Ωcγ→Ωc∗\Omega_c \gamma \rightarrow\Omega_c^\ast transition in lattice QCD

We study the electromagnetic $\Omega_c \gamma \rightarrow\Omega_c^\ast$ transition in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD, which gives access to the dominant decay mode of $\Omega_c^\ast$ baryon. The magnetic dipole and the electric quadrupole transition form factors are computed. The magnetic dipole form factor is found to be mainly determined by the strange quark and the electric quadrupole form factor to be negligibly small, in consistency with the quark model. We also evaluate the helicity amplitudes and the decay rate.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure. Added references and discussio

Ordinary Kriging Dalam Estimasi Curah Hujan Di Kota Semarang

In a measurement of rainfall data, not all points are gauges because of a limitation. Given these limitations, a method is needed to estimate a value for points that are not measurable. Kriging as geostatistical analysis used in the estimation of a value in a point which is not sampled based sample points in the surrounding areas by taking into account the spatial correlation using a spatial weighting, where the correlation is shown by the variogram. Ordinary Kriging is the most widely used. By using the experimental variogram were compared with some theoretical variogram (Exponential, Gaussian, Spherical) selected one of the best semivariogram models to estimate the value that want to find. In this study, conducted rainfall estimates in Semarang in February where the result obtained is the value of rainfall each district and villag

Kajian Program Kesehatan dan Keselamatan Kerja (K3) Rumah Potong Hewan (RPH) di DKI Jakarta

The slaughterhouse is responsible for the Occupational Safety and Health of the workers and other people related to the activities. The purpose of the study was to examine the implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety program at abattoir in DKI Jakarta. This study uses the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) method as a guideline for identifying potential hazards and health problems in slaughterhouses. The results of the hazard severity assessment (Severity) based on risk analysis and risk evaluation show that the percentage of the impact of very light risk is 7%, light risk is 34% the impact of currently risk is 34%, the impact of heavy risk is 21% and the impact of fatal risk is 3%. The probability of an accident (likelihood) in the three abattoirs shows that abattoir C is less likely to have an accident with a percentage of 53%. The smaller of production capacity of an abattoir, the less likely an accident will occur. Risk control can be carried out by elimination, substitution, technicalcontrol, administrative control, and the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of social media on smartphone purchase interest through the hedonic lifestyle as an intervening variable. The population in this study were iPhone smartphone users in the city of Surakarta and surrounding areas. The sampling technique in this study uses non propability sampling by using Accidential Sampling or providing a link to fill out a questionnaire using Google Form. The number of samples in this study were 100 respondents. Analysis of the data in this study is to use the Path Analysis test with SPSS version 20. Where the variables used in this research are social media, purchase interest, and hedonic lifestyle. The results showed that social media had a significant positive effect on buying interest, Social Media had a significant positive effect on hedonic lifestyles, hedonic lifestyles had a significant positive effect on buying interest, social media had a significant positive effect on buying interest mediated by hedonic lifestyles. It can be concluded that the results of the study prove that the hedonic lifestyle has a role as an intervening variable between social media and buying interest

Radiative transitions of doubly charmed baryons in lattice QCD

We evaluate the spin-3/2→spin-1/2 electromagnetic transitions of the doubly charmed baryons on 2+1 flavor, 323×64 PACS-CS lattices with a pion mass of 156(9) MeV/c2. A relativistic heavy quark action is employed to minimize the associated systematic errors on charm-quark observables. We extract the magnetic dipole, M1, and the electric quadrupole, E2, transition form factors. In order to make a reliable estimate of the M1 form factor, we carry out an analysis by including the effect of excited-state contributions. We find that the M1 transition is dominant and light degrees of freedom (u/d- or s-quark) play the leading role. E2 form factors, on the other hand, are found to be negligibly small, which in turn, have a minimal effect on the helicity and transition amplitudes. We predict the decay widths and lifetimes of Ξcc∗+,++ and Ωcc∗+ based on our results. Finite size effects on these ensembles are expected to be around 1%. Differences in kinematical and dynamical factors with respect to the Nγ→Δ transition are discussed and compared to nonlattice determinations while keeping possible systematic artifacts in mind. A comparison to Ωcγ→Ωc∗ transition and a discussion on systematic errors related to the choice of heavy quark action are also given. Results we present here are particularly suggestive for experimental facilities such as LHCb, PANDA, Belle II, and BESIII to search for further states.TÜBİTAK ; KAKENHIPublisher versio

Muc2-dependent microbial colonization of the jejunal mucus layer is diet sensitive and confers local resistance to enteric pathogen infection.

Intestinal mucus barriers normally prevent microbial infections but are sensitive to diet-dependent changes in the luminal environment. Here we demonstrate that mice fed a Western-style diet (WSD) suffer regiospecific failure of the mucus barrier in the small intestinal jejunum caused by diet-induced mucus aggregation. Mucus barrier disruption due to either WSD exposure or chromosomal Muc2 deletion results in collapse of the commensal jejunal microbiota, which in turn sensitizes mice to atypical jejunal colonization by the enteric pathogen Citrobacter rodentium. We illustrate the jejunal mucus layer as a microbial habitat, and link the regiospecific mucus dependency of the microbiota to distinctive properties of the jejunal niche. Together, our data demonstrate a symbiotic mucus-microbiota relationship that normally prevents jejunal pathogen colonization, but is highly sensitive to disruption by exposure to a WSD

Maternal γδ T cells shape offspring pulmonary type 2 immunity in a microbiota-dependent manner.

Immune development is profoundly influenced by vertically transferred cues. However, little is known about how maternal innate-like lymphocytes regulate offspring immunity. Here, we show that mice born from γδ T cell-deficient (TCRδ-/-) dams display an increase in first-breath-induced inflammation, with a pulmonary milieu selectively enriched in type 2 cytokines and type 2-polarized immune cells, when compared with the progeny of γδ T cell-sufficient dams. Upon helminth infection, mice born from TCRδ-/- dams sustain an increased type 2 inflammatory response. This is independent of the genotype of the pups. Instead, the offspring of TCRδ-/- dams harbors a distinct intestinal microbiota, acquired during birth and fostering, and decreased levels of intestinal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as pentanoate and hexanoate. Importantly, exogenous SCFA supplementation inhibits type 2 innate lymphoid cell function and suppresses first-breath- and infection-induced inflammation. Taken together, our findings unravel a maternal γδ T cell-microbiota-SCFA axis regulating neonatal lung immunity

The Swiss Primary Hypersomnolence and Narcolepsy Cohort study (SPHYNCS): Study protocol for a prospective, multicentre cohort observational study.

Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is a disorder with well-established markers and a suspected autoimmune aetiology. Conversely, the narcoleptic borderland (NBL) disorders, including narcolepsy type 2, idiopathic hypersomnia, insufficient sleep syndrome and hypersomnia associated with a psychiatric disorder, lack well-defined markers and remain controversial in terms of aetiology, diagnosis and management. The Swiss Primary Hypersomnolence and Narcolepsy Cohort Study (SPHYNCS) is a comprehensive multicentre cohort study, which will investigate the clinical picture, pathophysiology and long-term course of NT1 and the NBL. The primary aim is to validate new and reappraise well-known markers for the characterization of the NBL, facilitating the diagnostic process. Seven Swiss sleep centres, belonging to the Swiss Narcolepsy Network (SNaNe), joined the study and will prospectively enrol over 500 patients with recent onset of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), hypersomnia or a suspected central disorder of hypersomnolence (CDH) during a 3-year recruitment phase. Healthy controls and patients with EDS due to severe sleep-disordered breathing, improving after therapy, will represent two control groups of over 50 patients each. Clinical and electrophysiological (polysomnography, multiple sleep latency test, maintenance of wakefulness test) information, and information on psychomotor vigilance and a sustained attention to response task, actigraphy and wearable devices (long-term monitoring), and responses to questionnaires will be collected at baseline and after 6, 12, 24 and 36 months. Potential disease markers will be searched for in blood, cerebrospinal fluid and stool. Analyses will include quantitative hypocretin measurements, proteomics/peptidomics, and immunological, genetic and microbiota studies. SPHYNCS will increase our understanding of CDH and the relationship between NT1 and the NBL. The identification of new disease markers is expected to lead to better and earlier diagnosis, better prognosis and personalized management of CDH
