Study of the B+c → J/ψD+s and B+c → J/ψD*s+ decays with the ATLAS detector
No full textThe decays B-c(+) -> J/psi D-s(+) and B-c(+) -> J/psi D-s*(+) are studied with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using a dataset corresponding to integrated luminosities of 4.9 and 20.6 fb(-1) of pp collisions collected at centre-of-mass energies root s = 7 TeV and 8 TeV, respectively. Signal candidates are identified through J/psi -> mu(+)mu(-) and D-s(()*()+) -> phi pi(+)(gamma/pi(0)) decays. With a two-dimensional likelihood fit involving the B-c(+) reconstructed invariant mass and an angle between the mu(+) and D-s(+) candidate momenta in the muon pair rest frame, the yields of B-c(+) -> J/psi D-s(+) and B-c(+) -> J/psi D-s*(+), and the transverse polarisation fraction in B-c(+) -> J/psi D-s*(+) decay are measured. The transverse polarisation fraction is determined to be Gamma +/-+/-(B-c(+) -> J/psi D-s*(+))/Gamma(B-c(+) -> J/psi D-s*(+)) = 0.38 +/- 0.23 +/- 0.07, and the derived ratio of the branching fractions of the two modes is B-Bc+ -> J/psi D-s*+/B-Bc+ -> J/psi D-s(+) = 2.8(-0.8)(+1.2) +/- 0.3, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. Finally, a sample of B-c(+) -> J/psi pi(+) decays is used to derive the ratios of branching fractions B-Bc+ -> J/psi D-s*+/B-Bc+ -> J/psi pi(+) = 3.8 +/- 1.1 +/- 0.4 +/- 0.2 and B-Bc+ -> J/psi D-s*+/B-Bc+ -> J/psi pi(+) = 10.4 +/- 3.1 +/- 1.5 +/- 0.6, where the third error corresponds to the uncertainty of the branching fraction of D-s(+) -> phi(K+ K-)pi(+) decay. The available theoretical predictions are generally consistent with the measurement.ATLAS Collaboration, for complete list of authors see http://dx.doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-015-3743-8</p

No full textDissertação (mestrado profissional) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Agrárias, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Agroecossistemas, Florianópolis, 2015.O tema deste trabalho são as tecnologias envolvidas na produção de arroz agroecológico na Cooperativa dos Trabalhadores Assentados da Região de Porto Alegre (COOTAP) em Eldorado do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, e tem objetivo, contestar as práticas e as lógicas produtivas que permeiam o agronegócio, apresentando em contrapartida as práticas agroecológicas adotadas pela cooperativa citada. Durante o trabalho de campo, lançamos mão da observação participante no sentido de ter presente às informações que se manifestam no ambiente da pesquisa. É importante destacar que a observação foi livre, ocorrendo em todos os momentos no qual estivemos envolvidos nesta pesquisa, e não somente em uma fase de processo. O trabalho foi desenvolvido com entrevistas semiestruturadas. O universo estudado refere-se grupo gestor da produção agroecológica do arroz da COOTAP localizada em Eldorado do Sul/RS, distante cerca de 23 km da capital do Estado, Porto Alegre. Houve também a participação de cooperados do município de Nova Santa Rita, distante 23 km da capital. Os resultados deste trabalho foram ao encontro de compreender as tecnologias geradas pelos sujeitos do processo de produção agroecológica na região metropolitana de porto alegre através do grupo gestor do arroz pelos associados da COOTAP, principalmente quanto ao manejo da fertilidade entendendo a construção da cadeia do arroz em escala.Abstract : The central theme of this research are the technologies involved in the production of agro-ecological rice in the Settlers Cooperative Workers Region of Porto Alegre (COOTAP) in Eldorado do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, and has aimed to challenge the practices and productive logic that permeate agribusiness, presenting in return agroecological practices adopted by the said cooperative. Epistemological methodology that support the studies. During the fieldwork, we used participant observation in order to take this information manifested in the research environment. Importantly, the observation was free, occurring at all times in which we were involved in this research, and not only in one process step. The study was conducted with semi-structure interviews Our sample is the agroecological production manager group rice of COOTAP located in Eldorado do Sul - RS, distant about 23km from the state capital, Porto Alegre. There was also the participation of cooperatives in the municipality of Nova Santa Rita, 23km far from the capital. The results of this work were at the meeting to understand the technologies generated by the subjects of agro-ecological production process in the metropolitan region of porto through rice management group by the members of COOTAP, particularly for the management of fertility understanding the construction of the rice chain scale

Oceanography, 32(2), (2019); 15-19, doi:10.5670/oceanog.2019.207.In this special issue of Oceanography we explore the results of SPURS-2, the second Salinity Processes in the Upper-ocean Regional Study (SPURS), conducted in the eastern equatorial Pacific. SPURS is an ambitious multiyear field program to study surface salinity in evaporation-dominated (SPURS-1) and precipitation-dominated (SPURS-2) regions of the global ocean. The primary goal was to further our understanding of the global oceanic freshwater cycle through investigation of the physical processes controlling the upper-ocean salinity balance: air-sea interactions, transport, and mixing. With the advent of satellites capable of measuring sea surface salinity, such as NASA’s Aquarius instrument and the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite, as well as the European Space Agency’s Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) platform, a near-synoptic view of such processes has become possible (Figure 1). To take full advantage of such observations, we need to understand the link between upper-ocean dynamics and the oceanic freshwater cycle

Diurnal surface flux variability over western boundary currents

A., & Edson, J. B. Diurnal surface flux variability over western boundary currents. Geophysical Research Letters, 46(15), (2019): 9174-9182, doi:10.1029/2019GL082826.An analysis of a satellite ocean surface turbulent flux product demonstrated that, as expected, the western boundary current regions dominate the seasonal cycle amplitude. Surprisingly, our analysis of the global ocean diurnal flux variability also demonstrated a regional maximum in the winter over the western boundary current regions. We conducted comparisons with in situ data from several buoys located in these regions. The buoy data were in general agreement with the relative magnitude, timing, and importance of each of the bulk parameters driving the latent and sensible heat fluxes. Further analysis demonstrated that the strength and timing of the diurnal signal is related to the location of the buoy relative to the region of maximum heat flux and sea surface temperature gradient. In both regions, the timing of the higher winds coincides with the moistest surface layer, indicating that surface fluxes rather than entrainment mixing play a key role in this phenomenon.CAC gratefully acknowledges funding from the NASA MAP and NEWS programs (NNX13AN48G and NNX15AI47A).
