Search results

A search for Higgs boson production in association with a pair of top quarks (tt¯ H) is performed, where the Higgs boson decays to bb¯, and both top quarks decay hadronically. The data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb−1 of pp collisions at √s = 8 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The search selects events with at least six energetic jets and

The study aim was to explore the relationship between a developmental assessment at preschool age and an intelligence quotient (IQ) assessment at school age. One hundred sixty-two children were assessed at 2.5 years with the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development—Third Edition (Bayley-III) and then at 6.5 years with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Fourth Edition (WISC-IV). Th

We investigate the hypothesis that ingestion of a terrestrial or super-Earth planet could cause the anomalously high metal abundances seen in a turn-off star in the open cluster M67, when compared to other turn-off stars in the same cluster. We show that the mass of the convective envelope of the star is likely only 3.45 × 10-3 M⊙, and hence 5.2 M⊙ of rock is required to obtain the observed 0.128

Direct photon production at mid-rapidity in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV was studied in the transverse momentum range 0.9

Atmospheric measurements show that emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons are now the primary drivers of the positive growth in synthetic greenhouse gas (SGHG) radiative forcing. We infer recent SGHG emissions and examine the impact of future emissions scenarios, with a particular focus on proposals to reduce HFC use under the Montreal Protocol. If these proposals are

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of endometrioma and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), assessed by systematic transvaginal ultrasound examination, in women with subfertility accepted for their first assisted reproductive treatment and to describe the prevalence of endometriotic lesions in different anatomical locations of the pelvis. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Reproductive M

The decline of the two fungicides vinclozolin (formulation Ronilan FL) and triadimefon (formulation Bayleton Special) was studied in greenhouses. The decline of vinclozolin was also studied in climate chambers. In greenhouse experiments the fungicides were applied with either a low-volume sprayer or a high-volume sprayer, while in the climate chamber experiments the fungicide was applied with a pi

Whole cells of alkaliphilic Bacillus pseudofirmus AR-199, induced for beta-galactosidase activity, were used for the synthesis of 1-hexyl-beta-D-galactoside and 1-octyl-beta-D-galactoside, respectively, by transglycosylation reaction between lactose and the corresponding alcohol acceptor. The product yield was strongly influenced by the initial water content in the reaction mixture. Water content

Ändrade levnadsvanor i västerländska länder har lett till en ökning av sjukdomar så som IBS, infektioner i mag- och tarmkanal och allergier. Det har dessutom observerats att mikrofloran förändrats och goda bakterier så som Limosilactobacillus reuteri försvunnit. Mag- och tarmkanalen har därmed förlorat sina goda soldater mot patogena fiender med dysfunktionell balans som resultat. Därför är det inThis master thesis work was performed in collaboration with BioGaia AB, a Swedish biotech- company producing probiotic supplements containing the bacteria Limosilactobacillus reuteri. The products provided by BioGaia contain live microorganisms. Therefore, a method suitable for the correct enumeration of living cells is crucial in probiotic samples and today the so-called plate count method is use

OBJECTIVE-To report the incidence of sight-threatening vascular lesions in type 2 diabetic subjects without retinopathy after adopting a 3-year interval screening program. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-In all, 1,691 type 2 diabetic subjects with no detectable retinopathy in two 50 degrees red-free fundus photographs were scheduled for follow-up with photography 3 years later. Age at diabetes diagnos

This paper presents a wideband CMOS power amplifier intended for cellular handset applications. The circuit exploits injection locking to achieve a power gain of 20.5dB from a single stage amplifier. The maximum output power of 29dBm, with a peak drain- and power-added-efficiency (PAE) of 66% and 64%, respectively, occurs at a center frequency of 2GHz with a 3V supply. A cross-coupled cascode topo
