Electric-Magnetic Dualities in Non-Abelian and Non-Commutative Gauge
  Theories

Electric-magnetic dualities are equivalence between strong and weak coupling
constants. A standard example is the exchange of electric and magnetic fields
in an abelian gauge theory. We show three methods to perform electric-magnetic
dualities in the case of the non-commutative $U(1)$ gauge theory. The first
method is to use covariant field strengths to be the electric and magnetic
fields. We find an invariant form of an equation of motion after performing the
electric-magnetic duality. The second method is to use the Seiberg-Witten map
to rewrite the non-commutative $U(1)$ gauge theory in terms of abelian field
strength. The third method is to use the large Neveu Schwarz-Neveu Schwarz
(NS-NS) background limit (non-commutativity parameter only has one degree of
freedom) to consider the non-commutative $U(1)$ gauge theory or D3-brane. In
this limit, we introduce or dualize a new one-form gauge potential to get a
D3-brane in a large Ramond-Ramond (R-R) background via field redefinition. We
also use perturbation to study the equivalence between two D3-brane theories.
Comparison of these methods in the non-commutative $U(1)$ gauge theory gives
different physical implications. The comparison reflects the differences
between the non-abelian and non-commutative gauge theories in the
electric-magnetic dualities. For a complete study, we also extend our studies
to the simplest abelian and non-abelian $p$-form gauge theories, and a
non-commutative theory with the non-abelian structure.Comment: 55 pages, minor changes, references adde
Characterisation of nanoparticle emissions and exposure at traffic intersections through fast-response mobile and sequential measurements

© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. Quantification of disproportionate contribution made by signalised traffic intersections (TIs) to overall daily commuting exposure is important but barely known. We carried out mobile measurements in a car for size-resolved particle number concentrations (PNCs) in the 5-560 nm range under five different ventilation settings on a 6 km long busy round route with 10 TIs. These ventilation settings were windows fully open and both outdoor air intake from fan and heating off (Set<inf>1</inf>), windows closed, fan 25% on and heating 50% on (Set<inf>2</inf>), windows closed, fan 100% on and heating off (Set<inf>3</inf>), windows closed, fan off and heating 100% on (Set<inf>4</inf>), and windows closed, fan and heating off (Set<inf>5</inf>). Measurements were taken sequentially inside and outside the car cabin at 10 Hz sampling rate using a solenoid switching system in conjunction with a fast response differential mobility spectrometer (DMS50). The objectives were to: (i) identify traffic conditions under which TIs becomes hot-spots of PNCs, (ii) assess the effect of ventilation settings in free-flow and delay conditions (waiting time at a TI when traffic signal is red) on in-cabin PNCs with respect to on-road PNCs at TIs, (iii) deriving the relationship between the PNCs and change in driving speed during delay time at the TIs, and (iv) quantify the contribution of exposure at TIs with respect to overall commuting exposure. Congested TIs were found to become hot-spots when vehicle accelerate from idling conditions. In-cabin peak PNCs followed similar temporal trend as for on-road peak PNCs. Reduction in in-cabin PNC with respect to outside PNC was highest (70%) during free-flow traffic conditions when both fan drawing outdoor air into the cabin and heating was switched off. Such a reduction in in-cabin PNCs at TIs was highest (88%) with respect to outside PNC during delay conditions when fan was drawing outside air at 25% on and heating was 50% on settings. PNCs and change in driving speed showed an exponential-fit relationship during the delay events at TIs. Short-term exposure for ~2% of total commuting time in car corresponded to ~25% of total respiratory doses. This study highlights a need for more studies covering diverse traffic and geographical conditions in urban environments so that the disparate contribution of exposure at TIs can be quantified
Search for pair and single production of new heavy quarks that decay to a Z boson and a third-generation quark in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A search is presented for the production of new heavy quarks that decay to a Z boson and a third-generation Standard Model quark. In the case of a new charge +2/3 quark (T ), the decay targeted is T → Zt, while the decay targeted for a new charge −1/3 quark (B) is B → Zb. The search is performed with a dataset corresponding to 20.3 fb−1 of pp collisions at s√=8 TeV recorded in 2012 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Selected events contain a high transverse momentum Z boson candidate reconstructed from a pair of oppositely charged same-flavor leptons (electrons or muons), and are analyzed in two channels defined by the absence or presence of a third lepton. Hadronic jets, in particular those with properties consistent with the decay of a b-hadron, are also required to be present in selected events. Different requirements are made on the jet activity in the event in order to enhance the sensitivity to either heavy quark pair production mediated by the strong interaction, or single production mediated by the electroweak interaction. No significant excess of events above the Standard Model expectation is observed, and lower limits are derived on the mass of vector-like T and B quarks under various branching ratio hypotheses, as well as upper limits on the magnitude of electroweak coupling parameters
Server Power Modeling for Run-time Energy Optimization of Cloud Computing Facilities.

As advanced Cloud services are becoming mainstream, the contribution of data centers in the overall power consumption of modern cities is growing dramatically. The average consumption of a single data center is equivalent to the energy consumption of 25.000 households. Modeling the power consumption for these infrastructures is crucial to anticipate the effects of aggressive optimization policies, but accurate and fast power modeling is a complex challenge for high-end servers not yet satisfied by analytical approaches. This work proposes an automatic method, based on Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization, for the identification of power models of enterprise servers in Cloud data centers. Our approach, as opposed to previous procedures, does not only consider the workload consolidation for deriving the power model, but also incorporates other non traditional factors like the static power consumption and its dependence with temperature. Our experimental results shows that we reach slightly better models than classical approaches, but simultaneously simplifying the power model structure and thus the numbers of sensors needed, which is very promising for a short-term energy prediction. This work, validated with real Cloud applications, broadens the possibilities to derive efficient energy saving techniques for Cloud facilities
Measurement of the forward $W$ boson cross-section in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7 {\rm \, TeV}$

A measurement of the inclusive $W \to \mu\nu$ production cross-section using data from $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 7 {\rm \, TeV}$ is presented. The analysis is based on an integrated luminosity of about $1.0 {\rm \, fb}^{-1}$ recorded with the LHCb detector. Results are reported for muons with a transverse momentum greater than $20 {\rm \, Ge\kern -0.1em V\!/}c$ and pseudorapidity between 2.0 and 4.5. The $W^{+}$ and $W^{-}$ production cross-sections are measured to be $$\sigma_{W^{+} \to \mu^{+}\nu} = 861.0 \pm 2.0 \pm 11.2 \pm 14.7 {\rm \, pb},$$ $$\sigma_{W^{-} \to \mu^{-}\overline{\nu}} = 675.8 \pm 1.9 \pm 8.8 \pm 11.6 {\rm \, pb},$$ where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic and the third is due to the luminosity determination. Cross-section ratios and differential distributions as functions of the muon pseudorapidity are also presented. The ratio of $W^{+}$ to $W^{-}$ cross-sections in the same fiducial kinematic region is determined to be $$\frac{\sigma_{W^{+} \to \mu^{+}\nu}}{\sigma_{W^{-} \to \mu^{-}\overline{\nu}}} = 1.274 \pm 0.005 \pm 0.009,$$ where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. Results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics
Crosstalk between Gut Microbiota and Dietary Lipids Aggravates WAT Inflammation through TLR Signaling.

Dietary lipids may influence the abundance of circulating inflammatory microbial factors. Hence, inflammation in white adipose tissue (WAT) induced by dietary lipids may be partly dependent on their interaction with the gut microbiota. Here, we show that mice fed lard for 11 weeks have increased Toll-like receptor (TLR) activation and WAT inflammation and reduced insulin sensitivity compared with mice fed fish oil and that phenotypic differences between the dietary groups can be partly attributed to differences in microbiota composition. Trif(-/-) and Myd88(-/-) mice are protected against lard-induced WAT inflammation and impaired insulin sensitivity. Experiments in germ-free mice show that an interaction between gut microbiota and saturated lipids promotes WAT inflammation independent of adiposity. Finally, we demonstrate that the chemokine CCL2 contributes to microbiota-induced WAT inflammation in lard-fed mice. These results indicate that gut microbiota exacerbates metabolic inflammation through TLR signaling upon challenge with a diet rich in saturated lipids
A nonabelian (1, 0) tensor multiplet theory in 6D

We construct a general nonabelian (1, 0) tensor multiplet theory in six dimensions. The gauge field of this (1, 0) theory is non-dynamical, and the theory contains a continuous parameter b . When b = 1/2, the (1, 0) theory possesses an extra discrete symmetry enhancing the supersymmetry to (2, 0), and the theory turns out to be identical to the (2, 0) theory of Lambert and Papageorgakis (LP). Upon dimension reduction, we obtain a general $ \mathcal{N} $ = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in five dimensions. The applications of the theories to D4 and M5-branes are briefly discussed
New N  = 5, 6, 3D gauged supergravities and holography

We study N  = 5 gauged supergravity in three dimensions with compact, non-compact and non-semisimple gauge groups. The theory under consideration is of Chern-Simons type with USp(4, k )/USp(4) × USp( k ) scalar manifold. We classify possible semisimple gauge groups of the k  = 2, 4 cases and identify some of their critical points. A number of supersymmetric AdS 3 critical points are found, and holographic RG flows interpolating between these critical points are also investigated. As one of our main results, we consider a non-semisimple gauge group SO(5) ⋉ T 10 for the theory with USp(4, 4)/USp(4) × USp(4) scalar manifold. The resulting theory describes N  = 5 gauged supergravity in four dimensions reduced on $ {{{{S^1}}} \left/ {{{{\mathbb{Z}}_2}}} \right.} $ and admits a maximally supersymmetric AdS 3 critical point with $ \mathrm{Osp}\left( {5|2,\mathbb{R}} \right)\times \mathrm{Sp}\left( {2,\mathbb{R}} \right) $ superconformal symmetry. We end the paper with the construction of SO(6) ⋉ T 15 gauged supergravity with N  = 6 supersymmetry. The theory admits a half-supersymmetric domain wall as a vacuum solution and may be obtained from an $ {{{{S^1}}} \left/ {{{{\mathbb{Z}}_2}}} \right.} $ reduction of N  = 6 gauged supergravity in four dimensions
Polyakov-quark–meson–diquark model for two-color QCD

We present an update on the phase diagram of two-color QCD from a chiral effective model approach based on a quark–meson–diquark model using the Functional Renormalization Group (FRG). We discuss the impact of perturbative UV contributions, the inclusion of gauge field dynamics via a phenomenological Polyakov loop potential, and the impact of matter backcoupling on the gauge sector. The corresponding phase diagram including these effects is found to be in qualitative agreement with recent lattice investigations
Dark matter and dark force in the type-I inert 2HDM with local U(1) H gauge symmetry

We discuss dark matter (DM) physics in the Type-I inert two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) with local U(1) H Higgs gauge symmetry, which is assigned to the extra Higgs doublet in order to avoid the Higgs-mediated flavor problems. In this gauged inert DM setup, a U(1) H -charged scalar Φ is also introduced to break U(1) H spontaneously through its nonzero vacuum expectation value (VEV), 〈Φ〉, and then the remnant discrete subgroup appears according to the U(1) H charge assignment of Φ. The U(1) H -charged Higgs doublet does not have Yukawa couplings with the Standard-Model (SM) fermions, and its lightest neutral scalar component H is stable because of the remnant discrete symmetry. In order to suppress a too large Z -exchange diagram contribution in DM direct detection experiments, we have to introduce a non-renormalizable operator which can be generated by integrating out an extra heavy scalar. With these new particles contents, we first investigate the constraint on the U(1) H gauge interaction, especially through the kinetic and mass mixing between the SM gauge bosons and the extra gauge boson. Then we discuss dark matter physics in our 2HDM: thermal relic density, and direct/indirect detections of dark matter. The additional U(1) H gauge interaction plays a crucial role in reducing the DM thermal relic density. The most important result within the inert DM model with local U(1) H symmetry is that ∼ O (10) GeV dark matter scenario, which is strongly disfavored in the usual Inert Doublet Model (IDM) with Z 2 symmetry, is revived in our model because of newly open channels, HH → Z H Z H ,Z H Z . Exotic Higgs decays, h → Z H Z H ,ZZ H , would be distinctive signatures of the inert 2HDM with local U(1) H symmetry
The supersymmetric Higgs boson with flavoured A -terms

We consider a supersymmetric scenario with large flavour violating A -terms in the stop/scharm sector and study their impact on the Higgs mass, the electroweak ρ parameter and the effective Higgs couplings to gluons, photons and charm quarks. For each observable we present explicit analytical expressions which exhibit the relevant parametric dependences, both in the general case and in specific limits. We find significant effects and comment on phenomenological implications for the LHC and future colliders
Scrutinizing the η - η ′ mixing, masses and pseudoscalar decay constants in the framework of U(3) chiral effective field theory

We study the η - η ′ mixing up to next-to-next-to-leading-order in U(3) chiral perturbation theory in the light of recent lattice simulations and phenomenological inputs. A general treatment for the η - η ′ mixing at higher orders, with the higher-derivative, kinematic and mass mixing terms, is addressed. The connections between the four mixing parameters in the two-mixing-angle scheme and the low energy constants in the U(3) chiral effective theory are provided both for the singlet-octet and the quark-flavor bases. The axial-vector decay constants of pion and kaon are studied in the same order and confronted with the lattice simulation data as well. The quark-mass dependences of m η , m η  ′ and m K are found to be well described at next-to-leading order. Nonetheless, in order to simultaneously describe the lattice data and phenomenological determinations for the properties of light pseudoscalars π, K, η and η ′, the next-to-next-to-leading order study is essential. Furthermore, the lattice and phenomenological inputs are well reproduced for reasonable values of low the energy constants, compatible with previous bibliography
Hadroproduction of t–anti-t pair with two isolated photons with PowHel

We simulate the hadroproduction of a tt¯ pair in association with two isolated hard photons at 13 TeV LHC using the PowHel package. We use the generated events, stored according to the Les-Houches event format, to make predictions for differential distributions formally at the next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy. We present predictions at the hadron level employing the cone-type isolation of the photons used by experiments. We also compare the kinematic distributions to the same distributions obtained in the tt¯H final state when the Higgs-boson decays into a photon pair, to which the process discussed here is an irreducible background
Multiple crustal sources for post-tectonic I-type granites in the Hercynian Iberian Belt

15 páginas, 9 fiuras, 3 tablas.-- El Pdf del artículo es la versión pre-print.A post-tectonic plutonic array of felsic I-type granites crops out in the western Hercynian Iberian Belt. Isotope (Sr, Nd, Pb) data favour the absence of an important input of juvenile magmas in late- to post- tectonic Hercynian felsic magmatism in western Iberia, but suggest a reworking of different crustal protoliths, including oceanic metabasic rocks accreted to mid-to-lower crustal levels during the early stages of the collision. I-type granites were derived from different meta-igneous protoliths ranging from metabasic to felsic compositions depending on their geographical position from the external (e.g. Galicia—N Portugal, GNP) to the innermost continental areas (Spanish Central System and Los Pedroches Batholiths). The GNP I-type plutons related to eo-Hercynian accretional terranes have lower initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios, lower negative εNd values, and higher 206Pb/204Pb ratios than other I-type granites of the Central Iberian zone. These more isotopically primitive Hercynian I-type granites are important in tracking pre-Hercynian accreted oceanic lithosphere terranes.The Pb isotope analyses were supported by the\ud

Neural Correlates of the Outcome Processing of Dishonest Choices: An fMRI and ERP study

A dishonest person often utilizes another person’s obliviousness to appropriate the property that belongs to the other person. Previous researchers have studied the making of a dishonest choice and the manipulation of truthful information. Here, we have investigated the neural correlates of processing the outcomes of dishonest decisions. Participants in this study were asked to interact with counterparts in an economic game. They could accept the counterparts’ proposals on how to divide the profits (honest choice) or choose the alternative plan that was advantageous to themselves (dishonest choice), playing to the ignorance of their counterparts who had a 50% chance of detecting the situation. Successful dishonest choices (not being detected) would bring large rewards, whereas honest choices would lead to less of a reward, and failed dishonest choices (being caught) would result in no reward. Participants’ neural responses during the outcome presentations were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and event-related potential (ERP) methods in different sessions. We found that the outcomes of successful dishonest (vs. honest) choices elicited stronger activations in the ventral striatum and posterior cingulate cortex and a smaller ERP component called feedback-related negativity (FRN), which suggests that positive outcome evaluation and attention processing were aroused by successful dishonest choices. Moreover, the outcomes of failed dishonest (relative to honest) choices were associated with different neural response patterns in the medial orbitofrontal cortex and P3b ERP component between human and computer counterparts, suggesting that processing the output of social decision making (playing human) is different from that of risk taking (playing computer). The findings advanced our understanding about the neural processing of outcome presentation after a dishonest choice has been made.published_or_final_versio
Magmatic differentiation in the calc-alkaline Khalkhab–Neshveh pluton, Central Iran

Geochemical and isotopic data (Sr, Nd) are presented for the Khalkhab–Neshveh pluton, an E-W elongated body of quartz monzogabbro, quartz monzodiorite, granodiorite and granite in the Urumieh–Dokhtar magmatic arc of Central Iran. The plutonic rocks are medium- to high-K, metaluminous, and I-type, with 52–71 wt.% SiO2. The geochemistry shows smooth differentiation trends in which most major elements (except Al2O3, K2O and Na2O) are negatively correlated with SiO2; K2O, Ba, Rb, Ce, Nb, and Zr are positively correlated. Na2O, Sr, Eu and Y follow curves that are not considered to represent simple mixing between mafic and felsic magmas, but reflect crystal fractionation of clinopyroxene, plagioclase and hornblende. Initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (∼0.7047) and εNdt values (∼+3.0) are essentially constant, and the large volume of quartz monzogabbros compared to granites, as well as the lack of mafic enclaves in more evolved rocks, are also indicative of crystal fractionation rather than mixing of magmas from different sources. Clinopyroxene fractionation was the main control in the evolution of the magmas up to 55% SiO2; hornblende took over from 55 wt.%, resulting in decreasing Dy/Yb with increasing silica content in the most siliceous rocks. Sr concentration increases up to 55% SiO2, and then decreases together with CaO, Al2O3, Na2O. Fractionation of opaque minerals and apatite throughout the sequence, and the continuous increase in K2O and Ba vs. SiO2 reflect the absence of significant fractionation of biotite and K-feldspar. Based on geochemical and isotope data, geophysics information and field studies, it seems that suturing of the Arabia and Iran plates caused the Khalkhab and Koush nousrat faults with left-lateral strike-slip in the Urumieh–Dokhtar region, and generated a purely tensional T space at 32° to the faults which was exploited by the emplacement of Khalkhab–Neshveh pluton.\ud

Cost-effectiveness of Store-and-Forward Teledermatology:A Systematic Review

Importance Teledermatology is a topical clinical approach being tested in Australia and elsewhere. With most dermatologists residing in metropolitan areas, teledermatology provides an apparent low-cost and convenient means of access for individuals living outside these areas. It is important that any proposed new addition to a health care system is assessed on the grounds of economic cost and effectiveness. Objective To summarize and evaluate the current economic evidence comparing store-and-forward teledermatology (S&FTD) with conventional face-to-face care. Evidence Review Search terms with appropriate amendments were used to identify S&FTD articles that included economic analysis. Six databases were searched, and title, abstract and full-text reviews were conducted by 2 researchers. References of all unique returned articles were searched by hand. The Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS) checklist was used to evaluate quality of the included articles. Findings Eleven articles were selected for inclusion, including 1 cost analysis, 4 cost-minimization analyses, 4 cost-effectiveness analyses, and 2 cost-utility analyses. CHEERS scores ranged from 7 to 21 out of a possible 24 points, with a median score of 17. Conclusions and Relevance Current evidence is sparse but suggests that S&FTD can be cost-effective. It appears to be cost-effective when used as a triage mechanism to reduce face-to-face appointment requirements. The cost-effectiveness of S&FTD increases when patients are required to travel farther distances to access dermatology services. Further economic research is required for the emerging S&FTD, which uses dermoscopes in combination with smartphone applications, as well as regarding the possibility and consequences of patients self-capturing and transmitting images
