description: Exclusive semileptonic decays based on $b\to s$ transitions have been attracting a lot of attention as some angular observables deviate significantly from the Standard Model (SM) predictions in specific $q^2$ bins. B meson decays induced by other Flavor Changing Neutral Current (FCNC), $b\to d$, can also offer a probe to new physics with an additional sensitivity to the weak phase in Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Masakawa (CKM) matrix. We provide predictions for angular observables for $b\to d$ semileptonic transitions, namely $\bar{B}_s\to K^{\ast}\ell^+\ell^-$, $\bar{B}^0\toρ^0 \ell^+\ell^-$, and their CP-conjugated modes. For $\bar{B}^0\toρ^0 \ell^+\ell^-$ mode, $B^0-\bar{B}^0$ mixing effects have been included and predictions are made for Belle and LHCb separately. Study of these decay modes will be useful in its own right and to understand the pattern of deviations in $b\to s$ transitions.

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2019

description: Taking the reflections of Jacques Derrida, Paul Ricoeur and Richard Kearney as its starting point, this paper explores the problem of hos-pitality in its connection with translation. First, it delves on the anal-yses of hospitality put forward by Derrida and Ricoeur, showing how the ricœurian approach results in a connection between linguistic hospitality and ethical hospitality. Then, in what it dubs the “work” of hospitality, it focuses on the work put forward by Richard Kearney in the context of the Guestbook project to foster the transition from the impossible to the possible, from hostility to hospitality.

description: Recently a complete set of entropic conditions has been derived for the interconversion structure of states under quantum operations that respect a specified symmetry action, however the core structure of these conditions is still only partially understood. Here we develop a coarse-grained description with the aim of shedding light on both the structure and the complexity of this general problem. Specifically, we consider the degree to which one can associate a basic `shape' property to a quantum state or channel that captures coarse-grained data either for state interconversion or for the use of a state within a simulation protocol. We provide a complete solution for the two-qubit case under the rotation group, give analysis for the more general case and discuss possible extensions of the approach.

description: The effect of inhomogeneous couplings of the scaling behavior in critical phenomena is considered using renormalization group analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, and other numerical tests. Novel scaling relationships result from nonuniform perturbations of a uniform fixed point at criticality. An effective dimension entering scaling equalities is elucidated. Nonuniversal behavior is found in fully connected systems with exchange couplings arrayed in a hierarchical manner.

description: In this paper we investigate the nature and structure of the relation between imposed classifications and real clustering in a particular case of a scale-free network given by the on-line encyclopedia Wikipedia. We find a statistical similarity in the distributions of community sizes both by using the top-down approach of the categories division present in the archive and in the bottom-up procedure of community detection given by an algorithm based on the spectral properties of the graph. Regardless the statistically similar behaviour the two methods provide a rather different division of the articles, thereby signaling that the nature and presence of power laws is a general feature for these systems and cannot be used as a benchmark to evaluate the suitability of a clustering method.

description: The automotive manufacturing industry plays a pivotal role in global economic development, providing transportation solutions while simultaneously facing multifaceted challenges related to environmental health and safety (EHS) practices. This review investigates the indispensable role of EHS practices within the automotive manufacturing sector, highlighting their significance in mitigating environmental impact, ensuring workplace safety, and complying with regulatory standards. Effective EHS practices are integral to managing environmental sustainability within automotive manufacturing. These practices encompass waste management, emissions reduction, and resource conservation strategies aimed at minimizing the industry's ecological footprint. Additionally, the adoption of eco-friendly technologies and processes, such as renewable energy integration and material recycling, contributes to the industry's overall environmental stewardship. Furthermore, prioritizing workplace safety is imperative in the automotive manufacturing sector due to its inherently hazardous operational environments. EHS initiatives focus on risk assessment, hazard identification, and the implementation of preventive measures to safeguard employees from occupational injuries and illnesses. Moreover, fostering a culture of safety awareness through training programs and regular audits promotes a conducive working environment conducive to employee well-being and productivity. Compliance with regulatory standards is a cornerstone of EHS management in the automotive manufacturing industry. Adherence to local, national, and international regulations ensures operational legality and enhances corporate reputation. Through continuous monitoring and assessment, automotive manufacturers strive to stay abreast of evolving regulatory frameworks, thereby aligning their practices with industry best practices and societal expectations. The integration of robust EHS practices is indispensable for sustainable operations and corporate responsibility within the automotive manufacturing industry. By addressing environmental concerns, ensuring workplace safety, and meeting regulatory requirements, automotive manufacturers can uphold their commitment to environmental stewardship and social accountability while maintaining operational efficiency and competitiveness in the global market.
High Mass X-ray Binaries and Recent Star Formation History of the Small Magellanic Cloud

description: We study the relation between high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) population and recent star formation history (SFH) for the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Using archival optical SMC observations, we have approximated the color-magnitude diagrams of the stellar population by model stellar populations and, in this way, reconstructed the spatially resolved SFH of the galaxy over the past 100 Myr.We analyze the errors and stability of this method for determining the recent SFH and show that uncertainties in the models of massive stars at late evolutionary stages are the main factor that limits its accuracy. By combining the SFH with the spatial distribution of HMXBs obtained from XMM-Newton observations, we have derived the dependence of the HMXB number on the time elapsed since the star formation event. The number of young systems with ages 10 Myr is shown to be smaller than the prediction based on the type-II supernova rate. The HMXB number reaches its maximum ~20-50 Myr after the star formation event. This may be attributable, at least partly, to a low luminosity threshold in the population of X-ray sources studied, Lmin~1e+34 erg/s. Be/X systems make a dominant contribution to this population, while the contribution from HMXBs with black holes is relatively small.

description: Using the invariance of Quadratic Gravity in FLRW metric under the group of diffeomorphisms of the time coordinate, we rewrite the action $A$ of the theory in terms of the invariant dynamical variable $g(τ)\,.$ We propose to consider the path integrals $\int\,F(g)\,\exp\left\{-A \right\}dg$ as the integrals over the functional measure $μ(g)=\exp\left\{-A_{2} \right\}dg\,,\ $ where $A_{2}$ is the part of the action $A$ quadratic in $R\,.$ The rest part of the action stands in the exponent in the integrand as the "interaction" term. We prove the measure $μ(g)$ to be equivalent to the Wiener measure, and, as an example, calculate the averaged scale factor in the first nontrivial perturbative order.

Dynamics of step doubling: simulations for a simple model and comparison with experiment
Creators: name: Khare, S. V.
name: Einstein, Theodore L.
name: Bartelt, N. C.
Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 1995

description: To interpret recent experiments on the dynamics of step doubling, we have studied a simple model of this phase transition. With Monte Carlo, we compute the time-dependence of the order parameter in the limit of rapid diffusion across terraces. Analysis of the data shows that the limiting step is the time for adjacent steps to touch each other; subsequent "zipping" together happens rapidly. From this vantage we develop an analytic expression for short times that changes into a phenomenological one for later times. Using data from two physical systems, we compare this function and another based on naive assumptions with a third based on chemical rate theory. For the more recent data, our expression describes the data best. Finally, in the opposite limit in which atoms can only move along step edges, we show characteristic configurations and compute the structure factor.

description: The transition from elastic to plastic deformation in crystalline metals shares history dependence and scale-invariant avalanche signature with other non-equilibrium systems under external loading: dilute colloidal suspensions, plastically-deformed amorphous solids, granular materials, and dislocation-based simulations of crystals. These other systems exhibit transitions with clear analogies to work hardening and yield stress, with many typically undergoing purely elastic behavior only after 'training' through repeated cyclic loading; studies in these other systems show a power law scaling of the hysteresis loop extent and of the training time as the peak load approaches a so-called reversible-irreversible transition (RIT). We discover here that deformation of small crystals shares these key characteristics: yielding and hysteresis in uniaxial compression experiments of single-crystalline Cu nano- and micro-pillars decay under repeated cyclic loading. The amplitude and decay time of the yield precursor avalanches diverge as the peak stress approaches failure stress for each pillar, with a power law scaling virtually equivalent to RITs in other nonequilibrium systems.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: As researchers, we make complex choices around project design and decision-making throughout the lifecycle of our research. We are expected to ensure that our research objects are easily accessed, openly examined and built upon by others in future work. Although open and transparent reporting helps to make sure that scientific work can be trusted, we must also integrate considerations of the societal and ethical implications of our work. Especially when these considerations impact people's lives. Furthermore, reproducible research practices are important for enabling independent verification of research methods, underlying data, analysis code and workflows. All these require an understanding of research best practices and skills that are often not widely taught or explored among academic researchers. In this talk, I will introduce The Turing Way - an open source community-driven guide to reproducible, ethical and inclusive data science and research. Our goal is to provide all the information that researchers, industry professionals and community leaders need at the start of their projects to ensure that they maintain the highest reproducible and ethical standards at all stages of development. All attendees will leave the talk understanding the many dimensions of openness and how they can participate in an inclusive, kind and inspiring open source ecosystem as they collaboratively seek to improve research culture. All questions and contributions are welcome at GitHub repository: https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way.

description: The environmental integrity of aquatic ecosystems is increasingly threatened by the discharge of chemical pollutants, posing significant risks to biodiversity and human health. Addressing these concerns requires a comprehensive understanding of pollutant dynamics, transport mechanisms, and their ecological consequences. Integrated simulation frameworks have emerged as powerful tools for assessing the environmental impact of chemical pollutants in aquatic systems. This review explores the key components and applications of such frameworks, highlighting their role in informing environmental management and policy decisions. Integrated simulation frameworks integrate multidisciplinary knowledge, encompassing hydrodynamics, water quality, ecological processes, and chemical fate and transport models. By combining these elements, these frameworks offer a holistic approach to assessing pollutant behavior in aquatic environments. They simulate complex interactions among physical, chemical, and biological processes, providing insights into pollutant dispersion, transformation pathways, bioaccumulation, and ecological responses. One notable aspect of integrated simulation frameworks is their ability to account for spatial and temporal variability in pollutant concentrations and environmental conditions. Through numerical simulations, these frameworks can predict pollutant dispersion patterns under different scenarios, including varying pollutant sources, hydrological conditions, and mitigation measures. Furthermore, they facilitate the evaluation of potential management strategies and the identification of critical pollutant sources or sensitive ecological receptors. The application of integrated simulation frameworks spans various environmental contexts, from local-scale water bodies to large river basins and coastal regions. They have been instrumental in assessing the impact of industrial discharges, agricultural runoff, urban stormwater runoff, and accidental spills on aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, these frameworks support risk assessment studies, pollution prevention planning, and regulatory compliance efforts. In conclusion, integrated simulation frameworks represent a valuable tool for understanding and managing the environmental impact of chemical pollutants in aquatic systems. By synthesizing diverse data sources and modeling approaches, they provide a comprehensive framework for decision-makers to address pollution challenges and safeguard the health and sustainability of aquatic ecosystems. Continued advancements in modeling techniques and data integration hold promise for enhancing the predictive capabilities and utility of these frameworks in supporting evidence-based environmental management practices.
Diffusion of Monolayer Adatom and Vacancy Clusters: Langevin Analysis and Monte Carlo Simulations of their Brownian Motion

Publisher: name: American Physical Society

description: In recent observations of Brownian motion of islands of adsorbed atoms and of vacancies with mean radius R, the cluster diffusion constant varies as R1 and R2. From an analytical Langevin description of the cluster's steplike boundary, we find three cases, R1, R2, and R3, corresponding to the three microscopic surface mass-transport mechanisms of straight steps. We thereby provide a unified treatment of the dynamics of steps and of clusters. For corroboration, we perform Monte Carlo simulations of simple lattice gases and derive atomistic diffusion constants.

description: This comprehensive review explores the landscape of Urban Water Management in the United States, focusing on sustainable practices aimed at addressing the challenges posed by rapid urbanization and climate change. With urban areas facing increasing water stress, this study aims to identify, analyze, and evaluate a range of sustainable practices implemented across the country. The review encompasses diverse aspects of Urban Water Management, including water efficiency measures, green infrastructure initiatives, climate change resilience strategies, and pollution mitigation efforts. In examining water efficiency measures, the study investigates technological innovations and policy frameworks that have contributed to optimizing water use in urban settings. Additionally, the role of green infrastructure is explored, emphasizing its benefits and applications through case studies of successful implementations, shedding light on how nature-based solutions can enhance water sustainability. The review delves into the critical dimension of climate change resilience in urban water systems, analyzing the impacts of climate change on water resources and exploring adaptation and mitigation strategies. Infrastructure improvements and integrated planning approaches are examined as essential components in building resilient urban water systems. Addressing pollution mitigation, the study focuses on stormwater management and wastewater treatment. Best management practices and regulatory measures are scrutinized to understand how urban areas are effectively managing and treating water to mitigate pollution and protect water quality. Furthermore, the review highlights the significance of integrated water resources management as a holistic approach to addressing water challenges in urban contexts. Stakeholder engagement and cross-sectoral coordination are emphasized as integral elements in implementing sustainable and comprehensive water management strategies. Through case studies of successful urban water management projects, the review extracts valuable lessons and insights for future implementations. The challenges and opportunities in the current landscape are explored, providing a nuanced understanding of the barriers to sustainable practices and identifying emerging opportunities. This review synthesizes key findings, implications, and recommendations for advancing sustainable urban water management practices in the United States. The insights generated contribute to the ongoing dialogue on effective water management strategies in the face of evolving urban and environmental dynamics.

description: A modified Woods-Saxon potential model is proposed for a unified description of the entrance channel fusion barrier and the fission barrier of fusion-fission reactions based on the Skyrme energy-density functional approach. The fusion excitation functions of 120 reactions have been systematically studied. The fusion (capture) cross sections are well described with the calculated potential and an empirical barrier distribution. Incorporating a statistical model (HIVAP code) for describing the decay of the compound nucleus, the evaporation residue (and fission) cross sections of 51 fusion-fission reactions have been systematically investigated. Optimal values of some key parameters of the HIVAP code are obtained based on the experimental data of these reactions. The experimental data are reasonably well reproduced by the calculated results. The upper and lower confidence limits of the systematic errors of the calculated results are given.

description: Can far-from-equilibrium material response under arbitrary loading be inferred from equilibrium data and vice versa? Can the effect of element transmutation on mechanical behavior be predicted? Remarkably, such extrapolations are possible in principle for systems governed by stochastic differential equations, thanks to a set of exact relations between probability densities for trajectories derived from the path integral formalism [1, 2, 3]. In this article, we systematically investigate inferences (in the form of ensemble-averages) drawn on system/process S based on stochastic trajectory data of system/process S~, with quantified uncertainty, to directly address the aforementioned questions. Interestingly, such inferences and their associated uncertainty do not require any simulations or experiments of S. The results are exemplified over two illustrative examples by means of numerical simulations: a one-dimensional system as a prototype for polymers and biological macromolecules, and a two-dimensional glassy system. In principle, the approach can be pushed to the extreme case where S~ is simply comprised of Brownian trajectories, i.e., equilibrium non-interacting particles, and S is a complex interacting system driven far from equilibrium. In practice, however, the "further" S~ is from S, the greater the uncertainty in the predictions, for a fixed number of realizations of system S~.
The composition of transiting giant extrasolar planets

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In principle, the combined measurements of the mass and radius a giant exoplanet allow one to determine the relative fraction of hydrogen and helium and of heavy elements in the planet. However, uncertainties on the underlying physics imply that some known transiting planets appear anomalously large, and this generally prevent any firm conclusion when a planet is considered on an individual basis. On the basis of a sample of 9 transiting planets known at the time, Guillot et al. A&A 453, L21 (1996), concluded that all planets could be explained with the same set of hypotheses, either by large but plausible modifications of the equations of state, opacities, or by the addition of an energy source, probably related to the dissipation of kinetic energy by tides. On this basis, they concluded that the amount of heavy elements in close-in giant planets is correlated with the metallicity of the parent star. Furthermore they showed that planets around metal-rich stars can possess large amounts of heavy elements, up to 100 Earth masses. These results are confirmed by studying the present sample of 18 transiting planets with masses between that of Saturn and twice the mass of Jupiter.

description: We have determined a first-principles temperature-composition phase diagram describing the ordering of oxygen atoms in the "chain" layers of YBa2Cu3Oz. The calculations are based on a transfer-matrix finite-size-scaling study of a two-dimensional lattice-gas Hamiltonian (the asymmetric next-nearest-neighbor Ising (ASYNNNI) model). The interaction parameters are obtained from ab initio electronic structure calculations. The resulting phase diagram compares favorably with experiment. We analyze its sensitivity to the relative size of the interactions. We also show that the addition of a third-neighbor interaction has a minimal effect on the phase boundaries. Based on these results, we assess the applicability of the ASYNNNI model to YBa2Cu3Oz.

description: We systematically study the effects of collisions on the overall dynamical evolution of dense star clusters using Monte Carlo simulations over many relaxation times. We derive many observable properties of these clusters, including their core radii and the radial distribution of collision products. We also study different aspects of collisions in a cluster taking into account the shorter lifetimes of more massive stars, which has not been studied in detail before. Depending on the lifetimes of the significantly more massive collision products, observable properties of the cluster can be modified qualitatively; for example, even without binaries, core collapse can sometimes be avoided simply because of stellar collisions.

description: This comprehensive review explores the intricate relationship between water and energy in the contexts of Africa and the United States, shedding light on the evolving policies and practices that shape the Water-Energy Nexus (WEN). As the demand for both water and energy intensifies globally, understanding the interdependencies and synergies between these critical resources becomes imperative for sustainable development. In Africa, the WEN presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities. The region grapples with water scarcity, unreliable energy access, and the impacts of climate change. This review assesses the diverse policy frameworks implemented across African nations to address the WEN, examining their effectiveness and identifying gaps for improvement. Furthermore, it highlights innovative practices and successful interventions that have emerged within the African context, contributing valuable insights for sustainable water and energy management. Contrastingly, the United States, with its matured infrastructure and advanced technologies, navigates the complexities of the WEN with a different set of dynamics. The review delves into the multifaceted policy landscape in the U.S., analyzing federal, state, and local initiatives aimed at optimizing the interplay between water and energy resources. Lessons learned from the American experience offer valuable benchmarks for other regions striving to enhance resource efficiency, resilience, and environmental sustainability.

description: We have employed admittance spectroscopy and deep-level transient spectroscopy in order to investigate the electronic properties of ZnO/CdS/Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)$_2$ heterojunctions and Cr/Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)$_2$ Schottky contacts. Our work concentrates on the origin of an energy-distributed defect state commonly found in these systems. The activation energy of the defect state addressed continuously shifts upon air annealing or damp-heat treatment and is a valuable measure of the degree of band bending in Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)$_2$-based junctions. We demonstrate that the band bending within the Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)$_2$ layer, reported in the literature to become minimal after air exposure, returns after the formation of either a Schottky contact or a heterojunction. The earlier phenomenon turns out to be independent of a surface passivation due to the CdS bath deposition.

description: To assess how oral health education (OHE) techniques using braille affect visually impaired children’s awareness of oral health, oral hygiene status and practices, plaque, gingival health, and dental caries status. From 2010 to 2020, a thorough literature search will be conducted for studies in the English language using PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Open Grey. Data extraction will be done after two reviewers extensively evaluate the papers for qualifying requirements. In accordance with the research designs, a quality evaluation of the chosen studies will be conducted. With the use of the program Review Manager 5.3, a meta-analysis will be completed.
Oscillatory interaction of steps on W(110)

description: Using a modified fourth-moment approximation to tight-binding theory, we have carried out a systematic study of the energetics of steps and kinks on the W(110) surface. This model predicts an oscillatory interaction (as a function of separation) between isolated stable steps on the W(110) surface, whereas previous studies of step-step interactions on late transition and noble metals with the embedded atom method found a purely repulsive, inverse-square decay. The oscillations are similar to those found by scanning tunneling microscope measurements of vicinal Cu(100) and Ag(110) systems.

description: PKS 1413+135 (z = 0.24671) is one of very few radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with an apparent spiral host galaxy. Previous authors have attributed its nearly exponential infrared cutoff to heavy absorption but have been unable to place tight limits on the absorber or its location in the optical galaxy. In addition, doubts remain about the relationship of the AGN to the optical galaxy given the observed lack of reemitted radiation. We present new Hubble Space Telescope (HST), ASCA, and Very Long Baseline Array observations, which throw significant new light on these issues. The HST observations reveal that the active nucleus of PKS 1413+135 has an extremely red color, (V-H) = 6.9 mag, requiring both a spectral turnover at a few microns because of synchrotron aging and an absorbing region the size of a giant molecular cloud. Combining constraints from the HST and ASCA data, we derive an intrinsic column NH = 4.6 × 1022 cm-2 and covering fraction f = 0.12. The spin temperature of the molecular absorption lines found by previous authors suggests that the cloud is located in the disk of the optical galaxy, making our sight line rather unlikely (P ~ 2 × 10-4). The properties of this region appear typical of large giant molecular clouds in our own Galaxy. The H I absorber appears centered 25 mas away from the nucleus, while the X-ray and nearly all of the molecular absorbers must cover the nucleus, implying a rather complicated geometry and cloud structure, in particular requiring a molecular core along our line of sight to the nucleus. Interestingly, the HST/NICMOS data require the AGN to be decentered relative to the optical galaxy by 13 ± 4 mas. This could be interpreted as suggestive of an AGN location far in the background compared with the optical galaxy, but it can also be explained by obscuration and/or nuclear structure, which is more consistent with the observed lack of multiple images.
A closer look at the quadruply lensed quasar PSOJ0147: spectroscopic redshifts and microlensing effect

description: I present timely spectroscopic follow-up of the newly discovered, quadruply lensed quasar PSOJ0147 from the Pan-STARRS 1 survey. The newly acquired optical spectra with GMOS onboard the Gemini north telescope allow us to pin down the redshifts of both the foreground lensing galaxy and the background lensed quasar to be z=0.572 and 2.341, providing firm basis for cosmography with future high cadence photometric monitoring. I also inspect difference spectra from two of the quasar images, revealing the microlensing effect. Long-term spectroscopic follow-ups will shed lights on the structure of the AGN and its environment.

description: Wastewater treatment stands as a critical component in mitigating environmental pollution and safeguarding public health. This review delves into the pivotal role of chemical engineering simulations in advancing wastewater treatment technologies towards enhanced environmental sustainability. The modernization of wastewater treatment processes necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the complex physical, chemical, and biological interactions involved. Chemical engineering simulations offer a powerful toolset for modeling and optimizing these processes with a focus on efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability. Firstly, simulations enable the prediction and analysis of pollutant removal mechanisms within treatment systems. By simulating various operating conditions and configurations, engineers can optimize treatment processes to achieve higher removal efficiencies while minimizing resource consumption and waste generation. Secondly, simulations aid in the design and development of innovative treatment technologies, such as membrane filtration, advanced oxidation processes, and biological nutrient removal systems. Through computational modeling, engineers can assess the performance and feasibility of these technologies under different scenarios, facilitating informed decision-making and accelerating their implementation. Furthermore, chemical engineering simulations play a crucial role in addressing emerging challenges in wastewater treatment, including the removal of emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. By simulating the behavior of these contaminants within treatment systems, engineers can devise targeted strategies for their removal, thus mitigating their adverse environmental and public health impacts. Chemical engineering simulations serve as indispensable tools for advancing wastewater treatment technologies towards greater environmental sustainability. By facilitating the optimization, design, and innovation of treatment processes, simulations contribute to the development of more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solutions for managing wastewater and protecting our ecosystems. Embracing these simulation-driven approaches is essential for achieving the ambitious goals of sustainable development and ensuring a cleaner, healthier future for generations to come.
