Hadronic final state predictions from CCFM: the hadron-level Monte Carlo generator CASCADE
We discuss a practical formulation of backward evolution for the CCFM
small- evolution equation and show results from its implementation in the
new Monte Carlo event-generator CASCADE.Comment: 20 pages, 8 figure
Higgs-dilaton(radion) system confronting the LHC Higgs data
We consider the Higgs-dilaton(radion) system using the trace of
energy-momentum tensor () with the full Standard Model (SM) gauge
symmetry , and find out
that the resulting phenomenology for the Higgs-dilaton(radion) system is
distinctly different from the earlier studies based on the with
the unbroken subgroup of
. After electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB), the SM Higgs boson
and dilaton(radion) will mix with each other, and there appear two Higgs-like
scalar bosons and the Higgs-dilaton mixing changes the scalar phenomenology in
interesting ways. The signal strengths for the -initiated channels could be
modified significantly compared with the SM predictions due to the QCD scale
anomaly and the Higgs-dilaton(radion) mixing, whereas anomaly contributions are
almost negligible for other channels. We also discuss the self-couplings and
the signal strengths of the GeV scalar boson in various channels and
possible constraints from the extra light/heavy scalar boson. The
Higgs-dilaton(radion) system considered in this work has a number of
distinctive features that could be tested by the upcoming LHC running and at
the ILC.Comment: Minor corrections, including a few new figures, version appearing in

Oscillatory convection in binary mixtures: thermodiffusion, solutal buoyancy, and advection
The role of thermodiffusive generation of concentration fluctuations via the
Soret effect, their contribution to the buoyancy forces that drive convection,
the advective mixing effect of the latter, and the diffusive homogenisation are
compared and elucidated for oscillatory convection. Numerically obtained
solutions of the field equations in the form of spatially extended relaxed
traveling waves, of standing waves, and of the transient growth of standing
waves and their transition to traveling waves are discussed as well as
spatially localized convective states of traveling waves that are surrounded by
the quiescent fluid.Comment: 30 pages, 10 figure
Quantum conductance of homogeneous and inhomogeneous interacting electron systems
We obtain the conductance of a system of electrons connected to leads, within
time-dependent density-functional theory, using a direct relation between the
conductance and the density response function. Corrections to the
non-interacting conductance appear as a consequence of the functional form of
the exchange-correlation kernel at small frequencies and wavevectors. The
simple adiabatic local-density approximation and non-local density-terms in the
kernel both give rise to significant corrections in general. In the homogeneous
electron gas, the former correction remains significant, and leads to a failure
of linear-response theory for densities below a critical value.Comment: for resolution of the here published results see Phys. Rev. B 76,

Organizational paths of commercializing patented inventions: The effects of transaction costs, firm capabilities, and collaborative ties
This study examines the factors affecting modes of commercializing patented inventions using a novel dataset based on a survey of U.S. inventors. We find that technological uncertainty and possessing complementary assets raise the propensity for internal commercialization. We find that R&D collaboration with firms in a horizontal relationship is likely to increase the propensity to license the invention. In addition, the paper shows that macro-level environment conditions that affect exchange conditions, such as technology familiarity, influence the effects of capabilities on governance choice.transaction cost economics; knowledge-based view; collaboration ties; commercialization; innovation; patent
