We study the scenario that conformal dynamics leads to metastable supersymmetry breaking vacua. At a high energy scale, the superpotential is not R-symmetric, and has a supersymmetric minimum. However, conformal dynamics suppresses several operators along renormalization group flow toward the infrared fixed point. Then we can find an approximately R-symmetric superpotential, which has a metasta...

This paper presents the development of a new approach, based on wavelet spectrum analysis, for the detection of breaking waves in a time series of surface wave fluctuations. The approach is shown to be capable of producing equivalent wave breaking statistics as field measurements based on detection of whitecaps at a fixed point of observation. This wavelet-based approach is applicable to both d...

A five-dimensional SU(5) grand unified theory is constructed on the orbifold S/Z2, with gauge symmetry breaking accomplished by a background gauge field. The theory is shown to be equivalent to one with gauge symmetry breaking by orbifold boundary conditions — the two pictures are related by a non-periodic gauge transformation. This effective field theory possesses localized explicit breaking o...

Symmetry-breaking in a quantum system often leads to complex emergent behavior. In bilayer graphene (BLG), an electric field applied perpendicular to the basal plane breaks the inversion symmetry of the lattice, opening a band gap at the charge neutrality point. In a quantizing magnetic field, electron interactions can cause spontaneous symmetry-breaking within the spin and valley degrees of fr...

In this paper we study a family of discrete configuration spaces, the so-called protocol complexes, which are of utmost importance in theoretical distributed computing. Specifically, we consider questions of the existance of compliant binary labelings on the vertices of iterated standard chromatic subdivisions of an n-simplex. The existance of such labelings is equivalent to the existance of di...

The food and feed sector requires new sustainable sources of protein innovative solutions for upcycling waste (former foodstuffs), which today is downcycled into energy or even wasted. This study aimed at evaluating the use former foodstuff streams as substrate Hermetia illucens (L.) larvae (black soldier fly larvae, BSFL) under long-term semi-industrial conditions. Different foodstuff-based mi...

The production of insect protein as human food and livestock feed (entomophagy) may provide a more environmentally beneficial alternative to traditional animal agriculture. However, the resulting waste product from has resulted in large accumulations left-over substrate frass. Due its nutrient microbial profile, this potential be utilised biofertiliser for high value crop production. Studies ha...

Ultisol soils i s a kind that experiences problems due to high acidity and Al saturation, low nutrient, organic matter content, are sensitive erosion. Therefore, alternative efforts need be made overcome this, one of which is using Frass fertilizer from Black Soldier Fly fly larvae. the result bioconversion as by-product rearing BSF larvae contains large number nutrients useful for plants also ...

Between 8 and 15 million tons of spent coffee grounds (SCG) are produced as global waste each year. To reduce to landfill, SCG proposed a carbon nutrient source for degraded soils. contain caffeine other toxins that inhibit plant growth. However, they also repel slugs snails. We examined whether partial decomposition can neutralize promote growth while maintaining anti-herbivore properties. age...
