description: The mass and width of the W boson are measured using e+e- -> W+W- events from the data sample collected by the OPAL experiment at LEP at centre-of-mass energies between 170 GeV and 209 GeV. The mass (mw) and width (gw) are determined using direct reconstruction of the kinematics of W+W- -> qqbarlv and W+W- -> qqbarqqbar events. When combined with previous OPAL measurements using W+W- -> lvlv events and the dependence on mw of the WW production cross-section at threshold, the results are determined to be mw = 80.415 +- 0.042 +- 0.030 +- 0.009 GeV gw = 1.996 +- 0.096 +- 0.102 +- 0.003 GeV where the first error is statistical, the second systematic and the third due to uncertainties in the value of the LEP beam energy. By measuring mw with several different jet algorithms in the qqbarqqbar channel, a limit is also obtained on possible final-state interactions due to colour reconnection effects in W+W- -> qqbarqqbar events. The consistency of the results for the W mass and width with those inferred from other electroweak parameters provides an important test of the Standard Model of electroweak interactions

description: We analyse the phenomenological effects of a varying Dark Energy (DE) effective speed of sound parameter, $c^{2}_{\textrm{sd}}$, on the cosmological perturbations of three phantom DE models. Each of these models induce a particular abrupt future event known as Big Rip (BR), Little Rip (LR), and Little Sibling of the Big Rip (LSBR). In this class of abrupt events, all the bound structures in the Universe would be ripped apart at a finite cosmic time. We compute the evolution of the perturbations, $fσ_{8}$ growth rate and forecast the current matter power spectrum. We vary the $c^{2}_{\textrm{sd}}$ parameter in the interval $[0,1]$ and compute the relative deviation with respect $c^{2}_{\textrm{sd}}=1$. In addition, we analyse the effect of gravitational potential sign flip that occurs at very large scale factors as compared with the current one.

description: Some time ago Takahashi derived so called {\it transverse} relations relating Green's functions of different orders to complement the well-known Ward-Green-Takahashi identities of gauge theories by considering wedge rather than inner products. These transverse relations have the potential to determine the full fermion-boson vertex in terms of the renormalization functions of the fermion propagator. He & Yu have given an indicative proof at one-loop level in 4-dimensions. However, their construct involves the 4th rank Levi-Civita tensor defined only unambiguously in 4-dimensions exactly where the loop integrals diverge. Consequently, here we explicitly check the proposed transverse Ward-Takahashi relation holds at one loop order in $d$-dimensions, with $d=4+ε$.

description: Infectious livestock disease creates externalities for proximate animal production enterprises. The distribution of production scale within a region should influence and be influenced by these disease externalities. Taking the distribution of the unit costs of stocking an animal as primitive, we show that an increase in the variance of these unit costs reduces consumer surplus. The effect on producer surplus, total surplus, and animal concentration across feedlots depends on the demand elasticity. A subsidy to smaller herds can reduce social welfare and immiserize the farm sector by increasing the extent of disease. While Nash behavior involves excessive stocking, disease effects can be such that aggregate output declines relative to first-best. Disease externalities can induce more adoption of a cost-reducing technology by larger herds so that animals become more concentrated across herds. For strategic reasons, excess overall adoption of the innovation may occur. Larger herds are also more likely to adopt biosecurity innovations, explaining why larger herds may be less diseased in equilibrium.

In dieser Masterarbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern die Begleitung durch die Heilpädagogische Früherziehung (HFE) im Kinderspital einen Einfluss auf das Kompetenzerleben der Eltern in Bezug auf die Entwicklungsunterstützung ihres Kindes hat. Zur Datenerhebung wurden Eltern und eine Fachperson der HFE mittels semistrukturierten Interviews befragt. Die Aussagen wurden anhand einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet und mit dem aktuellen Forschungsstand verglichen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Begleitung durch die HFE während der Hospitalisation das elterliche Kompetenzerleben massgeblich stärken, deren Zutrauen in ihr Kind positiv beeinflussen und somit eine präventive Wirkung haben kann.
Static Versus Dynamic Friction: The Role of Coherence

description: A simple model for solid friction is analyzed. It is based on tangential springs representing interlocked asperities of the surfaces in contact. Each spring is given a maximal strain according to a probability distribution. At their maximal strain the springs break irreversibly. Initially all springs are assumed to have zero strain, because at static contact local elastic stresses are expected to relax. Relative tangential motion of the two solids leads to a loss of coherence of the initial state: The springs get out of phase due to differences in their sizes. This mechanism alone is shown to lead to a difference between static and dynamic friction forces already. We find that in this case the ratio of the static and dynamic coefficients decreases with increasing relative width of the probability distribution, and has a lower bound of 1 and an upper bound of 2.

ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF THE EXCHANGE RATE AND ITS VOLATILITY ON CANADIAN PORK AND LIVE SWINE EXPORTS TO THE UNITED STATES AND JAPAN

description: A model of a representative Canadian pork exporter is developed to examine the impacts of the exchange rate and its volatility on pork and live swine exports. The pork export supply equation is expressed as a function of the expected level of real exchange rate and a time-varying variance of real exchange rate. An AR(p) model is used to represent the expected real exchange rate, and a GARCH(p, q) model is used to generate the time-varying variance. The same model is used to examine the sensitivity of pork exports to Japan from Canada, the United States, and Denmark. The parameters of all pork and live swine export equations have theoretically consistent signs and many are significant. That is, the domestic price in the exporting country has a negative effect on exports because it is a major input price in the exporter's cost function while the price in the market of destination has a positive effect. The level of the exchange rate has a positive impact on pork exports while the volatility of the exchange rate has a negative impact. Most of the volatility parameters are not significant.

description: Meat retailers and processors express demand for a more uniform product, and technical innovations are allowing an increasingly uniform supply. Meat packers can promote uniformity through pre-slaughter sorting, or earlier through contractual procurement. Emphasizing human error and the efficacy of effort on the packing line, we develop a model whereby packers gain from expanding revenue and reducing processing costs when exogenously determined carcass uniformity increases. Line speed and occupational risk increase with uniformity. Whether optimally regulated or not, equilibrium food safety can decline with increased uniformity. Effort-saving automation also will have an adverse effect on occupational safety, and may have this effect on equilibrium food safety. Under endogenously chosen carcass uniformity, a line speed regulation may not support first-best because it distorts grower-level technology adoption incentives. We also provide a precise ordering on pre-slaughter lot sorts such that packing line capital efficiency increases.
Dynamics of the condensate in zero-range processes

description: For stochastic processes leading to condensation, the condensate, once it is formed, performs an ergodic stationary-state motion over the system. We analyse this motion, and especially its characteristic time, for zero-range processes. The characteristic time is found to grow with the system size much faster than the diffusive timescale, but not exponentially fast. This holds both in the mean-field geometry and on finite-dimensional lattices. In the generic situation where the critical mass distribution follows a power law, the characteristic time grows as a power of the system size.

description: In this article we propose a simple model which can provide a combined explanation of the $Z\to b\bar b$ forward-backward asymmetry, the Cabibbo Angle Anomaly (CAA), $τ\toμνν$ and $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ data. This model is obtained by extending the Standard Model (SM) by two heavy vector-like quarks (an $SU(2)_L$ doublet (singlet) with hypercharge $-5/6$ (-1/3)), two new scalars (a neutral and a singly charged one) and a gauged $L_μ-L_τ$ symmetry. The mixing of the new quarks with the SM ones, after electroweak symmetry breaking, does not only explain $Z\to b\bar b$ data but also generates a lepton flavour universal contribution to $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions. Together with the lepton flavour universality violating effect, generated by loop-induced $Z^\prime$ penguins involving the charged scalar and the heavy quarks, it gives an excellent fit to data ($6.1\,σ$ better than the SM). Furthermore, the charged scalar (neutral vector) gives a necessarily constructive tree-level (loop) effect in $μ\to eνν$ ($τ\to μνν$), which can naturally account for the CAA (${\rm Br}[τ\toμνν]/{\rm Br}[τ\to eνν]$ and ${\rm Br}[τ\toμνν]/{\rm Br}[μ\to eνν]$).

description: The fluctuations in thermodynamic and transport properties in many-body systems gain importance as the number of constituent particles is reduced. Ultracold atomic gases provide a clean setting for the study of mesoscopic systems; however, the detection of temporal fluctuations is hindered by the typically destructive detection, precluding repeated precise measurements on the same sample. Here, we overcome this hindrance by utilizing the enhanced light--matter coupling in an optical cavity to perform a minimally invasive continuous measurement and track the time evolution of the atom number in a quasi two-dimensional atomic gas during evaporation from a tilted trapping potential. We demonstrate sufficient measurement precision to detect atom number fluctuations well below the level set by Poissonian statistics. Furthermore, we characterize the non-linearity of the evaporation process and the inherent fluctuations of the transport of atoms out of the trapping volume through two-time correlations of the atom number. Our results establish coupled atom--cavity systems as a novel testbed for observing thermodynamics and transport phenomena in mesosopic cold atomic gases and, generally, pave the way for measuring multi-time correlation functions of ultracold quantum gases.

State of the field: Binary black hole natal kicks and prospects for isolated field formation after GWTC-2

description: Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo's newly-released GWTC-2 catalog of gravitational-wave detections offers unprecedented information about the spin magnitudes and orientations of merging binary black holes (BBHs). Notably, analysis of the BBH population suggests the presence of binaries whose component spins are significantly misaligned with respect to their orbital angular momenta. Significantly misaligned spins are typically predicted to be at odds with isolated field formation via standard common envelope (CE) evolution, and hence a "smoking gun" signature of dynamical binary formation inside dense stellar clusters. Here, we explore whether the LIGO/Virgo observation of spin-orbit misalignment indeed rules out the possibility that BBHs are formed entirely in the field via standard CE evolution. In particular, we seek to understand whether, by varying the natal kicks black holes receive upon formation, we can invoke the CE scenario to self-consistently explain both the observed spin distribution and merger rate of BBHs. We find that, if isolated black holes are born with small natal spins, then BBHs formed through CE require extreme natal kicks to match the observed BBH population, with a velocity dispersion $σ= 9.7^{+26.7}_{-5.9}\times10^2\,\mathrm{km}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}$ and $σ>260\,\mathrm{km}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}$ at 99% credibility. To avoid this condition, we argue that it is necessary to assume that isolated black holes are born with non-vanishing natal spins, that one or more alternative channels contribute to the observed BBH population, and/or that other unforeseen mechanisms serve to yield large spin-orbit misalignment in the field.

description: Pathogen-mediated competition, through which an invasive species carrying and transmitting a pathogen can be a superior competitor to a more vulnerable resident species, is one of the principle driving forces influencing biodiversity in nature. Using an experimental system of bacteriophage-mediated competition in bacterial populations and a deterministic model, we have shown in [Joo et al 2005] that the competitive advantage conferred by the phage depends only on the relative phage pathology and is independent of the initial phage concentration and other phage and host parameters such as the infection-causing contact rate, the spontaneous and infection-induced lysis rates, and the phage burst size. Here we investigate the effects of stochastic fluctuations on bacterial invasion facilitated by bacteriophage, and examine the validity of the deterministic approach. We use both numerical and analytical methods of stochastic processes to identify the source of noise and assess its magnitude. We show that the conclusions obtained from the deterministic model are robust against stochastic fluctuations, yet deviations become prominently large when the phage are more pathological to the invading bacterial strain.

description: Experimental observations have long-established that there exists a smooth roll-off or knee transition between the temperature-limited (TL) and full-space-charge-limited (FSCL) emission regions of the emission current density-temperature J-T (Miram) curve, or the emission current density-voltage J-V curve for a thermionic emission cathode. In this paper, we demonstrate that this experimentally observed smooth transition does not require frequently used a priori assumptions of a continuous distribution of work functions on the cathode surface. Instead, we find the smooth transition arises as a natural consequence of the physics of nonuniform thermionic emission from a spatially heterogeneous cathode surface. We obtain this smooth transition for both J-T and J-V curves using a predictive nonuniform thermionic emission model that includes 3-D space charge, patch fields (electrostatic potential nonuniformity on the cathode surface based on local work function values), and Schottky barrier lowering physics and illustrate that a smooth knee can arise from a thermionic cathode surface with as few as two discrete work function values. Importantly, we find that the inclusion of patch field effects is crucial for obtaining accurate J-T and J-V curves, and the further inclusion of Schottky barrier lowering is needed for accurate J-V curves. This finding, and the emission model provided in this paper have important implications for modeling electron emission from realistic, heterogeneous surfaces. Such modeling is important for improved understanding of the interplay of emission physics, cathode materials engineering, and design of numerous devices employing electron emission cathodes.

description: Genetically engineered Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) corn provides farmers with a new tool for controlling the European corn borer (ECB). The high efficacy and potential rapid adoption of Bt corn has raised concerns that the ECB will develop resistance to Bt. The Environmental Protection Agency has responded to these concerns by requiring farmers to plant refuge corn. Current refuge requirements are based on models that do not consider the value of dynamically varying refuge in response to increased scarcity and diminished control over time or the importance of backstop technologies currently being developed. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate dynamically optimal refuge requirements with the arrival of alternative backstop technologies and to compare the results to an optimal static refuge policy. The results show that a dynamically optimal refuge requirement only provides modest benefits above a static optimum. The results also show how the type of backstop technology and characteristics of ECB population dynamics affect the optimal refuge requirement.

description: The study develops a conceptual framework for analyzing the allocation of conservation funds via selectively offering incentive payments to farmers for enrolling in one of two mutually exclusive agricultural conservation programs: retiring land from production or changing farming practices on land that remains in production. We investigate how the existence of a pre-fixed budget allocation between the programs affects the amounts of environmental benefits obtainable under alternative policy implementation schemes. The framework is applied to a major agricultural production region using field-scale data in conjunction with empirical models of land retirement and conservation tillage adoption, and a biophysical process simulation model for the environmental benefits of carbon sequestration and reduction in soil erosion.

description: Discovering new topological phases of matter is a major theme in fundamental physics and materials science. Dirac semimetal provides an exceptional platform for exploring topological phase transitions under symmetry breaking. Recent theoretical studies have revealed that a three-dimensional Dirac semimetal can harbor fascinating hinge states, a higher-order topological manifestation not known before. However, its realization in experiment is yet to be achieved. In this Letter, we propose a minimum model to construct a spinless higher-order Dirac semimetal protected by C_6v symmetry. By breaking different symmetries, this parent phase transitions into a variety of novel topological phases including higher-order topological insulator, higher-order Weyl semimetal, and higher-order nodal-ring semimetal. Furthermore, for the first time, we experimentally realize this unprecedented higher-order topological phase in a sonic crystal and present an unambiguous observation of the desired hinge states via momentun-space spectroscopy and real-space visualization. Our findings may offer new opportunities to manipulate classical waves such as sound and light.

description: The efficiency of redistribution of a government provided revenue insurance program is compared with the 1990 farm program. The results indicate the revenue insurance would be more efficient because it would provide subsidies when and only when revenue is low and marginal utility is high, and it works on the component of the objective function (revenue) that is of greatest relevance to producers. Simulation results indicate that a revenue insurance scheme that guarantees 75 percent of expected revenue to risk-averse producers could provide approximately the same level of benefits as the 1990 program, at as little as one-fourth the cost.

description: We propose a method for deterministic implantation of single atoms into solids which relies on a linear ion trap as an ion source. Our approach allows a deterministic control of the number of implanted atoms and a spatial resolution of less than 1 nm. Furthermore, the method is expected to work for almost all hemical elements. The deterministic implantation of single phosphor or nitrogen atoms is interesting for the fabrication of scalable solid state quantum computers, in particular for silicon and diamond based schemes. A wide range of further applications is expected for the fabrication of nano and sub-nano electric devices.

Replication of mutant herpes simplex virus type 1 in human prostate and nonprostate cancer cells under the control of the probasin promoter

description: The use of tissue- or tumor-selective promoters in targeted gene therapy for prostate cancer depends on strong and selective activity. The -426 to +28 bp probasin (PB) promoter has the potential to target selected genes to the prostatic epithelial cells. We showed that in the assay of luciferase reporter gene driven by PB promoter, activation of luciferase expression was 1.5-fold increase in human prostate cancer cell LNCaP relative to non-small cell lung cancer cell H460. Significant increase of luciferase activity was observed in both cell lines when infection with ICP27 (-) HSV-1 was added to PBluciferase plasmid transfected LNCaP and H460 cells. In addition, an expression vector (PB-ICP27) was generated in which one of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) immediate early (IE) genes required for viral replication~ICP27 was regulated by PB promoter. This vector was transfected into LNCaP, H460 and one other nonprostate cancer cell HepG2 (hepatoma), the cell lines were then infected with ICP27 (-) HSV-1 and resulting viral stock from these cells were used to infect ICP27 expression 2-2 cell. The plaque yields from infected 2-2 cells were counted and reflected the production of ICP27 (-) HSV-1 replication in PB-ICP27 vector transfected cells that can express ICP27 protein. Although we found that the profound viral replication was observed in LNCaP cells compared to that of HepG2 cells, the production of viral replication in H460 cells was surprisingly significant higher than that in LNCaP cells and was contrasted to our PB-driven luciferase assay result. Our study demonstrates that (1). -426 to +28 bp PB promoter shows relative tissue-specific activity; (2). Infection with ICP27 (-) HSV-1 can enhance the expression levels of reporter gene driven by PB promoter and ICP27 (-) HSV-1 can only replicate in the cells expressing ICP27 protein; (3). The vector construct containing ICP27 gene driven by PB promoter may not be an ideal delivery system for the purpose of prostate tissue-specific gene expression.

description: In a Rabi oscillation experiment with a superconducting qubit we show that a visibility in the qubit excited state population of more than 90 % can be attained. We perform a dispersive measurement of the qubit state by coupling the qubit non-resonantly to a transmission line resonator and probing the resonator transmission spectrum. The measurement process is well characterized and quantitatively understood. The qubit coherence time is determined to be larger than 500 ns in a measurement of Ramsey fringes.

Closed-form Brückner $G$-matrix and nuclear matter in EFT($\not\!π$)

description: The closed-form Brükner $G$ matrix for nuclear matter is computed in the $^1S_0$ channel of EFT($\not\!\!π$) and renormalized in nonperturbative context. The nuclear medium environment yields additional constraints that are consistent with off-shell $T$ matrix renormalization, keeping the power counting intact and simplifying the running behaviors of the EFT couplings. With the $G$ obtained we computed the energy per particle for neutron and symmetric nuclear matter to demonstrate the physical relevance of certain 'physical' parameters that arise from nonperturbative renormalization. We also explored the pairing phenomenon in $^1S_0$ channel by examining the poles of the closed-form $G$ matrix with a given density, where again the physical relevance of the same set of physical parameters are clearly illustrated.

description: We prove an asymptotic crystallization result in two dimensions for a class of nonlocal particle systems. To be precise, we consider the best approximation with respect to the 2-Wasserstein metric of a given absolutely continuous probability measure $f \mathrm{d}x$ by a discrete probability measure $\sum_i m_i δ_{z_i}$, subject to a constraint on the particle sizes $m_i$. The locations $z_i$ of the particles, their sizes $m_i$, and the number of particles are all unknowns of the problem. We study a one-parameter family of constraints. This is an example of an optimal location problem (or an optimal sampling or quantization problem) and it has applications in economics, signal compression, and numerical integration. We establish the asymptotic minimum value of the (rescaled) approximation error as the number of particles goes to infinity. In particular, we show that for the constrained best approximation of the Lebesgue measure by a discrete measure, the discrete measure whose support is a triangular lattice is asymptotically optimal. In addition, we prove an analogous result for a problem where the constraint is replaced by a penalization. These results can also be viewed as the asymptotic optimality of the hexagonal tiling for an optimal partitioning problem. They generalise the crystallization result of Bourne, Peletier and Theil (Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2014) from a single particle system to a class of particle systems, and prove a case of a conjecture by Bouchitté, Jimenez and Mahadevan (Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées, 2011). Finally, we prove a crystallization result which states that optimal configurations with energy close to that of a triangular lattice are geometrically close to a triangular lattice.

description: Spin-pumping across ferromagnet/superconductor (F/S) interfaces has attracted much attention lately. Yet the focus has been mainly on s-wave superconductors-based systems whereas (high-temperature) d-wave superconductors such as YBa2Cu3O7-d (YBCO) have received scarce attention despite their fundamental and technological interest. Here we use wideband ferromagnetic resonance to study spin-pumping effects in bilayers that combine a soft metallic Ni80Fe20 (Py) ferromagnet and YBCO. We evaluate the spin conductance in YBCO by analyzing the magnetization dynamics in Py. We find that the Gilbert damping exhibits a drastic drop as the heterostructures are cooled across the normal-superconducting transition and then, depending on the S/F interface morphology, either stays constant or shows a strong upturn. This unique behavior is explained considering quasiparticle density of states at the YBCO surface, and is a direct consequence of zero-gap nodes for particular directions in the momentum space. Besides showing the fingerprint of d-wave superconductivity in spin-pumping, our results demonstrate the potential of high-temperature superconductors for fine tuning of the magnetization dynamics in ferromagnets using k-space degrees of freedom of d-wave/F interfaces.

Diaspora Indonesia
HUT RI ke 75
Bela Negara
Indonesia Maju

description: Sejak sebelum Indonesia merdeka, diaspora Nusantara yang tinggal di Eropa sudah mempunyai jiwa nasionalisme dan berperan aktif dalam bela negara. Mohammad Hatta, Soetan Sjahrir, dan kawan-kawan adalah contoh diaspora di kalangan mahasiswa di Belanda yang ketika itu memotori organisasi “Perhimpoenan Indonesia (PI)”. Mereka motor transformasi Indische Vereeninging yang awalnya organisasi yang hanya berfungsi social dan informatif menjadi organisasi yang secara eksplisit memperjuangkan kemerdekaan Indonesia dan mempopulerkan kata “Indonesia” sebagai kata pemersatu masyarakat Nusantara. Tidak hanya di Belanda, diaspora Nusantara di negara Eropa lain, seperti Sam Ratulangi, seorang mahasiswa yang belajar di Zürich, juga bertransformasi dari berjiwa kesukuan Minahasa menjadi berjiwa nasionalisme Indonesia. Dan tidak hanya mahasiswa, diaspora yang menetap lama di Eropa pun juga mengambil peran dalam perjuangan menuju kemerdekaan Indonesia, seperti Usman Idris, akademisi di Universitas Hamburg yang lahir di Minangkabau dan Sosrokartono, wartawan asal Jawa yang bekerja di Wina. Webinar kali ini akan mendiskusikan perspektif dan peran diaspora Indonesia di Jerman dari kalangan mahasiswa dan profesional dalam bela negara, setelah 75 tahun Indonesia merdeka atau hampir seabad setelah tokoh-tokoh tersebut mengambil peran mereka di Eropa. Webinar kali ini akan menghadirkan Dr. Ir. Zainal Abidin, praktisi pendidikan dari Indonesia yang memiliki segudang pengalaman dalam pengembangan konsep pendidikan bela negara di tingkat perguruan tinggi. Diaspora professional akan diwakili oleh dr. Prasti Pomarius, seorang dokter di Jerman yang meluangkan waktu senggangnya untuk memperkenalkan budaya Indonesia di Jerman serta terjun ke Indonesia untuk meningkatkan layanan kesehatan di pelosok-pelosok. Mas Mochammad Mirza Ilham Tontowi, seorang mahasiswa di TU Berlin yang juga aktif di kegiatan kemahasiswaan sebagai ketua PCI PMII Jerman, akan menyampaikan perspektifnya tentang bela negara sebagai seorang yang belum pernah mencicipi pendidikan tinggi di Indonesia. Webinar akan menghadirkan Kyai Syaeful Fatah dan Pendeta Favor Bancin untuk meninjau konsep bela negara dari perspektif agama. Akan menarik disimak apakah persepsi diaspora professional dan mahasiswa yang hampir tidak pernah mendapatkan materi pendidikan tinggi bela negara, selaras dengan konsep bela negara yang dikembangkan praktisi pendidikan Indonesia.
