Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Correlations of conserved charges, i.e., the baryon number, electric charge and the strangeness, have been calculated at finite temperature and chemical potential up to the fourth order. The calculations are done in a 2+1 flavor low energy effective theory, where quantum and thermal fluctuations are encoded through the evolution of flow equations within the functional renormalization group approach. Strangeness neutrality and a fixed ratio of the electric charge to the baryon number density are implemented throughout the computation. We find that higher-order correlations carry more sensitive critical dynamics in comparison to the quadratic ones, and a non-monotonic dependence of the fourth-order correlations between the baryon number and strangeness, $-χ^{BS}_{31}/χ^{S}_{2}$ and $χ^{BS}_{22}/χ^{S}_{2}$, on the collision energy is found.

description: An increase in the amount of packaging consumed in the U.S. has put pressure on companies to take responsibility for the entire life-cycle of their product. This study uses discrete choice experiments to assess consumer willingness to pay (WTP) for packaging materials and recyclability of a beverage product. A between subject design was used to analyze the effectiveness of indirect questioning in addressing issues of social desirability bias as well as the effects of information on consumer behavior. Consumer WTP for packaging material was highest for plastic packaging, followed by glass, carton and aluminum. Our empirical analysis reveals that indirect questioning results in WTP values for packaging recyclability that are 60% lower than those from direct questioning. We find that information from a video treatment had a significant and positive effect on consumer preferences and demand for packaging recyclability. Our results suggest that more scrutiny should be placed on studies that do not address social desirability bias when evaluating recycling behavior.

description: Lyme borreliosis, recognized as one of the most important tick-borne diseases worldwide, has been increasing in incidence and spatial extent. Currently, there are few geographic studies about the distribution of Lyme borreliosis risk across China. Here we established a nationwide database that involved Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (B. burgdorferi) detected in humans, vectors, and animals in China. The eco-environmental factors that shaped the spatial pattern of B. burgdorferi were identified by using a two-stage boosted regression tree model and the model-predicted risks were mapped. During 1986−2020, a total of 2,584 human confirmed cases were reported in 25 provinces. Borrelia burgdorferi was detected from 35 tick species with the highest positive rates in Ixodes granulatus, Hyalomma asiaticum, Ixodes persulcatus, and Haemaphysalis concinna ranging 20.1%−24.0%. Thirteen factors including woodland, NDVI, rainfed cropland, and livestock density were determined as important drivers for the probability of B. burgdorferi occurrence based on the stage 1 model. The stage 2 model identified ten factors including temperature seasonality, NDVI, and grasslands that were the main determinants used to distinguish areas at high or low-medium risk of B. burgdorferi, interpreted as potential occurrence areas within the area projected by the stage 1 model. The projected high-risk areas were not only concentrated in high latitude areas, but also were distributed in middle and low latitude areas. These high-resolution evidence-based risk maps of B. burgdorferi was first created in China and can help as a guide to future surveillance and control and help inform disease burden and infection risk estimates.

description: This study assesses the market integration of domestically produced and imported catfish products in the United States. In 2003, the U.S. adopted legislation that established antidumping tariffs for Vietnamese catfish products entering the country. One goal of this analysis is to determine how these tariffs have impacted the relationship between foreign and domestically produced catfish products. Cointegration tests confirm the existence of a long-run price relationship between domestic and imported catfish products, which has persisted despite the legislative change. This finding enables the estimation of vector error correction models to describe this price relationship in the periods before and after import tariffs went into effect. Results from these models suggest that Vietnamese catfish fillet prices do not significantly influence or react to domestic catfish prices. However, the price of catfish fillets imported from countries other than Vietnam has continued to respond to domestic prices, and to influence the prices received by domestic catfish farmers and processors.

description: We have detected a strong periodicity of 1.80+/-0.05 hours in photometric observations of the brown dwarf Kelu-1. The peak-to-peak amplitude of the variation is ~1.1% (11.9+/-0.8 mmag) in a 41nm wide filter centred on 857nm and including the dust/temperature sensitive TiO & CrH bands. We have identified two plausible causes of variability: surface features rotating into- and out-of-view and so modulating the light curve at the rotation period; or, elliposidal variability caused by an orbiting companion. In the first scenario, we combine the observed vsin(i) of Kelu-1 and standard model radius to determine that the axis of rotation is inclined at 65+/-12 degrees to the line of sight.

Mapping Phonon Modes from Reduced-Dimensional to Bulk Systems

description: An algorithm for mapping the true phonon modes of a film, which are defined by a two-dimensional (2D) Brillouin zone, to the modes of the corresponding bulk material, which are defined by a three-dimensional (3D) Brillouin zone, is proposed. The algorithm is based on normal mode decomposition and is inspired by the observation that the atomic motions generated by the 2D eigenvectors lead to standing-wave-like behaviors in the cross-plane direction. It is applied to films between two and ten unit cells thick built from Lennard-Jones (LJ) argon, whose bulk is isotropic, and graphene, whose bulk (graphite) is anisotropic. For LJ argon, the density of states deviates from that of the bulk as the film gets thinner due to phonon frequencies that shift to lower values. This shift is a result of transverse branch splitting due to the film's anisotropy and the emergence of a quadratic acoustic branch. As such, while the mapping algorithm works well for the thicker LJ argon films, it does not perform as well for the thinner films as there is a weaker correspondence between the 2D and 3D modes. For graphene, the density of states of even the thinnest films closely matches that of graphite due to the inherent anisotropy, except for a small shift at low frequency. As a result, the mapping algorithm works well for all thicknesses of the graphene films, indicating a strong correspondence between the 2D and 3D modes.

description: Aims: As the number of cancer patients increases in Japan, and people are living longer with cancer, the need for caregivers of cancer patients is expected to increase substantially. This study intended to reveal the humanistic and economic burden among caregivers of cancer patients, and to compare it with the burden among caregivers of patients with other conditions (other caregivers) and non-caregivers. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional analysis used data from the Japan National Health and Wellness Survey 2017. Outcome measures included the Short Form 12-item Health Survey for health-related quality of life (HRQoL), EuroQol 5-dimension scale (EQ-5D) for health states utilities, Work Productivity and Activity Impairment questionnaire for the impact of health on productivity and activity, and indirect costs. Multivariate analysis was used to compare across groups, with adjustment for potential confounding effects. Results: A total of 251 caregivers of cancer patients, 1,543 other caregivers, and 27,300 non-caregivers were identified. Caregivers of cancer patients (average 48.0 years old) tended to be younger than non-caregivers (51.5) and other caregivers (54.4) and had the highest education level (57.8% completed university education). Fewer non-caregivers had stress-related comorbidities than caregivers. Non-caregivers had significantly higher EQ-5D index scores than caregivers (average 0.81 vs. 0.73 vs. 0.74). Caregivers of cancer patients had significantly lower mental component summary scores than non-caregivers (40.18 vs. 46.70), and the difference indicated a clinically meaningful decrease in HRQoL. Caregivers of cancer patients had significantly higher presenteeism (37.31% vs. 20.43%), total work productivity impairment (38.85% vs. 21.98%), and activity impairment (40.94% vs. 25.78%) than non-caregivers. Additionally, caregivers of cancer patients had significantly higher total indirect costs (36.34% vs. 20.03% of average annual income). Conclusions: These results have implications for future healthcare planning, suggesting the importance of healthcare systems in Japan to consider the substantial burden borne by caregivers of cancer patients.

description: Live-streamed group exercise programmes are used increasingly to start or maintain physical activity behaviours. However, participants’ performance and long-term engagement can be impacted in live-streamed programmes due to communication gaps with the instructors and peers. We analysed verbal and nonverbal communication differences between in-person and live-streamed group yoga classes to understand current challenges in live-streamed exercise programmes. A total of 29 group yoga class videos (14 live-streamed and 15 in-person) were annotated and analysed for verbal and nonverbal communication events. We found significantly reduced individual feedback in live-streamed vs. in-person sessions, while the trend was reversed for physical pose demonstrations. Environmental incidents hindered fluent communication in live-streamed sessions. The study identified interaction gaps in live-streamed group physical training in both verbal and nonverbal communication, especially in relation to providing personalised feedback for performance improvement. Potential ways to improve instructor-participant interactions in future designs for remote exercise platforms are discussed. Fitness programmes are shifting towards remote exercise platforms, like live-streamed sessions and promoting at-home workouts. However, these platforms currently lack group learning support, posing challenges for instructors and participants. This study investigates issues with current video conferencing platforms for physical training, offering insights for future design improvements.

description: We propose a new outline for adaptive dictionary learning methods for sparse encoding based on a hierarchical clustering of the training data. Through recursive application of a clustering method, the data is organized into a binary partition tree representing a multiscale structure. The dictionary atoms are defined adaptively based on the data clusters in the partition tree. This approach can be interpreted as a generalization of a discrete Haar wavelet transform. Furthermore, any prior knowledge on the wanted structure of the dictionary elements can be simply incorporated. The computational complexity of our proposed algorithm depends on the employed clustering method and on the chosen similarity measure between data points. Thanks to the multiscale properties of the partition tree, our dictionary is structured: when using Orthogonal Matching Pursuit to reconstruct patches from a natural image, dictionary atoms corresponding to nodes being closer to the root node in the tree have a tendency to be used with greater coefficients.

description: Ethnopharmacology studies report the use of Aristolochia (Aristolochiaceae) species as medicinal plants in various parts of the world. However, the acids aristolochic (AAs), secondary metabolites present in all species of Aristolochia, have cytogenotoxic activity and they are a potent carcinogen to rodents and humans. The aim of the current research was to perform to initial screening for the toxicity of Aristolochia labiata and Aristolochia triangularis decoctions through germination and growth rate, flow cytometry, mitotic index and cytogenetics analysis in Allium cepa. The decoctions were prepared from 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 g L-1. Decoctions at concentrations 4 g to 16 g L-1 significantly reduced the germination rate of Allium cepa. Seeds exposed to 32 g L-1 decoctions did not germinate. All decoctions reduced the growth rate of onion seedlings. Decoctions at 4 g L-1 to 16 g L-1 inhibited mitotic index. Highest concentrations of decoctions (8 g L-1 and 16 g L-1 for Aristolochia labiata; 16 g L-1 for Aristolochia triangularis) showed statistically significant increase in frequency of Allium cepa nuclei in the G0/G1 phase. Both decoctions induced the formation of heteropycnotic nuclei. Qualitative phytochemical prospecting of decocts were performed and alkaloids secondary compounds were the largest presence in both species, indicating that the AAs may be related to the observed toxicity. Caution is recommended in the consumption of decoctions from Aristolochia labiata and Aristolochia triangularis stems.

Despite small magnetization in the (Bi,Sb)2Te3 layer, the anomalous Hall conductivity reaches a large value of 0.2e2/h in accord with a ferromagnetic response of the Cr2Ge2Te6. The results show that the exchange coupling between the surface state of the topological insulator and the proximitized Cr2Ge2Te6 layer is effective and strong enough to open the sizable exchange gap in the surface state.

description: The increasing prevalence of smoking among young adult women in China raises concerns about the associated health risks. This study aims to investigate the trajectory of smoking and its influencing factors among Chinese young adult women in order to gain a comprehensive understanding and reduce the prevalence of smoking. Using purposive sampling, one-on-one interviews were conducted with 28 young female smokers aged 20–31 years between May 2022 and September 2022. The findings revealed that the trajectory of smoking among Chinese young adult women is divided into three stages: smoking initiation, maintenance of smoking, and becoming addicted to smoking. Participants were initially attracted to smoking due to factors such as the taste of tobacco, peer influence, stress in interpersonal interactions, and cigarettes marketed for women. As smoking behavior progressed, participants mentioned motivations including relieving negative emotions, experiencing relaxation and pleasure, shaping their personal image, and confronting discrimination and prejudice. Eventually, when they became addicted to smoking, the physical dependence on nicotine and the smoking habit prevented them from stopping. Understanding the influence of these factors on women’s smoking behaviors is crucial for informing tobacco control policies and reducing tobacco use among women.

description: Capsella bursa-pastoris (Brassicaceae) is one of the most successful tetraploid species in the world. It showed high morphological diversity within Egyptian populations. The morphological investigations of herbarium specimens and fresh collected populations grouped them under three distinguished morphotypes (Lobed "L"; Simple "S" and Lobed-Simple "LS") depending mainly on the basal leaves structure. This high degree of phenotypic variation has received our critical attention. Until recently, the previous studies on C. bursa-pastoris attributed its phenotypic variation to environmental factors. But in Egypt, these three morphotypes were traced in mixed populations along with the species geographical range, so the environmental factors have no influence on their distribution or phenotypic variation. Accordingly, our primary concern in this study was to determine the factors controlling this variation. The cytogenetic studies revealed that the three identified morphotypes are three distinct genotypes with three different chromosome numbers: 2n=2x=16 (diploid) for "L"; 2n=3x=24 (triploid) for "S"; 2n=4x=32 (tetraploid) for "LS". The triploid genotype "S" showed rare occurrence among the studied populations and is postulated to be a hybrid newly recorded in Egypt. Karyotyping of the three genotypes showed significant differences in the genome and chromosomes relative lengths. Molecular study using cpSSR technique supported the cytogenetic results and differentiated the three studied genotypes. The retrieved results revealed that the phenotypic diversity within the Egyptian C. bursa-pastoris populations is genetically controlled.

Here we report a demonstration of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle for the most massive, complex and hottest single object so far, the fullerene molecule C70 at a temperature of 900 K. We find a good quantitative agreement with the theoretical expectation: dx * dp = h, where dx is the width of the restricting slit, dp is the momentum transfer required to deflect the fullerene to the first interference minimum and h is Planck's quantum of action.

description: Psidium friedrichsthalianum Ndz es una especie nativa de América Central distribuida desde el sur de México hasta el norte de Colombia. Es un componente frutal común de la dieta costarricense, y es valorado industrialmente por su alto contenido de polifenoles, principalmente proantocianidinas (PAC). Este cultivo no está completamente domesticado y no hay variedades mejoradas producidas a través del fitomejoramiento. El tamaño del genoma o los niveles de ploidía no se han investigado en las poblaciones costarricenses de Psidium friedrichsthalianum . La información sobre el número de cromosomas y el tamaño del genoma es primordial para las estrategias de fitomejoramiento. Por lo tanto, el objetivo principal de nuestro estudio fue determinar el número de cromosomas utilizando meiocitos de polen y el tamaño del genoma mediante citometría de flujo en seis poblaciones de P. friedrichsthalianumen Costa Rica Encontramos x = 11 cromosomas bivalentes en todos los meiocitos analizados, clasificando estas poblaciones como diploides. Todas las poblaciones tenían un contenido promedio de ADN nuclear de 2C = 1.960 ± 0.005 pg. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el contenido de ADN nuclear entre las poblaciones. Concluimos que la consistencia en el número de cromosomas y el tamaño del genoma entre las poblaciones sugiere un origen común entre ellas. Nuestras estimaciones del número de cromosomas y el tamaño del genoma de P. friedrichsthalianum determinados en este estudio serán esenciales para futuros programas de mejoramiento, prácticas de hibridación y desarrollo de QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci).

description: Battery geometry (shape and size) is one of the important parameters which governs the battery capacity and thermal behavior. In the dynamic conditions or during the operation, the performance of batteries become much more complex. Herein, the changes in thermal behavior of lithium-ion battery (LIB)by altering the geometry i.e., length to diameter ratio (l/d), is investigated. The geometries considered are named as large geometry (LG), datum geometry (DG) and small geometry (SG) with the l/d ratio of 5.25, 3.61, and 2.38, respectively. A three-dimensional (3D) multi-partition thermal model is adopted, and the numerical results are validated by the published experimental data. For three different cooling approaches such as radial, both-tab and mixed cooling, the average battery temperature and temperature heterogeneity are thoroughly examined considering the heat transfer coefficients (h) of50 and 100 W/m2K at discharge rates of 1, 2 and 3C. Amongst, the minimum average battery temperature is exhibited by DG, the minimum radial temperature heterogeneity is obtained from LG, and substantial outperformance in terms of faster cooling rate is identified for SG, irrespective of the cooling approach employed

description: Chenopodium quinoa Willd. is rapidly gaining importance worldwide as a superfood. However, structural diversity and asymmetry analyses of chromosomes of different cultivars of the species are largely understudied primarily owing to their small chromosomes. In this paper, karyomorphological investigations were performed on 21 cultivars of C. quinoa with varying seed morphology cultivated widely in the highland regions of the Andes, which is the center of domestication of this species. Somatic chromosome number was found to be 2n= 36 in all cultivars with no occurrence of mixoploidy. Lengths of individual chromosomes varied between 0.63–6.53 μm, with their short arms ranging from 0.25–2.95 μm and long arms between 0.38–3.58 μm. Types of primary constriction ranged from median to sub–terminal. One pair of chromosome in each complement possessed a secondary constriction. Chromosome complements of all cultivars belonged to the asymmetry class 2B with an average asymmetry index value of 3.21±0.61. Values of intra- and inter-chromosomal asymmetry indices were 0.30±0.02 and 0.20±0.02 respectively across all cultivars. The average coefficients of variation of chromosome lengths was 19.77±2.11 and average centromeric index was 16.28±2.12. Arm ratio of the chromosomes varied from 0.34 to 5.76. The mean values of karyotypic asymmetry, symmetry index and karyotype asymmetry index percentage were 17.69±1.53, 147.69±5.54 and 58.71±0.86 respectively. Pearson correlation revealed strong correlation within inter– and intra–chromosomal asymmetry indices. Our analyses uncovered higher chromosomal variation in quinoa than previously found with high inter–varietal similarities among the studied cultivars, revealed from scattered diagrams between asymmetry indices.

description: We analyse notion of independence in the EPR-Bohm framework by using comparative analysis of independence in conventional and frequency probability theories. Such an analysis is important to demonstrate that Bell's inequality was obtained by using totally unjustified assumptions (e.g. the Bell-Clauser-Horne factorability condition). Our frequency analysis also demonstrated that Gill-Weihs-Zeilinger-Zukowski's arguments based on "the experimenter's freedom to choose settings" to support the standard Bell approach are neither justified by the structure of the EPR-Bohm experiment. Finally, our analysis supports the original Einstein's viewpoint that quantum mechanics is simply not complete.

description: Chromosome number and position of rDNA were studied in plants of Sprekelia formosissima (Amaryllidaceae) collected in two populations with different ploidy level (2n=2x=60 and 2n=5x=150). The 5S and 45S rRNA loci were localized and physically mapped using two-color fluorescence in situ hybridization probes. The diploid (2n=2x=60) cytotype showed four loci for the 45S rDNA in two chromosome pairs (11 and 25) in telomeric position. The 5S rDNA was present in six loci of three homologous chromosome pairs (3, 13 and 19) in subtelomeric and telomeric positions. The chromosomes of the pentaploid cytotype (2n=5x=150) showed five loci for the 45S rDNA in telomeric position and five loci for the 5S rDNA in subtelomeric position. The karyotypic formula is 13m + 16sm + 1 st and the karyotype symmetry/asymmetry index is TF % = 34.67, AsK % = 65.32 and Syi % = 54.81, concluding that it is an asymmetric karyotype, bimodal with one distinctively large pair of chromosomes (10.42 µm) and a gradual decrease in the size of the other chromosome pairs, from the longest of 6.84 µm, to the shortest of 2.61 µm.

COMMENT
Excluded from Algeria. According to Ros et al. (2013), this species was erroneously listed by Ros et al. (1999) for Algeria caused by a misinterpretation of the name Hypnum cupressiforme var. uncinatum Boulay, which in fact is a synonym of Hypnum cupressiforme var. cupressiforme and not of Hypnum uncinulatum.

description: We investigate the representation of symmetric polynomials as a sum of squares. Since this task is solved using semidefinite programming tools we explore the geometric, algebraic, and computational implications of the presence of discrete symmetries in semidefinite programs. It is shown that symmetry exploitation allows a significant reduction in both matrix size and number of decision variables. This result is applied to semidefinite programs arising from the computation of sum of squares decompositions for multivariate polynomials. The results, reinterpreted from an invariant-theoretic viewpoint, provide a novel representation of a class of nonnegative symmetric polynomials. The main theorem states that an invariant sum of squares polynomial is a sum of inner products of pairs of matrices, whose entries are invariant polynomials. In these pairs, one of the matrices is computed based on the real irreducible representations of the group, and the other is a sum of squares matrix. The reduction techniques enable the numerical solution of large-scale instances, otherwise computationally infeasible to solve.

description: Programmable logic arrays (PLAs) are traditional digital electronic devices. A PLA is a simple programmable logic device (SPLD) used to implement combinational logic circuits. A PLA has a set of programmable AND gates, which link to a set of programmable OR gates to produce an output. The AND-OR layout of a PLA allows for implementing logic functions that are in a sum-of-products form. PLAs are available in the market in different types. PLAs could be stand alone chips, or parts of bigger processing systems. Stand alone PLAs are available as mask programmable (MPLAs) and field programmable (FPLAs) devices. The attractions of PLAs that brought them to mainstream engineers include their simplicity, relatively small circuit area, predictable propagation delay, and ease of development. The powerful-but-simple property brought PLAs to rapid prototyping, synthesis, design optimization techniques, embedded systems, traditional computer systems, hybrid high-performance computing systems, etc. Indeed, there has been renewable interests in working with the simple AND-to-OR PLAs.
