Search for CP violation in the decays D-+/- -> (KSK +/-)-K-0, D-s(+/-) -> (KSK +/-)-K-0, and D-s(+/-) -> K-S(0)pi(+/-)
No full textWe report a search for CP violation in the decay modes D-+/- -> (KSK +/-)-K-0, D-s(+/-) -> (KSK +/-)-K-0, and D-s(+/-) -> K-S(0)pi(+/-) using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 469 fb(-1) collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric energy e(+)e(-) storage rings. The decay rate CP asymmetries, ACP, are determined to be (+0.13 +/- 0.36(stat) +/- 0.25(syst))%, (-0.05 +/- 0.23(stat) +/- 0.24(syst))%, and (+0.6 +/- 2.0(stat) +/- 0.3(syst))%, respectively. These measurements are consistent with zero, and also with the Standard Model prediction [(-0.332 +/- 0.006)% for the D-+/- -> (KSK +/-)-K-0 and D-s(+/-) -> (KSK +/-)-K-0 modes, and (+0.332 +/- 0.006)% for the D-s(+/-) -> K-S(0)pi(+/-) mode]. They are the most precise determinations to date

Rare B decays into states containing a J/psi meson and a meson with s(s)over-bar quark content
No full textWe report a study of the B meson decays, B+-->J/psiphiK(+), B-0-->J/psiphiK(S)(0), B-0-->J/psiphi, B-0-->J/psieta, and B-0-->J/psieta' using 56x10(6) B (B) over bar events collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e(+)e(-) asymmetric-energy storage ring. We measure the branching fractions B(B+-->J/psiphiK(+))=(4.4+/-1.4(stat)+/-0.5(syst))x10(-5) and B(B-0-->J/psiphiK(S)(0))=(5.1+/-1.9(stat)+/-0.5(syst))x10(-5), and set upper limits at 90% confidence level for the branching fractions B(B-0-->J/psiphi)J/psieta)J/psieta('))<6.3x10(-5)

The possible contributory role of the S allele of 5-HTTLPR in the emergence of suicidality
No full textSuicide is a complex and challenging human phenomenon, and, although knowledge is expanding concerning its risk factors, its background is still not fully understood. There is currently an increasing interest in genetic factors associated with suicide, since these may lead to the emergence of personality traits and temperaments that may be long-term predictors of suicidal behaviour. One of the most likely genetic candidates in the background of suicide is the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism of the serotonin transporter gene. This review focused on papers published on the association of the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism of the serotonin transporter gene and suicidal behaviour as well as research on possible endophenotypes related to suicide. Although there are contradictory results, several studies and meta-analyses support the idea that the S allele plays a role in the background of violent suicide. However, in order to be able to delineate the genetic background of suicide, different types of suicidal behaviour should be distinguished, since studies indicate that these may have different genetic factors. Also, personality traits and temperaments should be identified that may play a modulating role between genetic factors and suicidal behaviour. So far, neuroticism, affective temperaments, and impulsive aggression have been found to be associated with both the S allele and suicidal behaviour. This study aimed to integrate findings concerning possible endophenotypes modulating between genetic factors and manifested suicidal behaviour. © The Author(s) 2011 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav

MV underground cables: effects of soil thermal resistivity on anomalous working temperatures
No full textOne of the parameters that has to be considered in designing underground cables is the thermal resistivity of the soil along their routes. In fact, the ampacity of the MV underground cables having different types of insulation is normally evaluated through the application of the IEC Standard 60287-x 'Electric cables - Calculation of the current rating'. This series of IEC Standard is formed of three parts as in the following: part 1: Formulae of ratings and power losses; part 2: Formulae for thermal resistance; part 3: Sections on operating conditions. In Italy, the current capacity of the same MV cables is established by the Italian Standard CEI-UNEL 35027 (2009) 'Power cables with rated voltages from 1 kV to 30 kV - Steady state current ratings: cables laid in air and in ground', which are based on the above mentioned IEC Standard. These thermal ampacities of the underground cables are function of ambient temperature and the thermal resistivity of the soil. The soil thermal resistivity is a parameter not easy to evaluate and for this reason, several times, only typical values are assumed just in function of the kind of the interested terrain (organic, loam, quartz sand, etc.). This assumption ignores the fact that the thermal resistivity varies continuously day by day especially in function of humidity soil content, being strongly dependent from this parameter. This paper describes as important differences of thermal resistivity may be present in consequence of seasonal variation in moisture content of the soil. It is also shown as such variations may cause important anomalous increases of cable maximum working temperature, which may be assumed to be at the origin of unexpected failures especially in correspondence of MV cable joints. In fact, the joints are, still today, the weakest points of the underground cables where the breakdown easily occurs due to poor workmanship, moisture ingress and thermal degradation. This thermal degradation may be also due to circulation of fault current in the metallic sheaths
