Low Energy Supersymmetry in Warped Brane Worlds
Creators: name: Lalak, Zygmunt
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss physical implications of the four-dimensional effective supergravity, that describes low-energy physics of the Randall--Sundrum model with moduli fields in the bulk and charged chiral matter living on the branes. Cosmological constant can be cancelled through the introduction of a brane Polonyi field and a brane superpotential for the 4d dilaton. We deduce a generalization of the effective 4d action to the case of a general, not necessarily exponential, warp factor. We note, that breakdown of supersymmetry in generic warped models may lead to the stabilization of the interbrane distance.

description: Any deterministic bipartite entanglement transformation involving finite copies of pure states and carried out using local operations and classical communication (LOCC) results in a net loss of entanglement. We show that for almost all such transformations, partial recovery of lost entanglement is achievable by using $2 \times 2$ auxiliary entangled states, no matter how large the dimensions of the parent states are. For the rest of the special cases of deterministic LOCC transformations, we show that the dimension of the auxiliary entangled state depends on the presence of equalities in the majorization relations of the parent states. We show that genuine recovery is still possible using auxiliary states in dimensions less than that of the parent states for all patterns of majorization relations except only one special case.

description: New ecofriendly Biginelli reaction procedures have been adapted to prepare new dihydropyrimidines (DHPMs) using a multicomponent one-pot reaction. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anticancer activity against 59 human cancer cell lines and evaluated for their antimicrobial activities against representatives of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Compound 4 showed marked wide spectrum anticancer activity towards most of the tested cancer cell lines with a percentage of growth inhibition of 29.04–71.68% against leukemia cell line (K-562 and SR), lung cancer cell line (NCI-H522), five colon cancer cell lines (HCT-116, HCT-15, HT29, KM12 and SW-620), CNS cancer cell line (SF-295 and SNB-75), melanoma cell lines (MALME-3M and M14), renal cancer cell line (CAKI-1) and breast cancer cell lines (MCF7 and MDA-MB-468). The highest observed anticancer activity was against leukemia cell lines K-562 and SR with inhibition percentages of 64.97 and 71.68%, respectively. The renal cancer cell line (UO-31) was particularly sensitive towards all the evaluated compounds. Compounds including 2b and 5c exhibited antibacterial activity against S. aureus while 2a and 5b exhibited antifungal activity against C. albicans. The results also showed that compounds 2c and 5e exhibited both antibacterial and antifungal activity against S. aureus and C. albicans respectively.

description: A good understanding of underlying causes of the obesity prevalence in the farmworker population is critical in finding effective strategies to fight obesity and related chronic diseases. There is growing evidence that the population of farmworkers fares poorly with regard to health status, but available data on obesity levels and related chronic diseases is scarce or missing. This study examined the prevalence of overweight and obesity among a sample of farmworker population in California. Results from this study should prove helpful to the design of intervention efforts and policies to help improve the health status of farmworker population at the community level and beyond.

description: How does collaboration between two different groups of students help dementia patients? Two faculty, one from the University of Missouri, the other from Kent State University, have prepared a course on solving communication problems involving dementia patients and, in the process, examine how collaboration leading to participatory design impacts the co- creation of communication design strategies. In constructing a repeatable framework, or blueprint, for course research, the faculty ask: how can we use participatory research methods when working with dementia patients? And, how can we then deploy these new methods to help dementia patients communicate better with the world around them? This paper explores participation and collaboration in co-creating communication design strategies for working with dementia patients.
Physics of the solar cycle

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The theory of the solar/stellar activity cycles is presented, based on the mean-field concept in magnetohydrodynamics. A new approach to the formulation of the electromotive force and the theory of differential rotation and meridional circulation is described. Dynamo cycles in the overshoot layer and distributed dynamos are compared, with the latter including the influence of meridional flow. The overshoot layer dynamo reproduces the solar cycle periods and the butterfly diagram only if alpha=0 in the convection zone (CZ). The distributed dynamo including meridional flows shows the observed butterfly diagram even with a positive dynamo-alpha in CZ. The nonlinear feedback of strong magnetic fields on differential rotation leads to grand minima in the cyclic activity similar to those observed. Our 2D model contains the large- and small-scale feedback of magnetic fields on diff. rotation and induction in a mean-field formulation (Lambda-, alpha-quenching). Grand minima may also occur if a dynamo occasionally falls below its critical eigenvalue. We never found any indication that such an on-off dynamo collapses by this effect after being excited. The full quenching of turbulence by strong magnetic fields as reduced induction (alpha) and reduced turbulent diffusivity (eta_T) is studied in 1D. We find a stronger dependence of cycle period on dynamo number compared with a pure alpha-quenching model giving a very weak cycle period dependence. Also the temporal fluctuations of alpha and eta_T from a random-vortex simulation were applied to a dynamo. Then the low `quality' of the solar cycle can be explained with a small number of giant cells as dynamo-active turbulence. The transition from almost regular magnetic oscillations (many vortices) to a more or less chaotic time series (very few vortices) is shown.

description: We investigate superfluid phase transitions of asymmetric nuclear matter at finite temperature ($T$) and density ($ρ$) with a low proton fraction ($Y_{\rm p} \le 0.2$) which is relevant to the inner crust and outer core of neutron stars. A strong-coupling theory developed for two-component atomic Fermi gases is generalized to the four-component case and is applied to the system of spin-$1/2$ neutrons and protons. The empirical phase shifts of neutron-neutron (nn), proton-proton (pp) and neutron-proton (np) interactions up to $k = 2$ ${\rm fm}^{-1}$ are described by multi-rank separable potentials. We show that (i) the critical temperature of the neutron superfluidity $T_{\rm c}^{\rm nn}$ at $Y_{\rm p}=0$ agrees well with Monte Carlo data at low densities and takes a maximum value $T_{\rm c}^{\rm nn}=1.68$ MeV at $ρ/ρ_0 = 0.14$ with $ρ_0=0.17$ fm$^{-3}$, (ii) the critical temperature of the proton superconductivity $T_{\rm c}^{\rm pp}$ for $Y_{\rm p} \le 0.2$ is substantially suppressed at low densities due to np-pairing fluctuations and starts to dominate over $T_{\rm c}^{\rm nn}$ only above $ρ/ρ_0 = 0.70$ $(0.77)$ for $Y_p =0.1$ $(0.2)$, and (iii) the deuteron condensation temperature $T_{\rm c}^{\rm d}$ is suppressed at $Y_{\rm p}\le 0.2$ due to the large mismatch of the two Fermi surfaces.

Welfare Analysis for Climate Risk Reductions: Are Current Treatments of Outcome Uncertainty Sufficient?

description: Discrete choice experiments often include attributes subject to outcome uncertainty (OU), defined as uncertainty regarding actual attribute levels that will occur. Most choice experiments that incorporate OU do so using scenarios that allow for only two possible outcomes distinguished by a single probability. Because few environmental phenomena are characterized by two possible outcomes, characterizing scenarios in this way requires analysts to reframe actual conditions, discretizing the underlying continuous probability density function into two intervals. The implications of this reframing for welfare estimation are almost universally unknown. This article evaluates the convergent validity of welfare estimates from a more complex and accurate treatment of OU, compared to the traditional two-outcome approach. Methods and results are illustrated using an application to coastal flood adaptation in Connecticut, USA. Results show that a higher-resolution, multiple outcome treatment of OU provides additional information on risk preferences and willingness to pay (WTP), but also suggest that multiple outcome treatments increase task complexity. These tradeoffs highlight challenges facing the valuation of outcomes subject to OU.

description: The scatter (${\rmσ_{\text{sSFR}}}$) of the specific star formation rates (sSFRs) of galaxies is a measure of the diversity in their star formation histories (SFHs) at a given mass. In this paper we employ the EAGLE simulations to study the dependence of the ${\rm σ_{\text{sSFR}}}$ of galaxies on stellar mass (${\rm M_{\star}}$) through the ${\rm σ_{\text{sSFR}}}$-${\rm M_{\star}}$ relation in $ {\rm z \sim 0-4}$. We find that the relation evolves with time, with the dispersion depending on both stellar mass and redshift. The models point to an evolving U-shape form for the ${\rm σ_{\text{sSFR}}}$-${\rm M_{\star}}$ relation with the scatter being minimal at a characteristic mass $M^{\star}$ of ${\rm 10^{9.5}}$ ${\rm M_{\odot}}$ and increasing both at lower and higher masses. This implication is that the diversity of SFHs increases towards both at the low- and high-mass ends. We find that active galactic nuclei feedback is important for increasing the ${\rm σ_{\text{sSFR}}}$ for high mass objects. On the other hand, we suggest that SNe feedback increases the ${\rm σ_{\text{sSFR}}}$ of galaxies at the low-mass end. We also find that excluding galaxies that have experienced recent mergers does not significantly affect the ${\rm σ_{\text{sSFR}}}$-${\rm M_{\star}}$ relation. Furthermore, we employ the combination of the EAGLE simulations with the radiative transfer code SKIRT to evaluate the effect of SFR/stellar mass diagnostics in the ${\rm σ_{\text{sSFR}}}$-${\rm M_{\star}}$ relation and find that the ${\rm SFR/M_{\star}}$ methodologies (e.g. SED fitting, UV+IR, UV+IRX-$β$) widely used in the literature to obtain intrinsic properties of galaxies have a large effect on the derived shape and normalization of the ${\rm σ_{\text{sSFR}}}$-${\rm M_{\star}}$ relation.

description: This paper examines the failure of command-and-control pollution policies in the presence of overlapping regulations. We study the case of recent bans on phosphate in household dishwasher detergent. We show that the effectiveness of the bans in reducing effluent depends critically on existing pollution regulations at receiving wastewater treatment facilities. Some facilities face limits on how much phosphorus they can emit. As cost minimizers, limit facilities face no incentive to deviate from this standard. Using novel datasets on wastewater treatment facilities, we show that bans have weak effects on phosphorous effluent, especially in the most polluted waterways.
Type IIA Orientifold Limit of M-Theory on Compact Joyce 8-Manifold of Spin(7)-Holonomy

description: We show that M-theory compactified on a compact Joyce 8-manifold of $Spin(7)$-holonomy, which yields an effective theory in $D = 3$ with $\N$ = 1 supersymmetry, admits at some special points in it moduli space a description in terms of type IIA theory on an orientifold of compact Joyce 7-manifold of $G_2$-holonomy. We find the evidence in favour of this duality by computing the massless spectra on both M-thory side and type IIA side. For the latter, we compute the massless spectra by going to the orbifold limit of the Joyce 7-manifold.

description: Drug delivery systems based on nanoparticles (nano-DDS) have aroused attentions for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM), the most malignant brain cancer with a dismal prognosis. However, there are still numerous unmet challenges for traditional nano-DDS, such as the poor nanoparticle penetration, short retention in the GBM parenchyma and low glioma targeting ability. Herein, we used Pep-1 and CREKA peptides to construct a novel multifunctional GBM targeting nano-DDS (PC-NP). Pep-1 was used to overcome the blood–brain tumor barrier (BBTB) and home to glioma cells via interleukin-13 receptor-α2-mediated endocytosis, and CREKA was used to bind to fibrin–fibronectin complexes abundantly expressed in tumor microenvironment for enhanced retention in the GBM. Biological studies showed that the cellular uptake of PC-NP by U87MG cells was significantly enhanced compared with the non-targeting NP. Furthermore, CREKA modification increased the binding capacity of PC-NP to fibrin–fibronectin complexes as confirmed by the competition experiment. In accordance with the increased cellular uptake, PC-NP remarkably increased the cytotoxicity of its payload paclitaxel (PTX) against U87MG cells with an IC50 of 0.176 μg/mL. In vivo fluorescence imaging and antiglioma efficacy evaluation further confirmed that PC-NP accumulated effectively and penetrated deeply into GBM tissue. PC-NP-PTX exhibited a median survival time as long as 61 days in intracranial GBM-bearing mice. In conclusion, our findings indicated PC-NP as a promising nano-DDS for GBM targeting delivery of anticancer drugs.

description: The aim of this paper is to reposition and reinvigorate how D&T is interpreted and enacted within the school curriculum. Not merely as an industrial imperative, with its focus on technical and economic matters, but on D&T as a cultural, creative and humanising endeavour. Our argument is that technological activity is fundamentally human and integral to our evolution and development as cognisant and social beings. Therefore, to measure a subject by it’s so called timeless knowledge in opposition to skill (Gibb, 2016) falls short of achieving a broad and balanced curriculum (Spielman, 2018); in particular a relatively new and evolving subject encompassing the complexity of technology and society, with their complex and changing natures. However, there may be light at the end of the tunnel, with inspection findings of “evidence of curriculum narrowing” in England and the negative impact of focusing on “few measurable outcomes” (Ofsted, 2019, p. 5); which may result in a resurgence of opportunities for pupils to study practical and creative subjects, such as D&T, in opposition to the perverse incentives that have led to said narrowing in school curricula.

description: We propose a Wigner quasiprobability distribution function for Hamiltonian systems in spaces of constant curvature --in this paper on hyperboloids--, which returns the correct marginals and has the covariance of the Shapiro functions under SO(D,1) transformations. To the free systems obeying the Laplace-Beltrami equation on the hyperboloid, we add a conic-oscillator potential in the hyperbolic coordinate. As an example, we analyze the 1-dimensional case on a hyperbola branch, where this conic-oscillator is the Poschl-Teller potential. We present the analytical solutions and plot the computed results. The standard theory of quantum oscillators is regained in the contraction limit to the space of zero curvature.

description: We present tables of velocity dispersions derived from CALIFA V1200 datacubes using Pipe3D. Four different dispersions are extracted from emission (ionized gas) or absorption (stellar) spectra, with two spatial apertures (5'' and 30''). Stellar and ionized gas dispersions are not interchangeable and we determine their distinguishing features. We also compare these dispersions with literature values and construct sample scaling relations to further assess their applicability. We consider revised velocity-based scaling relations using the virial velocity parameter S_K^2 = K V_rot^2 + sigma^2 constructed with each of our dispersions. Our search for the strongest linear correlation between S_K and i-band absolute magnitudes favors the common K ~ 0.5, though the range 0.3 - 0.8 is statistically acceptable. The reduction of scatter in our best stellar mass-virial velocity relations over that of a classic luminosity-velocity relation is minimal; this may however reflect the dominance of massive spirals in our sample.

description: This perspective piece calls for the study of the new field of Intersymbolic AI, by which we mean the combination of symbolic AI, whose building blocks have inherent significance/meaning, with subsymbolic AI, whose entirety creates significance/effect despite the fact that individual building blocks escape meaning. Canonical kinds of symbolic AI are logic, games and planning. Canonical kinds of subsymbolic AI are (un)supervised machine and reinforcement learning. Intersymbolic AI interlinks the worlds of symbolic AI with its compositional symbolic significance and meaning and of subsymbolic AI with its summative significance or effect to enable culminations of insights from both worlds by going between and across symbolic AI insights with subsymbolic AI techniques that are being helped by symbolic AI principles. For example, Intersymbolic AI may start with symbolic AI to understand a dynamic system, continue with subsymbolic AI to learn its control, and end with symbolic AI to safely use the outcome of the learned subsymbolic AI controller in the dynamic system. The way Intersymbolic AI combines both symbolic and subsymbolic AI to increase the effectiveness of AI compared to either kind of AI alone is likened to the way that the combination of both conscious and subconscious thought increases the effectiveness of human thought compared to either kind of thought alone. Some successful contributions to the Intersymbolic AI paradigm are surveyed here but many more are considered possible by advancing Intersymbolic AI.

description: PAD is a project focused on the process of eating and feeding when the user has dementia. It is relevant as one of the things that all humans do is eat, and it is important because when a person develops a condition like dementia this type of actions become difficult to do. Therefore, PAD works like a tool to help a person continue to eat properly. PAD is tableware designed to be with a person throughout all the stages of dementia, as it adapts to the needs that the patient develops in every stage. At the same time, one of the main ideas of this project was to promote the inclusion between the individual with dementia and the people that surround him/her, in order to have a better relationship.

We investigated, with a contextual design approach, how reminiscence processes occur throughout the day of people living in dementia care facilities. Based on observations from reminiscence activities in everyday life we designed an interactive set of drawers for the semi-public space of residential groups. It contained tangible objects and displayed personalized pictures to different themes. The main aim of the prototype was to foster self-efficacy and trigger reminiscence through self-determined exploration of its content. We observed meaningful, self- induced interactions where people with dementia showed interest in either the pictures on the drawers or the tangible features of the drawers. Unobtrusive moderation of the interaction prompted people with dementia to vocalize their thoughts and associations which facilitated reminiscence.

description: This paper analyzes a common property resource (such as oil field or water reservoir) shared by two countries in the presence of two forms of bilateral externalities: the tragedy of the commons, and the environmental damage resulting from the exploitation of the resource. We demonstrate that both cooperative and non-cooperative forms of regulation produce a negative effect on firms' profits, as they increase firms' unit production costs. However, regulation can also entail a positive effect on profits, given that it mitigates industry overproduction. We show that the magnitude of these two effects depends not only on the type of regulatory instrument, but also on the rate of resource extraction and the environmental damage in each country. We identify conditions under which the positive effect of regulation dominates its negative effect, thus increasing firms' profits and ultimately incentivizing them to support the introduction of regulation, either at the national or international level.

description: This paper attempts to provide an understanding of the widely-documented retirement-consumption puzzle from the perspective of food consumption. Exploiting urban China's "forced" retirement system, we use the legal retirement age cut-off as an instrumental variable for one's retirement status to estimate the causal impacts of retirement on four major aspects of food consumption for males aged 50-70 in urban China: food expenditure, time spent on food acquisition, the quantity and quality of food consumed. Our fuzzy regression-discontinuity analysis of the China Health and Nutrition Survey data finds that, consistent with the retirement-consumption puzzle, retirement reduces individuals' total food expenditure by 49%. However, retirement barely changes their quantity of food consumed (measure by total calorie intakes). Serving to reconcile the differential retirement impacts on elderly males' food expenditure and consumption, retirees are found to substitute their time for money in food acquisition upon retirement. However, they have to sacrifice some quality for quantity of food consumption while smoothing the latter. Given the criteria provided by the Chinese Nutrition Association, retirement negatively affects retirees' diet balance. They consume significantly less food with animal origins (and thus less fat and protein) and more grains (and thus more carbohydrate) upon retirement.

description: Supersoft X-ray sources are stellar objects which emit X-rays with temperatures of about 1 million Kelvin and luminosities well in excess of what can be produced by stellar coronae. It has generally been presumed that the objects in this class are binary star systems in which mass transfer leads to nuclear fusion on the surface of a white dwarf. Classical novae, the runaway fusion events on the surfaces of white dwarfs, generally have supersoft phases, and it is often stated that the bright steady supersoft X-ray sources seen from white dwarfs accreting mass at a high rate are undergoing steady nuclear fusion. In this letter, we report the discovery of a transient supersoft source in the Small Magellanic Cloud without any signature of nuclear fusion having taken place. This discovery indicates that the X-ray emission probably comes from a "spreading layer" - a belt on the surface of the white dwarf near the inner edge of the accretion disk in which a large fraction of the total accretion energy is emitted - and (albeit more tentatively) that the accreting white dwarf is relatively massive. We thus establish that the presence of a supersoft source cannot always be used as a tracer of nuclear fusion, in contradiction with decades-old consensus about the nature of supersoft emission.

description: Power cuts have become a characteristic feature of many Sub-Saharan African economies. This paper attempts to estimate the firm level impact of power out- ages using panel data on firms from 15 Sub-Saharan African countries. Further, I evaluate the impact of electricity self-generation in ameliorating the effects of power outages on firm performance using a quasi-experimental approach. Results from the analysis reveal significant negative effects of electricity short- ages on firm productivity, size and labor employment. Finally, contrary to the notion that self-generation may be helpful for firms during outage periods, evidence from this paper suggest that reliance on self-generation is associated with productivity losses albeit short run revenue gains.
Enhancement of Ambipolar Diffusion Rates through Field Fluctuations

description: Previous treatments of ambipolar diffusion in star-forming molecular clouds do not consider the effects of fluctuations in the fluid fields about their mean values. This paper generalizes the ambipolar diffusion problem in molecular cloud layers to include such fluctuations. Because magnetic diffusion is a nonlinear process, fluctuations can lead to an enhancement of the ambipolar diffusion rate. In addition, the stochastic nature of the process makes the ambipolar diffusion time take on a distribution of different values. In this paper, we focus on the case of long wavelength fluctuations and find that the rate of ambipolar diffusion increases by a significant factor $Λ\sim 1 - 10$. The corresponding decrease in the magnetic diffusion time helps make ambipolar diffusion more consistent with observations.

Scaling Lee-Yang Model on a Sphere. I. Partition Function
Creators: name: Zamolodchikov, Al.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Some general properties of perturbed (rational) CFT in the background metric of symmetric 2D sphere of radius $R$ are discussed, including conformal perturbation theory for the partition function and the large $R$ asymptotic. The truncated conformal space scheme is adopted to treat numerically perturbed rational CFT's in the spherical background. Numerical results obtained for the scaling Lee-Yang model lead to the conclusion that the partition function is an entire function of the coupling constant. Exploiting this analytic structure we are able to describe rather precisely the ``experimental'' truncated space data, including even the large $R$ behavior, starting only with the CFT information and few first terms of conformal perturbation theory.

description: In this work we present a further investigation about Teleparallel Gravity Cosmology. We demonstrate that according the current astrophysical data (CC+Pantheon+BAO samplers with late universe measurements SH0ES+H0LiCOW), an $f(T,B)$ theory can provide another interpretation to the oscillatory behaviour of the dark energy equation of state when applied to late times. The four $f(T,B)$ cosmological viable models proposed here can undergo an epoch of late-time acceleration and reproduce quintessence and phantom regimes with a transition along the phantom-divided line, making this theory a good approach to modify the standard $Λ$CDM model.

description: Many systems neuroscientists want to understand neurons in terms of mediation; we want to understand how neurons are involved in the causal chain from stimulus to behavior. Unfortunately, most tools are inappropriate for that while our language takes mediation for granted. Here we discuss the contrast between our conceptual drive towards mediation and the difficulty of obtaining meaningful evidence.

description: The main outburst of the candidate black hole low-mass X-ray binary (BH LMXB) MAXI J1535-571 ended in 2018 May and was followed by at least five episodes of re-brightenings. We have monitored this re-brightening phenomenon at X-ray and radio wavelengths using the {\it Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory} and Australia Telescope Compact Array, respectively. The first two re-brightenings exhibited a high peak X-ray luminosity (implying a high mass accretion rate) and were observed to transition from the hard to the soft state. However, unlike the main outburst, these re-brightenings did not exhibit clear hysteresis. During the re-brightenings, when MAXI J1535-571 was in the hard state, we observed the brightening of a compact radio jet which was subsequently quenched when the source transitioned to a similar soft state as was observed during the main outburst. We report on the first investigation of disk-jet coupling over multiple rapidly evolving re-brightenings in a BH LMXB. We find that the accretion flow properties and the accompanying compact jet evolve on a similarly rapid time scale of ~days rather than the typical value of ~weeks as observed for most other BH LMXBs during their main outburst events.
