Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: Measurements of the top quark-antiquark (t t-bar) spin correlations and the top quark polarization are presented for t t-bar pairs produced in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 inverse femtobarns collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The measurements are performed using events with two oppositely charged leptons (electrons or muons) and two or more jets, where at least one of the jets is identified as originating from a bottom quark. The spin correlations and polarization are measured from the angular distributions of the two selected leptons, both inclusively and differentially, with respect to the invariant mass, rapidity, and transverse momentum of the t t-bar system. The measurements are unfolded to the parton level and found to be in agreement with predictions of the standard model. A search for new physics in the form of anomalous top quark chromo moments is performed. No evidence of new physics is observed, and exclusion limits on the real part of the chromo-magnetic dipole moment and the imaginary part of the chromo-electric dipole moment are evaluated.

description: Using data from the ALFALFA Arecibo HI survey of galaxies and the Virgo cluster X-ray pressure profiles from XMM-Newton, we investigate the possibility that starless dark HI clumps, also known as "dark galaxies", are supported by external pressure in the surrounding intercluster medium. We find that the starless HI clump masses, velocity dispersions and positions allow these clumps to be in pressure equilibrium with the X-ray gas near the virial radius of the Virgo cluster. We predict the sizes of these clumps to range from 1-10 kpc, in agreement with the range of sizes found for spatially resolved HI starless clumps outside of Virgo. Based on the predicted HI surface density of the Virgo sources, as well as a sample of other similar resolved ALFALFA HI dark clumps with follow up optical/radio observations, we predict that most of the HI dark clumps are on the cusp of forming stars. These HI sources therefore mark the transition between starless HI clouds and dwarf galaxies with stars.

description: We explore the spectra and localization properties of the N-site banded one-dimensional non-Hermitian random matrices that arise naturally in sparse neural networks. Approximately equal numbers of random excitatory and inhibitory connections lead to spatially localized eigenfunctions, and an intricate eigenvalue spectrum in the complex plane that controls the spontaneous activity and induced response. A finite fraction of the eigenvalues condense onto the real or imaginary axes. For large N, the spectrum has remarkable symmetries not only with respect to reflections across the real and imaginary axes, but also with respect to 90 degree rotations, with an unusual anisotropic divergence in the localization length near the origin. When chains with periodic boundary conditions become directed, with a systematic directional bias superimposed on the randomness, a hole centered on the origin opens up in the density-of-states in the complex plane. All states are extended on the rim of this hole, while the localized eigenvalues outside the hole are unchanged. The bias dependent shape of this hole tracks the bias independent contours of constant localization length. We treat the large-N limit by a combination of direct numerical diagonalization and using transfer matrices, an approach that allows us to exploit an electrostatic analogy connecting the "charges" embodied in the eigenvalue distribution with the contours of constant localization length. We show that similar results are obtained for more realistic neural networks that obey "Dale's Law" (each site is purely excitatory or inhibitory), and conclude with perturbation theory results that describe the limit of large bias g, when all states are extended. Related problems arise in random ecological networks and in chains of artificial cells with randomly coupled gene expression patterns.

description: We study the shear viscosity in an effective hydrodynamic theory and holographic model where the translational symmetry is broken by massless scalar fields. We identify the shear viscosity, $η$, from the coefficient of the shear tensor in the modified constitutive relation, constructed from thermodynamic quantities, fluid velocity and the scalar fields, which break the translational symmetry explicitly. Our construction of constitutive relation is inspired by those derived from the fluid/gravity correspondence in the weakly disordered limit $m/T \ll 1$. We show that the shear viscosity from the constitutive relation deviates from the one obtained from the usual expression, $η^\star = -\lim_{ω\to 0}(1/ω) \text{Im} G^{R}_{T^{xy}T^{xy}}(ω,k=0)$, even at the leading order in disorder strength. In a simple holographic model with broken translational symmetry, we show that both $η/s$ and $η^\star/s$ violate the bound of viscosity-entropy ratio for arbitrary disorder strength.

description: We analyse the planetary nebulae (PNe) population of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), based on evolutionary models of stars with metallicities in the range $10^{-3} \leq Z \leq 4\times 10^{-3}$ and mass $0.9 M\odot < M < 8M\odot$, evolved through the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase. The models used account for dust formation in the circumstellar envelope. To characterise the PNe sample of the SMC, we compare the observed abundances of the various species with the final chemical composition of the AGB models: this study allows us to identify the progenitors of the PNe observed, in terms of mass and chemical composition. According to our interpretation, most of the PNe descend from low-mass ($M < 2 M\odot$) stars, which become carbon rich, after experiencing repeated third dredge-up episodes, during the AGB phase. A fraction of the PNe showing the signature of advanced CNO processing are interpreted as the progeny of massive AGB stars, with mass above $\sim 6 M\odot$, undergoing strong hot bottom burning. The differences with the chemical composition of the PNe population of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is explained on the basis of the diverse star formation history and age-metallicity relation of the two galaxies. The implications of the present study for some still highly debated points regarding the AGB evolution are also commented.

description: Excerpts from the report: The Malheur Lake Drainage Basin is located in southeastern Oregon. It is bounded by the Goose and Summer Lakes Basin and the Deschutes River Basin on the west, by the John Day River Basin on the north, by the Malheur River Basin and the Owyhee River Basin on the east, and the state of Nevada on the south. The total area is 6,377,600 acres or about 10.4 percent of the state of Oregon. It contains 80.2 percent of Harney County, 10.8 percent of Lake County, 10.0 percent of Grant County, 4.9 percent of Malheur County, and 0.6 percent of Crook County. For the purpose of this report, the basin was divided into four sub-basins--Silvies, Donner und Blitzen, Silver Creek, and Alvord-Catlow. Approximately 73 percent of the land area of the Malheur Lake Drainage Basin is owned and managed by the U. S. Government. About 4 percent is owned by state, county, and municipal governments. The remaining 23 percent is privately owned. This report prepared by the USDA River Basin Survey Staff presents information concerning the water and related land resources of the Malheur Lake Drainage Basin. Its purpose is (1) to provide information of past and present uses of water and related land resources; (2) to supply production data from the use of these resources; (3) to assess the magnitude of water-related problems such as erosion, flooding, and drainage; (4) to indicate probable directions of future use of water and land for agriculture and forestry in comparison to competing uses; and (5) to outline a general program for water and land resource management as a background for future detailed study and planning.

Let Each Invoke the God he Worships: A Muslim Travelers Account of 12th-century  Sicily
Creators: name: Nicholas, Pacetti
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description:
This project studies the religiously and ethnically diverse communities of twelfth-century Sicily. This society was noteworthy for the high degree of religious and cultural accommodation relative to other Christian polities of that era. The thesis focuses on a particular primary source: The Travels of Ibn Jubayr. The recorded observations of Ibn Jubayr (1145-1217 CE), a scholar and poet from Almohad Granada who was shipwrecked on Sicily on his way back from a pilgrimage to Mecca, are contextualized within his own cultural perspective and experience. The thesis makes comparative studies of other societies throughout the region through other sources. Using these sources, it engages with the ongoing historiographical debate which interprets events during this period as being one of cultural interchange and development against the classical clash of civilizations narrative. It also argues that contemporary religious movements were an important part of the political landscape.

Notions of Blackness: English Ideas Perpetuated Within A Colonial Empire
Creators: name: Peyton, Hankins
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description:
The purpose of this work is to investigate the degree to which English racial prejudices against people of African descent existed prior to Englands substantial involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. I also analyze the degree to which the slave trade served as a conduit of transformation for ideas of blackness and difference already present within English culture as Englands imperial ambitions evolved throughout the seventeenth century. The importance of this topic stems from the presence of a historical debate as to whether or not racism was the result of transatlantic slavery or was present prior. Much has been said about the late seventeenth century and its relationship to the development of English racial thought. However, further attention needs to be paid to periods prior and other possible sources of influence that may have also contributed to race becoming a subcategory of difference.
Magneto-hydrodynamical Numerical simulation of wind production from black hole hot accretion flows at very large radii

description: Numerical simulations of black hole hot accretion flows have shown the existence of strong wind. Those works focus only on the region close to black hole thus it is unknown whether or where the wind production stops at large radii. To address this question, Bu et al. (2016) have performed hydrodynamic (HD) simulations by taking into account the gravitational potential of both the black hole and the nuclear star clusters. The latter is assumed to be $\propto σ^2 \ln(r)$, with $σ$ being the velocity dispersion of stars and $r$ be the distance from the center of the galaxy. It was found that when the gravity is dominated by nuclear stars, i.e., outside of radius $R_A\equiv GM_{\rm BH}/σ^2$, winds can no longer be produced. That work, however, neglects the magnetic field, which is believed to play a crucial dynamical role in the accretion and thus must be taken into account. In this paper, we revisit this problem by performing magneto-hydrodynamical (MHD) simulations. We confirm the result of Bu et al. (2016), namely wind can't be produced at the region of $R>R_A$. Our result, combined with the results of Yuan et al. (2015), indicates that the formula describing the mass flux of wind $\dot{M}_{\rm wind}=\dot{M}_{\rm BH}(r/20r_s)$ can only be applied to the region where the black hole potential is dominant. Here $\dot{M}_{\rm BH}$ is the mass accretion rate at the black hole horizon and the value of $R_A$ is similar to the Bondi radius.

description: Strong and ultra-strong light-matter coupling are remarkable phenomena of quantum electrodynamics occurring when the interaction between a matter excitation and the electromagnetic field cannot be described by usual perturbation theory. This is generally achieved by coupling an excitation with large oscillator strength to the confined electromagnetic mode of an optical microcavity. In this work we demonstrate that strong/ultra-strong coupling can also take place in the absence of optical confinement. We have studied the non-perturbative spontaneous emission of collective excitations in a dense two-dimensional electron gas that superradiantly decays into free space. By using a quantum model based on the input-output formalism, we have derived the linear optical properties of the coupled system and demonstrated that its eigenstates are mixed light-matter particles, like in any system displaying strong or ultra-strong light-matter interaction. Moreover, we have shown that in the ultra-strong coupling regime, i.e. when the radiative broadening is comparable to the matter excitation energy, the commonly used rotating-wave and Markov approximations yield unphysical results. Finally, the input-output formalism has allowed us to prove that Kirchhoff's law, describing thermal emission properties, applies to our system in all the light-matter coupling regimes considered in this work.
Women of the West: Voices from the Home Front of the Crusades
Creators: name: Samantha, Harvel
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description:
This thesis explores the experiences of women in Western Europe, especially France, during the Crusades of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Through an analysis of primary sources including crusade literature, letters, sculpture, and romantic chansons, this work seeks to illuminate the various ways that women utilized their voices in a period that held strong emphasis on the virtues of masculinity. In this thesis I argue that the campaigns of the Crusades created specific circumstances in Western Europe that allowed women to stretch the boundaries of medieval societys gender constructs while remaining somewhat within their confines. Additionally, I argue that though women were barred from official participation in the Crusades, they found their own ways of contributing to the crusading effort from home.

description: We investigate the structural properties of the underlying hosts of 34 blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies with deep near-infrared (NIR) photometry. The BCD sample is selected from the Cosmic Assembly Near-IR Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey in the Great observatories origins Deep Survey North and South fields. We extract the surface brightness profile (SBP) in the optical F 435W and NIR F 160W bands. The SBPs of BCDs in the H band reach 26 mag arcsec^-2 at the 3σlevel, which is so far the deepest NIR imaging of BCDs. Then we fit the SBPs with one- and two- component Sersic models. About half of the BCDs favour the two-component model which significantly improves the fit quality. The effective radii of the underlying hosts of BCDs in the B band are smaller than those of early-type dwarfs (dEs) and dwarf irregulars at a fixed luminosity. This discrepancy is similar to findings in many previous works. However, the difference in structural parameters between BCDs and other dwarf galaxies seems to be less significant in the H band. Furthermore, we find a remarkable agreement between the underlying hosts of BCDs and dEs. All dwarf galaxies seem to follow a similar luminosity-radius relationship which suggests a unified structural evolution for dwarf galaxies. We conclude that a possible evolution track from BCDs to dEs cannot be ruled out, with no significant change of structure needed in the evolutionary scenario.

In this work, we combine phonetic knowledge, such as vowels, with enhanced acoustic features to build an improved accent classification system. The classifier is based on Gaussian Mixture Model-Universal Background Model (GMM-UBM), with normalized Perceptual Linear Predictive (PLP) features. The features are further optimized by Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and Hetroscedastic Linear Discriminant Analysis (HLDA). Using 7 major types of accented speech from the Foreign Accented English (FAE) corpus, the system achieves classification accuracy 54% with input test data as short as 20 seconds, which is competitive to the state of the art in this field.

title: Sampling the past to understand evolution
Creators: name: Gardner, Jacob D.
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2025

description: Computers have fundamentally advanced all fields of biology over the past 50 years. Within evolutionary biology, for example, researchers can now leverage computational approaches to detect macroevolutionary patterns with unprecedented rigour and objectivity using large phylogenies of species. But evolution is a historical process, and macroevolutionary hypotheses demand direct evidence from the deep past. The work presented in this thesis applies the latest phylogenetic comparative methods to fossil and simulated datasets and highlights how fossils from deep time inform our understanding of evolution. Sampling is central to all science, including comparative analyses, and can shape how we detect patterns and processes. Chapter 1 shows that a large effective (evolutionary) sample size of independent changes is crucial for accurately inferring rates of evolution and differentiating support among evolutionary hypotheses. Chapter 2 shows how disproportionate geo�palaeontological sampling affects inferences of dispersal rates and ancestral geographic locations. I offer an innovative approach for assessing geographic sampling biases in the fossil record. The fossil record is also a window into diverse ecosystems and a wide range of global conditions. It thus offers unique and independent data sources for testing evolutionary hypotheses. Chapter 3 describes the utility of fossils for assessing general ecological principles based on extant taxa and modern climates. The study shows that Bergmann's rule does not extend to Mesozoic dinosaurs and mammals and that their poleward dispersal did not drive increases in body size. Chapter 4 describes an approach for directly quantifying change in functional equations along phylogenetic branches and applies it to the locomotor evolution of dinosaurs. The study reveals a close connection between the rate of locomotor evolution and speciation. Together, these works highlight the utility of the fossil record for informing evolutionary models and our understanding of evolution.

the article distinguishes such intermunicipal properties as regional, interregional, all-Russian, and international. In addition to that, the Surgut budget balance is assessed. The balanced budget has decreased in 2019‒
2021 according to the study’s findings. Gratuitous receipts and additional standard contributions from tax
revenues have a financial impact on the local budget. A model for municipal cooperation is developed. The
possibilities for increasing the local budget balance through such cooperation are analyzed. Intermunicipal
cooperation allows reducing municipality’s expenditures, as shown on the example of creating an intermunicipal limited liability business company in the field of funeral services. Thus, resulting in improving of
the budgets balance.

description: An abundance analysis is reported of 58 K giants identified by Famaey et al. (2005) as highly probable members of the Hercules stream selected from stars north of the celestial equator in the Hipparcos catalogue. The giants have compositions spanning the interval [Fe/H] from $-$0.17 to $+$0.42 with a mean value of $+$0.15 and relative elemental abundances [El/Fe] representative of the Galactic thin disc. Selection effects may have biassed the selection from the Hipparcos catalogue against the selection of metal-poor stars. Our reconsideration of the recent extensive survey of FG dwarfs which included metal-poor stars (Bensby et al. 2014) provides a [Fe/H] distribution for the Hercules stream which is similar to that from the 58 giants. It appears that the stream is dominated by metal-rich stars from the thin disc. Suggestions in the literature that the stream includes metal-poor stars from the thick disc are discussed.
Concentration of research funding leads to decreasing marginal returns

description: In most countries, basic research is supported by research councils that select, after peer review, the individuals or teams that are to receive funding. Unfortunately, the number of grants these research councils can allocate is not infinite and, in most cases, a minority of the researchers receive the majority of the funds. However, evidence as to whether this is an optimal way of distributing available funds is mixed. The purpose of this study is to measure the relation between the amount of funding provided to 12,720 researchers in Quebec over a fifteen year period (1998-2012) and their scientific output and impact from 2000 to 2013. Our results show that both in terms of the quantity of papers produced and of their scientific impact, the concentration of research funding in the hands of a so-called "elite" of researchers generally produces diminishing marginal returns. Also, we find that the most funded researchers do not stand out in terms of output and scientific impact.

Using Intermediate-Luminosity Optical Transients (ILOTs) to reveal extended extra-solar Kuiper belt objects

description: We suggest that in the rare case of an Intermediate-Luminosity Optical Transient (ILOTs) event, evaporation of extra-solar Kuiper belt objects (ExtraKBOs) at distances of d ~ 500 - 10000AU from the ILOT can be detected. If the ILOT lasts for 1 month to a few years, enough dust might be ejected from the ExtraKBOs for the IR emission to be detected. Because of the large distance of the ExtraKBOs, tens of years will pass before the ILOT wind disperses the dust. We suggest that after an ILOT outburst there is a period of months to several years during which IR excess emission might hint at the existence of a Kuiper belt analog (ExtraK-Belt).

description: Рассматривается финансовый аспект формирования нового этапа развития мирового
хозяйства, отличающегося от традиционного процесса подходами и инструментами. Проводится анализ
существующих способов, определяющих ключевые признаки новой экономики. Дается оценка истории
и тенденциям развития теоретических разработок анализируемого вопроса. Обосновывается альтернативный взгляд на современные аспекты развития образовательной среды, как вузовской, так и послевузовской. Анализируются и добавляются гипотезы дальнейшего развития человека нового формата: с точки зрения его предпочтений, знаний, умений и способа реализации себя. Определяется роль финансовой
составляющей в эпоху виртуализации и цифровизации экономических процессов. Финансовый аспект
вопроса рассматривается через появление виртуальных денежных средств, популяризацию их использования в национальных и международных расчетах с одновременным уменьшением роли государственного вмешательства в эти процессы. Особо отмечается появление нового продукта «виртуального мира»

description: The article deals with the financial aspect of establishing a new stage of development in the
global economy, which applies approaches and tools that differ from the traditional process. Existing methods that determine the key features of a new economy are analyzed. The history of and trends in developing
theoretical materials on the issue are assessed. An alternative view on the modern aspects of the development
of both the university and post-university educational environment is substantiated. The hypotheses of a person’s further evolution in terms of preferences, knowledge, skills, and self-realization are analyzed and added. The role of the financial component in the era of virtualization and digitalization of economic processes
is determined. The financial aspect of the issue is considered through the emergence of various virtual funds,
the popularization of their use in national and international settlements, while reducing the role of government intervention in these processes. The focus is on the emergence of a new “virtual world” product G`, which is facilitated by the new monetary unit M``.

description:
In 1985, Colombia faced national tragedy as the Palace of Justice began to burn deep into the night of November 6th. With numerous people dead and a nation in the midst of crisis, the Siege of the Palace of Justice showcased the challenges faced by a nation wrapped in conflict. Colombia is an example of one nation that was not focused on the international dynamics of the Cold War. Colombia faced its own perils domestically following the events of World War II. Due to political infighting, guerilla movements became the primary vehicle for political expression from the 1960s through the 1980s in Colombia that echoed warring political ideologies of the Cold War. Much of the political violence could have been avoided, but the Colombian government was unable to operate proactively because of the political instability of the mid to late 20th century.
