description: We extend the study of the light hadron spectrum and the quark mass in two-flavor QCD to smaller sea quark mass, corresponding to $m_{PS}/m_{V}=0.60$--0.35. Numerical simulations are carried out using the RG-improved gauge action and the meanfield-improved clover quark action at $β=1.8$ ($a = 0.2$ fm from $ρ$ meson mass). We observe that the light hadron spectrum for small sea quark mass does not follow the expectation from chiral extrapolations with quadratic functions made from the region of $m_{PS}/m_{V}=0.80$--0.55. Whereas fits with either polynomial or continuum chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) fails, the Wilson ChPT (WChPT) that includes $a^2$ effects associated with explicit chiral symmetry breaking successfully fits the whole data: In particular, WChPT correctly predicts the light quark mass spectrum from simulations for medium heavy quark mass, such as $m_{PS}/m_V \simgt 0.5$. Reanalyzing the previous data %at $m_{PS}/m_{V}=0.80$--0.55 with the use of WChPT, we find the mean up and down quark mass being smaller than the previous result from quadratic chiral extrapolation by approximately 10%, $m_{ud}^{\bar{\rm MS}}(μ=2 {GeV}) = 3.11(17)$ [MeV] in the continuum limit.

description: The origin of the bulk of the astrophysical neutrinos detected by the IceCube Observatory remains a mystery. Previous source-finding analyses compare the directions of IceCube events and individual sources in astrophysical catalogs. The source association method is technically challenging when the number of source candidates is much larger than the number of the observed astrophysical neutrinos. We show that in this large source number regime, a cross-correlation analysis of neutrino data and source catalog can instead be used to constrain potential source populations for the high-energy astrophysical neutrinos, and provide spatial evidence for the existence of astrophysical neutrinos. We present an analysis of the cross-correlation of the IceCube 2010-2012 point-source data and a WISE-2MASS galaxy sample. While we find no significant detection of cross-correlation with the publicly available neutrino dataset, we show that, when applied to the full IceCube data, which has a longer observation time and higher astrophysical neutrino purity, our method has sufficient statistical power to detect a cross-correlation signal if the neutrino sources trace the Large Scale Structure of the Universe.

description: Transverse momentum spectra and yields of hadrons are measured by the PHENIX collaboration in Au + Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 130 GeV at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The time-of-flight resolution allows identification of pions to transverse momenta of 2 GeV/c and protons and antiprotons to 4 GeV/c. The yield of pions rises approximately linearly with the number of nucleons participating in the collision, while the number of kaons, protons, and antiprotons increases more rapidly. The shape of the momentum distribution changes between peripheral and central collisions. Simultaneous analysis of all the p_T spectra indicates radial collective expansion, consistent with predictions of hydrodynamic models. Hydrodynamic analysis of the spectra shows that the expansion velocity increases with collision centrality and collision energy. This expansion boosts the particle momenta, causing the yield from soft processes to exceed that for hard to large transverse momentum, perhaps as large as 3 GeV/c.

Creators: name: Amaka, Joy Obinna
Publisher: name: NOLAND JOURNALS
Year: 2024
Subjects: Interactive Justice, Employee Commitment, Affective Commitment, Normative Commitment, Continuance Commitment and Manufacturing Firms

description: The objective of the study was to examine the impact of interactive justice on employees’ commitment, with focus on manufacturing firms in Rivers State. The study evaluates interactive justice as the dimension while the measures of employee commitment analysed, are affective, normative, and continuance commitment. The explanatory cross-sectional survey research design was adopted for this study. The population of the study consists of nineteen (19) registered manufacturing firms in Rivers State. For the purpose of fairness across the various firms the study adopted random sampling technique in which 10 employees were selected across the various 19 manufacturing firms which gave us a total of 190 respondents. The study adopted a primary source of data. Questionnaires were used to collect data from managers of the manufacturing firms in Rivers State. Structured questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. The research instrument was called “Interactive Justice questionnaire and Employee Commitment. Cronbach alpha was used to test the internal consistency of the instrument that was used for the study. The Cronbach's Alpha value is .877 indicating that the items are reliable hence they were accepted. The data collected from the administration of the instrument on the respondents were hand scored and entered on frequency tables in excel and exported to SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences. The Mean and standard deviations were used to analyses the research variables. Hypotheses were tested using Pearson’s moment correlation statistics at 0.05 significance level. From the analysis of the study, the finding revealed that interactive justice has positive and significant relationship with affective, normative and continuance commitment. The study therefore, concluded that management abilities to foster good interpersonal relationship and effective channel of information to the employees would positively and significantly influence commitment in the organization. The study recommended that management in the Nigerian manufacturing sector should put in place a reward system that will be fair and just to the employees as it will boast the workers' morale to put more work effort and remain with the organization.

title: The Effect of Phosphorus Addition and Cutting Date on the Nutrient Dynamics and Species Composition of Floodplain Meadows
Creators: name: Wotherspoon, Katherine Alice
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: Many studies have investigated the impact of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) on grassland in terms of vegetation production, composition and species richness, however few have investigated the impact of P addition on floodplain meadows and none have addressed the effect of P availability on N mineralization and N uptake. It has been suggested by several researchers that net N mineralization increases with increasing P availability in the soil, which implies the effects of P on vegetation could be in part mediated by N, however this has never been tested directly. This thesis tests the hypothesis that net nitrogen mineralization increases with increasing phosphorus availability in the soil. A replicated P addition experiment in the field has been used in conjunction with performing multiple cuts throughout the growing season to investigate the allied effect of nutrient removal. The biomass harvested was analysed for N and P content to estimate N and P uptake by the vegetation. A laboratory incubation experiment was also used to investigate the effect on N-mineralization rate of adding P to soil cores. The field experiment revealed that the addition of P in combination with N produced a significant increase in vegetation N uptake, and that P was also significant in explaining plant species composition. However, addition of nutrients N and P had no effect on species richness and vegetation community change was driven by temporal changes in water regime. The incubation experiment demonstrated that P addition increased N mineralization in the soil cores where significantly increased levels of NH4+ were detected with increasing P concentration. Above-ground biomass was primarily limited by N, although the increase in N offtake in the treatment that added both P and N indicates co-limitation. The cutting trial revealed that peak nutrient offtake occurred later in the growing season with the addition of P; maximum nutrient removal was mid-June for unfertilized plots and mid-July for P fertilized plots indicating that cutting date may need to be flexible on this vegetation type.

description: We present the detection of the SiO v=0 J=2-1 and J=3-2 lines, and of the HCO 101-000 J=3/2-1/2 F=2-1 line at ambient velocities towards the molecular outflows in L1448-mm and L1448-IRS3. This is the first detection of HCO in a dark cloud. We have also measured lines of H13CO+, H13CN, HN13C, CH3OH, and N2H+. While the HCO and the SiO lines have the narrowest profiles with linewidths of 0.5 km s-1, the other lines have widths of 1km s-1. Towards L1448-mm, all lines except those of SiO and HCO, show two distinct velocity components centered at 4.7 and 5.2 km s-1. HCO is only observed in the 4.7 km s-1 cloud, and SiO in the 5.2 km s-1 component. The SiO abundance is 10E-11 in the 5.2 km s-1 clouds, one order of magnitude larger than in the 4.7 km s-1 component and in other dark clouds. The HCO abundance is 10E-11, similar to that predicted by the ion-molecule reactions models for the quiescent gas in dark clouds. The large change in the SiO/HCO abundance ratio (>150) from the 4.7 to the 5.2 km s-1 component, and the distribution and kinematics of the SiO emission towards L1448-mm suggest that the ambient SiO is associated with the molecular outflows. We propose that the narrow linewidths and the abundances of SiO in the ambient gas are produced by the interaction of the magnetic and/or radiative precursors of the shocks with the clumpy pre-shocked ambient gas.

description: Alcohol-related physical violence (ARPV) can be a causal consequence of alcohol consumption, but only for specific individuals (e.g., those predisposed to violence). Studies have not accounted for the shared etiology explaining comorbidity between alcohol use and violent behavior as a potential third-variable explanation of ARPV. The current study examined genetically-informed associations between ARPV, heavy alcohol use (HAU) and overall physical violence (OPV) in adolescence and young adulthood, by testing two proposed theories of ARPV processes (HAU causes ARPV, causal relationships depend upon OPV) and how overarching shared covariance may account for these associations. Using the twin and sibling subsample from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), a series of biometric models tested hypotheses individually in adolescence and young adulthood. This included estimating bivariate Cholesky and direction-of-causality models, and trivariate Cholesky, independent pathway, and common pathway models. HAU had a causal effect on ARPV in adolescence and young adulthood. This effect was not moderated by OPV at either developmental stage. A shared etiology or common latent factor did not explain associations between ARPV, OPV, and HAU, even though ARPV strongly covaried independently with HAU and with OPV. Finally, OPV also had a causal effect on ARPV in adolescence, and in young adulthood for adolescent-onset drinkers. Causal theories of ARPV still hold when accounting for shared genetic and environmental variance. Further research on the exact role of violence (predispositions, environmental contexts) is required, as both phenotypes substantially (and separately) explain influences driving ARPV.

Global governance : three futures

Publisher: name: International Studies Review
Year: 2023

description: Since the end of Cold War, three sets of actors have produced change in global governance, change that could be threatening and transformative for existing global governance institutions and the future of international cooperation. Three alternative futures have emerged: fragmentation, stagnation, and transformation. Emerging powers—and some established powers—have promoted new regional institutions that offer useful competition but also the threat of fragmentation. Divergence of preferences between emerging and incumbent powers have also produced stagnation, but the greatest threat of stagnation has come with the rise of populist and nationalist movements that have now found a voice in two powerful countries, the U.S. and the U.K. Finally, non-state and subnational actors have produced new modes of governance, in which national governments and intergovernmental organizations play a reduced, though often strategic role. United States withdrawal from or disruption of global governance would alter the likelihood that these futures will emerge.

description: We present a concise derivation of geometric optics in the presence of axionic fields in a curved space-time. Whenever light can be described via geometric optics (the eikonal approximation), the only difference to the situation without axionic field is the phenomenon of achromatic birefringence. Consequently, redshift of light and distance estimates based on propagating light rays, as well as shear and magnification due to gravitational lensing are not affected by the interaction of light with an axionic field.

description: University food systems are microcosms of the global food system therefore universities should take the initiative to act responsibly as role models for the larger society. University of British Columbia Food System Project (UBCFSP) is an ongoing project developed to make UBC a more sustainable campus. Based on our group’s interpretation of the work done by previous Agricultural Science (AGSC) 450 students, we proceeded by completing a review of relevant literature and revising last year’s educational campaign as means to celebrate UBC’s accomplishments in food systems sustainability. Our hopes are by promoting UBC’s sustainable culture to individual students it will influence their future food choices. We have compiled a set of tools that would be useful in raising awareness and encouraging behaviour change. We organized a campus-wide sustainability thought swap session to generate ideas and involvement in the fair. We researched sustainable media and believe that screening movies about the growth and processing of foods such as "Black Gold" or “Our Daily Bread” would provoke and inspire individuals. We have also created bookmarks, wristbands, and games as educational promotional items. Finally, our group has synthesized several recommendations to UBCFSP collaborators and future AGSC 450 students to follow up and improve the October sustainability fair by: collaborating with Imagine UBC and the centre for Teaching and Academic Growth’s (TAG) to advertise the fair, designing educational games and setting up a souvenir table at the fair. In the long term, we would like to see an increase in sustainable ideas featured throughout UBC’s entire curriculum.

description: Net operating margin per hectare of agricultural land is an economic category representing added value reduced by depreciation and personal expenses. The value of this indicator is noticeably higher in the group of enterprises farming in worse soil and natural conditions. In spite of it the operating economic result per hectare of agricultural land was in the year 2000 in the group of enterprises of the first region 1 756 Sk (economic result per enterprise 466 Sk). The enterprises farming in the second region suffered a loss 1 518 Sk (loss per enterprise 1 052 Sk). Added value decreased in both groups of enterprises, in the first group by 4.3 % (by 94 Sk per 2 100 Sk per hectare of agricultural land) and in the second group by 16.5 % (by 2 479 Sk per 12 517 Sk per hectare of agricultural land). This decrease influenced negatively the development of net operating margin mainly in the group of enterprises farming in better soil and natural conditions.

description: We report low temperature transport measurements on suspended single walled carbon nanotubes (both individual tubes and ropes). The technique we have developed, where tubes are soldered on low resistive metallic contacts across a slit, enables a good characterization of the samples by transmission electron microscopy. It is possible to obtain individual tubes with a room temperature resistance smaller than 40 kOhms, which remain metallic down to very low temperatures. When the contact pads are superconducting, nanotubes exhibit proximity induced superconductivity with surprisingly large values of supercurrent. We have also recently observed intrinsic superconductivity in ropes of single walled carbon nanotubes connected to normal contacts, when the distance between the normal electrodes is large enough, since otherwise superconductivity is destroyed by (inverse) proximity effect. These experiments indicate the presence of attractive interactions in carbon nanotubes which overcome Coulomb repulsive interactions at low temperature, and enables investigation of superconductivity in a 1D limit never explored before.

Regional challenges to global governance
Creators: name: Kahler, Miles
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The latest wave of regional organizations may pose a more serious risk of fragmentation in global governance than earlier regional initiatives. Although these new organizations offer additional resources for global ends, the benefits of specialization, and innovation that could improve global governance, they also risk uncoordinated fragmentation, competition that undermines global norms, and a neglect of important global policy aims. Reinforcing global institutions, building consensus on global purposes and a global-regional division of labor, and establishing informal and formal organizational links between regional and global institutions can offset risks and expand the benefits of the new regionalism.

description: Speech enhancement tasks have seen significant improvements with the advance of deep learning technology, but with the cost of increased computational complexity. In this study, we propose an adaptive boosting approach to learning locality sensitive hash codes, which represent audio spectra efficiently. We use the learned hash codes for single-channel speech denoising tasks as an alternative to a complex machine learning model, particularly to address the resource-constrained environments. Our adaptive boosting algorithm learns simple logistic regressors as the weak learners. Once trained, their binary classification results transform each spectrum of test noisy speech into a bit string. Simple bitwise operations calculate Hamming distance to find the K-nearest matching frames in the dictionary of training noisy speech spectra, whose associated ideal binary masks are averaged to estimate the denoising mask for that test mixture. Our proposed learning algorithm differs from AdaBoost in the sense that the projections are trained to minimize the distances between the self-similarity matrix of the hash codes and that of the original spectra, rather than the misclassification rate. We evaluate our discriminative hash codes on the TIMIT corpus with various noise types, and show comparative performance to deep learning methods in terms of denoising performance and complexity.

Reinforcing global institutions, building consensus on global purposes and a global-regional division of labor, and establishing informal and formal organizational links between regional and global institutions can offset risks and expand the benefits of the new regionalism.
Stochastic theory of relativistic particles moving in a quantum field : influence functional and Langevin equation

description: We treat a relativistically moving particle interacting with a quantum field from an open system viewpoint of quantum field theory by the method of influence functionals or closedtime- path coarse-grained effective actions. The particle trajectory is not prescribed but is determined by the backreaction of the quantum field in a self-consistent way. Coarse-graining the quantum field imparts stochastic behavior in the particle trajectory. The formalism is set up here as a precursor to a first principles derivation of the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac (ALD) equation from quantum field theory as the correct equation of motion valid in the semiclassical limit. This approach also discerns classical radiation reaction from quantum dissipation in the motion of a charged particle; only the latter is related to vacuum fluctuations in the quantum field by a fluctuation-dissipation relation, which we show to exist for nonequilibrim processes under this type of nonlinear coupling. This formalism leads naturally to a set of Langevin equations associated with a generalized ALD equation. These multiparticle stochastic differential equations feature local dissipation (for massless quantum fields), multiplicative noise, and nonlocal particle-particle correlations, interrelated in ways characteristic of nonlinear theories, through generalized fluctuation-dissipation relations.
title: Statistical Emulation for Environmental Sustainability Analysis

description: The potential effects of climate change on the environment and society are many. In order to effectively quantify the uncertainty associated with these effects, highly complex simulation models are run with detailed representations of ecosystem processes. These models are computationally expensive and can involve computer runs of several days for their outputs. Computationally cheaper models can be obtained from large ensembles of simulations using a statistical emulation. The purpose of this thesis is to construct cheaper computational models (emulators) from simulation outputs of Lund-Potsdam-Jena-managed Land (LPJmL) which is a dynamic global vegetation and crop model. This research work is part of a project called ERMITAGE. The project links together several key component models into a common framework to better understand how the management and interaction of land, water and the earth’s climate system could be improved. The thesis focuses specifically on emulation of major outputs from the LPJmL model; carbon fluxes (NPP, carbon loss due to heterotrophic respiration and fire carbon) and potential crop yields (cereal, rice, maize and oil crops). Future decadal changes in carbon fluxes and crop yields are modelled as linear functions of climate change and other relevant variables. The emulators are constructed using a combination of statistical techniques of stepwise least squares regression, principal component analysis, weighted least squares regression, censored regression and Gaussian process regression. Further modelling involves sensitivity analyses to identify the relative contribution of each input variable to the total output variance. This used the Sobol global sensitivity method. The data cover the period 2001-2100 and comprise climate scenarios of several GCMs and RCPs. Under cross validation the percentage of variance explained ranges from 52-96% for carbon fluxes, 60-88% for the rainfed crops and 62-93% for the irrigated crops, averaged over climate scenarios.

The thickness of the chorions in chg.l+/+ and in chg.l−/− females was measured using TEM micrographs. Fifteen different portions of each chorion in two chg.l+/+ oocytes and two chg.l−/− oocytes were selected. The measurements of chorion thickness were analyzed by a student paired t-test (t-Test Calculator: https://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/ttest1.cfm ). The average chorion thicknesses were 17.65 ± 1.75 μm for oocyte1 (chg.l+/+); 16.16 ± 1.41 μm for oocyte2 (chg.l+/+); 2.568 ± 1.03 μm for oocyte3 (chg.l−/−); and 2.568 ± 1.03 μm for oocyte4 (chg.l−/−).
Kink-boundary collisions in a two dimensional scalar field theory

description: In a two-dimensional toy model, motivated from five-dimensional heterotic M-theory, we study the collision of scalar field kinks with boundaries. By numerical simulation of the full two-dimensional theory, we find that the kink is always inelastically reflected with a model-independent fraction of its kinetic energy converted into radiation. We show that the reflection can be analytically understood as a fluctuation around the scalar field vacuum. This picture suggests the possibility of spontaneous emission of kinks from the boundary due to small perturbations in the bulk. We verify this picture numerically by showing that the radiation emitted from the collision of an initial single kink eventually leads to a bulk populated by many kinks. Consequently, processes changing the boundary charges are practically unavoidable in this system. We speculate that the system has a universal final state consisting of a stack of kinks, their number being determined by the initial energy.

description: A set of equations of state obtained from finite-range Gogny forces and momentum-dependent interactions is used to investigate the recent observation of gravitational waves from the binary neutron star merger GW170817 event. For this set of interactions, we have calculated the neutron star tidal deformabilities (related to the second Love number), the mass-radius diagram, and the moment of inertia~($I$). The $I$-Love relation has been verified. We also have found strong correlations among the tidal deformability of the canonical neutron star, its radius, and the derivatives of the nuclear symmetry energy at the saturation density. Most of the obtained results are located within the constraints of the tidal deformabilities extracted from the GW170817 detection.

Uniformly accelerated charge in a quantum field : from radiation reaction to unruh effect
Creators: name: Johnson, Philip

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: We present a stochastic theory for the nonequilibrium dynamics of charges moving in a quantum scalar field based on the worldline influence functional and the close-time-path (CTP or in-in) coarse-grained effective action method. We summarize (1) the steps leading to a derivation of a modified Abraham- Lorentz-Dirac equation whose solutions describe a causal semiclassical theory free of runaway solutions and without pre-acceleration patholigies, and (2) the transformation to a stochastic effective action which generates Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac-Langevin equations depicting the fluctuations of a particle’s worldline around its semiclassical trajectory. We point out the misconceptions in trying to directly relate radiation reaction to vacuum fluctuations, and discuss how, in the framework that we have developed, an array of phenomena, from classical radiation and radiation reaction to the Unruh effect, are interrelated to each other as manifestations at the classical, stochastic and quantum levels. Using this method we give a derivation of the Unruh effect for the spacetime worldline coordinates of an accelerating charge. Our stochastic particle-field model, which was inspired by earlier work in cosmological backreaction, can be used as an analog to the black hole backreaction problem describing the stochastic dynamics of a black hole event horizon.
