Search for charged Higgs bosons from top quark decays in \ppbar collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV
Creators: name: CDF Collaboration

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report the results of a search for a charged Higgs boson in the decays of top quarks produced in \ppbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. We use a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 193/pb collected by the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab. No evidence for charged Higgs production is found, allowing 95% C.L. upper limits to be placed on BR(t->H^+b) for different charged Higgs decay scenarios. In addition, we present in the MSSM (mH,tan beta) plane the first exclusion regions with radiative and Yukawa coupling corrections.

description: The use of prostate-specific membrane antigen-positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET) is becoming more widespread for the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer. Here we report a case of oligometastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to the testes diagnosed incidentally on PSMA-PET imaging. This case demonstrates the potential for diagnosis of nonprostate disease with PSMA-PET imaging, as well as the promising nature of PSMA-PET for the diagnosis and surveillance of RCC. In addition, this case report discusses the rare occurrence of oligometastatic RCC to the testis.
Defensible Explanations for Algorithmic Decisions about Writing in Education

subject: Natural language processing

description: This dissertation is a call for collaboration at the interdisciplinary intersection of natural language processing, explainable machine learning, philosophy of science, and education technology. If we want algorithm decision-making to be explainable, those decisions must be defensible by practitioners in a social context, rather than transparent about their technical and mathematical details. Moreover, I argue that a narrow view of explanation, specifically one focused on causal reasoning about deep neural networks, is unsuccessful even on its own terms. To that end, the rest of the thesis aims to build alternate, non-causal tools for explaining behavior of classification models. My technical contributions study human judgments in two distinct domains. First, I study group decision-making, releasing a large scale corpus of structured data from Wikipedia’s deletion debates. I show how decisions can be predicted and debate outcomes explained based on social and discursive norms. Next, in automated essay scoring, I study a dataset of student writing, collected through an ongoing cross-institutional tool for academic advising and diagnostic for college readiness. Here, I explore the characteristics of essays that receive disparate scores, focusing on several topics including genre norms, fairness audits across race and gender, and investigative topic modeling. In both cases, I show how to evaluate and choose the most straightforward tools that effectively make predictions, advocating for classical approaches over deep neural methods when appropriate. In my conclusion, I advance a new framework for building defensible explanations for trained models. Recognizing that explanations are constructed based on a scientific discourse, and that automated systems must be trustworthy for both developers and users, I develop success criteria for earning that trust. I conclude by connecting to critical theory, arguing that truly defensible algorithmic decision making must not only be explainable, but must be held accountable for the power structures it enables and extends.

description: Milk consumption patterns are changing in Portugal. Factors like convenience, quality and safety increasingly constitute the basis for the Portuguese consumer purchasing decision. Demand for organic milk products (OMP) is emerging while most of these products are supplied by foreign companies. This study explores the demand for OMP in Portugal using both direct market observation and multivariate methods, in particular factor and cluster analysis. It appears that there are specific emerging segments preferring OMP, as they are increasingly concerned by health attributes and environmental protection.

description: We derive hydrodynamics of a prototypical one dimensional model, having variable-range hopping, which mimics passive diffusion and ballistic motion of active, or self-propelled, particles. The model has two main ingredients - the hardcore interaction and the competing mechanisms of short and long range hopping. We calculate two density-dependent transport coefficients - the bulk-diffusion coefficient and the conductivity, the ratio of which, despite violation of detailed balance, is connected to number fluctuation by an Einstein relation. In the limit of infinite range hopping, the model exhibits, upon tuning density $ρ$ (or activity), a "superfluid" transition from a finitely conducting state to an infinitely conducting one, characterized by a divergence in conductivity $χ(ρ) \sim (ρ-ρ_c)^{-1}$ with $ρ_c$ being the critical density. The diverging conductivity greatly increases particle (or vacancy) mobility and induces "giant" number fluctuations in the system.

description: Collaboration has become crucial in solving scientific problems in biomedical and health sciences. There is a growing interest in applying social network analysis to professional associations aiming to leverage expertise and resources for optimal synergy. As a set of computational and statistical methods for analyzing social networks, exponential random graph models (ERGMs) examine complex collaborative networks due to their uniqueness of allowing for non-independent variables in network modeling. This study took a review approach to collect and analyze ERGM applications in health sciences by following the protocol of a systematic review. We included a total of 30 studies. The bibliometric characteristics revealed significant authors, institutions, countries, funding agencies, and citation impact associated with the publications. In addition, we observed five types of ERGMs for network modeling (standard ERGM and its extensions—Bayesian ERGM, temporal ERGM, separable temporal ERGM, and multilevel ERGM). Most studies (80%) used the standard ERGM, which possesses only endogenous and exogenous variables examining either micro- (individual-based) or macro-level (organization-based) collaborations without exploring how the links between individuals and organizations contribute to the overall network structure. Our findings help researchers (a) understand the extant research landscape of ERGM applications in health sciences, (b) learn to control and predict connection occurrence in a collaborative network, and (c) better design ERGM-applied studies to examine complex relations and social system structure, which is native to professional collaborations.

description: Household food consumption data is used to estimate likely changes in diet under healthy eating guidelines, and the consequences this would have on the agricultural sector in England and Wales. The first step entails imposing nutrient restrictions on food consumption following dietary recommendations. The resulting diet is then used as a proxy for demand in agricultural commodities, to test the impact of such a scenario on agricultural land use and production. Results of the diet optimisation indicate a severe drop in foods rich in saturated fats and sugar, essentially cheese and sugar-based products, along with lesser cuts in fat and meat products Conversely, consumption of fruit & vegetables, cereals, and flour would increase to meet dietary fibre recommendations. Such a shift in demand would dramatically affect production patterns: the margin of England and Wales agriculture would rise, due to increased production of high market value and high margin crops. Some regions would however be negatively affected, mostly those regions dependent on beef and sheep production that could not benefit from an increased demand for cereals. The effects of these changes would also be felt in upstream industries such as feed suppliers.

description: Inspired by recent measurements with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab, we perform a self-consistent analysis of world data on the proton structure function g1 in the range 0.17 < Q2 < 30 (GeV/c)**2. We compute for the first time low-order moments of g1 and study their evolution from small to large values of Q2. The analysis includes the latest data on both the unpolarized inclusive cross sections and the ratio R = sigmaL / sigmaT from Jefferson Lab, as well as a new model for the transverse asymmetry A2 in the resonance region. The contributions of both leading and higher twists are extracted, taking into account effects from radiative corrections beyond the next-to-leading order by means of soft-gluon resummation techniques. The leading twist is determined with remarkably good accuracy and is compared with the predictions obtained using various polarized parton distribution sets available in the literature. The contribution of higher twists to the g1 moments is found to be significantly larger than in the case of the unpolarized structure function F2.

description: Kenya is currently in the process of introducing genetically modified maize (Bt maize). A major concern is that the Bt gene might cross into local varieties through cross pollination. Current regulatory strategies to ensure coexistence of the two cropping systems at the farm level rely on spatial isolation measures-separation distances and/or buffer zones. However, the interaction of practical measures and costs of spatial isolation with the farmer’s economic incentive to plant a Bt maize crop have not been studied in Kenya. The purpose of this study was to analyze the technical and economic feasibility of the implementation of spatial coexistence measures. Using spatial geo-referenced data from the actual agricultural landscape in lowland coastal Kenya, the study finds that flexible separation distances hold the possibility of ensuring coexistence in the region, but will be difficult to implement. Rigid buffer strips on the other hand are not consistent with the producers’ economic incentive to plant a Bt maize crop.

description: HST ACS and NICMOS data are now of sufficient depth and areal coverage to place strong constraints on the formation and evolution of galaxies during the first 1-2 Gyrs of the universe. Of particular interest are galaxies at z~6 since they represent the earliest epoch accessible by current high-efficiency optical instrumentation. To this end, we have constructed a sample of 506 z~6 objects from all the deepest wide-area HST data (UDF, UDF-Parallel, and GOODS fields). They have been used to construct an optimal determination of the rest-frame continuum UV LF at z~6. Our LF extends to over 3 magnitudes below L*, fainter than has been done at z~3. Over the interval z~6 to z~3, we find strong evidence for evolution in the UV LF. Though constraints on the faint-end slope remain modest (and are consistent with no-evolution), the characteristic luminosity appears to have approximately doubled over the interval z~6 to z~3, consistent with hierarchical expectations. Remarkably, this shift to lower luminosities extends to even higher redshifts. Using all deep J+H NICMOS observations (800 orbits in total), we have been able to demonstrate that the bright end of the LF (>0.3L*) is at least 5 times lower at z~10 than at z~4, with a similar deficit being established from our recent detections and first statistical sample of z~7-8 galaxies using our UDF NICMOS data. In these proceedings, we discuss what is known about the UV LF and UV luminosity density at z~6-10 from current data and its evolution relative to z~3. We also describe several exciting prospects for advance in this area over the next year.

description: BACKGROUND: Endothelial cells regulate their cell cycle as blood vessels remodel and transition to quiescence downstream of blood flow-induced mechanotransduction. Laminar blood flow leads to quiescence, but how flow-mediated quiescence is established and maintained is poorly understood.
METHODS: Primary human endothelial cells were exposed to laminar flow regimens and gene expression manipulations, and quiescence depth was analyzed via time-to-cell cycle reentry after flow cessation. Mouse and zebrafish endothelial expression patterns were examined via scRNA-seq (single-cell RNA sequencing) analysis, and mutant or morphant fish lacking p27 were analyzed for endothelial cell cycle regulation and in vivo cellular behaviors.
RESULTS: Arterial flow-exposed endothelial cells had a distinct transcriptome, and they first entered a deep quiescence, then transitioned to shallow quiescence under homeostatic maintenance conditions. In contrast, venous flow-exposed endothelial cells entered deep quiescence early that did not change with homeostasis. The cell cycle inhibitor p27 (CDKN1B) was required to establish endothelial flow-mediated quiescence, and expression levels positively correlated with quiescence depth. p27 loss in vivo led to endothelial cell cycle upregulation and ectopic sprouting, consistent with loss of quiescence. HES1 and ID3, transcriptional repressors of p27 upregulated by arterial flow, were required for quiescence depth changes and the reduced p27 levels associated with shallow quiescence.
CONCLUSIONS: Endothelial cell flow-mediated quiescence has unique properties and temporal regulation of quiescence depth that depends on the flow stimulus. These findings are consistent with a model whereby flow-mediated endothelial cell quiescence depth is temporally regulated downstream of p27 transcriptional regulation by HES1 and ID3. The findings are important in understanding endothelial cell quiescence misregulation that leads to vascular dysfunction and disease.
Convolutional neural network based hierarchical autoencoder for nonlinear mode decomposition of fluid field data

description: We propose a customized convolutional neural network based autoencoder called a hierarchical autoencoder, which allows us to extract nonlinear autoencoder modes of flow fields while preserving the contribution order of the latent vectors. As preliminary tests, the proposed method is first applied to a cylinder wake at $Re_D$ = 100 and its transient process. It is found that the proposed method can extract the features of these laminar flow fields as the latent vectors while keeping the order of their energy content. The present hierarchical autoencoder is further assessed with a two-dimensional $y-z$ cross-sectional velocity field of turbulent channel flow at $Re_τ$ = 180 in order to examine its applicability to turbulent flows. It is demonstrated that the turbulent flow field can be efficiently mapped into the latent space by utilizing the hierarchical model with a concept of ordered autoencoder mode family. The present results suggest that the proposed concept can be extended to meet various demands in fluid dynamics including reduced order modeling and its combination with linear theory-based methods by using its ability to arrange the order of the extracted nonlinear modes.

description: Tobacco production in China is influenced by a government-set procurement price for tobacco leaf, and an excise tax on tobacco leaf revenue. This study examines the increase in the procurement price needed to keep tax revenue constant in the face of a 50% reduction in the tax rate. This “compensative effect” is important because reductions in the tax rate are contemplated and tobacco tax revenue is a major source of funding for rural communities. Based on an equilibrium-displacement model of China’s tobacco sector, results suggest the “Compensated Effect Elasticity” (CEE) is between 1.0 and 2.5. This means a 50% cut in the tax rate would necessitate an increase in the procurement price of between 50% and 125%. Sensitivity analysis indicates CEE is most sensitive to the retail demand and input substitution elasticities and least sensitive to oligopoly power and returns to scale.

description: Combustion-generated pollutants, principally those from solid-fuel including biomass and coal when cooking and heating, bring out a significant public health hazard in both developed and developing countries. Most of the existing studies addressing this issue focus on developing countries, and on exposure when cooking rather than heating. By using the Kentucky Homeplace Program data, this research explores the health risk associated with heating fuel choice. Logit model was applied to get the estimation. The results indicate that using polluting heating fuel increases the odds of suffering from respiratory disease, although this positive effect is not significantly strong. The study also shows the strong evidence that people having asthma or allergy condition are less likely to choose polluting heating, and using coal as heating fuel has significantly positive effect on the prevalence of respiratory disease. Some demographic, socioeconomic and lifestyle characteristics do have significant effects on the prevalence of the respiratory disease, asthma and allergy.

description: In [1] si era discusso del Pantheon e del ruolo che ha la luce che penetra nell'Oculus il giorno del Dies Natalis di Roma, il 21 Aprile. Secondo alcuni studiosi, a mezzogiorno del Natale di Roma, l'imperatore, entrando nel Pantheon veniva illuminato dalla luce che passava attraverso l'oculus. La porta d'ingresso è infatti posta a settentrione. Per quello che si conosce sulle celebrazioni del natale di Roma, ovvero della festa delle Palilie, sappiamo che si svolgevano all’Ara di Vesta. Non esiste letteratura antica che parla di riti relativi che svolgessero anche al Pantheon. Inoltre, il Pantheon che vediamo oggi è quello edificato da Adriano e quindi l'effetto legato alla luce che passa per l'oculus è relativo a questo edificio. Su come era il Pantheon originale, dovuto ad Agrippa al tempo di Augusto, ci sono ipotesi che vengono da scavi. Il lavoro propone quindi una serie di osservazioni sul Pantheon e alcuni riferimenti letterari.
Tensioni tra aspirazioni universali e manifestazioni particolari nel buddhismo Theravāda

description: This contribution will discuss the concepts of universal and particular in relation to the doctrinal transmission of Theravāda Buddhism. At first, the transformation of the universal doctrine known as Dhamma in a particular teaching (sāsana) will be considered. Later, the attempt by Buddhists to universalize the way of exposition known as Abhidhamma will be addressed, also briefly discussing a late narrative in which the Buddha preaches the Abhidhamma in a Heaven to his mother. As this narrative is included within the commentarial literature, the latter will be introduced as a way to maintain a more circumlocutory way of exposition (more particular and less universal). Finally, the language in which the Theravāda texts reached us, the so called Pāli, will be historically introduced, highlighting its function as a ‘language of convenience’ and observing how the Theravāda exegesis attempted to universalize such a language.

description: We perform a unitary renormalization group (URG) study of the 1D fermionic Hubbard model. The formalism generates a family of effective Hamiltonians and many-body eigenstates arranged holographically across the tensor network from UV to IR. The URG is realized as a quantum circuit, leading to the entanglement holographic mapping (EHM) tensor network description. A topological $Θ$-term of the projected Hilbert space of the degrees of freedom at the Fermi surface are shown to govern the nature of RG flow towards either the gapless Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid or gapped quantum liquid phases. This results in a nonperturbative version of the Berezenskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) RG phase diagram, revealing a line of intermediate coupling stable fixed points, while the nature of RG flow around the critical point is identical to that obtained from the weak-coupling RG analysis. This coincides with a phase transition in the many-particle entanglement, as the entanglement entropy RG flow shows distinct features for the critical and gapped phases depending on the value of the topological $Θ$-term. We demonstrate the Ryu-Takyanagi entropy bound for the many-body eigenstates comprising the EHM network, concretizing the relation to the holographic duality principle. The scaling of the entropy bound also distinguishes the gapped and gapless phases, implying the generation of very different holographic spacetimes across the critical point. Finally, we treat the Fermi surface as a quantum impurity coupled to the high energy electronic states. A thought-experiment is devised in order to study entanglement entropy generated by isolating the impurity, and propose ways by which to measure it by studying the quantum noise and higher order cumulants of the full counting statistics.

The landslide response of alpine basins to post-Little Ice Age glacial thinning and retreat
Creators: name: Holm, Kristopher William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The retreat of glaciers following the end of the Little Ice Age (since approximately 1850 AD) has been cited as a cause for increased landslide activity in alpine basins. The primary reasons for this are the combined effects of removal of ice buttressing from bedrock slopes and deposition of glacial drift in steep areas prone to instability. Nineteen alpine basins along the upper Lillooet River valley, northwest of Pemberton, B.C., were studied to investigate the controls of post-Little Ice Age Neoglacial retreat on landslide activity . Terrain containing landslides was characterized by identifying how Neoglacial scouring and retreat have modified terrain, thus affecting slope stability. A decision-making flowchart was constructed to assist future identification of landslide hazards associated with ongoing glacial retreat. This work was based on field observation, GIS analysis, statistical associations between landslides and terrain attributes, and comparison of Neoglaciated and non-Neoglaciated terrain within each basin. Examples of landslides influenced by Neoglacial retreat include debris slides and debris flows, rockfall, rockslides, rock avalanches, and, slow deep-seated slope movements. In bedrock, landslide response to post-Little Ice Age Neoglacial retreat ranges from severe in the Meager Creek volcanic area to low in many granitic rock basins. In general, the magnitude of landslide response depends on the intensity of glacial scour below the Neoglacial trimline. Basins underlain by weak volcanic rocks experienced significant oversteepening by Neoglacial scour, and active rockfall, deep-seated slope movements and large failures occur near glacial trimlines. Basins underlain by granitic rock rarely show increased bedrock instability resulting from Neoglacial retreat, except for shallow rockfall along some glacial trimlines and failures in previously unstable slopes. In surficial materials, landslides associated with Neoglacial retreat occur in till and colluvium and are concentrated within the Neoglacial Limit along trimlines. Landslide processes in surficial materials are classified as primary and secondary Neoglacial effects. Primary effects involved evidence of direct Neoglacial influence on landslide activity, and included glacial undercutting of colluvial or drift embankments and deposition of glacial drift in areas prone to instability. Secondary effects involved deposition of drift material in locations entrainable by failures initiating upslope of the trimline. The Neoglacial effects investigated in this thesis concern only one of many factors contributing to landslide activity in alpine basins. Nevertheless, the study results suggest that Neoglacial scour, retreat, and deposition are significant factors for increased landslide density in areas already prone to instability.

description: We approach Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a process in which particular CSR activities impact on consumers’ store evaluation and trust. We hypothesize that consumers classify CSR activities along two dimensions: (1) the beneficiary of the activity and (2) the intrinsic contribution of the retailer, implying that consumers are interested in who reaps the benefits of the activity and how much the retailer invests in the activity. This conceptualization is confirmed in two field studies with 823 and 486 consumers. These field studies also show that consumers who perceive more CSR have more trust in the store and that their overall evaluation of the store is higher. Furthermore, it is shown that even though CSR affects both outcomes, the effect on trust is stronger than the effect on store evaluation. Our research indicates that CSR is particularly suited to build trust. Economic activities, on the other hand, are better for obtaining a good store evaluation.

description: We present comparative studies of the orientation effect of a strong magnetic field on the interlayer resistance of $α$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$KHg(SCN)$_4$ samples characterized by different crystal quality. We find striking differences in their behavior which is attributed to the breakdown of the coherent charge transport across the layers in the lower quality sample. In the latter case, the nonoscillating magnetoresistance background is essentially a function of only the out-of-plane field component, in contradiction to the existing theory.

description: We report an optical dipole trap for calcium. The trap is created by focusing a 488 nm argon-ion laser beam into a calcium magneto-optical trap. The argon-ion laser photo-ionizes atoms in the trap because of a near-resonance with the 4s4f 1F3 level. By measuring the dipole trap decay rate as a function of argon-ion laser intensity, we determine the 1F3 photo-ionization cross section at our wavelength to be approximately 230 Mb.

 Remarks
 This small species can be distinguished from most Hipposideros by smaller body size (Table 2) and from H. doriae by presence of vertical septa in the posterior noseleaf. In comparison with species of the bicolor -group known for the Sunda Shelf, the body size and noseleaf shape were closest to those of H. ater, H. cineraceus, and H. dyacorum (Corbet and Hill, 1992; Yasuma et al., 2003; Francis, 2008). The internarial septum is pinkish or grayish purple, and the top half of the ear is rounded, contrasting with the darkish septum and triangular ears of H. dyacorum. The internarial septum is swollen at the base and gradually narrows towards the top, a condition similar to H. ater from Pahang state of Malaysia and different from H. cineraceus from Pahang, in which the internarial septum is swollen at the middle (Kingston et al., 2006) and H. dyacorum from Malaysia which is very narrow (Murray et al., 2012). Khan’s (2013) molecular analysis included one sample from Way Canguk Forest and found it to be genetically identical to the Java population of H. ater (as H. a. saevus -1 by the author). In our study area, it is smaller than H. bicolor (see species account below) but bigger than H. doriae, and can be distinguished from H. cervinus by absence of lateral leaflets on the muzzle and smaller body size.

Biochemical analysis of the host factor activity of ZCCHC14 in hepatitis A virus replication
Creators: name: Lemon, Stanley M.

description: Relatively little is known of the mechanisms underlying hepatitis A virus (HAV) genome replication. Unlike other well-studied picornaviruses, HAV RNA replication requires the zinc finger protein ZCCHC14 and non-canonical TENT4 poly(A) polymerases with which it forms a complex. The ZCCHC14-TENT4 complex binds to a stem-loop located within the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) in the 5' untranslated RNA (5'UTR) and is essential for viral RNA synthesis, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. Here, we describe how different ZCCHC14 domains contribute to its RNA-binding, TENT4-binding, and HAV host factor activities. We show that the RNA-binding activity of ZCCHC14 requires both a sterile alpha motif (SAM) and a downstream unstructured domain (D4) and that ZCCHC14 contains two TENT4-binding sites: one at the N-terminus and the other around D4. Both RNA-binding and TENT4-binding are required for HAV host factor activity of ZCCHC14. We also demonstrate that the location of the ZCCHC14-binding site within the 5'UTR is critical for its function. Our study provides a novel insight into the function of ZCCHC14 and helps elucidate the mechanism of the ZCCHC14-TENT4 complex in HAV replication.IMPORTANCEThe zinc finger protein ZCCHC14 is an essential host factor for both hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV). It recruits the non-canonical TENT4 poly(A) polymerases to viral RNAs and most likely also a subset of cellular mRNAs. Little is known about the details of these interactions. We show here the functional domains of ZCCHC14 that are involved in binding to HAV RNA and interactions with TENT4 and describe previously unrecognized peptide sequences that are critical for the HAV host factor activity of ZCCHC14. Our study advances the understanding of the ZCCHC14-TENT4 complex and how it functions in regulating viral and cellular RNAs.

description: Fused-ring electronic acceptors (FREAs) have transformed the field of organic solar cells. However, the prevailing syntheses of FREAs suffer from low yield, difficulty in separation, and high cost. Here, we report new and streamlined syntheses with three distinctive key steps. First, a universal approach to fuse neighboring aromatic units via a single carbon atom is demonstrated with ytterbium triflate and boron trifluoride as the catalysts. This approach allows the incorporation of diverse side-chain combinations. Second, nitrogen atom fusing neighboring aromatics is realized by using oxo-molybdenum catalyst, featuring lower reaction temperatures and enhanced yields. Third, an organic catalyst, proline, is identified to catalyze the aldol condensation with high yield to afford the most typical FREAs having acceptor-donor-acceptor (ADA) configurations. Our new chemistries enable easy syntheses of a wide range of FREAs, substantially expanding the scope and availability of these coveted materials at reduced synthetic cost, particularly for organic electronics.
