Yangian superalgebras in conformal field theory
Creators: name: Creutzig, Thomas
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Quantum Yangian symmetry in several sigma models with supergroup or supercoset as target is established. Starting with a two-dimensional conformal field theory that has current symmetry of a Lie superalgebra with vanishing Killing form we construct non-local charges and compute their properties. Yangian axioms are satisfied, except that the Serre relations only hold for a subsector of the space of fields. Yangian symmetry implies that correlation functions of fields in this sector satisfy Ward identities. We then show that this symmetry is preserved by certain perturbations of the conformal field theory. The main example are sigma models of the supergroups PSL(N|N), OSP(2N+2|2N) and D(2,1;\alpha) away from the WZW point. Further there are the OSP(2N+2|2N) Gross-Neveu models and current-current perturbations of ghost systems, both for the disc as world-sheet. The latter we show to be equivalent to CP^{N-1|N} sigma models, while the former are conjecturally dual to supersphere sigma models.

EoL PU-based mattress

description: the white paper to policy makers, meant as communication output targeting policy makers and industrial stakeholders, focused on explaining the results of the sustainability assessment of the PUReSmart technologies, in light of the current and upcoming policies, with the ultimate goal of supporting circular economy. The document is built upon the sustainability analysis carried out in WP5 but has focused on communicating the results of a sustainability assessment in a non-technical way, highlighting the key characteristics of the analysed system, the complexities around a life cycle-based sustainability assessment and the trade-off that might arise when evaluating multiple dimensions of sustainability, both within and among different sustainability domains. Regarding the analysis, the potential environmental impacts of the PUReSmart technological system were quantified with the PEF methodology, complemented by the evaluation of relevant social topics and the identification of social risks. Results pointed out the potential of PUReSmart solution in reducing environmental burdens when managing EoL PU-based mattresses and when producing secondary polyols&isocyanates. There is also potential for positive social impacts in particular on workers and local community, that can be achieved through the implementation of adequate management practices by the organisations that will operate the technology.

description: Two opposite charged new heavy gauge boson pair production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is presented in this paper. These bosons are known as $W^{'}$ boson due to the reason that it is the heavy version of Standard Model's weak force carrier, the $W$ boson. The production cross section and decay width in proton-proton ($pp$) collision at \sqrts~= 8 TeV are calculated for different masses and coupling strengths of $W^{'}$. Efficiencies for different signal regions and branching ratios for different decay channels are computed. In this study, the pair production ($W^{'^{+}}W^{'^{-}}$) is considered in emerging new physics as a result of $pp$ collision at \sqrts~= 8 TeV at the LHC with final state containing two tau ($τ$) leptons and two neutrinos (each $W^{'}$ decay to $τ$ and its neutrino). The event selection efficiency similar to the CMS experiment is used for the mass of $W^{'}$ to set lower limits for different coupling strengths of $W^{'}$ and results are presented in this work. For heavy gauge bosons, when coupling strength is similar to that of Standard Model's $W$ boson, the mass of $W^{'}$ below 305 GeV are excluded at confidence level of $95\%$.

description: In this research, a mid-infrared wide-angle ultra-broadband perfect absorber which composed of pyramid grating structure has been comprehensively studied. The structure was operated in the reststrahlem band of SiC and with the presence of surface phonon resonance(SPhR), the perfect absorption was observed in the region between 10.25 and 10.85 $μm$. We explain the mechanism of this structure with the help of PLC circuit model due to the independence of magnetic polaritons. More over, by studying the resonance behavior of different wavelength, we bridged the continuous perfect absorption band and the discret peak in 11.05 $μm$(emerge two close absorption band together) by modification of the geometry. The absorption band has been sufficiently broadened. More over, both 1-D and 2-D periodic structure has been considered and the response of different incident angles and polarized angles have been studied and a omnidirectional and polarization insensitive structure can be realized which may be a candidate of several sensor applications in meteorology. The simulation was conducted by the Rigorous Coupled Wave Method(RCWA).

description: We study the spin-crossover molecule Fe(phen)$_2$(NCS)$_2$ using density functional theory (DFT) plus dynamical mean-field theory, which allows access to observables not attainable with traditional quantum chemical or electronic structure methods. The temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility, electron addition and removal spectra, and total energies are calculated and compared to experiment. We demonstrate that the proper quantitative energy difference between the high-spin and low-spin state, as well as reasonably accurate values of the magnetic susceptibility can be obtained when using realistic interaction parameters. Comparisons to DFT and DFT+U calculations demonstrate that dynamical correlations are critical to the energetics of the low-spin state. Additionally, we elucidate the differences between DFT+U and spin density functional theory (SDFT) plus U methodologies, demonstrating that DFT+U can recover SDFT+U results for an appropriately chosen on-site exchange interaction.

description: In this paper, we use trace methods to study the algebraic $K$-theory of rings of the form $R[x_1,\ldots, x_d]/(x_1,\ldots, x_d)^2$. We compute the relative $p$-adic $K$ groups for $R$ a perfectoid ring. In particular, we get the integral $K$ groups when $R$ is a finite field, and the integral relative $K$ groups $K_*(R[x_1,\ldots, x_d]/(x_1,\ldots, x_d)^2, (x_1,\ldots, x_d))$ when $R$ is a perfect $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra. We conclude the paper with some other notable computations, including some rings which are not quite of the above form.

description: Consumers interact with firms across multiple devices, browsers, and machines; these interactions are often recorded with different identifiers for the same consumer. The failure to correctly match different identities leads to a fragmented view of exposures and behaviors. This paper studies the identity fragmentation bias, referring to the estimation bias resulted from using fragmented data. Using a formal framework, we decompose the contributing factors of the estimation bias caused by data fragmentation and discuss the direction of bias. Contrary to conventional wisdom, this bias cannot be signed or bounded under standard assumptions. Instead, upward biases and sign reversals can occur even in experimental settings. We then compare several corrective measures, and discuss their respective advantages and caveats.

description: Host shifts are considered a key generator of insect biodiversity. For insects, adaptation to new host plants often requires changes in larval/pupal development and behavioural preference toward new hosts. Neurochemicals play key roles in both development and adult behaviour and therefore provide a potential source for such synchronization. Here, we correlated life-history timing, brain development and corresponding levels of 14 neurochemicals in Rhagoletis pomonella (Diptera: Tephritidae), a species undergoing ecological speciation through an ongoing host shift from hawthorn to apple fruit. These races exhibit differences in pupal diapause timing as well as adult behavioural preference with respect to their hosts. This difference in behavioural preference is coupled with differences in neurophysiological response to host volatiles. We found that apple race pupae exhibited adult brain morphogenesis three weeks faster after an identical simulated winter than the hawthorn race, which correlated with significantly lower titres of several neurochemicals. In some cases, particularly biogenic amines, differences in titres were reflected in the mature adult stage, when host preference is exhibited. In summary, life-history timing, neurochemical titre and brain development can be coupled in this speciating system, providing new hypotheses for the origins of new species through host shifts.

description: Bulky lesions in the template strand block the progression of RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) and are repaired more rapidly than lesions in the non-transcribed strand, which do not block transcription. In order to better understand the basis of this transcription-coupled repair we developed an in vitro system with purified transcription and nucleotide excision repair proteins and a plasmid containing the adenovirus major late promoter and a thymine dimer in the template strand downstream of the transcription start site. The footprint of RNAP II stalled at the thymine dimer, obtained using DNase I, lambda exonuclease and T4 polymerase 3'-->5'exonuclease, covers approximately 40 nt and is nearly symmetrical around the dimer. The ternary complex formed at the lesion site is rather stable, with a half-life of approximately 20 h. Surprisingly, addition of human repair proteins results in repair of transcription-blocking dimers in the ternary complex. The blocked polymerase neither inhibits nor stimulates repair and repair is observed in the absence of CSB protein, the putative human transcription-repair coupling factor.

Weakly Reversible CF-Decompositions of Chemical Kinetic Systems

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)

description: This paper studies chemical kinetic systems which decompose into weakly reversible complex factorizable (CF) systems. Among power law kinetic systems, CF systems (denoted as PL-RDK systems) are those where branching reactions of a reactant complex have identical rows in the kinetic order matrix. Mass action and generalized mass action systems (GMAS) are well-known examples. Schmitz's global carbon cycle model is a previously studied non-complex factorizable (NF) power law system (denoted as PL-NDK). We derive novel conditions for the existence of weakly reversible CF-decompositions and present an algorithm for verifying these conditions. We discuss methods for identifying independent decompositions, i.e., those where the stoichiometric subspaces of the subnetworks form a direct sum, as such decompositions relate positive equilibria sets of the subnetworks to that of the whole network. We then use the results to determine the positive equilibria sets of PL-NDK systems which admit an independent weakly reversible decomposition into PL-RDK systems of PLP type, i.e., the positive equilibria are log-parametrized, which is a broad generalization of a Deficiency Zero Theorem of Fortun et al. (2019).

description: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is among the most common genetic neurological diseases causing infant mortality. SMA is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1), leading to the depletion of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein and resulting in the selective degeneration of spinal cord motor neurons. Patients with SMA exhibit muscle weakness and hypotonia. There is no cure for this disorder, which is devastating for patients and their families and a serious societal health problem. The human genome also harbors the SMN2 gene, which is almost identical to SMN1 except for a single nucleotide difference in SMN2. The splicing change resulting from this difference yields only 10% of the full-length protein and high levels of an unstable, truncated protein lacking exon 7 (SMNDelta7). Although worms, flies, and mice are useful for studying disease pathogenesis and drug screening, they have important limitations in recapitulating human diseases. One is that they lack SMN2, which can be introduced only with transgenic modifications. The possibility of reprogramming mature somatic cells to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has enabled derivation of disease-specific pluripotent cells, offering unprecedented access to modeling human disease and for cell and gene therapy applications. Here, we successfully generated human SMA-iPSCs from a type 1 SMA patient and his unaffected father, using non-integrating episomal vectors and demonstrated their differentiation into motoneurons. Moreover, we employed single-stranded oligonucleotides to correct defective SMN1, the SMA gene, using SMN2. Corrected cell lines contained no exogenous sequences and appeared indistinguishable from healthy iPSCs. Non-viral SMA-iPSC-derived motor neurons reproduced disease-specific features while corrected SMA-specific-iPSCs gave rise to phenotypically rescued motor neurons in vitro and in vivo. Our next goal was to determine whether MNs derived from iPSCs survive and engraft appropriately within the SMA spinal cord, the effect of disease environment on grafted cells and vice versa, and whether transplantation can ameliorate the disease phenotype in SMA transgenic mice. iPSC-purified motoneurons were used for transplantation into the spinal cords of 1-day-old SMA mice. Transplantation of wild-type and corrected SMA motor neurons extended lifespan and ameliorated the phenotype of SMA mice. These results offer proof-of-concept that generating patient-specific iPSCs and motor neurons free of exogenous elements may be possible, with potential for research and clinical applications.

description: We consider IoT sensor network where multiple sensors are connected to corresponding destination nodes via a relay. Thus, the relay schedules sensors to sample and destination nodes to update. The relay can select multiple sensors and destination nodes in each time. In order to minimize average weighted sum AoI, joint optimization of sampling and updating policy of the relay is investigated. For errorless and symmetric case where weights are equally given, necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality is found. Using this result, we obtain that the minimum average sum AoI in a closed-form expression which can be interpreted as fundamental limit of sum AoI in a single relay network. Also, for error-prone and symmetric case, we have proved that greedy policy achieves the minimum average sum AoI at the destination nodes. For general case, we have proposed scheduling policy obtained via reinforcement learning.

description: Coding diet records is a basic element of most dietary surveys, yet it often receives little attention even though errors in coding can lead to flawed study results. In the INTERnational study of MAcro- and micronutrients and blood Pressure (INTERMAP study), efforts were made to minimise errors in coding the 18 720 diet records. Staff were centrally trained and certified before being able to process study data and ongoing quality control checks were performed. This involved the senior (site) nutritionist re-coding randomly selected diet records. To facilitate standardisation of coding in the UK, a code book was designed; it included information about coding brand items, density and portion size information, and default codes to be assigned when limited information was available for food items. It was found that trainees, despite previous experience in coding elsewhere, made coding errors that resulted in errors in estimates of daily energy and nutrient intakes. As training proceeded, the number of errors decreased. Compilation of the code book was labour-intensive, as information from food manufacturers and retailers had to be collected. Strategies are required to avoid repetition of this effort by other research groups. While the methods used in INTERMAP to reduce coding errors were time consuming, the experiences suggest that such errors are important and that they can be reduced.

description: Price limit trading rules are adopted in some stock markets (especially emerging markets) trying to cool off traders' short-term trading mania on individual stocks and increase market efficiency. Under such a microstructure, stocks may hit their up-limits and down-limits from time to time. However, the behaviors of price limit hits are not well studied partially due to the fact that main stock markets such as the US markets and most European markets do not set price limits. Here, we perform detailed analyses of the high-frequency data of all A-share common stocks traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange from 2000 to 2011 to investigate the statistical properties of price limit hits and the dynamical evolution of several important financial variables before stock price hits its limits. We compare the properties of up-limit hits and down-limit hits. We also divide the whole period into three bullish periods and three bearish periods to unveil possible differences during bullish and bearish market states. To uncover the impacts of stock capitalization on price limit hits, we partition all stocks into six portfolios according to their capitalizations on different trading days. We find that the price limit trading rule has a cooling-off effect (object to the magnet effect), indicating that the rule takes effect in the Chinese stock markets. We find that price continuation is much more likely to occur than price reversal on the next trading day after a limit-hitting day, especially for down-limit hits, which has potential practical values for market practitioners.

description: Collection of complete and accurate dietary intake data is necessary to investigate the association of nutrient intakes with disease outcomes. A standardised multiple-pass 24 h dietary recall method was used in the International Collaborative Study of Macro- and Micronutrients and Blood Pressure (INTERMAP) to obtain maximally objective data. Dietary interviewers were intensively trained and recalls taped, with consent, for randomly selected evaluations by the local site nutritionist (SN) and/or country nutritionists (CN) using a twelve-criterion checklist marked on a four-point scale (1, retrain, to 4, excellent). In the Belfast centre, seven dietary interviewers collected 932 24 h recalls from 40-59-year-old men and women. Total scores from the 134 evaluated recalls ranged from thirty-four to the maximum forty-eight points. All twelve aspects of the interviews were completed satisfactorily on average whether scored by the SN (n 53, range: probing 3.25 to privacy of interview 3.98) or CN (n 19, range: probing 3.26 to pace of interview and general manner of interviewer 3.95); the CN gave significantly lower scores than the SN for recalls evaluated by both nutritionists (n 31, Wilcoxon signed rank test, P=0.001). Five evaluations of three recalls identified areas requiring retraining or work to improve performance. Reporting accuracy was estimated using BMR; energy intake estimates less than 1.2 x BMR identifying under-reporting. Mean ratios in all age, sex

Here, we study the transport of a non-tumbling {\ecoli} strain, an active-matter archetype with intrinsic size variation but fairly uniform speed, through a periodic pillar array. We show that long-term transport switches from a trapping dominated state for shorter cells to a much more dispersive state for longer cells above a critical bacterial size set by the pillar array geometry. Using a combination of experiments and modeling, we show that this anomalous size-dependence arises from an enhancement of the escape rate from trapping for longer cells caused by nearby pillars. Our results show that geometric effects can lead to size being a sensitive tuning knob for transport in structured environments, with implications in general for active matter systems and, in particular, for the morphological adaptation of bacteria to structured habitats, spatial structuring of communities and for anti-biofouling materials design.

description: Though common in older adults, anaemia is unexplained in about one-third of cases. As a rare cause of anaemia and neutropenia, Cu deficiency could account for some cases of unexplained anaemia. We examined the relationship between serum Cu and unexplained anaemia among 11 240 participants in the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II): 638 (5.7 % of all adults) were anaemic; 421 (3.7 %) were not explained by deficiencies of vitamin B12, folate or Fe, chronic illness or renal disease. Spline regression showed a U-shaped relationship between serum Cu levels and unexplained anaemia, indicating that both high and low serum Cu levels are associated with unexplained anaemia in adults. Chronic inflammation and mild Fe deficiency could account for the association between unexplained anaemia and elevated Cu levels. On the other hand, the finding of hypocupraemia in a subset of adults with unexplained anaemia suggests that Cu deficiency may be a common reversible cause of anaemia in adults.

description: Under Council Regulations, authentication of fish as fresh or frozen-thawed is compulsory because of the widespread fraudulent practice of retailing fish products as fresh, when they have actually been frozen. Moreover, in order to satisfy the health requirements of EC Regulations 853/2004 and 1276/2011, the fish intended for raw consumption has to be deep-frozen before usage, to protect consumers against Anisakiasis.. The aim of this study was to apply histological analysis as a method for distinguishing between fresh and frozen-thawed fish, with a view to evaluate its potential use as a routine screening technique in compliance with the requirements of EC Regulation No. 882/2004 on official food and feed controls. In a first experiment, method performance (i.e., accuracy and precision) was evaluated on tissue samples from three common Mediterranean fish species; the evaluation was subsequently extended to include samples from 35 different fish species in a second experiment to test for method robustness. Specifically, method accuracy was tested by comparing histological results against a gold standard obtained from the analysis of frozen and unfrozen fish samples prepared for the study; method precision was evaluated according to inter-rater agreement (i.e., three laboratories with expertise in histopathology in the first experiment, and three expert analysts in the second experiment) by estimating Cohen's kappa (and corresponding 95% confidence intervals) for each pair of labs and experts and combined Cohen?s kappa for all three experts and labs. The observed interrater agreement among the three labs and the three experts showed good method accuracy and precision (high sensitivity and specificity), as well as good method reproducibility. Our results suggest that, besides being a rapid and simple tool, histology is a highly accurate method for distinguishing between fresh and frozen-thawed fish, irrespective of the fish species analysed. Furthermore in a third experiment ten samples obtained both from red and white-meat fish, based on real production of the food business, were designated to evaluate the performance of the histological method in correctly classifying the fish as fresh/frozen as well as the microbiological and chemical safety issues possibly related to the fishery products. All samples were collected and were subjected to histological, microbiological and chemical analyses before and after freezing. For two samples species identification was needed. Based on the histological method, one out of ten fish, all claimed to be fresh by the supplier, was not; all the remaining nine samples following freezing could be characterized microscopically as frozen; microbiological parameters resulted normal, while flesh from a tuna fish (Euthynnus alletteratus) contained mercury residues three times the legally permitted level.

description: In higher education institutions (HEI), surging demand for knowledge-intensive human capital, exacerbated by external environmental factors, presents the opportunity for in-depth study and the empirical review of higher education branding as well as its impact on talent management outcomes. This is the subject of this research. Based on the study of UK HE sectors, through the lenses of resource-based view and brand equity theories, this thesis extends the understanding of the context to which employer branding influences talent management. In doing so, the study focuses on employer branding processes in UK HEI and the employer value propositions that influence talent attraction and retention in UK HEIs. The study explores how these outcomes are shaped by employer branding processes. Employing a qualitative research method, the study interviewed seventy-five highly qualified academic talents, heads of business schools, HR Directors, HR partners, Marketing directors and marketing managers from 17 UK Business schools in South-eastern England and Scotland. The data were thematically analysed to identify patterns across the data set. Findings provide empirical evidence to a best -fit employer branding model as strategic tool for managing talent outcomes in higher education institutions. This is a significant contribution to knowledge based on this research. Findings also suggest employer branding as strategic talent management intervention in UK higher education institutions and further highlights key attributes (employer brand optimizers) that accentuate influence of employer branding on talent attraction and talent retention. The study also suggests a significant relationship and influence of employer brand stakeholders on talent attraction and talent retention. In doing so, this study provides stakeholders with insight into the effectiveness of employer branding as a strategic tool for talent attraction and retention in a competitive global knowledge-intensive business environment like HEIs. Findings from study further highlights the importance of multi-dimensional approach to the employer brand process underscoring the dynamic nature of talent management delivery. In addressing the study from a HEI context, this study adds to the literature on talent management in HEIs by providing evidence on the conceptualization and management of employer branding and talent management.

description: We conducted a cross-sectional study of NMR-derived HDL subclasses and alcohol intake among 2171 community-dwelling older adults with a large proportion of daily or near-daily alcohol consumers (44 %). We aimed to assess whether, in addition to increasing total HDL, alcohol may induce a beneficial shift in HDL particle size distribution. Participants were categorised based on reported alcohol intake (g per week) and on frequency (none, < 3 times/week, 3-4 times/week, ≥ 5 times/week). The association between alcohol intake and lipoprotein fractions was examined using sex-specific linear regression models adjusted for age, BMI, diabetes, current smoking, exercise and hormone therapy in women. There was a stepwise gradient with the highest weekly alcohol consumption associated with the highest total HDL size and greatest number of medium and large HDL particles, as well as higher total HDL concentrations (all P < 0.001); total small HDL did not differ. Alcohol-HDL size associations were similar in both sexes and did not differ by use of hormone replacement therapy in women. In conclusion, regular alcohol consumers had a higher number and percentage of large HDL particles than non-drinkers. These results suggest that one way that alcohol may decrease CVD is through potentially favourable changes in lipoprotein subclass composition.

description: Advances in pure optical trapping techniques now allow the creation of degenerate Bose gases with internal degrees of freedom. Systems such as ${}^{87}$Rb, $^{39}$K or ${}^{23}$Na in the $F=1$ hyperfine state offer an ideal platform for studying the interplay of superfluidity and quantum magnetism. Motivated by the experimental developments, we study ground state phases of a two-component Bose gas loaded on an optical lattice. The system is described effectively by the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian with onsite and near neighbor spin-spin interactions. An important feature of our investigation is the inclusion of interconversion (spin flip) terms between the two species, which has been observed in optical lattice experiments. Using mean-field theory and quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we map out the phase diagram of the system. A rich variety of phases is identified, including antiferromagnetic (AF) Mott insulators, ferromagnetic and AF superfluids.
