description: One major bottleneck in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is the limited number of critical care beds. Due to the dynamic development of infections and the time lag between when patients are infected and when a proportion of them enters an intensive care unit (ICU), the need for future intensive care can easily be underestimated. To infer future ICU load from reported infections, we suggest a simple statistical model that (1) accounts for time lags and (2) allows for making predictions depending on different future growth of infections. We have evaluated our model for three heavily affected regions in Europe, namely Berlin (Germany), Lombardy (Italy), and Madrid (Spain). Before extensive containment measures made an impact, we first estimate the region-specific model parameters, namely ICU rate, time lag between infection, and ICU admission as well as length of stay in ICU. Whereas for Berlin, an ICU rate of 6%, a time lag of 6 days, and a stay of 12 days in ICU provide the best fit of the data, for Lombardy and Madrid the ICU rate was higher (18% and 15%) and the time lag (0 and 3 days) and the stay in ICU (3 and 8 days) shorter. The region-specific models are then used to predict future ICU load assuming either a continued exponential phase with varying growth rates (0-15%) or linear growth. By keeping the growth rates flexible, this model allows for taking into account the potential effect of diverse containment measures. Thus, the model can help to predict a potential exceedance of ICU capacity depending on future growth. A sensitivity analysis for an extended time period shows that the proposed model is particularly useful for exponential phases of the disease.

description: To bestow particular properties on a metal surface, organic molecules can be used, amongst them N-heterocyclic molecules. In this study, N-heterocyclic molecules were deposited onto Ag(111) and Cu(111) surfaces in an ultra-high vacuum environment and analysed using complementary surface sensitive techniques and computational methods. Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) was utilized to observe the topography of the self-assembled monolayers, high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) was used to measure the vibrational frequencies of the adsorbed layers, temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) mass spectrometry was used to study the desorption trends of the overlayers; additionally, density functional theory calculations were implemented for deriving the adsorption geometry of the film. This study shows that, by varying the preparation conditions, the self-assembled monolayers of N-heterocyclic molecules can form different structures. For the initial adsorption of benzotriazole (BTAH) on Cu(111) new structures were observed dissimilar to the previously seen hexagonal phase. Additional structures were observed upon exposing an oxidised Cu(111) surface to BTAH resulting in hexagonal structures referred to as the “daisies” and “roses” phase. Through HREELS and STM analysis it was suggested that the BTAH reduces the oxidised surface and passivates the surface forming a protective film. Similar observations were made for a benzannulated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHCDBZ) on an oxidised Ag(111) surface through TPD and HREELS measurements with implication of a urea type by-product. In the case of the initial adsorption of NHCDBZ, the change in substituent geometry upon adsorption to Cu(111) and Ag(111) further supports the intrinsic role of the benzyl substituents in the structure of the self-assembled monolayer. The NHCDBZ film on Ag(111) shows promise as a corrosion inhibitor and also as a chemical etchant. The porous nature of the NHCDBZ on Cu(111) Kagome-like lattice offers possibilities in other fields such as catalyst research and nano electronic applications.

description: Based on the isospin-dependent Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck(IBUU04) transport model, we explored effects of in-medium $NN$ elastic scattering cross section and nuclear symmetry energy on the sub-threshold pion production in $^{132}Sn+^{124}Sn$ reaction. We find that with decrease of incident beam energy, effects of in-medium $NN$ elastic scattering cross section on the $π^{-}/π^{+}$ ratio are larger than that of the symmetry energy although the latter may be also larger. While keeping the effect of symmetry energy, the double ratio of $π^{-}/π^{+}$ from neutron-rich and neutron-poor reaction systems (with the same mass number of system) $^{132}Sn+^{124}Sn$ and $^{128}Pm+^{128}Pm$ almost fully cancels out the effects of in-medium $NN$ elastic scattering cross section.

description: American Foulbrood (AFB) of honey bees caused by the spore-forming bacterium Paenibacillus larvae is a notifiable epizootic in most countries. Authorities often consider a rigorous eradication policy the only sustainable control measure. However, early diagnosis of infected but not yet diseased colonies opens up the possibility of ridding these colonies of P. larvae spores by the shook swarm method, thus preventing colony destruction by AFB or official control orders. Therefore, surveillance of bee colonies for P. larvae infection followed by appropriate sanitary measures is a very important intervention to control AFB. For the detection of P. larvae spores in infected colonies, samples of brood comb honey, adult bees, or hive debris are commonly used. We here present our results from a comparative study on the suitability of these matrices in reliably and correctly detecting P. larvae spores contained in these matrices. Based on the sensitivity and limit of detection of P. larvae spores in samples from hive debris, adult bees, and brood comb honey, we conclude that the latter two are equally well-suited for AFB surveillance programs. Hive debris samples should only be used when it is not possible to collect honey or adult bee samples from brood combs.

description: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are of outstanding pharmacological interest as they are abundant in cell membranes where they perform diverse functions that are closely related to the vitality of cells. The analysis of GPCRs in natural membranes is laborious, as established methods are almost exclusively cell culture-based and only a few methods for immobilization in a natural membrane outside the cell are known. Within this study, we present a one-step, fast and robust immobilization strategy of the GPCR glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R). GLP-1R was synthesized in eukaryotic lysates harboring endogenous endoplasmic reticulum-derived microsomes enabling the embedment of GLP-1R in a natural membrane. Interestingly, we found that these microsomes spontaneously adsorbed to magnetic Neutravidin beads thus providing immobilized membrane protein preparations which required no additional manipulation of the target receptor or its supporting membrane. The accessibility of the extracellular domain of membrane-embedded and bead-immobilized GLP-1R was demonstrated by bead-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using GLP-1R-specific monoclonal antibodies. In addition, ligand binding of immobilized GLP-1R was verified in a radioligand binding assay. In summary, we present an easy and straightforward synthesis and immobilization methodology of an active GPCR which can be beneficial for studying membrane proteins in general.

description: We formulate a 4-dimensional higher gauge theoretic Chern-Simons theory. Its symmetry is encoded in a semistrict Lie 2-algebra equipped with an invariant non singular bilinear form. We analyze the gauge invariance of the theory and show that action is invariant under a higher gauge transformation up to a higher winding number. We find that the theory admits two seemingly inequivalent canonical quantizations. The first is manifestly topological, it does not require a choice of any additional structure on the spacial 3-fold. The second, more akin to that of ordinary Chern-Simons theory, involves fixing a CR structure on the latter. Correspondingly, we obtain two sets of semistrict higher WZW Ward identities and we find the explicit expressions of two higher versions of the WZW action. We speculate that the model could be used to define 2-knot invariants of 4-folds.

Normalizations of the Proposal Density in Markov Chain Monte Carlo Algorithms

description: We explore the effects of normalizing the proposal density in Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms in the context of reconstructing the conductivity term $K$ in the $2$-dimensional heat equation, given temperatures at the boundary points, $d$. We approach this nonlinear inverse problem by implementing a Metropolis-Hastings Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm. Markov Chains produce a probability distribution of possible solutions conditional on the observed data. We generate a candidate solution $K'$ and solve the forward problem, obtaining $d'$. At step $n$, with some probability $α$, we set $K_{n+1}=K'$. We identify certain issues with this construction, stemming from large and fluctuating values of our data terms. Using this framework, we develop normalization terms $z_0,z$ and parameters $λ$ that preserve the inherently sparse information at our disposal. We examine the results of this variant of the MCMC algorithm on the reconstructions of several $2$-dimensional conductivity functions.

description: We revisit the status of hybrid inflation in the light of Planck and recent BICEP2 results, taking care of possible transient violations of the slow-roll conditions as the field passes from the large field to the vacuum dominated phase. The usual regime where observable scales exit the Hubble radius in the vacuum dominated phase predicts a blue scalar spectrum, which is ruled out. But whereas assuming slow-roll one expects this regime to be generic, by solving the exact dynamics we identify the parameter space for which the small field phase is naturally avoided due to slow-roll violations at the end of the large field phase. When the number of e-folds generated at small field is negligible, the model predictions are degenerated with those of a quadratic potential. There exists also a transitory case for which the small field phase is sufficiently long to affect importantly the observable predictions. Interestingly, in this case the spectral index and the tensor to scalar ratio agree respectively with the best fit of Planck and BICEP2. This results in a Δχ^2 \simeq 5.0 in favor of hybrid inflation for Planck+BICEP2 (Δχ^2 \simeq 0.9 for Planck only). The last considered regime is when the critical point at which inflation ends is located in the large field phase. It is constrained to be lower than about ten times the reduced Planck mass. The analysis has been conducted with the use of Markov-Chain-Monte-Carlo bayesian method, in a reheating consistent way, and we present the posterior probability distributions for all the model parameters.

description: The paper is devoted to investigating a Cauchy problem for nonlinear elliptic PDEs in the abstract Hilbert space. The problem is hardly solved by computation since it is severely ill-posed in the sense of Hadamard. We shall use a modified integral equation method to regularize the nonlinear problem with globally and locally Lipschitz source terms. Convergence estimates are established under priori assumptions on exact solution. A numerical test is provided to illustrate that the proposed method is feasible and effective. These results extend some earlier works on a Cauchy problem for elliptic equations.

Vegetarianism In Late Victorian Leicester

Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2023

description: Leicestershire Historian, 58, 49-54
description: Vegetarianism might be thought of as a fairly modern movement, but it has firm roots in the nineteenth century. A national Vegetarian Society was established in Ramsgate in 1847 and moved its base to Manchester soon afterwards. It had 260 members within a year, aged between 14 and 76. Local vegetarian groups were also founded in major centres of population such as Birmingham, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Public figures who espoused vegetarianism included Isaac Pitman - better known for his shorthand system; Bramwell Booth of the Salvation Army; Mahatma Gandhi - a member of the committee of the London Vegetarian Society, and Annie Besant - a leading secularist and socialist. However, it was far from an elitist movement. Over half of the 889 members of the Vegetarian Society in 1853 were tradesmen, mechanics and labourers.
The New Normal: How Businesses and Employees are Adjusting to Post-Pandemic Work Practices

Publisher: name: Adolfo Carreño
Year: 2023

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly transformed the global workplace, accelerating the shift from traditional office-based work to flexible, remote, and hybrid models. What began as a temporary response to a crisis has evolved into a lasting reconfiguration of how work is conducted. This paper explores the key changes in work models, the evolving expectations of employees, and the strategic responses from organizations.The rise of remote and hybrid work has become a permanent feature in many industries, supported by improvements in productivity, reductions in operational costs, and increased employee satisfaction. The paper also examines the tension between companies pushing for a return to the office and those embracing flexibility, as well as the financial and reputational motivations influencing these decisions. Additionally, it discusses how employee expectations around work-life balance, mental health, and technology use have shifted, and the role of leadership in navigating these transitions.As businesses continue to adapt, the future of work will be defined by inclusivity, sustainability, and trust-based organizational cultures. This new paradigm challenges traditional work structures and requires organizations to rethink how they operate, engage with employees, and drive long-term success in an increasingly flexible and decentralized environment.

description: Real space condensation is known to occur in stochastic models of mass transport in the regime in which the globally conserved mass density is greater than a critical value. It has been shown within models with factorised stationary states that the condensation can be understood in terms of sums of independent and identically distributed random variables: these exhibit condensation when they are conditioned to a large deviation of their sum. It is well understood that the condensation, whereby one of the random variables contributes a finite fraction to the sum, occurs only if the underlying probability distribution (modulo exponential) is heavy-tailed, i.e. decaying slower than exponential. Here we study a similar phenomenon in which condensation is exhibited for non-heavy-tailed distributions, provided random variables are additionally conditioned on a large deviation of certain linear statistics. We provide a detailed theoretical analysis explaining the phenomenon, which is supported by Monte Carlo simulations (for the case where the additional constraint is the sample variance) and demonstrated in several physical systems. Our results suggest that the condensation is a generic phenomenon that pertains to both typical and rare events.

description: The combination of density functional theory and single-site dynamical mean-field theory, using both Hartree and full continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo impurity solvers, is used to study the metal-insulator phase diagram of perovskite transition-metal oxides of the form $AB$O$_3$ with a rare-earth ion $A$=Sr, La, Y and transition metal $B$=Ti, V, Cr. The correlated subspace is constructed from atomiclike $d$ orbitals defined using maximally localized Wannier functions derived from the full $p$-$d$ manifold; for comparison, results obtained using a projector method are also given. Paramagnetic DFT+DMFT computations using full charge self-consistency along with the standard "fully localized limit" (FLL) double counting are shown to incorrectly predict that LaTiO$_3$, YTiO$_3$, LaVO$_3$ and SrMnO$_3$ are metals. A more general examination of the dependence of physical properties on the mean $p$-$d$ energy splitting, the occupancy of the correlated $d$ states, the double-counting correction, and the lattice structure demonstrates the importance of charge-transfer physics even in the early transition-metal oxides and elucidates the factors underlying the failure of the standard approximations. If the double counting is chosen to produce a $p$-$d$ splitting consistent with experimental spectra, single-site dynamical mean-field theory provides a reasonable account of the materials properties. The relation of the results to those obtained from "$d$-only" models in which the correlation problem is based on the frontier orbital $p$-$d$ antibonding bands is determined. It is found that if an effective interaction $U$ is properly chosen the $d$-only model provides a good account of the physics of the $d^1$ and $d^2$ materials.

Publisher: name: Universidad de Salamanca
Year: 2024

description: This study investigates the implementation and perception of Transformation and Improvement Programs (TIP) within the business context of Chile, highlighting their importance in the areas of ‘Operations and processes’ and ‘Technology and innovation’. Through a survey conducted among executives and managers of medium and large companies, it examines how TIPs influence business performance, especially in ‘Cost reduction’ and ‘Operational efficiency’.

The results indicate a highly positive valuation of TIPs, with 94.05% of participating companies having implemented them or being in the process of doing so. A strong correlation is discovered between the application of TIPs in operational and technological areas and the positive perception of their impact, with 81.04% of respondents noting significant improvements in efficiency and costs. Additionally, 98.51% would recommend the continuation of TIPs, demonstrating their widespread acceptance and trust in their strategic effectiveness.

The study’s conclusions emphasize that TIPs are not just an operational strategy but a critical necessity for the survival and prosperity of businesses in Chile, especially in the face of current political and economic volatility. TIPs emerge as a distinctive element of competitiveness and an indicator of an organization’s ability to adapt and grow in the global market. This work contributes to the literature on innovation management and provides a practical perspective for future strategic implementations of TIPs in emerging economies.

description: We use a set of observational data for galaxy cold gas mass fraction and gas phase metallicity to constrain the content, inflow and outflow of gas in central galaxies hosted by halos with masses between $10^{11} M_{\odot}$ to $10^{12} M_{\odot}$. The gas contents in high redshift galaxies are obtained by combining the empirical star formation histories of Lu et al. (2014) and star formation models that relate star formation rate with the cold gas mass in galaxies. We find that the total baryon mass in low-mass galaxies is always much less than the universal baryon mass fraction since $z = 2$, regardless of star formation model adopted. The data for the evolution of the gas phase metallicity require net metal outflow at $z\lesssim 2$, and the metal loading factor is constrained to be about $0.01$, or about $60\%$ of the metal yield. Based on the assumption that galactic outflow is more enriched in metal than both the interstellar medium and the material ejected at earlier epochs, we are able to put stringent constraints on the upper limits for both the net accretion rate and the net mass outflow rate. The upper limits strongly suggest that the evolution of the gas phase metallicity and gas mass fraction for low-mass galaxies at $z < 2$ is not compatible with strong outflow. We speculate that the low star formation efficiency of low-mass galaxies is owing to some preventative processes that prevent gas from accreting into galaxies in the first place.

description: We address the effect of MgO impurity on the superconducting properties of MgB2. The synthesis of MgB2 is very crucial because of sensitivity of Mg to oxidation which may lead to MgO as a secondary phase. Rietveld refinement was performed to determine the quantitative volume fraction of MgO in the samples synthesized by two different techniques. Both the samples were subjected to magnetization measurements under dc and ac applied magnetic fields and the observed results were compared as a function of temperature. Paramagnetic Meissner effect has been observed in a sample of MgB2 having more amount of MgO (with Tc = 37.1K) whereas the pure sample MgB2 having minor quantity of MgO shows diamagnetic Meissner effect with Tc = 38.8K. M-H measurements at 10K reveal a slight difference in irreversibility field which is due to MgO impurity along with wide transition observed from ac magnetic susceptibility measurements. The magnetotransport measurements R(T)H using RN = 90%, 50% and 10% criterion on pure sample of MgB2 has been used to determine the upper critical field whereas the sample having large quantity of MgO does not allow these measurements due to its high resistance.

title: Amplifying the potential of marine spatial planning for conservation and sustainability
Creators: name: Reimer, Julie M.
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: The ocean is ubiquitously impacted by humans as our activities expand at an increasing rate. Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a process for analyzing and allocating space to specific human activities, while accounting for ecosystems, to inform ocean management and the use of ocean management tools. MSP has proliferated as an approach that seeks balance between social, economic, and ecological objectives to use the ocean sustainably. Despite its rapid uptake, the process continues to face critical challenges in operationalizing theoretical best practices and struggles to deliver sustainability, as socioeconomic development often takes precedence over conservation. Though MSP promises an ecosystem-based, integrated, place-based, adaptive, strategic, and participatory process, these principles have not fully come to fruition. The goal of this thesis is to explore these challenges and develop guidance to amplify the potential of MSP for biodiversity conservation and ocean sustainability, filling a void in the academic discourse that is often descriptive and disjointed from the complex reality of MSP practice. Using mixed methods, including systematic review, expert opinion survey, case study analysis, and qualitative scoring, this thesis aims to identify how management tools might deliver sustainability targets, how conservation might be embedded in MSP, and how MSP principles might be translated into practice. Results highlight the importance of multi-sector management tools for achieving ocean sustainability targets, and gaps in evidence for social and economic outcomes from common spatial management tools. This research identifies potential strategies for recognizing biodiversity as fundamental to sustainable resource use, proposing the need for conservation ready MSP. Finally, this research produces the MSP Index, a tool for gauging MSP progress based on principles. The application of this tool to case studies revealed possibly persistent challenges in implementing adaptive and participatory MSP. MSP holds the potential to support ambitious goals for a healthy ocean; however, as processes adopt best practices, they become increasingly complex, requiring significant and ongoing investments that may be underestimated by the academic discourse. For MSP to meet its full potential, science must engage deeply with practitioners to understand the realities of MSP and co-produce sustainable solutions for a sustainable ocean.
T-odd Observables in Elastic Scattering, in Deep Inelastic Processes and in Weak Decays

description: We give a unitary description of T-odd effects in various sectors of atomic, nuclear and particle physics, like elastic scattering, deep inelastic processes and weak decays. This we get thanks to a particular transformation, which leads us to defining two T-odd observables. This approach allows to revise in quite a natural way various azimuthal asymmetries and normal polarizations already predicted or even observed in deep inelastic processes and in weak decays. In the latter case, useful suggestions for phenomenological analyses and an interesting result for normal and transverse polarization are derived.

Searches for electroweak neutralino and chargino production in channels with Higgs, Z, and W bosons in pp collisions at 8 TeV
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Searches for supersymmetry (SUSY) are presented based on the electroweak pair production of neutralinos and charginos, leading to decay channels with Higgs, Z, and W bosons and undetected lightest SUSY particles (LSPs). The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of about 19.5 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV collected in 2012 with the CMS detector at the LHC. The main emphasis is neutralino pair production in which each neutralino decays either to a Higgs boson (h) and an LSP or to a Z boson and an LSP, leading to hh, hZ, and ZZ states with missing transverse energy (ET(miss)). A second aspect is chargino-neutralino pair production, leading to hW states with ET(miss). The decays of a Higgs boson to a bottom-quark pair, to a photon pair, and to final states with leptons are considered in conjunction with hadronic and leptonic decay modes of the Z and W bosons. No evidence is found for supersymmetric particles, and 95% confidence level upper limits are evaluated for the respective pair production cross sections and for neutralino and chargino mass values.

On the accuracy of the IWM-CFC approximation in differentially rotating relativistic stars

description: We determine the accuracy of the conformal flatness (IWM-CFC) approximation for the case of single, but strongly differentially rotating relativistic stars. We find that for the fastest rotating and most relativistic polytropic models, the deviation from full general relativity is below 5% for integrated quantities and below 10% for local quantities, such as the angular velocity. Furthermore, we study the deviation of the IWM-CFC approximation from full general relativity by evaluating and comparing different error indicators. We find that for the models that are not near the maximum mass, a simple error indicator constructed from local values of the metric potentials is more indicative of the accuracy of the IWM-CFC approximation than an error indicator that is based on the Cotton-York tensor. Furthermore, we construct a simple, linear empirical relation that allows for the estimation of the error made by the IWM-CFC approximation and which only involves the flattening of the star due to rotation and the minimum value of the lapse function. Thus, in any numerical simulation involving rotating relativistic stars, one can readily know the deviations from full general relativity due to the IWM-CFC approximation.

Correlation between the phase and the log-amplitude of a wave through the vertical atmospheric propagation
Creators: name: Molodij, Guillaume
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Expressions of the correlation between the log-amplitude and the phase of a wavefront propagating through the atmospheric turbulence are presented. These expressions are useful to evaluate the feasibility of proposed methods to increase the confidence level of the detection of faint transient astronomical objects. The properties of the derived angular correlation functions are discussed using usual synthetic turbulence profiles. The close formulation between the phase and the log-amplitude allows an analytic formulation in the Rytov approximation. Equations contain the product of an arbitrary number of hypergeometric functions that are evaluated using the Mellin transforms integration method.

Fixed-point quantum search with an optimal number of queries

description: Grover's quantum search and its generalization, quantum amplitude amplification, provide quadratic advantage over classical algorithms for a diverse set of tasks, but are tricky to use without knowing beforehand what fraction $λ$ of the initial state is comprised of the target states. In contrast, fixed-point search algorithms need only a reliable lower bound on this fraction, but, as a consequence, lose the very quadratic advantage that makes Grover's algorithm so appealing. Here we provide the first version of amplitude amplification that achieves fixed-point behavior without sacrificing the quantum speedup. Our result incorporates an adjustable bound on the failure probability, and, for a given number of oracle queries, guarantees that this bound is satisfied over the broadest possible range of $λ$.

The Resurgence of Business-Driven Project Leadership: The Dual Evolution of Project Management and its Implications for Modern Leaders.
Creators: name: Carreno, Adolfo M.
Publisher: name: Adolfo Carreño
Year: 2023

description: This paper explores the evolution of project management from its informal, business-driven origins to its current role as a formalized discipline crucial to modern industry. By tracing historical precedents and key developments, it highlights the shift from instinctual project management practices used by early business leaders to structured methodologies that emerged in the mid-20th century. A dual paradigm is identified: the rise of project support roles that focus on governance and efficiency, contrasted with the growing prominence of business and functional leaders reclaiming project leadership to align projects more closely with organizational strategy. This evolution underscores the increasing integration of project management skills within broader business leadership roles, such as Business Process Leaders and Product Managers, who now embody both strategic oversight and project execution. As the role of the project manager continues to adapt, this paper argues that the future of project leadership will depend on a hybrid approach—melding formal project management frameworks with the intuitive practices of the past. Through case studies and historical analysis, the paper outlines the implications of this shift for modern leaders, offering insights into the ongoing transformation of project management in today's dynamic corporate landscape.

The Algebra of Diffeomorphisms from the World Sheet

description: The quantum theory of a massless spin two particle is strongly constrained by diffeomorphism invariance, which is in turn implied by unitarity. We explicitly exhibit the space-time diffeomorphism algebra of string theory, realizing it in terms of world sheet vertex operators. Viewing diffeomorphisms as field redefinitions in the two-dimensional conformal field theory renders the calculation of their algebra straightforward. Next, we generalize the analysis to combinations of space-time anti-symmetric tensor gauge transformations and diffeomorphisms. We also point out a left-right split of the algebra combined with a twist that reproduces the C-bracket of double field theory. We further compare our derivation to an analysis in terms of marginal deformations as well as vertex operator algebras.
