description: Recently, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations reported exciting hints of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson with a mass around 125GeV. A Higgs boson this heavy is difficult to realize in conventional models of gauge mediation. Here we revisit the lightest Higgs boson mass in "more generic gauge mediation," where the Higgs doublets mix with the messenger doublets. We show that a Higgs boson mass around 125GeV can be realized in more generic gauge mediation models, even for a relatively light gluino mass ~1TeV. We also show that the muon anomalous magnetic moment can be within 1sigma of the experimental value for these models, even when the Higgs boson is relatively heavy. We also discuss the LHC constraints and the prospects of discovery.

description: The surprising results by the BarBar collaboration on the $πγ$ transition form factor require new thoughts about the high-$Q^2$ dependence of the form factors with virtual photons. We make use of the anomaly sum rule [J. Horejsi and O. Teryaev, Z. Phys. C65, 691 (1995).] which relates the hadron spectral density to the axial anomaly [S. Adler, Phys. Rev. 177, 2426 (1969); J. S. Bell and R. Jackiw, Nuovo Cimento A 60, 47 (1969).]. We study the quark-hadron duality relation for this sum rule and find out that the increase of the rescaled form factor $Q^2F_{πγ}(Q^2)\sim\log(Q^2)$ suggested by the BaBar data requires the presence of a $1/s$-correction term in the relation between the one-loop spectral density and the hadron-continuum spectral density.

description: The wide-area imaging surveys with the {\it Herschel} Space Observatory at sub-mm wavelengths have now resulted in catalogs of order one hundred thousand dusty, star-burst galaxies. We make a statistical estimate of $N(z)$ using a clustering analysis of sub-mm galaxies detected at each of 250, 350 and 500 $μ$m from the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES) centered on the Boötes field. We cross-correlate {\it Herschel} galaxies against galaxy samples at optical and near-IR wavelengths from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the NOAO Deep Wide Field Survey (NDWFS) and the Spitzer Deep Wide Field Survey (SDWFS). We create optical and near-IR galaxy samples based on their photometric or spectroscopic redshift distributions and test the accuracy of those redshift distributions with similar galaxy samples defined with catalogs of the Cosmological Evolution Survey (COSMOS), as the COSMOS field has superior spectroscopy coverage. We model-fit the clustering auto and cross-correlations of {\it Herschel} and optical/IR galaxy samples to estimate $N(z)$ and clustering bias factors. The $S_{350} > 20$ mJy galaxies have a bias factor varying with redshift as $b(z)=1.0^{+1.0}_{-0.5}(1+z)^{1.2^{+0.3}_{-0.7}}$. This bias and the redshift dependence is broadly in agreement with galaxies that occupy dark matter halos of mass in the range of 10$^{12}$ to 10$^{13}$ M$_{\sun}$. We find that the redshift distribution peaks around $z \sim 0.5$ to 1 for galaxies selected at 250 $μ$m with an average redshift of $< z > = 1.8 \pm 0.2$. For 350 and 500 $μ$m-selected SPIRE samples the peak shifts to higher redshift, but the average redshift remains the same with a value of $1.9 \pm 0.2$.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The south coast of Ireland been fished intensively for at least a century, with Cork and Cobh harbours acting as the major landing ports for both commercial fishing and industrial activities. Subsequently, these activities have led to environmental degradation through heavy-metal pollution and chemical contaminants, with little research undertaken in terms of what impact this has had on the benthic fish populations of the area. This study focuses on the sentinel benthic monitoring species Limanda limanda, and uses biomarkers for both the gonads and liver (ALP, MT, LPO, DNA damage, GST in liver and total protein) to describe the related health implications on the fish. Furthermore it will provide a baseline for future fish disease monitoring on the south coast of Ireland.

Aboriginal post-secondary education policy development in British Columbia, 1986-2011
Creators: name: MacIvor, Madeleine Karen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This dissertation is a critical policy study of the development of Aboriginal post-secondary education in British Columbia between 1986 and 2011. It explores the question “How have changing political, economic and social circumstances in British Columbia influenced the development and implementation of Aboriginal post-secondary policy?” through an embedded case study. During this time, British Columbia was governed by three different political parties: the Social Credit (1986-1991), the New Democratic Party (1991-2001), and the Liberals (2001 – 2011). The province was also undergoing significant changes in its relationships with Aboriginal people, in trying to bring certainty to issues of Aboriginal rights and title that were undermining resource development. At the beginning of this period BC did not recognize Aboriginal rights and title; by the end of this period a number of treaties and non-treaty agreements had been signed. Stories shared through policy texts, other documentary sources, as well as interviews with nineteen policy actors reveal a number of significant themes in the Aboriginal post-secondary policy process. These include: sector intersection between the Ministries responsible for post-secondary education and Aboriginal affairs; privileging of First Nations; relationships between policy actors and policy structures, the importance of leadership and ownership; the selective implementation of recommendations and policy; and different understandings of accountability.

description: We present some upper bounds on the size of non-linear codes and their restriction to systematic codes and linear codes. These bounds are independent of other known theoretical bounds, e.g. the Griesmer bound, the Johnson bound or the Plotkin bound, and one of these is actually an improvement of a bound by Litsyn and Laihonen. Our experiments show that in some cases (the majority of cases for some q) our bounds provide the best value, compared to all other theoretical bounds.

description: Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of irreversible visual impairment and blindness in both developed and developing countries. Although the merits of DR screening are well recognized, significant variations in screening practices including imaging modality still exists. To evaluate and compare the sensitivity and specificity of mydriatic and non-mydriatic photographic screening methods using 7-Field fundus photography or dilated fundus examination (DFE) by an ophthalmologist as reference standard. A systematic review using PRISMA Guidelines was conducted by online search of MEDLINE, Web of Science, and other repositories of all available studies from 1990 until 2019. A total of 62 studies were included in the meta-analysis from a total of 406 suitable abstracts screened and 95 articles reviewed in full. Data were collected using a standardized extraction form independently, with all authors masked to others’ search results. For the detection of any DR (ADR), sensitivity ranged from 81% with single field to a maximum of 99% for 4–7 fields and wide-angle images. For detection of referable DR (RDR) sensitivity ranged from 76% for single field to 93% for wide-angle photography. Specificity was lowest at 91% for wide-angle images and greatest at 99% for three field photography. Study heterogeneity was noted to be significant, which was partly attributed to the range of DR classification between studies. The sensitivity and specificity of DR screening are positively associated with number of photographic fields. Pooled estimates suggest non-mydriatic two-field photography may be sufficient for screening detection of ADR and RDR.

description: The first 1/fb of LHC searches have set impressive limits on new colored particles decaying to missing energy. We address the implication of these searches for naturalness in supersymmetry (SUSY). General bottom-up considerations of natural electroweak symmetry breaking show that higgsinos, stops, and the gluino should not be too far above the weak scale. The rest of the spectrum, including the squarks of the first two generations, can be heavier and beyond the current LHC reach. We have used collider simulations to determine the limits that all of the 1/fb searches pose on higgsinos, stops, and the gluino. We find that stops and the left-handed sbottom are starting to be constrained and must be heavier than about 200-300 GeV when decaying to higgsinos. The gluino must be heavier than about 600-800 GeV when it decays to stops and sbottoms. While these findings point toward scenarios with a lighter third generation split from the other squarks, we do find that moderately-tuned regions remain, where the gluino is just above 1 TeV and all the squarks are degenerate and light. Among all the searches, jets plus missing energy and same-sign dileptons often provide the most powerful probes of natural SUSY. Overall, our results indicate that natural SUSY has survived the first 1/fb of data. The LHC is now on the brink of exploring the most interesting region of SUSY parameter space.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A study was conducted to develop a method for the assessment of marine benthic fauna quality specific for the Polish part of the Southern Baltic Sea. A biotic index “B”, comprising the criteria required by the Water Framework Directive (WFD) normative definitions, regarding abundance dominance structure, species richness and sensitivity of species to eutrophication pressure, was developed. The applicability of the “B” index and other widely used indices (Shannon–Wiener Index H’ and Benthic Quality Index BQI) was tested in relation to eutrophication indicators, using long-term HELCOM COMBINE monitoring data (1987–2009) from the Polish coastal and transitional waters. Results showed that “B” index is responsive to anthropogenic disturbance and reflects specific environmental conditions of the Polish marine areas.

description: Both linear regression with generalized estimating equations (GEE) and linear mixed-effects models (LMEM) can be used to estimate the marginal association of an exposure with clustered continuous outcomes. This study compares their performance for bivariate continuous outcomes which are common in eye studies. Parametric and non-parametric simulations were used to compare the GEE models including independent, exchangeable, and unstructured working correlation structures and LMEM including random intercept only and random intercept and slope models in R and SAS. Data generation referenced the data distributions from a real-world study for estimating ocular structure-visual function relationships in patients with retinitis pigmentosa. From both parametric and non-parametric simulations, comparing the random intercept LMEM and GEE exchangeable model, bias was similar; coverage probability of the 95% confidence interval (CI) from the random intercept LMEM was often closer to 95%, especially when the sample size was small; the power for testing the association of the exposure was higher from the GEE exchangeable model, but its type-I error rate might be inflated especially when the sample size was small. The type-I error rate from the random intercept LMEM was closer to 0.05, but it might be under 0.05 and coverage probability might be over 95%. The GEE independent model performed worst and the LMEM with both random intercept and slope might not converge. To estimate marginal exposure-outcome association with bivariate continuous outcomes, the random intercept LMEM may be preferred. It has the best coverage probability of 95% CI and is the only model with correct type-I error rates in this study. However, it may have low power and overly wide CI in studies with small sample size or low inter-eye correlation.

Variation in size and shape of legs segments, as well as genital field is large, and adults of the Indian L. crinita Koenike, 1898 cannot be distinguished from L. australica (Lundblad 1947, Cook 1967). However, based on larval morphology, Martin and Smit (2002) showed that the two are separate species. I collected at both pools water skaters (Insecta: Gerridae), but none were parasitized. Research on the larval morphology is needed to elucidate the status of this species from New Guinea. New for the fauna of New Guinea.

description: We report on the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) high-Q whispering gallery microcavities on a fused silica chip by femtosecond laser microfabriction, enabled by the 3D nature of femtosecond laser direct writing. The processing mainly consists of formation of freestanding microdisks by femtosecond laser direct writing and subsequent wet chemical etching. CO2 laser annealing is followed to smooth the microcavity surface. Microcavities with arbitrary tilting angle, lateral and vertical positioning are demonstrated, and the quality (Q)-factor of a typical microcavity is measured to be up to 1.07x10^6, which is currently limited by the low spatial resolution of motion stage used during the laser patterning and can be improved with motion stages of higher resolutions.

description: We show that the entropy of the distribution of avalanche lifetimes in the Kinouchi-Copelli model always achieves a maximum jointly with the dynamic range. This is noteworthy and nontrivial because while the dynamic range is an equilibrium average measure of the sensibility of a sensory system to a stimulus, the entropy of relaxation times is a purely dynamical quantity, independent of the stimulus rate, that can be interpreted as the efficiency of the network seen as a communication channel. The newly found optimization occurs for all topologies we tested, even when the distribution of avalanche lifetimes itself is not a power-law and when the entropy of the size distribution of avalanches is not concomitantly maximized, strongly suggesting that dynamical rules allowing a proper temporal matching of the states of the interacting neurons is the key for achieving good performance in information processing, rather than increasing the number of available units.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Sea level rise influences the rate of shoreline erosion and constitutes one of the many factors causing spatial and temporal change in sandy beach habitats. In eastern Canada, Prince Edward Island’s north shore is particularly vulnerable to surges and storms, with shoreline erosion rates as high as 330 cm year–1 recorded in the last decade. Because marine invertebrates associated to exposed sandy beaches are assumed to be primarily controlled by species-specific responses to swash climate and sediment characteristics, they should respond to physical changes such as those linked to erosion. We hypothesized that areas exposed to different levels of erosion exhibit different intertidal characteristics and, consequently, different faunistic densities and distributions. We sampled 12 sandy beaches associated with three main geomorphologic types: dune, till, and sandstone deposits. At each beach we surveyed invertebrates and sediments from the intertidal zone (20 samples per beach). Simultaneously, we measured slope and identified erosion levels based on proximity to erosion monitoring stations established in the area. The highest overall densities were found in sandy beaches associated with dune and till coasts, which coincidentally, also exhibited the highest levels of erosion. Species richness was low but also positively correlated with level of erosion and was highest in dune and till beaches. These results suggest that beach geomorphology and erosion rate play a role in community parameters, and that density and species richness should be explored further in order to identify the best indicators (indices or species) to account for community change and sandy beach monitoring.
LFU tests with semitauonic decays at LHCb

description: Three tests of lepton flavour universality in semitauonic B decays using LHCb Run 1 data are presented. Namely, these are measurements of the ratios of branching fractions of B0->D* (tau/mu) nu (using both muonic and 3-prong hadronic tau decays) and Bc->J/psi (tau/mu) nu (using the muonic tau decay). All three results, along with similar measurements from BaBar and Belle, lie above the Standard Model prediction, hinting at the violation of lepton flavour universality. Prospects for future improvements in precision are also discussed.

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Anisotropic spherically symmetric systems are studied in the connection and densitized triad variables used in loop quantum gravity. The material source is an anisotropic fluid, which is arguably the most commonly used source term in anisotropic studies within general relativity. The gravitational+anisotropic fluid constraints are derived and analyzed and then quantum gravity inspired holonomy replacements are performed. The quantum properties of the fluid are dictated by the modified constraint equations. Particular attention is paid to wormhole throats, as they provide a simplistic model of the structures thought to be ubiquitous in the quantum gravity space-time foam at high energy scales. In comparison to the purely classical theory, the quantum corrections act to increase the energy density of the fluid, which indicates that they may lessen the energy condition violation present in the classical theory. Related to this, in principle it would be possible to have scenarios where the classical solution yields everywhere negative (with a zero at the throat) fluid energy density but the corresponding quantum corrected theory possesses only small regions of negative energy density or even everywhere non-negative energy density.

description: This paper examines how the process of making higher education choices in the United States – whether to enter higher education, attend a particular college, or follow a particular route – reproduces and legitimates social inequality. The paper’s central thesis is that a societal regime of many choices – while widely seen as serving individual freedom and producing social well-being – actually builds on and extends societal inequality but in a way that obscures that process of social reproduction to virtually all who participate in that regime. As the paper argues, the provision of many choices produces social inequality. People often make choices that do not serve their interests as well as they might wish, particularly if students are faced with many choices and do not have adequate information. Secondly, the incidence of those suboptimal choices is not random but is socially stratified. It is higher for less advantaged people, and societal factors – such as the unequal distribution of economic resources, unequal provision of good information, and unequal exposure to discrimination – play a crucial role in producing those socially stratified suboptimal choices. Finally, the provision of many choices legitimates social inequality. The more one thinks in terms of choices the more one tends to blame the unfortunate, including oneself, for their circumstances. Seemingly offered many choices in life, both the winners and losers in society come to feel that much of the inequality they experience is due to their own actions and therefore is legitimate. The paper concludes by offering various prescriptions for reducing the socially stratifying consequences and ideological impacts of a high-choice regime. In making these arguments, this paper draws on the research literature in sociology of education, behavioral economics, and social psychology of inequality.

description: We propose a common features approach and establish that global temperatures and greenhouse gases share a common trend without conditioning on the exact nature of their trends. We also find deterministic cycles in global temperature series with a period of 72 years whose amplitude is non-negligible compared to the warming effect caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. We also explore the direction of causation in the co-trending relationship by establishing an error correction mechanism, which shows that greenhouse gas emissions do not respond to the equilibrium errors whereas the global temperature responds to equilibrium errors so as to maintain the co-trending relationship. Finally, we forecast future temperatures conditional on representative concentration pathways (RCP) of greenhouse gases considered by the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC). Our forecasts show that the cyclical component could play a significant role in the next 30 years in such a way that would make the politics of effective emission control policy making more challenging.

Even in this restricted class the spacetime has unlimited scopes determined by an equation of state of the form P_{eff}=ωρ. Depending on the distance from the origin (or horizon of a black hole) the state function ω(r) takes different values. It is observed that ω\rightarrow(1/3) (the ultra relativistic case in 4 - dimensions) and ω\rightarrow-1 (the cosmological constant) are the limiting values of our state function ω(r) in a spacetime centered by a black hole. This suggests that having a constant ω throughout spacetime around a charged black hole in f(R) gravity with constant scalar curvature is a myth.

BSM physics and lepton flavor nonuniversality in semileptonic b decays
Creators: name: Sumensari, Olcyr
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Even though the LHC searches so far did not unveil the new physics particles, B-factories and LHCb hint towards deviations from Lepton Flavor Universality in both the tree-level and loop-induced B-meson semileptonic decays. In this talk I will propose a new leptoquark model that can fully accommodate these deviations and discuss the main predictions that can be tested at LHCb and/or Belle-II.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Benthic communities are determined by structure (bathymetry, currents, temperature, and seabed type) and by interactions with food sources, disturbance, and predation, which are likely to be non-uniform in space. A model was constructed in which spatio-temporal data could be input as a GIS layer and interacted with the functional relationships for colonization, competition, predation, growth mortality, and spawning. These functional relationships can be specified as add-on functions and applied to a complex, spatially organized, functional group by means of operator overloading. By encapsulating the low-level representation of spatial data within the functional group, the model is efficient in its memory access patterns. The size-based structuring, which allows predation and competition between functional groups to be expressed, is combined with an orthogonal variable used to express the proportion of calcified material, such as shell. By expressing the coefficients of biological process as a range of values determined by a function, the data layers could be used to modify the parameters of the biological processes. An example is shown in which a GIS layer describing frequency of beam trawling is combined with an empirical model of mortality resulting from disturbance, to demonstrate the effect of beam trawling on growth and biomass of benthic infauna and epifauna communities. The data layers can also be used to represent information from linked models such as ERSEM, either online through coupling, or offline as a netCDF file.

description: We study the magnitude of zero-point vibration in one-component crystals. For the crystals whose constituent atoms share the same bonding geometry, we prove the existence of a characteristic temperature, T0, at which the magnitude of zero-point vibrations equals to that of the excited vibrations. Within the Debye model T0 is found to be ~1/3 of the Debye temperature. The results are demonstrated in realistic systems.

description: We consider the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a distorted diamond chain and use the localized-magnon picture adapted to a distorted geometry to discuss some of its high-field low-temperature properties. More specifically, in our study we assume that the partition function for a slightly distorted geometry has the same form as for ideal geometry, though with slightly dispersive one-magnon energies. We also discuss the relevance of such a description to azurite.

description: We study the dissipative dynamics of two independent arrays of many-body systems, locally driven by a common entangled field. We show that in the steady state the entanglement of the driving field is reproduced in an arbitrarily large series of inter-array entangled pairs over all distances. Local nonclassical driving thus realizes a scale-free entanglement replication and long-distance entanglement distribution mechanism that has immediate bearing on the implementation of quantum communication networks.

A study of stability analysis of pyroclastic covers based on electrical resistivity measurements

description: Usually, the degree of stability of a slope is quantified by the Factor of Safety whose values depend on physical and mechanical soil properties analyzed on samples of much reduced sizes or referring to very small soil volumes around porous probes. To overcome the limit of punctual information, we propose a semi-empirical approach based on the use of geophysical methods and the employment of a geophysical Factor of Safety recently introduced by the authors in terms of local resistivities and slope angles. In this paper, we show an application of our proposal on a test area of about 2000 m2 on Sarno Mountains (Campania Region - Southern Italy), where shallow landslides involving pyroclastic soils periodically occur triggered by critical rainfall events. Starting from two resistivity tomography surveys performed on the test area in autumn and spring, we obtained maps of the geophysical Factor of Safety at different depths for the two seasons. We also estimated the values of the Factor of Safety by using the infinite slope model in the dry and saturated scenario. A comparison between the values of the geophysical and geotechnical Factor of Safety shows advantages and disadvantages of our approach.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fishing using fish pots is of growing interest along the French coastline. Ifremer, together with the fishing industry, conducted a project to develop new prototypes of fish pot suitable for the local fisheries. After development in flume tanks, five different designs of pots were tested on board the RV €œThalia€ in the bay of Douarnenez (Brittany, France). These trials looked at the ergonomy and behaviour of the gear, and tested the effect of pot height and design on catches. Specific interest was in limiting the catch of conger eel (with low market value) while maintaining high catches of other commercial species. Each model of pot was used at three different heights daily (0, 1, and 2 m). Catch data were obtained for 3—5 pots over 13 days. The main catch was common pout and conger eel. Analysis of the catch data showed that the gear design and mesh size have an effect on pot performance and selectivity. One of the pot models (with a bottom side entrance) was efficient at limiting the conger eel catch, with an acceptable catch of common pout. The pot height affected the catch of both species. The models with the most interesting catch potential are currently being used by fishers to be assessed under professional conditions.

description: We propose a scanning tunneling microscopy Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interferometer on the surface of a topological insulator (TI) to probe the crossover from analogous weak antilocalization (WAL) to weak localization (WL) phenomenon via the AB oscillations in spin-resolved local density of states (LDOS). Based on our analytical and numerical results, we show that with increasing the energy gap of TI surface states, the $Φ_{0}/2$=$hc/2e$ periodic AB oscillations in spin-resolved LDOS gradually transit into the $Φ_{0}$ periodic oscillations.

description: We investigate an alternative description of the SU(M)-singlet FQH state by using the spinless basis. The SU(M)-singlet Halperin state is obtained via the q-deformation of the Laughlin state and its root of unity limit, by applying the Yangian Gelfand-Zetlin basis for the spin Calogero-Sutherland model. The squeezing rule for the SU(M) state is also investigated in terms of the spinless basis.
