description: NON-VON (Shaw, 1979; Shaw et al. 1981) is a highly parallel machine adapted to the extremely efficient support of certain operations that appear central to a wide range of large-scale, knowledge-based information processing tasks. In order to demonstrate the utility of the NON-VON architecture for large-scale Artificial Intelligence applications, we have implemented a simple knowledge-based retrieval system, with the primitive NON-VON machine instructions emulated in software. The system compares KRL-like descriptions (Bobrow and Winograd, 1977) with the contents of what would be a very large database, retrieving all "matching" descriptions the criteria for description-matching require deductive inference over a domain-specific knowledge base. This paper describes the essential mechanisms in our experimental knowledge-based retrieval system.

description: I was an LLM student here a few years ago, so I am very happy to be back here today. I want to thank Professor Ginsburg for giving me this opportunity and I also want to thank the team from the Kernochan Center for its support. They have invited me to come and talk about cross-border licensing issues in Europe. I do not know how familiar everyone is with all of the things that have been going on in the last ten years in Europe concerning this issue. So, I am going to go through the steps that we have undertaken. At the end, I would like to share with you my ideas about what the future of collective management for online works should be, in Europe and worldwide.

description: As part of our research on very high performance parallel architectures, we have been investigating; machine architectures specially adapted to the highly efficient implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) software. In the course of our research we designed DADO, a highly parallel, VLSI-based, tree-structured machine, and implemented a high-speed algorithm for production systems on a simulator for DADO. Subsequent research has convinced us that DADO can support many other AI applications, including the very rapid execution of PROLOG programs, and a large share of the symbolic processing typical of contemporary knowledge-based systems. In this brief report, we outline the hardware design of a moderate size DADO prototype, comprising 1023 processing elements, which is currently under construction at Columbia University. We then sketch the software base being implemented on a small 15 processing element prototype system including several applications written in PPL/M, a high-level language designed for specifying parallel computations on DADO.

description: We investigate the non-linear evolution of the matter power spectrum by using a large set of high-resolution N-body/hydrodynamic simulations. The linear matter power in the initial conditions is consistently modified to accommodate warm dark matter particles which induce a small scale cut-off in the power as compared to standard cold dark matter scenarios. The impact of such thermal relics is addressed at small scales with k > 1 h/Mpc and at z < 5, which are particularly important for the next generation of Lyman-alpha forest, weak lensing and galaxy clustering surveys. We quantify the mass and redshift dependence of the warm dark matter non-linear matter power and we provide a fitting formula which is accurate at the ~2% level below z=3 and for masses m_wdm > 0.5 keV. The role of baryonic physics (cooling, star formation and feedback recipes) on the warm dark matter induced suppression is also quantified. Furthermore, we compare our findings with the halo model and show their impact on the cosmic shear power spectra.

description: Context: The ESO Public Survey "VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea" (VVV) provides deep multi-epoch infrared observations for an unprecedented 562 sq. degrees of the Galactic bulge, and adjacent regions of the disk. Aims: The VVV observations will foster the construction of a sample of Galactic star clusters with reliable and homogeneously derived physical parameters (e.g., age, distance, and mass, etc.). In this first paper in a series, the methodology employed to establish cluster parameters for the envisioned database are elaborated upon by analyzing a subsample of 4 known young open clusters: Danks 1, Danks 2, RCW 79, and DBS 132. The analysis offers a first glimpse of the information that can be gleaned for the final cluster database from the VVV observations. Methods: Wide-field, deep JHKs VVV observations, combined with new infrared spectroscopy, are employed to constrain fundamental parameters for a subset of clusters. Results: Results inferred from the deep near-infrared photometry which features mitigated uncertainties (e.g. the accuracy of the photometry is better than 0.1mag for Ks<18mag), the wide field-of-view of the VVV survey, and numerous high quality low resolution spectra (typically more than 10 per cluster), are used to establish independent cluster parameters which enable existing determinations to be assessed. An anomalous reddening law in the direction toward the Danks' clusters is found, i.e. E(J-H)/E(H-Ks)=2.20+/-0.06, which exceeds published values for the inner Galaxy. The G305 star forming complex, which includes the Danks' clusters, lies beyond the Sagittarius-Carina spiral arm and occupies the Centaurus arm. Finally, the first deep infrared color-magnitude diagram of RCW 79 is presented which reveal a sizable pre-main sequence population. A list of candidate variable stars in G305 region is reported.

description: We construct a dynamic, stochastic rational expectations model of labor reallocation that is designed so that its key parameters can be estimated for trade policy analysis. A key feature is the presence of time-varying idiosyncratic moving costs faced by workers. As a consequence of these shocks: (i) gross flows exceed net flows (an important feature of empirical labor movements); (ii) the economy features gradual and anticipatory adjustment to aggregate shocks; (iii) wage differentials across locations or industries can persist in the steady state; and (iv) the normative implications of policy can be very different from a model without idiosyncratic shocks, even when the aggregate behavior of both models is similar. It is shown that the solution to a particular planner's problem yields a competitive equilibrium, thus facilitating the analysis and simulation of the model for policy purposes.

description: This study was carried out with the objective of determining the quantity of selected essential and non-essential metals; K, Na, Mg, Ca, Cu, Mn, Cr, Cd, Fe and Zn in the soil. Samples were collected from the low and medium altitudes of Bako (9°N latitude and 37.17°E). Wet acid-digestion using a mixture of aqua regia (1:3 HNO3 to HCl) and H2O2 (6:1 mL) was used. K and Na were analyzed using flame photometry, Ca and Mg were determined titrimetrically and the other metals with flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) after appropriate quality control measures were undertaken to verify and maintain the quality of the data generated. The results of the study showed that the average concentrations of K, Ca, Mg, Na, Cu, Mn, Fe, Zn, Cr and Cd were 2401.38, 8920, 633.19, 628.13, 125.79, 39.66, 38.51, 7.28 and 2.41 mg kg-1 and below method detection limit, respectively in the low-altitude; and 3347.38, 10544, 1935.32, 758.13, 113.12, 25.41, 79.94, 50.95 and 3.52 mg kg-1 and below method detection limit, respectively in the medium-altitude. The metals such as K, Ca, Mg, Na and Cu were generally found to be in higher concentrations than other metals in both samples.

description: 166 countries have some kind of public old age pension. What economic forces create and sustain old-age Social Security as a public program? In the first part of the paper, we document some of the internationally and historically common features of Social Security programs including explicit and implicit taxes on labor supply, pay-as-you-go features, intergenerational redistribution, benefits which are increasing functions of lifetime earnings and not means-tested. The rest of the paper discusses various positive theories of Social Security and compares each of them with the empirical regularities uncovered in the first part. We partition theories into three groups: "political", "efficiency" and "narrative" theories. We explore three political theories: the majority rational voting model (with its two versions: "the elderly as the leaders of a winning coalition with the poor" and the "once and for all election" model), the "time-intensive model of political competition" and the "taxpayer protection model". We then discuss the "efficiency theories," which view creation of the SS program as a full or partial solution to some market failure. Efficiency explanations of social security include the "SS as welfare for the elderly", the "retirement increases productivity to optimally manage human capital externalities", "optimal retirement insurance", "labor market congestion," the "prodigal father problem", the "misguided Keynesian", the "optimal longevity insurance", the "government economizing transaction costs", and the "return on human capital investment" theory. Finally we analyze three "narrative" theories of social security: the "chain letter theory", the "monopoly capitalism theory", and the "Sub-but-Nearly-Optimal policy response to private pensions theory". The political and efficiency explanations are compared with the international and historical facts and used to derive implications for replacing the typical pay-as-you-go system with a forced savings plan. Most of the explanations suggest that forced savings does not increase welfare. In fact, it may decrease it.

Low Skilled Local Labor Demand Shocks and Labor Market Outcomes: Evidence from the Mexican Tequila Crisis
Creators: name: Monras, Joan
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Economics

description: How does immigration affect natives local wages? A vast literature considers this, much of it focused on Mexican immigration to the United States. Prior work emphasizes the importance of instrumenting for immigrant destinations, the key role of experience-skill cells, and the potential for spillovers to national markets. I build on these, using the Mexican ’Tequila Crisis’ of the mid-1990s as an exogenous shock to immigration. Instrumentation thus includes both a time dimension for the shock period, plus a destination dimension as in prior work. The 1.5% immigration shock of the Tequila Crisis lowered the wages of young low skilled US natives by 1 to 1.5 percent. It also prompted interstate labor reallocation. The share of low skilled workers is estimated to decrease by 2 percentage points as a result of the shock. This explains why within five years, national markets adjust, leaving no evidence of differential spatial impact.

description: One of the least explored areas which we are investigating as part of our research on Parallel Architectures and VLSI Systems is the design and analysis of machine architectures specially adapted to the highly efficient implementation of Production Systems (PS) (Davis 1976, Newell 1973, Rychener 1976). Several relatively effective Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs have been written recently demonstrating the suitability of rule-based representations for many applications requiring extensive domain expertise, for example (Davis 1976) and (Buchanan 1969). A has been reported by several researchers, rule-based systems offer an appropriate formalism for acquiring information from human experts, and at the same time are easily implemented and readily modifiable and extendable. It seems only reasonable then that special purpose hardware for the efficient implementation of PSs would be of particular importance for the next generation of AI systems.

description: Rei do Gado is a favela in Recife, Brazil that is considered a result of failed planning and upgrading processes. Rei do Gado is part of Recife's urban fabric and a typical favela where extremely degraded social, economic and environmental conditions impose on its residents a daily struggle to survive. This Master's Degree Project (MOP) uses Rei do Gado as a case study for an exploratory design exercise based on local residents' participation. The MDP's main goal is to contribute to planning processes that lead to the long-term improvement of living conditions in Brazil's favelas. Therefore, the main objective is to develop the conceptual design of a "Tool" that constructs a space of communication in order to enhance the ability of the community, specifically women, to be prepared for, and participate in, an internally driven favela upgrading process. This project takes a progressive approach with three major parts providing the structure for the design process: 'The Problem', 'Towards the Solution' and 'The Solution'. The multidimensional aspects of the problem are defined by first gaining a thorough understanding of the context. Moving towards the solution describes the in-situ design process which culminates in the presentation of a solution, the "Seeing a Favela Environment Handbook" as a "Tool" for replicable use in similar communities. A critical aspect of the "Tool" is its focus on visual methods which capture Rei do Gado's environment and define a way forward as seen through the eyes of local residents.

description: The LHC has started to constrain supersymmetry-breaking parameters by setting bounds on possible colored particles at the weak scale. Moreover, constraints from Higgs physics, flavor physics, the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, as well as from searches at LEP and the Tevatron have set additional bounds on these parameters. Renormalization Group Invariants (RGIs) provide a very useful way of representing the allowed parameter space by making direct connection with the values of these parameters at the messenger scale. Using a general approach, based on the pMSSM parametrization of the soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters, we analyze the current experimental constraints to determine the probability distributions for the RGIs. As examples of their application, we use these distributions to analyze the question of Gaugino Mass Unification and to probabilistically determine the parameters of General and Minimal Gauge Mediation with arbitrary Higgs mass parameters at the Messenger Scale.

description: Aiming to get insight into data literacy of agricultural sector at the University of Zagreb we have investigated presence of education on open data (OD), and using OD for learning in undergraduate and graduate studies. ECTS catalogue of Faculty of agriculture was subjected to document analysis, in order to identify early adopters educating on OD, or using it as educational material. Limited education on OD and OD usage was found. Qualitative descriptive design was used to classify semi-structured interviews with the chosen early adopters, and document analysis of their course materials. Thematic analysis focusing on data skills and knowledge showed that the lowest number of interviews and course materials is connected to developing digital competences of the students, and developing data literacy of the lecturers. The greatest number of references in the interviews and the documents was relating to technical and conceptual skills required to understand and effectively use data, as well as to combine domain knowledge with
 data literacy. Using the existing frameworks to support the OD usage in learning could broaden the learning activities, develop public usage of OD in the agricultural sector in Croatia, and bring momentum to smart and predictive agriculture, precision agriculture, and climate change mitigation.

description: This Master's Degree Project (MDP) addresses the concept of "interface" in urban design practice, as it contributes to the design of urban streets and buildings, and to the quality of design in the public realm. In this MOP, the research focuses on the interface between buildings and the street. The relative theories of the interface space, including the area of the interface spaces, components and structures of the space and the functions of the interface, are discussed. All research work considers both building and street together, and combines urban design and architectural design. Two urban streets in different cultural contexts are critically analyzed to demonstrate how the interface of buildings and the street can affect the quality of the public realm. The two streets analyzed are 17th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and Tsuancheng Road, Jinan, Shandong, P. R. China. Through detailed analysis, the relative design language about interface patterns is developed to guide concept design options, and evaluations and recommendations are made. This MDP deals with issues in urban design practice, especially with buildings and urban streets. The concept of interface also contributes to the interrelationships among other urban components to improve the quality of public realm.

description: Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) are currently becoming a very important sector of most countries economy, particularly in creating ample job opportunity; providing means of livelihood for the low income group. This study was undertaken to determine whether or not the sub sectors of Micro and Small Enterprise (Agriculture, Construction, Small Manufacturing, Merchandising and Service sectors’) had significant differences in accessing capital, labour/human resources and in marketability and profitability. The qualitative and quantitative method has been used as research design. 40% of the MSEs were selected from each sub sector using proportional stratified random sampling technique. The results showed that at α=0.05, there was no significant difference among the sub sectors with respect to capital, marketability and profitability. Among all the factors considered, capital was identified to be the most difficult to access. On the other hand, at α=0.05, the firms have significant difference with respect to labour, particularly, construction sub sector had more access to labour than the service and small manufacturing sub sectors. Besides, the aggregate mean score showed that the trade/merchandising subsector had a good potential and most promising followed by the construction sub sector. Labour was found to be most easily accessible followed by market demand for the subsectors. Moreover, the analysis of secondary data also indicated that construction sub sector was the most promising followed by small manufacturing. It is therefore suggested that respective government body should focus on formulating policies that provides easy access by MSEs to credit, while potential MSEs operators should harness the existing abundant labour resource

description: In 1998, congressional and public sentiment was set ablaze by the publication of a seemingly esoteric academic article by three previously little-known psychologists. The article, in an American Psychological Association ("APA") journal, Psychological Bulletin, challenged the "lay belie[f] that child sexual abuse (CSA) causes intense harm" and concluded that the common construct of child sexual abuse was "of questionable scientific validity." The authors suggested further that psychologists researching child sexuality use different terms, "adultchild sex, a value-neutral term" for "a willing encounter with positive reactions," reserving "child sexual abuse, a term that implies harm to the individual," for a nonconsensual experience accompanied by negative feelings. The National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality ("NARTH"), a group that claims to "help" gays and lesbians rid themselves of "unwanted homosexuality," was the first to comment. NARTH claimed that the APA was attempting to "normalize pedophiles." Dr. Laura Schlessinger agreed, and together with NARTH and the conservative organization Family Research Council, prodded Congress to respond. House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Texas) and Dr. Schlessinger appeared at a press conference convened by the Family Research Council, introducing a bill requiring the APA to renounce the findings of the study. A House Resolution condemning the psychologists' conclusions passed 355 to zero in 1999.8 Looking back on the episode, literary critic Kathryn Bond Stockton comments that "Congress, it would seem, has acted only once to resolve against science: in order to say that children must be harmed."

description: We report extensive measurements on a new compound (Yb0.24Sn0.76)Ru that crystallizes in the cubic CsCl structure. Valence band photoemission and L3 x-ray absorption show no divalent component in the 4f configuration of Yb. Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) indicates that the eight-fold degenerate J-multiplet of Yb3+ is split by the crystalline electric field (CEF) into a Γ7 doublet ground state and a Γ8 quartet at an excitation energy 20 meV. The magnetic susceptibility can be fit very well by this CEF scheme under the assumption that a Γ6 excited state resides at 32 meV; however, the Γ8/Γ6 transition expected at 12 meV was not observed in the INS. The resistivity follows a Bloch- Grüneisen law shunted by a parallel resistor, as is typical of systems subject to phonon scattering with no apparent magnetic scattering. All of these properties can be understood as representing simple local moment behavior of the trivalent Yb ion. At 1 K, there is a peak in specific heat that is too broad to represent a magnetic phase transition, consistent with absence of magnetic reflections in neutron diffraction. On the other hand, this peak also is too narrow to represent the Kondo effect in the Γ7 ground state doublet. On the basis of the field-dependence of the specific heat, we argue that antiferromagnetic shortrange order (possibly co-existing with Kondo physics) occurs at low temperatures. The long-range magnetic order is suppressed because the Yb site occupancy is below the percolation threshold for this disordered compound.

The Solar Photospheric-to-Coronal Fe abundance from X-ray Fluorescence Lines

description: The ratio of the Fe abundance in the photosphere to that in coronal flare plasmas is determined by X-ray lines within the complex at 6.7~keV (1.9~Å) emitted during flares. The line complex includes the He-like Fe (\fexxv) resonance line $w$ (6.70~keV) and Fe K$α$ lines (6.39, 6.40~keV), the latter being primarily formed by the fluorescence of photospheric material by X-rays from the hot flare plasma. The ratio of the Fe K$α$ lines to the \fexxv\ $w$ depends on the ratio of the photospheric-to-flare Fe abundance, heliocentric angle $θ$ of the flare, and the temperature $T_e$ of the flaring plasma. Using high-resolution spectra from X-ray spectrometers on the {\em P78-1} and {\em Solar Maximum Mission} spacecraft, the Fe abundance in flares is estimated to be $1.6\pm 0.5$ and $2.0 \pm 0.3$ times the photospheric Fe abundance, the {\em P78-1} value being preferred as it is more directly determined. This enhancement is consistent with results from X-ray spectra from the {\em RHESSI} spacecraft, but is significantly less than a factor 4 as in previous work.

Algebraic description of external and internal attributes of fundamental fermions

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: To describe external and internal attributes of fundamental fermions, a theory of multi-spinor fields is developed on an algebra, a {\it triplet algebra}, which consists of all the triple-direct-products of Dirac γ-matrices. The triplet algebra is decomposed into the product of two subalgebras, an external algebra and an internal algebra, which are exclusively related with external and internal characteristic of the multi-spinor field named {\it triplet fields}. All elements of the external algebra which is isomorphic to the original Dirac algebra $A_γ$ are invariant under the action of permutation group $S_3$ which works to exchange the order of the $A_γ$ elements in the triple-direct-product. The internal algebra is decomposed into the product of two $4^2$ dimensional algebras, called the family and color algebras, which describe the family and color degrees of freedom. The family and color algebras have fine substructures with "trio plus solo" conformations which are irreducible under the action of $S_3$. The triplet field has trio plus solo family modes with ordinary tricolor quark and colorless solo lepton components. To incorporate the Weinberg-Salam mechanism, it is required to introduce two types of triplet fields, a left-handed doublet and right-handed singlets of electroweak iso-spin. It is possible to qualify the Yukawa interaction and to make a new interpretation of its coupling constants naturally in an intrinsic mechanism of the triplet field formalism.

description: The City of Calgary is one of the fastest growing cities in Canada. With a population of almost a million people the most important issue in the minds of its inhabitants is transportation. One of the most efficient ways of moving people in a city is Light Rail Transit. Calgary's LRT system or C-Train was established in 1981 and is still being developed as the city grows. Although the City of Calgary is committed to expanding its LRT system according to some of the principles of transit oriented development (TODs), to date there has not been a comprehensive approach to incorporating urban design of existing stations and their surrounding neighborhoods, as a way to increase ridership. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate how the Calgary LRT system efficiency can be increased by urban design, retrofitting existing settlements in order to transform them into a physical form that encourages the use of public transit. The study demonstrated that there is a relationship between the variables of density, diversity and design and transit use. The three variables, when combined, can increase transit ridership. By having dense and mixed-use neighbourhoods, the stations can be nodes for employment and recreation while providing a sustainable and accessible form of transportation to the people living around them. The reconfiguration of land with high value for the city as a whole is necessary in order to take advantage of LRT infrastructure and maximize its potential. There are several potential locations where the variables producing true transit oriented developments can be improved, as a way of increasing ridership and consequently reducing the effects of continued sprawl.

Real Exchange Rates in a Model of Structural Change: Applications to the Real Yen-Dollar and Chinese RMB-Dollar Exchange Rates
Creators: name: Dekle, Robert

Year: 2013
Subjects: Economics
International relations

description: We tackle the important issue of what the appropriate trends in the real Yen-Dollar and RMB-Dollar are over time. Over the long-run, the real yen has been appreciating against the U.S. dollar; while the real RMB-dollar rate has been depreciating (until 1999). In this paper, we build a macroeconomic-trade model of Japan-U.S. trade on the one hand, and China-U.S. trade on the other. Our model is essentially a general equilibrium extension of the Balassa-Samuelson effect. We show that these long-run trends in the real yen-dollar and RMB-dollar rates in the data can be justified by our model.

description: Scalar-field dark energy models for tachyon fields are often regarded as an effective description of an underlying theory of dark energy. In this paper, we propose the agegraphic dark energy model in tachyon cosmology by interaction between the components of the dark sectors. In the formalism, the interaction term emerges from the tachyon field nonminimally coupled to the matter Lagrangian in the model rather than being inserted into the formalism as an external source. The model is constrained by the observational data. Based on the best fitted parameters in both original and new agegraphic dark energy scenarios, the model is tested by Sne Ia data. The tachyon potential and tachyon field are reconstructed and coincidence problem is revisited.

Linear-quadratic approximation of optimal policy problems
Creators: name: Benigno, Pierpaolo

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2006
Subjects: Economics

description: We consider a general class of nonlinear optimal policy problems involving forward-looking constraints (such as the Euler equations that are typically present as structural equations in DSGE models), and show that it is possible, under regularity conditions that are straightforward to check, to derive a problem with linear constraints and a quadratic objective that approximates the exact problem. The LQ approximate problem is computationally simple to solve, even in the case of moderately large state spaces and flexibly parameterized disturbance processes, and its solution represents a local linear approximation to the optimal policy for the exact model in the case that stochastic disturbances are small enough. We derive the second-order conditions that must be satisfied in order for the LQ problem to have a solution, and show that these are stronger, in general, than those required for LQ problems without forward-looking constraints. We also show how the same linear approximations to the model structural equations and quadratic approximation to the exact welfare measure can be used to correctly rank alternative simple policy rules, again in the case of small enough shocks.

Subgame-perfect implementation of bargaining solutions
Creators: name: Miyagawa, Eiichi
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2002
Subjects: Economics

description: This paper provides simple four-stage game forms that fully implement a large class of two-person bargaining solutions in subgame-perfect equilibrium. The solutions that can be implemented by our game forms are those that maximize a monotonic and quasi-concave function of utilities after normalizing each agent's utility function so that the maximum utility is 1 and the utility of the disagreement outcome is 0. This class of solutions includes the Nash, Kalai, Smorodinsky, and Relative Utilitarian solutions. The game forms have a structure of alternating offers and contain no integer device.
Early massive clusters and the bouncing coupled dark energy

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The abundance of the most massive objects in the Universe at different epochs is a very sensitive probe of the cosmic background evolution and of the growth history of density perturbations, and could provide a powerful tool to distinguish between a cosmological constant and a dynamical dark energy field. In particular, the recent detection of very massive clusters of galaxies at high redshifts has attracted significant interest as a possible indication of a failure of the standard LCDM model. Several attempts have been made in order to explain such detections in the context of non-Gaussian scenarios or interacting dark energy models, showing that both these alternative cosmologies predict an enhanced number density of massive clusters at high redshifts, possibly alleviating the tension. However, all the models proposed so far also overpredict the abundance of massive clusters at the present epoch, and are therefore in contrast with observational bounds on the low-redshift halo mass function. In this paper we present for the first time a new class of interacting dark energy models that simultaneously account for an enhanced number density of massive clusters at high redshifts and for both the standard cluster abundance at the present time and the standard power spectrum normalization at CMB. The key feature of this new class of models is the "bounce" of the dark energy scalar field on the cosmological constant barrier at relatively recent epochs. We present the background and linear perturbations evolution of the model, showing that the standard amplitude of density perturbations is recovered both at CMB and at the present time, and we demonstrate by means of large N-body simulations that our scenario predicts an enhanced number of massive clusters at high redshifts without affecting the present halo abundance.

Subjects: Economics

description: We study frictionless matching models in large production economies. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for segregation and for positive assortative matching. These conditions focus on the relationship between what we call the segregation payoff- and the feasible set for a pair of types. Our approach is useful for clarifying differences in the behavior of models in the literature. it also provides a basis for understanding the effects of changes in technology or in the severity of market imperfections on equilibrium welfare and matching patterns.
New insights on psychosocial adjustment to pediatric cancer in caregivers
Creators: name: Moseley-Giannelli, Janine V.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: PURPOSE - While survival rates for pediatric cancer have dramatically improved, survivorship comes with its own stressors for this population and (especially) their caregivers, the most salient of which may be uncertainty. Answering a strong demand for modelling research, this study assessed the impact of numerous risk and resilience factors on caregiver emotional adjustment in the context of Mishel’s ‘uncertainty in illness’ (MUIT) framework. Of particular interest was examining the role of positive psychology variables. METHODS - One-hundred fifty-six caregivers of pediatric cancer patients/survivors were recruited. The sample was evenly divided across ‘on’/‘off’ treatment groups and ‘urban’/‘rural’ groups. Forty adolescent patients/survivors also participated, and 41 on-treatment caregivers were re-assessed longitudinally on some baseline questionnaires. Questionnaires sampled socio-demographic and cancer-specific variables, positive and negative thinking, school and family needs, and emotional adjustment. RESULTS - SEM analyses identified a version of the MUIT applicable to these caregivers in which hope, optimism, and benefit finding figured prominently. Hope was a strong predictor of positive and negative outcomes, across baseline and six months’ follow-up, and it (along with perceived mastery and threat) was also a significant mediating variable. In descriptive analyses, school and family needs (especially medically-related) were considered important but often unmet. Surprisingly, proportion of met needs did not vary across urban/rural subgroups, and having needs met (broadly speaking) did not significantly predict any outcome variable. Adolescents did not report any areas of struggle. While caregivers of newly diagnosed patients reported elevated distress, this subsided regardless of treatment status or urban/rural status. Frequent levels of benefit finding were reported by caregivers and teens, and benefit finding significantly predicted hope. Explained variance for most caregiver outcome variables averaged 60%, with the exception of benefit finding (33%). DISCUSSION - This is the first study to explore a pediatric cancer caregiving model of emotional adjustment incorporating the roles of uncertainty, hope and benefit finding. The significant role of positive psychology variables here is suspected to reflect the ‘buffering capacity’ of frequent positive affect. With this improved understanding of caregiver emotional adjustment, we are in a better position to design screening and intervention efforts for this population.
