Long-distance radiative corrections to the di-pion tau lepton decay
We evaluate the model-dependent piece of O(alpha) long-distance radiative
corrections to tau^- \to \pi^- \pi^0\nu_{\tau} decays by using a meson
dominance model. We find that these corrections to the di-pion invariant mass
spectrum are smaller than in previous calculations based on chiral perturbation
theory. The corresponding correction to the photon inclusive rate is tiny
(-0.15%) but it can be of relevance when new measurements reach better
precision.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures. An estimate of the shift produced in the
evaluation of the h.v.p. contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment
is added. Version to appear in Phys. Rev.
Avances en la calidad de las respuestas a preguntas de probabilidad después de una actividad de aprendizaje con tecnología
En la presente comunicación, se describen y comparan las respuestas de estudiantes de secundaria (13-14 años) a tres preguntas de un cuestionario de probabilidad antes y después de haber tenido actividades de aprendizaje con apoyo de tecnología. Las preguntas analizadas se relacionan con las nociones de variable aleatoria, espacio muestral, frecuencias y distribución en sus formas más elementales. Se asume la hipótesis de que los recursos que proporciona la tecnología permiten que los estudiantes perciban que las unidades de análisis de la probabilidad son clases de experiencias y no experiencias aisladas. Con esta hipótesis se pueden explicar algunos de los avances que los estudiantes alcanzaron en las respuestas al post-test en relación con las dadas en el pre-test. Las actividades realizadas pueden proporcionar a los estudiantes referentes para los conceptos abstractos de probabilidad que estudiarán más adelante
Proximal, Microbiological and Color Evaluation and Comparison of the Meat of Llamas (Lama glama) and Alpacas (Vicugna pacos)
In this study, the meat of llama (Lama glama) and alpaca (Vicugna pacos) were examined. Data were analyzed through the analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the Centurion Statgraphics software. The bromatological characteristics of the meat were evaluated through proximal analysis. A high percentage of protein content was identified, with a higher value in the llama meat (24.025%). Regarding the ethereal extract, minimum values were obtained in the alpaca meat (2.707%), indicating lean meat. The humidity was variable depending on the conditions of the conservation, and the organic matter present in the meat defined the ash content, which was not higher than 5%. In terms of the microbiological analyses, the value of viable aereobic mesophiles in llama meat was 1330 cfu/g, and in alpaca meat it was 1490 cfu/g; and the values for E. coli were 0.500 cfu/g and 1,250 cfu/g, respectively.

Prediction equations of skinfold in children of primary school
El objetivo de este trabajo es crear ecuaciones que estimen las medidas de los pliegues cutáneos para escolares de 6 a 13 años de edad. Como resultado se obtuvieron catorce ecuaciones que estiman algunos pliegues cutáneos. Las ecuaciones se validaron con muestras aleatorias de 479 niñas y 541 niños del estado de Puebla y otras 2 muestras aleatorias del estado de Veracruz con 155 niñas y 146 niños respectivamente; las mediciones directas se realizaron con la metodología y unidades ISAK (International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry)The aim of this paper is to create equations that predict the skinfold measures for school children 6 to 13 years old.

Thermoelectric power of bulk black-phosphorus
The potential of bulk black-phosphorus for thermoelectric applications has
been experimentally studied. The Seebeck Coefficient (S) has been measured in
the temperature range from 300 K to 385 K, finding a value of S = +335 +- 10
uV/K at room temperature (indicating a naturally occurring p-type
conductivity). S increases with temperature, as expected for p-type
semiconductors, which can be attributed to an increase of the charge carrier
density. The electrical resistance drops up to a 40 % while heating in the
studied temperature range. As a consequence, the power factor at 385 K is 2.7
times higher than that at room temperature. This work demonstrates the
feasibility of black-phosphorus in thermoelectric applications, such as thermal
energy scavenging, which typically require devices with high performance at
temperatures above room temperature.Comment: 3 figure
Gauge invariance and radiative corrections in an extra dimensional theory
The gauge structure of the four dimensional effective theory originated in a
pure five dimensional Yang-Mills theory compactified on the orbifold ,
is discussed on the basis of the BRST symmetry. If gauge parameters propagate
in the bulk, the excited Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes are gauge fields and the four
dimensional theory is gauge invariant only if the compactification is carried
out by using curvatures as fundamental objects. The four dimensional theory is
governed by two types of gauge transformations, one determined by the KK zero
modes of the gauge parameters and the other by the excited ones. Within this
context, a gauge-fixing procedure to quantize the KK modes that is covariant
under the first type of gauge transformations is shown and the ghost sector
induced by the gauge-fixing functions is presented. If the gauge parameters are
confined to the usual four dimensional space-time, the known result in the
literature is reproduced with some minor variants, although it is emphasized
that the excited KK modes are not gauge fields, but matter fields transforming
under the adjoint representation of . A calculation of the one-loop
contributions of the excited KK modes of the electroweak gauge group on the
off-shell WWV, with V a photon or a Z boson, is exhibited. Such contributions
are free of ultraviolet divergences and well-behaved at high energies.Comment: 7 pages, conference proceedings, a new reference was added, the title

Delocalization of states in two component superlattices with correlated disorder
Electron and phonon states in two different models of intentionally
disordered superlattices are studied analytically as well as numerically. The
localization length is calculated exactly and we found that it diverges for
particular energies or frequencies, suggesting the existence of delocalized
states for both electrons and phonons. Numerical calculations for the
transmission coefficient support the existence of these delocalized states.Comment: RevTeX, 12 pages, 2 PS figures adde
Comparative Field Trial Effect of <em>Brucella</em> spp. Vaccines on Seroconversion in Goats and Their Possible Implications to Control Programs
The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of Brucella spp. in a goat flock and the seroconversion of three groups of animals vaccinated with Rev-1 (Brucella melitensis), RB51, and RB51-SOD (Brucella abortus) to estimate the level of protection conferred on susceptible females. Seventy-two animals were used by group. Goats were older than 3 months, seronegative to brucellosis, not vaccinated previously, and kept within positive flocks. Vaccinated animals received 2 mL of product subcutaneously in the neck region. The first block was injected with Rev-1; the second received RB51, and the third group was injected with RB51-SOD. Follow-up sampling was performed at 30, 60, 90, and 365 days postvaccination. The general prevalence of brucellosis for the three groups was 1.2% (95%CI:0.5–2.7). The seroconversion rate by day 30 after vaccination was 77.7% (95%CI:61.9–88.2) for goats vaccinated with Rev-1. At 365 days post vaccination, the percentage of seropositive goats declined to 13.8% (95%CI:6.0–28.6). At day 365 after vaccination, 2.7% (95%CI:0.4–14.1) and 5.5% (95%CI:1.5–18.1) of animals vaccinated with RB51 and RB51-SOD, respectively, became positive. Results show that the seroconversion induced by Brucella abortus RB51 and RB51-SOD vaccines is lower than that by Brucella melitensis Rev-1
