description: Fast accumulation of large amounts of complex data has created a need for more sophisticated statistical methodologies to discover interesting patterns and better extract information from these data. The large scale of the data often results in challenging high-dimensional estimation problems where only a minority of the data shows specific grouping patterns. To address these emerging challenges, we develop a new clustering methodology that introduces the idea of a regularization path into unsupervised learning. A regularization path for a clustering problem is created by varying the degree of sparsity constraint that is imposed on the differences between objects via the minimax concave penalty with adaptive tuning parameters. Instead of providing a single solution represented by a cluster assignment for each object, the method produces a short sequence of solutions that determines not only the cluster assignment but also a corresponding number of clusters for each solution. The optimization of the penalized loss function is carried out through an MM algorithm with block coordinate descent. The advantages of this clustering algorithm compared to other existing methods are as follows: it does not require the input of the number of clusters; it is capable of simultaneously separating irrelevant or noisy observations that show no grouping pattern, which can greatly improve data interpretation; it is a general methodology that can be applied to many clustering problems. We test this method on various simulated datasets and on gene expression data, where it shows better or competitive performance compared against several clustering methods.

The role of internal corporate communication during organizational acculturation of acquired companies
Creators: name: WONG, Huei Ling Janice
Publisher: name: SMU Research Data Repository (RDR)
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 350710
subject: Organisational behaviour

description: A review of the existing literature on M&A (mergers and acquisitions) pointed to the relevance of internal communication during the integration phase when the cultures of the acquired and acquiring companies interact, a process termed organizational acculturation. Internal corporate communication (ICC) has been conceptualized previously to be the communication between two stakeholder groups: strategic management and employees. As research on ICC in the context of acculturation is limited, this research stems from a curiosity about what the roles of ICC are after an acquisition. It seeks to understand the ways employees of acquired companies respond to ICC as they adapt to another culture, and to find out how they can be better supported during this period of change. This study contributes to the theory development of ICC by providing empirical examination of the phenomenon in real-life settings. It investigates ICC through the perspectives of multiple stakeholders who had experienced M&A by means of a qualitative inductive research. The findings confirm ICC’s cognitive role as a conveyor of information and in uncertainty reduction after an acquisition, but raise questions about its aspirational affective objective to promote a sense of belonging or commitment amongst employees. This is because the interpretation of ICC during acculturation is subjective: the meanings of the ICC co-created by the stakeholders during ICC consumption could turn out differently from, and even contrarily to, the meanings intended by managers during ICC production. In addition, it was found that informal acculturation leaders emerged as an important stakeholder group in ICC. This research offers an alternative perspective to ICC. Although the production of ICC is centrally managed, the consumption of ICC is an interpretive phenomenon that cannot be controlled by management. The results of this study underscore the point that ICC needs to be understood not only as a linear transmission of messages between two stakeholder groups, but also as a dynamic complex phenomenon where meaningmaking takes place constantly through continual formal and informal social interactions amongst multiple stakeholders. The practical implication of this point is that M&A strategic managers and internal communication professionals should not only focus on the production and delivery of ICC. They should also consider the consumption of ICC and provide a conducive participative environment for all stakeholders where the meanings of ICC can be contested, negotiated and constructed.

NGC 5824: a luminous outer halo globular cluster with an intrinsic abundance spread

description: We present a detailed study of the strengths of the calcium triplet absorption lines in the spectra of a large sample of red giant members of the luminous outer Galactic halo globular cluster NGC 5824. The spectra were obtained with the FORS2 and GMOS-S multi-object spectrographs at the VLT and the Gemini-S telescope, respectively. By comparing the line strengths of the NGC 5824 stars with those for red giants in clusters with well established abundances, we conclude that there is an intrinsic abundance dispersion in NGC 5824 characterized by an inter-quartile range in [Fe/H] of 0.10 dex and a total range of ~0.3 dex. As for omega-Cen and M22, the abundance distribution shows a steep rise on the metal-poor side and a shallower decline on the metal-rich side. There is also some indication that the distribution is not unimodal with perhaps 3 distinct abundance groupings present. NGC 5824 has a further unusual characteristic: the outer surface density profile shows no signs of a tidal cutoff. Instead the profile has a power-law distribution with cluster stars detected to a radius exceeding 400 pc. We postulate that NGC 5824 may be the remnant nuclear star cluster of a now disrupted dwarf galaxy accreted during the formation of the Galaxy's halo. We further speculate that the presence of an intrinsic [Fe/H] spread is the characteristic that distinguishes former nuclear star clusters from other globular clusters.

description: We examine supersymmetric properties of null-warped AdS$_3$, or alternatively Schrodinger geometries, dual to putative warped CFTs in two dimensions. We classify super Schrodinger subalgebras of the superalgebra psu(1, 1$|$2) $\oplus$ psu(1, 1$|$2), corresponding to the superconformal algebra of the AdS$_3 \times$ S$^3$ geometry. We comment on geometric realisations and provide a string theory description with enhanced supersymmetry in terms of intersecting D3-branes. For type IIB supergravity solutions based on T$^{1,1}$, we consider the relationship between five-dimensional Schrodinger solutions and their three-dimensional null-warped counterparts, corresponding to R symmetry twists. Finally, we study a family of null-warped AdS$_3$ solutions in a setting where there is an ambiguity over the R symmetry and confirm that, for examples admitting a Kaluza-Klein (KK) reduction to three dimensions, the minimisation of a real superpotential of the three-dimensional gauged supergravity captures the central charge and R symmetry.

Probing New Physics in B to pi K Decays
Creators: name: Jaarsma, Ruben
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Decays of the type B to pi K have received a lot of attention over the last few decades. They are particularly interesting because tree amplitudes are suppressed; the leading contribution comes from QCD penguin topologies. Moreover, electroweak penguin amplitudes contribute at the level of the tree topologies. We perform a state-of-the-art analysis of CP violation in B_d^0 to pi^0 K_S, which reveals a tension with the Standard Model. A modified electroweak penguin sector provides an attractive explanation. We present a new method to determine the relevant parameters, which makes use of an isospin relation and requires only minimal SU(3) input. The mixing-induced CP asymmetry of B_d^0 to pi^0 K_S plays a key role in the analysis. The implementation of our strategy at Belle II and LHCb may establish New Physics and reveal new sources of CP violation in the electroweak penguin sector.

description: From the group theoretical ground, the Blount's theorem prohibits the existence of line nodes for odd-parity superconductors (SCs) in the presence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC). We study the topological stability of line nodes under inversion symmetry. From the topological point of view, we renovate the stability condition of line nodes, in which we not only generalize the original statement, but also establish the relation to zero-energy surface flat dispersions. The topological instability of line nodes in odd-parity SCs implies not the absence of bulk line nodes but the disappearance of the corresponding zero-energy surface flat dispersions due to surface Rashba SOC, which gives an experimental means to distinguish line nodes in odd-parity SCs from those in other SCs.

description: We explore the spectral and polarization properties of photospheric emissions from stratified jets in which multiple components, separated by a sharp velocity shear regions, are distributed in lateral direction. Propagation of thermal photons injected at high optical depth region are calculated until they escape from the photosphere. It is found that presence of the lateral structure within the jet leads to non-thermal feature of the spectra and significant polarization signal in the resulting emission. The deviation from thermal spectra as well as the polarization degree tends to be enhanced as the velocity gradient in the shear region increases. In particular, we show that emissions from multi-component jet can reproduce the typical observed spectra of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) irrespective to the position of the observer when a velocity shear region is closely spaced in various lateral ($θ$) positions. The degree of polarization associated in the emission is significant (> few%) at wide range of observer angles and can be higher than 30%.

description: A new method for extracting ensemble Kohn-Sham potentials from accurate excited state densities is applied to a variety of two electron systems, exploring the behavior of exact ensemble density functional theory. The issue of separating the Hartree energy and the choice of degenerate eigenstates is explored. A new approximation, spin eigenstate Hartree-exchange (SEHX), is derived. Exact conditions that are proven include the signs of the correlation energy components, the virial theorem for both exchange and correlation, and the asymptotic behavior of the potential for small weights of the excited states. Many energy components are given as a function of the weights for two electrons in a one-dimensional flat box, in a box with a large barrier to create charge transfer excitations, in a three-dimensional harmonic well (Hooke's atom), and for the He atom singlet-triplet ensemble, singlet-triplet-singlet ensemble, and triplet bi-ensemble.

description: We investigate a scheduling scheme incorporating network coding and channel varying information for the two-way relay networks. Our scheduler aims at minimizing the time span needed to send all the data of each source of the network. We consider three channel models, time invariant channels, time varying channels with finite states and time varying Rayleigh fading channels. We formulate the problem into a manageable optimization problem, and get a closed form scheduler under time invariant channels and time varying channel with finite channel states. For Rayleigh fading channels, we focus on the relay node operation and propose heuristic power allocation algorithm resemblant to water filling algorithm. By simulations, we find that even if the channel fluctuates randomly, the average time span is minimized when the relay node transmits/schedules network coded data as much as possible.

description: We present high spatial resolution X-ray spectroscopy of supernova remnant G292.0+1.8 with the {\sl Chandra} observations. The X-ray emitting region of this remnant was divided into 25 $\times$ 25 pixels with a scale of 20$\arcsec$ $\times$ 20$\arcsec$ each. Spectra of 324 pixels were created and fitted with an absorbed one component non-equilibrium ionization model. With the spectral analysis results we obtained maps of absorbing column density, temperature, ionization age, and the abundances for O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, and Fe. The abundances of O, Ne and Mg show tight correlations between each other in the range of about two orders of magnitude, suggesting them all from explosive C/Ne burning. Meanwhile, the abundances of Si and S are also well correlated, indicating them to be the ashes of explosive explosive O-burning or incomplete Si-burbing. The Fe emission lines are not prominent among the whole remnant, and its abundance are significantly deduced, indicating that the reverse shock may have not propagated to the Fe-rich ejecta. Based on relative abundances of O, Ne, Mg, Si and Fe to Si, we suggest a progenitor mass of $25-30 M_{\odot}$ for this remnant.

description: Two recent discoveries have made it possible for us to begin using high-z quasars as standard candles to construct a Hubble Diagram (HD) at z > 6. These are (1) the recognition from reverberation mapping that a relationship exists between the optical/UV luminosity and the distance of line-emitting gas from the central ionizing source. Thus, together with a measurement of the velocity of the line-emitting gas, e.g., via the width of BLR lines, such as Mg II, a single observation can therefore in principle provide a determination of the black hole's mass; and (2) the identification of quasar ULAS J1120+0641 at z = 7.085, which has significantly extended the redshift range of these sources, providing essential leverage when fitting theoretical luminosity distances to the data. In this paper, we use the observed fluxes and Mg II line-widths of these sources to show that one may reasonably test the predicted high-z distance versus redshift relationship, and we assemble a sample of 20 currently available high-z quasars for this exercise. We find a good match between theory and observations, suggesting that a more complete, high-quality survey may indeed eventually produce an HD to complement the highly-detailed study already underway (e.g., with Type Ia SNe, GRBs, and cosmic chronometers) at lower redshifts. With the modest sample we have here, we show that the R_h=ct Universe and LCDM both fit the data quite well, though the smaller number of free parameters in the former produces a more favorable outcome when we calculate likelihoods using the Akaike, Kullback, and Bayes Information Criteria. These three statistical tools result in similar probabilities, indicating that the R_h=ct Universe is more likely than LCDM to be correct, by a ratio of about 85% to 15%.

Joseph Smith as Occultural Bricoleur
Creators: name: Kent, Sheldon
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2023

description: Joseph Smith, the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism), is arguably one of the most complicated and fascinating individuals to emerge out of the religious milieu of nineteenth century America. While, understandably, much confessional, not to say hagiographical literature has been produced about his life and work, as well as a number of largely biased studies by religious and secular detractors, there have been comparatively few objective, scholarly analyses. The most recent scholarly studies have contributed to our understanding of the social, cultural, and religious elements that influenced his religion building imagination. However, each has tended to focus on a particular feature of Smith’s religious background. One of the areas in which this thesis is distinctive, is that it argues that Smith was fundamentally and methodologically eclectic in his approach. In order to develop this line of argument, it uses Christopher Partridge’s theory of occulture to develop a thesis around the notion of Joseph Smith as ‘occultural bricoleur.’ Using the theory of occulture, we are able to see that Smith, rather than drawing on one or two features of the vibrant spiritual milieu of nineteenth century America, actually draws liberally from a range of sources. While it is argued that there were three foundational traditions that provided a loose framework for his early thought—Universalism, Swedenborgianism, and Freemasonry—it also argues that he incorporated a range of other popular folk and magical elements. As such the thesis provides a new theory of early Mormonism.

description: Slow neutron captures at A$\gtrsim$ 85 are mainly guaranteed by the reaction 13C($α$,n)16O in AGB stars, requiring proton injections from the envelope. These were so far assumed to involve a small mass ($\lesssim 10^{-3}$ M$_{\odot}$), but models with rotation suggest that in such tiny layers excessive 14N hampers s-processing. Furthermore, s-element abundances in Galaxies require 13C-rich layers substantially extended in mass ($\gtrsim 4 \times 10^{-3}$ M$_{\odot}$). We therefore present new calculations aiming at clarifying those issues and at understanding if the solar composition helps to constrain the 13C "pocket" extension. We show: i) that mixing "from bottom to top" (like in magnetic buoyancy or other forced mechanisms) can form a 13C reservoir substantially larger than assumed so far, covering most of the He-rich layers; ii) that stellar models at a fixed metallicity, based on this idea reproduce the main s-component as accurately as before; iii) that they make nuclear contributions from unknown nucleosynthesis processes (LEPP) unnecessary, against common assumptions. These models also avoid problems of mixing at the envelope border and fulfil requirements from C-star luminosities. They yield a large production of nuclei below A = 100, so that 86,87Sr may be fully synthesized by AGB stars, while 88Sr, 89Y and 94Zr are contributed more efficiently than before. We finally suggest tests suitable to say a final word on the extension of the 13C pocket.

description: Astrophysical cosmology constrains the variation of Newton's Constant in a manner complementary to laboratory experiments, such as the celebrated lunar laser ranging campaign. Supernova cosmology is an example of the former and has attained campaign status, following planning by a Dark Energy Task Force in 2005. In this paper we employ the full SNIa dataset to the end of 2013 to set a limit on G variation. In our approach we adopt the standard candle delineation of the redshift distance relation. We set an upper limit on its rate of change |G dot / G| of 0.1 parts per billion per year over 9 Gyrs. By contrast lunar laser ranging tests variation of G over the last few decades. Conversely, one may adopt the laboratory result as a prior and constrain the effect of variable G in dark energy equation of state experiments to delta w < 0.02. We also examine the parameterization G ~ 1 + z. Its short expansion age conflicts with the measured values of the expansion rate and the density in a flat Universe. In conclusion, supernova cosmology complements other experiments in limiting G variation. An important caveat is that it rests on the assumption that the same mass of 56Ni is burned to create the standard candle regardless of redshift. These two quantities, f and G, where f is the Chandrasekhar mass fraction burned, are degenerate. Constraining f variation alone requires more understanding of the SNIa mechanism.

description: We investigate the optimal carrier sensing threshold in random CSMA/CA networks considering the effect of binary exponential backoff. We propose an iterative algorithm for optimizing the carrier sensing threshold and hence maximizing the area spectral efficiency. We verify that simulations are consistent with our analytical results.
The available-enthalpy (flow-exergy) cycle. Part-II: applications to idealized baroclinic waves

description: The local available-enthalpy cycle proposed in Part I of this paper is applied to document energetics of three numerical simulations, representing life cycles of idealized baroclinic waves. An improved temporal numerical scheme defined in Part I is used in this study, together with the Arpege-IFS model using a T42 triangular truncation. A 45°N and 200 hPa dry unstable jet is constructed with the most unstable mode at zonal wave number 8. Energetic impacts of both horizontal and vertical diffusion schemes are determined separately. The role of ageostrophic winds within the Ekman layer is investigated, leading to an explanation for large observed values for the dissipation terms and to a new formulation of the potential-energy conversions. The magnitudes of these new conversion terms are compared with those of the usual barotropic and baroclinic conversions. A new version for the available-enthalpy cycle is proposed. It is suitable for open systems and it includes explicitly the potential-energy component as a transitional reservoir. Finally, some results from Intensive Observing Period 15 of the Fronts and Atlantic Storm-Track EXperiment (FASTEX) are compared with those from the idealized diabatic experiment.

Two-state Weiss model for the anomalous thermal expansion in EuNi${}_{2}$P${}_{2}$

description: It has recently been found that the single crystalline EuNi${}_{2}$P${}_{2}$ shows an anormalous thermal expansion and its scaling relation to the average 4$f$ electron number. We point out that a phenomenological 2-state Weiss model can explain these behaviors. We also show that the model leads to the observed effective Bohr magneton number per atom (7.4 $μ_{\rm B}$) in the high-temperature limit, and is consistent with the temperature dependence of experimental susceptibility. Moreover the model predicts that the 4$f$ contribution to the thermal expansion coefficient is in proportional to that of the specific heat. The results suggest that the strong temperature dependence found in these experimental data originates in the excitations from the heavy-fermion ground state to the independent 4$f^{7}$ atomic states.

Merger Criteria of Multiple Massive Black Holes and the Impact on the Host Galaxy

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We perform N-body simulations on a multiple massive black hole (MBH) system in a host galaxy to derive the criteria for successive MBH merger. The calculations incorporate the dynamical friction by stars and general relativistic effects as pericentre shift and gravitational wave recoil. The orbits of MBHs are pursed down to ten Schwarzschild radii (~ 1 AU). As a result, it is shown that about a half of MBHs merge during 1 Gyr in a galaxy with mass $10^{11}M_{\odot}$ and stellar velocity dispersion 240 km/s, even if the recoil velocity is two times as high as the stellar velocity dispersion. The dynamical friction allows a binary MBH to interact frequently with other MBHs, and then the decay of the binary orbits leads to the merger through gravitational wave radiation, as shown by Tanikawa & Umemura (2011). We derive the MBH merger criteria for the masses, sizes, and luminosities of host galaxies. It is found that the successive MBH mergers are expected in bright galaxies, depending on redshifts. Furthermore, we find that the central stellar density is reduced by the sling-shot mechanism and that high-velocity stars with ~ 1000 km/s are generated intermittently in extremely radial orbits.

description: SPLASH (the Southern Parkes Large-Area Survey in Hydroxyl) is a sensitive, unbiased and fully-sampled survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Galactic Centre in all four ground-state transitions of the hydroxyl (OH) radical. The survey provides a deep census of 1612-, 1665-, 1667- and 1720-MHz OH absorption and emission from the Galactic ISM, and is also an unbiased search for maser sources in these transitions. We present here first results from the SPLASH pilot region, which covers Galactic longitudes 334 to 344 degrees and latitudes of -2 to +2 degrees. Diffuse OH is widely detected in all four transitions, with optical depths that are always small (averaged over the Parkes beam), and with departures from LTE common even in the 1665- and 1667-MHz main lines. To a 3$σ$ sensitivity of 30 mK, we find no evidence of OH envelopes extending beyond the CO-bright regions of molecular cloud complexes, and conclude that the similarity of the OH excitation temperature and the level of the continuum background is at least partly responsible for this. We detect masers and maser candidates in all four transitions, approximately 50 per cent of which are new detections. This implies that SPLASH will produce a substantial increase in the known population of ground-state OH masers in the Southern Galactic Plane.

description: Der Artikel schließt an die Debatte an, die sich seit den 80er Jahren um die Frage der Chorgröße bei Bach und daraus folgenden Konsequenzen für die heutige Aufführungspraxis dreht. Dabei ist das Anliegen weniger eine Parteinahme innerhalb der Diskussion als eine Erweiterung des zeitlichen Kontextes. So werden die Organisationsprinzipien der Thomaner-"Chöre" von der Frühzeit bis ins 19. Jahrhundert hinein ergründet. Dabei werden Kontinuitäten wie Brüche benannt und der Versuch unternommen, bisher unklare Begrifflichkeiten wie "Chorus", "Coetus" oder "Cantorey" schärfer voneinander abzugrenzen. Als Quellen werden das Album Alumnorum Thomanorum für die Zeit 1730-1800 sowie Rechnungshefte und -bücher vom 17. bis ins 19. Jahrhundert berücksichtigt. Aus diesen neu in die Diskussion eingebrachten sowie bereits bekannten Quellen werden Folgerungen zur Systematik, den Organisationsprinzipien und Einnahmequellen sowie personellen und strukturellen Zusammenhängen zwischen den einzelnen Ensembles der Thomasschule gezogen. Der Anhang liefert dazu unter anderem eine Umschrift und Übersetzung der Regeln für die "Concentores" der Thomas-"Cantoreyen" von 1634 und 1723.
