A search is performed for the process pp→G*→BHb-/B-Hb→Hbb-→bb-bb-, predicted in composite Higgs scenarios, where G* is a heavy colour octet vector resonance and BH a vector-like quark of charge -1/3. The data were obtained from pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb-1, recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The largest background,

The measurement of prompt D-meson production as a function of multiplicity in p-Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC is reported. D0, D+ and D∗+ mesons are reconstructed via their hadronic decay channels in the centre-of-mass rapidity range −0.96 < ycms< 0.04 and transverse momentum interval 1

The presentation is based on the theoretical model for sustainable working life for all ages (swAge). The swAge model includes the complex picture of factors and areas of importance to work life participation. In the model, different ageing concepts is related to the nine areas of importance for individuals perspective of work life participation and the four consideration areas to if individuals c

Combined ATLAS and CMS measurements of the Higgs boson production and decay rates, as well as constraints on its couplings to vector bosons and fermions, are presented. The combination is based on the analysis of five production processes, namely gluon fusion, vector boson fusion, and associated production with a W or a Z boson or a pair of top quarks, and of the six decay modes H → ZZ, W W, γγ, τ

A measurement of the Bs0decay parameters in the Bs0→ J/ψϕ channel using an integrated luminosity of 14.3 fb−1collected by the ATLAS detector from 8 TeV pp collisions at the LHC is presented. The measured parameters include the CP -violating phase ϕs, the decay width Γs and the width difference between the mass eigenstates ΔΓs. The values measured for the physical parameters are statistically combi

The aim of this paper was to explore the effect of seasonal temperature differences and cold indoor environment in winter on the physical performance of older people living in the community based on a field study. We recruited 162 home-dwelling older people from a rehabilitation facility in the Osaka prefecture, Japan; physical performance data were available from 98/162 (60.5%). At the same time,

Beundran för Maos Kina och inte minst för kulturrevolutionen betydde mycket för vänsteruppsvinget under 1960-talets senare hälft. Den växande konflikten mellan maoismen och sovjetkommunismen kom i hög grad att influera den svenska vänsterns utveckling och till sist sönderfall i olika fraktioner. Mao i Sverige följer den svenska maoismens utveckling steg för steg. Förutom att gå kronologiskt fram l

The terrestrial carbon and water cycles are intimately linked: the carbon cycle is driven by photosynthesis, while the water balance is dominated by transpiration, and both fluxes are controlled by plant stomatal conductance. The ratio between these fluxes, the plant water-use efficiency (WUE), is a useful indicator of vegetation function. WUE can be estimated using several techniques, including l

We have purified wild type, three structural stability mutants and four charge mutants of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme from E. coli strains harboring desired expression vectors. Structural stability mutants were produced by substitution of the isoleucine at amino acid position three, yielding a set of proteins with stabilities ranging from 1.2 kcal/mol greater, to 2.8 kcal/mol less, than that of the

Different approaches to anion exchange membranes (AEMs) are currently intensively investigated with the aim to develop materials for application in electrochemical energy devices such as alkaline fuel cells and electrolysers.1 One of the major challenges is to identify feasible synthetic strategies to AEM materials with sufficient long-term chemical and thermal stability. Studies of different smal

The application of anion exchange membranes (AEM) in their hydroxide (OH–) form (sometimes denoted by HEM) as separators in low temperature fuel cells is a matter of ongoing research. OH– conductivity close to the proton conductivity of PEMs (such as the well-established Nafion®) are quite common [i] for high levels of hydration, and the reactivity of OH– with CO2 in air (used as oxidant in fuel c
