description: Some physical systems like the quantum mechanics with magnetic charges or field theoretical models appearing in the context of string theory are formulated in terms of non-associative algebras. Hence, demand non-associative star products for its description. However, unlike its associative counterpart the situation with non-associative star products is quite unclear. At the moment it is not evident which condition should be used instead of the associativity in the definition of the non-associative star multiplication. In mathematics, the natural generalization of the associativity is the requirement that the multiplication should be alternative, the associator of three elements should vanish if each two of them are equal. We show that for the alternative closed star product the integrated associator vanishes. In particular, it means that on-shell there will be no violation of associativity in string scattering amplitudes. We discuss the examples of the alternative and closed star products. In particular, it is constructed the star product corresponding to the algebra of octonions.

description: This study aimed to explore psychopathic tendencies and personal experiences among methamphetamine users. The study intended to examine the psychological and mental aspects of individuals who have used methamphetamine. In the current study, data from 150 individuals were analyzed quantitatively, with 25 cases were subsequently selected for qualitative study. The date was collected from addiction and rehabilitation centers in Rawalpindi/Islamabad, Pakistan, using quantitative and qualitative research methods. An Explanatory Sequential Research Design was used, collecting and analyzing quantitative data, subsequently, followed by qualitative data providing contextual understanding and deeper insight of the finding. The Psychopathic Inclination Scale was used to assess psychopathic tendencies, while semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore personal experiences. The analysis incorporated various factors including age, education, drug use duration, consumption. The results revealed heightened psychopathic tendencies among youngers and those with higher education levels. Longer methamphetamine usage showed a significant correlation with increased psychopathic tendencies. The qualitative study findings further showed the emergence of symptoms related to positive emotion, antisocial personality and psychosis, and hypersexual dysfunction in individuals who use methamphetamine. Qualitative findings provided valuable insights into lived experiences of individuals using methamphetamine, revealing symptoms of sociopathy, psychopathy, mania, and sexual dysfunction.

description: We derive the Do and Norbury recursion formula for the one-loop mean of an irregular spectral curve from a variant of replica method by Brezín and Hikami. We express this recursion in special times in which all terms $W_1^{(g)}$ of the genus expansion of the one-loop mean are polynomials. We find a generalization of this recursion to the generalized Laguerre polynomial case.

Associated production of electroweak bosons and heavy mesons at LHCb and prospects to observe double parton interactions

description: The production of weak gauge bosons in association with heavy flavored mesons at the LHCb conditions is considered, and a detailed study of the different contributing processes is presented including single (SPS) and double (DPS) parton scattering mechanisms. We find that the usual DPS factorization formula needs to be corrected for the limited partonic phase space, and that including the relevant corrections reduces discrepancies in the associated $ZD$ production. We conclude finally that double parton scattering dominates the production of same-sign $W^\pm D^\pm$ states, as well as the production of $W^-$ bosons associated with $B$-mesons. The latter processes can thus be regarded as new useful DPS indicators.

Subjects: subject: Distributed Energy
subject: ENERGY EFFICIENCY (Residential and commercial)

description: This work has been carried out as part of the ETI’s wider Macro Distributed Energy (DE) research project to understand the economics and therefore the opportunities for DE across the UK. Understanding the capital cost (CAPEX) of District Heating Networks (DHN) is an important part of that process as the networks typically represent 60% of the capital cost of a scheme.The work combines a statistical approach with detailed design modelling tools incorporating GIS mapping data and cost data from recent UK DHN projects.The economic case for Macro-DE in Great Britain (GB) is being assessed by carrying out detailed economic and energy modelling for 20 Characteristic Zones.The results from these zones will then be extrapolated to GB as a whole.

The purpose of this report is to document the results obtained from District Heating Network (DHN) modelling of a sample comprising of three Characteristic Zones (CZs) containing 16 Middle Layer Super Output Areas (MLSOAs) in total.The purpose of carrying out DHN modelling in the Macro DE project is to verify the proposed Macro DE Cost Algorithm and determine any unknown factors to be able to confidently extrapolate results for the remaining characteristic zones which will not be individually modelled.The costs calculated for each CZ will then be used to establish the GB benefits case for DHNs. An additional benefit of the DHN modelling is the associated calculations of heat loss and required pumping energy which also has been included in the analysis.

description: The aim of this paper is the study of thermal vacuum condensate for scalar and fermion fields. We analyze the thermal states at the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and we show that the vacuum expectation value of the energy momentum tensor density of photon fields reproduces the energy density and pressure of the CMB. We perform the computations in the formal framework of the thermo field dynamics. We also consider the case of neutrinos and thermal states at the temperature of the neutrino cosmic background. Consistency with the estimated lower bound of the sum of the active neutrino masses is verified. In the boson sector, non trivial contribution to the energy of the universe is given by particles of masses of the order of $10^{-4}eV$ compatible with the ones of the axion-like particles. The fractal self-similar structure of the thermal radiation is also discussed and related to the coherent structure of the thermal vacuum.

Professionalisation of the Martial Arts: the perspectives of experts on the concept of an independently awarded teaching qualification.

description: In the United Kingdom there is an unregulated martial arts ‘industry’. The aim of this study was to examine whether this ‘industry’ required professionalisation through the rationalisation of qualifications for teaching, instructing or coaching practice. Currently, the martial arts consist of a very disparate set of organisations which have what, at best, could be called a varied range of professional standards across teaching, instructing and coaching. Professionalism struggles with the lassaiz-faire approach to qualifications and this creates differing expectations of the teachers, coaches and instructors within the organisations Viewpoints differ as to whether the individuals need more standards and qualifications. The study of a sample of expert views found that there is some recognition within the martial arts ‘industry’ that there needs a change in approach to tighten up the processes of determining who can and cannot coach, instruct or teach martial arts. Points of views expressed by the interviewees were: that standards and qualification should be demanding; that there is a need for a professional body and rationalised approach to qualifications but such general improvements must reflect the specific requirements of each particular art. Overall there was little optimism that professionalisation could be achieved. However, the desire for professionalisation was a significant finding. Recognising this, the recommendations from this study are set out in a ‘Manifesto for Change’ which aims to transform the current situation described by one expert as being one where ‘the organisations are out for themselves and keep people separate from each other.’ The essence of the manifesto concerns: the standardisation of teaching, coaching and instructing qualifications; the development of an overarching organisation to control the martial arts; recognition by other bodies outside of the martial arts of these standards.

description: We recall and update, both theoretically and phenomenologically, our (nearly) forty-years-old proposal of a string-junction as a necessary complement to the conventional classification of hadrons based just on their quark-antiquark constituents. In that proposal single (though in general metastable) hadronic states are associated with "irreducible" gauge-invariant operators consisting of Wilson lines (visualized as strings of color flux tubes) that may either end on a quark or an antiquark, or annihilate in triplets at a junction $J$ or an anti-junction $\bar{J}$. For the junction-free sector (ordinary $q\, \bar{q}$ mesons and glueballs) the picture is supported by large-$N$ (number of colors) considerations as well as by a lattice strong-coupling expansion. Both imply the famous OZI rule suppressing quark-antiquark annihilation diagrams. For hadrons with $J$ and/or $\bar{J}$ constituents the same expansions support our proposal, including its generalization of the OZI rule to the suppression of $J-\bar{J}$ annihilation diagrams. Such a rule implies that hadrons with junctions are "mesophobic" and thus unusually narrow if they are below threshold for decaying into as many baryons as their total number of junctions (two for a tetraquark, three for a pentaquark). Experimental support for our claim, based on the observation that narrow multiquark states typically lie below (well above) the relevant baryonic (mesonic) thresholds, will be presented.

Conformally-rescaled Schwarzschild metrics do not predict flat galaxy rotation curves

description: AbstractFor conformally invariant gravity theories defined on Riemannian spacetime and having the Schwarzschild–de-Sitter (SdS) metric as a solution in the Einstein gauge, we consider whether one may conformally rescale this solution to obtain flat rotation curves, such as those observed in galaxies, without the need for dark matter. Contrary to recent claims in the literature, we show that if one works in terms of quantities that can be physically measured, then in any conformal frame the trajectories followed by ‘ordinary’ matter particles are merely the timelike geodesics of the SdS metric, as one might expect. This resolves the apparent frame dependence of physical predictions and unambiguously yields rotation curves with no flat region. We also show that attempts to model rising rotation curves by fitting the coefficient of the quadratic term in the SdS metric individually for each galaxy are precluded, since this coefficient is most naturally interpreted as proportional to a global cosmological constant. We further extend our analysis beyond static, spherically-symmetric systems to show that the invariance of particle dynamics to the choice of conformal frame holds for arbitary metrics, again as expected. Moreover, we show that this conclusion remains valid for conformally invariant gravity theories defined on more general Weyl–Cartan spacetimes, which include Weyl, Riemann–Cartan and Riemannian spacetimes as special cases.

description: We analyse the kinematics of $\sim 2000$ giant stars in the direction of the Galactic bulge, extracted from the Gaia-ESO survey in the region $-10^\circ \lesssim \ell \lesssim 10^\circ$ and $-11^\circ \lesssim b \lesssim -3^\circ$. We find distinct kinematic trends in the metal rich ($\mathrm{[M/H]}>0$) and metal poor ($\mathrm{[M/H]}<0$) stars in the data. The velocity dispersion of the metal-rich stars drops steeply with latitude, compared to a flat profile in the metal-poor stars, as has been seen previously. We argue that the metal-rich stars in this region are mostly on orbits that support the boxy-peanut shape of the bulge, which naturally explains the drop in their velocity dispersion profile with latitude. The metal rich stars also exhibit peaky features in their line-of-sight velocity histograms, particularly along the minor axis of the bulge. We propose that these features are due to stars on resonant orbits supporting the boxy-peanut bulge. This conjecture is strengthened through the comparison of the minor axis data with the velocity histograms of resonant orbits generated in simulations of buckled bars. The 'banana' or 2:1:2 orbits provide strongly bimodal histograms with narrow velocity peaks that resemble the Gaia-ESO metal-rich data.

The third exactly solvable hypergeometric quantum-mechanical potential

description: We introduce the third independent exactly solvable hypergeometric potential, after the Eckart and the Pöschl-Teller potentials, which is proportional to an energy-independent parameter and has a shape that is independent of this parameter. The general solution of the Schrödinger equation for this potential is written through fundamental solutions each of which presents an irreducible combination of two Gauss hypergeometric functions. The potential is an asymmetric step-barrier with variable height and steepness. Discussing the transmission above such a barrier, we derive a compact formula for the reflection coefficient.

Next, I introduce the strong-coupling lattice QCD, which is one of the promising methods to access the QCD phase diagram including the first order phase boundary. In the last part, I discuss the QCD phase diagram in asymmetric matter, which should be formed in compact star phenomena.

This is the final report on the benefits case for DE in Great Britain.

The assessment of the potential for DE across GB follows a staged process. It makes use of the 20 Characteristic Zones (CZs) which have been identified in work package 2 of this macro DE study as representative of areas potentially suitable for macro DE. A macro DE scheme is optimised for each CZ made up of a District Heating Network (DHN) and energy centre.The optimisation produces the lowest ‘levelised heat cost’ solution for the CZ.These results are then aggregated to a GB level by multiplying up to all zones within each class represented by a CZ. By comparing the macro DE heat costs with counterfactual costs from air source heat pumps (ASHPs) and gas boilers, an assessment can be made on where macro DE offers a more economic solution. Different GB uptakes can then be assessed based on zones where macro DE is economic, a net economic case (with some economic zones cross subsidising some un-economic zones), and a maximum CO2 reduction case (where the macro DE costs are not considered).

The report concludesThere is a very large potential for macro DE using gas fired CHP in the 2010s and 2020s.Despite the technical and economic potential, many barriers exist which future policy aimed at supporting macro DE can help overcome.Macro DE may be a significant contributor to GB electricity supply with wide spread deployment.DHN costs dominate the capital expenditure and access to low cost finance can help reduce this impact.The CO2 savings from gas CHP will reduce in the 2030s, but alternative forms of generation can make use of the flexibility offered by DHNs.

description: PURPOSE: To investigate whether a machine learning (ML)-based radiomics model applied to 18F-FDG PET/MRI is effective in molecular subtyping of breast cancer (BC) and specifically in discriminating triple negative (TN) from other molecular subtypes of BC. METHODS: Eighty-six patients with 98 BC lesions (Luminal A = 10, Luminal B = 51, HER2+ = 12, TN = 25) were included and underwent simultaneous 18F-FDG PET/MRI of the breast. A 3D segmentation of BC lesion was performed on T2w, DCE, DWI and PET images. Quantitative diffusion and metabolic parameters were calculated and radiomics features extracted. Data were selected using the LASSO regression and used by a fine gaussian support vector machine (SVM) classifier with a 5-fold cross validation for identification of TNBC lesions. RESULTS: Eight radiomics models were built based on different combinations of quantitative parameters and/or radiomic features. The best performance (AUROC 0.887, accuracy 82.8%, sensitivity 79.7%, specificity 86%, PPV 85.3%, NPV 80.8%) was found for the model combining first order, neighborhood gray level dependence matrix and size zone matrix-based radiomics features extracted from ADC and PET images. CONCLUSION: A ML-based radiomics model applied to 18F-FDG PET/MRI is able to non-invasively discriminate TNBC lesions from other BC molecular subtypes with high accuracy. In a future perspective, a "virtual biopsy" might be performed with radiomics signatures.

This deliverable is numbers 2 and 3 of 3 in Work Package 2. It builds on the approach for calculating energy demand as described in deliverable D2.0.The outcome of the work described in this deliverable is the creation of 946 zones of demand which account for 55% of the GB energy demand across 4% of its geographical area. From these 946 zones of demand, 20 ‘characteristic zones of demand’ have been identified. Between them these zones have been shown to be suitable for characterising the energy demand (both heat and electricity) for GB and will be used in the development of a benefits case for DE in GB and the identification of technology development opportunities which will facilitate the up-take of macro scale DE.These two final points will be addressed in work package 5 of the project

description: We use the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to reduce the uncertainty in the local value of the Hubble constant (H_0) from 3.3% to 2.4%. Improvements come from new, near-infrared observations of Cepheid variables in 11 new hosts of recent SNe~Ia, more than doubling the sample of SNe~Ia having a Cepheid-calibrated distance for a total of 19; these leverage the magnitude-z relation based on 300 SNe~Ia at z<0.15. All 19 hosts and the megamaser system NGC4258 were observed with WFC3, thus nullifying cross-instrument zeropoint errors. Other improvements include a 33% reduction in the systematic uncertainty in the maser distance to NGC4258, more Cepheids and a more robust distance to the LMC from late-type DEBs, HST observations of Cepheids in M31, and new HST-based trigonometric parallaxes for Milky Way (MW) Cepheids. We consider four geometric distance calibrations of Cepheids: (i) megamasers in NGC4258, (ii) 8 DEBs in the LMC, (iii) 15 MW Cepheids with parallaxes, and (iv) 2 DEBs in M31. H_0 from each is 72.25+/-2.51, 72.04+/-2.67, 76.18+/-2.37, and 74.50+/-3.27 km/sec/Mpc, respectively. Our best estimate of 73.24+/-1.74 km/sec/Mpc combines the anchors NGC4258, MW, and LMC, and includes systematic errors for a final uncertainty of 2.4%. This value is 3.4 sigma higher than 66.93+/-0.62 km/sec/Mpc predicted by LambdaCDM with 3 neutrinos with mass 0.06 eV and the Planck data, but reduces to 2.1 sigma relative to the prediction of 69.3+/-0.7 km/sec/Mpc with the combination of WMAP+ACT+SPT+BAO, suggesting systematic uncertainties in CMB measurements may play a role in the tension. If we take the conflict between Planck and H_0 at face value, one plausible explanation could involve an additional source of dark radiation in the early Universe in the range of Delta N_eff=0.4-1. We anticipate significant improvements in H_0 from upcoming parallax measurements.

description: The significance of the margin of appreciation doctrine has been underscored recently with the adoption of Protocol No 15 which calls for the inclusion of the terms ‘margin of appreciation’ and ‘subsidiarity’ in the Preamble of the European Convention on Human Rights. This development reflects the disquiet amongst member States to the Convention that the doctrine is not being given enough weight by the European Court of Human Rights in the determination of cases before it. One of the interpretive tools that is perceived to be having a negative effect on the margin of appreciation is the living instrument doctrine which has been blamed for narrowing the margin of appreciation afforded to States. This thesis brings an original contribution to the literature in this area by considering the interaction between the margin of appreciation and living instrument doctrines in the case law of the Court. The contribution is achieved in two ways: (a) methodologically: through the methodology adopted which is a combination of the quantitative method of descriptive statistics and the qualitative method of doctrinal textual analysis; (b) substantively: through the systematic examination of the case law of the Court from January 1979 to December 2016 in which both the margin of appreciation and living instrument doctrines are present. The lens of the relationship between rights and duties is applied to the case analysis. The case analysis is used to draw conclusions on the nature of the relationship and whether living instrument arguments are superseding the margin of appreciation doctrine where there is conflict. The results of the case analysis also shows distinctions in the interpretive approaches of the Court at the admissibility and compliance stages. The overall results of the study show that there are a variety of ways in which interaction takes place between both doctrines and the nature of both doctrines will continue to require a close interaction between the Court and the State parties in their compliance with obligations under the Convention.

subject: ENERGY EFFICIENCY (Residential and commercial)

description: The objective of the Distributed Energy (DE) Programme is to increase the up-take of DE through the development of integrated systems in order to reduce through-life costs, improve ease of installation and increase efficiency in the combined generation of heat and electricity. Energy consumption within buildings represents the largest single category of final energy use in the UK, with UK residential buildings accounting for ~27% of the UK energy production, ~26% of CO2 emissions and 23% of GHG emissions. 82% of the energy consumed within UK domestic buildings is for space heating and hot water production.The “Micro DE” FRP (a scoping and feasibility study) was commissioned to underst and the range of opportunities to positively impact on energy consumption / CO2 reduction through technology development and demonstration of building control systems in combination with micro-generation/storage technologies.The project is a feasibility study, with a core element to help shape the benefits case for a much larger project / field trial.

The agreed objectives of the project were to deliver the following outputs:Evaluation of the potential benefits of current and emerging DE technologies inexisting domestic buildingsCategorisation ofThe stock of existing domestic UK buildingsBuilding occupants into groups of similar energy use behavioursThe main appliance types (energy use patterns, control strategies, etc)Evaluation of the platform technologies and standards likely to be used in developingbuilding control systemsAnalysis of the potential benefits of building energy service controlsProvisional model of existing UK domestic housing stock as the basis for predictingμDE impact out to 2030Identification of development and demonstration opportunities (including an outline ofhow to test these in an appropriate environment)The objective of the D3.5.1 report is to identify the opportunities to develop Micro DE and control technologies and quantify the potential impact on UK domestic energy use by 2040. It also addresses the impact of human interaction in the form of ‘comfort taking’, ie using Micro DE technologies / improvements in building thermal efficiency to improve occupant comfort through higher internal temperature as opposed to reduction of energy consumption

description: We examine the effect of misconceptions about friction on students' ability to solve problems and transfer from one context to another. We analyze written responses to paired isomorphic problems given to introductory physics students and discussions with a subset of students. Misconceptions associated with friction in problems were sometimes so robust that pairing them with isomorphic problems not involving friction did not help students fully discern their underlying similarities.

description: Recent studies have revealed that the symmetry of interparticle potential plays an important role in one-dimensional heat conduction problem. Here we demonstrate that by stretching or compressing the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-\b{eta} lattice, one can control the symmetry of the potential, and thus manipulate the decaying behavior of the heat current autocorrelation function (HCAF). In fact, stretching or compressing induces a fast decaying stage (FDS) during which the HCAF decays faster than power-law manners or in a power law manner but faster than ~t -1. The time range as well as the decay amplitude of the HCAF over the FDS increase as the stretching or compressing ratio increase, or as the temperature decreases. As a consequence, the thermal conductivity calculated following the Green-Kubo formula shows a truncation-time independent window, implying a system-size independent conductivity. Stretching or compressing also changes the exponent of the power-law tail of the HCAF. The complicated heat conduction behavior induced by stretching or compressing can be connected to the change of the symmetry of the interparticle potential.
