description: We consider the possibility that the Peccei-Quinn charged dynamical supersymmetry breaking (DSB) of m_{3/2}=O(eV) for the Intriligator-Seiberg-Shih model, an axion, converted from a Nambu-Goldstone boson, could become a dark matter candidate, while the QCD anomaly and a sizable μvalue are naturally generated. We also stress that rather minimal DSB content is sufficient to yield the observed mass of the lightest Higgs boson, other than the acceptable soft mass of sparticles in the observable sector.
description: I would like to thank you for endorsing me. In this study, I considered the possibility that the gravitino problem could be resovled in gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking. In my framework, the QCD axion could become a good cold dark matter candidate, instead of the light gravitino
Renewed activity in the radio galaxy PKS B1545-321: twin edge-brightened beams within diffuse radio lobes

description: Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) images of the giant radio galaxy PKS B1545-321 show a pair of oppositely directed beams emerging from a radio core and ending in bright components that are symmetrically located on either side. These inner beams are embedded within edge-brightened outer lobes of lower surface brightness and the bright ends of the inner beams are well recessed from the ends of the outer lobes. The inner beams and diffuse surrounding lobes share a common central core and radio axis. We propose that the observed inner beams are double lobes which have been created within relic outer lobes as a consequence of a restarting of the central activity; therefore, PKS B1545-321 is a rare opportunity for examining the development of restarted beams within a relic synchrotron plasma cocoon. The inner double representing the new episode has among the highest axial ratios found in typical edge-brightened radio galaxies. The low radio luminosity of the inner double, the narrow and constant transverse extent of its cocoon and the relatively low brightness of the hotspots at its ends are consistent with the almost ballistic propagation expected for a beam that has a low density contrast and is advancing within a relatively light ambient medium.

description: This study examined the effect of board structure on financial performance of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. Purposive sampling technique was employed to select six (6) listed deposit money banks quoted on the Nigeria Exchange Group (NGX) for ten financial years (2012-2021). Board size and Board independence served as proxies for board structure and financial performance was proxied by return on asset. Data was extracted from the audited financial statements of the selected banks. Descriptive analysis, Correlation and panel regression with specification on the random model as the preferred model were used in the analysis. The result revealed that board size and board independence positively influenced the financial performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The results encourage banks on continued compliance with central bank regulations on board size and also ensure that majority of the directors remain independent and non-executive when it comes to board independence. On the whole the findings of the study suggest that board structure proxied by board size and board independence plays an important role in the performance of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria and as such the study adds to and advances the corpus of research in this area.

description: The popularity of price bands adjusted for long run structural changes as market stabilization rules is no doubt due to their apparent virtues of symmetry and simplicity of operation. In fact, the possibility of structural. shifts or long-run trends in prices of storable commodities poses a formidable challenge to the successful operation of such rules. Even if trends or shifts are somehow perfect!y identified, the common prescription of a symmetric price band for stabilizing prices has effects on stocks, producers, and the public budget that are counter-intuitive and not generally recognized, whereas the net effect on the price distribution can be of modest magnitude relative to the managerial challenges presented by the operation of a price band.

The method has the advantages of being in principle applicable to any such system and provides a solution to the overlap problem. In some cases, like in the IKKT matrix model, a finite size scaling extrapolation can provide results for systems whose size would make it prohibitive to simulate directly.

Can current experimental data exclude non-Gaussian genuine band shapes in ultraviolet photoelectron spectra of the hydrated electron?
Creators: name: Signorell, Ruth
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Two recent articles present results that allegedly exclude a possible multimodal distribution of the hydrated electron in ultraviolet photoelectron spectra. The first article bases its conclusion on the assumption that the non-Gaussian genuine band shape previously retrieved for the solvated electron in liquid water is an artefact arising from insufficient electron scattering cross sections used in the retrieval. The second article excludes a multimodal band shape based on a photoelectron spectrum of the solvated electron in water clusters recorded at a single ultraviolet photon energy, and it further assumes that cluster results are transferable to the liquid without further justification. Here, we show that based on current data multimodal distributions cannot be unambiguously excluded. Furthermore, the transferability of cluster results to the liquid can neither be justified nor refuted on the basis of currently available experimental ultraviolet photoelectron spectra.
(Anti)symmetric matter and superpotentials from IIB orientifolds

description: We study the IIB engineering of N=1 gauge theories with unitary gauge group and matter in the adjoint and (anti)symmetric representations. We show that such theories can be obtained as Z2 orientifolds of Calabi-Yau A2 fibrations, and discuss the explicit T-duality transformation to an orientifolded Hanany-Witten construction. The low energy dynamics is described by a geometric transition of the orientifolded background. Unlike previously studied cases, we show that the orientifold 5-`plane' survives the transition, thus bringing a nontrivial contribution to the effective superpotential. We extract this contribution by using matrix model results and compare with geometric data. A Higgs branch of our models recovers the engineering of SO/Sp theories with adjoint matter through an O5-`plane' T-dual to an O6-plane. We show that the superpotential agrees with that produced by engineering through an O5-`plane' dual to an O4-plane, even though the orientifold of this second construction is replaced by fluxes after the transition.

description: Social information is immensely valuable. Yet we waste it. The information we get from observing other humans and from communicating with them is a cheap and reliable informational resource. It is considered the backbone of human cultural evolution. Theories and models focused on the evolution of social learning show the great adaptive benefits of evolving cognitive tools to process it. In spite of this, human adults in the experimental literature use social information quite inefficiently: they do not take it sufficiently into account. A comprehensive review of the literature on five experimental tasks documented 45 studies showing social information waste, and four studies showing social information being over-used. These studies cover ‘egocentric discounting’ phenomena as studied by social psychology, but also include experimental social learning studies. Social information waste means that human adults fail to give social information its optimal weight. Both proximal explanations and accounts derived from evolutionary theory leave crucial aspects of the phenomenon unaccounted for: egocentric discounting is a pervasive effect that no single unifying explanation fully captures. Cultural evolutionary theory's insistence on the power and benefits of social influence is to be balanced against this phenomenon.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Foundations of cultural evolution’.
Exploratory factor analysis of HIV knowledge items

description: Risky sexual behaviours and misconceptions about HIV persist among young people in Sub-Saharan Africa, but many studies create a composite scale and conceptualize the commonly used comprehensive HIV knowledge items as a unidimensional measure. I performed exploratory factor analyses to examine the factor structure of the HIV knowledge measures in the Demographic and Health Surveys. Based on a cutoff point of 0.40, across the countries, knowledge about behavioural measures to prevent HIV loaded highly on one factor ( 0.36 to 0.87), but had lower loadings on a second factor ( 0.01 to 0.27). In contrast, misconceptions about the disease loaded highly on the second factor (0.40 to 0.99) and had lower loadings on the first factor (0.04 to 0.21). These findings underscore the need to classify the items for HIV-related knowledge research based on their psychometric properties to guide HIV education and prevention efforts.

Common in the Caledonian basin this species has a mammillate smooth tunic with some epibionts (Fig. 10A). The siphons are separated by one third of the body width and not protruding. Thirty oral tentacles are evenly spaced. The dorsal tubercle C-shaped lies in a low V of the prepharyngeal band. The dorsal lamina is a low blade. The branchial sac has four folds on each side (Fig. 10B, C) each with an average of 20 longitudinal vessels plus up to 20 vessels separate the folds. There are parastigmatic vessels and an average of two stigmata per branchial mesh. The digestive loop is narrowly open; it occupies only a posterior part of the left body side (Fig. 10D). The olive-shaped stomach has internal ridges and no caecum; the anus margin has numerous lobes. There are two long gonads on each side (Fig. 10D) those on the right side are well distant from each other; on the left side the gonads are parallel and above the intestine. Fifty endocarps are present on the right side and on the left some endocarps lie below the stomach, others inside the gut loop and on each side of the gonads. Neither velum nor atrial tentacles were seen.
 Cnemidocarpa irene has a worldwide distribution from shallow to bathyal depth.

description: We analyze and compare three different strategies, all aimed at controlling and eventually halting decoherence. The first strategy hinges upon the quantum Zeno effect, the second makes use of frequent unitary interruptions ("bang-bang" pulses and their generalization, quantum dynamical decoupling), and the third of a strong, continuous coupling. Decoherence is shown to be suppressed only if the frequency N of the measurements/pulses is large enough or if the coupling K is sufficiently strong. Otherwise, if N or K are large, but not extremely large, all these control procedures accelerate decoherence. We investigate the problem in a general setting and then consider some practical examples, relevant for quantum computation.

description: Mathematically rigorous derivation of the hadron matter equation of state within the induced surface and curvature tensions approach is worked out. Such an equation of state allows one to go beyond the Van der Waals approximation for the interaction potential of hard spheres. The compressibility of a single- and two-component hadron mixtures are found for two- and three-dimensional cases. The obtained results are compared to the well known one- and two-component equations of state of hard spheres and hard discs. The values of the model parameters which successfully reproduce the above-mentioned equations of state on different intervals of packing fractions are determined from fitting their compressibility factors. It is argued that after some modification the developed approach can be also used to describe the mixtures of gases of convex hard particles of different sizes and shapes.

description: The present paper deals with calculations based on a standard model of cosmic ray acceleration in Supernova remnants (SNR) and on the latest astronomical data concerning the variety in Supernovae types, energies as well as the sites of their explosions. The results obtained allow explaination of the main features of all particle cosmic ray spectrum, including the 'knee'. This conclusion is based essentially on the premise that energy of accelerated CR in the given SNR is proportional to the kinetic energy of this explosion, that stresses the input of high energy explosions and suppresses the contribution of low energy explosions to the total CR flux.

description: In this paper we study the convex envelopes of a new class of functions. Using this approach, we are able to unify two important classes of regularizers from unbiased non-convex formulations and weighted nuclear norm penalties. This opens up for possibilities of combining the best of both worlds, and to leverage each methods contribution to cases where simply enforcing one of the regularizers are insufficient. We show that the proposed regularizers can be incorporated in standard splitting schemes such as Alternating Direction Methods of Multipliers (ADMM), and other subgradient methods. Furthermore, we provide an efficient way of computing the proximal operator. Lastly, we show on real non-rigid structure-from-motion (NRSfM) datasets, the issues that arise from using weighted nuclear norm penalties, and how this can be remedied using our proposed method.

description: Under the implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions such as social distancing and lockdowns, household transmission has been shown to be significant for COVID-19, posing challenges for reducing incidence in settings where people are asked to self-isolate at home and to spend increasing amounts of time at home due to distancing measures. Accordingly, characteristics of households in a region have been shown to relate to transmission heterogeneity of the virus. We introduce a discrete-time stochastic epidemiological model to examine the impact of the household size distribution in a region on the transmission dynamics. We choose parameters to reflect incidence in two health regions of the Greater Vancouver area in British Columbia and simulate the impact of distancing measures on transmission, with household size distribution the only different parameter between simulations for the two regions. Our result suggests that the dissimilarity in household size distribution alone can cause significant differences in incidence of the two regions, and the distributions drive distinct dynamics that match reported cases. Furthermore, our model suggests that offering individuals a place to isolate outside their household can speed the decline in cases, and does so more effectively where there are more larger households.

description: We construct explicit examples of elementary extremal contractions, both birational and of fiber type, from smooth projective n-dimensional varieties, n\geq 4, onto smooth projective varieties, arising from classical projective geometry and defined over sufficiently small fields, not necessarily algebraically closed. The examples considered come from particular special homaloidal and subhomaloidal linear systems, which usually are degenerations of general phenomena classically investigated by Bordiga, Severi, Todd, Room, Fano, Semple and Tyrrell and more recently by Ein and Shepherd-Barron. The first series of examples is associated to particular codimension 2 determinantal smooth subvarieties of P^m, 3\leq m\leq 5. We get another series of examples by considering special cubic hypersurfaces through some surfaces in P^5, or some 3-folds in P^7 having one apparent double point. The last examples come from an intriguing birational elementary extremal contraction in dimension 6, studied by Semple and Tyrrell and fully described in the last section.

Also we consider gauge theory on noncommutative superspace and observe that gauge group is restricted. We generalize the star deformation to include noncommutativity between bosonic coordinates and fermionic coordinates.

Collected during the Baudin expedition by Péron and Lesueur, Asterias penicillaris cannot consequently come from the Atlantic, as written by Lamarck (1816). The species was discussed by Müller & Troschel (1842, under the name Asteriscus penicillaris) who reported its colouration from Lesueur’s drawings: “oben mit bläulichen Grunde und rothbraunen Stacheln; unten blau [above, bluish background with brownish-red spines; below blue]”. These authors mentioned that the species is in the Berlin Museum and said nothing about its presence in Paris. The absence of individuals in Paris could explain why Perrier (1875) did not comment on the species.
The Péron and Lesueur’s material of the species could not be found in the MNHN.

description: Jack Bloom was a social movement's specialist previously unconcerned with Poland, when he first visited the country in 1986. After five weeks in Poland his new goal was clear: researching the social movement Solidarność. More than 25 years later, this led to an English language in-depth study about the Polish events of the 1980s, and the development of the opposition that led up to it. So many years later, however, this story has only little new to offer in an academic discourse that has moved on. The set-up of his story is fairly traditional, telling the story of the Polish opposition from the Poznań events, through the upheavals of 1968, 1970 and 1976, to a detailed description of the different phases of the Solidarność years and the story beyond until 1989. The additional value of Bloom's account should therefore be sought in his approach to telling this history.

 Cnemidocarpa tinaktae Van Name 1918: Philippines; Millar 1975, Philippines. Monniot & Monniot 2003, Indonesia.
The spherical body was fixed by one third of its surface. The thick tunic is naked with a smooth surface with irregular furrows. The well spaced siphons are not protruding and are contracted inside the body. The body wall is opaque. About 25 thin and long oral tentacles alternate with smaller ones. The dorsal tubercle opens in an S shape inside a deep V of the prepharyngeal band. The musculature does not make ribbons but a dense felting. The rapheal membrane is high with a plain edge. The 4 branchial folds on each side (Fig. 11A) are high, having at least 25 longitudinal sinuses and separated from each other by six or seven sinuses. The space between the endostyle and the next fold is larger. The digestive loop occupies a small part of the left body side (Fig. 11B). The oesophagus is short and narrow followed by a long stomach with eight or nine longitudinal folds on its internal wall (Fig. 11B). The intestine curves in a primary loop and bend to a short secondary curve at the stomach level. A small buttonlike caecum is present at the junction to the intestine. The anus has two lips slightly lobed. The gonads (Fig. 11B) are long and sinuous, sometimes branched at their ventral extremity ten on the right side and five on the left. They adhere to the body wall but are not embedded in it; the male and female ducts are joined in a single papilla. Endocarps are present everywhere on the body wall and some fill the gut loop (Fig. 11B). A ring of filiform papillae is present at the base of an atrial velum.
The New Caledonian specimen in a round body with a naked and furrowed surface has a characteristic shape. It well corresponds to those described from the Philippines (Van Name 1918; Millar 1975) and those from Indonesia (Monniot & Monniot 2003).

description: We present a novel method for improving the numerical stability of finite volume simulations by optimizing the mesh through dynamic mode decomposition of solution update vectors. Our approach leverages dynamic mode decomposition to approximate the non-linear solution evolution as a linear mapping, enabling us to represent the dynamic system with fewer degrees of freedom. By conducting eigenanalysis on the reduced system, we gain insights into the growth rate and oscillation frequency of dominant solution modes. We then identify the control volumes and vertices that have a significant influence on each dynamic solution mode. We compute the gradients of the Jacobian diagonal elements with respect to the movement of the selected vertices. Based on these gradients, we adjust the positions of the vertices to improve the diagonal dominance of the corresponding Jacobian rows. We utilize this approach in conjunction with our in-house flow solver as well as with Ansys Fluent to test its effectiveness when applied to different types of CFD software architecture. We show that the presented methodology is fully non-invasive to the host flow solver and does not require any modifications or access to the source code. Our approach offers a substantial computational cost reduction compared to existing methods for numerical stability improvement. Various results demonstrate the strength and efficacy of this state-of-the-art approach for improving numerical stability through mesh optimization.

description: Advances in machine learning technologies have led to increasingly powerful models in particular in the context of big data. Yet, many application scenarios demand for robustly interpretable models rather than optimum model accuracy; as an example, this is the case if potential biomarkers or causal factors should be discovered based on a set of given measurements. In this contribution, we focus on feature selection paradigms, which enable us to uncover relevant factors of a given regularity based on a sparse model. We focus on the important specific setting of linear ordinal regression, i.e.\ data have to be ranked into one of a finite number of ordered categories by a linear projection. Unlike previous work, we consider the case that features are potentially redundant, such that no unique minimum set of relevant features exists. We aim for an identification of all strongly and all weakly relevant features as well as their type of relevance (strong or weak); we achieve this goal by determining feature relevance bounds, which correspond to the minimum and maximum feature relevance, respectively, if searched over all equivalent models. In addition, we discuss how this setting enables us to substitute some of the features, e.g.\ due to their semantics, and how to extend the framework of feature relevance intervals to the setting of privileged information, i.e.\ potentially relevant information is available for training purposes only, but cannot be used for the prediction itself.

description: The relatively intense X-ray emission from large scale (tens to hundreds kpc) jets discovered with Chandra likely implies that jets (at least in powerful quasars) are still relativistic at that distances from the active nucleus. In this case the emission is due to Compton scattering off seed photons provided by the Cosmic Microwave Background, and this on one hand permits to have magnetic fields close to equipartition with the emitting particles, and on the other hand minimizes the requirements about the total power carried by the jet. The emission comes from compact (kpc scale) knots, and we here investigate what we can predict about the possible emission between the bright knots. This is motivated by the fact that bulk relativistic motion makes Compton scattering off the CMB photons efficient even when electrons are cold or mildly relativistic in the comoving frame. This implies relatively long cooling times, dominated by adiabatic losses. Therefore the relativistically moving plasma can emit, by Compton scattering the microwave seed photons, for a long time. We discuss how the existing radio--to--X-ray observations of large scale jets already pose strong constraints on the structure and dynamics of knots and we present a scenario that can satisfactorily reproduce the observed phenomenology of the jet in 3C273. In this scenario the kiloparsec-scale knots visible with HST, Chandra and VLA are composed of several smaller sub--units, accounting for the fast decrease of the flux outside the large knot. Substructure in the X-ray- emitting knots can also explain the month--year variability timescale reported for the large scale jet in M87.

Figure 13
Stations: Kanacono DW 4727; DW 4728; DW 4781. Four specimens.
The bodies of the different specimens in this collection all have the same shape (Fig. 13A). The largest specimen is 7 cm in length. The siphons are well apart, the atrial one always longer (Fig. 13). The tunic is rough and leathery but thin with spinules of 10µ on the siphonal lining (Fig. 12D). The muscle ribbons are evenly spaced and dense in a web on the body wall (Fig. 13C). There are about 60 thick ramified oral tentacles. The dorsal tubercle, C-shaped with horns rolled inward is placed in a deep V of the prepharyngeal band (Fig. 13B). The dorsal lamina has a plain edge. There are seven high folds on each side (Fig. 13B) and four to five longitudinal vessels between the folds. The digestive loop is ventral and only occupies a part of the left body side close to the endostyle (Fig. 13C). The digestive gland is in two parts: one anterior with lobes in lamellae and one posterior with thin finger-like papillae. The anus with eight lobes opens close to the oesophagus. There is one long gonad on each side. The left gonad crosses and covers the intestine the right gonad is also ventral (Fig. 13C). In all specimens two endocarps are placed anterior to the gonad on the right body side and one endocarp is above the gonad on the left body side, while additional endocarps cover the gonad lobes (Fig. 13C). There is an atrial velum but no papillae at the atrial aperture.
The newly collected specimens are similar in all characters to those described from the same region (Monniot & Monniot 1991).

description: We investigate the properties of the host galaxies of compact binary mergers across cosmic time, by means of population-synthesis simulations combined with galaxy catalogues from the EAGLE suite. We analyze the merger rate per galaxy of binary neutron stars (BNSs), black hole--neutron star binaries (BHNSs) and binary black holes (BBHs) from redshift zero up to redshift six. The binary merger rate per galaxy strongly correlates with the stellar mass of the host galaxy at any redshift considered here. This correlation is significantly steeper for BNSs than for both BHNSs and BBHs. Moreover, we find that the merger rate per galaxy depends also on host galaxy's star formation rate and metallicity. We derive a robust fitting formula that relates the merger rate per galaxy with galaxy's star formation rate, stellar mass and metallicity at different redshifts. The typical masses of the host galaxies increase significantly as redshift decreases, as a consequence of the interplay between delay time distribution of compact binaries and cosmic assembly of galaxies. Finally, we study the evolution of the merger rate density with redshift. At low redshift ($z\leq{}0.1$) early-type galaxies give a larger contribution to the merger rate density than late-type galaxies. This trend reverts at $z\ge{}1$.

description: Eine monographische Gesamtdarstellung des politischen Systems der Republik Polen suchte man bislang vergebens. In deutscher Sprache lag nichts mit gängigen politologischen Einführungen zu westeuropäischen Staaten oder dem politischen System der Bundesrepublik vor. [1] Dieses Desiderat ist nun behoben. Zwar bleibt auch nach einer Lektüre von Klaus Ziemers „Das politische System Polens. Eine Einführung" die polnische Politik für Überraschungen und Rätsel gut, jedoch ist dies keinesfalls dem Buch sondern vielmehr dem Profil seines Gegenstandes zuzuschreiben. Den Anspruch, die Spezifika der komplexen politischen Wirklichkeiten polnischer Politik verständlicher zu machen, löst das Buch durch eine Darstellung von geradezu enzyklopädischer Genauigkeit und Informationsdichte ein.

Asterias pentagonula Lamarck, 1816: 554.
Anthenea pentagonula – Clark 1993: 296.
CURRENT STATUS. — Asterias pentagonula is newly synonymized here with Tosia australis Gray, 1840.
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — MHNH; Lesueur drawings collection; ref. 74021; Baudin expedition; Péron and Lesueur leg.
DISTRIBUTION. — South of Australia and Tasmania.
REMARKS
Asterias pentagonula was often said to belong to the genus Anthenea which includes asteroids with an enlarged disc and relatively short though well-individualised arms. However, Lamarck’s description emphasises the peculiar shape of the species as “Aplati, presque discoïde, avec des angles courts [flat, almost disc-shaped, with shallow angles]”. Such an appearance does not fit with Anthenea and rather suggests that the species belongs to the genus Tosia Gray, 1840, a suggestion that is consistent with both its origin (South Seas) and collectors (Péron and Lesueur). Several authors consider that Asterias pentagonula is a Chinese species. This is unlikely and could result from the synonymy of A. pentagonula with Anthenea chinensis Gray, 1840 in Müller & Troschel (1842: 57). This is a rather strange proposal as Gray’s species originated from the China-Japan area while Asterias pentagula came from the South Seas. Liao & Clark (1995: 99) consider that these species are two different taxa. The MNHN specimens identified Anthenea pentagonula belong to the species Anthenea australiae Döderlein, 1915; see previously under that species.
