Flavoured leptogenesis and ${\rm CP}^{μτ}$ symmetry

description: We present a systematic study of leptogenesis in neutrino mass models with $μτ$-flavoured CP symmetry. In addition to the strong hierarchical $N_1$-dominated scenario ($N_1$DS) in the `two flavour regime' of leptogenesis, we show that one may choose the right-handed (RH) neutrino mass hierarchy as mild as $M_2\simeq 4.7 M_1$ for a perfectly valid hierarchical $N_1$DS. This in turn reduces the lower bound on the allowed values of $M_1$, compared to what is stated in the literature. The consideration of flavour effects due to the heavy neutrinos also translate into an upper bound on $M_1$. It is only below this bound that the observed baryon-to-photon ratio can be realized for a standard ${ N_1}$ domination, else a substantial part of the parameter space is also compatible with $N_2$DS. We deduce conditions under which the baryon asymmetry produced by the second RH neutrino plays an important role. Finally, we discuss another interesting scenario where lepton asymmetry generated by $N_2$ in the two flavour regime faces washout by $N_1$ in the three flavour regime. Considering a hierarchical light neutrino mass spectrum, which is now favoured by cosmological observations, we show that at the end of $N_1$-leptogenesis, the asymmetry generated by $N_2$ survives only in the electron flavour and around $33\%$ of the parameter space is consistent with a pure $N_2$-leptogenesis.

description: A class of dynamic models is developed to assess potential gains from management of groundwater in arid and semi-arid regions in the presence of technical change. The aquifer is a common-pool resource (CPR) because users typically hold the right to pump groundwater but do not own the water contained in the aquifer and since groundwater is a fugitive resource, the stock available to an irrigator depends dynamically on the levels of extraction by neighboring irrigators. Allocations result from profit maximizing behavior of irrigating farmers. Competitive outcomes are obtained from periodic profit maximization while planning, or management, outcomes result from maximization of the net present value of the stream of profits over the lifetime of the aquifer. The divergence between these two outcomes over time indicates the magnitude of the common-pool resource externality. Dynamical systems govern the evolution of the aquifer, the climate, and the rate of technical progress. These dynamical systems may be dependent upon periodic allocations, as in the case of the aquifer, or independent of the periodic allocations, as in the case of precipitation. A simplified example of the model incorporating only deterministic aquifer and technical change dynamics is presented as a linear-quadratic optimal control problem.

description: There are many simplifications in current relativistic reflection models and this introduces systematic uncertainties in the measurement of the properties of the source. In this paper, we study the impact of the radiation crossing the equatorial plane between the black hole and the inner edge of the accretion disk; that is, the radiation produced by the other side of the disk or circling the black hole one or more times (higher order disk images). For slow-rotating black holes with a larger plunging region, the effect is not very sensitive to the exact inclination angle of the disk. For fast-rotating black holes with a smaller plunging region, the effect is very weak for low inclination angles and becomes more important as the angle increases. We simulate some observations without and with higher order disk images and fit the data with the reflection model RELXILL_NK to check its capability of recovering the correct input parameters. Our results suggest that the effect of higher order disk images can be safely ignored for observations with present and near future X-ray missions, even for tests of the Kerr hypothesis.

Generalized (m,k)-Zipf law for fractional Brownian motion-like time series with or without effect of an additional linear trend

description: We have translated fractional Brownian motion (FBM) signals into a text based on two ''letters'', as if the signal fluctuations correspond to a constant stepsize random walk. We have applied the Zipf method to extract the $ζ'$ exponent relating the word frequency and its rank on a log-log plot. We have studied the variation of the Zipf exponent(s) giving the relationship between the frequency of occurrence of words of length $m<8$ made of such two letters: $ζ'$ is varying as a power law in terms of $m$. We have also searched how the $ζ'$ exponent of the Zipf law is influenced by a linear trend and the resulting effect of its slope. We can distinguish finite size effects, and results depending whether the starting FBM is persistent or not, i.e. depending on the FBM Hurst exponent $H$. It seems then numerically proven that the Zipf exponent of a persistent signal is more influenced by the trend than that of an antipersistent signal. It appears that the conjectured law $ζ' = |2H-1|$ only holds near $H=0.5$. We have also introduced considerations based on the notion of a {\it time dependent Zipf law} along the signal.

description: We study the positive energy unitary representations of 2N extended superconformal algebras OSp(8*|2N) in six dimensions. These representations can be formulated in a particle basis or a supercoherent state basis, which are labeled by the superspace coordinates in d=6. We show that the supercoherent states that form the bases of positive energy representations of OSp(8*|2N) can be identified with conformal superfields in six dimensions. The massless conformal superfields correspond precisely to the ultra short doubleton supermultiplets of OSp(8*|2N). The other positive energy unitary representations correspond to massive conformal superfields in six dimensions and they can be obtained by tensoring an arbitrary number of doubleton supermultiplets with each other. The supermultiplets obtained by tensoring two copies of the doubletons correspond to massless anti-de Sitter supermultiplets in d = 7.

description: Irrigated agriculture on the Southern High Plains of Texas relies heavily on water extracted from the Ogallala Aquifer, which is functionally non-renewable. Concerns about depletion of the aquifer have led to the implementation of policies designed to slow water extraction and increase the usable life of the resource. Policies have not been uniform across the aquifer, however, leaving some farmers in regions where no effective groundwater extraction policy exists yet, but are only a short distance away from regions where farmers do face regulatory limits on extraction. This paper investigates the effects of policy uncertainty on the extraction of groundwater in those areas where farmers must make irrigation decisions without knowing whether they will be restricted in their irrigation decisions in the future. We build a production model of the major crops in 6 counties in Texas, and use the quantity of corn (an irrigation-intensive crop) produced as a proxy for irrigation use. We find that corn acreage has increased significantly in years in which a policy was in place, but was officially unenforced in 5 of the 6 counties. After controlling for price and climate effects, we conclude that there is strong evidence that policy uncertainty increases groundwater extraction.

Pures Appl. 82 (2003), 1-42] a higher rank analog was considered, where the successive quotients of the oper filtration are allowed to have higher rank. We dedicate this paper to introducing and studying generalized $B$-opers (where "$B$" stands for "bilinear"), obtained by endowing the underlying vector bundle with a bilinear form which is compatible with both the filtration and the connection. In particular, we study the structure of these $B$-opers, by considering the relationship of these structures with jet bundles and with geometric structures on a Riemann surface.

description: With the productivity of US agriculture growing faster than domestic food and fiber demand, U.S farmers and agricultural firms rely heavily on export markets, to sustain price revenues. U.S agricultural exports have been larger than imports since 1960, generating a surplus in agricultural trade. The surplus helps counter the persistent deficit in non-agricultural merchandise trade, ERS - USDA (2013). From its modest beginning during the nineteenth century as a niche market, Asia has grown enormously in importance as a trading partner for the United States, (Foreign Trade Statistics, U.S Census Bureau). For example, by mid-2008, China accounted for 11.2% of all U.S trade behind Canada’s 17.9% share but ahead of Mexico’s 10.7%. This paper econometrically analyzes the export demand of U.S. meat products into these countries using the Export demand model. The model is applied to yearly aggregated data of U.S. meat product exports to some Asian countries from1980 to 2013. Export values were regressed on the per capita GDP of the countries in question, Exchange rates of the currencies of these countries to the U.S. dollar and WTO Membership. Results indicated that, per capita GDP and exchange rates positively affect the quantity of export.

description: The purpose of the present note is to propose, in the framework of relativistic quantum mechanics, a new Poincare-invariant equation for two particles with masses m_1, m_2 and spin s_1=s_2=1/2. It is a first-order linear differential equation for the eight-component wave function. With the help of this equation the description of the motion of two-particle systems is reduced to the description of one-particle systems in the (1+6)-dimensional Minkowski space which can be in two spin states (s=0 or s=1).

description: We conducted the systematic review and meta-analysis to comprehensively compare ablation and surgery in terms of effectiveness, safety and multiple factors affecting life quality of patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and EBSCO were searched for relevant studies published between January 1980 and September 2023. Two reviewers independently extracted data according to the PRISMA recommendations and assessed the quality of each study with the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. Pooled analyses were performed using random or fixed-effects models, as appropriate. A total of 4829 patients with PTC from 19 eligible studies were included. Through the meta-analysis, similar tumor progression (OR: 1.07; 95% CI 0.78, 1.48; p = 0.66) and recurrence-free survival (OR: 0.86; 95% CI, 0.55, 1.34; p = 0.50) were found between the patients undergoing ablation and those undergoing surgery. More strikingly, the lower risk of major complications (OR: 0.31; 95% CI 0.24, 0.41; p < 0.001), the shorter hospital stay (MD = 3.67 d; 95% CI, −4.89, −2.44; p < 0.001), the abbreviated procedure time (MD: −66.33 min, 95% CI, −77.08, −55.59; p < 0.001), the less intraoperative blood loss (MD: −27.43 ml, 95% CI, −34.60, −20.27; p < 0.001) and the lower treatment cost (MD: −860.42 USD, 95% CI, −1008.03, −712.81; p < 0.001) were noticed in ablation techniques compared to surgical operation. Thermal ablation has shown multiple advantages by virtue of its percutaneous puncture compared with surgical resection. As an effective, safe, minimally invasive and economical modality, thermal ablation might be a promising alternative to existing PTC management options.

description: The Lomax or Pareto II, distribution has been quite widely used for reliability modeling and life testing, and applied to the sizes of computer files on servers, and even application in the biological sciences. Especially, the bivariate Lomax distribution is considered for a two components system which works under interdependency circumstances. We here develop the noninformative priors such as the probability matching priors and the reference priors for the parameters in the bivariate lomax population. It turns out that the reference prior satisfy a first order matching criterion only for some parameter groupings. We also check the conditions for the propriety of posterior distributions under the general prior class including the matching priors and the reference priors. It is a quite interesting that the posterior distributions under the reference priors for some parameter groupings are proper, but those for the other parameter groupings are improper. However all of the matching priors give the proper posteriors.

description: Cost of reducing pollution to meet increasingly stringent air quality standards particularly for the U.S. cotton ginning industry is rising overtime. Most industry participants use cyclones to control air pollutants. These cyclones have no moving parts and their initial investment costs are relatively low. However, they require a substantial amount of energy to run them. Since the electricity rates are rising, the ginning industry is constantly looking for opportunities to increase cyclone operating efficiency and reduce the cost of complying with the local, state, and federal air pollution standards. Dust particles of size PM10 and PM2.5 are the pollutants of main concern for the industry. Researchers in the USDA’s Southwest Ginning Lab in Las Cruces are conducting experiments to evaluate whether using bigger diameter cyclones at lower inlet velocities can reduce the energy costs. If these experiments show that the bigger diameter cyclones can achieve the same level of air pollution control, it may substantially reduce energy cost and boost ginning industry profitability. This study uses the results from the ginning lab to evaluate the impact of using bigger cyclones at lower inlet velocity to reduce energy use, decrease emission, and increase profitability of the ginning industry.

Total factor productivity in Indonesian manufacturing, 1975-1993

description: This study uses quantitative techniques to estimate total factor productivity (TFP) growth for three-digit non-oil manufacturing industries in Indonesia over the period 1975 to 1993. The thesis begins with a review of growth and structural change in Indonesian manufacturing. Next, a literature review of various aspects of TFP and the theoretical framework is provided. TFP growth for individual sectors and aggregate. TFP growth are calculated and presented to demonstrate the effect of change in the policy regime on TFP growth. Then, the nexus between the economic environment and TFP is examined. The first part of the analysis is directed to measuring TFP growth in Indonesian manufacturing. A number of interesting findings emerged from the analysis. It is shown that periods of slower productivity growth coincided with periods of import substitution. It is also shown that economic deregulation from the mid 1980s enhanced TFP growth. Further decomposition of aggregate value added growth analysis reveals that, prior to the deregulation era; a considerable proportion of output growth was derived from , reallocation of resources and terms of trade gains, while TFP growth within sectors played! minor role. Conversely, during the deregulation era, reallocation of resources and term of trade gains no longer made substantial contribution to output growth, while TFP growth within sectors became more important. The second part of the analysis focuses on assessing the economic environment-TFP nexus. It was found that an increase in demand, whether it comes from import substitution or export expansion, has a strong influence on TFP growth. However, separate analysis for the pre and post-deregulation eras suggests that the importance of import substitution as a TFP growth stimulant diminished during the deregulation era, while export expansion was an important determinant of TFP growth for both periods. It was found that the higher the level of concentration, the higher the TFP growth. This seems to contradict the hypothesis that low competition is associated with high TFP growth. However, using a more accurate measure of competition - the market share instability index - it is shown that competition does positively affect TFP growth. The positive effect of competition on TFP growth is also supported by the finding that protection correlates negatively with TFP growth. The thesis also examined the effect of foreign and government ownership on TFP growth. However, the result is insignificant, probably due to data deficiencies in the estimation of the explanatory variables.

We calculate the production of the resonances $Ψ(3770), Ψ(4040)$ and $Ψ(4160)$ on various nuclei, their propagation and decay to $D, \bar{D}, D^*, \bar{D}^*, D_s, \bar{D}_s$ in the medium and vacuum, respectively. The modifications of the open charm vector mesons in the nuclear medium are found to be rather moderate or even small such that dilepton spectroscopy will require an invariant mass resolution of a few MeV. Furthermore, the elastic and inelastic interactions of the open charm mesons in the medium are taken into account, which can be related to $(u,d)$-, $s$- or $c$-quark exchange with nucleons. It is found that by studying the $D/\bar{D}$ ratio for low momenta in the laboratory ($\leq 2-2.2$ GeV/c) as a function of target mass $A$ stringent constraints on the $c$-quark exchange cross section can be obtained. On the other hand, the ratios $D^-_s/D^+_s$ as well as $D/D^-_s$ and $D/D^+_s$ at low momenta as a function of $A$ will permit to fix independently the strength of the $s$-quark exchange reaction in $D^-_s N$ scattering.

description: Levitated particles are a promising platform for precision sensing of external perturbations and probing the boundary between quantum and classical worlds. A critical obstacle for these applications is the difficulty of generating nonclassical states of motion which have not been realized so far. Here, we show that strong squeezing of the motion of a levitated particle below the vacuum level is feasible with available experimental parameters. Using suitable modulation of the trapping potential (which is impossible with clamped mechanical resonators) and coherent scattering of trapping photons into a cavity mode, we explore several strategies to achieve strong phase-sensitive suppression of mechanical fluctuations. We analyze mechanical squeezing in both transient and steady-state regimes, and discuss conditions for preparing nonclassical mechanical squeezing. Our results pave the way to full, deterministic optomechanical control of levitated particles in the quantum regime.

description: Recently, a new example of a complete non-compact Ricci-flat metric of G_2 holonomy was constructed, which has an asymptotically locally conical structure at infinity with a circular direction whose radius stabilises. In this paper we find a regular harmonic 3-form in this metric, which we then use in order to obtain an explicit solution for a fractional D2-brane configuration. By performing a T-duality transformation on the stabilised circle, we obtain the type IIB description of the fractional brane, which now corresponds to D3-brane with one of its world-volume directions wrapped around the circle.

description: An ultrarelativistic electron beam passing through an intense laser pulse emits radiation around its direction of propagation into a characteristic angular profile. Here we show that measurement of the variances of this profile in the planes parallel and perpendicular to the laser polarization, and the mean initial and final energies of the electron beam, allows the intensity of the laser pulse to be inferred in way that is independent of the model of the electron dynamics. The method presented applies whether radiation reaction is important or not, and whether it is classical or quantum in nature, with accuracy of a few per cent across three orders of magnitude in intensity. It is tolerant of electron beams with broad energy spread and finite divergence. In laser-electron beam collision experiments, where spatiotemporal fluctuations cause alignment of the beams to vary from shot to shot, this permits inference of the laser intensity at the collision point, thereby facilitating comparisons between theoretical calculations and experimental data.

description: Understanding and analyzing cascading failures in power grids have been the focus of many researchers for years. However, the complex interactions among the large number of components in these systems and their contributions to cascading failures are not yet completely understood. Therefore, various techniques have been developed and used to model and analyze the underlying interactions among the components of the power grid with respect to cascading failures. Such methods are important to reveal the essential information that may not be readily available from power system physical models and topologies. In general, the influences and interactions among the components of the system may occur both locally and at distance due to the physics of electricity governing the power flow dynamics as well as other functional and cyber dependencies among the components of the system. To infer and capture such interactions, data-driven approaches or techniques based on the physics of electricity have been used to develop graph-based models of interactions among the components of the power grid. In this survey, various methods of developing interaction graphs as well as studies on the reliability and cascading failure analysis of power grids using these graphs have been reviewed.

description: The spectacular experimental results of the last few years in cavity quantum electrodynamics and trapped ions research has led to very high level laboratory performances. Such a stimulating situation essentially stems from two decisive advancements. The first is the invention of reliable protocols for the manipulation of single atoms. The second is the ability to produce desired bosonic environments on demand. These progresses have led to the possibility of controlling the form of the coupling between individual atoms and an arbitrary number of bosonic modes. As a consequence, fundamental matter-radiation interaction models like, for instance, the JC model and most of its numerous nonlinear multiphoton generalizations, have been realized or simulated in laboratory and their dynamical features have been tested more or less in detail. This topical paper reviews the state of the art of the theoretical investigations and of the experimental observations concerning the dynamical features of the coupling between single few-level atoms and two bosonic modes. In the course of the paper we show that such a configuration provides an excellent platform for investigating various quantum intermode correlation effects tested or testable in the cavity quantum electrodynamics and trapped ion experimental realms. In particular we discuss a mode-mode correlation effect appearing in the dynamics of a two-level atom quadratically coupled to two bosonic modes. This effect, named parity effect, consists in a high sensitivity to the evenness or oddness of the total number of bosonic excitations.

Quark number susceptibilities from HTL-resummed thermodynamics

description: We compute analytically the diagonal quark number susceptibilities for a quark-gluon plasma at finite temperature and zero chemical potential, and compare with recent lattice results. The calculation uses the approximately self-consistent resummation of hard thermal and dense loops that we have developed previously. For temperatures between 1.5 to 5 $T_c$, our results follow the same trend as the lattice data, but exceed them in magnitude by about 5-10%. We also compute the lowest order contribution, of order $α_s^3\log(1/α_s)$, to the off-diagonal susceptibility. This contribution, which is not a part of our self-consistent calculation, is numerically small, but not small enough to be compatible with a recent lattice simulation.

description: Farmland values have traditionally been valued using seasonal temperature and precipitation. A new strand of the literature uses degree days over the growing season to predict farmland value. We find that degree days and daily temperature are interchangeable over the growing season. However, the way that degree days are used in these recent studies is problematic and leads to biased and inaccurate results. These new findings have serious implications for any study that copies this methodology.
Bulk Observers in Non-Factorizable Geometries

description: We consider five dimensional non-factorizable geometries where the transverse dimension is bounded and the remaining (parallel) dimensions are not. We study the construction of effective theories at distances much longer than the transverse size. An observer unable to resolve the transverse direction can only measure distances along the parallel dimensions, but the non-factorizable geometry makes the length of a curve along the parallel dimension sensitive to where on the transverse direction the curve lies. We show that long geodesics that differ in their endpoints only by shifts along the transverse direction all have the same length to within the observer's resolution. We argue that this is the correct notion of distance in the effective theory for a bulk observer. This allows us to present a consistent interpretation of what is measured by observers that live either on a brane or in the bulk.

Revisiting Worst-case DEA for Composite Indicators

description: Composite indicators are becoming increasingly infuential tools of environmental assessment and advocacy. Nonetheless, their use is controversial as they often rely on ad-hoc and theoretically problematic assumptions regarding normalization, aggregation, and weighting. Nonparametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods, originating in the production economics literature, have been proposed as a means of addressing these concerns. These methods dispense with contentious normalization and weighting techniques by focusing on a measure of best-case relative performance. Recently, the standard DEA model for composite indicators was extended to account for worst-case analysis by Zhou, Ang, and Poh [21] (hereafter, ZAP). In this note we argue that, while valid and interesting in its own right, the measure adopted by ZAP may not capture, in a mathematical as well as practical sense, the notion of worst-case relative performance. By contrast, we focus on the strict worst case analogue of standard DEA for composite indicators and show how it leads to tractable optimization problems. Finally, we compare the two methodologies using data from ZAP's Sustainable Energy Index case study, demonstrating that they occasionally lead to divergent results.
