description: We report the current status of our systematic studies of the QCD thermodynamics by lattice QCD simulations with two flavors of improved Wilson quarks. We evaluate the critical temperature of two flavor QCD in the chiral limit at zero chemical potential and show the preliminary result. Also we discuss fluctuations at none-zero temperature and density by calculating the quark number and isospin susceptibilities and their derivatives with respect to chemical potential.

description: Ένα από τα βασικότερα στοιχήματα της ιατρικής και της βιολογίας σήμερα είναι η ακριβής ανίχνευση των αιτιών της καρκινογένεσης με απώτερο στόχο τη στοχευμένη πρόληψη και εξατομικευμένη θεραπεία. Η πληθώρα των μεταβλητών που αφορά αυτό το στόχο είναι μια από τις αιτίες δυσκολίας για την ακριβή ανίχνευση των αιτιών, ιδίως αυτών οι οποίοι σχετίζονται με περιβαλλοντικούς παράγοντες και τον τρόπο επίδρασης τους με τη γονιδιακή προδιάθεση. Η επικρατούσα άποψη γύρω από την ανάπτυξη του καρκίνου αφορά το μοντέλο του ζημιωμένου DNA και αποτελείται από μια σειρά γενετικών μεταλλάξεων, οι οποίες μπορούν να μεταλλάξουν τα φυσιολογικά κύτταρα σε καρκινικά κύτταρα. Ωστόσο, η συσχέτιση του DNA και των περιβαλλοντικών παραγόντων δεν έχει μελετηθεί όσο θα έπρεπε, με αποτέλεσμα να μην δίνεται έμφαση στην προληπτική ιατρική, στην επιδημιολογία και συνεπώς στην πρόληψη. Τα δεδομένα έχουν ληφθεί από ένα συνδυασμό διεπιστημονικών ερευνών και αφορούν δύο διαφορετικούς περιβαλλοντικούς παράγοντες με τους οποίους ο άνθρωπος συνδέεται ακούσια
description: One of the most important bets in medicine and biology today is to accurately detect the causes of carcinogenesis with the ultimate goal of targeted prevention and individualized treatment. The number of variables that affect this goal is one of the causes of difficulty in accurately detecting the causes, especially those related to environmental factors and how they affect the genetic predisposition. The prevailing view on the development of cancer concerns the damaged DNA model and it is affiliated to a series of genetic mutations, that can transform normal cells into cancer cells. However, the correlation between DNA and environmental factors has not been studied as much as it should be, with the result that the emphasis is on preventive medicine, epidemiology and therefore prevention. The data have been obtained from a combination of interdisciplinary research and concern two different environmental factors with which humans are inadvertently associated

description: The currently available cosmological data yield, as a most striking result, that the expansion rate of the universe seems to be increasing at late times, contrary to the standard (zero cosmological constant) FLRW prediction. The usual explanation for this discrepancy is that a new component of the energy density of the universe, known as dark energy, dominates this recent evolution. Since the existence of such a new component would have a revolutionary impact on our understanding of the fundamental laws of physics, we think important to check other interpretations. We have therefore shown that the SNIa observations could be reproduced by the effect of inhomogeneities. This idea has been further developed by different teams, and enlarged to other cosmological data. We will give here a review of the results of these works and the prospects for future developments.

description: We study first order phase transitions in Randall-Sundrum models in the early universe dual to confinement in large-$N$ gauge theories. The transition rate to the confined phase is suppressed by a factor $\exp(-N^2)$, and may not complete for $N \gg 1$, instead leading to an eternally inflating phase. To avoid this fate, the resulting constraint on $N$ makes the RS effective field theory only marginally under control. We present a mechanism where the IR brane remains stabilized at very high temperature, so that the theory stays in the confined phase at all times after inflation and reheating. We call this mechanism avoided deconfinement. The mechanism involves adding new scalar fields on the IR brane which provide a stablilizing contribution to the radion potential at finite temperature, in a spirit similar to Weinberg's symmetry non-restoration mechanism. Avoided deconfinement allows for a viable cosmology for theories with parametrically large $N$. Early universe cosmological phenomena such as WIMP freeze-out, axion abundance, baryogenesis, phase transitions, and gravitational wave signatures are qualitatively modified.

description: The mid infrared emission of early type galaxies traces the presence of intermediate age stellar populations as well as even tiny amounts of ongoing star formation. Here we discuss high S/N Spitzer IRS spectra of a sample of Virgo early type galaxies, with particular reference to NGC 4435. We show that, by combining mid infrared spectroscopic observations with existing broad band fluxes, it is possible to obtain a very clean picture of the nuclear activity in this galaxy.

description: Nonrenormalizable quantum field theories require counterterms; and based on the hard-core interpretation of such interactions, it is initially argued, contrary to the standard view, that counterterms suggested by renormalized perturbation theory are in fact inappropriate for this purpose. Guided by the potential underlying causes of triviality of such models, as obtained by alternative analyses, we focus attention on the ground-state distribution function, and suggest a formulation of such distributions that exhibits nontriviality from the start. Primary discussion is focused on self-interacting scalar fields. Conditions for bounds on general correlation functions are derived, and there is some discussion of the issues involved with the continuum limit.

A log-quadratic relation for predicting supermassive black hole masses from the host bulge Sersic index

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006

description: We reinvestigate the correlation between black hole mass and bulge concentration. With an increased galaxy sample, updated estimates of galaxy distances, black hole masses, and Sersic indices `n' - a measure of concentration - we perform a least-squares regression analysis to obtain a relation suitable for the purpose of predicting black hole masses in other galaxies. In addition to the linear relation, log(M_bh) = 7.81(+/-0.08) + 2.69(+/-0.28)[log(n/3)] with epsilon_(intrin)=0.31 dex, we investigated the possibility of a higher order M_bh-n relation, finding the second order term in the best-fitting quadratic relation to be inconsistent with a value of zero at greater than the 99.99% confidence level. The optimal relation is given by log(M_bh) = 7.98(+/-0.09) + 3.70(+/-0.46)[log(n/3)] - 3.10(+/-0.84)[log(n/3)]^2, with epsilon_(intrin)=0.18 dex and a total absolute scatter of 0.31 dex. Extrapolating the quadratic relation, it predicts black holes with masses of ~10^3 M_sun in n=0.5 dwarf elliptical galaxies, compared to ~10^5 M_sun from the linear relation, and an upper bound on the largest black hole masses in the local universe, equal to 1.2^{+2.6}_{-0.4}x10^9 M_sun}. In addition, we show that the nuclear star clusters at the centers of low-luminosity elliptical galaxies follow an extrapolation of the same quadratic relation. Moreover, we speculate that the merger of two such nucleated galaxies, accompanied by the merger and runaway collision of their central star clusters, may result in the late-time formation of some supermassive black holes. Finally, we predict the existence of, and provide equations for, a relation between M_bh and the central surface brightness of the host bulge.

A comparative study of the ownership control vs. management right issue between the Chinese enterprise laws and Canadian corporate laws
Creators: name: Qi, Xiaodong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: An examination of the different laws concerning the ownership control vs. management right issue in China’s legal regime as well as in Canada’s legal regime will provide the basis of further comparison and analysis. In light of statutes as well as relevant Canadian case law, some literal differences are shown. The analysis of legal implications of the literal differences of the laws involves four approaches. These are the relationships between the owners and the corporate management, the ownership composition, the government treatment of the government entities, and the commitments, interests and liabilities of the directors. In the SOECs, the government controls have been curbed and the autonomy of the enterprises has been advocated in recent years by legislation and dominant Party policy. The boundary of government control over the SOECs and the enterprise autonomy has not been defined clearly. In the CCCs government controls have been kept very firm by statute and case law. In the SOECs, the ownership right of the enterprise assets belongs to the state whereas the statutory right to possess, utilize and dispose of the enterprise entities belongs to the enterprise. The division of the ownership right and the property right to the same object - the enterprise assets - renders a certain inconsistency in managing the enterprise business. However, the ownership of the CCCs is exclusively in the hands of the government. The ownership of the Canadian private corporations lies exclusively in the corporation - the judicial person itself. The pure ownership composition may reduce the tension of the owners and management to a minimum level. A SOEC is treated by the government both as a government appendage, designed to carry out government policy, and a self-survivor. A CCC is treated by the government as a special instrument. The directors of the Canadian private corporations can enjoy substantial autonomy in managing corporations, although in many circumstances they are subject to the courts’ involvement. The Chinese Enterprise Laws require the directors to fulfill their mandates - the commands of the government - although at the same time they are expected to make the enterprises as profitable as possible. The directors of the CCCs have an interest in fulfilling their commitments to the government, which are to serve the mandates of the CCCs. The interests and commitments of the directors in Canadian private corporations lie in making competitive capital return for the corporations and the shareholders The reasons why different legal implications exist in the different economic and social milieus. And significantly, it is found that both the legislative implications of the CCCs and the SOECs reveal a kind of compromise.

description: Platform trials have become increasingly popular for drug development programs, attracting interest from statisticians, clinicians and regulatory agencies. Many statistical questions related to designing platform trials - such as the impact of decision rules, sharing of information across cohorts, and allocation ratios on operating characteristics and error rates - remain unanswered. In many platform trials, the definition of error rates is not straightforward as classical error rate concepts are not applicable. For an open-entry, exploratory platform trial design comparing combination therapies to the respective monotherapies and standard-of-care, we define a set of error rates and operating characteristics and then use these to compare a set of design parameters under a range of simulation assumptions. When setting up the simulations, we aimed for realistic trial trajectories, such that e.g. a priori we do not know the exact number of treatments that will be included over time in a specific simulation run as this follows a stochastic mechanism. Our results indicate that the method of data sharing, exact specification of decision rules and a priori assumptions regarding the treatment efficacy all strongly contribute to the operating characteristics of the platform trial. Furthermore, different operating characteristics might be of importance to different stakeholders. Together with the potential flexibility and complexity of a platform trial, which also impact the achieved operating characteristics via e.g. the degree of efficiency of data sharing, this implies that utmost care needs to be given to evaluation of different assumptions and design parameters at the design stage.

description: We construct the complete set of boundary states of two-dimensional fermionic CFTs using that of the bosonic counterpart. We see that there are two groups of boundary conditions, which contributes to the open-string partition function by characters with integer coefficients, or with $\sqrt{2}$ times integer coefficients. We argue that, using the argument of [JHEP 09 (2020) 018], this $\sqrt{2}$ indicates a single unpaired Majorana zero mode, and that these two groups of boundary conditions are mutually incompatible. We end the paper by mentioning a possible interpretation of the result in terms of the entanglement entropy.

description: We argue that relatively compact charmonium states, $J/ψ$, $ψ(2S)$, $χ_c$, can very likely be bound inside light hadronic matter, in particular inside higher resonances made from light quarks and/or gluons. The charmonium state in such binding essentially retains its properties, so that the bound system decays into light mesons and the particular charmonium resonance. Thus such bound states of a new type, which we call hadro-charmonium, may explain the properties of some of the recently observed resonant peaks, in particular of Y(4.26), Y(4.32-4.36), Y(4.66), and Z(4.43). We discuss further possible implications of the suggested picture for the observed states and existence of other states of hadro-charmonium and hadro-bottomonium.

description: We have mosaiced 2MASS images to derive surface brightness profiles in JHK for 104 Galactic globular clusters. We fit these with King profiles, and show that the core radii are identical to within the errors for each of these IR colors, and are identical to the core radii at V in essentially all cases. We derive integrated light colors V-J, V-H, V-K_s, J-H and J-K_s for these globular clusters. Each color shows a reasonably tight relation between the dereddened colors and metallicity. Fits to these are given for each color. The IR--IR colors have very small errors due largely to the all-sky photometric calibration of the 2MASS survey, while the V-IR colors have substantially larger uncertainties. We find fairly good agreement with measurements of integrated light colors for a smaller sample of Galactic globular clusters by Aaronson, Malkan & Kleinmann from 1977. Our results provide a calibration for the integrated light of distant single burst old stellar populations from very low to Solar metallicities. A comparison of our dereddened measured colors with predictions from several models of the integrated light of single burst old populations shows good agreement in the low metallicity domain for V-K_s colors, but an offset at a fixed [Fe/H] of ~0.1 mag in J-K_s, which we ascribe to photometric system transformation issues. Some of the models fail to reproduce the behavior of the integrated light colors of the Galactic globular clusters near Solar metallicity.

Τέλος, έγινε μια ευρετική αξιολόγηση στην βασική έκδοση του παιχνιδιού, χωρίς τις λειτουργίες του για το affective computing, ώστε να διαπιστωθεί πως είναι λειτουργικό και να αναδειχθούν τόσο τα προβλήματα όσο και οι καλές πρακτικές που προέκυψαν από το σχεδιασμό και την υλοποίησή του
description: This master thesis’, called “Interactive gamified app based on affective feedback”, goal is to create a video game that adjusts its difficulty on the user’s bio signals and his/hers facial expressions, so as it to be demanding enough to match his/hers skills, in order to enter the flow state. Research on affective computing has proved in the past that by analyzing the signal properly it is feasible to predict the user’s affective state. Moreover, there have already been games that use the dynamic difficulty adjustment method. However Affective Kitchen, the game that was a created during this master thesis, can also consider the user’s facial expressions and the moves that he/she makes with his/hers face that unintentionally express his/hers feelings. Moreover, both the data processing and the difficulty adjustment is real-time, without interfering with the user’s game experience. Throughout the master thesis, the game was fully designed and implemented. Lastly, a heuristic evaluation of the basic game, without its affective computing functionalities, was conducted in order to measure its usability and to emerge both its bad and good practices

description: We present the results of gravitational direct $N$-body simulations using the commercial graphics processing units (GPU) NVIDIA Quadro FX1400 and GeForce 8800GTX, and compare the results with GRAPE-6Af special purpose hardware. The force evaluation of the $N$-body problem was implemented in Cg using the GPU directly to speed-up the calculations. The integration of the equations of motions were, running on the host computer, implemented in C using the 4th order predictor-corrector Hermite integrator with block time steps. We find that for a large number of particles ($N \apgt 10^4$) modern graphics processing units offer an attractive low cost alternative to GRAPE special purpose hardware. A modern GPU continues to give a relatively flat scaling with the number of particles, comparable to that of the GRAPE. The GRAPE is designed to reach double precision, whereas the GPU is intrinsically single-precision. For relatively large time steps, the total energy of the N-body system was conserved better than to one in $10^6$ on the GPU, which is impressive given the single-precision nature of the GPU. For the same time steps, the GRAPE gave somewhat more accurate results, by about an order of magnitude. However, smaller time steps allowed more energy accuracy on the grape, around $10^{-11}$, whereas for the GPU machine precision saturates around $10^{-6}$ For $N\apgt 10^6$ the GeForce 8800GTX was about 20 times faster than the host computer. Though still about a factor of a few slower than GRAPE, modern GPUs outperform GRAPE in their low cost, long mean time between failure and the much larger onboard memory; the GRAPE-6Af holds at most 256k particles whereas the GeForce 8800GTX can hold 9 million particles in memory.

description: Interactive technologies are getting closer to our bodies and permeate the infrastructure of our homes. While such technologies offer many benefits, they can also cause an initial feeling of unease in users. It is important for Human-Computer Interaction to manage first impressions and avoid designing technologies that appear creepy. To that end, we developed the Perceived Creepiness of Technology Scale (PCTS), which measures how creepy a technology appears to a user in an initial encounter with a new artefact. The scale was developed based on past work on creepiness and a set of ten focus groups conducted with users from diverse backgrounds. We followed a structured process of analytically developing and validating the scale. The PCTS is designed to enable designers and researchers to quickly compare interactive technologies and ensure that they do not design technologies that produce initial feelings of creepiness in users.

Momentum Flow Correlations from Event Shapes: Factorized Soft Gluons and Soft-Collinear Effective Theory

description: The distributions of two-jet event shapes contain information on hadronization in QCD. Near the two-jet limit, these distributions can be described by convolutions of nonperturbative event shape functions with the same distributions calculated in resummed perturbation theory. The shape functions, in turn, are determined by correlations of momentum flow operators with each other and with light-like Wilson lines, which describe the coupling of soft, wide-angle radiation to jets. We observe that leading power corrections to the mean values of event shapes are determined by the correlation of a single momentum flow operator with the relevant Wilson lines. This generalizes arguments for the universality of leading power corrections based on the low-scale behavior of the running coupling or resummation. We also show how a study of the angularity event shapes can provide information on correlations involving multiple momentum flow operators, giving a window to the system of QCD dynamics that underlies the variety of event shape functions. In deriving these results, we review, develop and compare factorization techniques in conventional perturbative QCD and soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). We give special emphasis to the elimination of double counting of momentum regions in these two formalisms.

description: In complex networks a common task is to identify the most important or "central" nodes. There are several definitions, often called centrality measures, which often lead to different results. Here we study extensively correlations between four local and global measures namely the degree, the shortest-path-betweenness, the random-walk betweenness and the subgraph centrality on different random-network models like Erdos-Renyi, Small-World and Barabasi-Albert as well as on different real networks like metabolic pathways, social collaborations and computer networks. Correlations are quite different between the real networks and the model networks questioning whether the models really reflect all important properties of the real world.

description: We study the enhancement of tunneling through a potential barrier $V(x)$ by a time-dependent electric field with special emphasis on pulse-shaped vector potentials such as $A_x(t)=A_0/\cosh^2(ωt)$. In addition to the known effects of pre-acceleration and potential deformation already present in the adiabatic regime, as well as energy mixing in analogy to the Franz-Keldysh effect in the non-adiabatic (impulse) regime, the pulse $A_x(t)$ can enhance tunneling by ``pushing'' part of the wave-function out of the rear end of the barrier. Besides the natural applications in condensed matter and atomic physics, these findings could be relevant for nuclear fusion, where pulses $A_x(t)$ with $ω=1~\rm keV$ and peak field strengths of $10^{16}~\rm V/m$ might enhance tunneling rates significantly.

description: Which and how many attributes are relevant for the sorting of agents in a matching market? This paper addresses these questions by constructing indices of mutual attractiveness that aggregate information about agents' attributes. The first k indices for agents on each side of the market provide the best approximation of the matching surplus by a k-dimensional model. The methodology is applied on a unique Dutch households survey containing information about education, height, BMI, health, attitude toward risk and personality traits of spouses.

description: The measurement of the epicyclic frequencies is a widely used astrophysical technique to infer information on a given self-gravitating system and on the related gravity background. We derive their explicit expressions in static and spherically symmetric wormhole spacetimes. We discuss how these theoretical results can be applied to: (1) detect the presence of a wormhole, distinguishing it by a black hole; (2) reconstruct wormhole solutions through the fit of the observational data, once we have them. Finally, we discuss the physical implications of our proposed epicyclic method.

description: Non-vanishing electromagnetic properties of the neutrinos have been predicted by many theories beyond the Standard Model, and an enhanced neutrino magnetic moment can have profound implications for fundamental physics. The XENON1T experiment recently detected an excess of electron recoil events in the 1-7 keV energy range, which can be compatible with solar neutrino magnetic moment interaction at a most probable value of $μ_ν = 2.1 \times 10^{-11} μ_{\text{B}}$. However, tritium backgrounds and solar axion interaction in this energy window are equally plausible causes. Upcoming multi-tonne noble liquid detectors will test these scenarios more in depth, but will continue to face similar ambiguity. We report a unique capability of future large liquid scintillator detectors to help resolve the potential neutrino magnetic moment scenario. With a liquid scintillator exposure of $O$(100) kton$\cdot$year, a sensitivity of $μ_ν < 10^{-11} μ_{\text{B}}$ can be reached at an energy threshold greater than 40 keV, where no tritium or solar axion events but only neutrino magnetic moment signal is still present.

description: Context: The detection of overabundances of $α$-elements and lithium in the secondary star of a black-hole binary provides important insights about the formation of a stellar-mass black-hole. $α$-enhancement might theoretically also be the result of pollution by the nucleosynthesis occurring during an outburst, or through spallation by the jet. Aims: We study the abundances, and their possible variations with time, in the secondary star of the runaway black-hole binary GRO J1655--40, in order to understand their origin. Methods: We present a detailed comparison between a Keck spectrum obtained in 1998 found in the literature, archival VLT-UVES data taken in 2004 and new VLT-UVES spectra obtained early 2006. We carefully determine the equivalent widths of different $α$-elements (Mg, O, Ti, S and Si) with their associated uncertainty. We use the well-studied comparison star HD 156098 as well as synthetic spectra to match the spectrum of GRO J1655--40 in order to determine the abundances of these elements. Results: We see no significant variations of equivalent widths with time. Our fit using HD 156098 reveals that there is significant overabundance of oxygen in all our spectra, but no overabundances of any of the other $α$-elements. Finally, we do not detect the lithium line at 6707 Å. Conclusions: We show that there is no detected pollution in GRO J1655--40 after the burst in 2005. Moreover, we argue that uncertainties in the equivalent widths were previously underestimated by a factor of $\sim$3. Consequently, our results challenge the existence of general overabundances of $α$-elements observed in this galactic black-hole binary, and thus the accepted interpretation that they are of supernova origin. The physical cause of the overabundance of oxygen remains unclear.
