description: We discuss the non-anticommutative (N=1/2) supersymmetric Wess-Zumino model in four dimensions. Firstly we introduce differential operators which implement the non-anticommutative supersymmetry algebra acting on the component fields and action. Then we perform the renormalisation of the model up to two-loop order, including the complete set of terms necessary for renormalisability. We show that (at least up to this order) the results obtained when we eliminate the auxiliary field after renormalisation are equivalent to those obtained when we eliminate the auxiliary fields before quantisation.

The relationship between birth order and teaching as a career choice
Creators: name: Palmer, Sylvia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The primary purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between birth order and occupational choice. In particular, if an occupation such as teaching is chosen on the basis of birth order and personality traits, it would be expected that first borns, because they are compliant and person oriented, would choose a teaching career. The two main hypotheses proposed were: 1) that there is no significant difference in the relationship between birth order and occupational choice, and 2) that first borns are engaged in compliant person oriented occupations as frequently as later borns. The sample consisted of 209 families. Analysis of data was accomplished by chi square to determine differences between small families and large families. When the relevant variables were appropriately considered, there was no meaningful relationship between birth order and vocational interest. The study suggests that tighter controls be used in further investigations and that ordinal position differences within the family rather than independent characteristics be used to determine vocational choice.
Quality factor due to roughness scattering of shear horizontal surface acoustic waves in nanoresonators

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this work we study the quality factor associated with dissipation due to scattering of shear horizontal surface acoustic waves by random self-affine roughness. It is shown the quality factor is strongly influenced by both the surface roughness exponent H, and the roughness amplitude w to lateral correlation length X ratio. Indeed, quality factors for roughness exponents H>0.5 are comparable to quality factors due to intrinsic dissipation mechanisms (e.g., thermoelastic losses and phonon-phonon scattering) especially for wave vectors <1/X. Our results indicate that this dissipation mechanism should be carefully considered in the design micro/nanoelectromechanical systems.

description: Gamification and Serious Games are progressively being used over a host of fields, particularly to support education. Such games provide a new way to engage students with content and can complement more traditional approaches to learning. This article proposes SherLOCKED, a new serious game created in the style of a 2D top-down puzzle adventure. The game is situated in the context of an undergraduate cyber security course, and is used to consolidate students' knowledge of foundational security concepts (e.g. the CIA triad, security threats and attacks and risk management). SherLOCKED was built based on a review of existing serious games and a study of common gamification principles. It was subsequently implemented within an undergraduate course, and evaluated with 112 students. We found the game to be an effective, attractive and fun solution for allowing further engagement with content that students were introduced to during lectures. This research lends additional evidence to the use of serious games in supporting learning about cyber security.

description: The densities of the valence and conduction band electronic states of the newly discovered layered superconductors LaOFeAs, LaO$_{0.87}$F$_{0.13}$FeAs (Tc=26 K), SmO$_{0.95}$F$_{0.05}$FeAs and SmO$_{0.85}$F$_{0.15}$FeAs (Tc=43 K) are studied using soft X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy combined with FP LAPW calculations of LaOFeAs, LaO$_{0.875}$FeAs and LaO$_{0.875}$F${0.125}$FeAs. The Fe 3d-states are localized in energy near the top of the valence band and are partially hybridized with p-type O (2p), As (4p), and La (6p) states approximately 3 eV below the Fermi energy. The Fe L3 X-ray emission spectra do not show any features that would indicate the presence of the low Hubbard 3d-band or the quasiparticle peak that were predicted by the DMFT analysis of LaOFeAs. We can conclude that the LaOFeAs-type compounds do not represent strongly correlated systems. When either oxygen vacancies or fluorine dopants are included in numerical electronic structure calculations the width of O 2p-band decreases, but the distribution of Fe 3d-states is largely unaffected.

Helical magnetorotational instability of Taylor-Couette flows in the Rayleigh limit and for quasi-Kepler rotation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The magnetorotational instability (MRI) of differential rotation under the simultaneous presence of axial and azimuthal components of the (current-free) magnetic field is considered. For rotation with uniform specific angular momentum the MHD equations for axisymmetric perturbations are solved in a local short-wave approximation. All the solutions are overstable for B_z \cdot B_ϕ\neq 0 with eigenfrequencies approaching the viscous frequency. For more flat rotation laws the results of the local approximation do not comply with the results of a global calculation of the MHD instability of Taylor-Couette flows between rotating cylinders. -- With B_phi and B_z of the same order the traveling-mode solutions are also prefered for flat rotation laws such as the quasi-Kepler rotation. For magnetic Prandtl number Pm\to 0 they scale with the Reynolds number of rotation rather than with the magnetic Reynolds number (as for standard MRI) so that they can easily be realized in MHD laboratory experiments. -- Regarding the nonaxisymmetric modes one finds a remarkable influence of the ratio B_ϕ/B_z only for the extrema. For B_ϕ>> B_z and for not too small Pm the nonaxisymmetric modes dominate the traveling axisymmetric modes. For standard MRI with B_z >> B_ϕ, however, the critical Reynolds numbers of the nonaxisymmetric modes exceed the values for the axisymmetric modes by many orders so that they are never prefered.

description: In 1970 Baxter considered the statistical three-coloring lattice model for the case of toroidal boundary conditions. He used the Bethe ansatz and found the partition function of the model in the thermodynamic limit. We consider the same model but use other boundary conditions for which one can prove that the partition function satisfies some functional equations similar to the functional equations satisfied by the partition function of the six-vertex model for a special value of the crossing parameter.

Such relation is also extended to the multidimensional case.

description: A simple model of nucleons coupled to angular momentum zero (s-pairs) occupying the valance shell of a semi-magic nuclei is considered. The model has a separable, orbit dependent pairing interaction which dominates over the kinetic term. It is shown that such an interaction leads to an exactly solvable model whose (0+) eigenstates and energies can be computed very easily with the help of the algebraic Bethe ansatz method. It is also shown that the model has a supersymmetry which connects the spectra of some semimagic nuclei. The results obtained from this model for the semimagic Ni isotopes from 58Ni to 68Ni are given. In addition, a new and easier technique for calculating the energy eigenvalues from the Bethe ansatz equations is also presented.

Value chains

description: Countries across Southern Africa are increasingly suffering from encroachment of native bush overgrowth and of invasive species. This unwanted woody biomass competes with livestock and wildlife for water, contributes to soil erosion, and threatens natural habitats and local savannah ecosystems. However, the cost to clear bush exceeds the immediate benefits of increased agricultural productivity. The SteamBioAfrica project seeks to tackle bush encroachment by transforming the bush and invasive biomass into solid a clean burning biofuel and water. This report composes deliverable D10.1 of WP10. The objective of WP10 is to identify existing value chains to enable large scale commercialisation of the proposed solid biofuel. Deliverable 10.1 analyses existing value chains of solid cooking and heating energy sources (particularly of charcoal and firewood) in Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, with particular focus on the downstream value chain (retail and distribution sector). The main source of data collection for this report is a baseline survey on the commercialisation of cooking and heating energy sources carried out in selected rural, peri-urban and urban areas in the three countries. Target groups included the retail sector: wholesalers, small-scale retailers, kiosks and open-air stalls, as well as household consumers. Other sources of data collection include expert interviews and grey literature. Findings of the analysis indicate that rural households commonly use firewood as one of the main sources of energy for heating and cooking. However, this finding does not necessarily reflect the real usage of firewood in rural areas, which can be higher than the baseline survey result, because many rural consumers often collect firewood themselves. Urban and peri-urban households use electricity and/or LPG as their main source of energy for heating and cooking. Compared to firewood, charcoal is a costly cooking and heating energy source. Urban and peri-urban households commonly use charcoal only for leisure activities (barbecue, parties). To facilitate the long-term commercialisation of the proposed solid biofuel it is important to increase the attractiveness of the product by, for example, offering free delivery services, online selling systems, diverse payment options (cash, ‘pay later’ options, phone payments) and offer a reliable supply of the product, particularly in rural areas. Moreover, it is key to offer fair and competitive prices, especially in rural areas, where potential customers generally still use firewood, which they can collect themselves for free. Any positive health aspect of the solid biofuel (e.g., generating less smoke or having higher calorific value) might be useful in the biofuel marketing.

description: The magnetopause marks the outer edge of the Earth's magnetosphere and a distinct boundary between solar wind and magnetospheric plasma populations. In this letter, we use global magnetohydrodynamic simulations to examine the response of the terrestrial magnetopause to fast-forward interplanetary shocks of various strengths and compare to theoretical predictions. The theory and simulations indicate the magnetopause response can be characterised by three distinct phases; an initial acceleration as inertial forces are overcome, a rapid compressive phase comprising the majority of the distance travelled, and large-scale damped oscillations with amplitudes of the order of an Earth radius. The two approaches agree in predicting subsolar magnetopause oscillations with frequencies 2-13 mHz but the simulations notably predict larger amplitudes and weaker damping rates. This phenomenon is of high relevance to space weather forecasting and provides a possible explanation for magnetopause oscillations observed following the large interplanetary shocks of August 1972 and March 1991.

description: Leakage current behavior of (BiFeO3)m(SrTiO3)m superlattice structures was studied and analyzed at different temperatures (303-473K) in the light of various models. While bulk limited Poole-Frenkel emission was observed to dominate the leakage current in the temperature range of 303 - 383 K, the space charge limited conduction was observed up to 473 K. With a Poole-Frenkel emission type of conduction, the activation energy range of 0.06 - 0.2 eV was calculated. The physical parameters, calculated from the analysis correlates with the intrinsic properties. The analysis of leakage current facilitates, interface engineering of heterostructures for device applications.

Edge effects in the two-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet

description: We use quantum Monte Carlo simulations to study effects of free edges in the two-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet. We find that the magnetic response of an edge is smaller than the bulk susceptibility. This counter-intuitive quantum effect can be traced to enhanced antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor spin correlations, i.e., tendency to local singlet formation, at and close to the edge. These correlations form a comb-like pattern, which can be reproduced with a simple variational valence-bond state. We also study rough edges, and find that these instead significantly enhance the susceptibility, due to local sublattice imbalance impeding singlet formation.

description: We show that the DC Josephson effect with ultracold fermionic gases in the BEC regime of composite molecules can be described by a nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE). By comparing our results with Bogoliubov-de Gennes calculations [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 040401 (2007)] we find that our superfluid NLSE, which generalizes the Gross-Pitaevskii equation taking into account the correct equation of state, is reliable in the BEC regime of the BCS-BEC crossover up to the limit of very large (positive) scattering length. We also predict that the Josephson current displays relevant beyond mean-field effects.

At strong 't Hooft coupling and at small k level, we have considered one-loop correction to the M-theory effective action. At large k level, we have considered the alpha' correction to the type IIA effective action. In both cases the correction to the ratio of shear viscosity to the entropy density is positive.

A non-monotonic constitutive model is not necessary to obtain shear banding phenomena in entangled polymer solutions

description: In 1975 Doi and Edwards predicted that entangled polymer melts and solutions can have a constitutive instability, signified by a decreasing stress for shear rates greater than the inverse of the reptation time. Experiments did not support this, and more sophisticated theories incorporated Marrucci's idea (1996) of removing constraints by advection; this produced a monotonically increasing stress and thus stable constitutive behavior. Recent experiments have suggested that entangled polymer solutions may possess a constitutive instability after all, and have led some workers to question the validity of existing constitutive models. In this Letter we use a simple modern constitutive model for entangled polymers, the non-stretching Rolie-Poly model with an added solvent viscosity, and show that (1) instability and shear banding is captured within this simple class of models; (2) shear banding phenomena is observable for weakly stable fluids in flow geometries that impose a sufficiently inhomogeneous total shear stress; (3) transient phenomena can possess inhomogeneities that resemble shear banding, even for weakly stable fluids. Many of these results are model-independent.

description: Based on the economics of scope theory, this paper analyzes the influence of diversification on the market valuation of commercial banks. Based on the OLS regression model, the accounting data of 360 commercial banks over the period of 2010-2020 is empirically tested. The results demonstrated the existence of scope economics from diversification: the market assigns diversification premium to financial conglomerates for their engagements in multiple businesses. While difficult to identify a single causal variable, the results are consistent with the literature that stress the emerging scope economics caused by technological spillovers.

description: We investigate impact of $π^0$-production data at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and future E07-011 experiment for the structure function $g_1$ of the deuteron at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) on studies of nucleonic spin structure, especially on the polarized gluon distribution function. By global analyses of polarized lepton-nucleon scattering and the $π^0$-production data, polarized parton distribution functions are determined and their uncertainties are estimated by the Hessian method. Two types of the gluon distribution function are investigated. One is a positive distribution and the other is a node-type distribution which changes sign at $x \sim 0.1$. Although the RHIC $π^0$ data seem to favor the node type for $Δg(x)$, it is difficult to determine a precise functional form from the current data. However, it is interesting to find that the gluon distribution $Δg(x)$ is positive at large $x$ ($>0.2$) due to constraints from the scaling violation in $g_1$ and RHIC $π^0$ data. The JLab-E07-011 measurements for $g_1^d$ should be also able to reduce the gluon uncertainty, and the reduction is comparable to the one by RUN-5 $π^0$-production data at RHIC. The reduction is caused by the error correlation between polarized antiquark and gluon distributions and by a next-to-leading-order (NLO) gluonic effect in the structure function $g_1^d$. We find that the JLab-E07-011 data are accurate enough to probe the NLO gluonic term in $g_1$. Both RHIC and JLab data contribute to better determination of the polarized gluon distribution in addition to improvement on polarized quark and antiquark distributions.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: The results of Coulomb gauge and Landau gauge lattice QCD simulation do not agree completely with continuum theory. There are indications that the ghost propagator in the infrared region is not purely color diagonal as in high energy region. After presenting lattice simulation of configurations produced with Kogut-Susskind fermion (MILC collaboration) and those with domain wall fermion (RBC/UKQCD collaboration), I investigate in triple gluon vertex and the ghost-gluon-ghost vertex how the square of the color antisymmetric ghost contributes. Then the effect of the vertex correction to the gluon propagator and the ghost propagator is investigated. Recent Dyson-Schwinger equation analysis suggests the ghost dressing function $G(0)=$ finite and no infrared enhancement or $α_G=0$. But the ghost propagator renormalized by the loop containing a product of color antisymmetric ghost is expected to behave as $< c\bar c>_r =-\frac{G(q^2)}{q^2}$ with $G(q^2)\propto q^{-2(1+α_G)}$ with $α_G = 0.5$, if the fixed point scenario is valid. I interpret the $α_G=0$ solution should contain a vertex correction. The infrared exponent of our lattice Landau gauge gluon propagator of the RBC/UKQCD is $κ=α_G=-0.5$ and that of MILC is about -0.7. The implication for the Kugo-Ojima color confinement criterion, QCD effective coupling and the Slavnov identity are given.

Ego development, locus of control and the primary-secondary alcoholic dichotomy
Creators: name: Wilson, Celesta Joy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A study was done to investigate the well documented heterogeneous nature of the alcoholic population. Loevinger's Ego Development Sentence Completion Scale and Rotter's Locus of Control Questionnaire were used to investigate specific characteristics of the primary and secondary alcoholic subtypes. No differences between primary and secondary alcoholics were found on either the Ego Development or Locus of Control scales. The reasons for and implications of such findings were discussed.

description: BioVRPi is a newborn project, started in January 2021, that focuses on Raspberry Pi (RPi) employment in bioinformatics, with particular regards on genomics. In the previous years, some research groups have already reported several examples of applications for RPi, including bioinformatic basic training and proteomics. Our project aims to develop and offer a low-cost, stable, and tested bioinformatic environment for students and researchers involved in genomics and transcriptomics fields.

 Raspberry Pi is a small single-board low-cost computer that was developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation since 2012. Its original purpose aimed to facilitate computer science basic teaching in developing countries, but the growing worldwide interest has permitted its constant progress and development. Thanks to its features, RPi can suit several disciplines in need for computational supports and reach almost every, if not all, research group in the world.

 We tested RPi capabilities on real case studies, relatively to Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) for complex traits in Homo sapiens data and in transcriptomic analyses (RNA-seq) on the Strongyloides stercoralis human parasite samples, using two RPi-4 devices equipped with different amount of RAM (8GB for genomics and 2 GB for transcriptome analyses, respectively), and running a 64-bit Operating System. The analyses leveraged on state-of-art bioinformatic toolset, such as Plink and Plink1.9, SAMtools, Bowtie 2, R, and different R packages, all compiled from source code. Moreover, the GWAS was run according to the golden standard protocols and results from the different platforms were compared.

 The results showed that RPi are effective devices that can efficiently handle whole GWAS and RNA-seq analyses. Benchmarking showed that the computational time taken by RPi was of the same order of magnitude when compared to the ones from a commonly used bioinformatic computer. At last, BioVRPi project shows how to implement new strategies for bioinformatic analyses, in order to provide a having-fun environment to learn and explore new alternatives in bioinformatic data analysis.
X-Ray Sources in the Star Forming Galaxies NGC 4194 and NGC 7541

description: We examine the X-ray point source population and 2-10 keV luminosity for two galaxies with high star formation rates (SFRs), NGC 4194 and NGC 7541. The X-ray point source luminosity function (XLF) for these two galaxies is consistent with the XLF found by Grimm et al. (2003) for a sample of star-forming galaxies. Combining our results with a sample of galaxies with SFRs above 1 solar mass/year, we find that the number of X-ray point sources above a luminosity of 2E38 erg/s is N = (1.8 +/- 0.4) SFR/(solar mass/year). This number is lower than previously inferred by Grimm et al. based on a sample of galaxies with lower SFRs. We find that the ratio of X-ray luminosity in the 2-10 keV band to SFR is L_X/(10E40 erg/s) = (0.37 +/- 0.08) SFR/(solar mass/year). This value may serve as a calibration in attempts to use X-ray luminosity to measure the SFR of galaxies at cosmological distances. The ratio of mass accreted onto compact objects versus mass used to form stars is near 1E-6. This ratio may be useful in constraining population synthesis models of X-ray binary formation in actively star forming systems.

Capillary adhesion between elastic solids with randomly rough surfaces

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: I study how the contact area and the work of adhesion, between two elastic solids with randomly rough surfaces, depend on the relative humidity. The surfaces are assumed to be hydrophilic, and capillary bridges form at the interface between the solids. For elastically hard solids with relative smooth surfaces, the area of real contact and therefore also the sliding friction, are maximal when there is just enough liquid to fill out the interfacial space between the solids, which typically occurs for $d_{\rm K} \approx 3 h_{\rm rms}$, where $d_{\rm K}$ is the height of the capillary bridge and $h_{\rm rms}$ the root-mean-square roughness of the (combined) surface roughness profile. For elastically soft solids, the area of real contact is maximal for very low humidity (i.e., small $d_{\rm K}$), where the capillary bridges are able to pull the solids into nearly complete contact. In both case, the work of adhesion is maximal (and equal to $2γ{\rm cos}θ$, where $γ$ is the liquid surface tension and $θ$ the liquid-solid contact angle) when $d_{\rm K} >> h_{\rm rms}$, corresponding to high relative humidity.

description: There is limited published data exploring whole genome sequencing (WGS) in metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). In this study, we used WGS on matched tumor and blood DNA to detect somatic genetic alterations from 25 patients with regional metastases of head and neck cSCC. Our computational analyses interrogate the clinical impacts of these genetic alterations on metastasis cSCC across the cohort for both the coding and non-coding genome.

 In the non-coding genome, 3’UTR regions of EVC (48%), PPP1R1A (48%) and LUM (16%) were significantly functionally altered (Q-value < 0.05). Further, significant functional alterations are observed in the tumour-suppressing lncRNA LINC01003 ( 68% of specimens, Q-value: 0.0158).

 In addition, significant recurrent copy number loss in tumor suppressor genes KANSL1 and PTPRD was observed for coding regions. SNV’s driver analysis predicted TP53, CDKN2A, ZNF750 as potential drivers of the metastasis cSCC.

description: In an active power distribution system, Volt-VAR optimization (VVO) methods are employed to achieve network-level objectives such as minimization of network power losses. The commonly used model-based centralized and distributed VVO algorithms perform poorly in the absence of a communication system and with model and measurement uncertainties. In this paper, we proposed a model-free local Volt-VAR control approach for network-level optimization that does not require communication with other decision-making agents. The proposed algorithm is based on extremum-seeking approach that uses only local measurements to minimize the network power losses. To prove that the proposed extremum-seeking controller converges to the optimum solution, we also derive mathematical conditions for which the loss minimization problem is convex with respect to the control variables. Local controllers pose stability concerns during highly variable scenarios. Thus, the proposed extremum-seeking controller is integrated with an adaptive-droop control module to provide a stable local control response. The proposed approach is validated using IEEE 4-bus and IEEE 123-bus systems and achieves the loss minimization objective while maintaining the voltage within the pre-specific limits even during highly variable DER generation scenarios.

description: Peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) are ubiquitous proteins present in organisms ranging from archaea and bacteria to plants, fungi and animals. Several of these proteins show PPIase activity that can catalyze cis-trans isomerization of the peptidyl-prolyl bond. Recent studies suggest that though conserved, these proteins are highly versatile and have been implicated in diverse functions such as in maturation of protein and their trafficking, apoptosis, receptor signaling, immune response, RNA processing, signal transduction, chaperonic activity, etc. The PPIases, comprise of different families viz., cyclophilins, FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs), parvulins and protein phosphatase 2A phosphatase activators (PTPAs). Though PPIase gene families have been characterized in different organisms, information regarding these proteins is lacking in Penicillium species, which are commercially an important fungi group. In this study, we carried out genome-wide analysis of PPIases in different Penicillium spp. and investigated their regulation by salt stress in a halotolerant strain of Penicillium oxalicum. These analyses revealed that the number of genes encoding cyclophilins, FKBPs, parvulins and PTPAs in Penicillium spp. varies between 7-11, 2-5, 1-2, and 1-2, respectively. The halotolerant P. oxalicum depicted significant enhancement in the mycelial PPIase activity in the presence of 15% NaCl, thus, highlighting the role of these enzymes in salt stress adaptation. The stress-induced increase in PPIase activity at 4 and 7 DAI in P. oxalicum was associated with higher expression of PoxCYP18. Characterization of PPIases in Penicillium spp. will provide an important database for understanding their cellular functions and might facilitate their applications in industrial processes through biotechnological interventions.
Concept and Definition of Complexity

description: The term {\em complexity} is used informally both as a quality and as a quantity. As a quality, complexity has something to do with our ability to understand a system or object -- we understand simple systems, but not complex ones. On another level, {\em complexity} is used as a quantity, when we talk about something being more complicated than another. In this chapter, we explore the formalisation of both meanings of complexity, which happened during the latter half of the twentieth century.

description: We introduce a novel class of stable nonlinear modes trapped in a lower-index film core sandwiched between two optical lattices, or in the cylindrical core of a radial lattice, imprinted in defocusing media. Such family of nonlinear modes transforms into defect lattice solitons when the core width is sufficiently small or into an array of kinks when the width is large enough. We find that higher-order modes with multiple zeros inside the guiding core can be stable in one-dimensional settings.
