description: Prompt $χ_c$ production at hadron colliders may provide a unique test for the color-octet mechanism in nonrelativistic QCD. We present an analysis for the polarization observables of $χ_{c1}$ and $χ_{c2}$ at next-to-leading order in $α_S$, and propose to measure them at the LHC, which is expected to be important for testing the validity of NRQCD.

description: Optimal material resource planning is crucial to run safe and cost-efficient hospital services. In this article, we investigate a real problem in hospitals, motivated by an environmental and economically inefficient use of disposable, single-use, endoscopes. We develop a mathematical model and create a decision support tool to determine when reusable, multi-use, bronchoscopes should be sent for inspection including information to what extent single-use bronchoscopes can cover the remaining demand. The results show that the proposed approach can contain operational costs which consist of costs for buying single-use devices, inspection costs and reprocessing costs, i.e., sterilization of reusable devices. Our tool can assist hospitals to predict when reusable bronchoscopes should undergo inspection and whether the current inventory of reusable devices is sufficient to cover the demand. Finally, we evaluate the impact of variation in demand on total costs.

Controversies of consent: the contradictory uses of indigenous free, prior, and informed consultation and consent in Panama
Creators: name: Thorpe, Marian Ahn
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: This dissertation examines the right of Free, Prior, and Informed Consultation and Consent (FPIC) in western Panama, where Ngäbe Indigenous communities have long fought to protect their land from copper mines, hydroelectric projects, and other forms of development. Drawing on sixteen months of ethnographic and legal research between 2013 and 2016, I demonstrate that, like other forms of multicultural recognition, FPIC can be used by states to manage Indigenous dissent and rights-wash contentious projects. This management can take place through careful attention to the wording or procedural details of FPIC policies; or, it can occur through the ways in which consent-seekers and consent-givers exploit or circumvent conflict-prone community decision-making processes. However, while FPIC can be used to limit Indigenous rights, I also show how various groups of Ngäbe still defy and work within these constraints. More broadly, I show that the Western liberal conception of consent as autonomous free choice obscures ways in which consent embeds subjects in relations of power. By framing consent not as a sign of freedom but as a sign of power relations, I underscore how FPIC and other forms of multicultural recognition join together Indigenous peoples and states to collaboratively create the multicultural state.
Drastic effect of weak interaction near special points in semiclassical multiterminal superconducting nanostructures

description: A generic semiclassical superconducting nanostructure connected to multiple superconducting terminals hosts a quasi-continuous spectrum of Andreev states. The spectrum is sensitive to the superconducting phases of the terminals. It can be either gapped or gapless depending on the point in the multi-dimensional parametric space of these phases. Special points in this space correspond to setting some terminals to the phase 0 and the rest to the phase of $π$. For a generic nanostructure, three distinct spectra come together in the vicinity of a special point: two gapped phases of different topology and a gapless phase separating the two by virtue of topological protection. In this paper, we show that a weak interaction manifesting as quantum fluctuations of superconducting phases drastically changes the spectrum in a narrow vicinity of a special point. We develop an interaction model and derive a universal generic quantum action that describes this situation. The action is complicated by incorporating a non-local in time matrix order parameter, and its full analysis is beyond the scope of the present paper. Here, we identify and address two limits: the semiclassical one and the quantum one, concentrating on the first-order interaction correction in the last case. In both cases, we find that the interaction squeezes the domain of the gapless phase in the narrow vicinity of the point so the gapped phases tend to contact each other immediately, defying the topological protection. We identify the domains of strong coupling where the perturbation theory does not work. In the gapless phase, we find the logarithmic divergence of the first-order corrections. This leads us to an interesting hypothesis: weak interaction might induce an exponentially small gap in the formerly gapless phase.

description: We consider the effect of a period of inflation with a high energy density upon the stability of the Higgs potential in the early universe. The recent measurement of a large tensor-to-scalar ratio, $r_T \sim 0.16$, by the BICEP-2 experiment possibly implies that the energy density during inflation was very high, comparable with the GUT scale. Given that the standard model Higgs potential is known to develop an instability at $Λ\sim 10^{10}$ GeV this means that the resulting large quantum fluctuations of the Higgs field could destabilize the vacuum during inflation, even if the Higgs field starts at zero expectation value. We estimate the probability of such a catastrophic destabilisation given such an inflationary scenario and calculate that for a Higgs mass of $m_h=125.5$ GeV that the top mass must be less than $m_t\sim 172$ GeV. We present two possible cures: a direct coupling between the Higgs and the inflaton and a non-zero temperature from dissipation during inflation.

“One CSPAP step at a time”: Promoting a physically active school culture in an Irish urban post-primary school – planning for infrastructural change
Creators: name: Finnegan, Alan
Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2022
Subjects: Sports science and exercise

description: This study investigated the implementation of a whole-school physical activity (PA) promotion model, the ‘Comprehensive School Physical Activity Programme’ (CSPAP), in an Irish urban post-primary school, evaluating its successes and challenges. The study also explored how the CSPAP can inform the planning of a new school building in an urban setting that is promotive of an active school culture. A convergent parallel mixed methods design was adopted, with three phases of data collection lasting nine months: pre-, during and post-CSPAP implementation. The CSPAP intervention was nine weeks in duration. Data was collected from students and staff; this included the ‘Student PA Opportunities Questionnaire’, focus groups, an interview with senior management and a teacher-researcher journal. Data was analysed thematically following the method of Braun & Clark (2006). Results highlighted a school culture that valued PA through a broad physical education and after-school extra-curricular activities provision. There was a lack of student PA opportunities before and during school, as well as no structured staff PA. Given a lack of on-campus PA infrastructure, the school utilises strong community links to access PA facilities. CSPAP successes included a staff steps initiative which enhanced staff cohesion, and a lunchtime 1st Year dance programme peer-led by 5th Year students. CSPAP challenges were staff time constraints, the school uniform as a PA barrier for female students, and reluctance about classroom movement integration. Green PA spaces in the new school campus was collectively desired. This study helped to address a deficit in post-primary CSPAP literature, and CSPAPs in an Irish context. For sustainable CSPAPs, the findings identify a need for a coordinated and collaborative whole-school implementation effort, with students also leading PA. Barriers to PA participation such as the timing of activities and school uniform should be considered as part of future CSPAP efforts.

description: We present the first measurement of the negative pion total hadronic cross section on argon, which we performed at the Liquid Argon In A Testbeam (LArIAT) experiment. All hadronic reaction channels, as well as hadronic elastic interactions with scattering angle greater than 5~degrees are included. The pions have a kinetic energies in the range 100-700~MeV and are produced by a beam of charged particles impinging on a solid target at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility. LArIAT employs a 0.24~ton active mass Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) to measure the pion hadronic interactions. For this measurement, LArIAT has developed the ``thin slice method", a new technique to measure cross sections with LArTPCs. While generally higher than the prediction, our measurement of the ($π^-$,Ar) total hadronic cross section is in agreement with the prediction of the Geant4 model when considering a model uncertainty of $\sim$5.1\%.

description: In this paper we present a hybrid scheme for topological quantum computation in a system of cold atoms trapped in an atomic lattice. A topological qubit subspace is defined using Majorana fermions which emerge in a network of atomic Kitaev one-dimensional wires. We show how braiding can be efficiently implemented in this setup and propose a direct way to demonstrate the non-Abelian nature of Majorana fermions via a single parity measurement. We then introduce a proposal for the efficient, robust and reversible mapping of the topological qubits to a conventional qubit stored in a single atom. There, well-controlled standard techniques can be used to implement the missing gates required for universal computation. Our setup is complemented with an efficient non-destructive protocol to check for errors in the mapping.

description: Differential reformulations of field theories are often used for explicit computations. We derive a one-matrix differential formulation of two-matrix models, with the help of which it is possible to diagonalize the one- and two-matrix models using a formula by Itzykson and Zuber that allows diagonalizing differential operators with respect to matrix elements of Hermitian matrices. We detail the equivalence between the expressions obtained by diagonalizing the partition function in differential or integral formulation, which is not manifest at first glance. For one-matrix models, this requires transforming certain derivatives to variables. In the case of two-matrix models, the same computation leads to a new determinant formulation of the partition function, and we discuss potential applications to new orthogonal polynomials methods.

description: Spherically symmetric solutions for f(T) gravity models are derived by the so called Noether Symmetry Approach. First, we present a full set of Noether symmetries for some minisuperspace models. Then, we compute analytical solutions and find that spherically symmetric solutions in f(T) gravity can be recast in terms of Schwarzschild-like solutions modified by a distortion function depending on a characteristic radius. The obtained solutions are more general than those obtained by the usual solution methods.

description: The aim of this work is to validate an empirical model that integrates the different motivational categories that explain the motivational categories that explain the decision to become a teacher. This work provides empirical evidence of the psychometric quality of the instrument used, CUMODE. On the basis of this instrument, a structural model is validated that integrates the dif-ferent types of motivations associated with teaching. The participants in the study were 228 active teachers and 389 trainee teachers. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was applied to the data in order to extract its Cronbach's test was used to analyses the internal consistency of each of them. The results showed an adequate KMO index of .907. The third refined model consisted of 14 items and obtained adequate fit indexes χ² (df = 129) = 2.74, CFI = .94, GFI = .88, RMSEA = .09 (90% CI = .07 - 11), SRMR = .07. Finally, a confirmatory factor analysis was applied with a sample of trainee teachers to validate the model. The model is equally valid for the sample of trainee teachers.

description: Palaeo data have been frequently used to determine the equilibrium (Charney) climate sensitivity $S^a$, and - if slow feedback processes (e.g. land ice-albedo) are adequately taken into account - they indicate a similar range as estimates based on instrumental data and climate model results. Most studies implicitly assume the (fast) feedback processes to be independent of the background climate state, e.g., equally strong during warm and cold periods. Here we assess the dependency of the fast feedback processes on the background climate state using data of the last 800 kyr and a conceptual climate model for interpretation. Applying a new method to account for background state dependency, we find $S^a=0.61\pm0.06$ K(Wm$^{-2}$)$^{-1}$ using the latest LGM temperature reconstruction and significantly lower climate sensitivity during glacial climates. Due to uncertainties in reconstructing the LGM temperature anomaly, $S^a$ is estimated in the range $S^a=0.55-0.95$ K(Wm$^{-2}$)$^{-1}$.

description: Abstract
Ecotourism is a crucial sector for supporting government tourism development. However, ecotourism development in East Java faces several challenges that require appropriate strategies. This study aimed to describe the business model, analyze the development strategies for Bangsring Underwater Ecotourism, and analyze strategic priorities for Bangsring Underwater Ecotourism. Data analysis for research at Bangsring Underwater Ecotourism employed the Business Model Canvas, SWOT analysis, and QSPM analysis. The Business Model Canvas focused on nine aspects: customer segment, value proposition, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partnerships, and cost structures. The key partners included the government, private companies, universities, entrepreneurs, water police, and community leaders. The value proposition centered on natural beauty, stunning underwater panoramas, Fish Apartments, a shark clinic, fascinating attractions, affordable ticket prices, comprehensive and comfortable public facilities, and a strategic location. The customer relationship in ecotourism cultivated partnerships and facilitated easy community licensing. The cost structure regulated the fixed costs came to Rp 187,497,420, while variable costs amounted to Rp 505,219,987. Revenue streams included Rp 8,768,918,500 from attraction ticket sales, Rp 448,350,000 from homestay rentals, and Rp 352,100,000 from ecotourism entrance ticket sales. Customer segmentation applied in Bangsring Underwater Ecotourism was based on the geographic segments of local and foreign tourists. The key resources of this ecotourism included natural resources, ecotourism support facilities, and human resources. The channels used were social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, cultural festivals, and partnerships. The development strategy derived from the SWOT analysis was an aggressive one. Strategic priorities obtained from the QSPM analysis were to use technology to enhance the safety and cleanliness of the ecotourism environment, improve visitor experience, and promote via maximizing existing social media.

description: In previous works, we derived stationary density distribution functions (DDF) where the local equilibrium is determined by imposing the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) principle, under the scale invariance restrictions, and the minimum entropy production theorem. In this paper we demonstrate that it is possible to reobtain these DDF solely from the MaxEnt principle subject to suitable scale invariant restrictions in all the variables. For the sake of concreteness, we analyze the example of ohmic, fully ionized, tokamak-plasmas, in the weak-collisional transport regime. In this case we show that it is possible to reinterpret the stationary distribution function in terms of the Prigogine distribution function where the logarithm of the DDF is directly linked to the entropy production of the plasma. This leads to the suggestive idea that also the stationary neoclassical distribution functions, for magnetically confined plasmas in the collisional transport regimes, may be derived solely by the MaxEnt principle.

description: Objectives: This pilot study examined how Methylphenidate (MPH0.5mg/kg) affects appetite sensations, food reinforcement, energy intake (EI), macronutrient consumption, and weight-loss in youth and adults living with obesity, without ADHD. Methods: This study employed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design. Eleven participants aged 28±6.9 yrs. (4 M, 7 F) were randomized to receive either MPH (n=5) or placebo group (n=6) for 60 days. Participants’ appetite sensations (Visual Analogue Scale), relative-reinforcing value of food (computer task), EI and macronutrient consumption (ad libitum buffet), and anthropometric measurements (DEXA) were measured at baseline and 60 days. Results: Repeated measures ANOVA revealed group x time interactions for appetite sensations [desire to eat (p=0.01), hunger (p=0.002), and prospective food consumption (p=0.006)]; with greater reductions in MPH group compared to placebo. For the sense of fullness, there was an interaction between group and time (p=0.01), with a greater increase for MPH compared to placebo. Body weight significantly decreased in both groups (p=0.01), with a moderate to large effect size favouring the MPH group (-2.66 kg vs. – 1.16 kg, Cohen’s d =0.76). Changes between MPH and placebo did not differ significantly on EI, macronutrient consumption, or food reinforcement. Conclusions: Our data indicate for the first time that MPH suppresses appetite in individuals with obesity resulting in a moderate–sized effect on weight loss in the short-term. These findings warrant a larger trial to more definitively examine the effect that MPH has on weight loss and maintenance of weight loss, thereby evaluating its potential as a novel pharmacological agent in the management of obesity.

description: Non-Hermitian systems with exceptional points lead to many intriguing phenomena due to the coalescence of both eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors, in comparison to Hermitian systems where only eigenvalues degenerate. In this paper, we have investigated entropic uncertainty relation (EUR) in a non-Hermitian system and revealed a general connection between the EUR and the exceptional points of non-Hermitian system. Compared to the unitarity dynamics determined by a Hermitian Hamiltonian, the behaviors of EUR can be well defined in two different ways depending on whether the system is located in unbroken phase or broken phase regimes. In unbroken phase regime, EUR undergoes an oscillatory behavior while in broken phase regime where the oscillation of EUR breaks down. The exceptional points mark the oscillatory and non-oscillatory behaviors of the EUR. In the dynamical limit, we have identified the witness of critical behavior of non-Hermitian systems in terms of the EUR. Our results reveal that the witness can detect exactly the critical points of non-Hermitian systems beyond (anti-) PT-symmetric systems. Our results may have potential applications to witness and detect phase transition in non-Hermitian systems.

description: The $t$-channel singularity of a cross-section for a binary $2 \to 2$ scattering process occurs when a particle exchanged in the $t$ channel is kinematically allowed to be on its mass-shell, that is when the process can be viewed as a sequence of two physical subprocesses: a two-body decay $1\to 2$ and an inverse decay $2 \to 1$. We derive conditions for the singularity to be present in a binary process. A class of divergent cross sections for Standard Model processes has been determined and illustrated by the weak analog of the Compton scattering $Ze^{-}\to Ze^{-}$. After critically reviewing regularization methods proposed in literature, we discuss singular processes which occur in a medium composed of particles in thermal equilibrium. The medium is shown to regulate the singularities naturally as particles acquire a finite width. We demonstrate a possible cosmological application by calculating thermally averaged cross section for an elastic scattering within a simple scalar model. The cross section, which is divergent in vacuum, becomes finite when the process occurs in a thermal bath due to the imaginary self-energy of the $t$-channel mediator computed within the Keldysh-Schwinger formalism.

THE REDUCTION OF CERTAIN TWO DIMENSIONAL SEMISTABLE REPRESENTATIONS

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 490401
subject: Algebra and number theory

description: Let p be a prime number and F be a finite extension of Qp. We established an algorithm to compute the semisimplification of the reduction of some irreducible two dimensional crystalline representations with two parameter {h,ap} when vp(ap) is large enough. We improve the known results when p|h. We also extend the algorithm to the two dimensional semistable and non-crystalline representation. We compute the semi-simplification of the reduction when vp(L) large enough and p=2. These results solve the difficulties with the case p=2. The strategies are based on the study of the Kisin modules over OF and Breuil modules over SF. By the theory of Breuil and Theorem of Colmez-Fontaine, these modules are closely related to semistable representations.
The area operator and fixed area states in conformal field theories

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: The fixed area states are constructed by gravitational path integrals in previous studies.In this paper we show the dual of the fixed area states in conformal field theories (CFTs).These CFT states are constructed by using spectrum decomposition of reduced density matrix $ρ_A$ for a subsystem $A$. For 2 dimensional CFTs we directly construct the bulk metric, which is consistent with the expected geometry of the fixed area states. For arbitrary pure geometric state $|ψ\rangle$ in any dimension we also find the consistency by using the gravity dual of Rényi entropy. We also give the relation of parameters for the bulk and boundary state. The pure geometric state $|ψ\rangle$ can be expanded as superposition of the fixed area states. Motivated by this, we propose an area operator $\hat A^ψ$. The fixed area state is the eigenstate of $\hat A^ψ$, the associated eigenvalue is related to Rényi entropy of subsystem $A$ in this state. The Ryu-Takayanagi formula can be expressed as the expectation value $\langle ψ| {\hat A}^ψ|ψ\rangle$ divided by $4G$, where $G$ is the Newton constant. We also show the fluctuation of the area operator in the geometric state $|ψ\rangle$ is suppressed in the semiclassical limit $G\to0$.

Small cosmological constant from a peculiar inflaton potential

description: We propose a novel scenario to explain the small cosmological constant (CC) by a finely tuned inflaton potential. The tuned shape is stable under radiative corrections, and our setup is technically natural. The peculiar po- tential approximately satisfies the following conditions: the inflation is eternal if CC is positive, and not eternal if CC is negative. By introducing a slowly varying CC from a positive value to a negative value, the dominant volume of the Universe after the inflation turns out to have a vanishingly small CC. The scenario does not require eternal inflation but the e-folding number is exponentially large and the inflation scale should be low enough. The scenario can have a consistent thermal history, but the present equation of state of the Universe is predicted to differ from the prediction of the ΛCDM model. A concrete model with a light scalar field is studied.

description: Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) stars are post-main sequence massive objects in a very fast ($10^4\,a$) transitional stage characterized by dense winds and impressive mass eruptions, as they are close to the Eddington limit. The combination of these factors profoundly affect the star surroundings, creating ionized and dusty nebulae, some times surrounded by molecular gas. LBVs are great infrared emitters due to their high luminosity and the high extinction caused by their circumstellar material and large distances. They have also been detected at cm-wavelengths, dominated by non-thermal emission. The mm/submm regime, however, has not been much investigated. NIKA2 is a highly sensitive continuum camera installed at the IRAM 30m radio telescope near Pico Veleta, Granada. The camera can provide images at 150 and 260 GHz (2 and 1.15 mm of wavelength, approximately), with a field of view of up to 6.5 arcmin, in a single snapshot. The operational frequencies of NIKA2 are of great interest in the study of LBVs because it is a range where both thermal and non-thermal process compete in their contribution to the SEDs. In this work we present the results achieved towards a sample of five galactic LBVs obtained using NIKA2 and a set of information gathered using Virtual Observatory tools and archives. Using NIKA2 data, we detected emission from the stars themselves, in their close surroundings, and also outside the IR nebulae. All these components depict very different spectral indexes, pinpointing that diverse mechanisms coexist, such as free-free gas emission, thermal dust and synchrotron radiation. We complemented these findings by building the SEDs of the LBV stars, where the contribution from the extended photosphere is clearly separated from warm black (grey) body emission, and non-thermal flux in some cases.

description: Abstract
Students in higher education have had a terrible time as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic. The purpose of this research is to find out what variables led to psychological stress during the COVID-19 pandemic among a group of health-related students at Jordan's Irbid National University. Irbid National University students completed an online survey. Data on demographics, academic and everyday challenges caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as physical and mental health, were collected. A convenience sample approach was utilised to collect data from 237 respondents using a self-administered questionnaire in this study. Variance-based structural equation modelling was also used to test the suggested structural model (PLS-SEM). The study population had an 85.1 percent prevalence of increased psychological stress. Daily Life, Financial Issues, General Health, and Learning Experience have positive and significant effects on Psychological Stress, but Education Environment has a negative and substantial effect on Psychological Stress, according to the findings. Students in health-related disciplines are suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic, which is having a substantial detrimental influence on their mental health. It is necessary to make proactive initiatives to ensure students' mental health and well-being.

description: $Ω^{-}$ baryon with sss quarks has been scarcely observed in the experiments so far and has been exploited through many theoretical studies only. Here, an attempt has been made to explore properties of $Ω$ with hypercentral Constituent Quark Model (hCQM) with a linear confining term. The resonance mass spectra has been obtained for 1S-4S, 1P-4P, 1D-3D and 1F-2F respectively. The Regge trajectory has been investigated for the linear nature based on calculated data alongwith the magnetic moment. The present work has been compared with various approaches and known experimental findings.

description: The Penrose process of an extremal braneworld black hole is studied. We analyze the Penrose process by two massive spinning particles collide near the horizon. By calculating the maximum energy extraction efficiency of this process, it turns out that the maximal efficiency increases as the tilde charge parameter $d$ of the braneworld blackhole decreases. Interestingly, for the negative value of $d$, the efficiency can be even larger than the Kerr case.
