description: We theoretically investigate the thermo-particle transport properties of an unitary Fermi gas be- tween two reservoirs connected by a quantum point contact. We find several distinguished properties that are qualitatively different from those of weak or non-interacting gas systems. The particle trans- port figure of merit is drastically enhanced in the unitary regime and it increases as the transmission coefficient increases, exactly opposite to the behavior in the weak or non-interacting gas systems. The Lorentz number violates the Wiedemann-Franz law, demonstrating the breakdown of Fermi liquid. These transport properties are the hallmarks of the unitary Fermi gas and are attributed to the existence of preformed Cooper pairs.

Carbon nanotube grafted fibres: a route to advanced hierarchical composites
Creators: name: Qian, Hui
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The feasibility of reinforcing conventional fibre/polymer composites by grafting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) onto the fibre surfaces has been investigated. Different methods were developed for directly growing CNTs on silica and carbon (C320 and IM7) fibres. Pure and N-doped CNTs with controllable length were grown on silica fibres using an injection chemical vapour deposition (ICVD) method. The diameter and crystallinity of both types of CNTs increased during growth, which proceeded via the base-growth mechanism. However, the nature surface of carbon fibres is not favourable for the ICVD method. As an alternative, CNT-grafted carbon fibres were produced using the incipient wetness technique or electrochemical deposition to pre-load catalyst for subsequent CNT growth. The effects of growth parameters on the morphology, density, and alignment of CNTs were explored. The CNT-grafting process maintained or improved the fibre tensile modulus, but resulted in strength degradations, to different extents, depending on the fibre type and growth parameters. The impact of CNT-grafting on the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) was studied using different micromechanical interface tests, based on different fibre/polymer systems. The IFSS was unchanged in push-out tests, likely due to an unusual internal failure of the fibres. In all other cases, the IFSS was significantly increased. Single fibre pull-out tests on C320 carbon fibre/epoxy composites showed a 60% increase, whilst fragmentation tests on poly(methyl methacrylate) composites yielded improvements of 26% and 80-150% for IM7 carbon fibres and silica fibres, respectively. The improvements can be attributed to the increased surface area, excellent fibre wettability by the matrix and mechanical interlocking of CNTs with the matrix. In addition, a new combined in situ AFM/Raman technique proved to be a useful tool to study CNT distribution and orientation within hierarchical composites.

description: Since the introduction of bolometers more than a century ago, they have been applied in a broad spectrum of contexts ranging from security and the construction industry to particle physics and astronomy. However, emerging technologies and missions call for faster bolometers with lower noise. Here, we demonstrate a nanobolometer that exhibits roughly an order of magnitude lower noise equivalent power, $20\textrm{ zW}/\sqrt{\textrm{Hz}}$, than previously reported for any bolometer. Importantly, it is more than an order of magnitude faster than other low-noise bolometers, with a time constant of 30 $μ$s at $60\textrm{ zW}/\sqrt{\textrm{Hz}}$. These results suggest a calorimetric energy resolution of $0.3\textrm{ zJ}=h\times 0.4$ THz with a time constant of 30 $μ$s. Thus the introduced nanobolometer is a promising candidate for future applications requiring extreme precision and speed such as those in astronomy and terahertz photon counting.

description: We study one-loop correction to the Chern-Simons coefficient $κ=k/4π$ in $N=1,2,3$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills Chern-Simons systems. In the pure bosonic case, the shift of the parameter $k$ is known to be $k\rightarrow k + c_v$, where $c_v$ is the quadratic Casimir of the gauge group. In the $N=1$ case, the fermionic contribution cancels the bosonic contribution by half and the shift is $k \rightarrow k+ c_v/2$, making the theory anomalous if $c_v$ is odd. In the $N=2,3$ cases, the fermionic contribution cancels the bosonic contribution completely and there is no correction. We also calculate the mass corrections, showing the supersymmetry is preserved. As the matter fields decouple from the gauge field in the pure Chern-Simons limit, this work sheds some light on the regularization dependency of the correction in pure Chern-Simons systems. We also discuss the implication to the case when the gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken by the Higgs mechanism.

description: We extend the well-known method of calculating bulk correlation functions of the conformal Ising model via bosonisation to situations with boundaries. Oshikawa and Affleck have found the boundary states of two decoupled Ising models in terms of the orbifold of a single free boson compactified on a circle of radius r=1; we adapt their results to include disorder operators. Using these boundary states we calculate the expectation value of a single disorder field on a cylinder with free boundary conditions and show that in the appropriate limits we recover the standard and frustrated partition functions. We also show how to calculate Ising correlation functions on the upper half plane.

c-Jun N-terminal kinase primes endothelial cells at atheroprone sites for apoptosis
Creators: name: Chaudhury, Hera Ashraf
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Atherosclerosis can be initiated by pro-inflammatory activation of endothelial cells (EC) which leads to the recruitment of leukocytes to the vessel wall, and also by endothelial apoptosis which elevates the permeability of arteries to lipoproteins. The greater curvature of the aorta is exposed to high shear and is protected from EC apoptosis, inflammation and atherosclerosis, whereas the lesser curvature is exposed to low shear and is susceptible to atherosclerosis. Pro-inflammatory mediators (e.g. TNFα, LPS) trigger phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 MAP kinases to positively regulate these process and influence atherosclerosis. I examined the effects of JNK activation on EC physiology at atherosusceptible sites. En face staining revealed that phosphorylation of JNK in EC occurs constitutively at the susceptible site of the murine aortic arch and can be enhanced by LPS treatment. In contrast, JNK activation was suppressed at the protected site by mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1), a negative regulator of JNK and p38 MAP kinases. To study the function of JNK and p38 in vascular endothelium, I identified the transcriptional programs that they regulate by applying specific pharmacological inhibitors to cultured EC and assessing the transcriptome using microarrays. Functional annotation revealed that JNK and p38 positively regulate the expression of numerous pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic molecules. Subsequent gene silencing studies demonstrated that JNK1 positively regulates pro-apoptotic molecule expression in EC. I validated my findings in vivo by analyzing EC in aortae of wild-type, JNK1-/- and MKP-1-/- mice. I observed that EC at an atherosusceptible site express pro-apoptotic proteins and are primed for apoptosis and proliferation in response to LPS through a JNK1-dependent mechanism, whereas EC at a protected site expressed lower levels of pro-apoptotic molecules and was protected from injury by MKP-1. These findings indicate that the spatial variation of JNK1 activity delineates the spatial distribution of apoptosis and turnover of EC in arteries, and may influence the punctuate development of atherosclerotic lesions.
Massive Symmetric Space sine-Gordon Soliton Theories and Perturbed Conformal Field Theory

description: The perturbed conformal field theories corresponding to the massive Symmetric Space sine-Gordon soliton theories are identified by calculating the central charge of the unperturbed conformal field theory and the conformal dimension of the perturbation. They are described by an action with a positive-definite kinetic term and a real potential term bounded from below, their equations of motion are non-abelian affine Toda equations and, moreover, they exhibit a mass gap. The unperturbed CFT corresponding to the compact symmetric space G/G_0 is either the WZNW action for G_0 or the gauged WZNW action for a coset of the form G_0/U(1)^p. The quantum integrability of the theories that describe perturbations of a WZNW action, named Split models, is established by showing that they have quantum conserved quantities of spin +3 and -3. Together with the already known results for the other massive theories associated with the non-abelian affine Toda equations, the Homogeneous sine-Gordon theories, this supports the conjecture that all the massive Symmetric Space sine-Gordon theories will be quantum integrable and, hence, will admit a factorizable S-matrix. The general features of the soliton spectrum are discussed, and some explicit soliton solutions for the Split models are constructed. In general, the solitons will carry both topological charges and abelian Noether charges. Moreover, the spectrum is expected to include stable and unstable particles.

Archaeological Overview

description: In the mid-1970s, the Salt River Project, a public utility in Arizona, contracted with the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) to provide archaeological clearance for 148 miles of railroad and transmission line right-of-way in northeastern Arizona prior to actual construction. The project area is roughly bounded by St. Johns and Springerville to the south, and Holbrook and Navajo to the north. Those settlements also help define the western and eastern boundaries of the project area. MNA archaeologists spent just over one year in the field excavating 47 sites found within the railroad and transmission line rights-of-way. Hundreds of flotation, pollen, and bone samples were taken during site excavation.This volume consists of the work of four specialists who analyzed different aspects of the biocultural data base and arrived at conclusions regarding prehistoric subsistence and environment in the project area for the period between ca. 200 B.C.-A.D. 1225. These studies deal with Archaic, Mogollon, and Anasazi plant and animal remains, although the bulk of the material is Anasazi. Most of the Archaic and Mogollon sites were excavated within the transmission line right-of-way and are reported in detail by Hartman (1981). The majority of the Anasazi sites were found within the railroad right-of-way.

description: Artificial light at night has affected most of the natural nocturnal landscapes worldwide and the subsequent light pollution has diverse effects on flora, fauna and human well-being. To evaluate the environmental impacts of light pollution, it is crucial to understand both the natural and artificial components of light at night under all weather conditions. The night sky brightness for clear skies is relatively well understood and a reference point for a lower limit is defined. However, no such reference point exists for cloudy skies. While some studies have examined the brightening of the night sky by clouds in urban areas, the published data on the (natural) darkening by clouds is very sparse. Knowledge of reference points for the illumination of natural nocturnal environments however, is essential for experimental design and ecological modeling to assess the impacts of light pollution. Here we use differential all-sky photometry with a commercial digital camera to investigate how clouds darken sky brightness at two rural sites. The spatially resolved data enables us to identify and study the nearly unpolluted parts of the sky and to set an upper limit on ground illumination for overcast nights at sites without light pollution.

Structural evolution of the Northwest Tarim Basin, China
Creators: name: Turner, Sebastian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The sedimentary and structural record of the NW Tarim Basin, China, provides an insight into the amalgamation of Central Asia and is an ideal area in which to examine the impact of an inherited tectonostratigraphic framework on the evolution of foreland fold-thrust belts. The NW Tarim Basin contains a thick (3-16 km) sedimentary succession which was deposited from the Late Neoproterozoic onwards, and has been exhumed by a foreland fold-thrust belt system associated with the South Tien Shan mountains during the Middle to Late Cenozoic. The research presented in this thesis combines satellite image interpretation and field investigations in order to examine the tectonostratigraphic framework of the NW Tarim Basin and to ascertain the causes of lateral structural variability and partitioning of the foreland fold-thrust belt system. The Upper Neoproterozoic to Lower Permian sedimentary succession records the progressive evolution of the NW Tarim Basin as a rift, intracratonic and foreland basin. Following a period of subaerial exposure throughout the Mesozoic, tectonic subsidence from the Middle Cenozoic onwards was driven by flexural deflection beneath the Pamirs and Tien Shan orogenic belts. This was coupled with the development of a foreland fold-thrust belt system along the northwest margin of the Tarim Basin. Lateral variations in the structural geometry, architecture and style of the foreland fold-thrust belt system correspond to changes in the thickness of the sedimentary succession and interaction with inherited, basement fault zones. An eastwest transition from the wide, arcuate Keping Shan Thrust Belt into the narrow Kashgar Fold Belt is ascribed to thickening of the Cenozoic (syn-tectonic) foreland basin succession. In contrast, internal variations in the structural architecture of the Keping Shan Thrust Belt are governed by lateral changes in the thickness of the Palaeozoic (pre-tectonic) sedimentary succession. These changes occur abruptly across inherited, Early Permian fault zones that have been reactivated as strike-slip faults in order to accommodate these lateral variations in the structure of the fold-thrust belt.
The interactions of human Natural Killer cells with accessory cells
Creators: name: Evans, James Henry
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Natural Killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune system. However, there is increasing evidence that they can also play important roles in the adaptive immune system; as initiators, through antigen presentation; as effectors, via early release of IFN-y; and as immunoregulators, by eliminating over-activated macrophages. The functions of NK cells in these roles are intimately linked to their interactions with other cells during an immune response, for example recognition of target cells via activating receptors. The activating receptor NKG2D recognises proteins that are not normally expressed at the surface of most cells but are up-regulated during a cellular ‘stress’ response. However, NKG2D ligands can also be induced on human macrophages by TLR stimulation, leading to NK cell-mediated lysis. Here, I clarify that ligation of TLR4 preferentially up-regulates MICA but not MICB, TLR7/8 ligation up-regulated both MICA and MICB, while ligating TLR3, signalling through a MyD88-independent pathway, up-regulated neither. TLR4 stimulation decreased expression of microRNAs, miR-17-5, miR- 20a and miR-93, which target MICA, implicating a novel role for microRNAs in post-transcriptional regulation of NKG2D ligand expression. Moreover, the pathway involved IL-12/TNF- a-mediated autocrine signalling, thus incorporating an intrinsic mechanism for NK cell-mediated elimination of particularly activated macrophages. In addition to this immunoregulatory role, NK cell activity can shape a subsequent adaptive immune response. Subsets of NK cells can have distinct functions. Here, I demonstrate that following culture with IL-2, >25% of human peripheral blood NK cells express HLA-DR, due to an expansion of a small subset of NK cells expressing HLA-DR, in contrast to previous assumptions that HLADR is upregulated on previously negative cells. HLA-DR-expressing NK cells exhibited enhanced degranulation to susceptible target cells and expression of the chemokine receptor CXCR3, which facilitated their enrichment following exposure to CXCL11/I-TAC. Suggestive of an immunological role, stimulation of PBMCs with Mycobacterium bovis BCG triggered dramatic expansion of HLADR- expressing NK cells. In addition, the magnitude of the NK cell IFN-y secretion response in PBMC triggered by BCG was associated with the proportion of HLA-DR-expressing NK cells ex vivo. A direct contribution to the immune response was determined by specifically enriching the HLA-DR-expressing NK cell compartment, which substantially augmented the total NK cell IFN-y secretion response to BCG. Thus, HLA-DR expression marks a distinct subset of NK cells, present at low frequency in peripheral blood but readily expanded by IL-2, that can play a significant role during immune responses.

description: Higher accuracy low temperature charge transport measurements in combination with precise X-ray diffraction experiment have allowed detecting the symmetry lowering in the single domain Tm0.19Yb0.81B12 crystals of the family of dodecaborides with metal-insulator transition. Basing on the fine structure analysis we discover formation of dynamic charge stripes within the semiconducting matrix of Tm0.19Yb0.81B12. The charge dynamics in these metallic nano-size conducting channels is characterized by broad-band optical spectroscopy that allowed estimating the frequency (~2.4 10^11 Hz) of quantum motion of the charge carriers. It is suggested that caused by cooperative Jahn-Teller effect in the boron sub-lattice, the large amplitude rattling modes of the Tm and Yb ions are responsible for modulation of the conduction band along [110] direction through the variation of 5d-2p hybridization of electron states.

description: The photodetachment cross section of He^- has been measured in the photon energy range 2.9 eV to 3.3 eV in order to investigate doubly excited states. Measurements were made channel specific by selectively detecting the residual He atoms left in a particular excited state following detachment. Three Feshbach resonances were found in the He(1s2p ^3P)+e^-(epsilon p) partial cross section: a ^4S resonance below the He(1s3s ^3S) threshold and two ^4P resonances below the He(1s3p ^3P) threshold. The measured energies of these doubly excited states are 2.959260(6) eV, 3.072(7) eV and 3.26487(4) eV. The corresponding widths are found to be 0.20(2) meV, 50(5) meV and 0.61(5) meV. The measured energies agree well with recent theoretical predictions for the 1s3s4s ^4S, 1s3p^2 ^4P and 1s3p4p ^4P states, respectively, but the widths deviate noticeably from calculations for 1s3p^2 ^4P and 1s3p4p ^4P states.

description: This report presents the results of a Class III cultural resources survey of 64 acres of privately owned land southeast of the Town of Queen Creek, Pinal County, Arizona. The work was requested by Salt River Project (SRP) to determine if significant cultural resources were present within the surveyed property. SRP is currently acquiring the parcel and is planning to construct an electrical substation (Southeast Valley) on the property. The Southeast Valley (SEV) Substation will be part of the larger Pinal West to Southeast Valley/Browning extra-high voltage transmission line project. This line has recently received a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility from the Arizona Corporation Commission (Case No. 126). The larger line project is sponsored by a consortium of electrical utilities; however, the SEV Substation is sponsored and financed solely by SRP. The cultural resources survey was conducted on 2 February 2007, by Dr. Tiffany Clark and Connie Darby of Desert Archaeology, Inc. Dr. Henderson served as Principal Investigator for the project. Although the surveyed land is private and no archaeological permit is required, Desert Archaeology does hold a current Arizona Antiquities blanket permit (Permit No. 2007-002bl) for conducting non-collection surveys within the state. One isolated occurrence of a prehistoric artifact was recorded by the survey, but no archaeological sites or other significant cultural resources were found within the project area.

description: We continue our study of matrix models of dually weighted graphs. Among the attractive features of these models is the possibility to interpolate between ensembles of regular and random two-dimensional lattices, relevant for the study of the crossover from two-dimensional flat space to two-dimensional quantum gravity. We further develop the formalism of large $N$ character expansions. In particular, a general method for determining the large $N$ limit of a character is derived. This method, aside from being potentially useful for a far greater class of problems, allows us to exactly solve the matrix models of dually weighted graphs, reducing them to a well-posed Cauchy-Riemann problem. The power of the method is illustrated by explicitly solving a new model in which only positive curvature defects are permitted on the surface, an arbitrary amount of negative curvature being introduced at a single insertion.

description: Bayesian inverse modeling is important for a better understanding of hydrological processes. However, this approach can be computationally demanding, as it usually requires a large number of model evaluations. To address this issue, one can take advantage of surrogate modeling techniques. Nevertheless, when approximation error of the surrogate model is neglected, the inversion result will be biased. In this paper, we develop a surrogate-based Bayesian inversion framework that explicitly quantifies and gradually reduces the approximation error of the surrogate. Specifically, two strategies are proposed to quantify the surrogate error. The first strategy works by quantifying the surrogate prediction uncertainty with a Bayesian method, while the second strategy uses another surrogate to simulate and correct the approximation error of the primary surrogate. By adaptively refining the surrogate over the posterior distribution, we can gradually reduce the surrogate approximation error to a small level. Demonstrated with three case studies involving high dimensionality, multimodality, and a real-world application, it is found that both strategies can reduce the bias introduced by surrogate approximation error, while the second strategy that integrates two methods (i.e., polynomial chaos expansion and Gaussian process in this work) that complement each other shows the best performance.

We have developed and tested a 150 micrometer thick quartz Cherenkov beam counter and a scintillator based multiplicity-trigger counter during the first run of this experiment in 1994. We obtained a time resolution of 78 ps for the beam counter at an incident beam rate 5 x 10^5 Hz and 100 ps at a rate of 1 x 10^7 Hz. Pulse height discrimination is used to obtain a minimum bias and a 10% centrality trigger from the multiplicity detectors. The multiplicity counter has a time resolution of 250 ps.

description: Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) was requested by Dr. Judy Brunson-Hadley of the Salt River Project (SRP) to perform a cultural resource survey for three power pole locations along the existing Coolidge-Hayden 115kV transmission line. A new pole will be erected to connect the proposed Arizona Public Service Company (APS) Bonney Brook Substation near Florence, Pinal County; two other poles along the 115kV transmission line will be replaced. ACS recently completed archaeological testing and data recovery for a related project at AZ U:15:46(ASM), Locus S (Crownover and Troncone 1994), which would be impacted by construction of the substation where two of the SRP poles would be placed. AZ U:15:46(ASM) was determined eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places during data recovery for the Salt-Gila Aqueduct\Central Arizona Project (Teague and Crown 1983). SRP requested the current survey to insure that the proposed power pole installations would not impact recently identified features of AZ U:15:46(ASM), Locus S. AZ U:15:46 (ASM) is a previously known site, but not investigated during this project. No features or artifacts associated with AZ U:15:46(ASM) were found within the restricted area of the proposed project. Proposed project does not appear to impact archaeological resources at AZ U:15:46(ASM).

description: A construction of the Virasoro algebra in terms of free massless two-dimensional boson fields is studied. The ansatz for the Virasoro field contains the most general unitary scaling dimension 2 expression built from vertex operators. The ansatz leads in a natural way to a concept of a quasi root system. This is a new notion generalizing the notion of a root system in the theory of Lie algebras. We introduce a definition of a quasi root system and provide an extensive list of examples. Explicit solutions of the ansatz are presented for a range of quasi root systems.

description: For a given $w$ in a Coxeter group $W$ the elements $u$ smaller than $w$ in Bruhat order can be seen as the end-alcoves of stammering galleries of type $w$ in the Coxeter complex $Σ$. We generalize this notion and consider sets of end-alcoves of galleries that are positively folded with respect to certain orientation $ϕ$ of $Σ$. We call these sets shadows. Positively folded galleries are closely related to the geometric study of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties, MV polytopes, Hall-Littlewood polynomials and many more agebraic structures. In this paper we will introduce various notions of orientations and hence shadows and study some of their algorithmic properties.

description: A non-perturbative confinement mechanism has been proposed to explain the fate of the unbroken gauge group on the world-volume of annihilating D-brane-anti-D-brane pairs. In this paper, we examine this phenomenon closely from several different perspectives. Existence of the confinement mechanism is most easily seen by noticing that the fundamental string emerges as the confined electric flux string at the end of the annihilation process. After reviewing the confinement proposal in general, this is shown explicitly in the D2-anti-D2 case in the M-theory limit. Finally, we address the crucial issue of whether and how confinement occurs in the weakly coupled limit of string theory.

description: A quantitative understanding of aggregation mechanisms leading to the formation of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) and protein composites in aqueous media is of paramount interest for colloid chemistry. In particular, the interactions between silica (SiO2) NPs and lysozyme (LZM) have attracted attention, because LZM is well-known to adsorb strongly to silica NPs, while at the same time preserving its enzymatic activity. The inherent nature of the aggregation processes leading to NP-LZM composites involves structural changes at length-scales from few to hundreds of nanometres but also time scales << 1 second. To unravel these we used in situ synchrotron-based small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and followed the subtle interparticle interactions in solution at a time resolution of 50 ms/frame (20 fps). We show that if the size of silica NPs (~5 nm diameter) is matched by the dimensions of LZM, the evolving scattering patterns contain a unique structure factor contribution originating from the presence of LZM. We developed a scattering model and applied it to analyse this structure function, which allowed us to extract structural information on the deformation of lysozyme molecules during aggregation, as well as to derive the mechanisms of composite formation.

description: Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) conducted two cultural resource surveys near Florence Junction, Arizona at the request of Ms. Judy Brunson, Staff Archaeologist of Salt River Project (SRP). The archaeological surveys were performed in order to provide an inventory and assessment of the cultural resources that might be affected by the Queen Valley (Arizona State Land Department Right-of-Way #16-4300) and the Florence Junction-Superior (State Application #-14-96182) transmission line rebuilds. Within the Queen Valley survey area, two artifact scatters and 23 isolated finds were discovered; two of these isolates and one of the scatters are part of a larger, previously recorded site, AZ U:11:34(ASM). Within the Florence Junction-Superior survey area, no sites, artifact scatters, or isolated ar­tifacts were present.

description: Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP) requested that Logan Simpson Design Inc. (LSD) conduct a cultural resources survey prior to the installation of a well pad, a water pipeline right-of-way (ROW), and an electrical transmission line ROW within the Salado Preserve south of St. Johns, Apache County, Arizona. The well pad survey area measures 60 m by 60 m (0.92 acre). The two ROWs are perpendicular to each other and partially overlap. A north to south trending ROW (Corridor 1) and a northeast to southwest trending ROW (Corridor 2) were surveyed. Corridor 1 is 1,477 m long and 40 m wide (11.12 acres) and extends south from the new well pad location to Corridor 2. Corridor 2 is 934 m long and 40 m wide (2.29 acres), beginning at an existing well on its west end and extending east across the Little Colorado River into a marsh. The marsh area east of the river was not surveyed due to extremely thick vegetation coverage and the presence of water.

An introduction to how chi-square and classical exact tests often wildly misreport significance and how the remedy lies in computers

description: Goodness-of-fit tests based on the Euclidean distance often outperform chi-square and other classical tests (including the standard exact tests) by at least an order of magnitude when the model being tested for goodness-of-fit is a discrete probability distribution that is not close to uniform. The present article discusses numerous examples of this. Goodness-of-fit tests based on the Euclidean metric are now practical and convenient: although the actual values taken by the Euclidean distance and similar goodness-of-fit statistics are seldom humanly interpretable, black-box computer programs can rapidly calculate their precise significance.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: The string one loop renormalization of the gauge coupling constants is examined in abelian orbifold models. The contributions to string threshold corrections independent of the compactification moduli fields are evaluated numerically for several representative examples of orbifold models. We consider cases with standard and non-standard embeddings as well as cases with discrete Wilson lines background fields which match reasonably well with low energy phenomenology. We examine one loop gauge coupling constants unification in a description incorporating the combined effects of moduli dependent and independent threshold corrections, an adjustable Kac-Moody level for the hypercharge group factor and a large mass threshold associated with an anomalous $U(1)$ mechanism.
