Remoteness of permutation codes.

In this paper, we introduce a new parameter of a code, referred to as the remoteness, which can be viewed as a dual to the covering radius. Indeed, the remoteness is the minimum radius needed for a single ball to cover all codewords. After giving some general results about the remoteness, we then focus on the remoteness of permutation codes. We first derive upper and lower bounds on the minimum cardinality of a code with a given remoteness. We then study the remoteness of permutation groups. We show that the remoteness of transitive groups can only take two values, and we determine the remoteness of transitive groups of odd order. We finally show that the problem of determining the remoteness of a given transitive group is equivalent to determining the stability number of a related graph
Accounting for the phenomenology and varieties of auditory verbal hallucination within a predictive processing framework.

Two challenges that face popular self-monitoring theories (SMTs) of auditory verbal hallucination (AVH) are that they cannot account for the auditory phenomenology of AVHs and that they cannot account for their variety. In this paper I show that both challenges can be met by adopting a predictive processing framework (PPF), and by viewing AVHs as arising from abnormalities in predictive processing. I show how, within the PPF, both the auditory phenomenology of AVHs, and three subtypes of AVH, can be accounted for
Internationalization within networks: exploring the relationship between inward and outward FDI in China’s auto components industry

This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Springer via https://doi.org/
10.1007/s10490-015-9422-3We explore how the outward FDI strategies of Chinese auto component MNCs are
shaped by sub-contracting supply relationships established with developed market MNCs.
We argue the strong presence of foreign MNC business networks developed through prior
inward FDI constitutes an important home country effect influencing the outward FDI
strategies of emerging market MNCs. Using the updated internationalization process model,
we show how commitment to business networks is a critical mechanism driving the
internationalization trajectories of Chinese auto component MNCs. This includes geographic
location choices to psychically distant developed markets, strategic asset seeking orientation,
pace of internationalisation and entry mode decisions
Closest integer polynomial multiple recurrence along shifted primes

Following an approach presented by N. Frantzikinakis, B. Host and B. Kra, we
show that the parameters in the multidimensional Szemer\'edi theorem for
closest integer polynomials have non-empty intersection with the set of shifted
primes $\mathbb{P}-1$ (or similarly of $\mathbb{P}+1$). Using the Furstenberg
Correspondence Principle, we show this result by recasting it as a polynomial
multiple recurrence result in measure ergodic theory. Furthermore, we obtain
integer part polynomial convergence results by the same method, which is a
transference principle that enables one to deduce results for
$\mathbb{Z}$-actions from results for flows. We also give some applications of
our approach on Gowers uniform sets.Comment: 18 pages; Changes in Sections 1,3,4 and
Analytical study of holographic superconductor in Born-Infeld
  electrodynamics with backreaction

We generalize the analytical investigation on the properties of $s$-wave
holographic superconductors in the presence of Born-Infeld nonlinear
electrodynamics by taking the backreaction into account. We find that in the
presence of nonlinear gauge field, one can still employ the analytical method
when the backreaction is turned on. Our calculation is based on the
Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem, which is a variational method. For the
system under consideration, we obtain the relation between the critical
temperature and the charge density. We find that both backreaction and
Born-Infeld parameters decrease the critical temperature of the superconductor
and make the condensation harder. At the ned of paper, we calculate the
critical exponent associated with the condensation near the critical
temperature and find that it has the universal value $1/2$ of the mean field
theory.Comment: 11 pages, 2 tables, New refs added. The text was revised to remove

Electroproduction ratios of Baryon-Meson states and Strangeness
  Suppression

We describe the electroproduction ratios of baryon-meson states from nucleon,
inferring from the sea quarks in the nucleon using an extension of the quark
model that takes into account the sea. As a result we provide, with no
adjustable parameters, the predictions of ratios of exclusive meson-baryon
final states:$\Lambda K^+$, $\Sigma ^{*}K$, $\Sigma K$, $p\pi^0$, and $n\pi^+$.
These predictions are in agreement with the new Jlab experimental data showing
that sea quarks play an important role in the electroproduction. We also
predicted further ratios of exclusive reactions that can be measured and tested
in future experiments. In particular, we suggested new experiments on deuterium
and tritium. Such measurements can provide crucial test of different
predictions concerning the structure of nucleon and its sea quarks helping to
solve an outstanding problem. Finally, we computed the so called strangeness
suppression factor, $\lambda_s$, that is the suppression of strange
quark-antiquarks compared to nonstrange pairs, and we found that our finding
with this simple extension of the quark model is in good agreement with the
results of Jlab and CERN experiments.Comment: 4 pages, 1figur
Unquenched flavor on the Higgs branch

We construct the gravity duals of the Higgs branches of three-dimensional
(four-dimensional) super Yang-Mills theories coupled to $N_\textrm{f}$ quark
flavors. The effect of the quarks on the color degrees of freedom is included,
and corresponds on the gravity side to the backreaction of $N_\textrm{f}$
flavor D6-branes (D7-branes) on the background of $N_\textrm{c}$ color
D2-branes (D3-branes). The Higgsing of the gauge group arises from the
dissolution of some color branes inside the flavor branes. The dissolved color
branes are represented by non-Abelian instantons whose backreaction is also
included. The result is a cascading-like solution in which the effective number
of color branes varies along the holographic direction. In the
three-dimensional case the solution may include an arbitrary number of
quasi-conformal (walking) regions.Comment: 31 pages, 6 figure
Predictors of subjective health status 10 years post-PCI

Background: Subjective health status is an increasingly important parameter to assess the effect of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in clinical practice.Aim of this study was to determine medical and psychosocial predictors of poor subjective health status over a 10 years' post-PCI period. Methods: We included a series of consecutive PCI patients (n = 573) as part of the RESEARCH registry, a Dutch single-center retrospective cohort study. Results: These patients completed the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) at baseline and 10 years post-PCI. We found 6 predictors of poor subjective health status 10 years post-PCI: SF-36 at baseline, age, previous PCI, obesity, acute myocardial infarction as indication for PCI, and diabetes mellitus (arranged from most to least numbers of sub domains). Conclusions: SF-36 scores at baseline, age, and previous PCI were significant predictors of subjective health status 10 years post-PCI. Specifically, the SF-36 score at baseline was an important predictor. Thus assessment of subjective health status at baseline is useful as an indicator to predict long-term subjective health status. Subjective health status becomes better by optimal medical treatment, cardiac rehabilitation and psychosocial support. This is the first study determining predictors of subjective health status 10 years post-PCI
Harmonization of neuroticism and extraversion phenotypes across inventories and cohorts in the Genetics of Personality Consortium: An application of item response theory

Contains fulltext :
                  156156.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access)Mega- or meta-analytic studies (e.g. genome-wide association studies) are increasingly used in behavior genetics. An issue in such studies is that phenotypes are often measured by different instruments across study cohorts, requiring harmonization of measures so that more powerful fixed effect meta-analyses can be employed. Within the Genetics of Personality Consortium, we demonstrate for two clinically relevant personality traits, Neuroticism and Extraversion, how Item-Response Theory (IRT) can be applied to map item data from different inventories to the same underlying constructs. Personality item data were analyzed in > 160,000 individuals from 23 cohorts across Europe, USA and Australia in which Neuroticism and Extraversion were assessed by nine different personality inventories. Results showed that harmonization was very successful for most personality inventories and moderately successful for some. Neuroticism and Extraversion inventories were largely measurement invariant across cohorts, in particular when comparing cohorts from countries where the same language is spoken. The IRT-based scores for Neuroticism and Extraversion were heritable (48 and 49 %, respectively, based on a meta-analysis of six twin cohorts, total N = 29,496 and 29,501 twin pairs, respectively) with a significant part of the heritability due to non-additive genetic factors. For Extraversion, these genetic factors qualitatively differ across sexes. We showed that our IRT method can lead to a large increase in sample size and therefore statistical power. The IRT approach may be applied to any mega- or meta-analytic study in which item-based behavioral measures need to be harmonized.19 p
Willingness to pay for unfamiliar public goods: Preserving cold-water coral in Norway

Accepted manuscript version. Published version at <a href=http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolecon.2015.02.007>http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolecon.2015.02.007</a>.The world's largest concentration of cold-water coral (CWC) is found off the Norwegian coast. Most CWC discoveries are recent, posing new challenges for Norwegian coastal and fishery authorities regarding the management of deep-sea resources. Scientific knowledge of CWC is limited, and many citizens have not even heard about them. This creates problems for the application of the stated preference methods to capture their economic value, and very few such studies have been conducted. To fill this gap, we designed a discrete choice experiment, which was implemented in a valuation workshop setting in order to derive estimates of participants' willingness to pay (WTP) for increasing the protection of CWC. Despite the fact that marine industries such as oil/gas and fisheries could be adversely affected by CWC protection, this did not reduce the respondents' willingness to pay for further protection. The possibility that CWCs play an important role as habitat for fish was the single most important variable to explain respondents' WTP for CWC protection. The survey revealed a high degree of preference heterogeneity, while we found an average WTP for CWC protection in the range of EUR 274–287
Impact of climate-indicators on continental-scale potential groundwater recharge in Africa

In the last decades, human activity has been contributing to climate change that is closely associated with an increase in temperatures, increase in evaporation, intensification of extreme dry and wet rainfall events, and widespread melting of snow and ice. Understanding the intricate linkage between climate warming and the hydrological cycle is crucial for sustainable management of groundwater resources, especially in a vulnerable continent like Africa. This study investigates the relationship between climate-change drivers and potential groundwater recharge (PGR) patterns across Africa for a long-term record (1960–2010). Water-balance components were simulated by using the PCR-GLOBWB model and were reproduced in both gridded maps and latitudinal trends that vary in space with minima on the Tropics and maxima around the Equator. Statistical correlations between temperature, storm occurrences, drought, and PGR were examined in six climatic regions of Africa. Surprisingly, different effects of climate-change controls on PGR were detected as a function of latitude in the last three decades (1980–2010). Temporal trends observed in the Northern Hemisphere of Africa reveal that the increase in temperature is significantly correlated to the decline of PGR, especially in the Northern Equatorial Africa. The climate indicators considered in this study were unable to explain the alarming negative trend of PGR observed in the Sahelian region, even though the Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) values report a 15% drought stress. On the other hand, increases in temperature have not been detected in the Southern Hemisphere of Africa, where increasing frequency of storm occurrences determine a rise of PGR, particularly in southern Africa. Time analysis highlights a strong seasonality effect while PGR is in-phase with rainfall patterns in the summer (Northern Hemisphere) and winter (Southern Hemisphere) and out-of-phase during the fall season. This study helps to elucidate the mechanism of the processes influencing groundwater resources in six climatic zones of Africa, even though modeling results need to be validated more extensively with direct measurements in future studies.

Search for supersymmetry with jets, missing transverse momentum and at least one hadronically decaying tau lepton in proton-proton collisions at root s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector ATLAS Collaboration

A search for production of supersymmetric particles in final states containing jets, missing transverse momentum, and at least one hadronically decaying tau lepton is presented. The data were recorded by the ATLAS experiment in root s = 7 TeV proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. No excess above the Standard Model background expectation was observed in 2.05 fb(-1) of data. The results are interpreted in the context of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking models with M-mess = 250 TeV, N-5 = 3, mu > 0, and C-grav = 1. The production of supersymmetric particles is excluded at 95% C.L. up to a supersymmetry breaking scale Lambda = 30 TeV, independent of tan beta, and up to Lambda = 43 TeV for large tan beta
Search for TeV-scale gravity signatures in final states with leptons and jets with the ATLAS detector at √ s=7 TeV

Çetin, Serkant Ali (Dogus Author)The production of events with multiple high transverse momentum particles including charged leptons and jets is measured, using 1.04 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector during the first half of 2011 at √s=7 TeV. No excess beyond Standard Model expectations is observed, and upper limits on the fiducial cross sections for non-Standard Model production of these final states are set. Using models for string ball and black hole production and decay, exclusion contours are determined as a function of mass threshold and the fundamental gravity scale
Antarctic Intermediate Water properties since 400 ka recorded in infaunal (Uvigerina peregrina) and epifaunal (Planulina wuellerstorfi) benthic foraminifera

Reconstruction of intermediate water properties is important for understanding feedbacks within the ocean-climate system, particularly since these water masses are capable of driving high–low latitude teleconnections. Nevertheless, information about intermediate water mass evolution through the late Pleistocene remains limited. This paper examines changes in Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW), the most extensive intermediate water mass in the modern ocean through the last 400 kyr using the stable isotopic composition (δ18O and δ13C) and trace element concentration (Mg/Ca and B/Ca) of two benthic foraminiferal species from the same samples: epifaunal Planulina wuellerstorfi and infaunal Uvigerina peregrina. Our results confirm that the most reasonable estimates of AAIW temperature and Δ[CO2−3] are generated by Mg/CaU. peregrina and B/CaP. wuellerstorfi, respectively. We present a 400 kyr record of intermediate water temperature and Δ[CO2−3] from a sediment core from the Southwest Pacific (DSDP site 593; 40°30′S, 167°41′E, 1068 m water depth), which lies within the core of modern AAIW. Our results suggest that a combination of geochemical analyses on both infaunal and epifaunal benthic foraminiferal species yields important information about this critical water mass through the late Pleistocene. When combined with two nearby records of water properties from deeper depths, our data demonstrate that during interglacial stages of the late Pleistocene, AAIW and Circumpolar Deep Water (CPDW) have more similar water mass properties (temperature and δ13C), while glacial stages are typified by dissimilar properties between AAIW and CPDW in the Southwest Pacific. Our new Δ[CO2−3] record shows short time-scale variations, but a lack of coherent glacial–interglacial variability indicating that large quantities of carbon were not stored in intermediate waters during recent glacial periods
Reaction–Diffusion Finite Element Model of Lateral Line Primordium Migration to Explore Cell Leadership

Collective cell migration plays a fundamental role in many biological phenomena such as immune response, embryogenesis and tumorigenesis. In the present work, we propose a reaction–diffusion finite element model of the lateral line primordium migration in zebrafish. The population is modelled as a continuum with embedded discrete motile cells, which are assumed to be viscoelastic and able to undergo large deformations. The Wnt/ß-catenin–FGF and cxcr4b–cxcr7b signalling pathways inside the cohort regulating the migration are described through coupled reaction–diffusion equations. The coupling between mechanics and the molecular scenario occurs in two ways. Firstly, the intensity of the protrusion–contraction movement of the cells depends on the cxcr4b concentration. Secondly, the intra-synchronization between the active deformations and the adhesion forces inside each cell is triggered by the cxcr4b–cxcr7b polarity. This influences the inter-synchronization between the cells and results in two main modes of migration: uncoordinated and coordinated. The main objectives of the work were (i) to validate our assumptions with respect to the experimental observations and (ii) to decipher the mechanical conditions leading to efficient migration of the primordium. To achieve the second goal, we will specifically focus on the role of the leader cells and their position inside the population.International audienceCollective cell migration plays a fundamental role in many biological phenomena such as immune response, embryogenesis and tumorigenesis.

Copyright © 2012 Published by Elsevier Inc.This paper addresses the possible influence of cultural differences on satisfaction in cross-national buyerseller relationships. Building and maintaining buyer–seller relationships have for long been acknowledged as beneficial for conducting international business (Dwyer et al., 1987). A prerequisite for the success of such business relationships is the satisfaction of the parties involved. However, in international business the involved parties are usually embedded in different cultures, which in turn may influence both expectations and behavior and thereby the satisfaction with business relationships. In spite of this knowledge, the potential impact of cultural differences on satisfaction in buyer–seller relationships has received little attention. Here we present a study on business relationships between Russian buyers and Norwegian sellers of seafood. A dyadic approach is used to cover both parties in the relationship, because they may perceive and emphasize aspects of their relationship differently. The findings reveal congruence between the partners in terms of antecedents important for achieving satisfaction. However, several differences are found regarding how to achieve various antecedents. There are also differences between how the Russian partners describe their own actions, and how the Norwegian partners perceive these actions. These differences are explained by cultural differences. Implications are highlighted
Shape, transverse size, and charged-hadron multiplicity of jets in pp
  collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

Measurements of jet characteristics from inclusive jet production in
proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV are presented. The
data sample was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC during 2010 and
corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 36 inverse picobarns. The mean
charged hadron multiplicity, the differential and integral jet shape
distributions, and two independent moments of the shape distributions are
measured as functions of the jet transverse momentum for jets reconstructed
with the anti-kT algorithm. The measured observables are corrected to the
particle level and compared with predictions from various QCD Monte Carlo
generators.Comment: Replaced with published version. Added journal reference and DOI.
