description: The recent observations of f_0(980) in charmless B-decays motivate further studies of scalar particle and glueball production in these processes. Amplitudes for charmless 2-body B decays involving the members of the scalar nonet are presented based on the symmetries of the dominant penguin contribution. Different scenarios for the lightest scalar nonet are investigated in view of the presently available data. We describe the evidence from B-decays for f_0(1500) with a flavour octet like mixing and the hints towards the members of the q qbar nonet of lowest mass. There is further support for the hypothesis of a broad 0^{++} glueball acting as coherent background especially in B -> K Kbar K. The estimated B decay rates into gluonic mesons represent a sizable fraction of the theoretically derived decay rate for b -> sg.

 Material examined. OMAN 96-52. Wadi Taww, S of Halban, 0.60 m below sediment surface (in gravel and loam); UTM 0604748/2606459 (23‡34'N, 58‡01'E), 28.3‡C, 557 M S cm 21, 28 March 1996, 1” slide mounted in Hoyer’s fluid.
 Remarks. Idiosoma L/W 610/420; dorsal shield L/W 550/340; genital field L/W 140/145, with six pairs of acetabula; terminal segments of the anterior legs strongly thickened (e.g. I-L-6 L/H 155/55); dorsal L P-1–5 37, 61, 27, 71, 32. This species was previously known only from the Maharashtra State in India. In view of the large geographical distance, the morphological similarity is remarkable: only slight differences are found in measurements. The generally minor dimensions of palp segments are probably due to the fact that Cook (1967) gives total, not dorsal L values.

We deduce that if $(E_0,E_1)$ and $(F_0,F_1)$ are interpolation pairs with dense intersections, then under some conditions on the spaces $E_0$, $E_1$, $F_0$ and $F_1$, we have $$ [E_0\hat\otimes F_0,E_1\hat\otimes F_1]_t= [E_0, E_1]_t\hat\otimes[F_0, F_1]_t, 0 < t< 1.$$ We find also conditions on the spaces $E_0$, $E_1$, $F_0$ and $F_1$, so that the following holds $$ [E_0\wcheck\otimes F_0,E_1\wcheck\otimes F_1]_t= [E_0,E_1]_t\wcheck\otimes [F_0,F_1]_t, 0

description:
BACKGROUND: Missing and Murdered Indigenous People is a historic and contemporary issue that has gained national attention. In 2021, homicide was the eighth leading cause of death among American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) persons aged between 1 and 54 years old, and homicide is the sixth leading cause of death among all AIAN males aged 1-54 years old. AIM: These data will build knowledge around AIAN homicides and to identify circumstances that can aid in comprehensive Missing and Murdered Indigenous People prevention efforts. METHODS: AIAN homicide data came from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Violent Death Reporting System, a state/jurisdiction-based surveillance system that collects detailed information about characteristics and circumstances of violent deaths. We examined data from 2003 to 2020 (all available years) from participating states/jurisdictions. We also assessed sociodemographic characteristics of victims and suspects, incident characteristics and differences across dichotomised urban/rural status. The study was conducted in 2022. RESULTS: The National Violent Death Reporting System provided data on 2959 AIAN homicides from 2003 to 2020 (54.2% urban and 45.8% rural). Significant differences based on the two locations included type of weapon used, the location of the injury, race of the primary suspect, the victim's relationship to the suspect and select circumstances precipitating the homicide including crimes precipitating the homicide and homicides stemming from intimate partner violence. OUTCOMES: These findings provide crucial information to strengthen public health efforts for prevention.

description: From a unique data-set identifying the school attended prior to university for a full cohort of UK university students, we examine the determinants of ¯nal degree classi¯cation. We exploit the detailed school-level information and focus on the in°uence of school characteristics, such as school type, on subsequent performance of students at university. We estimate that, on average, a male (female) graduate who attended an Independent school is 6.5 (5.4) percentage points less likely to obtain a `good' degree than is a student who attended an LEA (that is, state-sector) school, ceteris paribus. We also ¯nd considerable variation around this average ¯gure across di®erent Independent schools. We ¯nd that, for males, the variation in the probability of attaining a `good' degree across schools can largely be explained by the level of school fees.

description: For almost twenty years the effects of a nonzero strange quark mass on the equation of state of cold and dense QCD were considered to be negligible, thereby yielding only minor corrections to the mass-radius diagram of compact stars. By computing the thermodynamic potential to first order in α_s, and including the effects of the renormalization group running of the coupling and strange quark mass, we show that corrections can be of the order of 25%, and dramatically affect the structure of compact stars.

Lyapunov Spreading of Semi-classical Wave Packets for the Lorentz Gas: Theory and Applications

description: We consider the quantum mechanical propagator for a particle moving in a $d$-dimensional Lorentz gas, with fixed, hard sphere scatterers. To evaluate this propagator in the semi-classical region, and for times less than the Ehrenfest time, we express its effect on an initial Gaussian wave packet in terms of quantities analogous to those used to describe the exponential separation of trajectories in the classical version of this system. This result relates the spread of the wave packet to the rate of separation of classical trajectories, characterized by positive Lyapunov exponents. We consider applications of these results, first to illustrate the behavior of the wave-packet auto-correlation functions for wave packets on periodic orbits. The auto-correlation function can be related to the fidelity, or Loschmidt echo, for the special case that the perturbation is a small change in the mass of the particle. An exact expression for the fidelity, appropriate for this perturbation, leads to an analytical result valid over very long time intervals, inversely proportional to the size of the mass perturbation. For such perturbations, we then calculate the long-time echo for semi-classical wave packets on periodic orbits. This paper also corrects an earlier calculation for a quantum echo, included in a previous version of this paper. We explain the reasons for this correction.

description: This article traces the coevolution of musical culture, law, and technology over the arc of modern Western legal and cultural history, from the Renaissance to the present day. This historical analysis is intended to lend context and substance to contemporary conversations about the role of the Internet and digital production platforms, as well as Internet-based intellectual property laws, such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, in shaping contemporary global musical culture. I propose a 5-stage coevolutionary process, based on the dialectical relationships between (1) laws and regulations, (2) market dynamics, (3) codes and practices, (4) music technologies, and (5) concepts of authorship.

description: Leptoquarks are one of the possible candidates for explaining various anomalies in flavour physics. Nonetheless, their existence is yet to be confirmed from experimental side. In this paper we have shown how zeros of single photon tree-level amplitude can be used to extract information about leptoquarks in case of $e$-$γ$ colliders. Small number of standard model backgrounds keep the signal clean in this kind of colliders. Unlike other colliders, the zeros of single photon amplitude here depend on $\sqrt{s}$ as well as the mass of leptoquark along with its electric charge. We perform a PYTHIA based simulation for reconstructing the leptoquark from its decay products of first generation and estimating the background with luminosity of 100 fb$^{-1}$. Our analysis is done for all the leptoquarks that can be seen at $e$-$γ$ collider with three different masses (70 GeV, 650 GeV and 1 TeV) and three different centre of momentum energy (200 GeV, 2 TeV and 3 TeV). The effects of non-monochromatic photons on the zeros of amplitude under laser backscattering and equivalent photon approximation have also been addressed.

description: In the second paper of this series we perfected our method of linking high precision Hubble Space Telescope astrometry to the high-accuracy Gaia DR2 absolute reference system to overcome the limitations of relative astrometry with narrow-field cameras. Our test case here is the Y brown dwarf WISE J163940.83-684738.6, observed at different epochs spread over a 6-yr time baseline with the Infra-Red channel of the Wide Field Camera 3. We derived significantly improved astrometric parameters compared to previous determinations, finding: (mu_RAcosDc,mu_DC,parallax) = (577.21+/-0.24mas/yr,-3108.39+/-0.27mas/yr,210.4+/-1.8mas). In particular, our derived absolute parallax corresponds to a distance of 4.75+/-0.05pc for the faint ultracool dwarf.

description: This paper investigates the effect of parents’ current income and long-term family characteristics on individuals’ highest educational qualification obtained by age 26 using UK data from the 1970 British Cohort Study. The issues of the possible sample selection bias produced by the not completely random omission of current family income and that of its potential endogeneity are addressed, using a hot-deck multiple imputation procedure and including an indicator of child ability, respectively. I find evidence that current family income has a statistically significant positive impact on children’s education, although it is one of negligible magnitude. Long-term family characteristics are far more important.

description: We investigate theoretically the transport properties of two independent artificial Kondo impurities. They are coupled together via a tunable Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yoshida (RKKY) interaction. For strong enough antiferromagnetic RKKY interaction, the impurity density of states increases with the applied in-plane magnetic field. This effect can be used to distinguish between antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic RKKY interactions. These results may be relevant to explain some features of recent experiments by Craig et al. (cond-mat/0404213).

description: We exploit individual-level administrative data for whole populations of UK university students for the leaving cohorts of 1985-1993 to investigate the determinants of graduate occupational earnings. Among other results, we find that there are significant differences in the occupational earnings of leavers, according to university attended, subject studied, and degree class awarded, ceteris paribus. We also find that the premium associated with the award of a high degree class increased between 1985/6 and 1993/4, a period of substantial expansion in the graduate population. We suggest that this is consistent with a signalling model of the returns to higher education qualifications.
Anomalous structural behavior and antiferroelectricity in BiGdO$_{3}$: Detailed temperature and high pressure study

description: A detailed temperature and pressure investigation on BiGdO$_{3}$ is carried out by means of dielectric constant, piezoelectric current, polarization-electric field loop, Raman scattering and x-ray diffraction measurements. Temperature dependent dielectric constant and dielectric loss show two anomalies at about 290 K (T$_r$) and 720 K (T$_C$). The later anomaly is most likely due to antiferroelectric to paraelectric transition as hinted by piezoelectric current and polarization-electric field loop measurements at room temperature, while the former anomaly suggests reorientation of polarization. Cubic to orthorhombic structural transition is observed at about 10 GPa in high pressure x-ray diffraction studies accompanied by anisotropic lattice parameter changes. An expansion about 30 % along $a$-axis and 15 % contraction along $b$-axis during the structural transition result in 9.5 % expansion in unit cell volume. This structural transition is corroborated by anomalous softening and large increase in full width half maximum (FWHM) of 640 cm$^{-1}$ Raman mode above 10 GPa. Enhancement of large structural distortion and significant volume expansion during the structural transition indicate towards an antiferroelectric to ferroelectric transition in the system.

description: The main contribution of this paper is to provide a framework in which the notion of farsighted stability for games, introduced by Chwe (1994), can be applied to directed networks. In particular, we introduce the notion of a supernetwork. A supernetwork is made up of a collection of directed networks (the nodes) and uniquely represents (via the arcs connecting the nodes) agent preferences and the rules governing network formation. By reformulating Chwe’s basic result on the nonemptiness of farsightedly stable sets, we show that for any supernetwork (i.e., for any collection of directed networks and any collection of rules governing network formation), there exists a farsightedly stable directed network. We also introduce the notion of a Nash network relative to a given supernetwork, as well as the notions of symmetric, nonsimultaneous, and decomposable supernetworks. To illustrate the utility of our framework, we present several examples of supernetworks, compute the farsightedly stable networks, and the Nash networks.

description: The turbulence-induced quasi-linear particle flux of a highly-charged, collisional impurity species is calculated from the electrostatic gyrokinetic equation including collisions with the bulk ions and the impurities themselves. The equation is solved by an expansion in powers of the impurity charge number $Z$. In this formalism, the collision operator only affects the impurity flux through the dynamics of the impurities in the direction parallel to the magnetic field. At reactor-relevant collisionality, the parallel dynamics is dominated by the parallel electric field, and collisions have a minor effect on the turbulent particle flux of highly-charged, collisional impurities.

title: A COMPARISON OF THE PRINCIPLES OF ILLEGALITY AS DEVELOPED BY THE COURTS AND THE PRINCIPLES OF MALADMINISTRATION AS DEVELOPED BY THE LOCAL OMBUDSMAN
Creators: name: McLeod, T
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: This thesis compares the basis on which the courts, operating through the judicial review procedure, hold local authorities' actions and inactions to be unlawful, with the basis on which the local ombudsman (commissioner for local administration) makes findings of maladministration in respect of local authorities. It begins with an account of the origins, nature and purpose of both judicial review and ombudsmanship, and considers aspects of the procedure by which each operates. It proceeds principally through an examination of the primary sources contained in the law reports and the local ombudsman reports, placing this material within its common law and statutory context. It concludes that although there are some significant differences between the two avenues of redress, there is a very large degree of overlap in terms of the kind of grievances with which each deals, and the principles which each applies.

description: Purpose Transactional sex or informal sexual exchange relationships increase adolescent girls' and young women's (AGYW) HIV and pregnancy risk in sub-Saharan Africa. These relationships are grounded in the shared expectation that men should provide financial support to their partners. We built a vignette experiment to assess whether gender norms influenced by expectations of provision help to explain how transactional sex increases AGYW's sexual and reproductive health risks. Methods We used mixed methods to develop a vignette experiment in Central Uganda with AGYW including 10 focus group discussions, 32 cognitive interviews, and a pilot survey experiment with 108 sexually active unmarried AGYW. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of the two manipulations for three vignettes. The vignettes examined whether the amount a man provided changed perceived social approval of men's authority in relationships, sexual decision-making power, or women having multiple partners. Results We find that a higher level of male provision is associated with higher levels of perceived community approval for his sexual decision-making power (p < .001) and lower levels of perceived peer approval for AGYW's to seek a second partner (p < .05). We also find that higher levels of male provision are associated with respondent's own approval of male authority and sexual decision-making. Conclusion Our findings suggest that approval of men's sexual decision-making power increases when they provide more and that girls who seek a second partner find higher levels of social approval for this behavior when their primary partner provides less. Vignette experiments may be valuable for identifying social norms that put AGYW's sexual and reproductive health at risk.

In the charge-exchange reaction $K^+Xe \to K^0 p Xe'$ the spectrum of $K^0 p$ effective mass shows a resonant enhancement with $M = 1539 \pm 2$ MeV/c$^2$ and $Γ\le 9 MeV/c$^2$. The statistical significance of the enhancement is near $4.4σ$. The mass and width of the observed resonance are consistent with expectations for the lightest member of the anti-decuplet of exotic pentaquark baryons, as predicted in the framework of the chiral soliton model.

In the heart (upper panel) we could detect some AGM staining (green) only in large vessels, and in the liver (lower panel), low AGM staining could be detected in a small fraction of non-vascular cells (presumably hepatocytes, arrowheads) but not in the vasculature. N = 3 mice; scale bar 50 µm. Figure S2. Absence of AGM expression in capillaries of developing peripheral organs. As in E12.5, AGM expression was specific to CNS vasculature also in E14.5, as it was not detected in developing vasculature of peripheral organs such as the heart, liver or lung. N = 3 mice; scale bar 100 µm (upper and middle panel) and 50 µm (lower panel).

description: We report a direct measurement of the 0-1 R(0) vibrational transition frequency in ground-state hydrogen deuteride (HD) using infrared-ultraviolet double resonance spectroscopy in a molecular beam. Ground-state molecules are vibrationally excited using a frequency comb referenced continuous-wave infrared laser, and the excited molecules are detected via state-selective ionization with a pulsed ultraviolet laser. We determine an absolute transition frequency of 111 448 815 477(13) kHz. The 0.12 parts-per-billion (ppb) uncertainty is limited primarily by the residual first-order Doppler shift.

description: The recent data for $J/ψ$ hadronic decays from BES raise ``puzzles" about the scalar meson properties, which are different from the naive OZI rule expectation. In this work, we study the implications of a glueball-$Q\bar{Q}$ mixing scheme in the scalar meson productions in $J/ψ$ hadronic decays. We show that the significant OZI violations in $J/ψ\to V f_0^i$ ($i=1,2,3$ correspond to $f_0(1710)$, $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1370)$, respectively) are consistent with the requirement of strong glueball-$Q\bar{Q}$ mixings within the scalar meson wavefunctions.

description: We found that the real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detection of viral RNA from sputum or nasopharyngeal swab has a relatively low positive rate in the early stage to determine COVID-19 (named by the World Health Organization). The manifestations of computed tomography (CT) imaging of COVID-19 had their own characteristics, which are different from other types of viral pneumonia, such as Influenza-A viral pneumonia. Therefore, clinical doctors call for another early diagnostic criteria for this new type of pneumonia as soon as possible.This study aimed to establish an early screening model to distinguish COVID-19 pneumonia from Influenza-A viral pneumonia and healthy cases with pulmonary CT images using deep learning techniques. The candidate infection regions were first segmented out using a 3-dimensional deep learning model from pulmonary CT image set. These separated images were then categorized into COVID-19, Influenza-A viral pneumonia and irrelevant to infection groups, together with the corresponding confidence scores using a location-attention classification model. Finally the infection type and total confidence score of this CT case were calculated with Noisy-or Bayesian function.The experiments result of benchmark dataset showed that the overall accuracy was 86.7 % from the perspective of CT cases as a whole.The deep learning models established in this study were effective for the early screening of COVID-19 patients and demonstrated to be a promising supplementary diagnostic method for frontline clinical doctors.

description: Precisely measuring molecular orientation is key to understanding how molecules organize and interact in soft matter, but the maximum theoretical limit of measurement precision has yet to be quantified. We use quantum estimation theory and Fisher information (QFI) to derive a fundamental bound on the precision of estimating the orientations of rotationally fixed molecules. While direct imaging of the microscope pupil achieves the quantum bound, it is not compatible with widefield imaging, so we propose an interferometric imaging system that also achieves QFI-limited measurement precision. Extending our analysis to rotationally diffusing molecules, we derive conditions that enable a subset of second-order dipole orientation moments to be measured with quantum-limited precision. Interestingly, we find that no existing techniques can measure all second moments simultaneously with QFI-limited precision; there exists a fundamental trade-off between precisely measuring the mean orientation of a molecule versus its wobble. This theoretical analysis provides crucial insight for optimizing the design of orientation-sensitive imaging systems.
How Much Did the Soviets Really Spend on Defence? New Evidence From the Close of the Brezhnev Era
Creators: name: Harrison, Mark

Year: 2003
Subjects: Financial Economics

description: The paper considers the influence of the budget for military spending in the Soviet command economy. A specific problem is that the Soviet strategy of concealment left us without good measures of the military burden on Soviet resources. The paper surveys previous western attempts to fill this gap alongside post–Brezhnev revelations. A new documentary source from 1982 that appears authoritative suggests much higher figures than anything proposed or revealed so far, and supports these higher figures in detail. However, the figures contain many puzzles and the authenticity of the document itself cannot be fully assured.

description: The aim of this paper is to analyse the out-of-sample performance of SETAR models relative to a linear AR and a GARCH model using daily data for the Euro effective exchange rate. The evaluation is conducted on point, interval and density forecasts, unconditionally, over the whole forecast period, and conditional on specific regimes. The results show that overall the GARCH model is better able to capture the distributional features of the series and to predict higher-order moments than the SETAR models. However, from the results there is also a clear indication that the performance of the SETAR models improves significantly conditional on being on specific regimes.
Mixing structures in the Mediterranean Sea from Finite-Size Lyapunov Exponents

description: We characterize horizontal mixing and transport structures in the surface circulation of the Mediterranean Sea, as obtained from a primitive equation circulation model. We calculate the Finite Size Lyapunov Exponents (FSLEs) of the velocity data set, which gives a direct measure of the local stirring. By proper election of the FSLE parameters, we focus on the mesoscale structures, locating a number of vortices embedded in an intricate network of high-stretching lines. These lines control transport in the system. At the edge of the vortices, a dense tangle of line intersections appears, identifying strong mixing. The spatial distribution of FSLEs, averaged over one year, allows to classify areas in the Mediterranean basin according by their mixing activity. The space average of FSLEs on selected geographical regions gives a measure for quantifying and comparing the mixing seasonal variability.

The Minimum Distance Problem for Two-Way Entanglement Purification
Creators: name: Ambainis, Andris

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Entanglement purification takes a number of noisy EPR pairs and processes them to produce a smaller number of more reliable pairs. If this is done with only a forward classical side channel, the procedure is equivalent to using a quantum error-correcting code (QECC). We instead investigate entanglement purification protocols with two-way classical side channels (2-EPPs) for finite block sizes. In particular, we consider the analog of the minimum distance problem for QECCs, and show that 2-EPPs can exceed the quantum Hamming bound and the quantum Singleton bound. We also show that 2-EPPs can achieve the rate k/n = 1 - (t/n) \log_2 3 - h(t/n) - O(1/n) (asymptotically reaching the quantum Hamming bound), where the EPP produces at least k good pairs out of n total pairs with up to t arbitrary errors, and h(x) = -x \log_2 x - (1-x) \log_2 (1-x) is the usual binary entropy. In contrast, the best known lower bound on the rate of QECCs is the quantum Gilbert-Varshamov bound k/n \geq 1 - (2t/n) \log_2 3 - h(2t/n). Indeed, in some regimes, the known upper bound on the asymptotic rate of good QECCs is strictly below our lower bound on the achievable rate of 2-EPPs.
