description: Effects of CP violation and of final state interactions between pairs of pseudoscalar mesons are studied in three-body B+, B-, B0 and antiB0 decays into K pi pi. An alternative approach to the isobar model for three-body B decays is proposed. It is based on the QCD factorization approximation and the knowledge of the meson-meson form factors. Some phenomenological charming penguin amplitudes are needed to describe the branching fractions, direct CP asymmetries of the quasi-two-body B --> K*(892) pi and B --> K0*(1430) pi decays as well as the K pi effective mass and the helicity angle distributions. The experimental branching fractions for the B --> K0*(1430) pi decay, obtained by the Belle and BaBar collaborations using the isobar model, are larger than our predictions by about 52 per cent.

description: Heavy flavor measurements in high multiplicity proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions at collider energies enable unique insights into their production and hadronization mechanism because experimental and theoretical uncertainties cancel in ratios of their cross-sections relative to minimum bias events. We explore such event engineering using the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) effective field theory to compute short distance charmonium cross-sections. The CGC is combined with heavy-quark fragmentation functions to compute $D$-meson cross-sections; for the $J/ψ$, hadronization is described employing Nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) and an Improved Color Evaporation model. Excellent agreement is found between the CGC computations and the LHC heavy flavor data in high multiplicity events. Event engineering in this CGC+NRQCD framework reveals a very rapid growth in the fragmentation of the $^3S_1^{[8]}$ state in rare events relative to minimum bias events.

description: Greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, methane, and other trace gases, are likely to cause significant climate changes in the next century, and greater environmental changes in subsequent periods.('") We examine these changes and the ways in which they will challenge, stress, and even destroy aspects of the natural and human environment. Preventing major climate change is essentially impossible because of the time needed to curtail emissions of greenhouse gases.(') Rather than trying to accomplish an unfeasible goal, efforts should be aimed at preventing still larger emissions with their potentially catastrophic effects. The greater social challenge will be to adapt to the new climate regime and learn to mitigate potentially harmful consequences. As discussed below, this mitigation is likely to be easier and quicker in rich countries than in poor ones, particularly in poor countries with traditional, nonmarket economies.

description: The Implicit Association Test has become one of the most widely used tools in psychology and related research areas. The IAT’s validity and reliability, however, are still debated. We argue that the IAT’s reliability, and thus its validity, strongly depends on the particular application (i.e., which attitudes are measured, which stimuli are used, and the sample). Thus, whether a given application for a given sample will achieve sufficient reliability cannot be answered a priori. Using extensive simulations, we demonstrate an easily calculated post-hoc method based on standard significance tests that enables researchers to test whether a given application reached sufficient reliability levels. Applying this straightforward method can thus enhance confidence in the results of a given IAT. In an empirical test, we manipulate the sources of error in a given IAT experimentally and show that our method is sensitive to otherwise unobservable sources of error.

description: This paper introduces RecAI, a practical toolkit designed to augment or even revolutionize recommender systems with the advanced capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). RecAI provides a suite of tools, including Recommender AI Agent, Recommendation-oriented Language Models, Knowledge Plugin, RecExplainer, and Evaluator, to facilitate the integration of LLMs into recommender systems from multifaceted perspectives. The new generation of recommender systems, empowered by LLMs, are expected to be more versatile, explainable, conversational, and controllable, paving the way for more intelligent and user-centric recommendation experiences. We hope the open-source of RecAI can help accelerate evolution of new advanced recommender systems. The source code of RecAI is available at \url{https://github.com/microsoft/RecAI}.

description: We report, for the first time, the characterizations on optical nonlinearities of beta-phase gallium oxide (\b{eta}-Ga2O3), where both (010) \b{eta}-Ga2O3 and (-201) \b{eta}-Ga2O3 were examined for two-photon absorption (TPA) coefficient, Kerr refractive index, and their polarization dependence. The wavelength dependence of the TPA coefficient and Kerr refractive index was estimated using a widely used analytical model. \b{eta}-Ga2O3 exhibits a TPA coefficient of 1.2 cm/GW for (010) \b{eta}-Ga2O3 and 0.58 cm/GW for (-201) \b{eta}-Ga2O3. The Kerr refractive index is -2.14*10^(15) cm2/W for (010) \b{eta}-Ga2O3 and -2.89*10^(15) cm2/W for (-201) \b{eta}-Ga2O3. In addition, \b{eta}-Ga2O3 shows stronger nonlinear optical anisotropy on the (-201) plane than on the (010) plane, possibly due to highly asymmetric crystal structure. Compared with that of gallium nitride (GaN), the TPA coefficient of \b{eta}-Ga2O3 is 20 times smaller, and the Kerr refractive index of \b{eta}-Ga2O3 is also found to be 4 to 5 times smaller. These results indicate that \b{eta}-Ga2O3 has the potential for use in ultra-low loss waveguides and ultra-stable resonators and integrated photonics, especially in the UV and visible wavelength spectral range.

description: "Killer fogs" and other acute air pollution episodes have occurred in the past fifty years.' The highly industrialized Meuse Valley of Belgium experienced climatic conditions permitting the buildup of abnormally high levels of air pollutants (particularly sulfur dioxide) during December 1930. Over a five-day period, approximately 6,000 people became ill and approximately 60 died (most of whom were elderly persons or those with previous heart and lung conditions). This was more than 10 times the number of deaths which would normally be expected.

description: Aging has become the paradigm to describe dynamical behavior of glassy systems, and in particular spin glasses. Trap models have been introduced as simple caricatures of effective dynamics of such systems. In this Letter we show that in a wide class of mean field models and on a wide range of time scales, aging occurs precisely as predicted by the REM-like trap model of Bouchaud and Dean. This is the first rigorous result about aging in mean field models except for the REM and the spherical model.

description: The Government has carried out an active family planning education and contraceptive service program which has helped cut Taiwan's natural increase rate in half in twenty years (from 1963’s 3.0%. to less than 1.6% in 1983). Nevertheless, the population has increased from 1953's 12 million to nearly 19 million in 1983. To continue this fertility decline, the program is considering focusing more efforts on the adolescent group (15-19) whose births comprised 6-8% of all during the past few years. In addition to demographic policy, there has recently been more awareness of social problems occurring as a result of an increase in unwanted premarital pregnancy for those married at age less than 20 (derived from findings of the 1980 Island-wide fertility KAP survey). Modernization, it appears, is bringing not only universal education but certain social and demographic problems. Unfortunately, until recently, we did not know a great deal about adolescent activities, i.e., our scientific body of knowledge on adolescent sexuality-related behavior was quite limited. Although there were a number of university-centered or sponsored studies of small samples or limited geographic areas (which attracted a fair amount of newspaper coverage), there had been no island-wide probability sample from which one might draw conclusions about the whole adolescent body. Too often, impressions of adolescent sexual activity are overstated based on anecdotes, sometimes apocryphal, about factory workers who represent only a small segment of the adolescent population. To remedy this and provide a clearer understanding of the existing social situation, the Taiwan Provincial Institute of Family Planning, with National Science Council support, and the cooperation of the University of Massachusetts Division of Public Health, the first Island-wide sample survey of youth’s viewpoint and behavior to male and female socializing took place. This survey focused particularly on unmarried females ages 15-19, but also included married women as well. These findings, made available in mid-1984, indicate the need to review the present Governmental Policy to strengthen the educational input on reproduction, pregnancy, family planning and contraception in the public and private schools. In addition, curriculum input, teacher and school administrator training, and educational materials related to the social relationships of male and female adolescents, particularly responsibility regarding sexuality, need to be developed. These findings also show that Government and private agencies need to make stronger efforts to reach adolescents, both in and out of school, with specific public information about contraception, particularly its availability and usage.

description: We study the large-$t$ small angle behavior of quark-quark elastic scattering. We employ a factorization procedure previously developed for fixed angle scattering, which depends on the color structure of the factorized hard subprocess. We find an evolution in $t$ that (in leading logarithmic approximation) becomes diagonal in a singlet-octet basis in the $t$-channel as $s\rightarrow \infty$. Octet exhange in the hard scattering is associated with the familiar `reggeized', $s^{α_g(t)}$ behavior, which arises from $s$-dependence in Sudakov suppression. In contrast, Sudakov suppression for $t$-channel singlet exchange in the hard scattering is $s$-independent. In general, these contributions are mixed by soft corrections, which, however, cancel in many experimental amplitudes and cross sections.

description: We study the effects of bond randomness in the spin-$1/2$ $J_1-J_2$ triangular Heisenberg model using exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group. With increasing bond randomness, we identify a randomness induced spin-liquid-like phase without any magnetic order, dimer order, spin glass order, or valence-bond glass order. The finite-size scaling of gaps suggests the gapless nature of both spin triplet and singlet excitations, which is further supported by the broad continuum of dynamical spin structure factor. By studying the bipartite entanglement spectrum of the system on cylinder geometry, we identify the features of the low-lying entanglement spectrum in the spin-liquid-like phase, which may distinguish this randomness induced spin-liquid-like phase and the intrinsic spin liquid phase in the clean $J_1 - J_2$ triangular Heisenberg model. We further discuss the nature of this spin-liquid-like phase and the indication of our results for understanding spin-liquid-like materials with triangular-lattice structure.

description: Numerous architectural description languages (ADLs) have been developed, each providing complementary capabilities for architectural development and analysis. Unfortunately, each ADL and supporting toolset operates in isolation, making it difficult to integrate those tools and share architectural descriptions. ACME is being developed as a joint effort of the software architecture research community as a common interchange format for architecture design tools. ACME provides a structural framework for characterizing architectures, together with annotation facilities for additional ADL-specific information. This scheme permits subsets of ADL tools to share architectural information that is jointly understood, while tolerating the presence of information that falls outside their common vocabulary. In this paper we describe ACME's key features, rationale, and technical innovations.

We obtain total result for the ground state hyperfine splitting $Δν^{hfs}=4465.526$ MHz which improves the previous calculation of Lakdawala and Mohr due to the account of new corrections. The remaining difference between the theoretical result and experimental value of the hyperfine splitting equal to 0.522 MHz lies in the range of theoretical error and requires the subsequent investigation of higher order corrections.

description: The topic of this conference, An Institutional Framework for Monetary Stability, properly highlights one part of the problem of achieving and sustaining price stability. Without a supporting set of institutions, and public support of those institutions, a central bank finds it difficult, and in some countries impossible, to control inflation or deflation. Argentina is probably the best-known example of a developed country with inadequate institutions that prevent price stability, but it is not alone.

description: We describe the preparation of a poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) brush, polymerized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of tert-butyl acrylate (tBA) and subsequent acid hydrolysis, on the flat gold surfaces of quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) crystals. The PAA brushes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, ellipsometry and water contact angle analysis. The interaction of the PAA brushes with human serum albumin (HSA) was studied for a range of ionic strengths and pH conditions by quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). The quantitative analysis showed a strong adsorption of protein molecules onto the PAA brush. By increasing the ionic strength, we were able to release a fraction of the initially bound HSA molecules. This finding highlights the importance of counterions in the polyelectrolyte-mediated protein adsorption/desorption. A comparison with recent calorimetric studies related to the binding of HSA to polyelectrolytes allowed us to fully analyze the QCM data based on the results of the thermodynamic analysis of the binding process.

description: Technical Debt, considered by many to be the 'silent killer' of software projects, has undeniably become part of the everyday vocabulary of software engineers. We know it compromises the internal quality of a system, either deliberately or inadvertently. We understand Technical Debt is not all derogatory, often serving the purpose of expediency. But, it is associated with a clear risk, especially for large and complex systems with extended service life: if we do not properly manage Technical Debt, it threatens to "bankrupt" those systems. Software engineers and organizations that develop software-intensive systems are facing an increasingly more dire future state of those systems if they do not start incorporating Technical Debt management into their day to day practice. But how? What have the wins and losses of the past decade of research and practice in managing Technical Debt taught us and where should we focus next? In this paper, we examine the state of the art in both industry and research communities in managing Technical Debt; we subsequently distill the gaps in industrial practice and the research shortcomings, and synthesize them to define and articulate a vision for what Technical Debt management looks like five years hence.

description: Due to the scale and complexity of cloud systems, a system failure would trigger an "alert storm", i.e., massive correlated alerts. Although these alerts can be traced back to a few root causes, the overwhelming number makes it infeasible for manual handling. Alert aggregation is thus critical to help engineers concentrate on the root cause and facilitate failure resolution. Existing methods typically utilize semantic similarity-based methods or statistical methods to aggregate alerts. However, semantic similarity-based methods overlook the causal rationale of alerts, while statistical methods can hardly handle infrequent alerts.
 To tackle these limitations, we introduce leveraging external knowledge, i.e., Standard Operation Procedure (SOP) of alerts as a supplement. We propose COLA, a novel hybrid approach based on correlation mining and LLM (Large Language Model) reasoning for online alert aggregation. The correlation mining module effectively captures the temporal and spatial relations between alerts, measuring their correlations in an efficient manner. Subsequently, only uncertain pairs with low confidence are forwarded to the LLM reasoning module for detailed analysis. This hybrid design harnesses both statistical evidence for frequent alerts and the reasoning capabilities of computationally intensive LLMs, ensuring the overall efficiency of COLA in handling large volumes of alerts in practical scenarios. We evaluate COLA on three datasets collected from the production environment of a large-scale cloud platform. The experimental results show COLA achieves F1-scores from 0.901 to 0.930, outperforming state-of-the-art methods and achieving comparable efficiency. We also share our experience in deploying COLA in our real-world cloud system, Cloud X.

description: This paper studies the accounting treatment of uncertainty and how it affects a firm's capital structure. We distinguish two sources of uncertainty that raise reliability concerns: inherent uncertainty and incentive uncertainty. By inherent uncertainty, we refer to uncertainty about the quality of raw information regarding future cash flows. By incentive uncertainty, we refer to uncertainty about the quality of accounting numbers conveying the raw information. We explore features of accounting that can effectively deal with these two types of uncertainties in order to aid in the debt-equity decision of the firm. To handle inherent uncertainty, preferable accounting involves flexible revenue/expense recognition rules that recognize more profit when the uncertainty level is low. To deal with incentive uncertainty, a stringent revenue/expense recognition rule may be desirable to fend off management's opportunistic reporting behavior. Inflexible accounting rules cause a firm's financing choices to deviate from what would hold with complete information. Given any accounting rule, an information environment with a lower (higher) uncertainty regarding future cash inflows leads to higher (lower) expected debt financing. This is because assessed default risk is increasing in the uncertainty of future cash inflows, holding the uncertainty of the outflows constant.

Έτσι, στη σημερινή εποχή, λόγω της αυξανόμενης χρήσης νέων συστημάτων ασύρματων επικοινωνιών, η ανάγκη για την ανάπτυξη νέων τεχνικών με σκοπό την βελτιστοποίηση των επιδόσεων σε νέα και διαφορετικά περιβάλλοντα και περιορισμούς κρίνεται αναγκαία. Μια τέτοια τεχνική είναι η μορφοποίηση των λοβών ακτινοβολίας των στοιχειοκεραιών προκειμένου οι χρήστες να μπορούν να εξυπηρετηθούν πιο αποδοτικά μέσω της αύξησης του σηματοθορυβικού λόγου αλλά και να αυξηθεί το πλήθος των χρηστών που εξυπηρετούνται ταυτόχρονα μέσω της δημιουργίας πολλαπλών λοβών ακτινοβολίας ώστε ο καθένας να αντιστοιχεί και σε ένα διαφορετικό χρήστη. Στην παρούσα εργασία εξετάστηκαν και παρουσιάστηκαν διαφορετικά μοντέλα στοιχειοκεραιών και διαφορετικές τεχνικές μορφοποίησης δέσμης ακτινοβολίας αυτών για διαφορετικά σενάρια απαιτήσεων.

Στη συνέχεια αναφέρονται τα βασικά χαρακτηριστικά των στοιχειοκεραιών και παρουσιάζονται οι δυσκολίες και οι περιορισμοί που θέτει το ασύρματο περιβάλλον διάδοσης το οποίο πρέπει να ληφθεί σοβαρά υπόψιν κατά τη σχεδίαση του συστήματος ασύρματης μετάδοσης. Τα επόμενα κεφάλαια έχουν ως σκοπό την παρουσίαση των διαφορετικών τεχνικών μορφοποίησης δέσμης ακτινοβολίας και των προβλημάτων που παρουσιάζονται ανάλογα των απαιτήσεων τόσο ως προς το εύρος ζώνης των σημάτων όσο και ως προς το μέγεθος της στοιχειοκεραίας, παραγόντων που είναι αρκετά ικανοί να υποβαθμίσουν την ποιότητα της ασύρματης μετάδοσης.

A supersymmetric extension of the standard model naturally allows for such a scenario. One consequence is that the tau neutrino becomes the lightest supersymmetric particle.

description: In this paper, we consider the problem of stabilizing discrete-time linear systems by computing a nearby stable matrix to an unstable one. To do so, we provide a new characterization for the set of stable matrices. We show that a matrix $A$ is stable if and only if it can be written as $A=S^{-1}UBS$, where $S$ is positive definite, $U$ is orthogonal, and $B$ is a positive semidefinite contraction (that is, the singular values of $B$ are less or equal to 1). This characterization results in an equivalent non-convex optimization problem with a feasible set on which it is easy to project. We propose a very efficient fast projected gradient method to tackle the problem in variables $(S,U,B)$ and generate locally optimal solutions. We show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared to other approaches.

description: An expert ranking of forestry journals was compared with journal impact factors and h-indices computed from the ISI Web of Science and internet-based data. Citations reported by Google Scholar appear to offer the most efficient way to rank all journals objectively, in a manner consistent with other indicators. This h-index exhibited a high correlation with the journal impact factor (r=0.92), but is not confined to journals selected by any particular commercial provider. A ranking of 180 forestry journals is presented, on the basis of this index.

description: We report the inclusion of phonon scattering to our recently established numerical package QmeQ for transport in quantum dot systems. This enables straightforward calculations for a large variety of devices. As examples we show (i) transport in a double-dot structure, where energy relaxation is crucial to match the energy difference between the levels, and (ii) the generation of electrical power by contacting cold electric contacts with quantum dot states, which are subjected to heated phonons.

Τα ψυκτικά ρευστά που μελετώνται είναι τα R404A, R1234ze(E), R245fa και R1224yd. Για κάθε ένα από αυτά υπολογίζεται το έργο του συμπιεστή, η παροχή του ψυκτικού μέσου και ο συντελεστής απόδοσης (COP). Η διερεύνηση αυτών των παραμέτρων μας οδηγεί στο συμπέρασμα ότι το ψυκτικό ρευστό R1224yd είναι η βέλτιστη επιλογή για χρήση στον ψυκτικό θάλαμο.

description: Two complementary sources of information are studied in a multiperiod agency model. One is an accounting source which partially but credibly conveys the agent’s private information through accounting recognition. The other is an unverified communication by the agent (i.e., a self-report). In a simple setting with no communication, alternative labor market frictions lead to alternative optimal recognition policies. When the agent is allowed to communicate his private information, accounting signals serve as a veracity check on the agent’s self-report. Finally, such communication sometimes makes delaying the recognition optimal. We see contracting and confirmatory roles of accounting as its comparative advantage. As a source of information, accounting is valuable because accounting reports are credible, comprehensive, and subject to careful and professional judgment. While other information sources may be more timely in providing valuation information about an entity, audited accounting information, when used in explicit or implicit contracts, ensures the accuracy of the reports from nonaccounting sources.

description: In this course, we will examine the power and limitations of scientific investigation. We will consider some of the fundamental questions addressed by astronomy and learn how the physical sciences can address these questions. While most of the objects astronomers study are remote, many provide new perspectives on the Earth, and the methods we use can be applied to many "real world" problems. Finally, we will explore what we know and don't know about the Universe and its constituent parts, and how we have reached those conclusions. In this context, students will be required to think about and solve conceptual and quantitative problems of astronomy and physics, including some moderately challenging topics. This will involve some use of algebra and geometry.

description: In this work, we explore a class of compact charged spheres that have been tested against experimental and observational constraints with some known compact stars candidates. The study is performed by considering the self-gravitating, charged, isotropic fluids which is more pliability in solving the Einstein-Maxwell equations. In order to determine the interior geometry, we utilize the Vaidya-Tikekar geometry for the metric potential with Riessner-Nordstrom metric as an exterior solution. In this models, we determine constants after selecting some particular values of M and R, for the compact objects SAX J1808.4-3658, Her X-1 and 4U 1538-52. The most striking consequence is that hydrostatic equilibrium is maintained for different forces, and the situation is clarified by using the generalized Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation. In addition to this, we also present the energy conditions, speeds of sound and compactness of stars that are very much compatible to that for a physically acceptable stellar model. Arising solutions are also compared with graphical representations that provide strong evidences for more realistic and viable models, both at theoretical and astrophysical scale.

Accounting Measurement Basis, Market Mispricing, and Firm Investment Efficiency

description: In this paper, we investigate how the accounting measurement basis affects the capital market pricing of a firm's shares, which, in turn, affects the efficiency of the firm's investment decisions. We distinguish two broad bases for accounting measurements: input-based and output-based accounting. We argue that the structural difference in the two measurement bases leads to a systematic difference in the efficiency of the investment decisions. In particular, we show that an output-based measure has a natural advantage in aligning investment incentives because of its comprehensiveness. The (first-)best investment is achieved when the output-based measure is noiseless and manipulation free. In addition, under an output-based measure, more accounting noise/manipulation always leads to more inefficient investment choices. Therefore, if an output-based accounting measure is highly noisy and easy to manipulate in practice, the induced investment efficiency can be quite low. On the other hand, an input-based accounting measure, while not as comprehensive, may induce more efficient investment decisions than an output-based measure if some noise is unavoidable in either measure. The reason is twofold. First, input-based measures may be associated with less noise and limited manipulation in practice. Second, and more importantly, we show that under an input-based measure, a slight increase in accounting noise/manipulation may lead to more efficient investment choices. In fact, the (first-)best result is achieved when the noise/manipulability is small but positive. In other words, for an input-based measure, being less comprehensive makes small but positive accounting noise/manipulability desirable. Two extensions of the basic model are also explored.
QCD Corrections to Higgs Boson Production: Non- Leading Terms in the Heavy Quark Limit

description: We compute analytic results for the QCD corrections to Higgs boson production via gluon fusion in hadronic collisions in the limit in which the top quark is much heavier than the Higgs boson. The first non-leading corrections of $Ø(α_s^3 \mh^2/m_t^2)$ are given and numerical results presented for both LHC and SSC energies. We confirm earlier numerical results showing that the dominant corrections have the same mass dependence as the Born cross section.

description: Preparing and certifying bound entangled states in the laboratory is an intrinsically hard task, due to both the fact that they typically form narrow regions in the state space, and that a certificate requires a tomographic reconstruction of the density matrix. Indeed, the previous experiments that have reported the preparation of a bound entangled state relied on such tomographic reconstruction techniques. However, the reliability of these results crucially depends on the extra assumption of an unbiased reconstruction. We propose an alternative method for certifying the bound entangled character of a quantum state that leads to a rigorous claim within a desired statistical significance, while bypassing a full reconstruction of the state. The method is comprised by a search for bound entangled states that are robust for experimental verification, and a hypothesis test tailored for the detection of bound entanglement that is naturally equipped with a measure of statistical significance. We apply our method to families of states of $3\times 3$ and $4\times 4$ systems, and find that the experimental certification of bound entangled states is well within reach.
