Neutrino Mass Matrices with Two Vanishing Elements/Cofactors

We study the phenomenological implications of the recent neutrino data for class B of two texture zeros and two vanishing cofactors for Majorana neutrinos in the flavor basis. We find that classes $B_{1}$($B_2$) of two texture zeros and classes $B_5$($B_6$) of two vanishing cofactors have similar predictions for neutrino oscillation parameters for the same mass hierarchy. Similar predictions for classes $B_3$($B_4$) of two texture zeros and classes $B_3$($B_4$) of two vanishing cofactors are expected. However, a preference for a shift in the quadrant of the Dirac-type CP violating phase($\delta$) in contrast to the earlier analysis has been predicted for a relatively large value of the reactor neutrino mixing angle($\theta_{13}$) for class B of two texture zeros and two vanishing cofactors for an inverted mass spectrum. No such shift in the quadrant of $\delta$ has been found for the normal mass spectrum.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures and 3 table

Analyzing User Behavior of Social Media

In recent time, analysis the user behavior from social media sites and applications plays a important role in current scenario. The users are people who are using social media sites and applications. To analyzing the behavior researcher deals with collecting data by opinions, identifying them. Classifying data according to the orientation of opinions and presenting their behavior from data. Analysis of behavior is an interesting job but it is also a very challenging procedure. Most of social media provides huge opinions on a particular product. The response/ opinions by user play a significant role in deciding the product�s future. These responses create positive or negative impact which plays a vital role in the field of e-commerce. It provides the useful result about product which have demands in the market or not, which is very useful for both customers as well as supplier of that product. In this paper researcher purposed some steps to analyze and express their views how social media data analyze market behavior for both company and customer

Deviations in Tribimaximal Mixing From Sterile Neutrino Sector

We explore the possibility of generating a non-zero $U_{e3}$ element of the neutrino mixing matrix from tribimaximal neutrino mixing by adding a light sterile neutrino to the active neutrinos. Small active-sterile mixing can provide the necessary deviation from tribimaximal mixing to generate a non-zero $\theta_{13}$ and atmospheric mixing $\theta_{23}$ different from maximal. Assuming no CP-violation, we study the phenomenological impact of sterile neutrinos in the context of current neutrino oscillation data. The tribimaximal pattern is broken in such a manner that the second column of tribimaximal mixing remains intact in the neutrino mixing matrix.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figures, 2 table

Assessing spatial information access, use and sharing for catchment management in Australia

Spatial data plays an important role in many social, environmental, economic and political decisions and is increasingly acknowledged as a national resource essential for sustainable development. One of the potential areas where spatial data can make a positive impact is for improved decision making to support catchment management. Reliable spatial data infrastructure (SDI) is needed to record the environmental, social and economic dimensions of catchment management. By building an appropriate SDI, disparate spatial data can be accessed and utilised to facilitate the exchange and sharing of spatial data between stakeholders across catchment communities. The aim of this paper is to identify the factors/variables contributing to spatial information access, sharing and use across catchment management areas and evaluate the current status of spatial information access, sharing and use among Australian states from a catchment management authority perspective. A survey method was used to collect primary data from 56 regional natural resource management (NRM) bodies responsible for catchment management in Australia. Descriptive statistics method was used to show the similarities and differences among Australian states. The key factors which influence sharing and access to spatial information are also explored. We found there is significant for spatial information access, use and sharing to contribute to SDI development

Reflection on Leviathan: State and Governance in Nepal

Nepal’s state-society relations are moving in tandem with the change in global conceptual design and claim of Nepalese citizens to share state sovereignty and authority. Nepalese citizens have experienced various nature of state system—patrimonial, extractive-patrimonial, constitutional, authoritarian, subsidiary and now fragile. The state fragility is marked by the erosion of its “legitimate monopoly on power,” incapacity to achieve governance goals—national security, law and order, voice, civic articipation, service delivery and cope with post-state challenges. Endogenous post-conflict state building process in Nepal requires addressing the crisis of power, a legitimate social contract, a workable constitution, structural reforms to address the root causes of conflict and democratic peace. The support of international community to the Nepalese citizens’ aspiration for a constitutional state is necessary to maintain a golden rule of politics: the instinct of society for freedom and the imperative of state for public order to keep mixed fabric of Nepalese society together and attain civil peace, social justice and changing ideals of democracy rooted into constitutional and cosmological rights

Hydro mechanical behavior of unsaturated soil subjected to drying

The literature of unsaturated soils in terms of hydraulic and mechanical behavior is reviewed. The hydro- mechanical behavior of unsaturated soil was studied using experimental investigation and numerical simulation of 1D and 2D modeling in HYDRUS software. Low plasticity silty clay (CL) and sand bentonite mixed soil SB (5% and 2% bentonite) specimens were investigated. Soil water characteristics curve (SWCC) tests were carried out in CL sample along with shear wave velocity measurement test using bender element (BE). The influence of moisture variation on specimens was investigated to see its impact on suction and on stiffness of soil. Similarly, the influence of suction on stiffness of soil and influence of density on stiffness of soil were also observed separately. To see the influence of moisture variation on suction (SWCC) and the influence of moisture variation on soil hydraulic properties (specially, hydraulic conductivity), finite element modeling was prepared representing 1D and 2D simulation using HYDRUS software. The results from the experimental investigation were compared with the results from the HYDRUS simulation. From the research, it is concluded that if the moisture content of the soil is decreased, both suction and stiffness modulus of soil is found to be increased. With the decreased moisture content, the initial increasing rate of suction was found higher than the rate of increase of stiffness modulus of the specimen. It was also observed that further decreasing the moisture content to a certain level, stiffness of soil is found to be increased with higher rate than the rate of change of suction. The available models for prediction of soil water characteristics curve (SWCC) based on grain size distribution and index properties proposed by various researchers were also examined. Recommendations are proposed for future work

Lattice Gauge Theory as a Tool to Probe Quark Confinement

Lattice gauge theoryprovides a non-perturbative quantization of gauge fields by a lattice.The results of lattice gauge theory approach to those of continuum gauge theory as the separation of lattice points approaches to zero. Continuum gauge theory provides the linear relationship between quarks potential and the distance between them indicating Quark confinement
