Non-zero $θ_{13}$ from the Triangular Ansatz and Leptogenesis

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

description: Recent experiments indicate a departure from the exact Tri-Bimaximal mixing by measuring definitive non-zero value of $θ_{13}$. Within the framework of type I seesaw mechanism, we reconstruct the triangular Dirac neutrino mass matrix from the $μ-τ$ symmetric mass matrix. The deviation from $μ-τ$ symmetry is then parametrized by adding dimensionless parameters $y_i$ in the triangular mass matrix. In this parametrization of the neutrino mass matrix, the non-zero value $θ_{13}$ is controlled by $Δy = y_4 - y_6$. We also calculate the resulting leptogenesis and show that the triangular texture can generate the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe via leptogenesis scenario.

description: The tone hole geometry of a clarinet is optimized numerically. The instrument is modeled as a network of one dimensional transmission line elements. For each (non-fork) fingering, we first calculate the resonance frequencies of the input impedance peaks, and compare them with the frequencies of a mathematically even chromatic scale (equal temperament). A least square algorithm is then used to minimize the differences and to derive the geometry of the instrument. Various situations are studied, with and without dedicated register hole and/or enlargement of the bore. With a dedicated register hole, the differences can remain less than 10 musical cents throughout the whole usual range of a clarinet. The positions, diameters and lengths of the chimneys vary regularly over the whole length of the instrument, in contrast with usual clarinets. Nevertheless, we recover one usual feature of instruments, namely that gradually larger tone holes occur when the distance to the reed increases. A fully chromatic prototype instrument has been built to check these calculations, and tested experimentally with an artificial blowing machine, providing good agreement with the numerical predictions.

description: The quark-hadron phase transition at finite temperature and baryon chemical potential is investigated in an extended NJL model with scalar-vector eight-point interaction by comparing the pressure of symmetric nuclear matter with that of the quark matter. As a result, the extended NJL phase diagram is obtained in the temperature-baryon chemical potential plane and the effects of the scalar-vector coupling constant G_{sv}^q on the chiral phase transition are summarized. It is shown that a quarkyonic-like phase in which the chiral symmetry is restored but the elementary excitation modes are nucleonic appears just before deconfinement in this model.

description: Very energetic charm and bottom hadrons may be produced in the upper atmosphere when a primary cosmic ray or the leading hadron in an extensive air shower collide with a nucleon. At $E\approx 10^8$ GeV their decay length becomes of the order of 10 km, implying that they tend to interact in the air instead of decaying. Since the inelasticity in these collisions is much smaller than the one in proton and pion collisions, there could be rare events where a heavy-hadron component transports a significant amount of energy deep into the atmosphere. We have developed a module for the detailed simulation of these processes and have included it in a new version of the air shower simulator AIRES. We study the frequency, the energy distribution and the depth of charm and bottom production, as well as the depth and the energy distribution of these quarks when they decay. As an illustration, we consider the production and decay of tau leptons (from $D_s$ decays) and the lepton flux at PeV energies from a 30 EeV proton primary. The proper inclusion of charm and bottom hadrons in AIRES opens the possibility to search for air-shower observables that are sensitive to heavy quark effects.

description: We report the electronic structure of a prototypical valence fluctuation system, YbAl2, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The observed band dispersions and Fermi surfaces are well described in terms of band structure calculations based on local density approximation. Strong hybridization between the conduction and 4f bands is identified on the basis of the periodic Anderson model. The evaluated small mass enhancement factor and the high Kondo temperature qualitatively agree with those obtained from thermodynamic measurements. Such findings suggest that the strong hybridization suppresses band renormalization and is responsible for the valence fluctuations in YbAl2.

description: "In this study, the performance of a flat plate photocatalytic reactor for degrading and mineralising storm and wastewater pollutants is investigated. This research aims to lay the groundwork for the performance of the flat plate photocatalytic reactor using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation as a first step. Then an extensive study is performed to evaluate the role of mixing and turbulence promoters in the photocatalytic reactor to improve its design to meet the needs of a prototype photocatalytic reactor. The CFD simulation results are validated with experimentally measured data under various flow conditions. The experimentally measured velocity and benzoic acid concentration was found to be in good agreement with the results of the simulation. The results showed that the model can accurately predict the velocity and the outlet concentration of benzoic acid for various hydrodynamic conditions. Using various turbulence sub-models, the flow profile in the flat plate reactor was simulated for various flow conditions. No discernible variation on the flow profiles was observed regardless of the turbulence models tested. Furthermore, the performance of the reactor for the degradation of phenol as a model pollutant was predicted which was observed to decrease with increased flow rates"--Abstract.

description: There has been considerable recent interest, primarily motivated by problems in applied algebraic topology, in the homology of random simplicial complexes. We consider the scenario in which the vertices of the simplices are the points of a random point process in $\mathbb {R}^d$, and the edges and faces are determined according to some deterministic rule, typically leading to Čech and Vietoris-Rips complexes. In particular, we obtain results about homology, as measured via the growth of Betti numbers, when the vertices are the points of a general stationary point process. This significantly extends earlier results in which the points were either i.i.d. observations or the points of a Poisson process. In dealing with general point processes, in which the points exhibit dependence such as attraction or repulsion, we find phenomena quantitatively different from those observed in the i.i.d. and Poisson cases. From the point of view of topological data analysis, our results seriously impact considerations of model (non)robustness for statistical inference. Our proofs rely on analysis of subgraph and component counts of stationary point processes, which are of independent interest in stochastic geometry.

description: In massive gravity, galileon, and braneworld explanations of cosmic acceleration, force modifications are screened by nonlinear derivative self-interactions of the scalar field mediating that force. Interactions between the field of a central body ("A") and an orbiting body ("B") imply that body B does not move as a test body in the field of body A if the orbit is smaller than the Vainshtein radius of body B. We find through numerical solutions of the joint field at the position of B that the A-field Laplacian is nearly perfectly screened by the B self-field, whereas first derivative or net forces are reduced in a manner that scales with the mass ratio of the bodies as (M_B/M_A)^{3/5}. The latter causes mass-dependent reductions in the universal perihelion precession rate, with deviations for the Earth-Moon system at the ~4% level. In spite of universal coupling, which preserves the microscopic equivalence principle, the motion of macroscopic screened bodies depends on their mass providing in principle a means for testing the Vainshtein mechanism.

description: A special class of non-trivial topologies of the spherical space S^3 is investigated with respect to their cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies. The observed correlations of the anisotropies on the CMB sky possess on large separation angles surprising low amplitudes which might be naturally be explained by models of the Universe having a multiconnected spatial space. We analysed in CQG 29(2012)215005 the CMB properties of prism double-action manifolds that are generated by a binary dihedral group D^*_p and a cyclic group Z_n up to a group order of 180. Here we extend the CMB analysis to polyhedral double-action manifolds which are generated by the three binary polyhedral groups (T^*, O^*, I^*) and a cyclic group Z_n up to a group order of 1000. There are 20 such polyhedral double-action manifolds. Some of them turn out to have even lower CMB correlations on large angles than the Poincare dodecahedron.
New algorithms for binary jumbled pattern matching

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Data Structures and Algorithms (cs.DS)

description: Given a pattern $P$ and a text $T$, both strings over a binary alphabet, the binary jumbled string matching problem consists in telling whether any permutation of $P$ occurs in $T$. The indexed version of this problem, i.e., preprocessing a string to efficiently answer such permutation queries, is hard and has been studied in the last few years. Currently the best bounds for this problem are $O(n^2/\log^2 n)$ (with O(n) space and O(1) query time) and $O(r^2\log r)$ (with O(|L|) space and $O(\log|L|)$ query time), where $r$ is the length of the run-length encoding of $T$ and $|L| = O(n)$ is the size of the index. In this paper we present new results for this problem. Our first result is an alternative construction of the index by Badkobeh et al. that obtains a trade-off between the space and the time complexity. It has $O(r^2\log k + n/k)$ complexity to build the index, $O(\log k)$ query time, and uses $O(n/k + |L|)$ space, where $k$ is a parameter. The second result is an $O(n^2 \log^2 w / w)$ algorithm (with O(n) space and O(1) query time), based on word-level parallelism where $w$ is the word size in bits.

description: Extreme value theory is part and parcel of any study of order statistics in one dimension. Our aim here is to consider such large sample theory for the maximum distance to the origin, and the related maximum "interpoint distance," in multidimensions. We show that for a family of spherically symmetric distributions, these statistics have a Gumbel-type limit, generalizing several existing results. We also discuss the other two types of limit laws and suggest some open problems. This work complements our earlier study on the minimum interpoint distance.

description: We study the Casimir energy due to bulk loops of matter fields in codimension-two brane worlds and discuss how effective field theory methods allow us to use this result to renormalize the bulk and brane operators. In the calculation we explicitly sum over the Kaluza-Klein (KK) states with a new convenient method, which is based on a combined use of zeta function and dimensional regularization. Among the general class of models we consider we include a supersymmetric example, 6D gauged chiral supergravity. Although much of our discussion is more general, we treat in some detail a class of compactifications, where the extra dimensions parametrize a rugby ball shaped space with size stabilized by a bulk magnetic flux. The rugby ball geometry requires two branes, which can host the Standard Model fields and carry both tension and magnetic flux (of the bulk gauge field), the leading terms in a derivative expansion. The brane properties have an impact on the KK spectrum and therefore on the Casimir energy as well as on the renormalization of the brane operators. A very interesting feature is that when the two branes carry exactly the same amount of flux, one half of the bulk supersymmetries survives after the compactification, even if the brane tensions are large. We also discuss the implications of these calculations for the natural value of the cosmological constant when the bulk has two large extra dimensions and the bulk supersymmetry is partially preserved (or completely broken).

description: In this work we study the topologically protected states of the Sb(111) surface by using ab-initio transport theory. In the presence of a strong surface perturbation we obtain standing-wave states resulting from the superposition of spin-polarized surface states. By Fourier analysis, we identify the underlying two dimensional scattering processes and the spin texture. We find evidence of resonant transmission across surface barriers at quantum well states energies and evaluate their lifetimes. Our results are in excellent agreement with experimental findings. We also show that despite the presence of a step edge along a different high symmetry direction, not yet probed experimentally, the surface states exhibit unperturbed transmission around the Fermi energy for states with near to normal incidence.

description: We place the most robust constraint to date on the scale of the turnover in the cosmological matter power spectrum using data from the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey. We find this feature to lie at a scale of $k_0=0.0160^{+0.0041}_{-0.0035}$ [h/Mpc] (68% confidence) for an effective redshift of 0.62 and obtain from this the first-ever turnover-derived distance and cosmology constraints: a measure of the cosmic distance-redshift relation in units of the horizon scale at the redshift of radiation-matter equality (r_H) of D_V(z=0.62)/r_H=18.3 (+6.3/-3.3) and, assuming a prior on the number of extra relativistic degrees of freedom $N_{eff}=3$, constraints on the matter density parameter $Ω_Mh^2=0.136^{+0.026}_{-0.052}$ and on the redshift of matter-radiation equality $z_{eq}=3274^{+631}_{-1260}$. All results are in excellent agreement with the predictions of standard LCDM models. Our constraints on the logarithmic slope of the power spectrum on scales larger than the turnover is bounded in the lower limit with values only as low as -1 allowed, with the prediction of standard LCDM models easily accommodated by our results. Lastly, we generate forecasts for the achievable precision of future surveys at constraining $k_0$, $Ω_Mh^2$, $z_{eq}$ and $N_{eff}$. We find that BOSS should substantially improve upon the WiggleZ turnover constraint, reaching a precision on $k_0$ of $\pm$9% (68% confidence), translating to precisions on $Ω_Mh^2$ and $z_{eq}$ of $\pm$10% (assuming a prior $N_{eff}=3$) and on $N_{eff}$ of (+78/-56)% (assuming a prior $Ω_Mh^2=0.135$). This is sufficient precision to sharpen the constraints on $N_{eff}$ from WMAP, particularly in its upper limit. For Euclid, we find corresponding attainable precisions on $(k_0, Ω_Mh^2, N_eff)$ of (3,4,+17/-21)%. This represents a precision approaching our forecasts for the Planck Surveyor.

Registered nurse understanding of organisational commitment and its link to retention: A grounded theory study
Creators: name: Hogan, Pamela
Publisher: name: CQUniversity
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 420599
subject: Nursing not elsewhere classified

description: "Destabilisation of the nursing workforce due to poor retention creates inconsistencies and disruptions to the delivery of health care services. It can also have a negative impact on patient care and safety. If registered nurses remain in their jobs then hospitals and the health care system will realise significant savings in costs associated with replacing registered nurses. The impact of the nursing shortage is that health care facilities will continue to have difficulty replacing registered nurses once they have left. Focusing on nurse retention rather than on recruitment, may be a useful strategy to address the nursing shortage. Organisational commitment as a construct in workforce research has been related both negatively to turnover intentions and positively related to retention amongst employees. This construct was applied to this research which used a Grounded Theory methodology to examine how registered nurses understand organisational commitment and its link to retention. The registered nurse participant group came from acute care hospitals in Australia. The findings of this research are posited privileging the voices of the participants. Results add to the existing body of knowledge and are able to be explained and supported by existing literature within the field. The purposive sample group contributed to this study by participating in semi-structured in-depth interviews in which they described and discussed their commitment and their experiences related to workplace commitment and its link to retention. The main finding of this study was that the registered nurse participants understood organisational commitment to be at the ‘local’ level. That is, being committed to their work unit, to their nursing practice within the work unit and to the patients within the work unit. The strength of the participants’ organisational commitment, and hence their retention, was influenced positively or negatively by the management behaviours of their Nurse Managers. These findings formed the substantive theory of how registered nurses understand organisational commitment and its link to retention"--Abstract.

Unfortunately, (non)relativistic systems at finite density (spin polarization) generally have a sign problem, such that those ab initio calculations are impractical. It is well-known, however, that in the relativistic case imaginary chemical potentials solve this problem, assuming the data can be analytically continued to the real axis. Is this feasible for nonrelativistic systems? Are the interesting features of the phase diagram accessible in this manner? By introducing complex chemical potentials, for real total particle number and imaginary polarization, the sign problem is avoided in the nonrelativistic case. To give a first answer to the above questions, we perform a mean-field study of the finite-temperature phase diagram of spin-1/2 fermions with imaginary polarization.

description: "As demand for power increases in rural areas serviced by Single Wire Earth Return (SWER) networks, distribution issues are becoming increasingly evident. Voltage regulation and system capacity concerns are driving utilities toward using smarter compensation devices for network control in an attempt to provide longevity for aging SWER infrastructure. To date, despite increasing complexity in power delivery over SWER, no effective network monitoring solutions have been proposed.This paper examines the case for network monitoring and centralised management of smart compensation devices via PowerLine Communications (PLC). After establishing advantages in network monitoring, regulation and maintenance for SWER networks, narrowband and broadband PLC issues are reviewed. The channel capacity of typical SWER conductors is then evaluated and compared to data throughput requirements derived from existing infrastructure to validate the applicability of developing PLC over SWER infrastructureIn building a more efficient, smarter network, a degree of device autonomy will be eroded to facilitate a more holistically managed system. This can only be accomplished through communication between smart devices themselves and reporting to utilities, which in turn will require a communications medium. This thesis looks at the possibility of using the power distribution system as the communication medium."--Abstract.

description: We present a formulation for multigroup radiation hydrodynamics that is correct to order $O(v/c)$ using the comoving-frame approach and the flux-limited diffusion approximation. We describe a numerical algorithm for solving the system, implemented in the compressible astrophysics code, CASTRO. CASTRO uses an Eulerian grid with block-structured adaptive mesh refinement based on a nested hierarchy of logically-rectangular variable-sized grids with simultaneous refinement in both space and time. In our multigroup radiation solver, the system is split into three parts, one part that couples the radiation and fluid in a hyperbolic subsystem, another part that advects the radiation in frequency space, and a parabolic part that evolves radiation diffusion and source-sink terms. The hyperbolic subsystem and the frequency space advection are solved explicitly with high-order Godunov schemes, whereas the parabolic part is solved implicitly with a first-order backward Euler method. Our multigroup radiation solver works for both neutrino and photon radiation.

description: In this paper we show that the flat space Galilean theories with up to three scalars in the equation of motion (the quartic Galileons) are recovered in the decoupling limit of certain scalar theories non-minimally coupled to gravity, the so-called "Slotheonic" theories. These theories are also invariant under the generalized Galilean shifts in curved spacetime. While Galilean self-(derivative)couplings are not explicit in the action, they appear after integrating out gravity. We then argue that Galilean supersymmetric theories may only be found in the context of supergravity. Finally, we discuss on the possibility that Slotheonic theories are the effective four dimensional theories of consistent DGP-like models with self-accelerating cosmological solutions. Moreover, we show that the quartic and cubic Galileon in consistent DGP models cannot be decoupled.

description: TThe magnetism and electronic structure of Li-doped SnO$_{2}$ are investigated using first-principles LDA/LDA$+U$ calculations. We find that Li induces magnetism in SnO$_{2}$ when doped at the Sn site but becomes non-magnetic when doped at the O and interstitial sites. The calculated formation energies show that Li prefers the Sn site as compared with the O site, in agreement with previous experimental works. The interaction of Li with native defects (Sn V$_\mathrm{Sn}$ and O V$_\mathrm{O}$ vacancies) is also studied, and we find that Li not only behaves as a spin polarizer, but also a vacancy stabilizer, i.e. Li significantly reduces the defect formation energies of the native defects and helps the stabilization of magnetic oxygen vacancies. The electronic densities of states reveals that these systems, where the Fermi level touches the conduction (valence) band, are non-magnetic (magnetic).cancies. The electronic densities of states reveal that those systems, where the Fermi levels touch the conduction (valence) band, are non-magnetic (magnetic).

Effect of traction/brake torque on the dynamics of wagons

description: "Braking and traction torques are not explicitly considered in most of the wagon dynamics simulation packages, as their primary focus is to provide a platform for long distance route simulations with near real-time scenarios which demands fast solution algorithms. These packages consider the braking scenarios through the definition of speed profile as a priori. It is commonly acknowledged that the speed profile is affected by tribological and geometric parameters at the wheel-rail interface as well as the characteristics of brake application. Hence it’s prudent to evaluate the speed profile based on input torque due to traction/ brake forces; this research has considered such an approach and developed the program that can simulate the longitudinal behaviour of railway wagon dynamics during braking and traction. Consequently, this program enables to simulate wheelset locking and wagon yaw, roll, pitch in a natural way."--Abstract.

description: We investigate the cosmological dynamics of non-minimally coupled scalar field system described by $F(ϕ)R$ coupling with $F(ϕ)=(1-ξϕ^N)R$($N\ge2$) and the field potential, $V(ϕ)=V_0ϕ^n$. We use a generic set of dynamical variables to bring out new asymptotic regimes of the underlying dynamics. However, our dynamical variables miss the most important fixed point$-$ the de Sitter solution. We make use of the original form of system of equations to investigate the issues related to this important solution. In particular, we show that the de-Sitter solution which is a dynamical attractor of the system lies in the region of negative effective gravitational constant $G_N$ thereby leading to a ghost dominated universe in future and a transient quintessence(phantom) phase with $G_N>0 $ around the present epoch (however, as demonstrated by Starobinsky in 1981, the ghost dominated universe, if exists, can not be accessed from the Universe we live in, we shall say more about this important result in the last section). We also carry out comparison of the model with other competing models of dark energy such as galileon modified gravity and others.
