description: Our location in the Milky Way provides an exceptional opportunity to gain insight on the galactic evolution processes, and complement the information inferred from observations of external galaxies. Since the Milky Way is a barred galaxy, the study of motions of individual stars in the bulge and disc is useful to understand the role of the bar. The Gaia mission enables such study by providing the most precise parallaxes and proper motions to date. In this theoretical work, we explore the effects of the bar on the distribution of higher-order moments --the skewness and kurtosis-- of the proper motions by confronting two simulated galaxies, one with a bar and one nearly axisymmetric, with observations from the latest Gaia data release (GaiaDR2). We introduce the code ASGAIA to account for observational errors of Gaia in the kinematical structures predicted by the numerical models. As a result, we find clear imprints of the bar in the skewness distribution of the longitudinal proper motion $μ_\ell$ in GaiaDR2, as well as other features predicted for the next Gaia data releases.

description: Using data collected by the FOCUS experiment at Fermilab, we report the discovery of the decay modes D^0 --> K- pi+ pi+ pi+ pi- pi- and D^0 --> pi+ pi+ pi+ pi- pi- pi-. With a sample of 48 +/- 10 reconstructed D^0 --> K- pi+ pi+ pi+ pi- pi- decays and 149 +/- 17 reconstructed D^0 --> pi+ pi+ pi+ pi- pi- pi- decays, we measure the following relative branching ratios: ${Γ(D^0 \to K^- π^+ π^+ π^+ π^- π^-) / Γ(D^0 \to K^- π^+ π^+ π^-)} = (2.70 \pm 0.58 \pm 0.38) \times 10^{-3}$ ${Γ(D^0 \to π^+ π^+ π^+ π^- π^- π^-) / Γ(D^0 \to K^- π^+ π^+ π^-)} = (5.23 \pm 0.59 \pm 1.35) \times 10^{-3}$ ${Γ(D^0 \to π^+ π^+ π^+ π^- π^- π^-) / Γ(D^0 \to K^- π^+ π^+ π^+ π^- π^-)} = 1.93 \pm 0.47 \pm 0.48$ The first errors are statistical and the second are systematic. The branching fraction of the Cabibbo suppressed six-body decay mode is measured to be a factor of two higher than the branching fraction of the Cabibbo favored six-body decay mode.

description: During the year ended in Autumn, 1949, twenty-eight farmers and smallholders supplied information to this Department about their poultry flocks. Although this number is greater than that covered by the previous report in this series (No. 2-1947) the flocks concerned cannot be considered fully representative of poultry in the Province. It is expected that a larger number of completed records will result from the investigation started on ist October, 1949, at the request of the National Farmers' Union of Scotland ; but figures from still more flocks will be needed in the year commencing ist October, 1950. The Department would therefore welcome word from any farmer or poultry-keeper who is interested and who is concerned rather with market egg production than with the production of hatching eggs or stock for sale. This report, which has been drawn up along the lines already established in the Department, could not have been prepared without the co-operation of the farmers and smallholders who supplied the information, the help of the Poultry Instructresses in obtaining co-operators, and the field-work of Miss H. C. McIver and other members of the Department, to all of whom grateful acknowledgment is made.

description: Cross-lingual and multi-lingual training of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) has been extensively investigated in the supervised setting. This assumes the existence of a parallel corpus of speech and orthographic transcriptions. Recently, contrastive predictive coding (CPC) algorithms have been proposed to pretrain ASR systems with unlabelled data. In this work, we investigate whether unsupervised pretraining transfers well across languages. We show that a slight modification of the CPC pretraining extracts features that transfer well to other languages, being on par or even outperforming supervised pretraining. This shows the potential of unsupervised methods for languages with few linguistic resources.

Electroweak fermion triangle loop contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment revisited
Creators: name: Sasaki, Ken
Publisher: name: arXiv

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

description: The contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment from the fermion triangle loop diagrams connected to the muon line by a photon and a $Z$ boson is reanalyzed in the unitary gauge. With use of the anomalous axial-vector Ward identity, it is shown that the calculation in the unitary gauge exactly coincides with the one in the 't Hooft-Feynman gauge. The part which arises from the ordinary axial-vector Ward identity corresponds to the contribution of the neutral Goldstone boson. For the top-quark contribution, the one-parameter integral form is obtained up to the order of $m_μ^2/m_Z^2$. The results are compared with those obtained by the asymptotic expansion method.

description: For a year ended on, or around, 30th September, 1950, the College had the co-operation of about 45 poultry-keepers in making an investigation into costs and returns. Rather less than half of this number had kept poultry costing returns for the College in previous years and the remainder of the records were obtained in response to the request of the National Farmers' Union of Scotland that poultry-keepers assist the College in an economic investigation starting with the year 1949-50. At this stage, records from 40 of the co-operating farms and holdings have been completed and averaged and a summary of the results is presented here. Both egg prices and feeding-stuffs prices are now higher than in the year reviewed. Acknowledgment is made, with thanks, of the assistance given by the poultry-keepers whose records form the raw material of this statement and whose ready co-operation and patience in dealing with much detail was greatly appreciated by the members of staff who prepared the accounts for the individual farms and holdings.

description: We study the Lorentzian analogues of the squashed 3-sphere, namely 2+1 dimensional anti-de Sitter space, squashed or stretched along fibres that are either spacelike or timelike. The causal structure, and the property of being an Einstein--Weyl space, depend critically on whether we squash or stretch. We argue that squashing, and stretching, completely destroys the conformal boundary of the unsquashed spacetime. As a physical application we observe that the near horizon geometry of the extremal Kerr black hole, at constant Boyer--Lindquist latitude, is anti-de Sitter space squashed along compactified spacelike fibres.

Deformation upon impact of a concentrated suspension drop

description: We study the impact between a plate and a drop of non-colloidal solid particles suspended in a Newtonian liquid, with a specific attention to the case when the particle volume fraction, $ϕ$, is close to - or even exceeds - the critical volume fraction, $ϕ_c$, at which the steady effective viscosity of the suspension diverges. We use a specific concentration protocol together with an accurate determination of $ϕ$ for each drop and we measure the deformation $β$ for different liquid viscosities, impact velocities and particle sizes. At low volume fractions, $β$ is found to follow closely an effective Newtonian behavior, which we determine by documenting the low deformation limit for a highly viscous Newtonian drop and characterizing the effective shear viscosity of our suspensions. By contrast, whereas the effective Newtonian approach predicts that $β$ vanishes at $ϕ_c$, a finite deformation is observed for $ϕ>ϕ_c$. This finite deformation remains controlled by the suspending liquid viscosity and increases with increasing particle size, which suggests that the dilatancy of the particle phase is a key factor of the dissipation process close to and above $ϕ_c$.

description: There is evidence that trans-Planckian physics does not affect the Hawking radiation in four dimensions and, consequently, deviations from the linear dispersion relation (for massless particles) at very high energies cannot be revealed using four-dimensional black holes. We study this issue in the context of models with extra spatial dimensions and show that small black holes that could be produced in accelerators might also provide a chance of testing the high energy regime where non-linear dispersion relations are generally expected.

description: The massive payment card industry (PCI) involves various entities such as merchants, issuer banks, acquirer banks, and card brands. Ensuring security for all entities that process payment card information is a challenging task. The PCI Security Standards Council requires all entities to be compliant with the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS), which specifies a series of security requirements. However, little is known regarding how well PCI DSS is enforced in practice. In this paper, we take a measurement approach to systematically evaluate the PCI DSS certification process for e-commerce websites. We develop an e-commerce web application testbed, BuggyCart, which can flexibly add or remove 35 PCI DSS related vulnerabilities. Then we use the testbed to examine the capability and limitations of PCI scanners and the rigor of the certification process. We find that there is an alarming gap between the security standard and its real-world enforcement. None of the 6 PCI scanners we tested are fully compliant with the PCI scanning guidelines, issuing certificates to merchants that still have major vulnerabilities. To further examine the compliance status of real-world e-commerce websites, we build a new lightweight scanning tool named PciCheckerLite and scan 1,203 e-commerce websites across various business sectors. The results confirm that 86% of the websites have at least one PCI DSS violation that should have disqualified them as non-compliant. Our in-depth accuracy analysis also shows that PciCheckerLite's output is more precise than w3af. We reached out to the PCI Security Council to share our research results to improve the enforcement in practice.

description: On average the lack of biological markers causes a one year diagnostic delay to detect amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). To improve the diagnostic process an automatic voice assessment based on acoustic analysis can be used. The purpose of this work was to verify the sutability of the sustain vowel phonation test for automatic detection of patients with ALS. We proposed enhanced procedure for separation of voice signal into fundamental periods that requires for calculation of perturbation measurements (such as jitter and shimmer). Also we proposed method for quantitative assessment of pathological vibrato manifestations in sustain vowel phonation. The study's experiments show that using the proposed acoustic analysis methods, the classifier based on linear discriminant analysis attains 90.7\% accuracy with 86.7\% sensitivity and 92.2\% specificity.

description: We use spectroscopic observations of the gravitationally lensed systems SDSS0924+0219(BC), Q1355-2257(AB), and SDSS1029+2623(BC) to analyze microlensing and dust extinction in the observed components. We detect chromatic microlensing effects in the continuum and microlensing in the broad emission line profiles of the systems SDSS0924+0219(BC), and Q1355-2257(AB). Using magnification maps to simulate microlensing and modeling the emitting region as a Gaussian intensity profile with size $r_s \propto λ^p$, we obtain the probability density functions for a logarithmic size prior at $λ_{rest-frame}=3533$ Å. In the case of SDSS0924+0219, we obtain: $r_s = 4^{+3}_{-2}$ $\sqrt{M/M_{\odot}}$ light-days (at $1 σ$), which is larger than the range of other estimates, and $p = 0.8 \pm 0.2$ (at $1 σ$), which is smaller than predicted by the thin disk theory, but still in agreement with previous results. In the case of Q1355-2257 we obtain (at $1 σ$): $r_s = 3.6^{+3.0}_{-1.6}$ $\sqrt{M/M_{\odot}}$ light-days, which is also larger than the theoretical prediction, and $p = 2.0 \pm 0.7$ that is in agreement with the theory within errors. SDSS1029+2326 spectra show evidence of extinction, probably produced by a galaxy in the vicinity of image C. Fitting an extinction curve to the data we estimate $ΔE \sim 0.2$ in agreement with previous results. We found no evidence of microlensing for this system.

description: Traditional seismic acquisition systems suffer from a number of difficulties related to telemetry cables that are used as a means of data transmission. Transforming the traditional seismic acquisition system to a wireless system has been considered as a potential solution to most of these difficulties. The wireless seismic acquisition system has to serve a huge aggregate data rate requirement as is usually the case in a large wireless sensor network. This paper considers the wireless acquisition system, and studies the maximum achievable transmission data rates from the geophones to the wireless gateways. Successive interference cancellation decoding is assumed to be used at the gateway nodes. We consider the problem of sum-rate maximization by optimizing the decoding process at each gateway node. The optimization searches for optimal decoding set at each gateway, i.e. which group of geophones will be decoded at each gateway. Various integer programming algorithms are proposed for solving the maximization problem. These optimization algorithms are simulated and compared among each other, where it is shown that the ant system algorithm achieves the highest sum-rate with lower computational complexity compared to other algorithms. Furthermore, the data delivery from the gateways to the data center is also considered. In this stage, two gateways with different buffer sizes are studied. For small-size buffers, two optimization problems are identified and solved. The first problem considers the minimization of the total power of the gateways, and the second problem considers power fairness between the gateways. For large-size buffers, the problem of maximizing the weighted sum rate of the gateways is solved.

description: Given the importance of women's participation and taking advantage of their ability, it is essential that a systematic and strategic plan should be organized in this area. Undoubtedly, planning for the development of the specific associations of rural women can be an effective step to increase their participation in various scenes, and it can also help improve the status and rights of women. The main objective of this study was to explore factors affecting the development and strengthening of rural women’s enterprises. A mixed method was used in this study. Data gathering tools were both semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. Target samples were both 25 rural development experts and 92 rural women in the Hamadan County. The results showed that the following items are essential for the development and strengthening rural women’s enterprises: applying legal and financial support; family support; management support, and education and cultural support. In addition, the following strategies are required: culture building; women's empowerment programs, continued implementation of consulting and training programs, and encouraging the introduction of the women's enterprises. The results of factor analysis showed that economic, sociocultural, and education and extension factors can determine approximately 60 percent of factors affecting the development and strengthening of rural women’s enterprises.

description: The present study examined the perception of smallholder pineapple farmers on Global GAP standard compliance, assessed compliant farmers’ rate of adherence to standard requirements, and compared the average farm profit of Global GAP compliant and non-compliant pineapple farmers in Akuapem South Municipal Area of Ghana. The study used mainly farm level data solicited from 150 randomly selected pineapple farmers. Findings of the study indicated that compliant farmers perceived Global GAP to offer market premium on certified products as it is the case for organic certification. Factors that accounted for farmer non-compliance with Global GAP included: high cost of standard compliance, uncompetitive farm gate price and low farm yield. Although average farm profit of Global GAP compliant farmer (GH¢9,083.64) was higher than that of non-compliant farmer (GH¢8,893.62), the difference was insignificant. The study recommended, among others, that a concerted attempt should be made by the Government of Ghana and the private sector to create a national commodity exchange institution that will seek to provide a transparent and efficient marketing system for Ghana’s key agricultural commodities.

description: The aim of this paper was investigating the effects of organic knowledge, perceived consequences, subjective norms, price, and green trust, perceived consumer effectiveness, avail- ability, relative advantage, and organic purchase intention on organic purchase behavior among Iranian consumers as the consumers in a developing country.The survey questionnaire was administered to the customers of large chain stores and organic food stores in five provinces of Iran that had branches for producing and selling organic food products. Given the very few number of organic food consumers in Iran, only 192 out of 240 questionnaires were filled and then used as samples of study. In order to analysis the data and test the hypotheses, multiple regression analysis method was used using by SPSS software. Results showed strong support (R 2 =0.51) for the impact of price, consumer effectiveness, and perceived consequences on intention to purchase organic food products. Organic knowledge, green trust, price, consumer effectiveness, and intention were found to have influenced purchase behavior. This paper will discuss the implications of these results for agricultural practitioners and marketers.

description: As a result of the work performed, software was developed for the Xil-inx Zynq-7000 SoC and a graphical user interface (GUI) for controlling the MIXComm2629 beamformer integrated circuit. The S-parameters of the debug board with the MixComm integrated circuit were measured on a vector net-work analyzer. The algorithms for determining the angular coordinates of a set of signal sources, MUSIC and MVDR are compared. This design can be applied to: - Digital antenna arrays for radar. - Beamforming in conditions of low SNR and close proximity of incom-ing signals. - Forming a radiation pattern with the installation of "zeros" on a signal or interference that is not of interest to us. - Forming a beam pattern with two maxima for simultaneous reception of two useful signals.

description: The present study was conducted to examine the development and validation of sustainable indicators related to aquaculture as a social-ecological system. By reviewing the literature, it was found about 148 indicators related to sustainable aquaculture in economic (market-oriented and responsive aquaculture, capability of risk assessment and crisis management, and financial management in aquaculture), social (participation in food security and healthy food, the role of producer and non-governmental organizations, improving the image of aquaculture, and social responsibility), environment (minimizing the impacts of aquaculture at the national level, minimizing the impacts on the environmental conditions, and biodiversity), and institutional (local development and participation in decision-making) components. The extracted components were used in the form of a questionnaire with a five-point Likert type scale according to six criteria. Questionnaires were distributed among aquaculture experts in Alborz Dam Basin in Mazandaran Province, where 32 questionnaires were returned. Research results include ranking indicators based on a total of six criteria mentioned in methodology, and ranking components, as well as their associated indicators related to sustainable aquaculture using AHP. The findings further suggested that economic and environmental aspects also were placed as the first and second ranks among 10 sustainable aquaculture indicators. Accordingly, it is highly recommended that the agencies related to the country's aquaculture development paid attention to these identified dimensions and used them in their planning.

description: Understanding the damping mechanism in finite size systems and its dependence on temperature is a critical step in the development of magnetic nanotechnologies. In this work, nano-sized materials are modeled via atomistic spin dynamics, the damping parameter being extracted from Ferromagnetic Resonance (FMR) simulations applied for FePt systems, generally used for heat-assisted magnetic recording media (HAMR). We find that the damping increases rapidly close to Tc and the effect is enhanced with decreasing system size, which is ascribed to scattering at the grain boundaries. Additionally, FMR methods provide the temperature dependence of both damping and the anisotropy, important for the development of HAMR. Semi-analytical calculations show that, in the presence of a grain size distribution, the FMR linewidth can decrease close to the Curie temperature due to a loss of inhomogeneous line broadening. Although FePt has been used in this study, the results presented in the current work are general and valid for any ferromagnetic material.

description: High-temperature reactions widely exist in nature. However, they are difficult to be characterized either experimentally or computationally. The routinely used minimum energy path (MEP) model in computational modeling of chemical reactions is not justified to describe high-temperature reactions since high-energy structures are actively involved there. In this study, using CH4 decomposition on the Cu(111) surface as an example, we systematically compare MEP results with those obtained by explicitly sampling all relevant structures via ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations at different temperatures. Interestingly, we find that, for reactions protected by a strong steric hindrance effect, the MEP is still effectively followed even at a temperature close to the Cu melting point. In contrast, without such a protection, the flexibility of surface Cu atoms can lead to a significant free energy barrier reduction at a high temperature. Accordingly, some conclusions about graphene growth mechanisms based on MEP calculations should be revisited. Physical insights provided by this study can deepen our understanding on high-temperature surface reactions.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of Participatory Plant Breeding (PPB). Seventy-six breeders were randomly selected from among 95 breeders who were working at the Seed and Plant Improvement Institute, Karaj, Iran. Data were collected by a questionnaire as the main data collection instrument. The face and content validity of the questionnaire was approved by a panel of agricultural extension and plant breeding experts. The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated and it turned out to be high, ranging from 0.83-0.92. The descriptive findings of the study suggested that the breeders had generally positive perception toward using PPB. The correlation analysis results showed that there is a positive and significant (p>0.01) correlation among the levels of familiarity with PPB, advantages, and breeders’ perception toward the use of PPB. In addition, there was a negative and significant (p>0.01) correlation between breeders' perception of the disadvantages faced by PPB and their perception of using participatory plant breeding. Finally, stepwise regression analysis indicated that the advantages and disadvantages of PPB explained about 58% of the variations in breeders’ perception toward using PPB.

description: We report on giant positive magnetoresistance effect observed in VOx thin films, epitaxially grown on SrTiO3 substrate. The MR effect depends strongly on temperature and oxygen content and is anisotropic. At low temperatures its magnitude reaches 70% in a magnetic field of 5 T. Strong electron-electron interactions in the presence of strong disorder may qualitatively explain the results. An alternative explanation, related to a possible magnetic instability, is also discussed.
