Transitions between Vortex Rings and Monopole-Antimonopole Chains

In monopole-antimonopole chain solutions of SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory the
Higgs field vanishes at m isolated points along the symmetry axis, whereas in
vortex ring solutions the Higgs field vanishes along one or more rings,
centered around the symmetry axis. We investigate how these static axially
symmetric solutions depend on the strength of the Higgs selfcoupling \lambda.
We show, that as the coupling is getting large, new branches of solutions
appear at critical values of \lambda. Exhibiting a different node structure,
these give rise to transitions between vortex rings and monopole-antimonopole
chains.Comment: 14 pages, 18 figures, published in pl
Gauging Flavour in Meta-Stable Susy Breaking Models

We modify the first ISS model (hep-th/0602239) by gauging a diagonal flavour
symmetry. We add additional multiplets transforming as fundamentals and
anti-fundamentals under the gauged flavour group. Their number is chosen such
that the microscopic theory is asymptotically free whereas in the Seiberg dual
(w.r.t. the colour group) it changes to an infrared free theory. Non
perturbative effects within the flavour group can correct the location of the
supersymmetric vacuum. Statements about meta-stability of the susy breaking
vacuum would require a two loop calculation. For general couplings, the
question whether gauging flavour destabilises susy breaking remains open.Comment: 11 pages, v3: factor in matching relation fixe
Deterministic regression model and visual basic code for optimal

A new, non-statistical method is presented for analysis of the past history and current
evolution of economic and financial processes. The method is based on the sliding model
approach using linear differential or difference equations applied to discrete information
in the form of known chronological data (time series) about the process. An algorithm
is proposed that allows one to project the current evolution of the process onto some
period of its future development. Computer code in visual basic is developed that has been
validated in application to American stock index S&P 500, with predicted values within 5%
of real data over long periods of the recent past history. The algorithm and the code can
be applied to practical problems in finance and economy in time of its normal evolution
without catastrophic events.Alejandro Balbás also thanks the partial support provided by Welzia Management SGIIC SA, RD_Sistemas SA, Comunidad

Measurements of the Upsilon(1S), Upsilon(2S), and Upsilon(3S)
  differential cross sections in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

Differential cross sections as a function of transverse momentum pt are
presented for the production of Y(nS) (n = 1, 2, 3) states decaying into a pair
of muons. Data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 inverse
femtobarns in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV were collected with the CMS
detector at the LHC. The analysis selects events with dimuon rapidity abs(y) <
1.2 and dimuon transverse momentum in the range 10 < pt < 100 GeV. The
measurements show a transition from an exponential to a power-law behavior at
pt ~ 20 GeV for the three Y states. Above that transition, the Y spectrum is
significantly harder than that of the Y(1S) and Y(2S). The ratios of the Y(3S)
and Y(2S) differential cross sections to the Y(1S) cross section show a rise as
pt increases at low pt, then become flatter at higher pt.Comment: Replaced with published version. Added journal referenc
On the Interface Formation Model for Dynamic Triple Lines

This paper revisits the theory of Y. Shikhmurzaev on forming interfaces as a
continuum thermodynamical model for dynamic triple lines. We start with the
derivation of the balances for mass, momentum, energy and entropy in a
three-phase fluid system with full interfacial physics, including a brief
review of the relevant transport theorems on interfaces and triple lines.
Employing the entropy principle in the form given in [Bothe & Dreyer, Acta
Mechanica, doi:10.1007/s00707-014-1275-1] but extended to this more general
case, we arrive at the entropy production and perform a linear closure, except
for a nonlinear closure for the sorption processes. Specialized to the
isothermal case, we obtain a thermodynamically consistent mathematical model
for dynamic triple lines and show that the total available energy is a strict
Lyapunov function for this system
On the robustness of the $q$-Gaussian family

We introduce three deformations, called $\alpha$-, $\beta$- and
$\gamma$-deformation respectively, of a $N$-body probabilistic model, first
proposed by Rodr\'iguez et al. (2008), having $q$-Gaussians as $N\to\infty$
limiting probability distributions. The proposed $\alpha$- and
$\beta$-deformations are asymptotically scale-invariant, whereas the
$\gamma$-deformation is not. We prove that, for both $\alpha$- and
$\beta$-deformations, the resulting deformed triangles still have $q$-Gaussians
as limiting distributions, with a value of $q$ independent (dependent) on the
deformation parameter in the $\alpha$-case ($\beta$-case). In contrast, the
$\gamma$-case, where we have used the celebrated $Q$-numbers and the Gauss
binomial coefficients, yields other limiting probability distribution
functions, outside the $q$-Gaussian family. These results suggest that
scale-invariance might play an important role regarding the robustness of the
$q$-Gaussian family
Ionospheric modelling using GPS to calibrate the MWA. 1: Comparison of
  first order ionospheric effects between GPS models and MWA observations

We compare first order (refractive) ionospheric effects seen by the Murchison
Widefield Array (MWA) with the ionosphere as inferred from Global Positioning
System (GPS) data. The first order ionosphere manifests itself as a bulk
position shift of the observed sources across an MWA field of view. These
effects can be computed from global ionosphere maps provided by GPS analysis
centres, namely the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE), using data
from globally distributed GPS receivers. However, for the more accurate local
ionosphere estimates required for precision radio astronomy applications, data
from local GPS networks needs to be incorporated into ionospheric modelling.
For GPS observations, the ionospheric parameters are biased by GPS receiver
instrument delays, among other effects, also known as receiver Differential
Code Biases (DCBs). The receiver DCBs need to be estimated for any non-CODE GPS
station used for ionosphere modelling, a requirement for establishing dense GPS
networks in arbitrary locations in the vicinity of the MWA. In this work,
single GPS station-based ionospheric modelling is performed at a time
resolution of 10 minutes. Also the receiver DCBs are estimated for selected
Geoscience Australia (GA) GPS receivers, located at Murchison Radio Observatory
(MRO1), Yarragadee (YAR3), Mount Magnet (MTMA) and Wiluna (WILU). The
ionospheric gradients estimated from GPS are compared with the ionospheric
gradients inferred from radio source position shifts observed with the MWA. The
ionospheric gradients at all the GPS stations show a correlation with the
gradients observed with the MWA. The ionosphere estimates obtained using GPS
measurements show promise in terms of providing calibration information for the
MWA.Comment: 24 page
From Petrov-Einstein-Dilaton-Axion to Navier-Stokes equation in
  anisotropic model

In this paper we generalize the previous works to the case that the
near-horizon dynamics of the Einstein-Dilaton-Axion theory can be governed by
the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation via imposing the Petrov-like boundary
condition on hypersurfaces in the non-relativistic and near-horizon limit. The
dynamical shear viscosity $\eta$ of such dual horizon fluid in our scenario,
which isotropically saturates the Kovtun-Son-Starinet (KSS) bound, is
independent of both the dilaton field and axion field in that limit.Comment: 13 pages,no figures; v2: 15 page, Equation.(33), some discussions and

Bar pattern speeds in CALIFA galaxies : I. Fast bars across the Hubble sequence

J.M.A. acknowledges support from the European Research Council Starting Grant (SEDmorph; P.I. V. Wild). Date of Acceptance: 07/01/2015Context. The bar pattern speed (Ωb) is defined as the rotational frequency of the bar, and it determines the bar dynamics. Several methods have been proposed for measuring Ωb. The non-parametric method proposed by Tremaine & Weinberg (1984, ApJ, 282, L5; TW) and based on stellar kinematics is the most accurate. This method has been applied so far to 17 galaxies, most of them SB0 and SBa types. Aims. We have applied the TW method to a new sample of 15 strong and bright barred galaxies, spanning a wide range of morphological types from SB0 to SBbc. Combining our analysis with previous studies, we investigate 32 barred galaxies with their pattern speed measured by the TW method. The resulting total sample of barred galaxies allows us to study the dependence of Ωb on galaxy properties, such as the Hubble type. Methods. We measured Ωb using the TW method on the stellar velocity maps provided by the integral-field spectroscopy data from the CALIFA survey. Integral-field data solve the problems that long-slit data present when applying the TW method, resulting in the determination of more accurate Ωb. In addition, we have also derived the ratio ℜ of the corotation radius to the bar length of the galaxies. According to this parameter, bars can be classified as fast (ℜ <1.4) and slow (ℜ > 1.4). Results. For all the galaxies, ℜ is compatible within the errors with fast bars. We cannot rule out (at 95% level) the fast bar solution for any galaxy. We have not observed any significant trend between ℜ and the galaxy morphological type. Conclusions. Our results indicate that independent of the Hubble type, bars have been formed and then evolve as fast rotators. This observational result will constrain the scenarios of formation and evolution of bars proposed by numerical simulations.Publisher PDFPeer reviewe
Conclusions of the Worldwide Integrated Assessment on the risks of neonicotinoids and fipronil to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning

The side effects of the current global use of pesticides on wildlife, particularly at higher levels of biological organization: populations, communities and ecosystems, are poorly understood (Köhler and Triebskorn 2013). Here, we focus on one of the problematic groups of agrochemicals, the systemic insecticides fipronil and those of the neonicotinoid family. The increasing global reliance on the partly prophylactic use of these persistent and potent neurotoxic systemic insecticides has raised concerns about their impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and ecosystem services provided by a wide range of affected species and environments. The present scale of use, combined with the properties of these compounds, has resulted in widespread contamination of agricultural soils, freshwater resources, wetlands, non-target vegetation and estuarine and coastal marine systems, which means that many organisms inhabiting these habitats are being repeatedly and chronically expose..
Search for new phenomena in final states with large jet multiplicities and missing transverse momentum at sqrt(s)=8 TeV proton-proton collisions using the ATLAS experiment

A search is presented for new particles decaying to large numbers (7 to greater or equal to 10) of jets, missing transverse momentum and no isolated electrons or muons. This analysis uses 20.3/fb of pp collision data at sqrt(s)=8 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The sensitivity of the search is enhanced by considering the number of b-tagged jets and the scalar sum of masses of large-radius jets in an event. No evidence is found for physics beyond the Standard Model. The results are interpreted in the context of various simplified supersymmetry-inspired models where gluinos are pair produced, as well as a mSUGRA/CMSSM model
Fiducial and differential cross sections of Higgs boson production measured in the four-lepton decay channel in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Measurements of fiducial and differential cross sections of Higgs boson production in the\ud
H →ZZ* → 4ℓ decay channel are presented. The cross sections are determined within a fiducial phase space and corrected for detection efficiency and resolution effects. They are based on 20.3 fb−1 of pp collision data, produced at √s = 8 TeV centre-of-mass energy at the LHC and recorded by the ATLAS detector. The differential measurements are performed in bins of transverse momentum and rapidity of the four-lepton system, the invariant mass of the subleading lepton pair and the decay angle of the leading lepton pair with respect to the beam line in the four-lepton rest frame, as well as the number of jets and the transverse momentum of the leading jet. The measured cross sections\ud
are compared to selected theoretical calculations of the Standard Model expectations. No significant deviation from any of the tested predictions is found.\ud
CALIFA: a diameter-selected sample for an integral field spectroscopy galaxy survey

We describe and discuss the selection procedure and statistical properties of the galaxy sample used by the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey, a public legacy survey of 600 galaxies using integral field spectroscopy. The CALIFA "mother sample" was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR7 photometric catalogue to include all galaxies with an r-band isophotal major axis between 45 '' and 79 : 2 '' and with a redshift 0 : 005 < z < 0 : 03. The mother sample contains 939 objects, 600 of which will be observed in the course of the CALIFA survey. The selection of targets for observations is based solely on visibility and thus keeps the statistical properties of the mother sample. By comparison with a large set of SDSS galaxies, we find that the CALIFA sample is representative of galaxies over a luminosity range of -19 > M-r > -23 : 1 and over a stellar mass range between 10(9.7) and 10(11.4) M-circle dot. In particular, within these ranges, the diameter selection does not lead to any significant bias against - or in favour of - intrinsically large or small galaxies. Only below luminosities of M-r = -19 (or stellar masses < 10(9.7) M-circle dot) is there a prevalence of galaxies with larger isophotal sizes, especially of nearly edge-on late-type galaxies, but such galaxies form < 10% of the full sample. We estimate volume-corrected distribution functions in luminosities and sizes and show that these are statistically fully compatible with estimates from the full SDSS when accounting for large-scale structure. For full characterization of the sample, we also present a number of value-added quantities determined for the galaxies in the CALIFA sample. These include consistent multi-band photometry based on growth curve analyses; stellar masses; distances and quantities derived from these; morphological classifications; and an overview of available multi-wavelength photometric measurements. We also explore different ways of characterizing the environments of CALIFA galaxies, finding that the sample covers environmental conditions from the field to genuine clusters. We finally consider the expected incidence of active galactic nuclei among CALIFA galaxies given the existing pre-CALIFA data, finding that the final observed CALIFA sample will contain approximately 30 Sey2 galaxies
Geographical distribution of human Schistosoma japonicum infection in the Philippines : tools to support disease control and further elimination

S. japonicum infection is believed to be endemic in 28 of the 80 provinces of the Philippines and the most recent data on schistosomiasis prevalence have shown considerable variability between provinces. In order to increase the efficient allocation of parasitic disease control resources in the country, we aimed to describe the small scale spatial variation in S. japonicum prevalence across the Philippines, quantify the role of the physical environment in driving the spatial variation of S. japonicum, and develop a predictive risk map of S. japonicum infection.\ud
Data on S. japonicum infection from 35,754 individuals across the country were geo-located at the barangay level and included in the analysis. The analysis was then stratified geographically for Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao. Zero-inflated binomial Bayesian geostatistical models of S. japonicum prevalence were developed and diagnostic uncertainty was incorporated. \ud
Results of the analysis show that in the three regions, males and individuals aged ≥ 20 years had significantly higher prevalence of S. japonicum compared with females and children <5 years. The role of the environmental variables differed between regions of the Philippines. S. japonicum infection was widespread in the Visayas whereas it was much more focal in Luzon and Mindanao.\ud
\ud
This analysis revealed significant spatial variation in prevalence of S. japonicum infection in the Philippines. This suggests that a spatially targeted approach to schistosomiasis interventions, including mass drug administration, is warranted. When financially possible, additional schistosomiasis surveys should be prioritized to areas identified to be at high risk, but which were underrepresented in our dataset
On new physics in ΔΓ d

Motivated by the recent measurement of the dimuon asymmetry by the DØ collaboration, which could be interpreted as an enhanced decay rate difference in the neutral B d -meson system, we investigate the possible size of new-physics contributions to ΔΓ d . In particular, we perform model-independent studies of non-standard effects associated to the dimension-six current-current operators ( $ \overline{d}p $ )( $ \overline{p} $ ′ b ) with p, p ′ = u, c as well as ( $ \overline{d}p $ )( $ \overline{\tau}\tau $ ). In both cases we find that for certain flavour or Lorentz structures of the operators sizeable deviations of ΔΓ d away from the Standard Model expectation cannot be excluded in a model-independent fashion
Finite-gap equations for strings on AdS 3 × S 3 × T 4 with mixed 3-form flux

We study superstrings on AdS 3 × S 3 × T 4 supported by a combination of Ramond-Ramond and Neveu-Schwarz-Neveu-Schwarz three form fluxes, and write down a set of finite-gap equations that describe the massive part of the classical string spectrum. Using the recently proposed all-loop S-matrix we write down the all-loop Bethe ansatz equations for the massive sector. In the thermodynamic limit the Bethe ansatz reproduces the finite-gap equations. As part of this derivation we propose expressions for the leading order dressing phases. These phases differ from the well-known Arutyunov-Frolov-Staudacher phase that appears in the pure Ramond-Ramond case. We also consider the one-loop quantisation of the algebraic curve and determine the one-loop corrections to the dressing phases. Finally we consider some classical string solutions including finite size giant magnons and circular strings
Glycosylation is an androgen-regulated process essential for prostate cancer cell viability

Steroid androgen hormones play a key role in the progression and treatment of prostate cancer, with androgen deprivation therapy being the first-line treatment used to control cancer growth. Here we apply a novel search strategy to identify androgen-regulated cellular pathways that may be clinically important in prostate cancer. Using RNASeq data, we searched for genes that showed reciprocal changes in expression in response to acute androgen stimulation in culture, and androgen deprivation in patients with prostate cancer. Amongst 700 genes displaying reciprocal expression patterns we observed a significant enrichment in the cellular process glycosylation. Of 31 reciprocally-regulated glycosylation enzymes, a set of 8 (GALNT7, ST6GalNAc1, GCNT, UAP1, PGM3, CSGALNACT1, ST6GAL1 and EDEM3) were significantly up-regulated in clinical prostate carcinoma. Androgen exposure stimulated synthesis of glycan structures downstream of this core set of regulated enzymes including sialyl-Tn (sTn), sialyl LewisX (SLeX), O-GlcNAc and chondroitin sulphate, suggesting androgen regulation of the core set of enzymes controls key steps in glycan synthesis. Expression of each of these enzymes also contributed to prostate cancer cell viability. This study identifies glycosylation as a global target for androgen control, and suggests loss of specific glycosylation enzymes might contribute to tumour regression following androgen depletion therapy
Are adverse effects of antiepileptic drugs different in symptomatic partial and idiopathic generalized epilepsies? the Portuguese-Brazilian validation of the Liverpool Adverse Events Profile

We report the results of administration of the Portuguese-Brazilian translation of the Liverpool Adverse Events Profile (LAEP) to 100 patients (mean age = 34.5, SD = 12.12; 56 females), 61 with symptomatic partial epilepsy (SPE) and 39 with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (ICE) (ILAE, 1989) who were on a stable antiepileptic drug (AED) regimen and being treated in a Brazilian tertiary epilepsy center. Carbamazepine was the most commonly used AED (43.0%), followed by valproic acid (32.0%). Two or more AEDs were used by 69.0% of patients. the mean LAEP score (19 questions) was 37.6 (SD = 13.35). the most common adverse effects were sleepiness (35.0%), memory problems (35.0%), and difficulty in concentrating (25.0%). Higher LAEP scores were associated with polytherapy with three or more AEDs (P=0.005), female gender (P<0.001), older age (P<0.001), and uncontrolled seizures (P = 0.045). the intraclass coefficient (test-retest reliability) for LAEP overall score was 0.848 (95% CI = 0.782-0.895), with a range from 0.370 (unsteadiness) to 0.750 (memory problems). Cronbach's alpha coefficient (internal consistency) was 0.903. the LAEP was highly correlated with Quality of Life in Epilepsy-31 inventory (r = -0.804, P>0.001) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (Depression: r = 0.637, P<0.001; Anxiety: r = 0.621, P<0.001) dimensions. LAEP overall scores were similar in people with SPE and IGE and were not helpful in differentiating adverse effects in these two groups. Clinical variables that influenced global LAEP were seizure frequency (P = 0.050) and generalized tonic-clonic seizures in the last month (P = 0.031) in the ICE group, and polytherapy with three or more AEDs (P = 0.003 and P = 0.003) in both ICE and SPE groups.
