description: We review the theories of a few quantum phase transitions in two-dimensional correlated electron systems and discuss their application to the cuprate high temperature superconductors. The coupled-ladder antiferromagnet displays a transition between the Neel state and a spin gap paramagnet with a sharp S=1 exciton: we develop a careful argument which eventually establishes that this transition is described by the familiar O(3) ϕ^4 field theory in 2+1 dimensions. Crucial to this argument is the role played by the quantum Berry phases. We illustrate this role in a one-dimensional example where our results can tested against those known from bosonization. On bipartite lattices in two dimensions, we study the influence of Berry phases on the quantum transition involving the loss of Neel order, and show that they induce bond-centered charge order (e.g. spin Peierls order) in the paramagnetic phase. We extend this theory of magnetic transitions in insulators to that between an ordinary d-wave superconductor and one with co-existing spin-density-wave order. Finally, we discuss quantum transitions between superconductors involving changes in the Cooper pair wavefunction, as in a transition between d_{x^2-y^2} and d_{x^2-y^2}+id_{xy} superconductors. A mean-field theory for this transition is provided by the usual BCS theory; however, BCS theory fails near the critical point, and we present the required field-theoretic extension. Our discussion includes a perspective on the phase diagram of the cuprate superconductors, in the context of recent experiments and the transitions discussed here.

description: The presence of a light b-squark (with mass about 4 GeV) and gluino (with mass about 15 GeV) might explain the observed excess in b-quark production at the Tevatron. Though provocative, this model is not excluded by present data. The light supersymmetric particles can induce large flavor-changing effects in radiative decays of B mesons. We analyse the decays B->X_s gamma and B->X_{sg} in this scenario and derive restrictive bounds on the flavor-changing quark-squark-gluino couplings.

U(2) invariant squeezing properties of pair coherent states

description: The U(2) invariant approach is delineated for the pair coherent states to explore their squeezing properties. This approach is useful for a complete analysis of the squeezing properties of these two-mode states. We use the maximally compact subgroup U(2) of Sp(4,R) to mix the modes, thus allowing us to search over all possible quadratures for squeezing. The variance matrix for the pair coherent states turns out to be analytically diagonalisable, giving us a handle over its least eigenvalue, through which we are able to pin down the squeezing properties of these states. In order to explicitly demonstrate the role played by U(2) transformations, we connect our results to the previous analysis of squeezing for the pair coherent states.

description: By comparing the voltage-current (V-I) curves obtained before and after cutting a sample of 2H-NbSe2, we separate the bulk and edge contributions to the transport current at various dissipation levels and derive their respective V- I curves and critical currents. We find that the edge contribution is thermally activated across a current dependent surface barrier. By contrast the bulk V-I curves are linear, as expected from the free flux flow model. The relative importance of bulk and edge contributions is found to depend on dissipation level and sample dimensions. We further show that the peak effect is a sharp bulk phenomenon and that it is broadened by the edge contribution.

We give a brief introduction into dispersion theory for nucleon form factors and present results from a recent form factor analysis. Particular emphasis is given to the form factors in the timelike region. Furthermore, some recent results for the spacelike form factors at low momentum transfer from a ChPT calculation by Kubis and Meissner are discussed.

Properties of Three-Body Decay Functions Derived with Time-Like Jet Calculus beyond Leading Order

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

description: Three-body decay functions in time-like parton branching are calculated using the jet calculus to the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The phase space contributions from each of the ladder diagrams and interference diagrams are presented. We correct part of the results for the three-body decay functions calculated previously by two groups. Employing our new results, the properties of the three-body decay functions in the regions of soft partons are examined numerically. Furthermore, we examine the contribution of the three-body decay functions modified by the restriction resulting from the kinematical boundary of the phase space for two-body decay in the parton shower model. This restriction leads to some problems for the parton shower model. For this reason, we propose a new restriction introduced by the kinematical boundary of the phase space for two-body decay.

description: We study the consensus probability in Voter Model and Invasion Process starting from a seed initial configuration. In the case where the opinions have the same strength or slightly different (weak bias) this function was computed analytically by Sood, Antal and Redner and depends only on the degree of the promoter individual. We check numerically through large scale simulations the above mentioned theory and we find that in the case of strong bias a correlation between the consensus probability and other centrality measures emerge and Sood et al's theory is broken.

description: Animals on islands often exhibit dramatic differences in morphology and behaviour compared to mainland individuals, a phenomenon known as the ‘island syndrome’. These differences are thought to be adaptations to island environments, but the extent to which they have a genetic basis or instead represent plastic responses to environmental extremes is often unknown. Here, we revisit a classic case of island syndrome in deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) from British Columbia. We first show that Saturna Island mice and those from neighbouring islands are approximately 35% (approx. 5 g) heavier than mainland mice and diverged approximately 10 000 years ago. We then establish laboratory colonies and find that Saturna Island mice are heavier both because they are longer and have disproportionately more lean mass. These trait differences are maintained in second-generation captive-born mice raised in a common environment. In addition, island–mainland hybrids reveal a maternal genetic effect on body weight. Using behavioural testing in the laboratory, we also find that wild-caught island mice are less aggressive than mainland mice; however, laboratory-raised mice born to these founders do not differ in aggression. Together, our results reveal that these mice have different responses to the environmental conditions on islands—a heritable change in a morphological trait and a plastic response in a behavioural trait.

description: We present the results of a systematic study of the constraints on neutrino neutral-current non-standard interactions (NSI) that can be obtained from the analysis of the COHERENT spectral and temporal data. First, we consider the general case in which all the ten relevant neutral-current NSI parameters are considered as free. We show that they are very weakly constrained by the COHERENT data because of possible cancellations between the up and down quark contributions. However, the up-down average parameters are relatively well constrained and the strongest constraints are obtained for an appropriate linear combination of up and down NSI parameters. We also consider the case in which there are only NSI with either up or down quarks, and we show that the LMA-Dark fit of solar neutrino data is excluded at $5.6σ$ and $7.2σ$ respectively, for NSI with up and down quark. We finally present the tight constraints that can be obtained on each NSI parameter if it is the dominant one, assuming that the effects of the others are negligible.

description: In the framework of analytic approach to QCD the nonperturbative contributions in running coupling of strong interaction up to 4-loop order are obtained in an explicit form. For all $Q>Λ$ they are shown to be represented in the form of an expansion in inverse powers of Euclidean momentum squared. The expansion coefficients are calculated for different numbers of active quark flavors $n_f$ and for different number of loops taken into account. On basis of the stated expansion the effective method for precise calculation of the analytic running coupling can be developed.

description: Oklahoma households serviced by investor owned electric utilities that have smart meters may select to be charged based on either a traditional meter rate schedule, a smart meter schedule, or they may install a household grid-tied wind turbine or solar panel system and be subject to a different rate schedule. The objective of the research is to determine the annual cost of electricity for a case study household for six alternative situations: grid purchased with traditional meter rates, grid with smart meter rates, and four household Renewable Distributed Generation (RDG) systems tied to the grid with unique rates under consideration for implementation. Twenty years of hourly information regarding wind and solar quantity were obtained from the Oklahoma Mesonet weather system. Hourly use data for a representative household were obtained from the Department of Energy. These data, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission rate schedules, and purchase prices and power output response functions, for each of the four household systems were used to address the objective. The annual cost of electricity for the modeled household is estimated to be $710 for the smart meter system and $812 for the traditional meter system. The estimated annual cost of $2,343 for the least costly household grid tied production system, a 4 kW solar system, is 3.3 times greater than the annual cost of purchasing from the grid via a smart meter system. If external consequences of electricity generation and distribution are ignored, given current and proposed rate structures and prices, household generation systems are not economically competitive in the region.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the movie, Marvel’s Black Panther and the predictive analytics of ethnic consumer behavior of moviegoers We examined box office receipts and trends on movies and box office successful films. The problem identified as a basis for this study is to examining marketing strategy and tactics of movie marketing in terms of traditional and non-traditional media strategy to moviegoers. This study is a continuation of the researchers' prior research on movie marketing and strategy and regression model predicting box office revenue. The overall objective of this research is threefold. First objective we examine what are the key ad variables that influence movie goers to see the movie. Second, the objective examined, how many key ad factors are a major influence on movie goers to see the movie. Last, the objective examined was how many key ad variables were an influence both online and offline ticket sales to see the movie. The study sample was taken across the country. We used a three-step process in the research design. This study had a protocol of studies. First, researchers conducted a pilot study with a (N = 147) moviegoers. Second, the formal was conducted on a larger size sample (N = 372) of moviegoers. The researchers used three statistical test designs: (a) descriptive statistics; (b) principle component analysis (PCA); and a (c) structural equation modeling (SEM). The results revealed two key findings. First, there were three factors that influence movie goers of the Black Panther movie: (1) Combination PR Activities; (2) Traditional Movie Marketing Ads and (3) Current and Future Movie Preferences. Second, we found that using the movie ad variables as endogenous variables, they were strong influences on moviegoer frequency. The use of social media to get information about movies was prevalent in the data.

description: We use newly constructed data to model and measure agricultural productivity growth and the returns to public agricultural research conducted in Uruguay over the period 1961–2010. We pay attention specifically to the role of levy-based funding under INIA, which was established in 1990. Our results indicate that the creation of INIA was associated with a revitalization of funding for agricultural R&D in Uruguay, which spurred sustained growth in agricultural productivity during the past two decades when productivity growth was stagnating in many other countries. The econometric results were somewhat sensitive to specification choices. The preferred model includes two other variables with common trends, a time-trend variable and a proxy for private research impacts, as well as a variable representing the stock of public agricultural knowledge that entailed a lag distribution with a peak impact at year 24 of the 25-year lag. It implies a marginal benefit-cost ratio of 48.2, using a real discount rate of 5 per cent per annum and a modified internal rate of return of 24 per cent per annum. The benefit-cost ratio varied significantly across models with different lag structures or that omitted the trend or the private research variable, but across the same models, the modified internal rate of return was very stable, ranging from 23 per cent per annum to 27 per cent per annum. These results suggest that the revitalized investment in research spending under INIA has been very profitable for Uruguay and that a greater rate of investment would have been justified.

description: In this paper, we consider the combination between two promising techniques: space-shift keying (SSK) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) for future radio access networks. We analyze the performance of SSK-NOMA networks and provide a comprehensive analytical framework of SSK-NOMA regarding bit error probability (BEP), ergodic capacity and outage probability. It is worth pointing out all analysis also stand for conventional SIMO-NOMA networks. We derive closed-form exact average BEP (ABEP) expressions when the number of users in a resource block is equal to i.e., $L=3$. Nevertheless, we analyze the ABEP of users when the number of users is more than i.e., $L\geq3$, and derive bit-error-rate (BER) union bound since the error propagation due to iterative successive interference canceler (SIC) makes the exact analysis intractable. Then, we analyze the achievable rate of users and derive exact ergodic capacity of the users so the ergodic sum rate of the system in closed-forms. Moreover, we provide the average outage probability of the users exactly in the closed-form. All derived expressions are validated via Monte Carlo simulations and it is proved that SSK-NOMA outperforms conventional NOMA networks in terms of all performance metrics (i.e., BER, sum rate, outage). Finally, the effect of the power allocation (PA) on the performance of SSK-NOMA networks is investigated and the optimum PA is discussed under BER and outage constraints.

description: To explore the luminescence properties of silver complexes in the solid state, two Ag(I) complexes, [Ag(4-PBO)2(NO3)] {di[2-(4'-pyridyl)-benzoxazole]silver(I) nitrate} (1) and [Ag2(SPPh3)4](ClO4)2 {[tetra(triphenylphosphine sulfide)disilver(I)] diperchlorate} (2) (4-PBO = 2-(4'-pyridyl)-benzoxazole, SPPh3 = triphenylphosphine sulfide), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that 1 is three-coordinate by two nitrogen atoms from two 4-PBO ligands and an oxygen atom from the coordinated nitrate anion forming a triangular plane configuration. In 2, the SPPh3 ligands adopt a monodentate coordinated and monoatomic bridging mode to connect two Ag(I) ions, resulting in a three-coordinate symmetrical binuclear structure. In the solid state, the luminescence properties of the ligands 4-PBO, SPPh3 and their complexes were investigated. The results demonstrated that 1 results in the fluorescence quenching of aggregates due to the strong π-π stacking effect. The fluorescence enhancement of 2 may be attributed to the “aggregation-induced emission” (AIE) effect of restricted intramolecular rotations of the peripheral phenyl rings against the central core. In addition, cyclic voltammograms of 1 and 2 indicated an irreversible Ag+/Ag couple.

description: Case study research was undertaken as an initial step towards studying the critical factors that influenced the adoption of agritourism as an additional enterprise by small farmers in North Carolina. The unit of analysis in this study was the principal operator of the farm that provided agritourism services. Human factors such as age, gender, household income before taxes, and ethnicity and educational background of principal operator were perceived to be the most common elements. Production variables such as total acreage deemed unsuitable for crop production, the farm organization, economic situation of the farm and the geographic location of the farm and access to internet were also deemed to be common features. The need to generate additional income was often cited among the goals of operators in adding agritourism to their farm operations. Most operators charged activity-based fees and cited weather and liability issues as the principal challenges to their agritourism enterprises. They had a more positive outlook for their individual agritourism business than they had for the industry as a whole in the state.

description: The research study examines the role of business environment on the establishment of small and medium scale enterprises in Taraba State. To achieve that the following research objectives were formulated; (i) to determine the impact of external business environmental on the developing SMEs in Taraba state, (ii) to evaluate the existing SMEs in Taraba State, (iii) to analyze problems of developing of SMEs in Taraba state, (iv) Examine the link between business environment and SMEs In Taraba State. The research method adopted was quantitative technique were Data collected were and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) Version 26. A total of three hundred and twenty-four (324) copies of the questionnaire were administered, out of which three hundred and sixteen (316) copies representing (97.5%) of the questionnaire were properly completed and retrieved while eight (8) copies representing (2.5%) were not retrieved. The data were presented in tables as frequency distribution in the data analysis; the techniques of percentage frequencies, mean and standard deviation were used. The hypotheses were tested with chi-square and multiple regression method at 5% significance level. The result shows that gender, age, education level, risk-taking and employee's skills have no significant relationship with business growth while years of experience with (P-value =0.032) have a significant relationship with business growth. The test also revealed that there was a statistically significant association existing between size of sales (P-value=0.001< 0.05), gained profit (P-value=0.0026 < 0.05), credit control (P-value=0.015< 0.05), location (P-value=0.009< 0.05) and access to fund (P-value=0.014< 0.05) with business establishment in the business environment. Regression analysis was used to check relative contribution of business environment (Internal Factors) on Business Growth Using Regression Analysis. The result indicated that size of sales, credit control, financial management practices have significant effect on the business growth of SMEs with P-value< 0.05. Furthermore, from the regression output for effect of external factors on business growth, it also revealed that location, access to fund has significant effect on the business growth of SMEs with P-value< 0.05. regression analysis also indicated that government regulation, government agency, sundry bill, access to fund and bureaucratic process have significant effect on business growth in Taraba State. Consequently, both internal and external business environmental factors have significant effect on the establishment of SMEs in Taraba state.

description: This paper presents the DLV system, which is widely considered the state-of-the-art implementation of disjunctive logic programming, and addresses several aspects. As for problem solving, we provide a formal definition of its kernel language, function-free disjunctive logic programs (also known as disjunctive datalog), extended by weak constraints, which are a powerful tool to express optimization problems. We then illustrate the usage of DLV as a tool for knowledge representation and reasoning, describing a new declarative programming methodology which allows one to encode complex problems (up to $Δ^P_3$-complete problems) in a declarative fashion. On the foundational side, we provide a detailed analysis of the computational complexity of the language of DLV, and by deriving new complexity results we chart a complete picture of the complexity of this language and important fragments thereof. Furthermore, we illustrate the general architecture of the DLV system which has been influenced by these results. As for applications, we overview application front-ends which have been developed on top of DLV to solve specific knowledge representation tasks, and we briefly describe the main international projects investigating the potential of the system for industrial exploitation. Finally, we report about thorough experimentation and benchmarking, which has been carried out to assess the efficiency of the system. The experimental results confirm the solidity of DLV and highlight its potential for emerging application areas like knowledge management and information integration.

The Hofstadter Butterfly in a Dynamic Cavity-Induced Synthetic Magnetic Field

description: Energy bands of electrons in a square lattice potential threaded by a uniform magnetic field exhibit a fractal structure known as the Hofstadter butterfly. Here we study a Fermi gas in a 2D optical lattice within a linear cavity with a tilt along the cavity axis. The hopping along the cavity axis is only induced by resonant Raman scattering of transverse pump light into a standing wave cavity mode. Choosing a suitable pump geometry allows to realize the Hofstadter-Harper model with a cavity-induced dynamical synthetic magnetic field, which appears at the onset of the superradiant phase transition. The dynamical nature of this cavity-induced synthetic magnetic field arises from the delicate interplay between collective superradiant scattering and the underlying fractal band structure. Using a sixth-order expansion of the free energy as function of the order parameter and by numerical simulations we show that at low magnetic fluxes the superradiant ordering phase transition is first order, while it becomes second order for higher flux. The dynamic nature of the magnetic field induces a non-trivial deformation of the Hofstadter butterfly in the superradiant phase. At strong pump far above the self-ordering threshold we recover the Hofstadter butterfly one would obtain in a static magnetic field.

Incoherent Production of Charmonia off Nuclei As a Good Tool for Study of Color Transparency
Creators: name: Nemchik, J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Within a light-cone QCD formalism which incorporates color transparency (CT), coherence length (CL) effects and gluon shadowing (GS) we study electroproduction of charmonia off nuclei. In contrast to production of light vector mesons (rho^0, phi^0) when at small and medium energies CT and the onset of CL effects are not easily separated, in production of charmonia CT effects dominate. We found rather large CT effects in the range of Q^2 < 20 GeV^2. They are stronger at low than at high energies and can be easily identified by the planned future experiments. Our parameter-free calculations explain well the NMC data for variation with photon energy of the Sn/C ratio of nuclear transparencies. We provide predictions for incoherent and coherent production of charmonia for future measurements.

description: This study explores the impact of entrepreneurship education in the university on student’s entrepreneurial behaviour, in terms of their entrepreneurial attitudes and start-up intention. The paper aims to investigate the perceived influence that various entrepreneurship education courses have had on third-year undergraduate students from business and non-business study programs in University Malaysia Sabah. The questionnaires were distributed via Google Forms, which gathers students’ perspectives on their entrepreneurial attitudes (achievement, innovation, personal control and self-esteem), and start-up intention. The results of chi-squared test revealed that innovation, personal control and self-esteem are the most influential impacts of entrepreneurship education among undergraduate students. In addition, the results of One-Way ANOVA showed significant differences among types of student's degree programs in terms of their achievement, innovation, external support and start-up intention. The study also provides qualitative insights from students' perspectives about the challenges that they think could hinder students to start a business. This study hopes to contribute to the university and other institutions of higher learning in Malaysia in preparing the appropriate entrepreneurial education approach for the students towards materialising the government agenda to become ‘Entrepreneurial Nation' by 2030.

description: We report on a traceable calibration system for a 3500mm-long console that carries a measurement system for inspecting the diameter of a circular reactor chassis. The system uses two single-pass laser interferometers with homodyne fringe detection for measurement in two degrees of freedom. The hybrid FPGA-microcontroller control module carries out the fringe detection together with the application-specific scale linearization approach and the compensation of environmental influences such as thermal elongation and the refractive index of air fluctuations. We demonstrated the system feasibility with an accuracy of a few microns and translation velocity higher than 0:1 metre per second.

Information-theoretical meaning of quantum dynamical entropy

description: The theory of noncommutative dynamical entropy and quantum symbolic dynamics for quantum dynamical systems is analised from the point of view of quantum information theory. Using a general quantum dynamical system as a communication channel one can define different classical capacities depending on the character of resources applied for encoding and decoding procedures and on the type of information sources. It is shown that for Bernoulli sources the entanglement-assisted classical capacity, which is the largest one, is bounded from above by the quantum dynamical entropy defined in terms of operational partitions of unity. Stronger results are proved for the particular class of quantum dynamical systems -- quantum Bernoulli shifts. Different classical capacities are exactly computed and the entanglement-assisted one is equal to the dynamical entropy in this case.

description: We update our previous calculation of $J/ψ$ photo-production near threshold \cite{Hatta:2018ina} by incorporating the recent developments in theory and the new experimental data from the GlueX collaboration at Jefferson Lab \cite{Ali:2019lzf}. We then propose to study the near threshold production of $Υ$ and $J/ψ$ in ultraperipheral $pA$ collisions at RHIC. These processes are sensitive to the gluon condensate in the proton which is related to the QCD trace anomaly. Our result emphasizes the role of gluons as the origin of the proton mass.

description: We study a rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensate in which an optically induced Josephson coupling allows for population transfer between the two species. In a regime where separation of species is favored, the ground state of the rotating system displays domain walls with velocity fields normal to them. Such a configuration looks like a vortex split into two halves, with atoms circulating around the vortex and changing their internal state in a continuous way.
