description: We discuss the possibilities of testing the recent claims of a relatively large value of the B --> D' transition form factor through B0--> D' pi+ and B- --> D' pi- decay modes. To estimate the width of the latter we need the decay constant of the radially excited D-meson that we computed in lattice QCD with Nf=2 dynamical flavors and after taking the continuum limit we found f(D')=117(25) MeV. We also provide an update for the values of the D-meson decay constants obtained by using maximally twisted mass QCD.

Conductance fluctuation and shot noise in disordered graphene systems, a perturbation expansion approach

description: We report the investigation of conductance fluctuation and shot noise in disordered graphene systems with two kinds of disorder, Anderson type impurities and random dopants. To avoid the brute-force calculation which is time consuming and impractical at low doping concentration, we develop an expansion method based on the coherent potential approximation (CPA) to calculate the average of four Green's functions and the results are obtained by truncating the expansion up to 6th order in terms of "single-site-T-matrix". Since our expansion is with respect to "single-site-T-matrix" instead of disorder strength $W$, good result can be obtained at 6th order for finite $W$. We benchmark our results against brute-force method on disordered graphene systems as well as the two dimensional square lattice model systems for both Anderson disorder and the random doping. The results show that in the regime where the disorder strength $W$ is small or the doping concentration is low, our results agree well with the results obtained from the brute-force method. Specifically, for the graphene system with Anderson impurities, our results for conductance fluctuation show good agreement for $W$ up to $0.4t$, where $t$ is the hopping energy. While for average shot noise, the results are good for $W$ up to $0.2t$. When the graphene system is doped with low concentration 1%, the conductance fluctuation and shot noise agrees with brute-force results for large $W$ which is comparable to the hopping energy $t$. At large doping concentration 10%, good agreement can be reached for conductance fluctuation and shot noise for $W$ up to $0.4t$. We have also tested our formalism on square lattice with similar results. Our formalism can be easily combined with linear muffin-tin orbital first-principles transport calculations for light doping nano-scaled systems, making prediction on variability of nano-devices.

description: Access to quality broadband connectivity is a necessity. Whether looking for a job, performing work, or attending school, high quality connectivity is a basic need for individuals in our digital world. There are thousands of publicly available free WiFi hotspots in Los Angeles County. How can one be sure that a WiFi location will meet the needs of an individual? Signal strength and download speeds are important to everyone, but some users need access to power outlets, or a quiet environment to work. Leveraging crowdsourcing (volunteered geographic information or VGI) the WiFi-nder 2 application system captures public WiFi hotspot locations. This article provides a clear view of the role “citizen sensors” play in cataloging publicly available WiFi hotspots for Los Angeles County. Key attributes about these hotspots are captured, and citizens and visitors quickly locate quality WiFi hotspots that match their needs. This WiFi-nder 2 application system provides a way for visitors and citizenry to rapidly assess if a WiFi hotspot location is right for them.

description: Recently, virtual environments (VE) have been increasingly used as settings for design and research. Using VE to visualize ideas from the initial steps of design, the architect is challenged to deal with perception of space, solid and void, without translations to and from a two dimensional media. The goal of the authors' studies was to identify how designers use and communicate early design ideas by using immersive three-dimensional (3D) VEs and how they describe 3D volumes using a different media. A series of experiments were undertaken, including navigation- and perception-tasks, designing in IVE, transcription of design, remote communication between design partners and controlled observations. They explored initial intentions of 3D-immersive design schemes, textual descriptions and collaborations within IVE. They discuss frameworks and factors influencing how architectural students communicate their proposals in an immersive Virtual Environment Design Studio, and how this approach of design studio enables to understand volumes and spatial relationships.

description: We simultaneously constrain cosmology and galaxy bias using measurements of galaxy abundances, galaxy clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We use the conditional luminosity function (which describes the halo occupation statistics as function of galaxy luminosity) combined with the halo model (which describes the non-linear matter field in terms of its halo building blocks) to describe the galaxy-dark matter connection. We explicitly account for residual redshift space distortions in the projected galaxy-galaxy correlation functions, and marginalize over uncertainties in the scale dependence of the halo bias and the detailed structure of dark matter haloes. Under the assumption of a spatially flat, vanilla ΛCDM cosmology, we focus on constraining the matter density, Ωm, and the normalization of the matter power spectrum, σ8, and we adopt WMAP7 priors for the spectral index, the Hubble parameter, and the baryon density. We obtain that \Omegam = 0.278_{-0.026}^{+0.023} and σ8 = 0.763_{-0.049}^{+0.064} (95% CL). These results are robust to uncertainties in the radial number density distribution of satellite galaxies, while allowing for non-Poisson satellite occupation distributions results in a slightly lower value for σ8 (0.744_{-0.047}^{+0.056}). These constraints are in excellent agreement (at the 1σ level) with the cosmic microwave background constraints from WMAP. This demonstrates that the use of a realistic and accurate model for galaxy bias, down to the smallest non-linear scales currently observed in galaxy surveys, leads to results perfectly consistent with the vanilla ΛCDM cosmology.

description: We report on the discovery of an infrared cometary nebula around PSR J1549$-$4848 in our Spitzer survey of a few middle-aged radio pulsars. Following the discovery, multi-wavelength imaging and spectroscopic observations of the nebula were carried out. We detected the nebula in Spitzer IRAC 8.0, MIPS 24 and 70 $μ$m imaging and in Spitzer IRS 7.5--14.4 $μ$m spectroscopic observations, and also in the WISE all-sky survey at 12 and 22 $μ$m.These data were analyzed in detail, and we find that the nebula can be described with a standard bow-shock shape, and that its spectrum contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and H$_2$ emission features. However, it is not certain which object drives the nebula. We analyze the field stars and conclude that none of them can be the associated object because stars with a strong wind or mass ejection that usually produce bow shocks are much brighter than the field stars. The pulsar is approximately 15\arcsec\ away from the region in which the associated object is expected to be located. In order to resolve the discrepancy, we suggest that a highly collimated wind could be emitted from the pulsar and produce the bow shock. X-ray imaging to detect the interaction of the wind with the ambient medium and high-spatial resolution radio imaging to determine the proper motion of the pulsar should be carried out, which will help verify the association of the pulsar with the bow shock nebula.

description: Routing in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) has been an active area of research for the last several years. In this paper, we address the problem of packet routing for efficient data forwarding in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) with the help of smart ants acting as intelligent agents. The aim of this paper is to study the use of such biologically inspired agents to effectively route the packets in WMNs. In particular, we propose AntMesh, a distributed interference-aware data forwarding algorithm which enables the use of smart ants to probabilistically and concurrently perform the routing and data forwarding in order to stochastically solve a dynamic network routing problem. AntMesh belongs to the class of routing algorithms inspired by the behaviour of real ants which are known to find a shortest path between their nest and a food source. In addition, AntMesh has the capability to effectively utilize the space/channel diversity typically common in multi radio WMNs and to discover high throughput paths with less inter-flow and intra-flow interference while conventional wireless network routing protocols fail to do so. We implement our smart ant-based routing algorithm in ns-2 and carry out extensive evaluation. We demonstrate the stability of AntMesh in terms of how quickly it adapts itself to the changing dynamics or load on the network. We tune the parameters of AntMesh algorithm to study the effect on its performance in terms of the routing load and end-to-end delay and have tested its performance under various network scenarios particularly fixed nodes mesh networks and also on mobile WMN scenarios. The results obtained show AntMesh's advantages that make it a valuable candidate to operate in mesh networks.

description: Two-particle correlations in relative rapidity and azimuth are studied for the p-Pb collisions at the LHC energy of 5.02 TeV in the framework of event-by-event 3+1-dimensional viscous hydrodynamics. It is found that for the highest-multiplicity events the observed ridge structures appear in a natural way, suggesting that collective flow may be an important element in the evolution of the system. We also discuss the role of the charge balancing and the transverse-momentum conservation.

description: The Lorentzian metric structure used in any field theory allows one to implement the relativistic notion of causality and to define a notion of time dimension. This article investigates the possibility that at the microscopic level the metric is Riemannian, i.e. locally Euclidean, and that the Lorentzian structure, that we usually consider as fundamental, is in fact an effective property that emerges in some regions of a 4-dimensional space with a positive definite metric. In such a model, there is no dynamics nor signature flip across some hypersurface; instead, all the fields develop a Lorentzian dynamics in these regions because they propagate in an effective metric. It is shown that one can construct a decent classical field theory for scalars, vectors and (Dirac) spinors in flat spacetime. It is then shown that gravity can be included but that the theory for the effective Lorentzian metric is not general relativity but of the covariant Galileon type. The constraints arising from stability, the equivalence principle and the constancy of fundamental constants are detailed and a phenomenological picture of the emergence of the Lorentzian metric is also given. The construction, while restricted to classical fields in this article, offers a new view on the notion of time.

description: Abstract
Background: Dermatophytes are group of fungi that infect keratinized tissues of human and animals. The group consist of three different genera namely, Trichophyton, Microsporum, Epidermophyton and several species within each genera. Among Trichophyton, Trichophyton rubrum is predominant, followed by various strains of Trichophyton mentagrophytes, which include both anthropophiles and zoophiles. Prevalence of dermatophytes varies with location and environmental condition. The infection is common worldwide with higher prevalence in tropical countries like India. The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of dermatophytoses, isolate and identify the dermatophyte from samples of clinically suspected cases attending tertiary care centre. Methods: Patients showing lesions typical of dermatophytes infection from outpatient Department of dermatology were sent to mycology unit for the KOH and culture in the Department of Microbiology for the period of 12 months. Results: A total of 60 samples suspected of dermatophytosis were received in the lab for KOH and culture. Out of these 60 samples, 26 (43.33%) were skin, 14 (23.33%) hair and 20 (33.33%) nails. Trichophyton was found to be the predominant etiological agent with 18 isolates out of 25 dermatophyte isolates, as only negligible number of isolates of Microsporum and Epidermophyton were grown, prevalence of T. mentagrophytes is increasing gradually as shown in our study in which we have obtained (24%) isolates and is second most common isolate next to T. rubrum. Conclusions: Among dermatophytes, T. rubrum was the predominant organism and followed by T. mentagrophytes. People are unaware of such dermatophytic infection due to their negligence which may deteriorate the quality of their lives. Proper diagnosis and timely treatment of such infections may improve the morbidity related to such infections.

description: We analyze the relation between the present (and foreseen) bounds on matter stability and the presence of TeV-scale color octet scalar states in nonsupersymmetric SO(10) grand unification with one adjoint Higgs representation triggering the symmetry breaking. This scenario, discarded long ago due to tree-level tachyonic instabilities appearing in all phenomenologically viable breaking patterns, has been recently revived at the quantum level. By including the relevant two-loop corrections we find a tight correlation between the octet mass and the unification scale which either requires a light color octet scalar within the reach of the LHC or, alternatively, a proton lifetime accessible to the forthcoming megaton-scale facilities.

description: Immune changes in the brain and periphery in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients have been documented, but how the central and the peripheral immune system impact disease progression is yet unknown. Alpha-synuclein (α-syn) pathological aggregates are the main component of Lewy bodies, the pathological hallmark of PD. Misfolded α-syn can act as a pro-inflammagen and initiate an inflammatory response on both peripheral and central myeloid cells, ultimately inducing both innate and adaptive immune responses. However, our current comprehension of the different immune cell types involved in the disease progression remains elusive. We aim to identify and describe new immune subtypes involved in the α-syn-induced inflammation in the brain and periphery using state-of-the-art techniques such as Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq). To do so, we have injected mouse α-syn pre-formed fibrils (PFF), monomeric α-syn or PBS into the striatum of male and female rats and performed scRNAseq on total brain cells 2- and 6-months post-injection. In parallel, blood and spleens were collected for evaluation of peripheral immune alterations. Bioinformatic analysis and validation is currently ongoing. Preliminary data show that the α-syn PFF-injected animals had an expansion of the responsive microglia, together with a macrophage and T-cell response. The immune events were sex specific. In addition, the injection of monomeric α-syn resulted in long lasting immune changes that differed from the PFF α-syn but also from the PBS control group. Immunohistochemical analysis has revealed enhanced phosphorylated α-syn pathology in PFF-injected animals after 2 months, resulting in significant dopaminergic neurodegeneration after 6 months. With the ongoing analysis, we expect to uncover disease-related immune changes in the brain critical for disease progression that might also explain the sex dimorphism seen in PD.

description: Here we extend a recent review (Physics Reports {\bf 521}, 205 (2012)) of amplitude death, namely the suppression of oscillations due to the coupling interactions between nonlinear dynamical systems. This is an important emergent phenomenon that is operative under a variety of scenarios. We summarize results of recent studies that have significantly added to our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie the process, and also discuss the phase--flip transition, a characteristic and unusual effect that occurs in the transient dynamics as the oscillations die out.

description: Abstract
Researchers are making great efforts to develop novel, superior, and accurate machine learning (ML) models for air pollution prediction using area characteristics. However, a performance comparison is limited by several factors, as it is almost impossible to compare efficiency with all different models as the number of models proposed by researchers increases and different conditions and datasets are implemented. In addition, the results cannot be generalized to all future time periods because the characteristics of the area and the sources of pollution may vary from time to time. In this paper, we provide a periodic review of the state of the art in the application of ML techniques in the context of PM2.5 concentration prediction, focusing on the analysis of dataset size, hyper parameters, and preprocessing techniques applied in Beijing. Seven articles from 2015 to 2023 with 42 prediction models were collected and reviewed according to the same geographical area and dependent variable, PM2.5. In particular, we examined the hyper parameters of the models to describe the differences in model architecture. We also examine how using the same predictive model in a geographic area for the same pollutant at different times can result in different performance indices. The results show that it is not possible to prefer one predictive model over the other based on its performance at different times, even when applied at exactly the same location and with the same output.

description: As competition in the banking sector increases, banks strive to maintain professionals in their workforce who can make a difference in this scenario. While gamification has emerged as a solution to increase employee motivation and engagement, many companies still view it with fear due to the lack of scientific proof of its results and standardisation. This research seeks to discover gamified training outcomes in the banking sector, comparing them with traditional training outcomes. The outcomes analysed were competence, autonomy, relatedness, engagement, and job satisfaction. The fuzzy-set analysis provided an in-depth investigation since it also considers non-linear and asymmetric results. The findings support that gamification applied in banking training results in job satisfaction at higher levels than traditional training. However, it was not supported that there is a significant difference in competence, relatedness and engagement. Autonomy, on the other hand, was not found as an outcome in both gamified and non-gamified training. This work contributes to the field of research on gamification for companies in the banking industry and those that can benefit from gamified training, such as training and service companies.

description: Distributions sensitive to the underlying event are studied in events containing one or more charged-particle jets produced in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These measurements reflect 800 inverse microbarns of data taken during 2010. Jets are reconstructed using the antikt algorithm with radius parameter R varying between 0.2 and 1.0. Distributions of the charged-particle multiplicity, the scalar sum of the transverse momentum of charged particles, and the average charged-particle pT are measured as functions of pT^JET in regions transverse to and opposite the leading jet for 4 GeV < pT^JET < 100 GeV. In addition, the R-dependence of the mean values of these observables is studied. In the transverse region, both the multiplicity and the scalar sum of the transverse momentum at fixed pT^JET vary significantly with R, while the average charged-particle transverse momentum has a minimal dependence on R. Predictions from several Monte Carlo tunes have been compared to the data; the predictions from Pythia 6, based on tunes that have been determined using LHC data, show reasonable agreement with the data, including the dependence on R. Comparisons with other generators indicate that additional tuning of soft-QCD parameters is necessary for these generators. The measurements presented here provide a testing ground for further development of the Monte Carlo models.

description: There is sufficient amount of internal evidence in the nature of gravitational theories to indicate that gravity is an emergent phenomenon like, e.g, elasticity. Such an emergent nature is most apparent in the structure of gravitational dynamics. It is, however, possible to go beyond the field equations and study the space itself as emergent in a well-defined manner in (and possibly only in) the context of cosmology. In the first part of this review, I describe various pieces of evidence which show that gravitational field equations are emergent. In the second part, I describe a novel way of studying cosmology in which I interpret the expansion of the universe as equivalent to the emergence of space itself. In such an approach, the dynamics evolves towards a state of holographic equipartition, characterized by the equality of number of bulk and surface degrees of freedom in a region bounded by the Hubble radius. This principle correctly reproduces the standard evolution of a Friedmann universe. Further, (a) it demands the existence of an early inflationary phase as well as late time acceleration for its successful implementation and (b) allows us to link the value of late time cosmological constant to the e-folding factor during inflation.

description: We investigate thermoelectric efficiency of systems with broken time reversal symmetry under a three-terminal transport. Using a model of Aharonov-Bohm interferometer formed with three noninteracting quantum dots, we show that Carnot efficiency can be achieved when the thermopower is a symmetric function of the applied magnetic field. On the other hand, the maximal value of the efficiency at maximum power is obtained for asymmetric thermopower. Indeed, we show that Curzon-Ahlborn limit is exceeded within the linear response regime in our model. Moreover, we investigate thermoelectric efficiency for random Hamiltonians drawn from the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble and for a more abstract transmission model. In this latter model we find that the efficiency is improved using sharp energy-dependent transmission functions.

Realizing one-dimensional topological superfluids with ultracold atomic gases

description: We propose an experimental implementation of a topological superfluid with ultracold fermionic atoms. An optical superlattice is used to juxtapose a 1D gas of fermionic atoms and a 2D conventional superfluid of condensed Feshbach molecules. The latter acts as a Cooper pair reservoir and effectively induces a superfluid gap in the 1D system. Combined with a spin-dependent optical lattice along the 1D tube and laser-induced atom tunneling, we obtain a topological superfluid phase. In the regime of weak couplings to the molecular fl eld and for a uniform gas the atomic system is equivalent to Kitaev's model of a p-wave superfluid. Using a numerical calculation we show that the topological superfluidity is robust beyond the perturbative limit and in the presence of a harmonic trap. Finally we describe how to investigate some physical properties of the Majorana fermions located at the topological superfluid boundaries. In particular we discuss how to prepare and detect a given Majorana edge state.

Supplemental material from Experience does not change the importance of wind support for migratory route selection by a soaring bird

description: Migration is a complex behaviour that is costly in terms of time, energy and risk of mortality. Thermal soaring birds rely on airflow, specifically wind support and uplift, to offset their energetic costs of flight. Their migratory routes are a record of movement decisions to negotiate the atmospheric environment and achieve efficiency. We expected that, regardless of age, birds use wind support to select their routes. Because thermal soaring is a complex flight behaviour that young birds need to learn, we expected that, as individuals gain more experience, their movement decisions will also increasingly favour the best thermal uplift conditions. We quantified how route choice during autumn migration of young European honey buzzards (Pernis apivorus) was adjusted to wind support and uplift over up to 4 years of migration and compared this to the choices of adult birds. We found that wind support was important in all migrations. However, we did not find an increase in the use of thermal uplifts. This could be due to the species-specific learning period and/or an artefact of the spatio-temporal scale of our uplift proxies.

description: Private landowner participation in management initiatives can be encouraged by interventions, which must resonate with the underlying subjective motivations of the landowners. In this study, we use the Theory of Planned Behavior to gauge the relative influences of (1) attitudes; (2) subjective norms; and (3) perceived behavioral control on landowner intentions to harvest trees threatened by invasive insects. We use a survey (n = 696) to estimate the effects of these latent factors among family forest owners in New England. Our results suggest that, overall, normative pressures are the dominant influence on landowners’ harvest intentions. However, for certain subgroups, such as those with especially high levels of knowledge and experience with forest insects, or those with forestry experience, attitudes are dominant. Perceived behavioral control was not revealed to be dominant among any of our subgroups. These findings can be used to inform landowner interventions that are differentiated by landowner type.
