More about Aggrey and Akori beads
No full textThis contribution is a further continuation of a discussion, begun by Professor Mauny and continued by the present author, into the nature and provenance of the aggrey or akori beads formerly imported into the Gold Coast (i.e. the south of modern Ghana). It considers at length the evidence provided by E.J.P. Brown, a notable Fante personality of the early twentieth century, in his book, The Gold Coast and Asianti Reader (1929), and compares this with some actual bead samples and with linguistic and literary evidence not used in the earlier discussion. This evidence leads to the tentative conclusions that : 1) The original and most prized blue aggrey/akori bead was made of glass ; 2) It was identical with the Yoruba segi bead ; 3) Its import into the Gold Coast may have ceased in the mid nineteenth century ; 4) That its principal place of manufacture may have been Ife, where glass working may also have ceased in the mid nineteenth century.Cette contribution reprend un débat entamé par R. Mauny et poursuivi par l’auteur sur la nature et la provenance des perles aggrey ou akori importées autrefois en Gold Coast (sud du Ghana actuel). On analyse méthodiquement les arguments fournis par E J. P. Brown, un notable Fanti du debut du XXe siècle, dans son livre, The Gold Coast and Asianti Reader (1929) et on les confronte avec des échantillons actuels de perles et avec des preuves linguistiques et littéraires non utilisées dans les discussions antérieures. Cette argumentation permet de proposer les premières conclusions suivantes : 1) L’ancienne perle bleue aggrey/akori, qui était la plus appréciée, était faite en verre ; 2) elle était identique à la perle yoruba segi ; 3) son importation en Gold Coast semble avoir cessé à partir du milieu du XIXe siècle ; 4) son principal lieu de fabrication peut avoir été Ifé où la manufacture du verre peut aussi avoir cessé au milieu du XIXe siècle.Fage John Donnelly.

A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing
No full textIn this latest Advance & Rutgers Report, entitled “A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing,” Dean James W. Hughes and Professor Joseph J. Seneca deliver an incisive assessment of the current market conditions and obstacles in the path of our economic recovery. They offer a statistical cautionary tale that the private and public sector need to hear and acknowledge in order for the economy to make continued progress.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 7, November 2011, in Advance & Rutgers Report
Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
