description: Symmetric teleparallel gravity (STG) offers an interesting third geometric interpretation of gravitation besides its formulation in terms of a spacetime metric and Levi-Civita connection or its teleparallel formulation. It describes gravity through a connection which is not metric compatible, however is torsion and curvature free. We investigate the propagation velocity of the gravitational waves around Minkowski spacetime and their potential polarizations in a general class of STG theories, the so-called "newer general relativity" class. It is defined in terms of the most general Lagrangian that is quadratic in the nonmetricity tensor, does not contain its derivatives and is determined by five free parameters. In our work we employ the principal symbol method and the Newman-Penrose formalism, to find that all waves propagate with the speed of light, i.e., on the Minkowski spacetime light cone, and to classify the theories according to the number of polarizations of the waves depending on the choice of the parameters in the Lagrangian. In particular it turns out that there exist more theories than just the reformulation of general relativity which allow only for two polarization modes. We also present a visualization of the parameter space of the theory to better understand the structure of the model.

description: We show that the experimental data for the total virtual-photon proton cross section, σ_{γ^*p} (W^2, Q^2), for x_{bj} \lsim 0.1 lie on a universal curve, when plotted against η= (Q^2 + m^2_0)/ Λ^2(W^2), where Λ^2 (W^2) = C_1 (W^2+W^2_0)^{C_2} is determined by the parameters m^2_0, C_1, C_2 and W^2_0. The observed scaling law follows from the generalized-vector-dominance/color-dipole picture of low-x deep inelastic scattering.

The fate of the bootstrap percolation hybrid critical point in finite dimension

description: Bootstrap, or $k$-core, percolation displays on the Bethe lattice a mixed first/second order phase transition with both a discontinuous order parameter and diverging critical fluctuations. I apply the recently introduced $M$-layer technique to study corrections to mean-field theory showing that at all orders in the loop expansion the problem is equivalent to a spinodal with quenched disorder. This implies that the mean-field hybrid transition does not survive in physical dimension. Nevertheless, its critical properties as an avoided transition, make it a proxy of the avoided Mode-Coupling-Theory critical point of supercooled liquids.

description: We review the results of our research on damage mechanisms in materials irradiated with femtosecond free-electron-laser (FEL) pulses. They were obtained using our hybrid approach, XTANT (X-ray-induced Thermal And Nonthermal Transitions). Various damage mechanisms are discussed with respect to the pulse fluence and material properties on examples of diamond, amorphous carbon, C60 crystal, and silicon. We indicate conditions: producing thermal melting of targets as a result of electron-ion energy exchange; nonthermal phase transitions due to modification of the interatomic potential; Coulomb explosion due to accumulated net charge in finite-size systems; spallation or ablation at higher fluences due to detachment of sample fragments; and warm dense matter formation. Transient optical coefficients are compared with experimental data whenever available, proving the validity of our modeling approach. Predicted diffraction patterns can be compared with the results of ongoing or future FEL experiments. Limitations of our model and possible future directions of development are outlined.

description: I.FAST Task 7.2, Enabling Technologies for Ultra Low Emittance Rings, focuses on the networking in the field of low emittance rings, which is dominated by the recent upgrades of the X-ray storage rings and the exploitation of synergies with existing and future e+/e- colliders. Strengthening the networking activities in the key technologies of low-emitting rings leads to R&D paths that are closely linked to project partners, other facilities and scientific fields. To promote networking, Task 7.2 has so far organized five international workshops and one joint experiment. New networks have been established through workshops and scientific events, and synergies with other research and industrial areas have been realized through the organization of workshops with diversity and inclusion.

As a test process, we consider the leading colour two-loop contribution to qqbar to q'qbar'. We show that for physical scattering processes the two Smirnov-Veretin planar box graphs I1 and I2 are accompanied by factors of 1/(D-4) thereby necessitating a knowledge of both I1 and I2 to O(epsilon). Using an alternative basis I1 and the irreducible numerator integral I3, the factors of 1/(D-4) disappear.

description: Oil sands tailings are composed of charged clay colloidal solutions that are stabilized due to their double layer repulsions. Due to these repulsions, the microstructural arrangement of clay platelets in tailings is observed to be a stable house-of-cards like pattern with dominant edge-to-edge or edge-to-face attractions. The microstructural gaps from this arrangement tend to trap significant amounts of water. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was conducted on freeze dried samples to determine these gaps to be around 7 μm in control tailings with 40 wt.% clays and 30 μm in control tailings with 30 wt. % clays. In this study, we investigated the role of alternating current (AC) in inducing dewatering by collapsing this stable house-of-card structure. AC frequency caused localized charge displacements leading to formation of induced dipoles around clay double layers. These dipoles then underwent dielectrophoresis allowing face-to-face aggregation, which reduced microstructural gaps and caused dewatering. Depending on the electrical impedance of tailings-electrode load, decided by electrical properties of tailings and electrode configuration, optimal AC electric fields were identified and applied. AC frequencies between 10 kHz to 1 MHz were tested and a signature electric field between 500 and 1600 V/m was identified that resulted in the most desirable aggregation and dewatering effect. Control tailings with 30 and 40 wt.% solids content were tested and observed, respectively, to transform to 40–55 wt.% solids content on loose aggregation and 50 to 65 wt.% on strong aggregation. The dewatering effect arising from both aggregation cases resulted in about 12% water recovery, observed through gravity settling tests. Structural transformations of tailings post-AC treatment observed by SEM further prove the collapse of the stable house-of-card microstructural arrangement.

Information Technology and Economic Development: An Introduction to the Research Issues

Subjects: International Development

description: There is substantial evidence that new information technologies are in many ways transforming the operations of modern economies. More than half of employees use a computer at work in the most advanced industrial countries. About 10 per cent of the value of all private investment in fixed non-residential capital is devoted to computers and peripheral equipment in the United States and some other economies. This share goes up to 25 per cent when investment in information processing equipment is included. Nevertheless, all spending on information technology, including hardware, software and services, does not amount to more than 3-4 per cent of nominal GDP in these countries. The share is, however, increasing rapidly, indicating that a steady state has not yet been reached.Developing countries spend much less on information technology. The stark contrast in the penetration of information and communication equipment between the industrial and developing world is best summarized by the fact that more than half of humanity has never made a telephone call. The sharp decline in the price of computing and communication- about 20 per cent a year in the case of computers-is, however, bringing this technology within the reach of many, if not yet all, developing countries. The question about the costs and benefits arises naturally.Even in industrial countries, the impact of information technology has not been as deep or pervasive as the debate about the benefits of the global information society sometimes makes it appear. The literature review on the US experience shows that there is neither a 'productivity paradox' nor a substantial 'information payoff' associated with investment in computers or other forms of IT, but they seem to be 'pulling their weight'. This may, however, be a characteristic feature of the US economy in its present stage of development. Modern business information systems are being developed for the needs of large corporations in industrial countries. More research on other countries, developed and developing, is needed before firm policy conclusions can be drawn for economic development. This research should explore the role of information technology both as an intermediate input in production and as a final good in consumption. This paper prepares ground for such work.
Computing numerically the functional derivative of an effective action

description: The functional derivative of the effective action with respect to an external field is part of the equation of motion of this field if one-loop effects induced by quantum fluctuations or thermal fluctuations are included when minimizing the action of this field. Examples occur in all field theories displaying classical solutions or - as in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model - self consistent field configurations. We describe here a numerical method for computing such functional derivatives; we use a fermion field with Yukawa interaction to an external field as an example which is sufficiently simple and sufficiently general. We compare the computed functional derivative to analytical estimates.

The Weightless Economy in Economic Development

Subjects: International Development

description: Can the increasing significance of knowledge-products in national income— the growing weightless economy—influence economic development? Those technologies reduce “distance” between consumers and knowledge production. This paper analyzes a model embodying such a reduction. The model shows how demand-side attributes—consumer attitudes on complex goods; training, education, and skills for consumption (rather than production)—can importantly affect patterns of economic growth and development. Evidence from the failed Industrial Revolution in 14th-century China illustrates the empirical relevance of the analysis.

description: The properties of pentaquarks containing a heavy anti-quark and strange quarks are studied in the bound state picture. In the flavor SU(3) limit, there are many pentaquark states with the same binding energy. When the SU(3) symmetry breaking effects are included, however, three states become particularly stable due to a ``Gell-Mann--Okubo mechanism''. They are the $\bar Qsuud$ and $\bar Qsudd$ states discussed by Lipkin, and a a previously unstudied $\bar Qssud$ state. These states will have $J^P={1\over2}^+$ and their masses are estimated. These states, if exist, may be seen in experiments in the near future.

description: Novel wearable neurotechnology is able to provide insight into its wearer's cognitive processes and offers ways to change or enhance their capacities. Moreover, it offers the promise of hands-free device control. These brain-computer interfaces are likely to become an everyday technology in the near future, due to their increasing accessibility and affordability. We, therefore, must anticipate their impact, not only on society and individuals broadly but also more specifically on sectors such as traffic and transport. In an economy where attention is increasingly becoming a scarce good, these innovations may present both opportunities and challenges for daily activities that require focus, such as driving and cycling. Here, we argue that their development carries a dual risk. Firstly, BCI-based devices may match or further increase the intensity of cognitive human-technology interaction over the current hands-free communication devices which, despite being widely accepted, are well-known for introducing a significant amount of cognitive load and distraction. Secondly, BCI-based devices will be typically harder than hands-free devices to both visually detect (e.g., how can law enforcement check when these extremely small and well-integrated devices are used?) and restrain in their use (e.g., how do we prevent users from using such neurotechnologies without breaching personal integrity and privacy?). Their use in traffic should be anticipated by researchers, engineers, and policymakers, in order to ensure the safety of all road users.

The path integral can be solved in terms of an expansion of the homotopy classes of paths. I discuss the interference pattern of scattering by an Aharonov-Bohm gauge field in the flat space limit, yielding a characteristic oscillating behavior in terms of the field strength. In addition, the cases of the isotropic Higgs-oscillator and the Kepler-Coulomb potential on the hyperbolic plane are shortly sketched.

description: EU directives identified the textile sector as a key area for environmental, economic, and social assessment and process optimization, particularly in relation to water and energy use,  core focus of the CALIMERO project.

We are analyzing the high-temperature washing process of “Teintures et Impressions de Lyon (TIL)”, which involves the removal of cellulose from fibers, a water and energy-intensive process. To reduce the environmental burden of the process, we consider two aspects: (1) analysis of LCSA results of the current scenario and (2) process optimisation based on the previous step.

Considering the first aspect, we include Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Costing (LCC), and Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA). For LCA, we aim to follow the Product Environmental Footprint approach, based on the inventory data collected from the company TIL for all relevant flows (heat, electricity, water usage). The ecoinvent 3.9.1 database is utilized to cover background processes.

In the second step, namely the optimisation, we exploit the potential to recover heat from the washing water by integrating a suitably sized heat exchanger, which is of main concern. The challenge in this task lies in carrying out an optimisation built not only on thermodynamic properties that lead to calculate the most suitable heat exchange area, but also based on the results of step (1). The goal of the optimization is indeed to find the best solution that minimizes the economic costs and environmental burdens, while providing a social benefit. While considering the LCSA results of step (1), we also add the LCSA of the potential heat exchanger installed in the advanced configuration.

The challenges arise due to the absence of defined datasets for heat exchangers, and in defining the function that assess all the revelant parameters.

To overcome the first issue, a new dataset will be created for the specific heat exchanger, using data from relevant literature. For the second, a technoeconomic and social function will consider standard economic indicators, job creation potential and environmental CAPEX and OPEX”, which correspond respectively to the additional life cycle impacts of the heat exchanger for its manufacture & disposal, and avoided operational impacts of the boiler.

The ultimate goal is to achieve the best design condition that results in a reduction in energy and water usage, thereby directly optimize the industrial process and indirectly improving sustainability impacts.

description: The properties of the chiral phase transition at finite temperature and chemical potential are investigated within a nonlocal covariant extension of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model based on a separable quark-quark interaction. We consider both the situation in which the Minkowski quark propagator has poles at real energies and the case where only complex poles appear. In the literature, the latter has been proposed as a realization of confinement. In both cases, the behaviour of the physical quantities as functions of T and μis found to be quite similar. In particular, for low values of T the chiral transition is always of first order and, for finite quark masses, at certain "end point" the transition turns into a smooth crossover. In the chiral limit, this "end point" becomes a "tricritical" point. Our predictions for the position of these points are similar, although somewhat smaller, than previous estimates. Finally, the relation between the deconfining transition and chiral restoration is also discussed.

description: The inclusive and exclusive semileptonic decay distributions for b -> c decay are computed in the Shifman-Voloshin limit. The inclusive decay distributions (computed using an operator product expansion) depend on quark masses, and the exclusive decay distributions depend on hadron masses. Nevertheless, we show explicitly how the first two terms in the 1/m expansion match between the inclusive and exclusive decays. Agreement between the inclusive and exclusive decay rates requires a minimum smearing region of size Lambda_QCD before local duality holds in QCD. The alpha_s corrections to the inclusive and exclusive decay rates are also shown to agree to order (log m)/m^2. The alpha_s/m^2 corrections are used to obtain the alpha_s correction to Bjorken's inequality on the slope of the Isgur-Wise function.

Liberalization, Globalization and Income Distribution

description: Recent mainstream analyses of changes in income distribution over the post World War II period have concluded that income inequality within countries tends to be stable, that there is no strong association between growth and inequality and that, therefore, poverty is best reduced through growth oriented, rather than distributive, policies.This paper challenges this view. It argues that while income inequality declined in several nations between the 1950s and 1970s, this trend has been reversed during the last twenty years in two-thirds of the countries with adequate data. This conclusion is based on an econometric analysis of inequality trends for 77 countries accounting for 82 per cent of world population and 95 per cent of world GDP-PPP. Weighing the results by these two variables further strengthens these conclusions, which are supported also by a host of country and regional studies.This paper also suggests (without testing formally) that the traditional causes of income inequality (land concentration, unequal access to education, urban rural gap, and so on) are unlikely to explain its rise over the last two decades. Such an increase is more likely to be related to shifts towards skill-intensive technologies and, even more so, to the adoption of the unfettered liberalization of domestic and international markets. Easy generalizations are obviously not possible, as the impact in each nation depends on specific policy mixes and country circumstances. Yet, recurrent factors associated with the recent increase in inequality include: the decline in the labour share during structural adjustment; trade liberalization (in both the North and South); the ’financialization’ of the economy and the rise in the financial rent between 1982–96; erroneous approaches to the privatization of state assets; changes in labour institutions (reduced regulation, erosion of the minimum wage and of the trade unions, and higher labour mobility); and, in some countries, the erosion of the redistributive role of the state following the changes introduced over the last twenty years in the tax and transfer systems.Since the early 1990s, the international community has made the eradication of poverty its foremost development objective. Yet, the decline of poverty in the years ahead depends also on trends in income inequality, a fact which still attracts little concern by the policymakers. Much of the recent rise in income inequality must thus be viewed with alarm, as it may well prove to be incompatible with poverty reduction objectives.

Inequality in Income and Access to Education: A Cross-Country Analysis

description: In the current debate on the relationship between inequality in income distribution and growth one of the possible link works through the access to education. After reviewing this debate, a formal model shows how the imperfection of financial markets makes educational choices dependent on the distribution of family incomes. This leads to two testable predictions in the analysis of aggregate data on school enrolments: a negative (linear) relation with the Gini coefficient on incomes distribution; and a positive dependence on public resources invested in education and/or on skill premium in the labour market. These predictions are then tested on a (unbalanced) panel of 102 countries for the period 1960-90. The main findings of this analysis are that, once we control for the degree of development with the (log of) per capita output, financial constraints seem mainly relevant in limiting the access to secondary education. However, when considering gender differences, there is evidence that female participation in education is more strongly conditioned by family wealth, starting from primary education. On the contrary there is no clear evidence of a relevant impact of invested resources, but at the tertiary level.
A hadronuclear interpretation of a high-energy neutrino event coincident with a blazar flare

description: Although many high-energy neutrinos detected by the IceCube telescope are believed to have anextraterrestrial origin, their astrophysical sources remain a mystery. Recently, an unprecedenteddiscovery of a high-energy muon neutrino event coincident with a multiwavelength flare from ablazar, TXS 0506+056, shed some light on the origin of the neutrinos. It is usually believed that ablazar is produced by a relativistic jet launched from an accreting supermassive black hole (SMBH).Here we show that the high-energy neutrino event can be interpreted by the inelastic hadronuclearinteractions between the accelerated cosmic-ray protons in the relativistic jet and the dense gasclouds in the vicinity of the SMBH. Such a scenario only requires a moderate proton power in thejet, which could be much smaller than that required in the conventional hadronic model whichinstead calls upon the photomeson process. Meanwhile, the flux of the multiwavelength flare fromthe optical to gamma-ray band can be well explained by invoking a second radiation zone in thejet at a larger distance to the SMBH. In our model, the neutrino emission lasts a shorter time thanthe multiwavelength flare so the neutrino event is not necessarily correlated with the flare but it is probably accompanied by a spectrum hardening above a few GeV.

description: How is reliable physiological function maintained in cells despite considerable variability in the values of key parameters of multiple interacting processes that govern that function? Here we use the classic Hodgkin-Huxley formulation of the squid giant axon action potential to propose a possible approach to this problem. Although the full Hodgkin-Huxley model is very sensitive to fluctuations that independently occur in its many parameters, the outcome is in fact determined by simple combinations of these parameters along two physiological dimensions: Structural and Kinetic (denoted $S$ and $K$). Structural parameters describe the properties of the cell, including its capacitance and the densities of its ion channels. Kinetic parameters are those that describe the opening and closing of the voltage-dependent conductances. The impacts of parametric fluctuations on the dynamics of the system, seemingly complex in the high dimensional representation of the Hodgkin-Huxley model, are tractable when examined within the $S-K$ plane. We demonstrate that slow inactivation, a ubiquitous activity-dependent feature of ionic channels, is a powerful local homeostatic control mechanism that stabilizes excitability amid changes in structural and kinetic parameters.

description: We present a detailed and complete calculation of the neutralino contribution to the mass difference $Δm_{B_d^0}/m_{B_d^0}$\ within the MSSM. We include the complete mixing matrices of the neutralinos and of the scalar partners of the left and right handed bottom quark. We find that the neutralino contribution is generally small but can be of the same order of the chargino contribution and much larger than that of the gluino over a small range of $m_S$, given $m_{g_2}$ and $μ$ and for $\tanβ\sim 50$.
