Creighton Law Review
No full textINTRODUCTION|Each day, there are literally thousands of judges issuing thousands of rulings that affect thousands of lives. Typically, those rulings impact people, businesses, organizations, cities, towns, states, and even the federal government itself. Judges can also be affected by their rulings. The impact of the rulings could run the gambit from praise and admiration to threats and even death. In fact, since 1949, three federal judges have been assassinated. This Article will serve as a tribute to those judges-Judge John H. Wood, Jr. ("Judge Wood"), Judge Richard J. Daronco ("Judge Daronco"), and Judge Robert S. Vance ("Judge Vance"). In addition to serving as a tribute to these judges, this Article will also serve as a reminder about the dangers inherent in the judicial profession...111-22494
Power battles on CBD (1966-1974)
No full textOrientador: Sergio Settani GiglioDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Educação FísicaResumo: Essa pesquisa analisou, via reportagens da Folha de S. Paulo e Jornal dos Sports, a história da Confederação Brasileira de Desportes (CBD) e o fim da longa passagem de João Havelange na entidade. Por meio das reportagens, analisamos as disputas de poder da época referenciando Bourdieu e seus conceitos. Com esse estudo buscamos ter uma maior base de conhecimento científico sobre os processos que envolveram a dissolução da CBD e a formação de várias Confederações, entre elas, a Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF). Como consequência da formação desse Campo também analisamos o desenvolvimento da carreira de João Havelange, que é, reconhecidamente, um dos maiores nomes da gestão esportiva brasileiraAbstract: This research will study, via Folha de S. Paulo and Jornal dos Sports reports, the history of Confederação Brasileira de Desportes (CBD) and the end of João Havelange’s long story at the entity. With the stories, we will analyze the power battles of the time using Bourdieu and your concepts. With this research, we pretend to get a higher cientific knowledge about the old entity that led many sports in the country and when it ended, it became the Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF). Beyond that, we will analyse the João Havelange’s career development, which is recognized as one of the brightest person of brazilian sports management historyMestradoEducação Física e SociedadeMestre em Educação Física130450/2019-7CAPE
Measurement of the B-s(0)-(B)over-bar(s)(0) oscillation frequency
No full textWe present the first precise measurement of the B-s(0)-(B) over bar (0)(s) oscillation frequency Delta m(s). We use 1 fb(-1) of data from p (p) over bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The sample contains signals of 3600 fully reconstructed hadronic B-s decays and 37 000 partially reconstructed semileptonic B-s decays. We measure the probability as a function of proper decay time that the B-s decays with the same, or opposite, flavor as the flavor at production, and we find a signal consistent with B-s(0)-(B) over bar (0)(s) oscillations. The probability that random fluctuations could produce a comparable signal is 0.2%. Under the hypothesis that the signal is due to B-s(0)-(B) over bar (0)(s) oscillations, we measure Delta m(s)=17.31(-0.18)(+0.33)(stat)+/- 0.07(syst) ps(-1) and determine vertical bar V-td/V-ts vertical bar=0.208(-0.002)(+0.001)(expt)(-0.006)(+0.008)(theor)
First Observation of B-s(0)->(DsK -/+)-K-+/- and Measurement of the Ratio of Branching Fractions B(B-s(0)->(DsK -/+)-K-+/-)/B(B-s(0)-> D-s(+)pi(-))
No full textA combined mass and particle identification fit is used to make the first observation of the decay B-s(0)->(DsK -/+)-K-+/- and measure the branching fraction of B-s(0)->(DsK -/+)-K-+/- relative to B-s(0)-> D-s(+)pi(-). This analysis uses 1.2 fb(-1) integrated luminosity of pp collisions at s=1.96 TeV collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We observe a B-s(0)->(DsK -/+)-K-+/- signal with a statistical significance of 8.1 sigma and measure B(B-s(0)->(DsK -/+)-K-+/-)/B(B-s(0)-> D-s(+)pi(-))=0.097 +/- 0.018(stat)+/- 0.009(syst)
Measurement of the ratios of branching fractions B (B-s(0)-> D-s(-) pi(+) pi(+) pi(-))/B(B-0 -> D- pi(+) pi(+) pi(-)) and B(B-s(0) -> D-s(-) pi(+))/B(B-0 -> D- pi(+))
No full textUsing 355 pb(-1) of data collected by the CDF II detector in p (p) over bar at collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron, we study the fully reconstructed hadronic decays B-(s)(0) -> D-(s)(-)pi(+) and B-(s)(0) -> D-(s)(-) pi(+)pi(+)pi(-). We present the first measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B-s(0) -> D-s(-) pi(+)pi(+)pi(-))/B(B-0 -> D-s(-) pi(+)pi(+)pi(-)) = 1.05 +/- 0.10(stat) +/- 0.22(syst). We also update our measurement of B(B-s(0) -> D-s(-)pi(+))/B(B-0 -> D-pi(+)) to 1.13 +/- 0.08(stat) +/- 0.23(syst), improving the statistical uncertainty by more than a factor of 2. We find B(B-s(0) -> D-s(-)pi(+)) = [3.8 +/- 0.3(stat) +/- 1.3(syst)] x 10(-3) and B(B-s(0) -> D-s(-) pi(+)pi(+)pi(-)) = [8.4 +/- 0.8 (stat) +/- 3.2(syst)] x 10(-3)
Observation of B-s(0)-> K+K- and measurements of branching fractions of charmless two-body decays of B-0 and B-s(0) mesons in pp collisions at root s=1.96 TeV
No full textWe search for decays of the type B-(s)(0)-> h(+)h('-) (where h,h(')=K or pi) in 180 pb(-1) of (p) over barp collisions collected at the Tevatron by the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab. We report the first observation of the new mode B-s(0)-> K+K- with a yield of 236 +/- 32 events, corresponding to (f(s)/f(d))xB(B-s(0)-> K+K-)/B(B-0 -> K+pi(-))=0.46 +/- 0.08(stat)+/- 0.07(syst), where f(s)/f(d) is the ratio of production fractions of B-s(0) and B-0. We find results in agreement with world averages for the B-0 modes, and set the following new limits at 90% C.L.: B(B-s(0)-> K-pi(+))pi(+)pi(-))< 1.7x10(-6)
Observation of B-s(0)->psi(2S)phi and measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B-s(0)->psi(2S)phi)/B(B-s(0)-> J/psi phi)
No full textWe report the first observation of B-s(0)->psi(2S)phi decay in pp collisions at root s=1.96 TeV using 360 pb(-1) of data collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We observe 20.2 +/- 5.0 and 12.3 +/- 4.1 B-s(0)->psi(2S)phi candidates, in psi(2S)->mu(+)mu(-) and psi(2S)-> J/psi pi(+)pi(-) decay modes, respectively. We present a measurement of the relative branching fraction B(B-s(0)->psi(2S)phi)/B(B-s(0)-> J/psi phi)=0.52 +/- 0.13(stat)+/- 0.04(syst)+/- 0.06(BR) using the psi(2S)->mu(+)mu(-) decay mode
Search for B-s(0)->mu(+)mu(-) and B-s(0)->mu(+)mu(-) decays in p(p)over-bar collisions with CDF II
No full textWe report on a search for B-s(0)->mu(+)mu(-) and B-d(0)->mu(+)mu(-) decays in p (p) over bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV using 364 pb(-1) of data collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. After applying all selection requirements, we observe no candidates inside the B-s(0) or B-d(0) mass windows. The resulting upper limits on the branching fractions are B(B-s(0)->mu(+)mu(-))mu(+)mu(-))< 3.9x10(-8) at 90% confidence level
Search for exotic S =-2 baryons in p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV
No full textA search for a manifestly exotic S = -2 baryon state decaying to Xi(-) pi(-), and its neutral partner decaying to Xi(-) pi(+), has been performed using 220 pb(-1) of pp collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The Xi(-) trajectories were measured in a silicon tracker before their decay, resulting in a sample with low background and excellent position resolution. No evidence was found for S = -2 pentaquark candidates in the invariant mass range of 1600-2100 MeV/c(2). Upper limits on the product of pentaquark production cross section times its branching fraction to Xi(-) pi(+, -), relative to the cross section of the well-established Xi(1530) resonance, are presented for neutral and doubly negative candidates with p(T) \u3e 2 GeV/c and vertical bar y vertical bar \u3c 1 as a function of pentaquark mass. At 1862 MeV/c(2), these upper limits for neutral and doubly negative final states were found to be 3.2% and 1.7% at the 90% confidence level, respectively
