description: We propose a new methodology for structural estimation of dynamic discrete choice models. We combine the Dynamic Programming (DP) solution algorithm with the Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm into a single algorithm that solves the DP problem and estimates the parameters simultaneously. As a result, the computational burden of estimating a dynamic model becomes comparable to that of a static model. Another feature of our algorithm is that even though per solution-estimation iteration, the number of grid points on the state variable is small, the number of effective grid points increases with the number of estimation iterations. This is how we help ease the "Curse of Dimensionality". We simulate and estimate several versions of a simple model of entry and exit to illustrate our methodology. We also prove that under standard conditions, the parameters converge in probability to the true posterior distribution, regardless of the starting values.
Critical success factors for hypermedia instruction in higher education

description: The research reported in this study involved the development of a survey instrument which was used to gather the perceptions of university faculty regarding the environment for multimedia/hypermedia instructional development at their respective universities. The surveyed faculty had been identified through a literature review as having successfully developed a multimedia/hypermedia instructional project within the past several years. The survey instrument sought to capture their perceptions of the current state of development and the desired future state of development for a variety of factors categorized as either technical, organizational, faculty, student learning, or change factors. These factors as well as the various states of development for each factor as expressed on the Likert-type scale used in the survey were also derived from the literature review and are regarded for the purposes of this study as "critical success factors" in multimedia/hypermedia instructional development. The results of this study indicate that surveyed faculty perceive the current university environment for multimedia/hypermedia instructional development to be one where their own attitudes toward student learning and change are relatively well developed but one where technology and policy regarding faculty empowerment, support and reward is lagging behind. Analysis of the results from this study led to the development of a preliminary model for guiding universities interested in integrating multimedia/hypermedia instruction into their teaching/learning process.

description: We show that the coined quantum walk on a line can be understood as an interference phenomenon, can be classically implemented, and indeed already has been. The walk is essentially two independent walks associated with the different coin sides, coupled only at initiation. There is a simple analogy between the evolution of walker positions and the propagation of light in a dispersive optical fiber.

description: Buprorides gen. nov.
 Diagnosis (female). Cephalosome depressed, subcircular, well-defined from trunk somites by constriction. Urosome wider than long, with small rounded abdomen; caudal rami absent. Rostrum present. Antennule 5-segmented; first segment with 2 setae. Antenna 3-segmented, with 1, 4, and 6 setae on first to third segments, respectively. Labrum broad. Mandible consisting of coxa and 1-segmented palp; coxa with well-developed gnathobase; palp armed with 3 setae distally. Maxillule bilobed; inner lobe (precoxa) with spinulose spines on medial margin; outer lobe (palp) narrower than inner lobe, armed with 4 setae. Maxilla consisting of syncoxa and allobasis; syncoxa broad, with single large mediodistal endite tipped with 2 elements; allobasis with several setae. Maxilliped plate-like, unarmed. Legs 1-4 biramous with 2-segmented rami, armed only with setae; coxa lacking inner seta; intercoxal sclerite not discernible. Basis of leg 1 lacking inner distal element. Leg 5 expanded, lobate, extending over posterior margin of abdomen, armed with 5 naked setae distally.
 Type species. Buprçrẚdes trẚlçbatus gen. et sp. nov. by original designation.
 Etymology. The new genus is named after Buprçrus, the type genus of the family, and the suffix - ẚdes. Gender masculine.
 Remarks. In all three species of Buprçrus, the maxilliped is armed with 4 setae and legs 1-4 have single-segmented endopods. Buprçrẚdes gen. nov. can be distinguished from Buprçrus, because the maxilliped is unarmed and legs 1-4 have 2-segmented endopods. There are other notable differences between the genera, such as, the possession of 3 setae on the mandibular palp in Buprçrẚdes gen. nov. compared with 1 or 2 setae in Buprçrus, and the presence of 6 slender setae on the terminal segment of the antenna rather than 5 setae (some spiniform) in BuprçrusK
 The type species of Buprçrẚdes gen. nov. and Buprçrus nçrdgaardẚ are associated with compound ascidians, but the other two species of Buprçrus are associated with solitary ascidians.

description: We investigate the sensitivity of future searches for the top-Higgs boson Flavour Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) couplings $tqh$~($q= u, c$) at the proposed High Energy Large Hadron Collider~(HE-LHC) and Future Circular Collider in hadron-hadron mode (FCC-hh). We perform a full simulation for two processes in the $h\to γγ$ decay channel (where $h$ is the discovered Higgs state): single top quark FCNC production in association with the Higgs boson (plus a jet) and top quark pair production with FCNC decays $t\to qh$. All the relevant backgrounds are considered in a cut based analysis to obtain the limits on the Branching Ratios (BRs) of $t\to uh$ and $t\to ch$. It is shown that, at the HE-LHC with an integrated luminosity of 15 ab$^{-1}$ and at the FCC-hh with an integrated luminosity of 30 ab$^{-1}$, {{the BR($t\to uh$) (BR($t\to ch$)) can be probed, respectively, to $7.0~(8.5)\times 10^{-5}$ and $2.3~(3.0) \times 10^{-5}$ at the 95\% Confidence Level (CL) (assuming a 10\% systematic uncertainty on the background), which is almost two orders of magnitude better than the current 13 TeV LHC experimental results.

description: The geometric phase has acquired interest for optical devices such as achromatic phase shifters, spatial light modulators, frequency shifters, and planar lenses for wavefront engineering. Numerical work with Reusch piles with a large number of layers per period suggests that the geometric phase of the reflected/transmitted plane wave may be sensitive to nanoscale morphological differences, and the geometric-phase spectrum could contain signatures of morphological details that depend on the fabrication technique.
Budget deficits and current account balances: A theoretical and an empirical investigation of their links in the United States and the United Kingdom

description: This dissertation addresses issues related to the link between budget deficits and current account imbalances in the United States and the United Kingdom. A series of unrestricted vector autoregression (VAR) models are designed to represent alternative theories through the selection of variables and orderings. Granger-causality tests for block exogeneity as well as variance decompositions and impulse response functions with confidence bands are used to test the hypotheses. All estimations use quarterly data for the period 1975-1990. This dissertation finds a relatively weak link between the budget and current account deficits in the U.S., especially after controlling for other variables. The effect of the budget balance on the current account balance in the U.K. is mostly insignificant and often in the wrong direction. Interest rates are found to affect the current account balance in the U.S., mostly through the indirect effect of higher interest rates in inducing an appreciation of the dollar. The current account balance is significantly affected by its own innovations in both countries, and by exchange rates in the U.S. and the saving rate in the U.K. The Ricardian Equivalence Hypothesis (REH) is tested using a neoclassical VAR model. Different versions of neo-Keynesian models are also tested for both the U.S. and the U.K. While the U.S. data are more consistent with general neoclassical models than with the REH, the U.K. data are partly compatible with the REH. The U.S. data are also partly consistent with a neo-Keynesian model of a large country with capital mobility and a flexible exchange rate, while the U.K. data are partly consistent with a Mundell-Fleming model of a small country with a fixed exchange rate. For both countries, it is found that the omission of petroleum prices in the model does not bias the results for the effects of fiscal policy. The real petroleum price does significantly affect the current account balance in the U.K., but not in the U.S. Finally, for both countries, the current account balance has a minor effect on the budget deficit.

description: This paper uses the example of an exam to model multi-dimensional search under a deadline. When the dimension is two, an order-invariance property allows simple characterization of the optimal search policy. Behavior is shown to be highly sensitive to changes in the deadline, and a wide variety of policies can be rationalized (as being optimal) as the length of the deadline increases. This is contrasted with behavior under the traditional case of geometric discounting, in which a similar sensitivity to changes in the discount factor cannot hold. For dimensions higher than two, the invariance principle does not hold; this increases complexity of the problem of finding the optimal search policy.

description: Consumer prices are not very responsive to movements in nominal exchange rates and their response has fallen in Canada since the mid 1980s. This paper explores two of the most likely explanations for this decline in exchange rate pass-through to consumer prices: (1) lower inflation and (2) restructuring in the retail sector. We believe that both explanations are important but our primary focus in this paper is on the second explanation. We discuss the restructuring that has occurred in Canadian retail and trends in mark-ups and concentration in that sector. We argue that to understand these trends, it is important to examine pass-through in industrial organization models with strategic elements. Finally, we present a series of such models and evaluate the effects of various forms of restructuring on mark-ups, concentration, and exchange rate pass-through.

description: Combining the QCD dipole model with the Good and Walker picture, we formulate diffractive dissociation of a photon of virtuality Q^2 off a hadronic target, in the kinematical regime in which Q is close to the saturation scale and much smaller than the invariant mass of the diffracted system. We show how the obtained formula compares to the HERA data and discuss what can be learnt from such a phenomenology. In particular, we argue that diffractive observables in these kinematics provide useful pieces of information on the saturation regime of QCD.

The Reform of Equalization Payments

description: A reasonable and fair interpretation of the mandate for equalization payments in Section 36(2) of the Canadian Constitution differs from the present equalization formula in these respects: Transfers to the poorer provinces would be financed by transfers from the richer provinces rather than from the Federal government. Entitlement to equalization payments would depend on provincial income rather than upon a tax-by-tax comparison of the provinces’ many tax bases. For this comparison, provincial income would include revenue accruing directly to the provincial governments as well as private income of the residents of the province. Compensation would be made for the exemption of provincial resource revenue from Federal income tax. The most pronounced effect of these proposals would be to transfer the greater burden of equalization payments from Ontario to Alberta which is now, by far, the richest province.

description: We discuss the computational complexity of the perturbative evaluation of scattering amplitudes, both by the Caravaglios-Moretti algorithm and by direct evaluation of the individual diagrams. For a self-interacting scalar theory, we determine the complexity as a function of the number of external legs. We describe a method for obtaining the number of topologically inequivalent Feynman graphs containing closed loops, and apply this to one- and two-loop amplitudes. We also compute the number of graphs weighted by their symmetry factors, thus arriving at exact and asymptotic estimates for the average symmetry factor of diagrams. We present results for the asymptotic number of diagrams up to 10 loops, and prove that the average symmetry factor approaches unity as the number of external legs becomes large.

description: Instead of adhering to the usual explanation of the Cronin effect in terms of the broadening of the parton transverse momentum in the initial state, we show that the enhancement of hadron production at moderate $p_T$ in d+Au collisions is due to the recombination of soft and shower partons in the final state. Such a mechanism can readily explain the decrease of the Cronin effect with increasing rapidity. Furthermore, the effect should be larger for protons than for pions.

description: BACKGROUND: The neurocognitive mechanisms underlying autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remain unclear. Progress has been largely hampered by small sample sizes, variable age ranges and resulting inconsistent findings. There is a pressing need for large definitive studies to delineate the nature and extent of key case/control differences to direct research towards fruitful areas for future investigation. Here we focus on perception of biological motion, a promising index of social brain function which may be altered in ASD. In a large sample ranging from childhood to adulthood, we assess whether biological motion preference differs in ASD compared to neurotypical participants (NT), how differences are modulated by age and sex and whether they are associated with dimensional variation in concurrent or later symptomatology. METHODS: Eye-tracking data were collected from 486 6-to-30-year-old autistic (N = 282) and non-autistic control (N = 204) participants whilst they viewed 28 trials pairing biological (BM) and control (non-biological, CTRL) motion. Preference for the biological motion stimulus was calculated as (1) proportion looking time difference (BM-CTRL) and (2) peak look duration difference (BM-CTRL). RESULTS: The ASD group showed a present but weaker preference for biological motion than the NT group. The nature of the control stimulus modulated preference for biological motion in both groups. Biological motion preference did not vary with age, gender, or concurrent or prospective social communicative skill within the ASD group, although a lack of clear preference for either stimulus was associated with higher social-communicative symptoms at baseline. LIMITATIONS: The paired visual preference we used may underestimate preference for a stimulus in younger and lower IQ individuals. Our ASD group had a lower average IQ by approximately seven points. 18% of our sample was not analysed for various technical and behavioural reasons. CONCLUSIONS: Biological motion preference elicits small-to-medium-sized case-control effects, but individual differences do not strongly relate to core social autism associated symptomatology. We interpret this as an autistic difference (as opposed to a deficit) likely manifest in social brain regions. The extent to which this is an innate difference present from birth and central to the autistic phenotype, or the consequence of a life lived with ASD, is unclear.

description: This paper develops a new test of orthogonality based on a zero restriction on the covariance between the dependent variable and the predictor. The test provides a useful alternative to regression-based tests when conditioning variables have roots close or equal to unity. In this case standard predictive regression tests can suffer from well-documented size distortion. Moreover, under the alternative hypothesis, they force the dependent variable to share the same order of integration as the predictor, whereas in practice the dependent variable often appears stationary while the predictor may be near-nonstationary. By contrast, the new test does not enforce the same orders of integration and is therefore capable of detecting alternatives to orthogonality that are excluded by the standard predictive regression model. Moreover, the test statistic has a standard normal limit distribution for both unit root and local-to-unity conditioning variables, without prior knowledge of the local-to-unity parameter. If the conditioning variable is stationary, the test remains conservative and consistent. Thus the new test requires neither size correction nor unit root pre-test. Simulations suggest good small sample performance. As an empirical application, we test for the predictability of stock returns using two persistent predictors, the dividendprice- ratio and short-term interest rate.

description: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is first diagnosed during middle childhood, when patterns of difficulty are often established. Pre-emptive approaches that strengthen developing cognitive systems could offer an alternative to post-diagnostic interventions. This proof-of-concept randomised controlled trial (RCT) tested whether computerised gaze-based attention training is feasible and improves attention in infants liable to develop ADHD. Forty-three 9- to 16-month-old infants with a first-degree relative with ADHD were recruited (11/2015-11/2018) at two UK sites and randomised with minimisation by site and sex to receive 9 weekly sessions of either (a) gaze-contingent attention training (intervention; n = 20); or (b) infant-friendly passive viewing of videos (control, n = 23). Sessions were delivered at home with blinded outcome assessments. The primary outcome was a composite of attention measures jointly analysed via a multivariate ANCOVA with a combined effect size (ES) from coefficients at baseline, midpoint and endpoint (Registration: ISRCTN37683928 ). Uptake and compliance was good but intention-to-treat analysis showed no significant differences between 20 intervention and 23 control infants on primary (ES -0.4, 95% CI -0.9 to 0.2; Complier-Average-Causal Effect ES -0.6, 95% CI -1.6 to 0.5) or secondary outcomes (behavioural attention). There were no adverse effects on sleep but a small increase in post-intervention session fussiness. Although feasible, there was no support for short-term effects of gaze-based attention training on attention skills in early ADHD. Longer-term outcomes remain to be assessed. The study highlights challenges and opportunities for pre-emptive intervention approaches to the management of ADHD.
QuanEstimation.jl: An open-source Julia framework for quantum parameter estimation

description: As the main theoretical support of quantum metrology, quantum parameter estimation must follow the steps of quantum metrology towards the applied science and industry. Hence, optimal scheme design will soon be a crucial and core task for quantum parameter estimation. To efficiently accomplish this task, software packages aimed at computer-aided design are in high demand. In response to this need, we hereby introduce QuanEstimation.jl, an open-source Julia framework for scheme evaluation and design in quantum parameter estimation. It can be used either as an independent package or as the computational core of the recently developed hybrid-language (Python-Julia) package QuanEstimation [Phys. Rev. Res. 4 (4) (2022) 043057]. Utilizing this framework, the scheme evaluation and design in quantum parameter estimation can be readily performed, especially when quantum noises exist.

description: The Bohm causal theory of quantum mechanics with spin-dependence is used to determine electron trajectories when a hydrogen atom is subjected to (semi-classical) radiation. The transition between the 1s ground state and the 2p0 state is examined. It is found that transitions can be identified along Bohm trajectories. The trajectories lie on invariant hyperboloid surfaces of revolution in R^3. The energy along the trajectories is also discussed in relation to the hydrogen energy eigenvalues.

Responses to cigarette and coffee cues in smokers and coffee drinkers: An examination of the roles of conditioning factors and stages of change

description: By virtue of reliably signaling imminent ingestion of a psychoactive substance, cues associated with substance use (e.g., needle, pipe) acquire the ability to elicit conditioned responses. The Conditioned Compensatory Response (CCR) model predicts that drug related stimuli elicit conditioned drug-opposite responses. In contrast, the Conditioned Appetitive Motivational (CAM) model predicts that drug-related stimuli elicit drug-like responses. The Conditioned Withdrawal (CW) model postulates that drug cues induce withdrawal. Past research has found that ex-heroin and ex-alcohol addicts are physiologically reactive and report negative emotional responses to cues related to their drug of choice. This finding has often been interpreted as support for the CCR and CW models. The elicitation of negative affect, however, may not represent a conditioned response, but rather a response triggered by reminding subjects of the very drugs that have caused them considerable distress. This project extended past research by recruiting ninety current smokers and thirty-two current coffee-drinkers in order to rule out this alternative explanation. Subjects watched videotapes containing smoking cues or coffee cues. Emotional, self-reported somatic, and physiological responses were assessed. Subjects' responses to the drug video were contrasted with their responses to a neutral videotape and to responses of non-smoker or non-coffee drinker controls. In contrast to controls, smokers and coffee-drinkers reported significant increases in positive affect in response to the drug videotape. Heart rate increased for coffee drinkers in response to drug-cues, but decreased for smokers. The affective data from smokers and coffee-drinkers and heart rate data from coffee drinkers supports the CAM model. Smokers contemplating quitting had higher heart rates and reported feeling more guilty than noncontemplators in response to the smoking videotape, suggesting that the point on the continuum of change processes where a person falls (as opposed to conditioning history) may mediate cue-reactivity.
The relations between generalized fields and superfields formalisms of the Batalin--Vilkovisky method of quantization

description: A general solution of the Batalin-Vilkovisky master equation was formulated in terms of generalized fields. Recently, a superfields approach of obtaining solutions of the Batalin-Vilkovisky master equation is also established. Superfields formalism is usually applied to topological quantum field theories. However, generalized fields method is suitable to find solutions of the Batalin-Vilkovisky master equation either for topological quantum field theories or the usual gauge theories like Yang-Mills theory. We show that by truncating some components of superfields with appropriate actions, generalized fields formalism of the usual gauge theories result. We demonstrate that for some topological quantum field theories and the relativistic particle both of the methods possess the same field contents and yield similar results. Inspired by the observed relations we give the solution of the BV-master equation for on-shell N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory utilizing superfields.

description: Many countries with free trade zones or export processing zones now exempt from corporate income taxation the income of firms exporting from these areas. The WTO has attempted to eliminate this exemption through its rules to promote the non-discrimination of fiscal systems with respect to export production. In particular, these rules do not allow countries to exempt the income of firms exporting from Free Trade Zones from corporate income taxation. This paper examines both theoretically as well as empirically the incidence of removing this corporate income tax exemption. The empirical analysis is carried out for the case of the Dominican Republic. The findings indicate that in the case of the Dominican Republic the removal of the corporate income tax exemption would inflict a burden on labour equal to about 6 times the amount of additional corporate tax revenue collected from the companies operating in its free trade zones.

description: In classical mechanics, the Kepler potential and the Harmonic potential share the following remarkable property: in either of these potentials, a bound test particle orbits with a radial period that is independent of its angular momentum. For this reason, the Kepler and Harmonic potentials are called \it{isochrone}. In this paper, we solve the following general problem: are there any other isochrone potentials, and if so, what kind of orbits do they contain? To answer these questions, we adopt a geometrical point of view initiated by Michel Hénon in 1959, in order to explore and classify exhaustively the set of isochrone potentials and isochrone orbits. In particular, we provide a geometric generalization of Kepler's third law, and give a similar law for the apsidal angle, for any isochrone orbit. We also relate the set of isochrone orbits to the set of parabolae in the plane under linear transformations, and use this to derive an analytical parameterization of any isochrone orbit. Along the way we compare our results to known ones, pinpoint some interesting details of this mathematical physics problem, and argue that our geometrical methods can be exported to more generic orbits in potential theory.
