description: We study heavy baryons with an exotic flavor quantum number formed by a heavy meson and a nucleon (Dbar-N and B-N) through a long range one pion exchange interaction. The bound state found previously in the (I,JP) =(0,1/2-) channel survives when short range interaction is included. In addition, we find a resonant state with (I,JP)=(0,3/2-) as a Feshbach resonance predominated by a heavy vector meson and a nucleon (Dbar*-N and B*-N). We find that these exotic states exist for the charm and heavier flavor region.

description: Although used car market has grown rapidly over two decades in Taiwan, quality and price are the main criteria that consumers concerned when buying a used car. Due to lack of a used car certified standard, the reputation among car dealers varies. How to verify the quality of used cars is a crucial factor for buyers. Two decades ago, some unethical used car dealers sold vehicles with hidden issues, for instance, accidents or damage vehicles. These problems had restrained the growing of used car markets. Akerlof (1970) pointed out that the used car market will be failure due to the information asymmetry. The quality uncertainty makes consumers’ rights in the used car market cannot be reasonably protected, and often causes disputes after sales. Kim (1985) suggested that the information asymmetry in the used car market is not only limited to the used car buyers, but also many individual used car sellers. Inspired by the model of Kim (1985), this study established a dynamic model of a used car market. The model considered information asymmetry, the life of the vehicle, depreciation, consumer income, preference, the strategies of the used car dealers and new car manufacturers to identify the business model and the competition advantage of used car industry. This study will validate the trend with agent-based models and analyze the future of used car dynamics.

description: For Sm(3+) ions in a vast majority of metallic systems, the following interesting scenario has been conjured up for long, namely, a magnetic lattice of tiny self (spin-orbital) compensated 4f-moments exchange coupled (and phase reversed) to the polarization in the conduction band. We report here the identification of a self-compensation behavior in a variety of ferromagnetic Sm intermetallics via the fingerprint of a shift in the magnetic hysteresis (M-H) loop from the origin. Such an attribute, designated as exchange bias in the context of ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic multilayers, accords these compounds a potential for niche applications in spintronics. We also present results on magnetic compensation behavior on small Gd doping (2.5 atomic percent) in one of the Sm ferromagnets (viz. SmCu(4)Pd). The doped system responds like a pseudo-ferrimagnet and it displays a characteristic left-shifted linear M-H plot for an antiferromagnet.

description: Favored theories of giant planet formation center around two main paradigms, namely the core accretion model and the gravitational instability model. These two formation scenarios support the hypothesis that the giant planet metallicities should be higher or equal to that of the parent star. Meanwhile, spectra of the transiting hot Jupiter HD189733b suggest that carbon and oxygen abundances range from depleted to enriched with respect to the star. Here, using a model describing the formation sequence and composition of planetesimals in the protoplanetary disk, we determine the range of volatile abundances in the envelope of HD189733b that is consistent with the 20--80 Earth-masses of heavy elements estimated to be present in the planet's envelope. We then compare the inferred carbon and oxygen abundances to those retrieved from spectroscopy and we find a range of supersolar values that directly fit both spectra and internal structure models. In some cases, we find that the apparent contradiction between the subsolar elemental abundances and the {mass of heavy elements predicted in HD189733b by internal structure models} can be explained by the presence of large amounts of carbon molecules in the form of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and soots in the upper layers of the envelope, as suggested by recent photochemical models. A diagnostic test that would confirm the presence of these compounds in the envelope is the detection of acetylene.

An alternative view on the electroweak interactions

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We discuss an alternative to the Higgs mechanism which leads to gauge invariant masses for the electroweak bosons. The key idea is to reformulate the gauge invariance principle which, instead of being applied as usual at the level of the action, is applied at the level of the quantum fields. In other words, we define gauge invariant quantum fields which are used to build the action. In that framework, the Higgs field is not necessarily a physical degree of freedom but can merely be a dressing field that does not propagate. If the Higgs boson is not propagating, the weak interactions must become strongly coupled below 1 TeV and have a non-trivial fixed point and would thus be renormalizable at the non-perturbative level. On the other hand, if a gauge invariant Higgs boson is introduced in the model, its couplings to the fermions and the electroweak bosons can be quite different from those expected in the standard model.

description: Very recently, a kind of spatial network constructed with power-law distance distribution and total energy constriction is proposed. Moreover, it has been pointed out that such spatial networks have the optimal exponents $δ$ in the power-law distance distribution for the average shortest path, traffic dynamics and navigation. Because the distance is estimated approximately in real world, we present an distance coarse graining procedure to generate the binary spatial networks in this paper. We find that the distance coarse graining procedure will result in the shifting of the optimal exponents $δ$. Interestingly, when the network is large enough, the effect of distance coarse graining can be ignored eventually. Additionally, we also study some main dynamic processes including traffic dynamics, navigation, synchronization and percolation on this spatial networks with coarse grained distance. The results lead us to the enhancement of spatial networks' specifical functions.

description: Ordering of the tetrahedral site vacancies in two crystals of refined compositions K0.93(1)Fe1.52(1)Se2 and K0.862(3)Fe1.563(4)Se2 produces a fivefold expansion of the parent ThCr2Si2 unit cell in the ab plane which can accommodate 20% vacancies on a single site within the square FeSe layer. The iron charge state is maintained close to +2 by coupling of the level of alkali metal and iron vacancies, producing a potential doping mechanism which can operate at both average and local structure levels.

 Remarks. As stated by Yakovlev & Saldaitis (2016), the main genital characteristics of this species, which might be helpful to separate it from its closely allied species, V. beludzhi Yakovlev & Saldaitis, 2016, are as follows: The strongly sclerotized protuberance at the costal margin of valva, the narrow juxta and its apically pointed lateral processes, and the thick phallus with developed preapical spinous processes. These two species, as here revealed, also differ from each other in the shape of gnathos and length of the phallus. In V. zaratustra gnathus is relatively wide (slightly wider than the tip of uncus), with a clear medial notch at the upper edge (Figs. 19A, B); while in V. belutzhi gnathus is distinctly narrower than the tip of uncus, and it is pointed at the middle part of the upper edge. The latter character has also been illustrated by Yakovlev & Saldaitis (2016: 394). Moreover, in V. zaratustra the phallus is slightly longer than the valva comparing to being slightly shorter in V. belutzhi (see also Yakovlev & Saldaitis 2016: 394).
 It is worth mentioning that among the studied material, there was a male specimen collected in Geno Mt., Hormozgan Province, which was similar to V. senganensis in the forewing pattern, but its genitalia exactly mached with V. zaratustra.

An investigation of surface energy balance and turbulent heat flux on mountain glaciers
Creators: name: Fitzpatrick, Noel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: The exchange of energy between a glacier surface and its surroundings, known as its surface energy balance (SEB), is a primary control on surface ablation rates. In the modelling of glacier SEB, parameterisation rather than direct measurement is frequently used to estimate one or more of the contributing heat fluxes, with smaller fluxes often deemed negligible. The turbulent fluxes of sensible and latent heat are commonly parameterised using forms of the bulk aerodynamic method. These techniques were developed for flat, uniform surfaces, and substantial uncertainty remains in the validity of their application over sloped, inhomogeneous glacier terrain. A multi-year field campaign was performed on two glaciers in the Purcell Mountains of British Columbia, Canada, where season-long observations of the complete SEB were obtained at multiple locations. The obtained dataset was used to drive an ablation model which showed good agreement with observed rates at seasonal, daily, and sub-daily timescales, effectively closing the energy balance. Through eddy covariance measurements, the turbulent heat fluxes were observed to be important components of SEB at each location, providing 31% of seasonal melt energy, and up to 78% of melt energy on individual days, underlining the need for their accurate estimation. The rain heat flux, often assumed negligible, was a significant contributor to melt energy on daily and sub-daily timescales during heavy rainfall (up to 20% day⁻¹). An evaluation of common turbulent flux parameterisation methods found their performance to be highly sensitive to the choice of roughness length scheme and atmospheric stability function. Observed roughness length values differed from those commonly assumed for glacier surfaces, and varied substantially between locations, highlighting the need for site-specific values. Two techniques were developed for the remote estimation of roughness using digital elevation models, and performed well when compared with in situ observations. The occurrence of shallow, katabatic surface layers with low-level wind maximums was frequently observed over the sloped, glacial test sites. Existing stability parameters and functions used in turbulent flux parameterisation were found to be unreliable in these conditions, as was the commonly employed assumption of constant turbulent flux and friction velocity with height through this layer.

description: Examination of ambient thermodynamic conditions suggest that clathrate hydrates could exist in the martian permafrost, on the surface and in the interior of Titan, as well as in other icy satellites. Clathrate hydrates probably formed in a significant fraction of planetesimals in the solar system. Thus, these crystalline solids may have been accreted in comets, in the forming giant planets and in their surrounding satellite systems. In this work, we use a statistical thermodynamic model to investigate the composition of clathrate hydrates that may have formed in the primordial nebula. In our approach, we consider the formation sequence of the different ices occurring during the cooling of the nebula, a reasonable idealization of the process by which volatiles are trapped in planetesimals. We then determine the fractional occupancies of guests in each clathrate hydrate formed at given temperature. The major ingredient of our model is the description of the guest-clathrate hydrate interaction by a spherically averaged Kihara potential with a nominal set of parameters, most of which being fitted on experimental equilibrium data. Our model allows us to find that Kr, Ar and N$_2$ can be efficiently encaged in clathrate hydrates formed at temperatures higher than $\sim$ 48.5 K in the primitive nebula, instead of forming pure condensates below 30 K. However, we find at the same time that the determination of the relative abundances of guest species incorporated in these clathrate hydrates strongly depends on the choice of the parameters of the Kihara potential and also on the adopted size of cages. Indeed, testing different potential parameters, we have noted that even minor dispersions between the different existing sets can lead to non-negligible variations in the determination of the volatiles trapped in clathrate hydrates formed in the primordial nebula.

description: We present recent UV laboratory spectra of various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and explore the potential of these molecules as carriers of the DIBs. From a detailed comparison of gas-phase and Ne-matrix absorption spectra of anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, 2,3-benzofluorene, benzo[ghi]perylene, and hexabenzocoronene with new interstellar spectra, we infer upper limits in the abundance of these PAHs in the interstellar medium. Upper limits in the column densities of anthracene of $0.8 - 2.8 \times 10^{12}$\ cm$^{-2}$ and of pyrene and 2,3-benzofluorene ranging from $2 - 8 \times 10^{12}$\ cm$^{-2}$ are inferred. Upper limits in the column densities of benzo[ghi]perylene are $0.9 - 2.4 \times 10^{13}$ and $10^{14}$ cm$^{-2}$ for phenanthrene. The measurements indicate fractional abundances of anthracene, pyrene, and 2,3-benzofluorene of a few times $10^{-10}$. Upper limits in the fractional abundance of benzo[ghi]perylene of a few times $10^{-9}$ and of phenanthrene of few times $10^{-8}$ are inferred. {Toward CPD $-32^\circ 1734$, we found near 3584 Å an absorption line of OH$^+$, which was discovered in the interstellar medium only very recently. The fractional abundances of PAHs inferred here are up to two orders of magnitude lower than estimated total PAH abundances in the interstellar medium. This indicates that either neutral PAHs are not abundant in translucent molecular clouds, or that a PAH population with a large variety of molecules is present.

Hypertensive Retinopathy and Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases in a National Cohort
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Background:
Retinal vascular examination using direct ophthalmoscopy can be used to determine the extent of hypertensive vascular changes. We studied the association of these changes in a large national cohort.
Methods:
First National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES I) was conducted from 1971 through 1975. A subgroup (n=5500) of participants aged 25 to 74 years received standardized ophthalmologic examination and hypertensive changes were documented. Participants of the study had follow-up interviews and examinations up to 1992. All health care facility records and death certificates were ascertained and reviewed. Participants who were admitted with or died of primary diagnosis of either ischemic stroke or coronary heart disease were identified. We used Cox proportional-hazards regression to study the association of hypertensive retinopathy with cardiovascular disease.
Results:
After excluding patients with previous history of stroke or myocardial infarction and/or missing blood pressure information, 4753 participants were included in the analysis. Participants with hypertensive retinopathy were older (61 ± 11 vs 47 ± 15) and more likely to be men (54% vs 62%). After adjustment for age, sex, race/ethnicity, body-mass index, cigarette smoking, systolic blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes mellitus patients with hypertensive retinopathy had a relative risk (RR) of 1.2 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.0 – 1.3) for any cardiovascular disease and RR of 1.2(95% CI 0.9–1.5) for ischemic stroke.
Conclusion:
The presence of hypertensive retinal vascular changes is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Identification of such changes in the clinical setting can be used for stratification of high risk patients.

New quasi-isobaric regime of heating is proposed as combination of the HIB energy deposition with the use of highly dispersed porous material as an irradiating sample. Regime of "tracing saturation curve" is proposed also when heating the evaporating porous materials. Consequent preferences and priorities are emphasized. In frames of this technique HIB could became an uncompetitive tool for study of phase transition phenomenon for a wide number of materials with high-temperature location of critical point. Two important thermophysical problems, which could approve using of HIB facility, are discussed as the first-row candidates. Evaporation in Uranium is one of the most tempting candidates to be studied under HIB heating in such manner. When being successful this experiment has a good chance to resolve the old contradiction within the problem of Uranium critical point parameters estimations. The heating by HIB seems to be especially promising as an effective tool for systematic study of so-called "non-congruent" phase transition -- striking and mostly unusual sort of high-temperature phase equilibrium in chemically active strongly coupled plasmas. Phase transition in uranium dioxide is remarkable example of such non-congruency. New information on the thermophysical properties of phase transitions in uranium and uranium dioxide could be valuable for application in nuclear reactor safety analysis

description: We present a deep learning approach for analyzing two-dimensional scattering data of semiflexible polymers under external forces. In our framework, scattering functions are compressed into a three-dimensional latent space using a Variational Autoencoder (VAE), and two converter networks establish a bidirectional mapping between the polymer parameters (bending modulus, stretching force, and steady shear) and the scattering functions. The training data are generated using off-lattice Monte Carlo simulations to avoid the orientational bias inherent in lattice models, ensuring robust sampling of polymer conformations. The feasibility of this bidirectional mapping is demonstrated by the organized distribution of polymer parameters in the latent space. By integrating the converter networks with the VAE, we obtain a generator that produces scattering functions from given polymer parameters and an inferrer that directly extracts polymer parameters from scattering data. While the generator can be utilized in a traditional least-squares fitting procedure, the inferrer produces comparable results in a single pass and operates three orders of magnitude faster. This approach offers a scalable, automated tool for polymer scattering analysis and provides a promising foundation for extending the method to other scattering models, experimental validation, and the study of time-dependent scattering data.

title: DEPRECATED: Benchmarking the implementation of E-Commerce A Case Study Approach
Creators: name: Von Ettingshausen, C. R. D. Freiherr
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this thesis was to develop a guideline to support the implementation of E-Commerce with E-Commerce benchmarking. Because of its importance as an interface with the customer, web-site benchmarking has been a widely researched topic. However, limited research has been conducted on benchmarking E-Commerce across other areas of the value chain. Consequently this thesis aims to extend benchmarking into E-Commerce related subjects. The literature review examined two main bodies of theory, E-Commerce and benchmarking. lt became clearly apparent that a gap in the literature existed for E-Commerce benchmarking. To address this gap, a single-case-study exploratory methodology has been applied. The case study method was considered most suitable for this research given the exploratory nature of the research aim and question as well as the potential for new insights to be gained from the samples. Three sub-studies have been applied within this single-case-study exploratory design. In study 1, 20 semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore possible themes related to E-Commerce, benchmarking and E-Commerce benchmarking. Those themes were included in study 2, the exploratory quantitative questionnaire survey. 146 responses were analyzed in this phase. In study 3, six expert interviews were executed to explore potential themes based on the research of the first two studies. The data analysis of this thesis included descriptive statistics and a mixture of grounded and content analysis. There were a number of important findings that emerged from this research. Firstly, E-Commerce benchmarking is mostly executed as web-site benchmarking, customer surveys and basic top line indicators like the E-Share. Secondly, exchange of best practices, target setting, customer satisfaction and competitive advantage emerged as benefits from E-Commerce benchmarking. Thirdly, there are two distinct differences between E-Commerce benchmarking and traditional bench marking: (1) higher frequency and (2) types of indicators. Fourthly, external benchmarking, process benchmarking and additional indicators were identified as appropriate avenues of benchmarking E-Commerce. The contribution of this thesis relates to extending current literature on E-Commerce benchmarking. Furthermore, a guideline for the implementation of E-Commerce benchmarking is provided. In summary it is proven that the implementation of E-Commerce can and needs to be benchmarked.

description: We demonstrate that intensity correlations of second order in the fluorescence light of N > 2 single- photon emitters may violate locality while the visibility of the signal remains below 71%. For this, we derive a homogeneous Bell-Wigner-type inequality, which can be applied to a broad class of experimental setups. We trace the violation of this inequality back to path entanglement created by the process of detection.

description: The finite-temperature magnetic properties of Fe$_x$Pd$_{1-x}$ and Co$_x$Pt$_{1-x}$ alloys have been investigated. It is shown that the temperature-dependent magnetic behaviour of alloys, composed of originally magnetic and non-magnetic elements, cannot be described properly unless the coupling between magnetic moments at magnetic atoms (Fe,Co) mediated through the interactions with induced magnetic moments of non-magnetic atoms (Pd,Pt) is included. A scheme for the calculation of the Curie temperature ($T_C$) for this type of systems is presented which is based on the extended Heisenberg Hamiltonian with the appropriate exchange parameters $J_{ij}$ obtained from {\em ab-initio} electronic structure calculations. Within the present study the KKR Green's function method has been used to calculate the $J_{ij}$ parameters. A comparison of the obtained Curie temperatures for Fe$_x$Pd$_{1-x}$ and Co$_x$Pt$_{1-x}$ alloys with experimental data shows rather good agreement.

Longitudinal workload monitoring to keep athletes healthy and performing : conceptual, methodological, and applied considerations in sports injury aetiology
Creators: name: Windt, Johann Dirk
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Sports injury aetiology is a process in which internal and external risk factors contribute to an inciting event. The last decade has seen a rapid growth in research that identified how training and competition workloads relate to sports injury risk. My literature review highlighted that existing aetiology models do not describe how workloads contribute to injury. Furthermore, injury risk fluctuates on a time-scale in parallel to these workloads (e.g. daily), which creates several methodological and statistical challenges that have largely been ignored. If researchers are to understand how athletes’ workloads relate to injury risk, their conceptual aetiological models must be updated to incorporate training and competition workloads, and they should use appropriate statistical analyses. After my literature review, I divide this dissertation into three parts. In Part 1 I discuss how workloads relate to injury. I present a novel workload—injury aetiology model, which expands on previous aetiological frameworks and details 3 ways that workloads contribute to injury: 1) exposing athletes to external risk factors and potential inciting events, 2) reducing injury risk through beneficial physiological changes, and 3) increasing injury risk through transient negative changes in athletes’ internal risk profiles. I then present mediation and moderation as potential causal approaches to understand how athlete risk factors interact with workload changes to alter injury risk. In Part 2 I tackle the methodological challenges of analysing workload—injury data. I reviewed prospective cohort studies that reported intensive longitudinal data to analyse workload—injury data in team sports. I identified that few studies utilised statistical approaches that align with theoretical aetiology models or addressed the methodological challenges associated with longitudinal data. My analysis leads me to recommend mixed modeling as one advance, and I exemplify how it can be used by studying how player unavailability affects player outputs. In Part 3 I integrate the conceptual and methodological considerations into two applied settings. First, I describe how a methodological/mathematical concern (mathematical coupling) may influence applied practice (multifaceted player load management) and research (explicitly reporting calculations). Finally, I use mixed modeling to examine pre-season workload and in-season injury risk, controlling for athletes’ weekly workloads.

description: Background:
Traumatic intracranial aneurysms are rare conditions that can be a result of non-penetrating head trauma. We report the occurrence of intracranial aneurysms in patients with traumatic brain injury.
Methods:
All diagnostic cerebral angiograms performed in patients with traumatic brain injury at a level I trauma center from January 2006 to July 2007 were reviewed.
Results:
Diagnostic cerebral angiography was performed in 74 patients with the diagnosis of closed head injury. A total of 4 traumatic intracranial pseudoaneurysms were found in 4 patients, two in the supraclinoid segment of the internal carotid artery, one in the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery and one in the paraophthalmic segment of the internal carotid artery. Two patients were treated with coil embolization. One patient had follow up imaging on which there was no change in the size and morphology of the aneurysm.

description: The solution of the mean spherical approximation (MSA) integral equation for isotropic multicomponent dipolar hard sphere fluids without external fields is used to construct a density functional theory (DFT), which includes external fields, in order to obtain an analytical expression for the external field dependence of the magnetization of ferrofluidic mixtures. This DFT is based on a second-order Taylor series expansion of the free energy density functional of the anisotropic system around the corresponding isotropic MSA reference system. The ensuing results for the magnetic properties are in quantitative agreement with our canonical ensemble Monte Carlo simulation data presented here.
