description: The production of K^+ mesons in pA (A = D, C, Cu, Ag, Au) collisions has been investigated at the COoler SYnchrotron COSY-Jülich for beam energies T_p = 1.0 - 2.3 GeV. Double differential inclusive pC cross sections at forward angles theta < 12 degrees as well as the target-mass dependence of the K^+ momentum spectra have been measured with the ANKE spectrometer. Far below the free NN threshold at T_{NN}=1.58 GeV the spectra reveal a high degree of collectivity in the target nucleus. From the target-mass dependence of the cross sections at higher energies, the repulsive in-medium potential of K^+ mesons can be deduced. Using pN cross-section parameterisations from literature and our measured pD data we derive a cross-section ratio of sigma(pn -> K^+ X) / sigma(pp -> K^+ X) ~ (3-4).

description: We present a detailed design of a (P)HMC simulation algorithm for N_f = 2 + 1 + 1 maximally twisted Wilson quark flavours. The algorithm retains even/odd and mass-shift preconditionings combined with multiple Molecular Dynamics time scales for both the light mass degenerate, u and d, quarks and the heavy mass non-degenerate, s and c, quarks. Various non-standard aspects of the algorithm are discussed, among which those connected to the use of a polynomial approximation for the inverse (square root of the squared) Dirac matrix in the s and c quark sector.

description: The spike glycoprotein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, has attracted attention for its vaccine potential and binding capacity to host cell surface receptors. Much of this research focus has centered on the ectodomain of the spike protein. The ectodomain is anchored to a transmembrane region, followed by a cytoplasmic tail. Here we report a distant sequence similarity between the cysteine-rich cytoplasmic tail of the coronavirus spike protein and the hepcidin protein that is found in humans and other vertebrates. Hepcidin is thought to be the key regulator of iron metabolism in humans. An implication of this preliminary observation is to suggest a potential route of investigation in the coronavirus research field making use of an already-established literature on the interplay of local and systemic iron regulation, cytokine-mediated inflammatory processes, respiratory infections and the hepcidin protein. The question of possible homology and an evolutionary connection between the viral spike protein and hepcidin is not assessed in this report, but some scenarios for its study are discussed.

description: The causes of people’s political attitudes are largely unknown. We study this issue by exploiting longitudinal data on lottery winners. Comparing people before and after a lottery windfall, we show that winners tend to switch towards support for a right-wing political party and to become less egalitarian. The larger the win, the more people tilt to the right. This relationship is robust to (i) different ways of defining right-wing, (ii) a variety of estimation methods, and (iii) methods that condition on the person previously having voted left. It is strongest for males. Our findings are consistent with the view that voting is driven partly by human self-interest. Money apparently makes people more right-wing.

description: In order to measure spin-dependent parton distributions in production of weak bosons using the non-hermetic detectors of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, an accurate model for distributions of charged leptons from the W boson decay is needed. We discuss the predictions for production and decay of the W bosons based on a calculation for resummation of large logarithmic contributions originating from multiple soft gluon radiation. We compare the predictions for the spin-dependent resummed cross sections with the corresponding next-to-leading order results. We show that the lepton-level asymmetries can be reliably predicted by the resummation calculation and directly compared to the experimental data. A program for the numerical analysis of such cross sections in $γ^{*}, W^{\pm},$ and $Z^{0}$ boson production is also presented.

description: We develop two approaches to the problem of soft fragmentation of hadrons in a gauge theory for high energy processes. The first approach directly adapts the standard resummation of the parton distribution function's anomalous dimension (that of twist-two local operators) in the forward scattering regime, using $k_T$-factorization and BFKL theory, to the case of the fragmentation function by exploiting the mapping between the dynamics of eikonal lines on transverse-plane to the celestial-sphere. Critically, to correctly resum the anomalous dimension of the fragmentation function under this mapping, one must pay careful attention to the role of regularization, despite the manifest collinear or infra-red finiteness of the BFKL equation. The anomalous dependence on energy in the celestial case, arising due to the mismatch of dimensionality between positions and angles, drives the differences between the space-like and time-like anomalous dimension of parton densities, even in a conformal theory. The second approach adapts an angular-ordered evolution equation, but working in 4-2$ε$ dimensions at all angles. The two approaches are united by demanding that the anomalous dimension in 4-2$ε$ dimensions for the parton distribution function determines the kernel for the angular-ordered evolution to all orders.

description: Since the late 90s, the United States has been dealing with an increased abuse of opoids, with more overdose deaths resulting in what we now call "the opoid epidemic." Drawing inspiration from J.D. Vance's 2016 memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, this paper examines several factors that may have contribute to the overdose deaths, focusing on sociological factors such as association rates, crime rates, and physical and mental distress. I use 2016 cross-sectional data from 412 counties, regressing the log of drug overdose death rate on serval factors to construct a model of the epidemic, aiming to find specific factors to target when considering how to tackle the crisis. I also use Akaike information criterion (AIC) to determine the best factors to include in my model. I find that while sociological factors play some role in overdose deaths, this role is smaller than I had hypothsized. The model suggests instead that economic factors such as unemployment rate and income inequality are more important. However this model does not account for possible multicollinearity and endogeneity; thus further tests need to be conducted to better understand how these factors impact opioid overdose deaths.

description: We call a graded connected algebra $R$ effectively coherent, if for every linear equation over $R$ with homogeneous coefficients of degrees at most $d$, the degrees of generators of its module of solutions are bounded by some function $D(d)$. For commutative polynomial rings, this property has been established by Hermann in 1926. We establish the same property for several classes of noncommutative algebras, including the most common class of rings in noncommutative projective geometry, that is, strongly Noetherian rings, which includes Noetherian PI algebras and Sklyanin algebras. We extensively study so--called universally coherent algebras, that is, such that the function $D(d)$ is bounded by 2d for $d >> 0$. For example, finitely presented monomial algebras belong to this class, as well as many algebras with finite Groebner basis of relations.

description: Many politicians believe they can intervene in the economy to improve people’s lives. But can they? In a social experiment carried out in the United Kingdom, extensive in-work support was randomly assigned among 16,000 disadvantaged people. We follow a sub-sample of 3,500 single parents for 5 ensuing years. The results reveal a remarkable, and troubling, finding. Long after eligibility had ceased, the treated individuals had substantially lower psychological wellbeing, worried more about money, and were increasingly prone to debt. Thus helping people apparently hurt them. We discuss a behavioral framework consistent with our findings and reflect on implications for policy.
Superfluidity without Symmetry-Breaking: The Time-Dependent Hartree-Fock Approximation for Bose-Condensed Systems

description: We develop a time-dependent Hartree-Fock approximation that is appropriate for Bose-condensed systems. Defining a {\it depletion Green's function} allows the construction of condensate and depletion particle densities from eigenstates of a single time-dependent Hamiltonian, guaranteeing that our approach is a conserving approximation. The poles of this Green's function yield the energies of number-changing excitations for which the condensate particle number is held fixed, which we show has a gapped spectrum in the superfluid state. The linearized time-dependent version of this has poles at the collective frequencies of the system, yielding the expected zero sound mode for a uniform infinite system. We show how the approximations may be expressed in a general linear response formalism.

description: Learning novel concepts while preserving prior knowledge is a long-standing challenge in machine learning. The challenge gets greater when a novel task is given with only a few labeled examples, a problem known as incremental few-shot learning. We propose XtarNet, which learns to extract task-adaptive representation (TAR) for facilitating incremental few-shot learning. The method utilizes a backbone network pretrained on a set of base categories while also employing additional modules that are meta-trained across episodes. Given a new task, the novel feature extracted from the meta-trained modules is mixed with the base feature obtained from the pretrained model. The process of combining two different features provides TAR and is also controlled by meta-trained modules. The TAR contains effective information for classifying both novel and base categories. The base and novel classifiers quickly adapt to a given task by utilizing the TAR. Experiments on standard image datasets indicate that XtarNet achieves state-of-the-art incremental few-shot learning performance. The concept of TAR can also be used in conjunction with existing incremental few-shot learning methods; extensive simulation results in fact show that applying TAR enhances the known methods significantly.

description: Inspired by the recent work of Filho et al., a Hermitian momentum operator is introduced in a general curved space with diagonal metric. The modified Hamiltonian associated with this new momentum is calculated and discussed. Furthermore, granting the validity of the Heisenberg equation in a curved space, the Ehrenfest theorem is generalized and interpreted with the new position-dependent differential operator in a curved space. The modified Hamiltonian leads to a modified time-independent Schrödinger equation, which is solved explicitly for a free particle in the Poincaré upper half-plane geometry. It is shown that a "free particle" does not behave as it is totally free due to curved background geometry.

description: A dynamic model of capital structure for the noncorporate farm is developed and analyzed. The model examines the effect on optimal capital structure of (1) bankruptcy risk, (2) the difference between the riskless rate and the expected return in agriculture, and (3) the difference between the off-farm wage and the implicit on-farm wage. If the difference between the wages is O, a constant leverage is optimal under reasonable circumstances. The model predicts that older farmers require more leverage to induce them to remain in farming and that they tend to reduce their leverage as retirement approaches. The model is tested with cross sectional data.
title: In vivo mapping of Polycomb and trithorax group proteins in chromatin of Drosophila melanogaster
Creators: name: Strutt, Helen Lesley
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: The Polycomb group and trithorax group genes of Drosophila are required for maintaining the repressed or active expression state of many developmental regulatory genes, such as the homeotic genes, throughout development. The Polycomb group genes have been suggested to act by regulating higher order chromatin structure.

 This work describes an improvement in a formaldehyde cross-linking and chromatin immunoprecipitation technique for analysing in vivo protein-DNA interactions in tissue culture cells. Using this method, Polycomb protein was found to be strongly associated with previously-identified Polycomb group response elements (PREs) in repressed genes of the bithorax complex. Polycomb does not cover entire chromosomal domains, but spreads over a few kilobases of DNA surrounding PREs.

 GAGA factor/Trithorax-like, a member of the trithorax group, is also bound at those PREs which contain GAGA consensus binding sites. This suggests that GAGA factor binds constitutively to PREs in the bithorax complex, which also function as trithorax group response elements.

 Finally, Polycomb, Polyhomeotic and Posterior sex combs proteins are shown to participate in a common multimeric complex, and to be associated with identical regulatory elements of the selector gene engrailed in tissue culture cells. These three proteins are however differentially distributed on regulatory sequences of the engrailed-related gene invected. This suggests that there may be multiple different Polycomb group protein complexes which function at different target sites. Furthermore, Polyhomeotic and Posterior Sex Combs are associated with expressed genes, suggesting that the inclusion of Polycomb protein in the complex at PREs is required for stable silencing.

 These results give insight into the mechanism by which the Polycomb group proteins mediate silencing of their target genes, and how this silencing is antagonised by the trithorax group genes. In addition, they reveal the structural and functional diversity of Polycomb group protein complexes.

description: There is a large amount of cross-sectional evidence for a midlife low in the life cycle of human happiness and well-being (a ‘U shape’). Yet no genuinely longitudinal inquiry has uncovered evidence for a U-shaped pattern. Thus some researchers believe the U is a statistical artefact. We re-examine this fundamental cross-disciplinary question. We suggest a new test. Drawing on four data sets, and only within-person changes in well-being, we document powerful support for a U-shape in unadjusted longitudinal data without the need for regression equations. The paper’s methodological contribution is to exploit the firstderivative properties of a well-being equation.

description: Reducing food loss and waste (FLW) is widely recognized as an important lever for lowering the environmental impacts of food systems. The United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda includes a goal to re-duce FLW by 50% by 2030. Given differences in resource inputs along the food supply chain (FSC), the environmental benefits of FLW reduction will vary by stage of the FSC. Here, we identify the points along the supply chain where a 50% FLW reduction could yield the largest potential environmental benefits, assuming that decreases in consumption propagate back up the supply chain to reduce production. We use an environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) model combined with data on rates of FLW to calculate the scale of the total environmental impacts of the U.S. food system resulting from lost or wasted food. We evaluate the maximum potential environmental benefit resulting from 50% FLW reduction at all possible combinations of six supply chain stages (agricultural production, food processing, distribution/retail, restaurant foodservice, institutional foodservice, and households).We find that FLW reduction efforts should target the foodservice (restaurant) sector, food processing sector,and household consumption. Halving FLW in the foodservice sector has the highest potential to reduce greenhouse gas output and energy use. Halving FLW in the food processing sector could reduce the most land use and eutrophication potential, and reducing household consumption waste could avert the most water consumption. In contrast, FLW reduction at the retail, institutional foodservice, and farm level averts less environmental impact. Our findings may help determine optimal investment in FLW reduction strategies.
Temptation with Uncertain Normative Preferences

description: We model a decision maker who anticipates being affected by temptation but is also uncertain about what is normatively best. Our model is an extended version of Gul and Pesendorfer’s (2001) where there are three time periods: in the ex-ante period the agent chooses a set of menus, in the interim period she chooses a menu from this set, and in the final period she chooses from the menu. We posit axioms from the ex-ante perspective. Our main axiom on preference states that the agent prefers to have the option to commit in the interim period. Our representation is a generalization of Dekel et al.’s (2009) and identifies the agent’s multiple normative preferences and multiple temptations. We also characterize the uncertain normative preference analogue to the representation in Stovall (2010). Finally, we characterize the special case where normative preference is not uncertain. This special case allows us to uniquely identify the representations of Dekel et al. (2009) and Stovall (2010).

With the addition of Consistency and Resource Monotonicity, this characterizes a family of rules which can be described in three different but intuitive ways. First, a rule is identified with a fixed monotone path in the space of awards, and for a given claims vector, the path of awards for that claims vector is simply the monotone path truncated by the claims vector. Second, a rule is identified with a set of parametric functions indexed by the claimants, and for a given claims problem, each claimant receives the value of his parametric function at a common parameter value, but truncated by his claim. Third, a rule is identified with an additively separable, strictly concave social welfare function, and for a given claims problem, the amount awarded is the maximizer of the social welfare function subject to the constraint of choosing a feasible award. This third way of describing the family of rules is similar to Lensberg’s (1987) solution for bargaining problems applied to conflicting claims problems.

description: We have investigated the present renormalization prescriptions of Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, and found there is still not an integrated prescription to all loop levels. In this paper We propose a new prescription which is designed for all loop levels in the present perturbative theory. This new prescription will keep the unitarity of the bare CKM matrix and make the amplitude of an arbitrary physical process involving quark mixing convergent and gauge independent.

Resonance in the K2-19 system is at odds with its high reported eccentricities

description: K2-19 hosts a planetary system composed of two outer planets, b and c, with size of $7.0\pm 0.2~R_\oplus$ and $4.1\pm0.2~R_\oplus$ , and an inner planet, d, with a radius of $1.11\pm 0.05 R_\oplus$. A recent analysis of Transit-Timing Variations (TTVs) suggested b and c are close to but not in 3:2 mean motion resonance (MMR) because the classical resonant angles circulate. Such an architecture challenges our understanding of planet formation. Indeed, planet migration through the protoplanetary disk should lead to a capture into the MMR. Here, we show that the planets are in fact, locked into the 3:2 resonance despite circulation of the conventional resonant angles and aligned periapses. However, we show that such an orbital configuration cannot be maintained for more than a few hundred million years due to the tidal dissipation experienced by planet d. The tidal dissipation remains efficient because of a secular forcing of the innermost planet eccentricity by planets b and c. While the observations strongly rule out an orbital solution where the three planets are on close to circular orbits, it remains possible that a fourth planet is affecting the TTVs such that the four planet system is consistent with the tidal constraints.

description: The Haldane-Shastry model is one of the most studied interacting spin systems. The Yangian symmetry makes it exactly solvable, and the model has semionic excitations. We introduce disorder into the Haldane-Shastry model by allowing the spins to sit at random positions on the unit circle and study the properties of the eigenstates. At weak disorder, the spectrum is similar to the spectrum of the clean Haldane-Shastry model. At strong disorder, the long-range interactions in the model do not decay as a simple power law. The eigenstates in the middle of the spectrum follow a volume law, but the coefficient is small, and the entropy is hence much less than for an ergodic system. In addition, the energy level spacing statistics is neither Poissonian nor of the Wigner-Dyson type. The behavior at strong disorder hence serves as an example of a non-ergodic phase, which is not of the many-body localized kind, in a model with long-range interactions and SU(2) symmetry.

description: The living conditions of the residence of the informal settlements around the African continent remain one of the most expressed pervasive human right violation. It is therefore a fact and a respect of human rights that informal settlements be revitalized to meet basic standards of individuals and households’ dignity. Recognizing this, and mobilizing all the principal actors within a shared human rights paradigm, can make the 2030 upgrading agenda achievable.The survey that translated into this study was carried out through the adoption of multi stage sampling procedure with a well-structured questionnaires in year 2018, from some selected households in the eZakheleni informal settlement, Durban metropolis of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. The utilized questionnaires were divided into different relevant sections to capture the households living condition, these sections were thus highlighted: respondent's demographic characteristics, households’ level characteristics, dwelling level characteristics, settlement level characteristics, effect of some intervention efforts/programs in the community, coping strategies with hunger and current day erratic weather conditions and assessment of the living conditions. More so, the administered questionnaires were printed in English language and translated into the local language of the participants during the interview, this was done in order to ease the understanding of the subject matter by the selected participants. A sum of 255 complete questionnaires made up the dataset in the project, the sum of compiled data was quite representative of the residents of the informal settlement. The dataset is herewith made available as it is considered useful for showcasing the state of the informal settlement hence, possible way forward for urban upgrade policy implication and recommendations.
Erratum : Existence of 3D Skyrmions. Complete version

description: This erratum corrects the proof given in \cite{E1,E2} about the existence of $ 3D $ Skyrmions. This is done by changing the arguments of the proof while remaining in the same framework of concentration-compactness. Note however that the use of this method is here different of most of what has been done with it so far. In that sense, this new proof has some interest by itself. The proof given here is self-contained. I thank F. Lin and Y. Yang for having pointed out to me that there were gaps in my proofs.

description: This study leverages a natural experiment in which peer advisors (PA) were quasi-randomly assigned to first-year university students. Male students assigned to male peer advisors were significantly more likely to meet with their assigned PA, persist into the second year of postsecondary schooling, and graduate within four years. We find no such effect on male students’ academic performance, nor do we find a same-sex PA effect on female students’ use of the PA program or on subsequent academic outcomes.

description: This paper looks at both intragenerational and intergenerational income mobility in America. The paper is divided in two parts. The first part of the paper uses social security data to find that intragenerational income mobility in America has fallen by half over the past 50 years. I then consider which statistical model of income are consistent with the observed decline in income mobility. This paper finds that the AR(1) and ARIMA models do not do a good job of explaining mobility rates without using unreasonable parameters. However, the results from these models suggest that lowering the variance in shocks to income from year to year is more important in explaining falls in mobility than changes in year-to-year persistence of income. The model of income dynamics proposed by Guvenen (2016) does a better job of generating mobility rates seen in the data, but also provides somewhat limited explanation for falling mobility rates in our analysis. The results from the Guvenen model also suggest that variation in annual income shocks is significant in explaining falling mobility rates. In the second part I examine income mobility looking for significant county-level covariates to Chetty (2016) estimates on the causal effect of counties on income mobility. The analysis finds that social capital, income shares, and policy variables such as households on social security and size of public assistance in a county are significant in explaining variance in county level mobility rates. This paper also estimates the causal effects of housing rents as a percent of income using instrumental variable regression and estimates that a 1% increase in average housing rents as a percent of income in a county leads to a -0.21 change in the causal effect of spending an additional year in the county on percentile income rank at age 26. This paper also uses results from regressions to predict which counties would have the highest mobility rates in the future. Finally, the relationship between intergenerational mobility rates and inter-county migration is studied. The analysis finds that higher mobility rates are not strongly related to increased migration to a county, suggesting that movers have limited knowledge of which counties lead to better outcomes.
Photonic crystal fiber design based on the V-parameter

description: Based on a recent formulation of the V-parameter of a photonic crystal fiber we provide numerically based empirical expressions for this quantity only dependent on the two structural parameters - the air hole diameter and the hole-to-hole center spacing. Based on the unique relation between the V-parameter and the equivalent mode field radius we identify how the parameter space for these fibers is restricted in order for the fibers to remain single mode while still having a guided mode confined to the core region.

Anyons from three-body hard-core interactions in one dimension
Creators: name: Harshman, Nathan
name: Knapp, Adam C.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Traditional anyons in two dimensions have generalized exchange statistics governed by the braid group. By analyzing the topology of configuration space, we discover that an alternate generalization of the symmetric group governs particle exchanges when there are hard-core three-body interactions in one-dimension. We call this new exchange symmetry the traid group and demonstrate that it has abelian and non-abelian representations that are neither bosonic nor fermionic, and which also transform differently under particle exchanges than braid group anyons. We show that generalized exchange statistics occur because, like hard-core two-body interactions in two dimensions, hard-core three-body interactions in one dimension create defects with co-dimension two that make configuration space no longer simply-connected. Ultracold atoms in effectively one-dimensional optical traps provide a possible implementation for this alternate manifestation of anyonic physics.

description: Recent progress in laser-based high-repetition rate extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lightsources and multidimensional photoelectron spectroscopy enable the build-up of a new generation of time-resolved photoemission experiments. Here, we present a setup for time-resolved momentum microscopy driven by a 1 MHz femtosecond EUV table-top light source optimized for the generation of 26.5 eV photons. The setup provides simultaneous access to the temporal evolution of the photoelectron's kinetic energy and in-plane momentum. We discuss opportunities and limitations of our new experiment based on a series of static and time-resolved measurements on graphene.
