description: In a study of the ferromagnetic phase of a multilayer digital ferromagnetic semiconductor in the mean-field and effective-mass approximations, we find the exchange interaction to have the dominant energy scale of the problem, effectively controlling the spatial distribution of the carrier spins in the digital ferromagnetic heterostructures. In the ferromagnetic phase, the majority and minority carriers tend to be in different regions of the space (spin separation). Hence, the charge distribution of carriers also changes noticeably from the ferromagnetic to the paramagnetic phase. An example of a design to exploit these phenomena is given.

description: This paper shows how tolling (or pricing) strategies can be used to control the congestion levels of both untolled and high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes. Using a user-equilibrium method, the paper calculates the number of travelers on each route during the peak period and provides a numerical analysis that determines the distribution of travelers for different tolling strategies. It shows that with the right tolling strategy some travelers who initially plan to use the untolled lane during the peak period will change both their routes (i.e., select the HOT lane) and departure times (i.e., depart earlier or later). Using this result, the paper compares static and dynamic pricing strategies and shows that with a dynamic strategy a larger profit can be earned and congestion reduced in the untolled lane.

description: In the last few years, there has been a growing interest in taking advantage of the 360 panoramic images potential, while managing the new challenges they imply. While several tasks have been improved thanks to the contextual information these images offer, object recognition in indoor scenes still remains a challenging problem that has not been deeply investigated. This paper provides an object recognition system that performs object detection and semantic segmentation tasks by using a deep learning model adapted to match the nature of equirectangular images. From these results, instance segmentation masks are recovered, refined and transformed into 3D bounding boxes that are placed into the 3D model of the room. Quantitative and qualitative results support that our method outperforms the state of the art by a large margin and show a complete understanding of the main objects in indoor scenes.

description: This work aimed to evaluate the chemical composition, yield, and antifungal activity of the essential oils (EO) of native species from the ‘Campos de Cima da Serra’ region, South Brazil. The species Aloysia gratissima, Aloysia lycioides, Blepharocalyx salicifolius, Cunila angustifolia, Myrciaria delicatula, Myrcia brasiliensis, Ocimum sp., and Schinus polygama had an EO yield higher than 0.1% v/m. The in vitro antifungal activity of these oils was tested on the fungi Alternaria alternata, Fusarium oxysporum, Botrytis cinerea, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, with an EO concentration of 0.1% v/v. Chemically, the EO of Ocimum sp. presented the highest dissimilarity compared to other species; the EOs of M. delicatula and M. brasiliensis presented the highest degree of similarity. Ocimum sp. EO inhibited the growth of all fungi; the EO of B. salicifolius had no inhibitory effect. The remaining oils had an intermediate antifungal activity which also depended on the fungi species.

description: Older drivers tend to be involved in more severe crashes compared to middle-aged drivers, and U.S. Census Population statistics indicate that the older-driver population is rapidly increasing. Therefore, an improvement in older-driver safety is both important and necessary. In this analysis, a statistical modeling technique was used to identify factors contributing to older-driver injury severity. Two separate models were developed for rural and urban locations, which incorporated several potential explanatory variables. Speed, gender, presence of passengers, road type and street-lighting conditions were found to be important factors affecting injury severity of older drivers on both rural and urban roads.

description: A model of postphotodissociative monomolecular (geminate) recombination of heme proteins with small ligands (NO, O2 or CO) is represented. The non-exponential decay with time for the probability to find a heme in unbound state is interpreted in terms of diffusion-like migration of ligabs physics/0212040 and between protein cavities. The temporal behavior for the probability is obtained from numerical simulation and specified by two parameters: the time τ_{reb} of heme-ligand rebinding for the ligand localized inside the heme pocket and the time τ_{esc} of ligand escape from the pocket. The model is applied in the analysis of available experimental data for geminate reoxygenation of human hemoglobin HbA. Our simulation is in good agreement with the measurements. The analysis shows that the variation in pH of the solution (6.0

description: We have developed and implemented a formalism for computing the structural response of a periodic insulating system to a homogeneous static electric field within density-functional perturbation theory (DFPT). We consider the thermodynamic potentials E(R,eta,e) and F(R,eta,e) whose minimization with respect to the internal structural parameters R and unit cell strain eta yields the equilibrium structure at fixed electric field e and polarization P, respectively. First-order expansion of E(R,eta,e) in e leads to a useful approximation in which R(P) and eta(P) can be obtained by simply minimizing the zero-field internal energy with respect to structural coordinates subject to the constraint of a fixed spontaneous polarization P. To facilitate this minimization, we formulate a modified DFPT scheme such that the computed derivatives of the polarization are consistent with the discretized form of the Berry-phase expression. We then describe the application of this approach to several problems associated with bulk and short-period superlattice structures of ferroelectric materials such as BaTiO3 and PbTiO3. These include the effects of compositionally broken inversion symmetry, the equilibrium structure for high values of polarization, field-induced structural phase transitions, and the lattice contributions to the linear and the non-linear dielectric constants.

description: Using data from surveys conducted in 2004 and 2006, we examine the work and earnings of drayage drivers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Though possessing relatively low levels of education (most have a high school diploma or less), these drivers average approximately $35,000 in earnings net of truck expenses, working on average 11.2 hours per day. Owner operators experience increased net earnings once their trucks are fully paid for, leading them to buy older, more polluting trucks. This negative externality is currently being addressed by both ports by enacting new regulations regarding truck drayage in Southern California.

description: This paper determines the deadweight loss of operating and capital subsidies by extending Tullock’s (1998) work. It finds that when both subsidies are received deadweight loss is 6.83% of total cost or $0.861 million on the average, $0.780 million when operating subsidy is received and $0.0503 million when capital subsidy is received. Decomposing the deadweight loss using regression shows that the incentive tier of the federal operating subsidy, federal labor protection, fleet size, and the number of maintenance facilities owned are positively associated with it while leasing maintenance facilities and absence of dedicated funding sources are negatively associated with it.

description: The ability to forecast freight to support transportation infrastructure decisions is limited by data availability at a level of detail meaningful to the transportation planner. The Freight Analysis Framework Version 2 is a national, comprehensive public freight database. The difficulty that transportation planners encounter when using this data is due to extensive aggregation. In this paper, the authors develop a methodology for creating freight analysis zones (FAZs) at a sub-state level by partitioning a state into meaningful zones that support freight transportation planning and analysis. The authors conclude that FAZs can be used effectively without degrading the quality of the forecasts.

description: The heavy elements formed by neutron capture processes have an interesting history from which we can extract useful clues to and constraints upon both the characteristics of the processes themselves and the star formation and nucleosynthesis history of Galactic matter. Of particular interest in this regard are the heavy element compositions of extremely metal-deficient stars. At metallicities [Fe/H] <= -2.5, the elements in the mass region past barium (A >= 130-140 have been found (in non carbon-rich stars) to be pure r-process products. The identification of an environment provided by massive stars and associated Type II supernovae as an r-process site seems compelling. Increasing levels of heavy s-process (e.g., barium) enrichment with increasing metallicity, evident in the abundances of more metal-rich halo stars and disk stars, reflect the delayed contributions from the low- and intermediate-mass (M \~ 1-3 Msol) stars that provide the site for the main s-process nucleosynthesis component during the AGB phase of their evolution.

description: We used GPS data from paratransit vehicles to evaluate the impact of emergency vehicles on urban traffic speeds. The results indicate that speed variance is significantly higher during emergency preemption and the mean speeds of traffic flowing in the same direction as the emergency vehicle and on crossing streets are lower during preemption than during normal conditions. Regression results indicate that traffic on major arterials and traffic in the opposite direction of the emergency vehicle tend to have higher speed during signal preemption. Signal preemption during peak periods and duration of preemption had a significant negative impact on traffic speeds. Also, the transition time has a negative impact on traffic speeds. The authors recommend further research on how to optimize (minimize) the preemption duration as well as transition time. Also, the impact of median type and number of lanes should be evaluated.

description: The convex envelopes of the direct discrete measures, for the sparsity of vectors or for the low-rankness of matrices, have been utilized extensively as practical penalties in order to compute a globally optimal solution of the corresponding regularized least-squares models. Motivated mainly by the ideas in [Zhang'10, Selesnick'17, Yin, Parekh, Selesnick'19] to exploit nonconvex penalties in the regularized least-squares models without losing their overall convexities, this paper presents the Linearly involved Generalized Moreau Enhanced (LiGME) model as a unified extension of such utilizations of nonconvex penalties. The proposed model can admit multiple nonconvex penalties without losing its overall convexity and thus is applicable to much broader scenarios in the sparsity-rank-aware signal processing. Under the general overall-convexity condition of the LiGME model, we also present a novel proximal splitting type algorithm of guaranteed convergence to a globally optimal solution. Numerical experiments in typical examples of the sparsity-rank-aware signal processing demonstrate the effectiveness of the LiGME models and the proposed proximal splitting algorithm.

description: We present an analytic study of the phase diagram of the one-dimensional t-J model and a couple of its cousins. To deal with the interactions induced by the no double occupancy constraints, we introduce a deformation of the Hubbard operators. When the deformation parameter $Δ$ is small, the induced interactions are softened, accessible by perturbation theory. We combine bososnization with renormalization group techniques to map out the phase diagram of the system. We argue that when $Δ\to 1$, there is no essential change in the phase diagram. Comparison with the existing results in the literature obtained by other methods justifies our deformation approach.

The impact of thermal winds on the outburst lightcurves of black hole X-ray binaries

description: The observed signatures of winds from X-ray binaries are broadly consistent with thermal winds, driven by X-ray irradiation of the outer accretion disc. Thermal winds produce mass outflow rates that can exceed the accretion rate in the disc. We study the impact of this mass loss on the stability and lightcurves of X-ray binaries subject to the thermal-viscous instability, which drives their outbursts. Strong mass loss could shut off outbursts early, as proposed for the 2015 outburst of V404 Cyg. We use an analytical model for thermal (Compton) wind mass loss. Scattering in the strong wind expected of long Porb systems enhances the irradiation heating of the outer disc, keeping it stable against the thermal-viscous instability. This accounts very well for the existence of persistently bright systems with large discs such as Cyg X-2, 1E 1740.7-2942, or GRS 1758-258. Wind mass loss shortens the outburst, as expected, but insufficiently to explain the rapid decay timescale of black hole X-ray binary outbursts. However, varying irradiation due to scattering in the wind produces lightcurves with plateaus in long Porb systems like GRO J1655-40. Mass loss is not a major driver for the outburst dynamics up to luminosities 0.1-0.2 L_Edd. Higher luminosities may produce stronger mass loss but their study is complicated since the wind becomes opaque. Magnetic winds seem more promising to explain the fast decay timescales generically seen in black hole X-ray binaries. Thermal winds can play an important role in the outburst dynamics through the varying irradiation heating. This may be evidenced by relating changes in wind properties, X-ray spectra or luminosity, with changes in the optical emission that traces the outer disc. Simulations should enable more accurate estimates of the dependence of the irradiation onto the disc as a function of irradiation spectrum, radius and disc wind properties.

description: We have investigated electronic structures of antiperovskite GaCMn$_3$ and related Mn compounds SnCMn$_3$, ZnCMn$_3$, and ZnNMn$_3$. In the paramagnetic state of GaCMn$_3$, the Fermi surface nesting feature along the $Γ{\rm R}$ direction is observed, which induces the antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin ordering with the nesting vector {\bf Q} $\sim Γ{\rm R}$. Calculated susceptibilities confirm the nesting scenario for GaCMn$_3$ and also explain various magnetic structures of other antiperovskite compounds. Through the band folding effect, the AFM phase of GaCMn$_3$ is stabilized. Nearly equal densities of states at the Fermi level in the ferromagnetic and AFM phases of GaCMn$_3$ indicate that two phases are competing in the ground state.

description: We study the thermodynamics of a charged black hole surrounded by a perfect fluid in Rastall theory and investigate three different cases of quintessence, dust and radiation fields. By considering thermal fluctuations, we study the corrected thermodynamics of the system. We investigate the effects of thermal fluctuations on the black hole stability, phase transition and critical points. We show that the thermal fluctuations increase instability of the black hole and may yield to the second order phase transition. We also compare our result with uncharged cases to find the effects of the black hole charge on the thermodynamics quantities. We find that large black holes behave like a Van der Waals fluid, while for the small black hole where thermal fluctuations become important, there is no Van der Waals behaviour. Finally, we briefly discuss about geometric thermodynamics to obtain corrected scalar curvature.

This workshop, along with a review of the literature and national data, produced many tangible products. Among these are a better understanding of the perspectives of the participants, the data required and available for freight studies, and the issues that must be dealt with in a regional freight effort.

description: An effect of sheared large-scale motions on a mean electromotive force in a nonrotating turbulent flow of a conducting fluid is studied. It is demonstrated that in a homogeneous divergence-free turbulent flow the alpha-effect does not exist, however a mean magnetic field can be generated even in a nonrotating turbulence with an imposed mean velocity shear due to a new ''shear-current" effect. A contribution to the electromotive force related with the symmetric parts of the gradient tensor of the mean magnetic field (the kappa-effect) is found in a nonrotating turbulent flows with a mean shear. The kappa-effect and turbulent magnetic diffusion reduce the growth rate of the mean magnetic field. It is shown that a mean magnetic field can be generated when the exponent of the energy spectrum of the background turbulence (without the mean velocity shear) is less than 2. The ''shear-current" effect was studied using two different methods: the Orszag third-order closure procedure and the stochastic calculus. Astrophysical applications of the obtained results are discussed.

description: We now have over a decade of experience with regard to alternative approaches to private participation in transport operations and infrastructure in Latin America. At the beginning of the 1990s, virtually all of the region's railways were under public ownership and control. Ten years later, there were only a few, small publicly operated railways. Seaports generally have been concessioned under alternative models. Most airlines have been privatized and airport concessions of varying types have been put in place throughout the region. Toll roads have been developed or extended with varying degrees of success. Policy initiatives to mobilize private financing and participation of the private sector have been achieved with considerable success. Between1990-1999, cumulative long-term international private capital flows to developing countries (excluding foreign direct investment) amounted to over USD 150 billion. Latin America attracted the largest share of any region, about USD60 billion. In addition, Latin America and the Caribbean undertook about USD220 billion of private infrastructure projects/concessions/investments, of which about USD130 billion - USD140 billion involved divestitures of former public infrastructure. The record of the past decade has shown that is possible, even during recurrent emerging market crises, to mobilize private finance. But the larger question remains as to whether this mobilization was accomplished “on whatever terms necessary”, resulting in an uneven distribution of benefits and ambiguous results with respect to social welfare.2 Moreover, the project financing instruments used also have the incentive to promote integrated, monopolistic market structures either to maximize proceeds to the government or to increase the rate of return to the concessionaire. This paper reviews the region’s transport experience, emphasizing lessons learned and their implications for the next generation of transport projects. Section I describes the background and motivations that helped produce reform efforts. Section II describes principal results for each mode. Section III describes different organizational forms used to structure private participation, emphasizing the development of concessions. Section IV discusses concessions and regulatory risk. Section V analyzes the determinants of transport concession performance. Section VI describes concession renegotiations. Section VII draws lessons from this experience for the next generation of transport projects in Latin America.

description: The ab-plane reflectance of a Pr2CuO4 single crystal has been measured over a wide frequency range at a variety of temperatures, and the optical properties determined from a Kramers-Kronig analysis. Above ~ 250 K, the low frequency conductivity increases quickly with temperature; the resistivity follows the form e^(E_a/k_BT), where E_a ~ 0.17 eV is much less than the inferred optical gap of ~ 1.2 eV. Transport measurements show that at low temperature the resistivity deviates from activated behavior and follows the form e^[(T_0/T)^1/4], indicating that the dc transport in this material is due to variable-range hopping between localized states in the gap. The four infrared-active Eu modes dominate the infrared optical properties. Below ~ 200 K, a striking new feature appears near the low-frequency Eu mode, and there is additional new fine structure at high frequency. A normal coordinate analysis has been performed and the detailed nature of the zone-center vibrations determined. Only the low-frequency Eu mode has a significant Pr-Cu interaction. Several possible mechanisms related to the antiferromagnetism in this material are proposed to explain the sudden appearance of this and other new spectral features at low temperature.

description: Various relations have been defined to express refinement and conformance for state-transition systems with inputs and outputs, such as ioco and uioco in the area of model-based testing, and alternating simulation and alternating-trace containment originating from game theory and formal verification. Several papers have compared these independently developed relations, but these comparisons make assumptions (e.g., input-enabledness), pose restrictions (e.g., determinism - then they all coincide), use different models (e.g., interface automata and Kripke structures), or do not deal with the concept of quiescence. In this paper, we present the integration of the ioco/uioco theory of model-based testing and the theory of alternating refinements, within the domain of non-deterministic, non-input-enabled interface automata. A standing conjecture is that ioco and alternating-trace containment coincide. Our main result is that this conjecture does not hold, but that uioco coincides with a variant of alternating-trace containment, for image finite interface automata and with explicit treatment of quiescence. From the comparison between ioco theory and alternating refinements, we conclude that ioco and the original relation of alternating-trace containment are too strong for realistic black-box scenarios. We present a refinement relation which can express both uioco and refinement in game theory, while being simpler and having a clearer observational interpretation.

description: We use several variants of the detrended fluctuation analysis to study the appearance of long-term persistence in temperature records, obtained at 95 stations all over the globe. Our results basically confirm earlier studies. We find that the persistence, characterized by the correlation C(s) of temperature variations separated by s days, decays for large s as a power law, C(s) ~ s^(-gamma). For continental stations, including stations along the coastlines, we find that gamma is always close to 0.7. For stations on islands, we find that gamma ranges between 0.3 and 0.7, with a maximum at gamma = 0.4. This is consistent with earlier studies of the persistence in sea surface temperature records where gamma is close to 0.4. In all cases, the exponent gamma does not depend on the distance of the stations to the continental coastlines. By varying the degree of detrending in the fluctuation analysis we obtain also information about trends in the temperature records.

description: The results of a comparative analysis of three potential river port sites and associated road networks to support mineral development activity in western Alaska are reported in this paper. A 50,000-square-mile area of western Alaska bounded by the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers is experiencing accelerated mineral exploration and mining activity. One potential project, with 11 million ounces of drill measured and indicated gold resources and 16 million ounces of drill inferred gold resources would require annual delivery of between 240,000 and 470,000 tons of fuel and equipment. Geologists estimate that an additional 17 million ounces are likely to be discovered within the study area during the next 25 years. Three potential river port locations and associated road corridors that could support anticipated, large-scale mining operations within the study area evaluated using a benefit-cost study approach. Two of the port and road corridor options generate estimated net present benefit values that exceeded estimated net present cost values. The port and road corridor option with the highest positive net present benefit value may not provide sufficient capacity to meet the area’s logistical requirements, and two ports may be built to support anticipated mineral development activities.
