an 8-month retrospective review of all cataract surgery post-operative Cystoid Macular Oedema (CMO) diagnoses, which is one of the most common complications following surgery (Miller et al., 2023). CMO is the retinal thickening of the macula due to a disturbance of the ordinary blood-retinal barrier. This causes an escape of liquid through the perifoveal retinal capillaries which results in an accumulation of fluid within the intracellular spaces of the retina (Feldman et al., 2023).

 The purpose of the review was to discern whether the change in post-operative drop regime impacted the overall CMO incidence at the clinic. Post-operative 'Drop Regime A' consisted of Maxidex 0.1% w/v, eye drops only. Post-operative 'Drop Regime B' consisted of a combination of both Maxidex 0.1% w/v, eye drops and Acular 0.5% w/v eye drops.
 Data collation involved reviewing every surgical patient throughout the defined period, determining which drops were prescribed and then ascertaining whether these patients had any post-operative complications such as CMO.

 After 4-months of data collation for post-operative 'Drop Regime A' (February 2023 - May 2023), the review concluded that on average, 1 in every 56 patients were diagnosed with CMO following cataract surgery. Conversely, following 4-months of data collation for post-operative 'Drop Regime B' (June 2023 - September 2023), the review concluded that on average, no patients were diagnosed with CMO following cataract surgery.

 The evidence within this review highlights a drastic decrease in CMO incidence, an increase in patient experience and reduced morbidity.

description: Let n>2 and X be a Banach space of dimension strictly greater than n. We show there exists a directionally porous set P in X for which the set of C^1 surfaces of dimension n meeting P in positive measure is not meager. If X is separable this leads to a decomposition of X into a countable union of directionally porous sets and a set which is null on residually many C^1 surfaces of dimension n. This is of interest in the study of certain classes of null sets used to investigate differentiability of Lipschitz functions on Banach spaces.

description: This project explores explanations for everyday choices. We introduce a paradigm which, we argue, sorts explanations into “reasons”, which reflect the true motivation for a choice, and “rationalizations”, confabulated to explain the decision (but, in fact, did not shape the decision; Evans & Wason, 1976; Johansson et al., 2005; Nisbett & Wilson, 1977).

description: Extraterrestrial impacts have left a substantial imprint on the climate and evolutionary history of Earth. A rapid carbon cycle perturbation and global warming event about 56 million years ago at the Paleocene-Eocene (P-E) boundary (the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum) was accompanied by rapid expansions of mammals and terrestrial plants and extinctions of deep-sea benthic organisms. Here, we report the discovery of silicate glass spherules in a discrete stratigraphic layer from three marine P-E boundary sections on the Atlantic margin. Distinct characteristics identify the spherules as microtektites and microkrystites, indicating that an extraterrestrial impact occurred during the carbon isotope excursion at the P-E boundary.

description: Poster contribution for the virtual workshop Galaxy Cluster Formation II: Mergers, Protoclusters, and Star Formation in Overdense Environments. Abstract: The physical properties of the faint and extremely tenuous plasma in the far outskirts of galaxy clusters, the circumgalactic media of normal galaxies, and filaments of the cosmic web, remain one of the biggest unknowns in our story of large-scale structure evolution. Modeling the spectral features due to emission and absorption from this very diffuse plasma poses unique challenges, as both collisional and photo-ionisation processes must be accounted for.
 In this paper we study the ionisation by galaxy cluster photons in addition to the photo-ionisation by the cosmic UV/X-ray background and its impact on the ionisation balance. We model realistic spectra by taking into account the cosmic UV/X-ray background together with the emission from three different cool-core galaxy clusters: A262, A1795 and A2029, and illuminate the photo-ionised gas in the galaxy cluster vicinity. We assume the gas has temperatures between $10^{-3}$--$1$\,keV ($\approx 10^4$--$10^7$\,K), densities between $10^{-6}$--$10^{-1}$\,cm$^{-3}$ and can be located between $r_{500}$ and $\sim 13$\,Mpc from the cluster center. We find that depending on the distance from the galaxy cluster and the plasma properties, the total photo-ionisation rate can be higher than $10$\% or even $100$\% of the total ionization rate. We show how this affects the ionisation fractions of \ion{C}{IV}, \ion{C}{V}, \ion{C}{VI}, \ion{N}{VII}, \ion{O}{VI}, \ion{O}{VII}, \ion{O}{VIII}, \ion{Ne}{VIII}, \ion{Ne}{IX} and \ion{Fe}{XVII} ions and compare it with the ionization fractions with photo-ionization from cosmic background only as well as with plasma that is in collisional ionisation equilibrium. We assume a simplified model of a cosmic web filament and predict the column densities for different lines of sight.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The present study focuses on sensitivity analyses regarding the effects of various assumptions about the magnitude of natural mortality (M) on resulting stock assessment parameters and derived references for sustainable fisheries management. The results revealed that the estimated exploitation rate is decreasing and the stock size is increasing with increasing M. The recommended and internationally agreed fisheries management references of sustainable exploitation F0.1 and Fmsy are also found to sensitively react to changes in M. Both F0.1 and Fmsy increase with increasing M. All simulations are based on data from the Baltic sprat (Sub-divisions 22-32), which has historically undergone quite large changes in M. Nevertheless, the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) is demonstrated to be a rather robust estimator over a wide range of M, including species at a rather low trophic level. The trend to underestimate fishing mortality and to overestimate the stock size with high M might deliver, in comparison with actual catches, a positively biased perception of the state of the stock and its productivity. The elevated risk for sustainable fisheries even increases when underestimated fishing mortalities are compared with overestimated management references of exploitation, like F0.1 and Fmsy. It is recommended to base M assumptions in the assessment of exploited resources and the advisory process to fisheries management to the longevity of the species concerned, if no quantitative information about M is available. Furthermore, M should account for the different ontogenetic stages and for changes in fish condition if observed

Tail asymptotics for busy periods

description: The busy period for a queue is cast as the area swept under the random walk until it first returns to zero, $B$. Encompassing non-i.i.d. increments, the large-deviations asymptotics of $B$ is addressed, under the assumption that the increments satisfy standard conditions, including a negative drift. The main conclusions provide insight on the probability of a large busy period, and the manner in which this occurs: I) The scaled probability of a large busy period has the asymptote, for any $b>0$, \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} \log P(B\geq bn) = -K\sqrt{b}, \hbox{where} \quad K = 2 \sqrt{-\int_0^{λ^*} Λ(θ) dθ}, \quad \hbox{with $λ^*=\sup\{θ:Λ(θ)\leq0\}$,} and with $Λ$ denoting the scaled cumulant generating function of the increments process. II) The most likely path to a large swept area is found to be a simple rescaling of the path on $[0,1]$ given by, [ψ^*(t) = -Λ(λ^*(1-t))/λ^*.] In contrast to the piecewise linear most likely path leading the random walk to hit a high level, this is strictly concave in general. While these two most likely paths have very different forms, their derivatives coincide at the start of their trajectories, and at their first return to zero. These results partially answer an open problem of Kulick and Palmowski regarding the tail of the work done during a busy period at a single server queue. The paper concludes with applications of these results to the estimation of the busy period statistics $(λ^*, K)$ based on observations of the increments, offering the possibility of estimating the likelihood of a large busy period in advance of observing one.
