description: This study investigates the relationship between housing and environmental exposures to understand the structuring role of housing and planning regimes in environmental inequality. Comparing the exposure to air pollutants, noise, greenery, and heat stress for different housing tenures in the Amsterdam region in 2021, our analyses indicate that ownership housing generally has more favourable exposure than the rental. Second, given institutional changes in urban planning and housing development, it evaluates whether housing built before and after the Great Financial Crisis shows differences in exposure. We find significant differences between construction periods. Unexpectedly, exposure does not differ between recent development periods for social housing. Instead, the most recently built private rental housing is significantly more exposed than pre-crisis new-built housing. This is likely related to urbanist planning leading to housing densification near urban infrastructure. Our conclusion reflects on the broader implications for understanding the links between housing, planning and environmental inequality.

description: This is the first paper of our systematic efforts on lepton number violating (LNV) hadronic decays in the effective field theory approach. These decays provide information complementary to popular nuclear neutrinoless double-$β$ ($0νββ$) decay in that they can probe LNV interactions involving heavier quarks and charged leptons. We may call them hadronic $0νββ$ decays in short, though $β$ refers to all charged leptons. In this work we investigate the decays $K^\pm\rightarrowπ^\mp l^{\pm}l^{\pm}$ that arise from short-distance or contact interactions involving four quark fields and two charged lepton fields, which have canonical dimension nine (dim-9) at leading order in low energy effective field theory (LEFT). We make a complete analysis on the basis of all dim-9 operators that violate lepton number by two units, and compute their one-loop QCD renormalization effects. We match these effective interactions in LEFT to those in chiral perturbation theory ($χ$PT) for pseudoscalar mesons, and determine the resulting hadronic low energy constants (LECs) by chiral symmetry and lattice results in the literature. The obtained decay rate is general in that all physics at and above the electroweak scale is completely parameterized by the relevant Wilson coefficients in LEFT and hadronic LECs in $χ$PT. Assuming the standard model effective field theory (SMEFT) is the appropriate effective field theory between some new physics scale and the electroweak scale, we match our LEFT results to SMEFT whose leading effective interactions arise from LNV dim-7 operators. This connection to SMEFT simplifies significantly the interaction structures entering in the kaon decays, and we employ the current experimental bounds to set constraints on the relevant Wilson coefficients in SMEFT.

description: We show that multi-trace interactions can be consistently incorporated into an extended AdS/CFT prescription involving the inclusion of generalized boundary conditions and a modified Legendre transform prescription. We find new and consistent results by considering a self-contained formulation which relates the quantization of the bulk theory to the AdS/CFT correspondence and the perturbation at the boundary by double-trace interactions. We show that there exist particular double-trace perturbations for which irregular modes are allowed to propagate as well as the regular ones. We perform a detailed analysis of many different possible situations, for both minimally and non-minimally coupled cases. In all situations, we make use of a new constraint which is found by requiring consistence. In the particular non-minimally coupled case, the natural extension of the Gibbons-Hawking surface term is generated.

description: We survey the electrical transport properties of the single-crystalline, topological chiral semimetal CoSi which was grown via different methods. High-quality CoSi single crystals were found in the growth from tellurium solution. The sample's high carrier mobility enables us to observe, for the first time, quantum oscillations (QOs) in its thermoelectrical signals. Our analysis of QOs reveals two spherical Fermi surfaces around the R point in the Brillouin zone corner. The extracted Berry phases of these electron orbits are consistent with the -2 chiral charge as reported in DFT calculations. Detailed analysis on the QOs reveals that the spin-orbit coupling induced band-splitting is less than 2 meV near the Fermi level, one order of magnitude smaller than our DFT calculation result. We also report the phonon-drag induced large Nernst effect in CoSi at intermediate temperatures.

description: We investigate nonlocal coherent transport in ballistic four-terminal Josephson structures (where bulk superconductors (terminals) are connected through a clean normal layer, e.g., a two-dimensional electron gas). Coherent anisotropic superposition of macroscopic wave functions of the superconductors in the normal region produces phase slip lines (2D analogs to phase slip centres) and time-reversal symmetry breaking 2D vortex states in it, as well as such effects as phase dragging and magnetic flux transfer. The tunneling density of local Andreev states in the normal layer was shown to contain peaks at the positions controlled by the phase differences between the terminals. We have obtained general dependence of these effects on the controlling supercurrent/phase differences between the terminals of the ballistic mesoscopic four-terminal SQUID.

description: We use the extension problem proposed by Caffarelli and Silvestre to study the quantization of a scalar nonlocal quantum field theory built out of the fractional Laplacian. We show that the quantum behavior of such a nonlocal field theory in $d$-dimensions can be described in terms of a local action in $d+1$ dimensions which can be quantized using the canonical operator formalism though giving up local commutativity. In particular, we discuss how to obtain the two-point correlation functions and the vacuum energy density of the nonlocal fractional theory as a brane limit of the bulk correlators. We show explicitly how the quantized extension problem reproduces exactly the same particle content of other approaches based on the spectral representation of the fractional propagator. We also briefly discuss the inverse fractional Laplacian and possible applications of this approach in general relativity and cosmology.

description: Localized solutions of the Dirac equation for an electron moving in free space and electromagnetic field lattices with periodic dependence on space-time coordinates (electromagnetic space-time crystals) are treated using the expansions in basis wave functions. The techniques for calculating these functions with any prescribed accuracy are presented. It is shown that in the crystals created by two counterpropagating plane electromagnetic waves with the same or the opposite circular polarizations, the Dirac equation describing the basis functions reduces to matrix ordinary differential equations. These functions and the corresponding mean values of velocity, momentum, energy, and spin operators are found for the both types of crystals. Localized solutions describing the families of orthonormal beams in electromagnetic space-time crystals and free space, defined by a given set of orthonormal complex scalar functions on a two-dimensional manifold, are obtained. By way of illustration the orthonormal beams in free space and various localized states with complex vortex structure of probability currents, defined by the spherical harmonics, are presented. The obtained solutions have high probability density only in very small core regions. The evolution of wave packets with one-dimensional localization in the both types of crystals created by two circularly polarized waves is described.

description: Polarimetric studies of pulsars at low radio frequencies provide important observational insights into the pulsar emission mechanism and beam models, and probe the properties of the magneto-ionic interstellar medium (ISM). Aperture arrays are the main form of next-generation low-frequency telescopes, including the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). These require a distinctly different approach to data processing (e.g. calibration and beamforming) compared to traditional dish antennas. As the second paper of this series, we present a verification of the MWA's pulsar polarimetry capability, using two bright southern pulsars, PSRs J0742-2822 and J1752-2806. Our observations simultaneously cover multiple frequencies (76-313 MHz) and were taken at multiple zenith angles during a single night for each pulsar. We show that the MWA can be reliably calibrated for zenith angles < 45 degree and frequencies < 270 MHz. We present the polarimetric profiles for PSRs J0742-2822 and J1752-2806 at frequencies lower than 300 MHz for the first time, along with an analysis of the linear polarisation degree and pulse profile evolution with frequency. For PSR J0742-2822, the measured degree of linear polarisation shows a rapid decrease at low frequencies, in contrast with the generally expected trend, which can be attributed to depolarisation effects from small-scale, turbulent, magneto-ionic ISM components. This effect has not been widely explored for pulsars in general, and will be further investigated in future work.

Also we study the dependence of this rate on various boundary conditions governing the flow.

description: We propose a method to identify jets consisting of all the visible remnants of boosted top particles when these decay semileptonically to electrons. Within these jets, the electron shower overlaps with the shower initiated by the $b$ quark, which makes the identification of the electron hard. Even if an electron inside a jet is identified, it is difficult to pinpoint whether the electron rich jet is indeed due to top quark decay or not, since the invisible neutrino carries away a nontrivial part of the energy-momentum of the original top quark. Broadly speaking, the method proposed here has three key components. It uses the distribution of energy in various parts of the detector to identify whether the observed jet is consistent with a jet containing an energetic electron. It uses the substructure of the jet to determine the momentum associated with the electron. Finally, it constructs new variables that carry tell-tale features of top quark decay kinematics using an extra ansatz that, there exists a massless invisible four-momentum \emph{roughly} collimated to the electron, which reconstructs a $W$ and a top when it is combined with the electron and the full jet respectively. We demonstrate the efficacy of this proposal using simulated data and show that our method not only reduces the backgrounds from light flavor jets, $b$ jets from QCD, and hadronic top jets, it can also tell apart jets rich in electrons but not due to top quark decays.

description: We introduce the FCHL19 representation for atomic environments in molecules or condensed-phase systems. Machine learning models based on FCHL19 are able to yield predictions of atomic forces and energies of query compounds with chemical accuracy on the scale of milliseconds. FCHL19 is a revision of our previous work [Faber et al. 2018] where the representation is discretized and the individual features are rigorously optimized using Monte Carlo optimization. Combined with a Gaussian kernel function that incorporates elemental screening, chemical accuracy is reached for energy learning on the QM7b and QM9 datasets after training for minutes and hours, respectively. The model also shows good performance for non-bonded interactions in the condensed phase for a set of water clusters with an MAE binding energy error of less than 0.1 kcal/mol/molecule after training on 3,200 samples. For force learning on the MD17 dataset, our optimized model similarly displays state-of-the-art accuracy with a regressor based on Gaussian process regression. When the revised FCHL19 representation is combined with the operator quantum machine learning regressor, forces and energies can be predicted in only a few milliseconds per atom. The model presented herein is fast and lightweight enough for use in general chemistry problems as well as molecular dynamics simulations.

description: Background
Soluble lectin-like oxidised low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (sLOX-1) is overproduced during inflammation, with its expression and release triggered by C-reactive protein (CRP). As CRP levels are typically elevated in sepsis, this study aimed to investigate whether sLOX-1 levels increase in parallel.
Methods
Plasma sLOX-1 levels of 52 patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), 45 patients with sepsis, 88 patients with septic shock and 37 controls were measured by ELISA. Associations with CRP, underlying diseases, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and bacterial infections were analysed.
Results
Plasma sLOX-1 levels were similarly elevated in patients with SIRS, sepsis, or septic shock compared to controls. Plasma sLOX-1 levels did not differ between male and female controls or patients. Plasma sLOX-1 levels were comparable in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, Gram-negative bacteria, or Gram-positive bacteria. No association was observed between sLOX-1 levels and underlying liver cirrhosis or pancreatitis. Notably, plasma sLOX-1 levels correlated positively with leukocyte and basophil counts but showed no correlation with CRP or procalcitonin. Of clinical relevance, positive correlations were also found with aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and bilirubin levels. Among the 41 patients who did not survive, sLOX-1, AST, and bilirubin levels were significantly higher compared to those of survivors.
Conclusions
Plasma levels of sLOX-1 are elevated in patients with SIRS or sepsis and are significantly higher in non-survivors. Of note, they do not correlate with classical inflammatory markers, suggesting that sLOX-1 may function as an independent prognostic biomarker for predicting poor outcomes in patients with SIRS or sepsis.

description: Muon pair production in the process e+e- -> e+e-mu+mu- is studied using the data taken at LEP1 (sqrt(s) \simeq m_Z) with the DELPHI detector during the years 1992-1995. The corresponding integrated luminosity is 138.5 pb^{-1}. The QED predictions have been tested over the whole Q^2 range accessible at LEP1 (from several GeV^2/c^4 to several hundred GeV^2/c^4) by comparing experimental distributions with distributions resulting from Monte Carlo simulations using various generators. Selected events are used to extract the leptonic photon structure function F_2^γ. Azimuthal correlations are used to obtain information on additional structure functions, F_A^γand F_B^γ, which originate from interference terms of the scattering amplitudes. The measured ratios F_A^γ/F_2^γand F_B^γ/F_2^γare significantly different from zero and consistent with QED predictions.

Two-Loop Analysis of Gauge Coupling Unification with Anomalous U(1) Symmetry and Proton Decay

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Recently, a new mechanism, which explains why the three gauge coupling constants meet at a certain scale in the minimal supersymmetric standard model, has been proposed in a scenario of grand unified theories with anomalous $U(1)_A$ gauge symmetry. It is a non-trivial result that although there are many superheavy fields whose mass scales are below the unification scale, this mechanism explains this fact by means of one-loop renormalization group equations. Since the unification scale generically becomes below the usual GUT scale, $2\times 10^{16}$ GeV, and proton decay via dimension 5 operators is suppressed, the scenario predicts that proton decay via dimension 6 operators, $p\to e π^0$, will be observed in the near future. In this paper, we attempt to estimate a reasonable range of values of the lifetime of the proton predicted within this scenario by using a two-loop renormalization group calculation and the ambiguities of \order1 coefficients.

description: We performed a series of high-resolution $N$-body simulations to examine whether dark matter candidates in the form of primordial black holes (PBHs) can solve the cusp-core problem in low-mass dwarf galaxies. If some fraction of the dark matter in low-mass dwarf galaxies consists of PBHs and the rest is cold dark matter, dynamical heating of the cold dark matter by the PBHs induces a cusp-to-core transition in the total dark matter profile. The mechanism works for PBHs in the 25-100 M$_{\sun}$ mass window, consistent with the LIGO detections, but requires a lower limit on the PBH mass fraction of 1$\%$ of the total dwarf galaxy dark matter content. The cusp-to-core transition time-scale is between 1 and 8 Gyr. This time-scale is also a constant multiple of the relaxation time between cold dark matter particles and PBHs, which depends on the mass, the mass fraction and the scale radius of the initial density profile of PBHs. We conclude that dark matter cores occur naturally in halos comprised of cold dark matter and PBHs, without the need to invoke baryonic processes.

description: We study the boundary states for the rational points in the moduli spaces of c=1 conformal and c=3/2 superconformal field theories, including the isolated Ginsparg points. We use the orbifold and simple-current techniques to relate the boundary states of different theories and to obtain symmetry-breaking, non-Cardy boundary states. We show some interesting examples of fractional and twisted branes on orbifold spaces.

description: We study the electronic coupling between two vertically stacked InAs quantum dots, which are embedded in the center of a n-i-n structure. We use a micro-photoluminescence setup to optically isolate a single quantum dot pair and measure the time-averaged photoluminescence under an applied vertical electric field. We find that field tunable coupling between excited states of the two quantum dots leads to charge transfer from one dot to the other. We model the spectra including simultaneously the field dependent charge transfer and exciton capture rates, and the many-body spectra of the quantum dot molecule for different carrier configurations.

 Diagnosis. This species is close to T. finita on the wing pattern and the male genitalia features (see diagnosis under that species). T. rubromarginata indica is distinguishable from the nominate subspecies by larger size, and some differences in the wing pattern and the male genitalia. In T. rubromarginata indica, the ground colour of the wings and the shadow on the forewing from apex to the middle of the inner margin is paler than in the nominate subspecies. The posterior margins of the uncus lobes are truncate, and their apical angles are less swollen than in the nominate subspecies.
 Distribution. China, India, Bhutan, Nepal.

description: Atom Interferometric Gravitational-wave (GW) Space Observatory (AIGSO) is a mission concept mainly aimed at the middle-frequency (0.1 Hz - 10 Hz) GW detection. AIGSO proposes to have three spacecraft in linear formation with extension of 10 km. The three spacecraft need to maintain 5 km + 5 km constant arm-length formation. In this study, we address the issue of orbit design and thruster requirement. The acceleration to maintain the formation can be designed to be less than 30 pm/s$^2$ and the thruster requirement is in the 30 nN range. Application to other arm-length-maintaining missions is also discussed.

description: The gravitational waves generated in the coalescence of massive binary black holes will be measurable by LISA to enormous distances. Redshifts z~10 or larger (depending somewhat on the mass of the binary) can potentially be probed by such measurements, suggesting that binary coalescences can be made into cosmological tools. We discuss two particularly interesting types of probes. First, by combining gravitational-wave measurements with information about the universe's cosmography, we can study the evolution of black hole masses and merger rates as a function of redshift, providing information about the growth of structures at high redshift and possibly constraining hierarchical merger scenarios. Second, if it is possible to associate an ``electromagnetic'' counterpart with a coalescence, it may be possible to measure both redshift and luminosity distance to an event with less than ~1% error. Such a measurement would constitute an amazingly precise cosmological standard candle. Unfortunately, gravitational lensing uncertainties will reduce the quality of this candle significantly. Though not as amazing as might have been hoped, such a candle would nonetheless very usefully complement other distance-redshift probes, in particular providing a valuable check on systematic effects in such measurements.

description: Sustainability has become an important topic globally and the demand for ICT sustainability is escalating. Despite the attempts of academics to define software sustainability, which is a multidisciplinary issue, no single acceptable definition exists. Similarly, current models or frameworks are conceptual and abstract. Moreover, the software industry involves and affects organisations of all types and therefore, a number of barriers to the adoption of sustainable development in SE need to be overcome. As a result, there is a need to demystify software sustainability, enhance its understanding among software engineers, and increase awareness within both the software industry and society as a whole.Thus, the main aim of this thesis was to develop a holistic framework for software sustainability by investigating software sustainability with regard to the models and frameworks currently in use. To achieve this, the literature concerning current practices in sustainable software development was investigated; stakeholders were examined empirically to reveal critical factors that shape software sustainability; and a framework was then developed and empirically evaluated within the software industry. The framework has been tailored so that it could help to achieve software sustainability at an organisational level in developing countries, more specifically in e-government in the KSA.Since the literature review revealed a lack of practical tools, the research moves the study of software sustainability from a conceptual to a practical level, breaking new ground by introducing a practical tool. This tool fully supports the theoretical framework which provides guidelines for developing sustainable software for the software industry.

description: Since 1961 world vegetable consumption and production have been increasing steadily at annual average growth rates of 3.24 % and 9.29 % respectively. Tomatoes represent the largest annual world production volume with an average share of 62% followed by carrots (13 %), lettuce (10%), cauliflower (8%), spinach (6%) and onions (2 %). The study estimates the full Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) and provides an in-depth analysis of fresh vegetables in the Dallas-Ft. Worth metropolitan area, which is largest market for Northeast Texas producers. The study estimates expenditure and price elasticities using AC Nielsen Homescan consumption data on carrots, cauliflowers, lettuce, onions, spinach, tomatoes, and precut salad mix. It is critical for vegetable growers and agribusinesses to understand the substitution patterns among different types of vegetables as well as current production and consumption trends at the retail level. A discussion about how various types of fresh vegetables perform at the retail level is presented. Several cases of substitutes and complements fresh vegetables were identified. Our disaggregated analysis may help producers better identify products that are highly marketable in the area. Our results may also provide insight in determining which fresh vegetables are most profitable for local producers.

Thermal QCD sum rules for mesons

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A recently proposed scheme is used to saturate the spectral side of the QCD sum rules derived from the thermal, two-point correlation functions of the vector and the axial-vector currents. At low temperature, it constructs the spectral representation from all the one-loop Feynman diagrams for the two-point functions. The old saturation scheme treats incorrectly some of these contributions. We end up with the familiar QCD sum rules obtained from the difference of the two corresponding vacuum correlation functions. The possibility of obtaining new sum rules in other media is discussed.
