REMARKS
Our assignment of Crepidula to C. gibbosa does not conform to its treatment in WoRMS and follows arguments provided in Landau et al. (2004: 74). In our opinion the taxonomy of European Crepidula is not resolved and requires in-depth studies that are beyond the scope of this paper.

description: This paper examines what has been described as the most basic and essential element of Kūkai’s (774-835) religio-philosophical system (Yamasaki 1988:190), meditation on the Sanskrit syllable ‘A’. According to Shingon Buddhist tradition, Kūkai introduced the meditation on the syllable ‘A’ (hereafter referred to as the Ajikan) into Japan in the early 9th century, at the time he transmitted the Shingon Dharma to that country from China. Materials clearly showing the origin and development of the Ajikan before Kūkai’s time have either not been discovered or have not been analyzed in relationship to the Ajikan. Indeed, some researchers have argued that the use of ‘A’ as a device for meditation arose as either a Chinese or a Japanese mistranslation of the Mahavairocana-sūtra. The present paper is an attempt to contribute to research on the development of the Ajikan by pointing to related references in writings typically associated with earlier traditions.
Relations between ΔM_{s,d} and B_{s,d}\to μ\barμin Models with Minimal Flavour Violation
Creators: name: Buras, Andrzej J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The predictions for the B_{s,d}-\bar B_{s,d} mixing mass differences ΔM_{s,d} and Br(B_{s,d}\toμ\barμ) within the Standard Model (SM) and its extensions suffer from considerable hadronic uncertainties present in the B_{s,d}-meson decay constants F_{B_{s,d}} that enter these quantities quadratically. We point out that in the restricted class of models with minimal flavour violation (MFV) in which only the SM low energy operators are relevant, the ratios Br(B_{q}\toμ\barμ)/ΔM_q (q=s,d) do not depend on F_{B_{q}} and the CKM matrix elements. They involve in addition to the short distance functions and B-meson lifetimes only the non-perturbative parameters \hat B_{s,d}. The latter are under much better control than F_{B_{s,d}}. Consequently in these models the predictions for Br(B_{q}\toμ\barμ) have only small hadronic uncertainties once ΔM_q are experimentally known. Of particular interest is also the relation Br(B_{s}\toμ\barμ)/Br(B_{d}\toμ\barμ)=\hat B_{d}/\hat B_{s} τ(B_{s})/τ(B_{d}) ΔM_{s}/ΔM_{d} that is practically free of theoretical uncertainties as \hat B_{s}/\hat B_{d}=1 up to small SU(3) breaking corrections. Using these ideas within the SM we find much more accurate predictions than those found in the literature: Br(B_{s}\toμ\barμ)=(3.4\pm 0.5)\cdot 10^{-9} and Br(B_{d}\toμ\barμ)=(1.00\pm 0.14)\cdot 10^{-10} were in the first case we assumed as an example ΔM_s=(18.0\pm 0.5)/ps.

The theoretical predictions for Q^2-dependence of pion form factor are in good agreement with available experimental data. It is shown, that NLO corrections are large in this case and should be taken into account in rigorous theoretical analysis.

description: Quasicrystals can be described as projections of sections of higher dimensional periodic lattices into real space. The image of the lattice points in the projected out dimensions, called the perpendicular space, carries valuable information about the local structure of the real space lattice. In this paper, we show that perpendicular space projection can be used to analyze the elementary excitations of a quasicrystal. In particular, we consider the vertex tight binding model on the two dimensional Penrose lattice and investigate the properties of strictly localized states using perpendicular space images. Our method reproduces the previously reported frequencies for the six types of localized states in this model. We also calculate the overlaps between different localized states and show that the number of type-5 and type-6 localized states which are independent from the four other types is a factor of golden ratio $τ=(1+\sqrt{5})/2$ higher than previously reported values. Two orientations of the same type-5 or type-6 which are supported around the same site are shown to be linearly dependent with the addition of other types. We also show through exhaustion of all lattice sites in perpendicular space that any point in the Penrose lattice is either in the support of at least one localized state or is forbidden by local geometry to host a strictly localized state.

description: The spatial scaling law and intermittency of the $V_2 O_5$ surface roughness by atomic force microscopy has been investigated. The intermittency of the height fluctuations has been checked by two different methods, first, by measuring scaling exponent of q-th moment of height-difference fluctuations i.e. $C_q = < |h(x_1) - h(x_2)|^{q} >$ and the second, by defining generating function $Z(q,N)$ and generalized multi-fractal dimension $D_q$. These methods predict that there is no intermittency in the height fluctuations. The observed roughness and dynamical exponents can be explained by the numerical simulation on the basis of forced Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation.

description: This study examines the impact of audit quality on the financial performance of all the 15 listed DMBs in Nigeria from 2011-2017. Independent variables used are audit firm size, joint audit and audit fee, while ROA, proxy for financial performance, is the dependent variable. Secondary data were used, which were extracted from the financial statements of the listed DMBs. The study employed correlation and ex-post facto research designs and multiple regressions were used for data analysis. The study revealed significant and positive relationship between audit firm size and ROA, negative and significant relationship between joint audit and ROA and negative and insignificant relationship between audit fee and ROA. The study, therefore, recommends that since joint audit showed significant relationship with firm performance in this regard regulatory bodies should try to make joint audit compulsory and any firms that fail to comply should be sanction. The study also recommends that since audit firm size positively and significantly affects firm performance. Smaller audit firm should be encouraged as they are likely to carry out a more thorough audit assignment, because most of the DMBs engaged the service of the bigger audit firm.

description: Currently the RHIC Beam Energy Scan is exploring a new region of the Quantum Chromodynamic phase diagram at large baryon densities that approaches nuclear astrophysics regimes. This provides an opportunity to study relativistic hydrodynamics in a regime where the net conserved charges of baryon number, strangeness, and electric charge play a role, which will significantly change the theoretical approach to simulating the baryon-dense Quark-Gluon Plasma. Here we detail many of the important changes needed to adapt both initial conditions and the medium to baryon-rich matter. Then, we make baseline predictions for the elliptical flow and fluctuations based on extrapolating the physics at LHC and top RHIC energies to support future analyses of where and how the new baryon-dense physics causes these extrapolations to break down. First we compare eccentricities across beam energies, exploring their underlying assumptions; we find the the extrapolated initial state is predicted to be nearly identical to that at AuAu $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV. Then the final flow harmonic predictions are based on linear+cubic response. We discuss preliminary STAR results in order to determine the implications that they have for linear+cubic response coefficients at the lowest beam energy of AuAu $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=7$ GeV.

Semiclassical Accuracy in Phase Space for Regular and Chaotic Dynamics

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A phase-space semiclassical approximation valid to $O(\hbar)$ at short times is used to compare semiclassical accuracy for long-time and stationary observables in chaotic, stable, and mixed systems. Given the same level of semiclassical accuracy for the short time behavior, the squared semiclassical error in the chaotic system grows linearly in time, in contrast with quadratic growth in the classically stable system. In the chaotic system, the relative squared error at the Heisenberg time scales linearly with $\hbar_{\rm eff}$, allowing for unambiguous semiclassical determination of the eigenvalues and wave functions in the high-energy limit, while in the stable case the eigenvalue error always remains of the order of a mean level spacing. For a mixed classical phase space, eigenvalues associated with the chaotic sea can be semiclassically computed with greater accuracy than the ones associated with stable islands.

description: One of the most fascinating and technically demanding parts of the theory of two-dimensional integrable systems constitute the models with the spectral parameter on an elliptic curve, including Landau-Lifshitz and Krichever-Novikov equations, as well as elliptic Toda and Ruijsenaars-Toda lattices, elliptic Volterra lattice and Shabat-Yamilov lattice. We explain how all these models can be unified on the basis of a single equation Q4 on a quad-graph. This discrete model plays the role of the ``master equation'' in the (sl(2) part of) 2D integrability: most of other models in this area can be obtained from this one by certain limiting procedures. More precisely, discrete versions of all of the above mentioned models appear from Q4 imposed on a multi-dimensional cubic lattice. Zero curvature representations for all models appear as a byproduct of the general construction.

description: The transition form factors for doubly heavy baryons into a spin-$1/2$ or spin-$3/2$ ground-state baryon induced by both the charged current and the flavor changing neutral current are systematically studied within the light-front quark model. In the transition the two spectator quarks have two spin configurations and both are considered in this calculation. We use an updated vertex functions, and inspired by the flavor SU(3) symmetry, we also provide a new approach to derive the flavor-spin factors. With the obtained transition form factors, we perform a phenomenological study of the corresponding semi-leptonic decays of doubly heavy baryons induced by the $c\to d/s \ell^+ν$, $b\to c/u\ell^-\bar ν$ and $b\to d/s\ell^+\ell^-$. Results for partial decay widths, branching ratios and the polarization ratios $Γ_{L}/Γ_{T}$s are given. We find that most branching ratios for the semi-leptonic decays induced by the $c\to d,s$ transitions are at the order of $10^{-3}\sim10^{-2}$, which might be useful for the search of other doubly-heavy baryons. Uncertainties in form factors, the flavor SU(3) symmetry and sources of symmetry breaking effects are discussed. We find that the SU(3) symmetry breaking effects could be sizable in charmed baryon decays while in the bottomed case, the SU(3) symmetry breaking effects are less significant. Our results can be examined at the experimental facilities in the future.

Subjects: Linguistics, Pharmaceutical, Veins, Deviant, Cognisance, etc.

description: This paper assesses the language use of science and laboratory technology and pharmaceutical students of federal polytechnic, mubi Adamawa State. The theoretical framework underpinning the research is error analysis (EA), a theory of second language acquisition (SLA) which is concerned with the identification, description, and explanation of language learner’s error in either the spoken or written form. 4 randomly selected ND II students from each of the two departments during the 2021/2022 academic session wrote SIWES report on their industrial training (IT) programme. The technical reports were marked for error identification. The identified error were marked as thus: Verb, Spelling, wrongs words, Nouns, Punctuation/Capitalization, Pronouns, articles, abbreviation/Coinages and prepositions. Descriptive/Statistics involving of measure of central tendency (percentage and means scores) were use to analyze the data collected. Based on Ellis and Barkhurzen’s (2005) surface structure taxonomy of error categorization, most of the errors can be categorized into those of omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. Following form the underlying assumption of (EA) as it relates to error in second language learning, the identified error can be said to have been the result of overgeneralization of rules, interference from the mother tongue, extra lingual factors such as textbooks and inadequate learning. Its recommended that giving an enabling environment, functional teaching of English should be encouraged to improve the communicative competence of the learners.

This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. People often assume that moral and religious convictions are functionally the same thing. But are they? We report on 19 studies (N = 12,284) that tested whether people’s perceptions that their attitudes are reflections of their moral and religious convictions across 30 different issues were functionally the same (the equivalence hypothesis) or different constructs (the distinct constructs hypothesis), and whether the relationship between these constructs was conditional on political orientation (the political asymmetry hypothesis). Seven of these studies (N = 5,561, and 22 issues) also had data that allowed us to test whether moral and religious conviction are only closely related for those who are more rather than less religious (the secularization hypothesis), and a narrower form of the political asymmetry and secularization hypotheses, that is, that people’s moral and religious convictions may be tightly connected constructs only for religious conservatives. Meta-analytic tests of each of these hypotheses yielded weak support for the secularization hypothesis, no support for the equivalence or political asymmetry hypotheses, and the strongest support for the distinct constructs hypothesis.

description: We determine for the first time the magnetic dipole moment of a short-lived nucleus with part-per-million (ppm) accuracy. To achieve this two orders of magnitude improvement over previous studies, we implement a number of innovations into our $β$-detected Nuclear Magnetic Resonance ($β$-NMR) setup at ISOLDE/CERN. Using liquid samples as hosts we obtain narrow, sub-kHz linewidth, resonances, while a simultaneous in-situ $^1$H NMR measurement allows us to calibrate and stabilize the magnetic field to ppm precision, thus eliminating the need for additional $β$-NMR reference measurements. Furthermore, we use ab initio calculations of NMR shielding constants to improve the accuracy of the reference magnetic moment, thus removing a large systematic error. We demonstrate the potential of this combined approach with the 1.1 s half-life radioactive nucleus $^{26}$Na, which is relevant for biochemical studies. Our technique can be readily extended to other isotopic chains, providing accurate magnetic moments for many short-lived nuclei. Furthermore, we discuss how our approach can open the path towards a wide range of applications of the ultra-sensitive $β$-NMR in physics, chemistry, and biology.

description: We implement the cellular automata model proposed by Stauffer and Weisbuch in 1992 to describe the response of the immune system to antigens in the presence of medications. The model contains two thresholds, $θ_1$ and $θ_2$, suggested by de Boer, Segel, and Perelson to present the minimum field needed to stimulate the proliferation of the receptors and to suppress it, respectively. The influence of the drug is mimicked by increasing the second threshold, thus enhancing the immune response. If this increase is too strong, the immune response is triggered in the whole immune repertoire, causing it to attack the own body. This effect is seen in our simulations to depend both on the ratio of the thresholds and on their absolute values.

description: The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 directed the U.S. Department of Agriculture to conduct a 1-year study to assess the extent of areas with limited access to affordable and nutritious food, identify characteristics and causes of such areas, consider how limited access affects local populations, and outline recommendations to address the problem. This report presents the fi ndings of the study, which include results from two conferences of national and international authorities on food deserts and a set of commissioned research studies done in cooperation with the National Poverty Center at the University of Michigan. It also includes reviews of existing literature, a national-level assessment of access to supermarkets and large grocery stores, analysis of the economic and public health effects of limited access, and a discussion of existing policy interventions. The study uses a variety of analytical methods and data to assess the extent of limited access to affordable and nutritious food and characteristics of areas with limited access. Overall, findings show that a small percentage of consumers are constrained in their ability to access affordable nutritious food because they live far from a supermarket or large grocery store and do not have easy access to transportation. Urban core areas with limited food access are characterized by higher levels of racial segregation and greater income inequality. In small-town and rural areas with limited food access, the lack of transportation infrastructure is the most defining characteristic. Existing data and research are insufficient to conclusively determine whether areas with limited access have inadequate access.

description: Recently it has been argued that the transverse momentum dependent twist-2 Sivers distribution function does not vanish in QCD. Therefore both, the Collins and Sivers effects, should be considered in order to explain the azimuthal single spin asymmetries A(UL) in pion production in semi-inclusive deeply inelastic lepton scattering of a longitudinally polarized target. On the basis of presently available phenomenological information on the Sivers function we estimate that for those asymmetries A(UL) in the kinematic region of the HERMES experiments the Sivers effect can be neglected with respect to the Collins effect. It is argued that the same feature holds also for the COMPASS and CLAS experiments. This justifies theoretical approaches to understand the HERMES data on the basis of the Collins effect only.

The paradox of youth for ALMA planet candidates

description: Recent ALMA observations indicate that the majority of bright protoplanetary discs show signatures of young moderately massive planets. I show that this result is paradoxical. The planets should evolve away from their observed states by radial migration and gas accretion in about 1\% of the system age. These systems should then hatch tens of giant planets in their lifetime, and there should exist a very large population of bright planet-less discs; none of this is observationally supported. An alternative scenario, in which the population of bright ALMA discs is dominated by secondary discs recently rejuvenated by deposition of new gas, is proposed. The data are well explained if the gaseous mass of the discs is comparable to a Jovian planet mass, and they last a small fraction of a Million years. Self-disruptions of dusty gas giant protoplanets, previously predicted in the context of the Tidal Downsizing theory of planet formation, provide a suitable mechanism for such injections of new fuel, and yield disc and planet properties commensurate with ALMA observations. If this scenario is correct, then the secondary discs have gas-to-dust ratios considerably smaller than 100, and long look ALMA and NIR/optical observations of dimmer targets should uncover dusty, not yet disrupted, gas clumps with sizes of order an AU. Alternatively, secondary discs could originate from late external deposition of gas into the system, in which case we expect widespread signatures of warped outer discs that have not yet come into alignment with the planets.

description: We prove the stability of the critical hypersurfaces associated with the three-dimensional general relativistic Poynting-Robertson effect. The equatorial ring configures to be as a stable attractor and the whole critical hypersurface as a basin of attraction for this dynamical system. We introduce a new, simpler (in terms of calculations), and more physical approach within the Lyapunov theory. We propose three different Lyapunov functions, each one carrying important information and very useful for understanding such phenomenon under different aspects.

description: Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are key to local economic development, occupying a worth mentioning function in job creation, poverty alleviation and economic growth, but they run into numerous entrepreneurial hurdles. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of entrepreneurial training, risk-taking and innovativeness on SMEs development in Nigeria, with specific reference to Abuja Federal Capital Territory. The study employed a quantitative approach. All items of the questionnaire were measured using a 5 point Likert scale. Data were collected from SME owners operating within Abuja Federal Capital Territory. A sample size of 339 was drawn from a population of 2825 SME operators. However, a response rate of 43 percent valid questionnaires was retrieved from the respondents. This research supported the positive effects of entrepreneurial training and innovativeness on SME development. In terms of contribution, entrepreneurial training contributed 49.1 percent while innovativeness contributed 20.1 percent to the model. In addition, risk-taking has an insignificant small negative relationship with SME development in the study context. The study, therefore, recommends that entrepreneurial training should be taken seriously by SMEs operators as the business world experience is much more than an academic exercise. Similarly, SMEs should find a way to innovate if they must survive the harsh and competitive business environment. Finally, the study recommends that the business owner should avoid uncalculated risk, as not all risks are worth taking. The experiential results are pertinent to policymakers in order to arouse, buoy up and provide support for SMEs' development through their policies.

description: The presence of new cafes and restaurants over the last three years in the city have been emerging. These cafes and restaurants do not only serve food or drink but also provide the facility to hang-out, play and study, which are a new phenomenon. This research aims to discover the reason why so many students fulfill these cafes and restaurants. The research conducted to a hundred and eighty-eight students in Bandung city, West Java. Nowadays, the students as consumers are getting voters to choose a place to study, besides in school or campus. This is a qualitative research which done by several observation and interviews. Seven new cafes and restaurants were chosen as research objects. The criteria specified in selecting consumers as informants is the frequency of attendance on the selected cafes and restaurants at least two times a week. A new culture in learning behavior was found. The findings and interpretation show that millennials students prefer to choose café or restaurants as a place for learning while they're eating. They do not want to study in campus or library due to a tedious atmosphere and stressful around campus according to students' opinions. A new definition of "space" (informal space) as a place for learning is found. The café caters to the imagery of erudite, cosmopolitan, and up-to-date youths, all of which are appealing. As a conceptualized space the humble café has transcended beyond its calling as a pit stop and has been reborn as an expression of academic life, combining knowledge production and mood booster, serious knowledge, and playfulness. The illustrious café, make no mistake is the representative space of choice for millennial (Z generation) scholars. This research and experiment were carried out in certain areas in West Java. similar research is needed in other cities or other countries. Besides, it is necessary to explore further what factors change millennial students learning behavior, whether only because of a more relaxed atmosphere or other factors. Implications: Similar experiments need to be applied to bring students outside the classroom to get a new atmosphere, mood booster and their participation in class, for other courses in college.
