ARCHITECTURE FOR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION TOWARD IS LEADERSHIP EDUCATION: CHALLENGES AND EFFECTIVENESS

This panel is related to the education for the practice of IS Leadership roles in Digital Transformation within a given framework of Digital Strategy and Enterprise Architecture. As members of education and collaborative research teams that have been studying and teaching the correct direction of IS leadership roles in Digital Transformation in global enterprises while applying Digital Enterprise Architecture (DEA) Framework – the “Adaptive Integrated Digital Architecture Framework (AIDAF)” with DEA Cube Framework, because the above roles have difficulties and a number of risks especially during Digital Transformation. Thus, the panelists will discuss and debate the theory, practice, and extent of educator’s precise guidance and considerations when performing the aforementioned leadership roles and studying their accurate directions during Digital Transformation. This panel of senior IS educators and researchers with industry experience will discuss the challenges and effectiveness of “Architecture for Digital Transformation Toward IS Leadership Education” for the new era of Digital IT

Smartphone Screen Integrated Optical Breathalyzer

RÉSUMÉ: One third of fatal car accidents and so many tragedies are due to alcohol abuse. These sad numbers could be mitigated if everyone had access to a breathalyzer anytime and anywhere. Having a breathalyzer built into a phone or wearable technology could be the way to get around reluctance to carry a separate device. With this goal, we propose an inexpensive breathalyzer that could be integrated in the screens of mobile devices. Our technology is based on the evaporation rate of the fog produced by the breath on the phone screen, which increases with increasing breath alcohol content. The device simply uses a photodiode placed on the side of the screen to measure the signature of the scattered light intensity from the phone display that is guided through the stress layer of the Gorilla glass screen. A part of the display light is coupled to the stress layer via the evanescent field induced at the edge of the breath microdroplets. We demonstrate that the intensity signature measured at the detector can be linked to blood alcohol content. We fabricated a prototype in a smartphone case powered by the phone’s battery, controlled by an application installed on the smartphone, and tested it in real-world environments. Limitations and future work toward a fully operational device are discussed

Combined results on b-hadron production rates and decay properties

Combined results on b-hadron lifetimes, b-hadron production rates, B^0_d - \bar{B^0_d} and B^0_S - \bar{B^0_s} oscillations, the decay width difference between the mass eigenstates of the B^0_s - \bar{B^0_s} system, the average number of c and \bar{c} quarks in b-hadron decays, and searches for CP violation in the B^0_d - \bar{B-0_d} system are presented. They have been obtained from published and preliminary measurements available in Summer 2000 from the ALEPH, CDF, DELPHI, L3, OPAL and SLD Collaborations. These results have been used to determine the parameters of the CKM unitarity triangle

Combined results on b-hadron production rates, lifetimes, oscillations and semileptonic decays

Combined results on b-hadron lifetimes, b-hadron production rates, B&0_d - Bbar^0_d and B^0_s - Bbar^0_s oscillations, the decay width difference between the mass eigenstates of the B^s0_s - Bbar^0_s system, and the values of the CK

Search for dark matter produced in association with bottom or top quarks in √s = 13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

A search for weakly interacting massive particle dark matter produced in association with bottom or top quarks is presented. Final states containing third-generation quarks and miss- ing transverse momentum are considered. The analysis uses 36.1 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at √s = 13 TeV in 2015 and 2016. No significant excess of events above the estimated backgrounds is observed. The results are in- terpreted in the framework of simplified models of spin-0 dark-matter mediators. For colour- neutral spin-0 mediators produced in association with top quarks and decaying into a pair of dark-matter particles, mediator masses below 50 GeV are excluded assuming a dark-matter candidate mass of 1 GeV and unitary couplings. For scalar and pseudoscalar mediators produced in association with bottom quarks, the search sets limits on the production cross- section of 300 times the predicted rate for mediators with masses between 10 and 50 GeV and assuming a dark-matter mass of 1 GeV and unitary coupling. Constraints on colour- charged scalar simplified models are also presented. Assuming a dark-matter particle mass of 35 GeV, mediator particles with mass below 1.1 TeV are excluded for couplings yielding a dark-matter relic density consistent with measurements
