Examining the cancellation mechanism of neutron EDM in a model with dilaton-dominated susy breaking
We examine the cancellation mechanism between the different contributions to
the electric dipole moment of the neutron in a model with dilaton-dominated
SUSY breaking. We find these accidental cancellations occur at few points in
parameter space. For a wide region of this space we must constrain the phase of
to be of order and have the phases of and strongly
correlated in order to have small neutron EDM. Moreover, we consider the
indirect CP violation parameter in this region where the electric
dipole moment is less than the experimental limit and find that we can generate
of order
Assessing the significance of rate and time pulse spraying in top spray granulation of urea fertilizer using Taguchi Method
Studies in urea granulation process using Top Spray Fluidized Bed Granulator (TSFBG)
is still limited and requires in-depth research about the effectiveness and influence of droplets to the
formation of urea granule (UG). Rate and time interval of spraying technique (Pulse) significantly
influence the physical properties of urea granules. Cassava starch dissolves in water was selected as
the binder released at various time interval to observe impact of spray droplet on UG size
formation. Using Taguchi Method, the study had identified three leading factors contributed to the
formation of droplet size namely volume of binder (VOB), time pulse of spraying (TPS) and
spraying rate (SR). These factors were then evaluated in terms of the influence on response as
signal-to-noise analysis (S/N ratios) from Taguchi to validate UG size in range 2 mm to 4 mm from
screening process with respect to the actual experimental data. These results were useful for future
experiment reference to determine pressure drop and surface contact during interaction between
droplet and urea powder partic

Sect and House in Syria: History, Architecture, and Bayt Amongst the Druze in Jaramana
This paper explores the connections between the architecture and materiality of houses and the social idiom of bayt (house, family). The ethnographic exploration is located in the Druze village of Jaramana, on the outskirts of the Syrian capital Damascus. It traces the histories, genealogies, and politics of two families, bayt Abud-Haddad and bayt Ouward, through their houses. By exploring the two families and the architecture of their houses, this paper provides a detailed ethnographic account of historical change in modern Syria, internal diversity, and stratification within the intimate social fabric of the Druze neighbourhood at a time of war, and contributes a relational approach to the anthropological understanding of houses
Terretonin N: A New Meroterpenoid from Nocardiopsis sp.
Hamed A, Abdel-Razek AS, Frese M, et al. Terretonin N: A New Meroterpenoid from Nocardiopsis sp. Molecules. 2018;23(2): 299.Terretonin N (1), a new highly oxygenated and unique tetracyclic 6-hydroxymeroterpenoid, was isolated together with seven known compounds from the ethyl acetate extract of a solid-state fermented culture of Nocardiopsis sp. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. The structure and absolute configuration of 1 were unambiguously determined by X-ray crystallography. The isolation and taxonomic characterization of Nocardiopsis sp. is reported. The antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of the strain extract and compound 1 were studied using different microorganisms and a cervix carcinoma cell line, respectively
CP violation in supersymmetric model with non-degenerate A-terms
We study the CP phases of the soft supersymmetry breaking terms in
string-inspired models with non-universal trilinear couplings. We show that
such non-universality plays an important role on all CP violating processes. In
particular these new supersymmetric sources of CP violation may significantly
contribute to the observed CP phenomena in kaon physics while respecting the
severe bound on the electric dipole moment of the neutron.Comment: 14 pages, Late
Sterile neutrino dark matter in extension of the standard model and galactic 511 keV line
Sterile right-handed neutrinos can be naturally embedded in a low scale
gauged extension of the standard model. We show that, within a low
reheating scenario, such a neutrino is an interesting candidate for dark
matter. We emphasize that if the neutrino mass is of order of MeV, then it
accounts for the measured dark matter relic density and also accommodates the
observed flux of 511 keV photons from the galactic bulge.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure, references added, final version appeared in JCA
Analysis of the ATR-Chk1 and ATM-Chk2 pathways in male breast cancer revealed the prognostic significance of ATR expression
The ATR-Chk1 and ATM-Chk2 pathways are central in DNA damage repair (DDR) and their over-activation may confer aggressive molecular features, being an adaptive response to endogenous DNA damage and oncogene-induced replication stress. Herein we investigated the ATR-Chk1 and ATM-Chk2 signalings in male breast cancer (MBC). The expression of DDR kinases (pATR, pATM, pChk1, pChk2, and pWee1) and DNA damage markers (pRPA32 and Îł-H2AX) was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 289 MBC samples to assess their association. Survival analyses were carried out in 112 patients. Survival curves were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank test. Cox proportional regression models were generated to identify variables impacting survival outcomes. The expression of pATR conferred poorer survival outcomes (log rank pâ=â0.013, pâ=â0.007 and pâ=â0.010 for overall, 15- and 10-year survival, respectively). Multivariate Cox models of 10-year survival and overall indicated that pATR expression, alone or combined with pChk2, was an independent predictor of adverse outcomes (10-year survival: pATR: HR 2.74, 95% CI: 1.23â6.10; pATR/pChk2: HR 2.92, 95% CI: 1.35â6.33; overall survival: pATR: HR 2.58, 95% CI: 1.20â5.53; pATR/pChk2: HR 2.89, 95% CI: 1.37â6.12). Overall, the ATR/ATM-initiated molecular cascade seems to be active in a fraction of MBC patients and may represent a negative prognostic factor
