description: The unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix has been well established by both direct and indirect measurements without any evidence of discrepancy. The CKM weak phase $α$ is directly measured using an isospin analysis in $B\rightarrow ππ$ and $B\to ρρ$ assuming that electroweak penguin contributions are ignorable. However, electroweak penguins are sensitive to NP, hence, it is important to experimentally estimate their effects. We determine the size of both electroweak penguin and isospin amplitudes, directly from $B\rightarrow ππ$ and $B\to ρρ$ experimental data, using in addition the indirectly measured value of $α$. We find that electroweak penguin contribution are indeed small and agree with SM expectations within $1σ$. We also find that there is a mild enhancement of the $ΔI=\tfrac{1}{2}$ transition amplitude.

description: With the advent of consumer-grade products for presenting an immersive virtual environment (VE), there is a growing interest in utilizing VEs for testing human navigation behavior. However, preparing a VE still requires a high level of technical expertise in computer graphics and virtual reality, posing a significant hurdle to embracing the emerging technology. To address this issue, this paper presents Delayed Feedback based Immersive Navigation Environment (DeFINE), a framework that allows for easy creation and administration of navigation tasks within customizable VEs via intuitive graphical user interfaces and simple settings files. Importantly, DeFINE has a built-in capability to provide performance feedback to participants during an experiment, a feature that is critically missing in other similar frameworks. To show the usability of DeFINE from both experimentalists' and participants' perspectives, a demonstration was made in which participants navigated to a hidden goal location with feedback that differentially weighted speed and accuracy of their responses. In addition, the participants evaluated DeFINE in terms of its ease of use, required workload, and proneness to induce cybersickness. The demonstration exemplified typical experimental manipulations DeFINE accommodates and what types of data it can collect for characterizing participants' task performance. With its out-of-the-box functionality and potential customizability due to open-source licensing, DeFINE makes VEs more accessible to many researchers.

description: In papers by Lynch [Phys. Rev. A41, 2841 (1990)] and Gerry and Urbanski [Phys. Rev. A42, 662 (1990)] it has been argued that the phase-fluctuation laser experiments of Gerhardt, Büchler and Lifkin [Phys. Lett. 49A, 119 (1974)] are in good agreement with the variance of the Pegg-Barnett phase operator for a coherent state, even for a small number of photons. We argue that this is not conclusive. In fact, we show that the variance of the phase in fact depends on the relative phase between the phase of the coherent state and the off-set phase $ϕ_0$ of the Pegg-Barnett phase operator. This off-set phase is replaced with the phase of a reference beam in an actual experiment and we show that several choices of such a relative phase can be fitted to the experimental data. We also discuss the Noh, Fougères and Mandel [Phys.Rev. A46, 2840 (1992)] relative phase experiment in terms of the Pegg-Barnett phase taking post-selection conditions into account.

description: Ultra-steep spectrum (USS) radio sources with complex filamentary morphologies are a poorly understood subclass of diffuse radio source found in galaxy clusters. They are characterised by power law spectra with spectral indices less than -1.5, and are typically located in merging clusters. We present X-ray and radio observations of the galaxy cluster A272, containing a USS diffuse radio source. The system is an ongoing major cluster merger with an extended region of bright X-ray emission south of the core. Surface brightness analysis yields a $3σ$ detection of a merger shock front in this region. We obtain shock Mach numbers $M_ρ= 1.20 \pm 0.09$ and $M_T = 1.7 \pm 0.3$ from the density and temperature jumps, respectively. Optical data reveals that the system is a merger between a northern cool core cluster and a southern non-cool core cluster. We find that the USS source, with spectral index $α^{\text{74 MHz}}_{\text{1.4 GHz}} = -1.9 \pm 0.1$, is located in the bright southern region. Radio observations show that the source has a double-lobed structure with complex filaments, and is centred on the brightest cluster galaxy of the southern subcluster. We provide two suggestions for the origin of this source; the first posits the source as an AGN relic that has been re-energised by the passing of a merger shock front, while the second interprets the complex structure as the result of two overlapping AGN radio outbursts. We also present constraints on the inverse Compton emission at the location of the source.

(Panz) diaperinus and rice weevil, S. (L.) oryzae. Leaf and seed extracts of botanicals were prepared by using acetone, ethanol and water as,solvents. The Results showed that all the extracts of test plants had toxic effect on both the insects. The dholkalmi bark extract was toxic for lesser mealworm (mortality, 47.92%) and dholkalmi leaf extract was found to be the most toxic for rice weevil (mortality, 44.89%). Ethanol extract showed highest toxic effect followed by acetone and water extracts. Effectiveness of all the plant extracts increased proportionally with the increase of doses and decreased proportionally with the increase of time. The seed/bark extract was more effective than leaf extract.

description: We investigate entanglement of two electron spins forming Cooper pairs in an s-wave superconductor. The two-electron space-spin density matrix is obtained from the BCS ground state using a two-particle Green's function. It is demonstrated that a two spin state is not given by a spin singlet state but by a Werner state. It is found that the entanglement length, within which two spins are entangled, is not the order of the coherence length but the order of the Fermi wave length.

Magnetars from Neutron Star--White Dwarf Mergers: Application to Fast Radio Bursts

description: It is widely believed that magnetars could be born in core-collapse supernovae (SNe), binary neutron star (BNS) or binary white dwarf (BWD) mergers, or accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of white dwarfs. In this paper, we investigate whether magnetars could also be produced from neutron star--white dwarf (NSWD) mergers, motivated by FRB 180924-like fast radio bursts (FRBs) possibly from magnetars born in BNS/BWD/AIC channels suggested by \cite{mar19}. By a preliminary calculation, we find that NSWD mergers with unstable mass transfer could result in the NS acquiring an ultra-strong magnetic field via the dynamo mechanism due to differential rotation and convection or possibly via the magnetic flux conservation scenario of a fossil field. If NSWD mergers can indeed create magnetars, then such objects could produce at least a subset of FRB 180924-like FRBs within the framework of flaring magnetars, since the ejecta, local environments, and host galaxies of the final remnants from NSWD mergers resemble those of BNS/BWD/AIC channels. This NSWD channel is also able to well explain both the observational properties of FRB 180924-like and FRB 180916.J0158+65-like FRBs within a large range in local environments and host galaxies.

description: We study the effect of a domain wall on the electronic transport in ferromagnetic quantum wires. Due to the transverse confinement, conduction channels arise. In the presence of a domain wall, spin up and spin down electrons in these channels become coupled. For very short domain walls or at high longitudinal kinetic energy, this coupling is weak, leads to very few spin flips, and a perturbative treatment is possible. For very long domain wall structures, the spin follows adiabatically the local magnetization orientation, suppressing the effect of the domain wall on the total transmission, but reversing the spin of the electrons. In the intermediate regime, we numerically investigate the spin-dependent transport behavior for different shapes of the domain wall. We find that the knowledge of the precise shape of the domain wall is not crucial for determining the qualitative behavior. For parameters appropriate for experiments, electrons with low longitudinal energy are transmitted adiabatically while the electrons at high longitudinal energy are essentially unaffected by the domain wall. Taking this co-existence of different regimes into account is important for the understanding of recent experiments.

description: Three insecticides - Metasystox-R 25EC, Dimethion 40EC and Fentro 50EC were sprayed on mustard aphid to evaluate their effectiveness on Lipaphis erysimi and safety to the predator Coccinella septempunctata in the field. Metasystox-R was found as the most effective insecticide against mustard aphid. Fentro was highly toxic to C. septempunctata. Dimethion at the concentration of 0.025% proved to be soft to the predator. The insecticides influenced different growth parameters and yield attributing character of mustard and lead to higher seed yield. The response of Metasystox—R at 0.05% concentration was comparatively better for growth parameters and yield of Mustard giving maximum cost benefit ratio (CBR) followed by Dimethion and Fentro at comparable doses. Metasystox-R was evaluated as the most suitable insecticide for controlling mustard aphid.

Seedlings were _raised in seedbed and the field experiments were conducted in four different locations of Sadar Upazilla of Mymensingh viz i) Field laboratory, Department of Plant Pathology, BAU, Mymensingh, ii) Barara, iii)'Sphila and iv) Raghabpur. Sorting of the harvested seeds revealed that T2 (farmer's cleaned seed), T3 (Farmer's seed washed with water), T4 (Farmer's seed washed with brine water) and T5 (farmer's seed cleaned and 'mashed with water) significantly resulted higher percent of best seeds (47.15% -57.49%) over the use of farmer's saved seed (T1), Seed cleaning, cleaning followed by washing also resulted significant number of total grains/ear and reduced number of chaffy grains/ear. From the present findings it is well focused on the importance of seed Cleaning and washing for controlling seed borne pathogens of rice.

description: We study classical and quantum hidden symmetries of a particle with electric charge $e$ in the background of a Dirac monopole of magnetic charge $g$ subjected to an additional central potential $V(r)=U(r) +(eg)^2/2mr^{2}$ with $U(r)=\tfrac{1}{2}mω^2r^2$, similar to that in the one-dimensional conformal mechanics model of de Alfaro, Fubini and Furlan (AFF). By means of a non-unitary conformal bridge transformation, we establish a relation of the quantum states and of all symmetries of the system with those of the system without harmonic trap, $U(r)=0$. Introducing spin degrees of freedom via a very special spin-orbit coupling, we construct the $\mathfrak{osp}(2,2)$ superconformal extension of the system with unbroken $\mathcal{N}=2$ Poincaré supersymmetry and show that two different superconformal extensions of the one-dimensional AFF model with unbroken and spontaneously broken supersymmetry have a common origin. We also show a universal relationship between the dynamics of a Euclidean particle in an arbitrary central potential $U(r)$ and the dynamics of a charged particle in a monopole background subjected to the potential $V(r)$.

Asymmetry of the electronic states in hole- and electron-doped cuprates: Exact diagonalization study of the t-t'-t''-J model

description: We systematically examine the asymmetry of the electronic states in the hole- and electron-doped cuprates by using the t-t'-t''-J model. Numerically exact diagonalization method is employed for a 20-site square lattice. We impose twisted boundary conditions (BC) instead of standard periodic BC. For static and dynamical correlation functions, averaging procedure over the twisted BC is used to reduce the finite-size effect. We find that antiferromagnetic spin correlation remains strong in electron doping in contrast to the case of hole doping, being similar to the case of the periodic BC. This leads to a remarkable electron-hole asymmetry in the dynamical spin structure factor and two-magnon Raman scattering. By changing the twist, the single-particle spectral function is obtained for all momenta in the Brillouin zone. Examining the spectral function in detail, we find a gap opening at around the k=(pi,0) region for 10% doping of holes (the carrier concentration x=0.1), leading to a Fermi arc that is consistent with experiments. In electron doping, however, a gap opens at around k=(pi/2,pi/2) and persists up to x=0.2, being correlated with the strength of the antiferromagnetic correlation. We find that the magnitude of the gaps is sensitive to t' and t''. A pseudogap is also seen in the optical conductivity for electron doping, and its magnitude is found to be the same as that in the spectral function. We compare calculated quantities with corresponding experimental data, and discuss similarities and differences between them as well as their implications.

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The adsorption of polyvinylpyrollidone/sodium dodecyl sulfate (PVP/SDS) and polyvinylpyrollidone/sodium octyl sulfate (PVP/SOS) complex solutions onto alumina were studied. PVP's of 10, 40, and 360 Kilodalton (Kda) molecular weights were used in preparing the complex solutions. Nominal concentrations of 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3% PVP were used to prepare the complex solutions which had an SDS and SOS content ranging from 2 mM to 14 mM, in 2 mM increments. In all cases, it was found that an increase in molecular weight resulted in an increase in the amount of complex solution adsorbed. The adsorption reached saturation at an SDS and SOS concentration of 10--12 mM. A fluorescence spectrum of the complex containing SDS was also studied. Pyrene was used as the fluorescence probe. Three regions were observed. The first, R1, represents the equilibrium distribution of SDS in solution. The second, R2, represents the onset and the formation of SDS micelles as well as the saturation of the PVP/SDS associates. The third, R3, represents the free SDS molecules in equilibrium with PVP/SDS associates. The pyrene probe was found to exhibit a less hydrophobic environment in the SDS/PVP complex than that experienced in the SDS micelles alone. A study of the effect of the molecular weight (10Kda, 40Kda, and 360Kda) and concentration (0.1% and 0.2%) of PVP on the development of the critical micelle concentration (cmc) of the surfactant, SDS, was done using conductance and surface tension measurements. The results obtained indicate that two types of micelles are formed. The cmc was determined for both types. For the first micelle type, the cmc was at 3.1 mM of SDS, and for the second type, the cmc was in the region of 9.5 to 11.2 mM SDS.

description: We investigate spatio-temporal event analysis using point processes. Inferring the dynamics of event sequences spatiotemporally has many practical applications including crime prediction, social media analysis, and traffic forecasting. In particular, we focus on spatio-temporal Hawkes processes that are commonly used due to their capability to capture excitations between event occurrences. We introduce a novel inference framework based on randomized transformations and gradient descent to learn the process. We replace the spatial kernel calculations by randomized Fourier feature-based transformations. The introduced randomization by this representation provides flexibility while modeling the spatial excitation between events. Moreover, the system described by the process is expressed within closed-form in terms of scalable matrix operations. During the optimization, we use maximum likelihood estimation approach and gradient descent while properly handling positivity and orthonormality constraints. The experiment results show the improvements achieved by the introduced method in terms of fitting capability in synthetic and real datasets with respect to the conventional inference methods in the spatio-temporal Hawkes process literature. We also analyze the triggering interactions between event types and how their dynamics change in space and time through the interpretation of learned parameters.

description: This study was aimed to look at the effectiveness of a carried out beef crossbreeding program under recurrent selection in Germany. For this, single trait animal model restricted maximum likelihood (REML) and best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP)' methodologies were used respectively for variance component and breeding value estimation. Estimated breeding values were regressed on year of birth to obtain estimates of genetic trend for each trait. Estimated annual genetic trends were: in beef cows, -0.38, 0.24, 0.50, 0.32, -0.35, 1.10 and 0.82 kg respectively for body weights at 6,12,15,18 months, first, second and third calving; in beef bulls, ranged from -0.003 to 0.12 cm for nine body measurement traits; 3.69 g and -4.94 NE (net energy) respectively for test period average daily gain and energy efficiency, for birth difficulty -0.002; in fattening hybrids, for body weight at the end of test period (WT-T) 1.18, 0.59,1.52 and 0.96 kg respectively in overall, industrial farms, breeding farms and testing stations; in beef x dairy animals, -0.0002 for birth difficulty and 0.025 kg for birth weight. All estimated trends except back width of beef bulls were significant, generally in the expected direction, low and were of 0.02 to 0.18, 0.07 to 0.33, 0.01 to 0.11 % of the 'population mean per year respectively for reproduction, production and body measurement traits. These results show that recurrent selection can also be successful for cattle breeding under sspecialised situations.
Protected integration: The Bataan export processing zone and the development of the Philippine export processing zone strategy
Creators: name: Salazar, Jr., Meliton Bellosillo
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The Philippine export processing zones represent the neoliberal character of the country's policies. They are a component and a microcosm of a strategy that deepens linkages with the global economy. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze neoliberal development through this instance of neoliberalism. It proposes a framework, the neoliberal double movement, an adaptation of Polanyi's double movement. To this end, it charts the changes in Philippine EPZ policy and the impacts of the Bataan zone from their inception to 1995. Data was gathered during field research in Manila and Bataan from 1995 to 1999. Research consisted of documentary research, zone visits, and more than 30 interviews. Interviewees included former cabinet secretaries and labor union presidents. A survey of more than 100 zone workers was also conducted. Based on the findings, the Bataan EPZ indeed augmented the country's employment, foreign exchange earnings, and investments. However, global integration also required people to adapt. As material relations were reconfigured, those brought into the global market's sphere developed new forms of survival. Amidst these upheavals, the zone workers' reactions were intense and widespread. However, they were not apparently challenging the strategy. Rather, they were seeking to maximize their benefits from the system. There was tolerance of the zone and their dependence on it, and thus, of their subordination to global capital. The state's response was directed toward managing the workforce rather than addressing damaging consequences. Its primary motivation was not protection but the preservation of the program. Therefore, the analysis necessitates a reformulation of the framework. Within the revision, the state continues to play its predominant role, but the expansion of the global market economy is not constrained by a countermovement. Instead, the state is guided by a single movement, integration. However, it is neither the only actor nor the actor with the most at stake. Those whose lives are offered to the global production lines are also stakeholders. As much as neoliberal development has reshaped their conditions, they are also seeking ways to remake their new realities and squeeze out more for themselves from this neoliberal world.

description: We explore screening effects arising from a relativistic magnetized plasma with applications to Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). %Specifically, due to their small magnetic moments, energies of electrons and positrons can be easily quantized via Landau quantization. The screening potential which depends on the thermodynamics of charged particles in the plasma is altered by the magnetic field. We focus on the impact of screening on the electron capture interaction. Taking into account the correction in BBN arising from a homogeneous primordial magnetic field (PMF), we constrain the epoch at which the PMF was generated and its strength during BBN. Considering such screening corrections to the electron capture rates and using up-to-date observations of primordial elemental abundances, we also discuss the possibility of solving the problem of under-estimation of the deuterium abundance. We find for certain values of the PMF strength predicted D and $^4$He abundances are both consistent with the observational constraints.

description: We show that, in the parameter regime of state of the art experiments on Bose Einstein Condensates loaded into optical lattices, the energy spectrum of the 1D Bose-Hubbard model amended by a static field exhibits unambiguous signatures of quantum chaos. In the dynamics, this leads to the irreversible decay of Bloch oscillations.

description: The effects of single time whole blood transfusion on body weight and certain haematological values in 12 recipient local chickens, aged between 6 to 8 weeks with blood of 10 hybred donor chickens were carried out during the period from 6 to 9 weeks. No significant (P>0.05) changes in total erythrocyte, haemoglobin, packed cell volume, heterophil, eosinophil, basophil,, monocyte counts were recorded between the pre-and posttransfusion values in recipient chickens; but only the lymphocyte count was found significantly (P<0.05) increased in recipient chickens at 7 days of post transfusion. Blood transfusion in chickens resulted significantly (P< 0.01) increased body weight without any adverse reaction in the recipient chicken.
An Overlapping Domain Decomposition Framework without Dual Formulation for Variational Imaging Problems

description: In this paper, we propose a novel overlapping domain decomposition method that can be applied to various problems in variational imaging such as total variation minimization. Most of recent domain decomposition methods for total variation minimization adopt the Fenchel--Rockafellar duality, whereas the proposed method is based on the primal formulation. Thus, the proposed method can be applied not only to total variation minimization but also to those with complex dual problems such as higher order models. In the proposed method, an equivalent formulation of the model problem with parallel structure is constructed using a custom overlapping domain decomposition scheme with the notion of essential domains. As a solver for the constructed formulation, we propose a decoupled augmented Lagrangian method for untying the coupling of adjacent subdomains. Convergence analysis of the decoupled augmented Lagrangian method is provided. We present implementation details and numerical examples for various model problems including total variation minimizations and higher order models.

description: Scholars, scientists, academic institutions, publishers and funders are all interested in impact. We have different roles and goals, and therefore different reasons for needing to understand impact; we are therefore asking different questions about impact, and those questions continue to evolve, much as the concept of impact itself is evolving. To answer our different questions, do we need different data, in separate silos, or are we looking at the same data, from different angles? This session gathered researcher, library, publisher and metrics provider perspectives to consider who has an interest in impact, what data they are interested in, how they use it, and how the situation is evolving as e.g. business models and technical infrastructures shift.

Protected integration: The Bataan export processing zone and the development of the Philippine export processing zone strategy

description: The Philippine export processing zones represent the neoliberal character of the country's policies. They are a component and a microcosm of a strategy that deepens linkages with the global economy. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze neoliberal development through this instance of neoliberalism. It proposes a framework, the neoliberal double movement, an adaptation of Polanyi's double movement. To this end, it charts the changes in Philippine EPZ policy and the impacts of the Bataan zone from their inception to 1995. Data was gathered during field research in Manila and Bataan from 1995 to 1999. Research consisted of documentary research, zone visits, and more than 30 interviews. Interviewees included former cabinet secretaries and labor union presidents. A survey of more than 100 zone workers was also conducted. Based on the findings, the Bataan EPZ indeed augmented the country's employment, foreign exchange earnings, and investments. However, global integration also required people to adapt. As material relations were reconfigured, those brought into the global market's sphere developed new forms of survival. Amidst these upheavals, the zone workers' reactions were intense and widespread. However, they were not apparently challenging the strategy. Rather, they were seeking to maximize their benefits from the system. There was tolerance of the zone and their dependence on it, and thus, of their subordination to global capital. The state's response was directed toward managing the workforce rather than addressing damaging consequences. Its primary motivation was not protection but the preservation of the program. Therefore, the analysis necessitates a reformulation of the framework. Within the revision, the state continues to play its predominant role, but the expansion of the global market economy is not constrained by a countermovement. Instead, the state is guided by a single movement, integration. However, it is neither the only actor nor the actor with the most at stake. Those whose lives are offered to the global production lines are also stakeholders. As much as neoliberal development has reshaped their conditions, they are also seeking ways to remake their new realities and squeeze out more for themselves from this neoliberal world.
On Critical Current Enhancement in Dislocated, Deoxygenated and Particle Irradiated Superconductors: A Unified Approach

subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A unified approach for description of the anomalous critical current enhancement in dislocated, deoxygenated, and particle irradiated superconductors is proposed based on a novel concept of "active pinning" (pinning via external fields modified intrinsic Josephson junctions) and existence of various competitive forces affecting a rather delicate balance between extended defects (dislocations) and point defects (oxygen vacancies) inside a crystal. The proposed scenario implies that practically any treatment of the superconducting sample (such as sintering, melt-texturing, silver coating, thermal and mechanical treatment, oxygenation/deoxygenation process, particle irradiation, application of high magnetic and electric fields) will inevitably result in a "self-organized" rearrangement of the pre-treated defect structure of the material to optimize its pinning ability.

description: An experiment work was carried out to investigate the effects of oral administration of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on blood glucose level and haematological parameters (TEC, TLC, Hb%, DLC) in mice. Out of three groups of mice (each containing 10 mice), one group was kept as control without giving any drug. Another two groups of mice received separately aspirin (Ecospirin®, 620 mg/kg b.wt.) and paracetamol (Napa®, 333 mg/kg b.wt.) orally along with normal feed. In treated groups, the blood glucose level and total leucocyte count were increased significantly (p<0.01) but the total erythrocyte count (TEC) and haemoglobin content (Hb%) were decreased significantly (p<0.01). In case of differential leukocyte count (DLC), neutrophil count was decreased significantly (p<0.01) but lymphocyte count was increased significantly (p<0.01) in treated groups. In post-mortem examination, congested and hyalinized liver, enlarged kidney and spleen, hemorrhagic stomach and ulcerated intestine were found in NSAIDs treated mice. Long-term oral administration of NSAID is not recommended due to side effects.
