description: Given the experimental confirmation of the Standard Model (SM) predictions for the discovered Higgs boson as well as the non-observation of signals for beyond-the-Standard Model (BSM) physics in Run-1 and Run-2 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), I shall discuss the implications for BSM Higgs models and highlight possible new signatures and search strategies for future LHC runs. After introducing the public tools HiggsBounds and HiggsSignals --- designed to confront BSM models with the experimental results --- I will focus on the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and present a new set of benchmark scenarios specificly designed for upcoming BSM Higgs searches at the LHC. I shall conclude with a brief outlook on the LHC sensitivity in the high-luminosity phase.

A Cinematic Anti-Monument against Mafia Violence: P. Diliberto’s La mafia uccide solo d’estate
Creators: name: Delfino, Massimiliano L.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2018
Subjects: Motion pictures, Italian
Mafia in motion pictures

Violence

description: This article explores how contemporary cinema can serve as artistic means to reflect  upon, and ultimately counteract, the Mafia’s cultural production of violence. It analyzes Pierfrancesco Diliberto’s La mafia uccide solo d’estate (2013) as a movie that, by thematizing  the  Mafia  in  a  personal  and  biological  manner, serves as a striking example of an anti-monument.  Drawing on concepts from monument theory and documentary theory, the article shows how the movie’s anti-monumental form allows the spectators’ active sensitization to and purging of Mafia culture through the sacrificial blood of its victims. From such a perspective, La mafia uccide solo d’estate proves to be an essential movie to consider in the context of both the present negotiation of Italian identity linked to its most recent violent history, and the contemporary directions of Italian auteur cinema.
Generic dijet soft functions at two-loop order: correlated emissions

Publisher: name: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY, Hamburg
Year: 2018

description: We present a systematic algorithm for the perturbative computation of soft functions that are defined in terms of two light-like Wilson lines. Our method is based on a universal parametrisation of the phase-space integrals, which we use to isolate the singularities in Laplace space. The observable-dependent integrations can then be performed numerically, and they are implemented in the new, publicly available package SoftSERVE that we use to derive all of our numerical results. Our algorithm applies to both SCET-1 and SCET-2 soft functions, and in the current version it can be used to compute two out of three NNLO colour structures associated with the so-called correlated-emission contribution. We confirm existing two-loop results for about a dozen $e^+e^-$ and hadron-collider soft functions, and we obtain new predictions for the C-parameter as well as thrust-axis and broadening-axis angularities.

description: By considering analytical expressions for the self-energies of intervalley and intravalley phonons in graphene, we describe the behavior of D, 2D, and D$'$ Raman bands with changes in doping ($μ$) and light excitation energy ($E_L$). Comparing the self-energy with the observed $μ$ dependence of the 2D bandwidth, we estimate the wavevector $q$ of the constituent intervalley phonon at $\hbar vq\simeq E_L/1.6$ ($v$ is electron's Fermi velocity) and conclude that the self-energy makes a major contribution (60%) to the dispersive behavior of the D and 2D bands. The estimation of $q$ is based on an image of shifted Dirac cones in which the resonance decay of a phonon satisfying $q > ω/v$ ($ω$ is the phonon frequency) into an electron-hole pair is suppressed when $μ< (vq-ω)/2$. We highlight the fact that the decay of an intervalley (and intravalley longitudinal optical) phonon with $q=ω/v$ is strongly suppressed by electron-phonon coupling at an arbitrary $μ$. This feature is in contrast to the divergent behavior of an intravalley transverse optical phonon, which bears a close similarity to the polarization function relevant to plasmons.

description: We show that only those composite quantum systems possessing nonvanishing quantum correlations have the property that any nontrivial local unitary evolution changes their global state. We derive the exact relation between the global state change induced by local unitary evolutions and the amount of quantum correlations. We prove that the minimal change coincides with the geometric measure of discord (defined via the Hilbert- Schmidt norm), thus providing the latter with an operational interpretation in terms of the capability of a local unitary dynamics to modify a global state. We establish that two-qubit Werner states are maximally quantum correlated, and are thus the ones that maximize this type of global quantum effect. Finally, we show that similar results hold when replacing the Hilbert-Schmidt norm with the trace norm.

description: The Fe1+y Te1-x Sex compounds belong to the family of iron-based high temperature superconductors, in which superconductivity often appears upon doping antiferromagnetic parent compounds. Unlike other Fe-based superconductors (in which the antiferromagnetic order is at the Fermi surface nesting wavevector [1/2,1/2,1]), the Fe1+y Te1-x Sex parent compound Fe1+y Te orders at a different wavevector, [1/2, 0, 1/2]. Furthermore, the ordering wavevector depends on y, the occupation of interstitial sites with excess iron; the origin of this behavior is controversial. Using inelastic neutron scattering on Fe1.08 Te, we find incommensurate magnetic fluctuations above the Neel temperature, even though the ordered state is bicollinear and commensurate with gapped spin waves. This behavior can be understood in terms of a competition between commensurate and incommensurate order, which we explain as a lock-in transition caused by the magnetic anisotropy.

|Vus| from taus (LQCD)
Creators: name: Izubuchi, Taku
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: We propose and apply a new approach to determining $|V_{us}|$ using dispersion relations with weight functions having poles at Euclidean (space-like) momentum which relate strange hadronic $\tau$ decay distributions to hadronic vacuum polarization functions (HVPs) obtained from lattice QCD. We show examples where spectral integral contributions from the region where experimental data have large errors or do not exist are strongly suppressed but accurate determinations of the relevant lattice HVP combinations remain possible. The resulting $|V_{us}|$ agrees well with determinations from K physics and 3-family CKM unitarity. Advantages of this new approach over the conventional hadronic $\tau$ decay determination employing flavor-breaking sum rules are also discussed. We also report an update reflecting the recent Babar Branching Fraction analysis taken from the presentation at Charm 2018 by Alberto Lusiani.

description: Multimedia technologies offer powerful tools to increase capacity of health workers to deliver standardized, effective, and engaging antiretroviral medication adherence counseling. Masivukeni—is an innovative multimedia-based, computer-driven, lay counselor-delivered intervention designed to help people living with HIV in resource-limited settings achieve optimal adherence. This pilot study examined medication adherence and key psychosocial outcomes among 55 non-adherent South African HIV+ patients, on antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least 6 months, who were randomized to receive either Masivukeni or standard of care (SOC) counseling for ART non-adherence. At baseline, there were no significant differences between the SOC and Masivukeni groups on any outcome variables. At post-intervention (approximately 5–6 weeks after baseline), -clinic-based pill count adherence data available for 20 participants (10 per intervention arm) showed a 10 % improvement for—participants and a decrease of 8 % for SOC participants. Masivukeni participants reported significantly more positive attitudes towards disclosure and medication social support, less social rejection, and better clinic–patient relationships than did SOC participants. Masivukeni shows promise to promote optimal adherence and provides preliminary evidence that multimedia, computer-based technology can help lay counselors offer better adherence counseling than standard approaches.
Quantum Langevin equation of a charged oscillator in a magnetic field and coupled to a heat bath through momentum variables

description: We obtain the quantum Langevin equation (QLE) of a charged quantum particle moving in a harmonic potential in the presence of a uniform external magnetic field and linearly coupled to a quantum heat bath through momentum variables. The bath is modeled as a collection of independent quantum harmonic oscillators. The QLE involves a random force which does not depend on the magnetic field, and a quantum-generalized classical Lorentz force. These features are also present in the QLE for the case of particle-bath coupling through coordinate variables. However, significant differences are also observed. For example, the mean force in the QLE is characterized by a memory function that depends explicitly on the magnetic field. The random force has a modified form with correlation and commutator different from those in the case of coordinate-coordinate coupling. Moreover, the coupling constants, in addition to appearing in the random force and in the mean force, also renormalize the inertial term and the harmonic potential term in the QLE.

description: Can synchronization properties of a network of identical oscillators in the presence of noise be improved through appropriate rewiring of its connections? What are the optimal network architectures for a given total number of connections? We address these questions by running the optimization process, using the stochastic Markov Chain Monte Carlo method with replica exchange, to design the networks of phase oscillators with the increased tolerance against noise. As we find, the synchronization of a network, characterized by the Kuramoto order parameter, can be increased up to 40 %, as compared to that of the randomly generated networks, when the optimization is applied. Large ensembles of optimized networks are obtained and their statistical properties are investigated.

Control of breathing and cardio-respiratory response to normobaric and hypobaric hypoxia
Creators: name: Richard, Normand André
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: We examined the control of breathing, cardio-respiratory effects and the prevalence of acute mountain sickness (AMS) in humans exposed to hypobaric hypoxia (HH), normobaric hypoxia (NH), and under two control conditions (hypobaric normoxia and normobaric normoxia). Subjects (n = 11) were familiarised with all tests prior to their first exposures. The order of conditions was randomized, each exposure lasted for 6 hours, and consecutive exposures were separated by a one-week washout period. Prior to and following exposures, subjects underwent hyperoxic and hypoxic Duffin rebreathing tests, measuring CO₂ threshold and sensitivity, and a hypoxic ventilatory response test (HVR), measuring sensitivity to O₂. Inside the environmental chamber, minute ventilation (VE), tidal volume (VT), frequency of breathing (fB), blood oxygenation (SPO₂), heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) were measured at 5min, 30min and hourly until exit. Symptoms of AMS were evaluated hourly using the Lake Louise score (LLS). Both the hyperoxic and hypoxic CO₂ thresholds were lowered after HH and NH during the Duffin rebreathing test. Hypoxic sensitivity in the Duffin rebreathing test was only increased after HH exposure. No changes occurred in the HVR after any of the four exposures. Ventilatory parameters, SPO₂ and HR were higher in the hypoxic exposures as opposed to the normoxic exposures. No major differences were observed for VE or any other cardio-respiratory variables between NH than HH. The LLS was greater in AMS-susceptible than in AMS-resistant subjects, but LLS was similar in HH and NH. We conclude that 6 hours of hypoxic exposure is sufficient to lower the peripheral and central CO₂ threshold, but it is too short in duration to induce differences in cardio-respiratory variables between HH and NH or to create differences in AMS severity.

description: Large, closely dated assemblages of medieval finds from London, which include well-preserved fragments of wood, glass and metal vessels, have provided an opportunity to gauge for the first time from excavated evidence how the availability and use of these different materials, and of others less common, may have related to each other in the capital over a period of some 300 years. A summary table of these datable finds, given below., can be set beside figures from suitable assemblages elsewhere to try to define similarities or differences in trends suggested. It may eventually be possible to pinpoint regional or national regularities in the late medieval consumption of vessels made of the various materials.
Crossover from vibrational to rotational collectivity in heavy nuclei in the shell-model Monte Carlo approach

description: Heavy nuclei exhibit a crossover from vibrational to rotational collectivity as the number of neutrons or protons increases from shell closure towards midshell, but the microscopic description of this crossover has been a major challenge. We apply the shell model Monte Carlo approach to families of even-even samarium and neodymium isotopes and identify a microscopic signature of the crossover from vibrational to rotational collectivity in the low-temperature behavior of $_T$, where $\bf J$ is the total spin and $T$ is the temperature. This signature agrees well with its values extracted from experimental data. We also calculate the state densities of these nuclei and find them to be in very good agreement with experimental data. Finally, we define a collective enhancement factor from the ratio of the total state density to the intrinsic state density as calculated in the finite-temperature Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approximation. The decay of this enhancement factor with excitation energy is found to correlate with the pairing and shape phase transitions in these nuclei.

description: Women engaged in sex work bear a disproportionate burden of HIV infection worldwide, particularly in low- to middle-income countries. Stakeholders interested in promoting prevention and treatment programs are challenged to efficiently and effectively target heterogeneous groups of women. This problem is particularly difficult because it is nearly impossible to know how those groups are composed a priori. Although grouping based on individual variables (e.g., age or place of solicitation) can describe a sample of women engaged in sex work, selecting these variables requires a strong intuitive understanding of the population.Furthermore, this approach is difficult to quantify and has the potential to reinforce preconceived notions, rather than generate new information. We aimed to investigate groupings of women engaged in sex work. The data were collected from a sample of 204 women who were referred to an HIV prevention intervention in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Latent class analysis was used to create subgroups of women engaged in sex work, based on personal and financial risk factors.This analysis found three latent classes, representing unique response pattern profiles of personal and financial risk. The current study approached typology research in a novel, more empirical way and provided a description of different subgroups, which may respond differently to HIV risk interventions.
The Standard Model confronts CP violation in $D^0 \to π^+π^-$ and $D^0 \to K^+K^-$

description: The recently measured direct CP asymmetries in the processes $D^0\to π^+π^-$ and $D^0\to K^+K^-$ show a significant deviation from the naive Standard Model expectation. Using a general parameterization of the decay amplitudes, we show that the measured branching ratios imply large SU(3) breaking and large violations of the naive $1/N_c$ counting. Furthermore, rescattering constrains the I=0 amplitudes in the $ππ$ and $KK$ channels. Combining all this information, we show that, with present errors, the observed asymmetries are marginally compatible with the Standard Model. Improving the experimental accuracy could lead to an indirect signal of new physics.

description: We introduce a general method which allows reconstruction of electronic band structure of nanocrystals from ordinary real-space electronic structure calculations. A comprehensive study of band structure of a realistic nanocrystal is given including full geometric and electronic relaxation with the surface passivating groups. In particular, we combine this method with large scale density functional theory calculations to obtain insight into the luminescence properties of silicon nanocrystals of up to 3 nm in size depending on the surface passivation and geometric distortion. We conclude that the band structure concept is applicable to silicon nanocrystals with diameter larger than $\approx$ 2 nm with certain limitations. We also show how perturbations due to polarized surface groups or geometric distortion can lead to considerable moderation of momentum space selection rules.

Fostering social capital and building community resilience using a neighbour-to-neighbour approach
Creators: name: Pinette, Jennifer Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The international hazard management field has identified capacity building and locally-based initiatives across the Hazard Management Cycle (HMC) as central to community resilience against disasters. The extent to which the various forms of capital have been explored in this regard has been unevenly distributed in the literature. This research fills key gaps in knowledge regarding social capital. More specifically it: (1) addresses the relative lack of literature on the role of social capital in building community resilience; (2) explores how social capital can be fostered across all stages of the HMC; and (3) identifies what a community-based approach to building social capital might look like and what constraints to implementation of such an approach may exist. Through a review of literature, objectives and criteria are developed for each phase of the HMC and the advantages of a neighbour-to-neighbour (N2N) hazard management approach that fosters social capital are compared to traditional approaches. The specific activities, structure, and dynamics of the N2N approach are then explored. Through semi-structured interviews the adaptability of the N2N approach is assessed in terms of the Costa Rican context. The research finds that the N2N approach could address many of the current challenges in the hazard management field. Costa Rica, where the hazard management system is currently in flux, provides many opportunities for implementation of the N2N approach. The approach could bring many benefits and address problem areas in the current system. The research reveals that the N2N approach may be capable of fostering social capital across the HMC and addressing current gaps in the hazard management field. Implementation, in the appropriate context, appears feasible and desirable as a result of the many potential benefits it provides.

description: Background
Women who engage in sex work are at risk for experiencing violence from numerous perpetrators, including paying partners. Empirical evidence has shown mixed results regarding the impact of participation in microfinance interventions on women’s experiences of violence, with some studies demonstrating reductions in intimate partner violence (IPV) and others showing heightened risk for IPV. The current study reports on the impact of participation in a microsavings intervention on experiences of paying partner violence among women engaged in sex work in Mongolia.

Methods
Between 2011 and 2013, we conducted a two-arm, non-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing an HIV/STI risk reduction intervention (HIVSRR) (control condition) to a combined microsavings and HIVSRR intervention (treatment condition). Eligible women (aged 18 or older, reported having engaged in unprotected sex with paying partner in past 90 days, expressed interest in microsavings intervention) were invited to participate. One hundred seven were randomized, including 50 in the control and 57 in the treatment condition. Participants completed assessments at baseline, immediate post-test following HIVSRR, and at 3-months and 6-months after completion of the treatment group intervention. Outcomes for the current study include any violence (physical and/or sexual), sexual violence, and physical violence from paying partners in the past 90 days.

Results
An intention-to-treat approach was utilized. Linear growth models revealed significant reductions over time in both conditions for any violence (β = −0.867, p

description: If the surface tension of quark matter is low enough, quark matter is not self bound. At sufficiently low pressure and temperature, it will take the form of a crystal of positively charged strangelets in a neutralizing background of electrons. In this case there will exist, in addition to the usual family of strange stars, a family of low-mass large-radius objects analogous to white dwarfs, which we call "strangelet dwarfs". Using a generic parametrization of the equation of state of quark matter, we calculate the mass-radius relationship of these objects.

title: The role of Tfh-derived LIF in B cell responses
Creators: name: Meng, Xiangpeng
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: Germinal center (GC) B-cells are critical for long-lived antibody responses and their induction and maintenance depends on T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. Increasing BCR affinity through somatic hypermutation favours a shift from memory B cells to plasma cell output over time. The contribution of Tfh cells to this shift is unclear, with some evidence that their product IL-21 promotes plasma cell formation while limiting memory B cells. Here we show that human and mouse Tfh cells produce leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and expression increases and sustains through late GC stages, after IL-21 has peaked. LIF signals directly in B and T-cells to enhance BCL6 expression, promote GC B cell responses and limit GC B cell apoptosis. In the absence of LIF, GCs, plasma cells and antibody affinity were reduced, while memory B cells did not change. LIF appeared more effective at inducing BCL6 in human memory B-cells compared to naive and GC B-cells. Unlike IL-21 that is abundantly expressed by both human follicular regulatory (CD25+) and helper (CD25-) T cells, LIF was selectively produced by CD25- Tfh. IL-21 and LIF activated STAT3 but only LIF induced type-I interferon responses and NFAT5 phosphorylation in B-cells. LIF emerges as an important determinant of long-lived antibody responses, with non-redundant roles in GC homeostasis.

description: We examine the bound state and scattering problem of a spin-one-half particle undergone to an Aharonov-Bohm potential in a conical space in the nonrelativistic limit. The crucial problem of the δ-function singularity coming from the Zeeman spin interaction with the magnetic flux tube is solved through the self-adjoint extension method. Using two different approaches already known in the literature, both based on the self-adjoint extension method, we obtain the self-adjoint extension parameter to the bound state and scattering scenarios in terms of the physics of the problem. It is shown that such a parameter is the same for both situations. The method is general and is suitable for any quantum system with a singular Hamiltonian that has bound and scattering states.

description: The efficacy of a behavioral intervention to reduce human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk behaviors was tested in a randomized, controlled trial with three high-risk populations at 37 clinics from seven sites across the United States. Compared with the 1855 individuals in the control condition, the 1851 participants assigned to a small-group, seven-session HIV risk reduction program reported fewer unprotected sexual acts, had higher levels of condom use, and were more likely to use condoms consistently over a 12-month follow-up period. On the basis of clinical record review, no difference in overall sexually transmitted disease (STD) reinfection rate was found between intervention and control condition participants. However, among men recruited from STD clinics, those assigned to the intervention condition had a gonorrhea incidence rate one-half that of those in the control condition. Intervention condition participants also reported fewer STD symptoms over the 12-month follow-up period. Study outcomes suggest that behavioral interventions can reduce HIV-related sexual risk behavior among low-income women and men served in public health settings. Studies that test strategies for reducing sexual risk behavior over longer periods of time are needed, especially with populations that remain most vulnerable to HIV infection.

description: Theoretical analysis based on the Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire (LGD) theory is used to show that the product effect of flexoelectricity and rotostriction can lead to a spontaneous polarization in the vicinity of antiphase boundaries, ferroelastic twin walls, surfaces and interfaces in the octahedrally tilted phase of otherwise non-ferroelectric perovskites such as CaTiO3, SrTiO3, and EuTiO3. As an example, we numerically demonstrate a large spontaneous polarization on the order of 1-5muC/cm2 at the SrTiO3 antidistortive phase boundaries at temperatures lower than the antiferrodistortive structural phase transition temperature of ~105 K

Dissecting modernity : anatomy and power in the language of science in China
Creators: name: Luesink, David Nanson
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This study analyzes the construction of modernity by looking at a set of problems that began to be posed in a striking connection in China in the 1910s, related to anatomy, technical language and power. It does so by focusing on a network of people who created and standardized translations for scientific terminology in Chinese, beginning with the terminology for anatomy. This network, lasting from 1915 to 1927, extended to three hundred members, but this study keeps the focus on a much smaller number. Anglo-American physicians were represented by Philip Cousland and Yu Fengbin. Mediating between missionaries and Chinese elite physicians were members of the Jiangsu Provincial Education Association like philologist Shen Enfu, but also Yu Rizhang, also head of the YMCA. Overshadowing these men was Dr. Tang Erhe, government representative and leader of Japanese-trained physicians. Only several years earlier, Tang had almost single-handedly established legal, routinized dissection as the basis of medical education in China. The activities of these men reveal the problems of how scientific modernity would be established as a new orthodox epistemology in the Chinese context. This study examines the rapid shift, in China, from a cosmology centered in Confucian orthodoxy and the institution of the imperial examination system toward a scientific worldview based on material practices like anatomical dissection and bolstered by a vast new technical terminology. In China in 1910 China was still the Qing empire, anatomy was illegal and medical education occurred only in master-disciple relationships. By 1920, these conditions had changed. Even as politics deteriorated, new forms of mundane power were established. The JPEA-Joint Terminology Committee network coincided with, and accelerated trends towards professionalization, first among anatomically-based physicians, but also scientists and educators. Professional groups formed in 1915, publishing the results of the committee and related attempts to regulate the medical field. This regulation led directly to attempts to abolish Chinese medicine. By following members of this committee, we see the institutionalization of anatomically-based medicine in China through its technical language and anatomical practice. We also see a new form of power that sought to eliminate ambivalence through reductionism.

description: Decent taste and the salt and drought tolerance of purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) make it a potential vegetable crop for the future. This study investigates the effects of foliar application of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), a new plant growth regulator, on the growth, mineral composition, and bioactive compounds of purslane. Three different levels of 5-ALA (0, 25 and 50 mg L-1) were sprayed at 1) two leaved stage and 2) upon the onset of inflorescence appearance on purslane seedlings. Results showed that 5-ALA application enhanced biomass accumulation in the plant shoot and increased shoot length. Concentration of nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron increased in the shoots of 5-ALA treated plants, while the calcium concentration remained unaffected. Phenolic compounds of the plant were catechin, chlorogenic acid, and ellagic acid, with catechin being the main compound. Further on, Trans-ferulic acid, hesperedin and eugenol were detected in the extract of 5-ALA-treated plants. Application of 5-ALA also increased fatty acids in the plant leaves. Total phenolics, ascorbic acid contents and antioxidative activity of shoot were increased in the 5-ALA-treated plants. Moreover, pH of root exudates of the plants was decreased in 5-ALA treated plants. The results revealed that exogenous 5-ALA has growth regulatory effects and can enhance the growth, and improve nutritional quality and pharmaceutical properties of P. oleracea. In this regard, the best results were obtained by application of 50 mg 5-ALA L-1.

Probing topological order with Rényi entropy

description: We present an analytical study of the quantum phase transition between the topologically ordered toric-code-model ground state and the disordered spin-polarized state. The phase transition is induced by applying an external magnetic field, and the variation in topological order is detected via two non-local quantities: the Wilson loop and the topological Renyi entropy of order 2. By exploiting an equivalence with the transverse-field Ising model and considering two different variants of the problem, we investigate the field dependence of these quantities by means of an exact treatment in the exactly solvable variant and complementary perturbation theories around the limits of zero and infinite fields in both variants. We find strong evidence that the phase transition point between topological order and disorder is marked by a discontinuity in the topological Renyi entropy and that the two phases around the phase transition point are characterized by its different constant values. Our results therefore indicate that the topological Renyi entropy is a proper topological invariant: its allowed values are discrete and can be used to distinguish between different phases of matter.
