description: This research paper explores the use of blockchain based solutions in the remittance industry to decrease transfer fees and time period of sending remittance. The remittance industry is growing at a steady rate providing food and shelter to millions of people all over the world. The remittance fees and time period of sending remittance, however, hasn’t decreased much even with all the innovation in the internet and technology. A revolutionary technology called Blockchain was introduced through the release of Bitcoin, in the Bitcoin white paper by Satoshi Nakamoto. The applicability of the technology was only limited to cryptocurrencies until 2012. In 2012, a group of software programmers published a white paper on Ripple, a real-time gross settlement system, currency exchange and remittance network. Ripple first demonstrated that blockchain technology could be used to derive solutions in the remittance sector as well. This study focused on exploring the use of blockchain technology in the remittance sector through surveys and cases studies. The survey, participated by 97 respondents showed that the use of blockchain based solutions can help decrease the transfer fees and time period of sending remittance significantly.

description: We further examine the capability of the 7 and 8 TeV LHC to explore the parameter space of the p(henomenological)MSSM with neutralino LSPs. Here we present an updated study employing all of the relevant ATLAS SUSY analyses, as well as all relevant LHC non-MET searches, whose data were publically available as of mid-September 2012. We find that roughly 1/3 of our pMSSM model points are excluded at present with an important role being played by both the heavy flavor and multi-lepton searches, as well as those for heavy stable charged particles. Nonetheless, we find that light gluinos, 1st/2nd generation squarks, and stop/sbottoms (\lsim 400-700 GeV), as well as models with 1% fine-tuning or better, are still viable in the pMSSM. In addition, we see that increased luminosity at 8 TeV is unlikely to significantly improve the reach of the "vanilla" searches. The impact of these null searches on the SUSY sparticle spectrum is discussed in detail and the implications of these results for models with low fine-tuning, a future lepton collider and dark matter searches are examined.

description: We describe a methodology to accurately compute halo mass functions, progenitor mass functions, merger rates and merger trees in non-cold dark matter universes using a self-consistent treatment of the generalized extended Press-Schechter formalism. Our approach permits rapid exploration of the subhalo population of galactic halos in dark matter models with a variety of different particle properties or universes with rolling, truncated, or more complicated power spectra. We make detailed comparisons of analytically derived mass functions and merger histories with recent warm dark matter cosmological N-body simulations, and find excellent agreement. We show that, once the accretion of smoothly distributed matter is accounted for, coarse-grained statistics such as the mass accretion history of halos can be almost indistinguishable between cold and warm dark matter cases. However, the halo mass function and progenitor mass functions differ significantly, with the warm dark matter cases being strongly suppressed below the free-streaming scale of the dark matter. We demonstrate the importance of using the correct solution for the excursion set barrier first-crossing distribution in warm dark matter - if the solution for a flat barrier is used instead the truncation of the halo mass function is much slower, leading to an overestimate of the number of low mass halos.

Search for direct slepton and gaugino production in final states with two leptons and missing transverse momentum with the ATLAS detector in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: A search for the electroweak pair production of charged sleptons and weak gauginos decaying into final states with two leptons is performed using 4.7 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s)=7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant excesses are observed with respect to the prediction from Standard Model processes. In the scenario of direct slepton production, if the sleptons decay directly into the lightest neutralino, left-handed slepton masses between 85 and 195 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level for a 20 GeV neutralino. Chargino masses between 110 and 340 GeV are excluded in the scenario of direct production of wino-like chargino pairs decaying into the lightest neutralino via an intermediate on-shell charged slepton for a 10 GeV neutralino. The results are also interpreted in the framework of the phenomenological minimal supersymmetric Standard Model.

description: A moving pellicle superconducting mirror, which is driven by radiation pressure on its one side, and by the Coulomb force on its other side, can become a parametric oscillator that can generate microwaves when placed within a high-Q superconducting Fabry-Perot resonator system. A paraxial-wave analysis shows that the fundamental resonator eigenmode needed for parametric oscillation is the TM011 mode. A double Fabry-Perot structure is introduced to resonate the pump and the idler modes, but to reject the parasitic anti-Stokes mode. The threshold for oscillation is estimated based on the radiation-pressure coupling of the pump to the signal and idler modes, and indicates that the experiment is feasible to perform.

description: In this paper, we constrain CP violation in the Higgs sector using the measured signal strengths in the various Higgs search channels. To this end, we introduce a general parameterization for a resonance which is an admixture of a CP-even Higgs-like state and a CP-odd scalar. By performing a fit to the available data from the Tevatron and LHC experiments one obtains constraints on the mixing angle and the couplings of the resonance to Standard Model fields. Depending on the couplings, sizable mixing angles are still compatible with the data, but small mixing is in general preferred by the fit. In particular we find that a pure CP-odd state is disfavored by the current data at the 3 sigma level. Additionally we consider a mixed fermiophobic resonance and a model with two degenerate mixed resonances and find that both scenarios can successfully fit the data within current errors. Finally, we estimate that the mixing angle can be constrained to α< 1.1 (0.7) in the full 8 TeV (14 TeV) run of the LHC.

After a brief introduction to the formulation of lattice QCD in presence of external fields, we focus on studies regarding the effects of external fields on chiral symmetry breaking, on its restoration at finite temperature and on deconfinement. We conclude with a few comments regarding the effects of electromagnetic background fields on gluodynamics.

description: In their 2005 study, Adamic and Glance coined the memorable phrase "divided they blog", referring to a trend of cyberbalkanization in the political blogosphere, with liberal and conservative blogs tending to link to other blogs with a similar political slant, and not to one another. As political discussion and activity increasingly moves online, the power of framing political discourses is shifting from mass media to social media. Continued examination of political interactions online is critical, and we extend this line of research by examining the activities of political users within the Wikipedia community. First, we examined how users in Wikipedia choose to display (or not to display) their political affiliation. Next, we more closely examined the patterns of cross-party interaction and community participation among those users proclaiming a political affiliation. In contrast to previous analyses of other social media, we did not find strong trends indicating a preference to interact with members of the same political party within the Wikipedia community. Our results indicate that users who proclaim their political affiliation within the community tend to proclaim their identity as a "Wikipedian" even more loudly. It seems that the shared identity of "being Wikipedian" may be strong enough to triumph over other potentially divisive facets of personal identity, such as political affiliation.

description: We study the effect of a single non-magnetic impurity in A$_{y}$Fe$_{2-x}$Se$_{2}$ (A=K, Rb, or Cs) superconductors by considering various pairing states based on a three-orbital model consistent with the photoemission experiments. The local density of states on and near the impurity site has been calculated by solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations self-consistently. The impurity-induced in-gap bound states are found only for attractive impurity scattering potential, as in the cases of doping of Co or Ni, which is characterized by the strong particle-hole asymmetry, in the nodeless $d_{x^2-y^2}$ wave pairing state. This property may be used to probe the pairing symmetry of FeSe-based 122-type superconductors.

description: Dynamical modeling and strong lensing data indicate that the total density profiles of early-type galaxies are close to isothermal, i.e., rho_tot ~ r^gamma with gamma approx -2. To understand the origin of this universal slope we study a set of simulated spheroids formed in isolated binary mergers as well as the formation within the cosmological framework. The total stellar plus dark matter density profiles can always be described by a power law with an index of gamma approx -2.1 with a tendency toward steeper slopes for more compact, lower-mass ellipticals. In the binary mergers the amount of gas involved in the merger determines the precise steepness of the slope. This agrees with results from the cosmological simulations where ellipticals with steeper slopes have a higher fraction of stars formed in situ. Each gas-poor merger event evolves the slope toward gamma ~ -2, once this slope is reached further merger events do not change it anymore. All our ellipticals have flat intrinsic combined stellar and dark matter velocity dispersion profiles. We conclude that flat velocity dispersion profiles and total density distributions with a slope of gamma ~ -2 for the combined system of stars and dark matter act as a natural attractor. The variety of complex formation histories as present in cosmological simulations, including major as well as minor merger events, is essential to generate the full range of observed density slopes seen for present-day elliptical galaxies.

description: After more than a century since its birth, Quantum Theory still eludes our understanding. If asked to describe it, we have to resort to abstract and ad hoc principles about complex Hilbert spaces. How is it possible that a fundamental physical theory cannot be described using the ordinary language of Physics? Here we offer a contribution to the problem from the angle of Quantum Information, providing a short non-technical presentation of a recent derivation of Quantum Theory from information-theoretic principles. The broad picture emerging from the principles is that Quantum Theory is the only standard theory of information compatible with the purity and reversibility of physical processes.

description: The effects of generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) on the inflationary dynamics and the thermodynamics of the early universe are studied. Using the GUP approach, the tensorial and scalar density fluctuations in the inflation era are evaluated and compared with the standard case. We find a good agreement with the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe data. Assuming that a quantum gas of scalar particles is confined within a thin layer near the apparent horizon of the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker universe which satisfies the boundary condition, the number and entropy densities and the free energy arising form the quantum states are calculated using the GUP approach. A qualitative estimation for effects of the quantum gravity on all these thermodynamic quantities is introduced.

Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)

description: In this paper, we present a novel algorithm for piecewise linear regression which can learn continuous as well as discontinuous piecewise linear functions. The main idea is to repeatedly partition the data and learn a liner model in in each partition. While a simple algorithm incorporating this idea does not work well, an interesting modification results in a good algorithm. The proposed algorithm is similar in spirit to $k$-means clustering algorithm. We show that our algorithm can also be viewed as an EM algorithm for maximum likelihood estimation of parameters under a reasonable probability model. We empirically demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by comparing its performance with the state of art regression learning algorithms on some real world datasets.

description: The denaturation transition of circular DNA is studied within a Poland-Scheraga type approach, generalized to account for the fact that the total linking number (LK), which measures the number of windings of one strand around the other, is conserved. In the model the LK conservation is maintained by invoking both overtwisting and writhing (supercoiling) mechanisms. This generalizes previous studies which considered each mechanism separately. The phase diagram of the model is analyzed as a function of the temperature and the elastic constant $κ$ associated with the overtwisting energy for any given loop entropy exponent, $c$. As is the case where the two mechanisms apply separately, the model exhibits no denaturation transition for $c \le 2$. For $c>2$ and $κ=0$ we find that the model exhibits a first order transition. The transition becomes of higher order for any $κ>0$. We also calculate the contribution of the two mechanisms separately in maintaining the conservation of the linking number and find that it is weakly dependent on the loop exponent $c$.

description: A measurement of Bs J/psi phi decay parameters, including the CP-violating weak phase phi_s and the decay width difference Delta Gamma_s is reported, using 4.9 fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected in 2011 by the ATLAS detector from LHC pp collisions at a centre- of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The mean decay width Gamma_s and the transversity amplitudes |A0(0)|^2 and |A||(0)|^2 are also measured. The values reported for these parameters are: phi_s = 0.22 \pm 0.41 (stat.) \pm 0.10 (syst.) rad Delta Gamma_s = 0.053 \pm 0.021 (stat.) \pm 0.010 (syst.) ps-1 Gamma_s = 0.677 \pm 0.007 (stat.) \pm 0.004 (syst.) ps-1 |A0(0)|^2 = 0.528 \pm 0.006 (stat.) \pm 0.009 (syst.) |A||(0)|^2 = 0.220 \pm 0.008 (stat.) \pm 0.007 (syst.) where the values quoted for phi_s and Delta Gamma_s correspond to the solution compatible with the external measurements to which the strong phase delta perpendicular is constrained and where Delta Gamma_s is constrained to be positive. The fraction of S-wave KK or f0 contamination through the decays Bs -> J/psi K+K-(f0) is measured as well and is found to be consistent with zero. Results for phi_s and Delta Gamma_s are also presented as 68%, 90% and 95% likelihood contours, which show agreement with Standard Model expectations.

description: Conventional wisdom indicates that initial memory should decay away exponentially in time for general (noncritial) equilibration processes. In particular, time-integrated quantities such as heat are presumed to lose initial memory in a sufficiently long-time limit. However, we show that the large deviation function of time-integrated quantities may exhibit initial memory effect even in the infinite-time limit, if the system is initially prepared sufficiently far away from equilibrium. For a Brownian particle dynamics, as an example, we found a sharp finite threshold rigorously, beyond which the corresponding large deviation function contains everlasting initial memory. The physical origin for this phenomenon is explored with an intuitive argument and also from a toy model analysis.

description: The quest for the Higgs boson of the Standard Model, which was a cornerstone in the physics programme at particle colliders operating at the energy frontier for several decades, is the subject of this review. After reviewing the formulation of electroweak symmetry breaking via the Higgs mechanism within the Standard Model, the phenomenology of the Higgs boson at colliders and the theoretical and phenomenological constraints on the Standard Model Higgs sector are discussed. General remarks on experimental searches and the methodology of statistical interpretation are followed by a description of the phenomenology of Higgs-boson production and the corresponding precise predictions. The strategies of the experimental searches and their findings are discussed for the Large Electron Positron Collider (LEP) at CERN, the proton-antiproton collider Tevatron at Fermilab, and the proton-proton Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The article concludes with the description of the observation of a Higgs-like boson at the LHC.

description: Controlling the dynamics of Majorana fermions (MF) subject to time-varying driving fields is of fundamental importance for the practical realization of topological quantum computing. In this work we study how it is possible to dynamically generate and maintain the topological phase in one-dimensional superconducting nanowires after the temporal variation of the Hamiltonian parameters. Remarkably we show that for a sudden quench the system can never relax towards a state exhibiting fully developed MF, independently of the initial and final Hamiltonians. Only for sufficiently slow protocols the system behaves adiabatically, and the topological phase can be reached. Finally we address the crucial question of how "adiabatic" a protocol must be in order to manipulate the MF inside the topological phase without deteriorating their Majorana character.

Jet size dependence of single jet suppression in lead-lead collisions at sqrt(s(NN)) = 2.76 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

description: Measurements of inclusive jet suppression in heavy ion collisions at the LHC provide direct sensitivity to the physics of jet quenching. In a sample of lead-lead collisions at sqrt(s) = 2.76 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 7 inverse microbarns, ATLAS has measured jets with a calorimeter over the pseudorapidity interval |eta| < 2.1 and over the transverse momentum range 38 < pT < 210 GeV. Jets were reconstructed using the anti-kt algorithm with values for the distance parameter that determines the nominal jet radius of R = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5. The centrality dependence of the jet yield is characterized by the jet "central-to-peripheral ratio," Rcp. Jet production is found to be suppressed by approximately a factor of two in the 10% most central collisions relative to peripheral collisions. Rcp varies smoothly with centrality as characterized by the number of participating nucleons. The observed suppression is only weakly dependent on jet radius and transverse momentum. These results provide the first direct measurement of inclusive jet suppression in heavy ion collisions and complement previous measurements of dijet transverse energy imbalance at the LHC.

description: We study the ferromagnetic Ising model with long-range interactions in two dimensions. We first present results of a Monte Carlo study which shows that the long-range interactions dominate over the short-range ones in the intermediate regime of interaction range. Based on a renormalization group analysis, we propose a way of computing the influence of the long-range interactions as a dimensional change.

description: Recent observation of pulsar PSR J1614-2230 with mass about 2 solar masses poses a severe constraint on the equations of state (EOS) of matter describing stars under extreme conditions. Neutron stars (NS) can reach the mass limits set by PSR J1614-2230. But stars having hyperons or quark stars (QS) having boson condensates, with softer EOS can barely reach such limits and are ruled out. QS with pure strange matter also cannot have such high mass unless the effect of strong coupling constant or colour superconductivity are taken into account. In this work I try to calculate the upper mass limit for a hybrid stars (HS) having a quark-hadron mixed phase. The hadronic matter (having hyperons) EOS is described by relativistic mean field theory and for the quark phase I use the simple MIT bag model. I construct the intermediate mixed phase using Glendenning construction. HS with a mixed phase cannot reach the mass limit set by PSR J1614-2230 unless I assume a density dependent bag constant. For such case the mixed phase region is small. The maximum mass of a mixed hybrid star obtained with such mixed phase region is $2.01 M_{\odot}$.

description: Water masers are good tracers of high-mass star-forming regions. Water maser VLBI observations provide a good probe to study high-mass star formation and the galactic structure. We plan to make a blind survey toward the northern Galactic plane in future years using 25m radio telescope of Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory. We will select some water maser sources discovered in the survey and make high resolution observations and study the gas kinematics close to the high-mass protostar.

Promotion of Green Electricity: Legal and Political Perspectives (TR)
Creators: name: Artantas, Onur Cagdas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: It is becoming increasingly crucial to increase the share of green electricity in the electricity mix in light of the UN SDGs and the Paris Agreement. The increase in the share of green electricity contributes to GHG emission reduction, environmental protection, and the construction of the circular economy. However, the growth in green electricity generation is not a process without concerns. Problems suchlike, inter alia, rise in demand for commodities, adverse effects on the current account balance, increased land use, and destabilization of the grid should be taken into account. To promote the transition to green electricity, governments utilize a set of subsidies. In this presentation, Dr. Artantaş first examines the main tools of fiscal or regulatory promotion of green electricity. Then, presents the central arguments in the legal literature regarding the position of green electricity promotion in WTO, EU, and Turkish law and discusses their political standings. Finally, he will provide my legislation and policy proposals for the sustainable growth of the green electricity sector.

description: Low-energy structures of alanates are currently known to be described by patterns of isolated, nearly ideal tetrahedral [AlH$_4$] anions and metal cations. We discover that the novel polymeric motif recently proposed for LiAlH$_4$ plays a dominant role in a series of alanates, including LiAlH$_4$, NaAlH$_4$, KAlH$_4$, Mg(AlH$_4$)$_2$, Ca(AlH$_4$)$_2$ and Sr(AlH$_4$)$_2$. In particular, most of the low-energy structures discovered for the whole series are characterized by networks of corner-sharing [AlH$_6$] octahedra, forming wires and/or planes throughout the materials. Finally, for Mg(AlH$_4$)$_2$ and Sr(AlH$_4$)$_2$, we identify two polymeric phases to be lowest in energy at low temperatures.

Technological change and non-intervention, novel indicators and non-measurement (TR)
Creators: name: Turkeli, Serdar
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Responsible and resilient design of technological change and innovation call for early stage engagement and experimentation with relevant stakeholders in each stage of a value chain, which extends to digitizing, financing to marketing actors, for sustainable, multiple value transitions of (energy) systems and transformation of societies. Policy interventions collapse into non-intervention if market and non-market returns on public funding do not involve explicit return on investment and impact targets towards expected socio-economic and socio-ecological outcomes. In this regard, measurement of the speed of transformation among varieties of capital (e.g. from financial capital to human capital; from social capital to natural capital, and back to financial capital) requires more real-time (e.g. complementarily to annual indicators) and contextual (e.g. I/O and process legitimacy of an intervention) measurement and indicators. This challenges traditional measures of socio-economic (e.g. employment effect) and ecological economics (e.g. resource efficiency) measures. Moving forward with novel social (e.g. work satisfaction) and ecological (e.g. occupational health in a livelihood) measures and indicators requires real-time, and contextual measurement, which benefit from both digital and social small data and big data, that help support not rendering the measurement efforts to non-measurement.
Recipes and Ingredients for Neutrino Mass at Loop Level

description: The large hierarchy between the neutrino mass scale and that of the other fermions seems to be unnatural from a theoretical point of view. Various strategies have been devised in order to generate naturally small values of neutrino masses. One of these techniques is neutrino mass generation at the loop level which requires a mechanism, e.g., a symmetry, to forbid the lower order contributions. Here, we study in detail the conditions on this type of symmetries. We put special emphasis on the discrete Z_n symmetries as a simple example but our results can be also extended to more general groups. We find that regardless of the details of the symmetry, in certain cases the existence of a lower order contribution to neutrino masses can be determined by the topology of the diagrams with a given number of loops. We discuss the lepton flavor violating rare decays as well as (g-2)_μin this class of models, which generically appear at the one loop level. Typically the imposed symmetry has important implications for dark matter, with the possibility of stabilizing one or even multiple dark matter candidates.

description: We apply concepts from the quantum measurement theory to obtain some cosmological neutrino background (C$ν$B) properties and discuss their relevance in defining theoretical bounds on cosmological neutrino energy density. Describing three neutrino generations as a composite quantum system through the generalized theory of quantum measurement provides us with the probabilistic correlation between observable energies and neutrino flavor eigenstates. By observing that flavor-averaged and flavor-weighted energies are the quantum observables respectively generated by selective and non-selective quantum measurement schemes, it is possible to identify the constraints on the effective mass value expression that determines the neutrino contribution to the energy density of the cosmic inventory. Our results agree with the quantum mechanics viewpoint that asserts that the cosmological neutrino energy density is obtained from a coherent sum of mass eigenstate energies, for normal and inverted mass hierarchies.

L'Internationalisation de l'enseignement supérieurs à travers le programme ERAMUS + : la bouée de sauvetage pour l'enseignement supérieur en Afrique subsaharienne francophone : cas du Mali
Creators: name: Mamoudou COUMARE
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Au Mali, comme dans la plupart des pays en Afrique subsaharienne francophone, l’enseignement supérieur est dans l’impasse. Il est confronté à des problèmes liés à l’insuffisance des infrastructures d’accueil, par endroits vétustes et inadaptés, la quasi absence de matériels et d’équipements, corrélés à une surpopulation des effectifs d’étudiants sur fond de pénurie de personnel enseignant. Ces facteurs conjugués ont fortement altéré les conditions d’enseignement et d’apprentissage et donc la qualité des produits. Face à cette situation hautement préoccupante, il s’agira pour nos pays de recourir à des alternatives susceptibles de permettre à l’enseignement supérieur de répondre au besoin de développement socio-économique de nos pays. Dans cette perspective, l’internationalisation de l’enseignement supérieur à travers le programme Erasmus + se présente comme « la bouée de sauvetage » pour l’enseignement supérieur dans les pays d’Afrique subsaharienne francophone, notamment au Mali où il est arrivé à un point de saturation. Il apparaît évident qu’aucun pays ne pourra relever seul les défis auxquels le sous-secteur est confronté. Dans ce cas, il s’agira de faire appel à la solidarité internationale à travers les opportunités qu’offre le programme Erasmus+.

description: Solrico has teamed up with IRENA for collecting cost data of a representative number of realised commercial and industrial (C&I) solar heat projects commissioned between 2010 and 2020 in the major solar heat markets worldwide. The aim was to add solar heat for the first time in IRENA´s flagship publication Renewable Power Generation Costs in June 2021. The analysis results in cost charts either in total installed costs (USD/kW) or Levelized Cost of Heat (USD/kWh). The final results of the cost analysis show impressive cost reductions over time in selected markets. The European large-scale plants also have achieved great economies of scale.
