ColliderBit: a GAMBIT module for the calculation of high-energy collider observables and likelihoods

We describe ColliderBit, a new code for the calculation of high energy collider observables in theories of physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). ColliderBit features a generic interface to BSM models, a unique parallelised Monte Carlo event generation scheme suitable for large-scale supercomputer applications, and a number of LHC analyses, covering a reasonable range of the BSM signatures currently sought by ATLAS and CMS. ColliderBit also calculates likelihoods for Higgs sector observables, and LEP searches for BSM particles. These features are provided by a combination of new code unique to ColliderBit, and interfaces to existing state-of-the-art public codes. ColliderBit is both an important part of the GAMBIT framework for BSM inference, and a standalone tool for efficiently applying collider constraints to theories of new physics.     

The assessment of risk in relation to major hazards,with particular reference to nuclear reactors

The article concentrates mainly on the developing pattern of safety thinking and safety practices which have been brought about by, and in turn have influenced, the growth of modern industrial technology, particularly in the nuclear field.

The need to minimize the chance of accidents with serious consequences led to pursuit of safety by siting, by containment and by automatic built-in safety mechanisms; these are discussed.

Codes of practice and safety guidelines are becoming linked with more quantitative goals to achieve desired objectives in safety and reliability. This is particularly important in the assessment of major hazards.     

Design of two-dimensional recursive filters

The paper discusses a numerical algorithm for obtaining rational approximations to a given continuous function. This method offers the promise of a comprehensive solution to the problems of two-dimensional recursive digital filter design. This technique, called Chebyshev design, avoids the stability test inherent in present design methods.

Multiple pathways for the oxygenation of a ruthenium(II) dithiocarbamate complex: S-oxygenation and S-extrusion

The reactions of Ru(bpy)(2)(N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamate)(+), 1, with O-atom-transfer reagents such as hydrogen peroxide, m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, and oxone have been studied and several resulting derivatives isolated and structurally characterized. Both S-oxygenation and S-extrusion may occur depending upon reagent and conditions. Excess peroxygenation leads to a stable dioxygenate, Ru(bpy)(2)(N,N-dimethylthiocarbamatesulfinate-S,S)(+), 3. Stoichiometric oxygenation leads to mixtures of products from which two forms of monooxygenated species Ru(bpy)(2)(N,N-dimethylperoxydithiocarbamate-S,S), 2a, and Ru(bpy)(2)(N,N-dimethylperoxydithiocarbamate-O,S), 2b, and an S-extruded product, Ru(bpy)(2)(N,N-dimethylmonothiocarbamate)(+), 4, have been isolated as PF(6)(-) salts. The S,S-bound monooxygenate is unstable over time toward either O-atom-transfer reactions via disproportionation or reaction with phosphines or S-extrusion yielding complex 4 in which the thiocarbamate is bonded solely through the remaining S atom. All the complexes have been characterized by (1)H NMR, UV-vis, and mass spectroscopies, and all but the highly reactive 2a structurally determined by X-ray crystallography.     

Bonding in HNO-myoglobin as characterized by X-ray absorption and resonance raman spectroscopies

The EXAFS and resonance Raman spectra on the HNO-myoglobin adduct, 1, are consistent with the presence of HNO bound to a heme center. The three-dimensional structure about the heme center of 1 obtained from multiple-scattering (MS) analysis of the EXAFS of the heme protein yielded an Fe-N-O bond angle of 131 degrees and an Fe-N bond length of 1.82 A, which compare well with published values for model complexes containing RNO ligands. Resonance Raman spectra identified the nu(N=O) stretch at 1385 cm-1 (confirmed by 15N labeling), which corresponds well with those reported for small molecule HNO complexes. The wavelength of the nu(Fe-N) at 636 cm-1 of 1 is significantly higher than those of MbIINO and MbIIINO (554 and 595 cm-1, respectively). The XAFS, XANES, and resonance Raman data are all consistent with the structure deduced from the NMR experiments, providing more detail on the bonding between HNO and the metal center.
