description: The effects of the $Σ_c\bar{D}^*$-$Λ_{c}(2595)\bar{D}$ coupled-channel dynamics and various one-boson-exchange (OBE) forces for the LHCb pentaquark states, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$, are reinvestigated. Both the pion and $ρ$-meson exchanges are considered for the $Σ_c\bar{D}^*$-$Λ_{c}(2595)\bar{D}$ coupled-channel dynamics. It is found that the role of the $Λ_{c}(2595)\bar{D}$ channel in the descriptions of the $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ states is not significant with the OBE parameters constrained by other experimental sources. The naive OBE models with the short-distance $δ(\vec{r})$ term of the one-pion exchange (OPE) keep failing to reproduce the $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ states simultaneously. The OPE potential with the full $δ(\vec{r})$ term results in a too large mass splitting for the $J^P=1/2^-$ and $3/2^-$ $Σ_c\bar{D}^*$ bound states with total isospin $I=1/2$. The OBE model with only the OPE $δ(\vec{r})$ term dropped may fit the splitting much better but somewhat underestimates the splitting. Since the $δ(\vec r)$ potential is from short-distance physics, which also contains contributions from the exchange of mesons heavier than those considered explicitly, we vary the strength of the $δ(\vec r)$ potential and find that the masses of the $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$, and $P_c(4457)$ can be reproduced simultaneously with the $δ(\vec r)$ term in the OBE model reduced by about 80\%. While two different spin assignments are possible to produce their masses, in the preferred description, the spin parities of the $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ are $3/2^-$ and $1/2^-$, respectively.

description: The shape of the primordial matter power spectrum Plin(k) encodes critical information on cosmological parameters. At large scales, the observable galaxy power spectrum Pobs(k) is expected to follow the shape of Plin(k), but on smaller scales the effects of nonlinearity and galaxy bias make the ratio Pobs(k)/Plin(k) scale-dependent. We develop a method that can extend the dynamic range of the Plin(k) recovery by incorporating constraints on the galaxy halo occupation distribution (HOD) from the projected galaxy correlation function wp. We devise an analytic model to calculate Pobs(k) in real-space and redshift-space. Once HOD parameters are determined by matching wp for a given cosmological model, galaxy bias is completely specified, and our analytic model predicts both the shape and normalization of Pobs(k). Applying our method to SDSS main galaxy samples, we find that the real-space Pobs(k) follows the shape of the nonlinear matter power spectrum at the 1-2% level up to k=0.2 h/Mpc. When we apply our method to SDSS LRG samples, the linear bias approximation is accurate to 5% at k<0.08 h/Mpc, but the scale-dependence of LRG bias prevents the use of linear theory at k>0.08 h/Mpc. Our HOD model prediction is in good agreement with the recent SDSS LRG Pobs(k) measurements at all measured scales (k<0.2 h/Mpc), naturally explaining the shape of Pobs(k). The "Q-model" prescription is a poor description of galaxy bias for the LRG samples, and it can lead to biased cosmological parameter estimates when measurements at k>0.1 h/Mpc are included in the analysis. We quantify the potential bias and constraints on cosmological parameters that arise from applying linear theory and Q-model fitting, and we demonstrate the utility of HOD modeling of future high precision measurements of Pobs(k) on quasi-linear scales.

description: Scale invariance may be a classical symmetry which is broken radiatively. This provides a simple way to stabilize the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking against radiative corrections. The simplest phenomenologically successful model of this type involves the addition of one real scalar field to the standard model. In this minimal model the electroweak Higgs can be interpreted as the pseudo-Goldstone boson of broken scale invariance. We study the possible origin of neutrino mass in such models, both at tree-level and radiatively.

description: The recent development of electric and electronic devices has been remarkable. The miniaturization of electronic devices and high integration are progressing by advances in mounting technology. As a result, the reliability of fatigue life has been prioritized as an important concern, since the thermal expansion difference between a package and printed circuit board causes thermal fatigue. It is demanded a long-life product which has short development time. However, it is difficult because of interaction between each design factor. The authors have investigated the influence of various design factors on the reliability of soldered joints in BGA model by using response surface method and cluster analysis. By using these techniques, the interaction of all design factors was clarified. Based upon the analytical results, design engineers can rate each factor's effect on reliability and assess the reliability of their basic design plan at the concept design stage.

description: The motion of an optically trapped sphere constrained by the vicinity of a wall is investigated at times where hydrodynamic memory is significant. First, we quantify, in bulk, the influence of confinement arising from the trapping potential on the sphere's velocity autocorrelation function $C(t)$. Next, we study the splitting of $C(t)$ into $C_\parallel(t)$ and $C_\perp(t)$, when the sphere is approached towards a surface. Thereby, we monitor the crossover from a slow $t^{-3/2}$ long-time tail, away from the wall, to a faster $t^{-5/2}$ decay, due to the subtle interplay between hydrodynamic backflow and wall effects. Finally, we discuss the resulting asymmetric time-dependent diffusion coefficients.

description: This 2014 article presents a context for wider discussions around researcher-participant and 'embedded research', through critical reflection on the production of a series of drawings created during
the devising process for Ridiculumus’ Total Football (2012).
Through a number of original diagrams, the discussion suggests that crude schema such as these could expand on dance notation practices for use in documenting the devising stages of contemporary performance.
Ridiculusmus' production, a narrative of a non-sporty bureaucrat tasked
with harnessing the enthusiasm of football fans in the interests of
national cohesion, examines the impossibility of thorough incorporation
of a national body within the Olympic mo(ve)ment.
Based on an existing convention among football commentators for
contextualizing and narrating team play, a series of photographs of
sketches-in-process discussed here capture the marks of live notation as
 an urgent activity during devising. As such the reader has access to a
snapshot from Ridiculusmus’ rehearsal methods and process. The paper
analyses the notation devices employed in the sketches arguing that the
approximate qualities of sketched notation, and its failed totality,
capture the tone of comedy in this work about masculine hubris. While
the sketches attempt to keep pace with the spontaneity of tactics
devised by performers, the paper argues that performance systems and
dance notation that have paid attention to architecture and spatial
arrangement as a score do not generally notate intention or strategy.
The paper presents the idea that the sketches document a multiplicity of
 tactics, and footballing metaphor in process.
The notation can be understood both as documentation of movement and a
contribution to a theatrical and scenographic discourse that is
concerned with more than a simple ‘blocking.’ The paper discusses the
origins of ‘self-blocking’ in this production, its relation to a priori
analysis of character and to unpredictable elements of game-playing in a
 piece about football.

The paper discusses the way in which Ridiculumus tackle the inherent
rigidity of the British class system through a metaphorical critique of
the ‘4 4 2’ team formation in football. With its wasteful habit of long
ball passes, the formation has proven vulnerable against continental
versatility, just as a bureaucratic class that resists meritocracy will
not withstand more imaginative social structures elsewhere in the world.

description: An exhaustive classification of certain class of static solutions for the five-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory in vacuum is presented. The class of metrics under consideration is such that the spacelike section is a warped product of the real line with a nontrivial base manifold. It is shown that for generic values of the coupling constants the base manifold must be necessarily of constant curvature, and the solution reduces to the topological extension of the Boulware-Deser metric. It is also shown that the base manifold admits a wider class of geometries for the special case when the Gauss-Bonnet coupling is properly tuned in terms of the cosmological and Newton constants. This freedom in the metric at the boundary, which determines the base manifold, allows the existence of three main branches of geometries in the bulk. For negative cosmological constant, if the boundary metric is such that the base manifold is arbitrary, but fixed, the solution describes black holes whose horizon geometry inherits the metric of the base manifold. If the base manifold possesses a negative constant Ricci scalar, two different kinds of wormholes in vacuum are obtained. For base manifolds with vanishing Ricci scalar, a different class of solutions appears resembling "spacetime horns". There is also a special case for which, if the base manifold is of constant curvature, due to certain class of degeneration of the field equations, the metric admits an arbitrary redshift function. For wormholes and spacetime horns, there are regions for which the gravitational and centrifugal forces point towards the same direction. All these solutions have finite Euclidean action, which reduces to the free energy in the case of black holes, and vanishes in the other cases. Their mass is also obtained from a surface integral.

description: We review the existing proposals to detect relic neutrinos using the coherent scattering of a neutrino wind on a test mass. By considering the transformation of the neutrino momentum between reference frames, we demonstrate that the induced acceleration scales with the square of the neutrino mass for unclustered neutrinos, contrary to the existing literature. In addition, we show that there is a large contribution to this effect from coherent neutrino-electron scattering, which can exceed the neutrino-nucleus component by nearly an order of magnitude. Unfortunately, we find that even with this enhancement there are no existing experiments or proposals capable of detecting relic neutrinos using this method.

description: This thesis includes three papers investigating different dimensions of consumer behavior in Switzerland within the fields of urban and health economics: eating patterns within families across generations, consumer mobility and grocery market access within cities, and shopping trips across national borders. Chapter One, titled The Apple Does Not Fall Far From the Tree: Intergenerational Persistence of Dietary Habits, studies the intergenerational persistence of healthy eating patterns. Chapter Two, titled Cross-Border Shopping: Evidence from Household Transaction Records, analyzes the consumers’ response to the COVID-19-induced national border closure in Switzerland. Chapter Three, titled Spatial Frictions in Retail Consumption, exploits supermarket openings to estimate distance decay functions and incorporates them into a simple framework of spatial shopping. Addressing these topics contributes to (i) the design of effective public health interventions and (ii) land-use restrictions and urban planning that account for the complexities of spatial consumer behavior.

This group is established here for the single Nearctic species, A. vittipennis (Walker, 1857). It can be diagnosed by (1) the reduced silvery spots between the frontal triangle and posterior part of the orbits, (2) the lack of ac microsetae, (3) the brown longitudinal wing pattern, (4) the pregonite projecting ventrally and with a single group of setae, (5) the basal membrane with a group of dense digitiform excrescences, (6) the dark, strongly sclerotized connecting sclerite and (7) the mushroom-shaped spermathecae. Following the phylogenetic hypothesis of ROHÁĆEK & TÓTHOVÁ 2014 (as Ischnomyia spinosa) and morphological analysis of mainly male genitalic and female postabdominal characters, the group represents a separate clade of Arganthomyza (for more detail see discussion below).

Braess Paradox in a quantum network

description: Dietrich Braess while working on traffic modelling, noticed that traffic flow in a network can be worsened by adding extra edges to an existing network. This seemingly counterintuitive phenomenon is known as the Braess paradox. We consider a quantum network, where edges represent shared entangled states between spatially separated parties(nodes). The goal is to entangle two previously uncorrelated nodes using entanglement swappings. The amount of entanglement between the distant nodes is quantified by the average concurrence of the states established, as a result of the entanglement swappings. We then introduce an additional edge of maximally entangled Bell states in the network. We show that the introduction of the additional maximally entangled states to this network leads to lower concurrence between the two previously un-correlated nodes. Thus we demonstrate the occurrence of a phenomenon in a quantum network that is analogous to the Braess' paradox in traffic networks.

description: Biotechnology is an important and broad science or group of sciences that has been successfully applied in many fields for the betterment of human life, including cell biology, environmental sciences, animal science, food science, medicine, and pharmacy. Modern Biotechnology has been successfully used in developed countries to enhance animal production and productivity and has resulted in increasing the quantity and quality of animal products. Biotechnology provides cutting-edge experiences that depend on the best scientific practices, innovative research, and applied technology. An increase in the world population and demand for animal products necessitates that developing countries must implement and adopt more modern biotechnological means in addition to effective traditional methods to improve the quality of available fibrous livestock feeds and the nutritional status and productivity of ruminants. Currently, the use of biotechnology in developing countries is limited to animal breeding, health care, and the conservation of animal feeds and products. Increased use of biotechnological methods via manipulations of rumen fermentation, recombinant DNA, removal of toxic compounds in feeds, use of exogenous enzymes etc. coupled with use of appropriate traditional methods will improve the quality of fibrous-animal feeds and the productivity of ruminants in developing countries.

title: Probing the reactivity of α,β-unsaturated acyl ammonium intermediates in organocatalysis
Creators: name: Wu, Jiufeng
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2020

description: The research described in this thesis focuses on probing the reactivity of α,β-unsaturated acyl ammonium intermediates and the use of theses reactive intermediates in a new concept: aryloxide-facilitated catalyst turnover in α,β-unsaturated acyl ammonium catalysis. Chapter 2: Initially, the concept of aryloxide-facilitated catalyst turnover was used in a novel isothiourea-catalysed transfer hydrogenation reaction of α,β-unsaturated p-nitrophenyl esters. An efficient synthetic procedure was successfully developed, which was demonstrated to be applicable to a range of α,β-unsaturated PNP esters (15 examples, 38−98% yield), typically with electron withdrawing β-substituents proving most reactive. Attempts to perform the reaction enantioselectively showed that in principle α,β-unsaturated acyl ammonium intermediates generated from α,β-unsaturated PNP esters and a chiral isothiourea catalyst can react enantioselectively. Chapter 3: Following on the established new concept in α,β-unsaturated acyl ammonium catalysis, enantioselective Michael addition of nucleophiles to α,β-unsaturated PNP esters has been further explored using the aryloxide-facilitated catalyst turnover strategy. This new method was applicable for a range of malonates and malonate derivatives as pro-nucleophiles, resulting in generally good yields with excellent enantioselectivities (14 examples, up to 86% yield, > 99:1 er). This work demonstrated for the first time that simple nucleophiles could be applied in stoichiometric quantities in enantioselective a,b-unsaturated acyl ammonium catalysis. Chapter 4: A detailed variable time normalisation kinetic analysis (VTNKA) was performed to investigate the kinetics of the enantioselective Michael addition of malonates to α,β-unsaturated PNP esters, using 19F{1H} NMR spectroscopic analysis. The order with respect to α,β-unsaturated ester, malonate and catalyst were found to be first order, but zero order with respect to base, indicating the turnover-limiting step is likely to be the Michael addition of malonate to the α,β-unsaturated acyl ammonium intermediate.

Cada obra apresenta abordagens e experiências específicas e a nossa hipótese é que essa diferença produz a possibilidade de haver uma maior imersão no jogo, seja por poder controlar os protagonistas ou pelo mesmo não contar com um limite de duração pré-estabelecido da experiência. Para além da influência que cada meio passou a exercer mutuamente, a pergunta no título é uma provocação. Ancorados na relação entre experiência e narrativa, segundo contribuições de Paul Ricoeur, e nas reflexões sobre enredos multiformes de Janet Murray, a intenção é destacar a ideia de que materialidades distintas produzem narrativas diferentes.

The impact of consumer information on brand sales : a field experiment with point-of purchase nutritional information loan
Creators: name: Muller, Thomas Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The issue of requiring marketers to disclose objective product performance information to their customers has presented a problem to both policymakers and researchers. A major concern is that the potential usefulness of such information will be negated if consumers, trying to evaluate alternative products at the points of sale, are hindered by large amounts of such comparative data. Decision-making experiments in cognitive psychology indicate that, because of the capacity limitations of short-term memory, people provided with high input rates of information can experience "information overload," which reduces the quality of their decisions. However, consumer research performed, to date, in the laboratory has failed to resolve whether consumers in a naturalistic brand-choice making situation would also experience "information overload," if confronted with large amounts of product data on which to base their choices. A field experiment was performed to extend the findings of this laboratory research stream and to help resolve the controversy regarding consumer "information overload." A second objective of this experiment was to contribute to policy-oriented research on information-provision formats. The study examined the behavioural effects of displaying objective product performance cues at the point of purchase, easily accessible to consumers and organized in a format allowing direct comparisons of alternative brands. An input-output experimental design used point-of-sale signs to provide different amounts (loads) of nutritional information on the brands of several food products in two co-operating supermarkets. The outputs, or information effects, were measured by collecting brand-sales data via electronic checkout facilities to determine whether the information treatments were having the hypothesized effects on the shape of the brand-sales distribution. The findings do not appear to support the "information overload" hypothesis. In fact, information load did not emerge as an explanatory variable. With certain products, there is evidence that providing nutritional information, in an organized format at the point of sale, will lead to brand choices being made on the basis of such data. Also, the overall response to this data was significantly weaker in the second of two weeks during which they were made available to shoppers.

description: The central dark-matter fraction of galaxies is sensitive to feedback processes during galaxy formation. Strong gravitational lensing has been effective in the precise measurement of the dark-matter fraction inside massive early-type galaxies. Here, we compare the projected dark-matter fraction of early-type galaxies inferred from the SLACS strong-lens survey, with those obtained from the EAGLE, Illustris, and IllustrisTNG hydro-dynamical simulations. Previous comparisons with some simulations revealed a large discrepancy, with considerably higher inferred dark-matter fractions -- by factors 2-3 -- inside half of the effective radius in observed strong-lens galaxies as compared to simulated galaxies. Here, we report good agreement between EAGLE and SLACS for the dark-matter fractions inside both half of the effective radius and the effective radius as a function of the galaxy's stellar mass, effective radius, and total mass-density slope. However, for IllustrisTNG and Illustris, the dark-matter fractions are lower than observed. This work consistently assumes a Chabrier IMF, which suggests that a different IMF (although not excluded) is not necessary to resolve this mismatch. The differences in the stellar feedback model between EAGLE and Illustris and IllustrisTNG, are likely the dominant cause of the difference in their dark-matter fraction, and density slope.

description: Balmer-dominated shells in supernova remnants (SNRs) are produced by collisionless shocks advancing into a partially neutral medium, and are most frequently associated with Type Ia supernovae. We have analyzed Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images and VLT/MUSE or AAT/WiFeS observations of five Type Ia SNRs containing Balmer-dominated shells in the LMC: 0509-67.5, 0519-69.0, N103B, DEM L71, and 0548-70.4. Contrary to expectations, we find bright forbidden line emission from small dense knots embedded in four of these SNRs. The electron densities in some knots are higher than 10$^4$ cm$^{-3}$. The size and density of these knots are not characteristic for interstellar medium (ISM) -- they most likely originate from a circumstellar medium (CSM) ejected by the SN progenitor. Physical property variations of dense knots in the SNRs appear to reflect an evolutionary effect. The recombination timescales for high densities are short, and HST images of N103B taken 3.5 yr apart already show brightness changes in some knots. VLT/MUSE observations detect [Fe XIV] line emission from reverse shocks into SN ejecta as well as forward shocks into the dense knots. Faint [O III] line emission is also detected from the Balmer shell in 0519-69.0, N103B, and DEM L71. We exclude the postshock origin because the [O III] line is narrow. For the preshock origin, we considered three possibilities: photoionization precursor, cosmic ray precursor, and neutral precursor. We conclude that the [O III] emission arises from oxygen that has been photoionized by [He II] $λ$304 photons and is then collisionally excited in a shock precursor heated mainly by cosmic rays.

Bound on Induced Gravitational Waves during Inflation Era

description: We put the upper bound on the gravitational waves (GWs) induced by the scalar-field fluctuations during the inflation. In particular, we focus on the case where the scalar fluctuations get amplified within some subhorizon scales by some mechanism during the inflation. Since the energy conservation law leads to the upper bound on the energy density of the scalar fluctuations, the amplitudes of the scalar fluctuations are constrained and therefore the induced GWs are also. Taking into account this, we derive the upper bound on the induced GWs. As a result, we find that the GW power spectrum must be $\mathcal P_h \lesssim \mathcal O(ε^2 (k/k_*)^2)$ up to the logarithmic factor, where $ε$ is the slow-roll parameter and $k_*$ is the peak scale of the scalar-field fluctuations.

description: We study the effect of infinitesimal onsite disorder on d-dimensional all bands flat lattices. The lattices are generated from diagonal Hamiltonians by a sequence of (d + 1) local unitary transformations parametrized by angles $θ_i$. Without loss of generality, we consider the case of two flat bands separated by a finite gap $Δ$. The perturbed states originating from the flat bands are described by an effective tight binding network with finite on- and off-diagonal disorder strength which depends on the manifold angles $θ_i$. The original infinitesimal onsite disorder strength W is only affecting the overall scale of the effective Hamiltonian. Upon variation of the manifold angles for d = 1 and d = 2 we find that localization persists for any choice of local unitaries, and the localization length can be maximized for specific values of $θ_i$. Instead, in d = 3 we identify a non-perturbative metal-insulator transition upon varying the all bands flat manifold angles.

—	Can We Have a Conversation: Sexual and Social Grammar in Fantomina

subject: novella
subject: romance

description: This paper engages with Kathleen Lubey’s concept of the “grammar of eroticism” in amatory fiction and develops a theory of em dash usage in Eliza Haywood’s Fantomina (1725). Arguing that Haywood innovates the amatory convention of the em dash in the novella, the em dash is read as a visual cue that signals conversation. By marking conversation with the em dash, Haywood directs the reader to closely examine the conversations that occur. This usage of the amatory convention allows analysis of conversation as reciprocal or non-reciprocal engagement. The well-established metaphor of spoken conversation representing sexual conversation enables the em dash to introduce verbal and sexual speech and depict consent; conspicuously, there is no reciprocating em dash during Fantomina and Beauplaisir’s initial sexual encounter. Engaging with these models of conversation is instructive for the reader, and after exploring failed models of conversation, Haywood presents an ideal model that reveals how to responsibly navigate amatory language.

description: In order to test the basic equations believed to dictate the dynamics of disk galaxies, we present and analyze deep two-dimensional spectral data obtained using the PPAK integral field unit for the early-type spiral systems NGC 2273, NGC 2985, NGC 3898 and NGC 5533. We describe the care needed to obtain and process such data to a point where reliable kinematic measurements can be obtained from these observations, and a new more optimal method for deriving the rotational motion and velocity dispersions in such disk systems. The data from NGC 2273 and NGC 2985 show systematic variations in velocity dispersion with azimuth, as one would expect if the shapes of their velocity ellipsoids are significantly anisotropic, while the hotter disks in NGC 3898 and NGC 5533 appear to have fairly isotropic velocity dispersions. Correcting the rotational motion for asymmetric drift using the derived velocity dispersions reproduces the rotation curves inferred from emission lines reasonably well, implying that this correction is quite robust, and that the use of the asymmetric drift equation is valid. NGC 2985 is sufficiently close to face on for the data, combined with the asymmetric drift equation, to determine all three components of the velocity ellipsoid. The principal axes of this velocity ellipsoid are found to be in the ratio sigma_z:sigma_phi:sigma_R ~ 0.7:0.7:1, which shows unequivocally that this disk distribution function respects a third integral of motion. The ratio is also consistent with the predictions of epicyclic theory, giving some confidence in the application of this approximation to even fairly early-type disk galaxies.

Abelian Zero Modes in Odd Dimensions

description: We show that the Loss-Yau zero modes of the 3d abelian Dirac operator may be interpreted in a simple manner in terms of a stereographic projection from a 4d Dirac operator with a constant field strength of definite helicity. This is an alternative to the conventional viewpoint involving Hopf maps from S^3 to S^2. Furthermore, our construction generalizes in a straightforward way to any odd dimension. The number of zero modes is related to the Chern-Simons number in a nonlinear manner.

description: We present numerical simulations and experimental results of the self-modulation of a long proton bunch in a plasma with linear density gradients along the beam path. Simulation results agree with the experimental results reported in arXiv:2007.14894v2: with negative gradients, the charge of the modulated bunch is lower than with positive gradients. In addition, the bunch modulation frequency varies with gradient. Simulation results show that dephasing of the wakefields with respect to the relativistic protons along the plasma is the main cause for the loss of charge. The study of the modulation frequency reveals details about the evolution of the self-modulation process along the plasma. In particular for negative gradients, the modulation frequency across time-resolved images of the bunch indicates the position along the plasma where protons leave the wakefields. Simulations and experimental results are in excellent agreement.

description: In this article I attempt to analyze the social memories of wives of soldiers in service on April 25th 1974, through the methodology of analysis recommended by Adele Clarke (2005), using data collected in 11 interviews conducted between 2005 and 2008 under a PhD project. As a conceptual framework I adopt the perspective of social memory in the tradition of Halbwachs (1992) and following Marc Augé (2001) and Paul Ricoeur (2004), which emphasizes the social and collective memory and points out the dynamic role it plays in building a meaning to the world. This analysis takes into account the dimensions of work, family, education, politics and social life, social and economic conditions and the expectations and dreams on which the interviewees draw comparisons between 1974 and the present and also produce judgments.

description: The use of the SMEFT Lagrangian to quantify possible Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) effects is standard in LHC and future collider studies. One of the usual assumptions is to truncate the expansion with the dimension-$6$ operators. The numerical impact of the next terms in the series, the dimension-$8$ operators, is unknown in general. We consider a specific BSM model containing a charge-${2 3}$ heavy vector-like quark and compute the operators generated at dimension-$8$. The numerical effects of these operators are studied for the $t\bar{t}h$ process, where they contribute at tree level and we find effects at the ${\cal{O}}(0.5-2\%)$ level for allowed values of the parameters.
