description: Rhythmic sensory or electrical stimulation will produce rhythmic brain responses. These rhythmic responses are often interpreted as endogenous neural oscillations aligned (or “entrained”) to the stimulus rhythm. However, stimulus-aligned brain responses can also be explained as a sequence of evoked responses, which only appear regular due to the rhythmicity of the stimulus, without necessarily involving underlying neural oscillations. To distinguish evoked responses from true oscillatory activity, we tested whether rhythmic stimulation produces oscillatory responses which continue after the end of the stimulus. Such sustained effects provide evidence for true involvement of neural oscillations. In Experiment 1, we found that rhythmic intelligible, but not unintelligible speech produces oscillatory responses in magnetoencephalography (MEG) which outlast the stimulus at parietal sensors. In Experiment 2, we found that transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) leads to rhythmic fluctuations in speech perception outcomes after the end of electrical stimulation. We further report that the phase relation between electroencephalography (EEG) responses and rhythmic intelligible speech can predict the tACS phase that leads to most accurate speech perception. Together, we provide fundamental results for several lines of research—including neural entrainment and tACS—and reveal endogenous neural oscillations as a key underlying principle for speech perception.

description: For a heavy-light meson with a static heavy quark, we can explore the light quark distribution. The charge and matter radial distributions of these heavy-light mesons are measured on a 16^3 * 24 lattice at beta=5.7 and a hopping parameter corresponding to a light quark mass about that of the strange quark. Both distributions can be well fitted up to 4 lattice spacings (r approx 0.7 fm) with the exponential form w_i^2(r), where w_i(r)=A exp(-r/r_i). For the charge(c) and matter(m) distributions r_c approx 0.32(2) fm and r_m approx 0.24(2) fm. We also discuss the normalisation of the total charge and matter integrated over all space, finding 1.30(5) and 0.4(1) respectively.

Combined measurements of Higgs boson production and decay using up to $80$ fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV collected with the ATLAS experiment
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Combined measurements of Higgs boson production cross sections and branching fractions are presented. The combination is based on the analyses of the Higgs boson decay modes $H \to γγ$, $ZZ^\ast$, $WW^\ast$, $ττ$, $b\bar{b}$, $μμ$, searches for decays into invisible final states, and on measurements of off-shell Higgs boson production. Up to $79.8$ fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data collected at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector are used. Results are presented for the gluon-gluon fusion and vector-boson fusion processes, and for associated production with vector bosons or top-quarks. The global signal strength is determined to be $μ= 1.11^{+0.09}_{-0.08}$. The combined measurement yields an observed (expected) significance for the vector-boson fusion production process of $6.5σ$ ($5.3σ$). Measurements in kinematic regions defined within the simplified template cross section framework are also shown. The results are interpreted in terms of modifiers applied to the Standard Model couplings of the Higgs boson to other particles, and are used to set exclusion limits on parameters in two-Higgs-doublet models and in the simplified Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. No significant deviations from Standard Model predictions are observed.

description: In this video essay, video analysis is shown to empower students in the same way that Paulo Freire claimed critical literacy does in Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Online Video essays have already become powerful learning tools in the classroom, but they are even more valuable as tools for assessment. Exemplars of student work, collected since 2016 from a range of high school subjects and year levels, demonstrate how the non-linear, collaborative and creative process of video essays has led to increased engagement and academic rigour. More importantly, for students marginalised by the logocentric nature of the traditional English curriculum, video essays have quite literally given them a voice in the classroom. Finally, the dynamic relationship between students and teachers predicted by Freire’s pedagogy is shown to emerge from video essay production.
IMPACT OF EMPLOYEE COMMITMENT AND JOB SATISFACTION ON WORK PERFORMANCE (STUDY ON JUBBALAND PUBLIC SECTOR)
Creators: name: Liban, Abdijalil Jibril

description: Abstract

This thesis investigates the impact of employee commitment and job satisfaction on work performance in the Jubaland public sector. Using a descriptive cross-sectional survey design with stratified and simple random sampling techniques, the study explores the relationship between these factors. The findings underscore the critical significance of fostering employee commitment and job satisfaction for achieving optimal work performance.

The study examines different indicators of employee commitment, including affective commitment, continuous commitment, and normative commitment. It also measures job satisfaction based on indicators such as customer perception, customer expectation, and contentment. Work performance is evaluated through indicators such as the achievement of goals, high productivity, financial efficiency, operational timeliness, and customer response.

The findings highlight the importance of effective leadership, communication, and employee development in nurturing commitment among employees. Factors such as recognition, fair compensation, a supportive work environment, and regular feedback contribute to higherlevels of job satisfaction. By prioritizing these factors, organizations can cultivate a motivated and engaged workforce, leading to improved work performance in terms of goal achievement,productivity, financial efficiency, operational timeliness, and customer response.

This research provides practical insights for organizations in the Jubaland public sector seeking to enhance employee commitment, job satisfaction, and overall performance. By understanding the indicators of commitment and job satisfaction and their impact on work performance, organizations can implement strategies to create a positive work environment and foster employee engagement, ultimately contributing to their success.

description: Software which dials specified telephone numbers and delivers an automated telephone message was tested as an alternative to postcard reminders in the Pennsylvania county estimates survey. The recorded telephone message was automatically dialed and delivered to two randomly selected subsamples of operations selected for the survey. One subsample received the message following the first mailing of the questionnaire. A second subsample received the message immediately preceding the second mailing of the questionnaire. A third random sample received the same reminder message on a traditional postcard reminder delivered via US Postal Service mail. Response rates for each of these groups were compared to a control group which received no reminder. All three reminder groups had higher response rates than the control group, with the postcard reminder increasing response the most.

description: Identifying stabilizing factors in foodwebs is a long standing challenge with wide implications for community ecology and conservation. Here, we investigate the stability of spatially resolved meta-foodwebs with far-ranging super-predators for whom the whole meta-foodwebs appears to be a single habitat. By using a combination of generalised modeling with a master stability function approach, we are able to efficiently explore the asymptotic stability of large classes of realistic many-patch meta-foodwebs. We show that meta-foodwebs with far-ranging top predators are more stable than those with localized top predators. Moreover, adding far-ranging generalist top predators to a system can have a net stabilizing effect, despite increasing the food web size. These results highlight the importance of top predator conservation.

description: We discuss the effects of imperfect photon detectors suffering from loss and noise on the reliability of linear optical quantum computers. We show that for a given detector efficiency, there is a maximum achievable success probability, and that increasing the number of ancillary photons and detectors used for one controlled sign flip gate beyond a critical point will decrease the probability that the computer will function correctly. We have also performed simulations of some small logic gates and estimate the efficiency and noise levels required for the linear optical quantum computer to function properly.

description: Figure S1–S3. Reproducibility of the measurement method, tested in three different mice at two measurement days (time between two measurement days: 7 days). Correlation and Bland-Altman Plots were generated for all relevant parameters. In particular for the longitudinal and circumferential WSS values, a good reproducibility can be observed. Deviations between both measurements are mainly caused by differences in slice positioning, uncertainties in calculating the centerline and segmentation as well as off-resonance effects. Figure S4–S6. Stability of the measurement method, assessed by reconstructing one dataset using varying numbers of subsets (n = 1, 2, . . ., 10) for reconstruction. The largest deviation (relative to the 10-subsets-reconstruction) was found, when less than 6 subsets were used for reconstruction. To assess the error within a measurement, 5 reconstructions were generated using different ensembles of subsets (reconstruction 1: subsets 1–6. reconstruction 2: subsets 2–7. reconstruction 3: subsets 3–8. reconstruction 4: subsets 4–9. reconstruction 5: subsets 5–10). Mean values and standard deviations were determined over all 5 datasets for 12 regions of interests. For the longitudinal WSS, a mean standard deviation of approx. 7.5% was estimated. (PDF 16066 kb)

description: Enzymatically stable and specific neuropeptide Y1 receptor (NPYR1) agonists, such as sea lamprey PYY(1-36) (SL-PYY(1-36)), are believed to improve glucose regulation in diabetes by targeting pancreatic islets. In this study, streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic transgenic GluCreERT2 ; ROSA26-eYFP and Ins1 Cre/+; Rosa26-eYFP mouse models have been used to study effects of sustained NPYR1 activation on islet cell composition and alpha- and beta-cell lineage transitioning. STZ induced a particularly severe form of diabetes in Ins1 Cre/+; Rosa26-eYFP mice, but twice-daily administration (25 nmol/kg) of SL-PYY(1-36) for 11 days consistently improved metabolic status. Blood glucose was decreased (p < 0.05 - p < 0.001) and both fasted plasma and pancreatic insulin significantly increased by SL-PYY(1-36). In both GluCreERT2 ; ROSA26-eYFP and Ins1 Cre/+; Rosa26-eYFP mice, STZ provoked characteristic losses (p < 0.05 - p < 0.001) of islet numbers, beta-cell and pancreatic islet areas together with increases in area and central islet location of alpha-cells. With exception of alpha-cell area, these morphological changes were fully, or partially, returned to non-diabetic control levels by SL-PYY(1-36). Interestingly, STZ apparently triggered decreased (p < 0.001) alpha- to beta-cell transition in GluCreERT2 ; ROSA26-eYFP mice, together with increased loss of beta-cell identity in Ins1 Cre/+; Rosa26-eYFP mice, but both effects were significantly (p < 0.001) reversed by SL-PYY(1-36). SL-PYY(1-36) also apparently reduced (p < 0.05) beta- to alpha-cell conversion in Ins1 Cre/+; Rosa26-eYFP mice and glucagon expressing alpha-cells in GluCreERT2 ; ROSA26-eYFP mice. These data indicate that islet benefits of prolonged NPY1R activation, and especially restoration of beta-cell mass, are observed irrespective of diabetes status, being linked to cell lineage alterations including transdifferentiation of alpha- to beta-cells.

description: Abstract: Spectral computations of infinite-dimensional operators are notoriously difficult, yet ubiquitous in the sciences. Indeed, despite more than half a century of research, it is still unknown which classes of operators allow for the computation of spectra and eigenvectors with convergence rates and error control. Recent progress in classifying the difficulty of spectral problems into complexity hierarchies has revealed that the most difficult spectral problems are so hard that one needs three limits in the computation, and no convergence rates nor error control is possible. This begs the question: which classes of operators allow for computations with convergence rates and error control? In this paper, we address this basic question, and the algorithm used is an infinite-dimensional version of the QR algorithm. Indeed, we generalise the QR algorithm to infinite-dimensional operators. We prove that not only is the algorithm executable on a finite machine, but one can also recover the extremal parts of the spectrum and corresponding eigenvectors, with convergence rates and error control. This allows for new classification results in the hierarchy of computational problems that existing algorithms have not been able to capture. The algorithm and convergence theorems are demonstrated on a wealth of examples with comparisons to standard approaches (that are notorious for providing false solutions). We also find that in some cases the IQR algorithm performs better than predicted by theory and make conjectures for future study.

description: We exploit a simple one-dimensional trapping model introduced before, prompted by the problem of ion current across a biological membrane. The voltage-sensitive channels are open or closed depending on the value taken by an external potential that has two contributions: a deterministic periodic and a stochastic one. Here we assume that the noise source is colored and non Gaussian, with a $q$-dependent probability distribution (where $q$ is a parameter indicating the departure from Gaussianity). We analyze the behavior of the oscillation amplitude as a function of both $q$ and the noise correlation time. The main result is that in addition to the resonant-like maximum as a function of the noise intensity, there is a new resonant maximum as a function of the parameter $q$.

Classical polarimetry with a twist: a compact, geometric approach

Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)

description: We present an approach to classical polarimetry that requires no moving parts, is compact and robust, and that encodes the complete polarization information on a single data frame, accomplished by replacing the rotation of components such as wave plates with position along a spatial axis. We demonstrate the concept with a polarimeter having a quarter wave plate whose fast axis direction changes with location along one axis of a 2D data frame in conjunction with a fixed-direction polarization analyzer, analogous to a classical rotating quarter wave plate polarimeter. The full set of Stokes parameters is obtained, with maximal sensitivity to circular polarization Stokes V if a quarter wave retarder is used. Linear and circular polarization terms are encoded with spatial carrier frequencies that differ by a factor two, which minimizes cross-talk. Other rotating component polarimeters lend themselves to the approach. Since the polarization modulation spatial frequencies do not change greatly, if at all, with wavelength such devices are close to achromatic, simplifying instrument design. Since the polarimetric information is acquired in a single observation, rapidly varying, transient and moving targets are accessible, loss of precision due to sequential data acquisition is avoided, and moving parts are not required.

description: Using the recent measurement of the $Ξ^0 \to Λγ$ asymmetry as an input, we reanalyse nonleptonic and weak radiative hyperon decays in a single symmetry-based framework. In this framework the old S:P problem of nonleptonic decays is automatically resolved when the most important features of weak radiative decays are taken into account. Experimental data require that symmetry between the two types of hyperon decays be imposed at the level of currents, not fields. Previously established connections between hyperon decays and nuclear parity violation imply that the conflict, originally suggested by weak radiative decays, has to surface somewhere.

description: Exploiting the sample of 30 local star-forming, undisturbed late-type galaxies in different environments drawn from the GAs Stripping Phenomena in galaxies with MUSE (GASP), we investigate the spatially resolved Star Formation Rate-Mass (ΣSFR-Σ_star) relation. Our analysis includes also the galaxy outskirts (up to >4 effective radii, re), a regime poorly explored by other Integral Field Spectrograph surveys. Our observational strategy allows us to detect Hα out to more than 2.7re for 75% of the sample. Considering all galaxies together, the correlation between the ΣSFR and Σ_star is quite broad, with a scatter of 0.3 dex. It gets steeper and shifts to higher Σ_star values when external spaxels are excluded and moving from less to more massive galaxies. The broadness of the overall relation suggests galaxy-by-galaxy variations. Indeed, each object is characterized by a distinct ΣSFR-Σ_star relation and in some cases the correlation is very loose. The scatter of the relation mainly arises from the existence of bright off-center star-forming knots whose ΣSFR-Σ_star relation is systematically broader than that of the diffuse component. The ΣSFR-Σtot gas (total gas surface density) relation is as broad as the ΣSFR-Σ_star relation, indicating that the surface gas density is not a primary driver of the relation. Even though a large galaxy-by-galaxy variation exists, mean ΣSFR and Σ_star values vary of at most 0.7 dex across galaxies. We investigate the relationship between the local and global SFR-M_star relation, finding that the latter is driven by the existence of the size-mass relation.

description: We use a wide range of observations to constrain cosmological models possessing a significant asymmetry in the lepton sector, which offer perhaps the best chance of reconciling a critical-density Universe with current observations. The simplest case, with massless neutrinos, fails to fit many experimental data and does not lead to an acceptable model. If the neutrinos have mass of order one electron-volt (which is favoured by some neutrino observations), then models can be implemented which prove a good fit to microwave anisotropies and large-scale structure data. However, taking into account the latest microwave anisotropy results, especially those from Boomerang, we show that the model can no longer accommodate the observed baryon fraction in clusters. Together with the observed acceleration of the present Universe, this puts considerable pressure on such critical-density models.

description: Data accumulated from Consumers' Association surveys are designed to be used by the consumer. The surveys are, therefore, very specific in nature and the subjects covered diverse. The Data Archive holds 19 such surveys.

Readers are asked to note that, with the exception of the surveys on the Telephone Service - 69004, 69016, respondents surveyed are self selected from subscribers to the Association's magazine Which? and so the surveys cannot singly be used in descriptive accounts of the British public.

Surveys 69005-69012 cover various aspects of the housing experiences of Which? readers who moved house in 1967 and 1968. It is here particularly important to remember that the choice strategies and the resources of Which? readers are unlikely to be typical.
Disordering effects of colour in a system of coupled Brownian motors: phase diagram and anomalous-to-normal hysteresis transition

description: A system of periodically coupled nonlinear phase oscillators submitted to both additive and multiplicative white noises has been recently shown to exhibit ratchetlike transport, negative zero-bias conductance, and anomalous hysteresis. These features stem from the "asymmetry" of the stationary probability distribution function, arising through a noise-induced nonequilibrium phase transition which is "reentrant" as a function of the multiplicative noise intensity. Using an explicit mean-field approximation we analyze the effect of the multiplicative noises being coloured, finding a contraction of the ordered phase (and a reentrance as a function of the coupling) on one hand, and a shift of the transition from anomalous to normal hysteresis inside this phase on the other.

description: Additional file 14: Figure S6. Cross-validated representative profiles of genes responsive to LPS stimulation. Genes showing differential expression post LPS injection compared to baseline were cross-validated by using independent time-series gene expression microarray data studying pigsâ whole blood responses to LPS [23]. In Terenina et al. [23], DEGs showed delayed responses likely because a lower dosage of LPS was injected and/or injection sites were different. The y-axis shows the log2 fold change of gene expression at each time point relative to baseline, estimated by DESeq2 or limma. Smoothed expression profiles of individual genes per line were inferred by using LOWESS (Locally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing).

QCD Corrections to t anti-b H^- Associated Production in e^+ e^- Annihilation

description: We calculate the QCD corrections to the cross section of e^+ e^- -> t anti-b H^- and its charge-conjugate counterpart within the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. This process is particularly important if m_t < m_H + m_b and root(s) < 2 m_H, so that t -> b H^+ and e^+ e^- -> H^+ H^- are not allowed kinematically. Large logarithmic corrections that arise in the on-mass-shell scheme of quark mass renormalization, especially from the t anti-b H^- Yukawa coupling for large values of tan(beta), are resummed by adopting the modified minimal-subtraction scheme, so that the convergence behavior of the perturbative expansion is improved. The inclusion of the QCD corrections leads to a significant reduction of the theoretical uncertainties due to scheme and scale dependences.

description: Abstract: In response to pressures imposed on the energy sector, several countries in the Middle East-North Africa (MENA) region have committed to increasing the percentage of renewable energy to reach 15–50% of the energy supply by 2030. New governance models are required to conceptualise and guide the energy transition into a more sustainable direction. Therefore, this paper employed the transition management governance framework to answer the questions of who is governing the renewable energy transition in Palestine, and in what ways it is achieved. The analysis is based on three levels: strategic (problem structuring and envisioning), tactical (coalition building, developing transition agenda), and operational (mobilising actors and implementing experiments). Accordingly, key energy-related institutions are examined in terms of their visions, capacities and scope of influence using semi-structured interviews, roundtable discussions, and a survey. The conducted policy analysis suggests that the Palestinian energy sector started experiencing profound changes that affected all actors who had to adapt or transform to remain active, in addition to the rise of various multi-level actors. The analysis also shows that actors are more connected compared to the conventional energy system. Findings suggest that the spread of renewable technologies was not the outcome of only top–down schemes; instead, it is achieved throughout the collaboration of multi-level institutions and increasing reliance on horizontal-based governance networks. The paper uses examples to imply that it is possible to overcome the agglomeration of restrictions imposed on the Palestinian energy sector due to conflict if established regimes support governance networks and local-level initiatives.
Magnetic field effects in ultracold molecular collisions

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We investigate the collisional stability of magnetically trapped ultracold molecules, taking into account the influence of magnetic fields. We compute elastic and spin-state-changing inelastic rate constants for collisions of the prototype molecule $^{17}$O$_2$ with a $^3$He buffer gas as a function of the magnetic field and the translational collision energy. We find that spin-state-changing collisions are suppressed by Wigner's threshold laws as long as the asymptotic Zeeman splitting between incident and final states does not exceed the height of the centrifugal barrier in the exit channel. In addition, we propose a useful one-parameter fitting formula that describes the threshold behavior of the inelastic rates as a function of the field and collision energy. Results show a semi-quantitative agreement of this formula with the full quantum calculations, and suggest useful applications also to different systems. As an example, we predict the low-energy rate constants relevant to evaporative cooling of molecular oxygen.

description: Abstract: Along the ideas of Curtain and Glover (in: Bart, Gohberg, Kaashoek (eds) Operator theory and systems, Birkhäuser, Boston, 1986), we extend the balanced truncation method for (infinite-dimensional) linear systems to arbitrary-dimensional bilinear and stochastic systems. In particular, we apply Hilbert space techniques used in many-body quantum mechanics to establish new fully explicit error bounds for the truncated system and prove convergence results. The functional analytic setting allows us to obtain mixed Hardy space error bounds for both finite-and infinite-dimensional systems, and it is then applied to the model reduction of stochastic evolution equations driven by Wiener noise.

description: This inquiry into the views of the year 2000 held by the younger generation took place under the auspices of the European Coordination Centre for Research and Documentation in the Social Sciences, established at Vienna, which was founded by UNESCO and which is a division of the International Social Science Council at Paris. The technical coordination was in the hands of the International Peace Research Institute, Oslo, under the direction of Johan Galtung.

The objective of the inquiry was to examine attitudes of people in the age group 15 - 40 years towards various aspects of the future, with particular reference to war, peace and disarmament. The great attractiveness of such an inquiry lies in comparing the results of countries with very different political and philosophical backgrounds. Eleven countries are covered by this study.
