description: We present the calculation of the virtual- and bremsstrahlung corrections of O(alpha_s) to the matrix elements . This is the missing piece in the NNLL results for various observables associated with the process B-> X_d l+ l-, like the branching ratio, the CP-rate asymmetry and the forward-backward asymmetry. This paper is an extension of analogous calculations done by some of us for the process B-> X_s l+ l-. As the contributions of the diagrams induced by the operators O_1^u and O_2^u with a u-quark running in the quark loop are strongly CKM suppressed, they were omitted in the analysis of B->X_s l+ l-. This is no longer possible for B-> X_d l+ l-, as the corresponding contributions are not suppressed. The main new work therefore consists of calculating the O(alpha_s) corrections to . In this paper we restrict ourselves to the range 0.05 < s/m_b^2 < 0.25 (s is the invariant mass of the lepton pair), which lies above the rho- and omega-resonances and below the J/psi-resonance. We present the analytic results for the mentioned observables related to the process B-> X_d l+ l- as expansions in the small parameters s/m_b^2, z = m_c^2/m_b^2 and s/(4 m_c^2). In the phenomenological analysis at the end of the paper we discuss the impact of the NNLL corrections on the observables mentioned above.

Exact and Robust Reconstructions of Integer Vectors Based on Multidimensional Chinese Remainder Theorem (MD-CRT)

description: The robust Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) has been recently proposed for robustly reconstructing a large nonnegative integer from erroneous remainders. It has found many applications in signal processing, including phase unwrapping and frequency estimation under sub-Nyquist sampling. Motivated by the applications in multidimensional (MD) signal processing, in this paper we propose the MD-CRT and robust MD-CRT for integer vectors. Specifically, by rephrasing the abstract CRT for rings in number-theoretic terms, we first derive the MD-CRT for integer vectors with respect to a general set of integer matrix moduli, which provides an algorithm to uniquely reconstruct an integer vector from its remainders, if it is in the fundamental parallelepiped of the lattice generated by a least common right multiple of all the moduli. For some special forms of moduli, we present explicit reconstruction formulae. Moreover, we derive the robust MD-CRT for integer vectors when the remaining integer matrices of all the moduli left divided by their greatest common left divisor (gcld) are pairwise commutative and coprime. Two different reconstruction algorithms are proposed, and accordingly, two different conditions on the remainder error bound for the reconstruction robustness are obtained, which are related to a quarter of the minimum distance of the lattice generated by the gcld of all the moduli or the Smith normal form of the gcld.

description: We present an explicit formula for the transition matrix $\mathcal{C}$ from the type $BC_n$ Koornwinder polynomials $P_{(1^r)}(x|a,b,c,d|q,t)$ with one column diagrams, to the type $BC_n$ monomial symmetric polynomials $m_{(1^{r})}(x)$. The entries of the matrix $\mathcal{C}$ enjoy a set of four terms recursion relations. These recursions provide us with the branching rules for the Koornwinder polynomials with one column diagrams, namely the restriction rules from $BC_n$ to $BC_{n-1}$. To have a good description of the transition matrices involved, we introduce the following degeneration scheme of the Koornwinder polynomials: $P_{(1^r)}(x|a,b,c,d|q,t) \longleftrightarrow P_{(1^r)}(x|a,-a,c,d|q,t)\longleftrightarrow P_{(1^r)}(x|a,-a,c,-c|q,t) \longleftrightarrow P_{(1^r)}\big(x|t^{1/2}c,-t^{1/2}c,c,-c|q,t\big) \longleftrightarrow P_{(1^r)}\big(x|t^{1/2},-t^{1/2},1,-1|q,t\big)$. We prove that the transition matrices associated with each of these degeneration steps are given in terms of the matrix inversion formula of Bressoud. As an application, we give an explicit formula for the Kostka polynomials of type $B_n$, namely the transition matrix from the Schur polynomials $P^{(B_n,B_n)}_{(1^r)}(x|q;q,q)$ to the Hall-Littlewood polynomials $P^{(B_n,B_n)}_{(1^r)}(x|t;0,t)$. We also present a conjecture for the asymptotically free eigenfunctions of the $B_n$ $q$-Toda operator, which can be regarded as a branching formula from the $B_n$ $q$-Toda eigenfunction restricted to the $A_{n-1}$ $q$-Toda eigenfunctions.

Kinetic Beaming in Radiative Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection: A Mechanism for Rapid Gamma-Ray Flares in Jets

description: Rapid gamma-ray flares pose an astrophysical puzzle, requiring mechanisms both to accelerate energetic particles and to produce fast observed variability. These dual requirements may be satisfied by collisionless relativistic magnetic reconnection. On the one hand, relativistic reconnection can energize gamma-ray emitting electrons. On the other, as previous kinetic simulations have shown, the reconnection acceleration mechanism preferentially focuses high-energy particles -- and their emitted photons -- into beams, which may create rapid blips in flux as they cross a telescope's line of sight. Using a series of 2D pair-plasma particle-in-cell simulations, we explicitly demonstrate the critical role played by radiative cooling in mediating the observable signatures of this `kinetic beaming' effect. Only in our efficiently cooled simulations do we measure kinetic beaming beyond one light crossing time of the reconnection layer. We find a correlation between the cooling strength and the photon energy range across which persistent kinetic beaming occurs: stronger cooling coincides with a wider range of beamed photon energies. We also apply our results to rapid gamma-ray flares in flat-spectrum radio quasars, suggesting that a paradigm of radiatively efficient kinetic beaming constrains relevant emission models. In particular, beaming-produced variability may be more easily realized in two-zone (e.g. spine-sheath) set-ups, with Compton seed photons originating in the jet itself, rather than in one-zone external Compton scenarios.

description: In view of the present-day interest of the United Nations and the United States in the development of the so-called "backward" countries, and the desire of the Haitian government to take advantage of the technical assistance programs sponsored by the United Nations and the United States, it is necessary to explore and evaluate the course of recent Haitian agricultural history. Knowledge of the past record will act as a guide in charting the course of future agricultural policy in Haiti. This study is intended to serve as such a guide. The objective of this study is to analyze the agrarian aspects of the economic development of Haiti during the period 1934 to 1953, to determine the trends in agricultural development and the manner in which agricultural conditions have contributed to, and imposed limitations upon the solution of, the nation's social and economic problems.

We show that it is possible to reduce the dimension of the kernel of the Lefschetz map if we blow up along a suitable submanifold satisfying the Lefschetz property. We use that, together with results about Massey products, to construct nonformal (simply connected) symplectic manifolds satisfying the Lefschetz property.

description: We consider two versions of discrete time totally asymmetric simple exclusion processes (TASEPs) with geometric and Bernoulli random hopping probabilities. For the process mixed with these and continuous time dynamics, we obtain a single Fredholm determinant representation for the joint distribution function of particle positions with arbitrary initial data. This formula is a generalization of the recent result by Mateski, Quastel and Remenik and allows us to take the KPZ scaling limit. For both the discrete time geometric and Bernoulli TASEPs, we show that the distribution function converges to the one describing the KPZ fixed point.

The Variable Light Curve of GRB 030329: The Case for Refreshed Shocks

name: Piran, Tsvi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003

description: GRB 030329 is unique in many aspects. It has a very low redshift for a GRB, $z=0.1685$, and is therefore very bright and easy to monitor, making it the most well studied afterglow to date. It shows a supernova bump in the light curve, with a spectrum very similar to SN 1998bw, thus establishing with much better confidence the connection between GRBs and core collapse SNe. There are also two important physical characteristics that make this burst especially interesting, aside from its remarkably low redshift. First, unlike most GRB afterglows, the light curve of GRB 030329 shows a very large variability a few days after the burst. These fluctuations show a roughly constact amplitude, and a constant duration $Δt$, while $Δt/t$ decreases with time $t$. Second, its $γ$-ray energy output and X-ray luminosity at $10 $hr are a factor of $\sim 20$ and $\sim 30$, respectively, below the average value around which most GRBs are narrowly clustered. We consider several interpretations for the variability in the light curve, in the context of different physical mechanisms, and find that the most likely cause is refreshed shocks, i.e. slow shells that are ejected from the source and catch up with the afterglow shock at late times. In GRB 030329 this happens after the jet break, which implies an approximately constant duration $Δt$ of the bumps, in agreement with the observations. This interpretation also explains the anomalously low initial energy of this burst, as the total energy of the afterglow shock is increased by a factor of $\sim 10$ due to the refreshed shocks, thus bringing the total energy output close to the average value for all GRBs.

description: We present the results of 15 years of monitoring lensed quasars, which was conducted by the COSMOGRAIL programme at the Leonhard Euler 1.2m Swiss Telescope. The decade-long light curves of 23 lensed systems are presented for the first time. We complement our data set with other monitoring data available in the literature to measure the time delays in 18 systems, among which nine reach a relative precision better than 15% for at least one time delay. To achieve this, we developed an automated version of the curve-shifting toolbox PyCS to ensure robust estimation of the time delay in the presence of microlensing, while accounting for the errors due to the imperfect representation of microlensing. We also re-analysed the previously published time delays of RX J1131$-$1231 and HE 0435$-$1223, by adding six and two new seasons of monitoring, respectively, and confirming the previous time-delay measurements. When the time delay measurement is possible, we corrected the light curves of the lensed images from their time delay and present the difference curves to highlight the microlensing signal contained in the data. To date, this is the largest sample of decade-long lens monitoring data, which is useful to measure $H_0$ and the size of quasar accretion discs with microlensing as well as to study quasar variability.

description: The advent of immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in modern oncology has significantly improved survival in several cancer settings. A subgroup of women with breast cancer (BC) has immunogenic infiltration of lymphocytes with expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). These patients may potentially benefit from ICI targeting the programmed death 1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 signaling axis. The use of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) as predictive and prognostic biomarkers has been under intense examination. Emerging data suggest that TILs are associated with response to both cytotoxic treatments and immunotherapy, particularly for patients with triple-negative BC. In this review from The International Immuno-Oncology Biomarker Working Group, we discuss (a) the biological understanding of TILs, (b) their analytical and clinical validity and efforts toward the clinical utility in BC, and (c) the current status of PD-L1 and TIL testing across different continents, including experiences from low-to-middle-income countries, incorporating also the view of a patient advocate. This information will help set the stage for future approaches to optimize the understanding and clinical utilization of TIL analysis in patients with BC.

description: Biophilia is the phenomenon that human interaction with nature can increase their positive affect. In an ever-growing world of urbanization that is dominated by man-made structures, greenery and natural elements are slowly being erased from our visual canvas. The present study sought to discover whether adding plants to the floor of an urban building, specifically the CIRS building in UBC, can arouse the effects of biophilia and increase feelings of happiness and decrease feelings of sadness within the building’s patrons. Participants of the study were asked to fill out a Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) survey under the control condition, where no plants were introduced to the interior of the building, and the plant condition, where we introduced plants to a floor of the building. The results indicated that the introduction of plants into the CIRS building did little to nothing to increase their feelings of happiness or to decrease their feelings of sadness, a finding that is inconsistent with the biophilia phenomenon and to previous research that studied its effects.

description: Results from different sets of band calculations for undoped and doped HgBa$_2$CuO$_4$ show that small changes in localization can lead to very different ground states. The normal LDA results are compared with 'modified' LDA results, in which different linearization energies make the O-p band more localized. The ground states in the normal calculations are far from the anti-ferromagnetic ones, while nearly AFM states are found in the modified calculations. The proximity of an AFM state in the doped system leads to increased $λ_{sf}$, and the modified band structure has favorable conditions for spin-phonon coupling and superconductivity mediated by spin fluctuations.

description: Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts that the only stationary configuration of an isolated black hole is the Kerr spacetime, which has a unique multipolar structure and a spherical shape when non-spinning. This is in striking contrast to the case of other self-gravitating objects, which instead can in principle have arbitrary deformations even in the static case. Here we develop a general perturbative framework to construct stationary stars with small axisymmetric deformations, and study explicitly compact stars with an intrinsic quadrupole moment. The latter can be sustained, for instance, by crust stresses or strong magnetic fields. While our framework is general, we focus on quadrupolar deformations of neutron stars induced by an anisotropic crust, which continuously connect to spherical neutron stars in the isotropic limit. Deformed neutron stars might provide a more accurate description for stellar remnants formed in supernovae and in binary mergers, and can be used to improve constraints on the neutron-star equation of state through gravitational-wave detections and through the observation of low-mass X-ray binaries. We argue that, if the (dimensionless) intrinsic quadrupole moment is of a few percent or higher, the effect of the deformation is stronger than that of tidal interactions in coalescing neutron-star binaries, and might also significantly affect the electromagnetic signal from accreting neutron stars.

description: Carientothrips flavitibia (Moulton, 1968: 117) stat.rev.
(Figs 2, 8, 20, 35)
 Described originally in Bolothrips, from five females taken near Cairns in northern Queensland, also a male from Barrington Tops area in New South Wales, this species appears to live mainly in rainforest. It has been found widely in suitable rainforest areas of eastern Queensland near Brisbane and near Cairns, and a few specimens have also been studied from Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. It is closely related to mjobergi, the common species of dry sclerophyll forest, but has brightly bicoloured legs with the tibiae yellow, and the second maxillary palp with transverse sculpture lines. Moreover, the sculpture is more strongly developed, particularly on the head, and the pelta is rather wider. As noted above, a few individuals from Queensland, provisionally identified as alienatus but excluded from the type series of that species, have the mid and hind tibiae clear yellow and thus look very like flavitibia despite the eyes not being prolonged ventrally.
 Diagnosis. Macropterous or micropterous with fore wing lobe as long as thorax width; body uniformly brown, mid and hind tibiae and tarsi clear yellow in contrast to brown femora, antennal segment I–II brown, III yellow, IV–V yellow with apex gradually more strongly shaded, VI brown with pedicel yellow, VII–VIII brown; fore wings pale brown. Head longer than wide, projecting in front of eyes (Fig. 2); eyes with one ommatidium displaced to posterior on ventral surface (Fig. 8) (sometimes slightly displaced not far posteriorly); postocellar setae acute, arising posterior to hind ocelli; postocular setae long and slightly blunt; maxillary stylets parallel about half of head width apart, retracted to postocular setae; maxillary palp segment I about 3 times as long as wide, segment II slightly shorter than I with transverse sculpture lines (Fig. 20); pronotal am small slender and acute; aa, ml, epim blunt to weakly capitate, pa pointed; notopleural sutures complete; pelta median lobe elongate, narrowly connected to lateral wings (Fig. 35); tergite IX setae bluntly pointed, about 0.8 as long as tube; tube shorter than head. Male smaller than female; fore tarsus with stout tooth; large males with setae on head and pronotum longer and more pointed.

Enhanced solar anti-neutrino flux in random magnetic fields

description: We discuss the impact of the recent KamLAND constraint on the solar anti-neutrino flux on the analysis of solar neutrino data in the presence of Majorana neutrino transition magnetic moments and solar magnetic fields. We consider different stationary solar magnetic field models, both regular and random, highlighting the strong enhancement in the anti-neutrino production rates that characterize turbulent solar magnetic field models. Moreover, we show that for such magnetic fields inside the Sun, one can constrain the intrinsic neutrino magnetic moment down to the level of mu_nu lessthan few times 10^-12 x mu_B irrespective of details of the underlying turbulence model. This limit is more stringent than all current experimental sensitivities, and similar to the most stringent bounds obtained from stellar cooling. We also comment on the robustness of this limit and show that at most it might be weakened by one order of magnitude, under very unlikely circumstances.

description: I examine quantum mechanical Hamiltonians with partial supersymmetry, and explore two main applications. First, I analyze a theory with a logarithmic spectrum, and show how to use partial supersymmetry to reveal the underlying structure of this theory. This method reveals an intriguing equivalence between two formulations of this theory, one of which is one-dimensional, and the other of which is infinite-dimensional. Second, I demonstrate the use of partial supersymmetry as a tool to obtain the asymptotic energy levels in non-relativistic quantum mechanics in an exceptionally easy way. In the end, I discuss possible extensions of this work, including the possible connections between partial supersymmetry and renormalization group arguments.

description: Many individuals develop severe mechanical back problems via the development of musculoskeletal problems from sitting at a desk. University of British Columbia (UBC) has approximately 14,000 employees, and an overwhelming majority of these people are staff and faculty members. It is a common assumption that those who experience chronic pain tend to be less productive as its effects can transcend into cognitive interference. As proposed by exercise sport science experts from the University of Queensland, “even when adults meet physical activity guidelines, sitting for prolonged periods can compromise metabolic health” (Owen, Healy, Matthews & Dunstan, 2010). Considering the above, in conjunction with the UBC SEEDS Program, we explore the outcomes of both perceived productivity and health status amongst staff and faculty members. Currently, there are two locations on the UBC Vancouver campus that provide standing desks for staff and faculty; thus, we investigate our variables of interest via a within-subjects correlational design study in coordination with the UBC Centre of Interactive Research on Sustainability and the UBC First Nations House of Learning.

Year: 2023

description: Researchers are continually faced with the choice of alternative procedures in the application of survey methods. Even with the great strides of the past decade in the development of survey techniques, many decisions have to be made on the basis of intuition and opinion. In probability sample design, particularly, theory has been well developed but difficulties arise in translating a precise mathematical model into field procedures which, simultaneously, are economically feasible and can be rigorously executed.

description: We present a numerical weak-lensing analysis that is fully relativistic and non-perturbative for the scalar part of the gravitational potential and first-order in the vector part, frame dragging. Integrating the photon geodesics backwards from the observer to the emitters, we solve the Sachs optical equations and study in detail the weak-lensing convergence, ellipticity and rotation. For the first time, we apply such an analysis to a high-resolution relativistic N-body simulation, which consistently includes the leading-order corrections due to general relativity on both large and small scales. These are related to the question of gauge choice and to post-Newtonian corrections, respectively. We present the angular power spectra and one-point probability distribution functions for the weak-lensing variables, which we find are broadly in agreement with comparable Newtonian simulations. Our geometric approach, however, is more robust and flexible, and can therefore be applied consistently to non-standard cosmologies and modified theories of gravity.

description: Since the beginning of the rapid development of television as a commercial medium, an idea has grown and spread that a very few, if any, Negroes were employed in television in administrative or technical jobs. This opinion has some basis, in the fact that studies of the employment picture in other new industries have revealed that this has been true.One of the factors that gave credence to the idea, the racial shibboleths of the old South, can no longer be blamed entirely for this situation.
Specht Modules for Finite Reflection Groups

description: Over fields of characteristic zero, there are well known constructions of the irreducible representations, due to A Young, and of irreducible modules, called Specht modules, due to W Specht, for the symmetric groups $S_{n}$ which are based on elegant combinatorial concepts connected with Young tableaux etc.(see, e.g.{\bf [13]}). James {\bf [12]} extended these ideas to construct irreducible representations and modules over arbitrary field. Al-Aamily, Morris and Peel {\bf [1]} showed how this construction could be extended cover the Weyl groups of type $B_{n}$. In {\bf [14]} Morris described a possible extension of James' work for Weyl groups in general. Later, the present author and Morris {\bf [8]} give an alternative generalisation of James' work which is an extended improvement and extension of the original approach suggested by Morris. We now give a possible extension of James' work for finite reflection groups in general.
