A Class of Inert N-tuplet Models with Radiative Neutrino Mass and Dark Matter

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

description: We present a class of models with radiative neutrino mass and stable dark-matter candidates. Neutrino mass is generated by a one-loop diagram with the same topography as Ma's 2006 proposal (which used an inert scalar-doublet and singlet fermion). We generalize this approach and determine all variants with new fields no larger than the adjoint representation. When the neutrino mass diagram contains a Majorana mass insertion there are two possibilities, both of which are known. If the mass insertion is of the Dirac type there are seven additional models, two of which are excluded by direct-detection experiments. The other five models are also constrained, such that only scalar dark-matter is viable. There are cases with an inert singlet, an inert doublet, and an inert triplet, providing a natural setting for inert N-tuplet models of dark matter, with the additional feature of achieving radiative neutrino mass. We show that some of the models admit a simple explanation for the (requisite) discrete symmetry, and briefly discuss cases with representations larger than the adjoint, which can admit a connection to the astrophysical gamma-ray signal.

description: Using the wide multi-band photometry available in the COSMOS field we explore the host galaxy properties of a large sample of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) obtained by combining X-ray and optical spectroscopic selections. Based on a careful study of their Spectral Energy Distribution (SED), which has been parametrized using a 2-component (AGN+galaxy) model fit, we derived dust-corrected rest-frame magnitudes, colors, stellar masses and star formation rates (SFRs). We find that AGN hosts span a large range of stellar masses and SFRs. No color-bimodality is seen at any redshift in the AGN hosts, which are found to be mainly massive, red galaxies. Once accounting for the color-mass degeneracy in well defined mass-matched samples, we find a residual marginal enhancement of AGN incidence in redder galaxies with lower specific star formation rates, and we argue that this result might emerge because of our ability to properly account for AGN light contamination and dust extinction. Interestingly, we find that the probability for a galaxy to host a black hole growing at any given "specific accretion rate" (i.e. the ratio of X-ray luminosity to the host stellar mass) is almost independent of the host galaxy mass, while it decreases as a power-law with Lx/M. By analyzing the normalization of such probability distribution, we show how the incidence of AGN increases with redshift as rapidly as (1+z)^4, in close resemblance with the overall evolution of the specific star formation rate of the entire galaxy population. Although AGN activity and star formation in galaxies do appear to have a common triggering mechanism, at least in a statistical sense, within the COSMOS sample we do not find strong evidence of any 'smoking gun' signaling powerful AGN influence on the star-forming properties of their hosts galaxies.

Unravelling pedagogy: The role of technology in shaping IT academics’ perceptions and application of teaching philosophy
Creators: name: SELENA JANE FIRMIN
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Advancements in technology provide new possibilities for learning and teaching. This brings a need to understand the mystique of pedagogy and the innovative potential of technology to support student centred learning approaches. Interviews of 25 IT academics were analysed using Straussian Grounded Theory. Four categories emerged from the data: pedagogical development, teaching practice, technology adoption and techno-pedagogical practice. These categories formed the basis of a substantive theory of techno-pedagogical practice. This theory helps to demystify the many ways technology influences IT academics’ pedagogy, and the complex relationship between practice, pedagogy and technology.

description: In this dissertation, we address the challenges of building a context storage management system (CSMS) as a core component of the Context as a Service (CoaaS) platform. The requirements to context query processing time, service discovery and selection, data encapsulation and overall efficiency determine the need for organizing an internal horizontally scalable and high-performing storage subsystem as a part of CoaaS platform. This research is concerned with how to architect a scalable context storage management system that can cost-efficiently and effectively respond to context queries from CoaaS platform, maintain the agreed quality of service, and provide proactive adaptation and caching.

description: The possibility of using electron beam phase space manipulations to support a free-electron laser accelerator design optimization has motivated our research. An on-going program demonstrating the exchange of transverse horizontal and longitudinal emittances at the Fermilab A0 photoinjector has benefited recently from the upgrade of several of the key diagnostics stations. Accurate measurements of these properties upstream and downstream of the exchanger beamline are needed. Improvements in the screen resolution term and reduced impact of the optical system's depth-of-focus by using YAG:Ce single crystals normal to the beam direction will be described. The requirement to measure small energy spreads (<10 keV) in the spectrometer and the exchange process which resulted in bunch lengths less than 500 fs led to other diagnostics performance adjustments and upgrades as well. A longitudinal to transverse exchange example is also reported.

description: This research is the first to propose a nationwide protocol, the Community Oral History Collections’ Development Protocol, to develop and manage local community oral history collections in Malaysia. In Malaysia, the shortage of documentation from previous authorities and colonial powers has accelerated the need for oral history to be used as a method to capture valuable untold community stories. This research interprets current oral history practices from the perspectives of oral history practitioners and cultural institution professionals in Malaysia. The Mediated Recordkeeping: Culture-as-evidence model was used to interpret the practices, and the study found ways to extend this model to reflect oral history practices.

description: The implementation of health information systems (HIS) faces significant challenges in developing countries due to complex socio-technical interactions in the healthcare context. Unfortunately, most HIS literature focuses on identifying successful or inhibiting factors, which usually fail to reveal facts that HIS implementations are fluid over space and time. This thesis studies the adoption and implementation of HIS in two districts in Indonesia. The objective of this study is to understand how socio-technical factors shape each other and influence the stability of the implementation. This approach allows researchers to understand the essential component of HIS evaluations: content, context, process and outcome.

description: This paper introduces the concept of adaptive temporal compressive sensing (CS) for video. We propose a CS algorithm to adapt the compression ratio based on the scene's temporal complexity, computed from the compressed data, without compromising the quality of the reconstructed video. The temporal adaptivity is manifested by manipulating the integration time of the camera, opening the possibility to real-time implementation. The proposed algorithm is a generalized temporal CS approach that can be incorporated with a diverse set of existing hardware systems.

description: The lack of women in the computing industry in Australia, and in many western countries, is a problem that has been recognised by academics, the industry and governments. Over the last 20 years there have been many attempts to redress this gender imbalance via intervention programs aimed at increasing female participation in computing education and ultimately the computing profession. However statistics show no improvement in the rate of participation of females in this industry and anecdotal evidence suggests that these intervention programmes have not been as successful or effective as was anticipated. Evaluation could determine the effectiveness of such programmes yet only limited evaluations appear in the literature about intervention programmes established to encourage females in computing. This thesis sought to investigate how these types of intervention programmes should be evaluated.

The research was divided into three phases. The first phase involved theory building through an extensive review of the literature related to intervention programmes for women and computing,and of the theory of evaluation. Based on the logic model for evaluation, an initial framework was developed that represents a theory of effective programme evaluation. […]

description: In this thesis, we seek an answer to the question “What features of a software system impact the effectiveness of Automated Test Suite Generation (ATSG) techniques?” Once these features are identified, can they be used to select the most effective ATSG technique (ATSGT) for a particular software system? To this end, we have implemented the META tool (Mapping the Effectiveness of Test Automation), a new framework that identifies important software features that can be used to select suitable ATSG techniques to apply to new software systems. META is an alternative to the current methodology used to assess ATSGT performance.

description: This paper describes and illustrates the use of ensemble-based docking, i.e., using a collection of protein structures in docking calculations for hit discovery, the exploration of biochemical pathways and toxicity prediction of drug candidates. We describe the computational engineering work necessary to enable large ensemble docking campaigns on supercomputers. We show examples where ensemble-based docking has significantly increased the number and the diversity of validated drug candidates. Finally, we illustrate how ensemble-based docking can be extended beyond hit discovery and toward providing a structural basis for the prediction of metabolism and off-target binding relevant to pre-clinical and clinical trials.
Ground States of Fermionic lattice Hamiltonians with Permutation Symmetry

description: We study the ground states of lattice Hamiltonians that are invariant under permutations, in the limit where the number of lattice sites, N -> \infty. For spin systems, these are product states, a fact that follows directly from the quantum de Finetti theorem. For fermionic systems, however, the problem is very different, since mode operators acting on different sites do not commute, but anti-commute. We construct a family of fermionic states, \cal{F}, from which such ground states can be easily computed. They are characterized by few parameters whose number only depends on M, the number of modes per lattice site. We also give an explicit construction for M=1,2. In the first case, \cal{F} is contained in the set of Gaussian states, whereas in the second it is not. Inspired by that constructions, we build a set of fermionic variational wave functions, and apply it to the Fermi-Hubbard model in two spatial dimensions, obtaining results that go beyond the generalized Hartree-Fock theory.

description: We analyze the equilibrium fluctuations of the density, current and tagged particle in symmetric exclusion with a slow bond. The system evolves in the one-dimensional lattice and the jump rate is everywhere equal to one except at the slow bond where it is $αn^-β$, where $α,β\geq{0}$ and $n$ is the scaling parameter. Depending on the regime of $β$, we find three different behaviors for the limiting fluctuations whose covariances are explicitly computed. In particular, for the critical value $β=1$, starting a tagged particle near the slow bond, we obtain a family of gaussian processes indexed in $α$, interpolating a fractional brownian motion of Hurst exponent 1/4 and the degenerate process equal to zero.

description: The quadratic Veronese embedding $ρ$ maps the point set $P$ of $\PG{n,F)$ into the point set of $PG({n+2 \choose 2}-1, F$ ($F$ a commutative field) and has the following well-known property: If $M\subset P$, then the intersection of all quadrics containing $M$ is the inverse image of the linear closure of $M^ρ$. In other words, $ρ$ transforms the closure from quadratic into inear. In this paper we use this property to define "quadratic embeddings". We shall prove that if $ν$ is a quadratic embedding of $PG{n,F)$ into $PG(n',F')$ ($F$ a commutative field), then $ρ^{-1}ν$ is dimension-preserving. Moreover, up to some exceptional cases, there is an injective homomorphism of $F$ into $F'$. An additional regularity property for quadratic embeddings allows us to give a geometric characterization of the quadratic Veronese embedding.

description: Peatland wildfires frequently occurring in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia is a damaging environmental problem on a global scale. To alleviate the occurrence of peatland wildfires, it is important to ensure that hotspots do not escalate into wildfires in the first place. However, insufficient historical data has become a challenge in building a data-driven model of fire escalation in peatlands. This thesis proposes workflow to quantify the causal relationship amongst factors contributing to the peatland fire escalation. The result shows that automated predictive hotspot escalation model can be developed purely using a knowledge driven approach by engaging experts through workshops and surveys.

description: We measure apparent velocities (v_app) of absorption lines for 36 white dwarfs (WDs) with helium-dominated atmospheres -- 16 DBAs and 20 DBs -- using optical spectra taken for the European Southern Observatory SN Ia progenitor survey (SPY). We find a difference of 6.9+/-6.9 km/s in the average apparent velocity of the H-alpha lines versus that of the HeI 5876AA for our DBAs. This is a measure of the blueshift of this He line due to pressure effects. By using this as a correction, we extend the gravitational redshift method employed by Falcon et al. (2010) to use the apparent velocity of the HeI 5876AA line and conduct the first gravitational redshift investigation of a group of WDs without visible hydrogen lines. We use biweight estimators to find an average apparent velocity, _BI, (and hence average gravitational redshift, _BI) for our WDs; from that we derive an average mass, _BI. For the DBAs, we find _BI = 40.8+/-4.7 km/s and derive _BI = 0.71 +0.04 -0.05 Msun. Though different from of DAs (32.57 km/s) at the 91% confidence level and suggestive of a larger DBA mean mass than that for normal DAs derived using the same method (0.647 +0.013 -0.014 Msun; Falcon et al. 2010), we do not claim this as a stringent detection. Rather, we emphasize that the difference between _BI of the DBAs and of normal DAs is no larger than 9.2 km/s, at the 95% confidence level; this corresponds to roughly 0.10 Msun. For the DBs, we find ^He_BI = 42.9+/-8.49 km/s after applying the blueshift correction and determine _BI = 0.74 +0.08 -0.09 Msun. The difference between ^He_BI of the DBs and of DAs is less than or equal to 11.5 km/s (~0.12 Msun), at the 95% confidence level. The gravitational redshift method indicates much larger mean masses than the spectroscopic determinations of the same sample by Voss et al. (2007)...

description: The research enables a wide range of designers to engage in the speculative prototyping and presentation of new digital media that addresses the divide between the physical and virtual, known as Computational Costume. This work has emerged from investigations into: the support of interactors' spatial memory on screen-based devices; ways of supporting interactors' across a range of media by interviewing a range of experienced designers and communicators; reviewing advancements from screen-based devices to ubiquitous and tangible computing; and developing an accessible speculative design process using lo-fi physical materials to imagine wearable virtual identities that ground interactions through digital media.

description: The processes that form transition disks - disks with depleted inner regions - are not well understood; possible scenarios include planet formation, grain growth and photoevaporation. Disks with spatially resolved dust holes are rare, but, in general, even less is known about the gas structure. The disk surrounding A0 star Oph IRS 48 in the nearby Rho Ophiuchus region has a 30 AU radius hole previously detected in the 18.7 micron dust continuum and in warm CO in the 5 micron fundamental ro-vibrational band. We present here Submillimeter Array 880 micron continuum imaging resolving an inner hole. However, the radius of the hole in the millimeter dust is only 13 AU, significantly smaller than measured at other wavelengths. The nesting structure of the disk is counter-intuitive, with increasingly large radii rings of emission seen in the millimeter dust (12.9 +1.7/-3.4 AU), 5 micron CO (30 AU) and 18.7 micron dust (peaking at 55 AU). We discuss possible explanations for this structure, including self-shadowing that cools the disk surface layers, photodissociation of CO, and photoevaporation. However, understanding this unusual disk within the stringent multi-wavelength spatial constraints will require further observations to search for cold atomic and molecular gas.

The stellar populations of massive galaxies in the local Universe

description: I present a brief review of the stellar population properties of massive galaxies, focusing on early-type galaxies in particular, with emphasis on recent results from the ATLAS3D Survey. I discuss the occurrence of young stellar ages, cold gas, and ongoing star formation in early-type galaxies, the presence of which gives important clues to the evolutionary path of these galaxies. Consideration of empirical star formation histories gives a meaningful picture of galaxy stellar population properties, and allows accurate comparison of mass estimates from populations and dynamics. This has recently provided strong evidence of a non-universal IMF, as supported by other recent evidences. Spatially-resolved studies of stellar populations are also crucial to connect distinct components within galaxies to spatial structures seen in other wavelengths or parameters. Stellar populations in the faint outer envelopes of early-type galaxies are a formidable frontier for observers, but promise to put constraints on the ratio of accreted stellar mass versus that formed 'in situ' - a key feature of recent galaxy formation models. Galaxy environment appears to play a key role in controlling the stellar population properties of low mass galaxies. Simulations remind us, however, that current day galaxies are the product of a complex assembly and environment history, which gives rise to the trends we see. This has strong implications for our interpretation of environmental trends.

Gated communities as public entities
Creators: name: Stransky, Dennis W.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2000

description: Gated Communities as Public Entities identifies these organizations as phenomena of recent land development practices. The topics discussed include the history of private dwelling associations, the makeup of these organizations, and the parallels between them and their larger, public counterparts. Specific areas such as taxes, infrastructure, codes covenants and restrictions, and law enforcement are discussed in detail. Gated Communities have become a large part of the available housing choices for many homebuyers. Approximately one-third of the homes constructed today are part of private associations created as various forms of private corporations. The laws related to the creation of private corporations vary extensively from state to state. The states of Nevada and California are emphasized but are not necessarily typical. The state legislature in Nevada is now looking over the walls into private communities and they are becoming less and less private. Social aspects of living behind gates are discussed. There are reasons for secluding ourselves from others, but the most common reason given is security. In other words, fear of our neighbors. Among the social issues related to gated communities are the effects on the children who grow up in them. There is only speculation at this time since the high-density, low-cost, common interest developments that appear to be affecting them are relatively new in concept. McKenzie refers to children in common interest developments when he says, "different lessons are being learned and the generations of children are "going to school" on the streets of a new kind of city." Since this is an early writing on the subject, the results of what has been observed in modern common interest development will only be determined over time.
