\section{Introduction}
The scale at which gravity becomes strong could be lowered as much as TeV scale which is much below the naively expected one (the reduced Planck mass) $\sim 10^{18}$ GeV. It is because a large non-minimal coupling of a single scalar field or Kaluza-Klein(KK) gravitons contribute to the renormalization group(RG) running of the reduced Planck mass~\cite{Atkins:2010eq,Atkins:2010re}. Moreover it is also well-known that the strong gravity scale could be different from the unitarity violation scale in linearized General Relativity coupled to matter~\cite{Han:2004wt}.

One important lesson from these recent studies is that the huge number of KK gravitons becomes a common source that lowers both of the scales, the strong gravity scale and the unitarity violation scale. For instance, in the large extra-dimensional model~\cite{ArkaniHamed:1998rs,Antoniadis:1998ig,Randall:1999ee}\footnote{The large extra dimension is introduced in order to solve the hierarchy problem by trading it for geometrical prescriptions such as the AdS geometry with a warping factor.} there exist $10^{32}$ KK gravitons. The low scale quantum gravity is expected and the unitarity violation occurs at a few hundred GeV. Therefore it is an appropriate time to question whether other sources like KK gravitons exist or not, and how they affect both of the scales. Keeping it in mind we focus on the gauge-Higgs unified(GHU) models~\cite{Manton:1979kb}\footnote{The electroweak scale is protected by a higher dimensional gauge symmetry.}, which naturally provide the KK gauge, KK scalar bosons (and KK fermions if bulk fermions are allowed). We show later that they can really change both of the scales depending on the number of extra dimensions $d$.

On the one hand, the $d$ is a crucial parameter in the GHU models. It constrains the structure of quartic terms of scalar potential.\footnote{The tree-level quadratic terms are also prohibited due to the shift symmetry. See ref.~\cite{Manton:1979kb} for one explicit example to generate quadratic terms in the monopole background.}
In the $d=1$, any quartic terms can not be generated at the tree-level in the scalar potential, while in the $d \geq 2$, tree-level quartic terms can be
naturally generated from the commutators of zero
modes in the field strength~\cite{Chang:2012iq}.
On the other hand, the $d$ significantly changes the total number of KK states. These increased KK states can lower the scale at which unitarity violates in the calculation of tree-level unitarity. More specifically, the partial-wave amplitude for a 2 $\rightarrow$ 2 elastic scattering~\cite{Han:2004wt} via s-channel graviton exchange is given by
\begin{equation}
a_2=-\frac{1}{40}G_N E_{CM}^2\, N~,\label{eq:Amplitude2}
\end{equation}
where $N \equiv \big(\frac{1}{3} N_S + N_F +4 N_V \big)$, and $N_S$, $N_F$, and $N_V$ are the number of real scalars, fermions and vector fields in the given model, respectively. Thus, the unitarity bound derived by $|\textrm{Re}~ a_J| \leq 1/2$ shows strong dependence on the total number of the KK states.

Generally there are two fundamental energy scales in the GHU models. As easily anticipated, one is the compactification scale$(\mathrm{M_C} \equiv 1/R)$ of extra dimensions, and the other one is the theory cutoff$(\Lambda_{\,\mathrm{CUTOFF}})$ from the effective field theory point of view.\footnote{Various experiments have been performed in order to search for deviations from Newton's law of gravitation,
$V(r)=-G_N \frac{m_1 m_2}{r} \big[ 1 + \alpha e^{-r/ \alpha} \big]~$.
See the ref.\,\cite{Adelberger:2009zz} for detailed explanation about experiments and current constraints for the compactification radius and scale.}\,\footnote{From now on, we assume that all extra dimensions have the same radius $\sim R$.}
In this letter we introduce one more scale parameter$(\Lambda_{\,\mathrm{UNIT}})$ reflecting the unitarity violation scale. Because of the hierarchy between the $\Lambda_{\,\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ and the $\Lambda_{\,\mathrm{UNIT}}$ there may be some debate. We simply discuss it in the last part of Sec. II.

As two interesting benchmark models, we consider $\mathrm{GHU_{\mathrm{SM}}}$ and $\mathrm{GHU_{\mathrm{MSSM}}}$ which have the zero modes corresponding to the particle content of the Standard Model(SM) and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model(MSSM), respectively. We find that the strong gravity scale could be lowered as much as a few hundred TeV. We also find that the supersymmetry not only make the maximum compactification scales of the extra dimensions converge into one special scale near Planck scale irrespectively of $d$, but also help to remove discordance between the strong gravity scale and the unitarity violation scale.

This paper is organized as follows. In Sec. II we briefly introduce the model, and show how to obtain these two scales $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ and $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}$. Next we consider aforementioned two models, $\mathrm{GHU_{\mathrm{SM}}}$ and $\mathrm{GHU_{\mathrm{MSSM}}}$ in order to show model-dependent results. Finally we analyze their numerical results, and discuss several scenarios depending on hierarchical patterns among three scales $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$, $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}$, and $\mathrm{M_C}$. In Sec. III we summarize our paper.

\section{Model and fundamental energy scales}
The Lagrangian of linearized General Relativity coupled to particle content of the GHU model is given by
\begin{eqnarray}
S &=& \int d^{4}x\, \sqrt{-\,g} ~
\Big[ \frac{1}{16\pi G_N} (-2\lambda + R) \nonumber \\
&+& \Bigg( \frac{1}{2}g^{\mu\nu}\partial_{\mu}\phi^{\dagger}\partial_{\nu}\phi + \xi R \phi^2 + e\, \bar{\psi}i\gamma^{\mu}D_{\mu}\psi+\frac{1}{4}F_{\mu\nu}F^{\mu\nu}
\Bigg) \Big],
\end{eqnarray}
where $g$ is the determinant of the metric $g_{\mu \nu}$, $\lambda$ is the cosmological constant,
$R$ is the Ricci scalar, and $\xi$ is a free parameter. The scalar, fermion and vector fields in the Lagrangian stand for the typical fields of the GHU model. In particular, we focus on the non-minimal coupling case, $\xi=-1/12$, corresponding to the conformal limit of the theory~\cite{Callan:1970ze}.

Now let us start by considering the s-channel scattering of matter particles via exchange of graviton.
These all amplitudes in the massless limit are represented in Table \ref{tab:table1}.
The partial wave amplitude $a_J$ is extracted from $\mathcal{A}=16\pi \sum_J \, (2J + 1)\, a_J \,d^{\,(J)\,}_{\mu, \mu'}$.
In particular, each $J=0$ and $J=2$ partial wave amplitude can lead to the significant constraints to the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}$ scale and the matter content in the GHU models.
Note that the $J=0$ partial wave amplitude automatically vanishes due to $\xi=-1/12$ from $a_0 \sim (1+12\,\xi)^2$, while the $J=2$ partial waves do not change even if massive KK gravitons are involved~\cite{Atkins:2010re}.

As aforementioned, the large number of fields can induce a sizable running of the reduced Plank mass. More specifically, the RG equation for it is given by~\cite{Larsen:1995ax}
\begin{equation}
\overline{M}_P(\mu)^{\,2}=\overline{M}_P(0)^2 -\frac{1}{16\pi^2}\Big(\frac{1}{6}N_l+2\xi N_\xi \Big) \mu^2~,
\end{equation}
where $N_l \equiv \big( N_S+N_F-4N_{V} \big)$, $N_\xi$ is the number of real scalar fields non-minimally coupled to gravity, and $\mu$ is the renormalization scale.
In general, the strong gravity scale is evaluated when the fluctuations at length scale $\mu_{\star}$ is close to the reduced Planck scale $\overline{M}_P(\mu_{\star})$. We regard it as the cutoff $(\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}})$ of the GHU models,
\begin{equation}
\mu_{\star}=\frac{\overline{M}_P(0)}{
\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{16\pi^2}\Big(\frac{1}{6}N_l+2\,\xi N_\xi \Big)}}\equiv \Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}} ~.\label{eq:LambdaCUTOFF}
\end{equation}

Before we discuss it in detail, it is worthwhile to mention an interesting relation which is induced by the boundary conditions on compact extra dimensions,
\footnote{Here we assume that $A_\mu\,(\mu=0, 1, 2, 3)$ and $A_i\,(i=5,6, \cdots)$ have the opposite boundary conditions of each other.}
\begin{equation}
\mathrm{GHU}~:~\mathcal{I} = N_S^{(0)} + N_V^{(0)}~,
\end{equation}
where superscripts $(0)$ denote zero modes for scalar and vector fields, and $\mathcal{I}$ is the number of generators of the original gauge group $G_M$.
For example, with $G_M=SU(3)$, if $G_M$ is broken into $SU(2)\times U(1)$, then we can have $``\,8 = 4 + (3 + 1)\,"$ relation,
where the $4$ represents the (real) degrees of freedom of the Higgs doublet, and $8$, $3$, and $1$ correspond to the number of generators for each gauge generator of $SU(3)$, $SU(2)$ and $U(1)$, respectively.
Therefore in general, two parameters $N_l^{(0)}$ and $N^{(0)}$ can be given in terms of $N_F^{(0)}$, $N_V^{(0)}$ and $\mathcal{I}$,
\begin{equation}
N_l^{(0)} = \mathcal{I}+N_F^{(0)}-5N_{V}^{(0)} ~,~~ N^{(0)} = \frac{1}{3}\mathcal{I}+N_F^{(0)} +\frac{11}{3} N_V^{(0)} ~.
\end{equation}
Note that they can be used to remove degrees of freedom after fixing the $G_M$ and its branching rule to subgroups.

Again, let us turn back to the theory cutoff. After compactification, the GHU model becomes the 4-dimensional effective field theory with KK states of scalars and vector fields (and fermions if bulk fermions are allowed). Because they have mass spectra that have the same interval such as $1/R^2$, it is natural to assume that the total number of KK states of scalar$(S)$, vector$(V)$ and fermion$(F)$ fields is all the same,\,\footnote{For simplicity, we assume that our bulk space is flat. However in the warped (or curved) extra dimension, we should consider the red-shifted (or blue-shifted) energy spectrum. We do not consider it because it is beyond our present interest.}
\begin{equation}
N^{KK}_S= N^{KK}_V= N^{KK}_F \equiv \mathcal{J}_{KK}~.
\end{equation}
Note that the small differences among $S$, $V$ and $F$ modes due to boundary conditions are negligible because $N^{KK}_{X\, ,Y} \gg \Delta N^{(0)}_{XY}$, where $\Delta N^{(0)}_{XY}\equiv |N^{(0)}_X-N^{(0)}_Y|$ for $X,Y=\{S,V,F\}$. Thus, the cutoff scale in the GHU models is mainly dominated by the $\mathcal{J}_{KK}$ factor because $\mathcal{J}_{KK} \gg N_{\xi}, N_l^{(0)}$,
\begin{eqnarray}
\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}} \sim  \frac{\bar{M}_P(0)}{
\sqrt{1+\mathcal{J}_{KK} N_l^{(0)} / (96 \pi^2)}}~,\label{eq:CUTOFF}
\end{eqnarray}
where the $N_l = \mathcal{J}_{KK}\, N_l^{(0)} = \mathcal{J}_{KK} \big( N_S^{(0)}+N_F^{(0)}-4N_V^{(0)} \big)$.
In addition, the number of KK states with $d$ extra dimensions is easily calculated by
\begin{equation}
\mathcal{J}_{KK} \sim \Big( \frac{\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}}{1/R}\Big)^d=\Big(\frac{\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}}{\mathrm{M_C}}\Big)^d~.\label{def:KK}
\end{equation}
The $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ as a function of $\mathrm{M_C}$ is obtained with the above two relations (neglecting a constant $1$ in a denominator of Eq.\,(\ref{eq:CUTOFF})\,)
\begin{equation}
\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}=\Bigg[\frac{\mathrm{M_C}^d\, \bar{M}^2_P(0)}{N_l^{(0)}/ 96\,\pi^2}\Bigg]^{1/(2+d)}~.
\label{eq:CUTOFF2}
\end{equation}

Note that the $\mathrm{M_{max}}$ may be regarded as the upper bound of $\mathrm{M_C}$ (see the main body).

Numerically, $N_l^{(0)}=1$
for the SM which has $N_S=4$, $N_F=45$ and $N_V=12$. For the MSSM which has two Higgs doublets, $N_S=98$, $N_F=61$ and $N_V=12$, the $N_l^{(0)}=111$. The $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ for $\mathrm{GHU_{\mathrm{SM}}}$ and $\mathrm{GHU_{\mathrm{MSSM}}}$ at the $\mathrm{M_C}=1$ TeV is calculated by
\begin{eqnarray}
&&\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}^{\mathrm{SM}} \sim \Big(5.62\times 10^{(39+3d)}\Big)^{1/(2+d)} \nonumber ~,\\
&&\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}^{\mathrm{MSSM}} \sim \Big(5.06\times 10^{(37+3d)}\Big)^{1/(2+d)}~.
\end{eqnarray}
We present numerical results of the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ for both models in Table \ref{tab:table2}. In Table \ref{tab:table2}, the first column $d$ denotes the number of extra dimensions, and the second and the fourth columns show the cutoff scales at $\mathrm{M_C}=1$ TeV. Interestingly, they show that the strong gravity scale could be much lower than the reduced Planck mass $\sim 10^{18}$ GeV, and it could appear at $10^{5} \sim 10^{13}$ or $10^{14}$ GeV depending on $d=10 \sim 1$. Additionally, the third and the fifth columns denote the maximum $\mathrm{M_C}$ $(\mathrm{M_{max}})$ when the cutoff scale (as a function of $\mathrm{M_C}$) is equal to the reduced Planck mass $\bar{M}_P(\mu=0)$ by varying the $\mathrm{M_C}$ from $10^3$ GeV to $10^{21}$ GeV (see maximum points around vertical lines in both panels in Fig.\,\ref{fig:figure2}).

\caption{$\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ as a function of $\mathrm{M_C}$. The left(right) panel is corresponding to the case of GHU model which has the degrees of freedom of the SM(MSSM). The $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ is regarded as the scale at which gravity becomes strong. It also denotes that the perturbativity of the model breaks down. In the $d=1$ case the strong gravity region is painted yellow. The horizontal(vertical) line denotes the reduced Planck mass at $\mu=0$(the maximum $\mathrm{M_C}\, \equiv \mathrm{M_{max}}$).
Note that a red dashed line is corresponding to the $d=\infty$ case. It divides the $(\mathrm{M_C},\,\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}})$ parameter space into two $\mathrm{M_C} < \Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ (allowed region) and $\mathrm{M_C} > \Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$(forbidden region).
}\label{fig:figure2}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

We also plot the $\Lambda_{\rm{CUTOFF}}$ as a function of $\mathrm{M_C}$ with a fixed number of $d$ in Fig.\,\ref{fig:figure2}. The Left(right) panel is corresponding to the case of $\mathrm{GHU}_{\mathrm{SM}}$  $(\mathrm{GHU}_\mathrm{MSSM})$. In each panel, we choose the $d=1$ case as a reference case. Its strong gravity region is painted yellow. Additionally the horizontal and vertical lines in both panels are used to denote the reduced Planck mass at $\mu=0$ and the $\mathrm{M_{max}}$ when $d=1$, respectively. Note that when $\mathrm{M_C} > \mathrm{M_{max}}$, it seems that the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ can be larger than the horizontal line $\bar{M}_P(\mu=0)$. However, it is not consistent because
the enhancement to the $\bar{M}_P(\mu=0)$ is not allowed due to the constant $1$ in a denominator of Eq.\,(\ref{eq:CUTOFF}).
Finally, the red dashed line in Fig.\,\ref{fig:figure2} is corresponding to the $d=\infty$ case. It divides the $(\mathrm{M_C},\,\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}})$ parameter space into the $\mathrm{M_C} < \Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ region(allowed region) and the $\mathrm{M_C} > \Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ region(forbidden region).

We find two interesting facts from the above numerical analysis. Firstly, there exists a tension between $d$ and $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$, that is to say, when the $d$ increases, the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ drastically decreases, and vice-verse. Interestingly, the $d=10$ case shows that the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ could be lowered to a few hundred TeV at $M_C = 1$ TeV.\footnote{On the other hand, it implies that the $d > 10$ case could be excluded from negative experimental data about the low scale quantum gravity below a few hundred TeV in gravitational and collider experiments.}  Secondly, as the number of zero modes increases (for example, $N^{(0)}_{SM}\,$ of the SM $\rightarrow$ $N^{(0)}_{MSSM}\,$ of the MSSM), it seems that the maximum compactification scales $(\mathrm{M_{max}})$ quickly converge into one special scale (see around the vertical line in the right panel in Fig.\,\ref{fig:figure2}).
It is very intriguing that any $\mathrm{GHU}_{\mathrm{MSSM}}$  with an arbitrary $d$ finally has one common $\mathrm{M_{max}}$ near the reduced Planck mass. Actually, we find that all lines meet at one scale near Planck scale (from now on, let us call it $``M_{O}"$ or equivalently $``R_0"$ as one common compactification radius).
It may mean that all extra dimensions emerge with the same radius near Planck scale, while the extra dimensions which have $\mathrm{M_C} > M_O$ or $R < R_0$ rapidly dissolve in the strong gravity region. In this sense, we may say that all compactification radii of extra dimensions are unified at $M_O$. Note that this situation is analogous to the unification of gauge couplings in the MSSM. Therefore, the supersymmetry could not only unify the gauge couplings but also unify all radii of extra dimensions into the $R_0$ near Planck scale.

Now let us turn out our attention into the $J=2$ partial wave amplitude. Because it has additional overall factors due to the degrees of freedom of KK states $\big($see Eq.\,(\ref{eq:Amplitude2}) for the original amplitude $\big)$, it has this general form of
\begin{equation}
a_2=-\frac{1}{40}G_N E_{CM}^2 \mathcal{J}_{KK}^{G} \mathcal{J}_{KK} N^{(0)}~,
\end{equation}
where $\mathcal{J}_{KK}^{G}$ is the total number of KK gravitons, and $N^{(0)}=\big(\frac{1}{3} N_S^{(0)} + N_F^{(0)} +4 N_V^{(0)} \big)$.
For one instructive example, let us consider the large extra dimensions scenario
where the gravitons propagate in the bulk, while all matter and gauge fields are confined to the 3-dimensional membrane. In this case we have the $\mathcal{J}_{KK}^{G} = 10^{\,32}$ and the $\mathcal{J}_{KK}=1$~\cite{Atkins:2010eq,Atkins:2010re}.
By applying the unitarity condition $|a_2| \leq 1/2$, the energy scale at which
tree-level unitarity violates is given by
\begin{equation}
E_{CM}^2 = \frac{20}{G_N\,N^{(0)}} \frac{1}{\mathcal{J}_{KK}^{G}\,\mathcal{J}_{KK}} = \frac{E_{CM}^{(0)~2}}{\mathcal{J}_{KK}^{G}\,\mathcal{J}_{KK}}~~ \label{eq:Lambda_UNIT}
\end{equation}
where $E_{CM}^{(0)~2} \equiv 20 (G_N\,N^{(0)})^{-1}$.
Numerically, $E_{CM}^{(0)} \approx 6 \times 10^{18}$ GeV for the SM, and $E_{CM}^{(0)} \approx 4 \times 10^{18}$ GeV for the MSSM.
The unitarity violation in the large extra dimensions scenario thus occurs at the $E_{CM}$,
\begin{eqnarray}
&&\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}^{\mathrm{\,SM}}\equiv E_{CM} \sim \sqrt{\frac{(6 \times 10^{18})^2}{ 10^{32} \times 1}} = 600~\mathrm{GeV}~,\nonumber \\
&&\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}^{\mathrm{MSSM}} \sim  400~\mathrm{GeV}~,
\end{eqnarray}
Note that they are approximate estimates due to the massless limit of KK gravitons (See Ref. \cite{Atkins:2010re} for more exact numbers). Similarly, many KK states of scalar, vector and fermion fields in the context of GHU models behave like KK gravitons when considering the theory cutoff and the unitarity. As aforementioned, we introduce another parameter $\Lambda_{\,\mathrm{UNIT}}$ reflecting the unitarity violation scale.
Because the $N_{KK}$ is in inverse proportion to $\mathrm{M_C}$ (see Eq.\;(\ref{eq:Lambda_UNIT})), the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}\equiv E_{CM}$ is proportional to $\mathrm{M_C}$. Namely, if the $\mathrm{M_C}$ increases, the number of KK states decreases and it can raise the scale of unitarity violation, while if the $\mathrm{M_C}$ decreases, then the $N_{KK}$ increases and the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}$ decreases.
Numerically, if we take $\mathrm{M_C} = 1$ TeV with $d=1$, then $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}^\mathrm{GHU_{\mathrm{SM}}}=1.78 \times 10^{14}$ GeV (see Table \;\ref{tab:table2}) and the number of KK states is
\begin{equation}
\mathcal{J}_{KK} \sim \Bigg(\frac{1.78\times 10^{14}}{10^{3}}\Bigg)^{1}=1.78 \times 10^{11}~.\label{eq:KK}
\end{equation}
We plot the $\mathcal{J}_{KK}$ as a function of $\mathrm{M_C}$ in Fig.\,\ref{fig:figure3} for both $\mathrm{GHU}_{\mathrm{SM}}$(left panel) and $\mathrm{GHU}_{\mathrm{MSSM}}$(right panel). They show that the $\mathcal{J}_{KK}$ drastically decreases as the $\mathrm{M_C}$ increases.

With this $\mathcal{J}_{KK}$, the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}^{\mathrm{GHU_{SM}}}$ is easily calculated by
\begin{equation}
\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}^{\mathrm{GHU_{SM}}} \sim \sqrt{\frac{(6 \times 10^{18})^2}{1.78 \times 10^{11}}} \sim 1.42\times 10^{13} ~\mathrm{GeV}.\label{eq:E_CM}
\end{equation}
It is interesting that the theory cutoff and the unitarity violation scale do not coincide in the $\mathrm{GHU_{SM}}$ ($\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}^{\mathrm{GHU_{SM}}} \neq \Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}^{\mathrm{GHU_{SM}}}$). In the same way, we calculate the $\mathcal{J}_{KK}$ and the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}$ by varying $d$ from 0 to $\infty$. These numerical results are presented in Table \ref{tab:table3}. As the $d$ increases, the $\mathcal{J}_{KK}$ rapidly increase and the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}$
drastically decreases. In particular, the $d=10$ case shows that the unitarity violation scale could be lowered as much as $\sim 10$ TeV similarly to the previous case of the theory cutoff. It is also found that $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}^{\mathrm{GHU_{SM}}} > \Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}^{\mathrm{GHU_{SM}}}$ in the $\mathrm{GHU_{SM}}$, while $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}^{\mathrm{GHU_{MSSM}}} \approx \Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}^{\mathrm{GHU_{MSSM}}}$ in the $\mathrm{GHU_{MSSM}}$. It is thus expected that there is different physics at around $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}$ in each model. In the following subsections, we discuss several scenarios depending on the hierarchical patterns among $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}$, $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$, and $\mathrm{M_C}$.

\subsection{$\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}} > \Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}} $}
The theory enters into the strong interaction region above $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}$ scale because the perturbativity of the model breaks down. The (perturbative) effective field theory remains valid below this scale. However it is not consistent because the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ is already smaller than the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}$.

\subsection{$\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}} < \Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$}
In this case, there exists an intermediate energy gap between the strong gravity scale and the unitarity violation scale $\big($see Fig.\;\ref{fig:figure4}\;(a)$\big)$. In order to make the theory consistent we should assume some mechanism or new physics that can restore the unitarity. Actually, this scenario happens in the $\mathrm{GHU}_{\mathrm{SM}}$. Here the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ is about ten times larger than $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}$ (see Table \ref{tab:table2} and Table \ref{tab:table3}). As one candidate of new physics, the stringy effects may help to remedy the unitarity violation. If it really happens, they may leave some new physics signals at that scale.

\subsection{$\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}} \approx \Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$}
In the $\mathrm{GHU}_{\mathrm{MSSM}}$ case, this scenario is realized $\big($see Fig.~\ref{fig:figure4}~(b)$\big)$. There is no  unnatural discordance between the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}$ and the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ scales. Any new physics is not needed in order to remedy the unitarity violation. It is worthwhile to recall that the zero modes increased by supersymmetry can reduce the gap between the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}$ and the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ scales
due to the reduced $E_{CM}^{(0)}$ and increased KK numbers in the Eq.\,(\ref{eq:Lambda_UNIT}).

\subsection{$\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}} \approx \Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}} \approx \mathrm{M_C}$}
In this scenario, there exists only one new physics scale. It is thus impossible to have any KK states except zero modes because there is no room for them. Whole spectrum consists of all zero modes. Consequently the effective GHU models may not be distinguishable from the SM if there are no additional zero modes.

It is thus expected that there is different physics at around the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}$ scale in each case.}\label{fig:figure4}

\section{Conclusion}
In summary, we have studied the strong gravity scale and the unitarity violation scale in linearized General Relativity coupled to particle content of the GHU model. The KK gauge bosons, KK scalars and KK fermions in the GHU models drastically change both of the scales. In particular we have considered the two interesting benchmark models, $\mathrm{GHU_{\mathrm{SM}}}$ and $\mathrm{GHU_{\mathrm{MSSM}}}$ in order to show model-dependent difference. We have found that the strong gravity scale could be lowered as much as $10^{13}(10^{14})$ GeV in the $\mathrm{GHU_{\mathrm{SM}}}$($\mathrm{GHU_{\mathrm{MSSM}}}$) by taking $\mathrm{M_C}=1$ TeV and $d=1$. It is also shown that these scales are proportional to the inverse of $d$. In the $d=10$ case, they could be lowered up to $10^{5}$ GeV for both of the models.

We have also found that the maximum compactification scales $(\mathrm{M_{max}})$ of extra dimensions quickly converge into one special scale $``M_{O}"$ near Planck scale or equivalently into one common radius $``R_0"$ irrespectively of $d$, when the number of zero modes increases (for example, $N^{(0)}_{\mathrm{SM}} \rightarrow N^{(0)}_{\mathrm{MSSM}})$. It may mean that there is the unification of compactification radii near Planck scale analogously to the unification of gauge couplings in the MSSM. Moreover, it is also interesting that the supersymmetry helps to remove the discordance between the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{UNIT}}$ and the $\Lambda_{\mathrm{CUTOFF}}$ scales. Consequently, it may reveal that the supersymmetry can play another important role in extra dimensions.

Finally, our method can be easily applied to the other extra dimensional models that have these KK states.

Q: gcloud compute command to know current zone of machine I need help in google cloud , I am doing 1 application using google cloud. in google cloud I have 1 instance of windows and google cloud sdk on that. I need one command which will return zone name of that instance.
Note -
I don't need zone list.
I need only that zone name where my instance is running.
thank you in advance.

A: If on the instance itself and you want to get the zone:
gcloud compute instances list --filter="name=('`hostname`')" --format 'csv[no-heading](zone)'

A: tl;dr:
gcloud compute instances list <your instance name> --format 'csv[no-heading](zone)'

. . .
This is doing two things.  The
gcloud compute instances list your-instance-name

part lists all instances with that name, e.g.
NAME                ZONE           MACHINE_TYPE  PREEMPTIBLE INTERNAL_IP    EXTERNAL_IP    STATUS
your-instance-name  europe-west1-c n1-standard-1             1.000.000.001 100.000.000.01 RUNNING

And the
--format 'csv[no-heading](zone)'

part reformats the output to be a table with with headers and only the zone column.  See https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/topic/formats (or gcloud help topic formats) for more information about formatting output.

A: Jeffrey's answer is spot on for using the gcloud command line tool. If you'd rather use the GoogleCloud PowerShell module, the following will get you the uri of the zone:
$zone = (Get-GCEInstance).Where({$_.Name -eq $(hostname)}).Zone

e.g. this might populate $zone with:
https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/my-project-001/zones/us-east1-a

If you just need the end section (and annoyingly, parameters on other cmdlets seem to require only the end section and the uri is not a valid format), you can do:
$zone.Substring($zone.LastIndexOf("/")+1)

to return:
us-east1-a

A: Assuming you have some sort of URL-fetching tool like cURL, you can get the zone name like this:
curl http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/zone -H Metadata-Flavor:Google | cut '-d/' -f4

Home > Parent Blogs > Don't Let the Cold "Freeze" Your Family's Activity Level!
Brrrr….it's cold out there! Sure it's cold outside, but letting the kids hang out in front of the T.V. is not an option when the rates of childhood obesity is reaching an all time high. As a mom of three children, I understand the challenges of keeping my children fit during the cold blistery winter months. I found that there are just 3 simple steps you can follow to ensure a fun filled exercise session on a cold winter day.
I don't know about you, but the simplest way for me to motivate my kids is just getting my Pilates mat out and start stretching. Before I know it, my kids are asking me if they can stretch with me and even inventing their own exercises.
Many times parents tell their kids to do push-ups or run laps to get them moving and even worse, punishment for bad behavior. But if they do not enjoy these activities, children may dread exercising. Keeping exercise fun, will help children get excited about it and lead to establishing lifelong healthy habits.
Many moms are hesitant to take their kids outside for fear they may catch a cold, but that is not completely true. Prevent sickness by dressing your children warmly and recognize the signs of frostbite. Kids (and mom's too), should be bundled up in "gloves, coats and warm socks, along with weather-appropriate footwear"(sheknows.com).
There are many ways to get your kids moving both indoors and outdoors. When playing outdoors, make it fun by setting up relay races complete with prizes. Flashlight tag is a fun game to play in the evenings if the weather is not too unbearable(sheknows.com). Finally, take the kids on a nature walk and spend time talking about how animals survive in the cold.
When it's just too cold to be outdoors, consider hosting a mommy and me Pilates or Yoga session at your house, have a dance contest with your kids (they will love watching you be silly), and lastly create an indoor bootcamp complete with an awards ceremony and a healthy snack afterwards.
These are just a few ideas to get you started, but just remember: Get Motivated, Have Fun, and Keep warm!

We live in a great being – a body, a mind, a soul – an infinite intelligence that is sentient and creative. The spectrum of its existence extends farther and deeper than we can imagine. The range of its experience exceeds our ability to fathom, going into places that are so remote that speculating about their nature would serve no practical purpose. In fact, such speculation can only be a distraction and lead us away from any meaningful understanding of God's nature. So, it is most practical for us to start at the center of our experience and work outward from there, and the center of our experience is the Sun.
In our scientific age, we tend to reduce everything to its material substance. Even consciousness is regarded as the product of the brain, having no existence except within the cranium of the individual. When someone mystically inclined claims to experience consciousness in nature, science calls it "projection"—merely the imagination seeking evidence of a greater life, but in its zeal seeing only its own reflection. This is the conditioning of the scientific age in which we live. But in reality, nothing could be further from the truth.
The Sun is the center of our life. Within its gravity well exist all of the patterns we know, all of the intelligence, all of the motive force and animating energies of every living thing. The planetary bodies surrounding it in space are the organs of its body, a body that extends out to the farthest reaches of the heliosphere. The space within its skin is filled with complex dynamics, both visible and invisible, and every one of these is reflected within the boundaries of our body, each of our organs corresponding to the planets. Microcosm and Macrocosm.
Where the scientist sees only rocks, ice, and gasses, the mystic sees intelligence and life. It is one thing to admit that all matter vibrates; it is quite another to acknowledge that the vibrations are the effect of a higher energy, one that is polar to its manifested product. This higher energy is deep and unknowable, beyond words, beyond concepts, and yet more powerful than all the rest combined. It is a negative power, one that pulls everything into being out of its own potential by the sheer force of its knowing.
Science admits that there is "something else," something it cannot see. But in its insistence in making all new data fit into its limited model of materialism, it is blind to this underlying substance. Mystics have known it since the beginning of human awareness. They could discern the movements of its power by the nature of the energies induced within their own psyche. Their minds and bodies were their "scientific instruments," instruments far more sophisticated than the tools we use today, tools that only attempt to replicate the powers of detection we carry around with us right here inside our skin.
It is crucial that we understand the system within which we live. If we do, we will know everything else by extension. "Man, know thyself." The physical body of the Sun is but the first manifestation of the Whole of creation, the organizing principle, the Seat of Power. All things proceed out from the Center, and to the Center return. This is the secret of alchemy, the heart of gnosis, the Philosopher's Stone.
And God said, "Let there be Light!"

Q: Object Values sorting with umulate order I have been trying to sort the json response object array in specific order like if the object contains Umlaute words/characters
object {
  item: 1,
  users: [
   {name: "A", age: "23"},
   {name: "B", age: "24"},
   {name: "Ä", age: "27"}
 ]
}

Expected name sorting is A, Ä and B.
when trying to sort with localecompare().
object.sort(function (a, b) { return a.localeCompare(b); });

Getting the error like object.sort is not a function. Is there anyway to sort the object array.

A: You need to take the property of the object for sorting.

var object = { item: 1, users: [{ name: "A", age: "23" }, { name: "B", age: "24" }, { name: "Ä", age: "27" }] };

object.users.sort(function (a, b) { return a.name.localeCompare(b.name); });

console.log(object);
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }

A: You must apply the sort() function to the array, not the outer object. Objects don't have that method and in the general case key order is not guaranteed, anyways. For "ordered" data always use arrays, not objects!
This is an example that uses the o.users array. The output n is also an array.
NOTE: never abuse reserved keywords as variable names. You use object as a variable name, it is strongly recommended to not do so! I've replaced it with o. Albeit object is not a reserved keyword, Object (with capital O) is. And the two are easily confused.

var o = {
  "item": 1,
  "users": [
    { "name": "A", "age": "23" },
    { "name": "B", "age": "24" },
    { "name": "Ä", "age": "27" }
  ]
};

var n = o.users.sort((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name, "de"));

console.log(n);


The internet can be a hazardous place, nevertheless it is usually even even more hazardous with regards to the pc that you use on a regular most basic, specifically if you perform not down load antivirus software. There will be many websites that you can check out, some of which may have some alternatively skewed motives. In fact some websites provide just to taint your computer system with toxic malware, and if not taken caution of correctly, your pc may possibly closed down – for great.
Also with the free aaana.org malware downloads , there may be an upgrade option that is going to uncover more advanced features. Naturally, this really is optional, but unlocking these extra features can put additional descriptions and can provide to safeguard your laptop a lot better. Intended for some from the more computer system savvy individuals however, only a simple antivirus software will certainly be required.
The question you might own right now however would be what you can do to stop this. The best prevention means of course is usually to download anti-virus software and there are many ways when you can easily go harm to this, but the two primary antivirus categories are paid out and no cost. Each has its very own advantages and cons. The first of all method is the paid out malware computer software . This really is a direction that many people will consider for your quantity of reasons. The primary reason is the fact that that paid out software is often more stable than no cost software. Not like free antivirus software software the paid software will receive explanation updates every day, give real-time coverage and you will be optimized with 24/7 customer support, which usually is absolutely something that the free software program deals are unable to state. Frequently you will end up being able to download this software from the manufacturer, however, you could tend to purchase a encased copy in stores in cases where you consequently desire.
The free choice is always right now there for those who will not wish to manage annoying a string of serial numbers or update costs. There are numerous no cost antivirus software program plans that work very well and pretty much all you need to do is perform a simple internet search if you wish to find one. Right now there are a few various types that you can use, some of which should not actually require downloading it . Yes, there will be the truth is a lot of ant-virus computer software applications that you can use on the webpage and they'll discover any kind of concerns that the machine may possibly have. Keep in mind however that while they could study, they will may not really actually clean unless you take more actions. This might not really seem entirely fair, nonetheless everyone must make a profit someplace. In addition, a few computer viruses may prohibit you right from heading to the sites that offer no cost virus understand so it is even more complicated to remove many malware .
As you can watch, the procedure included when ever an individual really wants to down load rated antivirus program can be not really terribly complicated and it won't be long before your computer is definitely completely safeguarded. Most you need to do is make sure you download antivirus security protection software software out of reputable developers, acquire the know-how to use it, and have got a might to take care of machine in top rated shape. Good luck and practice safe surfing !

A Morbid Platformer Where Every Jump Breaks Your Legs
Ian Walker
Gif: Azaan Lambkin (Kotaku)
Platformers are all about jumping, but what happens when your jumps are so powerful that your body literally can't handle them? That's the idea behind Legbreaker, a game about figuring out how to maintain the protagonist's body as they make their way through several sadistic experiments.
Legbreaker's mechanics are simple: the player has a huge jump. One jump results in one broken leg, meaning you get a max of two in each level before being reduced to a crawl. Every room is a mini puzzle, full of gaps and ledges that task the player with deciphering the best way to reach the exit while also weighing how breaking one or both legs will affect their strategy. It's soon revealed, however, that even dragging yourself around with two broken legs has its benefits, since it allows the player to squeeze through small spaces. In later stages, crawling can also be used to cross gaps that would otherwise require a jump.
The experiments that make up Legbreaker's loose narrative eventually expand to include platformer staples like switches, spikes, springs, and movable boxes, each of which provide additional perspective on the jumping mechanic. Since players can't manually control jump height, ceiling spikes necessitate getting to a lower platform before leaping across a gap. Springs can only be used once, meaning they have to be rationed just like regular jumps in order to avoid obstacles. Boxes can be dropped on switches to open doors, but they also provide the additional height necessary to depress the buttons yourself.
Legbreaker's controls can sometimes be a struggle. Moving the character around, even with two intact legs, is clunky and imprecise, a problem that's exacerbated by the jerky cadence of walking with a broken limb. Nothing feels quite as tight as one would want from a platformer—I often found myself flying over edges while trying to inch forward, or missing switches and springs when it looked like I should have hit them dead on. That said, these minor frustrations never really kept me stuck for too long.
Legbreaker is currently available as "pay what you want" on itch.io as part of the Finally Finish Something 2020 game jam, but I felt like I got my money's worth after throwing a few bucks the developer's way. I would love to see this mechanic adapted to a longer game, but even in its current state as the product of a game jam, Legbreaker is a neat little gem, one whose unique mechanics are definitely worth a half hour of your time.

Why would I have something like a period 2 weeks after my "normal"?
After my first baby i have been having a period about every 7weeks-ish.But oout of the blue I got something kinda like a period just about 2 weeks after my regular one. It wasnt as heavy as my norm one. Anyone have any ideas what this might be? ps we arnt trying to get pregnant but if it happens we would be happy with that. So we arnt using B.C.

Russia arrests protesters demanding Alexei Navalny's release
Police detain a man during a protest against the jailing of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in Khabarovsk, 6,100 kilometers (3,800 miles) east of Moscow, Russia, Saturday, Jan. 23, 2021. Photo: AP
MOSCOW: Russian police are arresting protesters demanding the release of top Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny at demonstrations in the country's east and larger unsanctioned rallies are expected later Saturday in Moscow and other major cities.
Navalny, who is President Vladimir Putin's most prominent and durable foe, was arrested on Jan. 17 when he returned to Moscow from Germany, where he had spent five months recovering from a severe nerve-agent poisoning that he blames on the Kremlin.
Authorities say his stay in Germany violated terms of a suspended sentence in a criminal conviction in a case that Navalny says was illegitimate. He is to appear in court in early February to determine if he will serve the 3 1/2-year sentence in prison.
The OVD-Info organization that monitors political detentions said at least 48 people were detained in cities including Vladivostok and Khabarovsk. Organizers in Vladivostok said about 3,000 people turned out for the protest there.
Turnout is likely to be much larger for the afternoon protest planned in Moscow, which the city's mayor and other authorities have warned people against attending.
Moscow police on Thursday arrested three top Navalny associates, two of whom were later jailed for periods of nine and 10 days.

Minister for Better Regulation Matt Kean said Deicorp Pty Ltd was fined $75,000, and Rock Form Group Pty Ltd $127,500 at the Sydney District Court for failing to comply with health and safety laws.
"This worker didn't have the proper safe guards in place and as a result, fell two stories, sustaining horrific injuries including multiple broken ribs, and a fractured leg and ankle," Mr Kean said.
"He underwent surgery and spent almost two weeks recovering in hospital. No one should have to endure an accident like this, especially when it's completely avoidable.
The incident occurred after correct safety measures were not installed by Deicorp, the principal contractor at the site, despite the safety risk being identified.
Rock Form Group Pty Ltd, the formwork contractor at the site, did not conduct an adequate inspection before work commenced where the incident occurred.
"I hope this outcome serves as a strong reminder to all businesses that worker safety should be a top priority," Mr Kean said.
In 2017-18 SafeWork NSW successfully prosecuted 59 businesses for failing to protect the health and safety of its workers.
Deicorp and Rock Form have the right to lodge an appeal.

Pro Tip: Let data drive your direction.
All too often, we want take action based on perceived problems or long held beliefs that certain actions will result in the outcomes we desire. It's important to understand your problem at a deeper level, and data is the best tool you have at your disposal. Data allows you to narrow in and focus, take a deeper dive and discover the root cause to your perceived issue. If you arrive at the root cause correctly, you'll be able to strategize and apply the most appropriate solution.
Sometimes people make changes based on feelings and perceptions. Sometimes people have preconceived notions about problems that may or may not exist (in the absence of data, it's impossible to tell!). With the proper data collection and the proper application of collected data, you should be able to perform a much more concise and focused root cause analysis (RCA). This more focused RCA, in turn, will lead you to more effective and sustainable solutions. Continuous data will also allow you to determined the level of success your solution has had, and adjust accordingly.
Any good solution to any bad problem begins with knowing how bad the problem is (data!), how much you think you can improve it (data!), your RCA (from the data!), and how much you actually improved (data!).
In a Six Sigma setting, we might utilize mini-tab or JMP for data collection, but you don't need special software to get started building your data set. A simple Excel spreadsheet will do nicely, and you can branch out to Pareto charts, scatter or pie charts and/or histograms when you have more experience and more data to work with.

Stem cell microenvironments present complex repertoires of signals to regulate the processes self-renewal and differentiation. There has been considerable progress in studying soluble signals that regulate stem cell function, but comparatively less work has focused on investigating the "solid phase" of the microenvironment, in large part due to experimental complexities in investigating and mimicking the complexity of the extracellular matrix (ECM), cell-cell interactions, and other components. Recent work demonstrates that bioactive, synthetic materials can be harnessed to emulate and thereby study the effects of solid phase, biophysical cues on cell function. By using a modular, bioactive material, we have found that that the matrix modulus or stiffness profoundly impacts neural stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, and mechanistic analysis implicates key mechanotransductive pathways in this process that are important in cell culture and in vivo. Furthermore, immobilization of biochemical signals to the solid phase of a natural niche can lead to nanoscale organization of these signals, and nanostructured biological-polymeric conjugates likewise serve as potent effectors of neural stem and human embryonic stem cell function. Finally, the combinatorial presentation of different matrix motifs from a material can generate synthetic systems capable of supporting the self-renewal and differentiation of both neural stem cells and human embryonic stem cells, thereby enabling the dissection or distillation of the ECM into key individual signals necessary to support stem cell function. Biomimetic materials can thus be employed to study mechanisms by which the solid phase of a stem cell microenvironment regulates cell function, as well as offer safe, scaleable, and robust systems to control stem cells for biomedical application.
In addition to engineering the microenvironment, one can control a cell's behavior by editing its genome. Gene delivery vehicles based on viruses offer a number of advantageous properties, including the potential for safe and efficient gene delivery; however, they face a number of challenges including inefficient delivery to some therapeutically relevant cells such as stem cells. Such shortcomings arguably arise from the fact that viruses did not naturally evolve to be utilized as human therapeutics, and we have thus been developing directed evolution – the iterative generation of large libraries genetic mutants and selection for enhanced properties – as an approach to create new viruses with useful properties. For example, we have evolved adeno-associated virus for enhanced gene delivery to and gene targeting in neural stem cells and human embryonic stem cells. Engineering both extrinsic and intrinsic cues thus provides strong capabilities to study natural mechanisms of stem cell fate regulation, as well as to control these choices for therapeutic applications.


Arsenal are lining up a shock cut-price move for Chelsea outcast Alex as Arsene Wenger looks to strengthen his central defence next month.
Alex has been transfer-listed by Andre Villas-Boas after falling out-of-favour at Stamford Bridge and has been targeted by Juventus.
Wenger is a long-term admirer of the 29-year-old and made two inquiries for Alex in the summer but was rebuffed both times.
However, Arsenal could have more luck in January given his current transfer status.
With Per Mertesacker still trying to adapt to the pace of Premier League football, Wenger is keen on adding more top-flight experience to his back-line.
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is also interested but his first choice remains Bolton's Gary Cahill who is also wanted by Chelsea to replace Alex.
In another twist, Arsenal maintain an interest in Cahill also but will be wary of getting involved in another auction with the player out of contract in the summer.
Arsenal bid £7million for Cahill in the summer but their offer was labelled 'derisory' by Owen Coyle.


Bathurst Resources, the country's biggest coal miner, is expecting production to climb to about 2.6 million tonnes during the next two years.
The firm and partner Talley's Group produced 2.1 million tonnes in latest June year and last week raised its forecast for the current year to 2.4 million on the back of increased domestic and international demand.
In a presentation to investors today, the ASX-listed miner indicated production should beat 2.6 million tonnes in the 2020 financial year on continued demand for coking coal from the partners' Stockton operation on the South Island's West Coast.
Coal there is very low in both ash and phosphorus and improves the performance of other coals it is blended with for smelting.
Demand in the international steel market is expected to remain strong, driven principally by India and South-East Asia, Bathurst says.
Chinese buyers returned to the market as a number of import restrictions eased in the New Year and on-going safety concerns there will limit domestic production there.
"Trade tensions between the US and China will continue to create global uncertainties and a potential global market slowdown," Bathurst said in a presentation slide.
"With Chinese production restrictions in place, prices are likely to remain just shy of US$200" a tonne, free on board.
Bathurst and Talley's, through their BT Mining venture, acquired Stockton and the Rotowaro and Maramarua mines in Waikato from Solid Energy in 2017. Bathurst owns 65 percent of BT and also owns outright open cast mines in Southland and Canterbury and the Buller project, a potential coking coal development near Stockton.
It is forecasting full-year operating earnings of $105 million in the current year, up from its earlier forecast of $75 million and the $93.7 million it reported last year.
Its share of group production would increase to 1.7 million tonnes from almost 1.5 million a year earlier, with both export and domestic sales increasing.
Bathurst is expecting the North Island mines to deliver about 900,000 tonnes to New Zealand Steel, Genesis Energy and Fonterra this year.
Genesis, which operates dual-fuel generation capacity at Huntly, burned the most coal in five years during the December quarter due to low lake levels and tight gas supplies. It supplemented local purchases with coal imports.
Bathurst noted that new contracts enabled the firm to start stripping at the Waipuna West block, a southern extension of Rotowaro.
The firm also has pre-feasibility studies underway at Ruawaro, north-west of the current Rotowaro operation. Subject to go-ahead this year and consenting, development there, development could begin in 2022, according to its presentation.
The shares rose 4.2 percent, or 0.5 Australian cents, to 12.5 cents on the ASX in afternoon trading.

TECH TALK: Lions, Tigers and Mail Oh My!
"Lions, tigers and bears oh my" is a reference to my favorite film of all time, The Wizard of OZ. It's a film that's not so popular in Nepal, although with it's tag line "There's no place like home," I am always surprised that so many Nepalese have not yet adopted this classic as their own. But what has this to do with Tech you ask? The Lion has arrived, that's what.
Apple's newest incarnation of its famed operating system, OSX, is now for sale on the App Store for just $29.99 USD, and is downloaded and installed just like any other app. Tagged "Lion" (as opposed to the current version called Snow Leopard), this incarnation of large cat is billed as the "The World's Most Advanced Desktop Operating System Advances Even Further," and this review answers your question, "Does it really now?"
First, I've been using an advanced copy on all of my Macs for several weeks now, and I am glad to report that the upgrade is rock solid, no problems whatsoever with the new version. However, many of your favorite apps running fine right now in Snow Leopard, may need minor updating to run smoothly in Lion. And then there may be an app or two that just won't run at all. For a list of these problem apps, just go to www.roaringapps.com to check out apps known to work well, somewhat, or not at all.
The major changes this time around, from OSX versions 10.6.8 (last update to Snow Leopard) to 10.7 (initial release of Lion) are listed on the Apple website in great detail, but after using the new features for a few weeks now, I can tell you which changes matter the most...
First, the much-touted Launchpad is a cruel joke. Launchpad is nothing more then a view of your applications resembling the view of apps you get on your iPhone or iPad. A large display of app icons that you can swipe left and right through, and even organize into "folders" by just dragging one icon onto another. This is the common method of organizing apps on most modern smartphones, but seems quite out of place on the desktop of a laptop or full-blown PC. Lauchpad is a novelty, and I suspect won't make you give up your Dock or Menu Bar anytime soon.
Likewise with the other new and improved interface features, all now accessed via multi-touch gestures, or "swipes" from your trackpad or gestures-enabled input device (Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, etc.) – here you have more novelty: Mission Control combines the old "Spaces" feature with "Expose" so you can easily create custom desktops on the fly, and these are viewed by just doing a reverse three finger pinch. Ok, that's great for demos and showing off, but I've yet to see a user put these alternative ways of dealing with a desktop into daily practice.
On the app level, Lion does do some useful things. For example, now many apps opened can easily switch into full screen mode, instantly hiding everything but the app itself – in just one click. However, this new feature seems to work best with Apple apps, and does not work with many others, for example, no help there with MS Office apps or with Adobe Creative Suite apps, which has it's own method of going full screen.
One new feature that I really appreciate is Resume, where apps pick up right where they left off after being closed and then reopened. We are used to this with our newer web browsers, where after rebooting for example, the webpages that you were viewing are still there after the boot - now, even apps like Pages or Word works just like that. However, once again, some apps like Adobe's do not cooperate.
But the big plus in my book is the improvement to Mail, which has been reworked in a gorgeous and useful way. I don't know about you, but I live in my mail app, and it's central to my personal as well as my business life, so improvements here get noticed. No longer is Apple Mail pure funk, as the new Mail has a side-by-side widescreen view of your mailboxes and messages, with bookmarks, favorites, and a threaded message display unrivaled in the industry, to include Gmail and Outlook. This new look is called Conversations, and shows the progression of email threads in a managed chain, with inline graphics and attachments. In short, marvelous.
Well, there are about 242 more new features, like Auto Save and Versions, but I'll let you explore those on your own. However, in closing, let me say that while Lion does not really roar with innovation and new whiz-bang features, there are several new meows that deserve your attention, and will set the standard in OS operability. So whether you are using some older cat on a Mac, or Windows 7 on a PC, watch for these new features that are bound to be in all future incarnations of operating systems.
Installed it first thing in the morning. The first impressions has been really good. The only thing that took me a while adjusting was the 2 finger swipe up/down scrolling. They have switched to ipad/iphone like (natural) scrolling in Lion.
There also seems to be a small glitch on the way they implement the mission-control interface. Try this: Lauch an application that takes a second or two to load(say Itunes), and immediately switch to mission control. The just-launched application lays over the mission-control, and you can clearly see apple needs a patch to solve this glitch. See it for yourself. (or is it just my mac? Let me know)
Jiggy Gaton says:
Good for u! The swipe direction is an annoyance, but easily fixed back to "normal" by going to system preferences / trackpad and unchecking the "natural direction" box.
On mission control, works fine here, but I find both that and Launchpad useless - it's just eyecandy to attract the masses. Cheers!

Packaged pani puri as progress
A few years ago at the TV Critics Association press tour my friend Neal asked NBC head Jeff Zucker why there weren't any South Asians on ER. Anyone who has been to a hospital knows that they're full of South Asians. Zucker replied that Ming Na was on ER. Na is Chinese.
Fast forward to today and you have Parminder Nagra on ER. (One of these days they might even get her an Indian love interest.) Ironically, the Alec Baldwin character on 30 Rock (who is the show's Zucker) has a South Asian assistant played by Maulik Pancholy.
South Asians have made it beyond the stereotypical TV and movie roles of brainy computer geeks. You can find South Asian drug dealers (Pancholy in Weeds) and smart slackers (Kal Penn in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle).
Comcast offers Bollywood Movies on Demand. My parents are addicted to Netflix's giant Bollywood selection.
South Asians have made their mark on journalism, too. CNN features two South Asians in prominent roles, with Kiran Chetry anchoring its American Morning newscast and Dr. Sanjay Gupta as its chief medical correspondent. Ali Velshi has a slightly lesser role as a senior business correspondent and host of CNN's Your Money. A research note: CNN's official biographies of the three make no mention of their ethnicities. That in itself is great.
Fareed Zakaria is the editor of Newsweek International and a frequent panelist on This Week with George Stephanopoulos. He is one of the sharpest minds in international relations. My friend Sree Sreenivasan, among many other accomplishments, is the tech reporter for WNBC-TV in New York.
(Hmm… I'm feeling like a slacker all of a sudden.)
Indian influence has extended to the grocery. As India has industrialized and the demand for Indian food in the United States has increased, even ordinary grocery stores like Giant and Cub offer shelf-stable Indian food. My favorites are the shelf-stable vegetable dishes at Trader Joe's. Combine those with the naan from the freezer section and you've got a complete Indian meal. Their pav bhaji lets you sample Indian street food without the stomach difficulties.
There is a downside to all this progress: I don't get as much made-from-scratch home cooking when I visit the parents. Instead of mom soaking and grinding the lentils for dosas, the batter comes from a mix.
The puri for pani puri comes from half way around the world. India's cheap labor and worldwide shipping means that you can buy a kit with 30 puris, filling, and sauce for $3.99 at the Indian grocer. That undercuts the local guy who sells his homemade puris at 20 for $5, without the extras.
But mom knows I don't like the boondi filling for my pani puri and makes my preferred potato filling. There are limits to progress.

Navistar says Ford is using its design.
Seeking at "at least hundreds of millions of dollars", Navistar International Corp. announced June 6 that it has filed a lawsuit against Ford Motor Co. for breach of contract relating to a diesel engine contract involving the Ford F-150 pickup truck.
Navistar said it believes that Ford intends to introduce a new diesel engine that actually was designed by International Truck and Engine Corp., Navistar's principal operating company. In the lawsuit it states that International spent millions of dollars and devoted years of its employees' time to develop a next generation diesel engine named "Lion" for use in vehicles including the F-150 pickup trucks in which Ford had not previously offered diesel engines. Ford agreed that International, which has been the exclusive diesel engine supplier for Ford's heavy-duty pickup trucks since 1979, would manufacture the new diesel engines for Ford in North America.
The lawsuit, filed June 4, is separate from previously reported litigation between the two companies. Earlier this year, Ford filed a lawsuit against Navistar involving 2007 engine pricing and prior period warranty claims on Power Stroke diesel engines. Navistar counter-sued, stating that pricing is consistent with contractual agreements, that the warranty claims are entirely without merit and that Ford has stopped honoring the terms of an agreement under which engines were built. Navistar amended its counter-complaint on May 2 and asked for in excess of $2 billion in damages.
International's operating company recently launched a new 6.4L Power Stroke diesel engine for Ford that meets 2007 emissions standards while increasing performance, durability and fuel economy.

Panasonic's Augmented-Reality HUD Could Be in Cars by 2024
Panasonic Automotive unveiled an augmented-reality HUD that displays lane edges, objects in the road, and other information important to drivers.
The system uses artificial intelligence and shares information with the driver, including determining if something is a vehicle, pedestrian, or a trash can.
Panasonic told Car and Driver this technology is likely to be seen in a 2024 model vehicle.
Augmented reality (AR) is used to place digital information on top of the real world. Mercedes-Benz's MBUX navigation system head-up display (HUD) on the 2021 Mercedes S-class does this with floating arrows to inform the driver where to turn. It's a helpful feature that reduces the need to look away from the road while using navigation. Panasonic Automotive has gone a few steps further with its own AR HUD that it unveiled at the annual CES technology conference.
The Panasonic Automotive AR HUD system uses artificial intelligence (AI) similar to what we've seen used by driver-assistance systems such as the Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta. In addition to showing the road ahead, the system detects and informs the driver about foreign objects, other vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. In a demo video, it even shares the height of an underpass—important information if you're driving a tall vehicle or hauling a tall trailer. Each item is labeled by the system for what Panasonic Automotive calls a "seamless, more engaged, and informed driver experience."
The HUD features eye tracking to project images correctly regardless of where the driver is looking. If it notices that the driver's head has turned, it adjusts the HUD elements being projected in less than 300 milliseconds to compensate. The AI system's navigation feature has to be extremely accurate in order to render the path down the road, arrows of where to turn, and lane markings. Vibration control is also critical. A bumpy road may toss the car and driver around, but according to Panasonic Automotive, the digital icons will continue to stay locked onto their real-world targets.
Advanced optics in the sensors determine what an object is at 33 feet and beyond even in low light and at night. That's coupled with 3D imaging radar that can capture a 180-degree field of view in front of the vehicle at up to nearly 300 feet away, plus laser and holographic technology for 4K-resolution renderings.
All this technology sounds great but doesn't mean much unless there's a real-world product on the way. A Panasonic Automotive spokesperson told Car and Driver that while it cannot say which automaker plans on using the technology, the company anticipates the AR HUD to be integrated into a model year 2024 vehicle.

Without effective time management, your small business can: a) lose clients, b) lose sales and therefore, profits, c) become an inefficient venture and d) be considered as a total waste of your efforts and… well, time.
So, what essential time management tools can you use to create a more streamlined and efficient small business?
You are the best and the most essential time management tool for your small business. No matter how expensive or cutting edge the technology you're using, it will all be useless if you yourself do not initiate efforts and follow through.
First, understand what you need to do in order to perform certain actions and goals. If you can avoid certain things to focus on more important things, do so. Second, create your own schedule to manage your time. And third, honor it.
An essential time management tool for small home based businesses is planning. Always plan a day ahead. At the end of each workday, write down all the tasks you need to complete the next day, including those that you were unable to complete that day.
Then, set a time frame. Need to make phone calls? Limit that to about 30 to 35 minutes. Do you need to write an email marketing campaign? Allocate 20 minutes. By setting a deadline and honoring it, you are able to accomplish more within the time period that you have.
Still using your old, trusty purse-sized organizer? If it works for you, then you probably shouldn't ditch it. However, you might want to look at technologies and gadgets that allow you to organize and manage your time. Many of these are designed to work seamlessly with small businesses and are considered essential for time management.
Start with your mobile phone. If you don't have a Blackberry, check the features on the unit that you have. Some of the newest releases have user-friendly calendars that you can use to mark important dates and appointments. You can even create a to-do list and use an alarm feature to alert you of tasks that are due.
Check if the application works with your computer so you can update any time and never miss an important task. With time management tools such as these, you can make sure that priorities get your attention first, and ensure you to stick to your planned schedule.
Each time you go out for business or personal errands, use these tools to write down ideas, tasks and other assignments. Very often, throughout the running of your small business, you'll find that there are downtimes when you have nothing else to do. Maximize these times by using time management essentials to identify solutions, solve problems and create new work from home business management ideas.

Левіафан (, Лів'ятан) — газове родовище Левантійського нафтогазоносного басейну на шельфі Левантійського моря, поблизу морського кордону Ізраїлю з Ліваном. Родовище розташоване вза 135 км на захід від Хайфи, за 47 км на південний захід від родовища Тамар. Глибина моря тут становить 1634 м.

31 грудня 2019 року «Хеврат хашмаль» та інші споживачі почали отримувати природний газ з родовища «Левіафан».

Запаси
За оцінками Геологічної служби США об'єм нерозвіданих, технічно видобуваємих запасів родовища становить ≈ 3,454 трильйона м³ природного газу та 1,7 млрд барелів нафти.

Під газовим родовищем, на глибині 5,8 км, як передбачається, знаходиться родовище нафти, потенціал якого, з імовірністю 17 % — 3 млрд барелів. На глибині 7,2 км є шанси (оцінювані в 8 %) виявити ще близько 1,2 млрд барелів нафти.

Історія
Американська нафтова компанія Noble Energy, яка розвідала можливе родовище у червні 2010 р. і оголосила про відкриття 30 грудня того ж року, оцінила сумарні ресурси структури Левіафан в 453 млрд м³ при 50 % -ної достовірності оцінки. Пізніше ці дані отримали підтвердження; таким чином, Левіафан — найбільше з виявлених в 2000-ні роки газових родовищ у світі.

Американський аналітик Джим Фінк висловлює сумнів, що Noble Energy вистачить ресурсів для освоєння такого масштабного проекту.

У січні 2017 року, міністри енергетики Італії, Греції, Ізраїлю та Кіпру зустрілися для обговорення планів по створенню газогону завдовжки близько 2 тис. км від родовищ Левіафан та Афродіта до Греції і Італії; витрати на проект попередньо оцінюються в 5,5-5,7 млрд доларів США і 8 років будівництва, можливі потужності перекачування — в діапазоні 8-16 млрд м³ щорічно.

Терміни освоєння постійно зсуваються через розбіжності між компанією і урядом держави. В середині 2016 року Noble отримала схвалення від міністерства на план розробки родовища. За даними від грудня 2016 року Delek Group заявила план з початком видобутку газу в 2019 році.

Розташування

В 2010 році Ліван заявив, що північна частина родовища знаходиться в його територіальних водах, Ізраїль заперечує цю заяву. Ізраїль і Ліван звернулися в ООН з метою уточнення морських економічних кордонів.. План врегулювання суперечки був підготовлений в 2012 році за участю США.

Споживачі
Станом на 2016 року споживачами газу стануть: нова приватна електростанція в Ізраїлі, станції приватної компанії Edeltech (Ізраїль); підписані 18-річні контракти на поставки. Консорціум, який включає в себе U.S. Noble Energy, підписав контракт на експорт газу в Єгипет з приватною єгипетською фірмою..

На початку 2018 року Єгипет з його 100-мільйонним населенням і сусідня Йорданія уклали Договір про постачання ізраїльського газу, що видобувається у родовищах Левіафан і Тамар.

У листопаді 2018 року Ізраїль підписав угоду з Грецією, Італією та Кіпром про будівництво газогону EastMed потужністю до 20 млрд м³ газу на рік від ізраїльського шельфу через острів Крит і Грецію в Італію.

Stoinis sat out Australia's epic four-wicket win over India in Chandigarh, where the tourists hauled in a target of 359 with 13 balls remaining to push the five-match series to a decider.
The allrounder, one of few locks in the 15-man World Cup squad, suffered the untimely injury while fielding in the third ODI.
Australia currently have no plans to send Stoinis home, suggesting the crack is minor, but it's hard to imagine how he will be passed fit for Wednesday's series decider in Delhi.
Langer and team medicos will be wary of the minor fracture becoming worse, especially with the World Cup to start in less than three months.
However, Sunday's man of the match Ashton Turner arrived at the venue expecting not to play – such was Stoinis' confidence he could pass a fitness test.
"He's a pretty tough bloke, so I thought he'd get up and play and I'd be running drinks again," Turner revealed.
Peter Handscomb suggested Stoinis' return would be a matter of pain management.
"When it's your bottom-hand thumb, it makes it hard to hold the bat," Handscomb said.
Australia start a five-match ODI series against Pakistan in the UAE on March 22.
Stoinis, who has overtaken Mitch Marsh as Australia's premier allrounder in all three formats, was heralded as the opposition's biggest threat by Virat Kohli at the start of the current tour.
The issue of managing Stoinis, one of the few Australians taking part in this year's Indian Premier League, was already a challenge even before his setback.
Stoinis is set to travel to Dubai on Thursday with Australia's ODI squad then rush back to India to join Kohli's IPL team, Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Stoinis will play in the IPL until he is summoned to Brisbane for Australia's World Cup training camp, then fly directly to England.
If Stoinis is picked in both the World Cup and Ashes squad, as is currently expected, he won't be home until September.
