We examine consequences of the stabilization of the dilaton through the axion. An estimate of the resulting dilaton potential yields a relation between the axion parameter mafPQ and the average instanton radius, and predicts the ratio between the dilaton mass mφ and the axion mass ma. If we identify the string axion with a Peccei–Quinn axion, thenmφmP l ∼ mafPQ, and the dilaton should be strong...

Vidic and Haaf (2004) questioned the idea that infants use head information to categorize cats as distinct from dogs (Quinn & Eimas, 1996) and argued instead that the torso region is important. However, only null results were observed in the critical test comparisons between modified and unmodified stimuli. In addition, a priori preferences for the paired test stimuli were not assessed, thus le...

We introduce Ouroboros, a new Key Exchange protocol based on coding theory. The protocol gathers the best properties of the recent MDPC-McEliece and HQC protocols for the Hamming metric: simplicity of decoding and security reduction, based on a double cyclic structure. This yields a simple, secure and efficient approach for key exchange. We obtain the same type of parameters (and almost the sam...

Abstract We propose UV-completions of Froggatt–Nielsen–Peccei–Quinn models fermion masses and mixings with flavored axions, by incorporating heavy fields. Here, the U (1) Froggatt–Nielsen symmetry is identified Peccei–Quinn to solve strong CP problem along mass hierarchies Standard Model fermions. take into account leading order contributions matrices giving rise Nearest-Neighbour-Interaction s...

When Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) dressed as Lorelei (Marilyn Monroe) from 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes performs “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” in Cathy Yan’s 2020 Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation One Quinn), links drawn between 70 years history and women’s representation on screen. In this article, I put various iterations “Diamonds” into dialogue to explore how momen...

Based on the local support vector algorithm of chaotic time series analysis, the Hannan-Quinn information criterion and SAX symbolization are introduced. Then a novel prediction algorithm is proposed, which is successfully applied to the prediction of wireless network traffic. For the correct prediction problems of short-term flow with smaller data set size, the weakness of the algorithms durin...

Supersymmetric Peccei-Quinn models which provide a suitable candidate for the curvaton field are studied. These models also solve the μ problem, while generating the Peccei-Quinn scale dynamically. The curvaton is a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson corresponding to an angular degree of freedom orthogonal to the axion. Its order parameter increases substantially following a phase transition during i...
