description: We study Yang Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions, as an array of coupled (1+1)-dimensional principal chiral sigma models. This can be understood as an anisotropic limit where one of the space-time dimensions is discrete and the others are continuous. The $SU(N)\times SU(N)$ principal chiral sigma model in 1+1 dimensions is integrable, asymptotically free and has massive excitations. New exact form factors and correlation functions of the sigma model have recently been found by the author and P. Orland. In this paper, we use these new results to calculate physical quantities in (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, generalizing previous $SU(2)$ results by Orland, which include the string tensions and the low-lying glueball spectrum. We also present a new approach to calculate two-point correlation functions of operators using the light glueball states. The anisotropy of the theory yields different correlation functions for operators separated in the $x^1$ and $x^2$-directions.

Measurement of Higgs boson production and properties in the WW decay channel with leptonic final states
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to a W-boson pair at the LHC is reported. The event sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 and 19.4 inverse femtobarns collected with the CMS detector in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 and 8 TeV, respectively. The Higgs boson candidates are selected in events with two or three charged leptons. An excess of events above background is observed, consistent with the expectation from the standard model Higgs boson with a mass of around 125 GeV. The probability to observe an excess equal or larger than the one seen, under the background-only hypothesis, corresponds to a significance of 4.3 standard deviations for m[H] = 125.6 GeV. The observed signal cross section times the branching fraction to WW for m[H] = 125.6 GeV is 0.72+0.20-0.18 times the standard model expectation. The spin-parity J(P)=0(+) hypothesis is favored against a narrow resonance with J(P)=2(+) or J(P)=0(-) that decays to a W-boson pair. This result provides strong evidence for a Higgs-like boson decaying to a W-boson pair.

description: Within 5-10 years, very-long baseline interferometry (VLBI) facilities will be able to directly image the accretion flow around SgrA$^*$, the super-massive black hole candidate at the center of the Galaxy, and observe the black hole "shadow". In 4-dimensional general relativity, the no-hair theorem asserts that uncharged black holes are described by the Kerr solution and are completely specified by their mass $M$ and by their spin parameter $a$. In this paper, we explore the possibility of distinguishing Kerr and Bardeen black holes from their shadow. In Hioki & Maeda (2009), under the assumption that the background geometry is described by the Kerr solution, the authors proposed an algorithm to estimate the value of $a/M$ by measuring the distortion parameter $δ$, an observable quantity that characterizes the shape of the shadow. Here, we try to extend their approach. Since the Hioki-Maeda distortion parameter is degenerate with respect to the spin and possible deviations from the Kerr solution, one has to measure another quantity to test the Kerr black hole hypothesis. We study a few possibilities. We find that it is extremely difficult to distinguish Kerr and Bardeen black holes from the sole observation of the shadow, and out of reach for the near future. The combination of the measurement of the shadow with possible accurate radio observations of a pulsar in a compact orbit around SgrA$^*$ could be a more promising strategy to verify the Kerr black hole paradigm.

description: If grand unification is real, searches for baryon-number violation should be included on the list of observables that may reveal information regarding the origin of neutrino masses. Making use of an effective-operator approach and assuming that nature is SU(5) invariant at very short distances, we estimate the consequences of different scenarios that lead to light Majorana neutrinos for low-energy phenomena that violate baryon number minus lepton number (B-L) by two (or more) units, including neutron-antineutron oscillations and B-L violating nucleon decays. We find that, among all possible effective theories of lepton-number violation that lead to nonzero neutrino masses, only a subset is, broadly speaking, consistent with grand unification.

description: There is increased emphasis on adopting positive health and aging policy goals for heterogeneous older populations, and recognition of the role that participatory research approaches can play in supporting their implementation. However,questions remain about how to represent the marginalized experiences of some older populations within such processes. With a focus on older Irish ethnic Travelers and older homeless adults as two vulnerable populations in Ireland, this article presents and critically discusses a participatory approach developed to integrate marginalized older adult perspectives on positive health and aging in a multistakeholder research and development process. The qualitative methodology is first detailed, incorporating methods that harness collaboratively derived views and individual narratives (e.g., focus groups; consultation forums; in-depth interviews). Critical reflections on research implementation and specific considerations relevant to these populations are presented (e.g., trust building; one-to-one facilitation), with lessons then drawn for the design of multistakeholder participatory approaches with marginalized older populations.

description: In this work, we examine the sensitivity of monojet searches at the LHC to directly produced charginos and neutralinos (electroweakinos) in the limit of small mass splitting, where the traditional multilepton plus missing energy searches loose their sensitivity. We first recast the existing 8 TeV monojet search at CMS in terms of a SUSY simplified model with only light gauginos (winos and binos) or only light higgsinos. The current searches are not sensitive to MSSM like production cross sections, but would be sensitive to models with 2-20 times enhanced production cross section, for particle masses between 100 GeV and 250 GeV. Then we explore the sensitivity in the 14 TeV run of the LHC. Here we emphasise that in addition to the pure monojet search, soft leptons present in the samples can be used to increase the sensitivity. Exclusion of electroweakino masses up to 200 GeV is possible with 300 fb$^{-1}$ at the LHC, if the systematic error can be reduced to the 1% level. Discovery is possible with 3000 fb$^{-1}$ in some regions of parameter space.

Coastal Storm Survey

Publisher: name: New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), Bureau of Coastal Engineering
Year: 2005

description: The combination of a large high pressure centered over eastern Canada, Hurricane Wilma, and the remnants of Tropical Storm Alpha offshore, and a cold front approaching from the great lakes resulted in the formation of a powerful hybrid coastal storm that quickly deepened just east of the Delmarva Peninsula. The resulting low brought with it strong onshore winds, moderate coastal flooding and severe erosion on all Atlantic facing beaches statewide. Sustained northeast winds peaked around 40 Knots early Monday morning, resulting in large breakers exceeding 12-feet along the New Jersey shore.  The bureau of coastal engineering conducted a preliminary survey of the New Jersey coastline on Tuesday, October 25th, and again on Wednesday, October 26th, the cumulative results of which are attached to this report.

Publisher: name: New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), Division of Water Supply, Bureau of Safe Drinking Water
Year: 2007

description: In the late 1990s, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began to review information on perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA, also known as C-8), on the grounds that it might pose a risk to human health and the environment. PFOA is a synthetic chemical, but it is not a specifically regulated contaminant under the requirements of N.J.A.C. 7:10, the New Jersey State Drinking Water Regulations, or the associated Federal Rules at 40 CFR Part 141. However, in July and August 2006 the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) Bureau of Safe Drinking Water (BSDW) conducted a sampling study on raw and treated public water systems throughout the state, to determine preliminary occurrence data for both PFOA and the associated compound perfluorooctanoic sulfonate (PFOS). Sampled sites included both those where PFOA was expected to be found, such as facilities where PFOA  may have been used, handled, stored and/or manufactured, and control sites where PFOA was not expected to be found. PFOA was detected in 18 of 23 (78%) of the public water system samples, and PFOS was detected in 13 of 23 (57%) of the public water system samples. The report includes appendices containing comprehensive results from the BSDW study, and independent results from testing in Salem County and Sayreville.

description: Intelligence, as well as working memory and attention, affect the acquisition of mathematical competencies. This paper aimed to examine the influence of working memory and attention when taking different mathematical skills into account as a function of children’s intellectual ability. Overall, intelligence, working memory, attention and numerical skills were assessed twice in 1868 German pre-school children (t1, t2) and again at 2nd grade (t3). We defined three intellectual ability groups based on the results of intellectual assessment at t1 and t2. Group comparisons revealed significant differences between the three intellectual ability groups. Over time, children with low intellectual ability showed the lowest achievement in domain-general and numerical and mathematical skills compared to children of average intellectual ability. The highest achievement on the aforementioned variables was found for children of high intellectual ability. Additionally, path modelling revealed that, depending on the intellectual ability, different models of varying complexity could be generated. These models differed with regard to the relevance of the predictors (t2) and the future mathematical skills (t3). Causes and conclusions of these findings are discussed.

description: We extensively reanalyze effects of a long-lived negatively charged massive particle, X-, on big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). The BBN model with an X- particle was originally motivated by the discrepancy between 6,7Li abundances predicted in standard BBN model and those inferred from observations of metal-poor stars. In this model 7Be is destroyed via the recombination with an X- particle followed by radiative proton capture. We calculate precise rates for the radiative recombinations of 7Be, 7Li, 9Be, and 4He with X-. In nonresonant rates we take into account respective partial waves of scattering states and respective bound states. The finite sizes of nuclear charge distributions cause deviations in wave functions from those of point-charge nuclei. For a heavy X- mass, m_X \gtrsim 100 GeV, the d-wave --> 2P transition is most important for 7Li and 7,9Be, unlike recombination with electrons. Our new nonresonant rate of the 7Be recombination for m_X=1000 GeV is more than 6 times larger than the existing rate. Moreover, we suggest a new important reaction for 9Be production: the recombination of 7Li and X- followed by deuteron capture. We derive binding energies of X-nuclei along with reaction rates and Q-values. We then calculate BBN and find that the amount of 7Be destruction depends significantly on the charge distribution of 7Be. Finally, updated constraints on the initial abundance and the lifetime of the X- are derived in the context of revised upper limits to the primordial 6Li abundance. Parameter regions for the solution to the 7Li problem are revised, and the primordial 9Be abundances is revised.

The Mullica River Basin: A Report to the Pinelands Commission on the Status of the Landscape and Selected Aquatic and Wetland Resources
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: New Jersey Pinelands Commission
Year: 2001

description: This Pinelands Commission report presents the results of their Mullica River Basin long-term environmental-monitoring program, which started in the early 1990's with the goal of evaluating the ecological consequences of the Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP) for the Pinelands National Reserve. The main objectives of the program were to characterize the effect of existing land-use patterns on aquatic and wetland resources and to monitor long-term changes in these resources. The Mullica River Basin was selected as the focus because it is centrally located, consists of several large drainage basins that display a range of land-use and zoning characteristics, and includes large tracts of public land. The major findings of studies that were published as part of the program are summarized, and unpublished data are analyzed and discussed. All biological data collected during the study are included in the report as appendices, along with water-quality data. The report includes three parts: Part 1 describes the changing landscape of the Mullica River Basin. Part 2 characterizes the status of the region's surface waters and relates water quality to land-use patterns. In Part 3, the composition of aquatic and wetland communities are described in relation to site specific and regional drainage-basin characteristics.

description: Background Tigecycline is a vital antibiotic treatment option for infections caused by multiresistant bacteria in the intensive care unit (ICU). Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in the ICU requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), but pharmacokinetic data for tigecycline in patients receiving CRRT are lacking. Methods Eleven patients mainly with intra-abdominal infections receiving either continuous veno-venous hemodialysis (CVVHD, n = 8) or hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF, n = 3) were enrolled, and plasma as well as effluent samples were collected according to a rich sampling schedule. Total and free tigecycline was determined by ultrafiltration and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-UV. Population pharmacokinetic modeling using NONMEM® 7.4 was used to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters as well as the clearance of CVVHD and CVVHDF. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target attainment analyses were performed to explore the potential need for dose adjustments of tigecycline in CRRT. Results A two-compartment population pharmacokinetic (PK) model was suitable to simultaneously describe the plasma PK and effluent measurements of tigecycline. Tigecycline dialysability was high, as indicated by the high mean saturation coefficients of 0.79 and 0.90 for CVVHD and CVVHDF, respectively, and in range of the concentration-dependent unbound fraction of tigecycline (45–94%). However, the contribution of CRRT to tigecycline clearance (CL) was only moderate (CLCVVHD: 1.69 L/h, CLCVVHDF: 2.71 L/h) in comparison with CLbody (physiological part of the total clearance) of 18.3 L/h. Bilirubin was identified as a covariate on CLbody in our collective, reducing the observed interindividual variability on CLbody from 58.6% to 43.6%. The probability of target attainment under CRRT for abdominal infections was ≥ 0.88 for minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ≤ 0.5 mg/L and similar to patients without AKI. Conclusions Despite high dialysability, dialysis clearance displayed only a minor contribution to tigecycline elimination, being in the range of renal elimination in patients without AKI. No dose adjustment of tigecycline seems necessary in CRRT. Trial registration EudraCT, 2012–005617-39. Registered on 7 August 2013.
Thermal and compositional stratification of the inner core

description: The improvements of the knowledge of the seismic structure of the inner core and the complexities thereby revealed ask for a dynamical origin. Sub-solidus convection was one of the early suggestions to explain the seismic anisotropy, but it requires an unstable density gradient either from thermal or compositional origin, or from both. Temperature and composition profiles in the inner core are computed using a unidimensional model of core evolution including diffusion in the inner core and fractional crystallisation at the inner core boundary (ICB). The thermal conductivity of the core has been recently revised upwardly and, moreover, found to increase with depth. Values of the heat flow across the core mantle boundary (CMB) sufficient to maintain convection in the whole outer core are not sufficient to make the temperature in the inner core super-isentropic and therefore prone to thermal instability. An unreasonably high CMB heat flow is necessary to this end. The compositional stratification results from a competition of the increase of the concentration of light elements in the outer core with inner core growth, which makes the inner core concentration also increase, and of the decrease of the liquidus, which makes the partition coefficient decrease as well as the concentration of light elements in the solid. While the latter (destabilizing) effect dominates at small inner core sizes, the former takes over for a large inner core. The turnover point is encountered for an inner core about half its current size in the case of S, but much larger for the case of O. The combined thermal and compositional buoyancy is stabilizing and solid-state convection in the inner core appears unlikely, unless an early double-diffusive instability can set in.

description: High-energy particles hitting the upper atmosphere of the Earth produce extensive air showers that can be detected from the ground level using imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The images recorded by Cherenkov telescopes can be analyzed to separate gamma-ray events from the background hadron events. Many of the methods of analysis require simulation of massive amounts of events and the corresponding images by the Monte Carlo method. However, Monte Carlo simulation is computationally expensive. The data simulated by the Monte Carlo method can be augmented by images generated using faster machine learning methods such as generative adversarial networks or conditional variational autoencoders. We use a conditional variational autoencoder to generate images of gamma events from a Cherenkov telescope of the TAIGA experiment. The variational autoencoder is trained on a set of Monte Carlo events with the image size, or the sum of the amplitudes of the pixels, used as the conditional parameter. We used the trained variational autoencoder to generate new images with the same distribution of the conditional parameter as the size distribution of the Monte Carlo-simulated images of gamma events. The generated images are similar to the Monte Carlo images: a classifier neural network trained on gamma and proton events assigns them the average gamma score 0.984, with less than 3% of the events being assigned the gamma score below 0.999. At the same time, the sizes of the generated images do not match the conditional parameter used in their generation, with the average error 0.33.

description: NiMnSb is a ferromagnetic half-metal which, because of its rich anisotropy and very low Gilbert damping, is a promising candidate for applications in information technologies. We have investigated the in-plane anisotropy properties of thin, MBE-grown NiMnSb films as a function of their Mn concentration. Using ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) to determine the uniaxial and four-fold anisotropy fields, 2KU/Ms and 2K1/Ms, we find that a small variation in composition is sufficient to change the film from primarily four-fold to primarily uniaxial behavior, allowing for continuous tuning of the anisotropy. This provides valuable flexibility in designing new device geometries.

description: Vor über zehn Jahren endete der srilankische Bürgerkrieg zwischen der Regierung und den tamilischen Befreiungstigern (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, LTTE). Die Regierung unter dem damaligen Präsidenten Mahinda Rajapaksa hatte ab 2006 damit begonnen, den Waffenstillstand, auf den sich beide Seiten sechs Jahre zuvor nach mühsamen Verhandlungen geeinigt hatten, aufzukündigen und massiv militärisch zu mobilisieren. Dies endete im Mai 2009 mit der Vernichtung der LTTE, nachdem die srilankischen Streitkräfte über Monate hinweg zivile Schutzzonen bombardiert und die LTTE-Führung erschossen hatten. Eine Aufarbeitung unter dem Aspekt des internationalen Strafrechts leistet der nachfolgende Text.
