description: We study a renormalizable SUSY $SO(10)$ GUT model where the Yukawa couplings of single ${\bf 10}$, single ${\bf \overline{126}}$ and single ${\bf 120}$ fields, $Y_{10},Y_{126},Y_{120}$, account for the quark and lepton Yukawa couplings and the neutrino mass. We pursue the possibility that $Y_{10},Y_{126},Y_{120}$ reproduce the correct quark and lepton masses, CKM and PMNS matrices and neutrino mass differences, and at the same time suppress dimension-5 proton decays (proton decays via colored Higgsino exchange) through their texture, so that the soft SUSY breaking scale can be reduced as much as possible without conflicting the current experimental bound on proton decays. We perform a numerical search for such a texture, and investigate implications of that texture on unknown neutrino parameters, the Dirac CP phase of PMNS matrix, the lightest neutrino mass and the $(1,1)$-component of the neutrino mass matrix in the charged lepton basis. Here we concentrate on the case when the active neutrino mass is generated mostly by the Type-2 seesaw mechanism, in which case the correlation between the suppression of dimension-5 proton decays and the neutrino parameters is expected to be most direct.

Differential rotation of main sequence F stars

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The differential rotation of a 1.2 $M_\odot$ zero age MS star (spectral type F8) is computed and the results are compared with those from a similar model of the Sun. The rotation pattern is determined by solving the Reynolds equation including the convective energy transport. The latter is anisotropic due to the Coriolis force causing a horizontal temperature gradient of ~ 7 K between the poles and the equator. Comparison of the transport mechanisms of angular momentum (the eddy viscosity, the $Λ$-effect and the meridional flow) shows that for the F star the $Λ$-effect is the most powerful transporter for rotation periods of 7 d or less. In the limit of very fast rotation the $Λ$-effect is balanced by the meridional flow alone and the rotation is nearly rigid. The rotation pattern found for the F star is very similar to the solar rotation law, but the horizontal shear is about twice the solar value. As a function of the rotation period, the total equator-pole difference of the angular velocity has a (slight) maximum at a period of 7 d and (slowly) vanishes in both the limiting cases of very fast and very slow rotation. A comparison of the solar models with those for the F-type star shows a much stronger dependence of the differential surface rotation on the stellar luminosity rather than on the rotation rate.

description: Disagrarization processes are multi-faceted and complex. They concern both production changes, as well as economic, ecological and socio-cultural transformations. The paper discusses the problem of disagrarization production, which consists mainly of abandonment by farmers using agricultural land, abandonment of production and limiting capital investments. Based on studies carried out in 39 communes of the Małopolska and Świętokrzyskie Provinces fund, that the status advancement of disagrarization process provide a high proportion of farms without animals production (about 66%), farms fallowing agricultural land (about 18%) and high share of wasteland in the structure of agriculture land in the commune (about 10%). At the same time, in analysed teritorial units was noted high share of nonprogressive and declining farms

Muon Flavor Violation in Two Higgs Doublet Model with Extra Yukawa Couplings

description: The new round of experiments, MEG II, COMET/Mu2e, and Mu3e, would soon start to push the $μ\to eγ$, $μN \to eN$ conversion, and $μ\to 3e$ frontier, while Belle II would probe $τ\to μγ$ and $τ\to 3μ$. In the general two Higgs doublet model with extra Yukawa couplings, we show that all these processes probe the lepton flavor violating (LFV) dipole transition that arises from the two loop mechanism, with scalar-induced contact terms subdominant. This is because existing data suggest the extra Yukawa couplings $ρ_{μe},\, ρ_{ee} \lesssim λ_e$, while $ρ_{τμ},\, ρ_{ττ} \lesssim λ_τ$ and $ρ_{tt} \lesssim λ_t$, with $λ_i$ the usual Yukawa coupling of the Standard Model (SM), where $ρ_{μe}ρ_{tt}$ and $ρ_{τμ}ρ_{tt}$ enter the $μeγ$ and $τμγ$ two loop amplitudes, respectively. With the $B_s \to μμ$ decay rate basically consistent with SM expectation, together with the $B_s$ mixing constraint, we show that $B_s \to ττ$ would also be consistent with SM, while $B_s \to τμ$ and $B \to Kτμ$ decays would be out of reach of projected sensitivities, in strong contrast with some models motivated by the B anomalies.

description: The purpose of the analysis was to show trends in foreign trade of live pigs in light of the profitability of its production in Poland. In the last few years a trend towards more negative balance of trade in pig products was being observed, while import of piglets and weaners was increasing. Increasing turnover of the foreign trade in pigs was accompanied by relatively slow processes of concentration of pigs production, a significant decrease of livestock and the number of farms involved in the breeding of pigs (in this sows) in Poland. The fall in the domestic production of the pigs was caused, among others, deterioration of the profitability of pig production.

The Lifetimes and Evolution of Molecular Cloud Cores

description: We discuss the lifetimes and evolution of clumps and cores formed as turbulent density fluctuations in nearly isothermal molecular clouds. In the non-magnetic case, clumps are unlikely to reach a hydrostatic state, and instead are expected to either proceed directly to collapse, or else ``rebound'' towards the mean pressure and density of the parent cloud. Rebounding clumps are delayed in their re-expansion by their self-gravity. From a simple virial calculation, we find re-expansion times of a few free-fall times. In the magnetic case, we present a series of driven-turbulence, ideal-MHD isothermal numerical simulations in which we follow the evolution of clumps and cores in relation to the magnetic criticality of their ``parent clouds'' (the numerical boxes). In subcritical boxes, magnetostatic clumps do not form. A few moderately-gravitationally bound clumps form which however are dispersed by the turbulence in < 1.3 Myr. An estimate of the ambipolar diffusion (AD) time scale t_AD in these cores gives t_AD > 1.3 Myr, only slightly longer than the dynamical times. In supercritical boxes, some cores become locally supercritical and collapse in typical times ~ 1 Myr. We also observe longer-lived supercritical cores that however do not collapse because they are smaller than the local Jeans length. Fewer clumps and cores form in these simulations than in their non-magnetic counterpart. Our results suggest that a) A fraction of the cores may not form stars, and may correspond to some of the observed starless cores. b) Cores may be out-of-equilibrium structures, rather than quasi-magnetostatic ones. c) The magnetic field may help reduce the star formation efficiency by reducing the probability of core formation, rather than by significantly delaying the collapse of individual cores.

title: Exploring the Impacts of Financial Education on Behaviour Change in Personal Finance Management: Evidence from the PUFin Educational Programme “Managing My Money”
Creators: name: Nguyen, Thu Thanh Tam
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: The impacts of educational interventions towards behaviour change have been disputed in previous studies (Hensley, 2015; Collins & Holden, 2014; Hopley, 2003). This study investigated whether financial interventions result in a change in financial behaviour. It also examined the role of educational interventions in contributing to the financial well-being (FWB) of citizens through obtaining desirable behaviour change and strengthening financial capability. The participants in the study have taken part in the “Managing My Money” course (MMM). This study examined if they had made a change in their behaviour, as a result of taking part in this course. The literature review covers the theories explaining the relationship between educational interventions, behaviour change, financial capability and FWB using a range of behaviour change models, such as the “Five Stages of Change” model (Prochaska et al., 1992; Prochaska & DiClemente, 1983). A positivist approach was chosen to measure behaviour change. A survey method was applied and enriched with data from open-ended questions (Easterby-Smith et al, 2008). The deductive analysis of the open-ended responses provided a clearer picture of actual behaviour change and financial capability of students before and after the course. This research makes an empirical contribution to the behaviour change literature. It provides evidence showing the effect of financial education towards behaviour change in personal finance (Prochaska & Di Clemente, 1992; Collins & Holden, 2014; Darnton, 2008). This research also supports previous studies that an educational intervention does not always result in behaviour change (SeiLing and Shockey, 2006), but helps to prepare people to make a change. In addition, it uncovered factors that constrained people in making a change, such as knowledge and low-income (Bell & Lerman, 2005; Lyons, 2005). A conceptual framework of the relationship between educational intervention; behaviour change, financial capability and well-being is outlined. The study has implications for social marketers, where a programme of personal financial education, should be developed to promote positive behaviour change, in particular for low-income individuals to encourage an improvement in the FWB of society.

description: It is well known that a theory of the (i) Lorentz invariant and (ii) locally interacting (iii) two degrees of freedom of a massless spin 1 particle, the photon, leads uniquely to electromagnetism at large distances. In this work, we remove the assumption of (i) Lorentz boost invariance, but we still demand (ii) and (iii). We consider several broad classes of theories of spin 1, which in general explicitly violate Lorentz symmetry. We restrict to the familiar two degrees of freedom of the photon. We find that most theories lead to non-locality and instantaneous signaling at a distance. By demanding a mild form of locality (ii), namely that the tree-level exchange action is manifestly local, we find that the photon must still be sourced by a conserved charge with an associated internal symmetry. This recovers the central features of electromagnetism, although it does not by itself impose Lorentz boost symmetry. The case of gravitation dramatically improves the final conclusion and is reported in detail in our accompanying paper Part 2.

Hard diffraction from parton rescattering in QCD

description: We analyze the QCD dynamics of diffractive deep inelastic scattering. The presence of a rapidity gap between the target and diffractive system requires that the target remnant emerges in a color singlet state, which we show is made possible by the soft rescattering of the struck quark. This rescattering is described by the path-ordered exponential (Wilson line) in the expression for the parton distribution function of the target. The multiple scattering of the struck parton via instantaneous interactions in the target generates dominantly imaginary diffractive amplitudes, giving rise to an "effective pomeron" exchange. The pomeron is not an intrinsic part of the proton but a dynamical effect of the interaction. This picture also applies to diffraction in hadron-initiated processes. Due to the different color environment the rescattering is different in virtual photon- and hadron-induced processes, explaining the observed non-universality of diffractive parton distributions. This framework provides a theoretical basis for the phenomenologically successful Soft Color Interaction model which includes rescattering effects and thus generates a variety of final states with rapidity gaps. We discuss developments of the SCI model to account for the color coherence features of the underlying subprocesses.

description: One of the crucial areas of state engagement is education, including this at a higher level. Public expenditures on higher education in 2013 were on the level 13,2 mln PLN what constituted the 0,68% GDP. It’s essential to create stimulators of rational management of public funds. One of the best ways is to study the efficiency of functioning of the universities and their faculties. In the article it has been taken the discussion about the efficiency of public universities and the methods of her measurement, by focusing attention on the non-parametric method - Data Envelopment Analysis. A review of the relevant domestic and international literature was undertaken. The article presents the results of researches in the DEA efficiency ratio for forty six faculties representing life sciences. The analysis was conducted using the CCR model aimed at maximizing effects. The model featured the following variables: two inputs and three outputs. Eight faculties were found efficient, and the remaining thirty eight – inefficient. There is a need to continue researches with using alternative methods of measurement.

description: Building Information Modeling (BIM) wurde in Architektur, Ingenieurswesen und Konstruktionsindustrie eingeführt, um die Zusammenarbeit zwischen verschiedenen Disziplinen voranzutreiben und den ganzheitlichen Arbeitsablauf von Bauprojekten zu vereinfachen. Durch richtiges Modellieren mittels Building Information Modeling (BIM) wird durch den verlässlichen Datenexport der Aufbau von Gebäudesimulationen wesentlich erleichtert. Unter den exaktesten Simulationswerkzeugen befindet sich EnergyPlus, welches Energieverbrauch und Wärmebedürfnisse von Gebäuden kalkuliert. Die enorme Vielfalt an möglichen Input Variablen erlaubt sehr exakte und realitätsnahe Ergebnisse. Gegenwärtig wird der Informationsaustausch zwischen dem BIM Autorenwerkzeug und EnergyPlus möglich gemacht, indem die Gebäudegeometrie für den Simulationsinput in einen halb automatischen Prozess extrahiert und übersetzt wird. Hierfür werden zwei Datenformate verwendet: 1) gbXML (Green Building XML) und 2) IFC (buildingSMART, vorher: AIA). Es haben jedoch beide Formate einzigartige Datenstrukturen, welche die Gebäudegeometrie unterschiedlich bearbeiten. Das Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist, mit dem Schwerpunkt auf Simulationen der Energieeffizienz und Ablauf des Datentransfers, den Nutzen von gbXML und IFC im Prozess von Gebäudensimulationen mit EnergyPlus zu evaluieren und zu vergleichen.
description: Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been introduced to the Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC) industry to promote collaboration between various disciplines and to facilitate integrated workflow of building projects. In that sense BIM also potentially assists the process of Building Performance Simulations (BPS) by maintaining a reliable data repository for building geometry parameters. Among the most precise whole building simulation tools is EnergyPlus that provides thorough energy analysis, thermal load calculations and also requires careful building data input for successful simulation. Currently, information exchange between the BIM authoring tool and EnergyPlus is possible by extracting and translating building geometry for simulation input in a semi-automated process using two data formats: 1) gbXML (Green Building XML) or 2) IFC (buildingSMART, former AIA). However, the two formats have unique data structures, which retrieve building geometry differently. With focus on thermal energy simulations and data exchange workflows this paper aims to evaluate and compare the use of gbXML and IFC into the process of BPS with EnergyPlus.

RCI shows the strengths and weaknesses of each of the EU NUTS 2 regions. The definition of regional competitiveness underpinning the RCI may therefore be summarized as “the ability to offer an attractive and sustainable environment for firms and residents to live and work”. The most competitive regions in Poland, as measured by the RCI, are Mazowieckie province and Śląskie province. The same result was observed in infrastructure pillar.

description: Understanding the role of elastic strain in modifying catalytic reaction rates is crucial for catalyst design, but experimentally, this effect is often coupled with a ligand effect. To isolate the strain effect, we have investigated the influence of externally applied elastic strain on the catalytic activity of metal films towards the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). We show that elastic strain tunes the catalytic activity in a controlled and predictable way. Both theory and experiment show strain controls reactivity in a controlled manner consistent with the qualitative predictions of the HER volcano plot and the d-band theory: Ni and Pt activity were accelerated by compression, while Cu activity was accelerated by tension. By isolating the elastic strain effect from the ligand effect, this study provides a greater insight into the role of elastic strain in controlling electrocatalytic activity.

description: We study the large amplitude response of classical molecules to electromagnetic radiation, showing the universality of the transition from the linear to nonlinear response and brakeup at sufficiently large amplitudes. A range of models, from the simple harmonic oscillator to the successful Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois (PBD) type models of DNA, lead to characteristic universal behavior: formation of domains of dissociation in the driving force amplitude-frequency space, characterized by the presence of local boundary minima. We demonstrate, that by simply following the progression of the resonance maxima in this space, while gradually increasing intensity of the radiation one must necessarily arrive at one of these minima, i.e. a point where the ultra-high spectral selectivity is retained. We show that this universal property, applicable to other oscillatory system, is a consequence of the fact that these models belong to the fold catastrophe universality class of the catastrophe theory. This in turn implies that for most bio-structures, including DNA, a high spectral sensitivity near the onset of the denaturation processes can be expected. Such spectrally selective molecular denaturation could find important applications in biology and medicine.

description: We present the path integral representation of the generating function for classical exclusive particle systems. By introducing hard-core bosonic creation and annihilation operators and appropriate commutation relations, we construct the Fock space structure. Using the state vector, the generating function is defined and the master equation of the system is transformed into the equation for the generating function. Finally, the solution of the linear equation for the generating function is derived in the form of the path integral. Applying the formalism, the equivalence of reaction-diffusion processes of single species and two species are described.

description: We calculate exactly the velocity and diffusion constant of a microscopic stochastic model of $N$ evolving particles which can be described by a noisy traveling wave equation with a noise of order $N^{-1/2}$. Our model can be viewed as the infinite range limit of a directed polymer in random medium with $N$ sites in the transverse direction. Despite some peculiarities of the traveling wave equations in the absence of noise, our exact solution allows us to test the validity of a simple cutoff approximation and to show that, in the weak noise limit, the position of the front can be completely described by the effect of the noise on the first particle.

description: It is known that local, Lorentz invariant, unitary theories involving particles with spin 1 demand that the matter sector they couple to are organized by internal physical symmetries and the associated charge conservation, while spin 3/2 demands supersymmetry. However, the introduction of a spin 2 graviton does not obviously demand new symmetries of the matter sector (although it does demand a universal coupling). In this work we relax the assumption of Lorentz boost symmetry, while maintaining a basic notion of locality that there is no instantaneous signaling at a distance. This extends and complements our accompanying work in Part 1 on related issues for spin 1 particles in electromagnetism. In order to avoid potential problems with longitudinal modes of the graviton, we choose to project them out, leaving only two degrees of freedom. We study large classes of theories that a priori may violate Lorentz boost invariance. By requiring the tree-level exchange action be local, we find that consistency demands that the Lorentz boost symmetry must be satisfied by the graviton and the matter sector, and in turn we recover general relativity at this order of analysis.

description: The paper reviews the main criteria for classifying the eastern Polish border region as a peripheral area. Apart from geographical location there are also economic, social and cultural criteria. The article refers to the economic, social and cultural conditions of local development. The main direction of development of the Polish region of eastern is agriculture. The area is also characterised by low population density. This hinders the development of the area. It can also be an advantage, especially in a situation of tourism development. The paper discusses selected factors determining the local development of Eastern Poland. The emphasis is put on their diversity and the fact that the interpretation of their real impact remains inconclusive as it is in the case of the border itself. The boundary state can be both a barrier and a factor stimulating the development of the areas. The analysis justifi es the conclusion that each of these factors contributes to the development of border areas. Strength of their impact depends on the strategy of development. The article uses an analysis of source materials, as well as the author’s own observations arising from years of the research conducted in this area.

description: The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey (VVDS), designed to measure 150,000 galaxy redshifts, requires a dedicated data reduction and analysis pipeline to process in a timely fashion the large amount of spectroscopic data being produced. This requirement has lead to the development of the VIMOS Interactive Pipeline and Graphical Interface (VIPGI), a new software package designed to simplify to a very high degree the task of reducing astronomical data obtained with VIMOS, the imaging spectrograph built by the VIRMOS Consortium for the European Southern Observatory, and mounted on Unit 3 (Melipal) of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) at Paranal Observatory (Chile). VIPGI provides the astronomer with specially designed VIMOS data reduction functions, a VIMOS-centric data organizer, and dedicated data browsing and plotting tools, that can be used to verify the quality and accuracy of the various stages of the data reduction process. The quality and accuracy of the data reduction pipeline are comparable to those obtained using well known IRAF tasks, but the speed of the data reduction process is significantly increased, thanks to the large set of dedicated features. In this paper we discuss the details of the MOS data reduction pipeline implemented in VIPGI, as applied to the reduction of some 20,000 VVDS spectra, assessing quantitatively the accuracy of the various reduction steps. We also provide a more general overview of VIPGI capabilities, a tool that can be used for the reduction of any kind of VIMOS data.

description: This article presents selected issues related to the problem of organizational culture. The work is based on the results of empirical research involving qualitative investigations using the case study method. It examines the values and norms defi ning the organizational culture of selected agricultural enterprises. It was found that the values and norms are an important factor in the competitiveness of a company. Appropriate shaping of the organizational culture promotes proinnovative behavior of employees and builds an attractive image of the organization. Considerations related to the culture of the organization revealed the importance of the multidimensionality of this concept. In addition, organizational culture can have a big impact on functioning and effectiveness of a company.
Aharonov-Bohm Oscillation and Chirality Effect in Optical Activity of Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes

description: We study the Aharonov-Bohm effect in the optical phenomena of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCN) and also their chirality dependence. Specially, we consider the natural optical activity as a proper observable and derive it's general expression based on a comprehensive symmetry analysis, which reveals the interplay between the enclosed magnetic flux and the tubule chirality for arbitrary chiral SWCN. A quantitative result for this optical property is given by a gauge invariant tight-binding approximation calculation to stimulate experimental measurements.

description: We analyze the weak-coupling instabilities that may arise when multiple high-order Van Hove points are present inside the Brillouin zone. The model we consider is inspired by twisted bilayer graphene, although the analysis should be more generally applicable. We employ a parquet renormalization group analysis to identify the leading weak-coupling instabilities, supplemented with a Ginzburg-Landau treatment to resolve any degeneracies. Hence we identify the leading instabilities that can occur from weak repulsion with the power-law divergent density of states. Five correlated phases are uncovered along distinct stable fixed trajectories, including $s$-wave ferromagnetism, $p$-wave chiral/helical superconductivity, $d$-wave chiral superconductivity, $f$-wave valley-polarized order, and $p$-wave polar valley-polarized order. The phase diagram is stable against band deformations which preserve the high-order Van Hove singularity.

The gendered and trans/gendered self : personal, political, and psychological narratives of trans repudiation, trauma, and healing
Creators: name: Shelley, Christopher Acton
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Transpeople are among the most marginalised [i.e. marginalized] and subjugated of social groups. Any attempt to improve this situation demands understanding (a hermeneutic task) and concrete change (which activism can incite). This study turns to feminist theory and psychoanalysis/depth psychology, in an attempt to understand the everyday/night repudiations that transpeople experience. Examples of such experiences are taken from twenty in-depth interviews conducted in B.C., and considered in relation to existing comprehensions of gender (in)justice. Trans repudiation is perpetrated from across the political spectrum (from the right, centre, and left) and paradoxically configures transpeople simultaneously as exotic Others (a seductive spectacle), and dangerous transgressors (stirring fear/enmity). Transpeople present a challenge to both modernist and postmodern theories of sex/gender in relation to subjectivity and the body. In particular, they epitomise problems in longstanding debates around the integrity of the “self” and the divided status of the "subject". Transsexuals illustrate the difficulties of changing sex in order to become "whole", while the trans-gendered experience obstacles to their desire to remain both (m/f) or in-between (/). All those interviewed have experienced an array of prejudiced reactions based on their status as ’trans’. Repudiation occurs at the intersections of interiority and exteriority: exteriority in the form of barriers encountered in the social world, and interiority as demonstrated in interpersonal dynamics that engage the perpetrators’ unconscious motivations (repression/projection/abjection) and transpeople’s internalised (emotional/mental) conflicts. The interviews allow identification of institutional sites where trans repudiation is most problematic, while the theoretical framework points to the deeper changes that need to occur in people’s consciousness in order to eliminate this repudiation.
