Diffuse precordial ST-segment elevation in inferior-right myocardial infarction
A right ventricular (RV) myocardial infarction (MI) may yield precordial ST-segment elevation
(STE). Accordingly, combined inferior and precordial STE may be produced during an
inferior-RV MI. Such an electrocardiographic picture may be mistakenly regarded as showing
wrapped left anterior descending artery (LADA) occlusion or double vessel occlusion. We
present a patient with inferior-RV MI and STE in the inferior, all precordial and right chest
leads, in whom the diffuse precordial STE was probably mistakenly regarded as showing
anterior MI. However, the STE resolution in V1-V2 and late R’ wave in V1, which were
combined with a recanalized RV branch, favored the RV origin of this STE. Furthermore, the
LADA was patent when V3-V6 showed severe ischemia, while its lesion was angiographically
stable. Thus its simultaneous occlusion was unlikely. The late R’ wave in V1 indicates RV
transmural conduction delay;as highlighted herein, it is diagnostic of a RV myocardial infarction.

Intermittency analysis of high-lift airfoil with slat cove fillers
Experimental measurements were carried out to assess the aeroacoustic characteristics of 30P30N airfoil fitted with two different types of slat cove fillers at the aeroacoustic facility at the University of Bristol. The results are presented for the angle of attack α = 18⊠at a free-stream velocity of Uâ = 30 m/s which corresponds to a chord-based Reynolds number of Rec = 7 Ă 10⊠. Simultaneous measurements of the unsteady surface pressure were made at several locations in the vicinity of slat cove and at the far-field location to gain a deeper understanding of the slat noise generation mechanism. The results are analyzed using a higher-order statistical approach to determine the nature of the broadband hump seen at low-frequency for the 30P30N high-lift airfoil observed in recent studies and also to further understand the tone generation mechanism within the slat cavity. A series of cross-correlation and coherence of the unsteady pressure measurements are carried out to identify and isolate the low-frequency hump. Wavelet analysis is performed to investigate the nature of the slat-wing resonant intermittent events in both time and frequency domains. The far-field noise measurement results showed that significant noise reduction can be achieved by the use of slat cove fillers. A series of far-field and near-field correlation are also presented to show the propagated noise from the slat.5s

Inclusive J/Ï production at mid-rapidity in pp collisions at âs = 5.02 TeV
Inclusive J/Ï production is studied in minimum-bias proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s = 5.02 TeV by ALICE at the CERN LHC. The measurement is performed at mid-rapidity (|y| < 0.9) in the dielectron decay channel down to zero transverse momentum pT, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of Lint = 19.4 ± 0.4 nbâ1. The measured pT-integrated inclusive J/Ï production cross sec- tion is dÏ/dy = 5.64 ± 0.22(stat.) ± 0.33(syst.) ± 0.12(lumi.) ÎŒb. The pT-differential cross section d2Ï/dpTdy is measured in the pT range 0â10 GeV/c and compared with state-of- the-art QCD calculations. The J/Ï ăpTă and ăpT2ă are extracted and compared with results obtained at other collision energies. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Measurement of Î (1520) production in pp collisions at âs=7TeV and pâPb collisions at âsNN=5.02TeV
The production of the Î (1520) baryonic resonance has been measured at midrapidity in inelastic pp collisions at s=7TeV and in pâPb collisions at sNN=5.02TeV for non-single diffractive events and in multiplicity classes. The resonance is reconstructed through its hadronic decay channel Î (1520) â pK - and the charge conjugate with the ALICE detector. The integrated yields and mean transverse momenta are calculated from the measured transverse momentum distributions in pp and pâPb collisions. The mean transverse momenta follow mass ordering as previously observed for other hyperons in the same collision systems. A Blast-Wave function constrained by other light hadrons (Ï, K, KS0, p, Î) describes the shape of the Î (1520) transverse momentum distribution up to 3.5GeV/c in pâPb collisions. In the framework of this model, this observation suggests that the Î (1520) resonance participates in the same collective radial flow as other light hadrons. The ratio of the yield of Î (1520) to the yield of the ground state particle Î remains constant as a function of charged-particle multiplicity, suggesting that there is no net effect of the hadronic phase in pâPb collisions on the Î (1520) yield

Measurement of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays as a function of multiplicity in p-Pb collisions at âsNN = 5.02 TeV
The multiplicity dependence of electron production from heavy-flavour hadron decays as a function of transverse momentum was measured in p-Pb collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV using the ALICE detector at the LHC. The measurement was performed in the centre-of-mass rapidity interval â1.07 < ycms< 0.14 and transverse momentum interval 2 < pT< 16 GeV/c. The multiplicity dependence of the production of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays was studied by comparing the pT spectra measured for different multiplicity classes with those measured in pp collisions (QpPb) and in peripheral p-Pb collisions (Qcp). The QpPb results obtained are consistent with unity within uncertainties in the measured pT interval and event classes. This indicates that heavy-flavour decay electron production is consistent with binary scaling and independent of the geometry of the collision system. Additionally, the results suggest that cold nuclear matter effects are negligible within uncertainties, in the production of heavy-flavour decay electrons at midrapidity in p-Pb collisions.

Measurement of prompt D0, D+, D*+, and DS+ production in pâPb collisions at âsNN = 5.02 TeV
The measurement of the production of prompt D0, D+, D*+, and DS+ mesons in protonâlead (pâPb) collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sNN = 5.02 TeV, with an integrated luminosity of 292 ± 11 ÎŒbâ1, are reported. Differential production cross sections are measured at mid-rapidity (â0.96 < ycms< 0.04) as a function of transverse momentum (pT) in the intervals 0 < pT< 36 GeV/c for D0, 1 < pT< 36 GeV/c for D+ and D*+, and 2 < pT< 24 GeV/c for D+ mesons. For each species, the nuclear modification factor RpPb is calculated as a function of pT using a proton-proton (pp) ref- erence measured at the same collision energy. The results are compatible with unity in the whole pT range. The average of the non-strange D mesons RpPb is compared with theoretical model predictions that include initial-state effects and parton transport model predictions. The pT dependence of the D0, D+, and D*+ nuclear modification factors is also reported in the interval 1 < pT< 36 GeV/c as a function of the collision centrality, and the central-to-peripheral ratios are computed from the D-meson yields measured in different centrality classes. The results are further compared with charged-particle measurements and a similar trend is observed in all the centrality classes. The ratios of the pT-differential cross sections of D0, D+, D*+, and DS+ mesons are also reported. The DS+ and D+ yields are compared as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity for several pT intervals. No modification in the relative abundances of the four species is observed with respect to pp collisions within the statistical and systematic uncertainties. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
