A comparison of penalty shootout designs in soccer

Subjects: subject: Computer Science and Game Theory (cs.GT)

description: Penalty shootout in soccer is recognized to be unfair because the team kicking first in all rounds enjoys a significant advantage. The so-called Catch-Up Rule has been suggested recently to solve this problem but is shown here not to be fairer than the simpler deterministic Alternating (ABBA) Rule that has already been tried. We introduce the Adjusted Catch-Up Rule by guaranteeing the first penalty of the possible sudden death stage to the team disadvantaged in the first round. It outperforms the Catch-Up and Alternating Rules, while remains straightforward to implement. A general measure of complexity for penalty shootout mechanisms is also provided as the minimal number of binary questions required to decide the first-mover in a given round without knowing the history of the penalty shootout. This quantification permits a two-dimensional evaluation of any mechanism proposed in the future.

Career development
Social cognitive career theory
Qualitative study

description: Southeast Asian American (SEAA) (Cambodia American, Hmong American, Laotian American, Vietnamese American) college students have historically been neglected by higher education researchers, policymakers, and practioners. This has contributed to their marginalization misrepresentation in higher education as well as to them being underserved and underrepresented by higher education institutions. This study uses social cognitive career theory (SCCT) as the theoretical framework for examining the impact of the model minority myth and of social cognitive factors (e.g., parents, family, peers, institutional agents) on the career development phenomenon of SEAA. This study is significant because it adds to the dearth of literature on Asian American career development in general and SEAA in particular. It is also significant because it is one of the few studies that employs a qualitative approach to studying the career development of SEAA through the SCCT framework.

description: We explain how masses and matrix elements can be computed in lattice QCD using Schr"odinger functional boundary conditions. Numerical results in the quenched approximation demonstrate that good precision can be achieved. For a statistical sample of the same size, our hadron masses have a precision similar to what is achieved with standard methods, but for the computation of matrix elements such as the pseudoscalar decay constant the Schr"odinger functional technique turns out to be much more efficient than the known alternatives.

description: We wish to report here on a recent approach to the non-commutative calculus on $q$-Minkowski space which is based on the reflection equations with no spectral parameter. These are considered as the expression of the invariance (under the coaction of the $q$-Lorentz group) of the commutation properties which define the different $q$-Minkowski algebras. This approach also allows us to discuss the possible ambiguities in the definition of $q$-Minkowski space ${\cal M}_q$ and its differential calculus. The commutation relations among the generators of ${\cal M}_q$ (coordinates), ${\cal D}_q$ (derivatives), $Λ_q$ (one-forms) and a few invariant (scalar) operators are established and compared with earlier results.

description: Science Fiction (Sci-Fi) brings several examples of modifications made in the human body, each having different goals in mind — it may be either improving or compromising intellectual, physical, or psychological abilities. Lately, with consistent advancements in the Health field, mostly brought about by e-Health startups and the interdisciplinary combination of Biology, Medicine, Computer Science, and Engineering, many of the modifications seen in big screens became a reality, albeit from a weak signal point of view and not yet mainstream solutions to Health issues. Aiming to define the scope of this research, as Sci-Fi works are abundant and take the form of movies, animes, mangas, and books, filtering all of those would be a herculean job. Hence, for this paper, only movies and animes were assessed, according to precepts established in the Methodology section. Taking our society’s progress into consideration, the aims of this work are twofold: (i) knowing to what extent there has already been real scientific progress with regard to science fiction scenarios and predictions of human body transformations; (ii) understanding the repercussions of humans undergoing such modifications applied to several fields, such as Economics, Sociology and Ethics, pinpointing scenarios that should be discussed in preparation for future changes.

description: The Gribov ambiguity problem is studied for compact U(1) lattice theory within the Lorentz gauge. In the Coulomb phase, it is shown that apart from double Dirac sheets all gauge (i.e. Gribov) copies originate mainly from the zero-momentum modes of the gauge fields. The removal of the zero-momentum modes turns out to be necessary for reaching the absolute maximum of the gauge functional $F(θ)$. A new gauge fixing procedure - zero-momentum Lorentz gauge - is proposed.

Generalization of Kirchhoff reflectivity to go beyond modelling and inversion of first-order reflection data -- A review of the theory

Year: 2018

description: We remind and emphasize the connections and differences between Kirchhoff and Born modelling. We discuss how they lead to a general expression for the conversion of a velocity model perturbation into a reflectivity through the "generalized reflectivity" concept. We seize the opportunity to clarify some aspects related to possibly non-smooth propagating media and the linearity approximation on reflectors. The generalized reflectivity offers opportunities: on FWI approaches that include a reflectivity or least squares migration approaches that can be based on Kirchhoff or Born modelling; in the framework of traditional Kirchhoff modelling scheme, to model first-order effects that go beyond first-order reflections (like first-order diffractions); in the framework of traditional Kirchhoff inversion or true amplitude migration, i.e. for the interpretation of seismic-migrated images.

Deconfinement in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory as a center vortex percolation transition

description: By fixing lattice Yang-Mills configurations to the maximal center gauge and subsequently applying the technique of center projection, one can identify center vortices in these configurations. Recently, center vortices have been shown to determine the string tension between static quarks at finite temperatures (center dominance); also, they correctly reproduce the deconfining transition to a phase with vanishing string tension. After verifying center dominance also for the so-called spatial string tension, the present analysis focuses on the global topology of vortex networks. General arguments are given supporting the notion that the deconfinement transition in the center vortex picture takes the guise of a percolation transition. This transition is detected in Monte Carlo experiments by concentrating on various slices through the closed vortex surfaces; these slices, representing loops in lattice universes reduced by one dimension, clearly exhibit the expected transition from a percolating to a non-percolating, deconfined, phase. The latter phase contains a large proportion of vortex loops winding around the lattice in the Euclidean time direction. At the same time, an intuitive picture clarifying the persistence of the spatial string tension in the deconfined phase emerges.

Islam and Gender: Legitimizing Patriarchy in a Ghanaian Muslim Community

subject: Philosophy and religious studies

description: Gender discrimination is ubiquitous and is as old as the emergence of human societies. Women are subjugated and are made to occupy demeaning positions in both private and public life in a socio-cultural structure known as patriarchy. In contemporary Ghana, women in general and Muslim women, in particular, continue to suffer from these injustices due to the persistence of patriarchy. Factors such as culture, tradition and religious beliefs are used to exert influence on women and children. Irrespective of the emphasis Islam places on gender justice and equality between men and women, Ghanaian Muslim women are made to accept the scriptural interpretation which promotes male authority over women and contribute towards the marginalization of the women and children. This thesis was to investigate the extent to which scriptural interpretations of the Muslim scholars and other factors such as culture and tradition promote patriarchy in the Greater Accra Muslim community of Ghana. The research took a qualitative case study design and adopted fieldwork and theological approaches to analyze the data collected. The study showed that although some Muslim scholars address the concerns of some Muslim women, some of the scholars continue to use actions and words to disregard the rights of women and children. It is expected that the findings of this thesis will help address some of the challenges of Muslim women through the application of the recommendation provided and the drafting of gender-related policies in the Muslim community.

Behavior stability and individual differences in Pavlovian extended conditioning

description: How stable and general is behavior once maximum learning is reached? To answer this question and understand post-acquisition behavior and its related individual differences, we propose a psychological principle that naturally extends associative models of Pavlovian conditioning to a dynamical oscillatory model where subjects have a greater memory capacity than usually postulated, but with greater forecast uncertainty. This results in a greater resistance to learning in the first few sessions followed by an over-optimal response peak and a sequence of progressively damped response oscillations. We detected the first peak and trough of the new learning curve in our data, but their dispersion was too large to also check the presence of oscillations with smaller amplitude. We ran an unusually long experiment with 32 rats over 3960 trials, where we excluded habituation and other well-known phenomena as sources of variability in the subjects' performance. Using the data of this and another Pavlovian experiment by Harris et al. (2015), as an illustration of the principle we tested the theory against the basic associative single-cue Rescorla-Wagner (RW) model. We found evidence that the RW model is the best nonlinear regression to data only for a minority of the subjects, while its dynamical extension can explain the almost totality of data with strong to very strong evidence. Finally, an analysis of short-scale fluctuations of individual responses showed that they are described by random white noise, in contrast with the colored-noise findings in human performance.

description: Renormalization group (RG) smoothing is employed on the lattice to investigate and to compare the monopole structure of the SU(2) vacuum as seen in different gauges (maximally Abelian (MAG), Polyakov loop (PG) and Laplacian gauge (LG)). Physically relevant types of monopoles (LG and MAG) are distinguished by their behavior near the deconfining phase transition. For the LG, Abelian projection reproduces well the gauge independent monopole structure encoded in an auxiliary Higgs field. Density and localization properties of monopoles, their non-Abelian action and topological charge are studied. Results are presented confirming the Abelian dominance with respect to the non-perturbative static potential for all gauges considered.

description: —Software development field is becoming more productive day by day with the wonderful model name Agile. Agile is the main focus of research now a days. It is because of its abilities of handling changes in efficient way through iterative and incremental practices. Although it became famous because of its capabilities still there are some issues in it, which is ignorance of usability engineering in different phases of agile that is an important aspect to understand the software. Usability has deep roots in software quality and is a core construct of HCI. To develop interactive and usable systems there is a need of such a model which can integrate HCI with Agile. To address this issue. To solve this issue we have proposed a model which will work with both User Centered (main focus of HCI) and Agile by assembling different practices from both fields which will result useable products. It will enhance software life with user satisfaction by giving them running software with usability.

description: We extend the application of axial Ward identities to calculate $b_A, b_P$ and $b_T$, coefficients that give the mass dependence of the renormalization constants of the corresponding bilinear operators in the quenched theory. The extension relies on using operators with non-degenerate quark masses. It allows a complete determination of the O(a) improvement coefficients for bilinears in the quenched approximation using Ward Identities alone. Only the scale dependent normalization constants $Z_P^0$ (or $Z_S^0$) and $Z_T$ are undetermined. We present results of a pilot numerical study using hadronic correlators.

description: The Fermi polaron refers to a system of free fermions interacting with an impurity particle by means of two-body contact forces. Motivated by the physicists' approach to this system, the present article develops a general mathematical framework for defining many-body Hamiltonians with two-body contact interactions by means of a renormalization procedure. In the case of the Fermi polaron the well-known TMS Hamiltonians are shown to emerge. For the Fermi polaron in a two-dimensional box a novel variational principle, established within the general framework, links the low-lying eigenvalues of the system to the zero-modes of a Birman-Schwinger type operator. It allows us to show, e.g., that the \emph{polaron}- and \emph{molecule} energies, computed in the physical literature, are indeed upper bounds to the ground state energy of the system.

description: In the field of Control and Optimization, there is a growing interest on data-driven learning algorithms, as an alternative to modeling based on first principles, and on distributed and multi-agent systems, which arise in many applications such as power systems, traffic management, and robotics. This thesis focuses on multi-agent systems with Linear Time-Invariant dynamics. Conditions for data-driven distributed system identification using persistently exciting inputs are derived, and a scheme for distributed closed-loop stabilization is proposed. Additionally, a parallel computing solver for Nonlinear Matrix Inequalities (using Linear Matrix Inequality LMI software) is introduced, enabling a non-centralized computation of the stabilization gain.

Subjects: subject: Human-Computer Interaction (cs.HC)

description: Pointing is the task of tracking a target with a pointer and confirming the target selection through a click action when the pointer is positioned within the target. Little is known about the mechanism by which users plan and execute the click action in the middle of the target tracking process. The Intermittent Click Planning model proposed in this study describes the process by which users plan and execute optimal click actions, from which the model predicts the pointing error rates. In two studies in which users pointed to a stationary target and a moving target, the model proved to accurately predict the pointing error rates (R2 = 0.992 and 0.985, respectively). The model has also successfully identified differences in cognitive characteristics among first-person shooter game players.

description: We develop a method for constructing tolerance bounds for functional data with random warping variability. In particular, we define a generative, probabilistic model for the amplitude and phase components of such observations, which parsimoniously characterizes variability in the baseline data. Based on the proposed model, we define two different types of tolerance bounds that are able to measure both types of variability, and as a result, identify when the data has gone beyond the bounds of amplitude and/or phase. The first functional tolerance bounds are computed via a bootstrap procedure on the geometric space of amplitude and phase functions. The second functional tolerance bounds utilize functional Principal Component Analysis to construct a tolerance factor. This work is motivated by two main applications: process control and disease monitoring. The problem of statistical analysis and modeling of functional data in process control is important in determining when a production has moved beyond a baseline. Similarly, in biomedical applications, doctors use long, approximately periodic signals (such as the electrocardiogram) to diagnose and monitor diseases. In this context, it is desirable to identify abnormalities in these signals. We additionally consider a simulated example to assess our approach and compare it to two existing methods.

description: We present results of a large-scale simulation for the flavor non-singlet light hadron spectrum in quenched lattice QCD with the Wilson quark action. Hadron masses are calculated at four values of lattice spacing in the range $a \approx$ 0.1 - 0.05 fm on lattices with a physical extent of 3 fm at five quark masses corresponding to $m_π/m_ρ\approx 0.75$ - 0.4. The calculated spectrum in the continuum limit shows a systematic deviation from experiment, though the magnitude of deviation is contained within 11%. Results for decay constants and light quark masses are also reported.

description: Background
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) with sepsis is a life-threatening condition and identification of synchronous foci of infection is challenging. Positron emission tomography using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose combined with computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) is useful to detect PJI in elective, nonseptic patients. We hypothesized that in patients who have PJI and concomitant sepsis requiring intensive care, 18F-FDG-PET/CT could accurately identify synchronous foci of infection. We addressed the following questions: (1) How often were synchronous foci of infection detected?; (2) What were the confirmation rates of these infection foci by other complementary state-of-the-art methods?; (3) Did 18F-FDG-PET/CT findings result in surgical treatment?; and (4) What is the risk of synchronous PJI in patients who have PJI and concomitant sepsis who have another indwelling arthroplasty?
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed mechanically ventilated septic PJI patients who underwent 18F-FDG-PET/CT between January 1, 2017 and December 21, 2022. The identified synchronous foci of infection were categorized into musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, or other infections and compared to results from tissue culture, histopathology, magnetic resonance imaging, or transesophageal echocardiography.
Results
We identified 17 eligible patients. The 18F-FDG-PET/CT revealed at least one additional infection focus in 15 patients with the following distribution: musculoskeletal (n = 12), cardiovascular (n = 3), pulmonary (n = 13), and other infections (n = 6). Synchronous foci of infection identified with 18F-FDG-PET/CT were confirmed by another state-of-the-art method in 1 all 15 patients. Diagnoses with 18F-FDG-PET/CT led to additional surgery in 11 patients. Of the patients, 10 of 17 had another arthroplasty with a risk in three of synchronous PJI.
Conclusions
We highlight the value of 18F-FDG-PET/CT in patients who have PJI and sepsis, emphasizing its role in the comprehensive evaluation of these patients for subsequent therapeutic decision-making.
Mass spectrum and elastic scattering in the massive SU(2)_f Schwinger model on the lattice

description: We calculate numerically scattering phases for elastic meson-meson scattering processes in the strongly coupled massive Schwinger-model with an SU(2) flavour symmetry. These calculations are based on Luescher's method in which finite size effects in two-particle energies are exploited. The results from Monte-Carlo simulations with staggered fermions for the lightest meson ("pion") are in good agreement with the analytical strong-coupling prediction. Furthermore, the mass spectrum of low-lying mesonic states is investigated numerically. We find a surprisingly rich spectrum in the mass region [m_π,4 m_π].

Do volatile voters vote less correctly? An analysis of correct voting among vote (intention) switchers in US presidential election campaigns

description: The literature on electoral volatility and the literature on electoral campaigns hold contradictory views on voters switching vote (intention) during the campaign. In this note, we shed new light on this contradiction, making two contributions. First, we investigate the extent to which stable and volatile voters choose the correct party. Second, we distinguish levels of correct voting and the impact of the act of switching on the correctness of the vote. Our analyses of vote-switching in American elections show that, while volatile voters are less likely to vote correctly, they are more likely to switch from an incorrect to the correct party than vice versa. Furthermore, we show that following the campaign more closely makes voters more likely to switch vote (intention) towards the correct party.
Want To Prevent Cancer & Reduce Cancer-Related Morbidity? Adoption of a tobacco harm reduction approach can help

description: A submission that seeks to highlight the importance of supporting evidence-informed methods that can more rapidly than ever before assist people to stop smoking. The first section of this submission recaps why reducing tobacco smoking needs to remain a top priority for intervention if the New Zealand Government truly wants to reduce the incidence of cancer overall, and particularly if reducing the health inequities between non-Māori and Māori is a genuine goal. Following consideration of the role of institutional racism, I will discuss the inadequacy of the Eurocentric tobacco control programme that is in itself a barrier to reducing smoking among Māori. I then lay out the rationale for the adoption of a harm reduction approach to tobacco smoking. A Māori tobacco control strategy designed by Māori smoking cessation experts and key informants is also needed. To conclude, I make a number of recommendations that should be seen as a compliment to the many other care and treatment related improvements other submitters will put forward. Assisting the more rapid reduction of smoking is just one important cancer prevention strategy that needs to be done.

description: Tanking, the act of deliberately dropping points or losing a game in order to gain some other advantage, is usually seen as being against the spirit of sports. It can be even more serious if playing a draw is a (weakly) dominant strategy for both teams in a match, since this may lead to collusion. We show that such a situation occurred in a particular football match. As our generalisation reveals, the root of the problem resides in the incentive incompatibility of certain UEFA qualification rules. The governing bodies of major sports should choose strategy-proof tournament designs because of several reasons. First, they may lead to the elimination of a third, innocent team. Second, incentive incompatible rules may discourage both teams from scoring goals, and the players could be interested in improving other match statistics than the number of goals.
