Mathematics in Internet Traffic Data Analysis
The Internet traffic data have been found to possess extreme variability and bursty structures in a wide range of time-scales, so that there is no definite duration of busy or silent periods. But there is a self-similarity for which it is possible to characterize the data. The self-similar nature was first proposed by Leland et a1 [l] and subsequently established by others in a flood of research works on the subject [2]-[5]. It was then a new concept against the long believed idea of Poisson traffic. The traditional Poison model, a short ranged process, assumed the variation of data flow to be finite but the observations on Internet traffic proved otherwise. It is this large variance that leads to the self-similar nature of the data almost at all scales of resolution. Such a feature is always associated with a fractal structure of the data. The fractal characteristics can exist both in temporal and spatial scales. This was indicated by Willinger and Paxson [6], as due to the extreme variability and long range dependence in the process. Presently, one of the main research interests in the field of Internet traffic is that of prediction of data which will help a network manager to render a satisfactory quality of service. Before preparing a model of prediction, one of the important tasks is to determine its statistics. Any model to predict the future values will have to preserve these characteristics
Spontaneously broken parity and consistent cosmology with transitory domain walls
Domain wall structure which may form in theories with spontaneously broken
parity is generically in conflict with standard cosmology. It has been argued
that Planck scale suppressed effects can be sufficient for removing such domain
walls. We study this possibility for three specific evolution scenarios for the
domain walls, with evolution during radiation dominated era, during matter
dominated era, and that accompanied by weak inflation. We determine the
operators permitted by the supergravity formalism and find that the field
content introduced to achieve desired spontaneous parity breaking makes
possible Planck scale suppressed terms which can potentially remove the domain
walls safely. However, the parity breaking scale, equivalently the majorana
mass scale of the right handed neutrino, does get constrained in some of
the cases, notably for the matter dominated evolution case which would be
generic to string theory inspired models giving rise to moduli fields. One
left-right symmetric model with only triplets and bidoublets is found to be
more constrainted than another admitting a gauge singlet
Threshold effects and renormalization group evolution of neutrino parameters in TeV scale seesaw models
We consider the threshold effect on the renormalization group (RG) evolution
of the neutrino masses and mixing angles in TeV scale seesaw models. We obtain
the analytic expressions using the factorization method in presence of
threshold effects. We also perform numerical study of RG effects in two
specific low scale seesaw models following the bottom-up approach and ascertain
the role of seesaw thresholds in altering the values of masses and mixing
angles during RG evolution.Comment: 31 pages, 8 figure
Neutrino mass observables and non-Hermitian version of Type-I seesaw model
We study the non-Hermitian extension of the Lagrangian of the Standard Model
extended by singlet right-handed heavy neutrinos. The neutrino mass eigenvalues
are calculated for three generation case. Using experimental data available for
neutrino mass observables, the non-Hermitian parameters are constrained. New
contributions to leptogenesis are analyzed. While allowing for a low scale
seesaw it is identified that branching ratio close to the experimental limit
for lepton flavor violation is achievable in the context of Type-I seesaw
mechanism.Comment: 17 page
Interplay of type-I and type-II seesaw in neutrinoless double beta decay in left-right symmetric model
The left-right symmetric models (LRSM) generally include type-I and type-II
induced seesaw mass as a hybrid mass for the light-active neutrinos. Assuming a
particular form of Dirac-type coupling, the Majorana-type coupling present in
the seesaw mass formula can be expressed in terms of low-energy neutrino
oscillation observables and vacuum expectation values (vevs) of the scalar
fields present in the model. The Majorana-type coupling thus admits eight
different solutions by considering the interplay of type-I and type-II terms
dominate the light neutrino mass. We study the role of all eight solutions in
the lepton number violating neutrinoless double beta decay ()
process. In LRSM, the right-handed neutrinos, triplet scalars, and gauge bosons
of the left and right sectors act as mediators of new contributions to the
process. As a result, the effective mass of electron neutrino
appearing in the decay width would be a function of (vev of the Higgs
triplet of the right sector) along with other parameters of the model, through
the masses of the new contributions. The energy scale, can be considered
as the new physics scale which allows exploring physics beyond the Standard
Model. Considering the present and future sensitivity of searches of
, we study the role of eight different solutions of the
Majorana coupling matrix. In our study, the inverted hierarchy of light
neutrino masses is disfavored for all solutions keeping future sensitivity of
effective mass in the picture, if the lightest mass of active neutrinos is
below eV. Also, our study shows a possibility of new physics
contributions saturating the experimental bound on effective mass for in
the range of TeV for two particular solutions of the Majorana coupling
matrix
Baryogenesis via flavoured leptogenesis in a minimal type-II seesaw model
We study baryogenesis via leptogenesis in an extension of the Standard Model
by adding one right-handed neutrino and one triplet scalar. These heavy
particles contribute to the generation of tiny neutrino mass through seesaw
mechanism. The contribution of the heavy particles to the neutrino masses is
inversely proportional to their corresponding masses. Considering leptogenesis
is achieved by the decay of the right-handed neutrino, the new source of CP
asymmetry comes solely from the decay of the right-handed neutrino with
one-loop vertex diagram involving the triplet scalar. The predictiveness of the
model is enhanced by introducing Fritzsch-type textures for the neutrino mass
matrix and charged lepton mass matrix. We execute the parameter space study
following the latest neutrino oscillation data. We study baryogenesis via
leptogenesis in the two-flavoured regime, using the zero textures, and show
that there is an enhancement in baryon asymmetry as compared to the unflavoured
regime. For two-flavour leptogenesis we consider the suitable temperature
regime GeV. We also study the common
correlation of CP violation between low and high-energy regimes using the
geometrical description of CP violation in terms of unitarity triangle.Comment: 32 pages, 6 figures, 4 table
Journey of ERP from Manufacturing to Education Industry

To Analyze the Effect of Microfinance Institutions on Women Empowerment, in Wolaita Zone, Southern Ethiopia
Objectives: The main aim of this paper is to analyze the effect of microfinance institutions on women’s empowerment in Wolaita Zone, southern Ethiopia.
Theoretical frame work: The effect of microfinance institutions through women empowerment by measuring economically, socially, and psychological.
Methods: The data was collected from 399 household respondents, mostly women, about five branches or districts of microfinance institutions. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were used to analyze women’s empowerment after participating in microfinance institutions.
Results and conclusion: The output of the study shows a significantly positive effect of microfinance institutions on the selected indicators such as income, saving, consumption, living standards, medical facilities, decision-making power, political activity, and reducing domestic violence, but not significantly on education or women’s free movement for women’s empowerment. In addition to using descriptive statistics, after joining microfinance institutions, income, saving, and consumption increased by more than 548% compared with before joining the institutions. The findings of this paper can assist policymakers, such as stockholders, non-governmental organizations, and governments, in linking development programs with women.
Implication of the research: In this paper the researcher suggested that the stockholders, donors and government should take action to solve women awareness, support their financial problems, and should design appropriate policy.
Originality/Value: Our work and methodology are novel in the study
