A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1

Extracting Boer-Mulders functions from p+D Drell-Yan processes
No full textWe extract the Boer- Mulders functions of valence and sea quarks in the proton from unpolarized p + D Drell- Yan data measured by the FNAL E866 Collaboration. Using these Boer- Mulders functions, we calculate the cos2 phi asymmetries in unpolarized pp Drell- Yan processes, both for the FNAL E866/ NuSea and the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider experiments. We also estimate the cos2 phi asymmetries in the unpolarized p (P) over bar Drell- Yan processes at GSI.Astronomy & AstrophysicsPhysics, Particles & FieldsSCI(E)37ARTICLE5null7
Hundreds of variants clustered in genomic loci and biological pathways affect human height
No full textMost common human traits and diseases have a polygenic pattern of inheritance: DNA sequence variants at many genetic loci influence the phenotype. Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified more than 600 variants associated with human traits(1), but these typically explain small fractions of phenotypic variation, raising questions about the use of further studies. Here, using 183,727 individuals, we show that hundreds of genetic variants, in at least 180 loci, influence adult height, a highly heritable and classic polygenic trait(2,3). The large number of loci reveals patterns with important implications for genetic studies of common human diseases and traits. First, the 180 loci are not random, but instead are enriched for genes that are connected in biological pathways (P = 0.016) and that underlie skeletal growth defects (P<0.001). Second, the likely causal gene is often located near the most strongly associated variant: in 13 of 21 loci containing a known skeletal growth gene, that gene was closest to the associated variant. Third, at least 19 loci have multiple independently associated variants, suggesting that allelic heterogeneity is a frequent feature of polygenic traits, that comprehensive explorations of already-discovered loci should discover additional variants and that an appreciable fraction of associated loci may have been identified. Fourth, associated variants are enriched for likely functional effects on genes, being over-represented among variants that alter amino-acid structure of proteins and expression levels of nearby genes. Our data explain approximately 10% of the phenotypic variation in height, and we estimate that unidentified common variants of similar effect sizes would increase this figure to approximately 16% of phenotypic variation (approximately 20% of heritable variation). Although additional approaches are needed to dissect the genetic architecture of polygenic human traits fully, our findings indicate that GWA studies can identify large numbers of loci that implicate biologically relevant genes and pathways

Measurements of the decays B-0 -> (D)over-bar(0) p(p)over-bar, B0 -> (D)over-bar*(0) p(p)over-bar, B-0 -> D- p(p)over-bar pi(+), and B-0 -> D*(-) p(p)over-bar pi(+)
No full textWe present measurements of branching fractions of B-0 decays to multibody final states containing protons, based on 232x10(6) Upsilon(4S)-> B (B) over bar decays collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory. We measure the branching fractions B(B-0 ->(D) over bar (0)p (p) over bar)=(1.13 +/- 0.06 +/- 0.08)x10(-4), B(B-0 ->(D) over bar (*0)p (p) over bar)=(1.01 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.09)x10(-4), B(B-0 -> D(-)p (p) over bar pi(+))=(3.38 +/- 0.14 +/- 0.29)x10(-4), and B(B-0 -> D(*-)p (p) over bar pi(+))=(4.81 +/- 0.22 +/- 0.44)x10(-4) where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. We present a search for the charmed pentaquark state, Theta(c)(3100) observed by H1 and put limits on the branching fraction B(B-0 ->Theta(c)(p) over bar pi(+))xB(Theta(c)-> D(*-)p)Theta(c)(p) over bar pi(+))xB(Theta(c)-> D(-)p)< 9x10(-6). Upon investigation of the decay structure of the above four B-0 decay modes, we see an enhancement at low p (p) over bar mass and deviations from phase-space in the (D) over bar(p) over bar and (D) over bar invariant mass spectra
