description: To maximize future rewards in this ever-changing world, animals must be able to discover the temporal structure of stimuli and then anticipate or act correctly at the right time. How the animals perceive, maintain, and use time intervals ranging from hundreds of milliseconds to multi-seconds in working memory? How temporal information is processed concurrently with spatial information and decision making? Why there are strong neuronal temporal signals in tasks in which temporal information is not required? A systematic understanding of the underlying neural mechanisms is still lacking. Here, we addressed these problems using supervised training of recurrent neural network models. We revealed that neural networks perceive elapsed time through state evolution along stereotypical trajectory, maintain time intervals in working memory in the monotonic increase or decrease of the firing rates of interval-tuned neurons, and compare or produce time intervals by scaling state evolution speed. Temporal and non-temporal information are coded in subspaces orthogonal with each other, and the state trajectories with time at different non-temporal information are quasi-parallel and isomorphic. Such coding geometry facilitates the decoding generalizability of temporal and non-temporal information across each other. The network structure exhibits multiple feedforward sequences that mutually excite or inhibit depending on whether their preferences of non-temporal information are similar or not. We identified four factors that facilitate strong temporal signals in non-timing tasks, including the anticipation of coming events. Our work discloses fundamental computational principles of temporal processing, and is supported by and gives predictions to a number of experimental phenomena.

description: In this master thesis, a CAPM-GARCH (1,1) model was used to investigate the risk and return profile of Listed Private Equity companies. The database comprised nine indices of the LPX index family, which can be differentiated by region and private equity investment style. The study period covered January 2004 to December 2020, and a robustness check was also conducted to examine the behavior of Listed Private Equity returns before and after the financial crisis. Within the entire study period, all Listed Private Equity indices considered - with the exception of the LPX Indirect-index - were correctly priced. The LPX Indirect-index had a significant positive alpha within this study period, indicating underpricing within this study period. The estimated beta coefficients ranged from 1.28 (LPX America-index) to 0.50 (LPX Indirect-index) during this period. This confirms the findings of previous studies that the returns of Listed Private Equity indices show different exposures to the world stock market depending on the organizational form and investment style. Moreover, since five of the nine Listed Private Equity indices have a beta significantly higher than 1, the majority of the Listed Private Equity indices exhibit high systematic risk. Furthermore, significant ARCH effects could be detected in all return time series of the Listed Private Equity indices. Moreover, it was shown that the long-term volatility persistence is higher than the short-term volatility persistence for all Listed Private Equity indices. Within the pre-crisis period, significant undervaluation was demonstrated for the LPX Buyout-index, the LPX Direct-index, and the LPX Indirect-index. In contrast, the LPX Venture-index was significantly overvalued during the pre-crisis period. The results for the post-crisis period tended to be consistent with those for the entire study period.

description: We consider topological quantum mechanics as an example of topological field theory and show that its special properties lead to numerous interesting relations for topological corellators in this theory. We prove that the generating function $\mathcal{F}$ for thus corellators satisfies the anticommutativity equation $(\mathcal{D}- \mathcal{F})^2=0$. We show that the commutativity equation $[dB,dB]=0$ could be considered as a special case of the anticommutativity equation.

description: In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wird untersucht, wie Fernbeziehungspaare ihre Beziehung aufrechterhalten und welche cybersexuellen Elemente sie dafür brauchen. Der Literaturteil der Arbeit bietet einen umfangreichen Forschungsüberblick über Cybersexualität sowie über Fernbeziehungen. Ebenfalls wird Bezug zur Coronapandemie und deren Auswirkungen auf Fernbeziehungspaare genommen. Auch wurde die Verbreitung von sexpositiver Nutzung von Onlinesex, darunter Cybersex, durch die Coronapandemie vorangetrieben (Döring, 2009; Döring & Walter 2020; Rothmüller 2021). Die vier qualitativen Leitfrageninterviews dienen der Ergänzung der Theorie sowie der Überprüfung der Fragestellungen und der Thesen. Es wurde durch den aktuellen Forschungsüberblick festgestellt, dass cybersexuelle Elemente von Personen gebraucht werden, die in einer Fernbeziehung leben, um ihre Beziehung zu pflegen und sich sexuell nah zu sein. Dabei geht es um das gleichzeitige Versenden und Empfangen von sexuell motivierten Nachrichten (Audio-, Video- und Textnachrichten) mit dem Ziel, das Gegenüber offen über die sexuelle Erregung zu informieren und einzuladen, sexuelle Erregung auszutauschen (Merk et al., 2014; Döring 2004; Döring, 2008). Der Höhepunkt, der Orgasmus, steht bei der Cybersexualität nicht primär im Zentrum, vielmehr der Austausch von sexueller Erregung. Ausserdem wurde ersichtlich, dass Fernbeziehungspaare verbindliche Beziehungen eingehen und Zukunftsabsichten verfolgen.

description: A nearly black, gravitationally intense star of semi-transparent, spherical, massive shell containing a few pointlike light sources inside would be perceived not like a three-dimensional ball for a localized observer outside the shell in terms of the affine or binocular distance. As the radius of the spherical shell approaches the Schwarzschild radius, the perceived distance between the front and rear surfaces of the shell would go to zero, while the images of most of the interior emitters would squeeze around the shell surfaces in terms of the affine or binocular distance. So, the Schwarzschild black hole formed from the star would be thought of as a two-dimensional membrane for the observers who can only measure the binocular distance and/or affine distance. However, the depth information of a point source inside the nearly black star can still be resolved in terms of the radar or luminosity distance, which needs the knowledge about the radar signals or standard candles sent in earlier by the observer outside the star. This suggests that at late times of gravitational collapse the area law of the entropy would dominate over the volume law for outside observers due to the loss of the knowledge about the ingoing probes earlier.

description: We formulate a general model for the growth of scale-free networks under filtering information conditions--that is, when the nodes can process information about only a subset of the existing nodes in the network. We find that the distribution of the number of incoming links to a node follows a universal scaling form, i.e., that it decays as a power law with an exponential truncation controlled not only by the system size but also by a feature not previously considered, the subset of the network ``accessible'' to the node. We test our model with empirical data for the World Wide Web and find agreement.

description: This study investigated seasonal changes in the longitudinal pH gradient of a naturally acidified river and how the attributes of epilithic algae (biomass, abundance, diversity) react to these variations. Five sites were selected on the Río Agrio river for in situ measurements, water sampling, and epilithic algae collection in different seasons from 2007 to 2018. Water pH increased along the length of the river, the average increase being highest in summer (from 2.5 to 7.0, acidity to neutrality) and lowest in spring (from 2.8 to 4.0, acidity to acidity). Conductivity and nutrient and ion concentrations decreased along the length of the river, showing a seasonal pattern of variation mainly influenced by the hydrological cycle. Epilithic algal biomass varied seasonally along the river, generally increasing in summer and decreasing in spring, with seasonal maximum values at different locations mainly associated with the dynamics of iron precipitation and nutrient availability. Species diversity and numbers were low at the most acidic site (regardless of season), but in the remaining sites these attributes tended to increase during summer–autumn and decrease during winter–spring. Statistical analysis showed that differences between sites responded mainly to the chemical gradient of the river and seasonality. Therefore, seasonal changes in the longitudinal chemical gradient of the river imposed differential, changing conditions on the epilithic algae present in each site, allowing identification of characteristic zones and their respective epilithic algal attributes. In the context of proposed models of ecosystem response to stress, similarities with systems acidified by anthropic activities are discussed.

description: By design, crop insurance is well suited to cover temporary or short-term adverse financial conditions for America’s farms. Farmers purchase crop insurance annually to cover losses as a result of either adverse growing conditions or price declines. This study examines the degree to which crop insurance may support farmers’ ability to meet long-term financial obligations. We explore the link between crop insurance coverage and farm solvency using a panel of farm records from 1995 – 2014.

We show that the same phenomenon arises for dendriform and tridendriform family algebras. Then we construct free dendriform family algebras in terms of typed decorated planar binary trees. Finally, we generalize typed decorated rooted trees to typed valently decorated Schröder trees and use them to construct free tridendriform family algebras.

description: Most fruit growers in Central Washington that produce apples or cherries typically grow both. This is interesting given that important sources of complementarities which generate economies of scope, such as crop rotations, that motivate crop diversification throughout agriculture are not present. An alternative explanation is risk mitigation because apple and cherry yields and prices are somewhat uncorrelated. In this paper we attempt to evaluate the relative importance of economies of scope versus risk in motivating orchard crop diversification while accounting for economies of scale. To date, the literature on perennial crop supply response has not considered diversification and thus may be missing an important factor that determines farm level land allocation decisions which influence aggregate supply response.
title: In What Ways did 19th Century Theatre Respond to Contemporary Crime: With a Focus on the Dramatization of Real-Life Cases and Criminals
Creators: name: Twyford, Sarah Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: During the nineteenth century there was a surge in violent crime. The creation of the printing press allowed for the criminal investigations to be printed en masse in the newspapers for the public to read. Without access to the police reports, enquiries or trial documentation, the facts presented by the press became the widely accepted truth of these investigations despite many details being fabricated or opinion based. In this thesis I explore the ways in which real life murder was represented in the newspapers and how these were adapted into theatre productions. With reference to the newspaper's coverage of the crimes, this thesis details the many ways in which theatre across the nineteenth century responded to contemporary crime. The first murder explored in this thesis is the Elstree murder where John Thurtell murdered fellow gambler William Weare in 1823. With neither party truly being a victim, I argue how the changing opinions of criminals and victims portrayed in the press directly affects the theatre's portrayal of the murderer and the murdered on the stage. The second case looks at the Polstead murder where Maria Marten was murdered by her lover William Corder in 1827. What is interesting about this case is the belief that her body was discovered a year later through her mother's recurring dream. This fictitious anecdote taken from the newspaper's coverage on the murder becomes a focal element of the theatre's adaptations, leading to more supernatural and paranormal narratives. The final case study discussed in this thesis is that of the Whitechapel murders which are notoriously associated with 'Jack the Ripper'. Despite the twenty first century belief that the Ripper murdered five women, I discuss how the mass hysteria portrayed in the press lead to fourteen female murder victims being associated with the Ripper, causing his name to be associated with female murders for almost a decade across the world. In contrast to the popularity and constant retelling of the murders both in newspapers and documentaries today, the Ripper case severely lacked theatrical representation.

description: Human perception of water quality that determines utility and behavior may not correspond to often used science-based measures, leading to mismeasurement of implicit prices in hedonic models. This paper seeks to estimate the effect of water quality degradation on the sale price of coastal single-family residential properties using a spatially explicit hedonic approach, while validating the measure of water quality using a behavioral approach. The results show that a combined approach of hedonic modeling and behavioral validation is an important preliminary step in addressing omitted variable and perception biases present in traditional hedonic modeling approaches.

Patient survey on prenatal testing for fetal genetic conditions and traits

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Our aim was to assess patient opinions on prenatal genetic testing to determine which health risks, physical traits, and genetic conditions patients are interested in learning about their unborn child. We analyzed factors such as religion, education, and familiarity with disability to assess whether these influence patient preferences on fetal testing and termination of pregnancy due to a diagnosis. We categorized conditions as benign, mild, moderate and severe. We found that patients were highly motivated to learn about a range of fetal conditions including benign, mild, moderate, and severe conditions via non-invasive testing. However, they were generally only interested in follow up diagnostic fetal testing for severe fetal indications. We found that patients who did not indicate a religious affiliation were 7.5 times more likely to consider/pursue termination due to a fetal indication than those individuals with a religious affiliation. A patient’s level of education and familiarity with disability were not significant factors in determining preferences for prenatal testing and termination for fetal indications. For adult onset conditions, patients were highly motivated for fetal screening using non-invasive technology, but were less inclined to pursue follow up diagnostic testing and significantly less likely to pursue termination, if a fetus was confirmed to be at risk. This raises an ethnical consideration on whether prospective parents have the right to have this information for adult onset conditions. Our data shows some interesting insight into the type of information prospective parents may be interested in learning about their unborn child.

Mittels einer deskriptiven Auswertung von einschlägiger Fachliteratur aus dem deutsch- und englischsprachigen Bereich werden vorhandene Kenntnisse über die Thematik zusammengefasst und Forschungslücken identifiziert. Hierbei werden relevante wissenschaftliche Publikationen aus den Bereichen der Sexualpädagogik und dem Autismus-Spektrum miteinander verglichen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine direkte Verbindung zwischen autismusspezifischen Merkmalen und der sexuellen Sozialisation der Individuen. Dies unterstreicht die Bedeutung der sozialpädagogischen Unterstützung im Rahmen einer umfassenden Aufklärung, die über biologische Fakten hinausgeht. Aufbauend auf den zentralen Erkenntnissen dieser Arbeit werden möglichen Themen einer autismussensiblen Aufklärung konkretisiert und mit möglichen Handlungsinterventionen ergänzt.

In this paper we describe the findings of three independent OSSE/SMM/TGRS studies of positron annihilation radiation, demonstrating that the three studies are largely in agreement as to the distribution of galactic annihilation radiation. We then assess the predicted yields and distributions of SN-synthesized radionuclei, determining that they are marginally compatible with the findings of the annihilation radiation studies.

description: We consider non-linear gravitational models with a multidimensional warped product geometry. Particular attention is payed to models with quadratic scalar curvature terms. It is shown that for certain parameter ranges, the extra dimensions are stabilized if the internal spaces have negative constant curvature. In this case, the 4-dimensional effective cosmological constant as well as the bulk cosmological constant become negative. As a consequence, the homogeneous and isotropic external space is asymptotically AdS. The connection between the D-dimensional and the 4-dimensional fundamental mass scales sets a restriction on the parameters of the considered non-linear models.

description: In this paper we propose a novel observer-based method to improve the safety and security of connected and automated vehicle (CAV) transportation. The proposed method combines model-based signal filtering and anomaly detection methods. Specifically, we use adaptive extended Kalman filter (AEKF) to smooth sensor readings of a CAV based on a nonlinear car-following motion model. Under the assumption of a car-following model, the subject vehicle utilizes its leading vehicle's information to detect sensor anomalies by employing previously-trained One Class Support Vector Machine (OCSVM) models. This approach allows the AEKF to estimate the state of a vehicle not only based on the vehicle's location and speed, but also by taking into account the state of the surrounding traffic. A communication time delay factor is considered in the car-following model to make it more suitable for real-world applications. Our experiments show that compared with the AEKF with a traditional $χ^2$-detector, our proposed method achieves a better anomaly detection performance. We also demonstrate that a larger time delay factor has a negative impact on the overall detection performance.

description: We prove a number of property (T) permanence results for locally compact quantum groups under exact sequences and the presence of invariant states, analogous to their classical versions. Along the way we characterize the existence of invariant weights on quantum homogeneous spaces of quotient type, and relate invariant states for LCQG actions on von Neumann algebras to invariant vectors in canonical unitary implementations, providing an application to amenability. Finally, we introduce a notion of lattice in a locally compact quantum group, noting examples provided by Drinfeld doubles of compact quantum groups. We show that property (T) lifts from a lattice to the ambient LCQG, just as it does classically, thus obtaining new examples of non-classical, non-compact, non-discrete LCQGs with property (T).

description: We consider quantum electrodynamics with additional coupling of spinor fields to the space-time independent axial vector violating both Lorentz and CPT symmetries. The Fock-Schwinger proper time method is used to calculate the one-loop effective action up to the second order in the axial vector and to all orders in the space-time independent electromagnetic field strength. We find that the Chern-Simons term is not radiatively induced and that the effective action is CPT invariant in the given approximation.

description: The theory of the firm suggests that firms should maximize profit by investing in safety until marginal cost is equal to the marginal benefit. This paper addresses motor carrier safety from the perspective of the fi rm, developing the theoretical framework for fi rm safety decisions. Additionally, this paper tests the relationship between fi rm safety performance and safety practices, new safety technologies, and fi rm marketing strategies. By testing the impact of the safety performance marketing strategy on carrier accident rates, it can be shown that firm managers have control over the safety performance of their firms through management decisions.

description: Severe convective storms are among the most dangerous weather phenomena and accurate forecasts mitigate their impacts. The recently released suite of AI‐based weather models produces medium‐range forecasts within seconds, with a skill similar to state‐of‐the‐art operational forecasts for variables on single levels. However, predicting severe thunderstorm environments requires accurate combinations of dynamic and thermodynamic variables and the vertical structure of the atmosphere. Advancing the assessment of AI‐models toward process‐based evaluations lays the foundation for hazard‐driven applications. We assess the forecast skill of the top‐performing AI‐models GraphCast, Pangu‐Weather and FourCastNet for convective parameters at lead‐times up to 10 days against reanalysis and ECMWF's operational numerical weather prediction model IFS. In a case study and seasonal analyses, we see the best performance by GraphCast and Pangu‐Weather: these models match or even exceed the performance of IFS for instability and shear. This opens opportunities for fast and inexpensive predictions of severe weather environments.

description: Long-range effects on the pyroelectric coefficient of a ferroelectric superlattice consisting of two different ferroelectric materials are investigated based on the Transverse Ising Model. The effects of the interfacial coupling and the thickness of one period on the pyroelectric coefficient of the ferroelectric superlattice are studied by taking into account the long-range interaction. It is found that with the increase of the strength of the long-range interaction, the pyroelectric coefficient decreases when the temperature is lower than the phase transition temperature; the number of the pyroelectric peaks decreases gradually and the phase transition temperature increases. It is also found that with the decrease of the interfacial coupling and the thickness of one period, the phase transition temperature and the number of the pyroelectric peaks decrease.

description: Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are important for biological functions. In contrast to folded proteins, molecular recognition among certain IDPs is "fuzzy" in that their binding and/or phase separation are stochastically governed by the interacting IDPs' amino acid sequences while their assembled conformations remain largely disordered. To help elucidate a basic aspect of this fascinating yet poorly understood phenomenon, the binding of a homo- or hetero-dimeric pair of polyampholytic IDPs is modeled statistical mechanically using cluster expansion. We find that the binding affinities of binary fuzzy complexes in the model correlate strongly with a newly derived simple "jSCD" parameter readily calculable from the pair of IDPs' sequence charge patterns. Predictions by our analytical theory are in essential agreement with coarse-grained explicit-chain simulations. This computationally efficient theoretical framework is expected to be broadly applicable to rationalizing and predicting sequence-specific IDP-IDP polyelectrostatic interactions.

description: A research project to determine the appropriate sign inspection and replacement procedure was conducted at North Carolina State University and sponsored by the North Carolina DOT. The purpose was to determine the optimum strategy for sign inspection and replacement under different conditions to respond to the pending retroreflectivity requirements. This paper reports on a spreadsheet tool developed to quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of different sign inspection and replacement scenarios. The spreadsheet was designed for yellow and red engineer-grade sign sheetings, and takes into account sign vandalism and knock-downs as well as normal sign aging. The spreadsheet provides estimates of the number of signs in place that would not meet the minimum retroreflectivity standard and the cost of the sign inspection and replacement program. The results from a number of trials of the spreadsheet show that agencies that generally conform to the key assumptions made to build the spreadsheet should consider replacing all signs every seven years, as that insures that no aged signs are in place at a relatively low cost. If total replacement is not possible, an inspection program using retroreflectometers every three years appears very competitive in its effectiveness with a program using typical visual inspection rates each year. The retroreflectometers appear to allow fewer deficient signs, while the typical visual inspection program costs are lower for a given vandalism rate. More conservative visual sign replacement rates do not appear to offer distinct advantages, because typical replacement rates with visual inspections every two or three years allow relatively high numbers of deficient signs to remain on the roads.

description: Principal component analysis (PCA) is arguably the most widely used dimension-reduction method for vector-type data. When applied to a sample of images, PCA requires vectorization of the image data, which in turn entails solving an eigenvalue problem for the sample covariance matrix. We propose herein a two-stage dimension reduction (2SDR) method for image reconstruction from high-dimensional noisy image data. The first stage treats the image as a matrix, which is a tensor of order 2, and uses multilinear principal component analysis (MPCA) for matrix rank reduction and image denoising. The second stage vectorizes the reduced-rank matrix and achieves further dimension and noise reduction. Simulation studies demonstrate excellent performance of 2SDR, for which we also develop an asymptotic theory that establishes consistency of its rank selection. Applications to cryo-EM (cryogenic electronic microscopy), which has revolutionized structural biology, organic and medical chemistry, cellular and molecular physiology in the past decade, are also provided and illustrated with benchmark cryo-EM datasets. Connections to other contemporaneous developments in image reconstruction and high-dimensional statistical inference are also discussed.
