Remarks on Topological SUSY in sixdimensional TQFTs

We establish the existence of the topological vector supersymmetry in the six dimensional topological field theory for two-form fields introduced by Baulieu and West. We investigate the relation of these symmetries to the twist operation for the (2,0) supersymmetry and comment on their resemblance to the analogous symmetries in topological Yang-Mills theory.Comment: 12 pages, to be published in JHEP 11(1999)03

Gravitational F-terms of N=1 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories

We consider four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories in a supergravity background. We use generalized Konishi anomaly equations and R-symmetry anomaly to compute the exact perturbative and non-perturbative gravitational F-terms. We study two types of theories: The first model breaks supersymmetry dynamically, and the second is based on a $G_2$ gauge group. The results are compared with the corresponding vector models. We discuss the diagrammatic expansion of the $G_2$ theory.Comment: LaTeX2e, 23 pages, 2 figures. Added a reference and converted into JHEP styl

High multiplicity W+jets predictions at NLO

In these proceedings we present results from a recent calculation for the production of a W boson in conjunction with five jets at next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. We also use results at lower multiplicities to extrapolate the cross section to the same process with six jets.Comment: 5 pages, Proceedings for the DIS2013 conferenc

The BlackHat Library for One-Loop Amplitudes

We present recent next-to-leading order (NLO) results in perturbative QCD obtained using the BlackHat software library. We discuss the use of n-tuples to separate the lengthy matrix-element computations from the analysis process. The use of n-tuples allows many analyses to be carried out on the same phase-space samples, and also allows experimenters to conduct their own analyses using the original NLO computation.Comment: Talk given at ACAT 2013, Beijing, China, May 16--21, 2013; 6 pages, 2 figures; added reference

Self-Efficacy Penderita Hipertensi Di Puskesmas Kota Selatan Gorontalo

Prevalensi dan insidensi penyakit hipertensi semakin meningkat dan menyebabkan tingginya morbiditas dan mortalitas yang tinggi. Gorontalo merupakan Provinsi yang ikut menyumbang jumlah kumulatif kasus hipertensi. Sebagai penyakit yang dikenal dengan isitilah “silent killer”. Dalam upaya pengurangan komplikasi ini diperlukan kepatuhan dan kesadaran dri akan kemampuan dalam mencapai tujuan pengobatan yang kemudian lebih dikenal dengan isitilah self-efficacy. Rancangan penelitian ini menggunakan deskriptif dimana pengukuran dengan menggambarkan variabel yang diteliti tanpa menganalisa hubungan antar variabel. Sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yakni purposive sampling dengan jumlah 100 sampel yang diambil berdasarkan kriteria sampel. Hasil peneltian didapatkan terdaat 65 responden berjenis kelamin laki-laki dan 35 responden berjensi kelamin perempuan . Pada penelitian ini juga didapatkan juga responden yang memiliki self-efficacy tinggi berjumlah 53, dan 47responden memiliki self-efficacy rendah. Self-efficacy memberikan kontribusi terhadap pemahaman yang lebih baik dalam proses perubahan perilaku kesehatan sehingga akan meningkatkan kemampuan seseorang dalam memahami terkait penyakit, dan memilih cara yang tepat dalam mengurangi tingkat keparahan dengan keterampilan yang terlatih

Universality in W+Multijet Production

We study $W$-boson production accompanied by multiple jets at 7 TeV at the LHC. We study the jet-production ratio, of total cross sections for $W$+$n$- to $W$+($n-1$)-jet production, and the ratio of distributions in the total transverse hadronic jet energy $H_{\rm T}^{\rm jets}$. We use the ratios to extrapolate the total cross section, and the differential distribution in $H_{\rm T}^{\rm jets}$, to $W$+6-jet production. We use the BlackHat software library in conjunction with SHERPA to perform the computations.Comment: Merge of Moriond 2014 and Loops & Legs 2014 proceedings, 6 pages, 2 figure

Characterization and Improvement of the Image Quality of the Data Taken with the Infrared Camera (IRC) Mid-Infrared Channels onboard AKARI

Mid-infrared images frequently suffer artifacts and extended point spread functions (PSFs). We investigate the characteristics of the artifacts and the PSFs in images obtained with the Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI at four mid-infrared bands of the S7 (7{\mu}m), S11 (11{\mu}m), L15 (15{\mu}m), and L24 (24 {\mu}m). Removal of the artifacts significantly improves the reliability of the ref- erence data for flat-fielding at the L15 and L24 bands. A set of models of the IRC PSFs is also constructed from on-orbit data. These PSFs have extended components that come from diffraction and scattering within the detector arrays. We estimate the aperture correction factors for point sources and the surface brightness correction factors for diffuse sources. We conclude that the surface brightness correction factors range from 0.95 to 0.8, taking account of the extended component of the PSFs. To correct for the extended PSF effects for the study of faint structures, we also develop an image reconstruction method, which consists of the deconvolution with the PSF and the convolution with an appropriate Gaussian. The appropriate removal of the artifacts, improved flat-fielding, and image reconstruction with the extended PSFs enable us to investigate de- tailed structures of extended sources in IRC mid-infrared images.Comment: 35 pages, 15 figures, accepted for publication in PAS
