The relative isotopic abundance (δ13C, δ15N) during composting of agricultural wastes in relation to compost quality and feedstock

Variations in the relative isotopic abundance of C and N (δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N) were measured during the composting of different agricultural wastes using bench-scale bioreactors. Different mixtures of agricultural wastes (horse bedding manure?+?legume residues; dairy manure?+?jatropha mill cake; dairy manure?+?sugarcane residues; dairy manure alone) were used for aerobic–thermophilic composting. No significant differences were found between the δ¹³C values of the feedstock and the final compost, except for dairy manure?+?sugarcane residues (from initial ratio of ?13.6?±?0.2?‰ to final ratio of ?14.4?±?0.2?‰). δ¹⁵N values increased significantly in composts of horse bedding manure?+?legumes residues (from initial ratio of +5.9?±?0.1?‰ to final ratio of +8.2?±?0.5?‰) and dairy manure?+?jatropha mill cake (from initial ratio of +9.5?±?0.2?‰ to final ratio of +12.8?±?0.7?‰) and was related to the total N loss (mass balance). δ¹³C can be used to differentiate composts from different feedstock (e.g. C₃ or C₄ sources). The quantitative relationship between N loss and δ¹⁵N variation should be determined.     

\mathrm{W^+W^-} production and triple gauge boson couplings at LEP energies up to 183 GeV

A study of W-pair production in annihilations at LEP is presented, based on candidates corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 57 pb at GeV. Assuming that the angular distributions of the W-pair production and decay, as well as their branching fractions, are described by the Standard Model, the W-pair production cross-section is measured to be pb. Assuming lepton universality and combining with our results from lower centre-of-mass energies, the W branching fraction to hadrons is determined to be %. The number of W-pair candidates and the angular distributions for each final state (, are used to determine the triple gauge boson couplings. After combining these values with our results from lower centre-of-mass energies we obtain , and , where the errors include both statistical and systematic uncertainties and each coupling is determined by setting the other two couplings to the Standard Model value. The fraction of W bosons produced with a longitudinal polarisation is measured to be . All these measurements are consistent with the Standard Model expectations.

采用傅里叶变换红外光谱技术(FTIR)研究了分属不同蒴齿类型的23种藓类植物的红外光谱.通过比较光谱特征典型的5个代表藓种间红外光谱图的差异,确定了1 790～1 330 cm-1,1 200～960 cm-1,895～830 cm-1和725～655cm-1四个光谱特征区间.23种藓类植物在该四个特征区间的光谱数据分析结果表明,基于二阶导数红外光谱结合分级聚类分析(hierarchical cluster analysis,HCA)和主成分分析法(principal component analysis,PCA)能很好地区分出五大藓类植物类型:泥炭藓类、线齿类、顶蒴单齿类、顶蒴双齿类、侧蒴双齿类,与以蒴齿结构作为最基本特征的传统藓纲分类系统相一致.因此,FTIR光谱结合多元分析方法可作为一种实用的工具运用于苔藓植物系统学研究中.     

Search for B0 decays to invisible final states and to nunugamma

We establish upper limits on branching fractions for B0 decays to final states where the decay products are purely invisible (i.e., no observable final state particles) and for B0 decays to nunugamma. Within the standard model, these decays have branching fractions that are below current experimental sensitivity, but various models of physics beyond the standard model predict significant contributions from these channels. Using 88.5 x 10(6) BB pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II e(+)e- storage ring at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, we establish upper limits at the 90% confidence level of 22 x 10(-5) for the branching fraction of B0-->invisible and 4.7 x 10(-5) for the branching fraction of B0-->nunugamma.     

Central pseudorapidity gaps in events with a leading antiproton at the fermilab tevatron pp collider

We report a measurement of the fraction of events with a large pseudorapidity gap deltaeta within the pseudorapidity region available to the proton dissociation products X in p+p-->p+X. For a final state p of fractional momentum loss xi(p) and 4-momentum transfer squared t(p) within 0.063 is found to be 0.246+/-0.001 (stat)+/-0.042 (syst) [0.184+/-0.001 (stat)+/-0.043 (syst)]. Our results are compared with gap fractions measured in minimum bias pp collisions and with theoretical expectations.     

Production and decay of xi(c)(0) at BABAR

Using 116.1 fb(-1) of data collected by the BABAR detector, we present an analysis of xi(c)(0) production in B decays and from the cc continuum, with the xi(c)(0) decaying into omega- K+ and xi- pi+ final states. We measure the ratio of branching fractions B(xi(c)(0) --> omega- K+)/B(xi(c)(0) --> xi- pi+) spectrum is measured on and 40 MeV below the upsilon(4S) resonance. From these spectra the branching fraction product B(B --> xi(c)(0)X) x B(xi(c)(0) --> xi- pi+) is measured to be (2.11 +/- 0.19 +/- 0.25) x 10(-4), and the cross-section product sigma(e+ e- --> xi(c)(0)X) x B(xi(c)(0) --> xi- pi+) from the continuum is measured to be (388 +/- 39 +/- 41) fb at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV.

衰减全反射傅里叶变换红外光谱技术结合模式识别进行油品鉴别

海洋溢油是主要环境灾害之一,而且近年来其发生频率呈上升趋势。快速地对油品进行种类鉴别、来源评估有利于及时采取应急措施,因此具有重要意义。采用衰减全反射傅里叶变换红外光谱法(ATR-FTIR)对25种不同来源的油品进行了检测,用不同数据预处理方法对原始光谱进行了预处理,继而用主成分分析(PCA)和系统聚类分析(HCA)方法对光谱进行了分类鉴别。结果表明用多元散射校正(MSC)和连续小波变换(CWT)方法进行数据预处理可以提高分类的准确性,使分类结果与油样的实际来源一致。该方法对正构烷烃差异较大的油品进行了很好的区分,但对差异较小的油品其分辨能力仍有一定局限性。因此提供了一种快速的油品鉴别方法,可用于溢油事件的初步鉴定,从而为油品的进一步鉴定提供有用信息。     

Study of tau decays to six pions and a neutrino

The tau decays to six-pion final states have been studied with the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. The measured branching fractions are B(tau(-)-->2pi(-)pi(+)3pi(0)nu(tau)) = (2.2+/-0.3+/-0.4)x10(-4) and B(tau(-)-->3pi(-)2pi(+)pi(0)nu(tau)) = (1.7+/-0.2+/-0.2)x10(-4). A search for substructure in these decays shows that they are saturated by intermediate states with eta or omega mesons. We present the first observation of the decay tau(-)-->2pi(-)pi(+)omega(nu)tau and the branching fraction is measured to be (1.2+/-0.2+/-0.1)x10(-4). The measured branching fractions are in good agreement with the isospin expectations but somewhat below the conserved-vector-current predictions.     

Observation of the decay B- → D(s)((*)+) K- ℓ- ν(ℓ)

We report the observation of the decay B- → D(s)((*)+) K- ?- ν(?) based on 342 fb(-1) of data collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+ e- storage rings at SLAC. A simultaneous fit to three D(s)(+) decay chains is performed to extract the signal yield from measurements of the squared missing mass in the B meson decay. We observe the decay B- → D(s)((*)+) K- ?- ν(?) with a significance greater than 5 standard deviations (including systematic uncertainties) and measure its branching fraction to be B(B- → D(s)((*)+) K- ?- ν(?)) = [6.13(-1.03)(+1.04)(stat)±0.43(syst)±0.51(B(D(s)))]×10(-4), where the last error reflects the limited knowledge of the D(s) branching fractions.     

Hypothermic renal preservation with a sucrose/ polyethylene glycol solution in a rabbit renal transplant model

Renal preservation at for 24 hours at hypothermia was studied in a rabbit model after flush cooling with sucrose-based solution (SBS), compared with a standard preservation solution (in this case, Marshall's Hypertonic Citrate solution - HCA). Polyethylene glycol supplementation to SBS (SBS-PEG) was also investigated. Renal function was measured by plasma creatinine assays during 1 months post transplantation, and pathology of the explanted kidneys was undertaken. Results showed that survival at 28 days was similar in all groups, (HCA - 3 out of 6; SBS - 2 out of 5; SBS-PEG - 3 out of 5), and there were no differences in recovery of plasma creatinine values. Histopathological evaluation of the grafts indicated that SBS preservation resulted in more severe damage after transplantation (P less than 0.05 in both corticomedullary region and medulla compared to HCA), whilst addition of PEG reduced the damage score to that seen with HCA. SBS can be used as a simple, inexpensive preservation solution for kidney cold storage provided that PEG is used as an additional colloid.     

Observation of chi(c2) production in B meson decay

We report the first observation of chi(c2) production in B meson decays. We find an inclusive B-->chi(c2)X branching fraction of (1.80(+0.23)(-0.28)+/-0.26) x 10(-3). The data set, collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e(+)e(-) collider, consists of 31.9 x 10(6) BB events. We also present branching fractions and momentum spectra for both chi(c1) and chi(c2) production.     

Multilayer piezocomposite structures with piezoceramic volume fractions determined by mathematical optimisation

Piezocomposite materials are now widely used in broadband underwater sonar for ultrasound generation and detection because of their recognised advantages over piezoceramic devices. However, it is difficult to make single-layer piezocomposite devices to operate effectively at frequencies below 100 kHz. Instead, multilayer composite stacks can be used. If this solution is adopted, interesting effects can be achieved by choosing appropriate ceramic volume fractions for different layers in the stack, as volume fraction plays a key role in achieving the desired performance. In this paper we describe a theoretical study of 1-3 piezocomposite transducers with five layers each with a different volume fraction. Our work is based mainly on our own special purpose computer code which solves the one-dimensional wave equation by matrix manipulation, with additional support from the PZ Flex finite element analysis package. The choice of volume fractions is difficult because of the multifaceted nature of the problem, with a very large number of possible combinations and complex dependence of material properties, and hence transducer sensitivity and frequency response on the volume fractions. Therefore, we have used the stochastic optimisation technique of simulated annealing implemented in MATLAB code to determine the volume fraction of each layer. The optimisation cost function we have used is maximisation of gain-bandwidth product. We have found that significant increases in gain-bandwidth product can be achieved compared with the use of the same volume fraction in each layer, far exceeding the 35% reported previously with trial-and-error volume fraction adjustment. This suggests that improvements in practical device performance are possible.     

Creep and fluidity of a real granular packing near jamming

We study the internal dynamical processes taking place in a granular packing below yield stress. At all packing fractions and down to vanishingly low applied shear, a logarithmic creep is observed. The experiments are analyzed using a viscoelastic model which introduces an internal, time-dependent, fluidity variable. For all experiments, the creep dynamics can be rescaled onto a unique curve which displays jamming at the random-close-packing limit. At each packing fraction, we measure a stress corresponding to the onset of internal granular reorganization and a slowing down of the creep dynamics before the final yield.     

Production and decay of Omegac0

We present an analysis of inclusive Omega(c)(0) baryon production and decays in 230.5 fb(-1) of data recorded with the BABAR detector. Omega(c)(0) baryons are reconstructed in four final states (Omega(-)pi(+), Omega(-)pi(+)pi(0), Omega(-)pi(+)pi(+)pi(-), Xi(-)K(-)pi(+)pi(+)) and the corresponding ratios of branching fractions are measured. We also measure the momentum spectrum in the e(+)e(-) center-of-mass frame. From the spectrum, we observe Omega(c)(0) production from B decays and in cc events, and extract the two rates of production.
