description: We determine the allowed parameter space of the CP-conserving two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) of type II with a softly broken Z_2 symmetry. Our analysis includes theoretical constraints from vacuum stability and perturbativity as well as experimental constraints from signal strengths of the 126 GeV Higgs boson, the non-observation of additional Higgs resonances and electroweak precision and flavour observables. If the 126 GeV resonance is interpreted as the light CP-even Higgs boson of the 2HDM our analysis shows that scenarios where the couplings of this boson deviate substantially from those of the SM Higgs boson are disfavoured at one standard deviation and completely excluded for small values of tan(beta). We also discuss bounds on the masses of the heavy 2HDM Higgs bosons and their implications for the possible decay modes of these particles. We find that the region in which both non-standard neutral Higgs bosons are simultaneously lighter than 300 GeV is excluded at two standard deviations.

description: The subject of the study is the performance evaluation indicators of the integrated systems of
the controlling concept.
The purpose of the study is to identify and systematize indicators for evaluating the activity of
trade networks.
Research methods. The work uses the dialectical method of scientific knowledge, the method of
analysis and synthesis, the comparative method, and the method of summarizing data.
Work results. The article formulates the essence of the concept of «controlling indicators in the
management of trade networks». The system of key performance indicators of trade networks is
defined. The sequence of implementation of the sub–stages of the implementation of controlling in the
management of trade networks is considered. The stages of the internal process of the controlling
service with key indicators are outlined.
Conclusions. The performance indicators of trade networks are absolute and relative values that
allow us to quantitatively present the state of the socio–economic system of the subject of network
trade business and are the basis for the implementation of both managerial functions and all controlling
functions. The system of key indicators of the activity of trade networks is a set of interconnected basic
data that meet certain requirements and characterize the state of the socio–economic system of the
trade network and the main factors of the external environment. This system makes it possible to
identify indicators affecting certain changes in the financial and economic activity of the trade network
and to quantitatively assess their impact. The process of developing and implementing a system of key
activity indicators should be a component of the structural and logical sequence of the introduction
of controlling in the management of entities of network trade business and foresee the consistent
implementation of the established sub–stages. The internal process of the controlling service work
with key indicators of the activity of the trade network should include the following stages: a comparison
of the strategic planned and actual indicators of the activity of the trade network according to the
key indicators of the higher level of activity, which characterize the state of implementation of the
strategy of the subject of network trade business; establishing the causes of detected deviations,
researching all levels of the system of key indicators of the trade network in order to identify indicators
that were not able to timely signal deviations in the actual parameters of economic activity; developing
recommendations for adjusting the system of key indicators of the trade network.

description: Asymmetric patchy particle models have recently been shown to describe the crystallization of small globular proteins with near quantitative accuracy. Here, we investigate how asymmetry in patch geometry and bond energy generally impact the phase diagram and nucleation dynamics of this family of soft matter models. We find the role of the geometry asymmetry to be weak, but the energy asymmetry to markedly interfere with the crystallization thermodynamics and kinetics. These results provide a rationale for the success and occasional failure of George and Wilson's proposal for protein crystallization conditions as well as physical guidance for developing more effective protein crystallization strategies.

description: Since our early days of childhood, we have often heard "No two people are alike." We look, sound and act differently from each other. Common sense would tell us that different stimuli would effect us, for lack of better terminology, differently. Humor has its own differing effects. Whereas some people may laugh so hard from a joke that their eyes may begin to tear, others may be offended and insulted at the very same joke, or may not find it funny at all. Humor is very popular in advertising. Estimates for the use of humor in advertising range from 15% to 42% of all advertisements (Kelly & Solomon, 1975; Madden & Weinberger, 1984). It would seem that humor must have some type of effect upon viewers/readers/etc. for it to be used so often. The question raised, however, is "Are all people affected similarly by sexual humor in advertising?" Doubtful, but to answer this question, we must first review how and why humor works in regard to advertising. Later, we will address the main question of this study - "How are men and women affected by sexual humor in advertising?" As we will see, men and women do not always react similarly to humorous advertising. This study attempts to identify a style of humor men and women are affected by (sexual humor), and how their reactions vary. If the basic principle of humor is "intent to be humorous", it is important to review the relationships to be studied in analyzing reactions to humor in advertising. One key variable is perceived humor. Just because an ad was designed to be humorous, not everyone will feel it actually was. Although this study will not focus on degrees of perceived humor, it is important to note that the advertisements used in this study were pre-tested for humorous content. This study focuses on several variables that humorous advertising may affect. The variables to be studied include: attitudes toward the brand, product and the ad, recall of the product, brand and the commercial's copy points, purchase intention, irritation elicited by the advertisement, attention paid to the ad and the number of counterarguments generated by the individual's response to the message. Chapter 1 presents a discussion of how humor has been operationalized in the past, while chapter 2 offers a look at humor's effects in the field of advertising. Chapter 3 more presents a review of studies related to humor and gender, while chapter 4 offers some ideas as to how humor works. Hypotheses for this study are offered in chapter 5 with the methodology discussed in chapter 6. Results and a discussion follow in chapters 7 and 8, respectively

description: We obtain constraints on the variation of the fundamental constants from the full shape of the redshift-space correlation function of a sample of luminous galaxies drawn from the Data Release 9 of the Baryonic Oscillations Spectroscopic Survey. We combine this information with data from recent CMB, BAO and H_0 measurements. We focus on possible variations of the fine structure constant αand the electron mass m_e in the early universe, and study the degeneracies between these constants and other cosmological parameters, such as the dark energy equation of state parameter w_DE, the massive neutrinos fraction f_ν, the effective number of relativistic species N_eff, and the primordial helium abundance Y_He. When only one of the fundamental constants is varied, our final bounds are α/ α_0 = 0.9957_{-0.0042}^{+0.0041} and m_e /(m_e)_0 = 1.006_{-0.013}^{+0.014}. For their joint variation, our results are α/ α_0 = 0.9901_{-0.0054}^{+0.0055} and m_e /(m_e)_0 = 1.028 +/- 0.019. Although when m_e is allowed to vary our constraints on w_DE are consistent with a cosmological constant, when αis treated as a free parameter we find w_DE = -1.20 +/- 0.13; more than 1 σaway from its standard value. When f_νand αare allowed to vary simultaneously, we find f_ν< 0.043 (95% CL), implying a limit of \sum m_ν< 0.46 eV (95% CL), while for m_e variation, we obtain f_nu < 0.086 (95% CL), which implies \sum m_ν< 1.1 eV (95% CL). When N_eff or Y_He are considered as free parameters, their simultaneous variation with αprovides constraints close to their standard values (when the H_0 prior is not included in the analysis), while when m_e is allowed to vary, their preferred values are significantly higher. In all cases, our results are consistent with no variations of αor m_e at the 1 or 2 σlevel.

description: Female sex workers (FSW) have a high prevalence of substance use and HIV, but the impact of substance use on HIV treatment engagement is not well established. We evaluated the association between alcohol and marijuana use and sub-optimal HIV treatment engagement outcomes among HIV-infected FSW in Lilongwe, Malawi. We enroled FSW using venue-based recruitment into a cross-sectional evaluation assessing substance use and HIV treatment engagement. Seropositive FSW, identified through HIV rapid testing, received rapid CD4 count and viral load testing. We used Poisson regression with robust variance estimates to ascertain associations of alcohol and marijuana use with sub-optimal HIV treatment outcomes: (1) lack of ART use among previously diagnosed, ART-eligible FSW and (2) viral nonsuppression among FSW on ART. Of previously diagnosed, ART-eligible FSW (n = 96), 29% were not using ART. Patterns of hazardous drinking were identified in 30%, harmful drinking in 10%, and alcohol dependence in 12%. ART-eligible FSW with harmful drinking or alcohol dependency were 1.9 (95% CI: 1.0, 3.8) times as likely to not use ART compared to FSW without harmful or dependent drinking. Among those on ART, 14% were virally nonsuppressed. The prevalence ratio for viral nonsuppression was 2.0 (95% CI: 0.6, 6.5) for harmful drinkers and alcohol-dependent FSW. Over 30% of ART-eligible FSW reported using marijuana. Marijuana-using FSW were 1.9 (95% CI: 0.8, 4.6) times as likely to not use ART compared to FSW who were not using marijuana. Given the high prevalence of alcohol use and its association with lack of ART use, ART uptake and alcohol reduction strategies should be tailored for alcohol-using FSW in Malawi.

description: Simultaneous low-temperature electrical resistivity and Hall effect measurements were performed on single-crystalline Bi2Se3 under applied pressures up to 50 GPa. As a function of pressure, superconductivity is observed to onset above 11 GPa with a transition temperature Tc and upper critical field Hc2 that both increase with pressure up to 30 GPa, where they reach maximum values of 7 K and 4 T, respectively. Upon further pressure increase, Tc remains anomalously constant up to the highest achieved pressure. Conversely, the carrier concentration increases continuously with pressure, including a tenfold increase over the pressure range where Tc remains constant. Together with a quasi-linear temperature dependence of Hc2 that exceeds the orbital and Pauli limits, the anomalously stagnant pressure dependence of Tc points to an unconventional pressure-induced pairing state in Bi2Se3 that is unique among the superconducting topological insulators.

title: Examining the Effect of Interruptions at Different Breakpoints and Frequencies Within a Task
Creators: name: Powers, Sarah Anastazia
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Research on the effects of interruptions shows that they can be either costly or beneficial depending on which aspects of an interruption are manipulated. One important aspect that contributes to these conflicting results concerns when an interruption occurs. The present study explored how event segmentation theory (EST) can be used to determine optimal moments for an interruption relying on hierarchical task analysis (HTA) to identify coarse and fine event boundaries. Utilizing a 2 X 3 mixed design, undergraduate students completed a trip planning task divided into three task trials. The within-subjects factor was interruption timing, which had three levels: none, coarse breakpoints, and fine breakpoints. The between-subjects factor was interruption frequency, which had two levels: one and three. According to memory for goals theory (MFG), a task representation at a fine breakpoint is large and thus an interruption occurring at this breakpoint increases memory demand and results in performance decrements when compared to an interruption at a coarse breakpoint. In line with this theory, it was hypothesized that interruptions would be more disruptive at fine vs. coarse breakpoints and that as the frequency of interruptions increased, so would the degree of disruption. Last, it was expected that the effects of high frequency interruptions would be more pronounced at fine vs. coarse breakpoints. The dependent measures included resumption lag, task completion time, number of errors, mental workload, and frustration. The findings provided partial support for these predictions. Consistent with MFG theory and EST, participants took longer to resume the primary task and reported higher mental workload and frustration when interruptions occurred at fine breakpoints. Conversely, the effects of interruptions at coarse breakpoints were similar to completing the task without interruption. However, interruption frequency had no effect on performance. In general, these results suggest that the disruptiveness of a single or even a few interruptions is tied to the point within the task hierarchy where it occurs.

description: The Skyrme crystal is built up of repeating units similar to the cubic Skyrmion of baryon number 4. Using this as guide, we construct new Skyrmion solutions in the massive pion case, with various baryon numbers up to 108. Most of our solutions resemble chunks of the Skyrme crystal. They are constructed using a multi-layer version of the rational map ansatz to create initial configurations, which are then relaxed numerically to find the energy minima. The coefficients of the rational maps are found by a geometrical construction related to the Skyrme crystal structure. We find some further solutions by numerical relaxation of clusters composed of baryon number 4 Skyrmions.

Potential mechanisms for imperfect synchronization in parkinsonian basal ganglia

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Neurons and Cognition (q-bio.NC)
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Neural activity in the brain of parkinsonian patients is characterized by the intermittently synchronized oscillatory dynamics. This imperfect synchronization, observed in the beta frequency band, is believed to be related to the hypokinetic motor symptoms of the disorder. Our study explores potential mechanisms behind this intermittent synchrony. We study the response of a bursting pallidal neuron to different patterns of synaptic input from subthalamic nucleus (STN) neuron. We show how external globus pallidus (GPe) neuron is sensitive to the phase of the input from the STN cell and can exhibit intermittent phase-locking with the input in the beta band. The temporal properties of this intermittent phase-locking show similarities to the intermittent synchronization observed in experiments. We also study the synchronization of GPe cells to synaptic input from the STN cell with dependence on the dopamine-modulated parameters. Dopamine also affects the cellular properties of neurons. We show how the changes in firing patterns of STN neuron due to the lack of dopamine may lead to transition from a lower to a higher coherent state, roughly matching the synchrony levels observed in basal ganglia in normal and parkinsonian states. The intermittent nature of the neural beta band synchrony in Parkinson's disease is achieved in the model due to the interplay of the timing of STN input to pallidum and pallidal neuronal dynamics, resulting in sensitivity of pallidal output to the phase of the arriving STN input. Thus the mechanism considered here (the change in firing pattern of subthalamic neurons through the dopamine-induced change of membrane properties) may be one of the potential mechanisms responsible for the generation of the intermittent synchronization observed in Parkinson's disease.

Intensification of investment activity as a target of state financial policy
Creators: name: VILCHINSKYI, O. M.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The subject of research is intensification of investment activity as a target of the state financial policy.
The purpose of the article is understanding the essence and clarifying the semantics of
intensification investment activity as a target of state financial policy.
The methodology of the work is systematic method of cognition, dialectical provisions of the
theory of financial science. The following special methods were used: theoretical generalization – in the
study of the concepts of «investment», «investment activity», « intensification of investment activity»;
methods of grouping and systematization.
The results of the work – within the framework of the process–target approach, the identification
differences between the investment process and investment activity are proposed. It is determined
that the three basic concepts («investment», «investment activity», «intensification»), which form the
morphological basis of the term « intensification of investment activity», are inherent in the process–
target approach. The article reveals the essence of activation of investment activity as a target of the
State financial policy.
Conclusions. The study of the conceptual and terminological apparatus of the thesaurus, which
characterizes the essential content of the intensification of investment activity as a target of the
State financial policy, allowed to clarify the semantics of the concept of «intensification of investment
activity», which is proposed to mean sharp positive changes in the intensity of investment activity,
which ultimately manifest themselves through an increase in the volume of investments, which are subordinated to the achievement of the goals of the State's macroeconomic policy.

description: Walter et al. (20012) have recently identified the J=6-5, 5-4, and 2-1 CO rotational emission lines, and [C_{II}] fine-structure emission line from the star-forming interstellar medium in the high-redshift submillimeter source HDF 850.1, at z = 5.183. We employ large velocity gradient (LVG) modeling to analyze the spectra of this source assuming the [C_{II}] and CO emissions originate from (i) separate unvirialized regions, (ii) separate virialized regions, (iii) uniformly mixed unvirialized region, and (iv) uniformly mixed virialized regions. We present the best fit set of parameters, including for each case the ratio $α$ between the total hydrogen/helium gas mass and the CO(1-0) line luminosity. We also present computations of the ratio of H_{2} mass to [C_{II}] line-luminosity for optically thin conditions, for a range of gas temperatures and densities, for direct conversion of [C_{II}] line-luminosities to "dark-H_{2}" masses. For HDF 850.1 we find that a model in which the CO and C^{+} are uniformly mixed in gas that is shielded from UV radiation, requires a cosmic-ray or X-ray ionization rate of $ζ\approx$ 10^{-13} s^{-1}, plausibly consistent with the large star-formation rate ($\sim$ 10^{3} M$_{\odot}$ yr^{-1}) observed in this source. Enforcing the cosmological constraint posed by the abundance of dark matter halos in the standard $Λ$CDM cosmology and taking into account other possible contributions to the total gas mass, we find that three of these four models are less likely at the 2$σ$ level. We conclude that modeling HDF 850.1's ISM as a collection of unvirialized molecular clouds with distinct CO and C^{+} layers, for which $α$ = 0.6 M$_{\odot}$ (K km s^{-1} pc^{2})^{-1} for the CO to H_{2} mass-to-luminosity ratio, (similar to the standard ULIRG value), is most consistent with the $Λ$CDM cosmology.

description: We develop a numerical algorithm for computing the effective drift and diffusivity of the steady-state behavior of an overdamped particle driven by a periodic potential whose amplitude is modulated in time by multiplicative noise and forced by additive Gaussian noise (the mathematical structure of a flashing Brownian motor). The numerical algorithm is based on a spectral decomposition of the solution to the Fokker-Planck equation with periodic boundary conditions and the cell problem which result from homogenization theory. We also show that the numerical method of Wang, Peskin, Elston (WPE, 2003) for computing said quantities is equivalent to that resulting from homogenization theory. We show how to adapt the WPE numerical method to this problem by means of discretizing the multiplicative noise via a finite-volume method into a discrete-state Markov jump process which preserves many important properties of the original continuous-state process, such as its invariant distribution and detailed balance. Our numerical experiments show the effectiveness of both methods, and that the spectral method can have some efficiency advantages when treating multiplicative random noise, particularly with strong volatility.

description: The proportion of overweight and obese adults in the United States and Canada has increased over the past decade, but temporal trends in body mass index (BMI) and weight gain on antiretroviral therapy (ART) among HIV-infected adults have not been well characterized. We conducted a cohort study comparing HIV-infected adults in the North America AIDS Cohort Collaboration on Research and Design (NA-ACCORD) to United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) controls matched by sex, race, and age over the period 1998 to 2010. Multivariable linear regression assessed the relationship between BMI and year of ART initiation, adjusting for sex, race, age, and baseline CD4+ count. Temporal trends in weight on ART were assessed using a generalized least-squares model further adjusted for HIV-1 RNA and first ART regimen class. A total of 14,084 patients from 17 cohorts contributed data; 83% were male, 57% were nonwhite, and the median age was 40 years. Median BMI at ART initiation increased from 23.8 to 24.8 kg/m2 between 1998 and 2010 in NA-ACCORD, but the percentage of those obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) at ART initiation increased from 9% to 18%. After 3 years of ART, 22% of individuals with a normal BMI (18.5–24.9 kg/m2) at baseline had become overweight (BMI 25.0–29.9 kg/m2), and 18% of those overweight at baseline had become obese. HIV-infected white women had a higher BMI after 3 years of ART as compared to age-matched white women in NHANES (p = 0.02), while no difference in BMI after 3 years of ART was observed for HIV-infected men or non-white women compared to controls. The high prevalence of obesity we observed among ART-exposed HIV-infected adults in North America may contribute to health complications in the future.

description: A non-abelian magnetic field in Yang-Mills theory induces the formation of a "W-boson" vortex lattice. We study the propagation of fundamental fermions in the presence of this lattice in 2+1 dimensions. We show that the spectrum for massless fermions contains four topologically-protected Dirac points with non-zero Bloch momentum. For massive fermions, we compute topological invariants of the band structure and show that it is possible to realise a Z2 topological insulator within Yang-Mills theory.

description: In this paper we extend Buchen's method to develop a new technique for pricing of some exotic options with several expiry dates(more than 3 expiry dates) using a concept of higher order binary option. At first we introduce the concept of higher order binary option and then provide the pricing formulae of $n$-th order binaries using PDE method. After that, we apply them to pricing of some multiple-expiry exotic options such as Bermudan option, multi time extendable option, multi shout option and etc. Here, when calculating the price of concrete multiple-expiry exotic options, we do not try to get the formal solution to corresponding initial-boundary problem of the Black-Scholes equation, but explain how to express the expiry payoffs of the exotic options as a combination of the payoffs of some class of higher order binary options. Once the expiry payoffs are expressed as a linear combination of the payoffs of some class of higher order binary options, in order to avoid arbitrage, the exotic option prices are obtained by static replication with respect to this family of higher order binaries.

description: Studies of persons living with HIV (PLWH) have compared current non-drinkers to at-risk drinkers without differentiating whether current non-drinkers had a prior alcohol use disorder (AUD). The purpose of this study was to compare current non-drinkers with and without a prior AUD on demographic and clinical characteristics to understand the impact of combining them. We included data from 6 sites across the US from 1/2013–3/2015. Patients completed tablet-based clinical assessments at routine clinic appointments using the most recent assessment. Current non-drinkers were identified by AUDIT-C scores of 0. We identified a prior probable AUD by a prior AUD diagnosis in the electronic medical record (EMR) or a report of attendance at alcohol treatment in the clinical assessment. We used multivariate logistic regression to examine factors associated with prior AUD. Among 2235 PLWH who were current non-drinkers, 36% had a prior AUD with more patients with an AUD identified by the clinical assessment than the EMR. Higher proportions with a prior AUD were male, depressed, and reported current drug use compared to non-drinkers without a prior AUD. Former cocaine/crack (70% vs. 25%), methamphetamine/crystal (49% vs. 16%) and opioid/heroin use (35% vs. 7%) were more commonly reported by those with a prior AUD. In adjusted analyses, male sex, past methamphetamine/crystal use, past marijuana use, past opioid/heroin use, past and current cocaine/crack use and cigarette use were associated with a prior AUD. In conclusion, this study found that among non-drinking PLWH in routine clinical care, 36% had a prior AUD. We found key differences between those with and without prior AUD in demographic and clinical characteristics including drug use and depression. These results suggest non-drinkers are heterogeneous and need further differentiation in studies and that prior alcohol misuse including alcohol treatment should be included in behavioral health assessments as part of clinical care.

description: A identificação humana e uma das principais atividades desenvolvidas pela Odontologia Legal. Os desastres em massa são os acidentes, naturais ou produzidos diretamente pela ação ou pela influencia humana, que geralmente resultam em um elevado número de vítimas fatais. Os corpos, muitas vezes, encontram-se carbonizados, fragmentados, destruídos ou em processo de decomposição avançada, o que dificulta a identificação. Os metodos odontológicos são comumente usados nesses casos, pois os dentes possuem alta resistencia e, muitas vezes, são a única fonte que determina a identidade de um indivíduo.

description: The number of humanized mouse models for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and other infectious diseases has expanded rapidly over the past 8 years. Highly immunodeficient mouse strains, such as NOD/SCID/gamma chainnull (NSG, NOG), support better human hematopoietic cell engraftment. Another improvement is the derivation of highly immunodeficient mice, transgenic with human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) and cytokines that supported development of HLA-restricted human T cells and heightened human myeloid cell engraftment. Humanized mice are also used to study the HIV reservoir using new imaging techniques. Despite these advances, there are still limitations in HIV immune responses and deficits in lymphoid structures in these models in addition to xenogeneic graft-versus-host responses. To understand and disseminate the improvements and limitations of humanized mouse models to the scientific community, the NIH sponsored and convened a meeting on April 15, 2015 to discuss the state of knowledge concerning these questions and best practices for selecting a humanized mouse model for a particular scientific investigation. This report summarizes the findings of the NIH meeting.
