description: We consider the Continuous Energy-Constrained Scheduling Problem (CECSP). A set of jobs has to be processed on a continuous, shared resource. A schedule for a job consists of a start time, completion time, and a resource consumption profile. We want to find a schedule such that: each job does not start before its release time, is completed before its deadline, satisfies its full resource requirement, and respects its lower and upper bounds on resource consumption during processing. Our objective is to minimize the total weighted completion time. We present a hybrid local search approach, using simulated annealing and linear programming, and compare it to a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulation. We show that the hybrid local search approach matches the MILP formulation in solution quality for small instances, and is able to find a feasible solution for larger instances in reasonable time.

description: Motivated by the cubic forms and anomaly cancellation formulas of Witten-Freed-Hopkins, we give some new cubic forms on spin, spin$^c$, spin$^{w_2}$ and orientable 12-manifolds respectively. We relate them to $η$-invariants when the manifolds are with boundary, and mod 2 indices on 10 dimensional characteristic submanifolds when the manifolds are spin$^c$ or spin$^{w_2}$. Our method of producing these cubic forms is a combination of (generalized) Witten classes and the character of the basic representation of affine $E_8$.

description: We combine ideas of Scott and Swarup on good position for almost invariant subsets of a group with ideas of Sageev on constructing cubings from such sets. We construct cubings which are more canonical than in Sageev's original construction. We also show that almost invariant sets can be chosen to be in very good position.

description: We present a Chandra observation of the merging cluster of galaxies Abell 2744. The cluster shows strong evidence for an ongoing major merger which we believe to be responsible for the radio halo. X-ray emission and temperature maps of the cluster, combined with the spatial and redshift distribution of the galaxies, indicate a roughly north-south axis for the merger, with a significant velocity component along the line of sight. The merger is occurring at a very large velocity, with M = 2-3. In addition, there is a small merging subcluster toward the northwest, unrelated to the major merger, which shows evidence of a bow shock. A hydrodynamical analysis of the subcluster indicates a merger velocity corresponding to a Mach number of ~1.2, consistent with a simple infall model. This infalling subcluster may also be re-exciting electrons in the radio halo. Its small Mach number lends support to turbulent reacceleration models for radio halo formation.

description: We consider the non-radiative two body decay of a neutrino to a daughter neutrino with degraded energy and a very light particle (Majoron). Ultrahigh energy neutrinos from an astrophysical source like a Gamma Ray Burst undergoing this decay process are found to produce different number of events in the detector depending on whether they are Majorana or Dirac particles. The next generation large scale experiments like Multi-OWL is expected to provide us an accurate determination of the flux of neutrinos from astrophysical sources and this may enable us to distinguish between the Dirac and Majorana nature of neutrino.

description: Motivation: Alignment-free distance and similarity functions (AF functions, for short) are a well established alternative to two and multiple sequence alignments for many genomic, metagenomic and epigenomic tasks. Due to data-intensive applications, the computation of AF functions is a Big Data problem, with the recent Literature indicating that the development of fast and scalable algorithms computing AF functions is a high-priority task. Somewhat surprisingly, despite the increasing popularity of Big Data technologies in Computational Biology, the development of a Big Data platform for those tasks has not been pursued, possibly due to its complexity. Results: We fill this important gap by introducing FADE, the first extensible, efficient and scalable Spark platform for Alignment-free genomic analysis. It supports natively eighteen of the best performing AF functions coming out of a recent hallmark benchmarking study. FADE development and potential impact comprises novel aspects of interest. Namely, (a) a considerable effort of distributed algorithms, the most tangible result being a much faster execution time of reference methods like MASH and FSWM; (b) a software design that makes FADE user-friendly and easily extendable by Spark non-specialists; (c) its ability to support data- and compute-intensive tasks. About this, we provide a novel and much needed analysis of how informative and robust AF functions are, in terms of the statistical significance of their output. Our findings naturally extend the ones of the highly regarded benchmarking study, since the functions that can really be used are reduced to a handful of the eighteen included in FADE.

Eta Carinae's Brightness Variations Since 1998: HST Observations of the Central Star

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We have measured the brightness variations in Eta Carinae for the past six years using the Hubble Space Telescope Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and Advanced Camera for Surveys. Unlike ground-based data, observations by the HST allow direct measurement of the brightness of the central star by resolving it from the surrounding bright ejecta. We find interesting behavior during 2003 in the continuum and H$α$ emission. The data show that the established long term brightening trend of Eta Car continues, including regular events which coincide with the 5.5 year spectroscopic cycle and other more rapid and unexpected variations. In addition to the HST data, we also present ground-based data obtained from the AAVSO which show many of the same features. The dip in the apparent brightness of the central star at the time of the 2003.5 event is wavelength dependent with no decrease in the continuum. These observations cast doubt on asimple eclipse or occultation as the explanation for the dip and place constraints on the models for the event.

description: Sonification research is intrinsically interdisciplinary. Consequently, a proper documentation of, and interdisciplinary discourse about a sonification is often hindered by terminology discrepancies between involved disciplines, i.e., the lack of a common sound terminology in sonification research. Without a common ground, a researcher from one discipline may have troubles understanding the implementation and imagining the resulting sound perception of a sonification, if the sonification is described by a researcher from another discipline. To find a common ground, I consulted literature on interdisciplinary research and discourse, identified problems that occur in sonification, and applied the recommended solutions. As a result, I recommend considering three aspects of sonification individually, namely 1.) Sound Design Concept, 2.) Objective and 3.) Method, clarifying which discipline is involved in which aspect, and sticking to this discipline's terminology. As two requirements of sonifications are that they are a) reproducible and b) interpretable, I recommend documenting and discussing every sonification design once using audio engineering terminology, and once using psychoacoustic terminology. The appendix provides comprehensive lists of sound terms from both disciplines, together with relevant literature and a clarification of often misunderstood and misused terms.

It is shown that the 10 global constants form a complete set by expressing them in terms of two commuting spinors and the Dirac gamma matrices. The spinor components are the globally constant holonomy parameters, and their respective spinor norms are their quantum commutators.

The contribution of O(alpha) radiative corrections to the renormalised anisotropy and application to general tadpole improvement schemes: addendum to "One loop calculation of the renormalised anisotropy for improved anisotropic gluon actions on a lattice" [hep-lat/0208010]

description: General O(alpha) radiative corrections to lattice actions may be interpreted as counterterms that give additive contributions to the one-loop renormalisation of the anisotropy. The effect of changing the radiative coefficients is thus easily calculable. In particular, the results obtained in a previous paper for Landau mean link improved actions apply in any tadpole improvement scheme. We explain how this method can be exploited when tuning radiatively improved actions. Efficient methods for self-consistently tuning tadpole improvement factors are also discussed.

Subjects: Health Care

description: AbstractChronic diseases and multimorbidity are becoming an alarming public health problem of this century. Multimorbidity is defined as “having two or more chronic diseases at one time in a person” and a result of complex biological, psychological and social phenomenon. The risks of multimorbidity can be divided into modifiable (behavioral factors) and non-modifiable (age, genetics) factors. Socioeconomic disadvantage and environmental factors can also influence on causation of it. Strategies aligned with primary, secondary and tertiary stages of prevention can help in the prevention of multimorbidity and reduction in complications among diseased. Multimorbidity requires multidimensional programs implemented through multiple stakeholder and policymaker’s collaboration.

Higgs portal to dark matter and $B\to K^{(*)}$ decays

Year: 2020

description: We consider a Higgs portal model in which the 125-GeV Higgs boson mixes with a light singlet mediator $h_2$ coupling to particles of a Dark Sector and study potential $b\to s h_2$ decays in the Belle II experiment. Multiplying the gauge-dependent off-shell Standard-Model $b$-$s$-Higgs vertex with the sine of the Higgs mixing angle does not give the correct $b$-$s$-$h_2$ vertex. We clarify this issue by calculating the $b$-$s$-$h_2$ vertex in an arbitrary $R_ξ$ gauge and demonstrate how the $ξ$ dependence cancels from physical decay rates involving an on-shell or off-shell $h_2$. Then we revisit the $b\to s h_2$ phenomenology and point out that a simultaneous study of $B\to K^* h_2$ and $B\to K h_2$ helps to discriminate between the Higgs portal and alternative models of the Dark Sector. We further advocate for the use of the $h_2$ lifetime information contained in displaced-vertex data with $h_2$ decaying back to Standard-Model particles to better constrain the $h_2$ mass or to reveal additional $h_2$ decay modes into long-lived particles.

description: The ability to identify important objects in a complex and dynamic driving environment is essential for autonomous driving agents to make safe and efficient driving decisions. It also helps assistive driving systems decide when to alert drivers. We tackle object importance estimation in a data-driven fashion and introduce HOIST - Human-annotated Object Importance in Simulated Traffic. HOIST contains driving scenarios with human-annotated importance labels for vehicles and pedestrians. We additionally propose a novel approach that relies on counterfactual reasoning to estimate an object's importance. We generate counterfactual scenarios by modifying the motion of objects and ascribe importance based on how the modifications affect the ego vehicle's driving. Our approach outperforms strong baselines for the task of object importance estimation on HOIST. We also perform ablation studies to justify our design choices and show the significance of the different components of our proposed approach.

description: We connect two alternative concepts of solving integrable models, Baxter's method of auxiliary matrices (or Q-operators) and the algebraic Bethe ansatz. The main steps of the calculation are performed in a general setting and a formula for the Bethe eigenvalues of the Q-operator is derived. A proof is given for states which contain up to three Bethe roots. Further evidence is provided by relating the findings to the six-vertex fusion hierarchy. For the XXZ spin-chain we analyze the cases when the deformation parameter of the underlying quantum group is evaluated both at and away from a root of unity.

description: Genus Dysmicoccus Ferris, 1950
 Diagnosis (adopted and slightly modified from Williams 2004). Body of adult female elongate to broadly oval. Anal lobes usually developed, either membranous or sclerotised, each lobe bearing a normal apical seta. Ventral margins of abdominal segments anterior to anal lobes always membranous. Antennae each with 6–8 segments. Legs well developed; translucent pores present or absent; tarsal digitules usually knobbed. Claw without a denticle. Cerarii numbering 6–17 pairs. Auxiliary setae present, at least in anal lobe cerarii. Anal lobe cerarii each bearing either 2 cerarian setae or as many as 8, these usually conical; sometimes conical setae replaced by flagellate setae but cerarii always recognisable by concentrations of trilocular pores. Anal ring normally situated at apex of abdomen, usually bearing 6 setae. Anterior and posterior ostioles present. Dorsal setae variously shaped. Ventral setae flagellate. Trilocular pores present on both dorsal and ventral surface. Multilocular pores usually present, at least on venter. Quinquelocular pores always absent. Oral collar tubular ducts usually present. Oral rim tubular ducts always absent. Discoidal pores present, sometimes large, occasionally present next to each eye.
 Remarks. The molecular phylogenetic study on mealybugs conducted by Downie & Gullan (2004) showed that the genus Dysmicoccus is probably not a simple monophletic group but forms a large single clade with several other genera, such as Pseudococcus Westwood, 1840 and Trionymus Berg, 1899, so the current definition of the genus is probably arbitrary (see below). Further molecular and morphological studies on this genus are greatly needed.

description: We derive a general formula of the tensor network representation for $d$-dimensional lattice fermions with ultra-local interactions, including Wilson fermions, staggered fermions, and domain-wall fermions. The Grassmann tensor is concretely defined with auxiliary Grassmann variables that play a role in bond degrees of freedom. Compared to previous works, our formula does not refer to the details of lattice fermions and is derived by using the singular value decomposition for the given Dirac matrix without any ad-hoc treatment for each fermion. We numerically test our formula for free Wilson and staggered fermions and find that it properly works for them. We also find that Wilson fermions show better performance than staggered fermions in the tensor renormalization group approach, unlike the Monte Carlo method.

Resumo.

O sistema MELD está sedimentado no Brasil. O aumento do MELD para alocação, a influência de diferentes etiologias e o desequilíbrio na lista, secundários à concessão de situações especiais têm suscitado discussões para modernização do sistema. No Brasil, cada estado é responsável pela organização da captação de órgãos, resultando em um sistema heterogêneo. Objetivo: Análise do tempo de espera e MELD necessário para transplante, o impacto das diferentes etiologias e concessão de situações especiais no âmbito do estado do Paraná. Método: Análise de 1248 transplantes de fígado adulto entre 2010 e 2018, estratificados conforme a etiologia, MELD e tempo de espera. Resultados: Idade de 52±11,4 anos. Tempo de espera em lista de 112±197 dias. 83,78% dos casos transplantaram em período inferior a seis meses. Situações especiais foram concedidas em 8,25% (n=103) dos casos; não houve diferença significativa no tempo de espera em lista no grupo com (110±107) e sem (112±197) situação especial. MELD do transplante (19,69±7,86), MELD corrigido (22,24±6,42). Apesar de diferente entre grupos de etiologia, o MELD não apresentou padrão de crescimento com o passar do tempo. A etiologia álcool (27,08%) e infecções virais (23,56%) foram as mais frequentes. 29,75% dos transplantes foram realizados com MELD acima de 75%; não houve modificação das etiologias mais comuns nesse subgrupo. A oferta de órgãos cresceu de 8,9 pmp (2010) para 47,7 pmp (2017). Conclusão: O impacto do progressivo aumento do MELD e tempo de espera em lista, secundários à concessão de situações especiais não são observados na lista de espera no estado do Paraná. Essa discrepância provavelmente é secundária ao contínuo crescimento, de maneira quase paralela ao número de doadores e transplantes realizados.

description: Purpose - As national legislation, federated national services, institutional policies and institutional research service arrangements may differ, data stewardship programs may be organized differently in higher education institutions across the world. This work seeks to elaborate the picture of different data stewardship programs running in different institutional and national research environments. Design/methodology/approach - Utilizing a case study design, this study described three distinct data stewardship programs from Purdue University (United States), Delft Technical University (Netherlands) and Aalto University (Finland). In addition, this work investigated the institutional and national research environments of the programs. The focus was on initiatives led by academic libraries or similar services.Findings - This work demonstrates that data stewardship programs may be organized differently within varying national and institutional contexts. The data stewardship programs varied in terms of roles, organization and funding structures. Furthermore, policies and legislation, organizational structures, and national infrastructures differed. Originality - This work broadens the current literature on data stewardship by not only providing detailed descriptions of three distinct data stewardship programs, but also highlighting how research environments may affect their organization. We present a summary of key factors in the organization of data stewardship programs. Research limitations/implications - The data stewardship programs and their contexts develop, and the descriptions presented in this work should be considered as snapshots.

description: BACKGROUND: Imaging tests are one of the most frequently used diagnostic modalities in healthcare, but the benefits of their direct impacts on clinical decision-making have been countered by concerns that they can be overused. Assessing the relative value of imaging tests has largely focused on measures of test accuracy, which overlooks more comprehensive benefits and risks of imaging tests, particularly their impact on patient-centred outcomes (PCOs). We present the findings of the Patient Reported Outcomes of Diagnostics (PROD) research study in response to a methodological gap in the area of diagnostic test comparative effectiveness research. METHODS: Over a 3-year period, the PROD Study engaged with multiple stakeholders to identify existing conceptual models related to PCOs for imaging testing, conducted primary research and evidence synthesis, and developed consensus recommendations to describe and categorise PCOs related to imaging testing. RESULTS: The PROD framework categorises PCOs from imaging studies within four main domains: information or knowledge yielded, physical impact, emotional outcomes and test burden. PCOs interact with each other and influence effects across domains, and can be modified by factors related to the patient, clinical situation, healthcare team and the testing environment. CONCLUSIONS: Using PCOs to inform healthcare decision-making will require ways of collating and presenting information on PCOs in ways that can inform patient-provider decision-making, and developing methods to determine the relative importance of outcomes (including test accuracy) to one another.

description: In the realm of statistical physics, the number of states in which a system can be realized with a given energy is a key concept that bridges the microscopic and macroscopic descriptions of physical systems. For quantum systems, many approaches rely on the solution of the Schrödinger equation. In this work, we demonstrate how the recently developed rodeo algorithm can be utilized to determine the number of states associated with all energy levels without any prior knowledge of the eigenstates. Quantum computers, with their innate ability to address the intricacies of quantum systems, make this approach particularly promising for the study of the thermodynamics of those systems. To illustrate the procedure's effectiveness, we apply it to compute the number of states of the 1D transverse-field Ising model and, consequently, its specific heat, proving the reliability of the method presented here.

description: We establish exact sequences in $KK$-theory for graded relative Cuntz-Pimsner algebras associated to nondegenerate $C^*$-correspondences. We use this to calculate the graded $K$-theory and $K$-homology of relative Cuntz-Krieger algebras of directed graphs for gradings induced by $\{0,1\}$-valued labellings of their edge sets.

description: The Randall-Sundrum two-brane model admits the flat-brane Lorentz-invariant vacuum solution only if the branes have exactly opposite tensions. We pay attention to this condition and propose a generalization of this model in which two branes are described by actions of the same form and with the same matter content but {\em with opposite signs}. In this way, the relation between their tensions (which are their vacuum energy densities) is naturally accounted for. We study a simple example of such a model in detail. It represents the Randall-Sundrum model supplemented by the Einstein scalar-curvature terms in the actions for the branes. We show that this model is tachyon-free for sufficiently large negative values of the brane cosmological constant, that gravitational forces on the branes are of opposite signs, and that physically most reasonable model of this type is the one where the five-dimensional gravity is localized around the visible brane. The massive gravitational modes in this model have ghost-like character, and we discuss the significance of this fact for the quantum instability of the vacuum on the visible brane.

description: Trabalho publicado no Jornal Brasileiro de Transplantes. JBT J Bras Transpl. 2020;23(4):1-119
Introdução: Disparidades geográficas, quantidade e qualidade dos órgãos podem resultar em diferentes padrões de aceite de fígados entre equipes transplantadoras. Objetivo: Determinar o padrão de qualidade do órgão no transplante hepático cadavérico, de acordo com a região da oferta e o status clínico do receptor. Métodos: Utilizamos a variação do índice de risco do doador (DRI), por OPO ofertante no estado do Paraná (Curitiba, Maringá, Londrina e Cascavel) e da OPO Nacional. A amostra incluiu todos os adultos submetidos a transplante hepático de doador falecido entre novembro de 2015 e fevereiro de 2019 (n=135), em um único centro. Resultados: O DRI médio dos pacientes foi de 1,37 (intervalo interquartil [IIQ] 1,09-1,59). O DRI médio por OPO ofertante variou de 1,26 a 1,76 (p<0,05). O DRI médio (1,76) dos órgãos ofertados pela OPO Nacional excedeu o IIQ do DRI das demais OPO. Não houve diferença na idade (média 50,4±11,54) e SOFA (média 9,78±2,14). Tempo de isquemia fria da OPO nacional (496±74,58 min) foi significativamente maior, porém não excedeu 75% das demais OPO. Receptores de órgãos ofertados pela OPO Nacional possuíam MELD significativamente mais baixos (18±4,78). Foi observada correlação linear positiva entre o MELD do receptor e DRI, sem atingir significância estatística. Conclusões: O DRI médio e sua amplitude interquartil dos órgãos aceitos para transplante em nosso serviço é semelhante aos dos órgãos transplantados nos EUA, Europa e Brasil. Pacientes com MELD significativamente mais baixos receberam órgãos com maior DRI.
Stellar wind effects on the atmospheres of close-in giants: a possible reduction in escape instead of increased erosion

description: The atmospheres of highly irradiated exoplanets are observed to undergo hydrodynamic escape. However, due to strong pressures, stellar winds can confine planetary atmospheres, reducing their escape. Here, we investigate under which conditions atmospheric escape of close-in giants could be confined by the large pressure of their host star's winds. For that, we simulate escape in planets at a range of orbital distances ([0.04, 0.14] au), planetary gravities ([36%, 87%] of Jupiter's gravity), and ages ([1, 6.9] Gyr). For each of these simulations, we calculate the ram pressure of these escaping atmospheres and compare them to the expected stellar wind external pressure to determine whether a given atmosphere is confined or not. We show that, although younger close-in giants should experience higher levels of atmospheric escape, due to higher stellar irradiation, stellar winds are also stronger at young ages, potentially reducing escape of young exoplanets. Regardless of the age, we also find that there is always a region in our parameter space where atmospheric escape is confined, preferably occurring at higher planetary gravities and orbital distances. We investigate confinement of some known exoplanets and find that the atmosphere of several of them, including pi Men c, should be confined by the winds of their host stars, thus potentially preventing escape in highly irradiated planets. Thus, the lack of hydrogen escape recently reported for pi Men c could be caused by the stellar wind.

title: The Impact Of Faculty Appraisal At Tertiary Level: Two Exploratory Case Studies
Creators: name: Mercer, Justine Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2004

description: This thesis investigates the impact of faculty appraisal at Rihab University and Al Fanar College, two federal Higher Education institutions in the same Middle Eastern country. It uses a case study approach intended to generate grounded theory from 38 semi-structured interviews, with appraisers and appraisees, alongside documentary analysis, participant observation and researcher reflection. The aim of the research is to determine firstly, how far each particular appraisal system is reported to embody paradigms (meaning goals and values, key assumptions, and management ethos) of professionalism and / or managerialism, and secondly, how far each particular system is said by informants to be appropriate to an educational context. On a more general level, it also looks at the extent to which changes in HE management in 'the West', principally, the United Kingdom, North America, Australia and New Zealand, find resonance in a Middle Eastern context, where HE institutions are staffed predominantly by people from those same Western countries, but are subject to quite different employment laws and practices. It concludes that although appraisers and appraisees both report a need for appraisal in educational contexts, there is little, if any, correlation between faculty appraisal and improved teaching or learning, most probably because feedback from the process is almost exclusively numerical, and very much oriented towards maintaining minimum standards of technical competency, rather than facilitating individualized, flexible and creative professional development. It suggests that such a state of affairs is not inherent in any appraisal system, per se, but is rather a function of the more general micro-political climate of any particular organisation. That is to say, any appraisal system simultaneously reflects and reinforces the underlying management structures and ethos of an institution. In the case of both Rihab and Al Fanar, these structures were said to be considerably more authoritarian than would normally be expected in Western countries, for a variety of reasons, including an acute lack of trade unions, tenure, industrial tribunals and legal safeguards. It therefore seems reasonable to conclude that the considerable antipathy many appraisees displayed towards the appraisal systems at Rihab and Al Fanar was more the result of these contextual factors than the particular procedures adopted by each institution. In other words, evaluative appraisal was not seen as automatically undermining pedagogy or professionalism, a very common complaint in much of the previous literature. Instead, it was seen as offering a potentially useful strategy for enhancing educational practices, but only in contexts where employees are protected from the misuse of management power by a variety of legal constraints.

description: Transport experiments in twisted bilayer graphene revealed multiple superconducting domes separated by correlated insulating states. These properties are generally associated with strongly correlated states in a flat mini-band of the hexagonal moiré superlattice as it was predicted by band structure calculations. Evidence for such a flat band comes from local tunneling spectroscopy and electronic compressibility measurements, reporting two or more sharp peaks in the density of states that may be associated with closely spaced van Hove singularities. Direct momentum resolved measurements proved difficult though. Here, we combine different imaging techniques and angle resolved photoemission with simultaneous real and momentum space resolution (nano-ARPES) to directly map the band dispersion in twisted bilayer graphene devices near charge neutrality. Our experiments reveal large areas with homogeneous twist angle that support a flat band with spectral weight that is highly localized in momentum space. The flat band is separated from the dispersive Dirac bands which show multiple moiré hybridization gaps. These data establish the salient features of the twisted bilayer graphene band structure.

description: A necessary and sufficient condition for energy-momentum conservation is proved within a topological, pre-metric approach to classical electrodynamics including magnetic as well as electric charges. The extended Lorentz force, consisting of mutual actions by F=(E, B) on the electric current and G=(H, D) on the magnetic current, can be derived from an energy-momentum "potential" if and only if the constitutive relation G=G(F) satisfies a certain vanishing condition. The electric-magnetic reciprocity introduced by Hehl and Obukhov is seen to define a complex structure on the tensor product of 2-form pairs (F,G) which is independent of but consistent with the Hodge star operator defined by any Lorentzian metric. Contrary to a recent claim in the literature, it does not define a complex structure on the space of 2-forms itself.

description: The virtual two-loop corrections for Higgs production in gluon fusion are calculated analytically in QCD for arbitrary Higgs and quark masses. Both scalar and pseudo-scalar Higgs bosons are considered. The results are obtained by expanding the known one-dimensional integral representation in terms of m_H/m_q, and matching it with a suitably chosen ansatz of Harmonic Polylogarithms. This ansatz is motivated by the known analytic result for the Higgs decay rate into two photons. The method also allows us to check this result and to extend it to the pseudo-scalar decay rate.
