description: [transcription] Monsieur,

Je vous écris et pour le Père Panel et pour moi, c'est le premier moment que j'ai à moi, je vous le consacre. Pour le Père Panel, fatigué de son voyage de Provence dont il arrive à l'heure même et plein de médailles, il vient de vous nommer parmi des Caracalla, des Gètes, et des Antonins. J'interprète ses intentions et compte qu'il veut que je vous écrive. Il faut entrevoir cela au travers de toutes les antiquailles dont il me parle. Il vous salue donc, vous estime, jusqu'à penser à vous à l'occasion des médailles et inscriptions qu'il se resouvient d'avoir vu chez vous. Voilà tout ce que je puis vous dire pour le présent par rapport à ce révérend. Je reviens à moi.

J'étais si fort embrouillé la dernière fois que je vous ai parlé que je ne sais ce que je vous dit alors. Maintenant que je commence [fol. 2 r] à revenir [rature] des troubles ou les affaires présentes m'avaient jetées, après vous avoir remercié des politesses que j'ai déjà reçues de votre part, je vous demande encore deux grâces que vous m'accorderez s'il vous plaît et que, sûrement, vous ne devez pas me refuser du moins, la 1e qui est une lettre de votre façon sur l'Ugernum et autres antiquités de Nîmes et du voisinage la 2e c'est de voir Monsieur Baux et de lui faire compliment de ma part et de voir à peu près parmi toutes les plantes celles qui me pourraient convenir pour me les envoyer par la 1e occasion. Entre autres plantes, je le prie de m'envoyer des graines du Cucumis citriformis et une plante de l'Asclepias Aegiptiaca. J'en ai pris bien librement avec lui et avec vous, mais c'est ainsi que j'en use avec les amis et je crois que vous ne serez pas fâché que je prenne ce nom avec vous malgré la mode qui n'est plus pour les jésuites.

J'ai l'honneur d'être,

Monsieur,

Votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur.

Sarabat, jés.

Avignon, 24 octobre 1731.

On a promis au Père Panel les inscriptions d'Antibes. Il serait bien aise de savoir si vous les avez. Quoi qu'il n'ait pas trouvé à Aix Monsieur de Mazaugue, il en eut cependant ce que vous souhaitiez.

[fol. 2 v] A Monsieur

Monsieur Séguier

description: We show that there do not exist adaptive confidence bands for curve estimation except under very restrictive assumptions. We propose instead to construct adaptive bands that cover a surrogate function f⋆ which is close to, but simpler than, f. The surrogate captures the significant features in f. We establish lower bounds on the width for any confidence band for f⋆ and construct a procedure that comes within a small constant factor of attaining the lower bound for finite-samples.

description: We investigate the impact of Canada–U.S. trade integration on the degree of industrial specialization of the Canadian regions. Trade integration is captured through the decrease of trade-weighted tariffs that were boosted by the implementation of the Canadian–U.S. Free Trade Agreement. We found strong evidence to support integration’s long-run impact on the patterns of absolute industrial diversification. Significantly, this new finding remains robust to the exclusion of the primary sectors and to the potential presence of unit root in the data. Our results lead us to support a positive long-run relationship between trade integration and industrial diversification. / Nous analysons l’incidence de l’intégration économique canado-américaine sur le degré de spécialisation industrielle des régions canadiennes. Le phénomène d’intégration commerciale entre le Canada et les États-Unis est envisagé sous l’angle de la décroissance des tarifs pondérés par le commerce à laquelle a donné lieu l’Accord de libre-échange Canada-États-Unis. Les résultats étayent largement le point de vue selon lequel la libéralisation des échanges aurait favorisé, à long terme, la diversification industrielle des provinces. Ces résultats apparaissent significativement robustes lorsqu’on inclut une racine unitaire dans les données et qu’on exclut le secteur primaire. Nos résultats nous amènent à prévoir une relation positive à long terme entre l’intégration commerciale et la diversification industrielle.

Eigenstate versus Zeeman-based approaches to the solid-effect

description: The solid effect is one of the simplest and most effective mechanisms for Dynamic Nuclear Polarization. It involves the exchange of polarization between one electron and one nuclear spin coupled via the hyperfine interaction. Even for such a small spin system, the theoretical understanding is complicated by the contact with the lattice and the microwave irradiation. Both being weak, they can be treated within perturbation theory. In this work, we analyze the two most popular perturbation schemes: the Zeeman and the eigenstate-based approaches which differ in the way the hyperfine interaction is treated. For both schemes, we derive from first principles an effective Liouville equation which describes the density matrix of the spin system; we then study numerically the behavior of the nuclear polarization for several values of the hyperfine coupling. In general, we obtain that the Zeeman-based approach underestimates the value of the nuclear polarization. By performing a projection onto the diagonal part of the spin-system density matrix, we are able to understand the origin of the discrepancy, which is due to the presence of parasite leakage transitions appearing whenever the Zeeman basis is employed.

Activized Learning: Transforming Passive to Active with Improved Label Complexity
Creators: name: Hanneke, Steve
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Probability

description: We study the theoretical advantages of active learning over passive learning. Specifically, we prove that, in noise-free classifier learning for VC classes, any passive learning algorithm can be transformed into an active learning algorithm with asymptotically strictly superior label complexity for all nontrivial target functions and distributions. We further provide a general characterization of the magnitudes of these improvements in terms of a novel generalization of the disagreement coefficient. We also extend these results to active learning in the presence of label noise, and find that even under broad classes of noise distributions, we can typically guarantee strict improvements over the known results for passive learning.
Majorana neutrino and the vacuum of Bogoliubov quasiparticle

description: The Lagrangian of the seesaw mechanism is C violating but the same Lagrangian when re-written in terms of Majorana neutrinos is manifestly C invariant. To resolve this puzzling feature, a relativistic analogue of Bogoliubov transformation, which preserves CP but explicitly breaks C and P separately, was introduced together with the notions of a Bogoliubov quasiparticle and an analogue of the energy gap in BCS theory. The idea of Majorana neutrino as Bogoliubov quasiparticle was then suggested. In this paper, we study the vacuum structure of the Bogoliubov quasiparticle which becomes heavy by absorbing the C-breaking. By treating an infinitesimally small C violating term as an analogue of the chiral symmetry breaking nucleon mass in the model of Nambu and Jona-Lasinio, we construct an explicit form of the vacuum of the Bogoliubov quasiparticle which defines Majorana neutrinos in seesaw mechanism. The vacuum of the Bogoliubov quasiparticle thus constructed has an analogous condensate structure as the vacuum of the quasiparticle (nucleon) in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model.

description: This study examines Carmen Guerrero Nakpil’s autobiographical novel, Myself, Elsewhere (2006), in order to show how she 1) establishes herself as a patriotic intellectual who possesses the authority to provide an alternate history of the Philippines under Spanish and American colonial rule; 2) portrays the historical area of Ermita as an exceptional ‘space’ within which Homi K. Bhabha’s concepts of mimicry, ambivalence, and Third Space are manifest to an intense degree; and 3) deconstructs and critiques both forms of Western imperialism, while demonstrating how women’s writing acts as a subversive tool by which to destabilize dominant discourse in the domain of colonial history.

description: Activity of a neuron, even in the early sensory areas, is not simply a function of its local receptive field or tuning properties, but depends on global context of the stimulus, as well as the neural context. This suggests the activity of the surrounding neurons and global brain states can exert considerable influence on the activity of a neuron. In this paper we implemented an L1 regularized point process model to assess the contribution of multiple factors to the firing rate of many individual units recorded simultaneously from V1 with a 96-electrode "Utah" array. We found that the spikes of surrounding neurons indeed provide strong predictions of a neuron's response, in addition to the neuron's receptive field transfer function. We also found that the same spikes could be accounted for with the local field potentials, a surrogate measure of global network states. This work shows that accounting for network fluctuations can improve estimates of single trial firing rate and stimulus-response transfer functions.

description: The survey of Lyman $α$ emitters (LAEs) with Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam, called SILVERRUSH (Ouchi et al.), is producing massive data of LAEs at $z\gtrsim6$. Here we present LAE simulations to compare the SILVERRUSH data. In 162$^3$ comoving Mpc$^3$ boxes, where numerical radiative transfer calculations of reionization were performed, LAEs have been modeled with physically motivated analytic recipes as a function of halo mass. We have examined $2^3$ models depending on the presence or absence of dispersion of halo Ly$α$ emissivity, dispersion of the halo Ly$α$ optical depth, $τ_α$, and halo mass dependence of $τ_α$. The unique free parameter in our model, a pivot value of $τ_α$, is calibrated so as to reproduce the $z=5.7$ Ly$α$ luminosity function (LF). We compare our model predictions with Ly$α$ LFs at $z=6.6$ and $7.3$, LAE angular auto-correlation functions (ACFs) at $z=5.7$ and $6.6$, and LAE fractions in Lyman break galaxies at $5

description: It is a common financial practice to estimate volatility from the sum of frequently-sampled squared returns. However market microstructure poses challenge to this estimation approach, as evidenced by recent empirical studies in finance. This work attempts to lay out theoretical grounds that reconcile continuous-time modeling and discrete-time samples. We propose an estimation approach that takes advantage of the rich sources in tick-by-tick data while preserving the continuous-time assumption on the underlying returns. Under our framework, it becomes clear why and where the ``usual'' volatility estimator fails when the returns are sampled at the highest frequency.

description: We describe a three-stage procedure to analyze the dependence of Poisson Boltzmann calculations on the shape, size and geometry of the boundary between solute and solvent. Our study is carried out within the boundary element formalism, but our results are also of interest to finite difference techniques of Poisson Boltzmann calculations. At first, we identify the critical size of the geometrical elements for discretizing the boundary, and thus the necessary resolution required to establish numerical convergence. In the following two steps we perform reference calculations on a set of dipeptides in different conformations using the Polarizable Continuum Model and a high-level Density Functional as well as a high-quality basis set. Afterwards, we propose a mechanism for defining appropriate boundary geometries. Finally, we compare the classic Poisson Boltzmann description with the Quantum Chemical description, and aim at finding appropriate fitting parameters to get a close match to the reference data. Surprisingly, when using default AMBER partial charges and the rigorous geometric parameters derived in the initial two stages, no scaling of the partial charges is necessary and the best fit against the reference set is obtained automatically
THE CLEANBC INDUSTRIAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM, OUTPUT-BASED REBATING AND CARBON LEAKAGE
Creators: name: Talbot, Melissa
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: This paper aims to investigate the impact of different types of carbon pricing and rebate systems on firm incentives and carbon leakage. I estimate this impact by developing a theoretical model that compares the outcomes from a standard carbon tax without a rebate to the outcomes from introducing two different types of rebate mechanisms. These mechanisms include the CleanBC Industrial Incentive Program (CIIP) and an output-based rebate. In comparison to the standard carbon tax, I find that each rebate mechanism lowers the equilibrium price of output and, therefore, increases equilibrium output, while also mitigating carbon leakage. In this respect, I find that the output-based rebate produces the greatest impact followed by the CIIP. However, the CIIP results in a lower level of emissions intensity compared to the output-based rebate.

description: The Mw 8.3 Illapel earthquake of Spetember 16, 2015, ruptured the Nazca-South America subduction zone for ~200 km along-strike distance. This rupture region is proximal to, but not contiguous with, the rupture regions of the 2010 Maule earthquake, which was extensively studied during the IMAD seismologic and geodetic deployments, and the 1985 Valpariaso, Chile, earthquake. We will deploy 32 seismometers in total to make local and regional recordings of aftershocks of the Illapel earthquake, for at least 5 months, in order to determine details of the main shock rupture extent and aftershock locations and mechanisms, to determine seismic velocity structure of the rupture region and overlying South America crust, and to estimate seismic attenuation and anisotropic structure of this portion of the Nazca-South America plate boundary. We will also attempt to characterize the apparent gap in seismicity between the 2010 M 8.8 and 1985 M>8 earthquake rupture regions (which lie immediately to the south of the gap) and the aftershock activity of the Illapel rupture zone.
Functional integration and gauge ambiguities in generalized abelian gauge theories

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We consider the covariant quantization of generalized abelian gauge theories on a closed and compact n-dimensional manifold whose space of gauge invariant fields is the abelian group of Cheeger-Simons differential characters. The space of gauge fields is shown to be a non-trivial bundle over the orbits of the subgroup of smooth Cheeger-Simons differential characters. Furthermore each orbit itself has the structure of a bundle over a multi-dimensional torus. As a consequence there is a topological obstruction to the existence of a global gauge fixing condition. A functional integral measure is proposed on the space of gauge fields which takes this problem into account and provides a regularization of the gauge degrees of freedom. For the generalized p-form Maxwell theory closed expressions for all physical observables are obtained. The Greens functions are shown to be affected by the non-trivial bundle structure. Finally the vacuum expectation values of circle-valued homomorphisms, including the Wilson operator for singular p-cycles of the manifold, are computed and selection rules are derived.

description: In single star systems like our own Solar system, comets dominate the mass budget of bodies that are ejected into interstellar space, since they form further away and are less tightly bound. However 1I/`Oumuamua, the first interstellar object detected, appears asteroidal in its spectra and in its lack of detectable activity. We argue that the galactic budget of interstellar objects like 1I/`Oumuamua should be dominated by planetesimal material ejected during planet formation in circumbinary systems, rather than in single star systems or widely separated binaries. We further show that in circumbinary systems, rocky bodies should be ejected in comparable numbers to icy ones. This suggests that a substantial fraction of additional interstellar objects discovered in the future should display an active coma. We find that the rocky population, of which 1I/`Oumuamua seems to be a member, should be predominantly sourced from A-type and late B-star binaries.

description: Phase relations in the B-BN system have been studied ex situ and in situ at pressures 2-20 GPa and temperatures up to 2800 K. The evolution of topology of the B-BN phase diagram has been investigated up to 24 GPa using models of phenomenological thermodynamics with interaction parameters derived from our experimental data on phase equilibria at high pressures and high temperatures. There are two thermodynamically stable boron subnitrides in the system i.e. B13N2 and B50N2. Above 16.5 GPa the B50N2 = L + B13N2 peritectic reaction transforms to the solid-phase reaction of B50N2 decomposition into tetragonal boron (t'-B52) and B13N2, while the incongruent type of B13N2 melting changes to the congruent type only above 23.5 GPa. The constructed phase diagram provides fundamentals for directed high-pressure synthesis of superhard phases in the B-BN system.

description: Economic impact studies are the currency of event organizers tasked with justifying public funding. Yet, in the calculation of economic impact, we do not know if residents, as a whole, are a benefit, cost, or neutral party. Building on previous theory we develop a comprehensive model including 72 possible behaviors of residents based on changes in (a) spending, (b) multiplier, (c) timing of expenditures, and (d) geographic location of spending. Applying the model to Super Bowl 50 indicated that few residents were affected, positive and negative effects were relatively equivalent, and overall impact was negligible. This leaves practitioners the option to engage in the challenging process of gathering data on all four variables on all residents or to revert back to the old model of entirely excluding residents from economic impact. From a theoretical perspective, there is a pressing need to properly conceptualize the time variable in economic impact studies.

Debido a lo anterior, se dio la necesidad aportar elementos a la modificación de competencias y perfil de egreso que se ofrece a nivel nacional desde las ciencias sociales, buscando plantear ajustes que estén articulados a nuevas realidades sociales, económicas, políticas y tecnológicas. Se utilizó el enfoque cualitativo de investigación con entrevistas en profundidad a docentes del área de ciencias sociales y expertos en educación media, en consecuencia, se generaron propuestas de modificación de política pública acordes al contexto emergente de las ciencias sociales articulando nuevas habilidades para la resolución de problemas.

Because of this, there was a need to contribute elements for the modification of competencies and graduation profile that is offered at the national level from the social studies, searching to propose adjustments that are articulated to new social reality, economic, political and technological. The qualitative research approach was used with in-depth interviews with teachers in the area of social studies and experts in secondary education, consequently, proposals for public policy modification were created in accordance with the emerging context of the social studies, articulating new skills for problem solving.
A Stochastic Process Approach to False Discovery Rates

description: This paper extends the theory of false discovery rates (FDR) pioneered by Benjamini and Hochberg (1995). We develop a framework in which the False Discovery Proportion (FDP) - the number of false rejections divided by the number of rejections - is treated as a stochastic process. After obtaining the limiting distribution of the process, we demonstrate the validitiy of a class of procedures for controlling the False Discovery Rate (the expected FDP). We construct a confidence envelope for the whole FDP process. From these envelopes we derive confidence thresholds, for controlling the quantiles of the distribution of the FDP as well as controlling the number of false discoveries. We also investigate methods for estimating the p-value distribution.

Post-conflict Programs: Why do barriers continue to exclude women from Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration?
Creators: name: Boutet, Charles
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: This paper seeks to identify why women, despite the numerous calls for action from United Nations agencies, international policies making direct reference to women and girls in conflict, and the global push for gender equality, continue to face barriers when seeking access to Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) programs? Through an analysis of the different components of DDR program design, in particular, with peace agreements, the paper presents the added value that women can have at all levels (e.g. including women’s organizations, female ex-combatants, and mediators) in the development of the terms and conditions of a peace agreement. This paper will substantiate that women’s lived experiences, and their comprehension of deep-rooted societal dynamics, offer an inclusive point of view, contributing to greater availability of DDR programs to the most vulnerable beneficiaries. The paper will define DDR strategies as a way to understand the concepts and challenges of conflict resolution. This is followed by an inquiry into the reasons women join armed groups and the participation of women post-conflict, focusing on the roles they play in the development of peace agreements. Women and youth specific policies will be identified and analyzed against areas of co-operation where the international community could better address the challenges of post-conflict programs. The paper concludes by setting out strategic recommendations devised to enhance program design and inclusion. Ultimately, it cautions that the status quo, a lack of women’s representation at all levels of decision-making, and program design and implementation, maintains inhibitory language which negatively impacts women’s access to post-conflict programs essential to fair, lasting, and gender responsive peace.

description: We evaluate the induced value of Newton's constant which would arise in QCD. The ingredients are modern lattice results, perturbation theory and the operator product expansion. The resulting shift in the Planck mass is positive. A scaled-up version of such a theory may be part of a quantum field theory treatment of gravity.

description: En las modernas sociedades globalizadas los ordenamientos jurídicos parecen favorables a la tendencia de expansión de los instrumentos de tutela colectiva mediante diferentes formas procedimentales. El debate sobre los orígenes de las formas de tutela colectiva no parece actual porque, si se considera la experiencia de los ordenamientos de civil law, no hay dudas sobre las raíces de derecho romano de instrumentos como la acción popular; en cambio, en los ordenamientos de common law se manifiesta la tendencia a considerar el origen de las class actions en las representative suits ingleses que se difundieron en los primeros tiempos del common law.

description: In machine learning, a bias occurs whenever training sets are not representative for the test data, which results in unreliable models. The most common biases in data are arguably class imbalance and covariate shift. In this work, we aim to shed light on this topic in order to increase the overall attention to this issue in the field of machine learning. We propose a scalable novel framework for reducing multiple biases in high-dimensional data sets in order to train more reliable predictors. We apply our methodology to the detection of irregular power usage from real, noisy industrial data. In emerging markets, irregular power usage, and electricity theft in particular, may range up to 40% of the total electricity distributed. Biased data sets are of particular issue in this domain. We show that reducing these biases increases the accuracy of the trained predictors. Our models have the potential to generate significant economic value in a real world application, as they are being deployed in a commercial software for the detection of irregular power usage.

description: Seismic monitoring of a glacial outburst flood initiated by the drainage of an ice-dammed lake. Seismic stations were installed on the glacier, whereas sensors were sunk about three meters into the ice. In total five stations were set up, whereas three stations were equipped with 3-component borehole sensors and two stations with tripartite arrays. The used sensors were 4.5Hz geophones (GS-11D), sampled with 500Hz.
A Statistical Method for Estimating Luminosity Functions using Truncated Data

description: The observational limitations of astronomical surveys lead to significant statistical inference challenges. One such challenge is the estimation of luminosity functions given redshift and absolute magnitude measurements from an irregularly truncated sample of objects. This is a bivariate density estimation problem; we develop here a statistically rigorous method that (1) does not assume a strict parametric form for the bivariate density; (2) does not assume independence between redshift and absolute magnitude (and hence allows evolution of the luminosity function with redshift); (3) does not require dividing the data into arbitrary bins; and (4) naturally incorporates a varying selection function. There is a simple way of estimating the integrated mean squared error of the estimator; smoothing parameters are selected to minimize this quantity. Results are presented from the analysis of a sample of quasars.

description: In contrast to previous studies, this paper uses a multi-sector setting to assess aggregate and sectoral impacts of reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the presence of stochastic productivity shocks. We develop a multi-sector dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model, calibrated to the U.S. economy, to compare the economic implications of reducing carbon emissions with an emissions cap and with an emission tax. As in previous studies, we find that an emission cap predicts lower volatility of aggregate variables than an emission tax. Still, our results point to the importance of going beyond a single-sector analysis in evaluating the relative merits of the cap and the tax policies. The ranking of the welfare costs under the two regimes depends on the sources of productivity shocks. While there is no difference in the welfare costs of the two regimes for productivity shocks originating from non-energy sectors, we find that an emissions cap policy is more costly than an emission tax policy for shocks that originate from the energy sectors. Moreover, we find that non-energy shocks have distinct sectoral impacts under the two regimes even though there are no significant differences between the two regimes for the aggregate variables. / Contrairement aux études précédentes, cet article utilise un cadre multisectoriel pour évaluer les impacts agrégés et sectoriels de la réduction des émissions de dioxyde de carbone en présence de chocs de productivité stochastiques. Nous développons un modèle multisectoriel stochastique d'équilibre général dynamique, calibré sur l’économie des États-Unis, pour comparer les conséquences économiques de la réduction des émissions de carbone en utilisant un plafond d'émissions et une taxe sur les émissions. À l’instar des précédentes études, nous trouvons que la volatilité des variables agrégées est plus faible avec le plafond sur les émissions. Toutefois, nos résultats soulignent l'importance d'aller au-delà d'un modèle à un seul secteur pour évaluer les impacts économiques du plafond sur les émissions et d’une taxe sur les émissions. Le classement des coûts en bien-être des deux régimes dépend de la source des chocs de productivité. Bien qu'il n'y ait aucune différence dans les coûts de bien-être des deux régimes pour les chocs de productivité provenant des industries non-énergétiques, nous notons que le plafonnement des émissions est plus coûteux que la taxe sur les émissions lorsque les chocs proviennent des secteurs de l'énergie. En outre, nous notons que les chocs provenant des secteurs non-énergétiques ont des impacts sectoriels distincts pour les deux régimes, quand bien même il n'y a pas de différences significatives entre les deux régimes au niveau des impacts sur les variables agrégées.

description: The electrons in the edge channels of two-dimensional topological insulators can be described as a helical Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. They couple to nuclear spins embedded in the host materials through the hyperfine interaction, and are therefore subject to elastic spin-flip backscattering on the nuclear spins. We investigate the nuclear-spin-induced edge resistance due to such backscattering by performing a renormalization-group analysis. Remarkably, the effect of this backscattering mechanism is stronger in a helical edge than in nonhelical channels, which are believed to be present in the trivial regime of InAs/GaSb quantum wells. In a system with sufficiently long edges, the disordered nuclear spins lead to an edge resistance which grows exponentially upon lowering the temperature. On the other hand, electrons from the edge states mediate an anisotropic Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida nuclear spin-spin interaction, which induces a spiral nuclear spin order below the transition temperature. We discuss the features of the spiral order, as well as its experimental signatures. In the ordered phase, we identify two backscattering mechanisms, due to charge impurities and magnons. The backscattering on charge impurities is allowed by the internally generated magnetic field, and leads to an Anderson-type localization of the edge states. The magnon-mediated backscattering results in a power-law resistance, which is suppressed at zero temperature. Overall, we find that in a sufficiently long edge the nuclear spins, whether ordered or not, suppress the edge conductance to zero as the temperature approaches zero.
