title: Evaluation of different customer experience metrics in a GameTech company
Creators: name: Χατζημητσου Ελενη

description: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the predictive ability of different customer experience metrics for firm's growth. Customer experience, incorporating the whole customer journey along with the satisfaction and loyalty components, is arguably a factor driving firm growth.
The Net Promoter Score (NPS) metric, the overall Satisfaction and the Expectations fulfilment have been tested in this thesis against firm revenue and other metrics building up firm growth.
The NPS metric is widely adopted with more than two thirds of Fortune 1000 companies using the specific metric, claiming to be correlated with company's revenue growth. Yet, a significant number of academics and professional argue about its actual global correlation with firm growth, suggesting among other the "overall satisfaction" and loyalty as better metrics for firm growth prediction. Noticeably, different metrics may apply better to different industries, where especially the gambling industry involves complicated purchase decision making, often driven by satisfaction, hedonism and addiction.
Upon reviewing relevant literature, a research was conducted based on Stoiximan, a GameTech company engaged in online gambling, users raw data and answers related to the NPS, overall satisfaction and expectations fulfillment. According to the research findings, the NPS metric does not work well as a firm growth predictor, confirming the literature findings. Yet, this indicates that firm growth may be more accurately predicted via implementing a combination of the NPS metric along with a different metric in the online gambling industry.

GSRM: Building Roadmaps for Query-Efficient and Near-Optimal Path Planning Using a Reaction Diffusion System

description: Mobile robots frequently navigate on roadmaps, i.e., graphs where edges represent safe motions, in applications such as healthcare, hospitality, and warehouse automation. Often the environment is quasi-static, i.e., it is sufficient to construct a roadmap once and then use it for any future planning queries. Roadmaps are typically used with graph search algorithm to find feasible paths for the robots. Therefore, the roadmap should be well-connected, and graph searches should produce near-optimal solutions with short solution paths while simultaneously be computationally efficient to execute queries quickly.
 We propose a new method to construct roadmaps based on the Gray-Scott reaction diffusion system and Delaunay triangulation. Our approach, GSRM, produces roadmaps with evenly distributed vertices and edges that are well-connected even in environments with challenging narrow passages. Empirically, we compare to classical roadmaps generated by 8-connected grids, probabilistic roadmaps (PRM, SPARS2), and optimized roadmap graphs (ORM). Our results show that GSRM consistently produces superior roadmaps that are well-connected, have high query efficiency, and result in short solution paths.

description: We introduce a master action in noncommutative space, out of which we obtain the action of the noncommutative Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory. Then, we look for the corresponding dual theory at both first and second orders in the noncommutative parameter. At the first order, the dual theory happens to be, precisely, the action obtained from the usual commutative Self-Dual model by generalizing the Chern-Simons term to its noncommutative version, including a cubic term. Since this resulting theory is also equivalent to the noncommutative massive Thirring model in the large fermion mass limit, we remove, as a byproduct, the obstacles arising in the generalization to noncommutative space, and to the first nontrivial order in the noncommutative parameter, of the bosonization in three dimensions. Then, performing calculations at the second order in the noncommutative parameter, we explicitly compute a new dual theory which differs from the noncommutative Self-Dual model, and further, differs also from other previous results, and involves a very simple expression in terms of ordinary fields. In addition, a remarkable feature of our results is that the dual theory is local, unlike what happens in the non-Abelian, but commutative case. We also conclude that the generalization to noncommutative space of bosonization in three dimensions is possible only when considering the first non-trivial corrections over ordinary space.

description: The husband has the right to divorce his wife as long as he is qualified to effect the divorce, and it is natural that whoever has a right has the right to delegate it. The husband may delegate to his wife the divorce herself, so this is called delegation. Delegation can either be an agency or a mandate.  Power of attorney is what authorizes others to do certain actions, and power of attorney is that the husband has the right to divorce his wife.  We found that the Iraqi legislator in Personal Status Law No. 188 of 1959 In Article 34, two matters are mentioned in which the wife can lift the marital bond: power of attorney and delegation. Since the subject of our research is compared with the Imami jurisprudence, we find that they differed in the two matters, as some of them hold that power of attorney is permissible in the present and absent, and there are those who say in the absent rather than the present. The same applies to authorization of whether or not to impose a ruling. We reached a conclusion in which we stated the most important results and recommendations derived from this research.

description: We study the non-equilibrium time evolution of the classical XY spin model in two dimensions. The two-time autocorrelation and linear response functions are considered for systems initially prepared in a high temperature state and in a completely ordered state. After a quench into the critical phase, we determine, via Monte Carlo simulations, the time-evolution of these quantities and extract the temperature dependence of the slope of the parametric plot susceptibility/correlation in the asymptotic regime. This slope is usually identified with the infinite fluctuation-dissipation ratio which measures the violation to the equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation theorem. However, a direct measure of this ratio leads to a vanishing value.
The Quantized Hall Insulator: a "Quantum" Signature of a "Classical" Transport Regime?

description: Experimental studies of the transitions from a primary quantum Hall (QH) liquid at filling factor 1/k (with k an odd integer) to the insulator have indicated a ``quantized Hall insulator'' (QHI) behavior: while the longitudinal resistivity diverges with decreasing temperature and current bias, the Hall resistivity remains quantized at the value $k h/ e^2$. We review the experimental results and the theoretical studies addressing this phenomenon. In particular, we discuss a theoretical approach which employs a model of the insulator as a random network of weakly coupled puddles of QH liquid at fixed filling factor. This model is proved to exhibit a robust quantization of the Hall resistivity, provided the electron transport on the network is INCOHERENT. Subsequent theoretical studies have focused on the controversy whether the assumption of incoherence is necessary. The emergent conclusion is that in the quantum coherent transport regime, quantum interference destroys the QHI as a consequence of localization. Once the localization length becomes much shorter than the dephasing length, the Hall resistivity diverges. We conclude by mentioning some recent experimental observations and open questions.

description: The dynamical generation of right-handed-neutrino (RHN) masses in the early Universe naturally entails the formation of cosmic strings that give rise to an observable signal in gravitational waves (GWs). Here, we show that a characteristic break in the GW spectrum would provide evidence for a new stage in the cosmological expansion history and a suppression of the RHN mass scale compared to the scale of spontaneous symmetry breaking. The detection of such a spectral feature would thus represent a novel and unique possibility to probe the physics of RHN mass generation in regions of parameter space that allow for low-scale leptogenesis in accord with electroweak naturalness.

description: We present results from four Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations of the bright low mass X-ray binary LMC X-2. During these observations, which span a year and include over 160 hrs of data, the source exhibits clear evolution through three branches on its hardness-intensity and color-color diagrams, consistent with the flaring, normal, and horizontal branches (FB, NB, HB) of a Z-source, and remarkably similar to Z-tracks derived for GX 17+2, Sco X-1 and GX 349+2. LMC X-2 was observed in the FB, NB, and HB for roughly 30%, 40%, and 30% respectively of the total time covered. The source traces out the full extent of the Z in ~1 day, and the Z-track shows evidence for secular shifts on a timescale in excess of a few days. Although the count rate of LMC X-2 is low compared with the other known Z-sources due to its greater distance, the power density spectra selected by branch show very-low-frequency noise characteristics at least consistent with those from other Z-sources. We thus confirm the identification of LMC X-2 as a Z-source, the first identified outside our Galaxy.

description: The incoherent, inelastic part of the resonance fluorescence spectrum of a laser-driven atom is known as the Mollow spectrum [B. R. Mollow, Phys. Rev. 188, 1969 (1969)]. Starting from this level of description, we discuss theoretical foundations of high-precision spectroscopy using the resonance fluorescence light of strongly laser-driven atoms. Specifically, we evaluate the leading relativistic and radiative corrections to the Mollow spectrum, up to the relative orders of (Z alpha)^2 and alpha(Z alpha)^2, respectively, and Bloch-Siegert shifts as well as stimulated radiative corrections involving off-resonant virtual states. Complete results are provided for the hydrogen 1S-2P_{1/2} and 1S-2P_{3/2} transitions; these include all relevant correction terms up to the specified order of approximation and could directly be compared to experimental data. As an application, the outcome of such experiments would allow for a sensitive test of the validity of the dressed-state basis as the natural description of the combined atom-laser system.

description: Control of generically scale-invariant systems, i.e., targeting specific cooperative features in non-linear stochastic interacting systems with many degrees of freedom subject to strong fluctuations and correlations that are characterized by power laws, remains an important open problem. We study the control of surface roughness during a growth process described by the Kardar--Parisi--Zhang (KPZ) equation in $(1+1)$ dimensions. We achieve the saturation of the mean surface roughness to a prescribed value using non-linear feedback control. Numerical integration is performed by means of the pseudospectral method, and the results are used to investigate the coupling effects of controlled (linear) and uncontrolled (non-linear) KPZ dynamics during the control process. While the intermediate time kinetics is governed by KPZ scaling, at later times a linear regime prevails, namely the relaxation towards the desired surface roughness. The temporal crossover region between these two distinct regimes displays intriguing scaling behavior that is characterized by non-trivial exponents and involves the number of controlled Fourier modes. Due to the control, the height probability distribution becomes negatively skewed, which affects the value of the saturation width.

description: We introduce a combined molecular dynamics (MD) and quantum trajectories (QT) code to simulate the effects of near-resonant optical fields on state-vector evolution and particle motion in a collisional system. In contrast to collisionless systems, in which the quantum dynamics of multi-level, laser-driven particles with spontaneous emission can be described with the optical Bloch equations (OBEs), particle velocities in sufficiently collisional systems change on timescales comparable to those of the laser-induced, quantum-state dynamics. These transient velocity changes can cause the time-averaged velocity dependence of the quantum state to differ from the OBE solution. We use this multiscale code to describe laser-cooling in a strontium ultracold neutral plasma. Important phenomena described by the simulation include suppression of electromagnetically induced transparencies through rapid velocity changing collisions and thermalization between cooled and un-cooled directions for anisotropic laser cooling.

Hierzu wurden Einzelfallstudien mit zwei Schüler*innen der 4. Regelklasse durchgeführt. Es wurde ein konkretes Förderziel definiert und ein zweimonatiges Training der Exekutiven Funktion durchgeführt. In der Prä- und Post-Messung wurden Exekutive Funktionen mittels Schülerinterviews und Lehrerfragebogen erfasst. Zudem wurden Lese- und Rechtschreibtests durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Förderung besonders wirksam ist, wenn die Exekutiven Funktionen nicht isoliert, sondern anhand von alltagsrelevanten Aufgaben trainiert werden.

description: We investigate the relaxation process of ferromagnetic domains in 2D subjected to the influence of both, static disorder of variable strength and weak interactions. The domains are represented by a two species bosonic mixture of $^{87}$Rb ultracold atoms, such that initially each specie lies on left and right halves of a square lattice. The dynamics of the double domain is followed by describing the two-component superfluid, at mean field level, through the time dependent Gross-Pitaevskii coupled equations, considering values of the intra and inter-species interaction, reachable in current experimental setups, that guaranty miscibility of the components. A robust analysis for several values inter-species interaction leads us to conclude that the presence of structural disorder leads to slowdown the relaxation process of the initial ferromagnetic order. As shown by our numerical experiments, magnetization is maintained up to 60 percent of its initial value for the largest disorder amplitude.

description: The temperature dependence of ultrafast photoinduced reflectivity transients is reported in Nd$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$MnO$_{3}$ thin film. The photoinduced reflectivity shows a complex response with very different temperature dependences on different timescales. The response on the sub-ps timescale appears to be only weakly sensitive to the 270K-metal-insulator phase transition. Below $\sim 160$ K the sub-ps response displays a two component behavior indicating inhomogeneity of the film resulting from the substrate induced strain. On the other hand, the slower response on the 10-100 ps timescale is sensitive only to the metal-insulator phase transition and is in agreement with some previously published results. The difference in the temperature dependences of the responses on nanosecond and $μ$s timescales indicates that thermal equilibrium between the different degrees of fredom is established relatively slowly - on a nanosecond timescale.

description: We study the onset of the bootstrap percolation transition as a model of generalized dynamical arrest. We develop a new importance-sampling procedure in simulation, based on rare events around "holes", that enables us to access bootstrap lengths beyond those previously studied. By framing a new theory in terms of paths or processes that lead to emptying of the lattice we are able to develop systematic corrections to the existing theory, and compare them to simulations. Thereby, for the first time in the literature, it is possible to obtain credible comparisons between theory and simulation in the accessible density range.

description: We present results from observations of NH_3(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), and (6,6) with the Very Large Array. The data sample the inner 10 pc (4') of the Galaxy and have a velocity coverage of -140 to +130 km/s. The velocity integrated NH_3(3,3) image shows that the Sgr A East supernova remnant is impacting the 50 km/s GMC in the northeast, the northern ridge in the north, and the western streamer in the west. These results imply that the Sgr A East has a large effect on the molecular environment near Sgr A* and may be pushing much of the molecular gas away from Sgr A*. The physical properties of the western streamer and its relation to Sgr A East are discussed in detail. We also summarize the detection of hot molecular gas less than 2 pc from Sgr A* in projected distance. This gas is seen only in NH_3(6,6) and has line widths of 75-85 km/s, indicating that it is physically close to the nucleus.

description: In this paper, we derive fully implementable first order time-stepping schemes for McKean--Vlasov stochastic differential equations (McKean--Vlasov SDEs), allowing for a drift term with super-linear growth in the state component. We propose Milstein schemes for a time-discretised interacting particle system associated with the McKean--Vlasov equation and prove strong convergence of order 1 and moment stability, taming the drift if only a one-sided Lipschitz condition holds. To derive our main results on strong convergence rates, we make use of calculus on the space of probability measures with finite second order moments. In addition, numerical examples are presented which support our theoretical findings.

Stock markets are not what we think they are: the key roles of cross-ownership and corporate treasury stock

description: We describe and document three mechanisms by which corporations can influence or even control stock prices. (i) Parent and holding companies wield control over other publicly traded companies. (ii) Through clever management of treasury stock based on buyback programs and stock issuance, stock price fluctuations can be amplified or curbed. (iii) Finally, history shows a close interdependance between the level of stock prices on the one hand and merger and acquisition activity on the other hand. This perspective in which Boards of Directors of major companies shepherd the market offers a natural interpretation of the so-called "herd behavior" observed in stock markets. The traditional view holds that by driving profit expectations, corporations have an indirect role in shaping the market. In this paper, we suggest that over the last decades they became more and more the direct moving force of stock markets.

description: We present a computation of the decay constant f_Bs in quenched QCD. Our strategy is to combine new precise data from the static approximation with an interpolation of the decay constant around the charm quark mass region. This computation is the first step in demonstrating the feasability of a strategy for f_B in full QCD. The continuum limits in the static theory and at finite mass are taken separately and will be further improved.

A test of Lepton Flavour Universality by comparing the decay widths of W bosons produced in top quark pair events with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
Creators: name: Sanderswood, Izaac
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2021

description: At this time, the Standard Model of particle physics represents our best understanding of physics at the smallest scales. A fundamental axiom of this theory is the universality of the couplings between the different lepton generations and the gauge bosons. This principle is known as Lepton Flavour Universality and can be tested by comparing the decay widths of (semi-)leptonic processes that differ only in lepton flavour. Such a comparison of the decay widths of W bosons to taus and muons can be quantified by R(τ/μ) = Br(W → τν)/Br(W → μν). A measurement of R(τ/μ) is presented in this thesis. The measurement uses W bosons produced in top pair decays with a dileptonic decay mode. The measurement is based on 139 fb−1 of pp collision data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at √s = 13 TeV. In this analysis, muons originating from W bosons and those originating via an intermediate tau are distinguished by the lifetime of the tau, using the transverse impact parameter of the muons, as well as differences in the transverse momenta spectra of the muons. The observed best-fit value of R(τ/μ) is 0.992 ± 0.013[±0.007(stat) ± 0.011(syst)] and is therefore in agreement with the hypothesis of universal lepton couplings, as postulated in the Standard Model. This is the most precise measurement of R(τ/μ), surpassing the previous LEP measurement by a factor 2. This result is consistent with the LEP measurement at the level of 2.7 standard deviations. Such results would not be possible without the continued performance of the ATLAS detector. Primary vertices represent the locations of proton-proton collisions – the ultimate origins of all reconstructed objects used in physics analyses. They are therefore key to understanding the full kinematics of an interaction. However, increasing luminosity poses a challenge for primary vertex reconstruction in ATLAS. The recently finished Run-2 observed a rate of 60 or more proton-proton collisions per beam crossing, and an even higher vertex density is expected in future. As such, ATLAS has developed new tools: a Gaussian track density seed finder and an adaptive multi-vertex finder. The seed finder locates the position of candidate vertices using an analytic model of the track density along the beam axis, and the vertex finder applies a global approach to vertex finding and fitting that allows charged tracks to be assigned to their optimal vertex candidates. This thesis presents studies of the optimisation and exploitation of these tools for the vertex densities expected in the upcoming Run-3 and beyond.
Stretched horizons, quasiparticles and quasinormal modes

description: We propose that stretched horizons can be described in terms of a gas of non-interacting quasiparticles. The quasiparticles are unstable, with a lifetime set by the imaginary part of the lowest quasinormal mode frequency. If the horizon arises from an AdS/CFT style duality the quasiparticles are also the effective low-energy degrees of freedom of the finite-temperature CFT. We analyze a large class of models including Schwarzschild black holes, non-extremal Dp-branes, the rotating BTZ black hole and de Sitter space, and we comment on degenerate horizons. The quasiparticle description makes manifest the relationship between entropy and area.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS IN RIVERS STATE: A STUDY OF FISCAL FEDERALISM AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (2015–2022)
Creators: name: Blessing, Chioma Udo
Publisher: name: NOLAND JOURNALS
Year: 2024
Subjects: fiscal federalism, sustainable development, educational development

description: This study examined the interplay between fiscal federalism and sustainable development in Rivers State, Nigeria, with a specific focus on infrastructural, educational development, technological development, and healthcare delivery. The theoretical framework of the study drew on fiscal federalism theory and systems theory, highlighting the importance of resource allocation and interconnectedness in achieving sustainable development goals. A descriptive survey research design was employed, and primary data were collected through structured questionnaires from a purposive sample of 400 respondents. Pearson Product Correlation Coefficient analysis was conducted to analyze the data. The findings indicate a significant and positive relationship between fiscal federalism and sustainable development in Nigeria. Specifically, the level of financial responsibility and autonomy accorded to state and local governments significantly influenced infrastructural and educational development. The study concludes that fiscal Federalism structures and transparent governance mechanisms are crucial for promoting sustainable development. It recommends enhancing fiscal transparency, integrating sustainable development goals into fiscal policies, allocating a significant portion of resources to critical infrastructure development, and decentralizing fiscal responsibilities to sub-national governments. Strengthening fiscal institutions and promoting accountability in resource allocation are also important factors. These findings contribute to the understanding of the role of fiscal federalism in sustainable development and provide insights for policymakers and stakeholders in Rivers State and other similar contexts
