Recent status of the understanding of neutrino-nucleus cross section
In this work we have presented current understanding of
neutrino-nucleon/nucleus cross sections in the few GeV energy region relevant
for a precise determination of neutrino oscillation parameters and CP violation
in the leptonic sector. In this energy region various processes like
quasielastic and inelastic production of single and multipion production,
coherent pion production, kaon, eta, hyperon production, associated particle
production as well as deep inelastic scattering processes contribute to the
neutrino event rates.Comment: 9-Pages, 4-figures, Talk given at DAE-HEP Symposium held at Delhi

Copyright @ 2013 Elsevier B.V.This study aimed to identify factors that influence user attitudes towards mobile recommender systems and to examine how these factors interact with cultural values to affect attitudes towards this technology. Based on the theory of reasoned action, belief factors for mobile recommender systems are identified in three dimensions: functional, contextual, and social. Hypotheses explaining different impacts of cultural values on the factors affecting attitudes were also proposed. The research model was tested based on data collected in China, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. Findings indicate that functional and social factors have significant impacts on user attitudes towards mobile recommender systems. The relationships between belief factors and attitudes are moderated by two cultural values: collectivism and uncertainty avoidance. The theoretical and practical implications of applying theory of reasoned action and innovation diffusion theory to explain the adoption of new technologies in societies with different cultures are also discussed.National Research Foundation

Electromagnetic and Weak Nuclear Structure Functions in the Intermediate Region of
We have studied nuclear structure functions and
for electromagnetic and weak processes in the region of . The nuclear medium effects arising due to Fermi motion,
binding energy, nucleon correlations, mesonic contributions and shadowing
effects are taken into account using a many body field theoretical approach.
The calculations are performed in a local density approximation using a
relativistic nucleon spectral function. The results are compared with the
available experimental data. Implications of nuclear medium effects on the
validity of Callan-Gross relation are also discussed.Comment: Published in Journal of the Physical Society of Japan (NuInt-2015
