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)
First observation of Bs → J/ψf0(980) decays
No full textUsing data collected with the LHCb detector in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, the hadronic decay is observed. This CP eigenstate mode could be used to measure mixing-induced CP violation in the system. Using a fit to the π+π− mass spectrum with interfering resonances gives . In the interval ±90 MeV around 980 MeV, corresponding to approximately two full f0 widths we also find , where in both cases the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively
Changes in smooth muscle contractility of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum) intestine during acclimation to altered temperature
No full textThe effects of altered water temperature in vivo on in vitro smooth muscle contractility of rainbow trout intestine were investigated. Temperature has a significant effect on receptor-mediated intestinal smooth muscle contractility in the rainbow trout. The efficacy of 5-HT, carbachol, and transmural stimulation increased with temperatures above 10-degrees-C, with an optimal increase at 15-degrees-C. There was also a modest increase in the potency of 5-HT and carbachol within 2 days of establishing trout at 20-degrees-C. By day 8, most of these changes had either stabilized or were returning to control values, suggesting that acclimation changes in membranes and enzyme activities were taking effect. However, the contractile responses to carbachol and transmural stimulation were still increasing at this time. This may imply that the muscarinic receptors are more resistant to membrane acclimation changes and may take longer to adapt. Because these experiments were controlled for handling stress and seasonal changes that affect contractility, we have been able to demonstrate some early changes in smooth muscle contractility that occur during acclimation to altered temperature.PT: J; CR: ALOIA RC, 1989, BIOCHIM BIOPHYS ACTA, V988, P123 BRINK C, 1981, J PHARMACOL EXP THER, V217, P592 BURKA JF, 1989, CAN J PHYSIOL PHARM, V67, P477 BURKA JF, 1990, CAN J PHYSIOL PHARM, V68, P700 BURKA JF, 1993, FISH PHYSIOL BIOCHEM, V12, P53 BURNSTOCK G, 1959, Q J MICROSC SCI, V100, P199 CARPENTER JR, 1986, J PHARMACOL METHOD, V15, P283 DEAN JM, 1969, COMP BIOCHEM PHYSIOL, V29, P185 GUDERLEY H, 1992, FISH PHYSIOL BIOCHEM, V10, P123 HAZEL JR, 1992, J COMP PHYSIOL B, V162, P593 HOCHACHKA PW, 1984, BIOCH ADAPTATION HOLMGREN S, 1985, NEUROSCIENCE, V14, P683 JENSEN J, 1991, GEN COMP ENDOCR, V83, P388 KITAZAWA T, 1989, BRIT J PHARMACOL, V98, P781 MCCAULEY RW, 1974, T AM FISH SOC, V106, P362 PICKERING AD, 1982, J FISH BIOL, V20, P229; NR: 16; TC: 1; J9: FISH PHYSIOL BIOCHEM; PG: 9; GA: MP851Source type: Electronic(1
Retelling racialized violence, remaking white innocence: the politics of interlocking oppressions in transgender day of remembrance
No full textTransgender Day of Remembrance has become a significant political event among those resisting violence against gender-variant persons. Commemorated in more than 250 locations worldwide, this day honors individuals who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. However, by focusing on transphobia as the definitive cause of violence, this ritual potentially obscures the ways in which hierarchies of race, class, and sexuality constitute such acts. Taking the Transgender Day of Remembrance/Remembering Our Dead project as a case study for considering the politics of memorialization, as well as tracing the narrative history of the Fred F. C. Martinez murder case in Colorado, the author argues that deracialized accounts of violence produce seemingly innocent White witnesses who can consume these spectacles of domination without confronting their own complicity in such acts. The author suggests that remembrance practices require critical rethinking if we are to confront violence in more effective ways.

Nested chain partitions of Hamiltonian filters
No full textLet P be a poset, consisting of all sets X subset of or equal to [n] = {1, 2, ..., n} which contain at least one of a given collection F of 2-subsets of [n], ordered by inclusion. By modifying a construction of Greene and Kleitman, we show that if F is hamiltonian, that is, contains {1, 2}, {2, 3}, ..., (n - 1, n) and {1, n}, then P is a nested chain order. We examine the Sperner-type properties of such posers and provide further support for a conjecture of Lih.
