Is the Relaxion an Axion?

description: We consider the recently proposed cosmological relaxation mechanism where the hierarchy problem is ameliorated, and the electroweak scale is dynamically selected by a slowly rolling axion field. We argue that, in its simplest form, the construction breaks a gauge symmetry that always exists for pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons (in particular the axion). The small parameter in the relaxion model is therefore not technically natural as it breaks a gauge symmetry rather than global symmetries only. The consistency of the theory generically implies that the cutoff must lie around the electroweak scale, but not qualitatively higher. We discuss several ways to evade the above conclusion. Some of them may be sufficient to increase the cutoff to the few-TeV range (and therefore may be relevant for the little-hierarchy problem). To demonstrate the ideas in a concrete setting we consider a model with a familon, the Nambu-Goldstone boson of a spontaneously broken chiral flavor symmetry. The model has some interesting collider-physics aspects and contains a viable weakly interacting dark matter candidate.

description: Nonlinear optical (NLO) effect plays a crucial role to engineer optical angular frequency and symmetry of electronic system. Metallic transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) is one of two-dimensional (2D) materials, which has no inversion symmetry for odd-number-layer. In particular, odd-number-layered NbSe$_2$ has spin splitting owing to Ising-type spin-orbit coupling. In this paper, we numerically calculate the NLO charge and spin conductivities of NbSe$_2$ based on an effective tight-binding model for several different optical effects, i.e., symmetry manipulation by bi-circular light (BCL) and bulk photovoltaic effect (shift and injection current). Under irradiation of BCL which can control the symmetry of electronic system, the current can be generated even in even-number-layered NbSe$_2$. Also, we find that shift current can be generated for odd-number-layered NbSe$_2$, which is robust against electronic scattering, i.e., topological current. The direction of generated shift current can be switched by altering polarization of light. Our results will serve to design opt-spintronics devices based on 2D materials to manipulate the charge and spin current and their directions by controlling the polarization of incident light which recasts the symmetry of electronic system.

Digital images

description: Digital images are examined on computer screens in a variety of contexts, including radiology, cartography, art, and satellite imaging. Frequently these digital images are larger than computer screens, and computer software programs use different paradigms for allowing users to zoom in and out of the image and to navigate around it. With recent advances in CPU and Internet connection speed, users may view large images that are not stored locally at a rapid rate. However, there has been no systematic investigation of what image-viewing paradigms are most effective for viewing images at these faster speeds. This paper reports on a study designed to research the types of methods that best allow users to access and view large images at both fast and slow speeds. Five different viewing techniques are described and examined. The researchers found that techniques that enable both intuitive and systematic searching tend to perform best at a fast speed, while techniques that minimize the number of interactions with the image are most effective at a slow speed. Additionally, based on an informal survey, users prefer by a large margin the Point-Zoom technique, which allows them to interact freely with the image and move around it easily.

description: This paper describes information gathered from Human Resources Representatives and Human Resources Managers at the University of North Carolina Hospitals.  The study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of Human Resources Representatives as information intermediaries between Human Resources Managers and employees in departments throughout the Hospitals.  Human Resources Managers are eager to take advantage of Internet technologies as a means of allowing Human Resource Representatives to handle responsibilities that were traditionally handled only by Human Resources departments.  Human Resources Representatives demonstrated a willingness to use the Internet to carry out their responsibilities, but many have stated an interest in receiving additional training or printed copies of electronic materials.  In order to make the most of the current arrangement, the study recommends that Human Resources Managers commit the necessary resources for providing Human Resources Representatives with the access to information and other tools needed to successfully carry out the role.
Does This Icon Tell Me This Site Is Secure?: A Study Of User Perceptions

description: This research examined how people perceive current site connection indicator icons and corresponding informational message statements found in six web browsers. The paper begins by providing some background of the research area as well as an overview of the site connection indicator icon and informational message statement. An online survey was also conducted, which asked participants to best match statements from the informational messages with site connection indicator icons. The main finding of this research was that based on the wording of the informational message statements, participants often chose corresponding site connection indicator icons in a manner similar to how web browser developers paired the site connection indicator icons and informational message statements. This provides evidence that web browser users perceive the informational message statements as generally matching the site connection indicator icons that represent them.
Neutron Skins and Halo Orbits in the $sd$ and $pf$ shells

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The strong dependence of Coulomb energies on nuclear radii makes it possible to extract the latter from calculations of the former. The resulting estimates of neutron skins indicate that two mechanisms are involved. The first one---isovector monopole polarizability---amounts to noting that when a particle is added to a system it drives the radii of neutrons and protons in different directions, tending to equalize the radii of both fluids independently of the neutron excess. This mechanism is well understood and the Duflo-Zuker (small) neutron skin values derived 14 years ago are consistent with recent measures and estimates. The alternative mechanism involves halo orbits whose huge sizes tend to make the neutron skins larger and have a subtle influence on the radial behavior of $sd$ and $pf$ shell nuclei. In particular, they account for the sudden rise in the isotope shifts of nuclei beyond $N=28$ and the near constancy of radii in the $A=40-56$ region. This mechanism, detected here for the first time, is not well understood and may well go beyond Efimov physics usually associated to halo orbits.

description: In this paper, we derive a general mixed (bright-dark) multi-soliton solution to a one-dimensional multicomponent Yajima-Oikawa (YO) system, i.e., the (M+1)-component YO system comprised of M-component short waves (SWs) and one-component long wave (LW) for all possible combinations of nonlinearity coefficients including positive, negative and mixed types. With the help of the KP-hierarchy reduction method, we firstly construct two types of general mixed N-soliton solution (two-bright-one-dark soliton and one-bright-two-dark one for SW components) to the (3+1)-component YO system in detail. Then by extending the corresponding analysis to the (M+1)-component YO system, a general mixed N-soliton solution in Gram determinant form is obtained. The expression of the mixed soliton solution also contains the general all bright and all dark N-soliton solution as special cases. Besides, the dynamical analysis shows that the inelastic collision can only take place among SW components when at least two SW components have bright solitons in mixed type soliton solution. Whereas, the dark solitons in SW components and the bright soliton in LW component always undergo usual elastic collision.

A viable varying speed of light model in the RW metric
Creators: name: Lee, Seokcheon

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Robertson-Walker (RW) metric allows us to apply general relativity to model the behavior of the Universe as a whole (i.e., cosmology). We can properly interpret various cosmological observations, like the cosmological redshift, the Hubble parameter, geometrical distances, and so on, if we identify fundamental observers with individual galaxies. That is to say that the interpretation of observations of modern cosmology relies on the RW metric. The RW model satisfies the cosmological principle in which the 3-space always remains isotropic and homogeneous. One can derive the cosmological redshift relation from this condition. We show that it is still possible for us to obtain consistent results in a specific time-varying speed-of-light model without spoiling the success of the standard model. The validity of this model needs to be determined by observations.

description: While e-books offer great potential for academic libraries, research has shown  that usability issues can prevent readers from reading e-books or from using certain ebook  functions. This study presents the results of usability testing on the platforms of  three of the largest aggregators of academic e-books: ebrary, MyiLibrary, and Ebook  Library. In addition to learning about the usability of these specific platforms, this  research provides greater insight into the usability issues that students encounter while  reading e-books and a deeper understanding of how e-books can meet the academic needs  of students. Five undergraduate and five graduate students participated in testing,  completing a series of tasks in each platform. Testing revealed several usability issues.  Students want flexible navigational options, including the ability to scroll. Additionally,  students enjoy certain e-book features, such as annotation and highlighting tools, but they  were not sure that they would use these tools.

description: The masses of supermassive black holes in broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can be measured through reverberation mapping, but this method currently cannot be applied to very large samples or to high-redshift AGNs. As a practical alternative, one can devise empirical scaling relations, based on the correlation between broad-line region size and AGN luminosity and the relation between black hole mass and bulge stellar velocity dispersion, to estimate the virial masses of black holes from single-epoch spectroscopy. We present a revised calibration of the black hole mass estimator for the commonly used H$β$ emission line. Our new calibration takes into account the recent determination of the virial coefficient for pseudo and classical bulges.

description: This study examines the compatibility of user vocabulary and metadata vocabulary and then analyzes that relationship in the context of enterprise web information retrieval. An enterprise was chosen, an American Research Intensive University, and a sample from a defined set of enterprise users, undergraduates, were recruited. A quasi-experiment was conducted in which twenty subjects were asked to view ten web pages selected from the enterprise's website and write a description of each page. Terms written by subjects were compared with metadata terms assigned to the web pages by professionals. Instances of exact, partial and no match between the two vocabularies were recorded. Searches were conducted using subjects' terms via the enterprise's web search engine. The position of selected web pages in search engine results lists were recorded upon completion of each search. Results suggest a statistically significant relationship between the vocabulary matches and enterprise web information retrieval.

description: Justicia salsoloides T. Anderson (1867: 514)
 Type (Lectotype designated here):— INDIA, Mysore and Carnatic, s.d., G.Thomson 126 (K 000884125, isolectotypes K 000884124, CAL 0000020253) Fig. 1.
 Notes:— Justicia salsoloides was described by Anderson (1867) based on specimens collected from Mysore and Carnatic region. Two collections (G. Thomson and Wight) were mentioned in the protologue, but no holotype was designated. Thus they are syntypes according to Art. 9.5 of the ICN (McNeill et al., 2012). It is clear from the introduction part of protologue, that the specimens consulted by Anderson were deposited either in CAL or in K. After an exhaustive search, three sheets at K (K 000884124, K 000884125, K 000884126) and one at CAL (CAL 0000020253) were traced. Of these, three sheets collected by Thomson (two in K and one at CAL) bears a label annotated with the collection locality “ Mysore and Carnatic region ” in Anderson’s own handwriting. But Wight’s sheet (K 000884126) lacking the above annotation instead it is written as “ Peninsula Indiae Orientalis ”. However, two of Thomson’s materials at K (K 000884124, K 000884125) also bear an additional label indicating the collection numbers (Madras col. 131 & Madras col. 136) in same handwriting. Of these, the specimen bearing collection number 131 (K 000884125) is well preserved and matches well with the description provided in the protologue. Besides, a fully opened corolla has also found mounted on the sheet. Therefore, K 000884125 is designated here as lectotype according to Art. 9.2, 9.11 & 9.12 of the ICN (McNeill et al., 2012).

description: Audio fingerprinting, the process by which an audio sample is automatically  identified or categorized based on its unique analog properties, is a technology that has  been integrated quite rapidly into commercial and consumer music applications.  Although academic literature has covered specific algorithms, technical specifications of  prototype applications, and practical implementations of audio fingerprinting software,  little attention has been given to public opinions. However, public opinion has been  debated extensively in online blogs, forums, newspapers, and e-mail lists. This study  addresses this knowledge gap by examining a sample, via content analysis, of 30 web-based  resources, revealing public opinions about this topic. The sample was drawn from  alternative resources, as they provide a rich information source for understanding public  perception and opinion about audio fingerprinting. This paper presents background  research and key new findings based on this study. The content analysis identified key  concepts and unifying discussion themes. The research approach and analysis was  verified by two independent evaluators, confirming consistency in coding. The results  revealed significant public interest in topics of audio fingerprinting metadata, and  emphasized the following themes as important topics among the public: 1. user  interfaces, 2. technical issues, 3. copyright implications, 4. royalties, and 5. user privacy.  The paper concludes with a series of recommendations for future research.

description: We present an algorithm for reconstructing the radiance field of a large-scale scene from a single casually captured video. The task poses two core challenges. First, most existing radiance field reconstruction approaches rely on accurate pre-estimated camera poses from Structure-from-Motion algorithms, which frequently fail on in-the-wild videos. Second, using a single, global radiance field with finite representational capacity does not scale to longer trajectories in an unbounded scene. For handling unknown poses, we jointly estimate the camera poses with radiance field in a progressive manner. We show that progressive optimization significantly improves the robustness of the reconstruction. For handling large unbounded scenes, we dynamically allocate new local radiance fields trained with frames within a temporal window. This further improves robustness (e.g., performs well even under moderate pose drifts) and allows us to scale to large scenes. Our extensive evaluation on the Tanks and Temples dataset and our collected outdoor dataset, Static Hikes, show that our approach compares favorably with the state-of-the-art.

 Notes:— Justicia aquatica was described by Benoist (1946) based on the specimens collected from Nossibe of Madagascar. In the protologue, three collections (Boivin 2104, Boivin 2102 and Hildebrandt 3303 b) were mentioned, but no type was designated. Thus they are syntypes according to Art. 9.5 of the ICN (McNeill et al., 2012). While searching for these specimens in different herbaria, nine sheets were found, eight at P (P 00466130, P 00089576, P 00466132, P 00466133, P 00089575, P 00466129, P 00089574, P 00466131) and one at K (K 000419217). Among these, six sheets were collected by Boivin and the remaining three belong to Hildebrandt collection. Amongst Boivin’s specimens three sheets have the collection number 2104, one have the collection number 2102 and two sheets have no collection number. Of these, only one sheets of Boivin 2104 (P 00089574) bears an additional label with brief description in Benoist’s own handwriting. This also matches well with the description provided in the protologue. Therefore, P 00089574 is designated here as lectotype according to Art. 9.2, 9.11 & 9.12 of the ICN (McNeill et al., 2012).

description: The KOTO ($K^0$ at Tokai) experiment aims to observe the CP-violating rare decay $K_L \rightarrow π^0 ν\barν$ by using a long-lived neutral-kaon beam produced by the 30 GeV proton beam at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. The $K_L$ flux is an essential parameter for the measurement of the branching fraction. Three $K_L$ neutral decay modes, $K_L \rightarrow 3π^0$, $K_L \rightarrow 2π^0$, and $K_L \rightarrow 2γ$ were used to measure the $K_L$ flux in the beam line in the 2013 KOTO engineering run. A Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate the detector acceptance for these decays. Agreement was found between the simulation model and the experimental data, and the remaining systematic uncertainty was estimated at the 1.4\% level. The $K_L$ flux was measured as $(4.183 \pm 0.017_{\mathrm{stat.}} \pm 0.059_{\mathrm{sys.}}) \times 10^7$ $K_L$ per $2\times 10^{14}$ protons on a 66-mm-long Au target.

description: This two-part study analyzed school library websites, OPAC holdings, and survey results, using six data collection instruments, to examine various factors influencing and explore variables relating to comic book and graphic novel collecting among private elementary and middle school librarians in North Carolina. Librarians in this study who collect comic books and graphic novels were found to be more likely to display such professional characteristics as being technology and curriculum leaders, having a library website, and reading professional literature of various types. Private elementary and middle school librarians with an MLS degree in North Carolina who collect comic books and graphic novels have richer and larger comic book and graphic novel collections, and use more varied tools to develop them. Most of the schools in the OPAC study are collecting recommended core comic book and graphic novel titles, regardless of religious affiliation or location in the state.

description: We report measurement of a spin pumping effect due to fluctuations of the magnetic order of IrMn thin films. A precessing NiFe ferromagnet injected spins into IrMn spin sinks, and enhanced damping was observed around the IrMn magnetic phase transition. Our data was compared to a recently developed theory and converted into interfacial spin mixing conductance enhancements. By spotting the spin pumping peak, the thickness dependence of the IrMn critical temperature could be determined and the characteristic length for the spin-spin interactions was deduced.

description: Vertical search in Information Retrieval (IR) represents display opportunities for searcher interaction in the form of blended and non-blended results. Search behavior and preference in interacting with these results can be influenced by both design and personal, cognitive abilities. This study evaluates the relationship between cognitive ability and vertical search behavior and preference.
In this lab study cognitive tests measuring perceptual speed and visual memory were administered to sixteen participants who subsequently performed four search tasks on two search engines, one with a blended display and one with a non-blended display. Cognitive tests, search logs and participant questionnaires were used to evaluate vertical search behavior and preference in cognitively high and low performers. The findings suggest that cognitive ability influences vertical search engagement and preference. The value in this research is its ability to contribute to issues of result merging, display, and interaction at a personal level in vertical search.

description: Task-oriented dialog systems enable users to accomplish tasks using natural language. State-of-the-art systems respond to users in the same way regardless of their personalities, although personalizing dialogues can lead to higher levels of adoption and better user experiences. Building personalized dialog systems is an important, yet challenging endeavor and only a handful of works took on the challenge. Most existing works rely on supervised learning approaches and require laborious and expensive labeled training data for each user profile. Additionally, collecting and labeling data for each user profile is virtually impossible. In this work, we propose a novel framework, P-ToD, to personalize task-oriented dialog systems capable of adapting to a wide range of user profiles in an unsupervised fashion using a zero-shot generalizable reward function. P-ToD uses a pre-trained GPT-2 as a backbone model and works in three phases. Phase one performs task-specific training. Phase two kicks off unsupervised personalization by leveraging the proximal policy optimization algorithm that performs policy gradients guided by the zero-shot generalizable reward function. Our novel reward function can quantify the quality of the generated responses even for unseen profiles. The optional final phase fine-tunes the personalized model using a few labeled training examples. We conduct extensive experimental analysis using the personalized bAbI dialogue benchmark for five tasks and up to 180 diverse user profiles. The experimental results demonstrate that P-ToD, even when it had access to zero labeled examples, outperforms state-of-the-art supervised personalization models and achieves competitive performance on BLEU and ROUGE metrics when compared to a strong fully-supervised GPT-2 baseline

description: Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ is at present the cleanest example of a spin-ice material. Previous theoretical and experimental work on the first-order transition between the kagome-ice and the fully polarized state has been taken as a validation for the dipolar spin-ice model. Here we investigate in further depth this phase transition using ac-susceptibility and dc-magnetization, and compare this results with Monte-Carlo simulations and previous magnetization and specific heat measurements. We find signatures of an intermediate state between the kagome-ice and full polarization. This signatures are absent in current theoretical models used to describe spin-ice materials.

description: This study analyzes the usage patterns of the AOL Instant Messenger chat reference service provided by the R.B. House Undergraduate Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for the first year of service (June 2003 to May 2004). Transcripts were examined to determine the types of questions asked and the number of questions per transaction. The Undergraduate Library's statistics were also examined to determine what months, days of the week, and hours the service was used most. The author makes recommendations to modify the staffing patterns on Sunday and during the evening shifts, and makes recommendations for further study that would guide the library in continuing to improve the service, as well as add to the literature on AOL Instant Messenger-type services.

Toward Open-domain Slot Filling via Self-supervised Co-training

description: Slot filling is one of the critical tasks in modern conversational systems. The majority of existing literature employs supervised learning methods, which require labeled training data for each new domain. Zero-shot learning and weak supervision approaches, among others, have shown promise as alternatives to manual labeling. Nonetheless, these learning paradigms are significantly inferior to supervised learning approaches in terms of performance. To minimize this performance gap and demonstrate the possibility of open-domain slot filling, we propose a Self-supervised Co-training framework, called SCot, that requires zero in-domain manually labeled training examples and works in three phases. Phase one acquires two sets of complementary pseudo labels automatically. Phase two leverages the power of the pre-trained language model BERT, by adapting it for the slot filling task using these sets of pseudo labels. In phase three, we introduce a self-supervised cotraining mechanism, where both models automatically select highconfidence soft labels to further improve the performance of the other in an iterative fashion. Our thorough evaluations show that SCot outperforms state-of-the-art models by 45.57% and 37.56% on SGD and MultiWoZ datasets, respectively. Moreover, our proposed framework SCot achieves comparable performance when compared to state-of-the-art fully supervised models.

description: This study examines the use of chat reference services in the Health Sciences Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill over a period of two and one half years. Chat reference transcripts were extracted from LSSI's Virtual Reference service and then examined for the time in which they occurred. Once the transcripts were examined, results were charted in order to observe trends over time. The results showed that usage of chat reference services is increasing, though needs a lot more use in order to compare to phone and face to face reference services. An analysis of the chat transcripts showed that patrons are more likely to use chat reference services to ask more complicated questions than those normally asked over the phone or in person.

description: Stereo image super-resolution aims to boost the performance of image super-resolution by exploiting the supplementary information provided by binocular systems. Although previous methods have achieved promising results, they did not fully utilize the information of cross-view and intra-view. To further unleash the potential of binocular images, in this letter, we propose a novel Transformerbased parallax fusion module called Parallax Fusion Transformer (PFT). PFT employs a Cross-view Fusion Transformer (CVFT) to utilize cross-view information and an Intra-view Refinement Transformer (IVRT) for intra-view feature refinement. Meanwhile, we adopted the Swin Transformer as the backbone for feature extraction and SR reconstruction to form a pure Transformer architecture called PFT-SSR. Extensive experiments and ablation studies show that PFT-SSR achieves competitive results and outperforms most SOTA methods. Source code is available at https://github.com/MIVRC/PFT-PyTorch.
