description: Objective: Sub-optimal colorectal cancer (CRC) evaluations have been attributed to both physician and patient factors. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate physician practice variation in patients with a higher risk of CRC. We wanted to identify the physician characteristics and the types of patients that were associated with missed screening opportunities; we also explored whether screening for CRC served as a proxy for better preventive care practices. Methods: A total of 213 board-certified family and internal medicine physicians participated in the study, conducted between September and December 2016. We used Clinical Performance and Value (CPV®) vignettes, simulated patients, to collect data on CRC screening. The CPV patients presented with a typical range of signs and symptoms of potential CRC. The care provided to the simulated patients was scored against explicit evidence-based criteria. The main outcome measure was rate a diagnostic CRC workup was ordered. This data quantified the clinical practice variability for CRC screening in high risk patients and other preventive and screening practices. Results: A total of 81% of participants ordered appropriate CRC workup in patients at risk for CRC, with a majority (71%) selecting diagnostic colonoscopy over FIT/FOBT. Only 6% of physicians ordering CRC workup, however, counseled patients on their higher risk for CRC. The most commonly recognized symptoms prompting testing were unexplained weight loss or inadequate screening history, while the least recognized symptoms of CRC risk were abdominal discomfort found on review of systems. Conclusion: This study shows that primary care physician screening of CRC varies widely. Those physicians who successfully screened for CRC were more likely to complete other prevention and screening practices.

description: Many of the fascinating and unconventional properties of several transition-metal compounds with partially filled d-shells are due to strong electronic correlations. While local correlations are in principle treated exactly within the frame of the dynamical mean-field theory, there are two major and interlinked routes for important further methodical advances: On the one hand, there is a strong need for methods being able to describe material-specific aspects, i.e., methods combining the DMFT with modern band-structure theory, and, on the other hand, nonlocal correlations beyond the mean-field paradigm must be accounted for. Referring to several concrete example systems, we argue why these two routes are worth pursuing and how they can be combined, we describe several related methodical developments and present respective results, and we discuss possible ways to overcome remaining obstacles.

Towards a security management system for composite web services
Creators: name: Sun, Haiyang
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: A web service can be operated in a distributed environment with a large number of resources with evolving contents. These resources can be various types of applications that come from different organizations, e.g., component web services. A web service that composes multiple component services (resources) is called composite web service that can provide comprehensive and value-added function to service consumer. In order to acquire the support from these resources, the composite web service must be able to satisfy authorization policies of these resources. Interacting with service consumers is imperative for the execution of a composite web service. But, a service consumer can access the specific functions of a composite service, only after it can satisfy the authorization policies of the composite web service. Execution policies are used to manage the sequence of operation invocations within a composite web service, i.e., business logic. Therefore, without coordination management on these policies, a composite web service may not be able to perform properly, particularly in a process environment. Currently, it is still lack of an effective approach to address the issue of security management in composite web service by considering both service consumers and component services, and taking various types of authorization constraints into account to manage and coordinate the service consumer access and component service support. In this thesis, we propose a service oriented conceptual model (SOAC) as an extension of role based access control that can facilitate the administration and management of access for service consumers as well as component services supports in composite web services. Various types of conflict of interest are identified due to the complicated relationships among service consumers and component services. A process model, SOAC-Net, is also developed based on our designed conceptual model SOAC. The SOAC-Net is a Petri-Net based process model that represents an authorization ow, i.e., the sequence of the accesses by service consumers and the sequence of the supports from components services. A set of authorization policies, e.g., authorization synchronization policy and authorization dependency policy, are designed based on SOAC-Net to coordinate the access and the support in a process environment. Verification on improper authorization policy definition is proposed based on SOAC-Net to detect the unreliable execution of composite web service. A service oriented authorization control engine (SOAC engine) is developed as an implementation of the proposed authorization framework of composite web services. In summary, this research throws new light on the current state of the art in authorization management under the loosely-coupled composite web service environments.
Humans, beastly men and the Roman State: the politics of humanity from Cicero to Persius

description: The politics of humanity is the practice of projecting and shifting the political boundaries that separate "humans" from those who are "inhuman", inept at being human, or in need of being humanised. This thesis concerns itself with the study of the politics of humanity in ancient Rome, and primary emphasis is given to the philosophical and literary works of Cicero, Seneca, Horace and Persius. In Chapter One, I commence with an analysis of Greek political theory, which outlined the moral and political conditions necessary for biological humans to achieve a truly human level of existence as neither slaves to tyrants, nor as stateless, animal-like savages. This body of theory was influential with Roman writers, and Cicero used it to conceptualise the Roman Republic and its constitution as absolute prerequisites for Romans to exist as true human beings. Because Cicero considered the Roman state as largely dysfunctional at the time of his writing, he portrayed the Roman citizen body as dehumanised, and the political struggles of his day as a war between the human and subhuman elements within the state. In Chapter Two, I observe a body of ideas produced during the early imperial period which were intended to provide a conceptual basis for the preservation of the humanity of imperial subjects under conditions previously considered incompatible with it, namely, under the monarchy. Here, I focus mainly on the author Seneca. In Seneca's works, the politics of humanity involved neutralising the dehumanising potential inherent in the rise of the emperor and actively constructing the principate as a humanising institution. Furthermore, Seneca was concerned with reserving the status of human being for loyal imperial subjects while denying it to dissidents. In Chapter Three, I turn to Horace and the politics of humanity in his Sermones. In this collection of poems, Horace set out to portray himself and his powerful patrons Maecenas and Octavian Caesar as true humans while denying this status to all who did not share their values. Nevertheless, in the Epistles, a collection of poems published a decade or so later, Horace reversed the project of the Sermones by portraying his poetic persona as a deceptive "human" mask. I observe this same twist to the politics of humanity in Chapter Four, where I turn to Satire 1 of the Neronian poet Persius. Here I argue that Persius "exposed" contemporary Roman society as dehumanised and, in the process, also revealed his own failure to achieve the standards necessary for him to exist as a true human being.

description: An efficient copper (I) halotriphenylphosphine catalyzed one-pot multicomponent reaction (MCR) of 3-substituted indole derivatives has been developed using a variety of aldehydes (aromatic, aliphatic, and heteroaromatic), indole, and active methylene substrates such as malononitrile and ethyl 2-cyano acetate. This reaction proceeds smoothly and obtained good to excellent yields (68–93%) using water as green solvent under ambient conditions. The obtained products were confirmed by 1H, 13C NMR, and mass spectroscopy techniques. The one-pot MCR occurs through formation of Knoevenagel adducts then followed by Michael addition of indole.
On the Measurement attaining the Quantum Guesswork

description: The guesswork quantifies the minimum cost incurred in guessing the state of an ensemble, when only one state can be queried at a time. In the classical case, it is well known that the optimal strategy trivially consists of querying the states in their non-increasing order of posterior probability. In the quantum case, on the other hand, the most general strategy to obtain the optimal ordering in which to perform the queries consist of a quantum measurement. Here, we solve such an optimization problem by deriving the quantum measurement attaining the guesswork for a broad class of ensembles and cost functions.

description: Background: It is argued that coastal endemic taxa may evolve in parallel at the periphery of the distributional range of a widespread species. Aims: We tested this hypothesis for the origins of three peripheral, coastal isolates of Senecio, S. glaucus ssp. glaucus (Israel), S. g. ssp. coronopifolius p.p. (Sicily), and S. hesperidium (Morocco), from widespread S. glaucus ssp. coronopifolius. We also determined the relative roles of selection vs. genetic drift in shaping phenotypic divergence in ssp. glaucus and S. hesperidium, using Lande’s test of neutral morphological change. Methods: We surveyed morphological and/or allozyme variation in the three peripheral isolates and mainly inland populations of S. g. ssp. coronopifolius. Results: Genetic data supported independent origins of the coastal taxa from nearby populations of ssp. coronopifolius. These descendant and ancestral populations showed pronounced morphological but weak genetic differentiation. Phenotypic similarities between ssp. glaucus (Israel) and S. hesperidium (Morocco) in plant height and floral traits may have resulted from parallel divergent selection from ssp. coronopifolius, though drift remains an alternative cause in S. hesperidium. Conclusions: Our results indicate parallel ecotype formation and (sub)speciation in Senecio in which primarily selective vs. neutral determinants promoted the recurrent origin of coastal types in, respectively, Israel and Morocco.

description: Arsenic has been reported to induce apoptosis in malignant tumor cells. Therefore, it has been investigated as a chemotherapy. From a mechanistic standpoint, the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, mediated by GSK-3β, plays an important role in tumor cell apoptosis. Nonetheless, the regulation of GSK-3β by arsenic remains controversial. The study aimed to clarify the mechanism of GSK-3β in arsenic-induced apoptosis of tumor cells. We included 19 articles, which conducts the role of GSK-3β in the process of arsenic-induced tumor cell apoptosis by the meta-analysis. Compared with that of control group, the expression of GSK-3β (SMD= −0.92, 95% CI (−1.78, −0.06)), p-Akt (SMD= −5.46,95% CI (−8.67, −2.24)) were increased in the arsenic intervention group. Meanwhile, the combined treatment of arsenic and Akt agonists can inhibit p-GSK-3β. Using the dose and time subgroup analysis, it was shown that the low-dose (<5 μmol/L) and sub-chronic (>24 h) arsenic exposure could inhibit the expression of p-Akt (P < 0.05). In the subgroup analysis of GSK-3β sites, arsenic could inhibit p-Akt and GSK-3β (Ser9) (SMD = −0.95, 95% CI (−1.56, −0.33)). There was a positive dose-response relationship between arsenic and p-GSK-3β when the dose of arsenic was less than 8 μmol/L. The expression of Mcl-1 and pro-caspase-3 were decreased, while the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and cleaved-caspase-3 increased significantly when arsenic stimulated GSK-3β (Ser9) (P < 0.05). The study revealed that arsenic could induce tumor cell apoptosis, by inhibiting p-Akt/GSK-3β, and triggering the Mcl-1-dependent mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.
IFRS goodwill impairment testing in Malaysia: a compliance analysis

description: Prior to the adoption in 2006 of an International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS)-based reporting framework in Malaysia, no binding standard governing goodwill had ever been implemented. The highly prescriptive and technical provisions of Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 136 - Impairment of Assets (FRS 136) therefore represent a very substantial variation from past practice. This in turn gives rise to questions about how Malaysian companies and their auditors have fared during the process of transition to a complex new reporting regime and in consequence to the quality and consistency of reports produced pursuant to that new regime. Thus, this dissertation focuses specifically on compliance levels and disclosure quality relating to the highly detailed requirements set out in FRS 136. Using a two-tiered comparative/evaluative method, this thesis finds that 50% of the companies producing financial reports have failed to meet the mark for the new Standard. -- The research also examines the discount rate used in IFRS goodwill impairment testing. Discount rate selection represents a centrally material factor impacting valuation models owing to the strong reliance on discounted cash flow modelling as a basis for determining an asset's recoverable amount in the impairment testing process. The discount rates disclosed by large Malaysian companies are compared with independently generated discount rates and analysed using the Capital Assets Pricing Model and goodwill intensity. Evidence consistent with opportunism on the part of financial statement preparers was found. -- The application of FRS 136 was mandatory for all companies included in the research sample and subject to audit by the Big 4 (the Big 4) auditors. Yet the majority of companies failed to comply with even the basic requirements of the new goodwill Standard. This raised a question regarding the quality of audits provided by the Big 4. Hence, I examined the degree of technical compliance with the disclosure requirements of FRS 136 by a sample of large Malaysian listed companies used as a proxy for audit quality. This research employed six analytical structures to distinguish audit quality among the Big 4 in an attempt to question the homogeneity of audit quality assumption. No credible evidence was found in the dataset of meaningful variation in compliance levels or disclosure quality among the clients of the Big 4. Furthermore, there was a systemic failure on the part of Malaysian clients of the Big 4 to comply with even most basic elements of the FRS 136 disclosure framework in relation to goodwill impairment testing. The results of this research suggest that the performance of Malaysian companies and their auditors must improve before Malaysian practice is truly of international standard.

description: Background: Treeline ecotones represent environmental boundaries that fluctuate in space and time and thus induce changes in plant taxonomic and functional diversity. Aims: To study changes through time in taxonomic and functional plant diversity patterns along the treeline ecotone. Methods: In 2002, vegetation was sampled along a gradient from upper montane forest to the treeline–alpine transition in the South Ural Mountains, Russia. In 2014, vegetation was resampled and plant functional traits were collected. We studied spatial and temporal changes in plant species composition, functional composition and functional diversity. Results: Species composition and diversity changed along the elevational gradient. The functional composition in height, leaf area, specific leaf area and leaf nitrogen content decreased with elevation, whereas functional composition of leaf carbon content increased. We found a temporal shift towards shorter plants with smaller leaves in treeline sites. Functional richness varied in several traits along the elevational gradient, while functional dispersion showed a trend towards increased functional dispersion in height, specific leaf area and leaf nitrogen in the treeline–tundra transition. Conclusions: Tree encroachment across the treeline ecotone has resulted in a shift in plant species relative abundances and functional diversity, possibly affecting plant community assembly patterns.

description: We explore the role of dissipative effects during warm inflation leading to the small-scale enhancement of the power spectrum of curvature perturbations. In this paper, we specifically focus on non-canonical warm inflationary scenarios and study a model of warm Higgs-G inflation, in which the Standard Model Higgs boson drives inflation, with a Galileon-like non-linear kinetic term. We show that in the Galileon-dominated regime, the primordial power spectrum is strongly enhanced, leading to the formation of primordial black holes (PBH) with a wide range of the mass spectrum. Interestingly, PBHs in the asteroid mass window $\sim (10^{17}$ -- $10^{23}$) g are generated in this model, which can explain the total abundance of the dark matter in the Universe. In our analysis, we also calculate the secondary gravitational waves (GW) sourced by these small-scale overdense fluctuations and find that the induced GW spectrum can be detected in the future GW detectors, such as LISA, BBO, DECIGO, etc. Our scenario thus provides a novel way of generating PBHs as dark matter and a detectable stochastic GW background from warm inflation. We also show that our scenario is consistent with the swampland and the trans-Planckian censorship conjectures and, thus, remains in the viable landscape of UV complete theories.

description: Background: The possible effects of climate change on sex allocation of a species have recently emerged as a topic of interest, relative to population sustainability via natural regeneration. Also, the universality of pollen limitation for reproduction and how climate may influence it in different taxonomic groups remain to be explored. Aims: The aim of this study was to examine how climate fluctuation may affect sex allocation in Pinus palustris. Methods: We used a long-term observational data on P. palustris (1957–2014), including pollen, female conelets and cone production. Results: We found that, unlike cone production with its ca. 3-year cycle, (1) pollen (male) and unfertilised conelet (female) production did not exhibit any temporal cycles, (2) pollen and unfertilised conelet production showed lower variation than cone production, (3) pollen and unfertilised conelet production were positively correlated to one another and to final cone production, (4) an optimal male-to-female sex allocation ratio exists for promoting cone production and (5) sex allocation ratio was positively correlated with temperature. Conclusions: Our findings shed new light on both the reproductive ecology and management of P. palustris ecosystems under changing climates (e.g., through alteration of pollen density and thus the resulting sex allocation).

description: The asymptotic attractors of a nonlinear dynamical system play a key role in the long-term physically observable behaviors of the system. The study of attractors and the search for distinct types of attractor have been a central task in nonlinear dynamics. In smooth dynamical systems, an attractor is often enclosed completely in its basin of attraction with a finite distance from the basin boundary. Recent works have uncovered that, in neuronal networks, unstable attractors with a remote basin can arise, where almost every point on the attractor is locally transversely repelling. Herewith we report our discovery of a class of attractors: partially unstable attractors, in pulse-coupled integrate-and-fire networks subject to a periodic forcing. The defining feature of such an attractor is that it can simultaneously possess locally stable and unstable sets, both of positive measure. Exploiting the structure of the key dynamical events in the network, we develop a symbolic analysis that can fully explain the emergence of the partially unstable attractors. To our knowledge, such exotic attractors have not been reported previously, and we expect them to arise commonly in biological networks whose dynamics are governed by pulse (or spike) generation.

description: Soft symmetries for Yang-Mills theory are shown to correspond to the residual Hamiltonian action of the gauge group on the Ashtekar-Streubel phase space, which is the result of a partial symplectic reduction. The associated momentum map is the electromagnetic memory in the abelian theory, or a nonlinear, gauge-equivariant, generalization thereof in the nonabelian case.
 This result follows from an application of Hamiltonian reduction by stages, enabled by the existence of a natural normal subgroup of the gauge group on a null codimension-1 submanifold with boundaries. The first stage is coisotropic reduction of the Gauss constraint, and it yields a symplectic extension of the Ashtekar-Streubel phase space (up to a covering). Hamiltonian reduction of the residual gauge action leads to the fully-reduced phase space of the theory. This is a Poisson manifold, whose symplectic leaves, called superselection sectors, are labelled by the (gauge classes of the generalized) electric flux across the boundary.
 In this framework, the Ashtekar-Streubel phase space arises as an intermediate reduction stage that enforces the superselection of the electric flux at only one of the two boundary components. These results provide a natural, purely Hamiltonian, explanation of the existence of soft symmetries as a byproduct of partial symplectic reduction, as well as a motivation for the expected decomposition of the quantum Hilbert space of states into irreducible representations labelled by the Casimirs of the Poisson structure on the reduced phase space.

Claiming inheritance: Aboriginal people, native title and cultural heritage : a story from Dubbo, New South Wales

description: In 1992, the Mabo (No. 2) ruling introduced the term 'native title' as one appropriate to the situation of Australian Aborigines' claims to rights over lands they regard as theirs by tradition, and where entitlement to land was in accordance with traditional laws and customs. The term 'native title' became a legally recognised concept, at Australian common law, with the introduction of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (NTA 1993 (Cth)). Since its introduction, the Act has undergone certain crucial amendments, which Aboriginal leaders have described as detrimental to the success of native title claims in many parts of Australia. This thesis explores the historical, legal, political and social context of native title claims in New South Wales, through the experiences of the Aboriginal people of Dubbo. Particular emphasis is placed on the political and legal processes which constructed the current social and historical context of the lives of Aboriginal people in Dubbo. The discussion focuses on the impact of political and ideological changes on Aboriginal affairs in Australian in the last few decades, and specifically upon the social and political organisation of the Aboriginal community of Dubbo. It explores the avenues that are available for Aboriginal people (New South Wales) for claiming native title in today's social, legal and political climate. Furthermore, it focuses on the routes that the Aboriginal people of Dubbo have chosen to take in their attempts to gain rights to, and authority over, local Aboriginal heritage.

description: In this paper we study the occurrence of accelerating universe versus decelerating universe between the F(R) gravity frame (Jordan frame) and non-minimally coupled scalar field theory frame, and the minimally coupled scalar field theory frame (Einstein frame) for various models. As we show, if acceleration is imposed in one frame, it will not necessarily correspond to an accelerating metric when transformed in another frame. As we will demonstrate, this issue is model and frame-dependent but it seems there is no general scheme which permits to classify such cases.

description: Single crystals of diglycine zinc dipicrate (DZD) were grown by the slow evaporation solution growth technique from ethanol at room temperature. The structure is elucidated by single crystal XRD analysis and it belongs to the triclinic system with centrosymmetric space group Pī. The crystallinity of the material was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction analysis. The functional groups present in the molecule are identified by FT-IR analysis and the band gap energy is estimated using diffuse reflectance data by the application of Kubelka–Munk algorithm. Investigation of the intermolecular interactions and crystal packing via Hirshfeld surface analysis, based on single-crystal XRD, reveals the close contacts associated with molecular interactions. Fingerprint plots of the Hirshfeld surfaces were used to locate and analyze the percentage of hydrogen-bonding interactions.The data are analysed by combined results of single crystal XRD and electronic structure calculations. Theoretical calculations done by density functional theory(DFT) gives an idea about structure-function relationship. The second harmonic generation efficiency (SHG) is estimated using the Kurtz and Perry technique and it reveals second order nonlinearity. The observation of a centrosymmetric crystal exbiting NLO character is rationalized.
An approximation of populations on a habitat with large carrying capacity

description: We consider stochastic dynamics of a population which starts from a small colony on a habitat with large but limited carrying capacity. A common heuristics suggests that such population grows initially as a Galton-Watson branching process and then its size follows an almost deterministic path until reaching its maximum, sustainable by the habitat. In this paper we put forward an alternative and, in fact, more accurate approximation which suggests that the population size behaves as a special nonlinear transformation of the Galton Watson process from the very beginning.

description: The effective field theory (EFT) framework is a precise approximation procedure when the inherent assumptions of a large-scale separation between the Standard Model (SM) and new interactions alongside perturbativity are realised. Constraints from available data might not automatically guarantee these circumstances when contrasted with UV scenarios that the EFT analysis wishes to inform. From an EFT perspective, achieving sufficient precision in navigating the alignment or decoupling limits beyond the SM scenarios can necessitate moving beyond the SM's leading, dimension six EFT deformation. Using the example of Higgs boson mixing, we demonstrated the importance of higher-dimensional terms in the EFT expansion. We analyse the relevance of virtual EFT corrections and dimension eight contributions for well-determined electroweak precision observables. We find that when moving away from the decoupling limit, the relevance of additional terms in the EFT expansion quickly becomes relevant. This demonstrates the necessity to move beyond dimension six interactions for any scenario that contains Higgs boson mixing.

description: Moderate amount of bending strains, ~3% are enough to induce the semiconductor-metal transition in Si nanowires of ~4nm diameter. The influence of bending on silicon nanowires of 1 nm to 4.3 nm diameter is investigated using molecular dynamics and quantum transport simulations. Local strains in nanowires are analyzed along with the effect of bending strain and nanowire diameter on electronic transport and the transmission energy gap. Interestingly, relatively wider nanowires are found to undergo semiconductor-metal transition at relatively lower bending strains. The effect of bending strain on electronic properties is then compared with the conventional way of straining, i.e. uniaxial, which shows that, the bending is much more efficient way of straining to enhance the electronic transport and also to induce the semiconductor-metal transition in experimentally realizable Si nanowires.

description: The spread of invasive species in sensitive ecosystems is a major environmental problem, resulting in significant hazards to local and regional environmental and socioeconomic facets. Traditional field-survey based management, particularly in adverse terrain, is difficult – inhibited by climactic conditions, worker safety, and time. There is a strong demand for remote-sensing to mitigate these issues, improving efficiency and effectiveness, and increasing coverage ability. The aims of this thesis are to investigate the potential use of remote-sensing in weed management and specifically evaluate the use of it to two locate weed species in Kosciuszko National Park (KNP). The evaluation was performed through the collection and processing of floral spectra to formulate a spectral library, which was then analysed for statistical uniqueness, utilising machine-learning classification algorithms. Results of the Random Forest (RF) discriminability analysis presented an overall separability accuracy of 70%. This was then resampled to simulate the discriminability for commercial drone and multi-spectral satellite sensors, giving accuracies of 59% and 63%, respectively. This preliminary analysis is promising, and builds the foundation for future multispectral research for weed management in KNP, and provides a foundational methodology for spectral pre-assessment in general.

description: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a complex mental health condition triggered by exposure totraumatic events, affecting millions worldwide. Traditional therapeutic interventions—such as cognitivebehavioral therapy and exposure therapy—face challenges including limited accessibility, variable patientengagement, and difficulty replicating traumatic scenarios in a controlled environment. The integration ofArtificial Intelligence (AI) with Virtual Reality (VR) offers an innovative and immersive solution for PTSDrehabilitation. AI-supported VR therapies enable adaptive exposure, real-time emotional monitoring, andpersonalized treatment pathways, enhancing the effectiveness of mental health care. This paper explores thetechnological foundations of AI and VR in the context of PTSD treatment, outlines core use cases, and presentsreal-world case studies demonstrating clinical outcomes. Ethical and regulatory considerations such as dataprivacy, informed consent, and psychological risk are examined. The paper also discusses technical andpsychological limitations, including user desensitization and device constraints. Looking forward, emerginginnovations such as emotionally adaptive avatars, edge computing, and neurofeedback integration areanticipated to further evolve the landscape of trauma-informed therapy. By combining immersive simulationwith intelligent adaptation, AI-supported VR therapies present a transformative approach to mental health carefor individuals living with PTSD.

description: Dark matter self-scattering is one of key ingredients for small-scale structure of the Universe, while dark matter annihilation is important for the indirect measurements. There is a strong correlation between the velocity-dependent self-scattering cross section and the Sommerfeld enhancement factor for the dark matter annihilation cross section. In this study, we formulate a direct relation between them by the use of Watson's (initial state/final state) theorem and Omnès solution, and our formulation reproduces the Sommerfeld enhancement factor, which directly computed by solving the Schrödinger equation, from the scattering phase shift.
