Understanding the large-distance behavior of transverse-momentum-dependent parton densities and the Collins-Soper evolution kernel

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: There is considerable controversy about the size and importance of nonperturbative contributions to the evolution of transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions. Standard fits to relatively high-energy Drell-Yan data give evolution that when taken to lower Q is too rapid to be consistent with recent data in semi-inclusive deeply inelastic scattering. Some authors provide very different forms for TMD evolution, even arguing that nonperturbative contributions at large transverse distance b_T are not needed or are irrelevant. Here, we systematically analyze the issues, both perturbative and nonperturbative. We make a motivated proposal for the parameterization of the nonperturbative part of the TMD evolution kernel that could give consistency: with the variety of apparently conflicting data, with theoretical perturbative calculations where they are applicable, and with general theoretical nonperturbative constraints on correlation functions at large distances. We propose and use a scheme- and scale-independent function A(b_T) that gives a tool to compare and diagnose different proposals for TMD evolution. We also advocate for phenomenological studies of A(b_T) as a probe of TMD evolution. The results are important generally for applications of TMD factorization. In particular, they are important to making predictions for proposed polarized Drell-Yan experiments to measure the Sivers function.

The study employed a descriptive method. The study involved 54 kindergarten teachers in the division in accomplishing the 12-item self-assessment instrument. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results revealed that kindergarten teachers have a high level of competencies in content knowledge and pedagogy, learning environment and diversity of learners, curriculum and planning, and assessment and reporting. These indicate that they possess almost all of the competencies of efficient teachers. Results further revealed a very high extent of professional needs in content knowledge and pedagogy and the learning environment and diversity of learners, while they had a high extent of professional needs in the remaining domains. Since they reported very high priorities in content knowledge and pedagogy and the learning environment and diversity of learners, these areas would be the main considerations in the crafting of a professional development plan.

description: El síndrome del manguito rotador es una importante causa de omalgia que genera limitación funcional y alteración en la calidad de vida. Los tratamientos tradicionales con medicamentos antiinflamatorios solo producen mejoría sintomática a corto plazo y, en muchas ocasiones, limitan los procesos naturales de reparación tisular. En el presente caso, se reporta la experiencia de la administración de Traumeel S tanto oral como infiltrado, en una paciente con síndrome del manguito rotador con ruptura parcial del tendón infraespinoso. Se utilizó una novedosa técnica de infiltración a nivel intra fascial bajo guía ecográfica para mejorar la precisión del tratamiento. Al cabo de 6 meses se evidenció reducción del 90% de dolor, aumento en el rango de movilidad articular del hombro izquierdo entre 30° a 40° y mayor participación en actividades básicas e instrumentales de la vida diaria.

description: The usage of scholarly journal articles in the academe is now gaining attention to cope with the ever dynamic and evolving teaching and learning processes. This paper explored how the teacher education faculty and students utilized scholarly journal articles in the teaching and learning of professional education courses. The study also determined the challenges in using these primary sources and documented ways of overcoming them. Using a narrative inquiry, a focus group discussion with six teacher education faculty and face-to-face interviews with six students was conducted in the College of Education of a state university in Northern Mindanao. Data gathered were analyzed through thematic narrative analysis. Emerging themes revealed that scholarly journal articles were utilized by exposing learners to varied writings, enriching course content and learning, exposing them to process learning, preparing learners for classroom engagement, guiding learners to produce outputs, and allowing learners to acquire updates. The inquiry reported challenges in terms of the capability of the learners, interest and perception of learners, and the journal itself and its contents. Documented ways of overcoming these challenges include time management, frequency of use, selection criteria, and checking the author’s background.

Synergistic Drug Induction in Immunotherapy for Pediatric Cancer: Ewing Sarcoma
Creators: name: Jin, Huizi (Anna)
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Ewing sarcoma is a pediatric bone and soft tissue tumor that lacks effective therapies beyond cytotoxic chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Although immunotherapies are a popular cancer treatment, Ewing sarcoma lacks consistent expression of target antigens. The goal of this project is to discover the critical window for maximum expression of the cancer antigen GD2 on the surface of pediatric tumor cells following the synergistic treatment with two epigenetically targeted drugs, pinometostat (DOT1L inhibitor) and tazemetostat (EZH2 inhibitor). I hypothesize that there is a limited time window in which pinometostat is needed along with tazemetostat for induction of GD2. This study will deepen our lab’s understanding of pinometostat’s role in cooperating with tazemetostat to induce GD2. This knowledge also informs how pinometostat can be used with tazemetostat as an adjunct to pediatric cancer immunotherapy. To address this goal, I will determine the critical time window for pinometostat treatment and understand the gene expression changes in that time frame using RT-qPCR. A total of 3 human cell lines were be used for completing this project. The results and data from this project support my hypothesis that 3 days of pinometostat synergistically with 7 days of tazemetostat produce similar results to 7 days of pinometostat and tazemetostat. These findings narrow the critical time window of pinometostat treatment with tazemetostat in which maximum GD2 expression is shown on the tumor cell surface for CAR-T cell killing. The results give insight into the mechanism of DOT1L inhibition synergizing with EZH2 inhibition. This furthers the use of these combination drugs in clinical trial and may reduce polypharmacy in treatment for pediatric cancer immunotherapy.

description: We investigate a perturbative extension of the Standard Model featuring elementary pseudo-Goldstone Higgs and dark matter particles. These are two of the five Goldstone bosons parametrising the SU(4)/Sp(4) coset space. They acquire masses, and therefore become pseudo-Goldstone bosons, due to the embedding of the Yukawa and the electroweak gauge interactions that do not preserve the full SU(4) symmetry. At the one-loop order the top corrections dominate and align the vacuum in the direction where the Higgs is mostly a pseudo-Goldstone boson. Because of the perturbative and elementary nature of the theory, the quantum corrections are precisely calculable. The remaining pseudo-Goldstone boson is identified with the dark matter candidate because it is neutral with respect to the Standard Model and stable. By a direct comparison with the Large Hadron Collider experiments, the model is found to be phenomenologically viable. Furthermore the dark matter particle leads to the observed thermal relic density while respecting the most stringent current experimental constraints.

description: Cette thèse porte sur l’expérience de sortie de prison des hommes adultes qui, suite à une trajectoire carcérale, passent ou sont passés par une maison de transition située dans la région de l’Outaouais et entament une démarche de réinsertion sociale. En s’appuyant sur des entretiens semi-dirigés auprès de 23 hommes et de 7 intervenants qui les accompagnent, et à l’aide d’un cadre théorique fondé principalement sur le concept de « carrière », cette thèse permet de mettre au jour : a) l’expérience et la trajectoire de sortie de prison des hommes adultes allant de l’entrée dans l’institution carcérale à la maison de transition ; b) une typologie de la « carrière de sortie de prison » fondée sur l’articulation des positions objectives et subjectives des hommes rencontrés dans leur parcours post-carcéral et 3) le point de vue d’intervenants chargés d’accompagner les hommes vers la réinsertion sociale. Les résultats mettent notamment au jour : 1) trois grandes phases de la sortie de prison (l’arrivée en détention, l’incarcération et la transition post-carcérale), lesquelles sont modulées par une pluralité d’épreuves et de moments spécifiques (tels que la réception, l’accueil, la catégorisation, l’introduction, l’assignation d’un agent de probation ou d’un intervenant, l’audience, le transfert, etc.), qui demandent aux sortants de prison plusieurs ajustements et reconfigurations tant sur le plan physique, relationnel que moral ; 2) une typologie de la carrière de sortie de prison articulée autour de cinq positions : le répit, la réflexion, la rétroaction, la révolte et la retraite anticipée et 3) l’ambivalence du travail d’intervention auprès des sortants de prison (entre clinique et probation ; surveillance et aide). L’ensemble de ces résultats permettent de cibler des pistes d’intervention pour l’amélioration des pratiques entourant cette étape de la sortie de prison, encore peu explorée et prise en compte dans la compréhension des trajectoires des personnes judiciarisées.

description: Holistic wellness is vital to sustaining sound mind and healthy body of third-agers. These individuals are considered vulnerable. Previous surveys indicated limited wellness activities among third agers. With this, an extension project was designed and implemented to address this concern. This paper evaluated the impact of the project on the holistic wellness of third-agers and determined its contribution to national and international goals. The result chain framework was used to identify the impact. It gathered data through survey tools and interviews supported by annual reports. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that the university-wide extension project was successful in implementing activities and producing desired outputs. Its outcomes are evidenced in the attainment of its vision, mission, and objectives. As found, the project had a very high impact on the holistic wellness of third agers in each dimension and as a whole. This means that the third-agers have balanced well-being. This paper also highlights the contributions of the project in the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022, ambisyon 2040, and sustainable development goals. In the end, relevant recommendations are specifically articulated for future actions.

description: We classify all possible new scalar particles that can have renormalizable linear couplings to Standard Model fields and therefore be singly produced at colliders. We show that this classification exhausts the list of heavy scalar particles that contribute at the tree level to the Standard Model effective Lagrangian to dimension six. We compute this effective Lagrangian for a general scenario with an arbitrary number of new scalar particles and obtain flavor-preserving constraints on their couplings and masses. This completes the tree-level matching of the coefficients of dimension five and six operators in the effective Lagrangian to arbitrary extensions of the Standard Model.

Introduction: The Field of Ramlila
Creators: name: Lothspeich, Pamela
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: This special issue is intended to briefly introduce the field of Ramlila, as a performance practice and as an idea. It is designed to give a taste of its geographic range and a sample
of its multiple and diverse manifestations in India and the Indian diaspora. The
Introduction briefly discusses the literary sources of Ramlila, its history, chief styles, and
emerging trends. It also includes a synopsis of the story of Ram in Ramlila. Following
this, a translation of three scenes from the Lav-Kush Ramlila in Old Delhi, with a critical
introduction, sheds light on the mounting politicization of Ramlila by the Hindu Right.
Two articles, one on Nautanki and one on Ramayan Gaan, illustrate that Ramlila is a
form of theatre very much in dialogue with other forms of popular performance in the
Hindi belt and along its linguistic borders, narratively, aesthetically, and ideologically. A
review-essay of two documentaries and an interview with an expert on Kumaoni Ramlila
further demonstrate the diversity of Ramayan-themed performance, despite the continued
homogenization and commercialization of Ramlila. An article on a distinctive Ramlila
in Trinidad and another in the United States (North Carolina) speak to the global reach
of Ramlila, and its important role in “homemaking.” Finally, a report on a festival to
commemorate a Ramayan-themed dance drama (wayang wong) at Prambanan recalls
the Ramayan’s early journey from South to Southeast Asia.

description: The principal as a reflective leader plays a critical role in today’s fast-paced school environment. Although the growing role of principals in improving decisions through reflection, few researchers have studied the reflective habits of the minds that involved principals. Hence, the study intends to review existing literature on reflective habits of the minds among principals and to track what was contributed to understanding reflection and its effect on ethical leadership and decision-making. A comprehensive search of major databases was undertaken which identified 32,896 studies on the topic; 13 met the inclusion criteria. Using a systematic literature review, data were extracted and analyzed using thematic analysis. Three themes emerged from the analysis: reflective habits for teaching and learning, reflective habits for professional development, and reflective habits towards authentic and transformational leadership. Studies focused on the heart of the reflective practice of school principals as an instructional leader as a critical tool for learning and professional growth. It also shows the inspiring ways of how authentic and transformational leadership through reflective practice could change the educational system. As a result, the literature review pointed to the following discussion points, which are the areas that require further research: (1) diverse reflective practices among school principals in instructional leadership, (2) continuous reflective professional development activities, and (3) reflection-in-action towards transformational leadership.
Coherent view of crystal chemistry and ab initio analyses of Pb(II) and Bi(III) Lone Pair in square planar coordination

description: The stereochemistry of 6s2 (E) lone pair of divalent Pb and trivalent Bi (PbII and BiIII designated by M*) in structurally related PbO, PbFX (X= Cl, Br, I), BiOX (X= F, Cl, Br, I) and Bi2NbO5F is rationalized. The lone pair LP presence determined by its sphere of influence E, equal to those of oxygen or fluorine anions, was settled by its center then giving M*-E directions and distances. Detailed description of structural features of both elements in the title compounds characterized by [PbEO]n and [BiEO]n layers allowed to show the evolution of M*-E distance versus the changes with the square pyramidal SP coordination polyhedra. All are different, in red PbO one finds {PbEO4E4} square antiprism, a {[Bi.E]O4X4Xapical} monocapped square antiprism in PbFX and BiOX and {BiEO4F4}square antiprism in Bi2NbO5F. To analyze the crystal chemistry results, the electronic structures of these compounds were calculated within density functional theory DFT. Real space analyses of electron localization illustrate a full volume development of the lone pair on PbII within {PbEO4E4} in PbOE, {PbEF4X4} in PbFXE and Bi(III) within {BiEO4X4} square antiprisms, contrary to Bi(III) within {[Bi.E]O4F4Fapical} monocapped square antiprism. Larger hardness (larger bulk modules B0) and band gap characterize BiOF versus PbO due to the presence of F which brings antibonding Bi-F interactions oppositely to mainly bonding Bi-O. In PbFX and BiOX series there is a systematic decrease of B0 with the increasing volume following the nature and size of X which is decreasingly electronegative and increasingly large. The electronic densities of states mirror these effects through the relative energy position and relative electronegativities of F/X and O/X leading to decrease the band gap.

description: The productions of massive gauge bosons, $Z^0$ and $W^+/W^-$, in heavy-ion reactions at the LHC, provide an excellent tool to study the cold nuclear matter effects in high-energy nuclear collisions. In this paper we investigate $Z^0$ and $W^+/W^-$ productions in p+Pb and Pb+Pb at the LHC, at NLO and NNLO with DYNNLO incorporating the nuclear PDFs (nPDFs) parametrization sets EPS09 and DSSZ, within the framework of perturbative QCD. The numerical simulations of the transverse momentum spectra, rapidity dependence, and related nuclear modification factors for $Z^0$ and $W$ particles, as well as the charge asymmetry for W boson, are provided and tested against the latest experimental data. It is found that the theoretical results with EPS09 and DSSZ nPDFs can give good descriptions of the recent data on $Z^0$ and $W^{\pm}$ particles in p+Pb and Pb+Pb within the experimental error bars, though some differences between results with EPS09 and DSSZ can be observed, especially in the rapidity dependence of the $Z^0$ yield. Theoretical predictions for future measurements on $Z^0$ and $W$ in p+Pb and Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC are also provided.

description: The purpose of this experiment is to examine whether party membership in the PRD functions like a social identity, for which we would expect out-group discourse that threatens the moral value/status of the PRD to affect the collective self-esteem of party members. Despite record numbers of party membership in Panama, general trust and sympathy with all of the traditional parties has steadily decreased over the last few decades. We want to understand whether the recent surge in party membership is also leading to resurgent party identification, as this has important implications for political behavior and party strength. We present the design of an online identity threat experiment with approximately 200 members of the Partido Revolucionario Democratico (PRD) in Panama, the largest political party in the country in terms of membership. Each PRD member will see an identity threat Tweet from 1 of 5 opposition leaders or a control tweet from the Electoral Tribunal. We measure the effect of identity threat on Collective Self-esteem and out-party derogation.

Ras and Affect in Ramlila (and the Radheshyam Ramayan)
Creators: name: Lothspeich, Pamela
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: This article gives insight into why verses from the “Radheshyam Ramayan,” an earlytwentieth
century epic poem in Hindi–Urdu by Pandit Radheshyam Kathavachak, have
been so widely adapted in India’s theatre of Ramlila. Through a close reading of
Kathavachak’s chapter/scene “Dhanuṣ-yajña” (The Bow Ritual), and its staging at
one amateur Ramlila in the author’s hometown of Bareilly, this article argues that the
text’s bold, charming dialogues are very much suited to the themes and dramatic styling of
Ramlila. Kathavachak’s vigorous battles of wits between rivals are used to great effect not
only in actual battle scenes, but also in rousing scenes like “The Bow Ritual” where
Lakshman engages in fierce repartee with Parashuram after Ram’s breaking of the bow.
This article also brings together contemporary understandings of the critical terms ras
(also spelled “rasa”) and affect to help explicate this style of theatre.

description: In the recently proposed two-parameter $\tildeμ,q$-deformed Bose gas model [Ukr. J. Phys. {\bf 58}, 1171 (2013), arXiv:1312.1573] aimed to take effectively into account both compositeness of particles and their interaction, the $\tildeμ,q$-deformed virial expansion of the equation of state (EOS) was obtained. In this paper we further explore the $\tildeμ,q$-deformation, namely the version of $\tildeμ,q$-Bose gas model involving deformed distributions and correlation functions. In the model, we explicitly derive the one- and two-particle deformed distribution functions and the intercept of two-particle momentum correlation function. The results are illustrated by plots, and the comparison with known experimental data on two-pion correlation function intercepts extracted in RHIC/STAR experiments is given.

description: Energy transfer from electrons to phonons is an important consideration in any Weyl or Dirac semimetal based application. In this work, we analytically calculate the cooling power of acoustic phonons, i.e. the energy relaxation rate of electrons which are interacting with acoustic phonons, for Weyl and Dirac semimetals in a variety of different situations. For cold Weyl or Dirac semimetals with the Fermi energy at the nodal points, we find the electronic temperature, $T_e$, decays in time as a power law. In the heavily doped regime, $T_e$ decays linearly in time far away from equilibrium. In a heavily doped system with short-range disorder we predict the cooling power of acoustic phonons is drastically increased because of an enhanced energy transfer between electrons and phonons. When an external magnetic field is applied to an undoped system, the cooling power is linear in magnetic field strength and $T_e$ has square root decay in time, independent of magnetic field strength over a range of values.

The Story of Ram in Ramlila
Creators: name: Lothspeich, Pamela
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: There are many versions of the story of Ram, but the story that is told in many Ramlilas, plus or minus some scenes, is fairly consistent and begins long before Ram's birth in the kingdom of Ayodhya. Two backstories entailing twists of fate and curses uttered in rage are often presented to set up the main plot. In the first one, a young Dashrath slays the virtuous and dutiful son Shravankumar in a hunting accident, prompting the latter's blind father to proclaim that the king too will one day be separated from his son and die bereft. In the second backstory, the overly confident sage Narad discovers that Lord Vishnu has "made a monkey out of him" to bring him down a few spiritual notches, leading him to declare that Vishnu too will one day lose his beloved and have to rely on the aid of monkeys to recover her.
Unspeakable Outrages and Unbearable Defilements: Rape Narratives in the Literature of Colonial India

description: 
E.M. Forster was hardly the first writer to broach the subject of rape in the literature of colonial India. This paper considers narratives of rape not only in A Passage to India, but also in three other colonial-era texts: Flora Annie Steel's On the Face of the Waters (1896), a "historical" novel about the Rebellion of 1857, Dinabandhu Mitra's The Blue Mirror(1860), a Bengali play about the abuses of indigo planters in Bengal, and Rameshvar Chaumuval's Bhima's Glory [1935], a Hindi play based on an episode from the epic Mahabharata. Steel's "Mutiny" novel seems to support Fanon's suggestion that if rape is the master trope of imperialism, it should be a colonizing woman raped by colonized man. The two Indian plays, however, contest such a tropology, casting Indian women as victims of aborted rapes, and suggesting that the violation of idealized Indian heroines is tantamount to the rape of Bharat Mata (Mother India). While On the Face of the Watersand A Passage to Indiaallude to unspeakable outrages perpetrated against white women, The Blue Mirror and Bhima's Glory describe the unbearable defilement of Indian women.

description: This deliverable considers the ethical, legal (data protection), social and economic impacts of new and emerging technologies, powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, which we call smart information systems (SIS). In this deliverable, we look forward to the year 2025 to consider how new and emerging technologies may raise various issues, regarding which policymakers and other stakeholders should consider what ethical guidelines, data protection policies and other measures we might need to address the issues now rather than five or six years from now when they may have fewer policy options. We have developed five scenarios, addressing five different technology clusters in five different areas – social care for senior citizens, information warfare, predictive policing, driverless cars and learning buddy robots. We engaged stakeholders in the development of these scenarios. Stakeholder engagement was an important purpose of the scenario construction process. In short, the scenarios are a way of exploring with stakeholders the issues raised by these advanced new technologies and developing recommendations for policymakers for dealing with those issues. This deliverable comprises this executive summary, an introduction, the five scenarios, and conclusions and recommendations.

description: Holistic wellness is vital to sustaining sound mind and healthy body of third-agers. These individuals are considered vulnerable. Previous surveys indicated limited wellness activities among third agers. With this, an extension project was designed and implemented to address this concern. This paper evaluated the impact of the project on the holistic wellness of third-agers and determined its contribution to national and international goals. The result chain framework was used to identify the impact. It gathered data through survey tools and interviews supported by annual reports. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that the university-wide extension project was successful in implementing activities and producing desired outputs. Its outcomes are evidenced in the attainment of its vision, mission, and objectives. As found, the project had a very high impact on the holistic wellness of third agers in each dimension and as a whole. This means that the third-agers have balanced well-being. This paper also highlights the contributions of the project in the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022, ambisyon 2040, and sustainable development goals. In the end, relevant recommendations are specifically articulated for future actions.
Investment in a Thin and Uncertain Market: A Dynamic Study of the Formation and Stability of New Generation Cooperatives

description: Member-owned firms have become increasingly prominent in many industries, including the ethanol industry. Despite an upsurge in the popularity of member-owned firms, especially the new generation cooperatives (NGC's) that now dominate Minnesota's ethanol industry, there has been little research directed toward understanding why NGC's might proliferate in one industry while investor-owned firms are more prevalent in others. There are three main objectives in this study. The first objective is to analyze producer investment in a new generation ethanol cooperative. This study shows that the traditional net present value rule of investing does not provide an adequate model of investment when volatile prices make returns uncertain and when an investment provides significant diversification benefits. An agent's true demand for NGC shares is often well below the investment threshold predicted by the traditional net present value rule. The second is to model the market for stock in NGC's under various assumptions about the stock trading mechanism and to explore the investment and disinvestments decisions of members and the cooperative under each assumption. It is shown that the method by which the stock is traded has an effect on the value of the stock, the liquidity of the stock, and ultimately the ability of the cooperative to form and survive. The third objective is to apply the model to two policy issues that are currently important to the ethanol industry: the threat of takeover of NGC's by investor-owned firms (IOF) and the impact of the ethanol subsidy on the formation and stability of ethanol plants. First, takeovers of NGC's are most likely to occur when the ethanol price and the corn price are both low because IOF's and NGC members respond differently to price risk. With respect to ethanol subsidies, it is shown that removing the ethanol subsidy would result in fewer ethanol plants, but those that do form would most likely be NGC's. Existing NGC's would also be less likely to be taken over by IOF's if the ethanol subsidy were eliminated, although more NGC's would be abandoned by their members.

description: The principal as a reflective leader plays a critical role in today’s fast-paced school environment. Although the growing role of principals in improving decisions through reflection, few researchers have studied the reflective habits of the minds that involved principals. Hence, the study intends to review existing literature on reflective habits of the minds among principals and to track what was contributed to understanding reflection and its effect on ethical leadership and decision-making. A comprehensive search of major databases was undertaken which identified 32,896 studies on the topic; 13 met the inclusion criteria. Using a systematic literature review, data were extracted and analyzed using thematic analysis. Three themes emerged from the analysis: reflective habits for teaching and learning, reflective habits for professional development, and reflective habits towards authentic and transformational leadership. Studies focused on the heart of the reflective practice of school principals as an instructional leader as a critical tool for learning and professional growth. It also shows the inspiring ways of how authentic and transformational leadership through reflective practice could change the educational system. As a result, the literature review pointed to the following discussion points, which are the areas that require further research: (1) diverse reflective practices among school principals in instructional leadership, (2) continuous reflective professional development activities, and (3) reflection-in-action towards transformational leadership.
Multiple Andreev reflections in s-wave superconductor-quantum dot- topological superconductor tunnel junctions and Majorana bound states

description: We calculate the current as a function of applied voltage in non-topological s-wave superconductor-quantum dot-topological superconductor tunnel junction. We consider the type of TS which hosts two Majorana bound states (MBS) at the ends of a semiconductor quantum wire or of a chain of magnetic atoms in the proximity with s-wave superconductor. We find that the $I-V$ characteristic of such system in the regime of big voltages has a typical two dot shape and is ornamented by peaks of multiple Andreev reflections. We also consider the other options when the zero energy states are created by disorder (here by Shiba states) or by Andreev zero energy bound states at the surface of quantum dot and superconductor. The later are obtained by tuning the magnetic field to a specific value. Unlike the last two cases the MBS $I-V$ curves are robust to change the magnetic field. Therefore, the magnetic field dependence of the tunneling current can serve as a unique signature for the presence of a MBS.

Collaborating on the Carceral State: Political Elite Polarization and the Expansion of Federal Crime Legislation Networks, 1979 to 2005
Creators: name: Duxbury, Scott W.
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2024

description: Lawmakers are routinely confronted by urgent social issues, yet they hold conflicting policy preferences, incentives, and goals that can undermine collaboration. How do lawmakers collaborate on solutions to urgent issues in the presence of conflicts? I argue that by building mutual trust, networks provide a mechanism to overcome the risks conflict imposes on policy collaboration. But, in doing so, network dependence constrains lawmakers’ ability to react to the problems that motivate policy action beyond their immediate connections. I test this argument using machine learning and longitudinal analysis of federal crime legislation co-sponsorship networks between 1979 and 2005, a period of rising political elite polarization. Results show that elite polarization increased the effects of reciprocal action and prior collaboration on crime legislation co-sponsorships while suppressing the effect of violent crime rates. These relationships vary only marginally by political party and are pronounced for ratified criminal laws. The findings provide new insights to the role of collaboration networks in the historical development of the carceral state and elucidate how political actors pursue collective policy action on urgent issues in the presence of conflict.
