To the centenary of the birth of outstanding evolutionist Dmitri Konstantinovich Belyaev
No full textThis paper is a tribute to outstanding evolutionary biologist Dmitri Konstantinovich Belyaev in connection with the forthcoming centenary of his birth. His work on variation-related mechanisms in animal domestication made this process much faster. Belyaev is at length described as a person, as a scientist and as the organizer of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The author had for many years worked as Belyaev’s Deputy for Science, and, when Dmitri Konstantinovich passed away, had for 22 years headed the Institute of Cytology and Genetics. Belyaev’s life was not easy: he was a priest’s son and an “enemy of the people”’s brother. He was in the battlefield all through the Great Patriotic War and became a man of steel. His struggle for the restoration of genetics in the country, his commitment to setting up and maintaining relationships between masters and followers and many more other aspects of his life are considered. The global importance of the “master – follower” paradigm as a basis of the continuity of generations is underlined and re-underlined, for this is a very special point in the scientific community, especially when new schools of science emerge
Search for first generation scalar and vector leptoquarks
No full textWe describe a search for the pair production of first-generation scalar and vector leptoquarks in the eejj and eνjj channels by the DØ Collaboration. The data are from the 1992–1996 p¯p run at √s=1.8TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We find no evidence for leptoquark production; in addition, no kinematically interesting events are observed using relaxed selection criteria. The results from the eejj and eνjj channels are combined with those from a previous DØ analysis of the ννjj channel to obtain 95% confidence level (C.L.) upper limits on the leptoquark pair-production cross section as a function of mass and of β, the branching fraction to a charged lepton. These limits are compared to next-to-leading-order theory to set 95% C.L. lower limits on the mass of a first-generation scalar leptoquark of 225, 204, and 79 GeV/c2 for β=1, 12, and 0, respectively. For vector leptoquarks with gauge (Yang-Mills) couplings, 95% C.L. lower limits of 345, 337, and 206 GeV/c2 are set on the mass for β=1, 12, and 0, respectively. Mass limits for vector leptoquarks are also set for anomalous vector couplings
