description: The Principle of Maximal Conformality (PMC) provides a systematic way to set the renormalization scales order-by-order for any perturbative QCD process. The resulting predictions are independent of the choice of renormalization scheme, a requirement of renormalization group invariance. The Crewther relation, which was originally derived for conformal theory, provides a remarkable connection between two observables when the $β$ function vanishes. The "Generalized Crewther Relation" relates these two observables for physical QCD with nonzero $β$ function; specifically, it connects the non-singlet Adler function ($D^{\rm ns}$) to the Bjorken sum rule coefficient for polarized deep-inelastic electron scattering ($C_{\rm Bjp}$) at leading twist. A scheme-dependent $Δ_{\rm CSB}$-term appears in the analysis in order to compensate for the conformal symmetry breaking (CSB) terms from perturbative QCD. In conventional analyses, this normally leads to unphysical dependence in both the choice of the renormalization scheme and the choice of the initial scale at any finite order. However, by applying PMC scale-setting, we can fix the scales of the QCD coupling unambiguously at every order of pQCD. ...... Thus one obtains a new generalized Crewther relation for QCD which connects two effective charges, $\widehatα_d(Q)= \sum_{i\geq1} \widehatα^{i}_{g_1}(Q_i)$, at their respective physical scales. This identity is independent of the choice of the renormalization scheme at any finite order, and the dependence on the choice of the initial scale is negligible. Similar scale-fixed commensurate scale relations also connect other physical observables at their physical momentum scales, thus providing convention-independent, fundamental precision tests of QCD.

description: We prove statistical limit laws for sequences of Birkhoff sums of the type $\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}v_n\circ T_n^j$ where $T_n$ is a family of nonuniformly hyperbolic transformations. The key ingredient is a new martingale-coboundary decomposition for nonuniformly hyperbolic transformations which is useful already in the case when the family $T_n$ is replaced by a fixed transformation $T$, and which is particularly effective in the case when $T_n$ varies with $n$. In addition to uniformly expanding/hyperbolic dynamical systems, our results include cases where the family $T_n$ consists of intermittent maps, unimodal maps (along the Collet-Eckmann parameters), Viana maps, and externally forced dispersing billiards. As an application, we prove a homogenization result for discrete fast-slow systems where the fast dynamics is generated by a family of nonuniformly hyperbolic transformations.

description: Since entanglement is not an observable per se, measuring its value in practice is a difficult task. Here we propose a protocol for quantifying a particular entanglement measure, namely concurrence, of an arbitrary two-qubit pure state via a single fixed measurement set-up by exploiting so-called weak measurements and the associated weak values together with the properties of the Laguerre-Gaussian modes. The virtue of our technique is that it is generally applicable for all two-qubit systems and does not involve simultaneous copies of the entangled state. We also propose an explicit optical implementation of the protocol.

description: Corporate crime is a poorly understood problem with little known about effective strategies to prevent and control it. Competing definitions of corporate crime affect how the phenomenon is studied and implications for reducing it. Therefore, in this review, we use John Braithwaite’s definition (1984: 6) which specifies that corporate crime is “the conduct of a corporation, or of employees acting on behalf of a corporation, which is proscribed and punishable by law.” Consistent with this approach, this review focuses on various legal strategies aimed at companies and their officials/managers to curtail corporate crime. Interventions may be punitive or cooperative, but the goal is to prevent offending and increase levels of corporate compliance. Our overall objective is to identify and synthesize published and unpublished studies on formal legal and administrative prevention and control strategies—i.e., the actions and programs of government law enforcement agencies, legislative bodies, and regulatory agencies on corporate crime. We then assess the impact of these strategies on individual and company offending. Included are legal and administrative interventions such as new laws or changes in laws, inspections by regulatory agencies, punitive sanctions and non-punitive interventions aimed at deterring or controlling illegal behaviors.

description: Within the dual symmetric point of view, the theory for seeking axion dark matter via haloscope experiments is derived by exactly solving the dual symmetric axion electrodynamics equation. Notwithstanding that the conventional theory of axion electrodynamics presented in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 51, 1415 (1983) and J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 19, L33 (1986)] is more commonly used in haloscope theory, we show that the dual symmetric axion electrodynamics has more advantages to apply to haloscope theory. First, the dual symmetric and conventional perspectives of axion electrodynamics coincide under long-wavelength approximation. Moreover, dual symmetric theory can obtain an exact analytical expression of the axion-induced electromagnetic field for any state of axion. This solution has been used in conventional theory for long-wavelength approximation. The difference between two theories can occur in directional axion detection or electric sensing haloscopes. For illustrative purposes, we consider the various type of resonant cavities: cylindrical solenoid, spherical solenoid, two-parallel-sheet cavity, toroidal solenoid with a rectangular cross-section, and with a circular cross-section. The resonance of the axion-induced signal, as well as the ratio of the energy difference over the stored energy inside the cavity, are investigated in these types of cavity.

description: We develop a framework in which to make sense of solutions containing the vacuum in Lagrangian gas dynamics. At and near vacuum, the specific volume becomes infinite and enclosed vacuums are represented by Dirac masses, so they cannot be treated in the usual weak sense. However, the weak* solutions recently introduced by the authors can be extended to include solutions containing vacuums. We present a definition of these natural vacuum solutions and provide explicit examples which demonstrate some of their features. Our examples are isentropic for clarity, and we briefly discuss the extension to the full $3\times3$ system of gas dynamics. We also extend our methods to one-dimensional dynamic elasticity to show that fractures cannot form in an entropy solution.

Influence of food processing on the humoral and cellular immune response to shared and unique allergens of crustacean species

description: Shellfish allergy is a significant health issue, particularly amongst the adult population. Importantly, shellfish are a common cause of food-induced severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. However, as is the case with most food allergies, the diagnosis, treatment and management of the condition can be quite difficult especially when the sensitising or offending foods are not specifically known by the patient. A limited understanding of clinical cross-reactivity between shellfish species, and how food processing, such as heating and digestion, can affect shellfish allergens in terms of their allergenicity also impedes the diagnosis and management of this allergy . There is currently no cure or effective long term treatment (apart from food avoidance) for shellfish allergy. However, the identification and characterisation of shellfish allergens, and the effect food processing has on these, provides insight into sensitisation and allergic processes. The results presented within this thesis have shown that raw and cooked crab and prawn extracts are able to bind IgE, with cooked extracts showing stronger IgE binding. IgE reactivity was found to be clinically relevant by assessing the activation of basophils by extracts in vitro. Frequency of IgE reactivity differed between raw and cooked extracts, with different allergens contributing to IgE reactivity depending on whether the extract had been processed or not or whether it was from crab or prawn. Allergens identified within this study from raw and cooked mud crab were tropomyosin, arginine kinase, haemocyanin, enolase and myosin light chain. Raw and cooked extracts were all highly IgE cross-reactive, with the major allergen tropomyosin being an important factor in this cross-reactivity. Evidence of cross-reactive, crab-specific IgE was also found which does not cross-react with prawn species. Tropomyosin was found to be resistant to digestion by gastric enzyme pepsin (retained IgE-reactivity), while other shellfish allergens were susceptible to pepsin but resistant to intestinal enzyme trypsin digestion. Both raw and cooked extracts were able to induce proliferation of a number of different cell types in the peripheral blood mononuclear cell population of shellfish-allergic individuals, particularly the CD4+ cell population. These cells were associated with a higher proportion of intracellular IL-4 (major cytokine in driving Th2 [allergic] immune responses) than CD4+ cells from non-atopic controls. This study has created a strong foundation for ongoing research, addressing how food processing of shellfish allergens affects the allergic immune response. Such information is vital for improving diagnosis and management of shellfish-allergic subjects, as well as informing the development of potential therapeutic options in the future.

description: We study Choquard type equation of the form $$-Δu +\varepsilon u-(I_α*|u|^p)|u|^{p-2}u+|u|^{q-2}u=0\quad in \quad {\mathbb R}^N,\qquad\qquad(P_\varepsilon)$$ where $N\geq3$, $I_α$ is the Riesz potential with $α\in(0,N)$, $p>1$, $q>2$ and $\varepsilon\ge 0$. Equations of this type describe collective behaviour of self-interacting many-body systems. The nonlocal nonlinear term represents long-range attraction while the local nonlinear term represents short-range repulsion. In the first part of the paper for a nearly optimal range of parameters we prove the existence and study regularity and qualitative properties of positive groundstates of $(P_0)$ and of $(P_\varepsilon)$ with $\varepsilon>0$. We also study the existence of a compactly supported groundstate for an integral Thomas-Fermi type equation associated to $(P_\varepsilon)$. In the second part of the paper, for $\varepsilon\to 0$ we identify six different asymptotic regimes and provide a characterisation of the limit profiles of the groundstates of $(P_\varepsilon)$ in each of the regimes. We also outline three different asymptotic regimes in the case $\varepsilon\to\infty$. In one of the asymptotic regimes positive groundstates of $(P_\varepsilon)$ converge to a compactly supported Thomas-Fermi limit profile. This is a new and purely nonlocal phenomenon that can not be observed in the local prototype case of $(P_\varepsilon)$ with $α=0$. In particular, this provides a justification for the Thomas-Fermi approximation in astrophysical models of self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensate.

The enhanced principal rank characteristic sequence over a field of characteristic 2

description: The enhanced principal rank characteristic sequence (epr-sequence) of an $n \times n$ symmetric matrix over a field $\mathbb{F}$ was recently defined as $\ell_1 \ell_2 \cdots \ell_n$, where $\ell_k$ is either $\tt A$, $\tt S$, or $\tt N$ based on whether all, some (but not all), or none of the order-$k$ principal minors of the matrix are nonzero. Here, a complete characterization of the epr-sequences that are attainable by symmetric matrices over the field $\mathbb{Z}_2$, the integers modulo $2$, is established. Contrary to the attainable epr-sequences over a field of characteristic $0$, our characterization reveals that the attainable epr-sequences over $\mathbb{Z}_2$ possess very special structures. For more general fields of characteristic $2$, some restrictions on attainable epr-sequences are obtained.

description: The origin of human cumulative culture is commonly envisioned as the appearance (some 2.0–2.5 million years ago) of a capacity to faithfully copy the know-how that underpins socially learned traditions. While certainly plausible, this story faces a steep ‘startup problem’. For example, it presumes that ape-like early Homo possessed specialized cognitive capabilities for faithful know-how copying and that early toolmaking actually required such a capacity. The social protocell hypothesis provides a leaner story, where cumulative culture may have originated even earlier—as cumulative systems of non-cumulative traditions (‘institutions’ and ‘cultural lifestyles’), via an emergent group-level channel of cultural inheritance. This channel emerges as a side-effect of a specific but in itself unremarkable suite of social group behaviours. It is independent of faithful know-how copying, and an ancestral version is argued to persist in Pan today. Hominin cultural lifestyles would thereby have gained in complexity and sophistication, eventually becoming independent units of selection (socionts) via a cultural evolutionary transition in individuality, abstractly similar to the origin of early cells. We here explore this hypothesis by simulating its basic premises. The model produces the expected behaviour and reveals several additional and non-trivial phenomena as fodder for future work.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Human socio-cultural evolution in light of evolutionary transitions’.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The main objective of the study is to examine the effect of reward on employee motivation in International Rescue Committee (IRC), Ethiopia Program. A mixed research approach was employed to answer the research questions. The quantitative data was gathered using survey questionnaire and a total of 163 respondents completed the survey questionnaires. To triangulate findings and to better generalize the findings of the quantitative data, interview was conducted with the Human Resource and Administration Department of the organization and one open ended question was included in the survey questionnaire. In addition to descriptive statistics, inferential statistics including Pearson's Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, Multiple Linear Regression, and ANNOVA were used to analyze the responses; and SPSS version 20 was used. The findings revealed that all the reward components have a positive and significant relationship with motivation. The motivation level of staffs in IRC is good and, among the reward components, fulfilling work, learning and development, and the overall organizational environment are good in IRC Ethiopia and of course only these three components are significantly affecting work motivation. Staff are not happy with the payment, benefits, working condition; and recognition components; but result showed these components have no significant effect on motivation in IRC Ethiopia. The reward components account 45% for the variance in work motivation. The ANNOVA test indicated that there are no significant differences in reward distribution and motivation level based on most of the demographical variables. Master's Degree holders are more dissatisfied with the payment than diploma and first degree holders.

The role of RNF38 in reproductive brain ageing
Creators: name: Tan, Ju Lie
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Brain ageing deteriorates both cognitive and motor functions. One of the age-related molecular changes is the up-regulation of RING finger protein 38 (RNF38), which is found in the hypothalamus. Despite the function of RNF38 in the brain remains unknown, Rnf38 transcript is highly expressed in rat testis, which speculates its relationship with reproductive system. Male reproductive ageing is characterized by reduced activation of reproductive neuropeptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons in the preoptic area (POA), impairing firing rate and pulsation, leading to abnormal Leydig cell function. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a key neurotransmitter that regulates reproductive system, as 5-HT-immunoreactive boutons are localized in the region where GnRH neurons are located; and 5-HT receptors are found on GnRH neurons. 5-HT is susceptible towards ageing as lack of 5-HT fibre projections have been observed in ageing brains. This study investigates the potential role of RNF38 in brain reproductive ageing and its relationship with GnRH and serotonergic system. Firstly, the mRNA levels of Rnf38, Gnrh, 5-HT receptors were determined in the POA of young (9-12 weeks), middle-aged (52-55 weeks) and aged (79 – 85 weeks) male mice. Age down-regulates Rnf38 mRNA level in the POA despite Gnrh gene expression remains unchanged. This hints the potential of Rnf38 as an ageing marker in the POA. Secondly, age decreases the expression of both 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors. This may be due to low serotonergic neurotransmission as age-reduced 5-HT levels were reported in several brain regions. Preoptic Rnf38 gene expression was up-regulated following 4 weeks of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), citalopram treatment in young adult mice. This indicates potential interaction between RNF38 and serotonergic system. Immunohistochemical (IHC) studies were conducted to characterize the functionality of RNF38 in the brain. RNF38 peptides were observed in medial septum and POA, the site where GnRH neurons are found. Double-labeled IHC studies showed RNF38 is expressed by preoptic neurons, despite no co-localization between GnRH neurons and RNF38. This is validated through absence of Rnf38 gene expression at single cell GnRH neurons. Therefore, RNF38 is expressed in non-GnRH neurons within the POA. The close proximity of GnRH neurons with RNF38 implies that RNF38 may aid in signaling GnRH pathways indirectly via interneurons. Lastly, biochemical study based on Rnf38 and 5-HT related genes were conducted after the treatment of plant extract from Leucaeuna leucocephala (L. leucocephala) as it has binding affinity of 5-HT2A receptors and carries anxiolytic effect. Single central injection of crude extract of L. leucocephala seems to cause an increase in Rnf38 mRNA in the POA region despite no changes were observed between control and treated animals.

description: The origin of human cumulative culture is commonly envisioned as the appearance (some 2.0–2.5 million years ago) of a capacity to faithfully copy the know-how that underpins socially learned traditions. While certainly plausible, this story faces a steep ‘startup problem’. For example, it presumes that ape-like early Homo possessed specialized cognitive capabilities for faithful know-how copying and that early toolmaking actually required such a capacity. The social protocell hypothesis provides a leaner story, where cumulative culture may have originated even earlier—as cumulative systems of non-cumulative traditions (‘institutions’ and ‘cultural lifestyles’), via an emergent group-level channel of cultural inheritance. This channel emerges as a side-effect of a specific but in itself unremarkable suite of social group behaviours. It is independent of faithful know-how copying, and an ancestral version is argued to persist in Pan today. Hominin cultural lifestyles would thereby have gained in complexity and sophistication, eventually becoming independent units of selection (socionts) via a cultural evolutionary transition in individuality, abstractly similar to the origin of early cells. We here explore this hypothesis by simulating its basic premises. The model produces the expected behaviour and reveals several additional and non-trivial phenomena as fodder for future work.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Human socio-cultural evolution in light of evolutionary transitions’.

description: For a wide range of pairs of mixed norm spaces such that one space is contained in another, we characterize all cases when contractive norm inequalities hold. In particular, this yields such results for many pairs of weighted Bergman spaces. Some inequalities of this type are motivated by their applications in Number Theory and in Mathematical Physics.

Year: 2017

description: In this research the effect of nonfinancial reward on employee retention were empirically examined at United Bank. Both primary and secondary data were used for analysis. Primary data were collected through questionnaire from 318 respondents selected using random sampling technique from the target population size of 1, 551 where as secondary data were obtained using document review. Data obtained was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Descriptive and inferential statistics methods were used while analyzing data. Thus, the result of correlation analysis evidenced recognition, career advancement opportunity and training & development had positive and moderate relationship with employee retention. The beta coefficient value in multiple regressions also revealed nonfinancial rewards studied had a positive influence in bringing variation in employee retention. The finding of descriptive analysis also revealed that the respondents average agreement on recognition, career advancement and training & development rewards were moderate level. This implies the practice of these rewards at United Bank were unsatisfactory to retain its employees. Therefore, the management shall work on recognition, career advancement opportunity and training & development reward practices to enhance the retention of employees. Keywords: Nonfinancial reward, Recognition, Career advancement opportunity, Training and development, Employee retention.
Finding and Characterizing a Target for the Comet Interceptor Mission
Creators: name: Kueppers, Michael
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Comet Interceptor is the first Fast (F-class) mission in ESA’s Cosmic Vision program. Its goal is the first in situ investigation of a long-period comet. Comet Interceptor (Spacecraft A) will carry two deployable probes, allowing multipoint investigations of the target. Probe B1 is contributed by JAXA and probe B2 by ESA. The mission will be launched in 2029 on an Ariane 6 towards the Sun-earth Lagrange point L2, together with the ARIEL mission. Comet Interceptor is the first rapid response mission, waiting in space at L2 until it will transfer to its target comet.

It is likely that the target comet for Comet Interceptor will be detected by LSST. To be reachable by Comet Interceptor, the comet needs to cross the ecliptic between 0.9 and 1.2 AU and be accessible with the available propellant. It is expected that a small number (1-5) of candidate targets for Comet Interceptor will be found before launch. To inform the target selection process, follow-up observations of the candidate targets will be required. Those include imaging (ideally in both the visible and thermal infrared wavelengths range) for determination of the nucleus size and rotation and detection and monitoring of activity and spectroscopy for gas production rates and composition.

We will present the Comet Interceptor mission and its needs for follow-up observations of candidate target objects to ensure a scientifically successful flyby.

description: Στη γηραιά μας ήπειρο, η 4Η Φεβρουαρίου έχει θεσπισθεί ως η «Ευρωπαϊκή Ημέρα της Δημογραφίας», γεγονός που αντικατοπτρίζει και τη σημασία που της αποδίδεται πλέον από μια διευρυμένη κοινότητα των ευρωπαϊκών χωρών. Η μέρα αυτή, που τιμάται και ο Ιδρυτής της Δημογραφίας, ο Άγγλος John Graunt που δημοσιεύει το 1862 το «Natural and Political Observations... upon the Bills of Mortality», είναι μια ευκαιρία για να παρουσιασθούν στο ευρύ κοινό οι δημογραφικές εξελίξεις και οι επιπτώσεις-προκλήσεις του «δημογραφικού», να συζητηθούν τα μέτρα και οι πολιτικές, να αναδειχθούν οι σχέσεις δημογραφίας οικονομίας, κοινωνίας και περιβάλλοντος, και να γίνει κατανοητό ότι η «Δημογραφία» αποτελεί έναν καθοριστικό παράγοντα, έχοντας σημαίνοντα ρόλο στην κοινωνικο-οικονομική ανάπτυξη.Στην Ελλάδα, σε αντίθεση με άλλες ευρωπαϊκές χώρες, η ημέρα αυτή περνά σχεδόν απαρατήρητη -και όχι μόνον από τα ΜΜΕ-. παρόλο που το «δημογραφικό» μας προβληματίζει ιδιαίτερα και έχει αναχθεί σε «εθνικό θέμα». Το νεοσύστατο Ινστιτούτο Δημογραφικών Ερευνών και Μελετών (ΙΔΕΜ), έχοντας σαν στόχο όχι μόνον την ανάπτυξη της εφαρμοσμένης δημογραφικής έρευνας και την διατύπωση προτάσεων πολιτικής, αλλά και την ενημέρωση της κοινωνίας των πολίτων, στο παρόν πρώτο τεύχος του νέου ενημερωτικού δελτίου που δημιούργησε, παρουσιάζει συνοπτικά, με την ευκαιρία της «Ευρωπαϊκής Ημέρας της Δημογραφίας», τις δημογραφικές μας εξελίξεις και προοπτικές, τις προκλήσεις που θέτουν και τους κυρίους άξονες παρεμβάσεων στο πεδίο αυτό, συνεισφέροντας στον δημόσιο διάλογο που έχει ανοίξει και στη χώρα μας.
