description: Star formation and quenching are two of the most important processes in galaxy formation and evolution. We explore in the local Universe the interrelationships among key integrated galaxy properties, including stellar mass $M_*$, star formation rate (SFR), specific SFR (sSFR), molecular gas mass $M_{\rm H_2}$, star formation efficiency (SFE) of the molecular gas and molecular gas to stellar mass ratio $μ$. We aim to identify the most fundamental scaling relations among these key galaxy properties and their interrelationships. We show the integrated $M_{\rm H_2}$-SFR, SFR-$M_*$ and $M_{\rm H_2}$-$M_*$ relation can be simply transformed from the $μ$-sSFR, SFE-$μ$ and SFE-sSFR relation, respectively. The transformation, in principle, can increase or decrease the scatter of each relation. Interestingly, we find the latter three relations all have significantly smaller scatter than the former three corresponding relations. We show the probability to achieve the observed small scatter by accident is extremely close to zero. This suggests that the smaller scatters of the latter three relations are driven by a more fundamental physical connection among these quantities. We then show the large scatters in the former relations are due to their systematic dependence on other galaxy properties, and on star formation and quenching process. We propose the sSFR-$μ$-SFE relation as the Fundamental Formation Relation (FFR), which governs the star formation and quenching process, and provides a simple framework to study galaxy evolution. Other scaling relations, including integrated Kennicutt-Schmidt law, star-forming main sequence and molecular gas main sequence, can all be derived from the FFR.

description: A new library of 1,3,4-thiadiazole bearing 1,3,5-triazine-thiazole (9a–j) compounds have been designed, synthesized, and assessed for their in vitro anticancer applications against a panel of human cancer cell lines, including prostate cancer (PC3&DU-145), lung cancer (A549), and breast cancer (MCF-7) by using the MTT method. The results were expressed as IC50 µM. Most of the tested compounds displayed good to moderate activity and were compared with the standard compound etoposide. The IC50 values ranged for synthesized compounds from 0.11 ± 0.078 to 10.6 ± 5.47 µM and etoposide showed values ranging from 1.97 ± 0.45 to 3.08 ± 0.135 µM. Among the evaluated compounds, five (9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, and 9e) were found to show more potent activity. Specifically, compound 9a displayed good activity.

description: A new library of amide derivatives of quinazoline-1, 2, 4-thiadiazoles (12a–j) has been synthesized and its structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectral data. The in-vitro anticancer activity of all the newly derived compounds (12a–j) was assessed for their preliminary anticancer applications toward different cancer cell lines including MCF-7 (breast cancer), A549 (lung cancer), Colo-205 (colon cancer) and A2780 (ovarian cancer) by employing the MTT method using Etoposide as a positive control. From the table the results indicated that most of the tested compounds displayed good to moderate activity compared to etoposide. Among the twelve compounds synthesized, compounds 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d, 12e and 12f possessed more potent activity than the positive control. Particularly, compound 12a displayed superior anticancer activity.
N=4 SYM to Two Loops: Compact Expressions for the Non-Compact Symmetry Algebra of the su(1,1|2) Sector

description: We begin a study of higher-loop corrections to the dilatation generator of N=4 SYM in non-compact sectors. In these sectors, the dilatation generator contains infinitely many interactions, and therefore one expects very complicated higher-loop corrections. Remarkably, we find a short and simple expression for the two-loop dilatation generator. Our solution for the non-compact su(1,1|2) sector consists of nested commutators of four O(g) generators and one simple auxiliary generator. Moreover, the solution does not require the planar limit; we conjecture that it is valid for any gauge group. To obtain the two-loop dilatation generator, we find the complete O(g^3) symmetry algebra for this sector, which is also given by concise expressions. We check our solution using published results of direct field theory calculations. By applying the expression for the two-loop dilatation generator to compute selected anomalous dimensions and the bosonic sl(2) sector internal S-matrix, we confirm recent conjectures of the higher-loop Bethe ansatz of hep-th/0412188.

For small tan(beta) [large tan(beta)], the relevant scenarios are such that there is always (often) a SM-like Higgs boson that decays to two lighter -- possibly much lighter -- pseudoscalar Higgses.

description: We study the effect of transport processes (diffusion and free--streaming) on a collapsing spherically symmetric distribution of matter in a self--similar space--time. A very simple solution shows interesting features when it is matched with the Vaidya exterior solution. In the mixed case (diffusion and free--streaming), we find a barotropic equation of state in the stationary regime. In the diffusion approximation the gravitational potential at the surface is always constant; if we perturb the stationary state, the system is very stable, recovering the barotropic equation of state as time progresses. In the free--streaming case the self--similar evolution is stationary but with a non--barotropic equation of state.

description: The bulk reconstruction program aims to obtain representations of bulk fields as operators in the boundary CFT. In this paper we extend the program by obtaining the boundary representation for a scalar field in a rotating BTZ black hole. We find that the representation of the field near the inner horizon shows novel features. We also obtain a representation for fields inside the horizon as operators in a single boundary CFT using mirror operator construction.

description: We investigate the two-dimensional ($2$D) inviscid compressible flow equations in axisymmetric coordinates, constrained by an ideal gas equation of state (EOS). Beginning with the assumption that the $2$D velocity field is space-time separable and linearly variable in each corresponding spatial coordinate, we proceed to derive an infinite family of elliptic or hyperbolic, uniformly expanding or contracting ``gas cloud'' solutions. Construction of specific example solutions belonging to this family is dependent on the solution of a system of nonlinear, coupled, second-order ordinary differential equations, and the prescription of an additional physical process of interest (e.g., uniform temperature or uniform entropy flow). The physical and computational implications of these solutions as pertaining to quantitative code verification or model qualification studies are discussed in some detail.

description: To study the electron-phonon mechanism of superconductivity in NaxCoO2, we perform semiquantitative analysis of the electron-phonon interaction (EPI) between relevant optical phonons (breathing and shear phonons) and t_{2g} electrons (a_{1g} and e_g' electrons) in the presence of trigonal distortion. We consider two kinds of contributions to the EPI; the EPI originating from the Coulomb potential of O ions and that originating from the d-p transfer integral between Co and O in CoO_6 octahedron. We find that the EPI for shear phonons, which induces the interorbital hopping of electrons, is large in NaxCoO_2 because of the trigonal distortion of CoO_2 layer. For this reason, Tc for s-wave pairing is prominently enlarged owing to interorbital hopping of Cooper pairs induced by shear phonons, even if the top of e_g' electron band is close to but below the Fermi level as suggested experimentally. This mechanism of superconductivity is referred to as the valence-band Suhl-Kondo (SK) mechanism. Since the SK mechanism is seldom damaged by the Coulomb repulsion, s-wave superconductivity is realized irrespective of large Coulomb interaction U~5 eV at Co sites. We also study the oxygen isotope effect on Tc, and find that it becomes very small due to strong Coulomb interaction. Finally, we discuss the possible mechanism of anisotropic s-wave superconducting state in NaxCoO2, resulting from the coexistence of strong EPI and the antiferromagnetic fluctuations.

description: We theoretically study the effects of spin-orbit interactions on symmetry of a Cooper pair in a spin-singlet d-wave superconductor in two-dimension. The pairing symmetry is analyzed in terms of the anomalous Green's function which is obtained by solving the Gor'kov equation analytically. A spin-orbit interaction induces a spin-triplet p-wave pairing correlation in a uniform superconductor. An odd-frequency spin-triplet s-wave pairing correlation appears at a surface of such superconductor as a result of breaking inversion symmetry locally. We also discuss a close relationship among the odd-frequency pairing correlation, chirality of surface bound states at the zero energy, and the anomalous proximity effect. The obtained results enable us to design a superconductor which causes the strong anomalous proximity effect.

description: The Kentucky Soils Data System is an extensive data file of the physical properties and characteristics of soils as determined by field and laboratory testing. Site locations are available for most samples. Since Kentucky has been mapped geologically (scale 1:24,000), the bedrock at each of these sample locations can be determined, providing better opportunities for studying soil-bedrock (parent material) relationships. A complimentary report covers data input. This report is divided into two sections: data availability and data retrieval. The first section is designed to show the quantity and types of data available and how the data are distributed geographically. The second section consists of example problems showing how the data may be retrieved in the form of various lists or tables.

description: X-ray diffraction microscopy (XDM) is a new form of x-ray imaging that is being practiced at several third-generation synchrotron-radiation x-ray facilities. Although only five years have elapsed since the technique was first introduced, it has made rapid progress in demonstrating high-resolution threedimensional imaging and promises few-nm resolution with much larger samples than can be imaged in the transmission electron microscope. Both life- and materials-science applications of XDM are intended, and it is expected that the principal limitation to resolution will be radiation damage for life science and the coherent power of available x-ray sources for material science. In this paper we address the question of the role of radiation damage. We use a statistical analysis based on the so-called "dose fractionation theorem" of Hegerl and Hoppe to calculate the dose needed to make an image of a lifescience sample by XDM with a given resolution. We conclude that the needed dose scales with the inverse fourth power of the resolution and present experimental evidence to support this finding. To determine the maximum tolerable dose we have assembled a number of data taken from the literature plus some measurements of our own which cover ranges of resolution that are not well covered by reports in the literature. The tentative conclusion of this study is that XDM should be able to image frozen-hydrated protein samples at a resolution of about 10 nm with "Rose-criterion" image quality.

description: This study involved the field testing of four types of pavement tapes, all manufactured by the 3M Company. The tapes evaluated included Scotchlane, Stamark Removable, Stamark, and an experimental tape. The experimental tape had an extremely high initial reflectivity but poor durability, which would preclude use in its present form. The remaining tapes exhibited good durability when used as lanelines and edgelines. The Scotchlane tape exhibited the best long-term reflectivity. The Stamark tape does not provide sufficient reflectivity and could not be used in areas where delineation would be critical. The Stamark Removable tape was easily removed manually after one or more years of field testing.

description: As a consequence of the reorientation of the Swiss as well as the European agricultural policy, prices for agricultural products drop and farmers have to reduce their production costs or will lose income. Therefore a lot of farmers have a high incentive to change their production structures. One of the most effective strategies to reduce production costs is going into cooperation and collaboration with other farmers. Therewith farmers can profit from scale effects without changing the property rights. Several case studies as well as results from modeling reveal that farmers have more income with less workload. In reality only 3% of Swiss farmers have gone into a collective farming system. Weaker forms of cooperation like sharing machinery are more common between farmers. Their main reasons not going into cooperation are often the loss of autonomy of decision in combination with financial risks. And here trust can act as a counterbalance. Farmers with positive experiences from weaker forms of cooperation are able to assess their partners regarding trust. And their trust enhance when their partners are capable and loyal for a stronger cooperation form.

description: The process of developing appropriate supply chain performance measurement instruments is difficult due to the complexity of supply chains. This paper presents an overview and evaluation of the performance measurement instruments used in supply chain models. As a result it advances a framework for developing an innovative supply chain performance measurement instrument which is generally applicable and which incorporates single organisational measures with inter-organisational and supply chain measures. The instrument distinguishes between qualitative and quantitative performance measures. Finally, it proposes supply chain satisfaction balance/ imbalance, as a qualitative supply chain performance measure.

description: We study statistical properties of voids in the distribution of mass, dark-matter haloes and galaxies (B_J10^11.5 M_sun/h, similar to the median halo mass, M_med=10^11.3 M_sun/h. We also find that the number density of galaxy- and halo-defined voids can be up to two orders of magnitude higher than mass-defined voids for large void radii. As expected, there are outflow velocities which show their maximum at larger void-centric distances for larger voids (well described by a linear relation). The void-centric distance where this maximum occurs, follows a suitable power law fit of the form, log(d_vmax)=(r_void/A)^B. At sufficiently large distances, we find mild infall motions onto the sub-dense regions. We find that a similar analysis in redshift space would make both outflows and infalls to appear with a lower amplitude. We also find that the velocity dispersion of galaxies and haloes is larger in the direction parallel to the void walls by ~10-20%. We analyse the void-tracer cross-correlation functions in real- and redshift-space as a function of separation, and also as a function of separations parallel and perpendicular to the line of sight. The distortion pattern observed in xi(sigma,pi) is that of an elongation along the line of sight which extends out to large separations. Positive xi contours evidence finger-of-god motions at the void walls. Elongations along the line of sight are roughly comparable between galaxy-, halo- and mass-defined voids. (Abridged)

description: Seismicity and faulting within the Earth crust are characterized by many scaling laws that are usually interpreted as qualifying the existence of underlying physical mechanisms associated with some kind of criticality in the sense of phase transitions. Using an augmented Epidemic-Type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS) model that accounts for the spatial variability of the background rates $μ(x,y)$, we present a direct quantitative test of criticality. We calibrate the model to the ANSS catalog of the entire globe, the region around California, and the Geonet catalog for the region around New Zealand using an extended Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm including the determination of $μ(x,y)$. We demonstrate that the criticality reported in previous studies is spurious and can be attributed to a systematic upward bias in the calibration of the branching ratio of the ETAS model, when not accounting correctly for spatial variability. We validate the version of the ETAS model which possesses a space varying background rate $μ(x,y)$ by performing pseudo prospective forecasting tests. The non-criticality of seismicity has major implications for the prediction of large events.

description: We develop the BRST approach to Lagrangian formulation for massive higher integer spin fields on a flat space-time of arbitrary dimension. General procedure of gauge invariant Lagrangian construction describing the dynamics of massive bosonic field with any spin is given. No off-shell constraints on the fields (like tracelessness) and the gauge parameters are imposed. The procedure is based on construction of new representation for the closed algebra generated by the constraints defining an irreducible massive bosonic representation of the Poincare group. We also construct Lagrangian describing propagation of all massive bosonic fields simultaneously. As an example of the general procedure, we derive the Lagrangians for spin-1, spin-2 and spin-3 fields containing total set of auxiliary fields and gauge symmetries of free massive bosonic higher spin field theory.

description: Motivated by the observation of spiral patterns in a wide range of physical, chemical, and biological systems we present an approach that aims at characterizing quantitatively spiral-like elements in complex stripe-like patterns. The approach provides the location of the spiral tip and the size of the spiral arms in terms of their arclength and their winding number. In addition, it yields the number of pattern components (Betti number), as well as their size and certain aspects of their shape. We apply the method to spiral defect chaos in thermally driven Rayleigh-Bénard convection and find that the arclength of spirals decreases monotonically with decreasing Prandtl number of the fluid and increasing heating. By contrast, the winding number of the spirals is non-monotonic in the heating. The distribution function for the number of spirals is significantly narrower than a Poisson distribution. The distribution function for the winding number shows approximately an exponential decay. It depends only weakly on the heating, but strongly on the Prandtl number. Large spirals arise only for larger Prandtl numbers ($Pr \gtrsim 1$). In this regime the joint distribution for the spiral length and the winding number exhibits a three-peak structure indicating the dominance of Archimedean spirals of opposite sign and relatively straight sections. For small Prandtl numbers the distribution function reveals a large number of small compact pattern components.

description: The increasing importance of services in industrialized economies is reflected in the relative importance of service in product offerings at the retail level. Yet, typical economic studies account only for physical product attributes in models of product differentiation even when conducted with retail data. In U.S. food retailing, the issue is very important as raw farm products account for only 19% of every dollar the consumer pays for food, most of the remaining going to services that do not transform the product but that add consumer utility and cost. In this paper, we examine this issue using the case of breakfast cereals in Boston in the context of upscale retail services provided by supermarkets. Focusing on ready-to-eat cereals (RTECs) allows us to look more closely at the role of services in product market equilibrium. First, supermarket retail services go beyond the obvious single product exchange function as consumers value services and suppliers incur a cost in providing them. Given that retail services affect the primitives of the market, i.e., demand and costs, they also affect retail prices. Third, regardless of inter-supermarket variation in costs and prices, the issue of who’s got the power in the RTEC vertical market channel has been a hotly debated issue. The usual suspect has been the RTEC manufacturing industry, although previous studies have not modeled the retailing stage of the marketing channel to determine their relative contribution to channel price-cost margins and the role of retail services. The conventional wisdom is that the RTEC manufacturing industry mutes price competition and engages in non-price competition (Schmalensee, 1978; Scherer, 1982). This paper contributes to the literature in two important ways. First, it extends the Berry, Levinsohn and Pakes (BLP, 1995) model of market equilibrium to ready-to-eat cereals (RTECs) in Boston by including consumer taste for supermarket retail services. Second, it tests and compares alternative pricing games between manufactures and supermarkets in order to assess their relative market power.

description: A principal `supernova neutrino challenge' is the computational difficulty of six-dimensional neutrino radiation hydrodynamics. The variety of resulting approximations has provoked a long history of uncertainty in the core-collapse supernova explosion mechanism, but recent work highlighting low-mode convection and a newly-recognized instability in spherical accretion shocks may signal (yet another) resolution. As part of its goal of elucidating the explosion mechanism, the Terascale Supernova Initiative is committed to meeting the full complexity of the computational challenge. The understanding of supernova neutrino emission gained in detailed simulations provides a potential basis for learning about two major remaining unknowns in neutrino flavor mixing: the value of the mixing angle $θ_{13}$, and distinguishing between ``normal'' and ``inverted'' mass hierarchies.

description: EU-regulation (EG) 178/2002 and the EU hygiene package have fixed general principles and requirements for the food law. Some of these principles and requirements are related to the issues of traceability and quality assurance along the agro-food-chains and affect all participants of the supply value chain. This paper focuses on the implementation of these requirements to the livestock farmer and veterinarian segment of the supply value chain. Livestock farmers and veterinarians are responsible for animal health, which is one of the key features of quality assurance. Furthermore, both groups already document information related to animal health. Often, the documentation is comprehensive and at times redundant, and is accomplished manually. Currently, an IT-solution does not exist for the entire supply-value chain of livestock farming and animal products in Germany. Only isolated IT-solutions exist. An integrated IT-solution for farmers and veterinarians has not yet been developed. The development of an IT-system meeting these requirements is the main objective of the BMBF-funded project IT Food Trace in collaboration with IBM. In this paper, first results of an analysis of stakeholder acceptance of ITsolutions will be presented (livestock farmers and veterinarians).

description: Combinatorial optimization is an important application targeted by quantum computing. However, near-term hardware constraints make quantum algorithms unlikely to be competitive when compared to high-performing classical heuristics on large practical problems. One option to achieve advantages with near-term devices is to use them in combination with classical heuristics. In particular, we propose using quantum methods to sample from classically intractable distributions -- which is the most probable approach to attain a true provable quantum separation in the near-term -- which are used to solve optimization problems faster. We numerically study this enhancement by an adaptation of Tabu Search using the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) as a neighborhood sampler. We show that QAOA provides a flexible tool for exploration-exploitation in such hybrid settings and can provide evidence that it can help in solving problems faster by saving many tabu iterations and achieving better solutions.

description: The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model opens the possibility of electroweak baryogenesis provided that the light scalar top quark (stop) is lighter than the top quark. In addition, the lightest neutralino is an ideal candidate to explain the existence of dark matter. For a light stop with mass close to the lightest neutralino, the stop-neutralino co-annihilation mechanism becomes efficient, thus rendering the predicted dark matter density compatible with observations. Such a stop may however remain elusive at hadron colliders. Here it is shown that a future linear collider provides a unique opportunity to detect and study the light stop. The production of stops with small stop-neutralino mass differences is studied in a detailed experimental analysis with a realistic detector simulation including a CCD vertex detector for flavor tagging. Furthermore, the linear collider, by precision measurements of superpartner masses and mixing angles, also allows to determine the dark matter relic density with an accuracy comparable to recent astrophysical observations.
Vector dominance, one flavored baryons, and QCD domain walls from the "hidden" Wess-Zumino term

description: We further explore a recent proposal that the vector mesons in QCD have a special role as Chern-Simons fields on various QCD objects such as domain walls and the one flavored baryons. We compute contributions to domain wall theories and to the baryon current coming from a generalized Wess-Zumino term including vector mesons. The conditions that lead to the expected Chern-Simons terms and the correct spectrum of baryons, coincide with the conditions for vector meson dominance. This observation provides a theoretical explanation to the phenomenological principle of vector dominance, as well as an experimental evidence for the identification of vector mesons as the Chern-Simons fields. By deriving the Chern-Simons theories directly from an action, we obtain new results about QCD domain walls. One conclusion is the existence of a first order phase transition between domain walls as a function of the quarks' masses. We also discuss applications of our results to Seiberg duality between gluons and vector mesons and provide new evidence supporting the duality.

description: Producers and retailers often limit their partnership to the simple implementation of a set of tools (advanced logistic techniques), our purpose was to understand the reasons that govern such choices, but neglecting the essence of the ECR, which is based on active cooperation between suppliers and retailers. A qualitative study among the professionals, completed by a theoretical literature study, has resulted in the proposition of an explanatory model of the level of cooperation, from both supply management and demand management perspectives.
A Commentary on Ruppeiner Metrics for Black Holes

description: There has been some recent controversy regarding the Ruppeiner metrics that are induced by Reissner-Nordstrom (and Reissner-Nordstrom-like) black holes. Most infamously, why does this family of metrics turn out to be flat, how is this outcome to be physically understood, and can/should the formalism be suitably modified to induce curvature? In the current paper, we provide a novel interpretation of this debate. For the sake of maximal analytic clarity and tractability, some supporting calculations are carried out for the relatively simple model of a rotating BTZ black hole.

description: This paper considers the implementation of the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) as a methodological framework for the development of new food products. This paper focuses on the beef supply chain and develops a horizontal product’s quality deployment as a strategic tool for the implementation of consumer-led product innovation strategies. Difficulties in the prioritisation of parameters and setting of target values for the desired performance level of each parameter would limit the implementation of a complete ‘four-phase’ model in the sector. Thus, the use of complementary management tools, such as SWOT analysis and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) would be necessary to develop more suitable process designs to the specific requirements of the sector.
Towards a topological (dual of) quantum $κ$-Poincaré group

description: We argue that the $κ$-deformation is related to a factorization of a Lie group, therefore {\em an approproate version of $κ$-Poincaré does exist on the $C^*$-algebraic level}. The explict form of this factorization is computed that leads to an ``action'' of the Lorentz group (with space reflections) considered in Doubly Special Relativity theory. The orbit structure is found and ``the momentum manifold'' is extended in a way that removes singularities of the ``action'' and results in a true action. Some global properties of this manifold are investigated

description: An $n\overset{p}{\mapsto}m$ random access code (RAC) is an encoding of $n$ bits into $m$ bits such that any initial bit can be recovered with probability at least $p$, while in a quantum RAC (QRAC), the $n$ bits are encoded into $m$ qubits. Since its proposal, the idea of RACs was generalized in many different ways, e.g. allowing the use of shared entanglement (called entanglement-assisted random access code, or simply EARAC) or recovering multiple bits instead of one. In this paper we generalize the idea of RACs to recovering the value of a given Boolean function $f$ on any subset of fixed size of the initial bits, which we call $f$-random access codes. We study and give protocols for $f$-random access codes with classical ($f$-RAC) and quantum ($f$-QRAC) encoding, together with many different resources, e.g. private or shared randomness, shared entanglement ($f$-EARAC) and Popescu-Rohrlich boxes ($f$-PRRAC). The success probability of our protocols is characterized by the \emph{noise stability} of the Boolean function $f$. Moreover, we give an \emph{upper bound} on the success probability of any $f$-QRAC with shared randomness that matches its success probability up to a multiplicative constant (and $f$-RACs by extension), meaning that quantum protocols can only achieve a limited advantage over their classical counterparts.

description: To comply with Section 402, Title 23 of the United States Code, each state is required to prepare an annual highway safety program. Kentucky's program, which includes identification, programming, budgeting, and evaluation of highway safety projects, is intended to have a positive impact on the reduction of traffic accidents. The first step in the program, problem identification, requires systematic, statistical analyses of accident records. In-depth analyses of accident data were performed, and 24 problem areas were investigated. Accident rates were found for counties and cities in the following categories: total accidents; fatal accidents; accidents by driver age and sex; and speed-, alcohol-, and drug-related accidents. In addition, rates were reported for motor-vehicle accidents involving pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, school buses, commercial buses, combination trucks, single-unit trucks, railroad trains, and emergency vehicles.  This is the third report on problem identification prepared for the Office of Highway Safety Programs. The past two reports were included in Kentucky's Annual Highway Safety Plans for Fiscal Years 1980 and 1981.
