European Innovation and Knowledge mHealth Hub
The push to use Information and Communication Technologies – specifically mobile technology (or mHealth) – to support healthcare has been driven by the need to find cost-effective ways to overcome two major challenges on the horizon for healthcare in Europe: an ageing population suffering from a rise in chronic diseases and an associated rise in cost for provision of healthcare due to these conditions.
The use of mHealth is of interest to parties looking at ways to overcome these challenges because it enables a shift in focus towards early diagnosis and detection of changes in risk of disease, promotion of health and prevention, and self-management of chronic diseases."
For these reasons, the European mHealth Innovation and Knowledge Hub was established to collect and share national experiences on mHealth and to support countries and regions in setting up large-scale mHealth programmes.
The mHealth Hub aims:
To operationalise an mHealth Innovation Hub for integration into the national health systems in Europe.
To serve as a focal point for expertise on mHealth in the WHO European Region.
To assist countries in implementing mHealth strategies.
To act as facilitator of innovation in mHealth.
To act as an accelerator for the EU Digital Single Market.
To produce Knowledge Tools for health systems and services on NCDs.
To provide a code of ethics for mHealth data.
Over long term, it is expected that the Hub will become an independent and self-sufficient entity, which will keep providing support for countries to scale up their own national mHealth services.
Official project information:
EXPECTED IMPACTS
Creating evidence on health outcomes, quality of life and care efficiency gains in the NCD management by using mHealth solutions.
Enabling mHealth to be deployed in national and regional level health services and to deliver large-scale benefits, first for the selected entities, and later in the rest of Europe.
Becoming the focal point for expertise on mHealth in the EU and identifying and highlighting trends and gaps in policies, standards, regulations, etc. and best practices and barriers to the creation of consistent mHealth infrastructure and strategy.
Unique platform to support innovation in and up-scaling of mHealth by convening cross sector stakeholders (young entrepreneurs, start-ups, governments, technical officers etc.).
Creating synergies with the existing EU platforms of stakeholders such as eHealth network of Member States and also the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (requirement, scope, impact).
What is a HUB
Investment in 'Hubs' ('Knowledge Hubs' or 'Innovation Hubs') allows countries to learn from the practical experiences of their peers, including what pitfalls to avoid, and what practices to adopt. It also allows countries with noteworthy development experiences to share their knowledge to either further refine their own experiences, or to develop meaningful international relationships with other countries wishing to learn from them. Hubs serve as a basis for researchers, project coordinators, experts and technical support teams to develop knowledge, capability and technical expertise in a particular field. The 'Hub' model has proven successful for scaling up solutions to a number of global problems.
The European mHealth Innovation and Knowledge Hub is intended to serve as a mechanism to share success in mHealth across the European region and boost uptake of mHealth solutions amongst national governments. At a high level, the proposed mHealth Hub will have a dual focus on knowledge management & innovation, and on practical implementation (supporting EU member states to launch large-scale mHealth interventions).

A remarkable achievement of the realistic superstring
standard--like models is the successful prediction of the top quark mass,
assuming the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model spectrum below
the string scale.
Recently it was shown that string scale
unification requires the existence of additional matter, in vector--like
representations, at intermediate energy scales and that certain string
models contain the needed representations in their massless spectrum.
I obtain the top, bottom and tau lepton Yukawa couplings in these models,
by calculating tree level string amplitudes, in terms of the
unified gauge coupling and certain
vacuum expectation values that are required for the consistency of the
string models.
Using two--loop renormalization group equations for the gauge and Yukawa
couplings, I study the effect of the intermediate matter thresholds
on the top quark mass prediction.
Agreement with the experimental values of $\alpha_{\rm strong}(M_Z)$,
$\sin^2\theta_W(M_Z)$ and $\alpha^{-1}_{\rm em}(M_Z)$ is imposed.
It is found that the physical top quark mass prediction
is increased to the range
$192-200$ GeV and that the ratio $\lambda_b(M_Z)/\lambda_\tau(M_Z)$
is in agreement with experiment.

One of the intriguing successes of the realistic superstring standard--like
models in the free fermionic formulation is the successful prediction
of the top quark mass. In Ref.~\cite{TOP} the top quark mass was predicted
to be in the mass range
\begin{equation}
m_t\approx175-180~{\rm GeV}~,
\label{topmass1991prediction}
\end{equation}
three years prior to its experimental observation.
Remarkably, this prediction is in agreement with the top quark mass
as observed by the recent CDF and D0 collaborations \cite{CDF}.
In obtaining the top quark mass prediction, it was assumed in Ref.
\cite{TOP} that the spectrum below the string scale is that of the Minimal
Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), i.e. three generations plus
two Higgs doublets. However, it was recently shown \cite{DF} that string
gauge coupling unification requires the existence of intermediate
matter thresholds, beyond the MSSM spectrum. This additional matter
takes the form of additional color triplets and electroweak doublets,
in vector--like representations, with specific weak hypercharge
assignments. Remarkably, the same string standard--like models
that led to the prediction, Eq.\ (1), allow for the existence
of the needed additional states and the required weak hypercharge
assignments, to achieve string scale unification.

In this paper, I investigate the effect of the intermediate
matter thresholds on the top quark mass prediction in the realistic
superstring derived standard--like models.
In these models the top, bottom and tau lepton Yukawa couplings
are calculated by evaluating the string tree level amplitudes
between the vertex operators in the effective conformal
field theory. The Yukawa couplings are obtained in terms of the
unified gauge coupling and certain VEVs that are required for the
consistency of the string models. The gauge and Yukawa couplings
are extrapolated numerically from the string unification scale to low
energies by using the coupled two--loop
supersymmetric Renormalization Group Equations (RGEs), including
the contribution of the extra matter thresholds.
Agreement with $\alpha_{\rm strong}(M_Z)$, $\sin^2\theta_W(M_Z)$ and
$\alpha_{\rm em}(M_Z)$ is imposed. It is found that the
running top quark mass is shifted to $m_t\approx185-190$ GeV
and the physical top quark mass is in the range $192-200$ GeV.
The string models under consideration also predict
$\lambda_b=\lambda_\tau$ at the string unification scale.
Using the same extrapolation, it is found that for a large portion of
the parameter space this prediction is in agreement with the
experimental value of $m_b(M_Z)/m_\tau(M_Z)$.
Thus, I show that LEP precision data for
$\alpha_{\rm strong}$ and $\sin^2\theta_W$ as well as the CDF/D0 top
quark observation and the $b/\tau$ mass relation can all simultaneously be
consistent with the superstring derived standard--like models.
Here I present the main results. A detailed account of
the numerical results and details of the string calculations of the Yukawa
couplings will be given elsewhere \cite{bigpaper}.

One of the fundamental mysteries of the observed fermion mass spectrum is
the large mass splitting between the top quark and the lighter
quarks and leptons. Especially difficult
to understand within the context of the Standard Model,
and its field theoretic
extensions, is the big splitting in the heaviest generation.
The superstring derived standard--like models
suggest a superstring mechanism that explains the suppression of the
lighter quarks and leptons masses relative to the top quark mass.
At the cubic level of the superpotential only $+{2\over3}$ charged
quarks get nonvanishing Yukawa couplings, while the remaining
quarks and leptons get their mass terms from nonrenormalizable
terms. This selection mechanism, between $+{2\over3}$ and
$-{1\over3}$ Yukawa couplings, results from the specific assignments
of boundary conditions that specify the string models.
Due to the horizontal symmetries of the string models,
each of the chiral generations couples at the cubic level to different
doublet Higgs multiplets.
Only one pair of the Higgs doublets remains light at low energies \cite{FM}.
As a result only one nonvanishing mass term, namely
the top quark mass term, remains at low energies. The mass terms
for the lighter quarks and leptons are obtained from nonrenormalizable terms.
The nonrenormalizable terms have the general
form,
\begin{equation}
cgf_if_jh(\phi/M)^{n-3}
\label{generalnonrenoterm}
\end{equation}
where $c$ are the calculable coefficients of the $n^{\rm th}$
order correlators, $g$ is the gauge coupling at the unification scale,
$f_i$, $f_j$ are the quark and lepton fields, $h$ are the light
Higgs representations, and $\phi$ are Standard Model singlets in the
massless spectrum of the string models.
An important property of the superstring standard--like models is the
absence of gauge and gravitational anomalies apart from a single ``anomalous
$U(1)$" symmetry. This anomalous $U(1)_A$ generates a Fayet--Iliopoulos term
that breaks supersymmetry at the Planck scale \cite{DSW}.
Supersymmetry is restored
and $U(1)_A$ is broken by giving VEVs to a set of
Standard Model singlets in the
massless string spectrum along the flat F and D directions \cite{DSW}.
However, as the charge of these singlets must have $Q_A<0$ to cancel
the anomalous
$U(1)$ D--term equation, in  many models a phenomenologically realistic
solution does not exist. The only models that
were found to admit a solution are models which have cubic level
Yukawa couplings only for $+{2\over3}$ charged quarks.
The magnitude of these VEVs is set by the Fayet--Iliopoulos D--term, which
is generated due to the ``anomalous'' $U(1)_A$ at the one--loop level in
string perturbation theory.
Consequently, some of the nonrenormalizable, order $N$ terms,
become effective renormalizable terms
with effective Yukawa couplings, $\lambda=cg(\langle\phi\rangle/M)^{n-3}$.

The superstring standard--like
models are constructed in the free fermionic formulation \cite{freefermions}.
A model is generated by a consistent set of boundary
condition basis vectors.
The physical spectrum is obtained
by applying the generalized GSO projections. Each physical state
is described in terms of vertex operators in the effective
conformal field theory. Quark and lepton mass terms are obtained
by calculating the correlators
\begin{equation}
A_N\sim\langle V_1^fV_2^fV_3^b\cdot\cdot\cdot V_N^b\rangle,
\label{orderncorrelators}
\end{equation}
between the vertex operators.
The nonvanishing correlators must be invariant under all the symmetries
of a given string model and satisfy all the string selection rules.
Consequently, most of the quark and lepton mass terms vanish at
the cubic level of the superpotential. One must then examine whether
potential quark and lepton mass terms can be obtained from
nonrenormalizable terms.

The first five basis vectors consist of the NAHE set,
$\{{\bf 1}, S,b_1,b_2,b_3\}$ \cite{nahe}.
At the level of the NAHE set
the gauge group is $SO(10)\times SO(6)^3\times E_8$, with 48 generations.
The number of generations is reduced to three and the $SO(10)$
gauge group is broken to
$SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)^2$
by adding
to the NAHE set three additional basis vectors, $\{\alpha,\beta,\gamma\}$.
The basis vector that breaks the $SO(2n)$ symmetry to $SU(n)\times U(1)$
must contain half integral boundary conditions for the world--sheet
complex fermions that generate the $SO(10)$ symmetry.
This basis vector plays an important role in the superstring
selection mechanism and will be denoted as the vector $\gamma$.

The two basis vectors $\{{\bf 1},S\}$ produce a model with $N=4$
space--time supersymmetry and $SO(44)$ gauge group.
At this level all of the world--sheet fermions are equivalent.
The NAHE set plus the vector $2\gamma$ divide the world--sheet
fermions into several groups. The six left--moving real fermions,
$\chi^{1,\cdots,6}$ are paired to form three complex fermions
denoted $\chi^{12}$, $\chi^{34}$ and $\chi^{56}$.
The sixteen
right--moving complex fermions $\bar\psi^{1\cdots5}\bar\eta^1,
\bar\eta^2,\bar\eta^3,\bar\phi^{1,\cdots,8}$ produce the observable
and hidden gauge groups, that arise from the sixteen dimensional
compactified space of the heterotic string in ten dimensions.
Finally, the twelve left--moving
$\{y,\omega\}^{1\cdots6}$ and
twelve right--moving $\{{\bar y},\bar\omega\}^{1\cdots6}$ real fermions
correspond to the left/right symmetric internal conformal field
theory of the heterotic string.
The assignment of boundary conditions
in the vector $\gamma$ to this set of internal world--sheet fermions
selects cubic level Yukawa couplings for $+{2\over3}$ or $-{1\over3}$
charged quarks.

Each of the sectors $b_1$, $b_2$ and $b_3$ produce one generation.
Three pairs of electroweak Higgs doublets
$\{h_1, h_2, h_3, {\bar h}_1, {\bar h}_2, {\bar h}_3\}$ are obtained
from the Neveu--Schwarz sector. One or two additional pairs, $\{h_{45},
\bar h_{45}\}$ are
obtained from a combination of the additional basis vectors.
The three boundary condition basis vectors $\{\alpha,\beta,\gamma\}$
break the horizontal $SO(6)^3$ symmetries to factors of $U(1)$s.
Three $U(1)$ symmetries arise from the complex right--moving
fermions $\bar\eta^1$, $\bar\eta^2$, $\bar\eta^3$. Additional horizontal
$U(1)$ symmetries arise by pairing two of the right--moving real
internal fermions $\{{\bar y},{\bar\omega}\}$. For
every right--moving $U(1)$ symmetry, there is a corresponding
left--moving global $U(1)$ symmetry that is obtained by pairing two of the
left--moving real fermions $\{y,\omega\}$. Each of the remaining
world--sheet internal fermions from the set $\{y,\omega\}$ is paired
with a right--moving real internal fermions from the set
$\{{\bar y},{\bar\omega}\}$ to form a Ising model operator.

The assignment of boundary conditions in the basis vector $\gamma$
for the internal world--sheet fermions,
$\{y,\omega\vert{\bar y},{\bar\omega}\}$ selects a cubic level mass term
for $+{2\over3}$ or $-{1\over3}$ charged quarks. For each of the
sectors $b_1$, $b_2$ and $b_3$ the fermionic boundary conditions
select the cubic level Yukawa couplings according to the difference,
\begin{equation}
\Delta_j=\vert\gamma(L_j)-\gamma(R_j)\vert=0,1
\label{updownselectionrule}
\end{equation}
where $\gamma(L_j)/\gamma(R_j)$ are the boundary conditions in the vector
$\gamma$ for the internal world--sheet fermions from the set
$\{y,\omega\vert{\bar y},{\bar\omega}\}$, that are periodic in the vector
$b_j$. If $\Delta_j=1$ then a Yukawa coupling for the $+{2\over3}$ charged
quark from the sector $b_j$ is nonzero and the Yukawa coupling for the
$-{1\over3}$ charged quark vanishes. The opposite occurs if
$\Delta_j=0$. Thus, the states from each of the sectors $b_1$, $b_2$ and
$b_3$ can have a cubic level Yukawa coupling for the $+{2\over3}$ or
$-{1\over3}$ charged quark, but not for both. We can construct string models
in which both $+{2\over3}$ and $-{1\over3}$ charged quarks get a cubic
level mass term. The model of ref. \cite{FNY} is an example of such a model.
By contrast, we can also construct string models in which only
$+{2\over3}$ charged quarks get a nonvanishing cubic level mass term.
The model of ref. \cite{TOP}
is an example of such a model. In Ref. \cite{YUKAWA} this
selection rule is proven by using the string consistency constraints and
Eq.\ (\ref{updownselectionrule})
to show that either the $+{2\over3}$ or the $-{1\over3}$ mass term is
invariant under the $U(1)_j$ symmetry.

Due to the horizontal $U(1)$ symmetries the states from each of the sectors
$b_j$, ($j=1,2,3$) can couple at the cubic level
only to one of the Higgs pairs
$h_j$, $\bar h_j$. This results due to the fact that the states from a sector
$b_j$ and the Higgs doublets $h_j$ and $\bar h_j$ are charged with respect
to one of the horizontal $U(1)_j$, $j=1,2,3$ symmetries.
Therefore, the basis vectors of Ref. \cite{TOP}
lead to the following nonvanishing
cubic level mass terms for the states from the sectors
$b_1$, $b_2$ and $b_3$,
 \begin{equation}
\{{u_{L_i}^c}Q_i{\bar h}_i+{N_{L_i}^c}L_i{\bar h}_i\}~~~~(i=1,2,3),
\label{cubiclevelmassterms}
\end{equation}
where the common normalization factor is obtained by evaluating the
correlators, Eq.\ (\ref{orderncorrelators}), of the $N=3$ order terms in
Eq.\ (\ref{cubiclevelmassterms}), yielding
$A_3=\sqrt{2}g~.$
A very restricted class of standard--like
models with $\Delta_j=1$ for $j=1,2,3$, were found to admit a solution
to the F and D flatness constraints. Consequently, in these models
only $+{2\over3}$ charged quarks obtain a cubic level mass term.
Mass terms for  $-{1\over3}$ charged quarks and for charged leptons
must arise from nonrenormalizable terms. In the model of Ref. \cite{TOP}
the following nonvanishing mass terms are obtained at the
quartic order,
\begin{eqnarray}
W_4=
\{&{d_{L_1}^c}Q_1h_{45}\Phi_1+
   {e_{L_1}^c}L_1h_{45}\Phi_1+\nonumber\\
  &{d_{L_2}^c}Q_2h_{45}{\bar\Phi}_2
+{e_{L_2}^c}L_2h_{45}{\bar\Phi}_2\}.
\label{quarticordermassterms}
\end{eqnarray}
The quartic term coefficients are obtained by calculating the $N=4$
order correlators and are equal to $gI/\sqrt{\pi}M_{\rm Pl}$. $I$ is
a one dimensional complex integral which is evaluated numerically,
$I\approx77.7$.

 From Eq.\ (\ref{quarticordermassterms})
we observe that if some of the Standard Model singlets, that appear
in the quartic order terms, acquire a VEV by the cancelation of the
anomalous $U(1)$ D--term equation, then effective mass terms for the
$-{1\over3}$ quarks and for charged leptons are obtained. At the same
time an analysis of the renormalizable and nonrenormalizable
superpotential suggests that only one pair of Electroweak Higgs doublets
remains light at low energies \cite{FM}. For typical scenarios, those consist
of ${\bar h}_1$ or ${\bar h}_2$ and $h_{45}$.
Because the states from each of the sectors
$b_1$, $b_2$ and $b_3$ can couple only to one of the Higgs pairs, at the
cubic level of the superpotential only one mass term remains.
Therefore, at the cubic level of the superpotential only the
top quark has a nonvanishing mass term.
The top quark Yukawa coupling is therefore given by
\begin{equation}
\lambda_t(M_{\rm string})=g\sqrt2
\label{topyuakawa}
\end{equation}
where $g$ is the gauge coupling at the unification scale.

In ref. \cite{TOP} a solution to the F and D flatness
constraints was found with,
\begin{equation}
\vert\langle{\bar\Phi}_2\rangle\vert^2=
{{g^2}\over{16\pi^2}}{1\over{ 2\alpha^\prime}}
\end{equation}
where $\alpha^\prime$ is the string tension,
$\alpha^\prime={{16\pi}/{g^2M_{pl}^2}}$ \cite{KLN}.
Thus, after
inserting the VEV of ${\bar\Phi}_2$, the effective bottom quark and tau lepton
Yukawa couplings are given by,
\begin{equation}
\lambda_b=\lambda_\tau=0.35g^3.
\label{btauyukawa}
\end{equation}
The top quark mass prediction is obtained by taking
$g\sim{1/{\sqrt2}}$ at the unification scale.
The three Yukawa couplings are run
to the low energy scale by using the MSSM one--loop RGEs. The bottom quark
mass, $m_b(M_Z)$
and the $W$-boson mass, $M_{W}(M_{ W})$
are used to fix the two VEVs, $v_1$ and $v_2$.
Using the relation,
\begin{equation}
m_t\approx\lambda_t(M_Z)\sqrt{{{2M_W^2}\over{g^2_2(M_W)}}-
\left({{m_b(M_Z)}\over{\lambda_b(m_Z)}}\right)^2}\label{topbottommassrelation}
\end{equation}
the top quark mass prediction,
Eq.\ (\ref{topmass1991prediction}), is obtained.

Eq.\ (\ref{topmass1991prediction}) was obtained in ref. \cite{TOP},
assuming the MSSM spectrum below the string unification scale,
$M_{\rm string}\approx g_{\rm string}\times5\times10^{17}$ GeV, where
$g_{\rm string}$ is the gauge coupling at the string unification scale.
However, this assumption results in disagreement with the values
extracted at LEP for $\alpha_{\rm strong}(M_Z)$ and
$\sin^2\theta_W(M_Z)$.
In ref. \cite{DF} it was shown, in a wide range of realistic
free fermionic models, that heavy string threshold corrections,
non-standard hypercharge normalizations,
light SUSY thresholds or intermediate
gauge structure, do not resolve the disagreement with
$\alpha_{\rm strong}(M_Z)$ and $\sin^2\theta_W(M_Z)$.
The problem may be resolved in the superstring derived standard--like models
due to the existence of color triplets and electroweak doublets
from exotic sectors that arise from the additional vectors $\alpha$,
$\beta$ and $\gamma$.
For example, the model of Ref. \cite{GCU} is obtained from the model
of ref. \cite{TOP} by a change of GSO phase that preserves the observable
massless spectrum and interactions. This model contains in its spectrum
two pairs of $(\overline{3},1)_{1/3}$
color triplets with beta-function coefficients $(b_3,b_2,b_1)=(1/2,0,1/5)$,
one pair of $(\overline{3},1)_{1/6}$ triplets with $b_i=(1/2,0,1/20)$,
and three pairs of $(1,2)_{0}$ doublets with $b_i=(0,1/2,0)$.
This particular combination of representations and hypercharge
assignments opens up a sizable window
in which the low-energy data and string unification can
be reconciled.  For example, it is found that if these triplets
all have equal masses in the approximate range
$ 2\times 10^{11} \leq M_3 \leq 7\times 10^{13}$ GeV
with the doublet masses in the corresponding range
$ 9\times 10^{13} \leq M_2 \leq 7\times 10^{14}$ GeV,
then the discrepancy is removed.

This extra matter at intermediate energy scales may also affect the top quark
mass prediction, Eq.\ (\ref{topmass1991prediction}).
To study this effect, I take the
two--loop RGEs for the gauge and Yukawa couplings, including
the contribution of the
extra matter. To account for the dependence of
$M_{\rm string}$ on $g_{\rm string}$,
$M_{\rm string}$ is varied in the range $(3-7)\times10^{17}$ GeV.
The Yukawa couplings at
$M_{\rm string}$ are given by Eqs. (\ref{topyuakawa},\ref{btauyukawa}), and
$g_{\rm string}$ is varied in the range $0.03-0.07$.
The two--loop RGEs are then evolved to the extra doublets and triplets
thresholds. The extra doublet and triplet thresholds are varied in the ranges
$ 1\times 10^{13} \leq M_2 \leq 1\times 10^{16}$ GeV and
$ 9\times 10^{9} \leq M_3 \leq 1\times 10^{12}$ GeV, respectively.
The contribution of each threshold to the $\beta$--function coefficients
is removed in a step approximation. The two--loop RGEs are then evolved to the
approximate top quark mass scale, $m_t\approx175$ GeV.
At this scale the top quark Yukawa coupling and
$\alpha_{\rm strong}(m_t)$ are extracted,
and the contribution of the top quark to the RGEs is removed.
The two--loop RGEs
are then evolved to the $Z$ mass scale and agreement with
the experimental values of $\alpha_{\rm strong}(M_Z)=0.12\pm0.01$,
$\sin^2\theta_W(M_Z)=0.232\pm0.001$
and $\alpha^{-1}_{\rm em}(M_Z)=127.9\pm0.1$ is imposed.
The bottom quark and tau lepton masses, $m_b(m_b)=4.3\pm0.2$ and
		$m_\tau(m_\tau)=1777.1^{+0.4}_{-0.5}$ MeV \cite{expalpha} are
evolved from their physical mass scale to the $Z$--mass scale by using the
three--loop QCD and two--loop QED RGEs \cite{BBO}.
The bottom mass is then used to extract the
running top quark mass, using Eq.\ (\ref{topbottommassrelation}).
The physical top quark mass is given by,
$m_t(physical)=m_t(m_t)(1+{4\over{3\pi}}\alpha_{\rm strong}(m_t))$
where $m_t(m_t)$ is given by Eq.\ (\ref{topbottommassrelation}).
It is found
that the effect of the intermediate matter
thresholds is to push $m_t(m_t)$ to the mass range
$m_t(m_t)\approx185-190$ GeV.
The physical top quark mass is in the interval
\begin{equation}
m_t(physical)\approx 192-200 {\rm GeV},
\end{equation}
which is in agreement with the CDF and D0 results.

 From Eq.\ (\ref{btauyukawa}) we observe that in this model
$\lambda_b=\lambda_\tau$ at the string unification scale.
Consequently, an additional prediction for the mass ratio
\begin{equation}
\lambda_b(M_Z)/\lambda_\tau(M_Z)=m_b(M_Z)/m_\tau(M_Z)
\end{equation}
is obtained.
$\lambda_b$ and $\lambda_\tau$ are extrapolated from the string unification
scale to the $Z$--mass scale using the two--loop RGEs with the intermediate
matter thresholds, as described above. The gauge couplings of
$SU(3)_{\rm color}\times U(1)_{em}$ are then extrapolated to the bottom
quark mass scale. The bottom quark and tau lepton masses are then extrapolated
to the $Z$ mass scale. It is then found that the predicted ratio of
\begin{equation}
\lambda_b(M_Z)/\lambda_\tau(M_Z)\approx1.86-1.98
\end{equation}
is in good agreement with the
extrapolated value of $m_b(M_Z)/m_\tau(M_Z)\approx1.57-1.93$.

In this paper I have shown that LEP precision data for
$\alpha_{\rm strong}$ and $\sin^2\theta_W$ as well as the CDF/D0 top
quark observation and the $b/\tau$ mass relation can all simultaneously be
consistent with
the superstring derived standard--like models. This is achieved if
the additional matter states that are obtained in the string derived models
exist at the appropriate thresholds. It will be of further interest to examine
whether these extra matter states have additional testable predictions
and whether the remaining fermion mass spectrum
can be derived from the superstring standard--like models.
Such work is in progress
and will be reported in future publications.

I have worked with Golden Opportunities since 2010. They are a trustworthy and professional agency. Communications with Heleen and Zach are always extremely helpful and prompt. I could not be happier with the service I have received for the past 3 years through Golden Opportunities. My experience in working with Golden Opportunities has been nothing but positive and I look forward to working with them for many years to come.
We have been working with Golden Opportunities for a number of years now in the process of obtaining our H2A workers for our harvesting business. Heleen and anyone working in her office has always been timely and very professional preparing documents for the initial filing process and recruiting for qualified workers. In addition to the extensive paperwork that they prepare for us they have always gone out of their way to follow through and assist with any problems that arise, even answering phones on weekends and evenings when necessary. Any concerns we have had have always been dealt with as they are as important to them as they are to our business. It is my pleasure to recommend Golden Opportunities to anyone looking for assistance in obtaining H2A workers as we have.
Golden Opportunities had done an excellent job for our company in obtaining seasonal employees for our farming operation. Heleen , Gabe and their team does an excellent job in sourcing people for our farming operation. With allthe increased government regulations , we are very confident in working with Golden Opportunities LLC . The required documents and follow-up paperwork are completed in a timely manner each season.
When we started contacting work placement services, we had no idea what we were doing. The first time we called Golden Opportunities, we felt so at ease. Heleen told us she would walk with us through the whole process and she has done exactly that. Every step of the process was explained before it actually took place which made everything effortless for us. Heleen has been only a phone call away whenever we needed her. When she and her husband were in Georgia, they came by to meet with us in person. My experience with Golden Opportunities and Heleen van Tonder has been wonderful because of the special care Heleen has shown to us. We are thrilled with the employee she matched us with. Looking back, we could not have done it without her. We feel indebted for the concern and care she gave to us and our employee.
The services we have benefitted from on behalf of Golden Opportunities are very satisfactory. You are efficient and respond to our requests in a timely manner. The employees provided to us by Golden Opportunities for four years have been suitable and agreeable for our business. Any time a challenge arose, we felt supported and comforted by your ability to provide a prompt solution. Communication has flown easily allowing the great deal of paperwork to get finished. We gladly recommend Golden Opportunities to others who need overseas workers. Thank you.
We engaged Heleen van Tonder (Golden Opportunities International LLC) in locating an employee from South Africa. Ms. van Tonder is efficient and business-like. She was a true ally through the entire process. The communication process (either by phone, fax or e-mail) was prompt and helpful. She did her best to keep us informed of the status of the potential employee. She did an excellent job in matching our business with an individual with the necessary qualifications. I would not hesitate to use her service again.
What can I say.…… my experience with Golden Opportunities and Amazing Golden Opportunities (SA) after I decided to join them, was only a pleasure. Their high standard and professional manner in which they do business and treat us as clients really appealed to me and I would recommend any person to make use of them. The way everything is presented just makes your visit to the US Consulate so much easier and relaxing. Thanks to Heleen and Celia.
Here is a word of thanks to two ladies, Celia van Heerden (Jeffreysbay, South Africa) and Mrs. Heleen van Tonder (Iowa, USA). I (Stiaan van Zyl), came to the USA in 2006 and in 2007, and I made use of their services to find a job in the America. Both ladies, in my opinion, did a excellent job and was always helpful. The ladies mentioned above and their families, is a privileged to know, and I will without a doubt work with Golden Opportunities International, LLC/Amazing Golden Opportunities in the future if I wanted to come back.
I would like to make use of this opportunity to thank you for your utmost professional and friendly service rendered to us during Andries's application to work abroad. Your willingness to take phone calls (even any time during weekends!!) and then with all that kindness and friendliness!! Your time and trouble put into Andries's application is really appreciated. Your information was excellent and well prepared and your help with the consulate was very professional. Anybody could be a winner if you are standing behind them! Without it, we would never have managed. Thank you, also, that you were prepared to help me with my personal matters without ever expecting repayment. Would you please let Heleen know that we also appreciate all her time and efforts to make a success of Andries's application. And the fact that she made the final phone call all the way from the US really impressed us with your company. May it grow from strength to strength - as it deserves!!! All your help and friendliness is much appreciated. Keep up the good work!!
I want to express how very happy we are with Golden Opportunities International, LLC. Heleen and her team have always helped us with anything that came up with our H2A labor. We will be going on 7 years that we've been working with her. She has gone beyond what we'd expect an agent to go for us. Her motto is "Your Satisfaction is my Inspiration" and that pretty much says it all. I have worked with other agents in the past and have never worked with anyone as honest and as fair as she is. When she calls, it is like talking to a friend. Her office is always on time with our paperwork and explains things so well. They make the application process very easy. She has also brought us excellent people from South Africa to work. I would highly recommend them.
We have been working with employer since 2000 helping them through the process. We would like to help you with your H-2A and H-2B needs.
Your Satisfaction is our Inspiration!

A Swiss man and five Italians who attacked an Italian police officer and set his vehicle alight at an anti-austerity demonstration in Rome were sentenced to six years in prison on Monday, local media reported.
In October 2011, the protestors — currently aged between 28 and 37 — set an armoured Carabinieri police vehicle on fire and pummelled its driver with sticks.
The six protestors were charged with aggravated assault against a police representative, resisting arrest and vandalism.
Their lawyers denounced the jail terms as severe and said they would appeal.


It's happening guys. I've finally succumbed to the new in section on Topshop and seen as it was spring time I thought it was pretty much the most perfect excuse because I had to do a spring haul right?? It was for the good of the people, I can't let my nation down.
Always happy to take one for the team I loaded my basket up, popped it though the checkout. Went on instagram and saw more things I loved, loaded up my basket again, and popped it through the checkout again. Enter huge spring Topshop haul.
I picked out some really cute pieces for my upcoming trips to LA & Dallas which OMG I cannot wait for! Make sure you're following me on instagram so you don't miss my antics. Me and my sister Lauren are taking a road trip out to Palm Springs in a convertible Ford mustang so you just know it's gonna be good. Of course don't worry I'll be documenting it on instagram & youtube too, naturally.
Anyway, holiday bragging and self promotion aside, I actually got some really cute pieces and I can't wait to wear them! I did this like my previous haul that you guys loved which had way more of a lookbook vibe to it because I took the extra time and styled it all up so you can see how I'd wear it and get some spring outfit ideas whilst also getting some shopping inspo! Enjoy! And don't forget to let me know which items are your favourite and which pieces you hate. Though let's be honest, I challenge you to not love each and every piece!
All item's I wear and style up in the haul are linked below including the pieces I purchased from Topshop themselves. I also added all of the sizing info in the description box of this video which you can find over on my youtube channel. BTW don't forget to subscribe whilst you're there for loads more spring content! This next week I have a Primark haul and how to style things to look expensive or basically so they don't look like they're from Primark, and a spring make up look, one of my very first make up videos so make sure you tune in for that!
And of course as with any haul you have to then indulge in a little wishlist for the would have beens. We've all been there, the moment you press confirm order a whole new load of new in pop up all bigger, better and brighter than the load you just ordered. So here's what I now need.

To take the personality type assessment, indicate how well each statement describes you. Choose your answers based on how you really are, not how you would like to be.


The last half a year has flown by and we have met some amazing people, been introduced to some incredible brands and gathered lots of awesome supporters along the way! I just wanted to keep it fresh and let you know what's been going on in the past 6 Months, plans for the future and let you keep up with the awesome journey we're having. Not forgetting to thank each and everyone of you for your awesome support and custom.
When I first decided to take the leap and expand the business; looking for premises – workshop space, I did have a business plan and that was to find a unit, ideally in Malton where I could have a small workshop space. I had looked at a few properties but nothing really got me excited until a friend who worked for FitzWilliam Estate – Malton showed me a 2 story building, it's looked great from the outside and a good location. Soon after I had a viewing which unfortunately after seeing the internals it was going to be too much work.. However there was another property just up the road which Tom wanted to show me. Location was good, not too central and a lovely stone building .. From the outside. I arranged to come back and have a look around this property, with my Dad, Grandad (retired joiner) and friend Will (MWAM Specialist Engineers), it was a shed inside .. And needed a lot of work .. However I was very excited about this building. That empty shell that was, is now the hub to No Limits Cycling, a warm, welcoming bike shop .. Full of goodness!
The first few month were hectic on my own, the workshop was flat out, I had 3 different schools on board which I was coaching at, with a rapidly growing client base for both the shop and MTB coaching. Not that I'm complaining – it was great! I then had a good friend that offering a helping hand, who I also use to work with in the industry – Craig Woodcock, I took him up on his offer and he's now helping out in the workshop. Craig brings a lot to the business, offering a wide knowledge which he has gained over many years in the cycling industry. We now offer everything from replacing an inner tube to complete custom builds, suspension and seat post servicing and wheel building. I am still as busy as ever on the trails, coaching at Dalby Forest and Yorkshire Cycle Hub – Fryup Dale.
We have got some amazing brands on board which we are super proud to be a stockist of. Including, Sweet Protection clothing & Helmets, Burgtec, Hope Technology, Santini Cycling Wear, Giro shoes, Lezyne, Tacx, Vittoria Tyres, Supacaz, KS Suspension, OTE Nutrition, Sram, Campagnolo, Shimano, Stans no tubes, Look pedals. We have also just landed the brand we dream about!!! Which we will be revealing very soon!
Next year we have something very exciting in the pipe line, which we are planning now! Keep your eyes peeled for that one!!!
The ethos behind the company is still the same, we are passionate about biking and want to share that with you all, Mountain Biking is in our blood and always will be! So here's a big thank you to everyone who has visited the shop, booked on a course or just said hi on the trails – You guys are awesome! And when you're next in Malton, call in .. the fire will be lit and the coffee machine will be hot!
For now, I hope you've enjoyed this short read and keep your eyes peeled for our next blog where we will be announcing our latest brand!
Here's some progression and updated shots of the shop!


starstarstarstarstar" Very Good Quality parts and a professional company "
I overhauled my 2002 F150 F4 Supercrew with this kit, replaced the shocks, worn out bearings, seals and linkage components, front and rear etc. The parts in the box were of high quality and the rubber had a nice firm durometer to it. I'm not sure it was equivalent to the OEM parts, but I was looking for a performance upgrade that included stiffer rubber. I installed the parts (and other elements) and now my truck runs better than it did when I purchased it over 10 years ago! Over time, I developed a moderate Bump-Steer issue (back end darts to one side when driving over bumps) that has completely vanished! Not that I would never consider driving above the speed limit, however, when exiting the Pike the other day, I leaned into the cover quite vigorously and my truck ran like it was on a slot car track - smooth, firm and it held tight all the way through the corner! Superb! If your truck has some miles on it and your not ready for an upgrade, I highly recommend a suspension overall that includes ENERGYSUSPENSIONPARTS.COM parts! They ROCK!!
So I have a couple of questions about this kit. So does this kit also include the tie rod end caps for all of the front suspension? And also I'm wanting to order this in red, so how long will it take for me to get this?
This complete kit 62036 does not include the tie rod dust boots. The tie rod dust boots would be Energy kit number 9.13101. It would take 2-3 weeks to get the kit 62036 in red.


I've spent a decent amount of time away from blogging, and for some of it I even kept away from composing. I didn't lose interest, I just became overwhelmed with the birth of my son, Lucas. That is all fine and well, but sadly putting music to the wayside became habit. Was it the lack of projects? Was it the lack of focus? While those played into it, the biggest issue was a lack of goals, and a lack of ways to keep myself accountable.
It's quite easy in the creative world to fall into the trap of waiting for inspiration. The problem is it won't always strike when it's convenient. I've actually found it to prefer times when it's completely inconvenient. If I can't count on inspiration, what can I count on? Well, turns out that organization does wonders.
If I look back to past assignments, it's quite obvious that schedules are amazing tools. Set the times and be there. You may not feel inspired when you start, but going through the motions may just create the inspiration you need. Your most daunting task has all of a sudden become an exciting adventure.
Progress is made and you feel great, all because you set the goal and kept yourself accountable.

Q: Is RewriteEngineOn used only once in httpd.conf or can it be used multiple times? I read that a directory block in httpd.conf is like a .htaccess file. Does that mean that RewriteEngineOn can be used multiple times within httpd.conf? I'm assuming that it can be but it must be placed within directory blocks. Can someone confirm that?

A:
Does that mean that RewriteEngineOn can be used multiple times within httpd.conf?

Yes, that's fine.

I'm assuming that it can be but it must be placed within directory blocks.

No, it's valid in any configuration context, and will inherit down to other contexts - so if you have it enabled at the <VirtualHost>, you don't need it within <Directory> blocks inside that vhost.  The one exception is that it doesn't inherit from the server configuration down into <VirtualHost> (consistency in how configuration applies isn't exactly one of Apache's strengths).

We have CABI 4.1 integrated with Service Desk Manager 14.1. We need to create a report where we can see which assignees has had a ticket and these assignees areas. Something like the image below.
Take a look at this discussion: Is there another way to determine if a ticket has been transferred from the original group?
Using the Audit Log and/or KPI Ticket Data options should allow you capture this information for your reports.
CA SDM stored transferred group and transferred assignee in separated lines in table Act_Log; so I dont think your report is possible.
You can create report with list of all assignees who handled ticket or list of all groups, not both.
Thanks for your helpful comment. Regarding to tour thoughts, How would you bring only all assignees that handled the tickets to a report column?


Oooh! Jonas Blue are a little hit and miss for me, fingers crossed it's great.
Jonas Blue is mostly miss for me.
Oops, this is forgettable on arrival.
Agreed, maybe it will grow but it didn't leave any impression on me really.
It's rather decent but not any better than Rise which was what I was expecting really. Something like Fast Car or By Your Side again would've been great but he's clearly going more pop now.
It's not bad but I think he needs to keep away from features and get some success with just his own name.
They are performing this on X Factor tonight!

Job seeker uses 'sweetener' to get interview
One young law student took careers advice to a whole new level when she approached one of London's top law firms
With so many students graduating into a highly-competitive market, many are turning to quirkier approaches to get noticed
Editorial Team Features, Tuesday 15 March 2016 Jump to Comments(0) 2,529 Views
Recruitment consultants always encourage job seekers to make sure they stand out from the crowd when applying for jobs; however, one young law student took careers advice to a whole new level when she approached one of London's top law firms with her original take on a pitch for work. As a a result, her actions have gone viral and she has been invited for interview, despite the fact there are no current vacancies.
The young would-be lawyer, whose identity has been kept a secret, created quite a social media storm recently when she sent a speculative letter to Slaughter and May, an elite legal firm in the City, asking for a job. She did not only include her CV with the letter but also attached two packets of Haribo confectionery as a 'sweetener' to ensure her letter reached the company's head of marketing.
This was certainly one way to get attention, and it worked. The head of marketing at Slaughter and May, Mary-Anne Anderson, was clearly so impressed that she announced the tactic on LinkedIn and the information has now gone viral. Although there are no current vacancies, she is keen to meet the cheeky young applicant, who sent the sweets via Ms Anderson's secretary.
This innovative young job seeker is not alone in attempting to stand out from the crowd. With so many students graduating into a highly-competitive market, many are turning to quirkier approaches to get noticed.
One young graduate paid for an advert on the back of the fold-down seat in London black cabs, while another sent a speculative letter and an application along with a box of cupcakes with a QR code leading to her website. One young man, who had tried desperately to get an interview after leaving school with A levels, auctioned himself on eBay and has been invited to an interview by John Lewis.
There are several stories about the lengths to which young people with initiative are prepared to go to get themselves into work. Example include the young man who put himself up on a billboard to advertise himself; another who set up a Google ad campaign; a girl who researched the recruiter in a company she wanted to work for and sent her a basket of gourmet chocolates; and the graduate who made an application video and posted it on YouTube. They all got jobs off the back of their stunts, so kudos to their determination.
The more staid advice is still to make sure you have a strong CV and cover letter that tell your story; to develop your presentation skills so you perform well if you are invited for interview; to learn a language to set you apart from other applicants, especially when applying to a multi-national corporation; to make sure you are proficient in IT and up to date with the latest versions of the most common software; and to be able to demonstrate good interpersonal skills.
The more innovative, imaginative and seemingly cheeky approaches have been successful, however, and personal PR cannot be underestimated in a competitive marketplace.
