Cross section measurements of processes with a single top quark and two vector bosons with the CMS experiment

The ATLAS and CMS detectors each accumulated data with an an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1, during the LHC Run-II from 2015 to 2018. This large amount of data provides a foundation to study the physics of the heaviest elementary particles, such as the Higgs boson and the top quark, with unprecedented precision. Additionally, these studies provided the opportunity to search for physics beyond the standard model (BSM), that may reveal itself in modifications of the top quark couplings. There is still a lot of room for new discoveries: tVV processes consist of a single top quark and two heavy vector bosons and have not been observed yet. With the upcoming LHC Run-III between 2021 and 2024, the size of the data sets will double to an integrated luminosity of about 300 fb−1. This large amount of data might be enough to observe specific tVV processes and study their sensitivity to BSM phenomena. Among the tVV processes, tWZ is the most promising candidate for a LHC Run-III cross section measurement. It is possible to discriminate the process from its main backgrounds using dedicated event selections and by separating off the leading backgrounds with a multivariate classifier (MVA). The results of the MVA were used to obtain the cross section and the associated uncertainties. Furthermore, the tWZ process is sensitive to many BSM effects in the electroweak sector, which are parametrized in the context of SM effective field theory by Wilson coefficients of operators with mass dimension 6. Such operators affect the top quark couplings and the tWZ cross section measurements thus constrain many of the Wilson coefficients in novel ways. In this thesis I present the feasibility of the cross section measurement of the tVV processes at the LHC Run-III with data from the CMS experiment and present the projected sensitivity to anomalous top quark couplings. iii D ie a pp ro bi er te g ed ru ck te O rig in al ve rs io n di es er D ip lo m ar be it is t a n de r T U W ie n B ib lio th ek v er fü gb ar .

SOSIAL MEDIA STRATEGY OF NEW KPOP ALBUM : A VISUAL ANALYSIS OF BLACKPINK’S PHOTO TEASER

Manuscript type: Research article. Research Aims: This paper examined visual concept in Blackpink photo teaser as the promotion strategy in social media. Design/methodology/approach: This research was carried with qualitative approach, using Roland Barthes semiotics analysis to identify sign and symbol to identify visual meaning of Blackpink photo teaser and how the group is being presented through social media. Research Findings: Blackpink photo teasers have visual appeals which is consistent with the brand of the group. The girl crush and duality concepts of black and pink characters representing beautiful and strong persona were the message intended to be delivered through social media to the audience. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This research explored the message contained within the visual concept in promotional photo teasers of a K-Pop group, Blackpink, as a social media strategy in promoting the new album. It is notable that the group wanted to project certain image through the photo teasers of the new album. Practitioner/Policy Implication: This research noted that the promotional strategy of a brand, in this case, the K-Pop group, in social media takes into consideration the brand identity and message appeals other than the visual aspect. Research limitation/Implications: This research only focused on one K-Pop group and a new album. Further research can be done covering multiple groups or multiple new albums to identify variety of concepts and strategies in social media.
Qualification of excipients for use in pharmaceuticals

IPEC has published Qualification of Excipients for Use in Pharmaceuticals detailing processes for developing and sourcing excipients and discusses issues that must be resolved for development of a commercial agreement. The document is divided into the Excipient Supplier's Process, the Users Process, and concludes with the Negotiation Process. The guideline provides a framework for suppliers and users of excipients to better understand the barriers to the introduction of new excipients and alternate sources of existing excipient grades. This dialogue provides for easier resolution of technical, safety, and regulatory issues concerning excipients. in December 2008, IPEC published Qualification of Excipients for Use in Pharmaceuticals. This guide of international applicability details processes for developing and sourcing excipients from the perspective of both the excipient supplier and user and provides a discussion of the issues that must be resolved to allow for development of a commercial agreement between the two parties. This article presents an overview/summary of the IPEC guide. IPEC is an international industry association formed in 1991 by manufacturers and end-users of excipients. It is an association comprising four regional pharmaceutical excipient industry associations covering North America, Europe, China and Japan (which are known respectively as IPEC-Americas, IPEC Europe, IPEC-China and JPEC). IPEC's objective is to contribute to the development and harmonisation of international excipient standards, the introduction of useful new excipients to the marketplace, and the development of best practice and guidance concerning excipients.
Investigation of UV/H2O2 pretreatment effects on humic acid fouling on polysulfone/titanium dioxide—And polysulfone/multiwall carbon nanotube—Nanocomposite ultrafiltration membranes

Membrane fouling is an important concern for membrane separation technology. Preparation of the feed before entering into the membrane and physicochemical modifications of membrane are both important approaches toward enhancing the permeability and separation in membrane processes. The present report combines both approaches. In terms of membrane characterization, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that the addition of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles and multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) resulted in increased pore numbers at the top surface and more interconnected pores in the porous membrane structure. The surface hydrophilicity and porosity of the PSF/TiO2 and PSF/MWCNT increased compared with pure PSF membranes. PSF/TiO2 nanocomposites showed just 10% flux decline and improved 95% flux recovery ratio (FRR%). UV/H2O2 pretreatment changed the physicochemical properties of humic acid (HA) aggregates by reducing the super‐micrometer size range (>1 μm) aggregates to a bimodal distribution of two submicrometer size ranges <1 μm (10–100 nm and 100–1000 nm) and increased the zeta potential of HA solution due to the production of new functional groups. The oxidation pretreatment alone improved flux decline at 120 min from 21% to 80% and increased the FRR from 58% to 80% for the pure PSF. The oxidative pretreatment also improved purification for the PSF/TiO2 nanocomposite membranes. The flux decline improved from 81% to 95% with only a slight improvement on the 94% FRR increasing to about 99% FRR. The FRR in the case of PSF/MWCNT actually declined with the pretreatment. The hybrid process of UV/H2O2 pretreatment and PSF/TiO2 nanocomposite membranes exhibited optimal permeability and antifouling properties. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 36: 27–37, 2017

Genetic Characteristics of Oocytes and Somatic Cells of Ovarian Follicles in Humans

Since most of the RNAs/proteins that support the initial phases of embryogenesis are accumulated during oocyte growth [1], knowledge about the effects of oocyte quality on embryo development plays a crucial role in the development of adequate assisted reproduction techniques. In this sense, understanding the requirements of oocytes recovered from different sized follicles is very important to optimize IVM and IVF of oocytes, which can have an excellent impact on the number of embryos produced in vitro. It will also allow analysis of the developmental potential of oocytes at different stages of development, the pattern of gene expression, the epigenetic modifications and the cytogenetic disorders in various domestic species, including humans [2].
The Development of the Basic Obstetric Ultrasound Learning Media for Undergraduate Medical Students

Current medical education curriculum refers to the Indonesian Medical Doctor’s Standard of Competence 2012. Competencies are detailed in seven general areas of competence to be achieved by medical students. This study focused on the development of learning media in the form of guide book and video related to the basic obstetric ultrasound examination and its influence in improving student’s knowledge of basic obstetric examination skills. A quantitative method used to see the effectiveness of the learning media that we developed. Twenty-one under graduate medical students who undertook clinical rotation in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology participated in this study through completing the pre-post student’s questionnaires to assess the students' knowledge before and after the delivery of learning media. The collected data were analyzed with a computer program; Means and Standard Deviation were calculated as descriptive parameters. Parametric tests were used to test the hypotheses. The pre-post results were compared using the Wilcoxon statistical test. The results showed a significant difference in the score of pretest and posttest. There was an increase in the average score of pretest and posttest for students after obtaining the teaching media and clinical supervision. The value of each individual was also increased. The analysis with the Wilcoxon statistical test showed significant differences which mean that there were improvements on student’s knowledge of basic obstetric examination skills after the delivery of guide book and video. The use of teaching media in the form of basic obstetric ultrasound module and video contributed to positive results to improve the student’s knowledge.
Development of Systematic Framework for an Intelligent Decision Support System in Gas Transmission Network

In a gas transmission network (GTN), faults can easily propagate due to the interconnections of streams. The main objective of this paper is to develop a systematic framework for an online decision support system (DSS) in order to make the right decisions to get the GTN out of critical conditions (which cannot be handled by the plant controllers) smoothly. One of the key features of the proposed scheme is its lack of dependence on prior knowledge of the fault signals (e.g., number of faults, and their origin). In this article, the GTN is modeled by a fuzzy directed graph (FDG). The proposed approach utilizes a reasoning algorithm based on the deviations that exist in the process variables (attributes) of target nodes, in order to detect the most crucial attributes (equipment) whose manipulating variables can be changed appropriately (i.e., upward or downward) to get the GTN out of the abnormal condition gracefully. Thereafter, quantitative decisions are made from qualitative decisions, after which the for.
Biodegradable polymeric materials. I. Polyethylene-natural polymer blends

Some composite materials susceptible to biodegradation processes were investigated on low density polyethylene (LDPE) and natural polymers based on starch, lignin and dextrin. The amount of natural polymer was within the 0-30% range in weight. The introduction and increase of the natural polymer content in the synthetic polymer utilized led to a decrease of apparent thermal stability of the starting polymer. The biodegradability tests achieved both in vitro (in the presence of Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma viride fungi) and in vivo (in the presence of a compost/sludge sewage mixture) evidenced that the susceptibility to biodegradation of the LDPE-natural polymer blend increases with increasing the natural polymer content in the LDPE synthetic polymer.
International Conference on Communication and Information Processing ( ICCIP-2020 ) IOT Based Vehicle Accident Prevention System

Conventional smart vehicles have performance limitations leads to the small road and obstacle detection range of the installed sensors. In this study, to overcome this limitation, we proposed the usability of a new conceptual autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system that uses Car-to-Car (C2C) communication technology in the existing AEB system. In this a radar sensor and a driving and communication environment constituting the AEB system were simulated; the simulation was then linked by applying vehicle dynamics and control logic. The simulation results show that the collision avoidance relaxation rate of car-to-car communication-based AEB system was reduced compared with that of existing vehicle-mounted-sensor-based system. Thus, a method that can lower the collision risk of the existing AEB system, which uses only a sensor cluster installed on the vehicle, is realized.

Immune Responses to Coronaviruses with Emphasis in Children

Seasonal coronaviruses that cause innocent colds in children lead to the formation of antibodies that last for 1-3 years. One of the four seasonal coronaviruses, human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63), also uses ACE2 as a receptor [1,2]. This virus causes infection in the flu season. It is estimated that 5 % of influenza-like illness is due to NL63 [1,2]. The virus especially affects children and can cause bronchiolitis resulting often in hospitalizations [15-18]. Maternal antibodies seem to protect infants up to the age of three months, and most children seroconvert within the first 20 months of life [18].
Brain-Computer Interfaces for upper limb motor rehabilitation of stroke patients

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) decode users’ intentions from the central nervous system and could be applied for upper limb motor rehabilitation of patients that have suffered stroke, one of the main causes of disability worldwide. Despite that research groups have reported the efficacy of these systems, a consensus has not yet been reached regarding their true potential. For this reason, a review of up-to-date assessments of BCI for upper limb stroke rehabilitation is presented from the perspective of analyzing common and different design variables presented across studies. Clinical and pilot studies with a control group were included in the review. Most BCI interventions assessments were performed with robotic assistive devices as feedback, followed by neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and visual feedbacks. Compared to other experimental interventions, the effects of a BCI intervention have been reported in a low number of patients. In addition, high variability between studies’ designs such as stroke etiology and interventions’ duration, do not allow to assess the potential of BCI for stroke rehabilitation. However, a trend towards significant rehabilitation outcomes with BCI systems can be highlighted, encouraging research groups to better coordinate in order to make valuable contributions to the field.
Anxiety Prevalence and its Associated Factors Among University Students In Malaysia: A National Cross-Sectional Study

Background Anxiety disorder is one of the most common mental health problems worldwide, including Malaysia. With the rising suicide rate nowadays, this issue has gained concern and attention from many, including experts and authorities globally. While average levels of anxiety motivate students to perform well in their studies, a high level of anxiety will significantly affect students' performance and self-esteem. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted at selected government and private universities throughout Malaysia. A total of 1851 students participated in this study. The students were asked to complete self-administered questionnaires, which include information such as socio-demographic, academic, and psychosocial characteristics. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire was used to measure the prevalence of anxiety in this study. Chi-square analysis was conducted to find the relationship between the variables and anxiety, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictors. Results The response rate was 97.90%, where 1821 out of 1860 students participated in the study. The prevalence of anxiety in this study was 29%. The data revealed that race, residency, smoking status, alcohol consumption, sleeping quality, body mass index (BMI), academic year, the field of study, financial support for study and current living arrangement were found to be significantly associated with anxiety; with the academic year as the primary predictor. Conclusions Anxiety among university students in Malaysia is mainly impacted by the academic year. The findings highlight the current prevalence of anxiety among university students in Malaysia. The outcome of this study can serve as the evident baseline data and help with the development of specific interventions in addressing and managing the issue appropriately.
Ethnopedology of a Quilombola Community in Minas Gerais: Soils, Landscape, and Land Evaluation

Quilombolas are Afro-brazilian rural peasants who descended from escaped slaves who tried to carve out territories of autonomy (called Quilombos) by collective organization and resistance. Despite many anthropological and ethnopedological studies, little research has been carried out to identify the agricultural practices and the knowledge of people who live in the Quilombos (Quilombolas). Peasant communities who live from land resources have wide empirical knowledge related to local soils and landscapes. In this respect, ethnopedology focuses on their relationship with local practices, needs, and values. We carried out an ethnopedological evaluation of the soils, landscape and land suitability of the Malhada Grande Quilombola Territory, aiming to examine the local criteria involved in land-use decision making, and evaluate the legitimacy of local knowledge. For this purpose, participatory workshops allowed environmental stratification of the Quilombolas into landscape units, recognition of soil types, and evaluation of land-use criteria. This approach was combined with conventional soil sampling, description, and analysis. The Brazilian System of Soil Classification and its approximations to the WRB/FAO system and the SAAT land evaluation system were compared with the local classificatory systems, showing several convergences. The Quilombolas stratified the local environment into eight landscape units (based on soil, topography, and vegetation) and identified eight soil types with distinct morphological, chemical, and physical attributes. The conventional soil survey identified thirteen soil classes, in the same eight landscape units, organized as soil associations. The apparent contradictions between local knowledge and Pedology were relative since the classification systems were established based on different criteria, goals, and sampling references. Most soils are only suitable for pasture, with restricted agricultural use, due to water or oxygen deficiencies. The current land use was only inconsistent with the technical recommendations when socioecological constraints such as the semiarid climate, land availability, and economic conditions for land management led to overuse of the land. Local knowledge demonstrated its legitimacy and allowed a useful and fruitful exchange of information with the academic view of soil-landscape interplays. Although mostly unknown by the scientific community, local knowledge proved capable of achieving social welfare and food security. In addition, a participatory survey proved to be a core factor for more grounded and detailed data collection on how Quilombolas decide land use on a local scale.
Electrical hysteresis in p-GaN metal–oxide–semiconductor capacitor with atomic-layer-deposited Al2O3 as gate dielectric

The electrical hysteresis in current–voltage (I–V) and capacitance–voltage characteristics was observed in an atomic-layer-deposited Al2O3/p-GaN metal–oxide–semiconductor capacitor (PMOSCAP). The absolute minimum leakage currents of the PMOSCAP for forward and backward I–V scans occurred not at 0 V but at −4.4 and +4.4 V, respectively. A negative flat-band voltage shift of 5.5 V was acquired with a capacitance step from +4.4 to +6.1 V during the forward scan. Mg surface accumulation on p-GaN was demonstrated to induce an Mg–Ga–Al–O oxidized layer with a trap density on the order of 1013 cm−2. The electrical hysteresis is attributed to the hole trapping and detrapping process in the traps of the Mg–Ga–Al–O layer via the Poole–Frenkel mechanism.
Flow Rates in Liquid Chromatography, Gas Chromatography and Supercritical Fluid Chromatography: A Tool for Optimization

This paper aimed to develop a standalone application for optimizing flow rates in liquid chromatography (LC), gas chromatography (GC) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). To do so, Van Deemter’s equation, Knox’ equation and Golay’s equation were implemented in a MATLAB script and subsequently a graphical user interface (GUI) was created. The application will show the optimal flow rate or linear velocity and the corresponding plate height for the set input parameters. Furthermore, a plot will be shown in which the plate height is plotted against the linear flow velocity. Hence, this application will give optimized flow rates for any set conditions with minimal effort.
