    No full text
    Supported by accurate quantum-chemical calculations, the rotational spectra of the mono- and bi-deuterated species of fluoroiodomethane, CHDFI and CD2FI, as well as of the 13C-containing species, 13CH2FI, were recorded for the first time. Three different spectrometers were employed, a Fourier-transform microwave spectrometer, a millimeter/submillimter-wave spectrometer, and a THz spectrometer, thus allowing to record a huge portion of the rotational spectrum, from 5 GHz up to 1.05 THz, and to accurately determine the ground-state rotational and centrifugal-distortion constants. Sub-Doppler measurements allowed to resolve the hyperfine structure of the rotational spectrum and to determine the complete iodine quadrupole-coupling tensor as well as the diagonal elements of the iodine spin-rotation tensor. The present investigation of rare isotopic species of CH2FI together with the results previously obtained for the main isotopologue [C. Puzzarini, G. Cazzoli, J. C. López, J. L. Alonso, A. Baldacci, A. Baldan, S. Stopkowicz, L. Cheng, and J. Gauss, J. Chem. Phys. 134, 174312 (2011); G. Cazzoli, A. Baldacci, A. Baldan, and C. Puzzarini, Mol. Phys. 109, 2245 (2011)] enabled us to derive a semi-experimental equilibrium structure for fluoroiodomethane by means of a least-squares fit procedure using the available experimental ground-state rotational constants together with computed vibrational corrections. Problems related to the missing isotopic substitution of fluorine and iodine were overcome thanks to the availability of an accurate theoretical equilibrium geometry (computed at the coupled-cluster singles and doubles level augmented by a perturbative treatment of triple excitations)

    Cheng-Mordeson L-fuzzy normed spaces and application in stability of functional equation

    No full text
    In this paper, we define and study Cheng-Mordeson L-fuzzy normed spaces. Further, we consider the finite dimensional Cheng-Mordeson L-fuzzy normed spaces and prove some theorems about completeness, compactness and weak convergence in these spaces. As application, we get a stability result in the setting of Cheng-Mordeson L-fuzzy normed spaces

    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 text
    First 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)

    DOP-PCR amplification of whole genomic DNA and microchip-based capillary electrophoresis.

    No full text
    Universal or whole genome amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a rapid and efficient method to generate fragments representing the target sequence, as well as to increase a limited amount of template. One of the most common PCR protocols for total genome amplification is the interspersed repetitive sequence-PCR (IRS-PCR) in which primers specific for human repeat-rich regions are used to generate PCR products between adjacent repeated sequences (1). However, although IRS-PCR across regions such as Alu families of human repeat has been demonstrated to be useful, the nonuniform distribution of repeat-rich region within the human genome has been a limitation. Alternative strategies have been proposed. In the primer-extension preamplification (PEP), multiple rounds of extensions with Taq DNA polymerase and a random mixture of 15-base oligonucleotides as primers produce multiple copies of the template present in the sample (2–5). In a more demanding protocol, called linker adaptor-PCR, RsaI restricted genomic DNA fragments are ligated to SmaI-cut pUC plasmid. Subsequently, the inserts are amplified by PCR using the universal M13/pUC sequencing and reverse sequencing primers and then released by EcoRI digestion (6). The tagged random primer PCR (T-PCR) is a two-step PCR strategy which consists of a pool of all possible 3'-sequences for binding to the target DNA and a constant 5'-region for the detection of incorporated primers (7). Recently, degenerate oligonucleotide primed-polymerase chain reaction (DOP-PCR) was developed to allow random amplification of DNA from any source (8–10). DOP-PCR uses a partially degenerate sequence in a PCR protocol with two different annealing temperatures. It has been successfully applied for amplifying entire genomes such as human, mouse, and fruit fly, as well as isolated human chromosomes and cosmids (11). The technique has also been used to prepare whole chromosome paint probes (11,12) for micro-FISH assays (13–15), comparative genomic hybridization (16), to increase the amount of sample for genotyping (17), and genomic fingerprinting (18). The DOP-PCR primer consists of three regions. The 5'-end carries a recognition sequence for XhoI (C•TCGAG), a restriction endonuclease that cuts rarely within the human genome. This sequence can be used for cloning, if desired. The sequence is then followed by a middle portion containing six nucleotides of degenerate sequence (NNNNNN, where N = A, C, G, or T in approximately equal proportions) and a 3'-end sequence containing six specific bases (ATGTGG) which primes the reaction approximately every 4 kb (8,9). The principle of the technique is that at a sufficiently low annealing temperature only the six specific nucleotides included in the 3'-end of the degenerate oligonucleotide will anneal to the genomic strand allowing the primer to initiate PCR. The PCR fragments are then generated which contain the full length of the oligoprimer at one end and its complementary sequence at the other end. Subsequently, the temperature is increased to the level required for the full length of the degenerate primer to anneal. For additional details, we direct the reader to the original papers (8,9). We have adapted the DOP-PCR technique to a three-microchip format (19). DOP-PCR amplified genomic DNA produced in a first silicon-glass chip is transferred to a second chip for a locus-specific, multiplex PCR of the dystrophin gene exons in order to detect deletions causing Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD). Amplicons from the multiplex-PCR are then analyzed by electrophoresis in a third microchip. The analytical performance of the microchip capillary electrophoresis (MCE) is also compared to conventional capillary electrophoresis (CE)
