Search for metastable heavy charged particles with large ionisation energy loss in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV using the ATLAS experiment
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Many extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of charged heavy long-lived particles, such as $R$-hadrons or charginos. These particles, if produced at the Large Hadron Collider, should be moving non-relativistically and are therefore identifiable through the measurement of an anomalously large specific energy loss in the ATLAS pixel detector. Measuring heavy long-lived particles through their track parameters in the vicinity of the interaction vertex provides sensitivity to metastable particles with lifetimes from 0.6 ns to 30 ns. A search for such particles with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider is presented, based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 18.4 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV. No significant deviation from the Standard Model background expectation is observed, and lifetime-dependent upper limits on $R$-hadrons and chargino production are set. Gluino $R$-hadrons with 10 ns lifetime and masses up to 1185 GeV are excluded at 95$\%$ confidence level, and so are charginos with 15 ns lifetime and masses up to 482 GeV.

description: Graphic novels have been enjoying higher levels of publication and popularity among readers, businesses, and libraries. Librarians are willing to include graphic novels in library collections, but are generally unfamiliar with the comics medium and must look primarily to reviews or "best of" lists for selection. There are a number of indicators of quality and demand, as well as dimensions of diversity, which librarians can use to assess whether a particular graphic novel is worthy of inclusion in a collection; these factors can increase quality at both the item and collection levels, attract diverse audiences to graphic novels, and assist in defusing censorship or patron complaints. It is also recommended that graphic novels be integrated into written collection development policies.

description: In this work, we show that a giant spin current can be injected into a nodal topological superconductor, using a normal paramagnetic lead, through a large number of zero energy Majorana fermions at the superconductor edge. The giant spin current is caused by the selective equal spin Andreev reflections (SESAR) induced by Majorana fermions. In each SESAR event, a pair of electrons with certain spin polarization are injected into the nodal topological superconductor, even though the pairing in the bulk of the nodal superconductor is spin-singlet s-wave. We further explain the origin of the spin current by showing that the pairing correlation at the edge of a nodal topological superconductor is predominantly equal spin-triplet at zero energy. The experimental consequences of SESAR in nodal topological superconductors are discussed.

Continuous utility factor in segregation models
Creators: name: Roy, Parna
name: Sen, Parongama
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the constrained Schelling model of social segregation in which the utility factor of agents strictly increases and non-local jumps of the agents are allowed. In the present study, the utility factor u is defined in a way such that it can take continuous values and depends on the tolerance threshold as well as the fraction of unlike neighbours. Two models are proposed: in model A the jump probability is determined by the sign of u only which makes it equivalent to the discrete model. In model B the actual values of u are considered. Model A and model B are shown to differ drastically as far as segregation behaviour and phase transitions are concerned. In model A, although segregation can be achieved, the cluster sizes are rather small. Also, a frozen state is obtained in which steady states comprise of many unsatisfied agents. In model B, segregated states with much larger cluster sizes are obtained. The correlation function is calculated to show quantitatively that larger clusters occur in model B. Moreover for model B, no frozen states exist even for very low dilution and small tolerance parameter. This is in contrast to the unconstrained discrete model considered earlier where agents can move even when utility remains same. In addition, we also consider a few other dynamical aspects which have not been studied in segregation models earlier.

description: The Preoperational Thought Indicator Measure attempts to determine the characteristics  of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development as they manifest themselves in picture  books. The purpose of the study was to conduct an item analysis in an effort to determine  which of the indicators of the Preoperational Thought Indicator Measure should be  eliminated, reworded or remain unchanged. An item response consistency rate was  determined for each indicator of the Preoperational Thought Indicator Measure. Those  indicators which had an item response consistency rate of greater than 80 percent were  determined to have a strong response rate. Of the twenty-two indicators, thirteen were  found to have item response consistency rates of greater than 80 percent. The remaining  indicators performed poorly for various reasons.

description: Σκοπός της διατριβής είναι να παρέχει όλες τις απαραίτητες πληροφορίες σε υπογόνιμα ζευγάρια ή γυναίκες που επιθυμούν να αποκτήσουν έναν απόγονο. Αναλύεται κάθε ορολογία και ορισμός σχετικά με την υπογονιμότητα και την υποβοηθούμενη αναπαραγωγή. Ο στόχος είναι το αίτιο της υπογονιμότητας, να διερευνάται σε βάθος και όπου είναι δυνατόν να διορθώνεται. Το ζευγάρι θα πρέπει να ενημερώνεται για τις διαδικασίες της υποβοηθούμενης αναπαραγωγής αλλά και για τα ρεαλιστικά ποσοστά επιτυχίας πριν προχωρήσει σε μια προσπάθεια. Η ψυχολογική υποστήριξη του ζεύγους στο δρόμο για την απόκτηση ενός παιδιού είναι απαραίτητη. Συνήθως οι γιατροί συνιστούν στα ζευγάρια να προσπαθούν για τη πολυπόθητη κύηση περίπου ένα χρόνο – ανάλογα με την ηλικία της γυναίκας και τα θέματα υγείας – και αργότερα να προβαίνουν σε συζήτηση μαζί τους περί υποβοηθούμενης αναπαραγωγής. Εν κατακλείδι, ο απώτερος στόχος της συγκεκριμένης διατριβής είναι να λειτουργήσει σαν καθοδηγητής για τους αναγνώστες, να τους βοηθήσει να κατανοήσουν πλήρως οτιδήποτε σχετίζεται με την υποβοηθούμενη αναπαραγωγή, ούτως ώστε εάν επιθυμούν την έναρξη μιας τέτοιας διαδικασίας, να είναι ολοκληρωτικά ενημερωμένοι και προετοιμασμένοι, με όσο δυνατόν λιγότερες απορίες.
description: The purpose of the thesis is to provide all the necessary information to infertile couples or women who wish to have a child. Every term and definition related to infertility and assisted reproduction is analyzed. The target is all the reasons that can cause infertility, to be thoroughly investigated and where possible to be corrected. The couple should be informed about the procedures of assisted reproduction and realistic success rates, before proceeding with an attempt. On the way of the efford to have a child, the psychological support of the couple is essential. Usually, doctors recommend the couples to make effords for the desired pregnancy for about a year – depending on the woman’s age and health issues – and then discuss with them about assisted reproduction. In conclusion, the ultimate goal of this thesis is to act as a guide for the readers, to help them to fully understand everything related to assisted reproduction, so if someone is interested to start such a process, will be totally informed and prepared, having as few questions as possible.

description: Strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects of heavy $d$-orbital elements have long been neglected in describing the ground states of their compounds thereby overlooking a variety of fascinating and yet unexplored magnetic and electronic states, until recently. The spin-orbit entangled electrons in such compounds can get stabilized into unusual spin-orbit multiplet $J$-states which warrants severe investigations. Here we show using detailed magnetic and thermodynamic studies and theoretical calculations the ground state of Ba$_3$ZnIr$_2$O$_9$, a 6$H$ hexagonal perovskite is a close realisation of the elusive $J$~=~0 state. However, we find that local Ir moments are spontaneously generated due to the comparable energy scales of the singlet-triplet splitting driven by SOC and the superexchange interaction mediated by strong intra-dimer hopping. While the Ir ions within the structural Ir$_2$O$_9$ dimer prefers to form a spin-orbit singlet state (SOS) with no resultant moment, substantial interdimer exchange interactions from a frustrated lattice ensure quantum fluctuations till the lowest measured temperatures and stabilize a spin-orbital liquid phase.

description: The North Carolina Digital Heritage Center's website, DigitalNC.org, has provided access to digitized cultural heritage materials from many small North Carolinian museums and libraries since its inception in 2003. The current website has been in use since that time, and is in sore need of usability analysis prior to a major redesign effort. The current DigitalNC.org site design is the only way for contributing institutions and researchers to access the digitized materials online, making access and use of the website via its design of paramount importance to the NCDHC's mission. No data has been collected about the usability of the site thus far.
This usability study will help to collect data to inform a user-centered redesign of the current DigitalNC.org site. Furthermore, data collected will provide quantitative information to help create a hierarchy of priority for any perceived issues with the current interface. This study was designed using guidelines developed by Jakob Nielsen and Steve Krug. The guidelines developed by these two usability experts were used in this case because they are intended to be implemented in instances when usability testing needs to be inexpensive, iterative, and lean.

description: In the present work we study parameter spaces of two line point configurations introduced by Böröczky. These configurations are extremal from the point of view of Dirac-Motzkin Conjecture settled recently by Green and Tao. They have appeared also recently in commutative algebra in connection with the containment problem for symbolic and ordinary powers of homogeneous ideals and in algebraic geometry in considerations revolving around the Bounded Negativity Conjecture. Our main results are Theorem A and Theorem B. We show that the parameter space of what we call $B12$ configurations is a three dimensional rational variety. As a consequence we derive the existence of a three dimensional family of rational $B12$ configurations. On the other hand the moduli space of $B15$ configurations is shown to be an elliptic curve with only finitely many rational points, all corresponding to degenerate configurations. Thus, somewhat surprisingly, we conclude that there are no rational $B15$ configurations.

description: Fast outflows of gas, driven by the interaction between the radio-jets and ISM of the host galaxy, are being observed in an increasing number of galaxies. One such example is the nearby radio galaxy 3C293. In this paper we present Integral Field Unit (IFU) observations taken with OASIS on the William Herschel Telescope (WHT), enabling us to map the spatial extent of the ionised gas outflows across the central regions of the galaxy. The jet-driven outflow in 3C293 is detected along the inner radio lobes with a mass outflow rate ranging from $\sim 0.05-0.17$ solar masses/yr (in ionised gas) and corresponding kinetic power of $\sim 0.5-3.5\times 10^{40}$ erg/s. Investigating the kinematics of the gas surrounding the radio jets (i.e. not directly associated with the outflow), we find line-widths broader than $300$ km/s up to 5 kpc in the radial direction from the nucleus (corresponding to 3.5 kpc in the direction perpendicular to the radio axis at maximum extent). Along the axis of the radio jet line-widths $>400$ km/s are detected out to 7 kpc from the nucleus and line-widths of $>500$ km/s at a distance of 12 kpc from the nucleus, indicating that the disturbed kinematics clearly extend well beyond the high surface brightness radio structures of the jets. This is suggestive of the cocoon structure seen in simulations of jet-ISM interaction and implies that the radio jets are capable of disturbing the gas throughout the central regions of the host galaxy in all directions.

description: Scaling up to handle big data can be challenging for the Digital Humanities given the often diverse and unpredictable nature of such data. This project proposes a system for automatically harvesting North Carolina city directories by developing a historically-minded parser. City directories vary significantly in format and structure, making the use of a one-size-fits-all approach impossible. Building a smarter parser requires that historical variances be taken into account from the outset. Such an understanding may come from an analysis of directory attributes, including the presence of a header or the connotation of a resident's racial classification. When taken together, these attributes reveal patterns across directory publishers, city locations, and publication years that form the basis of parameters for adjusting the parser to improve overall automatic data extraction. This project demonstrates how applying historical thinking to computational solutions contributes to more effective tools for handling big humanities data.

description: The present paper shows that general relativity in the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formalism admits a BV-BFV formulation. More precisely, for any $d + 1 \not= 2$ (pseudo-) Riemannian manifold M with space-like or time-like boundary components, the BV data on the bulk induces compatible BFV data on the boundary. As a byproduct, the usual canonical formulation of general relativity is recovered in a straightforward way.

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία θα αναφερθούμε στον Μητροπολίτη Κυθήρων Μελέτιο Γαλανόπουλο, έναν εκλεκτό Ιεράρχη και Ποιμένα. Θα γίνει μνεία στον δύσκολο αλλά γεμάτο αυταπάρνηση ποιμαντικής προσφοράς βίο του, και τον τρόπο με τον οποίο κατέστη δυνατό να επιβιώσει κατά την παραμονή του στο γερμανικό στρατόπεδο συγκέντρωσης του Νταχάου, στην διάρκεια του δευτέρου Παγκοσμίου πολέμου, αλλά και πώς σε περιόδους ηρεμίας του έδωσε φώτιση και διαύγεια πνεύματος, προκειμένου να επιτελέσει τα αρχιερατικά καθήκοντα του, προς όφελος της Εκκλησίας. Αρχικά θα γίνει αναφορά στον τόπο καταγωγής του Μαγούλα της Σπάρτης και στην συνέχεια θα ακολουθηθεί με γραμμικό τρόπο η εξέλιξή στην εκκλησιαστική εκπαίδευση, την εκλογή του ως Μητροπολίτης Κυθήρων, την πολυεπίπεδή προσφορά του στο νησί των Κυθήρων, την συμμέτοχή του στην Αριστίνδην Σύνοδο και θα καταλήξουμε στον θάνατό του (30 Μαΐου 1972). Θα σταθούμε στο πλούσιο συγγραφικό του έργο με αναλυτική παρουσίαση κυρίως στα θέματα σχέσεων Πολιτείας Εκκλησίας. Επί της ουσίας θα γίνει μία προσπάθεια μέσα από αυτές τις σελίδες να αποτυπωθεί το μέγεθος ενός Ιεράρχη που διακρίθηκε για την ανιδιοτέλειά του, τον αδαμάντινο χαρακτήρα και την προσφορά του τόσο στην Εκκλησία όσο και στο κοινωνικό σύνολο.

description: Research explores current professional attitudes, applications, and potential impact of linked data in archival repositories, through eight structured interviews with archivists and early adopters of linked data and semantic web practices within the archival community. Interviews evaluate current archival practitioners' perceptions of the benefits and challenges of applying linked data practices to archival description, to examine the current barriers and potential solutions in integrating linked data with archival description. Analysis investigates ways in which linked data and the semantic web may impact archival descriptive practices and user experience in accessing archival materials, and ways to facilitate greater engagement with linked data within the archival community.

description: Δεν είναι λίγες οι περιπτώσεις όπου η ιστορία της ανθρωπότητας έχει αλλάξει άρδην και η καθημερινή ζωή των πολιτών δεν ήταν ποτέ ίδια ξανά. Πόλεμοι, επαναστάσεις, οικονομικές κρίσεις και πολλά άλλα κοινωνικά φαινόμενα διαμορφώνουν τις ζωές των ανθρώπων με τρόπο, πολλές φορές απόλυτο. Έτσι και μια πανδημία όπως αυτή της COVID-19 επηρέασε την ανθρωπότητα όσο λίγα γεγονότα του 21ου αιώνα. Η σημασία τέτοιων μέγα γεγονότων και η επιπτώσεις του στην κοινωνία και στον τρόπου που λειτουργεί και αντιμετωπίζει τέτοιες καταστάσεις είναι σίγουρα πολυεπίπεδη. Έτσι κρίθηκε αναγκαίο να μελετηθεί η επικοινωνιολογική πλευρά αυτού του φαινομένου καθώς η ανθρωπότητα σε τέτοιες στιγμές στρέφεται στην δημοσιογραφία για να καταλάβει και να αποκτήσει άποψη πάνω σε τόσο περίπλοκα ιστορικά γεγονότα. Γι’ αυτό το τον λόγο η συγκεκριμένη εργασία επικεντρώθηκε στο τρόπο με τον οποίον μεγάλα μέσα (The New York Times, Guardian, Al Jazeera English, China Daily), μέσω των άρθρων γνώμης τους πρώτους μήνες της πανδημίας πλαισίωσαν το θέμα. Όμως, όπως και σε κάθε άλλη κρίση, έτσι και σε αυτή η αύξηση των ανισοτήτων είναι αναπόφευκτη γι’ αυτό ερευνητικά θεωρήθηκε ενδιαφέρον να μελετηθεί η πλαισίωση που υπάρχει για την πανδημία συγκεκριμένα στον Παγκόσμιο Νότο. Μελετήθηκαν σχεδόν 110 άρθρα γνώμης και τα αποτελέσματα κατηγοριοποιήθηκαν και συγκρίθηκαν με αντίστοιχες έρευνες.
description: There are many instances where human history has changed abruptly and the citizen’s everyday life were not the same any more. War, revolutions, financial crises and many other social phenomena, shape our life in way that many times is definite and irreversible. This is what happened with 2019 COVID pandemic that changes humanity like few 21st century events. The importance of these mega events and their consequences to society and the way that faces them are multifaceted. This was the reason that it was deemed important to study the communicational side of the pandemic, given that humanity always turns to journalism to make sense and create an opinion in such convoluted events. This thesis was focused on the way that big media(The New York Times, Guardian, Al Jazeera English, China Daily), through their opinion pieces, at the first months of the pandemic, framed the issue. But, just like any other crisis, the rise on inequality is inevitable thus it was considered interesting to study the framing of the pandemic specifically in opinion articles that are dealing with the Global South. Almost one hundred and ten opinion articles where analyzed and the categorized results were compered and contrasted with similar studies.

description: Aims: Although the time of the Maunder minimum (1645--1715) is widely known as a period of extremely low solar activity, claims are still debated that solar activity during that period might still have been moderate, even higher than the current solar cycle #24. We have revisited all the existing pieces of evidence and datasets, both direct and indirect, to assess the level of solar activity during the Maunder minimum. Methods: We discuss the East Asian naked-eye sunspot observations, the telescopic solar observations, the fraction of sunspot active days, the latitudinal extent of sunspot positions, auroral sightings at high latitudes, cosmogenic radionuclide data as well as solar eclipse observations for that period. We also consider peculiar features of the Sun (very strong hemispheric asymmetry of sunspot location, unusual differential rotation and the lack of the K-corona) that imply a special mode of solar activity during the Maunder minimum. Results: The level of solar activity during the Maunder minimum is reassessed on the basis of all available data sets. Conclusions: We conclude that solar activity was indeed at an exceptionally low level during the Maunder minimum. Although the exact level is still unclear, it was definitely below that during the Dalton minimum around 1800 and significantly below that of the current solar cycle #24. Claims of a moderate-to-high level of solar activity during the Maunder minimum are rejected at a high confidence level.

description: This thesis presents the development of new functionality for the open-source rsync utility aimed at producing an efficient, scalable solution for multiple-site file synchronization.  The context of our work is the Internet2 Distributed Storage Infrastructure (I2-DSI) project, which is developing a reliable, scalable, high performance storage service infrastructure for advanced applications in research and education.  Specifically, the I2-DSI project is working on middleware software to enable the replication of applications across a set of geographically distributed hosts.  This thesis presents a new mechanism for replicating filesystems, rsync+, which is a modification of an open-source rsync file synchronization utility.  Using rsync+ for file updates, a flexible, powerful replication mechanism can be developed for publishing source objects into the I2-DSI replication service, and the approach enable scalable network distribution through multicast-based solutions.  The thesis presents the technical details behind the rsync+ tool, its use as a replication solution within I2-DSI, and performance results from a large-scale (multi-gigabyte) WWW mirroring experiment using rsync+ that demonstrates correct operation and efficiency gains with actual data from an active WWW document archive.

description: This paper examines the current state of organizational diversity and diversity research, with a particular focus on the library science profession. It begins with a definition of diversity and an examination of the demographic and functional characteristics frequently studied by diversity researchers, followed by an explanation of the three main theoretical categories of diversity. A review of the literature on diversity provides the basis for a discussion of the impact of diversity on organizations and the potential positive and negative impacts that result from organizational diversity. This discussion of the general literature on diversity informs a review of the library science research literature and an analysis of the present state of diversity in libraries. Finally, the paper concludes with recommendations regarding important areas for further research.
Fermionic T-Duality of $AdS_n \times S^n (\times S^n) \times T^m$ using IIA Supergravity

description: We show that the string backgrounds AdS2 x S2 x T6 and AdSd x Sd x Sd x T{10 - 3d} (d = 2, 3) are self-dual under a series of bosonic and fermionic T-dualities. We do this using the fermionic Buscher rules derived by Berkovits and Maldacena, thus working at the level of the supergravity fields. This allows us to explicitly track the behaviour of the RR fields, from which we see that we need T-duality along some torus directions. For the AdS x S x S cases, which contain cosets of D(2,1;alpha), it is necessary to perform bosonic T-duality along some complexified Killing spinors in one of the spheres.
