In Search of Minimal Hypersurfaces
No full textWe study minimal hypersurfaces from the point of view of min-max theory. We present a proof of Yau's conjecture for the abundance of minimal surfaces, which builds on previous works by F. C. Marques and A. Neves, and extend it to some non-compact ambient manifolds. We show a generic equidistribution result for minimal hypersurfaces (joint with F. C. Marques and A. Neves). Then we give a proof of a conjecture by H. J. Rubinstein on realizing strongly irreducible Heegaard splittings of -manifolds by minimal surfaces (joint with D. Ketover and Y. Liokumovich). Other results related to minimal surfaces are explained
Why Should Central Banks Avoid the Use of the Underlying Inflation Indicator?
No full textThis paper assesses the usefulness of the commonly used underlying inflation indicator, in light of the criteria proposed in Marques et al. (2000). Empirical evidence for a group of six countries strongly suggets that the use of underlying inflation as an indicator of trend inflation should be avoided.

Concluding remarks. | (Abstract) On 10 September 2024, the ECJ delivered its judgment in Case C-351/22 (Neves 77 Solutions). In this case, the Court was confronted with the question whether it has jurisdiction to hear a preliminary reference on the interpretation of a CFSP Decision concerning restrictive measures. While the judgment constitutes an important clarification with regard to the ECJ’s jurisdiction in the area of CFSP matters, it appears that the relevance of the ruling was largely underappreciated when compared to the judgment in Joined Cases C-29/22 P and C-44/22 P (KS and KD v Council and Others), which was delivered on the same day. In this annotation, I explore the complex legal questions concerning the Court’s jurisdiction underlying the Neves 77 Solutions ruling, discussing both merits and flaws of the judgment. While at first sight Neves 77 Solutions might seem relatively unspectacular, I argue that the implications of the judgment are highly significant, particularly in view of the EU’s envisaged accession to the ECHR

Diagnosis. Large euryteles with shaft:capsule proportion 3.0– 3.6; in pads on hydranth body, spadix of female gonophores, and in a whorl of 16–25 around hypostome. Female blastostyles with reduced hypostome and tentacles. Etymology. From the Tupi native language “ cáraiurú ” (= powerful mouth), in reference to the presence of large euryteles on the hypostome. Description. Colonies dioecious, arborescent, up to 54 mm in height, main stems unfascicled. Hydrocauli arising from creeping hydrorhiza; branches many, more or less alternate, occurring over entire hydrocaulus, branches up to third order, in radiate planes or rarely more or less planar; pedicels arising from main stem or branches of first, second or third order. Perisarc of main stem strongly developed, dark brown, single tubes 0.40 mm in diameter, with scarce annulations, in sets of 3–8 rings. Branches with 3–7 rings at origin, 0.20–0.25 mm in diameter. Pedicels sometimes completely annulated, yellowish, ca. 0.10 mm in diameter. Hydranths 0.18–0.75 mm in height, 0.18–0.57 mm in diameter (measured in the body region just below the tentacles), orange in color, with a distinct groove in the aboral region; tentacles 23–34 in number, occurring in a whorl below hypostome. Some hydranths with reduced tentacles juxtaposed in two close whorls. Gonophores styloids, arising from body of hydranth. Immature styloids placed in a circle around body of hydranth. Male blastostyle orange, with 10–29 sporosacs, each sporosac 1–2 chambered, linked to blastostyle body by a stalk, with a very distinct spadix over its longitudinal axis, and a terminal tubercle on its apex; distal chamber 0.12–0.18 mm in diameter. Male blastostyles completely reduced over earlier stages of their development with pedicels corrugated throughout. Female gonophores orange, arising on partially reduced blastostyles with highly atrophied hypostome and degenerated tentacles. Immature eggs having a simple and curved spadix over a single egg. Blastostyle reducing completely during development or at maximum with 1–5 stumps (tentacles), and spadices shed. Mature oval eggs thickened by perisarc and linked directly to the wrinkled pedicel by short and shallow concave peduncles. Eggs 4–7 in number, 0.24–0.39 mm in diameter. Nematocysts of two categories, heterotrichous microbasic euryteles and heterotrichous macrobasic (or mesobasic) euryteles. Small microbasic euryteles (seen discharged), 6.1 –8.0 X 2.9–3.9 m, L / W = 1: 2.05– 2.1, oval, abundant; distributed over hydranth body, hypostome, coenosarc, and tentacles. Large macrobasic euryteles (seen discharged), 18.7–22.7 X 7.1–9.3 m, L / W 1: 2.4– 2.6, bean shaped, common. Discharged shaft up to 60 m in length, 3. 0–3.6 times length of capsule; undischarged shaft in 1.5 coils inside capsule; distributed on hydranth body sometimes forming pads to a continuous ring, up to 25 capsules on hypostome, coenosarc, terminal tubercle, and immature female spadix sometimes forming pads. Distribution.

Using the First Principal Component as a Core Inflation Indicator
No full textThis paper investigates the consequences of non-stationarity for the principal components analysis and suggests a data transformation that allows obtaining smoother series for the first principal component to be used as a core inflation indicator. The paper also introduces a theoretical model, which allows interpreting core inflation as a common stochastic trend to the year-on-year rates of change of the price indices of the basic CPI items. Finally, it is shown that the first principal component computed in real time meets the evaluation criteria introduced in Marques et al. (2000).

Joint head pose/soft label estimation for human recognition in-the-wild
No full textSoft biometrics have been emerging to complement other traits and are particularly useful for poor quality data. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to estimate human head poses and to infer soft biometric labels based on the 3D morphology of the human head. Starting by considering a set of pose hypotheses, we use a learning set of head shapes synthesized from anthropometric surveys to derive a set of 3D head centroids that constitutes a metric space. Next, representing queries by sets of 2D head landmarks, we use projective geometry techniques to rank efficiently the joint 3D head centroids/pose hypotheses according to their likelihood of matching each query. The rationale is that the most likely hypotheses are sufficiently close to the query, so a good solution can be found by convex energy minimization techniques. Once a solution has been found, the 3D head centroid and the query are assumed to have similar morphology, yielding the soft label. Our experiments point toward the usefulness of the proposed solution, which can improve the effectiveness of face recognizers and can also be used as a privacy-preserving solution for biometric recognition in public environments
