description: One of the popular measures of central tendency that provides better representation and interesting insights of the data compared to the other measures like mean and median is the metric mode. If the analytical form of the density function is known, mode is an argument of the maximum value of the density function and one can apply the optimization techniques to find mode. In many of the practical applications, the analytical form of the density is not known and only the samples from the distribution are available. Most of the techniques proposed in the literature for estimating the mode from the samples assume that all the samples are available beforehand. Moreover, some of the techniques employ computationally expensive operations like sorting. In this work we provide a computationally effective, on-line iterative algorithm that estimates the mode of a unimodal smooth density given only the samples generated from the density. Asymptotic convergence of the proposed algorithm using an ordinary differential equation (ODE) based analysis is provided. We also prove the stability of estimates by utilizing the concept of regularization. Experimental results further demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

description: The results of a search for W boson pair production in pbar-p collisions at sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV with subsequent decay to emu, ee, and mumu channels are presented. Five candidate events are observed with an expected background of 3.1+-0.4 events for an integrated luminosity of approximately 97 pb^{-1}. Limits on the anomalous couplings are obtained from a maximum likelihood fit of the E_T spectra of the leptons in the candidate events. Assuming identical WWgamma and WWZ couplings, the 95 % C.L. limits are -0.62

description: The paper describes part of an in-service training programme organized at the Centre for the Greek Language for two groups of Greek language teachers temporarily attached to modern Greek departments at various foreign univer­sities. The training was intended to assist the teachers in making the optimum use of ICT in teaching Greek as a foreign language. Part of the training involved the joint creation of an internet community which will provide a practical technological literacy environment for the teachers, as well as a learning com­munity and reciprocal support network. The paper discusses the rationale underlying this part of the training programme, and describes the way in which the teachers were involved in the enterprise and their contribution to the initial planning of the internet environment.

description: Jet shape measurements are strongly suggested to explore the microscopic evolution mechanism of parton-medium interaction in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In this paper, jet shape modifications are quantified by fragmentation function $F(z)$, relative momentum $p_{T}^{rel}$, density of charged particles $ρ(r)$, jet angularity $girth$, jet momentum dispersion $p_{T}^{Disp}$ and $LeSub$ for proton-proton collisions at $900GeV$, $5.02TeV$, $7TeV$ and $13TeV$, as well as for lead-lead collisions at $2.76TeV$ and $5.02TeV$. A differential jet shape parameters $D_{girth}$ is proposed and studied at smaller-radius jet $r<0.3$. The results indicate that medium effect is dominant for jet shape modifications, which is less dependent on center of mass energy. The jet fragmentation is enhanced significantly at very low $z<0.02$ and fragmented jet constituents are spread to larger jet-radius linearly for $p_{T}^{rel}<1$. The waveform attenuate phenomena is observed in $p_{T}^{rel}$, $girth$ and $D_{girth}$ distributions. The comparison results on $D_{girth}$ from $pp$ to $Pb+Pb$ where the wave-like distribution in $pp$ collision is ahead of $Pb+Pb$ collisions in small jet-radius intervals, is interesting to hint the medium effect.

Hyperinflation generalised: from its attractor mechanism to its tension with the `swampland conjectures'

description: In negatively curved field spaces, inflation can be realised even in steep potentials. Hyperinflation invokes the `centrifugal force' of a field orbiting the hyperbolic plane to sustain inflation. We generalise hyperinflation by showing that it can be realised in models with any number of fields ($N_f\geq2$), and in broad classes of potentials that, in particular, don't need to be rotationally symmetric. For example, hyperinflation can follow a period of radial slow-roll inflation that undergoes geometric destabilisation, yet this inflationary phase is not identical to the recently proposed scenario of `side-tracked inflation'. We furthermore provide a detailed proof of the attractor mechanism of (the original and generalised) hyperinflation, and provide a novel set of characteristic, explicit models. We close by discussing the compatibility of hyperinflation with observations and the recently much discussed `swampland conjectures'. Observationally viable models can be realised that satisfy either the `de Sitter conjecture' ($V'/V\gtrsim 1$) or the `distance conjecture' ($Δϕ\lesssim 1$), but satisfying both simultaneously brings hyperinflation in some tension with successful reheating after inflation. However, hyperinflation can get much closer to satisfying all of these criteria than standard slow-roll inflation. Furthermore, while the original model is in stark tension with the weak gravity conjecture, generalisations can circumvent this issue.

Subjects: vocabulary teaching; pronunciation teaching; mental lexicon; categorisation; learning strategies

description: This paper discusses a new method for the combined teaching of vocabulary and pronunciation to learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). While there is commonly strong emphasis on the teaching of vocabulary, pronunciation teaching is usually neglected in the EFL classroom. This paper first presents the results of a national survey regarding the teaching of vocabulary and pronun­ciation in the Greek EFL context. It then discusses selected principles chara­cterising L1 and L2 vocabulary acquisition and elaborates on the nature of lexi­cal units which combine meaning and form. It proceeds by providing a detailed account of the new method proposed and finally it elaborates on its potential advantages by expounding its major principles.

Use of conceptual metaphors: a strategy for the guessing of an idiom's meaning?

Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2005
Subjects: L2 idiom instruction; L2 idiom learning problems; Cognitive Semantics; Conceptual Metaphor

description: In the study presented here, Greek adult advanced-level learners of English guess at the meaning of unknown English idioms and describe the train of thought that lead them to an idiom's interpretation immediately after supplying an interpretation for it. Results indicate limited use of Conceptual Metaphors as a strategy for the guessing of an idiom's meaning, thus contradicting previous claims of no such use. This study also tests whether meaning guessing based of idiom-inherent features occurs more often when idioms are presented out of context than when in context. This hypothesis is supported for all such strategies except that the one utilising Conceptual Metaphor knowledge, possibly because of its rare occurrence in both context conditions. Some caveats about the reli­ability of the data are expressed.

description: Objective: Operating speed is a critical indicator to evaluate consistency of road alignment and safety. Although extensive studies have been conducted on developing operating speed models, few researchers have considered the interactive influence of horizontal and vertical alignment in 3D space. The purpose of this study is to develop a speed model based on 3D alignment in Euclidean space rather than traditional horizontal and vertical alignment. Methods: According to the curve theory of differential geometry, a novel method to estimate operating speed is proposed in our study using 3D space curvature instead of traditional horizontal or vertical parameters to describe the spatial geometric properties for a freeway alignment. Speeds of 54 different alignment segments are observed to develop the speed model. Several observing sites of each segment are selected beforehand, and the speeds of more than 300 vehicles in each site are observed. Space curvature is used as an important index to estimate operating speed. Results: The findings of this study indicated that both horizontal alignment and vertical alignment contribute to space curvature. Space curvature mainly affects direction control operating performance. However, vehicles overcome the effects of gravity along the vertical alignment in the z direction. Results indicate that operating speed exponentially declines with space curvature and that quadratic parabola decline with vertical grade. Conclusions: It can be concluded that there is a clear correlation between velocity and spatial curvature, which is proved by variance analysis. The estimation results of the speed models are reliable as tested using a real engineering example. The study would provide a scientific basis for safety evaluation of freeway alignment.

description: We review and extend the recently proposed model of combinatorial quantum gravity. Contrary to previous discrete approaches, this model is defined on (regular) random graphs and is driven by a purely combinatorial version of Ricci curvature, the Ollivier curvature, defined on generic metric spaces equipped with a Markov chain. It dispenses thus of notions such as simplicial complexes and Regge calculus and is ideally suited to extend quantum gravity to combinatorial structures which have a priori nothing to do with geometry. Indeed, our results show that geometry and general relativity emerge from random structures in a second-order phase transition due to the condensation of cycles on random graphs, a critical point that defines quantum gravity non-perturbatively according to asymptotic safety. In combinatorial quantum gravity the entropy area law emerges naturally as a consequence of infinite-dimensional critical behaviour on networks rather than on lattices. We propose thus that the entropy area law is a signature of the random graph nature of space-(time) on the smallest scales.

Subjects: methodology; EIL; principles of instructional design

description: As part of a global community, the status of the English language has been redefined and educators are called to re-examine the principles that guide foreign language teaching methodology. Having experienced a number of tran­sitions in language teaching (ELT) methodology, English language studies have entered the post-method period. In view of the demands of teaching English as an International Language (EIL), the aim of this paper is to challenge the appli­cation of a single methodology to multiple contexts and to consider the princi­ples of instructional design that seem to underlie effective education.

Constraining the CKM angle $γ$ and penguin contributions through combined $B \to πK$ branching ratios

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Motivated by recent CLEO measurements of $B\toπK$ modes, we investigate their implications for the CKM angle $γ$ and a consistent description of these decays within the Standard Model. Interestingly it turns out that already the measurement of the combined branching ratios $B^\pm\toπ^\pm K$ and $B_d\toπ^\mp K^\pm$ allows to derive stringent constraints on $γ$ which are complementary to the presently allowed range for that angle. This range, arising from the usual fits of the unitarity triangle, is typically symmetric around $γ= 90^\circ$, while our method can in principle exclude a range of this kind. Consistency within the Standard Model implies furthermore bounds on the ratio $r\equiv|T'|/|\tilde P|$ of the current-current and penguin operator contributions to $B_d\toπ^\mp K^\pm$, and upper limits for the CP-violating asymmetry arising in that decay. Commonly accepted means to estimate $r$ yield values at the edge of compatibility with the present CLEO measurements.

Nonlinearly realized conformal invariance in scale invariant field theories

description: Implications are explored of promoting non-conformal scale-invariant theories to conformal theories by nonlinearly realizing the missing symmetry. Properties of the associated Nambu-Goldstone mode imply that conformal invariance cannot be spontaneously broken to scale invariance in unitary theories and that, as well known, scale invariant unitary theories in two dimensions are also conformal. The promoted theories have only conformal primaries and no descendants. The (non-)decoupling of the Nambu-Goldstone mode is explicitly shown in examples of scale invariant theories that are actually (not) conformal.

description: There are currently two philosophies for building grammars and parsers -- Statistically induced grammars and Wide-coverage grammars. One way to combine the strengths of both approaches is to have a wide-coverage grammar with a heuristic component which is domain independent but whose contribution is tuned to particular domains. In this paper, we discuss a three-stage approach to disambiguation in the context of a lexicalized grammar, using a variety of domain independent heuristic techniques. We present a training algorithm which uses hand-bracketed treebank parses to set the weights of these heuristics. We compare the performance of our grammar against the performance of the IBM statistical grammar, using both untrained and trained weights for the heuristics.

description: A finite non-commutative geometry consists of a fuzzy space together with a Dirac operator satisfying the axioms of a real spectral triple. This paper addreses the question of how to extract information about these geometries from the spectrum of the Dirac operator. Since the Dirac operator is a finite-dimensional matrix, the usual asymptotics of the eigenvalues makes no sense and is replaced by measurements of the spectrum at a finite energy scale. The spectral dimension of the square of the Dirac operator is improved to provide a new spectral measure of the dimension of a space called the spectral variance. Similarly, the volume of a space can be computed from the spectrum once the dimension is known. Two methods of doing this are investigated: the well-known Dixmier trace and a recent improvement due to Abel Stern. Finally, the distance between two geometries is investigated by comparing the spectral zeta functions using the method of Cornelissen and Kontogeorgis. All of these techniques are tested on the explicit examples of the fuzzy spheres and fuzzy tori, which can be regarded as approximations of the usual Riemannian sphere and flat tori. Then they are applied to characterise some random fuzzy spaces using data generated by a Monte Carlo simulation.

description: Given a smooth hermitean vector bundle $V$ of fiber $\mathbb{C}^N$ over a compact Riemannian manifold and $\nabla$ a covariant derivative on $V$, let $P = -(\lvert g \rvert^{-1/2} \nabla_μ\lvert g \rvert^{1/2} g^{μν} u \nabla_ν+ p^μ\nabla_μ+q)$ be a nonminimal Laplace type operator acting on smooth sections of $V$ where $u,\,p^ν,\,q$ are $M_N(\mathbb{C})$-valued functions with $u$ positive and invertible. For any $a \in Γ(\text{End}(V))$, we consider the asymptotics $\text{Tr} \,a \,e^{-tP} \sim_{t \downarrow 0} \,\sum_{r=0}^\infty a_r(a, P)\,t^{(r-d)/2}$ where the coefficients $a_r(a, P)$ can be written as an integral of the functions $a_r(a, P)(x) = \text{tr}\,[a(x) \,\mathcal{R}_r(x)]$. This paper revisits the previous computation of $\mathcal{R}_2$ by the authors and is mainly devoted to a computation of $\mathcal{R}_4$. The results are presented with $u$-dependent operators which are universal (\textsl{i.e.} $P$-independent) and which act on tensor products of $u$, $p^μ$, $q$ and their derivatives via (also universal) spectral functions which are fully described.

description: Auger recombination (AR) being electron-hole annihilation with energy-momentum transfer to another carrier is believed to speed up in materials with small band gap. We theoretically show that this rule is violated in gapless three-dimensional materials with ultra-relativistic electron-hole dispersion, Weyl semimetals (WSM). Namely, AR is prohibited by energy-momentum conservation laws in prototypical WSM with a single Weyl node, even in the presence of anisotropy and tilt. In real multi-node WSM, the geometric dissimilarity of nodal dispersions enables weak inter-node AR, which is further suppressed by strong screening due to large number of nodes. While partial AR rates between the nodes of the same node group are mutually equal, the inter-group processes are non-reciprocal, so that one of groups is geometrically protected from AR. Our calculations show that geometrical protection can help prolonging AR lifetime by the two orders of magnitude, up to the level of nanoseconds.

Enhanced Di-Higgs Production in the Two Higgs Doublet Model

description: We show that the rate for di-Higgs production at the LHC can be enhanced by a factor as large as 25 compared to the Standard Model value in the two Higgs doublet model while being consistent with the known properties of the observed Higgs boson $h$. There are correlated modifications in $t\overline{t}h$ and resonant $Zh$ production rates, which can serve as tests of this model. Our framework treats both Higgs doublets on equal footing, each with comparable Yukawa couplings to fermions. The Cheng-Sher ansatz for multi-Higgs doublet model is shown to be strongly disfavored by current experiments. We propose a new ansatz for the Yukawa couplings of the Higgs doublets $Φ_a$ is proposed, where $Y_{ij}^{(a)} = C_{ij}^{(a)}\cdot {\rm min}\{m_i, \, m_j\}/v$, with $C_{ij}^{(a)}$ being order one coefficients, $m_i$ the mass of fermion $i$ and $v$ the electroweak vacuum expectation value. Such a pattern of couplings can explain the observed features of fermion masses and mixings and satisfies all flavor violation constraints arising from the exchange of neutral Higgs bosons. The rate for $μ\rightarrow e γ$ decay and new contributions to CP violation in $B_s-\overline{B}_s$ mixing are predicted to be close to the experimental limits.

description: We show that on a two-dimensional compact nontrapping Riemannian manifold with strictly convex boundary, a piecewise constant function can be recovered from its integrals over geodesics. We adapt the injectivity proof which uses variations through geodesics to recover the function and we improve this result when the manifold is simple and the function is constant on tiles with geodesic edges, showing that the Jacobi fields of these variations are sufficient. We give also explicit formulas for the values near the boundary. We finally study the stability of the reconstruction method.

Ground State and Spin Glass Phase of the Large N Infinite Range Spin Glass Via Supersymmetry

description: The large N infinite range spin glass is considered, in particular the number of spin components k needed to form the ground state and the sample-to-sample fluctuations in the Lagrange multiplier field on each site. The physical significance of k for the correlation functions is discussed. The difference between the large N and spherical spin glass is emphasized; a slight difference between the average Lagrange multiplier of the large N and spherical spin glasses is derived, leading to a slight increase in the energy of the ground state compared to the naive expectation. Further, there is a change in the low energy density of excitations in the large N system. A form of level repulsion, similar to that found in random matrix theory, is found to exist in this system, surviving interactions. Even though the system is an interacting one, a supersymmetric formalism is developed to deal with the problem of averaging over disorder.

description: We present grazing incidence reflectivity measurements in the far infrared region at temperatures above and below Tc for a series of thallium (Tl2Ba2CuO6, Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8) and bismuth (Bi2Sr2CuO6, Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8, and Bi(2-x)Pb(x)Sr2CaCu2O8) based cuprate superconductors. From the spectra, which are dominated by the c-axis phonons, longitudinal frequencies (LO) are directly obtained. The reflectivity curves are well fitted by a series of Lorentz oscillators. In this way the transverse (TO) phonon frequencies were accurately determined. On the basis of the comparative study of the Bi and Tl based cuprates with different number of CuO2 layers per unit cell, we suggest modifications of the assignment of the main oxygen modes. We compare the LO frequencies in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 and Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 obtained from intrinsic Josephson junction characteristics with our measurements, and explain the discrepancy in LO frequencies obtained by the two different methods.
