Flavor Mixing in the Gauge-Higgs Unification
Gauge-Higgs unification is the fascinating scenario solving the hierarchy
problem without supersymmetry. In this scenario, the Standard Model (SM) Higgs
doublet is identified with extra component of the gauge field in higher
dimensions and its mass becomes finite and stable under quantum corrections due
to the higher dimensional gauge symmetry. On the other hand, Yukawa coupling is
provided by the gauge coupling, which seems to mean that the flavor mixing and
CP violation do not arise at it stands. In this talk, we discuss that the
flavor mixing is originated from simultaneously non-diagonalizable bulk and
brane mass matrices. Then, this mechanism is applied to various flavor changing
neutral current (FCNC) processes via Kaluza-Klein (KK) gauge boson exchange at
tree level and constraints for compactification scale are obtained.Comment: 5 pages, prepared for the proceedings of the International Workshop

Decoupling Solution to SUSY Flavor Problem via Extra Dimensions
We discuss the decoupling solution to SUSY flavor problem in the fat brane
scenario. We present a simple model to yield the decoupling sfermion spectrum
in a five dimensional theory. Sfermion masses are generated by the overlap
between the wave functions of the matter fields and the chiral superfields on
the SUSY breaking brane. Two explicit examples of the spectrum are given.Comment: 8 pages, LaTe
Cultural Continuity and Change: A Study of the Sixteen Samskaras in Modern Hindu Society
This paper explores the cultural continuity and changes surrounding the sixteen samskaras within modern Hindu society. Drawing from a synthesis of scholarly works and classical texts, the study examines the historical significance and contemporary relevance of these rituals. Ramaswami Aiyer, Pandey, and Shelat provide foundational insights into the cultural heritage of India, emphasizing the enduring nature of the samskaras and their role in shaping Hindu identity. Shrutiprakashdas, Dave, Shukla, Vivekpriyadas, and Gnaneshwardas offer philosophical, sociological, and cultural perspectives, elucidating the spiritual dimensions and adaptive qualities of these ceremonies in response to societal shifts. Through an analysis of these sources, this paper seeks to understand how the sixteen samskaras continue to uphold tradition while accommodating changes in modern Hindu society.
The Sixteen Samskaras, deeply rooted in Hindu philosophy and tradition, represent a series of sacred rites of passage that mark significant milestones in an individual’s life journey. These rituals, spanning from conception to cremation, play a vital role in shaping the spiritual and cultural identity of Hindus across different regions and communities. Each samskara is imbued with profound meaning and symbolism, reflecting the rich tapestry of beliefs and practices that define Hinduism
Aspects of Phase Transition in Gauge-Higgs Unification at Finite Temperature
We study the phase transition in gauge-Higgs unification at finite
temperature. In particular, we obtain the strong first order electroweak phase
transition for a simple matter content yielding the correct order of Higgs mass
at zero temperature. Two stage phase transition is found for a particular
matter content, which is the strong first order at each stage. We further study
supersymmetric gauge models with the Scherk-Schwarz supersymmetry breaking. We
again observe the first order electroweak phase transition and multi stage
phase transition.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figures, references corrected, minor correctio
Product Evaluation of Carbamazepine 200mg Controlled Release Tablets using an in vitro-in vivo Correlation Simulation Model
Evaluation of the dissolution characteristics of drugs and their bioavailability can be conducted using an in vitro-in vivo correlation model. This can help in assessing the products available in the market for quality. Random testing in post-marketing surveillance would gauge the quality of the drug products. This study involved evaluation of three batches of controlled-release carbamazepine, Tegretol 200mg CR® tablets through dissolution tests from which a dissolution profile and blood concentration-time profile were derived. The in vitro-in vivo correlation simulation model was used to determine the Area Under Curve and Maximum Plasma Concentration and demonstrate bioequivalence of the product batches. The three batches exhibited similarity upon statistical analysis. The results also correspond to the values obtained in literature from bioequivalence studies. In vitro-in vivo correlation can thus be a useful instrument in pharmacovigilance for marketed drug products.

(S)fermion Masses in Fat Brane Scenario
We discuss the fermion mass hierarchy and the flavor mixings in the fat brane
scenario of a five dimensional SUSY theory. Assuming that the matter fields
lives in the bulk, their zero mode wave functions are Gaussians, and Higgs
fields are localized on the brane, we find simple various types of the matter
configurations generating the mass matrices consistent with experimental data.
Sfermion mass spectrum is also discussed using the matter configurations found
above. Which type of squark mass spectra (the degeneracy, the decoupling and
the alignment) is realized depends on the relative locations of SUSY breaking
brane and the brane where Higgs fields are localized.Comment: 18 pages, LaTe
