description: Interaction of a fluxon in the two-dimensional large Josephson junction with the finite area inhomogeneity is studied within the sine-Gordon theory. The spectral density of the emitted plane waves is computed exactly for the rectangular and rhombic inhomogeneities. Total emitted energy as a function of the fluxon velocity exhibits at least one local maximum. Connection to the previously studied limiting cases including the point impurity and the one-dimensional limit has been performed. An important feature o f the emitted energy as a function of the fluxon velocity is a clear maximum (or maxima). The dependence of these maxima on the geometric properties of the impurity has been studied in detail.

description: We study the structure of Fermionic networks, i.e., a model of networks based on the behavior of fermionic gases, and we analyze dynamical processes over them. In this model, particle dynamics have been mapped to the domain of networks, hence a parameter representing the temperature controls the evolution of the system. In doing so, it is possible to generate adaptive networks, i.e., networks whose structure varies over time. As shown in previous works, networks generated by quantum statistics can undergo critical phenomena as phase transitions and, moreover, they can be considered as thermodynamic systems. In this study, we analyze Fermionic networks and opinion dynamics processes over them, framing this network model as a computational model useful to represent complex and adaptive systems. Results highlight that a strong relation holds between the gas temperature and the structure of the achieved networks. Notably, both the degree distribution and the assortativity vary as the temperature varies, hence we can state that fermionic networks behave as adaptive networks. On the other hand, it is worth to highlight that we did not find relation between outcomes of opinion dynamics processes and the gas temperature. Therefore, although the latter plays a fundamental role in gas dynamics, on the network domain its importance is related only to structural properties of fermionic networks.

Shedding light on the dimming events of the CTTS RW Aur A.
Creators: name: Koutoulaki, Maria
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: The study of the inner gaseous disc of YSOs is crucial to understand the physical processes ruling disc evolution and its connection with planet formation. In this talk, I will present our results on the inner disc properties of the CTTS RW AurA. The RW Aur system has captured the attention of astronomers for its dimming events. By using X-SHOOTER spectra in the bright and dim states, we compare the NIR CO emission in order to shed light on this mystery. In general, the CO emission traces a warm (T=2000-5000K) and dense (NCO>1e12cm-2) gas as expected in the innermost region of discs. Both states need a cool (T=2600K) and dense (NCO=7e20cm-2) gas to reproduce the observations, with the emitting region located just inside the dust sublimation radius. By comparing the SED (from ~300 to ~1000 nm) and the CO emission of both states, we find that the dimming can be due to absorption by a layer of large grains with optical depth slowly declining from 2.8 to 1.6. The accretion rate remains constant (Macc~2e-8 Mo/yr) if one assumes that the same layer of dust also occults the accretion line emitting region. This excludes accretion bursts as the main cause of RW AurA brightness variability.
VLTI+ALMA imaging of potential planet-formation processes in the pre-transitional disc of V1247 Ori
Creators: name: Kreplin, Alexander
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: In this talk we present the results from our multi-wavelength, multi-epoch high-angular resolution imaging campaign on the pre-transitional V1247 Ori. Our observations cover the wide wavelength range from the visible (SPHERE), near-IR (VLTI+NACO+Keck+Subaru), mid-IR (VLTI+Gemini), to the sub-mm (ALMA, SMA). We detect extreme asymmetries on scales from 5 to 150 au that we interpret as signposts of ongoing planet formation. VLTI interferometry reveals optically-thick dust near the dust sublimation radius as well as an extended disc gap that is filled with a population of very small dust grains. Further out in the disc, our ALMA 0.04"-resolution imaging reveals a ring-shaped inner disc component with a prominent asymmetry and a sharply confined crescent structure, resembling morphologies seen in theoretical models of vortices formation. In the near-IR we detect a strong asymmetric structure that moved in position angle (PA) from -52° to +38° within 22 months, consistent with Keplerian motion of a companion on an 5 au orbit. This companion candidate is located too close to trigger the vortex, but might be responsible for clearing the region inside the ring observed with ALMA+VLTI.

description: ABSTRACT
 The aim of this study is to determine the factors that influence financially successful and unsuccessful businesses. As part of the study, financial data of 48 businesses included in the BIST 100 index for the 2001-2019 period were tested by logistic regression analysis. Businesses that were financially successful and financially unsuccessful were determined by the Altman Z-Score model criteria. Based on the price detection reports published in the companies' IPO, independent audited balance sheets and income statements for the pre-IPO periods were used, as well as data for the stock transaction period. The relevant data is accessed through the Public Disclosure Platform, Finnet and İstanbul Stock Exchange. As a result of the analysis, it has been determined that the variables that increase the success of the firm are the current ratio, asset turnover, fixed asset turnover and profit before interest and tax / total assets ratio. The variables that decreased operating success were found to be the total leverage ratio, cash conversion duration and return on equity.

Analysis of photometric and polarimetric observations of RW Aur A: arguments in favor of dusty wind
Creators: name: Lamzin, Sergei
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Results of UBVRIJHKLM photometry and VRI polarimetry of a young star RW Aur A observed during 2010-11 and 2014-18 dimming events are presented. Polarization degree p of RWAur A at this period has reached 30 % in I band. As in the case of UXORs so called 'blueing effect' in the color-magnitude V vs. B-V, V-R, V-I diagrams of the star and strong anticorrelation between p and brightness were observed. But duration and amplitude of the eclipses as well as value and orientation of polarization vector in our case differ significantly from that of UXORs. We concluded that dimmings of RW Aur A occured due to eclipses of the star and inner regions of its disk by axisymmetric dust evelope created by disk wind. Taking into account both scattering and absorption of stellar light by the evelope we explain the main features of the lightcurve and polarization degree -- magnitude dependence as well as estimate parameters of the dusty wind: mass loss rate, transverse component of the wind velocity, gas particle density.

description: Jets with a large radius $R\gtrsim 1$ and grooming algorithms are widely used to fully capture the decay products of boosted heavy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Unlike most discriminating variables used in such studies, the jet radius is usually not optimized for specific physics scenarios. This is because every jet configuration must be calibrated, insitu, to account for detector response and other experimental effects. One solution to enhance the availability of large-$R$ jet configurations used by the LHC experiments is {\it jet re-clustering}. Jet re-clustering introduces an intermediate scale $r
Warping protoplanetary discs by planets on inclined orbits
Creators: name: Nealon, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Current observations from ALMA have identified unique features in protoplanetary discs around young stars, including warps in the disc (e.g. TW Hya, HD 100453 and HD 135344B) and strongly misaligned inner discs (e.g. HD 100546 and AA Tau). For these systems in particular, observations rule out the influence of a secondary star suggesting that as yet unseen planets may be the cause. A planet that is capable of driving these features in the disc would be required to maintain an orbit that is inclined to the disc plane on long timescales, in contradiction with analytical expectations and current planet formation theory. Our initial investigation focuses on the evolution of a planet on an inclined orbit using three-dimensional numerical simulations. We will present these preliminary results and consider the significance of the disc structures found using synthetic observations.

description: The article presents an assessment of water level fluctuations in eight lakes located in the Bory Tucholskie National Park (Poland). Mann-Kendall and Sen tests were applied to analyze the extent and direction of lake water level changes. For the purpose of detection of shoreline active zones, digital lake bottom models were developed based on bathymetric measurements. They were integrated with catchment digital terrain model, developed based on data from Airborne Laser Scanning. In analysed period, water levels in the majority of lakes showed a decreasing tendency, as a result of climate change. An increasing tendency was only observed for two lakes caused by the activity of beavers (castor fiber). The study permitted the identification of active shoreline zones with long-term exposure to drying and flooding. These zones are of the highest importance from the point of view of the functioning of water and water-dependent ecosystems, particularly protected species.

In this paper, we answer the question of Behrstock and Druţu by showing that for each real number $s\geq 2$, there is a $CAT(0)$ space $X$ with a proper and cocompact action of some finitely generated group such that $X$ contains a Morse bi-infinite geodesic with the divergence equivalent to $r^s$.

description: This study proposes a new groundwater potentiality model (GPM) in the Bisha watershed, Saudi Arabia, by integrating logistic-regression (LR)-weighted and fuzzy logic-based ensemble machine learning (EML) models for the present and future scenarios. We applied random forest, bagging, and random subspace models for predicting the GPMs. We also used the general circulation model’s (GCM) minimum and maximum representative concentration pathway (RCP) 2.6 and 8.5 scenarios for the future GWP mapping. Results showed that the bagging hybrid model (Area under Curve: 0.986) outperformed other models. GWP models predicted 4058.57 km2 as very high, 4267.45 km2 as high, 4185.23 km2 as moderate, 4342. km2 as low, and 4430.24 km2 as very low groundwater potential zones. The best model combined with the future climatic conditions shows very high and high groundwater potential zones would cover 2319–2590 km2 and 3100–2795 km2. The current research will aid in the development of long-term sustainable groundwater management plans by increasing the effectiveness of GPMs.

description: We report the observation of an electron gas in a SiGe/Si/SiGe quantum well with maximum mobility up to 240 m^2/Vs, which is noticeably higher than previously reported results in silicon-based structures. Using SiO, rather than Al_2O_3, as an insulator, we obtain strongly reduced threshold voltages close to zero. In addition to the predominantly small-angle scattering well known in the high-mobility heterostructures, the observed linear temperature dependence of the conductivity reveals the presence of a short-range random potential.

Determining the launching regions of centrifugally-driven disc winds from non-ideal MHD simulations
Creators: name: Nolan, Chris
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Protostellar discs play an important role in star formation, acting as the primary mass reservoir for accretion onto young stars and regulating the extent to which angular momentum and gas is released back into stellar nurseries through the launching of powerful disc winds. In this talk, we present a novel approach to modelling the wind-launching region in protostellar disks, which enables us to map out the regions of protostellar disks where wind launching could be viable. We combine a series of 1.5D semi-analytic, steady-state, vertical disc-wind solutions into a radially extended 1+1.5D model, incorporating all three diffusion mechanisms (Ohm, Hall and ambipolar). From these models we observe that the majority of mass outflow via disc winds occurs over a radial width of a fraction of an astronomical unit, with outflow rates attenuating rapidly on either side. We also find that the mass accretion rate, midplane plasma beta, surface density profile and ionisation structure each have significant effects on both the location of the wind-launching region and the ejection/accretion ratio.

description: Lung function measures reflect the physiological state of the lung, and are essential to the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The SpiroMeta-CHARGE consortium undertook the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) so far (n=48 201) for forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and the ratio of FEV1 to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) in the general population. The lung expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) study mapped the genetic architecture of gene expression in lung tissue from 1111 individuals. We used a systems genetics approach to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with lung function that act as eQTLs and change the level of expression of their target genes in lung tissue; termed eSNPs.

description: We review the effective field theory of modified gravity in which the Lagrangian involves three dimensional geometric quantities appearing in the 3+1 decomposition of space-time. On the flat isotropic cosmological background we expand a general action up to second order in the perturbations of geometric scalars, by taking into account spatial derivatives higher than two. Our analysis covers a wide range of gravitational theories-- including Horndeski theory/its recent generalizations and the projectable/non-projectable versions of Hořava-Lifshitz gravity. We derive the equations of motion for linear cosmological perturbations and apply them to the calculations of inflationary power spectra as well as the dark energy dynamics in Galileon theories. We also show that our general results conveniently recover stability conditions of Hořava-Lifshitz gravity already derived in the literature.

description: Abstract
 This study aims to make a comparative analysis over commodity exchanges with and without a sales hall to measure the financial risk tolerance of commodity exchanges. The study also identifies the risk perceptions of the commodity exchanges, the risks that may affect their activities in the next five years, risk strategies and instruments they use, and examines the relationship between risk strategies and instruments used. This study is important in the context of delivering guiding results for analyzing the risk awareness of the commodity exchanges and preventing the loss of registration fee, managing the resources of exchanges efficiently, improving the quality of the products and services offered and bringing together exchanges under the regional exchange to provide sustainable competitive advantage. Based on the findings, production risk ranks first and human resources risk ranks last for the risks regarding affecting the operations of commodity exchanges in the next five years. Financial risk tolerance levels of commodity exchanges are moderate. There is no significant difference between the financial risk tolerances of the exchanges that have sales halls and those that do not have a sales hall. Risk is often perceived as uncertainty. Analytical methods are not preferred in risk measurement methods.

description: The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-COronaVIrus Diseases 2019 (SARS-COVID-19) has sternly affected the entire world in terms of human health, loss of lives, and huge economic losses. However, pandemic-triggered lockdown (LD) events (as a preventive measure) have compelled to stop or reduce major economic activities, exerting positive impacts on the terrestrial environment. We deployed a variety of satellite products (i.e., normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), and aerosol optical depth (AOD)) along with gridded climatic dataset (temperature (TEMP), precipitation (PREC), and net radiation (NR)) to quantify the changes in vegetation activity (greenness and productivity) during the LD period over the Indian biogeographic provinces (BGPs) as compared to the average conditions over the previous three years (2017-2019). The analysis of the NDVI and SIF data revealed that vegetation greenness and productivity significantly enhanced during LD periods (by up to 37 to 55%, respectively). The influence of climatic drivers (PREC, TEMP, and NR) on vegetation activity was also investigated. We found that the enhancement in the vegetation activity (over BGPs) during the LD period was not entirely driven by the climatic parameters, and was therefore inferred to be also influenced by the LD events. Moreover, vegetation activity around the mining clusters were largely improved during the LD period (by up to 78%) over the coal mining, followed by iron ore mining (up to 63%), and stone mining (up to 41%) clusters) regions. In a nutshell, it can be deliberated that COVID-triggered preventive measures (i.e., country-level LD, travel bans, industry ban, curtail in mining capacity, among others) likely enhanced vegetation health and productivity. Thereby, regulatory measures can be seen as a viable option for improving the terrestrial environmental conditions in the context of climate change in the near future.

description: In this talk we will present the prospects for exploring the innermost regions of protoplanetary discs with the new European Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). Construction of the telescope is underway and the suite of instruments that will be available at first light and beyond are being designed. Most of these instruments will be equipped with adaptive optics systems that will reach the diffraction limit of the enormous 39-m telescope aperature. When coupled with a strong emphasis on observations at infrared wavelengths (0.8-19microns), the telescope and its instruments are expected to compliment JWST and ALMA perfectly and to add significantly to our knowledge of the physics and chemistry of discs. Details of the instruments will be presented along with some of the disc-related science cases that will be enabled by the new facility.

Nella seconda parte prenderò in esame i presupposti culturali e filosofici che, a mio parere, dovrebbero essere alla base di una corretta pedagogia musicale. Concluderò con alcune indicazioni sulle pratiche di pedagogia musicale ispiratesi a questi principi. È doveroso chiarire fin da subito che quando parlo di pedagogia musicale non mi riferisco solo a una pedagogia "della" musica ma anche al contributo che la musica può portare al fine di migliorare la didattica e l'educazione a scuola. La pratica della musica e delle arti in genere, dunque, anche come modello di metodo di insegnamento.

description: The northwestern part of Indian plate consists of a number of sedimentary basins such as the Jaisalmer basin with Early Jurassic to Quaternary deposits. The NW-SE trending Kanoi fault and Ramgarh fault with Mari-Jaisalmer Arch in the basin are tectonically active. We delineate the tectonically active areas of the basin by considering watersheds, micro-scale basins and spot locations. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is applied to calculate the Index of Active Tectonics (IAT) for the watersheds. Basin asymmetry (AF), valley floor width to height ratio (Vf) and hypsometric curve are calculated/generated. Computed R2 values and the IAT identify watershed-4, Miajlai depression, to be tectonically most active. Three individual spots along the NW-trending Mari highland have tectonic control on drainage patters. The hydrocarbon fields are located in the Shahgarh and the Miajlar depression zones within watersheds 3 and 4, which are under tectonically moderate and high activities, respectively. HighlightsGeomorphology of the Jaisalmer basin in response to active tectonics is investigated.Watershed 4 is tectonically active followed by watershed 3. Hydrocarbon fields are located in these two watersheds.The work will have far-reaching implication in petroleum geosciences of the area.

description: Abstract
 There are many studies in the literature comparing the financial performances of financial institutions. Various multi-dimensional decision methods continue to be employed to determine which method is or may be most suitable for which company or industry. The purpose of this study is not to determine which method is best suited for sorting the financial performance of portfolio management companies. The study reveals that portfolio management companies serving in capital markets in Turkey from 2016 to 2020 can produce alternative sequences based on TOPSIS, MULTIMOORA, ARAS and VIKOR multi-criterion decision methods, and emphasizes the reasons for differing rankings. The number of studies on portfolio management companies and multi-scale decision-making methods is limited. We think that the study results, will create awareness in the context of the alternative performance ranking and evaluation in the investment decisions of the decision-makers. The conclusion reached by the study shows that similar rankings can be formed in multiple decision-making methods as in the İŞ portfolio company, and completely different rankings can be made in 14 portfolio companies. It is ascertained that the factors that cause the performance ranking differences in portfolio management companies are related to the scale, equity, asset size, niche area in which they provide services, profitability and portfolio size. The study reveals that different rankings are not coincidences.

description: A grid comb model is a generalization of the well known comb model, and it consists of $N$ backbones. For $N=1$ the system reduces to the comb model where subdiffusion takes place with the transport exponent $1/2$. We present an exact analytical evaluation of the transport exponent of anomalous diffusion for finite and infinite number of backbones. We show that for an arbitrarily large but finite number of backbones the transport exponent does not change. Contrary to that, for an infinite number of backbones, the transport exponent depends on the fractal dimension of the backbone structure.

description: ABSTRACT
 The aim of this study is to assess the transactional performance of licensed warehouses in the January 2018-November 2021 period using the TOPSIS and ARAS methods, other Multicriteria Decision Making Methods. Results obtained using the TOPSIS and ARAS methods were combined with the Copeland method, and the results were compared with the Takasbank ranking data. There is no integrated study regarding the transactional performance of licensed warehouse companies in the Turkish literature. In the world's case, investments in the licensed warehousing industry have grown to a significant level, and through the increased transaction depth in product markets, investors have begun to make greater profits. Successfully implementing the licensed warehousing system, countries that record unregistered trade with a sustainable competitive structures in the agricultural commodity production and trade of agricultural commodity, and increase tax revenues. Accordingly, it is of utmost importance to identify transaction performances in order to ensure that licensed warehousing companies in Turkey have more profitable investments and that returns on their investments are faster. In this context, the study is expected to contribute to the literature regarding the transactional performance of licensed warehouses. As a result of the study, Copeland results and Takasbank ranking data show that the companies with the best transactional performance are KAINAT, TOPRAK and MYSILO.

description: In this article, we consider a bouncing Universe, as described for example by Loop Quantum Cosmology. If the current acceleration is due to a true cosmological constant, this constant is naturally conserved through the bounce and the Universe should also be in a (contracting) de Sitter phase in the remote past. We investigate here the possibility that the de Sitter temperature in the contracting branch fills the Universe with radiation and causes the bounce and the subsequent inflation and reheating. We also consider the possibility that this gives rise to a cyclic model of the Universe and suggest some possible tests.

description: Scenarios of new physics where a single top quark can be produced in association with large missing energy (monotop) have been recently studied both from the theoretical point of view and by experimental collaborations. We revisit the originally proposed monotop setup by embedding the effective couplings of the top quark in an SU(2)L invariant formalism. We show that minimality selects one model for each of the possible production mechanisms: a scalar field coupling to a right-handed top quark and an invisible fermion when the monotop system is resonantly produced, and a vector field mediating the interactions of a dark sector to right-handed quarks for the non-resonant production mode. We study in detail constraints on the second class of scenarios, originating from contributions to standard single top processes when the mediator is lighter than the top quark and from the dark matter relic abundance when the mediator is heavier than the top quark.

Origin of super-Earths planets: influence of pebble accretion, migration and instabilities
Creators: name: Bitsch, Bertram
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: The majority of detected exoplanets are close-in super Earths (planets of a few Earth masses) orbiting their host star roughly inside 0.5 AU. Additionally nearly all systems of super Earths feature multiple planets within the same system, where the period ratios between adjacent planets are mostly outside of resonance. However, their formation is still mysterious. We present here new simulations that have the potential to explain the formation pathway of super Earths. We follow the growth, migration, and composition of planetary embryos of just a tiny fraction of the Earth mass to full grown planetary systems, where solid accretion is enhanced through pebble accretion. Our main findings include: a) A difference of about a factor two in pebble flux separates true terrestrial planet analogues, which are finally assembled after the gas disc dissipates, with super Earths formed completely during the gas-disc phase b) Chains of migrating super Earths pile up in resonances, which break during late instabilities, where the resulting planetary systems match very well with the Kepler observations Co-authors: A.

A Worldsheet Theory for Supergravity

description: We present a worldsheet theory that describes maps into a curved target space equipped with a B-field and dilaton. The conditions for the theory to be consistent at the quantum level can be computed exactly, and are that the target space fields obey the nonlinear d=10 supergravity equations of motion, with no higher curvature terms. The path integral is constrained to obey a generalization of the scattering equations to curved space. Remarkably, the supergravity field equations emerge as quantum corrections to these curved space scattering equations.

21 cm signal from cosmic dawn: Imprints of spin temperature fluctuations and peculiar velocities

description: The 21 cm brightness temperature $δT_{\rm b}$ fluctuations from reionization promise to provide information on the physical processes during that epoch. We present a formalism for generating the $δT_{\rm b}$ distribution using dark matter simulations and an one-dimensional radiative transfer code. Our analysis is able to account for the spin temperature $T_{\rm S}$ fluctuations arising from inhomogeneous X-ray heating and Ly$α$ coupling during cosmic dawn. The $δT_{\rm b}$ power spectrum amplitude at large scales ($k \sim 0.1$ Mpc$^{-1}$) is maximum when $\sim 10\%$ of the gas (by volume) is heated above the CMB temperature. The power spectrum shows a "bump"-like feature during cosmic dawn and its location measures the typical sizes of heated regions. We find that the effect of peculiar velocities on the power spectrum is negligible at large scales for most part of the reionization history. During early stages (when the volume averaged ionization fraction $\lesssim 0.2$) this is because the signal is dominated by fluctuations in $T_{\rm S}$. For reionization models that are solely driven by stars within high mass ($\gtrsim 10^9\, \rm M_{\odot}$) haloes, the peculiar velocity effects are prominent only at smaller scales ($k \gtrsim 0.4$ Mpc$^{-1}$) where patchiness in the neutral hydrogen density dominates the signal. The conclusions are unaffected by changes in the amplitude or steepness in the X-ray spectra of the sources.

Hearing loss alters quantal release at cochlear nucleus stellate cells

description: Auditory nerve synapses in ventral cochlear nucleus end on two principal cell types, bushy and stellate cells. While the effects of hearing loss on bushy cells has been well studied, little is known about the effects of hearing loss on synaptic input to the stellate cells. Based on prior observations in bushy cells, we hypothesized that noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) would decrease quantal release onto stellate cells.

description: One of the pivotal decision-making tools for sustainable management of water resources for various uses is accurate prediction of water quality. In the present paper, multiple linear regression (MLR), radial basis function neural network (RBF-NN), and multilayer perceptron neural network (MLP-NN) models were developed for the monitoring and management of irrigation water quality (IWQ) in Ojoto area, southeastern Nigeria. This paper is the first to integrate and simultaneously implement these predictive methods for the modeling of seven IWQ indices. Moreover, two modeling scenarios were considered. Scenario 1 represents predictions that utilized the specific physicochemical parameters for calculating the IWQ indices as input variables while Scenario 2 represents predictions that utilized pH, EC, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Cl-, SO42-, and HCO3- as inputs. In terms of salinity hazard, most of the water resources are unsuitable/poor for irrigation. However, in terms of carbonate and bicarbonate impact and magnesium hazard, majority of the samples have good and excellent IWQ. Seven agglomerative Q-mode dendrograms spatiotemporally classified the water resources based on the IWQ indices. Model validation metrics showed that the MLR, RBF-NN, and MLP-NN models developed in the two scenarios performed well in both scenarios, with minor variations.

description: We investigate the status of a scenario involving oscillations and decay for charged and neutral current data from the MINOS and T2K experiments. We first present an analysis of charged current neutrino and anti-neutrino data from MINOS in the framework of oscillation with decay and obtain a best fit for non-zero decay parameter $α_3$. The MINOS charged and neutral current data analysis results in the best fit for $|Δm_{32}^2| = 2.34\times 10^{-3}$~eV$^2$, $\sin^2 θ_{23} = 0.60$ and zero decay parameter, which corresponds to the limit for standard oscillations. Our combined MINOS and T2K analysis reports a constraint at the 90\% confidence level for the neutrino decay lifetime $τ_3/m_3 > 2.8 \times 10^{-12}$~s/eV. This is the best limit based only on accelerator produced neutrinos.
