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

description: We study compact star made of degenerate hidden sector nucleons which will be a candidate for cold dark matter. A hidden sector like QCD is considered, and as the low energy effective theory we take (hidden sector) $ SU(2) $ chiral sigma model including hidden sector vector meson. With the mean field approximation, we find that one can treat the equation of state (EOS) of our model analytically by introducing a variable which depends on the Fermi momentum. The EOS is specified by the two parameters $ C'_{/sigma} $,$ C'_{/omega} $, and we discuss how these parameters affect on the mass-radius relation for compact star as well as on the EOS. The dependence of the maximum stable mass of compact stars on the parameter $ C'_{/sigma} $ will also be discussed.

description: ZrO2 coated highly porous biomass carbon nanocomposites (ZrO2@KHPC) were synthesized by calcination. The ZrO2 was derived from an amino-functionalized metal-organic framework and the porous biomass carbon material was derived from waste sunflower products. A selective electrochemical sensor was fabricated by modifying glass carbon electrodes (GCE) using ZrO2@KHPC to determine rutin. KHPC with a porous structure exhibited strong adsorption, high specific surface area, and superior electrical conductivity, whereas ZrO2 nanoparticles with an octahedral crystal structure and high electrocatalytic activity promote the specific recognition of rutin. The ZrO2@KHPC/GCE sensor demonstrated exceptional performance with a low detection limit of 0.008 µM and a sensitivity of 28.45 µA·µΜ−1·cm−2 from 0.01 to 40 µM. This excellent performance is attributed to the synergistic combination of ZrO2 and KHPC. In addition, the electrochemical sensor demonstrated suitable stability, good selectivity, high reproducibility, and satisfactory recovery for practical analysis.

description: With the Lattice Boltzmann method (using the BGK approximation) we investigate the dynamics of Hele-Shaw flow under conditions corresponding to various experimental systems. We discuss the onset of the instability (dispersion relation), the static properties (characterization of the interface) and the dynamic properties (growth of the mixing zone) of simulated Hele-Shaw systems. We examine the role of reactive processes (between the two fluids) and we show that they have a sharpening effect on the interface similar to the effect of surface tension.

description: The lack of added value from production systems with agro-ecological practices pose an economic transition barrier. The members of the Multi-Actor Platform in the country Nienburg in Lower Saxony, Germany, co-constructed a series of actions that can be pursued by local actors to stimulate the creation of markets that recognise the value that agro-ecological practices provide to society as well as the additional efforts of farmers. This Issue Brief summarises these recommendations. This Issue Brief is one of a set produced by the H2020 UNISECO project. Others are accessible on the Zenodo repository under the UNISECO Community. UNISECO is a European research project aiming to develop innovative approaches to enhance the understanding of socio-economic and policy drivers and barriers for further development and implementation of agro-ecological practices in EU farming systems.

description: The problem of event extraction is a relatively difficult task for low resource languages due to the non-availability of sufficient annotated data. Moreover, the task becomes complex for tail (rarely occurring) labels wherein extremely less data is available. In this paper, we present a new dataset (InDEE-2019) in the disaster domain for multiple Indic languages, collected from news websites. Using this dataset, we evaluate several rule-based mechanisms to augment deep learning based models. We formulate our problem of event extraction as a sequence labeling task and perform extensive experiments to study and understand the effectiveness of different approaches. We further show that tail labels can be easily incorporated by creating new rules without the requirement of large annotated data.

description: Topological neural networks (TNNs) are information processing architectures that model representations from data lying over topological spaces (e.g., simplicial or cell complexes) and allow for decentralized implementation through localized communications over different neighborhoods. Existing TNN architectures have not yet been considered in realistic communication scenarios, where channel effects typically introduce disturbances such as fading and noise. This paper aims to propose a novel TNN design, operating on regular cell complexes, that performs over-the-air computation, incorporating the wireless communication model into its architecture. Specifically, during training and inference, the proposed method considers channel impairments such as fading and noise in the topological convolutional filtering operation, which takes place over different signal orders and neighborhoods. Numerical results illustrate the architecture's robustness to channel impairments during testing and the superior performance with respect to existing architectures, which are either communication-agnostic or graph-based.

description: This study investigates the persistence of global terrorism in a panel of 163 countries for the period 2010–15. The empirical evidence is based on generalized method of moments. The following findings are established. First, persistence in terrorism is a decreasing function of income levels because it consistently increases from high-income (through upper middle-income) to lower middle-income countries. Second, compared with Christian-oriented countries, terrorism is more persistent in Islam-oriented nations. Third, landlocked countries also reflect a higher level of persistence relative to their coastal counterparts. Fourth, Latin American countries show higher degrees of persistence when compared with Middle East and North African countries. Fifth, the main determinants of the underlying persistence are political instability and weapons import. The results are discussed to provide answers to four main questions that directly pertain to the reported findings. These questions centre on why comparative persistence in terrorism is based on income levels, religious orientation, landlockedness and regions.

We started our debate in summer 1992 on the terrace of the famous CERN cafeteria. In the summer of 2001 we returned to the subject to find that our views still diverged and decided to explain our current positions. LBO develops the traditional approach with three constants, GV argues in favor of at most two (within superstring theory), while MJD advocates zero.

description: Die Einstellung zur Umsetzung agrarökologischer Praktiken wird stark durch Vertrauen zwischen Landwirt:innen und anderen Akteur:innen beeinflusst. Während das Vertrauen zwischen Beratungsanbietern und Landwirt:innen traditionell hoch ist, zeigt sich ein gewachsenes Misstrauen gegenüber Naturschutz- und Kontrollbehörden. Die Bereitschaft von Landwirt:innen zur Umsetzung wirksamer und häufig sogar einfach umsetzbarer Praktiken wird auch in hohem Maße durch fehlendes Wissen zur praktischen Umsetzung und deren Nutzen beeinträchtigt. Wissenslücken lassen sich durch einen Mangel an vertrauenswürdigem Wissenstransfer und einem geringen Verbreitungs-grad agrarökologisch ausgerichteter Kooperationen erklären, die auf eine im Agrar-Umwelt-Sektor spezialisierte Beratung zurückgreifen können. Mit lokalen Akteur:innen wurden in der deutschen Fallstudie im Landkreis Nienburg Empfehlungen erarbeitet, wie das Wissen zu und das Bewusstsein für agrarökologische Ansätze gesteigert werden kann. Der Policy Brief fasst diese Empfehlungen zusammen. This Policy Brief of the German case study in Lower Saxony is one of a set produced by the H2020 UNISECO project.

description: We study specific star formation rate (sSFR) and gas profiles of star forming and green valley galaxies in the Simba cosmological hydrodynamic simulation. Star-forming galaxy half-light radii ($R_{\rm half}$) at $z=0$ and their evolution ($\propto(1+z)^{-0.78}$) agree with observations. Passive galaxy $R_{\rm half}$ agree with observations at high redshift, but by $z=0$ are too large, owing to numerical heating. We compare Simba $z=0$ sSFR radial profiles for star forming and green valley galaxies to observations. Simba shows strong central depressions in star formation rate (SFR), sSFR, and gas fraction in green valley galaxies and massive star-forming systems, qualitatively as observed, owing to black hole X-ray feedback, which pushes central gas outwards. Turning off X-ray feedback leads to centrally peaked sSFR profiles as in other simulations. In conflict with observations, Simba yields green valley galaxies with strongly dropping sSFR profiles beyond $\gtrsim R_{\rm half}$, regardless of AGN feedback. The central depression owes to lowering molecular gas content; the drop in the outskirts owes to reduced star formation efficiency. Simba's satellites have higher central sSFR and lower outskirts sSFR than centrals, in qualitative agreement with observations. At $z=2$ Simba does not show central depressions in massive star-forming galaxies, suggesting Simba's X-ray feedback should be more active at high-$z$. High resolution tests indicate central sSFR suppression is not sensitive to numerical resolution. Reproducing the central sSFR depression in $z=0$ green valley galaxies represents a unique success of Simba. The remaining discrepancies highlight the importance of SFR and gas profiles in constraining quenching mechanisms.

description: We study the effects of the outer boundary conditions in neutrino-driven winds on the r-process nucleosynthesis. We perform numerical simulations of hydrodynamics of neutrino-driven winds and nuclear reaction network calculations of the r-process. As an outer boundary condition of hydrodynamic calculations, we set a pressure upon the outermost layer of the wind, which is approaching toward the shock wall. Varying the boundary pressure, we obtain various asymptotic thermal temperature of expanding material in the neutrino-driven winds for resulting nucleosynthesis. We find that the asymptotic temperature slightly lower than those used in the previous studies of the neutrino-driven winds can lead to a successful r-process abundance pattern, which is in a reasonable agreement with the solar system r-process abundance pattern even for the typical proto-neutron star mass Mns ~ 1.4 Msun. A slightly lower asymptotic temperature reduces the charged particle reaction rates and the resulting amount of seed elements and lead to a high neutron-to-seed ratio for successful r-process. This is a new idea which is different from the previous models of neutrino-driven winds from very massive (Mns ~ 2.0 Msun) and compact (Rns ~ 10 km) neutron star to get a short expansion time and a high entropy for a successful r-process abundance pattern. Although such a large mass is sometimes criticized from observational facts on a neutron star mass, we dissolve this criticism by reconsidering the boundary condition of the wind. We also explore the relation between the boundary condition and neutron star mass, which is related to the progenitor mass, for successful r-process.

description: Explicit models for the restricted conformal group of the Einstein static universe of dimension greater than two and for its universal covering group are constructed. Based on these models, as an application we determine all oriented and time-oriented conformal Lorentz manifolds whose restricted conformal group has maximal dimension. They amount to the Einstein static universe itself and two countably infinite series of its compact quotients.

description: We extend various recent results regarding the derivation of effective cosmological Friedmann equations from the dynamics of group field theory (GFT). Restricting ourselves to a single GFT field mode (or fixed values of Peter-Weyl representation labels), we first consider dynamics given by a quadratic Hamiltonian, which takes the form of a squeezing operator, and then add a quartic interaction that can be seen as a toy model for interactions in full GFT. Our derivation of effective Friedmann equations does not require a mean-field approximation; we mostly follow a general approach in which these equations in fact hold for any state. The resulting cosmological equations exhibit corrections to classical Friedmann dynamics similar to those of loop quantum cosmology, leading to generic singularity resolution, but also involve further state-dependent terms. We then specify these equations to various types of coherent states, such as Fock coherent states or Perelomov-Gilmore states based on the su(1,1) structure of harmonic quantum cosmology. We compute relative uncertainties of volume and energy in these states, clarifying whether they can be interpreted as semiclassical. In the interacting case, both analytical and numerical approximations are used to obtain modified cosmological dynamics. Our results clarify how effective cosmological equations derived from GFT can provide reliable approximations to the full dynamics.

description: The effect of gamma irradiation upon the bioactive potentials of selected Cucurbitaceae seeds commonly known as Char Magaz was investigated. The seeds were irradiated in triplicate at doses of 1, 5, 10, and 20 kGy gamma rays in a cobalt-60 irradiator. These were extracted with n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol and the extracts were concentrated by rotary evaporation. The antimicrobial effects of the irradiated and non-irradiated samples against bacterial strains and the fungal strains were assessed by the agar-well diffusion method and the minimal inhibitory concentration technique. The antioxidant activities were determined via 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) methods. The chloroform extract of cucumber seeds exhibited the greatest zone of inhibition (18.0 mm) against S. aureus. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for antibacterial and antifungal activities ranged from 320.0 to 1280 µg/mL, and 0.50 to 16.0 µg/mL, respectively. Seeds exposed up to 10 kGy gamma irradiation increased DPPH and ABTS scavenging activities. Comparatively, all seed extracts showed high antioxidant potentials in the FRAP assay at all doses. The results suggested that gamma irradiation up to 10 kGy enhances bioactivities of the analyzed seeds.

In this study, lead(II) determination was demonstrated based on phosphorescence enhancement using 1-thioglycerol-capped Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots. Under the optimized conditions, good linear correlations were obtained for Pb2+ from 10.00 to 5000 nM and 0.05000 to 100.0 mM with correlation coefficients of 0.9997 and 0.9979 and a detection limit of 2.56 nM. The method demonstrates good linearity and selectivity, suitable sensitivity, easy operation, and the determination of Pb2+ in Chinese herbal medicine.

description: Recently, one analog of the Anderson's Theorem for the $s$-wave superconductor has attracted much interest in the context of the $p$-wave polar pairing state of superfluid $^3$He in a model aerogel in the limit of strong uniaxial anisotropy. We discuss to what extent the theorem is satisfied in the polar phase in real aerogels by examining the normal to polar transition temperature $T_c$ and the low temperature behavior of the superfluid energy gap under an anisotropy of a moderate strength and comparing the obtained results with experimental data. The situation in which the Anderson's theorem clearly breaks down is also discussed.

description: Warm inflation has been noted previously as a possible way to implement inflationary models compatible with the dS swampland bounds. But often in these discussions the heat bath dynamics is kept largely unspecified. We point out that the recently introduced Minimal Warm Inflation of arXiv:1910.07525, where an axionic coupling of the inflaton leads to an explicit model for the thermal bath, yields models of inflation that can easily fit cosmological observations while satisfying de Sitter swampland bounds, as well as the swampland distance bound and trans-Planckian censorship.

description: The nature of freezing and melting transitions for a system of model colloids interacting by a DLVO potential in a spatially periodic external potential is studied using extensive Monte Carlo simulations. Detailed finite size scaling analyses of various thermodynamic quantities like the order parameter, its cumulants etc. are used to map the phase diagram of the system for various values of the reduced screening length $κa_{s}$ and the amplitude of the external potential. We find clear indication of a reentrant liquid phase over a significant region of the parameter space. Our simulations therefore show that the system of soft disks behaves in a fashion similar to charge stabilized colloids which are known to undergo an initial freezing, followed by a re-melting transition as the amplitude of the imposed, modulating field produced by crossed laser beams is steadily increased. Detailed analysis of our data shows several features consistent with a recent dislocation unbinding theory of laser induced melting.

description: The willingness to implement agro-ecological practices is shaped by trust between farmers and other actors. While the level of trust between the advisory services and farmers is often rather high, lack of trust is an issue when implementing or monitoring policy measures, such as agri-environmental schemes. The attitude and beliefs of farmers are also negatively affected by knowledge gaps on suitable agro-ecological practices and their benefits. These gaps can be explained by low levels of cooperation and capacity building regarding agro-ecological practices, and due to farmers being unaware of funding opportunities for receiving suitable advice. Recommendations were co-constructed with local actors to address knowledge gaps and attitudes. Building trust between farmers and actors who are, or will, collaborate in the context of converting to agro-ecological farming is particularly important to also achieve the objectives of the “Lower Saxony Path”, a new agreement by the ministries, the agricultural sector and nature conservation associations to enhance biodiversity and water quality. Recommendations include: Establishing formal knowledge networks of farmers and other rural actors with trusted and skilled agro-ecology advisors as permanent network managers. Amplifying trusting relationships between farmers and advisors to facilitate the network development, and building on peer-to-peer engagement through farmers that are already experienced in cooperation. Support is required that facilitates the education and introduction of local network managers, the integration of advice into agri-environmental schemes, and improving agro-ecological know-how of advisors and controllers.

description: L'uomo a una dimensione è un individuo il cui pensiero è reso sistematicamente meno profondo e che è incapace di concepire seriamente un'alternativa all'ordine costituito. Vi sono nel linguaggio degli aspetti formali che hanno una natura distinta dall’essenza del pensiero; tali aspetti formali vengono rinforzati dall'interazione con gli oggetti materiali e dalla competizione intraspecifica. La situazione dell'uomo a una dimensione è vista come il frutto dell'avanzata di queste strutture formali, le quali si realizzano nel sistema tecnologico e scientifico e vengono impiegate dai vertici del potere come strumento di dominio.
Una possibile linea guida da seguire per cambiare questo stato di cose è rendere più visibile l'interiorità del pensiero per mezzo di un vocabolario spirituale adeguato, che al tempo stesso sappia mantenersi in relazione col patrimonio di sapere oggettivo fornito dalla scienza.

description: From the perspective of Bṛhatkōṁkaṇ - or the Greater Kōṁkaṇ which includes both the coastal and trans-Sahyādri territories - we could divide the brāhmaṇ into two broad categories : those who entered it through the sea, and those who entered it by crossing the Vindhya. The koṁkaṇasth- deśasth distinction seems to be just that; but in reality it is not. The former comprises of just one group of brāhmaṇ : the citpāvan; it does not include the sārasvat. The latter, includes all the brāhmaṇ who originated in the deś, but for the karhāḍē. Definitely there is something amiss here. In terms of the pañc gauḍ -pañc drāviḍ division, both the citpāvan (koṁkaṇasth) and the deśasth are conventionally included among the pañc drāviḍ along with the karhāḍē; while the sārasvat are conventionally included among the pañc gauḍ.

description: The onset of frictional motion at the interface between two distinct bodies in contact is characterized by the propagation of dynamic rupture fronts. We combine friction experiments and numerical simulations to study the properties of these frictional rupture fronts. We extend previous analysis of slow and sub-Rayleigh rupture fronts and show that strain fields and the evolution of real contact area in the tip vicinity of supershear ruptures are well described by analytical fracture-mechanics solutions. Fracture-mechanics theory further allows us to determine long sought-after interface properties, such as local fracture energy and frictional peak strength. Both properties are observed to be roughly independent of rupture speed and mode of propagation. However, our study also reveals discrepancies between measurements and analytical solutions that appear as the rupture speed approaches the longitudinal wave speed. Further comparison with dynamic simulations illustrates that, in the supershear propagation regime, transient and geometrical (finite sample thickness) effects cause smaller near-tip strain amplitudes than expected from the fracture-mechanics theory. By showing good quantitative agreement between experiments, simulations and theory over the entire range of possible rupture speeds, we demonstrate that frictional rupture fronts are classic dynamic cracks despite residual friction.

description: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small molecules with significant regulatory functions that have served as biomarkers for the early diagnosis of disease. Accordingly, it is purposeful to develop a rapid, targeted assay for the sensitive, selective, and determination of target miRNAs. Single-band red emission of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) offer high photostability, large anti-Stokes shifts, and low background. Additionally, improving the accuracy via dual-signal fluorescence is also effective for reducing false positive signals induced by background. Herein, taking advantage of the single-band red emission of UCNPs and DNA complementary nanotechnologies, a target-triggered self-assembled dual-signal response biosensor via a strand displacement cascade is reported. The reported approach was used for the determination of miRNA-222 (a model analyte) in serum and the results were similar to those obtained by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The spiked recoveries were from 92.5 to 108.4%, indicating that this biosensor has potential for accurate and sensitive determination of miRNAs in biological samples.
title: GAMBE: GAMma Blind neutron Efficient detector

description: Thermal neutron detectors, which are based on semiconductor material such as silicon coated with neutron reactive material like 10B and 6Li have been discussed for many decades. The performance of the thermal neutron detector system, GAMBE, which is based on two silicon sensors in a sandwich configuration is investigated. The results show that a single sandwich design with 6LiF film of (1.5 ± 0.6) mg/cm2 thick can achieve a total ("tn) and a coincidence ("cn) detection efficiency of 4% and 1% respectively. While, 6Li foil of (40 ± 10) μm thick is able to attain a ("cn) of (1.5 ± 0.9)% and a ("tn) of (9.2 ± 1.4)%. The coincidence that defines a true neutron hit is the simultaneous signal recorded by the two sensors facing the conversion layer. These coincidences provide a very good method for rejecting spurious hits coming from gamma-rays, which are usually present in the neutron field under measurement. This methodology results in a high gamma-ray rejection factor of 108. However, the price to pay is a reduction of the detection efficiency of the single sandwich detector. The thermal neutron detection efficiency of the detector is enhanced by using a stacked detector configuration and highdensity polyethylene (HDPE) sheets, as neutron moderators and reflectors. The GAMBE detector is positioned inside a box of HDPE with a lead window in the direction of the neutron flux for neutron moderation and a reduction of the effect of gamma-rays on the detector. The experimental layout was modeled in MCNP4C to investigate the contribution of HDPE to the thermal neutron flux (n/s/cm2). In this research, a stack of 4 silicon semiconductor sensors with two 6LiF films of an average thickness of (2.8 ± 0.6) mg/cm2 in a configuration of two sandwiches is shown to achieve a total and a coincidence detection efficiency of (27 ± 3)% and (4 ± 1)% respectively. This represents a significant improvement compared to a single detector. The effect of these stacked detectors for the development of a handheld thermal neutron detector, using 4 coated Si detectors is shown to have a 22% efficiency. Finally, this information is used to inform the optimised design of the handheld detector. The results based on GEANT4 and MCNP4C simulations indicate that the total detection efficiency of this portable detector with a stack of 7 sandwich detectors will increase up to 52% by using an optimal thickness of a 6LiF film of 17 μm (3.95 mg/cm2). This handheld detector has a highest total detection efficiency of 69% when using a 6Li foil of 36 μm thick.

description: The thermodynamics of a charge-asymmetric lattice gas of positive ions carrying charge $q$ and negative ions with charge $-zq$ is investigated using Debye-Hückel theory. Explicit analytic and numerical calculations, which take into account the formation of neutral and charged clusters and cluster solvation by the residual ions, are performed for $z=2$, 3 and 4. As charge asymmetry increases, the predicted critical point shifts to lower temperatures and higher densities. This trend agrees well with the results from recent Monte Carlo simulations for continuum charge-asymmetric hard-sphere ionic fluids and with the corresponding predictions from continuum Debye-Hückel theory.

description: Effects of QScan on Plaque And Demineralisation in Orthodontic Patients. SARKHOUH. S. S. ; FLANNIGAN. N.; BURNSIDE. G.; HIGHAM. S. (Liverpool University Dental Hospital) Objective: To test the efficacy of the QScan oral hygiene device used by patients with fixed orthodontics appliances and its effect on plaque accumulation and demineralisation. Design and Setting: A prospective randomised control trial was undertaken at Liverpool University Dental Hospital. Materials and methods: Sixty patients with upper and lower fixed orthodontic appliances were recruited and randomly divided into two groups. The intervention group was provided with the QScan device to use as an at home oral hygiene adjunct. The control group were asked to continue with thier oral hygiene care at home without the use of QScan. Both groups were assessed over a period of three orthodontic appointments. At each visit Quantitative Light Fluorescence Induced - Digital (QLF-D) photographs were taken of the dentition in an aim to quantify the amount of plaque and demineralisation. Results: Fifty-six (93.3%) participants completed the study. There was a total reduction in plaque accumulation in the QScan group, which was statistically significant (p<0.001) when compared to the control group (t-test analysis). Though there was an evident reduction in plaque accumulation, this did not reflect on the levels of demineralisation. Data analysis revealed that the changes in demineralisation between the QScan and control group were insignificant (p>0.05). Conclusions: The Qscan device has shown to be an effective adjunct for plaque control in orthodontic patients following a longitudinal assessment. However, this reduction did not translate to a significant reduction in demineralisation following an average 15 week assessment.
