Forever young? Marx’s Critique of political economy after 200 years
Creators: name: Bellofiore, Riccardo
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Marx, value, money, crisis, macro-monetary theory of capitalist production
subject: B14, B24, B51

description: This article suggests a reconstruction of Marx’s Critique of political economy as a macro-monetary theory of capitalist production. The first part of what follows will provide a sort of methodological introduction to Das Kapital. I am questioning the meaning of critique versus criticism, the distinction between fetish-character and fetishism, the role of dialectics, and the difference between reading, interpreting and reconstructing. I will focus especially on volume I. At the centre of the discussion are: the multiple meanings of abstract labour and socialization, the role of money as a commodity for the labour theory of value, the ‘method of comparison’ in grounding valorisation (the emergence of gross profits) as the constitution of capital from class struggle in production, the unity of absolute and relative surplus value extraction, the key notion of Technologie in the real subsumption of labour to capital, the law of the tendential fall in relative wage, Marx’s two notions of competition, and the macro-monetary class perspective in capitalist reproduction crucial to Capital, volume I. Some considerations are devoted to the transformation problem, the so-called “New Interpretation”, and crisis theory.

Hermite and Laguerre $β$-ensembles: asymptotic corrections to the eigenvalue density

description: We consider Hermite and Laguerre $β$-ensembles of large $N\times N$ random matrices. For all $β$ even, corrections to the limiting global density are obtained, and the limiting density at the soft edge is evaluated. We use the saddle point method on multidimensional integral representations of the density which are based on special realizations of the generalized (multivariate) classical orthogonal polynomials. The corrections to the bulk density are oscillatory terms that depends on $β$. At the edges, the density can be expressed as a multiple integral of the Konstevich type which constitutes a $β$-deformation of the Airy function. This allows us to obtain the main contribution to the soft edge density when the spectral parameter tends to $\pm\infty$.

description: This paper is to summarize problems related to publishing electronic journals of our society and being subsidized by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). Our society has already decided on a plan for archiving our earlier journals. Currently some journals are going through the process of being included on the website of J-Stage (Japan Science and Technology Information Aggregator, Electronic). It is also necessary to propagate the academic research achievements of our society internationally. However, these goals can only be attained at a high cost. At present, we are facing the difficult situation of seeking subsidy from JSPS, in contrast to the grants we long enjoyed in the past. So, our efforts for internationalization and drastic enhancement of the journals is required.
Spallation of r-Process Nuclei Ejected from a Neutron Star Merger

description: Neutron star mergers (NSMs) are rapid neutron capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis sites, which eject materials at high velocities, from 0.1c to as high as 0.6c. Thus the r-process nuclei ejected from a NSM event are sufficiently energetic to initiate spallation reactions with the interstellar medium (ISM) particles. With a thick-target model for the propagation of high-speed heavy nuclei in the ISM, we find that spallation reactions may shift the r-process abundance patterns towards solar data, particularly around the low-mass edges of the r-process peaks where neighboring nuclei have very different abundances. The spallation effects depend both on the astrophysical conditions of the r-process nuclei and nuclear physics inputs for the nucleosynthesis calculations and the propagation process. This work extends that of [Wang et al.(2019)] by focusing on the influence of nuclear physics variations on spallation effects.

description: Currently, the only medium in which research results can be posted in this society is paper; there are three issues annually. However, the number of posts from members is concentrated overwhelmingly in the Special Issue, leading to a shrinking circulation in both English and Japanese. The impact of this situation on, say, inability to acquire research grant, makes the very survival of the Society uncertain; major changes are needed. As a workaround, the Journal should be utilized as a place to announce research for members and employ a unified application of peer review for it. In this paper, I will raise points about future reforms.

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review

Subjects: subject: manufacturing, technological frontier, real exchange rate
subject: O10, O33, L16

description: The main objective of this work is to analyze theoretically and empirically the interrelationships between the real exchange rate (RER) and the economic complexity level in a Keynesian-Structuralist framework for two regions, the (developed) North and the (developing) South. In the analysis presented here, the RER level matters for influencing the industrial (manufacturing) share of GDP as well as the GDP growth rate compatible with the balance-of-payments equilibrium. Higher levels of economic complexity influence the South growth rate, depending on the effects of innovation, knowledge stock, and human capital on international trade. The empirical evidence in panel data suggests that undervalued RER and a higher manufacturing share in the developing-countries sample exhibit positive and significant effects on the economic complexity level.

Learning Context-Adaptive Task Constraints for Robotic Manipulation

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Constraint-based control approaches offer a flexible way to specify robotic manipulation tasks and execute them on robots with many degrees of freedom. However, the specification of task constraints and their associated priorities usually requires a human-expert and often leads to tailor-made solutions for specific situations. This paper presents our recent efforts to automatically derive task constraints for a constraint-based robot controller from data and adapt them with respect to previously unseen situations (contexts). We use a programming-by-demonstration approach to generate training data in multiple variations (context changes) of a given task. From this data we learn a probabilistic model that maps context variables to task constraints and their respective soft task priorities. We evaluate our approach with 3 different dual-arm manipulation tasks on an industrial robot and show that it performs better in terms of reproduction accuracy than constraint-based controllers with manually specified constraints.

description: Epidius Thorell, 1877
 Epidius Thorell, 1877: 492; Simon, 1897: 10; Millot, 1941: 65. Cupa Strand, in Bösenberg & Strand, 1906 (Song & Zhu, 1997:
23, misidentified)
 Type species. – Epidius longipalpis Thorell, 1877, by original designation.
  Diagnosis. –  Small to medium size, Head area narrow, eye tubercles of each side continuous. Chelicera with 3 promarginal and 2 retromarginal teeth, the larger retromarginal one bifid. Legs slender with many spines. Epigyne usually with an atrium and a pair of posterior sclerotized plates. Male tibia with VTA and 4–6 macrosetae in a row.
  Distribution. –  Africa, India, Sri Lanka, Java, Sumatra, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, China.
  Remarks. –  This genus is composed of 9 species from Africa and Southeast Asia. Epidius is a group of poorly known special crab spiders and differs from other genera greatly by their general appearance and genital organs. This genus is similar to Sanmenia in the shape of embolus and conductor of male palp, but can be separated from the latter by: body usually light yellow to gray without markings (gray to grayish-brown with some black-brown stripes or markings in Sanmenia), epigyne usually with a pair of sclerotized plates posteriorly (without those in Sanmenia) and male palp with only VTA (with both VTA and RTA in Sanmenia). After checking the type specimens of Cupa gongi Song & Kim, 1992, (the only representative of the genus Cupa recorded from China), it is found that Cupa gongi Song & Kim, 1992, was misidentified as a representative of the genus Cupa. The male palp of Cupa gongi has a spatulate VTA and a row of macrosetae, which are the typical diagnostic characters of the genus Epidius. Cupa gongi Song & Kim, 1992, should be transferred to the genus Epidius as E. gongi (Song & Kim, 1992). Therefore, there is no real representative of Cupa found in China now.

Quantum causal correlations and non-Markovianity of quantum evolution
Creators: name: Utagi, Shrikant
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A non-Markovianity measure for quantum channels is introduced based on causality measure - a monotone of causal (temporal) correlations - arising out of the pseudo-density matrix (PDM) formalism which treats quantum correlations in space and time on an equal footing. Using the well known damped Jaynes-Cummings model of a two-level system interacting with a bosonic reservoir at zero temperature as an example, it is shown that breakdown of monotonicity of the causality measure is associated with the revival of temporal (causal) correlations hence with the negativity of the decay rate. Also, a note on the comparison with other well known non-Markovianity measures is given.

description: The main symposiums of the AESJ annual meetings have had a tendency toward two biases: first, temporary issues of agricultural and rural policies have been eagerly discussed; second, the senior members aged in their 50s have been dominating the roles of presenters and discussants at these symposiums. These two biases have weakened the strong point of the AESJ, its characteristic of respecting the evidence from a large number of empirical analyses. As a result, low submission rates to Nogyo Keizai Kenkyu (JRE) and JJRE have not improved yet, and the interest of young members in the symposium has continued to decline. This article points out that the biases have split the current AESJ members into three groups, “policy talk lovers," “obligation performers," and “research lovers," then, the AESJ has got trapped in a fallacy of composition. To resolve the biases, the AESJ planning committee asked young researchers including a government official to make presentations with the support of middle and senior discussants in the two business years of 2012 and 2013.
Adiabatic population transfer methods in performing Quantum Computations and their application with Femtosecond Pulses
Creators: name: Menzel-Jones, Cian John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis is based upon the work published in the following two articles entitled: Robust Operation of a Universal Set of Logic Gates for Quantum Computation using Adiabatic Population Transfer between Molecular Levels [37], and Piecewise Adiabatic Passage with a Series of Femtosecond Pulses [54]. Both papers involve using the concept of a quantum control phenomenon, known as adiabatic passage in different manners, in order to achieve particular goals. In the first paper we present a robust construction of a set of logic gates operating on a system of qubits encoded in the ro-vibrational eigenstates of an Na₂ molecule using the optical Adiabatic Population Transfer (APT) method. We demonstrate the operation of a complete universal gate-set for quantum computation on a two-qubit system with gate fidelities approaching 99.99%. Like other APT-based processes, the method is robust against substantial fluctuations in the intensity of the laser pulse. Our construction is easily scalable to dealing with a larger number of qubits. The second line of research developed from the desire to merge the robustness of an adiabatic process, as presented in the previous paper, with the speed and additional level of control available by using pulse shaping techniques of broadband pulses. Therein we develop a method of executing complete population transfers between quantum states in a piecewise manner using a series of femtosecond laser pulses. The method can be applied to a large class of problems as it benefits from the high peak powers and large spectral bandwidths afforded by femtosecond pulses. The degree of population transfer is found to be robust to a wide variation in the absolute and relative intensities, durations, and time ordering of the pulses. The method is studied in detail for atomic sodium where piecewise adiabatic population transfer, as well as the induction of Ramsey-type interferences, is demonstrated.

description: Diese Arbeit hat zum Ziel, den Effekt der Vermittlung von Schreibstrategien und Hintergrundwissen, sowie dem angeleiteten kooperativen Einüben des Planens und Überarbeitens von Geschichten auf die Schreibkompetenz und die Schreibmotivation zu untersuchen. Folglich steht der Schreibprozess im Vordergrund, während der verfasste Text als Produkt eines mehr oder weniger gelungenen Prozesses betrachtet und beurteilt wird. Weiter soll durch dieses Forschungsprojekt das Wissen der Schulischen Heilpädagogin im Bereich der Schreibförderung und die Schreibkompetenzen der Schülerinnen und Schüler weiter ausgebaut werden. Dazu wurden basierend auf dem theoretischen Ansatz des «Selbstregulierten Schreibens» Schülerinnen und Schüler einer 3. Klasse während acht Wochen angeleitet, durch ein klar strukturiertes, schrittweises Vorgehen, ihren Schreibprozess eigenständig zu steuern. Gleichzeitig wurde sprachliches Hintergrundwissen zu narrativen Texten vermittelt. In diesem Projekt erforscht die Lehrperson ihren eigenen Unterricht und hat somit zwei unterschiedliche Rollen inne: Als Forscherin führt sie gleichzeitig die Interventionen durch. Dieses Forschungsdesign lehnt sich an das Konzept der Aktionsforschung an und ist so konzipiert, dass es den entsprechenden Gütekriterien genügt (vgl. Altrichter & Posch, 2007). Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Arbeit weisen darauf hin, dass die vermittelten Lerninhalte die Textquali-tät deutlich positiv beeinflussen. Dieser Effekt ist bei normal begabten Schülerinnen und Schülern auch zu erkennen, wenn nach der Durchführung des Förderprogrammes die Begleitung weniger eng ist. Kinder mit sprachlichen oder kognitiven Beeinträchtigungen sind hingegen weiterhin auf eine klare Steuerung von aussen angewiesen, um bessere Texte zu schreiben. Einen Einfluss auf die Schreibmotivation konnte nicht nachgewiesen werden.

description: During disasters, crisis, and emergencies the public relies on online services provided by official authorities to receive timely alerts, trustworthy information, and access to relief programs. It is therefore crucial for the authorities to reduce risks when accessing their online services. This includes catering to secure identification of service, secure resolution of name to network service, and content security and privacy as a minimum base for trustworthy communication. In this paper, we take a first look at Alerting Authorities (AA) in the US and investigate security measures related to trustworthy and secure communication. We study the domain namespace structure, DNSSEC penetration, and web certificates. We introduce an integrative threat model to better understand whether and how the online presence and services of AAs are harmed. As an illustrative example, we investigate 1,388 Alerting Authorities. We observe partial heightened security relative to the global Internet trends, yet find cause for concern as about 78% of service providers fail to deploy measures of trustworthy service provision. Our analysis shows two major shortcomings. First, how the DNS ecosystem is leveraged: about 50% of organizations do not own their dedicated domain names and are dependent on others, 55% opt for unrestricted-use namespaces, which simplifies phishing, and less than 4% of unique AA domain names are secured by DNSSEC, which can lead to DNS poisoning and possibly to certificate misissuance. Second, how Web PKI certificates are utilized: 15% of all hosts provide none or invalid certificates, thus cannot cater to confidentiality and data integrity, 64% of the hosts provide domain validation certification that lack any identity information, and shared certificates have gained on popularity, which leads to fate-sharing and can be a cause for instability.

Information Erasure and Recover in Quantum Memory

description: We show that information in quantum memory can be erased and recovered perfectly if it is necessary. That the final states of environment are completely determined by the initial states of the system allows that an easure operation can be realized by a swap operation between system and an ancilla. Therefore, the erased information can be recoverd. When there is an irreversible process, e.g. an irreversible operation or a decoherence process, in the erasure process, the information would be erased perpetually. We present that quantum erasure will also give heat dissipation in environment. And a classical limit of quantum erasure is given which coincides with Landauer's erasure principle.

description: [Objectives] In order to explore the feasibility of using straw and biochar returned to the soil to improve soil physical properties and pH value in cold rice regions of China. [Methods] the effects of straw directly returned to the soil and charred straw (biochar) returned to the soil on soil bulk density, porosity, temperature and pH value of cold paddy soil were studied in this paper. [Results] The results showed that compared with conventional production, straw (6 t/ha), a small amount of biochar (2 t/ha) and a large amount of biochar (40 t/ha) returned to the soil reduced paddy soil bulk density at different growth stages by 6.02%-11.86%, 2.69%-6.67% and 8.58%-11.32%, respectively, increased total porosity by 7.41%-14.93%, 3.19%-8.38% and 9.81%-14.27%, respectively, and increased aeration porosity by 22.28%-192.11%, 17.80%-92.11% and 52.44%-157.11%, respectively. Straw and a small amount of biochar returned to the soil had no significant effect on soil temperature and pH value of paddy field, but a large amount of biochar returned to the soil could significantly increase soil temperature by 5.13%-8.79% and pH value by 3.15%-5.96% in the later stage of rice growth. [Conclusions] The straw and biochar returned to the soil could reduce soil bulk density, increase total porosity and aeration porosity, and only a large amount of biochar returned to the soil could significantly increase soil temperature and pH value.

description: Agricultural Economics Society of Japan was established in 1924. Since then, this society has treated the subject of research problems in all areas of agriculture and rural areas. Expanding the research areas, we established research groups for the study of associated fields to engage in a specialized study of specific topics. These groups have developed into academic societies in their own right. In this paper, first of all, we analyze the positioning of the Agricultural Economics Society of Japan. Therefore, we take up several associated academic societies and we consider the interaction of members of these societies and members of the Agricultural Economics Society of Japan. Second, we examine issues and the current status of activities concerning the council of academic societies related to agricultural economics. Finally, we analyze the expansion and interdisciplinary research of agricultural economics.
The AdS/CFT correspondence : classical, quantum, and thermodynamical aspects
Creators: name: Young, Donovan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Certain aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence are studied in detail. We investigate the one-loop mass shift to certain two-impurity string states in light-cone string field theory on a plane wave background. We find that there exist logarithmic divergences in the sums over intermediate mode numbers which cancel between the cubic Hamiltonian and quartic "contact term". Analyzing the impurity non-conserving channel we find that leading, non-perturbative terms predicted in the literature are in fact an artifact of these logarithmic divergences and vanish with them. We also argue that generically, every order in intermediate state impurities contributes to the mass shift at leading perturbative order. The same mass shift is also computed using an improved 3-string vertex proposed by Dobashi and Yoneya. The result is compared with the prediction from non-planar corrections in the BMN limit of N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. It is found to agree at leading order--one-loop in Yang-Mills theory--and is close but not quite in agreement at order two Yang-Mills loops. Furthermore, in addition to the leading non-perturbative power in the 't Hooft coupling, we find that two higher half-integer powers are also miraculously absent. We extend the analysis to include discrete light-cone quantization, considering states with up to three units of p⁺. We study the weakly coupled plane-wave matrix model at finite temperature. This theory has a density of states which grows exponentially at high energy, implying that the model has a phase transition. The transition appears to be of first order. However, its exact nature is sensitive to interactions. We analyze the effect of interactions by computing the relevant parts of the effective potential for the Polyakov loop operator to three loop order. We show that the phase transition is indeed of first order. We also compute the correction to the Hagedorn temperature to two loop order. Finally, correlation functions of 1/4 BPS Wilson loops with the infinite family of 1/2 BPS chiral primary operators are computed in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory by summing planar ladder diagrams. Leading loop corrections to the sum are shown to vanish. The correlation functions are also computed in the strong-coupling limit by examining the supergravity dual of the loop-loop correlator. The strong coupling result is found to agree with the extrapolation of the planar ladders. The result is related to known correlators of 1/2 BPS Wilson loops and 1/2 BPS chiral primaries by a simple re-scaling of the coupling constant, similar to an observation made in the literature, for the case of the 1/4 BPS loop vacuum expectation value.
Neoliberalism in Brazil: An analysis from the viewpoint of the current situation

subject: B25, H11, N16

description: The article analyzes the development of neoliberal thinking in Brazil. The Brazilian experience of neoliberalism is far from the idea of a single discourse and goes beyond a mere external implantation. Rather, it possesses complex nuances. Our analysis starts from the first signs of neoliberalism, going through a period of institutional rooting, with the first public policies that bear that imprint, followed by what is known as its apogee. In this latter phase a more orthodox, hegemonic current was established. The article aims to show both the general neoliberal confluences in the countries of the Southern cone of Latin America and the particularities at the national level of Brazil. These particularities are linked to a more European current of neoliberalism, particularly the Austrian school, and are characterized by institutional breaks and internal regionalisms.

title: Exploring information systems development in English local government : a morphogenetic approach
Creators: name: Horrocks, Ivan
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2006

description: This thesis examines the complex relationships between agency (Le. populations, organised groups,individual actors and collectivities), structure (Le. systems, institutions, roles, positions), and culture(ideas, theories, beliefs and values) in the specific context of cycles of information systems (IS)development and organisational change in English local government. Data for this analysis is drawn from a 15 month longitudinal case study of an English local authority. The morphogenetic approach - anon conflationary approach to the analysis of the agency/structure dynamic devised by Margaret Archer (1988, 1995, 1998b, 1998c, 2002) - was adopted for the research in order to avoid treating either agents or structures as largely epiphenomenal to each other.

A detailed analysis of the IS environment of the case study organisation is presented. It shows how.cycles of IS development and organisational change in general were conditioned and/or shaped and transformed and/or reproduced over time by the agency/structure dynamic. The case study material also represents an example of an 'analytical history of emergence' that Archer (1995:294) proposes should result from the use of the morphogenetic approach.

Detailed evidence of the causal processes, mechanisms, powers and tendencies that may operate in any IS/organisational development context is also analysed and this then forms the basis for a range of 'tendential predictions' to be made concerning the outcomes. Another outcome (of particular significance since Archer's approach to empirical research remains limited) is a valuable assessment of the utility of the morphogenetic approach when applied to the type of largely micro level case study research reported here. This assessment confirms Archer's claims for the approach's value as an instrument for the production of non conflationary practical social theory, but, in addition, a range of issues are identified which demonstrate that, 'without modification, the complexity and resulting resource intensity of the approach may well work against its more widespread adoption for this kind of social science research.

The regime applied some of the earliest and most extensive neoliberal reforms in Latin America, which included labor flexibilization, the end to agrarian reform, capitalization of the countryside, and privatization of public enterprises in almost all sectors, including pension funds, healthcare and education. Unlike the rest of Latin America, after the mid-1980s these reforms produced high growth, although they generated economic inequality and the concentration of wealth. The reforms must be understood in the context of the ideological polarization of the Cold War, which meshed with an internal conflict between views favoring the free market on the one hand and state intervention on the other. This conflict grew after the Depression of 1929 until it could no longer be contained within Chile’s frustrating political and administrative system. JEL codes: B25, D74, P16

description: The present work delineates the course of neoliberal ideas in Peru from 1938 until 1962, when the Universidad del Pacífico was founded. The introduction of neoliberal ideas in Peru springs from two interrelated sources. One is the Austrian economist von Mises, whose ideas have been introduced in Peru by Pedro Beltrán Espantoso through his newspaper La Prensa.The other originates from the Christian Social doctrine of Wilhelm Röpcke in the aftermath of the Second World War and was introduced in Peru by Rómulo Ferrero Rebagliati.

description: We study an integrated silicon photonic chip, composed of several sub-wavelength ridge waveguides, and immersed in a micro-cell with rubidium vapor. Employing two-photon excitation, including a telecom wavelength, we observe that the waveguide transmission spectrum gets modified when the photonic mode is coupled to rubidium atoms through its evanescent tail. Due to the enhanced electric field in the waveguide cladding, the atomic transition can be saturated at a photon number $\approx$ 80 times less than a free-propagating beam case. The non-linearity of the atom-clad Si-waveguide is about 4 orders of magnitude larger than maximum achievable value in doped Si photonics. The measured spectra corroborate well with a generalized effective susceptibility model that includes the Casimir-Polder potentials, due to the dielectric surface, and the transient interaction between flying atoms and the evanescent waveguide mode. This work paves the way towards a miniaturized, low-power, and integrated hybrid atomic-photonic system compatible with CMOS technologies.

description: We evaluate two-meson couplings of Theta+, using experimental information of nucleon resonances decaying into pi pi N channels, in which the two pions are in scalar- and vector-type correlations. We examine two assignments of spin and parity of J^P=1/2^+ and 3/2^-, for which the experimental spectra of known resonances with exotic baryons are properly reproduced by an octet-antidecuplet representation mixing scheme. With the obtained coupling constants, total cross sections of the reactions pi- p -> K- Theta+ and K+ p -> pi+ Theta+ are calculated. Substantial interference of two terms may occur in the reaction processes for the J^P=1/2^+ case, whereas the interference effect is rather small for the 3/2^- case.

Representing multiqubit unitary evolutions: spin coherences and infinitesimal coherences
Creators: name: Altafini, Claudio
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: For the tensor of coherences parametrization of a multiqubit density operator, we provide an explicit formulation of the corresponding unitary dynamics at infinitesimal level. The main advantage of this formalism (clearly reminiscent of the idea of ``coherences'' and ``coupling Hamiltonians'' of spin systems) is that the pattern of correlation between qubits and the pattern of infinitesimal correlation are highlighted simultaneously and can be used constructively for qubit manipulation. For example, it allows to compute explicitly a Rodrigues' formula for the one-parameter orbits of nonlocal Hamiltonians. The result is easily generalizable to orbits of Cartan subalgebras and allows to write the Cartan decomposition of unitary propagators as a linear action.

description: Canker is a quarantine bacterial disease that seriously harms leaves, branches and fruits of citrus, leading to a decrease in the production and affecting the commodity and sales of citrus. Citrus canker has the characteristics of fast spreading speed and difficult radical cure. Through the identification of symptoms and a summary of occurrence regularity, the integrated prevention and control technology for citrus canker is described in this article, in order to achieve effective prevention and control and reduce prevention and control cost.
BL-WoLF: A Framework For Loss-Bounded Learnability In Zero-Sum Games

description: We present BL-WoLF, a framework for learnability in repeated zero-sum games where the cost of learning is measured by the losses the learning agent accrues (rather than the number of rounds). The game is adversarially chosen from some family that the learner knows. The opponent knows the game and the learner's learning strategy. The learner tries to either not accrue losses, or to quickly learn about the game so as to avoid future losses (this is consistent with the Win or Learn Fast (WoLF) principle; BL stands for ``bounded loss''). Our framework allows for both probabilistic and approximate learning. The resultant notion of {\em BL-WoLF}-learnability can be applied to any class of games, and allows us to measure the inherent disadvantage to a player that does not know which game in the class it is in. We present {\em guaranteed BL-WoLF-learnability} results for families of games with deterministic payoffs and families of games with stochastic payoffs. We demonstrate that these families are {\em guaranteed approximately BL-WoLF-learnable} with lower cost. We then demonstrate families of games (both stochastic and deterministic) that are not guaranteed BL-WoLF-learnable. We show that those families, nevertheless, are {\em BL-WoLF-learnable}. To prove these results, we use a key lemma which we derive.

description: This paper analyzes the characteristics and problems of KAEA (Korean Agricultural Economics Association) with a focus on the current status of the organization, its management and academic activity based on the literature, and also presents future issues. KAEA has the longest history and largest membership among related associations. Along with the structural transformation in domestic and foreign agriculture, this standing requires KAEA to reform its function: More specifically, firstly, to improve its leadership in research on Korean agricultural economics with strong responsibility and spirit. Secondly, to construct an independent financial administration system. Thirdly, to broaden the research subjects and diversity methods in its journal. Fourthly, to activate discussion sessions and to provide solutions for academic debates on issues of agricultural policy, agricultural development and rural problems. Finally, to strengthen its function in international communication and cooperation.
Addendum: The SNO Solar Neutrino Data, Neutrinoless Double Beta-Decay and Neutrino Mass Spectrum

description: We update our earlier study in [1], which was inspired by the 2002 SNO data, on the implications of the results of the solar neutrino experiments for the predictions of the effective Majorana mass in neutrinoless double beta-decay, ||. We obtain predictions for || using the values of the neutrino oscillation parameters, obtained in the analyzes of the presently available solar neutrino data, including the just published data from the salt phase of the SNO experiment, the atmospheric neutrino and CHOOZ data and the first data from the KamLAND experiment. The main conclusion reached in ref. [1] of the existence of significant lower bounds on || in the cases of neutrino mass spectrum of inverted hierarchical (IH) and quasi-degenerate (QD) type is strongly reinforced by fact that combined solar neutrino data i) exclude the possibility of cos(2 θ_\odot)=0 at more than 5 s.d., ii) determine as a best fit value cos(2 θ_\odot)=0.40, and ii) imply at 95% C.L. that cos(2 θ_\odot) \geq 0.22, θ_\odot being the solar neutrino mixing angle. For the IH and QD spectra we get using, e.g., the 90% C.L. allowed ranges of values of the oscillation parameters, || \geq 0.010 eV and || \geq 0.043 eV, respectively. We also comment on the possibility to get information on the neutrino mass spectrum and on the CP-violation in the lepton sector due to Majorana CP-violating phases.
