description: We examine the thermal free-free millimetre fluxes expected from non-dusty and non-pulsating K through mid-M giant stars based on our limited understanding of their inhomogeneous chromospheres. We present a semi-analytic model that provides estimates of the radio fluxes for the mm wavelengths (e.g., CARMA, ALMA, JVLA Q-band) based on knowledge of the effective temperatures, angular diameters and chromospheric Mg II h & k emission fluxes. At 250 GHz, the chromospheric optical depths are expected to be significantly less than unity, which means that fluxes across the mm and sub-mm range will have a contribution from the chromospheric mate- rial that gives rise to the ultraviolet emission spectrum, as well as the cool molecular material known to exist above the photosphere. We predict a lower bound to the inferred brightness temperature of red giants based on heating at the basal-flux limit if the upper chromospheres have filling factor 1. Multi-frequency mm observations should provide important new information on the structuring of the inhomogeneous chromospheres, including the boundary layer, and allow tests of competing theoretical models for atmospheric heating. We comment on the suitability of these stars as mm flux calibrators.

description: The fully self-consistent Hartree-Fock (HF) plus random phase approximation (RPA) based on Skyrme-type interaction is used to study the existence problem of proton semi-bubble structure in the $2_1^+$ state of $^{34}$Si. The experimental excitation energy and the B(E2) strength of the $2_1^+$ state in $^{34}$Si can be reproduced quite well. The tensor effect is also studied. It is shown that the tensor interaction has a notable impact on the excitation energy of the $2_1^+$ state and a small effect on the B(E2) value. Besides, its effect on the density distributions in the ground and $2_1^+$ state of $^{34}$Si is negligible. Our present results with T36 and T44 show that the $2_1^+$ state of $^{34}$Si is mainly caused by proton transiton from $\pi 1d_{5/2}$ orbit to $\pi 2s_{1/2}$ orbit, and the existence of a proton semi-bubble structure in this state is very unlikely.

We retrace the progress of our understanding of this phenomenon, which began with the discovery of the $J/ψ$ meson, followed by the discovery of high energy CT phenomena, the recent developments in the investigations of the onset of CT at intermediate energies and the directions for future studies.

description: The early classifications of the computational complexity of planning under various restrictions in STRIPS (Bylander) and SAS+ (Baeckstroem and Nebel) have influenced following research in planning in many ways. We go back and reanalyse their subclasses, but this time using the more modern tool of parameterized complexity analysis. This provides new results that together with the old results give a more detailed picture of the complexity landscape. We demonstrate separation results not possible with standard complexity theory, which contributes to explaining why certain cases of planning have seemed simpler in practice than theory has predicted. In particular, we show that certain restrictions of practical interest are tractable in the parameterized sense of the term, and that a simple heuristic is sufficient to make a well-known partial-order planner exploit this fact.

Logical difficulty from combining counterfactuals in the GHZ-Bell theorems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In eliminating the fair sampling assumption, the Greenberger, Horne, Zeilinger (GHZ) theorem is believed to confirm Bell's historic conclusion that local hidden variables are inconsistent with the results of quantum mechanics. The GHZ theorem depends on predicting the results of sets of measurements of which only one may be performed. In the present paper, the non-commutative aspects of these unperformed measurements are critically examined. Classical examples and the logic of the GHZ construction are analyzed to demonstrate that combined counterfactual results of non-commuting operations are in general logically inconsistent with performed measurement sequences whose results depend on non-commutation. The Bell theorem is also revisited in the light of this result. It is concluded that negative conclusions regarding local hidden variables do not follow from the GHZ and Bell theorems as historically reasoned.

description: BACKGROUND: Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the most common manifestation of malignancy in the oral cavity. Adjuncts are available for clinicians to evaluate lesions that seem potentially malignant. In this systematic review, the authors summarized the available evidence on patient-important outcomes, diagnostic test accuracy (DTA), and patients' values and preferences (PVPs) when using adjuncts for the evaluation of clinically evident lesions in the oral cavity.

TYPES OF STUDIES REVIEWED: The authors searched for preexisting systematic reviews and assessed their quality using the Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews tool. The authors updated the selected reviews and searched MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify randomized controlled trials and DTA and PVPs studies. Pairs of reviewers independently conducted study selection, data extraction, and assessment of the certainty in the evidence by using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach.

RESULTS: The authors identified 4 existing reviews. DTA reviews included 37 studies. The authors retrieved 7,534 records, of which 9 DTA and 10 PVPs studies were eligible. Pooled sensitivity and specificity of adjuncts ranged from 0.39 to 0.96 for the evaluation of innocuous lesions and from 0.31 to 0.95 for the evaluation of suspicious lesions. Cytologic testing used in suspicious lesions appears to have the highest accuracy among adjuncts (sensitivity, 0.92; 95% confidence interval, 0.86 to 0.98; specificity, 0.94; 95% confidence interval, 0.88 to 0.99; low-quality evidence).

CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Cytologic testing appears to be the most accurate adjunct among those included in this review. The main concerns are the high rate of false-positive results and serious issues of risk of bias and indirectness of the evidence. Clinicians should remain skeptical about the potential benefit of any adjunct in clinical practice.

description: The full-density-matrix numerical renormalization group (NRG) has evolved as a systematic and transparent setting for the cal- culation of thermodynamical quantities at arbitrary temperatures within the NRG framework. It directly evaluates the relevant Lehmann representations based on the complete basis sets intro- duced by Anders and Schiller (2005). In addition, specific attention is given to the possible feedback from low energy physics to high energies by the explicit and careful construction of the full thermal density matrix, naturally generated over a distribution of energy shells. Specific examples are given in terms of spectral functions (fdmNRG), time-dependent NRG (tdmNRG), Fermi-Golden rule calculations (fgrNRG), as well as the calculation of plain thermodynamic expectation values. Furthermore, based on the very fact that, by its iterative nature, the NRG eigenstates are naturally described in terms of matrix product states, the language of tensor networks has proven enormously convenient in the description of the underlying algorithmic procedures. This paper therefore also provides a detailed introduction and discussion of the prototypical NRG calculations in terms of their corresponding tensor networks.

title: Determining garnet crystallization kinetics from growth zoning and Mn-calibrated Sm-Nd ages
Creators: name: Bloom, Rose
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2013

description:
By working under the assumption that garnet strongly fractionates Mn, the change in measured XMn from the core to rim of a garnet can be used to represent the progression of time since nucleation. Core, mantle, and rim zones from nine snowball garnets collected at the Pinney Hollow Formation, Townshend Dam, VT were analyzed using electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) as well as Sm/Nd isotopic methods. Two-point garnet-matrix Sm/Nd ages are complex, with some showing apparent reverse age zoning and unrealistically young ages. Therefore, some garnet ages were culled, including those with poor 147Sm/144Nd ratios (< 0.75), low Nd concentrations (> 0.2 ppm), and rim ages that pre-date core ages. The remaining nineteen Sm/Nd ages show a 10.0 ± 3.5 Myr garnet growth duration with the oldest garnet core age being 383.3 ± 3.3 Ma, and the youngest rim age being 373.3 ± 1.3 Ma. Using the isotopic ages along with their corresponding Mn data, an association between Mn and time was developed for the entire sample. This relationship was calculated to be Age = 2 x 10^1 (+16/-6) Ma (XMn) + 379.3 ± 0.1 Ma. Because the nine dated garnets came from a very large sample (TD0914a), a subvolume was extracted for kinetics work. The kinetics subvolume measured 3940 cm3, and was disaggregated to collect every garnet porphyroblast from within. Each subvolume garnet was cut through the morphological center and analyzed for Mn content using EPMA. By referring each EPMA Mn datum to the Mn-age equation, 5,500 points from 78 garnets were indirectly dated. These garnets grew over 4.9 ± 2.7 Myr and nucleated over a 4.7 ± 2.6 Myr duration. The nucleation rate for the sample is 0.005 ± 0.002 nuclei/cm3/Myr or approximately one nucleation event per cubic centimeter per 200 Myr. Incremental growth rates were calculated for each of the 78 subvolume garnets, and are provided as growth rate (mm/Myr) versus distance from the core (mm). Much growth rate variation occurs throughout the entirety of the subvolume as well as within each garnet. However, due to EPMA noise in Mn content coupled with closely spaced analysis points, some incremental growth rates are unreasonably large or small (-500 to 500 mm/Myr). EPMA data that produce such extreme values were culled, leaving more reasonable rates. Garnets in the sample show competition for nutrients during growth. Garnets that nucleated near other nuclei early in the crystallization episode showed stunted growth compared to those that nucleated in an isolated location. Though some retrogression textures were observed in the subvolume samples, this project provides a novel and robust natural kinetic dataset from which future research may be conducted.

title: Pleistocene climate in Alaska from stable isotopes in an ice wedge
Creators: name: Griffing, Corinne Y.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: The CRREL permafrost tunnel offers a unique opportunity to sample ice wedges in a climate-controlled environment, penetrating frozen silts which host massive ground ice that may record Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) and Heinrich Events. Ice wedges in the tunnel have been dated to approximately 36-22 ka (Hamilton et al., 1988), allowing the paleoclimate of the region to be reconstructed during MIS 3, when D-O and Heinrich events were documented in various other records. These climate cycles are rapid climate oscillations that have been recognized in records from the Arctic and subarctic, and suggest that climate can rapidly shift by 10°C over millennial scale times. I hypothesize that climate in the interior of Alaska varied with Heinrich events during MIS 3, and that these events were recorded as stable isotope variations in local permafrost ground ice. To test this hypothesis, I sampled an ice wedge in the permafrost tunnel for δ18O, δD and 14C to obtain a detailed climate record from central Alaska.
δ18O values from within the wedge display a gradual decrease of 5.95 / from the center toward the left edge, interpreted to reflect decreasing temperature, and is the same magnitude of decrease seen during the transition from the warm D-O interstadial 5 to the cold of Heinrich Event 3 in the NGRIP record in Greenland. Radiocarbon dates from within the wedge range from 28 - 37 cal kyr BP, and are interpreted here not to be the same age as the ice, but rather represent warm periods when sediment aggraded prior to ice wedge growth. These results suggest that D-O and Heinrich events impacted Late Pleistocene climate and ground ice in central Alaska.

Assessing Growth Response to Climate Controls in a Great Basin Artemisia Tridentata Plant Community
Creators: name: Apodaca, Lorenzo F.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2013

description: An assessment of the growth response of key vegetative species to climatic variability is vital to identifying possible local impacts on ecosystems faced with imminent climate change. With current climate projections in Nevada predicting a shift to an even more arid climate with greater year-to-year variability, the imperative exists to identify the effects of specific climatic controls on plant growth and to research methods to assess large-scale vegetative changes, especially in more remote areas where readily available data sets may be lacking. This study utilized annual growth ring indices constructed from big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentatassp.tridentata) stems collected in Spring Valley, NV as a measure of vegetative growth and compared standardized measures of ring growth to records collected from climate monitoring stations within the region. Growth ring indices had a strong, positive correlation with total hydrologic-year precipitation (Oct-Sep; r = 0.82, p < 0.001) with precipitation totals measured at the nearest climate station for the months of January, March, April, and June being the most highly related to ring growth (r = 0.48, 0.36, 0.47, and 0.41, respectively; p < 0.05). Mean maximum growing season temperatures were found to be negatively correlated to growth during the months of April, May, June, and October of the previous year (r = -0.40, -0.37, -0.50, and -0.30, respectively; p < 0.001). Multiple regression analyses between ring width measurements and relevant climate controls suggest that projected climate changes will be largely detrimental to the overall growth of big sagebrush in Spring Valley. Historical NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), an indicator of plant canopy leaf area and photosynthetic activity, was regressed against sagebrush ring indices to examine growth response through time. NDVI values in May performed reasonably well as an indicator of sagebrush ring growth when measurements were integrated over all available sagebrush sites (r2= 0.48, p < 0.01), but this relationship was inconsistent when assessed on a site-by-site basis when comparing single-pixel NDVI measurements against site-specific sagebrush growth ring chronologies. Overall, sagebrush growth ring chronologies were found to perform very well as a climate proxy and comparisons between sagebrush ring widths and a network of ring records from other species revealed that sagebrush growth in Spring Valley is representative of the larger region.

description: A theoretical study of Goldstone boson scattering based on the chiral Lagrangian with vector meson fields is presented. In application of a recently developed novel approach we extrapolate subthreshold partial-wave amplitudes into the physical region. The constraints set by micro-causality and coupled-channel unitarity are kept rigourously. It is shown that already the leading order subthreshold amplitudes lead to s- and p-wave $ππ$ and $πK$ phase shifts are in agreement with the experimental data up to about 1.2 GeV.

description: On the Lifshitz black brane geometry of an Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity, we holographically investigate electric DC conductivities and the role of impurity in a non-relativistic Lifshitz medium with two different charge carriers, impurity and Lifshitz matter. The conductivity carried by Lifshitz matter is proportional to the square of temperature, while that carried by impurity crucially depends on the bulk coupling parameter \g. For \g < -2, impurity at high temperature can change the electric property of the Lifshitz medium significantly so that the Lifshitz matter with impurity can show a totally different electric property from the pure Lifshitz matter.

description: In this paper a general methodology is introduced for the determination of potential prototype curves used for the drawing of prehistoric wall-paintings. The approach includes a) preprocessing of the wall-paintings contours to properly partition them, according to their curvature, b) choice of prototype curves families, c) analysis and optimization in 4-manifold for a first estimation of the form of these prototypes, d) clustering of the contour parts and the prototypes, to determine a minimal number of potential guides, e) further optimization in 4-manifold, applied to each cluster separately, in order to determine the exact functional form of the potential guides, together with the corresponding drawn contour parts. The introduced methodology simultaneously deals with two problems: a) the arbitrariness in data-points orientation and b) the determination of one proper form for a prototype curve that optimally fits the corresponding contour data. Arbitrariness in orientation has been dealt with a novel curvature based error, while the proper forms of curve prototypes have been exhaustively determined by embedding curvature deformations of the prototypes into 4-manifolds. Application of this methodology to celebrated wall-paintings excavated at Tyrins, Greece and the Greek island of Thera, manifests it is highly probable that these wall-paintings had been drawn by means of geometric guides that correspond to linear spirals and hyperbolae. These geometric forms fit the drawings' lines with an exceptionally low average error, less than 0.39mm. Hence, the approach suggests the existence of accurate realizations of complicated geometric entities, more than 1000 years before their axiomatic formulation in Classical Ages.

Investigation of Crashes and Identifying the Best Practices for Setting up Speed Zones in Towns Along Rural Highways in Nevada
Creators: name: Shrestha, Krishna Prasad
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2013

description: In 2010, 51,664 crashes occurred in Nevada. Only about 9% of those crashes occurred in rural areas of the state. However, if only fatal crashes are considered, 41% of those fatal crashes occurred in rural areas. Generally, speed zones are provided in towns along rural highways to reduce speed-related crashes. However, a guideline is necessary for a consistent procedure to setup speed zones throughout the state. The main objectives of this study are to determine factors associated with crashes and to identify the best practices for setting up speed zones in towns along rural highways.
Eleven towns along rural highways of Nevada were identified by the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) Technical Advisor Panel (TAP) for crash data analysis. Ten year of crash data for these towns were collected and analyzed. The result showed that the percentage of fatal crashes in these towns was 0.89% for 9 years. For all the rural areas in Nevada, the percentage of fatal crashes in 2010 was 2.00%. Regression analyses showeda strong correlation between the number of crashes and the percentage of vehicles exceeding posted speed limitsin these towns.
Based on the survey data and various state DOT speed limit guidelines,the 85thpercentile speed was the most important factor for determining the speed limit for a speed zone. Ifproper enforcementis ensured, speed zones can be effective toreduce the number of crashesin towns along rural highways.
The study results will assist in formulating a speed-zone guideline for towns along the rural highways of Nevada. Recommendations to prepare the speed-zone guideline are provided as well as the limitations of the study.

description: Motivated by Freyd's famous unsolved problem in stable homotopy theory, the generating hypothesis for the stable module category of a finite group is the statement that if a map in the thick subcategory generated by the trivial representation induces the zero map in Tate cohomology, then it is stably trivial. It is known that the generating hypothesis fails for most groups. Generalizing work done for $p$-groups, we define the ghost number of a group algebra, which is a natural number that measures the degree to which the generating hypothesis fails. We describe a close relationship between ghost numbers and Auslander-Reiten triangles, with many results stated for a general projective class in a general triangulated category. We then compute ghost numbers and bounds on ghost numbers for many families of $p$-groups, including abelian $p$-groups, the quaternion group and dihedral $2$-groups, and also give a general lower bound in terms of the radical length, the first general lower bound that we are aware of. We conclude with a classification of group algebras of $p$-groups with small ghost number and examples of gaps in the possible ghost numbers of such group algebras.

description: We present observations of the CO[3-2] emission towards two massive and infrared luminous Lyman Break Galaxies at z = 3.21 and z = 2.92, using the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer, placing first constraints on the molecular gas masses (Mgas) of non-lensed LBGs. Their overall properties are consistent with those of typical (Main-Sequence) galaxies at their redshifts, with specific star formation rates ~1.6 and ~2.2 Gyr^(-1), despite their large infrared luminosities L_IR ~2-3 x 10^12 Lsun derived from Herschel. With one plausible CO detection (spurious detection probability of 10^(-3)) and one upper limit, we investigate the evolution of the molecular gas-to-stellar mass ratio (Mgas/M*) with redshift. Our data suggest that the steep evolution of Mgas/M* of normal galaxies up to z~2 is followed by a flattening at higher redshifts, providing supporting evidence for the existence of a plateau in the evolution of the specific star formation rate at z > 2.5.

description: We investigate the optical spectral region of spectra of 1000 stars searching for IMF-sensitive features to constrain the low-mass end of the initial mass function (IMF) slope in elliptical galaxies. We use the MILES stellar library in the wavelength range [3500-7500] Å to select indices that are sensitive to cool dwarf stars and that only weakly depend on age and metallicity. In this wavelength range, the response of a change in the effective temperature of the cool red giant population is similar to the response of a change in the number of dwarf stars in the galaxy. We investigate the degeneracy between IMF variation and Teff,RGB and show that it is possible to break it with the new IMF indicators defined here. In particular, we define a CaH1 index around λ6380 Å that arises purely from cool dwarfs, does not strongly depend on age and is anti-correlated with [a/Fe]. This index allows the determination of the the IMF slope when combined with TiO lines and age- and metallicity-dependent features. The use of several indicators is crucial to break degeneracies between IMF, age, abundance pattern and Teff of the RGB population. We measure line-index strengths of the optical IMF indicators in the SSP models and compare these with index strengths of the same features in stacked SSDSS early-type galaxy spectra with varying velocity dispersions. Using 10 different indicators, we find a clear trend of a steepening IMF with increasing velocity dispersion described by the equation x=(2.3+-0.1)*logσ200+(2.13+-0.15), where x is the IMF slope and σ200 is the central stellar velocity dispersion measured in units of 200km/s. We compute the 'IMF mismatch' parameter as the ratio of stellar mass-to-light ratio predicted from the x-σ200 relation to that inferred from SSP models assuming a Salpeter IMF and find good agreement with independent published results.

description: Background Young children raised in institutions are exposed to extreme psychosocial deprivation that is associated with elevated risk for psychopathology and other adverse developmental outcomes. The prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is particularly high in previously institutionalized children, yet the mechanisms underlying this association are poorly understood. We investigated whether deficits in executive functioning (EF) explain the link between institutionalization and ADHD. Method A sample of 136 children (aged 6–30 months) was recruited from institutions in Bucharest, Romania, and 72 never institutionalized community children matched for age and gender were recruited through general practitioners’ offices. At 8 years of age, children's performance on a number of EF components (working memory, response inhibition and planning) was evaluated. Teachers completed the Health and Behavior Questionnaire, which assesses two core features of ADHD, inattention and impulsivity. Results Children with history of institutionalization had higher inattention and impulsivity than community controls, and exhibited worse performance on working memory, response inhibition and planning tasks. Lower performances on working memory and response inhibition, but not planning, partially mediated the association between early institutionalization and inattention and impulsivity symptom scales at age 8 years. Conclusions Institutionalization was associated with decreased EF performance and increased ADHD symptoms. Deficits in working memory and response inhibition were specific mechanisms leading to ADHD in previously institutionalized children. These findings suggest that interventions that foster the development of EF might reduce risk for psychiatric problems in children exposed to early deprivation.

description: While the concept of conscience has broad philosophical underpinnings relating to moral judgment, agency, and discernments of right and wrong, debates in bioethics have tended to engage the concept primarily vis-à-vis rights of conscientious refusal. Here, we suggest a broader frame for thinking about claims of conscience in healthcare. Drawing on empirical findings from our research with abortion providers in North Carolina, we elucidate an empirically grounded approach to ethically justified care when healthcare providers face legal or institutional policy mandates that raise possible moral conflicts. We highlight, in particular, how providers may be motivated by matters of conscience, including relational concerns, in the active provision of certain forms of care. In so doing, we challenge the dichotomy between conscientious refusal and morally compromised action, demonstrating how providers may work within the constraints of laws or institutional policies that raise moral challenges and act in accordance with conscience.

Year: 2013

description:
This study builds upon the work of Gardner, Hug and Weil [1, Section 6] by further exploring the properties of M-addition. It is shown that several well-known theorems on Minkowski addition have M-addition parallels, including results involving intersections, the valuation property and the convex hull. The last of these enables us to detail su cient conditions for when the M-sum of convex polytopes is a convex polytope. Nested operations of M-addition are also examined and an M-addition generalization of the Shapley-Folkman Lemma and a related bound are offered.

description: This study draws on the notion of entrepreneurial orientation-as-experimentation to investigate the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and firm failure. For the context of newly public firms after their initial public offering, we hypothesize that EO reduces firm failure particularly in specific configurations of EO, working capital efficiency, and technological turbulence. In a sample of 2578 firms that went public between 1997 and 2018, we find support for this configurational perspective. We contribute to the entrepreneurship literature by showing that the relationship between EO and firm failure needs to be understood in the context of organizational and environmental factors.

Reionization on Large Scales III: Predictions for Low-ell Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization and High-ell Kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Observables

description: We present new predictions for temperature (on small angular scales) and polarization (on large angular scales) CMB anisotropies induced during the epoch of reionization (EoR). Using a novel method calibrated from Radiation-Hydrodynamic simulations we model the EoR in large volumes (L >~ 2 Gpc/h) in the context of galactic reionization. We find that the EoR contribution to the kinetic Sunyaev- Zel'dovich power spectrum (patchy kSZ) ranges between ~0.6 - 2.8 muK^2 at ell = 3000, for the parameter space we explored. These patchy kSZ power spectra are calculated from large 15 Deg x 15 Deg maps that are found to be necessary. Decreasing the size of these maps biases the overall patchy kSZ power to higher values. We find that the amplitude of the patchy kSZ power spectrum at ell = 3000 follows simple scalings of D_ell=3000^kSZ propto and D_ell=3000^kSZ propto Delz^0.47 for the mean redshift () of reionization and the duration (dz). Using the constraints on from WMAP 7-year results and the lower limit on dz from EDGES we find a lower limit of ~ 0.4 muK^2 on the kSZ at ell = 3000. Planck will constrain the mean redshift and the Thomson optical depth from the low-ell polarization power spectrum. Future measurements of the high-ell CMB power spectrum from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) should detect the patchy kSZ signal if the cross correlation between the cosmic infrared background and the thermal Sunyaev Zel'dovich effect is constrained. We show that the combination of temperature and polarization measurements constrains both and dz. The patchy kSZ maps, power spectra templates and the polarization power spectra will be publicly available.

description: We give a general decomposition of the h -> VF amplitude where V={W,Z} and F is a generic leptonic or hadronic final state, in the standard model (SM), and in the context of a general effective field theory. The differential distributions for F=l^+l^-, l nu (l =e, mu) are reported, and we show how such distributions can be used to determine modified Higgs couplings that cannot be directly extracted from a global fit to Higgs signal strengths. We also demonstrate how rare h -> VP decays, where P is a single hadron, with SM rates in the 10^{-5} range, can be used to provide complementary information on the couplings of the newly discovered Higgs-like scalar and are an interesting probe of the vacuum structure of the theory.
