description: The amplitude of density perturbations, for the currently-favoured LambdaCDM cosmology, is constrained using the observed properties of galaxy clusters. The catalogue used is that of Ikebe et al. (2002). The cluster temperature to mass relation is obtained via N-body/hydrodynamical simulations including radiative cooling and preheating of cluster gas, which we have previously shown to reproduce well the observed temperature--mass relation in the innermost parts of clusters (Thomas et al. 2002). We generate and compare mock catalogues via a Monte Carlo method, which allows us to constrain the relation between X-ray temperature and luminosity, including its scatter, simultaneously with cosmological parameters. We find a luminosity-temperature relation in good agreement with the results of Ikebe et al. (2002), while for the matter power spectrum normalization, we find $σ_8 = 0.78_{-0.06}^{+0.30}$ at 95 per cent confidence for $Ω_0 = 0.35$. Scaling to WMAP's central value of $Ω_0 = 0.27$ would give a best-fit value of $σ_8 \simeq 0.9$.

description: The signatures of the creation of a disoriented chiral condensate in heavy-ion collisions are studied in the Ginzburg-Landau description of chiral phase transition. Scaling properties are found that characterize the fluctuations of charged particles. There exists also an explicitly calculable measure that can directly be measured. Experimental procedures needed to find the signatures are discussed.

Reevaluation of the role of nuclear uncertainties in experiments on atomic parity violation with isotopic chains

description: In light of new data on neutron distributions from experiments with antiprotonic atoms [ Trzcinska {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 082501 (2001)], we reexamine the role of nuclear-structure uncertainties in the interpretation of measurements of parity violation in atoms using chains of isotopes of the same element. With these new nuclear data, we find an improvement in the sensitivity of isotopic chain measurements to ``new physics'' beyond the standard model. We compare possible constraints on ``new physics'' with the most accurate to date single-isotope probe of parity violation in the Cs atom. We conclude that presently isotopic chain experiments employing atoms with nuclear charges Z < 50 may result in more accurate tests of the weak interaction.

Supersymmetry and a rationale for small CP violating phases

description: We analyse the CP problem in the context of a supersymmetric extension of the standard model with universal strength of Yukawa couplings. A salient feature of these models is that the CP phases are constrained to be very small by the hierarchy of the quark masses, and the pattern of CKM mixing angles. This leads to a small amount of CP violation from the usual KM mechanism and a significant contribution from supersymmetry is required. Due to the large generation mixing in some of the supersymmetric interactions, the electric dipole moments impose severe constraints on the parameter space, forcing the trilinear couplings to be factorizable in matrix form. We find that the LL mass insertions give the dominant gluino contribution to saturate epsilon_K. The chargino contributions to epsilon'/epsilon are significant and can accommodate the experimental results. In this framework, the standard model gives a negligible contribution to the CP asymmetry in B-meson decay, a_{J/ψK_s}. However, due to supersymmetric contributions to B_d-\bar{B}_d mixing, the recent large value of a_{J/ψK_s} can be accommodated.

description: For scale-free networks with degrees following a power law with an exponent $τ\in(2,3)$, the structures of motifs (small subgraphs) are not yet well understood. We introduce a method designed to identify the dominant structure of any given motif as the solution of an optimization problem. The unique optimizer describes the degrees of the vertices that together span the most likely motif, resulting in explicit asymptotic formulas for the motif count and its fluctuations. We then classify all motifs into two categories: motifs with small and large fluctuations.

description: How do sub-state regions respond to immigration and what drives their policy choices? Combining the cross-national literature on citizenship and integration policy with the literature on immigration federalism, it is hypothesized that sub-state nationalism and multilevel party politics explain why some regions formulate more restrictive immigrant integration policies than others. Analyzing integration laws of German, Italian and Spanish regions demonstrates that socioeconomically inclusive measures dominate, regardless of national context. Where restrictive provisions occur at all, they are associated with minority nationalism and the strength of anti-immigrant parties, while leftist regions facing right-wing national governments tend to adopt a more inclusive policies.

Dressed gluon exponentiation

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

description: Perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of differential cross-sections close to a kinematic threshold are studied applying ``dressed gluon exponentiation'' (DGE). The factorization property of soft and collinear gluon radiation is demonstrated using the light-cone axial gauge: it is shown that the singular part of the squared matrix element for the emission of an off-shell gluon off a nearly on-shell quark is universal. We derive a generalized splitting function that describes the emission probability and show how Sudakov logs emerge from the phase-space boundary where the gluon transverse momentum vanishes. Both soft and collinear logs associated with a single dressed gluon are computed through a single integral over the running-coupling to any logarithmic accuracy. The result then serves as the kernel for exponentiation. The divergence of the perturbative series in the exponent indicates specific non-perturbative corrections. We identify two classes of observables according to whether the radiation is from an initial-state quark, as in the Drell-Yan process, or a final-state quark, forming a jet with a constrained invariant mass, as in fragmentation functions, event-shape variables and deep inelastic structure functions.

description: The effects of the concentration of human capital on wages and productivity have been widely studied, but despite their heterogeneity, little attention has been paid to its effects on the wage gap. This paper assesses the impacts of human capital externalities on wages and on the US wage gap. The main results suggest a positive association between the share of high-educated workers and the wage gap between high- and low-educated workers. Moreover, the effect associated with the concentration of high-educated workers is entirely captured by changes in their wages, as wages of low- and medium-educated workers are statistically unaffected.

description: We develop a unified theory and methodology for the inference of evolutionary Fourier power spectra for a general class of locally stationary and possibly nonlinear processes. In particular, simultaneous confidence regions (SCR) with asymptotically correct coverage rates are constructed for the evolutionary spectral densities on a nearly optimally dense grid of the joint time-frequency domain. A simulation based bootstrap method is proposed to implement the SCR. The SCR enables researchers and practitioners to visually evaluate the magnitude and pattern of the evolutionary power spectra with asymptotically accurate statistical guarantee. The SCR also serves as a unified tool for a wide range of statistical inference problems in time-frequency analysis ranging from tests for white noise, stationarity and time-frequency separability to the validation for non-stationary linear models.

description: Assuming four-neutrino mixing and massive Majorana neutrinos, we study the implications of the neutrino oscillation solutions of the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems, of the results of the LSND experiment and of the constraints on neutrino oscillations, obtained in reactor and accelerator experiments, for the predictions of the effective Majorana mass in neutrinoless double beta (\betabeta-)decay, \meff. All 4-neutrino mass spectra compatible with the existing neutrino mass and oscillation data are considered. The general case of CP-nonconservation is investigated. We have also analyzed in detail the question of whether a measurement of $\meff \gtap 0.01$ eV in the next generation of \betabeta-decay experiments (NEMO3, CUORE, EXO, GENIUS), combined with the data from the solar, atmospheric, reactor and accelerator neutrino oscillation experiments and from the future neutrino mass $^3$H $β-$decay experiment KATRIN would allow, and under what conditions, i) to determine the absolute values of the neutrino masses and thus the neutrino mass spectrum, and ii) to establish the existence of CP-violation in the lepton sector. For certain 4-neutrino mass spectra there exists a direct relation between \meff or the lightest neutrino mass $m_1$ and the neutrino mass measured in $^3$H $β-$decay, $m_{ν_e}$, and the measurement of $\meff \gtap 0.01$ eV and of $m_{ν_e} \gtap 0.4$ eV will give the unique possibility to determine the absolute values of all four neutrino masses and to obtain information on CP-violation in the lepton sector.

description: In this paper we offer a solution to a long-standing problem in the study of networks. Message passing is a fundamental technique for calculations on networks and graphs. The first versions of the method appeared in the 1930s and over the decades it has been applied to a wide range of foundational problems in mathematics, physics, computer science, statistics, and machine learning, including Bayesian inference, spin models, coloring, satisfiability, graph partitioning, network epidemiology, and the calculation of matrix eigenvalues. Despite its wide use, however, it has long been recognized that the method has a fundamental flaw: it only works on networks that are free of short loops. Loops introduce correlations that cause the method to give inaccurate answers at best, and to fail completely in the worst cases. Unfortunately, almost all real-world networks contain many short loops, which limits the usefulness of the message passing approach. In this paper we demonstrate how to rectify this shortcoming and create message passing methods that work on any network. We give two example applications, one to the percolation properties of networks and the other to the calculation of the spectra of sparse matrices.

description: Soil fertility depletion is considered one of the main biophysical limiting factors for increasing per capita food production for smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa. The adoption and diffusion of sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs), as a way to tackle this challenge, has become an important issue in the development policy agenda in the region. This paper examines the adoption decisions for SAPs, using recent primary data of multiple plot-level observations collected in 4 districts and 60 villages of rural Tanzania. The paper employs a multivariate probit technique to model simultaneous interdependent adoption decisions by farm households. The analysis reveals that rainfall, insects and disease shocks, government effectiveness in provision of extension services, tenure status of plot, social capital, plot location and size, and household assets, all influence farmer investment in SAPs. Policies that target SAPs and are aimed at 1 Corresponding author: Menale Kassie: m.kassie@cgiar.org.

description: The DDrho form factor is evaluated in a QCD sum rule calculation for both D and rho off-shell mesons. We study the double Borel sum rule for the three point function of two pseudoscalar and one vector meson currents. We find that the momentum dependence of the form factors is very different if the D or the rho meson is off-shell, but they lead to the same coupling constant in the DDrho vertex. We discuss two different approaches to extract the DDrho coupling constant.

description: Charitable giving is one of the major obligations Islam and a strong Muslim norm endorses giving to the needy, but discourages public displays of giving. This norm is puzzling in light of previous evidence, suggesting that making donations public often increases giving. We report the results two field experiments with 534 and 186 participants at Moroccan educational institutions (among them two religious schools) to assess the effects this moral prescription on actual giving levels in anonymous and public settings. Subjects who participated in a paid study were given the option to donate from their payment to a local orphanage, under treatments that varied the publicity of the donation and the salience of Islamic values. In the salient Islamic treatment, anonymity of donations significantly increased donation incidence from 59% to 77% percent as well as average donations for religious subjects from 8.90 to 13.00 Dh. This findings stand in stark contrast to most previous findings in the charitable giving literature and suggest to rethink fundraising strategies in Muslim populations.

description: In this paper we excavate, for the first time, the most general class of conformal Killing vectors, that lies in the two dimensional subspace described by the null and radial co-ordinates, that are admitted by the generalised Vaidya geometry. Subsequently we find the most general class of generalised Vaidya mass functions that give rise to such conformal symmetry. From our analysis it is clear that why some well known subclasses of generalised Vaidya geometry, like pure Vaidya or charged Vaidya solutions, admit only homothetic Killing vectors but no proper conformal Killing vectors with non constant conformal factors. We also study the gravitational collapse of generalised Vaidya spacetimes that posses proper conformal symmetry to show that if the central singularity is naked then in the vicinity of the central singularity the spacetime becomes almost self similar. This study definitely sheds new light on the geometrical properties of generalised Vaidya spacetimes.

description: The horticulture sector plays a relevant role in Spanish agriculture and economy. Their participation in the final agricultural production reached 37% and it represents an important source of employment generating the half of the job in the entire Spanish agricultural sector (MARM, 2010). The purpose of this paper is the evaluation of dynamic technical efficiency for both outdoor and greenhouse Spanish farms specialized in horticulture production. A dynamic stochastic frontier model is developed to estimate the long run technical efficiency and it persistence for both samples. This analysis has been applied to 126 and 90 Spanish greenhouses and outdoor horticulture farms respectively using Farm Accounting Data Network. Those farms were observed during 6 years from 1999 to 2004. The static efficiency level of greenhouse farms is higher than outdoor farms by approximately 12%. The evolution of the static efficiency level during the studied period shows an increase by 15% in the greenhouse farms comparing to a decrease by 11% for outdoor horticulture farms. This difference can be explained by a best control of the use of different inputs in the case of greenhouse horticulture as well as the implantation of high technology that improves efficiency level over years. The empirical results also show a big difference of level between static and dynamic technical efficiency for both samples. These results are consistent with the high value of the technical inefficiency persistence parameter for both cases which suggests that the technical inefficiency is highly persistent and shows a strong competition in this sector.

description: I review the origin of the lepton asymmetry which is converted to a baryon excess at the electroweak scale. This scenario becomes more attractive if we can relate it to other physical phenomena. For this reason I elaborate on the conditions of the early universe which lead to a sizable lepton asymmetry. Then I describe methods and models which relate the low energy parameters of neutrinos to the high energy (cosmological) CP-violation and to neutrinoless double beta-decay.

description: Some publications indicate that poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) exhibit low levels of photoluminesence (fluorescence and/or phosphorescence) when irradiated with photons in the ultraviolet (UV) to visible range. PMMA (also known as acrylic) and PTFE are commonly used to contain the liquid argon (LAr) or xenon (LXe) target material in rare-event search experiments. LAr and LXe scintillate in the vacuum UV region, and the PMMA and PTFE can be directly illuminated by these photons. Photoluminescence from support materials could cause unexpected signals in these detectors. We investigate photoluminesence in the 400 nm to 550 nm region in response to excitation with UV light between 130 nm and 250 nm at levels relevant to rare-event search experiments. Measurements are done at room temperature and the signal intensity is time-integrated over several minutes. We tested PMMA and PTFE samples from the batches used in the DEAP-3600 and LUX experiments and observed no photoluminescence signal. We put limits on the efficiency of the plastics to shift UV photons to a wavelengths region of 400 nm to 550 nm at 0.05% to 0.35% relative to the wavelength shifting efficiency of tetraphenyl-butadiene.

description: This study examines the impact of a mobile phone technology enhanced services on agricultural extension services delivery system in India. An impact analysis is carried out based on randomised survey data taking into account of potential systematic selection bias through double difference techniques and reflexive comparisons. Findings from the research show that the amount and quality of the services and the speed of services delivery have been improved significantly as a result of the intervention. Evidence from the evaluation suggests that disadvantaged farmers benefit more from this intervention than those who are better off.

description: Little is known about the outcomes of integration policies on immigrants, and even less so at the subnational level. This paper scrutinizes immigrants’ responses to regional integration policies, focusing on their naturalization intentions. Multilevel analyses of Swiss cantons’ integration policy indices and a survey of immigrants indicate that inclusive integration policies are positively associated with European Union/European Free Trade Agreement (EFTA) nationals’ naturalization intentions and amplify time’s positive effect on the same outcome for immigrants from less-developed countries. The findings contribute to the territorial politics literature, with their focus on subnational policies, and to the citizenship literature, given the importance of integration policies in the naturalization process.

So far we have analyzed 11 sources with observations of NuSTAR, Suzaku, Swift, and XMM-Newton. Our results are consistent with general relativity, according to which the spacetime metric around astrophysical black holes should be well approximated by the Kerr solution. We discuss the systematic uncertainties in our model and we present a preliminary study on the impact of some of them on the measurement of the spacetime metric.

description: The Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program (CITP) is a multi-institutional program that seeks robust and reproducible pro-longevity interventions that are efficacious across genetically diverse cohorts in the Caenorhabditis genus. The project features a unique design in which multiple experimental replicates are collected by three different laboratories at discrete locations for all candidate compounds tested. To limit confounding factors that may influence experimental reproducibility, we develop standardized operating procedures (SOPs) for all experimental procedures. Here we provide the CITP SOP for thioflavin T.
