Measurement of the Branching Fraction ratioB(B[subscript c] ⁺→ψ(2S)π⁺)/B(B[subscript c]⁺→J/ψπ⁺)
No full textFurther distribution of this work must maintain attribution to the author(s) and the published article's title, journal citation, and DOI. Using pp collision data collected by LHCb at center-of-mass energies √s = 7 TeV and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb⁻¹, the ratio of the branching fraction of the B[subscript c]⁺→ψ(2S)π⁺ decay relative to that of the B[subscript c]⁺→J/ψπ⁺ decay is measured to be 0.268±0.032(stat)±0.007(syst)±0.006(BF). The first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is due to the uncertainties on the branching fractions of the J/ψ→μ⁺μ⁻ and ψ(2S)→μ⁺μ⁻ decays. This measurement is consistent with the previous LHCb result, and the statistical uncertainty is halved
Resilience to large-scale disturbance in coral and fish assemblages on the Great Barrier Reef
No full textRecognition of the complex spatial and temporal variability of abundance and diversity found in many populations has led to a greater focus on the roles of heterogeneity, stochasticity, and disturbance in the structure and persistence of communities. This focus is directly relevant to coral reef communities that are characterized by very high species diversity in a spatially heterogeneous environment, display stochastic variability in community structure at small spatial and temporal scales, and are subject to major disturbances. We monitored coral and fish assemblages over 14 years on fixed sites spread over 80 km of the southern Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia, and found evidence of large-scale resilience and predictable recovery of these assemblages. Sometime between November 1987 and October 1989, live coral cover on the shallow northeast flanks of some reefs in the southern GBR decreased from >80% to <10%, probably as a result of storm damage. We compared the fish and benthic communities present in these areas prior to the disturbance (1983-1984) with those present in 1992 and the subsequent changes through to 1998. Hard coral cover increased slowly from 1992 to 1994, then accelerated to be indistinguishable from pre-impact levels by 1998. The response of the coral assemblages was largely due to the predominance of tabulate Acropora species and their characteristics of rapid growth and competitive dominance. Patterns of species richness of the fish families Acanthuridae, Chaetodontidae, Scaridae, and Pomacentridae mirrored that of hard coral, except the Pomacentridae had not recovered to pre-impact levels by 1998. Of the 26 fish species analyzed for changes in abundance, 88% decreased after the disturbance, then subsequently increased, with all but two recovering to pre-impact levels by 1998. Although processes such as settlement and immigration are ultimately responsible for replenishment of local populations, our data suggested that habitat plays a strong role in modifying fish assemblages. Thus, both coral and fish assemblages demonstrated resilience to large-scale natural disturbance and predictability in the structure of the assemblages, with most taxa approaching the asymptote of abundance and species richness that existed prior to the disturbance.PT: J; CR: ALLEN GR, 1998, GUIDE ANGELFISHES BU AULT TR, 1998, ECOL MONOGR, V68, P25 BAIRD AH, 2000, J EXP MAR BIOL ECOL, V251, P117 BELL JD, 1984, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V15, P265 BOHNSACK JA, 1983, ENVIRON BIOL FISH, V9, P41 BORMANN FH, 1979, AM SCI, V67, P660 BROTHERS EB, 1983, MAR BIOL, V76, P319 BROWN BE, 1997, CORAL REEFS, V16, P129 BUDDEMEIER RW, 2002, CORAL REEFS, V21, P1 BYTHELL JC, 2000, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V204, P93 CALEY MJ, 1996, J ANIM ECOL, V65, P414 CHABANET P, 1997, CORAL REEFS, V16, P93 CHEAL AJ, 2002, CORAL REEFS, V21, P131 CHESSON PL, 1986, COMMUNITY ECOLOGY, P229 CHOAT JH, 1996, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V134, P15 CLEY MJ, 1997, P 8 INT COR REEF S, V1, P993 COLGAN MW, 1987, ECOLOGY, V68, P1592 CONNELL JH, 1978, SCIENCE, V199, P1302 CONNELL JH, 1983, AM NAT, V121, P789 CONNELL JH, 1997, CORAL REEFS S, V16, P101 CONNELL JH, 1997, ECOL MONOGR, V67, P461 CORNELL HV, 1996, J ANIM ECOL, V65, P233 DAVIES PJ, 1979, SEARCH, V10, P776 DAVIES PJ, 1980, NATURE, V287, P37 DOHERTY PJ, 1987, B MAR SCI, V41, P411 DOHERTY PJ, 1991, ECOLOGY FISHES CORAL, P261 DOHERTY PJ, 1997, P 8 INT COR REEF S P, V1, P1005 DONE TJ, 1992, CONT SHELF RES, V12, P859 FOWLER AJ, 1990, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V64, P39 FOWLER AJ, 1992, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V82, P131 FRIEDLANDER AM, 1998, J EXP MAR BIOL ECOL, V224, P1 GREEN AL, 1996, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V133, P1 HANSKI I, 1998, NATURE, V396, P41 HART AM, 1996, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V132, P11 HART AM, 1996, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V132, P21 HEINSELMAN ML, 1981, P C FIR REG EC PROP, P7 HIXON MA, 1991, ECOLOGY FISHES CORAL, P475 HIXON MA, 1993, ECOL MONOGR, V63, P77 HOBBS RJ, 1994, PACIFIC CONSERVATION, V1, P170 HOLLING CS, 1973, ANNUAL REV ECOLOGY S, V4, P1 HUGHES TP, 1994, SCIENCE, V265, P1547 HUGHES TP, 1999, LIMNOL OCEANOGR 2, V44, P932 JONES GP, 1991, ECOLOGY FISHES CORAL, P294 JONES GP, 1998, AUST J ECOL, V23, P287 KARLSON RH, 1993, CORAL REEFS, V12, P117 LASSIG BR, 1983, ENVIRON BIOL FISH, V9, P55 LEWIS AR, 1997, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V161, P37 LITTELL RC, 1996, SAS SYSTEM MIXED MOD LUCKHURST BE, 1978, MAR BIOL, V49, P317 MASSEL SR, 1993, CORAL REEFS, V12, P153 MCCULLAGH P, 1989, GENERALIZED LINEAR MEEKAN MG, 1999, B MAR SCI, V64, P383 NINIO R, 2000, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V194, P65 NINIO R, 2002, CORAL REEFS, V21, P95 NOTT J, 2001, NATURE, V413, P508 ODUM EP, 1969, SCIENCE, V164, P262 OLIVER JK, 1995, LONG TERM MINITORING PAINE RT, 1981, ECOL MONOGR, V51, P145 PICKETT STA, 1986, ECOLOGY NATURAL DIST PIUMM SL, 1991, BALANCE NATURE ECOL RANDALL JE, 1990, FISHES GRET BARRIER ROBERTS CM, 1987, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V41, P1 SALE PF, 1978, ENVIRON BIOL FISH, V3, P85 SALE PF, 1982, AM NAT, V120, P121 SANO M, 2000, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V198, P121 STIMSON J, 1985, ECOLOGY, V66, P40 SWEATMAN H, 2000, 4 I MAR SCI SWEATMAN H, 2001, 5 AUSTR I MAR SCI SYMS C, 1998, J EXP MAR BIOL ECOL, V230, P151 SYMS C, 2000, ECOLOGY, V81, P2714 THOMPSON AA, 2002, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V232, P247 VANWOESIK R, 1991, J COASTAL RES, V7, P551 WALSH WJ, 1983, CORAL REEFS, V2, P49 WELLINGTON GM, 1985, OECOLOGIA, V68, P15 WILKINSON CR, 1999, MAR FRESHWATER RES, V50, P867 WILLIAMS DM, 1982, CORAL REEFS, V1, P35 WILLIAMS DM, 1983, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V10, P239 WILLIAMS DM, 1986, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V28, P157 WILLIAMS DM, 1991, ECOLOGY FISHES CORAL, P437 WOODLEY JD, 1981, SCIENCE, V214, P749 WU JG, 1995, Q REV BIOL, V70, P439; NR: 81; TC: 9; J9: ECOLOGY; PG: 14; GA: 843VASource type: Electronic(1
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)

Raymond Williams and the limits of cultural materialism
No full textCultural materialism has become an influential discipline in recent
years, particularly so in 'Renaissance' studies, but also more generally in
'English', as well as departments defined as practising 'cultural' or
'communications' studies. The phrase is usually linked with the name of
Raymond Williams, but a cursory examination of Williams's own work
quickly establishes that it is a phrase he rarely uses, and only schematically
attempts to define. The thesis therefore takes the form of an investigation into
the way cultural materialism has come to be understood, by examining in
detail the trajectory of Raymond Williams's theoretical development, and how
his own engagement with various theoretical positions has helped to set
'limits' on the meaning of cultural materialism.
Chapters 1 and 2 deal with some of Williams's earliest work,
particularly Reading and Criticism, as a way of investigating how reasonable
it is to tag him as a 'Left-Leavisite', arguing that Leavis's undoubted
influence is resisted (though not entirely rejected) from a very early stage. The
first chapter considers in detail Leavis's work at Cambridge, the influence of
Eliot, and the significance of the 'Organic Community'. Chapter 2, which is
based around a comparative analysis of Williams's and Leavis's readings of
Dickens, argues that Williams rejects the 'organic community' in favour of his
'knowable community'. Chapters 4 and 5 deal with specific 'theoretical'
issues: the first, based around a reading of Terry Eagleton's critique of
Williams's use of the Marxist metaphor of 'base and superstructure', shows
some of the problems which arise from Williams's cultural model, as well as
suggesting refinements; the second deals with the influence of Volosinov's
theories on Williams. Chapter 6 comes out of Williams's readings of the
'Country-House' poems in The Country and the City, showing how his
practice of literary criticism relies on an acceptance of 'ideology' apparently
denied in his more 'theoretical' writings. This analysis is extended as a result
of investigations into the 'De L'Isle' manuscripts relating to the Penshurst
estate. Chapter 7 argues that it is possible to see the work of Fredric Jameson
as developing Williams's cultural materialism into Jameson's debates on
postmodernism.
In the Introduction and Conclusion, I have taken the opportunity to
look briefly at the activity of cultural materialism as it has developed since
Raymond Williams's death in 1988. The Introduction emphasizes what I see
to be important methodological differences between 'cultural materialism'
and 'new historicism'; the Conclusion deals with the continuing debate over
the value of a cultural materialist approach by considering the 'appropriation'
of Shakespeare
