A Small Note on Supreme Court Verdit in The Case of Russel Vince Who Claims The Similarity of Trademark with National Emblem
No full textThis paper is based on research conducted by the author ,at a time when at the time was acted as an expert witness who testified in the trial of the case. There are some authors observe irregularities associated with the judicial process of the lawsuit ” Three Les” in Indonesia. First, the case was related to a previous lawsuit filed by SBS on “ Badak (Rhino) trademark cancellation by the former licensee three legs namely SBS. Second, the plaintiff did not have the right to sue ” Three Legs”trademark registration in Indonesia. Third, this case involves three (3) countries, namely Singapore as the country of origin Wen Ken Drug who trademark owner., Indonesia as a country issued certificate of “Three Legs” on behalf of WKD and Britain as a colonial state Isle of Man is a symbol of the Isle of Man became the object of dispute. The same case has never happened in Indonesia and even possibly in other countries. If the case is not completed correctly will be a bad precedent for trademark enforcement in Indonesia. Keywords: lawsuit, trademark, state symbol or emblem, Three Legs
Higgs boson production cross-section measurements and their EFT interpretation in the 4 ℓ decay channel at √s= 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
No full textHiggs boson properties are studied in the four-lepton decay channel (where lepton = e, μ) using 139 fb - 1 of proton–proton collision data recorded at s=13 TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The inclusive cross-section times branching ratio for H→ ZZ∗ decay is measured to be 1.34 ± 0.12 pb for a Higgs boson with absolute rapidity below 2.5, in good agreement with the Standard Model prediction of 1.33 ± 0.08 pb. Cross-sections times branching ratio are measured for the main Higgs boson production modes in several exclusive phase-space regions. The measurements are interpreted in terms of coupling modifiers and of the tensor structure of Higgs boson interactions using an effective field theory approach. Exclusion limits are set on the CP-even and CP-odd ‘beyond the Standard Model’ couplings of the Higgs boson to vector bosons, gluons and top quarks. © 2020, The Author(s)

PUC: Packet Update Caching for energy efficient IoT-based Information-Centric Networking
No full textThe future Internet, known as Information-Centric Networking (ICN), is a realistic solution to content delivery between the content request generators (subscribers) and the server (publisher) in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment due to caching contents by in-network nodes. However, significant redundant copies of contents can be cached in this kind of network which, besides numerous advantages, introduces some undesirable features, such as security issues, content redundancy, access control, and cache overflow among others. ICN has different modules, such as mobility, routing, and caching, which are utmost important for the IoT network due to the nature of energy-constrained IoT devices. While numerous attempts are presently being made to institutionalize this emerging paradigm, careful considerations are needed to caching module at the early stage of this architecture. This is important instead of holding up until the innovation gets used and experienced. In this article, we first list some of the important features and limitations of the ICN-based IoT caching and then propose an ICN caching strategy that fits well in the energy efficient and secure IoT environment. The proposed strategy is simulated and compared with the ProbCache mechanism with regards to energy consumption and bandwidth utilization. Preliminary experimental analyses demonstrate that the proposed strategy produces better results than the ProbCache as long as the cache size of network nodes is increased. - 2019The authors are grateful to the Deanship of Scientific Research, King Saud University for funding through Vice Deanship of Scientific Research Chairs.

Performance of the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker in Run 1 of the LHC: tracker properties
No full textSee paper for full list of authors - 45 pages in total, author list starting page 29, 23 figures, 0 tables, submitted to JINST, All figures are available at https://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/IDET-2015-01International audienceThe tracking performance parameters of the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) as part of the ATLAS inner detector are described in this paper for different data-taking conditions in proton-proton, proton-lead and lead-lead collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The performance is studied using data collected for different data-taking conditions in proton-proton, proton-lead and lead-lead collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The performance is studied using data collected during the first period of LHC operation (Run 1) and is compared with Monte Carlo simulations. The performance of the TRT, operating with two different gas mixtures (xenon-based and argon-based) and its dependence on the TRT occupancy is presented. These studies show that the tracking performance of the TRT is similar for the two gas mixtures and that a significant contribution to the particle momentum resolution is made by the TRT up to high particle densities
Beam-induced and cosmic-ray backgrounds observed in the ATLAS detector during the LHC 2012 proton-proton running period
No full textSee paper for full list of authors - 65 pages plus author list (82 pages total), 60 figures, 4 tables, submitted to JINST, all figures are available at https://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/DAPR-2014-01/International audienceThis paper discusses various observations on beam-induced and cosmic-ray backgrounds in the ATLAS detector during the LHC 2012 proton-proton run. Building on published results based on 2011 data, the correlations between background and residual pressure of the beam vacuum are revisited. Ghost charge evolution over 2012 and its role for backgrounds are evaluated. New methods to monitor ghost charge with beam-gas rates are presented and observations of LHC abort gap population by ghost charge are discussed in detail. Fake jets from colliding bunches and from ghost charge are analysed with improved methods, showing that ghost charge in individual radio-frequency buckets of the LHC can be resolved. Some results of two short periods of dedicated cosmic-ray background data-taking are shown; in particular cosmic-ray muon induced fake jet rates are compared to Monte Carlo simulations and to the fake jet rates from beam background. A thorough analysis of a particular LHC fill, where abnormally high background was observed, is presented. Correlations between backgrounds and beam intensity losses in special fills with very high are studied
A measurement of material in the ATLAS tracker using secondary hadronic interactions in 7 TeV pp collisions
No full textSee paper for full list of authors, 28 pages plus author list + cover pages (45 pages total),14 figures, 8 tables, submitted to Journal of Instrum., All figures including auxiliary figures are available at https://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/PERF-2015-06/International audienceKnowledge of the material in the ATLAS inner tracking detector is crucial in understanding the reconstruction of charged-particle tracks, the performance of algorithms that identify jets containing b-hadrons and is also essential to reduce background in searches for exotic particles that can decay within the inner detector volume. Interactions of primary hadrons produced in pp collisions with the material in the inner detector are used to map the location and amount of this material. The hadronic interactions of primary particles may result in secondary vertices, which in this analysis are reconstructed by an inclusive vertex-finding algorithm. Data were collected using minimum-bias triggers by the ATLAS detector operating at the LHC during 2010 at centre-of-mass energy = 7 TeV, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of nb. Kinematic properties of these secondary vertices are used to study the validity of the modelling of hadronic interactions in simulation. Secondary-vertex yields are compared between data and simulation over a volume of about 0.7 m around the interaction point, and agreement is found within overall uncertainties

The Government Bulletin, Issued
some weeks ago, showing that the
average length of life in the United
State, t-ss materially increased during the past twenty-five, years, is
nraScent argument in refutation of
the oft-repeated statement that people lived longer iq the old, days
than they donow. Better diet, improved sanitary conditions, and a
more accurate knowledge of hygienic laws, are slowly but surely
lengthening the lives qf tbe
American people.
The proneneas of Americans, es.

the evidences of encroaching age,
and, by lying, to make others regard
tbem as perennially young, is in
■narked antithesis to the dlsposlti jn

to comment on one's venerable appearance is to offer the highest
