With four Standard Model families, the LHC could discover the Higgs boson with a few fb^-1

The existence of a 4th SM family would produce a large enhancement of the gluon fusion channel of Higgs boson production at hadron colliders. In this case, the SM Higgs boson could be seen at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) via the golden mode (H->4l) with an integral luminosity of only a few fb^-1.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, 2 tables, references updated in v

Invariance quantum group of the fermionic oscillator

The fermionic oscillator defined by the algebraic relations cc^*+c^*c=1 and c^{2}=0 admits the homogeneous group O(2) as its invariance group. We show that, the structure of the inhomogeneous invariance group of this oscillator is a quantum group.Comment: 7 A4 page

Has the anomalous single production of the fourth SM family quarks decaying into light Higgs boson been observed by CDF?

Superjet events observed by the CDF Collaboration are interpreted as anomalous single production of the fourth SM family u_4 quark, decaying into a new light scalar particle. The specific predictions of the proposed mechanism are discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 1 tabl

Available Labor Force in Southern Middle Tennessee: An Underemployment Study

Conveniently located between the Nashville and Huntsville MSAs, the southern middle Tennessee counties are well positioned for businesses seeking to expand or relocate their operations. Although location itself is a critical asset, for sustainable economic growth the scope and issues related to counties’ human capital should be fully analyzed and documented. The goal of this study is to identify and analyze the scope and characteristics of the available labor force in the study area.underemployment, labor force, laborforce, Tennessee, southern middle Tennessee, counties, Bedford, Coffee, Franklin, Grundy, Lincoln, Moore, Warren, county, relocation, regional, human capital

Increasing Competitiveness through Strengthening Regional Industrial Clusters: Middle Tennessee Marketing Region

Final Presentation Summary of the Entire Study: After reviewing the broader socioeconomic dynamics and workforce issues in the Middle Tennessee Marketing Region, this study, commissioned by Middle Tennessee Industrial Development Association in Nashville, identifies regional industrial clusters and provides a detailed assessment of target industry clusters to present a detailed roadmap for the competitive regional economic development initiatives.

Contributions of Proposed Investment in the Northwest Tennessee Regional Port at Cates Landing to the Regional Economy

The Business and Economic Research Center (BERC), Middle Tennessee State University, is retained by the Northwest Tennessee Regional Port Authority to assess the contributions of the proposed investment in the Port at Cates Landing to the economy of the three-county region (Lake, Dyer, and Obion) and its surrounding areas.port, Cates Landing, Tennessee, northwest Tennessee, Mississippi River, counties, Lake, Dyer, Obion, county, intermodal transportation

Anomalous single production of the fourth SM family quarks at Tevatron

Possible single productions of fourth family u_{4} and d_{4} quarks via anomalous q_{4}qV interactions at Tevatron are studied. Signature of such processes are discussed and compared with the recent results from Tevatron.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, 4 table
