description: The Griffiths phase has been proposed to induce a stretched critical regime that facilitates self-organizing of brain networks for optimal function. This phase stems from the intrinsic structural heterogeneity of brain networks, such as the hierarchical modular structure. In this work, we extend this concept to modified hierarchical networks with small-world connections based on Hanoi networks. Through extensive simulations, we identify the role of an exponential distribution of the inter-moduli connectivity probability across hierarchies determining the emergence of the Griffiths phase. Numerical results and the complementary spectral analysis on the relevant networks can be helpful for a deeper understanding of the essential structural characteristics of finite dimensional networks to support the Griffiths phase.

description: The book is an introduction to writing argumentative essays in history at school. It guides pupils and teachers through the stages of formulating thesis and arguments, assessment of sources (including internet-based sources), structuring the narrative, polishing vocabulary and style and re-using the sources in various contexts. It is based on the research findings of Chauncey Monte-Sano and Jeffrey Nokes. It has been developed within the research project "Cohesion building of multiethnic societies in 10th-21st c. and thus is thematically related to the history of multiethnic societies, predominantly Medieval and most often from the borderland areas of the European continent, but also in connection to contemporary times and local history.

description: The recent emergence of detections of the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect through cross-correlation techniques is encouraging for the prospects of future cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. Extracting information on the large-scale velocity fields and constraining cosmological parameters from such kSZ measurements requires an understanding of the optical depth to CMB photons through halos. Using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations we find that there exists a low-scatter relation between the optical depth and thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) signal of halos within a physical aperture. We propose that such a relation can be used to break the degeneracy between optical depth and line-of-sight velocity in kSZ measurements. The limiting factors in our proposal are systematic uncertainties associated with the sub-grid physics models in the simulations, which we calculate to be less than 10 percent. We discuss future observational measurements that could potentially be used to mitigate the systematic uncertainties in this scaling relation.

description: Introduction: A community cannot avoid the frustrating problem of antisocial behavior, which consists of actions that violate traditions or standards. To deal with the antisocial behavior and aggression in children, a variety of techniques and interventions have been proposed and applied throughout the world. Teachers can overcome antisocial behavior in educational institutions through professional development programs. In Pakistan, there are few studies that focus on teachers’ professional development in behavior management, which should be investigated. Methods: A qualitative research study examined teacher professional development courses aimed at improving classroom management skills and controlling antisocial behaviors by collecting information from instructors. This approach was taken because this study aims to identify teacher educators’ experiences related to antisocial and aggression control training in the school setting. In addition, the limitations and challenges associated with such development programs are revealed through semi-structured interviews. Results: Researchers reported major challenges related to such trainings include resistance and unwillingness of school authorities and teachers to participate in such trainings, as well as lack of resources and finances. Discussion: To ensure that teacher training is effective and leads to the development of teacher skills and improvement of student behavior, researchers recommend implementing evidence-based intervention programs with ongoing monitoring by a trained teacher specialist. It is also recommended that curricula be standardized and in-service training results be empirically verified.

description: The spin current relaxation time [tau] in thermally evaporated pentacene films was evaluated with the spin-pump-induced spin transport properties and the charge current transport properties in pentacene films. Under an assumption of a diffusive transport of the spin current in pentacene films, the zero-field mobility and the diffusion constant of holes in pentacene films were experimentally obtained to be ~8.0x10^-7 m^2/Vs and ~2.0x10^-8 m^2/s, respectively. Using those values and the previously obtained spin diffusion length in pentacene films of 42{plus-minus}10 nm, the [tau] in pentacene films was estimated to be 150{plus-minus}120 ns at room temperature. This estimated [tau] in pentacene films is long enough for practical use as a spintronic material.

description: We consider Earth satellite orbits in the range of semi-major axes where the perturbing effects of Earth's oblateness and lunisolar gravity are of comparable order. This range covers the medium-Earth orbits (MEO) of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems and the geosynchronous orbits (GEO) of the communication satellites. We recall a secular and quadrupolar model, based on the Milankovitch vector formulation of perturbation theory, which governs the long-term orbital evolution subject to the predominant gravitational interactions. We study the global dynamics of this two-and-a-half degrees-of-freedom Hamiltonian system by means of the fast Lyapunov indicator (FLI), used in a statistical sense. Specifically, we characterize the degree of chaoticity of the action space using angle-averaged normalized FLI maps, thereby overcoming the angle dependencies of the conventional stability maps. Emphasis is placed upon the phase-space structures near secular resonances, which are of first importance to the space debris community. We confirm and quantify the transition from order to chaos in MEO, stemming from the critical inclinations, and find that highly inclined GEO orbits are particularly unstable. Despite their reputed normality, Earth satellite orbits can possess an extraordinarily rich spectrum of dynamical behaviors, and, from a mathematical perspective, have all the complications that make them very interesting candidates for testing the modern tools of chaos theory.

description: Millimeter wave (mmWave) based speech recognition provides more possibility for audio-related applications, such as conference speech transcription and eavesdropping. However, considering the practicality in real scenarios, latency and recognizable vocabulary size are two critical factors that cannot be overlooked. In this paper, we propose Radio2Text, the first mmWave-based system for streaming automatic speech recognition (ASR) with a vocabulary size exceeding 13,000 words. Radio2Text is based on a tailored streaming Transformer that is capable of effectively learning representations of speech-related features, paving the way for streaming ASR with a large vocabulary. To alleviate the deficiency of streaming networks unable to access entire future inputs, we propose the Guidance Initialization that facilitates the transfer of feature knowledge related to the global context from the non-streaming Transformer to the tailored streaming Transformer through weight inheritance. Further, we propose a cross-modal structure based on knowledge distillation (KD), named cross-modal KD, to mitigate the negative effect of low quality mmWave signals on recognition performance. In the cross-modal KD, the audio streaming Transformer provides feature and response guidance that inherit fruitful and accurate speech information to supervise the training of the tailored radio streaming Transformer. The experimental results show that our Radio2Text can achieve a character error rate of 5.7% and a word error rate of 9.4% for the recognition of a vocabulary consisting of over 13,000 words.

description: Parahydrogen-induced polarization is a hyperpolarization method for enhancing nuclear magnetic resonance signals by chemical reactions/interactions involving the para spin isomer of hydrogen gas. This method has allowed for biomolecules to be hyperpolarized to such a level that they can be used for real time in vivo metabolic imaging. One particularly promising example is fumarate, which can be rapidly and efficiently hyperpolarized at low cost by hydrogenating an acetylene dicarboxylate precursor molecule using parahydrogen. The reaction is relatively slow compared to the timescale on which the hyperpolarization relaxes back to thermal equilibrium, and an undesirable 2nd hydrogenation step can convert the fumarate into succinate. To date, the hydrogenation chemistry has not been thoroughly investigated, so previous work has been inconsistent in the chosen reaction conditions in the search for ever-higher reaction rate and yield. In this work we investigate the solution preparation protocols and the reaction conditions on the rate and yield of fumarate formation. We report conditions to reproducibly yield over 100 mM fumarate on a short timescale, and discuss aspects of the protocol that hinder the formation of fumarate or lead to irreproducible results. We also provide experimental procedures and recommendations for performing reproducible kinetics experiments in which hydrogen gas is repeatedly bubbled into an aqueous solution, overcoming challenges related to the viscosity and surface tension of the water.
FCNC decays of SM fermions into a dark photon

description: We analyze a new class of FCNC processes, the $f \to f^{\prime} \, \barγ$ decays of a fermion $f$ into a lighter (same-charge) fermion $f^{\prime}$ plus a {\it massless} neutral vector boson, a {\it dark photon} $\barγ$. A massless dark photon does not interact at tree level with observable fields, and the $f \!\to\! f^{\prime} \, \barγ$ decay presents a characteristic signature where the final fermion $f^{\prime}$ is balanced by a {\it massless invisible} system. Models recently proposed to explain the exponential spread in the standard-model Yukawa couplings can indeed foresee an extra unbroken {\it dark} $U(1)$ gauge group, and the possibility to couple on-shell dark photons to standard-model fermions via one-loop magnetic-dipole kind of FCNC interactions. The latter are suppressed by the characteristic scale related to the mass of heavy messengers, connecting the standard model particles to the dark sector. We compute the corresponding decay rates for the top, bottom, and charm decays ($t\to c\, \barγ,u\, \barγ$, $\;b\to s\, \barγ,d\, \barγ$, and $c\to u \barγ$), and for the charged-lepton decays ($τ\to μ\, \barγ, e\, \barγ$, and $μ\to e \barγ$) in terms of model parameters. We find that large branching ratios for both quark and lepton decays are allowed in case the messenger masses are in the discovery range of the LHC. Implications of these new decay channels at present and future collider experiments are briefly discussed.

Currents in supersymmetric field theories

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A general formalism to construct and improve supercurrents and source or anomaly superfields in two-derivative N=1 supersymmetric theories is presented. It includes arbitrary gauge and chiral superfields and a linear superfield coupled to gauge fields. These families of supercurrent structures are characterized by their energy-momentum tensors and R currents and they display a specific relation to the dilatation current of the theory. The linear superfield is introduced in order to describe the gauge coupling as a background (or propagating) field. Supersymmetry does not constrain the dependence on this gauge coupling field of gauge kinetic terms and holomorphicity restrictions are absent. Applying these results to an effective (Wilson) description of super-Yang-Mills theory, matching or cancellation of anomalies leads to an algebraic derivation of the all-order NSVZ beta function.

description: We study the polarized quark hadronization in a Monte Carlo (MC) framework based on the recent extension of the quark-jet framework, where a self-consistent treatment of the quark polarization transfer in a sequential hadronization picture has been presented. Here, we first adopt this approach for MC simulations of hadronization process with finite number of produced hadrons, expressing the relevant probabilities in terms of the eight leading twist quark-to-quark transverse momentum dependent (TMD) splitting functions (SFs) for elementary $q \to q'+h$ transition. We present explicit expressions for the unpolarized and Collins fragmentation functions (FFs) of unpolarized hadrons emitted at rank two. Further, we demonstrate that all the current spectator-type model calculations of the leading twist quark-to-quark TMD SFs violate the positivity constraints, and propose quark model based ansatz for these input functions that circumvents the problem. We validate our MC framework by explicitly proving the absence of unphysical azimuthal modulations of the computed polarized FFs, and by precisely reproducing the earlier derived explicit results for rank two pions. Finally, we present the full results for pion unpolarized and Collins FFs, as well as the corresponding analyzing powers from high statistics MC simulations with a large number of produced hadrons for two different model input elementary SFs. The results for both sets of input functions exhibit the same general features of opposite signed Collins function for favored and unfavored channels at large $z$, and at the same time demonstrate the flexibility of the quark-jet framework by producing significantly different dependences of the results at mid- to low-$z$ for the two model inputs.

Using moments of semileptonic B decay spectra and information based on the Lowest-Lying State saturation Approximation (LLSA) we perform a global fit of the nonperturbative parameters of the heavy quark expansion including for the first time the O(1/mb^{4,5}) contributions. Higher power corrections appear to have a very small effect on the extraction of |Vcb|, independently of the weight we attribute to the LLSA.

description: Within the context of semiquantum nonlocal games, the trust can be removed from the measurement devices in an entanglement-detection procedure. Here we show that a similar approach can be taken to quantify the amount of entanglement. To be specific, first, we show that in this context a small subset of semiquantum nonlocal games is necessary and sufficient for entanglement detection in the LOCC paradigm. Second, we prove that the maximum pay-off for these games is a universal measure of entanglement which is convex and continuous. Third, we show that for the quantification of negative-partial-transpose entanglement, this subset can be further reduced down to a single arbitrary element. Importantly, our measure is operationally accessible in a measurement-device-independent way by construction. Finally, our approach is simply extended to quantify the entanglement within any partitioning of multipartite quantum states.

description: We explore the construction of supersymmetric solutions of theories of N=2,d=4 supergravity with a SU(2) gauging and SU(2) Fayet-Iliopoulos terms. In these theories an SU(2) isometry subgroup of the Special Kahler manifold is gauged together with a SU(2) R-symmetry subgroup. We construct several solutions of the CP3 quadratic model directly in four dimensions and of the ST[2,6] model by dimensional reduction of the solutions found by Cariglia and Mac Conamhna in N=(1,0),d=6 supergravity with the same kind of gauging. In the CP3 model, we construct an AdS2xS2 solution which is only 1/8 BPS and an RxH3 solution that also preserves 1 of the 8 possible supersymmetries. We show how to use dimensional reduction as in the ungauged case to obtain RnxSm and also AdSnxSm-type solutions (with different radii) in - and 4 dimensions from the 6-dimensional AdS3xS3 solution.

description: We report synthesis of Co substitution at Fe site in Fe1-xCoxSe0.5Te0.5 (x=0.0 to 0.10) single crystals via vacuum shield solid state reaction route using flux free method. Single crystal XRD results showed that these crystals grow in (00l) plane i.e., orientation in c-direction. All the crystals possess tetragonal structure having P4/nmm space group. Detailed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show that the crystals are grown in slab-like morphology. The EDAX results revealed the final elemental composition to be near stoichiometric. Powder X-Ray diffraction (PXRD) Rietveld analysis results show that (00l) peaks are shifted towards higher angle with increasing Co concentration. Both a and c lattice parameters decrease with increasing Co concentration in Fe1-xCoxSe0.5Te0.5 (x=0.0 to 0.10) single crystals. Low temperature transport and magnetic measurements show that the superconducting transition temperature (Tc), decreases from around 12K to 10K and 4K for x=0.03 and x=0.05 respectively. For x=0.10 crystal superconductivity is not observed down to 2K.

The ground state and excited states of this system belong to different universality classes, characterized by infinite-randomness quantum critical behavior. Using strong-disorder renormalization group techniques, we show that the crossover between the zero and finite energy density regimes is universal. We analytically derive a flow equation describing the unitary dynamics of this isolated system at finite energy density from which we obtain universal scaling functions along the crossover.

In this research, both explanatory and descriptive research designs were used. In order to collect the data, a standard questionnaire has been used. Information gathered from questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive and inferential (correlation, regression) statistical tools. The result shows that buyers-sellers relationship has significant positive effects on sales effectiveness. Predictor variable INFO with beta value of 0.424 made the first strong positive and statistically significant influence in explaining or predicting the dependent variable (SE) than the STT and SOLID. Predictor variable SOLID made the second strong statistically significant positive influence on SE with Beta value of 0.222. With Beta value of 0.218 Predictor variables STT also made strong statistically significant positive influence on SE. Generally, having better information network, solidarity and strength of ties between buyers and sellers brings positive effect on sales effectiveness.

description: Reaction-diffusion models are widely used to study spatially-extended chemical reaction systems. In order to understand how the dynamics of a reaction-diffusion model are affected by changes in its input parameters, efficient methods for computing parametric sensitivities are required. In this work, we focus on stochastic models of spatially-extended chemical reaction systems that involve partitioning the computational domain into voxels. Parametric sensitivities are often calculated using Monte Carlo techniques that are typically computationally expensive; however, variance reduction techniques can decrease the number of Monte Carlo simulations required. By exploiting the characteristic dynamics of spatially-extended reaction networks, we are able to adapt existing finite difference schemes to robustly estimate parametric sensitivities in a spatially-extended network. We show that algorithmic performance depends on the dynamics of the given network and the choice of summary statistics. We then describe a hybrid technique that dynamically chooses the most appropriate simulation method for the network of interest. Our method is tested for functionality and accuracy in a range of different scenarios.

Observable Lepton Number Violation with Predominantly Dirac Nature of Active Neutrinos

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study a specific version of $SU(2)_R \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_{B-L}$ models extended by discrete symmetries where the new physics sector responsible for tiny neutrino masses at leading order remains decoupled from the new physics sector that can give rise to observable signatures of lepton number violation such as neutrinoless double beta decay. More specifically, the dominant contribution to light neutrino masses comes from a one-loop Dirac mass. At higher loop level, a tiny Majorana mass also appears which remains suppressed by many order of magnitudes in comparison to the Dirac mass. Such a model where the active neutrinos are predominantly of Dirac type, also predicts observable charged lepton flavour violation like $μ\rightarrow 3e, μ\rightarrow e γ$ and multi-component dark matter.

description: This study examines the Community based health insurance Enrollment/practice & challenges in Ethiopia by taking Aleltu district as case of study. The study, with the prime objectives of to find out & mention the roots of problems & was geared towards answering key research questions germane in enrollment of the CBHI in the Aleltu woreda. Primary data have been collected from beneficiary's (members) of CBHI by taking 150 respondents from five Gandas namely Maru, Mikawa, S/sageda, Ejersa & W/dera using structured self-administer questioner. Three employees of CBHI were contacted for in-depth interview & one manager of CBHI Finfine branch also has been contacted for triangulation purpose. The data were putted in SPSS version 21 in order to get descriptive statistics or result. The Qualitative data collected via in-depth interviews & open ended questions were analyzed through transcription in to micro-soft word processing then by categorizing & coding on their theme. The result, of the analysis shows that supply side challenges such as Lack of skilled man power in handling the CBHI in the woreda, Lack of budget to perform the enrollment rate of CBHI in different villages of Aleltu, Absence of available nearest government hospitals at the distract level, lack of enough man power because, Absence of digital camera in order to take the photo of households during their membership, Absence of enough computers & printers (In order to encoding the file of each members), the office is not covenant (narrow in size), the government health service is not satisfactory like the private health sectors therefore peoples prefer to a place where good service is provided. Among demand side challenges; during registration time households will not bring required things (For instance Photo graphs, filling of necessary data's), during the claim of money paying during the refer time they will forget the receipt for the payment they made at the referral hospitals, During the filling of ID membership they will not tell necessary information, dalliance on Id renewal, during registration time they will not bring their family member.

description: De periode waarin mensen werken of onderwijs volgen wordt langer en flexibeler. Mensen wisselen vaker periodes van leren, loondienst en zelfstandig ondernemerschap af. Nieuwe generaties betreden de arbeidsmarkt; zij kijken anders tegen organisaties aan en brengen nieuwe kennis en andere waarden mee. Automatisering en robotisering maken hele beroepsgroepen overbodig, maar er ontstaan ook nieuwe banen. De noodzaak tot vernieuwing op de werkvloer is groot. Grenzen tussen werk, privé en vrije tijd vervagen. Wanneer een baan niet langer het grootste deel van het dagelijks leven beslaat, zoeken mensen andere manieren om zin te geven aan hun bestaan. Ook daar, of misschien wel juist daar is voor bibliotheken een waardevolle bijdrage te leveren.

description: In organic sweet cherry orchards and in vineyards, farmers are frequently facing the challenge to efficiently manage soil fertility and crop production quality, at the same time solving residues and by-products disposing problems, in a circular
 economy perspective. The solution proposed is to carry out a sustainable valorization of farm wastes (e.g. cover crops residues and pruning residues), at a low cost, by easily producing and applying “compost tea” at farm level. Compost tea is a liquid suspension generally obtained from the oxygenation of compost soaked in water. It can allow to manage soil fertility in organic farming, since organic molecules and inorganic elements (N, P, K and other ions) in solution can produce a quick nutritional effect. This is combined with the effects of biostimulation, induced by molecules with hormone-like activity.
 Compost tea can also have suppressive effects against crop pathogens, mainly due to antagonistic microorganisms.
description: This practice abstract was elaborated in the frame of the OLTRE.BIO project (PSR Puglia - Misura 16 Cooperazione Sottomisura 16.2 Sostegno a progetti pilota e allo sviluppo di nuovi prodotti, pratiche, processi e tecnologie). The project is running from August 2020 to February 2024, and is to contribute to manage soil fertility, in organic cherry orchards and vineyards, by using green manure, compost and compost tea produced on-farm.

description: Using the Geroch transformation we obtain the first example of an exact stiff fluid spike solution to the Einstein field equations in a closed form exhibiting a spacelike $G_1$ group of symmetries (i.e., with a single isometry). This new solution is of Petrov type I and exhibits a spike crossing which persists to the past, which allows us to better understand spike crossings in the context of structure formation.
