Unified picture of superfluidity: From Bogoliubov's approximation to Popov's hydrodynamic theory
Creators: name: Dupuis, N.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Other Condensed Matter (cond-mat.other)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using a non-perturbative renormalization-group technique, we compute the momentum and frequency dependence of the anomalous self-energy and the one-particle spectral function of two-dimensional interacting bosons at zero temperature. Below a characteristic momentum scale $k_G$, where the Bogoliubov approximation breaks down, the anomalous self-energy develops a square root singularity and the Goldstone mode of the superfluid phase (Bogoliubov sound mode) coexists with a continuum of excitations, in agreement with the predictions of Popov's hydrodynamic theory. Thus our results provide a unified picture of superfluidity in interacting boson systems and connect Bogoliubov's theory (valid for momenta larger than $k_G$) to Popov's hydrodynamic approach.

description: Artifacts such as log data and network traffic are fundamental for cybersecurity research, e.g., in the area of intrusion detection. Yet, most research is based on artifacts that are not available to others or cannot be adapted to own purposes, thus making it difficult to reproduce and build on existing work. In this paper, we identify the challenges of artifact generation with the goal of conducting sound experiments that are valid, controlled, and reproducible. We argue that testbeds for artifact generation have to be designed specifically with reproducibility and adaptability in mind. To achieve this goal, we present SOCBED, our proof-of-concept implementation and the first testbed with a focus on generating realistic log data for cybersecurity experiments in a reproducible and adaptable manner. SOCBED enables researchers to reproduce testbed instances on commodity computers, adapt them according to own requirements, and verify their correct functionality. We evaluate SOCBED with an exemplary, practical experiment on detecting a multi-step intrusion of an enterprise network and show that the resulting experiment is indeed valid, controlled, and reproducible. Both SOCBED and the log dataset underlying our evaluation are freely available.

Year: 2012

description: This research aims to follow up the career progress of graduates of the faculty of tourism and hotels, Minia University. In addition, it seeks to investigate if there is a gape between the tourism education and the work market according to the experience of graduates. A survey was conducted of a convenient sample of graduates from the three different departments (tourist studies, hotel studies and tour guidance) of the faculty of tourism, Minia University. The results revealed that 76% of graduates are employed in general, and the majority (78%) among them is employed in the hospitality and tourism sector. Although a great number of graduates join the sector shortly after graduation, half of them faced difficulties in work which are represented in the most cases in the incompetence of foreign languages followed by the shortage of experience. More males than females intend to leave their work in the tourism field.

description: The Herschel Reference Survey is a guaranteed time Herschel key project and will be a benchmark study of dust in the nearby universe. The survey will complement a number of other Herschel key projects including large cosmological surveys that trace dust in the distant universe. We will use Herschel to produce images of a statistically-complete sample of 323 galaxies at 250, 350 and 500 micron. The sample is volume-limited, containing sources with distances between 15 and 25 Mpc and flux limits in the K-band to minimize the selection effects associated with dust and with young high-mass stars and to introduce a selection in stellar mass. The sample spans the whole range of morphological types (ellipticals to late-type spirals) and environments (from the field to the centre of the Virgo Cluster) and as such will be useful for other purposes than our own. We plan to use the survey to investigate (i) the dust content of galaxies as a function of Hubble type, stellar mass and environment, (ii) the connection between the dust content and composition and the other phases of the interstellar medium and (iii) the origin and evolution of dust in galaxies. In this paper, we describe the goals of the survey, the details of the sample and some of the auxiliary observing programs that we have started to collect complementary data. We also use the available multi-frequency data to carry out an analysis of the statistical properties of the sample.

description: Given that particular groups and relationships involve different tasks and require different behaviours from individuals, the personality traits associated with successful and mutually beneficial outcomes in a given task should be especially important when selecting partners for that task. In the current study, previously-unacquainted participants were given a description of the cooperative task that they would have to perform in a series of dyads with other participants, and were asked to select partner(s) with whom they would like to perform this task. Half of participants performed a task that involved the sharing of monetary funds and thus required traits such as trustworthiness, fairness, and sincerity in order to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome (trust-based task), whereas the remaining half performed a task that involved solving a problem derived from a test of intellectual ability and thus required traits such as intelligence, competence, and skillfulness (competence-based task). Every participant rated the perceived personality of each one of their interaction partners in a round-robin manner. This study therefore aims to investigate which personality traits are linked with partner selection in the two types of cooperative decision tasks, and takes a novel approach by examining the relation between personality and partner selection using effects derived from the Social Relations Model (SRM).

description: We have developed a new software to perform the measurement of galaxy cluster pressure profiles from high angular resolution thermal SZ observations. The code allows the user to take into account various features of millimeter observations, such as point spread function (PSF) convolution, pipeline filtering, correlated residual noise, and point source contamination, in a forward modeling approach. One of the key advantages of the code is the possibility to use binned, non-parametric pressure profiles, enabling the detection of pressure features better than smooth functions such as the traditionally used generalized Navarro-Frenk-White profile. Another major upside is the performance of the software, enabling the extraction of the pressure profile and associated confidence intervals via MCMC sampling in times as short as a few minutes. We present the code and its validation on various realistic synthetic maps, of ideal spherical clusters, as well as of realistic, hydrodynamically simulated objects. We plan to publicly release the software in the coming months.

description: Aim To systematically characterize radiological features of patients with spina bifida, their relationship to cognitive function, and differences between spina bifida aperta (SBA) and spina bifida occulta (SBO). Method In a retrospective study of 265 patients (117 females, 148 males; median age at imaging 11y, range 1-47y; SBA n=206, SBO n=59), the radiological phenotype was assessed through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (SBA n=171, SBO n=59). In 126 patients (SBA n=116, SBO n=10) Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (KABC) or Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition (WISC-IV) and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) were performed. Results Patients with spina bifida show numerous brain malformations, always present for SBA but rarely for SBO. The most frequent brain malformations in SBA included abnormal corpus callosum (69%), hypoplastic pons (50%), and hypoplastic mesencephalon (20%). Cognitive total IQ scores were below average in 44% (KABC) to 49% (WISC-IV) of children with SBA, while almost all children with SBO scored at least average. Stenogyria (p=0.006), pons (p=0.003), and mesencephalon hypoplasia (p=0.01) correlated with lower total IQ score and verbal comprehension. Various brain malformations correlate significantly with several cognitive domains, while lesion level only correlates with processing speed. Interpretation IQ scores were significantly lower in patients with SBA than in patients with SBO. Verbal competence, perceptual reasoning, and working memory were significantly impaired for SBA and correlated with stenogyria and abnormalities of the midbrain and corpus callosum.

description: The latest place formation of Antalya and as regards of the traditional city development has started in 1950s. Today the rapid change of Antalya is the biggest one of Turkish history of which definition has become gradually difficult. This change has occurred to a large extent without scientific and democratic plan. Problems like instability of social structure, migration, deviating urbanization, housing built without acquiring the land rights, structural and environmental pollution have seen in Antalya so many serious precautions should be taken to realize the place formation of city accurately. In this research, it is aimed at solving the problems of the place formation of Antalya and as regards of the changes in traditional identification that have been detected by all components in the city and city side with its functional structure. In addition, identifying the criteria, which will be effective on explaining and existence of urban identity, could develop.

description: Let $(X^{m+1}, g)$ be a globally hyperbolic spacetime with Cauchy surface diffeomorphic to an open subset of $\mathbb R^m$. The Legendrian Low conjecture formulated by Natário and Tod says that two events $x,y\inß$ are causally related if and only if the Legendrian link of spheres $\mathfrak S_x, \mathfrak S_y$ whose points are light geodesics passing through $x$ and $y$ is non-trivial in the contact manifold of all light geodesics in $X$. The Low conjecture says that for $m=2$ the events $x,y$ are causally related if and only if $\mathfrak S_x, \mathfrak S_y$ is non-trivial as a topological link. We prove the Low and the Legendrian Low conjectures. We also show that similar statements hold for any globally hyperbolic $(X^{m+1}, g)$ such that a cover of its Cauchy surface is diffeomorphic to an open domain in $\mathbb R^m.$

description: The purpose of this research is to identify and compare the projected and perceived images of Cyprus following repositioning. Secondary sources such as brochures, advertising campaigns and tourism websites were used to identify the projected image and a survey was performed to measure the perceived image. Questionnaires including closed and open-ended questions evaluating destination attributes and perceived image were disseminated to 393 British tourists. The research identified the differences between the two concepts, revealing that the marketing strategy of Cyprus has not managed to enhance destination image. The paper concludes with recommendations on marketing Cyprus tourism.

description: One of the key elements needed to perform the cosmological exploitation of a cluster survey is the relation between the survey observable and the cluster masses. Among these observables, the integrated Compton parameter $Y$ is a measurable quantity in Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) surveys, which tightly correlates with cluster mass. The calibration of the relation between the Compton parameter $Y_{500}$ and the mass $M_{500}$ enclosed within radius $R_{500}$ is one of the scientific goals of the NIKA2 SZ Large Program (LPSZ). We present an ongoing study to forecast the constraining power of this program, using mock simulated datasets that mimic the large program sample, selection function, and typical uncertainties on $Y_{500}$ and $M_{500}$. We use a Bayesian hierarchical modeling that enables taking into account a large panel of systematic effects. Our results show that the LPSZ can yield unbiased estimates of the scaling relation parameters for realistic input parameter values. The relative uncertainties on these parameters is $\sim 10\%$ for the intercept and slope of the scaling relation, and $\sim 34\%$ for its intrinsic scatter, foreshadowing precise estimates to be delivered by the LPSZ.

However, sophisticated relationships among to wholesalers (tour operators) and retailers (travel agencies) quite deserve to further interests of the academicians. Therefore, proposed model of this research was generated to examine to B-to-B electronic commerce environment in travel sector and the roles of e-CRM features in wholesaler-retailer relationships. Structural equation modeling results indicated that satisfaction of the retailer travel agencies’ sales staff was positively and significantly effected by the website quality of the wholesaler tour operators’ extranet system. The results indicated any statistically significant relationship between customer services of the tour operator and satisfaction of the travel agencies’ sales staff.

description: We present an ab initio study of the (001) interfaces between two insulating perovskites, the polar LaAlO3 and the nonpolar SrTiO3. We observe an insulating-to-metallic transition above a critical LaAlO3 thickness. We explain that the high conductivity observed at the TiO2 /LaO interface and the lack of similar conductivity at the SrO/AlO2 interface are inherent in the atomic geometry of the system. A large interfacial hopping matrix element between cations causes the formation of a bound electron state at the TiO2 /LaO interface. This mechanism for the formation of interfacial bound states suggests a robust means for tuning conductivities at various oxide heterointerfaces.

description: BACKGROUND: Allogeneic red blood cells (RBCs) have the potential to impact the immunosurveillance of the recipient and may therefore increase the risk of recurrence after cancer surgery. In this article the relationship between perioperative RBC transfusion and the risk of recurrence after ovarian cancer surgery is examined. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort analysis of a prospective database of patients who underwent surgery due to primary ovarian cancer between 2006 and 2014 and who had no residual disease after surgery. Patients who did and did not receive perioperative RBC transfusion were compared. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Propensity score matching (PSM) and Cox proportional hazards regression (CPH) was used to control for between-group differences of prognostic determinants. RESULTS: A total of 529 patients with a median follow-up of 51.4 months (95% CI, 46.1-56.5) were eligible for analysis. Of those, 408 patients (77.1%) received allogeneic, leukoreduced RBCs with a median of 4 units (IQR, 2-6) per patient. There was a strong selection bias of prognostic determinants between patients with and without transfusion. In unadjusted analysis, transfusion of RBCs was associated with an increased risk of cancer recurrence (hazard ratio [HR] of PFS 2.71 [95% CI, 1.94-3.77], p < 0.001). After bias reduction, transfusion of RBCs was no longer associated with an increased risk of cancer recurrence, neither in PSM-adjusted (HR 1.03 [95% CI, 0.59-1.80], p = 0.91), nor in multivariable CPH-adjusted analysis (HR 1.26 [95% CI, 0.85-1.86], p = 0.23). CONCLUSION Perioperative transfusion of RBCs did not increase the risk of recurrence after ovarian cancer surgery.

Year: 2012

description: Research investigates career ambitions, progression tactics and challenges among female hotel managers in Zimbabwean hotels. Data was gathered through a questionnaire survey of 84 female hotel managers in Zimbabwe. Most female hotel managers in Zimbabwe aspire to attain top management positions. However, they face several challenges in their attempts to achieve their career goals. To enhance their career progression prospects, there is a clear need to adopt more aggressive tactics, especially with regard to undertaking further study. For the industry there is need to institutionalise policies and structures that are more “woman-friendly”. However, cultural norms and values pose a major challenge for the change process. Further, women should take responsibility for their own careers. They could strengthen their promotion chances by undertaking postgraduate business leadership courses at esteemed institutions, and by being more assertive of their capabilities. The research focuses on Zimbabwean female hotel managers, whose career ambitions, progression tactics and challenges have not yet been documented.

description: Forward head posture (FHP) is a prevalent adaptive postural malalignment caused due to poor working and leisure habits. Prolonged FHP eventually leads to muscle imbalance, postural instability, and can advance the progression of cervical disorders. Early intervention through screening may help to prevent this posture from being symptomatic. Therefore, correction of FHP through exercise regimen is necessary. Callisthenic exercises (CE) and motor control exercises (MCE) are known to improve muscle imbalance. Hence, it was hypothesised that CE and MCE would have positive effects on craniovertebral angle (CVA) and postural stability in asymptomatic FHP. This randomised clinical trial recruited 30 individuals aged between 18 and 40 years with asymptomatic FHP. The CE group received callisthenic exercises whereas MCE group received motor control exercises, thrice weekly for 4 weeks. The outcome measures were CVA, postural stability [risk of fall (ROF), stability index (SI), and anterio-posterior sway (AP sway)] and craniocervical flexion endurance (CCFE), which were assessed using photographic method, TETRAX, and pressure biofeedback unit (PBU) respectively. Paired t-test for within group analysis showed statistically significant improvement in all the outcomes for both the groups (P <0.05). Between group analysis by independent t-test revealed that both groups had similar improvement in CVA (P = 1.00) and CCFE (P = 0.08) but CE showed better improvement for postural stability (P <0.05) than MCE. CE and MCE are effective in improving CVA, postural stability, and CCFE in individuals with asymptomatic FHP. However, CE has a superior effect on postural stability over MCE.

description: Antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs are regularly encountered in different aspects of forensic toxicology, and some cases require the examination of hair samples. In this study, common antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs regarding hair concentrations over the past decades were reviewed. Although numerous publications around method validations, case reports, or controlled dose studies were found, apparently there is a lack of comprehensive data for many substances. Information on the hair length and dosage across the publications varied largely, and case numbers were generally low except for several retrospective controlled dose studies. Many substances were described only in method validations or case reports, and data were obtained from small case numbers. On the contrary, clozapine, haloperidol, amitriptyline, nortriptyline, risperidone and its metabolite, methylphenidate, citalopram, chlorpromazine, chlorprothixene, and quetiapine had a well-founded database as these substances were investigated in controlled dose studies with higher case numbers. Given the advancements made in analytical techniques over the past years, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry techniques were the methods of choice and allowed the detection of chemical compounds at low concentrations. The controversy around a potential use of hair analysis to estimate the dosage remains as dose-concentration studies provided divergent results. A harmonization on the investigated hair length as well as on the extraction protocol would be of favor to achieve better comparability. Although hair analysis research focused mainly on drug abuse, availability of more data on antidepressants and antipsychotics would help to gain better knowledge and assist other forensic investigators.

description: There is a rich variety of customer satisfaction evaluation techniques, nevertheless rarely other approaches than the attribute-orientated ones are used. Therefore the article gives a short overview on existing alternatives and their specifics in the first part. The second part focuses on an evaluation of those methods in a practical way, by applying a bunch of methods in the context of leisure research. Based on an industrial heritage site, attribute-orientated-, incident-orientated approaches as well as silent hooping techniques are applied, in order to research their specifics and to evaluate the data provide by each methodological approach. Specific opportunities and threats are elaborated for each method in the context of leisure research.

TOURISM AND NEUROSCIENCE: A PRELIMINARY APPROACH
Creators: name: Liebman Parrinello, Giuli
Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2012

description: Tourism studies, generally considered multi-, inter- and even post-disciplinary, has not yet embraced neuroscience, despite the fact that the latter has been extending its domain in the last decades, opening up to human consciousness, as well as to social issues, arts and the humanities. This paper argues that it is also necessary for tourism social studies to take into account recent developments in this field. Bearing in mind a broad conceptualization of the tourist experience, an attempt will be made to indicate formulations in neuroscience which potentially cast new light on various aspects of tourism. The following points are evidenced: post-cartesian embodiment (seemingly already a common background); so-called qualia, linked to phenomenological experience; the issue of the ‘extended mind’; the discovery of mirror neurons; neuroethics, which can clearly be seen in relation to the ethics of tourism. In conclusion, the recent popularization of neuroscience through brain imaging is briefly explored.

description: Real-world content recommendation marketplaces exhibit certain behaviors and are imposed by constraints that are not always apparent in common static offline data sets. One example that is common in ad marketplaces is swift ad turnover. New ads are introduced and old ads disappear at high rates every day. Another example is ad discontinuity, where existing ads may appear and disappear from the market for non negligible amounts of time due to a variety of reasons (e.g., depletion of budget, pausing by the advertiser, flagging by the system, and more). These behaviors sometimes cause the model's loss surface to change dramatically over short periods of time. To address these behaviors, fresh models are highly important, and to achieve this (and for several other reasons) incremental training on small chunks of past events is often employed. These behaviors and algorithmic optimizations occasionally cause model parameters to grow uncontrollably large, or \emph{diverge}. In this work present a systematic method to prevent model parameters from diverging by imposing a carefully chosen set of constraints on the model's latent vectors. We then devise a method inspired by primal-dual optimization algorithms to fulfill these constraints in a manner which both aligns well with incremental model training, and does not require any major modifications to the underlying model training algorithm. We analyze, demonstrate, and motivate our method on OFFSET, a collaborative filtering algorithm which drives Yahoo native advertising, which is one of VZM's largest and faster growing businesses, reaching a run-rate of many hundreds of millions USD per year. Finally, we conduct an online experiment which shows a substantial reduction in the number of diverging instances, and a significant improvement to both user experience and revenue.

description: We study vaccine control for disease spread on an adaptive network modeling disease avoidance behavior. Control is implemented by adding Poisson distributed vaccination of susceptibles. We show that vaccine control is much more effective in adaptive networks than in static networks due to an interaction between the adaptive network rewiring and the vaccine application. Disease extinction rates using vaccination are computed, and orders of magnitude less vaccine application is needed to drive the disease to extinction in an adaptive network than in a static one.

description: Driven non-equilibrium structural phase transformation has been probed using time varying resistance fluctuations or noise. We demonstrate that the non-Gaussian component (NGC) of noise obtained by evaluating the higher order statistics of fluctuations, serves as a simple kinetic detector of these phase transitions. Using the martensite transformation in free-standing wires of nickel-titanium binary alloys as a prototype, we observe clear deviations from the Gaussian background in the transformation zone, indicative of the long range correlations in the system as the phase transforms. The viability of non- Gaussian statistics as a robust probe to structural phase transition was also confirmed by comparing the results from differential scanning calorimetry measurements. We further studied the response of the NGC to the modifications in the microstructure on repeated thermal cycling, as well as the variations in the temperature drive rate, and explained the results using established simplistic models based on the different competing time scales. Our experiments (i) suggest an alternative method to estimate the transformation temperature scales with high accuracy, and (ii) establish a connection between the material-specific evolution of microstructure to the statistics of its linear response. Since the method depends on an in-built long-range correlation during transformation, it could be portable to other structural transitions, as well as to materials of different physical origin and size.

THE KEY DETERMINANTS OF AND BARRIERS TO INTERNET ADOPTION IN SMALL AND MEDIUMSIZED HOTELS
Creators: name: Lian Chan, Jennifer Kim
Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2012

description: The present paper presents qualitative empirical evidence that addresses why internet usage/adoption is low and how it can be improved in small and mediumsized hotels in Malaysia. It explores the key barriers to and influencing factors of internet adoption in a sample of 25 Malaysian small and medium-sized hotels based on a theoretical framework of the organisational innovation and resourcebased view theories. Key barriers to internet usage include owner/operator characteristics, cost and investment, firm size and internet access. Operator/user’s assessment of perceived resource readiness, perceived potential utility and perceived performance seem to be the key influencing factors. The proposed holistic internet adoption framework also serves as a novel tool and a useful guide for individuals and ICT policymakers for improving and implementing e-commerce/internet. This paper adds to the internet adoption and decision literature and advances the theoretical and practical understanding of internet usage in small and medium-sized hotels, but requires further validation in other countries.

Third Order Effect of Rotation on Stellar Oscillations of a $β$-Cephei Star
Creators: name: Karami, K.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Here the effect of rotation up to third order in the angular velocity of a star on the p, f and g modes is investigated. To do this, the third-order perturbation formalism presented by Soufi et al. (1998) and revised by Karami (2008), was used. I quantify by numerical calculations the effect of rotation on the oscillation frequencies of a uniformly rotating $β$-Cephei star with 12 $M_\odot$. For an equatorial velocity of 90 $\rm km s^{-1}$, it is found that the second- and third-order corrections for $(l,m)=(5,-4)$, for instance, are of order of 0.07% of the frequency for radial order $n=-3$ and reaches up to 0.6% for $n=-20$.
