Measurement with the ATLAS detector of multi-particle azimuthal correlations in p+Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=5.02 TeV

In order to study further the long-range correlations (“ridge”) observed recently in p+Pb collisions at View the MathML source, the second-order azimuthal anisotropy parameter of charged particles, v2, has been measured with the cumulant method using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. In a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 1 μb−1, the parameter v2 has been obtained using two- and four-particle cumulants over the pseudorapidity range |η|<2.5. The results are presented as a function of transverse momentum and the event activity, defined in terms of the transverse energy summed over 3.1<η<4.9 in the direction of the Pb beam. They show features characteristic of collective anisotropic flow, similar to that observed in Pb+Pb collisions. A comparison is made to results obtained using two-particle correlation methods, and to predictions from hydrodynamic models of p+Pb collisions. Despite the small transverse spatial extent of the p+Pb collision system, the large magnitude of v2 and its similarity to hydrodynamic predictions provide additional evidence for the importance of final-state effects in p+Pb reactions.We acknowledge the support of ANPCyT, Argentina; YerPhI, Armenia; ARC, Australia; BMWF and FWF, Austria; ANAS, Azerbaijan; SSTC, Belarus; CNPq and FAPESP, Brazil; NSERC, NRC and CFI, Canada; CERN; CONICYT, Chile; CAS, MOST and NSFC, China; COLCIENCIAS, Colombia; MSMT CR, MPO CR and VSC CR, Czech Republic; DNRF, DNSRC and Lundbeck Foundation, Denmark; EPLANET, ERC and NSRF, European Union; IN2P3-CNRS, CEA-DSM/IRFU, France; GNSF, Georgia; BMBF, DFG, HGF, MPG and AvH Foundation, Germany; GSRT and NSRF, Greece; ISF, MINERVA, GIF, DIP and Benoziyo Center, Israel; INFN, Italy; MEXT and JSPS, Japan; CNRST, Morocco; FOM and NWO, Netherlands; BRF and RCN, Norway; MNiSW, Poland; GRICES and FCT, Portugal; MERYS (MECTS), Romania; MES of Russia and ROSATOM, Russian Federation; JINR; MSTD, Serbia; MSSR, Slovakia; ARRS and MVZT, Slovenia; DST/NRF, South Africa; MICINN, Spain; SRC and Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden; SER, SNSF and Cantons of Bern and Geneva, Switzerland; NSC, Taiwan; TAEK, Turkey; STFC, the Royal Society and Leverhulme Trust, United Kingdom; DOE and NSF, United States
Rényi entropy and the thermodynamic stability of black holes

Thermodynamic stability of black holes, described by the Rényi formula as equilibrium compatible entropy function, is investigated. It is shown that within this approach, asymptotically flat, Schwarzschild black holes can be in stable equilibrium with thermal radiation at a fixed temperature. This implies that the canonical ensemble exists just like in anti-de Sitter space, and nonextensive effects can stabilize the black holes in a very similar way as it is done by the gravitational potential of an anti-de Sitter space. Furthermore, it is also shown that a Hawking–Page-like black hole phase transition occurs at a critical temperature which depends on the q-parameter of the Rényi formula.V.G.Cz. is grateful for discussions with Prof. T.S.

The detection of a SN IIn in optical follow-up observations of IceCube neutrino events

The IceCube neutrino observatory pursues a follow-up program selecting interesting neutrino events in real-time and issuing alerts for electromagnetic follow-up observations. In 2012 March, the most significant neutrino alert during the first three years of operation was issued by IceCube. In the follow-up observations performed by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF), a Type IIn supernova (SN IIn) PTF12csy was found 0.degrees 2 away from the neutrino alert direction, with an error radius of 0.degrees 54. It has a redshift of z = 0.0684, corresponding to a luminosity distance of about 300 Mpc and the Pan-STARRS1 survey shows that its explosion time was at least 158 days (in host galaxy rest frame) before the neutrino alert, so that a causal connection is unlikely. The a posteriori significance of the chance detection of both the neutrinos and the SN at any epoch is 2.2 sigma within IceCube's 2011/12 data acquisition season. Also, a complementary neutrino analysis reveals no long-term signal over the course of one year. Therefore, we consider the SN detection coincidental and the neutrinos uncorrelated to the SN. However, the SN is unusual and interesting by itself: it is luminous and energetic, bearing strong resemblance to the SN IIn 2010jl, and shows signs of interaction of the SN ejecta with a dense circumstellar medium. High-energy neutrino emission is expected in models of diffusive shock acceleration, but at a low, non-detectable level for this specific SN. In this paper, we describe the SN PTF12csy and present both the neutrino and electromagnetic data, as well as their analysis
Modelling cavity ventilation behind brick veneer cladding : how reliable are the common assumptions?

Throughout the years, different numerical HAM-simulation tools have been developed to assess and predict the heat, air and moisture response of building components. But, though commercially available and commonly applied in building practice, still, several simplifications and shortcomings exist in the common models. Probably the most important one, is the fact that most tools neglect or strongly simplify air transport, focusing only on heat and moisture transport. Especially for the analysis of wood frame constructions, these simplified models may cause a large discrepancy between simulation results and real performance. This study aims at a comparison of the outcomes of numerical HAM -simulations for wood frame constructions with experimental data of real test cases. In particular, the focus of this paper is on cavity ventilation behind brick veneer. Therefore, a simplified version of a wood frame wall with brick veneer cladding is studied in this paper. Different common modelling assumptions are compared. Furthermore, a detailed measuring campaign has been conducted at the VLIET test building of the KU Leuven to validate the different modelling approaches. By verifying the results of the numerical simulations by the data of real test cases, the reliability of the modelling assumptions can be analysed. The results of this study clearly show that simplified assumptions on cavity ventilation in HAM-models might cause large discrepancies between simulation results and in-situ measurements
microRNAs in colon cancer : a roadmap for discovery

Cancer omics data are exponentially created and associated with clinical variables, and important findings can be extracted based on bioinformatics approaches which can then be experimentally validated. Many of these findings are related to a specific class of non-coding RNA molecules called microRNAs (miRNAs) (post-transcriptional regulators of mRNA expression). The related research field is quite heterogeneous and bioinformaticians, clinicians, statisticians and biologists, as well as data miners and engineers collaborate to cure stored data and on new impulses coming from the output of the latest Next Generation Sequencing technologies. 
Here we review the main research findings on miRNA of the first 10 years in colon cancer research with an emphasis on possible uses in clinical practice. This review intends to provide a road map in the jungle of publications of miRNA in colorectal cancer, focusing on data availability and new ways to generate biologically relevant information out of these huge amounts of data
Measurement of the t dependence in exclusive photoproduction of Υ(1S) mesons at HERA

Artículo escrito por un elevado número de autores, solo se referencian el que aparece en primer lugar, el nombre del grupo de colaboración, si le hubiere, y los autores pertenecientes a la UAMThe exclusive photoproduction reaction γ p →Υ (1S)p has been studied with the ZEUS detector in ep collisions at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 468 pb−1. The measurement covers the kinematic range 60 < W < 220 GeV and Q 2 < 1 GeV2, where W is the photon–proton centre-of-mass energy and Q 2 is the photon virtuality. The exponential slope, b, of the t dependence of the cross section, where t is the squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex, has been measured, yielding b = 4.3+2.0 −1.3(stat.) +0.5 −0.6(syst.) GeV−2. This constitutes the first measurement of the t dependence of the γ p→Υ (1S)p cross sectionWe appreciate the contributions to the construction and maintenance of the ZEUS detector of many people who are not listed as authors. The HERA machine group and the DESY computing staff are especially acknowledged for their success in providing excellent operation of the collider and the data-analysis environment. We thank the DESY directorate for their strong support and encouragemen
Enhanced photoluminescence of Gd 2O 3:Eu 3+ nanophosphors with alkali (M = Li +, Na +, K +) metal ion co-doping

Gd 1.95Eu 0.04M 0.01O 3 (M = Li +, Na +, K +) nanophosphors have been synthesized by a low temperature solution combustion (LSC) method. Powder X-ray diffraction pattern (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-vis and photoluminescence (PL) measurements were carried out to characterize their structural and luminescent properties. The excitation and emission spectra indicated that the phosphor could be well excited by UV light (243 nm) and emit red light about 612 nm. The effect of alkali co-dopant on PL properties has been examined. The results showed that incorporation of Li +, Na + and K + in to Gd 2O 3:Eu 3+ phosphor would lead to a remarkable increase of photoluminescence. The PL intensity of Gd 2O 3:Eu 3+ phosphor was improved evidently by co-doping with Li + ions whose radius is less than that of Gd 3+ and hardly with Na +, K + whose radius is larger than that of Gd 3+. The effect of co-dopants on enhanced luminescence was mainly regarded as the result of a suitable local distortion of crystal field surrounding the Eu 3+ activator. These results will play an important role in seeking some more effective co-dopants. Â© 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
Evaluation of Phyllanthus polyphyllus L. Extract and its Active Constituent as a Source of Antifungal, Anti-​Aflatoxigenic, and Antioxidant Activities

The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the antifungal activities of Phyllanthus polyphyllus L. leaf ext., to isolate its active constituent 4-​o-​Me gallic acid (4-​o-​MGA)​, and to det. the antioxidant and antiaflatoxigenic properties.  The bioassay-​guided fractionation of methanol ext. led to the isolation of active compd. 4-​o-​methylgallic acid.  The methanol ext. showed the highest amt. of phenolic content (290 mg GAE​/g dry ext.)​, which indicated the involvement of phenolic compds. in the radical scavenging activity obsd. by the methanol ext.  The antioxidant capacity of 4-​o-​MGA was greater than the std. butylated hydroxytoluene, followed by methanol ext.  The concn.-​dependent growth inhibitory activity was obsd. against the tested fungi, in which the field fungi were susceptible, while the storage fungi were found to be more resistant including aflatoxigenic A. flavus.  A correlation was obsd. between fungal biomass and aflatoxin prodn. in control and treatment, there was a decrease in biomass of A. flavus and aflatoxin prodn. with increasing concn.  The aflatoxin prodn. was completely inhibited in vitro by methanol ext. at 1 mg​/mL and 4-​o-​MGA at 2 mg​/mL, but the mycelial growth was not inhibited completely.  The inhibition of aflatoxin prodn. was relatively higher than the mycelial growth inhibition of A. flavus, such behaviors might have been detd. by the presence of hydrolysable tannin 4-​o-​MGA in the ext., which is known to inhibit the aflatoxin biosynthesis.  The significant antioxidant and aflatoxin inhibitory activities of P. polyphyllus could be exploited for its application in preventing oxidative deterioration and fungal spoilage of food products
The British public's perception of the UK smart metering initiative: Threats and opportunities

© 2016 The Authors. Consumer acceptance of smart meters remains crucial in achieving the potential carbon emission reductions offered by advanced metering infrastructures. Given this, the present research used deliberative focus groups to examine what is needed to secure acceptance and engagement from domestic consumers with services, products and 'offers' in smarter power systems. Our findings suggest that consumers are able to identify not just threats relating to smart metering initiatives but opportunities as well. In particular, our focus group participants responded positively to the idea of an automated system that could be used to achieve energy savings in combination with time-of-use tariffs. We conclude by outlining suggestions for policy recommendations that may help consumer acceptance of smart meter enabled services be more readily achieved
Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980: a pooled analysis of 751 population-based studies with 4·4 million participants

Background: One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age-standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are affecting the number of adults with diabetes. Methods: We pooled data from population-based studies that had collected data on diabetes through measurement of its biomarkers. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends in diabetes prevalence - defined as fasting plasma glucose of 7·0 mmol/L or higher, or history of diagnosis with diabetes, or use of insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs - in 200 countries and territories in 21 regions, by sex and from 1980 to 2014. We also calculated the posterior probability of meeting the global diabetes target if post-2000 trends continue. Findings: We used data from 751 studies including 4 372 000 adults from 146 of the 200 countries we make estimates for Global age-standardised diabetes prevalence increased from 4·3% (95% credible interval 2·4-7·0) in 1980 to 9·0% (7·2-11·1) in 2014 in men, and from 5·0% (2·9-7·9) to 7·9% (6·4-9·7) in women. The number of adults with diabetes in the world increased from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014 (28·5% due to the rise in prevalence, 39·7% due to population growth and ageing, and 31·8% due to interaction of these two factors). Age-standardised adult diabetes prevalence in 2014 was lowest in northwestern Europe, and highest in Polynesia and Micronesia, at nearly 25%, followed by Melanesia and the Middle East and north Africa. Between 1980 and 2014 there was little change in age-standardised diabetes prevalence in adult women in continental western Europe, although crude prevalence rose because of ageing of the population. By contrast, age-standardised adult prevalence rose by 15 percentage points in men and women in Polynesia and Micronesia. In 2014, American Samoa had the highest national prevalence of diabetes (>30% in both sexes), with age-standardised adult prevalence also higher than 25% in some other islands in Polynesia and Micronesia. If post-2000 trends continue, the probability of meeting the global target of halting the rise in the prevalence of diabetes by 2025 at the 2010 level worldwide is lower than 1% for men and is 1% for women. Only nine countries for men and 29 countries for women, mostly in western Europe, have a 50% or higher probability of meeting the global target. Interpretation Since 1980, age-standardised diabetes prevalence in adults has increased, or at best remained unchanged, in every country. Together with population growth and ageing, this rise has led to a near quadrupling of the number of adults with diabetes worldwide. The burden of diabetes, both in terms of prevalence and number of adults aff ected, has increased faster in low-income and middle-income countries than in high-income countries
Defects in Chern-Simons theory, gauged WZW models on the brane, and level-rank duality.

We consider Hanany-Witten setups of 3- and 5-branes in type IIB string theory that realize  N=(1,0)N=(1,0) , (2, 0) and (1, 1) gauged WZW models in 1 + 1 dimensions. The gauged WZW models arise as theories residing on the boundary of D3 branes ending on D5 branes. From the point of view of low energy dynamics the D5 branes play the role of half-BPS co-dimension-1 defects (domain walls) in 3d  N=1N=1  or  N=2N=2  Chern-Simons theories. Extending the analysis of previous works on the subject of boundary conditions in (supersymmetric) Chern-Simons theory, we discuss in detail the field theory construction of a large class of Chern-Simons domain wall theories and its embedding in open string dynamics. Finally, we exhibit how standard brane moves that result to 3d Seiberg duality, translate in our setup to a generalized level-rank duality in gauged-WZW models
Diversity and internationalisation in interprofessional education.

This position paper considers the perspectives of introducing diversity and internationalisation to the interprofessional education (IPE) curriculum. Whilst this may seem like an onerous task in the challenging area of delivering quality IPE, the author seeks to demonstrate that the diversification of topics, disciplines and geographical locations can provide valuable student learning. By challenging the notion that IPE focusses on health related topics alone and by broadening students' education graduate attributes can be developed that enhance employability and address global issues for a skilled workforce capable of delivering complex care. The paper highlights interprofessional educational initiatives developed by the author that includes the introduction of topics such as arts and humanities and public protection as well as diversification of disciplines including hospitality management; graphic design and the police. The international initiatives included collaborations between students and staff from Scotland, Japan and Australia. The importance of promoting diversity in the interprofessional curriculum for health and social care students concurs with the strategies from the World Health Organisation's global workforce alliance and professional bodies such as the Higher Education Academy (UK). This paper encourages educators to engage with these strategies to acquire international perspectives on professional disciplines enabling students and faculty to develop a deeper understanding of other countries and cultures. IPE Educators can develop curricula to include such initiatives and ensure that tomorrow's workforce have the necessary knowledge and skills to become global professionals. By adopting these transferable initiatives educators can develop similar interventions appropriate to different cultural contexts
Asymmetric heat transfer in liquid-liquid segmented flow in microchannels

Heat transfer in segmented flow in microchannels can be significantly enhanced by recirculating vortices, due to the presence of interfaces. The processes of heat transfer in segmented flow subjecting to asymmetric boundary conditions are studied. Two types of boundary conditions are considered, asymmetric constant surface temperature and asymmetric constant surface heat flux. The paths of heat flow and the effects of the thermal conductivity, the plug length, and the Peclet number are studied. The results show different features from those at symmetric boundary conditions. The heat transfer process at asymmetric boundary conditions is controlled by both thermal advection and diffusion at the mid-plane of the channel. The coupling effects between the adjacent plugs complicate the process by the heat transfer across plug-plug interfaces. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
Measurements of tt charge asymmetry using dilepton final states in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV

The charge asymmetry in View the MathML source events is measured using dilepton final states produced in pp collisions at the LHC at View the MathML source. The data sample, collected with the CMS detector, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of View the MathML source. The measurements are performed using events with two oppositely charged leptons (electrons or muons) and two or more jets, where at least one of the jets is identified as originating from a bottom quark. The charge asymmetry is measured from differences in kinematic distributions, unfolded to the parton level, of positively and negatively charged top quarks and leptons. The View the MathML source and leptonic inclusive charge asymmetries are found to be View the MathML source and View the MathML source, respectively. These results, as well as charge asymmetry measurements made as a function of the invariant mass, rapidity, and transverse momentum of the View the MathML source system, are in agreement with predictions of the standard model
Review time in peer review: quantitative analysis and modelling of editorial workflows.

In this paper, we undertake a data-driven theoretical investigation of editorial workflows. We analyse a dataset containing information about 58 papers submitted to the Biochemistry and Biotechnology section of the Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society. We separate the peer review process into stages that each paper has to go through and introduce the notion of completion rate - the probability that an invitation sent to a potential reviewer will result in a finished review. Using empirical transition probabilities and probability distributions of the duration of each stage we create a directed weighted network, the analysis of which allows us to obtain the theoretical probability distributions of review time for different classes of reviewers. These theoretical distributions underlie our numerical simulations of different editorial strategies. Through these simulations, we test the impact of some modifications of the editorial policy on the efficiency of the whole review process. We discover that the distribution of review time is similar for all classes of reviewers, and that the completion rate of reviewers known personally by the editor is very high, which means that they are much more likely to answer the invitation and finish the review than other reviewers. Thus, the completion rate is the key factor that determines the efficiency of each editorial policy. Our results may be of great importance for editors and act as a guide in determining the optimal number of reviewers.A.F. & P.F. were supported by the Foundation for Polish Science (grant no.

An additional study of multi-muon events produced in pp̅ collisions at √s  = 1.96 TeV

We present one additional study of multi-muon events produced at the Fermilab Tevatron collider and recorded by the CDF II detector. We use a data set acquired with a dedicated dimuon trigger and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.9 fb[superscript −1]. We investigate the distribution of the azimuthal angle between the two trigger muons in events containing at least four additional muon candidates to test the compatibility of these events with originating from known QCD processes. We find that this distribution is markedly different from what is expected from such QCD processes and this observation strongly disfavors the possibility that multi-muon events result from an underestimate of the rate of misidentified muons in ordinary QCD events.United States.
