Bose-Einstein Correlations of Neutral and Charged Pions in Hadronic Z Decays
Creators: name: L3 Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Bose-Einstein correlations of both neutral and like-sign charged pion pairs are measured in a sample of 2 million hadronic Z decays collected with the L3 detector at LEP. The analysis is performed in the four-momentum difference range 300 MeV < Q < 2 GeV. The radius of the neutral pion source is found to be smaller than that of charged pions. This result is in qualitative agreement with the string fragmentation model.

description: Inflatable soft microactuators typically consist of an elastic material with an internal void that can be inflated to generate a deformation. A crucial feature of these actuators is the shape of ther inflatable void as it determines the bending motion. Due to fabrication limitations, low complex void geometries are the de facto standard, severely restricting attainable motions. This paper introduces wire electrical discharge grinding (WEDG) for shaping the inflatable void, increasing their complexity. This approach enables the creation of new deformation patterns and functionalities. The WEDG process is used to create various moulds to cast rubber microactuators. These microactuators are fabricated through a bonding-free micromoulding process, which is highly sensitive to the accuracy of the mould. The mould cavity (outside of the actuator) is defined by micromilling, whereas the mould insert (inner cavity of the actuator) is defined by WEDG. The deformation patterns are evaluated with a multi-segment linear bending model. The produced microactuators are also characterised and compared with respect to the morphology of the inner cavity. All microactuators have a cylindrical shape with a length of 8 mm and a diameter of 0.8 mm. Actuation tests at a maximum pressure of 50 kPa indicate that complex deformation patterns such as curling, differential bending or multi-points bending can be achieved.

description: We report on a mode-locked laser design using Yb-doped fiber lasers for low-noise frequency-comb generation. The frequency comb covers the spectral range from $700$ to $1400$ nm. Although this range is more practical for many measurements than that produced by the more commonly used Er-fiber lasers, it has been addressed in only a handful of reports, mainly due to the difficulty of generating a fully coherent supercontinuum at $1\;μ$m. We overcome this difficulty by a tailored design of the mode-locking dynamics that succeeds in generating energetic 33 fs-long pulses without even using higher-order dispersion compensation, while ensuring that the laser operates with net zero cavity dispersion for low-noise supercontinuum generation. After locking to a Cs atomic clock, this frequency comb is used for absolute-frequency measurements of a Nd:YAG-I$_2$ laser to verify its accuracy by comparison with results from the International Committee for Weights and Measures. After this verification, it is further used to measure the absolute frequency of a 543-nm two-mode stabilized He-Ne laser, which is routinely used for length measurements in our institute, thus verifying its practical utility in metrology applications. The entire setup is built with readily available components for easy duplication by other researchers.

description: Based on the micromagnetic simulations the magnetization switching in a triangle magnetic element by voltage-control of magnetic anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction under in-plane magnetic field is proposed. The proposed switching scheme is not the toggle switching but the deterministic switching where the magnetic state is determined by the polarity of the applied voltage pulse. The mechanism and conditions for the switching are clarified. The results provide a fast and low-power writing method for magnetoresistive random access memories.

description: We analyse W boson production at hadron colliders in association with one or two jets, both with the exact kinematics and in the high-energy limit. We argue that the configurations that are kinematically favoured tend to have the W boson forward in rapidity. Thus W boson production in association with jets lends itself naturally to extensions to the high-energy limit, which we examine both at leading order and by resumming higher-order corrections through the BFKL theory.

description: In order to determine polarized parton distributions we have made a new NLO QCD fit using all experimental data on spin asymmetries measured in the deep inelastic scattering on different nucleon targets. The functional form of such densities is based on MRST 2001 results for unpolarized ones . We get for polarization of quarks (at Q^2 = 1 GeV^2): Delta u = 0.87, Delta d = -0.38, Delta s = -0.04. The total quark polarization is rather big and we obtain: Delta Sigma = 0.44. As a result of our fit we get a_3 = g_A = 1.24 the value which is close to experimental number. With negligible Delta s and rather big Delta Sigma (comparable to a_8) the results of our new fit are quite different in character from other fits.

description: Many people are given farmland and this phenomenon will continue. People who receive the gift of farmland may want to retain ownership for a variety of reasons: the land is already paid for; it may increase in value; it may have been in the family for a long time; or it may allow participation in production agriculture. Lack of land ownership costs may reduce the risk of land ownership. The purpose of this manuscript is to determine whether a person who has been given farmland can afford to retain ownership. A twelveyear analysis was used to determine the net income and risk associated with three strategies for retaining ownership.

description: Abstract: Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) based on three-dimensional (3D) polycrystalline perovskites suffer from ion migration, which causes overshoot of luminance over time during operation and reduces its operational lifetime. Here, we demonstrate 3D/2D hybrid PeLEDs with extremely reduced luminance overshoot and 21 times longer operational lifetime than 3D PeLEDs. The luminance overshoot ratio of 3D/2D hybrid PeLED is only 7.4% which is greatly lower than that of 3D PeLED (150.4%). The 3D/2D hybrid perovskite is obtained by adding a small amount of neutral benzylamine to methylammonium lead bromide, which induces a proton transfer from methylammonium to benzylamine and enables crystallization of 2D perovskite without destroying the 3D phase. Benzylammonium in the perovskite lattice suppresses formation of deep-trap states and ion migration, thereby enhances both operating stability and luminous efficiency based on its retardation effect in reorientation.

description: The properties of the smallest subunits of cometary dust contain information on their origin and clues to the formation of planetesimals and planets. Compared to IDPs or particles collected during the Stardust mission, dust collected in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko during the Rosetta mission provides a resource of minimally altered material with known origin whose structural properties can be used to further the investigation of our early Solar System. A novel method is presented to achieve the highest spatial resolution of imaging possible with the MIDAS Atomic Force Microscope on-board Rosetta. 3D topographic images with resolutions of down to 8\,nm are analysed to determine the subunit sizes of particles on the nanometre scale. Three morphological classes can be determined, namely (i) fragile agglomerate particles of sizes larger than about 10\,$\mathrm{μm}$ comprised by micrometre-sized subunits that may be again aggregates and show a moderate packing density on the surface of the particles; (ii) a fragile agglomerate with a size about few tens of micrometres comprised by micrometre-sized subunits suggested to be again aggregates and arranged in a structure with a fractal dimension less than two; (iii) small, micrometre-sized particles comprised by subunits in the hundreds of nanometres size range that show surface features suggested to again represent subunits. Their differential size distributions follow a log-normal distribution with means about 100\,nm and standard deviations between 20 and 35\,nm. All micrometre-sized particles are hierarchical dust agglomerates of smaller subunits. The arrangement, appearance and size distribution of the smallest determined surface features are reminiscent of those found in CP IDPs and they represent the smallest directly detected subunits of comet 67P.

description: Abstract

Background, the process of anticipating, developing, and regulating human resources in an organization is known as human resource planning. Stone explains that "human resource planning is the process by which an organization attempts to ensure that it has the right numberof qualified people in the right jobs at the right time."

General objectives, “impact of human resource planning in organizational performance at Golis telecommunication company in Garowe.

Methodology, the researcher was used descriptive cross-sectional design to assess impact of human resources planning on organizational performance in case Golis Telecommunication company Nugaal region.Descriptive cross-sectional design is a type of observational studydesign used in research.

Findings, the data shows that out of the 27 total respondents, 19 (or 70.4%) were male, while 8 (or 29.6%) were female. This indicates that the majority of the respondents were male, comprising around 70% of the sample, while the remaining 30% were female. The gender distribution of the respondents appears to be skewed towards a higher proportion of males compared to females. The information provided shows that the majority of the individuals who participated in this study were married. Out of the total 27 respondents, 17 of them, which is about 63%, reported being married. The remaining 10 respondents, accounting for 37% of the sample, indicated that they were single and not married. Finally show that most of the respondents belonged to the age group of 20-30 years with 4(14.8%) also the second group under this category was those between 46- 60 years, with 12 (44.4%)

Conclusion, the respondent number was mainly male, with 19 out of the 27 total respondents (70.4%) being male and 8 (29.6%) being female. Moreover, the majority of the respondents, 17 out of 27 (63%), were married, while the remaining 10 (37%) were single and not married. The second largest group was the 20-30 years category, with 4 respondents (14.8%). This indicates that the study had a greater representation of middle-aged and older participants compared to younger ones.

description: The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 states an increase in ethanol production to 36 billion gallons per year by 2022. Biofuels mainly are produced from agricultural commodities, so that increasing demand of biofuels would have an impact on agricultural commodity prices. The linear relationships between crude oil prices and prices for agricultural commodities are well documented, but not appropriate to explain the asymmetric dependency. Vine copula modeling which is used in this study can extend to higher dimensions easily and provide a flexible measurement to capture an asymmetric dependence among commodities. The purpose of this study is to analyze the degree and the dependence structure of commodities with the policy effect of EISA 2007 along the biofuel supply chain in the United States agricultural market. We employ vine copulas in order to better capture an asymmetric dependence among commodities using six U.S. agricultural commodities’ and crude oil. The empirical results provide that vine Copula-based ARMA-EGARCH (1,1) is an appropriate model with the skewed Student t innovations to analyze returns dependency of crude oil and agricultural commodities before EISA 2007 (January 1st, 2003- January 17th, 2007) and after EISA 2007 (January 18th, 2007-December 31st, 2012). Our findings on the relationship among agricultural commodities can provide policymakers and industry participants appropriate strategies for risk management, hedging strategies, and asset pricing.
A Gaussian process latent force model for joint input-state estimation in linear structural systems

description: The problem of combined state and input estimation of linear structural systems based on measured responses and a priori knowledge of structural model is considered. A novel methodology using Gaussian process latent force models is proposed to tackle the problem in a stochastic setting. Gaussian process latent force models (GPLFMs) are hybrid models that combine differential equations representing a physical system with data-driven non-parametric Gaussian process models. In this work, the unknown input forces acting on a structure are modelled as Gaussian processes with some chosen covariance functions which are combined with the mechanistic differential equation representing the structure to construct a GPLFM. The GPLFM is then conveniently formulated as an augmented stochastic state-space model with additional states representing the latent force components, and the joint input and state inference of the resulting model is implemented using Kalman filter. The augmented state-space model of GPLFM is shown as a generalization of the class of input-augmented state-space models, is proven observable, and is robust compared to conventional augmented formulations in terms of numerical stability. The hyperparameters governing the covariance functions are estimated using maximum likelihood optimization based on the observed data, thus overcoming the need for manual tuning of the hyperparameters by trial-and-error. To assess the performance of the proposed GPLFM method, several cases of state and input estimation are demonstrated using numerical simulations on a 10-dof shear building and a 76-storey ASCE benchmark office tower. Results obtained indicate the superior performance of the proposed approach over conventional Kalman filter based approaches.

description: Abstract: Global supply networks in agriculture, manufacturing, and services are a defining feature of the modern world. The efficiency and the distribution of surpluses across different parts of these networks depend on the choices of intermediaries. This paper conducts price formation experiments with human subjects located in large complex networks to develop a better understanding of the principles governing behavior. Our first experimental finding is that prices are larger and that trade is significantly less efficient in small-world networks as compared to random networks. Our second experimental finding is that location within a network is not an important determinant of pricing. An examination of the price dynamics suggests that traders on cheapest—and hence active—paths raise prices while those off these paths lower them. We construct an agent-based model (ABM) that embodies this rule of thumb. Simulations of this ABM yield macroscopic patterns consistent with the experimental findings. Finally, we extrapolate the ABM on to significantly larger random and small-world networks and find that network topology remains a key determinant of pricing and efficiency.

description: The KOTO experiment recently reported four candidate events in the signal region of $K_L\to π^0 ν\barν$ search, where the standard model only expects $0.10\pm 0.02$ events. If confirmed, this requires physics beyond the standard model to enhance the signal. We examine various new physics interpretations of the result including these: (1) heavy new physics boosting the standard model signal, (2) reinterpretation of "$ν\barν$" as a new light long-lived particle, or (3) reinterpretation of the whole signal as the production of a new light long-lived particle at the fixed target. We study the above explanations in the context of a generalized new physics Grossman-Nir bound coming from the $K^+ \to π^+ν\barν$ decay, bounded by data from the E949 and the NA62 experiments.

description: The negative impact of climate change on agricultural production, especially the staple crops could potentially threaten food security in developing countries. While targeting rice self-sufficiency is commonly perceived as equal to attaining national food security in most Asian countries, the policy that promotes this program is susceptible to market distortions, especially when it involves policy instruments like trade restriction and price subsidy. This paper tries to explore the potential of reforming rice self-sufficiency policy in the case of Philippine, as a way to adapt to climate change by improving market resiliency that benefits both producers and consumers to mitigate the climate effect. We found that the rice program has not only diverting the resources to low-value added crops that reduces potential income of farmers under climate change effect, but it also hinders the structural transformation process by absorbing financial resources that could have been invested in more productive sectors. We proposed two alternative second best policies by providing cash transfers to the vulnerable households and combining it with rice price subsidy given the political importance of rice farmers in the country. Both alternative policies could improve not only economic growth and food security indicators, but also slightly reduce national income inequality, which overall improves the country capacity in mitigating the climate change challenges.

description: Abstract: Background: Chronic care models like the Integrated Chronic Disease Management (ICDM) model strive to improve the efficiency and quality of care for patients with chronic diseases. However, there is a dearth of studies assessing the moderating factors of fidelity during the implementation of the ICDM model. The aim of this study is to assess moderating factors of implementation fidelity of the ICDM model. Methods: This was a cross-sectional mixed method study conducted in two health districts in South Africa. The process evaluation and implementation fidelity frameworks were used to guide the assessment of moderating factors influencing implementation fidelity of the ICDM model. We interviewed 30 purposively selected healthcare workers from four facilities (15 from each of the two facilities with lower and higher levels of implementation fidelity of the ICDM model). Data on facility characteristics were collected by observation and interviews. Linear regression and descriptive statistics were used to analyse quantitative data while qualitative data were analysed thematically. Results: The median age of participants was 36.5 (IQR: 30.8–45.5) years, and they had been in their roles for a median of 4.0 (IQR: 1.0–7.3) years. The moderating factors of implementation fidelity of the ICDM model were the existence of facilitation strategies (training and clinical mentorship); intervention complexity (healthcare worker, time and space integration); and participant responsiveness (observing operational efficiencies, compliance of patients and staff attitudes). One feature of the ICDM model that seemingly compromised fidelity was the inclusion of tuberculosis patients in the same stream (waiting areas, consultation rooms) as other patients with non-communicable diseases and those with HIV/AIDS with no clear infection control guidelines. Participants also suggested that poor adherence to any one component of the ICDM model affected the implementation of the other components. Contextual factors that affected fidelity included supply chain management, infrastructure, adequate staff, and balanced patient caseloads. Conclusion: There are multiple (context, participant responsiveness, intervention complexity and facilitation strategies) interrelated moderating factors influencing implementation fidelity of the ICDM model. Augmenting facilitation strategies (training and clinical mentorship) could further improve the degree of fidelity during the implementation of the ICDM model.

description: Erratic rainfall, within and between years, leads to high uncertainty in runoff reservoir operations in many Sub-Sahara African (SSA) countries. Severe food shortages attributed to drought affect millions of vulnerable households, particularly those whose livelihoods depend on agriculture. We construct and successfully simulate a stochastic dynamic model of a small runoff reservoir fashioned after the Tono Reservoir in Northern Ghana. Our model considers a reservoir authority who at the beginning of each season observes the stock of water in the reservoir and, in the wet season, the amount of rainfall, and must decide how much water to release from the reservoir for irrigation and how much acreage to irrigate in order to maximize returns to the agriculture over the three growing seasons. We drive optimal irrigation policies with and without access to emergency groundwater pump irrigation systems and with and without access to rainfall index insurance. The optimal irrigation policies including reservoirs operation policy, deficit irrigation management, and the available water resource allocation could be used to provide decision support for water resources management. Besides, the strategies obtained could help with the risk analysis of reservoirs operation stochastically.

description: The contribution of the thermal dust component in galactic halo rotation is explored based on the microwave data of Planck satellite. The temperature asymmetry of Doppler nature revealed for several edge-on galaxies at several microwave frequencies is analyzed regarding the contribution of the thermal dust emission. We derive the dust contribution to the galactic halo rotation using the data in three bands, 353GHz, 545GHz and 857GHz for two nearby galaxies M81 and M82. The relevance of the revealed properties on the halo rotation is then discussed in the context of the modified gravity theories proposed to describe the dark matter configurations.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The reactions ee->ee+pi0+X and ee->ee+K0s+X are studied using data collected at LEP with the L3 detector at centre-of-mass energies between 189 and 202 GeV. Inclusive differential cross sections are measured as a function of the particle transverse momentum pt and the pseudo-rapidity. For pt < 1.5 GeV, the pi0 and K0s differential cross sections are described by an exponential, typical of soft hadronic processes. For pt > 1.5 GeV, the cross sections show the presence of perturbative QCD processes, described by a power-law. The data are compared to Monte Carlo predictions and to NLO QCD calculations.

description: There has been increasing concern about the environmental impact of pharmaceutical accumulation in surface and groundwater over the last two decades. Several states in the U.S. have implemented medicine take-back programs to help mitigate problems associated with unused and unwanted pharmaceuticals in households. States bordering the Great Lakes have particularly been concerned about this issue. This study assessed the value of a pharmaceutical collection program based on the willingness to pay per prescription and willingness to pay per visit of current and potential participants of the program in the Great Lakes area. We found that 60 % of the population is willing to participate in a collection program, while 40 % is willing to pay to participate in the program. The estimated unconditional mean WTP from a Double Hurdle Model is $0.53 per prescription and $1.03 per visit; and with the conditional mean willingness to pay, $1.25 per prescription and $2.33 per visit. Total annual benefits for such programs given the number of households in the area are estimated to be $20.1 million when considering WTP per prescription, and $18.9 million for a single drop-off per year when considering WTP per visit. This information will help better inform program providers, researchers, policymakers, advocates and other interested parties.

description: In this contribution small semantic segmentation CNNs are evaluated against traditional segmentation approaches and state of the art segmentation CNNs. The CNNs are optimized for the implementation on frame grabber FPGAs. A dataset of industrial burner flames and a dataset of transparent plastic granules is used to assess the segmentation performance of the models. VisualApplets by Basler AG is used to implement the models on an FPGA. The implemented models reach foreground IoU values of up to 96.7 %. The inference of a 552 x 552 pixel image takes slightly more than 1 ms. The latency between the start of an input line to the output of the line is 0.1 to 1.9 ms for streaming an 8192 pixel wide image.

description: The large mixing in the lepton sector observed in the recent neutrino-oscillation experiments strongly suggest that nature of left-handed lepton doublets is very different from that of left-handed quark doublets. This means that there is a big disparity between the matter multiplets 5^*'s and 10's in the SU(5) unified theory. We show that this big difference can be explained in a six-dimensional spacetime compactified on the T^2/Z_3 orbifold. That is, we propose to put three families of 5^*'s on three equivalent fixed points of the orbifold and the three 10's in the two-dimensional bulk. We construct an explicit model realizing this situation and show that the democratic mass structure in the lepton sector is naturally obtained and hence the model explains the observed bi-large lepton mixing and simultaneously the required small mixing U_e3. The mass matrices and mixing in the quark sector are also briefly discussed.

description: This article discusses the prevalence of polypoid rhinosinusitis, pathological manifestations of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, and their treatment methods. The word "polyp" itself (from the Greek poly - many and purulent leg) is a general term used to designate pathological formations similar to various tumors that protrude from the surface of the mucous membranes of organs such as the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory and urinary tracts, uterus. The article presents the forms of occurrence and treatment of various diseases in patients, from benign tumors to hyperplastic formations of an allergic or inflammatory nature, in which polyps are not the same in etiological, pathogenetic and morphological terms. In addition, information is provided on the indicators of diseases, treatment methods of polyps of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, based on analyzes and examples.

description: Abstract: Oscillations in oxygen levels affect malignant cell growth, survival, and metastasis, but also somatic cell behaviour. In this work, we studied the effect of the differential expression of the two primary hypoxia inducible transcription factor isoforms, HIF-1α and HIF-2α, and pulmonary hypoxia to investigate how the hypoxia response of the vascular endothelium remodels the lung pre-metastatic niche. Molecular responses to acute versus chronic tissue hypoxia have been proposed to involve dynamic HIF stabilization, but the downstream consequences and the extent to which differential lengths of exposure to hypoxia can affect HIF-isoform activation and secondary organ pre-disposition for metastasis is unknown. We used primary pulmonary endothelial cells and mouse models with pulmonary endothelium-specific deletion of HIF-1α or HIF-2α, to characterise their roles in vascular integrity, inflammation and metastatic take after acute and chronic hypoxia. We found that acute hypoxic response results in increased lung metastatic tumours, caused by HIF-1α-dependent endothelial cell death and increased microvascular permeability, in turn facilitating extravasation. This is potentiated by the recruitment and retention of specific myeloid cells that further support a pro-metastatic environment. We also found that chronic hypoxia delays tumour growth to levels similar to those seen in normoxia, and in a HIF-2α-specific fashion, correlating with increased endothelial cell viability and vascular integrity. Deletion of endothelial HIF-2α rendered the lung environment more vulnerable to tumour cell seeding and growth. These results demonstrate that the nature of the hypoxic challenge strongly influences the nature of the endothelial cell response, and affects critical parameters of the pulmonary microenvironment, significantly impacting metastatic burden. Additionally, this work establishes endothelial cells as important players in lung remodelling and metastatic progression.
