B-> D* zero-recoil formfactor and the heavy quark expansion in QCD: a systematic study

description: We present a QCD analysis of heavy quark mesons focussing on the B -> D* formfactor at zero recoil, F_D*(1). An advanced treatment of the perturbative corrections in the Wilsonian approach is presented. We estimate the higher-order power corrections to the OPE sum rule and describe a refined analysis of the nonresonant continuum contribution. In the framework of a model-independent approach, we show that the inelastic contribution in the phenomenological part of the OPE is related to the mQ-dependence of the hyperfine splitting and conclude that the former is large, lowering the prediction for F_D*(1) down to about 0.86. This likewise implies an enhanced yield of radial and D-wave charm excitations in semileptonic B decays and alleviates the problem with the inclusive yield of the wide excited states. We also apply the approach to the expectation values of dimension 7 and 8 local operators and to a few other issues in the heavy quark expansion.

description: While 2.5 quintillion bytes of data were produced every day in 2021, this number is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. With the constantly increasing flow of data, organisations, particularly those in the Global South, are struggling to process, structure, use, and share the data produced leading to missed opportunities and inability to track progress and monitor successes and failures. Graph databases can help prevent poor-quality data with standardization and connected data.

Exploring Particle Acceleration in Gamma-Ray Binaries

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Binary systems can be powerful sources of non-thermal emission from radio to gamma rays. When the latter are detected, then these objects are known as gamma-ray binaries. In this work, we explore, in the context of gamma-ray binaries, different acceleration processes to estimate their efficiency: Fermi I, Fermi II, shear acceleration, the converter mechanism, and magnetic reconnection. We find that Fermi I acceleration in a mildly relativistic shock can provide, although marginally, the multi-10 TeV particles required to explain observations. Shear acceleration may be a complementary mechanism, giving particles the final boost to reach such a high energies. Fermi II acceleration may be too slow to account for the observed very high energy photons, but may be suitable to explain extended low-energy emission. The converter mechanism seems to require rather high Lorentz factors but cannot be discarded a priori. Standard relativistic shock acceleration requires a highly turbulent, weakly magnetized downstream medium; magnetic reconnection, by itself possibly insufficient to reach very high energies, could perhaps facilitate such a conditions. Further theoretical developments, and a better source characterization, are needed to pinpoint the dominant acceleration mechanism, which need not be one and the same in all sources.

description: The $α$-decay chain of $^{293}$118, first proposed in the Berkeley cold fusion experiment $^{208}$Pb($^{86}$Kr,1n) and now retracted, is calculated by using the preformed cluster model (PCM) of one of us (RKG). Also, the possible branchings of $α$-particles to heavier cluster decays of all the parents in this chain are calculated for the first time. The calculated Q-values, penetrabilities and preformation factors for $α$-decays suggest that the $^{285}$114 nucleus with Z=114, N=171 is a magic nucleus, either due to the magicity of Z=114, or of N=172 or of both. The N=172 is proposed to be a magic number in certain relativistic mean-field calculations, but with Z=120. The calculated cluster decays point to new interesting possibilities of $^{14}$C decay of the $^{281}$112 parent, giving rise to a (reasonably) deformed Z=106, N=161, $^{267}$106 daughter (N=162 being now established as the deformed magic shell) or to a doubly magic $^{48}$Ca cluster emitted from any of the parent nucleus in the $α$-decay chain. Apparently, these are exciting new directions for future experiments.

description: (Abridged) Galaxies with polar rings (PRGs) are a unique class of extragalactic objects allowing to investigate a wide range of problems, linked with the formation and evolution of galaxies, and to study the properties of their dark haloes. The progress in the study of PRGs is constrained by a small number of known objects of this type. Up to date, we can only attribute about two dozens of kinematically-confirmed galaxies to this class, mostly from Whitmore et al. (1990) catalogue. We present a new catalogue of PRGs based on the results of the original Galaxy Zoo project. Based on the preliminary classification of the Galaxy Zoo, we viewed more than 40000 images of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and selected 275 galaxies, included in our catalogue. Our Sloan-based Polar Ring Catalog (SPRC) contains 70 galaxies that we classified as "the best candidates", among which we expect to have a very high proportion of true PRGs, and 115 good PRG candidates. 53 galaxies are classified as PRG related objects.We identified 37 galaxies that have their presumed polar rings seen almost face-on. The SPRC objects are on the average fainter and located further away than the galaxies from the catalog by Whitmore et al., although our catalogue does include dozens of new nearby candidate PRGs. The new catalogue significantly increases the number of genuine PRG candidates, and may serve as a good basis both for the further detailed study of individual galaxies, and for the statistical analysis of PRGs as a separate class of objects. We performed spectroscopic observations of six galaxies from the SPRC at the 6-m telescope. The existence of polar rings was confirmed in five galaxies, and one object appeared to be a projection of a pair of galaxies. Adding the literature data, we can already classify 10 galaxies from our catalogue to the kinematically-confirmed PRGs.

description: Abstract

The Generative Simple Dictionary Transformer (GSDT) model introduces a novel approach to language understanding in artificial intelligence (AI). By starting with a limited "Simple Dictionary" of core words and leveraging the principles of Neural Matrix Synaptic Resonance Networks (NM-SRNs), GSDT aims to achieve efficient and robust language comprehension with reduced computational cost and enhanced explainability. This paper details the GSDT architecture, including its core components, learning mechanisms, and potential applications. We explore the integration of a "universal machine-learning dictionary" (UMLDic) as a learning tool and discuss the synergistic relationship between GSDT and Large Language Models (LLMs). The GSDT architecture represents a promising step toward developing AI systems that can learn and understand language with human-like efficiency and adaptability.

description: A standard planetary nebula stays more than 10 000 years in the state of a photoionized nebula. As long as the timescales of the most important ionizing processes are much smaller, the ionization state can be characterized by a static photoionization model and simulated with codes like CLOUDY (Ferland et al. 1998). When the star exhibits a late Helium flash, however, its ionizing flux stops within a very short period. The star then re-appears from itsopaque shell after a few years (or centuries) as a cold giant star without any hard ionizing photons. Describing the physics of such behavior requires a fully time-dependent radiative transfer model. Pollacco (1999), Kerber et al. (1999) and Lechner & Kimeswenger (2004) used data of the old nebulae around V605 Aql and V4334 Sgr to derive a model of the pre-outburst state of the CSPN in a static model. Their argument was the long recombination time scale for such thin media. With regard to these models Schoenberner (2008) critically raised the question whether a significant change in the ionization state (and thus the spectrum) has to be expected after a time of up to 80 years, and whether static models are applicable at all.

description: In order to describe the exotic nuclear structure in unstable odd-$A$ or odd-odd nuclei, the deformed relativistic Hartree Bogoliubov theory in continuum has been extended to incorporate the blocking effect due to the odd nucleon. For a microscopic and self-consistent description of pairing correlations, continuum, deformation, blocking effects, and the extended spatial density distribution in exotic nuclei, the deformed relativistic Hartree Bogoliubov equations are solved in a Woods-Saxon basis in which the radial wave functions have a proper asymptotic behavior at large $r$. The formalism and numerical details are provided. The code is checked by comparing the results with those of spherical relativistic continuum Hartree Bogoliubov theory in the nucleus $^{19}$O. The prolate deformed nucleus $^{15}$C is studied by examining the neutron levels and density distributions.

After discussing the Standard Model predictions and carefully estimating the theoretical errors, we show the constraining power of these observables in CMSSM and NUHM. The latest limit on BR(Bs -> mu+mu-), being very close to the SM prediction, constrains strongly the large tan(beta) regime and we show that the various angular observables from B -> K* mu+mu- decay can provide complementary information in particular for moderate tan(beta) values.

This approach enables the determination of the probability distributions of various physical quantities, such as the superfluid order parameter, the average site occupation number, the standard deviation of the occupation per site and the square of the spin operator per site. We show how a stochastic method, previously used in the study of localization, can be flexibly used to solve the relevant equations with great accuracy. We have determined the phase diagram, which exhibits three phases: the polar superfluid, the Mott insulating and the Bose glass. A complete characterization of the physical properties of these phases has been established.

description: Motivated by rapidly advancing capabilities for extensive nanoscale patterning of optical materials, I propose an approach to implementing photonic sequential logic that exploits circuit-scale phase coherence for efficient realizations of fundamental components such as a NAND-gate-with-fanout and a bistable latch. Kerr-nonlinear optical resonators are utilized in combination with interference effects to drive the binary logic. Quantum-optical input-output models are characterized numerically using design parameters that yield attojoule-scale energy separation between the latch states.

description: We report a novel fabrication method of graphene Al2O3 gate insulators based on sputtering. Electrical performance of dual-gated mono- and bilayer exfoliated graphene devices is presented. Sputtered Al2O3 layers possess comparable quality to oxides obtained by atomic layer deposition (ALD) with respect to a high relative dielectric constant of about 8, as well as low-hysteresis performance and high breakdown voltage. We observe a moderate carrier mobility of about 1000 cm2/Vs in graphene and 350 cm2/Vs in its bilayer due to increased resonant scattering on atomic scale defects. Most likely this originated from the thin Al precursor layer evaporated prior to sputtering the Al2O3 gate oxide.
Determinants of Customer Based Brand Equity: Experience from 'Habesha' and 'St. Geroge' Beer Brands in Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Aklilu, Yoseph
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The aim of the study is to measure determinants of customer based brand equity experience from

Habesha and St. George beer brands using Aakers (1991) model. The determinants used in the

study are Brand Awareness, Brand Association, Brand Loyalty and Perceived Quality and

examine the interrelationship with each determinants and the magnitude of their effect on the

overall brand equity of Habesha and St.George beer brands. The study has employed quantitative

explanatory research design. A sample of 439 beer consumers randomly selected in 25 different

locations across 10 sub cities across Addis Ababa using a convenience sampling method. Data

was analyzed using SPSS software version 26.0. The finding of the correlation analysis indicates

that there is a direct significant positive relationship between the determinants and overall brand

equity. It also shows there is a significant direct positive interrelationship between Brand

Awareness, Brand Association, Brand Loyalty and Perceived Quality. Furthermore, the multiple

regression analysis shows Perceived Quality, Brand Loyalty and Brand Association has a positive

direct significant effect on customer based brand equity of ‘Habesha’ beer brand. Whereas, Brand

Awareness, Brand Loyalty and Perceived Quality has a positive direct significant effect on

customer based brand equity of St. Geroge. Despite the positive effect that brand Awareness has

on Habesha beer brand it is not statistically significant

description: The monolithic integration of novel nanomaterials with mature and established technologies has considerably widened the scope and potential of nanophotonics. For example, the integration of single semiconductor quantum dots into photonic crystals has enabled highly efficient single-photon sources. Recently, there has also been an increasing interest in using graphene - a single atomic layer of carbon - for optoelectronic devices. However, being an inherently weak optical absorber (only 2.3 % absorption), graphene has to be incorporated into a high-performance optical resonator or waveguide to increase the absorption and take full advantage of its unique optical properties. Here, we demonstrate that by monolithically integrating graphene with a Fabry-Perot microcavity, the optical absorption is 26-fold enhanced, reaching values >60 %. We present a graphene-based microcavity photodetector with record responsivity of 21 mA/W. Our approach can be applied to a variety of other graphene devices, such as electro-absorption modulators, variable optical attenuators, or light emitters, and provides a new route to graphene photonics with the potential for applications in communications, security, sensing and spectroscopy.

The dynamics inside the soft billiard depends only on the {\it masses ratio} between particles and {\it softness ratio} of the particles interaction. The transition from soft to hard interaction can be appropriately explored using potentials for which the corresponding equations of motion are well defined in the hard wall limit. Numerical examples are shown for the soft Toda-like interaction and the error function.

description: Using digitized images of the three-dimensional, branching structures for root systems of bean seedlings, together with analytical and numerical methods that map a common 'SIR' epidemiological model onto the bond percolation problem, we show how the spatially-correlated branching structures of plant roots affect transmission efficiencies, and hence the invasion criterion, for a soil-borne pathogen as it spreads through ensembles of morphologically complex hosts. We conclude that the inherent heterogeneities in transmissibilities arising from correlations in the degrees of overlap between neighbouring plants, render a population of root systems less susceptible to epidemic invasion than a corresponding homogeneous system. Several components of morphological complexity are analysed that contribute to disorder and heterogeneities in transmissibility of infection. Anisotropy in root shape is shown to increase resilience to epidemic invasion, while increasing the degree of branching enhances the spread of epidemics in the population of roots. Some extension of the methods for other epidemiological systems are discussed.

description: In this third paper in a series of three, we present a detailed study of the AGN broadband SED based on a nearby unobscured Type 1 AGN sample. We perform a systematic cross-correlation study of the following key parameters: $Γ_{2-10keV}$, $L_{2-10keV}$, $L_{bol}$, $L_{bol}/L_{Edd}$, $κ_{2-10keV}$, $κ_{5100A}$, FWHM$_{Hβ}$, M$_{BH}$, $α_{ox}$, $α_{X}$ and $α_{UV}$, and identify various strong correlations among these parameters. The principal component analysis (PCA) is performed on the correlation matrix of the above parameters, which shows that the three physical parameters, i.e. black hole mass, mass accretion rate and Eddington ratio, drive the majority of the correlations. This is consistent with PCA results found from previous optical spectral studies. We produce various mean SEDs classified by each of the key parameters. Most parameters, except L$_{bol}$, show similar systematic changes in the mean SEDs such that the temperature at which the disc peaks is correlated with the ratio of power in the disc versus the Comptonised components and the hard X-ray spectral index. This underlying change in SED shape shows that AGN do exhibit intrinsically different spectral states. This is superficially similar to the SED differences in BHB seen as $λ_{Edd}$ increases, but the analogy does not hold in detail. Only objects with the highest $λ_{Edd}$ appear to correspond to a BHB spectral state (the disc dominated high/soft state). The AGN with typical mass accretion rates have spectra which do not match well with any state observed in BHB. We speculate that this could be due to the presence of a powerful UV line driven disc wind, which complicates simple mass scaling between stellar and supermassive black holes.

description: Low-frequency Raman scattering spectra are presented for gold nanocrystals with diameters 3.5 and 13 nm. The frequencies of the Raman peaks but also their number are shown to vary with the nanocrystal size. These results are analyzed using both the continuous elastic medium approximation and an atomistic approach. We show that the number of atoms in the nanocrystal determines an upper limit of the number of observable Raman features. The frequency range in which the continuous elastic medium approximation is valid is defined by comparison with the calculations based on the atomistic approach.

Theoretical models for network evolution by duplication-divergence mechanisms and for network topology by hierarchical scale-free networks have suggested a one-to-one relation between network motif enrichment and aggregation, but this relation has never been tested quantitatively in real biological interaction networks. Here we introduce a novel method for assessing the statistical significance of network motif aggregation and for identifying clusters of overlapping network motifs. Using an integrated network of transcriptional, posttranslational and protein-protein interactions in yeast we show that network motif aggregation reflects a local modularity property which is independent of network motif enrichment. In particular our method identified novel functional network themes for a set of motifs which are not enriched yet aggregate significantly and challenges the conventional view that network motif enrichment is the most basic organizational principle of complex networks.

description: We use the recently developed tensor network algorithm based on infinite projected entangled pair states (iPEPS) to study the phase diagram of frustrated antiferromagnetic J1-J2 Heisenberg model on a checkerboard lattice. The simulation indicates a Neel ordered phase when J2 < 0.88J1, a plaquette valence bond solid state when 0.88 < J2/J1 < 1.11, and a stripe phase when J2 > 1.11J1, with two first-order transitions across the phase boundaries. The calculation shows the cross-dimer state proposed before is unlikely to be the ground state of the model, although such a state indeed arises as a metastable state in some parameter region.

description: Inhalt der vorliegenden Dissertationsschrift ist die Untersuchung der Kleinzeit-Asymptotik von Diffusionen auf allgemeinen Zustandsraeumen. Insbesondere wird die Konvergenzrate fuer das Gesetz der Grossen Zahlen bestimmt, also die Analyse auf einer exponentiellen Skala durchgefuehrt. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein solches Resultat fuer Diffusionen auf allgemeinen Polnische Zustandsraeumen bewiesen, deren invariante Verteilung durch ein Wahrscheinlichkeitsmass gegeben ist; insbesondere wird keine Lokalkompaktheit des Zustandsraumes vorausgesetzt. Betrachtet werden Diffusionen, die von symmetrischen Dirichletformen erzeugt werden, so kann ein allgemeines Varadhan-Prinzip fuer Dirichletformen von Hino und Ramirez als Ausgangspunkt benutzt werden. Die Ratenfunktion ist durch die Energie der Pfade bezueglich der intrinsischen Metrik gegeben.
description: The present work deals with small-time asymptotics of diffusions on general state spaces. In particular, we determine the rate of convergence of the law of large numbers, hence an analysis on an exponential scale. Such a result is proved for diffusions on general Polish state spaces in which the invariant distribution is given by a probability measure. In particular we do not require that the state space is locally compact. We study diffusions generated by symmetric Dirichlet forms such that the Varadhan principle for Dirichlet forms (due to Hino and Ramirez) can be used as starting point. The rate function is then determined as the energy of the paths with respect to the intrinsic metric.
The formation and decay of superheavy nuclei produced in $^{48}Ca$-induced reactions

description: The formation of superheavy nuclei in $^{48}Ca+^{232}Th$, $^{238}U$, $^{242,244}Pu$ and $^{248}Cm$ reactions and their subsequent decay are studied within the quantum mechanical fragmentation theory (QMFT) and the QMFT based preformed cluster-decay model (PCM) of Gupta and collaborators. According to QMFT, all these $^{48}Ca$-induced reactions are cold fusion reactions with relative excitation energies larger than for the $Pb$-induced cold fusion reactions and smaller than for the lighter beam i.e. $Mg$, $Si$ or $S$-induced hot fusion reactions. The same reactions were first suggested by Gupta et al. in 1977 on the basis of QMFT, and this study re-establishes the same result. In fact, for such heavy isotopes of Z=110 to 116, $^{50}Ca$ is shown to be a better beam for cold fusion, but $^{50}Ca$ is a radioactive nucleus. The $α$-decay half-lives of these nuclei after 3n and/ or 4n evaporations, i.e. of the evaporation residues of these compound systems, calculated on PCM compare reasonably well with experiments published by Dubna group and another recent calculation. As expected for such rare decays, PCM calculations show that the $α$-preformation factors are small, $\sim 10^{-8}$ to $10^{-10}$. The possible competition of $α$-decays with heavy cluster emissions from these superheavy nuclei is also probed from the point of view of searching for new nuclear structure information and possible future experiments with such exotic nuclei. The decay half-lives for some clusters are in fact shown to be lower than the limits of experiments for nuclei with enough available atoms.

description: The phase-space of a simple synchronization model is thoroughly investigated. The model considers two-mode stochastic oscillators, coupled through a pulse-like interaction controlled by simple optimization rules. A complex phase space is uncovered as a function of two relevant model parameters that are related to the optimization threshold and the periods of the two oscillation modes. Several phases with different periodic global output signals are identified. It is shown that the system exhibits partial synchronization under unexpectedly general conditions.

description: Cette version du conte "Le vieux bûcheron" donne une idée du dialecte du district d'Achham (ouest Népal), mélangé (comme c'est souvent le cas) avec du népali standard. Le dialect d'Achham n'a pas de tradition d'écriture et n'a pas fait l'objet d'étude linguistique à notre connaissance. Pour cette raison nous ne pouvons pas en proposer une transcription scientifique. Le conte est présenté ici dans une transcription impressioniste, en écriture Devanagari, dans l'espoir de stimuler l'étude des dialectes de l'ouest du Népal.

description: The beat time τ_{fpt} associated with the energy transfer between two coupled oscillators is dictated by the bandwidth theorem which sets a lower bound τ_{fpt}\sim 1/δω. We show, both experimentally and theoretically, that two coupled active LRC electrical oscillators with parity-time (PT) symmetry, bypass the lower bound imposed by the bandwidth theorem, reducing the beat time to zero while retaining a real valued spectrum and fixed eigenfrequency difference δω. Our results foster new design strategies which lead to (stable) pseudo-unitary wave evolution, and may allow for ultrafast computation, telecommunication, and signal processing.

description: In high-temperature superconductivity, the process that leads to the formation of Cooper pairs, the fundamental charge carriers in any superconductor, remains mysterious. We use a femtosecond laser pump pulse to perturb superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ, and study subsequent dynamics using time- and angle-resolved photoemission and infrared reflectivity probes. Gap and quasiparticle population dynamics reveal marked dependencies on both excitation density and crystal momentum. Close to the d-wave nodes, the superconducting gap is sensitive to the pump intensity and Cooper pairs recombine slowly. Far from the nodes pumping affects the gap only weakly and recombination processes are faster. These results demonstrate a new window into the dynamical processes that govern quasiparticle recombination and gap formation in cuprates.

Thirty-Fourth Annual Exhibition, National Association Women Painters and Sculptors, 1924-1925
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1925

description: The National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) was established in 1889 and is the oldest professional women's fine arts organization in the United States. NAWA's mission is to promote awareness of, and interest in, visual art created by women in the United States. As part of this effort NAWA holds an annual exhibition of works by members of the association and publishes an exhibition catalog to accompany or commemorate the annual exhibitions. These catalogs not only function as an exhibition catalog, but also as a document that summarizes the structure, membership, and activities of the association.Information that can be found in these catalogs includes lists of officers, members of the executive board and committees, prize winners, lists of exhibitor and members, and images of some of the artwork exhibited. Catalogs from the 2000s also include information on NAWA events and activities beyond the annual exhibition.Please note that the numbering of the annual catalogs was adjusted in 1960 and again in 1971. For example, NAWA designated the annual exhibition in 1960 as the 70th Anniversary Exhibition after 1959 was the 67th Annual Exhibition. These adjustments appear to have been made to reflect the date of the founding of the association, so that, by 1989, the annual exhibition commemorated the 100-year anniversary of the founding of NAWA in 1889.
