description: We present electron and phonon spectral functions calculated from determinant quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the half-filled two-dimensional Hubbard-Holstein model on a square lattice. By tuning the relative electron-electron ($e$-$e$) and electron-phonon ($e$-$ph$) interaction strengths, we show the electron spectral function evolving between antiferromagnetic insulating, metallic, and charge density wave insulating phases. The phonon spectra concurrently gain a strong momentum dependence and soften in energy upon approaching the charge density wave phase. In particular, we study how the $e$-$e$ and $e$-$ph$ interactions renormalize the spectra, and analyze how the interplay of these interactions influence the spectral renormalizations. We find that the presence of both interactions suppresses the amount of renormalization at low energy, thus allowing the emergence of a metallic phase. These findings demonstrate the importance of considering the influence of multiple interactions in spectroscopically determining any one interaction strength in strongly correlated materials.

description: We introduce Augmented Math, a machine learning-based approach to authoring AR explorable explanations by augmenting static math textbooks without programming. To augment a static document, our system first extracts mathematical formulas and figures from a given document using optical character recognition (OCR) and computer vision. By binding and manipulating these extracted contents, the user can see the interactive animation overlaid onto the document through mobile AR interfaces. This empowers non-technical users, such as teachers or students, to transform existing math textbooks and handouts into on-demand and personalized explorable explanations. To design our system, we first analyzed existing explorable math explanations to identify common design strategies. Based on the findings, we developed a set of augmentation techniques that can be automatically generated based on the extracted content, which are 1) dynamic values, 2) interactive figures, 3) relationship highlights, 4) concrete examples, and 5) step-by-step hints. To evaluate our system, we conduct two user studies: preliminary user testing and expert interviews. The study results confirm that our system allows more engaging experiences for learning math concepts.

description: This pilot study assessed feasibility of computer-assisted electronic medical record (EMR) abstraction to ascertain coronary heart disease (CHD) event hospitalizations. We included a sample of 87 hospitalization records from participants the University of North Carolina (UNC) site of the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) and UNC Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) HIV Clinical Cohort who were hospitalized within UNC Healthcare System from July 2004 to July 2015. We compared a computer algorithm utilizing diagnosis/procedure codes, medications, and cardiac enzyme levels to adjudicate CHD events [myocardial infarction (MI)/coronary revascularization] from the EMR to standardized manual chart adjudication. Of 87 hospitalizations, 42 were classified as definite, 25 probable, and 20 non-CHD events by manual chart adjudication. A computer algorithm requiring presence of ≥1 CHD-related International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9)/Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code correctly identified 24 of 42 definite (57%), 29 of 67 probable/definite CHD (43%), and 95% of non-CHD events; additionally requiring clinically defined cardiac enzyme levels or administration of MI-related medications correctly identified 55%, 42%, and 95% of such events, respectively. Requiring any one of the ICD-9/CPT or cardiac enzyme criteria correctly identified 98% of definite, 97% of probable/definite CHD, and 85% of non-CHD events. Challenges included difficulty matching hospitalization dates, incomplete diagnosis code data, and multiple field names/locations of laboratory/medication data. Computer algorithms comprising only ICD-9/CPT codes failed to identify a sizable proportion of CHD events. Using a less restrictive algorithm yielded fewer missed events but increased the false-positive rate. Despite potential benefits of EMR-based research, there remain several challenges to fully computerized adjudication of CHD events.

description: Phase coherently linking optical to radio frequencies with femtosecond mode-locked laser frequency combs enabled counting the cycles of light and is the basis of optical clocks, absolute frequency synthesis, tests of fundamental physics, and improved spectroscopy. Using an optical microresonator frequency comb to establish a coherent link between optical and microwave frequencies will extend optical frequency synthesis and measurements to areas requiring compact form factor, on chip integration and comb line spacing in the microwave regime, including coherent telecommunications, astrophysical spectrometer calibration or microwave photonics. Here we demonstrate a microwave to optical link with a microresonator. Using a temporal dissipative single soliton state in an ultra-high Q crystalline microresonator that is broadened in highly nonlinear fiber an optical frequency comb is generated that is self-referenced, allowing to phase coherently link a 190 THz optical carrier directly to a 14 GHz microwave frequency. Our work demonstrates precision optical frequency measurements can be realized with compact high Q microresonators.

description: Background: Parametric g-computation is an analytic technique that can be used to estimate the effects of exposures, treatments and interventions; it relies on a different set of assumptions than more commonly used inverse probability weighted estimators. Whereas prior work has demonstrated implementations for binary exposures and continuous outcomes, use of parametric g-computation has been limited due to difficulty in implementation in more typical complex scenarios. Methods: We provide an easy-to-implement algorithm for parametric g-computation in the setting of a dynamic baseline intervention of a baseline exposure and a time-to-event outcome. To demonstrate the use of our algorithm, we apply it to estimate the effects of interventions to reduce area deprivation on the cumulative incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs: Gonorrhea, chlamydia or trichomoniasis) among women living with HIV in the Women's Interagency HIV Study. Results: We found that reducing area deprivation by a maximum of 1 tertile for all women would lead to a 2.7% [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.1%, 4.3%] reduction in 4-year STI incidence, and reducing deprivation by a maximum of 2 tertiles would lead to a 4.3% (95% CI: 1.9%, 6.4%) reduction. Conclusions: As analytic methods such as parametric g-computation become more accessible, epidemiologists will be able to estimate policy-relevant effects of interventions to better inform clinical and public health practice and policy.

description: The "metric" structure of nonrelativistic spacetimes consists of a one-form (the absolute clock) whose kernel is endowed with a positive-definite metric. Contrarily to the relativistic case, the metric structure and the torsion do not determine a unique Galilean (i.e. compatible) connection. This subtlety is intimately related to the fact that the timelike part of the torsion is proportional to the exterior derivative of the absolute clock. When the latter is not closed, torsionfreeness and metric-compatibility are thus mutually exclusive. We will explore generalisations of Galilean connections along the two corresponding alternative roads in a series of papers. In the present one, we focus on compatible connections and investigate the equivalence problem (i.e. the search for the necessary data allowing to uniquely determine connections) in the torsionfree and torsional cases. More precisely, we characterise the affine structure of the spaces of such connections and display the associated model vector spaces. In contrast with the relativistic case, the metric structure does not single out a privileged origin for the space of metric-compatible connections. In our construction, the role of the Levi-Civita connection is played by a whole class of privileged origins, the so-called torsional Newton-Cartan (TNC) geometries recently investigated in the literature. Finally, we discuss a generalisation of Newtonian connections to the torsional case.

description: Texture and flavour are the key attributes determining sensory quality and are highly affected by starter cultures. A selection of phenotypic strains is needed to create diverse texture and flavour to meet consumers’ preferences. In this study, the use of five lactic acid bacteria strains in the production of fermented milk, along with the metabolite profiles, microstructure, and rheological properties of the fermented milk samples, was investigated. Our results showed that Lactobacillus helveticus (LH) and Streptococcus thermophilus (ST) had a stronger acidification during fermentation but resulted in products with a coarser protein network compared to Lactococcus lactis (BL1) and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (CL3). Milk fermented by LH had the highest viscosity and exopolysaccharide concentration, while milk fermented by ST had the highest concentration of diacetyl. Although Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides (CL3ST) had a minimal acidification capability, it produced high levels of ethyl-derived compounds associated with sweet, fruity, and floral fragrances. The results demonstrated that LH and ST could be used as starter cultures targeting fermented milks with different viscosities, while BL1, CL3, and CL3ST are suitable as adjunct cultures to impact different acidic sharpness and flavour notes.

description: We compute, both explicitly up to next-to-leading order and in a proof by induction for all loop levels, the critical exponents for thermal Lorentz-violating O($N$) self-interacting scalar field theory. They are evaluated in a massless theory renormalized at arbitrary external momenta, where a reduced number of Feynman diagrams is eeded. The results are presented and shown to be identical to that found previously in distinct theories renormalized at different renormalization schemes. At the end we give both mathematical explanation and physical interpretation for them based on coordinates redefinition techniques and symmetry ideas, respectively.

description: The altered immune states of aging and HIV infection may affect intracellular metabolism of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and emtricitabine (FTC); increased cellular senescence decreases FTC-triphosphate (FTCtp) concentrations. The effects of age and inflammation on the ratio of intracellular metabolites (IMs; tenofovir diphosphate [TFVdp] and FTCtp) to their endogenous nucleotides (ENs; dATP and dCTP), a potential treatment efficacy marker, were assessed among participants of the Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), who ranged from 25 to 75 years. Samples from women receiving TDF-FTC with viral loads of <200 copies/ml were dichotomized by age at collection into two groups (≤45 years and ≥60 years). IM/EN concentrations were measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) pellets; interleukin-6 (IL-6) and sCD163 were measured in plasma; senescent CD8+ T cells were measured in viable PBMCs. The TFVdp:dATP and FTCtp:dCTP ratios had statistically significantly different distributions in older and younger women (log-rank test, P = 0.0023 and P = 0.032, respectively); in general, IM and EN concentrations were higher in the older women. After adjusting for potential confounders, these findings were not significant. In women aged ≤45 years, TFVdp was negatively associated with IL-6 and sCD163, while FTCtp was positively associated with sCD163 and IL-6 in women aged ≥60 years. Body mass index (BMI) was positively associated with IL-6 in both age groups and negatively associated with TFVdp in women aged ≤45 years. After adjustment, age remained significant for sCD163, while black race, BMI, and renal function remained significant for several IMs and ENs, suggesting that factors associated with aging, but not age itself, govern intracellular TDF-FTC pharmacology.

description: We constrain scattering length parameters in a Bose-Einstein condensate dark matter model by using galaxy clusters radii, with the implementation of a method previously applied to galaxies. At the present work, we use a sample of 114 clusters radii in order to obtain the scattering lengths associated with a dark matter particle mass in the range $10^{-6}-10^{-4}\, {\rm eV}$. We obtain scattering lengths that are five orders of magnitude larger than the ones found in the galactic case, even when taking into account the cosmological expansion in the cluster scale by means of the introduction of a small cosmological constant. We also construct and compare curves for the orbital velocity of a test particle in the vicinity of a dark matter cluster in both the expanding and the non-expanding cases.

description: This paper introduces HoloBots, a mixed reality remote collaboration system that augments holographic telepresence with synchronized mobile robots. Beyond existing mixed reality telepresence, HoloBots lets remote users not only be visually and spatially present, but also physically engage with local users and their environment. HoloBots allows the users to touch, grasp, manipulate, and interact with the remote physical environment as if they were co-located in the same shared space. We achieve this by synchronizing holographic user motion (Hololens 2 and Azure Kinect) with tabletop mobile robots (Sony Toio). Beyond the existing physical telepresence, HoloBots contributes to an exploration of broader design space, such as object actuation, virtual hand physicalization, world-in-miniature exploration, shared tangible interfaces, embodied guidance, and haptic communication. We evaluate our system with twelve participants by comparing it with hologram-only and robot-only conditions. Both quantitative and qualitative results confirm that our system significantly enhances the level of co-presence and shared experience, compared to the other conditions.

description: We isolated flux disorder effects on the transport at the critical point of the quantum magnetic field tuned Superconductor to Insulator transition (BSIT). The experiments employed films patterned into geometrically disordered hexagonal arrays. Spatial variations in the flux per unit cell, which grow in a perpendicular magnetic field, constitute flux disorder. The growth of flux disorder with magnetic field limited the number of BSITs exhibited by a single film due to flux matching effects. The critical metallic resistance at successive BSITs grew with flux disorder contrary to predictions of its universality. These results open the door for controlled studies of disorder effects on the universality class of an ubiquitous quantum phase transition.
title: Climbing out of organisational depression: culture change project after a toxic leadership episode
Creators: name: Ciuk, Sylwia
Publisher: name: Oxford Brookes University
Year: 2011

description: The thesis aims to offer a culturally sensitive analysis of a culture change intervention undertaken in a Polish subsidiary of a North American Pharmaceutical corporation. This is achieved by first of all examining the context in which the initiative was undertaken and subsequently the many facets of its development and implementation. More
specifically, the thesis investigates the underlying assumptions of the cultural intervention, its design and implementation, as well as the experiences and perceptions of different organisation members regarding it.

The findings come from a longitudinal qualitative study. The data collection methods comprise eighty five semi-structured interviews, photo and word collages, observation and documentary analysis. Based on a constructivist ontology and interpretivist epistemology, the study pays special attention to the storied version of organisational
reality as narrated by different participants.

The study extends the previous work on the topic by offering insights into a relatively under-explored context of a traumatised Eastern European organisation which attempted to climb out of organisational depression by reinvigorating and promoting its long standing values. The study illustrates how the local situateness of the organisation, such
as the communist history of the country, and the changes in the Polish political arena, affected the way participants perceived attempts at cultural manipulation. Furthermore, the thesis discusses how cultural interventions can perpetuate organisational delusion without necessarily leading to the desired behavioural changes. Finally, the findings
highlight the instrumentality with which the espoused organisational values are approached and responded to by different organisational actors. To this end, the thesis puts forward the notion of the political reengineering of values to discuss how organisation members, both the agents and targets of change, can creatively engage in the official discourse to promote their individual or group interests.

description: We introduce RealityCanvas, a mobile AR sketching tool that can easily augment real-world physical motion with responsive hand-drawn animation. Recent research in AR sketching tools has enabled users to not only embed static drawings into the real world but also dynamically animate them with physical motion. However, existing tools often lack the flexibility and expressiveness of possible animations, as they primarily support simple line-based geometry. To address this limitation, we explore both expressive and improvisational AR sketched animation by introducing a set of responsive scribble animation techniques that can be directly embedded through sketching interactions: 1) object binding, 2) flip-book animation, 3) action trigger, 4) particle effects, 5) motion trajectory, and 6) contour highlight. These six animation effects were derived from the analysis of 172 existing video-edited scribble animations. We showcase these techniques through various applications, such as video creation, augmented education, storytelling, and AR prototyping. The results of our user study and expert interviews confirm that our tool can lower the barrier to creating AR-based sketched animation, while allowing creative, expressive, and improvisational AR sketching experiences.

title: Optimising the comfort in cricket helmet by thermal/moisture mapping
Creators: name: Rahman Dullah, Abd
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: The importance of thermal comfort of a helmet related to heavy activities is considered to be the next to impact protection. Extensive research has been undertaken on the latter by introducing new materials/structures and computer simulations, including development of test standards. However, the helmet thermal comfort research is relatively limited. Therefore, there is a need to develop comprehensive testing methodology and numerical modelling to study the thermal comfort quantitatively. In this research programme, a novel test rig was developed by using microsensor technology to measure multi-point temperature and relative humidity (rH) inside a cricket helmet. The experimental tests were carried out on the limited ventilated and well ventilated cricket helmets at moderate and high ambient conditions in order to obtain the in-helmet micro climate thermal and moisture mappings. Results were presented in curve chart and contour plot formats, in which variations of the in-helmet temperature/rH and hot/wet spots could be clearly observed. Human subjective warmth and moisture sensations and comfort perception were also recorded and linked to the digital measurements of the in-helmet temperature and rH. Through such linkage, the equivalent sensation and perception indexes were established as tools to evaluate the predicted temperatures and rHs from the finite element (FE) parametric studies. Digital laser scanner was used to help the creation of 3D models of the head, helmet structure and air pocket and air channels' between the head and the helmet. The heat transfer and mass diffusion FE analyses showed reasonably good correlations of the in-helmet temperatures and rHs with the experimental results. Using validated computer models, parametric studies were carried out to cover various ventilation opening sizes, shapes and locations. The predicted in-helmet temperatures and rHs related to various ventilation opening configurations were processed to draw out the equivalent warmth/moisture sensation and comfort perception index scales. Such predicted scales were compared with the scales obtained from experimental measurements to judge whether the opening configuration is favourable to thermal comfort. The helmets with favourable opening configuration were subsequently subjected to impact modelling to evaluate their impact resistance. Finally, a helmet with optimised thermal comfort and necessary impact protection was recommended. This approach would assist the designing process of new types of helmet prior to prototype making or production. It is believed that the above approach will save a lot of man power and time and thus shorten the new product development cycle. The experimental methodology, finite element modelling and parametric study approach developed in this research programme can be used to study other types of helmet.

description: Background. Young adolescents with perinatally acquired human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are at risk for poor care outcomes. We examined whether universal antiretroviral treatment (ART) eligibility policies (Treat All) improved rapid ART initiation after care enrollment among 10-14-year-olds in 7 sub-Saharan African countries. Methods. Regression discontinuity analysis and data for 6912 patients aged 10-14-years were used to estimate changes in rapid ART initiation (within 30 days of care enrollment) after adoption of Treat All policies in 2 groups of countries: Uganda and Zambia (policy adopted in 2013) and Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Malawi, and Rwanda (policy adopted in 2016). Results. There were immediate increases in rapid ART initiation among young adolescents after national adoption of Treat All. Increases were greater in countries adopting the policy in 2016 than in those adopting it in 2013: 23.4 percentage points (pp) (95% confidence interval, 13.9-32.8) versus 11.2pp (2.5-19.9). However, the rate of increase in rapid ART initiation among 10-14-year-olds rose appreciably in countries with earlier treatment expansions, from 1.5pp per year before Treat All to 7.7pp per year afterward. Conclusions. Universal ART eligibility has increased rapid treatment initiation among young adolescents enrolling in HIV care.

description: The settlement of Roman Croydon is poorly understood. Studies on the course of the Roman road through the present town and research into the form of the Roman settlement have taken place in almost complete isolation and reached very different conclusions. The present article seeks to reassess the evidence in relation to the road, demonstrating that all evidence supports Ivan Margary's (1937) suggested route through the Old Town area. The settlement evidence, which had conventionally been thought to indicate a road line c400m further to the east, is reinterpreted and shown to be consistent with the idea that the settlement was primarily located along Margary's Old Town road line.

description: The megajansky radio burst, FRB 20200428, and other bright radio bursts detected from the Galactic source SGR J1935+2154 suggest that magnetars can make fast radio bursts (FRBs), but the emission site and mechanism of FRB-like bursts are still unidentified. Here we report the emergence of a radio pulsar phase of the magnetar five months after FRB 20200428. 795 pulses were detected in 16.5 hours over 13 days by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio telescope, with luminosities about eight decades fainter than FRB 20200428. The pulses were emitted in a narrow phase window anti-aligned with the X-ray pulsation profile observed by the X-ray telescopes. The bursts, conversely, appear in random phases. This dichotomy suggests that radio pulses originate from a fixed region within the magnetosphere, but bursts occur in random locations and are possibly associated with explosive events in a dynamically evolving magnetosphere. This picture reconciles the lack of periodicity in cosmological repeating FRBs within the magnetar engine model.

description: As hadron collider physics continues to push the boundaries of precision, it becomes increasingly important to have methods for predicting properties of jets across a broad range of jet radius values R, and in particular for small R. In this paper we resum all leading logarithmic terms, $α_s^n \ln^n R$, in the limit of small R, for a wide variety of observables. These include the inclusive jet spectrum, jet vetoes for Higgs physics and jet substructure tools. Some of the quantities that we consider are relevant also for heavy-ion collisions. Furthermore, we examine and comment on the underlying order-by-order convergence of the perturbative series for different R values. Our results indicate that small-R effects can be substantial. Phenomenological studies will appear in a forthcoming companion paper.

description: Background: Co-trimoxazole is recommended for all children with human immunodeficiency virus. In this analysis, we evaluate trends in pediatric co-trimoxazole use and survival on co-trimoxazole in children using antiretroviral therapy (ART). Methods: We used data collected between January 1, 2006, and March 31, 2016, from the International Epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS. Logistic regression was used to evaluate factors associated with using co-trimoxazole at ART initiation. Competing risk regression was used to assess factors associated with death. Results: A total of 54113 children were included in this study. The prevalence of co-trimoxazole use at ART initiation increased from 66.5% in 2006 to a peak of 85.6% in 2010 and then declined to 48.5% in 2015-2016. A similar trend was observed among children who started ART with severe immunodeficiency. After adjusting for year of ART initiation, younger age (odds ratio [OR], 1.18 for <1 vs 1 to <5 years of age [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.09-1.28]), lower height-for-age z score (OR, 1.15 for less than -3 vs greater than -2 [95% CI, 1.08-1.22]), anemia (OR, 1.08 [95% CI, 1.02-1.15]), severe immunodeficiency (OR, 1.25 [95% CI, 1.18-1.32]), and receiving care in East Africa (OR, 8.97 vs Southern Africa [95% CI, 8.17-9.85]) were associated with a high prevalence of co-trimoxazole use. Survival did not differ according to co-trimoxazole use in children without severe immunodeficiency (hazard ratio, 1.01 for nonusers versus users [95% CI, 0.77-1.34]). Conclusions: Recent declines in co-trimoxazole use may not be linked to the current shift toward early ART initiation. Randomized trial data might be needed to establish the survival benefit of co-trimoxazole in children without severe immunodeficiency.

description: This study examined consumers' consumption, motivations, and concerns regarding meat and meat alternatives by means of an online survey of 1061 New Zealand consumers and review of literature. Outcomes of the survey indicate New Zealanders are overwhelmingly omnivorous (93%), regard taste as the most important factor in their meat purchasing decision followed by price and freshness and consider environmental impact and social responsibility of less importance. Those surveyed indicated willingness to pay 17–24% more for food safety and sustainability related meat attributes. About half of respondents lowered their meat consumption the previous year, mainly red and processed meats, due to lack of affordability and health concerns. Although those surveyed showed high awareness about meat alternatives, their consumption level of the products was very low and more prevalent for female, younger and more educated individuals. Overall, the outlook for meat consumption and meat industry in New Zealand is positive and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.
title: Synthesis and properties of nucleic acid duplexes and quadruplexes containing 3'-S-phosphorothiolate linkages
Creators: name: Matthew  Piperakis, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: 3'-Thiopurine 2'-deoxynucleosides have been incorporated into model oligodeoxynucleotides (DONs) thus giving rise to ODNs that consist of the 3- S-phosporothiolate (3'-sp) linkage. Due to the complex chemical manipulations implicated, the preparation of such analogues has been scarcely explored to date. The 3'-thiopurine nucleosides were prepared prior to incorporation into the desired DON sequences by traditional automated 3'---+5' solid-phase phosporamidite chemistry. Two different strategies, one involving neighbouring group participation and the other an in situ oxidation-reduction, were successfully applied for the key C3' epimerisation in deoxyadenosine and deoxyguanosine, respectively. Subsequent UV denaturation studies revealed that the destabilisation effect recorded in DNA/DNA duplexes consisting of a single 3'-sp modified residue on one strand was diminished when more 3'-sp modified residues were incorporated. The destabilisation is expected on the basis that the sugars on the 3'-sp modified and neighbouring residues predominantly adopt the RNA-like North conformation. A surprising stabilisation effect was, moreover, observed for DNA/RNA hybrids containing 3'-sp modifications in the RNA strand. Additionally, when 3'-sp modifications were incorporated into both strands of the homo- or hetero-duplexes, an additive effect was generally exhibited. UV denaturation studies revealed a significant position specific 3'-sp substitution effect when incorporated into G-quadruplexes; the thermal stability of the tetramolecular complex was significantly increased when either of the two central guanines in the G-tract of the sequence was modified. A clear position-dependent substitution effect on the rate of association of the quadruplex was also observed, however, no correlation between the kinetics of association and the recorded thermal stability was realised.
Generalized Soft Breaking Leverage for the MSSM

description: In this work we study implications of additional non-holomorphic soft breaking terms (mu', A'_t, A'_b and A'_tau) on the MSSM phenomenology. By respecting the existing bounds on the mass measurements and restrictions coming from certain B-decays, we probe reactions of the MSSM to these additional soft breaking terms. We provide examples in which some slightly excluded solutions of the MSSM can be made to be consistent with the current experimental results. During this, even after applying additional fine-tuning constraints the non-holomorphic terms are allowed to be as large as hundreds of GeV. Such terms prove that they are capable of enriching the phenomenology and varying the mass spectra of the MSSM heavily, with a reasonable amount of fine-tuning. We observe that higgsinos, the lightest stop, the heavy Higgs boson states A, H, charged H, sbottom and stau exhibit the highest sensitivity to the new terms. We also show how the light stop can become nearly degenerate with top quark using these non-holomorphic terms.
