description: We investigate the question whether leptogenesis, as a mechanism for explaining the baryon asymmetry of the universe, can be tested at future colliders. Focusing on the minimal scenario of two right-handed neutrinos, we identify the allowed parameter space for successful leptogenesis in the heavy neutrino mass range between $5$ and $50$ GeV. Our calculation includes the lepton flavour violating contribution from heavy neutrino oscillations as well as the lepton number violating contribution from Higgs decays to the baryon asymmetry of the universe. We confront this parameter space region with the discovery potential for heavy neutrinos at future lepton colliders, which can be very sensitive in this mass range via displaced vertex searches. Beyond the discovery of heavy neutrinos, we study the precision at which the flavour-dependent active-sterile mixing angles can be measured. The measurement of these mixing angles at future colliders can test whether a minimal type I seesaw mechanism is the origin of the light neutrino masses, and it can be a first step towards probing leptogenesis as the mechanism of baryogenesis. We discuss how a stronger test could be achieved with an additional measurement of the heavy neutrino mass difference.

description: Previous research largely supports the notion that mediated contact and engagement with minority characters can improve viewers’ real-life minority attitudes. However, it is unclear to what extent different forms of media engagement such as parasocial friendship and wishful identification are linked to attitudes, and whether deep-level similarities affect engagement with minority characters. Deep-level similarities refer to viewers’ perception of shared personality traits, attitudes, and social experiences with characters. In a cross-sectional survey, we examine (1) to what extent parasocial friendship and wishful identification with an LGBTQ character are each associated with viewers’ prejudicial attitudes toward the LGBTQ community, and (2) to what extent perceived deep-level similarities of an LGBTQ character are related to viewers’ parasocial friendship and wishful identification felt for the LGBTQ character. Based on a structural equation model using a sample of U.S. residents (n = 247), it may be concluded that the deep-level similarities of LGBTQ characters have both direct and indirect associations with LGTBQ prejudice, mediated by wishful identification.

description: Do personalization algorithms serve up ever more extreme videos to users, resulting in affective and issue polarization? Based in part on vivid anecdotes, a media narrative has taken hold ascribing worrisome power to hidden algorithms. Academic researchers have struggled to add evidence to this debate due to both data limitations and serious research design challenges. We propose a novel experimental approach that seeks to resolve the impasse on this critical question by randomizing the recommendations themselves. Using a custom-built interface that serves sequences of videos from YouTube's API, we create our own variations on the existing recommendation algorithm by manipulating the ideological balance of recommended video content to randomly assigned groups of subjects. This approach enables an attractive combination of experimental control and external validity without the need for reverse-engineering YouTube's blackbox recommendations. Subjects in our study will choose to watch a sequence of short videos and follow recommendations while the interface tracks watch time and other measures of engagement. After the viewing session, participants will be surveyed on issue opinions, affective polarization, and perceptions of media hostility. This pre-analysis plan describes a three-wave study focusing on the issue of gun control.

description: This online experiment (N = 894) of working professionals in Kenya, South Africa, and the UK explored the potential impacts of organizational messaging on implementing anti-sexual harassment policies. After reading a victim focused, penalty focused, or neutral message, participants were tested on the Likelihood to Sexually Harass (LSH), Likelihood to Report (LR), Sexual Harassment Myth Acceptance (SHMA), and Ambivalent Sexism Inventory scales. Results showed the victim- and penalty-focused messages were a negative predictor of hostile sexism but not the remaining measures. The control was a positive predictor of LSH and a negative predictor of LR, indicating any messaging was better than none. Men had higher levels of LSH, SHMA, and hostile sexism, and lower levels of LR. UK participants were a positive predictor of LSH but notably, had lower levels of SHMA and ambivalent sexism. South African participants had higher levels of LR. The results show the need for organizations to increase their messaging on anti-sexual harassment policies as part of a pluralistic approach, while understanding the influence of culture and gender norms across multiple country contexts.

According to Mascarenhas, the LPKSTR type is essentially absent from European R1a1 individuals, abundant in Afghanistan, and quite rare in L657 individuals from South Asia and the Arabian Peninsula. According to this study, the LPK clan migrated to Goa from eastern Persia (Iran) and Afghanistan via a western migration route through the Bolan Pass. [Mascarenhas et al, 2015 : 2] Mascarenhas makes another interesting point in the study : genetic differences between LPK and Curtorim brāmhaṇa are consistent with migration from two different locations through two different routes, Curtorim brāmhaṇa through the Khyber pass.

For any $a \in Γ(\text{End}(V))$, we consider the asymptotics $\text{Tr} (a e^{-tP}) \underset{t \downarrow 0^+}{\sim} \,\sum_{r=0}^\infty a_r(a, P)\,t^{(r-d)/2}$ where the coefficients $a_r(a, P)$ can be written locally as $a_r(a, P)(x) = \text{tr}[a(x) \mathcal{R}_r(x)]$. The computation of $\mathcal{R}_2$ is performed opening the opportunity to calculate the modular scalar curvature for noncommutative tori.

description: Natural products have always been a source of novel drug leads. Since 1981, over 50% prescription drugs are naturally derived or inspired. Secondary metabolites found in plants are of interest with their widely known therapeutic benefits. This study screens four Malaysian plants for their bioactive properties. The methanol extract of Aquilaria malaccensis leaves were discovered to have strong antioxidant properties and considerably better antimicrobial and anticancer activity compared to others. Isolation and purification was carried out in hopes of obtaining purified compounds with potentially improved bioactivity. Compound 22-6-2 was isolated and identified as violanthin based on spectroscopic data.

description: This study investigated the correlation between the individual chemical constituents of particulate matter 2.5 μm (PM2.5) and respiratory parameters as well as the living environment and daily behaviors in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Data were obtained from prospective COPD panel conducted in South Korea. Following collection via a microPEM, 18 metallic elements were determined using energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. All participants completed detailed questionnaires on living environments and lifestyle practices. Eighty-nine stable COPD patients (mean age 68.1 years; 94.4% male) were analyzed. Several constituents (titanium, aluminum, bromine, and silicone) were significantly associated with respiratory outcomes. Copper and manganese concentrations were significantly associated with the living environment. Increased ventilation time and air purifier operation were associated with lower concentrations of copper, silicone, barium, and titanium. These findings suggest varying relationships between PM2.5 constituents and clinical parameters in COPD patients, providing a basis for personalized interventions and future research.

The incident photon and nucleon are longitudinally polarized and one observes a hadron $h$ at high transverse momentum $p_T$. Soft or collinear gluon emissions generate large logarithmic threshold corrections which we resum to next-to-leading logarithmic order. We compare our results with recent spin asymmetry data by the COMPASS collaboration, highlighting the role of the fragmentation functions.

description: We estimate production cross sections for 2-body resonances of the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking sector (in $W_LW_L$ and $Z_LZ_L$ rescattering) from $γγ$ scattering. We employ unitarized Higgs Effective Field Theory amplitudes previously computed coupling the two photon channel to the EWSBS. We work in the Effective Photon Approximation and examine both $e^-e^+$ collisions at energies of order 1-2 TeV (as relevant for future lepton machines) and $pp$ collisions at LHC energies. Dynamically generating a spin-0 resonance around 1.5 TeV (by appropriately choosing the parameters of the effective theory) we find that the differential cross section per unit $s$, $p_t^2$ is of order 0.01 fbarn/TeV$^4$ at the LHC. Injecting a spin-2 resonance around 2 TeV we find an additional factor 100 suppression for $p_t$ up to 200 GeV. The very small cross sections put these $γγ$ processes, though very clean, out of reach of immediate future searches.

description: The practice of exposing honeybees to pesticides by bee-keepers or via agricultural crops, is one of the ways in which honey becomes contaminated with pesticides. Though honey has many health advantages, however, human exposure to pesticides via consumption of honey has generated public health concerns due to their endocrine-disruptive abilities. Thus, this study evaluated human exposure to endocrine-disrupting pesticides in honey from Nigeria to establish the safety of honey consumed in Nigeria. Honey were analyzed for pesticides using a gas chromatograph combined with an electron capture detector. The concentrations of ∑20 OCPs and ∑14 OPPs in the honey ranged from 0.45-1045 ng/g and 1.13-632 ng/g respectively. The values of both individual and cumulative non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks for humans were <1 and 1 × 10−4 respectively suggesting that there are no potential health risks via the honey consumption. The source analysis showed that pesticides in these honey originated from historical and recent/fresh use.

Search for heavy resonances that decay into a vector boson and a Higgs boson in hadronic final states at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A search for heavy resonances with masses above 1 TeV, decaying to final states containing a vector boson and a Higgs boson, is presented. The search considers hadronic decays of the vector boson, and Higgs boson decays to b quarks. The decay products are highly boosted, and each collimated pair of quarks is reconstructed as a single, massive jet. The analysis is performed using a data sample collected in 2016 by the CMS experiment at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 inverse femtobarns. The data are consistent with the background expectation and are used to place limits on the parameters of a theoretical model with a heavy vector triplet. In the benchmark scenario with mass-degenerate W' and Z' bosons decaying predominantly to pairs of standard model bosons, for the first time heavy resonances for masses as high as 3.3 TeV are excluded at 95% confidence level, setting the most stringent limit to date on such states decaying into a vector boson and a Higgs boson.

description: We construct local generalizations of 3-state Potts models with exotic critical points. We analytically show that these are described by non-diagonal modular invariant partition functions of products of $Z_3$ parafermion or $u(1)_6$ conformal field theories (CFTs). These correspond either to non-trivial permutation invariants or block diagonal invariants, that one can understand in terms of anyon condensation. In terms of lattice parafermion operators, the constructed models correspond to parafermion chains with many-body terms. Our construction is based on how the partition function of a CFT depends on symmetry sectors and boundary conditions. This enables to write the partition function corresponding to one modular invariant as a linear combination of another over different sectors and boundary conditions, which translates to a general recipe how to write down a microscopic model, tuned to criticality. We show that the scheme can also be extended to construct critical generalizations of $k$-state clock type models.

description: We address the problem of transferring the style of a headshot photo to face images. Existing methods using a single exemplar lead to inaccurate results when the exemplar does not contain sufficient stylized facial components for a given photo. In this work, we propose an algorithm to stylize face images using multiple exemplars containing different subjects in the same style. Patch correspondences between an input photo and multiple exemplars are established using a Markov Random Field (MRF), which enables accurate local energy transfer via Laplacian stacks. As image patches from multiple exemplars are used, the boundaries of facial components on the target image are inevitably inconsistent. The artifacts are removed by a post-processing step using an edge-preserving filter. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm consistently produces visually pleasing results.

description: This study aimed to determine a typical profile of elite breath-hold divers (BHDs), in relation to loss of consciousness (LOC) and episodic memory. Forty-four BHDs were evaluated during a world championship with anthropometric and physiological measurements, psychosociological factors and memory assessment. Seventy-five percent of the BHDs had at least one LOC with the predominance being men (p < 0.05). Thirty six percent of BHDs presented a low-risk profile and 64% a high-risk profile with no particular psychological pattern. Stepwise multiple linear regression showed that body fat, years of BH practice, age and forced vital capacity explained a significant amount of the variance of LOC for all BHDs (F(4,39) = 16.03, p < 0.001, R2 = 0.622, R2Adjusted = 0.583). No correlation was found between resting physiological parameters and their training or depth performances. In conclusion, anthropometric data, pulmonary factors and breath-holding experience were predictive of LOC in elite BHDs, with men taking more risks. BHDs episodic memory was not impaired.

description: In the presence of randomness, a relativistic semimetal undergoes a quantum transition towards a diffusive phase. A standard approach relates this transition to the $U(N)$ Gross-Neveu model in the limit of $N \to 0$. We show that the corresponding fixed point is infinitely unstable, demonstrating the necessity to include fluctuations beyond the usual Gaussian approximation. We develop a functional renormalization group method amenable to include these effects and show that the disorder distribution renormalizes following the so-called porous medium equation. We find that the transition is controlled by a nonanalytic fixed point drastically different from that of the $U(N)$ Gross-Neveu model. Our approach provides a unique mechanism of spontaneous generation of a finite density of states and also characterizes the scaling behavior of the broad distribution of fluctuations close to the transition. It can be applied to other problems where nonanalytic effects may play a role, such as the Anderson localization transition.

The Kontsevich-Penner matrix integral, isomonodromic tau functions and open intersection numbers

description: We identify the Kontsevich-Penner matrix integral, for finite size $n$, with the isomonodromic tau function of a $3\times 3$ rational connection on the Riemann sphere with $n$ Fuchsian singularities placed in correspondence with the eigenvalues of the external field of the matrix integral. By formulating the isomonodromic system in terms of an appropriate Riemann-Hilbert boundary value problem, we can pass to the limit $n\to\infty$ (at a formal level) and identify an isomonodromic system in terms of the Miwa variables, which play the role of times of the KP hierarchy. This allows to derive the String and Dilaton equations via a purely Riemann-Hilbert approach. The expression of the formal limit of the partition function as an isomonodromic tau function allows us to derive explicit closed formulæ for the correlators of this matrix model in terms of the solution of the Riemann-Hilbert problem with all times set to zero. These correlators have been conjectured to describe the intersection numbers for Riemann surfaces with boundaries, or open intersection numbers.

description: As a teacher of physical chemistry, I noticed that students, even in advanced classes, have difficulties in understanding the basics of redox chemistry. The quantification of redox quantities, such as potentials requires reference systems (or electrodes) for comparison. Section 4 discusses the importance of reference systems (or electrodes) in the determination of electrochemical quantities. Several reference electrodes with their standard potentials are provided, and the trends of redox potentials across the periodic table are discussed. In addition to reference electrodes, the quantification of redox quantities requires electrochemical cells. Section 5 summarizes the basic components of electrochemical cells in terms of electrode and electrolyte, as well as the main mathematical quantities governing the redox reactions at equilibrium explained by the Nernst equation. To further clarify the discussed concepts, numerous questions and problems with detailed answers are provided. Most of these questions are formulated by students like you. I believe that these two Sections (4 and 5) would greatly help students with levels varying from high school to advanced university classes
Rigid hyperholomorphic sheaves remain rigid along twistor deformations of the underlying hyparkahler manifold

description: Let S be a K3 surface and M a smooth and projective 2n-dimensional moduli space of stable coherent sheaves on S. Over M x M there exists a rank 2n-2 reflexive hyperholomorphic sheaf E_M, whose fiber over a non-diagonal point (F,G) is Ext^1(F,G). The sheaf E_M can be deformed along some twistor path to a sheaf E_X over the cartesian square of every Kahler manifold X deformation equivalent to M. We prove that E_X is infinitesimally rigid, and the isomorphism class of the Azumaya algebra End(E_X) is independent of the twistor path chosen. This verifies conjectures in arXiv:1310.5782 and arXiv:1507.03108 on non-commutative deformations of K3 surfaces and renders the results of these two papers unconditional.

description: We address the problem of generating query suggestions to support users in completing their underlying tasks (which motivated them to search in the first place). Given an initial query, these query suggestions should provide a coverage of possible subtasks the user might be looking for. We propose a probabilistic modeling framework that obtains keyphrases from multiple sources and generates query suggestions from these keyphrases. Using the test suites of the TREC Tasks track, we evaluate and analyze each component of our model.

subject: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

description: Background: The act of engaging in regular physical activity (PA) particularly walking may lead to a catalystic effect on the glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, and complications related to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Despite of the feasibility of walking as daily PA, many diabetics did not meet the recommended demand of sufficient moderate-to-vigorous intensity of PA. The purpose of this paper is to identify the appropriate techniques of daily PA in T2DM patients as per current international guidelines. Methods: A scoping review will be carried out with the purpose of identifying the existing studies that described the characteristics of daily PA interventions delivered to T2DM patients in six different databases (Scopus; Web of Science Core Collection; Medline; PubMed; Google Scholar and Science Direct). Three reviewers will screen all citations and full-text articles. The author will abstract data, organize theme into the relevant concept that will answer the review questions, summarizes them, and report the results. Discussion: This review is expected to provide an overview of the appropriate techniques of daily PA in T2DM patients that meet the standardized recommendation from American Diabetes Association (ADA) and World Health Organization (WHO). The outcome of this project also may guide health care decision-making in improving community-based rehabilitation performance in T2DM population.

description: Massive stars in binaries can give rise to extreme phenomena such as X-ray binaries and gravitational wave sources after one or both stars end their lives as core-collapse supernovae. Stars in close orbit around a stellar or compact companion are expected to explode as "stripped-envelope supernovae", showing no (Type Ib/c) or little (Type IIb) signs of hydrogen in the spectra, because hydrogen-rich progenitors are too large to fit. The physical processes responsible for the stripping process and the fate of the companion are still very poorly understood. Aiming to find new clues, we investigate Cas~A, which is a very young ($\sim$340 \,yr) and near ($\sim$3.4\,kpc) remnant of a core collapse supernova. Cas~A has been subject to several searches for possible companions, all unsuccessfully. We present new measurements of the proper motions and photometry of stars in the vicinity based on deep HST ACS/WFC and WFC3-IR data. We identify stellar sources that are close enough in projection, but using their proper motions we show that none are compatible with being at the location of center at the time of explosion, in agreement with earlier findings. Our photometric measurements allow us to place much deeper (order of magnitude) upper limits on the brightness of possible undetected companions. We systematically compare them with model predictions for a wide variety of scenarios. We can confidently rule out the presence of any stellar companion of any reasonable mass and age (main sequence, pre main sequence or stripped). Although this finding is not in direct conflict with model predictions, it does rule out what many considered to be the most likely evolutionary scenario for type IIb supernova.

description: En tant que professeure de chimie physique, j'ai remarqué que les étudiants, même dans des classes avancées, ont des difficultés à comprendre les bases d’oxydoréduction (chimie redox ou électrochimie). Dans cette Section 3, j'ai discuté certains principes d’oxydoréduction, en se concentrant sur les espèces qui peuvent perdre ou gagner des électrons, la détermination des nombres (ou états) d'oxydation des atomes dans des substances ainsi que les diverses façons d'équilibrer les réactions d’oxydoréduction. Pour clarifier davantage les concepts discutés, un grand nombre de questions et problèmes avec réponses détaillées sont fournis. La plupart de ces questions sont formulées par des étudiants comme vous. Je crois que cette Section 3 aiderait grandement les étudiants avec des niveaux variant de l'école secondaire aux cours universitaires avancés.
