description: As an example for complex systems with extreme events we investigate ocean wave states exhibiting rogue waves. We present a statistical method of data analysis based on multi-point statistics which for the first time allows grasping extreme rogue wave events in a statistically highly satisfactory manner. The key to the success of the approach is mapping the complexity of multi-point data onto the statistics of hierarchically ordered height increments for different time scales for which we can show that a stochastic cascade process with Markov properties is governed by a Fokker-Planck equation. Conditional probabilities as well as the Fokker-Planck equation itself can be estimated directly from the available observational data. With this stochastic description surrogate data sets can in turn be generated allowing to work out arbitrary statistical features of the complex sea state in general and extreme rogue wave events in particular. The results also open up new perspectives for forecasting the occurrence probability of extreme rogue wave events, and even for forecasting the occurrence of individual rogue waves based on precursory dynamics.

A Scotogenic Model with Two Inert Doublets

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this work, we present a scotogenic model, where the neutrino mass is generated at one-loop diagrams. The standard model (SM) is extended by three singlet Majorana fermions and two inert scalar doublets instead of one doublet as in the minimal scotogenic model. The model scalar sector includes two CP-even, two CP-odd and two charged scalars in addition to the Higgs. The dark matter (DM) candidate could be either the light Majorana fermion (Majorana DM), or the lightest among the CP-even and the CP-odd scalars (scalar DM). We show that the model accommodates both Majorana and scalar DM within a significant viable parameter space, while considering all the relevant theoretical and experimental constraints such as perturbativity, vacuum stability, unitarity, the di-photon Higgs decay, electroweak precision tests and lepton flavor violating constraints. In addition to the collider signatures predicted by the minimal scotogenic model, our model predicts some novel signatures that can be probed through some final states such as $8~jets+\slashed{E}_T$, $1\ell+4~jets+\slashed{E}_T$ and $4b+\slashed{E}_T$.

description: In this work we search and characterize exoplanets orbiting members of stellar streams, which are structures in the Galaxy composed of stars with similar dynamic and chemical properties, and with galactic or extragalactic origin. With current facilities, the detection of exoplanets in extragalactic stellar streams, resulting from merger events, could be the only way to study in detail exoplanets formed outside the Milky Way. This could help to understand better the impact of the merger events in the planetary systems of these stars, and also to compare their planetary properties and statistics with the ones from the Milky Way. We used Gaia DR2 to select stellar candidates of the Arcturus stream, an over density of stars suspected to have an extragalactic origin, and we obtained their photometry from the TESS Full Frame Images. We found several transiting planetary candidates and present three of them which are being studied in detail.

description: We report a robust sample of 10 massive quiescent galaxies at redshift, $z > 3$, selected using the first data from the JWST CEERS programme. Three of these galaxies are at $4 < z < 5$, constituting the best evidence to date for quiescent galaxies significantly before $z=4$. These extreme galaxies have stellar masses in the range log$_{10}(M_*/$M$_\odot) = 10.1-11.1$, and formed the bulk of their mass around $z \simeq 10$, with two objects having star-formation histories that suggest they had already reached log$_{10}(M_*/$M$_\odot) > 10$ by $z\gtrsim8$. We report number densities for our sample, demonstrating that, based on the small area of JWST imaging so far available, previous work appears to have underestimated the number of quiescent galaxies at $3 < z < 4$ by a factor of $3-5$, due to a lack of ultra-deep imaging data at $λ>2\,μ$m. This result deepens the existing tension between observations and theoretical models, which already struggle to reproduce previous estimates of $z>3$ quiescent galaxy number densities. Upcoming wider-area JWST imaging surveys will provide larger samples of such galaxies and more-robust number densities, as well as providing opportunities to search for quiescent galaxies at $z>5$. The galaxies we report are excellent potential targets for JWST NIRSpec spectroscopy, which will be required to understand in detail their physical properties, providing deeper insights into the processes responsible for forming massive galaxies and quenching star formation during the first billion years.

description: We consider two related formulations for mass generation in the $U(1)$ Higgs-Kibble model and in the Standard Model (SM). In the first model there are no scalar self-interactions and, in the case of the SM, the formulation is related to the normal subgroup of $G=SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$, generated by $(e^{2πi/3}I,-I,e^{πi/3})\in G$, that acts trivially on all the fields of the SM. The key step of our construction is to relax the non-negative definiteness condition for the Higgs field due to the polar decomposition. This solves several stringent problems, that we will shortly review, both in the perturbative and non-perturbative formulations. We will show that the usual polar decomposition of the complex scalar doublet $Φ$ should be done with $U\in SU(2)/Z_2\simeq SO(3)$, where $Z_2$ is the group generated by $-I$, and with the Higgs field $ϕ\in R$ rather than $ϕ\in R_{\geq0}$. As a byproduct, the investigation shows how Elitzur theorem may be avoided in the usual formulation of the SM. It follows that the simplest lagrangian density for the Higgs mechanism has the standard kinetic term in addition to the mass term, with the right sign, and to a linear term in $ϕ$. The other model concerns the scalar theories with normal ordered exponential interactions. The remarkable property of these theories is that for $D>2$ the purely scalar sector corresponds to a free theory.

Inferring Difficulty: Flexibility in the Real-time Processing of Disfluency

description: Upon hearing a disfluent referring expression, listeners expect the speaker to refer to an object that is previously-unmentioned, an object that does not have a straightforward label, or an object that requires a longer description. Two visual-world eye-tracking experiments examined whether listeners directly associate disfluency with these properties of objects, or whether disfluency attribution is more flexible and involves situation-specific inferences. Since in natural situations reference to objects that do not have a straightforward label or that require a longer description is correlated with both production difficulty and with disfluency, we used a mini artificial lexicon to dissociate difficulty from these properties, building on the fact that recently-learned names take longer to produce than existing words in one’s mental lexicon. The results demonstrate that disfluency attribution involves situation-specific inferences; we propose that in new situations listeners spontaneously infer what may cause production difficulty. However, the results show that these situation-specific inferences are limited in scope: listeners assessed difficulty relative to their own experience with the artificial names, and did not adapt to the assumed knowledge of the speaker.

description: Sleep disorders are problematic for persons with dementia and their family caregivers. This randomized controlled trial with crossover evaluated the effects of an innovative blue-white light therapy on 17 pairs of home-dwelling persons with dementia and their caregivers. Subjects with dementia received blue-white light and control (‘red-yellow’ light) for six weeks separated by a four-week washout. Neither actigraphic nor most self-reported sleep measures significantly differed for subjects with dementia. For caregivers, both sleep and role strain improved. No evidence of retinal light toxicity was observed. Six weeks of modest doses of blue-white light appear to improve sleep in caregivers but not in persons with dementia. Greater or prolonged circadian stimulation may be needed to determine if light is an effective treatment for persons with dementia.
Barriers to hepatitis C treatment

description: Despite the availability of highly effective therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, few patients receive treatment. Barriers arising at multiple levels, from diagnosis to specialist referral, may impede the delivery of hepatitis C care. At the patient level, lack of awareness, fear of side effects, poor adherence, and comorbid conditions may prevent treatment. For providers, limited knowledge, lack of availability, and communication difficulties may be problematic. At the government and payer level, a lack of promotion, surveillance, and funding may interfere. Each of these barriers needs to be addressed if wider implementation of antiviral therapy is to be achieved.

description: Abstract Background & Aims Thrombocytopaenia and hypoalbuminaemia are surrogate markers for portal hypertension and hepatic synthetic dysfunction respectively. Patients infected with hepatitis C virus ( HCV ) with these surrogates have reduced likelihood of sustained virologic response and increased risk for hepatic decompensation or death when treated with peginterferon/ribavirin plus either telaprevir or boceprevir. Methods We conducted a post‐hoc analysis of the TURQUOISE ‐ II clinical trial in patients with cirrhosis to examine the impact of these surrogates on efficacy and safety of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir with ribavirin. Results Of 380 genotype 1‐infected patients in TURQUOISE ‐ II , 104 had either a platelet count <100 × 10 9 /L or albumin <3.5 g/dl. Sustained virologic response rates were 89 and 97% in patients with thrombocytopaenia, and 84 and 89% in patients with hypoalbuminaemia after 12 and 24 weeks of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir with ribavirin respectively. These rates were similar to those observed in the overall study population (92 and 97% for 12 and 24 weeks). HCV genotype 1a‐infected patients with thrombocytopaenia or hypoalbuminaemia had higher response rates when treated for 24 weeks, whereas only 1 of 35 genotype 1b patients did not achieve a sustained virologic response. Adverse event rates and discontinuations because of adverse events were low. Conclusions The findings of these analyses support the use of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir with ribavirin in these subpopulations with cirrhosis. Genotype 1a‐infected patients with indicators of portal hypertension may benefit from a 24‐week treatment duration.

description: The naturally weak spin-orbit coupling in Graphene can be largely enhanced by adatom deposition (e.g. Weeks et al. Phys. Rev. X 1, 021001 (2011)). However, the dynamics of the adatoms also induces a coupling between phonons and the electron spin. Using group theory and a tight-binding model, we systematically investigate the coupling between the low-energy in-plane phonons and the electron spin in single-layer graphene uniformly decorated with heavy adatoms. Our results provide the foundation for future investigations of spin transport and superconductivity in this system. In order to quantify the effect of the coupling to the lattice on the electronic spin dynamics, we compute the spin-flip rate of electrons and holes. We show that the latter exhibits a strong dependence on the quasi-particle energy and system temperature.

description: The main purpose of this study is to examine the effects of job satisfaction on employees’

turnover intention in Cooperative Bank of Oromia S.C. The study is conducted using a sequential

transformative mixed research approach with descriptive and explanatory research design. The

primary date is collected using a self-administered structured questionnaire and interview with

the employees of the bank. In addition secondary data is collected from the bank and related

studies. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regressions.

The correlation result revealed that the four job satisfaction factors are negatively and

significantly related to turnover intention of employees’. Among the four job satisfaction factors,

Pay satisfaction is the most predictor to turnover intention of employees’ based on the regression

result. The study recommends that the management of CBO should continuously examine and

improve the existing HR policy and procedure on Pay and benefit structure which can guarantee

continuous satisfaction of employees of the bank and to keep them retained in the bank.

description: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) occurs in 12% to 30% of patients with cirrhosis; however, its prognostic significance is not well studied. We assessed the association of LVH with survival in patients undergoing a liver transplantation (LT) evaluation. We performed a multicenter cohort study of patients undergoing an evaluation for LT. LVH was defined with transthoracic echocardiography. The outcome of interest was all-cause mortality. LVH was present in 138 of 485 patients (28%). Patients with LVH were older, more likely to be male and African American, and were more likely to have hypertension. Three hundred forty-five patients did not undergo transplantation (212 declined, and 133 were waiting): 36 of 110 patients with LVH (33%) died, whereas 57 of 235 patients without LVH (24%) died (P = 0.23). After LT, 8 of 28 patients with LVH (29%) died over the course of 3 years, whereas 9 of 112 patients without LVH (8%) died (P = 0.007). This finding was independent of conventional risk factors for LVH, and all deaths for patients with LVH occurred within 9 months of LT. No clinical or demographic characteristics were associated with mortality among LVH patients. In conclusion, the presence of LVH is associated with an early increase in mortality after LT, and this is independent of conventional risk factors for LVH. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and identify factors associated with mortality after transplantation to improve outcomes.
First-principles phonon calculations of thermal expansion path of Fe2Mo Laves phase

description: Precipitation of the topologically close-packed Fe2Mo Laves phase at the interface between the nuclear fuel and the fuel element cladding can significantly weaken the strength characteristics of the cladding and fuel. Despite the importance of designing materials for the cladding of fuel rods, the thermodynamic properties and the trajectory of the thermal expansion path of the Fe2Mo remain poorly understood. The thermodynamic properties of the Fe2Mo have been studied using the finite-temperature quantum mechanical calculations within the frame of the density functional theory under the quasi-harmonic approximation. The vibrational contribution to the free energy was obtained using phonon calculations. The thermal expansion path of Fe2Mo was predicted by comparing between free energies calculated in different directions. A path with the least energy was chosen as the trajectory of thermal expansion. The obtained result was compared with the path calculated in previous theoretical work used the Debye-Gruneisen approach and accounted magnetic subsystem to calculate the vibrational and magnetic contributions to the free energy. This comparison reveals that these two approaches are in good agreement with each other. The work shows that the Fe2Mo possesses a non-isotropic thermal expansion. The heat capacity and volumetric expansion at constant pressure are modeled. The calculated results analyzed and are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data. Obtained results can be useful for further design of fuel element cladding materials intended for generation IV reactors, the operating temperature of which should be above 873 K.

Tissue factor in antiphospholipid antibody-induced pregnancy loss: a pro-inflammatory molecule
Creators: name: Girardi, G
name: Mackman, N
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Fetal loss in patients with antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) has been ascribed to thrombosis of placental vessels. However, we have shown that inflammation, specifically complement activation with generation of the anaphylotoxin C5a, is an essential mediator of fetal injury. We have analysed the role of tissue factor (TF) in a mouse model of aPL-induced pregnancy loss. TF is the major cellular activator of the coagulation cascade but also has cell signaling activity. Mice that received aPL-IgG showed strong TF staining throughout the decidua and on embryonic debris. This TF staining was not associated with either fibrin staining or thrombi in deciduas. The absence of fibrin deposition and thrombi suggests that TF-dependent activation of coagulation does not mediate aPL-induced pregnancy loss. We found that either blockade of TF with a monoclonal antibody in wild type mice or a genetic reduction of TF prevented aPL-induced inflammation and pregnancy loss indicated a pathogenic role for TF in aPL-induced pregnancy complications. In response to aPL-generated C5a, neutrophils express TF potentiating inflammation in the deciduas and leading to miscarriages. Importantly, we showed that TF in myeloid cells, but not fetal-derived cells (trophoblasts), was associated with fetal injury, suggesting that the site for pathologic TF expression is neutrophils. We found that TF expression in neutrophils contributes to respiratory burst and subsequent trophoblast injury and pregnancy loss induced by aPL. The identification of TF, acting as an important pro-inflammatory mediator in aPL-induced fetal injury, provides a new target for therapy to prevent pregnancy loss in the aPL syndrome.
Thermodynamics of Deposition Flux dependent Intrinsic Film Stress

description: Vapor deposition on polycrystalline films can lead to staggering levels of compressive stress, exceeding even the yield strength of the films. Mysteriously, a significant part of this stress has a reversible nature: it disappears when the deposition is stopped and re-emerges upon resumption. Although numerous mechanisms have been proposed to explain these effects, the origin of the phenomenon remains still unclear. The incorporation of atoms in the grain boundaries is, to our opinion, the most likely mechanism, but the required driving force for it has not yet been addressed. Therefore, instead of searching for a specific (atomic) incorporation process, we analyze, here, the entire film system using thermodynamic arguments only. We find that the tremendous stress levels observed in the experiments can be surprisingly explained by the flux induced entropic effects in the extremely dilute adatom gas on the surface alone. This thermodynamic evaluation delivers not only the necessary basis for the adatom incorporation models, it even shows that the measured stress values can be reached with low deposition fluxes. Finally, fully counterintuitive, we also show that the stress levels decrease, if the barrier(s) for adatoms to reach the grain boundaries are decreased!

description: Here, we report the photoconducting response of field-effect transistors based on three atomic layers of chemical vapor transport grown WSe$_2$ crystals mechanically exfoliated onto SiO$_2$. We find that tri-layered WSe$_2$ field-effect transistors, built with the simplest possible architecture, can display high hole mobilities ranging from 350 cm$^2$/Vs at room temperature (saturating at a value of ~500 cm$^2$/Vs below 50 K) displaying a strong photocurrent response which leads to exceptionally high photo responsivities up to 7 A/W under white light illumination of the entire channel for power densities p < 10$^2$ W/m$^2$. Under a fixed wavelength of $λ$ = 532 nm and a laser spot size smaller than the conducting channel area we extract photo responsitivities approaching 100 mA/W with concomitantly high external quantum efficiencies up to ~ 40 % at room temperature. These values surpass values recently reported from more complex architectures, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides based heterostructures. Also, tri-layered WSe$_2$ photo-transistors display photo response times in the order of 10 microseconds. Our results indicate that the addition of a few atomic layers considerably decreases the photo response times, probably by minimizing the interaction with the substrates, while maintaining a very high photo-responsivity.

description: We solve the field equations of modified gravity for $f(R)$ model in metric formalism. Further, we obtain the fixed points of the dynamical system in phase space analysis of $f(R)$ models, both with and without the effects of radiation. Stability of these points is studied against perturbations in a smooth spatial background by applying the conditions on the eigenvalues of the matrix obtained in the linearized first-order differential equations. Following this, these fixed points are used for analysing the dynamics of the system during the radiation, matter and acceleration dominated phases of the universe. Certain linear and quadratic forms of $f(R)$ are determined from the geometrical and physical considerations and the behaviour of the scale factor is found for those forms. Further, we also determine the Hubble parameter $H(t)$, Ricci scalar $R$ for these cosmic phases. We show the emergence of an asymmetry of time from the dynamics of the scalar field exclusively owing to the $f(R)$ gravity in the Einstein frame that may lead to an arrow of time at a classical level.

description: Abstract: Following the ever-increasing interest in prehistoric violence and warfare, my research aims to reconstruct the sword fighting styles of the Middle and Late Bronze Age in Europe (c. 1650-600 BC), with a particular focus on Britain and Italy. The fighting styles are investigated through an innovative combination of combat experiments, partially based on historical sources, and metalwork wear analysis of archaeological swords from both countries. For the experiments, a new methodology had to be developed, allowing me to record and link the marks created through specific actions during live combat. The experiments were successfully carried out over a number of field days, and a reference database of wear marks was created. As for the wear analysis, existing methodologies were developed further, and analysis was carried out on a total of 110 swords from various British and Italian museums. Over 2300 combat-related wear marks could be identified, and the most detailed list of Bronze Age wear marks to date was created. Comparing the experimental and archaeological marks has enabled me to propose original observations regarding fighting practices and swordsmanship in Middle and Late Bronze Age Europe.

description: We consider top-antitop quark ($t{\bar t}$) production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with subsequent decay into dileptonic and lepton plus jets final states. We present a set of leptonic angular correlations and distributions with which experiments can probe all the independent coefficient functions of the top-spin dependent parts of the $t{\bar t}$ production spin density matrices. We compute these angular correlations and distributions for LHC center-of-mass energies 8, 13, and 14 TeV within the Standard Model at next-to-leading order in the QCD coupling including the mixed QCD-weak corrections and for the transverse top-quark polarization and the $t{\bar t}$ charge asymmetry also the mixed QCD-QED corrections. In addition we analyze and compute the effects of new interactions on these observables in terms of a gauge-invariant effective Lagrangian which contains all operators relevant for hadronic $t{\bar t}$ production up to mass dimension six.

description: Complement plays a major role in inflammation and thrombosis associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). A cross-sectional retrospective analysis was performed to evaluate serum complement fixation on platelets and thrombotic incidence using banked sera and clinical data from patients with SLE (n = 91), SLE with antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) or APS (n = 78) and primary aPL (n = 57) or APS (n = 96). In-situ complement fixation was measured as C1q and C4d deposition on heterologous platelets using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay approach. Platelet activation by patient serum in the fluid phase was assessed via serotonin release assay. Enhanced in-situ complement fixation was associated with the presence of IgG aPL and IgG anti-β2 glycoprotein 1 antibodies (P < 0.05) and increased platelet activation (P < 0.005). Moreover, enhanced complement fixation, especially C4d deposition on heterologous platelets, was positively associated with arterial thrombotic events in patients with SLE and aPL (P = 0.039). Sera from patients with aPL possess an enhanced capacity for in-situ complement fixation on platelets. This capacity may influence arterial thrombosis risk in patients with SLE.
title: Inhibition of parasite growth in chronic Trypanosoma brucei infections
Creators: name: Houston, Julia M.
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Parasitology, Trypanosoma brucei.

description: The objective of this project was to investigate the origin of inhibition of growth of trypanosomes in chronic infections as demonstrated by Turner et al (1996). In order to do so the following strategies were employed; adoptive transfer of splenocytes from chronically-infected to uninfected mice, inhibition of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase activity in vivo followed by infection with Trypanosoma brucei and infection of mice lacking inducible NO synthase activity. The origin of growth inhibition was investigated using spleen cell transfer assays with a view to determining whether a putative inhibitory factor might be of parasite or of host origin. In irradiated recipients, spleen cells from trypanosome-infected donors caused inhibition of growth of subsequent infections but this observation was unreliable in repeat experiments. Inability to display a clear trend may have been due to resident macrophages of the recipient immune system being present and active in recipient mice following irradiation. Any effect upon growth of trypanosomes exerted by transferred macrophages in vivo might perhaps have been masked in recipient mice by resident macrophages. In view of the dearth of literature regarding the actions of macrophage-produced NO upon the growth and survival of trypanosomes, the possible involvement of NO in the phenomenon of growth inhibition was investigated. The production of NO was shown to be increased upon infection with Trypanosoma brucei, but to an extent lower by several orders of magnitude than that demonstrated previously. This was concluded to be due to procedural inaccuracies in the work of others. Inhibition of inducible NO synthase activity was found to be without clear effect upon the growth rate of acute-phase trypanosome infections or inhibition of growth of trypanosomes in chronic infection. A trend toward reduction in growth inhibition was demonstrated in mice which had received the iNOS inhibitor L-NAME but this observation was not repeatable. The use of mice genetically manipulated to lack inducible NO synthase activity also failed to demonstrate any effect of NO upon growth inhibition in chronic infections. A reason for my failure to demonstrate a role for NO in regulation of trypanosome growth could be that L-NAME treatment of mice and iNOS gene deletion were found to be ineffective in achieving a state of significantly reduced NO synthase activity in mice. Hence, whilst there was a failure to demonstrate a role for NO in growth inhibition, a lack of involvement for NO was not demonstrated either.
