description: Prostate cancer is the most common malignant cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death among men in the United States. The major aim of this dissertation was to develop stimuli-responsive, targeted therapeutics for prostate cancer treatment. In the first part, 2-[3-(1,3-dicarboxypropyl)-ureido] pentanedioic acid (DUPA)- targeted N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer-docetaxel (DTX) conjugates were developed for treatment of prostate cancer expressing prostate-specific membrane antigen. The in vivo results show that the spacer length between targeting moieties (DUPA) and HPMA copolymer backbone can significantly affect the treatment efficacy of DTX conjugates against C4-2 tumor bearing nu/nu mice. In the second part, a tumor-homing peptide iRGD and histone deacetylase inhibitor valproic acid conjugate (VPA-GFLG-iRGD) was developed and its activities were tested against prostate cancer cells. The conjugate VPA-­GFLG-­iRGD and a mixture of valproic acid (VPA) and GFLG-­iRGD have shown similar cytotoxicity against DU-­ 145 prostate cancer cells. However, the treatment of DU-­145 cells with conjugate VPA-­ GFLG-­iRGD resulted in a decreased percentage of cells in the G2 phase, whereas the exposure of a mixture of VPA and GFLG-­iRGD led to an increased percentage of cells in the G2 phase. iv In the third part, tumor-homing and penetrating peptide iRGD-targeted HPMA copolymer doxorubicin conjugates (P-DOX-PLGLAG-iRGD) were developed for prostate cancer treatment. iRGD was attached to HPMA backbone via a matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP-2) cleavable spacer (-PLGLAG-). Doxorubicin (DOX) was conjugated to HPMA copolymer via a lysosomal cleavable tetrapeptide spacer (-GFLG-). The activities of P-DOX-PLGLAG-iRGD and related controls were assessed in both monolayer and multilayer prostate cancer cells. The results demonstrated that the conjugate P-DOX-PLGAGL-iRGD has better penetration ability than P-DOX and a mixture of P-DOX and iRGD. In the fourth part, a HPMA copolymer CXCR-4 antagonist (BKT140) conjugate (P-PLGLAG-BKT140) was developed for inhibiting prostate cancer cell migration. BKT140 was attached to the HPMA backbone via a matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP-2) cleavable spacer (-PLGLAG-). The in vitro cell cytotoxicity results show that the conjugation of BKT140 to HPMA did not impact the functionality of BKT140. The migration results show that both HPMA copolymer BKT140 conjugate and free BKT140 inhibited the CXCL12 induced PC-3 prostate cancer cell migration. The conjugate PPLGLAG- BKT140 has greater impact than that of free BKT140.

description: We describe a technique that enables strong, coherent coupling between individual optical emitters and guided plasmon excitations in conducting nano-structures at optical frequencies. We show that under realistic conditions, optical emission can be almost entirely directed into the plasmon modes. As an example, we describe an application of this technique involving efficient generation of single photons on demand, in which the plasmon is efficiently out-coupled to a dielectric waveguide.

description: Using the chiral algebra bootstrap, we revisit the simplest Argyres-Douglas (AD) generalization of Argyres-Seiberg S-duality. We argue that the exotic AD superconformal field theory (SCFT), $T_{3,{3\over2}}$, emerging in this duality splits into a free piece and an interacting piece, T_X, even though this factorization seems invisible in the Seiberg-Witten (SW) curve derived from the corresponding M5-brane construction. Without a Lagrangian, an associated topological field theory, a BPS spectrum, or even an SW curve, we nonetheless obtain exact information about T_X by bootstrapping its chiral algebra, chi(T_X), and finding the corresponding vacuum character in terms of Affine Kac-Moody characters. By a standard 4D/2D correspondence, this result gives us the Schur index for T_X and, by studying this quantity in the limit of small S^1, we make contact with a proposed S^1 reduction. Along the way, we discuss various properties of T_X: as an N=1 theory, it has flavor symmetry SU(3)XSU(2)XU(1), the central charge of chi(T_X) matches the central charge of the bc ghosts in bosonic string theory, and its global SU(2) symmetry has a Witten anomaly. This anomaly does not prevent us from building conformal manifolds out of arbitrary numbers of T_X theories (giving us a surprisingly close AD relative of Gaiotto's T_N theories), but it does lead to some open questions in the context of the chiral algebra / 4D N=2 SCFT correspondence.

description: This theoretical paper aims to advance the understanding of the early history of scientific thought marketing and highlight arguments able to elevate our understanding of how the reflections of the researchers of the time may eventually shed some light to the current discussion of the academic discipline, contributing to their own evolution. The discussions presented show how the different definitions of what can be considered a science related, while the apparent restriction of discipline to the development of rules of action, rather than generalizations and predicting phenomena, damaged the possible elevation of character scientific marketing.
Constraints on the Process that Regulates the Growth of Supermassive Black Holes Based on the Intrinsic Scatter in the M_bh-sigma Relation

description: We show that the observed scatter in the relations between the mass of supermassive black holes (SMBHs), M_bh, and the velocity dispersion sigma or mass M_sph of their host spheroid, place interesting constraints on the process that regulates SMBH growth in galaxies. When combined with the observed properties of early-type SDSS galaxies, the observed intrinsic scatters imply that SMBH growth is regulated by the spheroid velocity dispersion rather than its mass. The M_bh-M_sph relation is therefore a by-product of a more fundamental M_bh-sigma relation. We construct a theoretical model for the scatter among baryon modified dark matter halo profiles, out of which we generate a population of spheroid hosts and show that these naturally lead to a relation between effective radius and velocity dispersion of the form R_sph ~ sigma^1.5 with a scatter of ~0.2dex, in agreement with the corresponding projection of the fundamental plane for early type galaxies in SDSS. At the redshift of formation, our model predicts the minimum scatter that SMBHs can have at fixed velocity dispersion or spheroid mass under different formation scenarios. We also estimate the additional scatter that is introduced into these relations through collisionless mergers of purely stellar spheroids at z<1. We find that the observed scatter in the M_bh-sigma and M_bh-M_sph relations preclude the properties of dark matter halos from being the governing factor in SMBH growth. Finally, we show that SMBH growth governed by the properties of the host spheroid can lead to the observed values of scatter in the M_bh-sigma and M_bh-M_sph relations, only if the SMBH growth is limited by momentum or energy feedback over the dynamical time of the host spheroid.

At low temperatures and $q\gg 1$ we find the chemical potential $μ$ to have the same temperature dependence than the Fermi case. For $q\ll 1$, the function $μ(T)$ has in addition a linear dependence on $T$.

description: Thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) particles of a nearly constant swelling ratio and with polydispersity indices (PDIs) varying over a wide range (7.4% - 48.9%) are synthesized to study the effects of polydispersity on the dynamics of suspensions of soft PNIPAM colloidal particles. The PNIPAM particles are characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The zero shear viscosity ($η_{0}$) data of these colloidal suspensions, estimated from rheometric experiments as a function of the effective volume fraction $ϕ_{eff}$ of the suspensions, increases with increase in $ϕ_{eff}$ and shows a dramatic increase at $ϕ_{eff}=ϕ_{0}$. The data for $η_{0}$ as a function of $ϕ_{eff}$ fits well to the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) equation. It is observed that increasing PDIs results in increasingly fragile supercooled liquid-like behavior, with the parameter $ϕ_{0}$, extracted from the fits to the VFT equation, shifting towards higher $ϕ_{eff}$. The observed increase in fragility is attributed to the prevalence of dynamical heterogeneities (DHs) in these polydisperse suspensions, while the simultaneous shift in $ϕ_{0}$ is ascribed to the decoupling of the dynamics of the smallest and largest particles. Finally, it is observed that the intrinsic nonlinearity of these suspensions, estimated at the third harmonic near $ϕ_{0}$ in Fourier transform oscillatory rheological experiments, increases with increase in PDIs. Our results are in agreement with theoretical predictions and simulation results for polydisperse hard sphere colloidal glasses and clearly demonstrate that jammed suspensions of polydisperse colloidal particles can be effectively fluidized with increasing PDIs.

description: This article, essentially theoretical, emphasizes three mechanisms that govern economic transactions: price, authority and trust. In contrast to the strands that comprise the market and hierarchy as organizational forms diametrically opposed or as an evolutionary process, this paper postulates that price, authority, and also trust, can be analyzed as structures that can be combined and capable of producing a variety of different administrative forms. This article stresses the importance of trust and informal mechanisms of governance of exchange economies, and supports reflections that can contribute to the development of the area associated with economic transactions.

description: We discuss the quantum jump operation in an open system, and show that jump super-operators related to a system under measurement can be derived from the interaction of that system with a quantum measurement apparatus. We give two examples for the interaction of a monochromatic electromagnetic field in a cavity (the system) with 2-level atoms and with a harmonic oscillator (representing two different kinds of detectors). We show that derived quantum jump super-operators have `nonlinear' form which depends on assumptions made about the interaction between the system and the detector. A continuous transition to the standard Srinivas--Davies form of the quantum jump super-operatoris shown.

description: Recent interest in the Basketmaker-to-Pueblo (or Full Formative) transition on the Colorado Plateau indicates the need for better characterization of the subsistence strategies of the Basketmaker II period (500 BC-500 AD). While the human stable isotope record for this period is extensive, regional resource isotope data are less robust, inhibiting formal modeling. This dissertation presents new carbon and nitrogen isotope data for modern flora, the results of roasting experiments on banana yucca tissues, archaeofauna, and maize specimens from Cedar Mesa, Utah. Ecological patterning is not seen at the chosen scale of analysis; δ13C does not correlate with elevation gradients and δ15N does not correlate with visual assessments of cryptobiotic crust development. However, relative to other regions in the Intermountain West, Cedar Mesa flora and fauna (and previously published human values) show significant depletion in Nitrogen 15, suggesting that the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen by cryptobiotic crusts sets a unique δ15N baseline for local food-webs-potentially biasing formal modeling. Mixing models calculated using the Bayesian mixSIAR framework show strong correlations between feasible source proportions. Such correlation permits extrinsic linear constraints and a posteriori aggregation of resource proportions to substantially narrow diet model outcomes, and suggest that Cedar Mesa Basketmaker II diets were comprised of between 70 and 90% maize.

description: A galaxy's orientation is one of its most basic observable properties. Astronomers once assumed that galaxies are randomly oriented in space, however it is now clear that some have preferred orientations with respect to their surroundings. Chief among these are giant elliptical galaxies found in the centers of rich galaxy clusters. Numerous studies have shown that the major axes of these galaxies often share the same orientation as the surrounding matter distribution on larger scales. Using Hubble Space Telescope observations of 65 distant galaxy clusters, we show for the first time that similar alignments are seen at earlier epochs when the universe was only one-third its current age. These results suggest that the brightest galaxies in clusters are the product of a special formation history, one influenced by development of the cosmic web over billions of years.

description: The behavior of foam films is significant in many areas such as mineral flotation, food processing, and oil recovery. The film stability between two bubbles in foams has been motivated by different research interests. This dissertation contributes to the understanding of the film stability based on several methods of evaluation. First, the structure of thin water films during the rupture process was investigated by a new approach, which combines molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) with image processing analysis. The procedure was developed to convert the MDS trajectories to readable 3D images. The films were studied at different thicknesses by MDS to determine the critical thickness at which film ruptures. The potential energy of each thickness during simulation time was analyzed. A new procedure involving the calculation of molecular porosity was developed. Results indicate a critical molecular porosity value of 49% for film rupture. Second, disjoining pressure (DP) in thin films was examined by using Matlab. The surface charge regulation approach was applied to develop a new model for computing of DP. The case of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) adsorption from NaCl solution was studied. A model of film drainage rate was developed accordingly which showed a good agreement with experimental data from the literature. Finally, features of interfacial water at air-water interfaces of anionic SDS and cationic dodecyl amine hydrochloride (DDA) solutions were examined by combining sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy measurements and MDS. The SFG spectra and MDS results revealed that interfacial waters for SDS solutions was highly-ordered compared with those for DDA solutions. SFG results revealed that interfacial waters at pH 9 in both SDS and DDA solutions showed less-ordered than at pH 7. Experiments on foam stability and foam weight were conducted under the same conditions. Results revealed that for SDS solutions, foams were more stable at pH 7 than at pH 9. The opposite was observed for DDA solutions, in which case stability decreased when pH increased. Results were explained based on the extent of surfactant hydration at interfaces which is thought to account for film stability as revealed from results on foam stability.

description: A blue and variable optical counterpart of the X-ray transient XTE J0929-314 was identified on 2002 May 1. We conducted frequent BVRI broadband photometry on this object using the Mt Canopus 1-m telescope during May and June until it had faded to below 21'st magnitude. Nearly continuous I band CCD photometry on 2002 May 2, 3 and 4 revealed a ~ 10 % sinusoidal modulation at the binary period lasting ~ 6 cycles during the latter half of May 2. The phase indicates that the modulation may be due to a combination of emission by a hot spot on the disc and X-ray heating of the secondary. The emission generally trended bluer with B-I decreasing by 0.6 magnitudes during the observations but there were anomalous changes in colour during the first few days after optical identification when the I band flux decreased slightly while fluxes in other bands increased. Spectral analysis of the BVRI broadband photometry show evidence of a variable excess in the R and I bands. We suggest that this may be due to synchrotron emission in matter flowing out of the system and note that similar processes may have been responsible for anomalous V and I band measurements in 1998 of the persistent millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658.

American literature

description: At the end of the nineteenth century, many literary narratives of the American West repeated historical assumptions and genre tropes while material objects from the West indexed commodity flows and a national fetish for ethnography. Writers like John Wesley Powell, Elizabeth Bacon Custer, Owen Wister, and Mary Austin turned from plots and props to techniques of material assemblage to depict the diverse relations and dynamic tensions of the West. These writers engage in a practice of salvage, in which they separate materials from prior contexts of production or sentiment and combine them in new associations. Their salvage work appears as assemblages-scrapbooks, taxidermy animals, clothes, and weavings-and extends the methods and materials of these assemblages to the structures of their texts. Each work's composition foregrounds the incongruities of its elements, and each text becomes a borderland, or selvage, in which conflicts remain unresolved. The assemblages expose readers to "affective regionality," the feelings of "contingency, precarity, vulnerability," that occur between geographic places and rhetorical explanations. Each text, then, presents the writer's experience of "westness," of the fantastic and real, speculated and remembered, vast and intimate American West.

description: In this letter, the localization of terrestrial nodes when unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used as base stations is investigated. Particularly, a novel localization scenario based on received signal strength (RSS) from terrestrial nodes is introduced. In contrast to the existing literature, our analysis includes height-dependent path loss exponent and shadowing which results in an optimum UAV altitude for minimum localization error. Furthermore, the Cramer-Rao lower bound is derived for the estimated distance which emphasizes, analytically, the existence of an optimal UAV altitude. Our simulation results show that the localization error is decreased from over 300m when using ground-based anchors to 80m when using UAVs flying at the optimal altitude in an urban scenario.

description: Diante da dificuldade prática de atração de visitantes para locais onde existem projetos que visam o fomento do turismo, procurou-se analisar, por meio de pesquisa empírica, as relações existentes entre as fragilidades dos processos de planejamento turístico e as práticas de gestão adotadas por seus coordenadores. Para fundamentar esse questionamento, apresentam-se os conceitos de planejamento estratégico organizacional, planejamento estratégico de cidades e planejamento estratégico do turismo. A metodologia adotada foi a de estudo de caso, e o caso analisado refere-se às atividades relacionadas ao turismo desenvolvidas em Catas Altas/MG. Os resultados revelam a importância da aplicação de um plano estratégico adequado, que articule os interesses e responsabilidades dos diversos atores envolvidos de forma a garantir a aproximação constante dos objetivos pretendidos.

description: Failure to stick to a well-planned drug taking protocol may lead to drug inefficiency during medical treatments. In this dissertation, a stochastic model of the drug delivery process is studied, where the elimination of the drug between each dosage interval is modeled by a single or a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), and whether a new dosage of drug is taken or not is modeled by a stochastic impulsive condition. We first derive several important algebraic equations that can be used to determine steady state probability distribution of the drug concentration, as well as some other statistics and relations to help understand this probability distribution. We then show numerical results of this distribution using two different methods for different sets of parameter values. Both linear and nonlinear drug elimination rates are studied and discussed. We next examine the dynamics of this random drug taking process by considering the first exit time problems associated with this random iteration. Specifically, we study the mean of the first exit time the drug concentration passes an effective level. We show that this mean exit time is finite and we give bounds for these estimations. We then discuss the issue of whether the patient should take a single or double dose if a dose is missed on the previous day. We show, by constructing a stochastic model that incorporates both an effective level and a toxicity level, that for a fixed toxicity level, when the effective level is high, then taking a double dose is the better strategy than if only one dose is taken and vice versa. Finally, assuming drugs are injected into the body through extravascular routes on time at each scheduled time, i.e, assuming no randomness in the timing of drug intake, we apply singular perturbation techniques to obtain critical conditions under which there is a stable periodic solution of the model equations, assuming nonlinear elimination kinetics. We also construct composite expansions with this asymptotic solution and calculate typical important biomarkers that cannot be obtained otherwise.

description: The impossibility to clone an unknown quantum state is a powerful principle to understand the nature of quantum mechanics, especially within the context of quantum computing and quantum information. This principle has been generalized to quantitative statements as to what extent imperfect cloning is possible. We delineate an aspect of the border between the possible and the impossible concerning quantum cloning, by putting forward an entanglement-assisted scheme for simulating perfect cloning in the context of weak measurements. This phenomenon we call weak cloning of an unknown quantum state.

description: The Higgs boson discovery stirred interest in next-to-minimal supersymmetric models, due to the apparent fine-tuning required to accommodate it in minimal theories. To assess their naturalness, we compare fine-tuning in a $\mathbb{Z}_3$ conserving semi-constrained Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) to the constrained MSSM (CMSSM). We contrast popular fine-tuning measures with naturalness priors, which automatically appear in statistical measures of the plausibility that a given model reproduces the weak scale. Our comparison shows that naturalness priors provide valuable insight into the hierarchy problem and rigorously ground naturalness in Bayesian statistics. For the CMSSM and semi-constrained NMSSM we demonstrate qualitative agreement between naturalness priors and popular fine tuning measures. Thus, we give a clear plausibility argument that favours relatively light superpartners.

description: Conventional weak-coupling perturbation theory suffers from problems that arise from resonant coupling of successive orders in the perturbation series. Multiple-scale perturbation theory avoids such problems by implicitly performing an infinite reordering and resummation of the conventional perturbation series. Multiple-scale analysis provides a good description of the classical anharmonic oscillator. Here, it is extended to study the Heisenberg operator equations of motion for the quantum anharmonic oscillator. The analysis yields a system of nonlinear operator differential equations, which is solved exactly. The solution provides an operator mass renormalization of the theory.

description: The theory of transaction costs understands the market and the hierarchy as opposed organizational forms, or, alternatively, as poles of a seemingly evolutionary process. In this case, the theme associated with the relational confidence might be considered, even in the hybrid structures, redundant or unnecessary. This article is essentially theoretical and presents a complementary view. It suggests that price, the authority and also trust could be understood as structures that can be combined, capable of producing different organizational forms. In doing so, it reinforces, in the context of organizational studies, the importance and practicality of trust and informal administration mechanisms in the context of economic exchanges.

Metadata Disclosure Framework: open science vs privacy

description: Archives have been at the fore front of the provision of accessible data, in particular in the social sciences and have over the last 50 years developed robust governance mechanisms to guard privacy of individual data. This has led to a comparable typology across archives of open (no restrictions), licenced (institutional based licences) and restricted (access via secure settings). A ‘safety first’ principle has meant that availability of metadata for these restricted datasets has been minimal, even though for individual variables they may not be (and often are) not disclosive. The presentation will offer up a framework that could be actioned in both DDI-Codebook and DDI-Lifecycle elements (or by extensions to the existing standards) to allow the publication of variable statistics that meets the demands of open science and the FAIR principles, but respects the privacy and disclosure requirements of data providers.

description: A thermal/viscous instability of the accretion disc arising when hydrogen is partially ionized is the most popular explanation of the outbursts of both dwarf novae (DN) and soft X-ray transients (SXT). During an outburst, the disc expands and may reach the 3:1 resonance radius, triggering the so-called tidal instability. The consequences of such an instability are still debated; it is generally accepted that it results in the observed periodic modulation in SU UMa systems, and to large amplitude outbursts in these systems, the latter being more controversial. We discuss both the theoretical and observational evidences for such radius variations in DNs and SXTs, and the consequences of the application of the tidal instability in SXT.

Uncovering the role of flow rate in redox-active polymer flow batteries: simulation of reaction distributions with simultaneous mixing in tanks

description: Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are potential solutions for grid-scale energy storage, and deeper understanding of the effect of flow rate on RFB performance is needed to develop efficient, low-cost designs. In this study we highlight the importance of modeling tanks, which can limit the charge/discharge capacity of redox-active polymer (RAP) based RFBs. The losses due to tank mixing dominate over the polarization-induced capacity losses that arise due to resistive processes in the reactor. A porous electrode model is used to separate these effects by predicting the time variation of active species concentration in electrodes and tanks. A simple transient model based on species conservation laws developed in this study reveals that charge utilization and polarization are affected by two dimensionless numbers quantifying (1) flow rate relative to stoichiometric flow and (2) size of flow battery tanks relative to the reactor. The RFB's utilization is shown to increase monotonically with flow rate, reaching 90% of the theoretical value only when flow rate exceeds twenty-fold of the stoichiometric value. We also identify polarization due to irreversibilities inherent to RFB architecture as a result of tank mixing and current distribution internal to the reactor, and this polarization dominates over that resulting from ohmic resistances particularly when cycling RFBs at low flow rates and currents. These findings are summarized in a map of utilization and polarization that can be used to select adequate flow rate for a given tank size.

Casimir Effect as a Test for Thermal Corrections and Hypothetical Long-Range Interactions

description: We have performed a precise experimental determination of the Casimir pressure between two gold-coated parallel plates by means of a micromachined oscillator. In contrast to all previous experiments on the Casimir effect, where a small relative error (varying from 1% to 15%) was achieved only at the shortest separation, our smallest experimental error ($\sim 0.5$%) is achieved over a wide separation range from 170 nm to 300 nm at 95% confidence. We have formulated a rigorous metrological procedure for the comparison of experiment and theory without resorting to the previously used root-mean-square deviation, which has been criticized in the literature. This enables us to discriminate among different competing theories of the thermal Casimir force, and to resolve a thermodynamic puzzle arising from the application of Lifshitz theory to real metals. Our results lead to a more rigorous approach for obtaining constraints on hypothetical long-range interactions predicted by extra-dimensional physics and other extensions of the Standard Model. In particular, the constraints on non-Newtonian gravity are strengthened by up to a factor of 20 in a wide interaction range at 95% confidence.

description: Este artigo, resultado de reflexão teórica e de pesquisa empírica, procura investigar como funcionaram e como evoluíram as redes sociais de empreendedores provenientes de camadas de menor renda, que conseguiram, com o tempo, se projetar no mundo empresarial. Ao fazer isso, explora, por meio de pesquisa qualitativa comparativa associada aos recursos derivados da sociometria longitudinal, a história de dois empreendedores oriundos de camadas socioeconômicas mais vulneráveis. O referencial teórico ressaltou o processo empreendedor sob duas principais perspectivas. A primeira enfatizou os temas das redes sociais e do embeddedness, nos quais o empreendedor pode ser compreendido como ator condicionado e influenciado pela sua estrutura social. A segunda, por sua vez, destacou uma reflexão sobre as características pessoais, capazes de distinguir o empreendedor bem-sucedido dos demais. Os resultados sinalizam a relevância e o pioneirismo do estudo e sugerem ser o desenvolvimento dos empreendedores o resultado de uma combinação positiva entre suas características pessoais – entre as quais se inclui a capacidade de inovação – e as oportunidades presentes nas redes sociais e empresariais, capazes de evoluir com o tempo.

description: We present the results of a search for standard model Higgs boson production with decay to WW*, identified through the leptonic final states e+ e- nubar nu ,e mu nubar nu and mu+ mu- nubbar nu. This search uses 360 pb-1 of data collected from p pbar collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV by the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF II). We observe no signal excess and set 95% confidence level upper limits on the production cross section times branching ratio for the Higgs boson to WW* or any new scalar particle with similar decay products. These upper limits range from 5.5 to 3.2 pb for Higgs boson masses between 120 and 200 GeV/c2.
