description: One of the most in-demand and divisive of these new games that allow players to collect tradeable crypto currencies is the Axie Infinity. Non-employed, along with the students, are finding it difficult to find stable employment since this pandemic brought many setbacks to employed and more particularly to unemployed students. This study explores the lived experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms of Axie Infinity Players amidst the pandemic. The study employed the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis with 20 participants. The following conclusions were drawn based on the study's findings: (1 )For the most part, playing Axie Infinity is not as easy as it looks. (2) Most of the Axie Infinity players are students and it takes a lot of their time playing Axie Infinity that most of their time is spent playing instead of resting and studying just to reach their quota for that day. (3)Axie Infinity is both a blessing and stress. The Axie Infinity play-to-earn game is described as a blessing because it became the number one source of income of the participants despite being amid this pandemic. It also became their source of stress because it adds pressure, tension, and strain to their lives as both a player and a student. (4) Axie Infinity players need a strong support system in their psychological, spiritual, emotional, and physical aspects to withstand the situation of lacking sleep and rest, the pressure of the need to reach the quota, slow internet connection, judgments of the people that surround them, and not being able to focus in both playing and studying. (5) Finally, Axie Infinity players value themselves by coping with negative experiences and challenges they have been through.

description: The leading particle effect in charm hadroproduction is an enhancement of the cross section for a charmed hadron D in the forward direction of the beam when the beam hadron has a valence parton in common with the D. The large D+/D- asymmetry observed by the E791 experiment is an example of this phenomenon. We show that the heavy-quark recombination mechanism provides an economical explanation for this effect. In particular, the D+/D- asymmetry can be fit reasonably well using a single parameter whose value is consistent with a recent determination from charm photoproduction.

 Remarks. Because only two paratypes are included in the sample loaned, I had permission to dissect and observe under SEM only one of them. The two specimens were covered in debris. I tried to brush the specimen examined under SEM but unfortunately the images obtained could have been better. The dorsal sculpture of pleonite 5 and pleotelson was not satisfactorily identified. Nevertheless the tegument and especially the margin of the pleotelson were studied in detail. The species cannot be confused with L. tuberculata, although Cookson (1991) pointed out that the two species are very similar. The dorsal tubercles are more prominent and conspicuous in L. tuberculata than in L. tripunctata, which shows tubercles formed by clusters of 4–6 spines. Regarding the morphology of the uropod, Menzies' (1957) drawing (fig. 16C) shows peduncle and endopod with conspicuous tubercles. Surprisingly the specimen examined (paratype ovigerous female) had only some tubercles on the peduncle, while the endopod is smooth. The specimens examined are from California. According to Cookson (1991), the specimens from California and Europe do not present differences in the pereopodal setation.

description: Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 mRNA-binding Protein 1 (IGF2BP1) is a candidate gene of significant interest for modulating economically important traits in livestock and poultry. The second intron of IGF2BP1 has been implicated in growth-related traits, though its precise mechanistic role remains elusive. Initial resequencing analyses in our laboratory indicated strong selective pressures on the IGF2BP1 genomic region, prompting the selection and identification of several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Seven SNPs were mapped to the conserved region of the second intron, necessitating further investigation into their functional relevance and association with growth traits. In this study, 348 Nanjiang Yellow goats were analyzed, and the association analysis via the GLM program in SAS 9.4 identified five SNPs significantly correlated with growth traits. Notably, rs652062749(A > G) emerged as a critical locus influencing later-stage growth traits. Furthermore, strong linkage disequilibrium was observed among three SNPs, with the rs638185407 (T > A) variant markedly enhancing luciferase activity in H293T cells. Combination genotypes TTAACT, TTCCCC, and ATCACT were identified as superior for growth traits, offering theoretical insights for genetic co-breeding. This study underscores the potential utility of IGF2BP1 as a functional genetic marker in Nanjiang Yellow goat breeding programs.

description: A consumer sensory panel study in conjunction with consumers’ willingness to pay experiment for 93% ground bison, 93% ground beef, and 80% ground beef was conducted in Sioux Falls, SD. The average, bid for 93% ground bison was $0.38 per lb. higher than the average bid for 80% ground beef. On an average, bids for 93% ground bison were lower than the bids for 93% ground beef by $0.28 per lb. Providing nutrition information significantly increased panelists’ bids for both 93% ground bison and 93% ground beef. On an average, bids for 93% ground bison, and 93% ground beef, by the panelists with nutrition information were higher as compared to the panelists in the control group by $1.23 and $0.47 per lb., respectively. Highly significant factors impacting the premium for 93% ground bison are the availability of nutrition information, ability to identify bison, and presence of 7-18 years old children in the household. Our analysis demonstrates that informing the potential bison consumers of bison nutrition have potentially a large pay off. The analysis also shows that the 93% ground bison is competing with 93% ground beef, and the factors which impacting 93% ground bison and 93% ground beef are more or less similar.

description: We analyse the Chandra dataset of the galaxy cluster MS1008.1-1224 to recover an estimate of the gravitating mass as function of the radius and compare these results with the weak lensing reconstruction of the mass distribution obtained from deep FORS1-VLT multicolor imaging. Even though the X-ray morphology is disturbed with a significant excess in the northern direction suggesting that the cluster is not in a relaxed state, we are able to match the two mass profiles both in absolute value and in shape within 1 sigma uncertainty and up to 1100 h50^-1 kpc. The recovered X-ray mass estimate does not change by using either the azimuthally averaged gas density and temperature profiles or the results obtained in the northern sector alone where the signal-to-noise ratio is higher.

Neutrino decoherence in a fermion and scalar background

description: We consider the decoherence effects in the propagation of neutrinos in a background composed of a scalar particle and a fermion due to the non-forward neutrino scattering processes. Using a simple model for the coupling of the form $\bar f_Rν_Lϕ$ we calculate the contribution to the imaginary part of the neutrino self-energy arising from the non-forward neutrino scattering processes in such backgrounds, from which the damping terms are determined. In the case we are considering, in which the initial neutrino state is depleted but does not actually disappear (the initial neutrino transitions into a neutrino of a different flavor but does not decay into a $fϕ$ pair, for example), we associate the damping terms with decoherence effects. For this purpose we give a precise prescription to identify the decoherence terms, as used in the context of the master or Linblad equation, in terms of the damping terms we have obtained from the calculation of the imaginary part of the neutrino self-energy from the non-forward neutrino scattering processes. The results can be directly useful in the context of Dark Matter-neutrino interaction models in which the scalar and/or fermion constitute the dark-matter, and can also serve to guide the generalizations to other models and/or situations in which the decoherence effects in the propagation of neutrinos originate from the non-forward scattering processes may be important. As a guide to estimating such decoherence effects, the contributions to the absorptive part of the self-energy and the corresponding damping terms are computed explicitly in the context of the model we consider, for several limiting cases of the momentum distribution functions of the background particles.

description: In the extended thermodynamics of black holes, there is a dynamical pressure and its conjugate volume. The phase structure of many of these black holes has been studied a great deal and shown to give close analogues of the phase structure of various ordinary matter systems. However, we point out that the most studied black holes in this framework, such as Schwarzschild-AdS and Reissner-Nordstrom-AdS, and various analogues in higher-derivative gravity, do not have the type of elementary degrees of freedom that play a central role in the classic models of matter. This is because they have vanishing specific heat at constant volume, C_V. As examples with non-vanishing C_V, the Kerr-AdS and STU-AdS black holes do have such degrees of freedom, and a study of C_V(T) reveals Schottky-like behaviour suggestive of a finite window of energy excitations. This intriguing physics may have useful applications in fields such as holographic duality, quantum information, and beyond.

description: BABAR, the detector for the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric e+e- B Factory operating at the upsilon 4S resonance, was designed to allow comprehensive studies of CP-violation in B-meson decays. Charged particle tracks are measured in a multi-layer silicon vertex tracker surrounded by a cylindrical wire drift chamber. Electromagentic showers from electrons and photons are detected in an array of CsI crystals located just inside the solenoidal coil of a superconducting magnet. Muons and neutral hadrons are identified by arrays of resistive plate chambers inserted into gaps in the steel flux return of the magnet. Charged hadrons are identified by dE/dx measurements in the tracking detectors and in a ring-imaging Cherenkov detector surrounding the drift chamber. The trigger, data acquisition and data-monitoring systems, VME- and network-based, are controlled by custom-designed online software. Details of the layout and performance of the detector components and their associated electronics and software are presented.

description: The study examines the impact of Integrated Reporting (IR) on firm value, and it explores the moderating role of CEO integrity (CEOI) in this relationship for companies listed on GCC stock exchanges. The sample consists of 177 listed firms from six GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait) that published integrated reports from 2017–18 to 2022–23 in Arabic and English. Using secondary data from the firms’ websites, the research applies the system GMM model and dynamic fixed-effect robust standard error model to analyze the data. The findings reveal that IR positively influences firm value. Furthermore, CEO integrity moderates the relationship between IR and firm value, amplifying the positive effects of IR when CEOs demonstrate ethical leadership. The study’s implications suggest that firms should adopt IR practices and ensure CEO integrity to boost firm value. Supervisory boards must oversee both IR practices and CEO performance to maintain transparency, safeguard the firm’s reputation, and drive sustainable value creation.

description: Motivated by marathon course design, this article introduces a novel tour-finding problem, the Lock-Free Tour Problem (LFTP), which ensures that the resulting tour does not block access to certain critical vertices. The LFTP is formulated as a mixed-integer linear program. Structurally, the LFTP yields excessive subtour formation, causing the standard branch-and-cut approach to perform poorly, even with valid inequalities derived from locking properties of the LFTP. For this reason, we introduce path-based reformulations arising from a provably stronger disjunctive program, where disjunctions are obtained by fixing the visit orders in which must-visit edges are visited. In computational tests, the reformulations are shown to yield up to 100 times improvement in solution times. Additional tests demonstrate the value of reformulations for more general tour-finding problems with visit requirements and length restrictions. Finally, practical insights from the Bank of America Chicago Marathon are presented. Supplementary materials are available for this article. We refer the reader to the publisher’s online edition for additional experiments.

description: The timescales of many physical, chemical, and biological processes are determined by first passage times (FPTs) of diffusion. The overwhelming majority of FPT research studies the time it takes a single diffusive searcher to find a target. However, the more relevant quantity in many systems is the time it takes the fastest searcher to find a target from a large group of searchers. This fastest FPT depends on extremely rare events and has a drastically faster timescale than the FPT of a given single searcher. In this work, we prove a simple explicit formula for every moment of the fastest FPT. The formula is remarkably universal, as it holds for $d$-dimensional diffusion processes (i) with general space-dependent diffusivities and force fields, (ii) on Riemannian manifolds, (iii) in the presence of reflecting obstacles, and (iv) with partially absorbing targets. Our results rigorously confirm, generalize, correct, and unify various conjectures and heuristics about the fastest FPT.

description: The predictive power of the outer gap model of high energy emission from pulsars is used to analyze the Parkes Multibeam pulsar survey. We find that most of the radio pulsars of the Parkes catalog are not $γ$-ray emitters according to the outer gap model. The sample of possible new $γ$-ray pulsar detections for AGILE and GLAST is given. That includes thirteen new excellent candidates. Four new positional coincidences between EGRET detections and Parkes pulsars are found, but for which we discard a physical association. The consequences of applying a new electron density model in assigning the pulsar distances are explored. The new model systematically reduce the distances to the pulsars, corrections can be as large as 90%, increasing their fluxes and affecting the detection prospects.

Gluon Shadowing and Heavy Flavor Production off Nuclei

description: Gluon shadowing which is the main source of nuclear effects for production of heavy flavored hadrons, remains unknown. We develop a light-cone dipole approach aiming at simplifying the calculations of nuclear shadowing for heavy flavor production, as well as the cross section which does not need next-to-leading and higher order corrections. A substantial process dependence of gluon shadowing is found at the scale of charm mass manifesting a deviation from QCD factorization. The magnitude of the shadowing effect correlates with the symmetry properties and color state of the produced c-cbar pair. It is about twice as large as in DIS, but smaller than for charmonium production. The higher twist shadowing correction related to a nonzero size of the c-cbar pair is not negligible and steeply rises with energy. We predict an appreciable suppression by shadowing for charm production in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and a stronger effect at LHC. At the same time, we expect no visible difference between nuclear effects for minimal bias and central collisions, as is suggested by recent data from the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. We also demonstrate that at medium high energies when no shadowing is possible, final state interaction may cause a rather strong absorption of heavy flavored hadrons produced at large x_F.

description: Since the end of the Cold War, Italy has radically transformed its foreign and security policy, participating in several Military Operations Abroad (MOA) across the world. A few qualitative studies have already analysed how Italian parties debated and voted on this issue, underlining a bipartisan consensus between centre-left and centre-right parties, based on a common humanitarian narrative. This article provides a substantial methodological contribution to this research agenda, explaining party support in Italy for the six most relevant MOAs during the so-called ‘Second Republic’ (1994–2013), through the employment of automated text analysis and linear regression models. In line with existing literature on the party politics of military interventions, the findings indicate a curvilinear distribution of support across the left–right axis, the strong impact of government–opposition dynamics and the interaction between international legitimacy of the specific operation and ideological leaning.

description: Relying on an extremely rich data set of individuals living in Madrid in 1880 and 1905, this article explores the relationship between class, literacy and social mobility. Focusing on children, we find that the probability of being literate varied significantly according to parents’ socio-economic status. Although this social gap declined during the period under study, it was still substantial in 1905. We also show that, although the expansion of the supply of schools improved the literacy rates of children from disadvantaged backgrounds, the public effort was clearly insufficient to overcome the challenges these families faced. Lastly, matching the children existing in our sample in 1880 with their corresponding adult-selves in 1905, our analysis shows that getting literate enhanced their chances of moving up the social ladder.

description: In a heavy-ion synchrotron the bunched beam can perform longitudinal oscillations around the synchronous particle (single bunch dipole oscillation, SBDO). If disturbances/instabilities exciting the SBDO exceed the rate of Landau damping, the beam can become unstable. Furthermore, Landau damping is accompanied by an increase of the beam emittance which may be undesired. Thus, control efforts are taken to stabilize the beam and to keep the emittance small. It is known that for a single harmonic cavity and a small bunch the SBDO oscillates with the synchrotron frequency if the oscillation amplitudes are small. For a larger bunch or a double harmonic RF systems that introduces nonlinearities, this is no longer valid. This work shows how the frequency of the SBDO can be determined in general. As a result, the SBDO can again be modeled as a harmonic oscillator with an additional damping term to account for Landau damping. This model can be used for feedback designs which is shown by means of a simple example. As the frequency of the SBDO and the damping rate depend on the size of the bunch in phase space, it is shown how this information can be obtained from the measured beam current.

description: Drift tube ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is a technique that measures the mobility coefficient of ions in the presence of an inert drift gas of known composition. This mobility coefficient is a metric related to the ion-neutral cross section that can be used to make inferences about the structure of an ion. IMS was initially used as a standalone detector for chemical warfare agents, explosives, narcotics, and other simple organic vapors. However, the utility of this technique for structural characterization is bolstered by coupling an IMS with a mass spectrometer (MS), where the mass of the ion can also be determined. Although the data from both techniques is complementary, the synchronous operation of the instrumentation itself typically is not, and the relative duty cycles must first be considered. This is especially true for drift tube IMS and ion trap mass spectrometers, where each respective instrument operates at similar timescales and thus makes nesting the data from one domain in the other difficult. Although methods for coupling IMS with ion traps have been developed, the efficiency of these early methods was low with regards to both ion utilization and experimental time. To this end, the development of frequency-based multiplexing methods such as Fourier transform ion mobility-mass spectrometry (FT-IM-MS) has been a necessary innovation in order to achieve efficient IM-MS experiments. Thus far, through FT-IM-MS, increases in signal-to-noise ratios, resolving power, and ion throughput have been achieved. Additionally, experiments that used to take tens of minutes or hours with early IM-MS methods have been reduced to single minutes by implementation of FT-IM-MS.
description: Contained within this dissertation are theoretical considerations and optimizations that aim to increase the performance of frequency modulated IM-MS. Early efforts were focused on synchronization of the IMS and MS in order to increase the precision of frequency assignment in generated ion transients. Following this, novel frequency modulation strategies were developed in order to increase the efficiency of FT-IM-MS. Concluding this dissertation is work where a framework was developed for implementing compressed sensing in ion mobility-mass spectrometry (CS-IM-MS) where full signal reconstructions are possible using randomized and undersampled frequency sweeps. Through CS-IM-MS, experimental timescales are reduced to single seconds while also maintaining the high performance of traditional frequency modulated IM-MS experiments.
title: Comparison of LLRF Control Approaches for High Intensity Hadron Synchrotrons: Design and Performance
Creators: name: Groß, Kerstin

description: A usual and effective way to realize closed-loop controllers is to use cascaded SISO feedback and to rely on some kind of linear PID structure with parameters adjusted manually in simulations or experiments. Such a control may not reach optimal performance if the system is coupled or non-linear. Regarding intense beams, longitudinal beam loading can be compensated by detuning. But the coupling between phase and amplitude (or I and Q component) highly depends on the tuning, that is on the resonant frequency of the cavity. It is derived that cavity and beam dynamics thus show bi-linear nature, i.e. belong to a well investigated class of non-linear systems with appropriate control strategies available. Different controller designs are compared in terms of performance but also design transparency, the need of previous knowledge like the expected magnitude of beam loading and adaptability to different conditions, e.g. during acceleration or if applied to the full range of ion species as at GSI. The performance evaluation is based on macro-particle tracking simulations. In particular avail and limits of an optimal (quadratic cost) MIMO controller for bi-linear systems are shown.

description: We compute the non-abelian couplings in the Chern-Simons action for a set of coinciding fundamental strings in both the type IIA and type IIB Matrix string theories. Starting from Matrix theory in a weakly curved background, we construct the linear couplings of closed string fields to type IIA Matrix strings. Further dualities give a type IIB Matrix string theory and a type IIA theory of Matrix strings with winding.

description: Visual motion is the projection of scene movements on a visual sensor. It is a rich source of information for the analysis of a visual scene. Especially for dynamic vision systems the estimation of visual motion is important because it allows to deduce the motion of objects as well as the self-motion of the system relative to the environment. Therefore, visual motion serves as a basic information for navigation and exploration tasks, like obstacle avoidance, object tracking or visual scene decomposition into static and moving parts.

Taming Convergence in the Determinant Approach for X-Ray Excitation Spectra

description: A determinant formalism in combination with \emph{ab initio} calculations proposed recently has paved a new way for simulating and interpreting x-ray excitation spectra. The new method systematically takes into account many-electron effects in the Mahan-Noziéres-De Dominicis (MND) theory, including core-level excitonic effects, the Fermi-edge singularity, shakeup excitations, and wavefunction overlap effects such as the orthogonality catastrophe, all within a universal framework using many-electron configurations. A heuristic search algorithm was introduced to search for the configurations that are important for defining spectral lineshapes, instead of enumerating them in a brute-force way. The algorithm has proven to be efficient for calculating \ce{O} $K$ edges of transition metal oxides, which converge at the second excitation order (denoted as $f^{(n)}$ with $n = 2$), i.e., the final-state configurations with two \emph{e-h} pairs (with one hole being the core hole). However, it remains unknown how the determinant calculations converge for general cases and at which excitation order $n$ one should stop the determinant calculation. Even with the heuristic algorithm, the number of many-electron configurations still grows exponentially with the excitation order $n$. In this work, we prove two theorems that can indicate the order of magnitude of the contribution of the $f^{(n)}$ configurations, so that one can estimate their contribution very quickly without actually calculating their amplitudes. The two theorems are based on the singular-value decomposition (SVD) analysis, a method that is widely used to quantify entanglement between two quantum many-body systems. We examine the $K$ edges of several metallic systems with the determinant formalism up to $f^{(5)}$ to illustrate the usefulness of the theorems.

description: Structures on very large scales (> 100 Mpc) have negligible peculiar motions, and are thus roughly fixed in comoving space. We looked for significant peaks at very large separation in the two-point correlation function -- corrected for redshift selection effects -- of a well convered subsample of 2378 quasars of the recently released 10k sample of the 2dF quasar survey. Dividing our sample in three redshift intervals, we find a peak at 244/h Mpc, which is perfectly comoving for a restricted set of cosmological parameters, namely Omega_m = 0.25+/-0.15 and Omega_Lambda=0.65+/-0.35 (both at 95% confidence). Assuming a flat Universe, we constrain the quintessence parameter w_Q < -0.35 (95% confidence). We discuss the compatibility of our analysis with possible peaks in the power spectrum.

description: The two standardized assays for testing hygienic behavior in Apis mellifera in the field are the freeze-killed brood (FKB) and the pin-killed brood (PKB) assays. Correlation between the two tests is still in debate. It has been argued that the PKB assay was predictive of Varroa nonreproduction. We measured the agreement between the two methods in two apiaries with 36 and 59 colonies, respectively. The agreement between the two assays was very poor with a 95% limit of agreement greater than 100%. These assays and the SMR (Suppression of Mite Reproduction) trait were also measured in 21 single drone inseminated colonies infested with Varroa and with varying SMR efficacy. A PKB assay result of >46% at 24 h predicted an SMR trait >40% with a sensitivity and a specificity of 0.727 and 0.90, respectively, whereas the FKB assay did not exhibit any predictive value. In conclusion, the PKB and FKB assays are not correlated, but the PKB assay predicted SMR with a good accuracy.
INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS AND ITS IMPACT ON THE EMERGENCE OF FAMILY-BUSINESS ENTERPRISES IN TOURISM IN UZBEKISTAN

description: This study examines the impact of institutional reforms on the growth and development of family businesses in Uzbekistan. The research highlights how the registration processes and improved credit accessibility have facilitated entrepreneurial opportunities, particularly for new and younger family-run enterprises. However, older and more established family businesses have encountered challenges adapting to the new institutional environment. The government's initiatives, such as the "Each Family – an Entrepreneur" program, have further supported the rise of family enterprises by providing financial support and training. The findings emphasize the importance of government policies in fostering a conducive environment for family businesses, while also addressing issues like nepotism and accountability within family-run ventures.
