description: We present measurements of the branching fractions and a search for CP-violating charge asymmetries in charmless hadronic decays of B mesons into two-body final states of kaons and pions. The results are based on a data sample of approximately 23 million BB(bar) pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC. We find the following branching fractions: BF(B0-->pi+pi-)= (4.1+/-1.0+/-0.7) x 10^{-6}, BF(B0-->K+pi-)=(16.7+/-1.6+/-1.3) x 10^{-6}, BF(B+-->K+pi0)=(10.8^{+2.1}_{-1.9}+/-1.0) x 10^{-6}, BF(B+-->K0pi+)=(18.2^{+3.3}_{-3.0}+/-2.0) x 10^{-6}, BF(B0-->K0pi0)=(8.2^{+3.1}_{-2.7}+/-1.2) x 10^{-6}. We also report the 90% confidence level upper limits BF(B0-->K+K-) < 2.5 x 10^{-6}, BF(B+-->pi+pi0) < 9.6 x 10^{-6}, and BF(B+-->anti-K0K+) < 2.4 x 10^{-6}. In addition, charge asymmetries have been measured and found to be consistent with zero, where the statistical precision is in the range of +/-0.10 to +/-0.18, depending on the decay mode.

description: Abstract: Enhanced/prolonged cAMP signalling has been suggested as a suppressor of cancer proliferation. Interestingly, two key modulators that elevate cAMP, the A2A receptor (A2AR) and phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A), are differentially co-expressed in various types of non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) cell-lines. Thus, finding dual-target compounds, which are simultaneously agonists at the A2AR whilst also inhibiting PDE10A, could be a novel anti-proliferative approach. Using ligand- and structure-based modelling combined with MD simulations (which identified Val84 displacement as a novel conformational descriptor of A2AR activation), a series of known PDE10A inhibitors were shown to dock to the orthosteric site of the A2AR. Subsequent in-vitro analysis confirmed that these compounds bind to the A2AR and exhibit dual-activity at both the A2AR and PDE10A. Furthermore, many of the compounds exhibited promising anti-proliferative effects upon NSCLC cell-lines, which directly correlated with the expression of both PDE10A and the A2AR. Thus, we propose a structure-based methodology, which has been validated in in-vitro binding and functional assays, and demonstrated a promising therapeutic value.

description: We present an extension of the FKS subtraction scheme beyond next-to-leading order to deal with soft singularities in fully differential calculations within QED with massive fermions. After a detailed discussion of the next-to-next-to-leading order case, we show how to extend the scheme to even higher orders in perturbation theory. As an application we discuss the computation of the next-to-next-to-leading order QED corrections to the muon decay and present differential results with full electron mass dependence.

Problem of evil

description: Abstract: This paper explores a variety of perfect being theism that combines Yujin Nagasawa’s maximal God thesis with the view that God is not atemporal. We argue that the original maximal God thesis still implicitly relies on a “static” view of divine perfections. Instead, following the recent re-evaluation of divine immutability by analytic philosophers, we propose that thinking of divine great-making properties (omnipotence, omniscience etc.) as fluctuating but nevertheless remaining maximal either for every time t or across all times strengthens the original maximal God thesis. Furthermore, we show that “temporalising” Nagasawa’s maximal God and adopting what we call the fluctuating maximal God thesis provides more effective ways of responding to objections to perfect being theism, in particular, the argument from evil and some conceptual problems pertaining to the Incarnation. Finally, we demonstrate that our proposal is compatible with Christian Scriptures and coheres with numerous biblical passages better than Nagasawa’s original proposal does.

description: Theory of light absorption and circular photocurrent in Weyl semimetals is developed for arbitrary large light intensities with account for both elastic and inelastic relaxation processes of Weyl fermions. The direct optical transition rate is shown to saturate at large intensity, and the saturation behaviour depends on the light polarization and on the ratio of the elastic and inelastic relaxation times. The linear-circular dichroism in absorption is shown to exceed 10~\% at intermediate light wave amplitudes and fast energy relaxation. At large intensity $I$, the light absorption coefficient drops as $1/\sqrt{I}$, and the circular photogalvanic current increases as $\sqrt{I}$.

title: Three essays on corporate finance

Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Behavioral finance, investor attention, overnight returns, mergers and acquisitions, CEO social network, cash holdings, the marginal value of cash.

description: The primary objective of this thesis is to empirically investigate and offer behavioral explanations to two distinct areas of corporate decision-making: (i) mergers and acquisitions and (ii) corporate cash holdings. Based on the premise that it’s the retail investors who primarily trade during the overnight period, the first empirical study proposes absolute overnight returns (AOR) as a proxy for retail investor attention. AOR plays a vital role in the context of one of the largest and most significant corporate events - merger announcements. The study finds that AOR positively affects the acquirer abnormal returns and abnormal trading volumes. The short-term overreaction is corrected by price reversals in the post-announcement period. The set of results are strongest for bidders with low institutional ownership and bidders that are hard to value. The results further hold for the overreaction hypothesis related to stock swap deals while rejecting the notion that our proxy AOR captures investor sentiment. The second study empirically examines the role of CEO connectedness, the relative position of a CEO in the social network hierarchy on the corporate cash holdings. The study finds that cash holdings are on average higher firms for the firms managed by network-powerful CEOs. Lending support to the CEO power hypothesis the positive association is stronger for firm-year observations with investment spikes, greater financial constraint, weaker corporate governance, low institutional monitoring, and raising cash regimes. The results are robust to a series of tests and alternative explanations. The third study empirically examines the role of CEO connectedness on the value of cash and finds that cash holding is on average less valuable for the firms managed by network-powerful CEOs. In economic terms, a network-powerful CEO on board is associated with a value loss of 44 cents in every $1.00 of cash holdings. Providing support to the CEO power hypothesis the negative association is stronger for firm-year observations with investment spikes, weaker corporate governance, low institutional monitoring, and distributing cash regimes. The results are robust to a series of tests and alternate explanations.

description: A novel criterion to determine the presence of gravitational radiation arriving to, or departing from, null infinity of any weakly asymptotically-simple space-time with vanishing cosmological constant is given. The quantities involved are geometric, of tidal nature, with good gauge behaviour and univocally defined at null infinity. The relationship with the classical characterisation using the News tensor is analysed in detail. A new balance law at infinity is presented, which may be useful to define `radiation states'.

description: Smoke aroma taint in wine is a frequent issue in the wine industry over recent years. Wine made from grapes that have been affected by smoke can have unpleasant burnt, leather, smoky, ashy, sensory attributes. Given that it is not easy to control wildfires, there is a need to develop remedies for smoke effect in grapes, or wine or both. Of the studies done, there has been less success in amelioration of smoke effects either in the vineyard, fermentation, or post-wine production. Use of reverse osmosis with solid phase adsorption reduces free smoke related phenols but not bound smoke related phenols. This project evaluates the use of nanofiltration combined with immobilized β-glucosidase and adsorption carbon to reduce both free and bound smoke-related phenols in wine. Smoke affected wines were treated using commercial reverse osmosis (with a nanofiltration membrane). β-glucosidase was immobilized in chitosan-silica support which had been crosslinked with glutaraldehyde. Before treating smoke affected wine
description: with enzyme, the stability of β-glucosidase in wine conditions was evaluated. Untreated wines and their respective permeates were then subjected to batch hydrolysis by immobilized β-glucosidase to break the bound phenol-glycosides. Immobilized β-glucosidase was found to be stable under various wine conditions. Concentration of smoke volatile phenols decreased in wine after treatment with nanofiltration. The yield of enzyme hydrolysis is dependent on the initial concentration of free smoke-related phenols, temperature, incubation time and batch or continuous hydrolysis. Batch enzyme hydrolysis of phenol-glycosides had varying results depending on temperature and incubation period where 35 °C had the highest rate of hydrolysis of phenol-glycosides in both permeate and wine compared to 15 °C, 25 °C and 45 °C. Using multistep batch hydrolysis, most of the free and bound phenols were found to be lowered to non-detectable concentrations after 3 treatment cycles. Generally, this study demonstrated that nanofiltration in conjunction with enzyme hydrolysis and adsorption carbon column can be used as remedy for smoke affected wines to reduce both free and bound smoke related compounds.
description: However, this needs to be further evaluated to design a system that minimizes loss of ‘good’ wine compounds.

description: We study a simple modification of the optimized random phase approximation (ORPA) aimed at improving the performance of the theory for interactions with a narrow attractive well by taking into account contributions to the direct correlation function non-linear in the interaction. The theory is applied to a hard-core Yukawa and a square-well potential. Results for the equation of state, the correlations, and the critical point have been obtained for attractions of several ranges, and compared with Monte Carlo simulations. When the attractive interaction is narrow, the modified ORPA significantly improves over the plain one, especially with regard to the consistency between different routes to the thermodynamics, the two-body correlation function, and the critical temperature. However, while the spinodal curve of the modified theory is accessible, the liquid-vapor coexistence curve is not. A possible strategy to overcome this drawback is suggested.

description: The ferromagnetic transition in the Ising model is the paradigmatic example of ergodicity breaking accompanied by symmetry breaking. It is routinely assumed that the thermodynamic limit is taken with free or periodic boundary conditions. More exotic symmetry-preserving boundary conditions, like cylindrical antiperiodic, are less frequently used for special tasks, such as the study of phase coexistence or the roughening of an interface. Here we show, instead, that when the thermodynamic limit is taken with these boundary conditions, a novel type of transition takes place below $T_c$ (the usual Ising transition temperature) without breaking neither ergodicity nor symmetry. Then, the low temperature phase is characterized by a regime (condensation) of strong magnetization's fluctuations which replaces the usual ferromagnetic ordering. This is due to critical correlations perduring for all T below Tc. The argument is developed exactly in the $d=1$ case and numerically in the d=2 case.

description: A few years ago, we started upgrading AO188 into AO3k, including the real-time control system, laser guide star system, deformable mirror (DM), and wavefront sensors (WFSs). In this paper, we present the development of a non-linear curvature WFS (nlCWFS) as a new visible WFS for the upgraded AO3k system. We also introduce the optical and optomechanical design of the nlCWFS. The nlCWFS has two new features: one is the dual-stroke linear mode, and the other one is to deploy non-linear wavefront reconstruction. The dual-stroke linear mode provides a good sensitivity for both low- and high-order aberrations. Also, the non-linear wavefront reconstruction provides a large dynamic range. By combining the linear and non-linear methods, the nlCWFS takes both advantages. Finally, we present laboratory demonstration results of closed-loop experiments in the lab with linear and non-linear wavefront reconstruction algorithms.

description: We study BFKL evolution and, in particular, the energy dependence of the saturation momentum in the presence of saturation boundaries limiting the region of linear BFKL evolution. In the case of fixed coupling evolution we confirm the previously found exponential term in $Q_s(Y)$ and determine the prefactor $Y$ and $α$ dependences. In the running coupling case we find $Y^{1/6}$ corrections to the $Y^{1/2}$exponential behavior previously known. Geometrical scaling of the scattering amplitude is valid in a wide-range of momenta for fixed coupling evolution and in a more restricted region for running coupling evolution.

description: Link prediction is critical for the application of incomplete knowledge graph (KG) in the downstream tasks. As a family of effective approaches for link predictions, embedding methods try to learn low-rank representations for both entities and relations such that the bilinear form defined therein is a well-behaved scoring function. Despite of their successful performances, existing bilinear forms overlook the modeling of relation compositions, resulting in lacks of interpretability for reasoning on KG. To fulfill this gap, we propose a new model called DihEdral, named after dihedral symmetry group. This new model learns knowledge graph embeddings that can capture relation compositions by nature. Furthermore, our approach models the relation embeddings parametrized by discrete values, thereby decrease the solution space drastically. Our experiments show that DihEdral is able to capture all desired properties such as (skew-) symmetry, inversion and (non-) Abelian composition, and outperforms existing bilinear form based approach and is comparable to or better than deep learning models such as ConvE.

description: We consider condensation of localized closed string tachyons by examining the recent proposal of Harvey, Kutasov, Martinec, and Moore. We first observe that the $g_{\rm cl}$ defined by HKMM does not reflect the space-time supersymmetry when the model has the SUSY. Especially for ${\bf C}^2/{\bf Z}_N$ models, $g_{\rm cl}$ defined by them is highly peaked along the supersymmetric points in the space of orbifolds, which is unsatisfactory property of the "potential" of the RG-flow. We give the modified definition of the $g_{\rm cl}$ in type II cases such that it has a valley along the supersymmetric points in the orbifold moduli space. New definition predicts that the processes suggested by Adams, Polchinski and Silverstein and was argued to be forbidden by HKMM are in fact allowed.

description: The necessity of chemical use reduction in agriculture is frequently mentioned. Due to the technical development of chemical and machine industries, we have solutions to spread fewer ingredients per hectare than we did 30 years ago. One of these techniques is site-specific crop production. Depending on the number of farms and land used by turning to site-specific pesticide use, the savings vary between 5341 to 10 682 tons of ingredient in Hungary, and 5110 to 10 221 tons in Poland. Although site-specific crop production is compatible with ecological, economic and social sustainability, its real diffusion is not as fast as it could be. In both countries it is suggested to strengthen medium sized farms and encourage shifting them to site-specific farming, supporting machine sharing forms and services offered by other companies.

description: In this paper, an optimal energy management model for a RTG crane supplied by a hybrid diesel generator/battery system is developed. The aim of the model is to reduce the energy cost spending and CO2 emission by minimizing the amount of fuel consumed by the diesel generator, and maximizing the potential energy recovered through the regenerative braking during the container lowering phase. As a case study, a 40 tonnes RTG crane operating in South Africa has been selected. The demand profile, size of the diesel generator as well as of the battery storage system are used as input to the model developed. Simulations, for a complete RTG handling cycle, have been conducted to evaluate the techno-economic performances of the developed model use to optimally dispatch the power flow in the system during the different phases of operation. As compared to the baseline case where the diesel generator is used alone to handle the same demand, the simulation results for the selected day of operation have shown that using the proposed model, a 40.6% reduction in the operation cost as well as CO2 emission is achievable in the case of the proposed system without energy recovery; while 82.17% is achievable in the case the energy recovery is included. Looking further into the stochastic nature of the demand, the analysis on a year of operation have revealed that 76.04% in operation cost can be potentially saved using the proposed system. The result of the true payback period analysis has shown that the overall investment cost may be recovered in 1.36 years. Additionally, it can be seen from the results that the peak power demand on the diesel generator has been reduced, this can assist in reducing the power rating and the initial cost of the diesel generator.

description: The trend towards ever larger telescopes and more advanced adaptive optics systems is driving the need for deformable mirrors with a large number of low cost actuators. Liquid mirrors have long been recognized a potential low cost alternative to conventional solid mirrors. By using a water or oil based ferrofluid we are able to benefit from a stronger magnetic response than is found in magnetic liquid metal amalgams and avoid the difficulty of passing a uniform current through a liquid. Depositing a thin silver colloid known as a metal liquid-like film (MELLF) on the ferrofluid surface solves the problem of low reflectivity of pure ferrofluids. This combination provides a liquid optical surface that can be precisely shaped in a magnetic field. We present experimental results obtained with a prototype deformable liquid mirror based on this combination.

description: The objective of this paper is to study the sustainable development of agricultural production using the example of an average Polish farm. This study was performed using multiple objective optimization models. Based on statistical data, two models were developed. Model I described a farm involved in plant production, while model II discussed a farm combining plant and animal production. The objective functions for both of these models were related to farm income, agricultural production and the amount of soil organic matter. These objectives aimed at maintaining a balance – vital for sustainable development – between the economic, production and ecological objectives. The results of optimal solutions presented such a production structure that did not cause environmental degradation, provided the highest farm income possible under the given conditions, and ensured high standards of production both for the farmer’s own needs and for sale. The agricultural production structures in both the models differ slightly. Farm income gained in the animal farm is approx. 85% higher than that in the farm that only produces crops. In both the models, the application of sustainable production principles helped to achieve a positive soil organic matter balance.

DISENTANGLED AO

description: The Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet REsearch instrument (SPHERE) is a European Southern Observatory (ESO) exoplanet imaging instrument installed on the 8m Very Large Telescope at Paranal (Chile). The results obtained during 8 years of operation since its commissioning in 2014 have encouraged ESO to define new science objective and thus to develop an upgrade of the instrument withing the SPHERE+ project. Considering the predominant role of adaptive optics (AO) for high contrast imaging and coronography, it has been decided to update the AO system of SPHERE by adding a second stage of correction that will take as an input the residual wavefront from the first stage. This article presents some control developments for this second AO stage, including specific issues induced by the two-stage approach. We investigate a particular solution to address the problem of a non stochastic signal arising from the oversampling of the first stage residue.

description: Over the last few years, a proliferation of attempts to define, understand and fight the spread of problematic information in contemporary media ecosystems emerged. Most of these attempts focus on false content and/or bad actors detection. In this paper, we argue for a wider ecological focus. Using the frame of media manipulation and a revised version of the ‘coordinated inauthentic behavior’ original definition, the paper presents a study based on an unprecedented combination of Facebook data, accessed through the CrowdTangle API, and two datasets of Italian political news stories published in the run-up to the 2018 Italian general election and 2019 European election. By focusing on actors’ collective behavior, we identified several networks of pages, groups, and verified public profiles (‘entities’), that shared the same political news articles on Facebook within a very short period of time. Some entities in our networks were openly political, while others, despite sharing political content too, deceptively presented themselves as entertainment venues. The proportion of inauthentic entities in a network affects the wideness of the range of news media sources they shared, thus pointing to different strategies and possible motivations. The paper has both theoretical and empirical implications: it frames the concept of ‘coordinated inauthentic behavior’ in existing literature, introduces a method to detect coordinated link sharing behavior and points out different strategies and methods employed by networks of actors willing to manipulate the media and public opinion.

description: We studied the exciton energy in a type II quantum disk as a function of the magnetic field, disk radius R and height d. We found angular momentum transitions for dots with d >> 2R. Application of an electric field perpendicular to the disk showed a non-linear Stark shift. In the case of three vertically coupled dots angular momentum transistions were found for small interdot distances which disappeared with increasing interdot distance.

description: Monte-Carlo simulations and small-angle x-ray scattering experiments were used to determine the phase diagram of aqueous dispersions of titratable nano-colloids with a moderate size polydispersity over a broad range of monovalent salt concentrations, 0.5 mM $\leq c_s \leq$ 50 mM and volume fractions, $ϕ$. Under slow and progressive increase in $ϕ$, the dispersions freeze into a face-centered-cubic (fcc) solid followed unexpectedly by the formation of a body centered cubic (bcc) phase before to melt in a glass forming liquid. The simulations are found to predict very well these observations. They suggest that the stabilization of the bcc solid at the expense of the fcc phase at high $ϕ$ and $c_s$ results from the interaction (charge) polydispersity and vibrational entropy.

CP violation and CKM predictions from Discrete Torsion

description: We present a supersymmetric D-brane model that has CP spontaneously broken by discrete torsion. The low energy physics is largely independent of the compactification scheme and the kahler metric has `texture zeros' dictated by the choice of discrete torsion. This motivates a simple ansatz for the kahler metric which results in a CKM matrix given in terms of two free parameters, hence we predict a single mixing angle and the CKM phase. The CKM phase is predicted to be close to Pi/3.

description: The calculations of the inelastic spin wave scattering by flexure vibrations of the Bloch domain wall (Winters magnons) in thin magnetic films are presented. The approach is based on the interaction of the propagating spin waves with the dynamical emergent electromagnetic field generated by the moving inhomogeneous magnetization texture (domain wall). The probability of the spin wave scattering for the Winters magnon emission and absorption processes essentially rises with the spin wave scattering angle increase up to 900. The angular dependence of the scattering probability is essentially stronger for the magnon absorption processes that allow distinguishing these elementary emission/absorption processes experimentally.
