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)
Precision measurements of B[psi(3686) -> pi(+)pi(-)J/psi] and B[J/psi -> l(+)l(-)]
No full text<p>Based on (106.41 +/- 0.86) x 10(6) psi(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the branching fractions of psi(3686) -> pi(+)pi(-)J/psi, J/psi -> e(+)e(-), and J/psi -> mu(+)mu(-) are measured. We obtain B[psi(3686) -> pi(+)pi(-)J/psi] = (34.98 +/- 0.02 +/- 0.45)%, B[J/psi -> e(+)e(-)] = (5.983 +/- 0.007 +/- 0.037)%, and B[J/psi -> mu(+)mu(-)] = (5.973 +/- 0.0007 +/- 0.038)%. The measurement of B[psi(3686) -> pi(+)pi(-)J/psi] confirms the CLEO-c measurement, and is apparently larger than the others. The measured J/psi leptonic decay branching fractions agree with previous experiments within one standard deviation. These results lead to B[J/psi -> l(+)l(-)] = (5.978 +/- 0.005 +/- 0.040)% by averaging over the e(+)e(-) and mu(+)mu(-) channels and a ratio of B[J/psi -> e(+)e(-)]/B[J/psi -> mu(+)mu(-)] = 1.0017 +/- 0.0017 +/- 0.0033, which tests e- mu universality at the four tenths of a percent level. All the measurements presented in this paper are the most precise in the world to date.</p>
Effect of water temperature and flow rate on the transmission of microsporidial gill disease caused by Loma salmonae in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss
No full textTwo studies were designed to quantify the effect of water temperature and flow rate on the transmission potential of the important salmonid gill pathogen, Loma salmonae. Using survival analysis, increased water temperature and low flow rates were determined as risk factors for the transmission of microsporidial gill disease caused by L. salmonae in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Fish were experimentally infected with L. salmonae via a cohabitation exposure model and monitored for the development of branchial xenomas. On any given day, fish held at 11degreesC and 15degreesC had a hazard ratio equal to 0.80 and 0.68, respectively, for the development of branchial xenomas compared with fish held at 19degreesC. From the flow rate trial, fish housed in a low flow tank (0.83 L/min) had an increased chance of developing branchial xenomas when compared to fish in tanks at normal (1.67 L/min) and high (2.5 L/min) flow rates with hazard ratios reported as 0.69.PT: J; CR: BARKER DE, 2000, AQUACULTURE, V187, P261 BEAMAN HJ, 1998, THESIS U PRINCE EDWA BEAMAN HJ, 1999, J AQUAT ANIM HEALTH, V11, P237 BEBAKWILLIAMS J, 2002, J FISH DIS, V25, P715 BECKER JA, 2002, J FISH DIS, V25, P673 BODENSTEINER LR, 2000, J AQUAT ANIM HEALTH, V12, P209 CLEVES MA, 2002, INTRO SURVIVAL ANAL GEORGIADIS MP, 2001, PREV VET MED, V48, P287 GUTIERREZ RG, 2002, STATA J, V1, P22 HEDRICK RP, 1998, J AQUAT ANIM HEALTH, V10, P107 KENT ML, 1995, CAN VET J, V36, P98 KLEINBAUM DG, 1986, SURVIVAL ANAL SELF L, P4 MAGOR BG, 1987, CAN J ZOOL, V65, P751 PENNELL W, 1996, PRINCIPLES SALMONID RAMSAY JM, 2001, J FISH DIS, V24, P453 RENO PW, 1998, J AQUAT ANIM HEALTH, V10, P160 ROSS RM, 1995, AQUACULT ENG, V14, P29 SEDGWICK SD, 1990, TROUT FARMING HDB SHAW RW, 1998, DIS AQUAT ORGAN, V33, P151 SHAW RW, 2000, DIS AQUAT ORGAN, V43, P49 SPEARE DJ, 1998, CONTEMP TOP LAB ANIM, V37, P55 SPEARE DJ, 1998, J FISH DIS, V21, P345 SPEARE DJ, 1998, J FISH DIS, V21, P93 SPEARE DJ, 1999, J FISH DIS, V22, P277; NR: 24; TC: 6; J9: FISH PATHOL; PG: 8; GA: 815FNSource type: Electronic(1
Highly Canalized MinD Transfer and MinE Sequestration Explain the Origin of Robust MinCDE-Protein Dynamics
No full textMin-protein oscillations in Escherichia coli are characterized by the remarkable robustness with which spatial patterns dynamically adapt to variations of cell geometry. Moreover, adaption, and therefore proper cell division, is independent of temperature. These observations raise fundamental questions about the mechanisms establishing robust Min oscillations, and about the role of spatial cues, as they are at odds with present models. Here, we introduce a robust model based on experimental data, consistently explaining the mechanisms underlying pole-to-pole, striped, and circular patterns, as well as the observed temperature dependence of the oscillation period. Contrary to prior conjectures, the model predicts that MinD and cardiolipin domains are not colocalized. The transient sequestration of MinE and highly canalized transfer of MinD between polar zones are the key mechanisms underlying oscillations. MinD channeling enhances midcell localization and facilitates stripe formation, revealing the potential optimization process from which robust Min-oscillations originally arose
On n-fold L(j,k)-and circular L(j,k)-labelings of graphs
No full textAbstractWe initiate research on the multiple distance 2 labeling of graphs in this paper.Let n,j,k be positive integers. An n-fold L(j,k)-labeling of a graph G is an assignment f of sets of nonnegative integers of order n to the vertices of G such that, for any two vertices u,v and any two integers a∈f(u), b∈f(v), |a−b|≥j if uv∈E(G), and |a−b|≥k if u and v are distance 2 apart. The span of f is the absolute difference between the maximum and minimum integers used by f. The n-fold L(j,k)-labeling number of G is the minimum span over all n-fold L(j,k)-labelings of G.Let n,j,k and m be positive integers. An n-fold circular m-L(j,k)-labeling of a graph G is an assignment f of subsets of {0,1,…,m−1} of order n to the vertices of G such that, for any two vertices u,v and any two integers a∈f(u), b∈f(v), min{|a−b|,m−|a−b|}≥j if uv∈E(G), and min{|a−b|,m−|a−b|}≥k if u and v are distance 2 apart. The minimum m such that G has an n-fold circular m-L(j,k)-labeling is called the n-fold circular L(j,k)-labeling number of G.We investigate the basic properties of n-fold L(j,k)-labelings and circular L(j,k)-labelings of graphs. The n-fold circular L(j,k)-labeling numbers of trees, and the hexagonal and p-dimensional square lattices are determined. The upper and lower bounds for the n-fold L(j,k)-labeling numbers of trees are obtained. In most cases, these bounds are attainable. In particular, when k=1 both the lower and the upper bounds are sharp. In many cases, the n-fold L(j,k)-labeling numbers of the hexagonal and p-dimensional square lattices are determined. In other cases, upper and lower bounds are provided. In particular, we obtain the exact values of the n-fold L(j,1)-labeling numbers of the hexagonal and p-dimensional square lattices
Immunoprophylaxie des cancers colorectaux par des glucides indigestibles fermentables : études chez la souris Min
No full textCertaines fibres alimentaires réduiraient l'apparition des cancers colorectaux mais l'hypothèse reste controversée. Un des mécanismes fait intervenir la production par fermentation de butyrate. Nous avons testé deux fibres butyrogènes chimiquement différentes (fructo-oligosaccharides à chaîne courte scFOS, et amidon résistant) versus une fibre faiblement productrice de butyrate (son de blé désamidonné) chez la souris Min, un modèle de carcinogenèse intestinale spontanée. Seul le régime scFOS réduisait le nombre de tumeurs coliques et stimulait l'immunité locale. La nature chimique de la fibre ou bien les propriétés prébiotiques des scFOS (ils favorisent la croissance de bactéries lactiques qui agiraient sur la réaction immunitaire) sont donc impliquées. Deux autres types d'amidons résistants réduisaient le nombre de petites tumeurs. L'addition de bifidobactéries à l'un de ces deux régimes réduisait le nombre de petites tumeurs, mais augmentait celui de grosses tumeurs illustrant le concept de modulation par l'immunogénicité de la dualité immunofacilitation surveillance. La déplétion en lymphocytes T associée au régime scFOS doublait le nombre de tumeurs par rapport aux
souris immunocompétentes. Le régime scFOS diminuait l'expression du récepteur à l'IL2 à la surface des lymphocytes intra-épithéliaux (LIE) suggérant la mise en anergie temporaire du système immunitaire, mais pouvant aussi signifier l'implication d'une autre voie d'activation des LIE. Enfin, pour mettre en place une modélisation des intéractions lympho-épithéliales, nous avons croisé des
souris C57BL6 et Min avec la souris transgénique Immortomouse et isolé à partir de primo-cultures
de muqueuses des lignées cellulaires conditionnellement immortalisées saines et mutées sur Apc. Ce modèle permettra d'étudier en co-culture sur filtre, l'influence des glucides indigestibles et de leurs produits de fermentation sur les interactions lympho-épithéliales au cours de la carcinogenèse
Min matrices with hyper lucas numbers
No full textIn this paper, we examine Min matrix L=[L-k+min((i,j)-1)(r)](i)(n), (j=1), where L-n((r)) denotes the nth hyper-Lucas number of order r. We mainly focus on characteristic polynomial of L. Also, we compute determinants, inverses of L and its Hadamard inverse. Moreover, we give a numerical example to illustrate our results
The economic and fiscal impacts of Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey, a macroeconomic analysis
No full textThis report estimates the macroeconomic and fiscal impacts of Hurricane Sandy on the economy of New Jersey using the R/ECON™ forecasting model of the state’s economy. The model consists of more than 250 quarterly time-series equations and 30 employment sectors.The analysis takes into account both the economic losses resulting from the hurricane and the offsetting positive economic impacts associated with recovery and reconstruction spending in the months and years following the storm.However, the estimates of impacts depend upon the restoration expenditures actually being made. If the funds for these restoration and recovery expenditures are not made available, the offsetting positive impacts to the economy will not occur and the New Jersey economy will be significantly damaged. See Section 3 for estimates of the negative impacts if restoration expenditures are not made.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 34, January 2013, in Rutgers Regional Report
Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
No full textThe prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region
