QCD Color Glass Condensate Model in Warped Brane Models
Creators: name: Ziaeepour, Houri
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Hadron-hadron interaction and Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) at very high energies is dominated by events at small-$x_B$ regime. Interesting and complex physical content of this regime is described by a phenomenological model called McLerran-Venugopalan Color Glass Condensate (MVCGC) model. The advantage of this formalism is the existence of a renormalization-type equation which relates directly observable low energy (small-$x_B$) physics to high energy scales where one expects the appearance of phenomena beyond Standard model. After a brief argument about complexity of observations and their interpretation, we extend CGC to warped space-times with brane boundaries and show that in a hadron-hadron collision or DIS all the events - and not just hard processes - have an extended particle distribution in the bulk. In other word, particles living on the visible brane escape to the bulk. For an observer on the brane the phenomenon should appear as time decoherence in the outgoing particles or missing energy, depending on the time particles propagate in the bulk before coming back to the brane. Assuming that primaries of UHECRs are nucleons, the interaction of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) in the terrestrial atmosphere is the most energetic hadron-hadron interaction available for observation. Using the prediction of CGC for gluon distribution as well as classical propagation of relativistic particles in the bulk, we constrain the parameter space of warped brane models.

description: This paper investigates the existence of localised axisymmetric (radial) patterns on the surface of a ferrofluid in the presence of a uniform vertical magnetic field. We formally investigate all possible small-amplitude solutions which remain bounded close to the pattern's centre (the core region) and decay exponentially away from the pattern's centre (the far-field region). The results are presented for a finite-depth, infinite expanse of ferrofluid equipped with a linear magnetisation law. These patterns bifurcate at the Rosensweig instability, where the applied magnetic field strength reaches a critical threshold. Techniques for finding localised solutions to a non-autonomous PDE system are established; solutions are decomposed onto a basis which is independent of the radius, reducing the problem to an infinite set of nonlinear, non-autonomous ODEs. Using radial centre manifold theory, local manifolds of small-amplitude solutions are constructed in the core and far-field regions, respectively. Finally, using geometric blow-up coordinates, we match the core and far-field manifolds; any solution that lies on this intersection is a localised radial pattern. Three distinct classes of stationary radial solutions are found: spot A and spot B solutions, which are equipped with two different amplitude scaling laws and achieve their maximum amplitudes at the core, and ring solutions, which achieve their maximum amplitudes away from the core. These solutions correspond exactly to the classes of localised radial solutions found for the Swift-Hohenberg equation. Different values of the linear magnetisation and depth of the ferrofluid are investigated and parameter regions in which the various localised radial solutions emerge are identified. The approach taken in this paper outlines a route to rigorously establishing the existence of axisymmetric localised patterns in the future.

description: We propose a methodology for the identification of transcription factors involved in the deregulation of genes in tumoral cells. This strategy is based on the inference of a reference gene regulatory network that connects transcription factors to their downstream targets using gene expression data. The behavior of genes in tumor samples is then carefully compared to this network of reference to detect deregulated target genes. A linear model is finally used to measure the ability of each transcription factor to explain those deregulations. We assess the performance of our method by numerical experiments on a breast cancer data set. We show that the information about deregulation is complementary to the expression data as the combination of the two improves the supervised classification performance of samples into cancer subtypes.

description: In this paper, we investigate a deep learning approach for speech denoising through an efficient ensemble of specialist neural networks. By splitting up the speech denoising task into non-overlapping subproblems and introducing a classifier, we are able to improve denoising performance while also reducing computational complexity. More specifically, the proposed model incorporates a gating network which assigns noisy speech signals to an appropriate specialist network based on either speech degradation level or speaker gender. In our experiments, a baseline recurrent network is compared against an ensemble of similarly-designed smaller recurrent networks regulated by the auxiliary gating network. Using stochastically generated batches from a large noisy speech corpus, the proposed model learns to estimate a time-frequency masking matrix based on the magnitude spectrogram of an input mixture signal. Both baseline and specialist networks are trained to estimate the ideal ratio mask, while the gating network is trained to perform subproblem classification. Our findings demonstrate that a fine-tuned ensemble network is able to exceed the speech denoising capabilities of a generalist network, doing so with fewer model parameters.

description: We construct new Standard-like models on Type II orientifolds. In Type IIA theory on $\mathbf{T^6/(\Z_2\times \Z_2)}$ orientifold with intersecting D6-branes, we first construct a three-family trinification model where the $U(3)_C\times U(3)_L\times U(3)_R$ gauge symmetry can be broken down to the $SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_{Y_L}\times U(1)_{I_{3R}}\times U(1)_{Y_R}$ gauge symmetry by the Green-Schwarz mechanism and D6-brane splittings, and further down to the SM gauge symmetry at the TeV scale by Higgs mechanism. We also construct a Pati-Salam model where we may explain three-family SM fermion masses and mixings. Furthermore, we construct for the first time a Pati-Salam like model with $U(4)_C \times U(2)_L \times U(1)' \times U(1)''$ gauge symmetry where the $U(1)_{I_{3R}}$ comes from a linear combination of U(1) gauge symmetries. In Type IIB theory on $\mathbf{T^6/(\Z_2\times \Z_2)}$ orientifold with flux compactifications, we construct a new flux model with $U(4)_C \times U(2)_L \times U(2)_R$ gauge symmetry where the magnetized D9-branes with large negative D3-brane charges are introduced in the hidden sector. However, we can not construct the trinification model with supergravity fluxes because the three SU(3) groups already contribute very large RR charges. The phenomenological consequences of these models are briefly discussed as well.

description: We pose and solve the analogue of Slepian's time-frequency concentration problem on the surface of the unit sphere to determine an orthogonal family of strictly bandlimited functions that are optimally concentrated within a closed region of the sphere, or, alternatively, of strictly spacelimited functions that are optimally concentrated within the spherical harmonic domain. Such a basis of simultaneously spatially and spectrally concentrated functions should be a useful data analysis and representation tool in a variety of geophysical and planetary applications, as well as in medical imaging, computer science, cosmology and numerical analysis. The spherical Slepian functions can be found either by solving an algebraic eigenvalue problem in the spectral domain or by solving a Fredholm integral equation in the spatial domain. The associated eigenvalues are a measure of the spatiospectral concentration. When the concentration region is an axisymmetric polar cap the spatiospectral projection operator commutes with a Sturm-Liouville operator; this enables the eigenfunctions to be computed extremely accurately and efficiently, even when their area-bandwidth product, or Shannon number, is large. In the asymptotic limit of a small concentration region and a large spherical harmonic bandwidth the spherical concentration problem approaches its planar equivalent, which exhibits self-similarity when the Shannon number is kept invariant.

description: Self-activation coupled to a transport mechanism results in traveling waves that describe polymerization reactions, forest fires, tumor growth, and even the spread of epidemics. Diffusion is a simple and commonly used model of particle transport. Many physical and biological systems are, however, better described by persistent random walks that switch between multiple states of ballistic motion. So far, traveling fronts in persistent random walk models have only been analyzed in special, simplified cases. Here, we formulate the general model of reaction-transport processes in such systems and show how to compute the expansion velocity for arbitrary number of states. For the two-state model, we obtain a closed-form expression for the velocity and report how it is affected by different transport and replication parameters. We also show that nonzero death rates result in a discontinuous transition from quiescence to propagation. We compare our results to a recent observation of a discontinuous onset of propagation in microtubule asters and comment on the universal nature of the underlying mechanism.

description: A new scheme for a double-slit experiment in the time domain is presented. Phase-stabilized few-cycle laser pulses open one to two windows (``slits'') of attosecond duration for photoionization. Fringes in the angle-resolved energy spectrum of varying visibility depending on the degree of which-way information are observed. A situation in which one and the same electron encounters a single and a double slit at the same time is discussed. The investigation of the fringes makes possible interferometry on the attosecond time scale. The number of visible fringes, for example, indicates that the slits are extended over about 500as.

Why a Well Functioning Market Generates Asymmetry of Farm and Wholesale Prices For Hogs and Pork
Creators: name: Bullock, J. Bruce

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2001
Subjects: Livestock Production/Industries

description: Conventional wisdom suggests that weekly prices at farm, wholesale, and retail levels should exhibit symmetry. Observation of asymmetrical price movements is submitted as evidence of the existence and use of "market power" at one or more levels of the market. However, application of economic theory of the market clearing process in a well functioning, competitive livestock market shows that weekly prices will move asymmetrically. Studies that confirm asymmetric weekly price movements in farm, wholesale, and retail prices of pork demonstrate that these markets are performing as we would expect well functioning, competitive markets to operate. Claims that evidence of asymmetric weekly (or even monthly and quarterly average prices) is not evidence of market power as claimed by the authors of the studies documenting the asymmetry.
Light-dependent Impedance Spectra and Transient Photoconductivity in a Ruddlesden-Popper 2D Lead-halide Perovskite Revealed by Electrical Scanned Probe Microscopy and Accompanying Theory

description: Electric force microscopy was used to record the light-dependent impedance spectrum and the probe transient photoconductivity of a film of butylammonium lead iodide, BA$_{2}$PbI$_{4}$, a 2D Ruddlesden--Popper perovskite semiconductor. The impedance spectrum of BA$_{2}$PbI$_{4}$ showed modest changes as the illumination intensity was varied up to 1400 mW/cm$^{2}$, in contrast with the comparatively dramatic changes seen for 3D lead-halide perovskites under similar conditions. BA$_{2}$PbI$_{4}$'s light-induced conductivity had a rise time and decay time of $\sim$ 100 $μ$s, 10$^{4}$ slower than expected from direct electron-hole recombination and yet 10$^{5}$ faster than the conductivity-recovery times recently observed in 3D lead-halide perovskites and attributed to the relaxation of photogenerated vacancies. What sample properties are probed by electric force microscope measurements remains an open question. A Lagrangian-mechanics treatment of the electric force microscope experiment was recently introduced by Dwyer, Harrell, and Marohn which enabled the calculation of steady-state electric force microscope signals in terms of a complex sample impedance. Here this impedance treatment of the tip-sample interaction is extended, through the introduction of a time-dependent transfer function, to include time-resolved electrical scanned probe measurements. It is shown that the signal in a phase-kick electric force microscope experiment, and therefore also the signal in a time-resolved electrostatic force microscope experiment, can be written explicitly in terms of the sample's time-dependent resistance (i.e., conductivity).

description: One of the key tasks in physics is to perform measurements in order to determine the state of a system. Often, measurements are aimed at determining the values of physical parameters, but one can also ask simpler questions, such as "is the system in state A or state B?". In quantum mechanics, the latter type of measurements can be studied and optimized using the framework of quantum hypothesis testing. In many cases one can explicitly find the optimal measurement in the limit where one has simultaneous access to a large number $n$ of identical copies of the system, and estimate the expected error as $n$ becomes large. Interestingly, error estimates turn out to involve various quantum information theoretic quantities such as relative entropy, thereby giving these quantities operational meaning. In this paper we consider the application of quantum hypothesis testing to quantum many-body systems and quantum field theory. We review some of the necessary background material, and study in some detail the situation where the two states one wants to distinguish are parametrically close. The relevant error estimates involve quantities such as the variance of relative entropy, for which we prove a new inequality. We explore the optimal measurement strategy for spin chains and two-dimensional conformal field theory, focusing on the task of distinguishing reduced density matrices of subsystems. The optimal strategy turns out to be somewhat cumbersome to implement in practice, and we discuss a possible alternative strategy and the corresponding errors.

description: Increasingly discussions of what can be done to improve Wisconsin’s economy look to international markets as a potential source of growth for Wisconsin goods and services. For the most recent available data Wisconsin’s exports amount to almost $22 billion annually, with the majority of that originating in manufacturing, especially from the production of industrial machinery. This level of foreign exports generates about 115,000 jobs and about $10.5 billion of total income for Wisconsin, with those figures capturing only the “direct” effects of exports and not the potential multiplier effects once the products are sold. In ten years’ time from 1996-97 to 2007-08 foreign exports from Wisconsin nearly doubled.

description: Cosmic rays (CRs) with ~GeV energies can contribute significantly to the energy and pressure budget in the interstellar, circumgalactic, and intergalactic medium (ISM, CGM, IGM). Recent cosmological simulations have begun to explore these effects, but almost all studies have been restricted to simplified models with constant CR diffusivity and/or streaming speeds. Physical models of CR propagation/scattering via extrinsic turbulence and self-excited waves predict transport coefficients which are complicated functions of local plasma properties. In a companion paper, we consider a wide range of observational constraints to identify proposed physically-motivated cosmic-ray propagation scalings which satisfy both detailed Milky Way (MW) and extra-galactic $γ$-ray constraints. Here, we compare the effects of these models relative to simpler 'diffusion+streaming' models on galaxy and CGM properties at dwarf through MW mass scales. The physical models predict large local variations in CR diffusivity, with median diffusivity increasing with galacto-centric radii and decreasing with galaxy mass and redshift. These effects lead to a more rapid dropoff of CR energy density in the CGM (compared to simpler models), in turn producing weaker effects of CRs on galaxy star formation rates (SFRs), CGM absorption profiles and galactic outflows. The predictions of the more physical CR models tend to lie 'in between' models which ignore CRs entirely and models which treat CRs with constant diffusivity.

description: Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between optimism, pessimism, and the level of ambition among football players. To achieve this, the researcher employed a descriptive-analytical approach, suitable for the nature of the study, on a sample of 75 players from three football clubs in Bouira State, selected randomly. For this purpose, the Seligman Scale for Optimism and Pessimism and the Ambition Level Scale developed by Maawoud and Abdel-Aziz were applied. The results revealed: A positive and significant correlation between optimism and the level of ambition. A negative and significant correlation between pessimism and the level of ambition. A high level of ambition among football players. In light of these findings, the researchers recommended the following: Designing guidance programs to develop optimism among various categories and levels. Constructing a scale to identify different types of optimism and pessimism. Establishing guidance centers in various sports clubs and activating their role to support players throughout their training and competitive journey. Utilizing the optimism and pessimism scale for other games and sports. Employing the ambition scale for other sports.

description: Price floors in greenhouse gas emissions trading schemes can have advantages for technological innovation, price volatility, and management of cost uncertainty. Implementing the schemes, however, has pitfalls. This research report argues that requiring firms to pay an extra fee or tax is the best way to put a price floor in place. As well as providing budgetary advantages, the fee approach is more compatible with international permit trading than the alternative approaches currently dominating academic and policy debate. The fee approach can also be used for other emissions pricing schemes.

description: Fatigue is one of the key factors in the loss of work efficiency and health-related quality of life, and most fatigue assessment methods were based on self-reporting, which may suffer from many factors such as recall bias. To address this issue, we developed an automated system using wearable sensing and machine learning techniques for objective fatigue assessment. ECG/Actigraphy data were collected from subjects in free-living environments. Preprocessing and feature engineering methods were applied, before interpretable solution and deep learning solution were introduced. Specifically, for interpretable solution, we proposed a feature selection approach which can select less correlated and high informative features for better understanding system's decision-making process. For deep learning solution, we used state-of-the-art self-attention model, based on which we further proposed a consistency self-attention (CSA) mechanism for fatigue assessment. Extensive experiments were conducted, and very promising results were achieved.

description: Humans have developed adaptive behaviors to cope with threats to personal and collective safety. One such behavior is increased vigilance in situations that may connote danger. Individual differences, such as chronic dangerous world beliefs, moderate personal responses to threatening situations. The present research examines the affective and cognitive responses to two potential threats: immigrant outgroup members, and ambient darkness. Neither darkness nor immigrant outgroup threat alone affected integrative complexity (IC). The immigrant outgroup condition resulted in more negative affect, especially in combination with ambient darkness. Belief in a Dangerous World and Personal Need for Structure are shown to be moderators in IC changes when participants are under threat.

description: Abstract

This study examines the transformative effects of emerging technologies on Dubai's tourism sector, with a specific focus on artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and blockchain, alongside the essential role of government regulations in facilitating their integration. It explores how these innovations have enabled Dubai to maintain its position as a global tourism hub while enhancing operational efficiency and delivering personalized guest experiences. The government has been instrumental in fostering a favorable environment for technological adoption in the tourism sector through initiatives like the "Smart Dubai" program, which promotes sustainability, competitiveness, and inclusivity. The research highlights the economic benefits resulting from technological integration, including increased tourism revenue, improved visitor satisfaction, and the creation of technology-related employment opportunities. AI-powered applications, such as chatbots and predictive analytics, have optimized service delivery, while blockchain has ensured secure and transparent transactions. Robotics, particularly in hospitality and airport services, have significantly advanced Dubai's technological progress. Additionally, virtual and augmented reality technologies have enriched cultural and heritage experiences, making Dubai's historical sites more accessible and engaging. The discussion also addresses challenges such as the digital divide, data privacy concerns, and the need for robust regulatory frameworks, underscoring the government's ongoing role in overcoming these barriers. This study provides insights into the future of Dubai's tourism sector, emphasizing the importance of continuous innovation, policy support, and infrastructure development to strengthen the city's leadership in smart tourism.

description: Via computation of a continuum dynamical model of the diffusion and electromigration, this paper demonstrates the feasibility of guiding the formation of the stripe composition patterns in the thin surface layers of the crystal alloy films. By employing the systematic parametric computational analysis it is revealed how such properties of the pattern as the aerial number density of the stripes and the stripe in-plane orientation are influenced by the major physical factors that are not limited to the electric field strength and its direction angle in the plane, but also include a number of parameters that originate in the anisotropy of diffusion in the particular crystallographically-oriented surface layer. By following the insights from this analysis the real patterns hopefully can be created in a dedicated experiment.

description: One-loop matching corrections are calculated for Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) operators relevant to the analysis of heavy-to-light meson form factors at large recoil. The numerical impact of radiative corrections on form factor predictions is assessed. Evanescent operators in the effective theory are studied and it is shown that even in problems of the Sudakov type, these operators can be renormalized to have vanishing matrix elements.

description: The analysis presented in this research report is intended to provide insights into likely outcomes of expanding wind generation in South Australia and other regions of the National Electricity Market (NEM). Under the recently legislated expanded renewable energy target, and to improve our understanding of wind integration, this report assesses the interaction between wind generation, electricity demand and regional spot prices. Market data from current installed wind generation in South Australia over the most recent year were analysed. Our results suggest that electricity demand currently has the greatest influence on spot prices. Fluctuating South Australian wind generation levels, however, do have a significant secondary influence.

description: The potential advantage of machine learning in quantum computers is a topic of intense discussion in the literature. Theoretical, numerical and experimental explorations will most likely be required to understand its power. There has been different algorithms proposed to exploit the probabilistic nature of variational quantum circuits for generative modelling. In this paper, we employ a hybrid architecture for quantum generative adversarial networks (QGANs) and study their robustness in the presence of noise. We devise a simple way of adding different types of noise to the quantum generator circuit, and numerically simulate the noisy hybrid quantum generative adversarial networks (HQGANs) to learn continuous probability distributions, and show that the performance of HQGANs remain unaffected. We also investigate the effect of different parameters on the training time to reduce the computational scaling of the algorithm and simplify its deployment on a quantum computer. We then perform the training on Rigetti's Aspen-4-2Q-A quantum processing unit, and present the results from the training. Our results pave the way for experimental exploration of different quantum machine learning algorithms on noisy intermediate scale quantum devices.
THE IMPACT OF UZBEKISTAN'S WTO MEMBERSHIP ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Creators: name: Sadriddinov, Ulugbek
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This research will give a succinct synopsis of the present economic situation in Uzbekistan, emphasizing both its advantages and disadvantages. By doing this, the framework for comprehending the possible effects of WTO membership will be established. The research will next examine the main points of contention about Uzbekistan's economic gains from WTO membership. Among the main topics that will be examined are improved foreign direct investment, expanded market access for Uzbek exports, and the drive for internal economic reforms. The research will not, however, downplay the possible difficulties that come with being a member of the WTO. We'll take a close look at the possibility of job losses in some industries as a result of growing import competition and the requirement for major changes to domestic policy.

description: Magnetization measurements in the low field region have been carefully performed on a well-shaped cylindrical and an ellipsoidal sample of superconductor $MgCNi_3$. Data from both samples show almost the same results. The lower critical field $H_{c1}$ and the London penetration depth $λ$ are thus derived. It is found that the result of normalized superfluid density $λ^2(0)/λ^2(T)$ of $MgCNi_3$ can be well described by BCS prediction with the expectation for an isotropic s-wave superconductivity.

description: There is a need for a rigorous presentation of the determinants of saving rates in models used to evaluate climate change policy. This report provides a detailed investigation of the implications of Stern’s parameter choices for saving. This is done firstly in standard neoclassical growth theory and then in Nordhaus’s dynamic integrated model of climate and the economy (DICE), a widely used climate policy model that is based on neoclassical growth theory. In theory and practice, optimal saving rates in the presence of near-zero pure time preference are far from the near 100 per cent ones obtained from simpler models used by several critics of the Stern Review. This report shows that in DICE, for the utility function used in the Stern Review, optimal saving rates do not exceed 32 per cent. When using Stern’s revised value for the elasticity of the marginal utility of consumption, this falls to 25 per cent.
