The decays h+- -> W-+ h0(a0) within an extension of the MSSM with one complex Higgs triplet

The vertex H+-W-+h0, involving the gauge bosons W-+, the charged (H+-) and the lightest neutral (h0) Higgs bosons, arises within the context of many extensions of the SM, and it can be used to probe the Higgs sector of such extensions via the decay H+- -> W+- h0. We discuss the strength of this vertex for an extension of the MSSM with an additional complex Higgs triplet. By using this model, we find regions of the parameter space where the decay H+- -> W+- h0 is not only kinematically allowed, but it also becomes an important decay mode and in some cases the dominant one.Comment: 10 figure

The 2010 EU Survey on R&D Investment Business Trends

This report presents the findings of the sixth survey on trends in business R&D investment. These are based on 205 responses of mainly larger companies from the 1000 EU-based companies in the 2010 EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard. These 205 companies are responsible for R&D investment worth almost €40 billion, constituting around 30% of the total R&D investment by the 1000 EU Scoreboard companies. The main result is that top R&D investing companies in the EU expect their global R&D investments to grow by 5 % annually from 2011 to 2013. This is more than double the rate of last year's expectations, and represents a significant upturn from the 2.6 % R&D investment cuts observed for these companies in 2009. Companies surveyed expect their R&D investment inside the EU to grow 3 % a year over the next three years, although this remains the lowest rate compared to what they expect to invest in R&D in other world regions, especially in Asian countries like China (25%) or India (8%), but also in the US and Canada (5%).JRC.J.3-Knowledge for Growt

Participación

La participación es un proceso inducido por experiencias que enlazan a la humanidad con la experiencia (Stern, Powell & Ardoin, 2008), tales experiencias, están determinadas por procesos de control, competencia e influencia (Rollero, Tartaglia, Piccolli & Ceccarini, 2009). De este modo, la percepción de la calidad de vida influye sobre la participación (Hernández y Reimel, 2004).Los estudios de la participación sustentable han demostrado diferencias significativas entre la inacción personal, desfavorable al entorno y la corresponsabilidad entre las comunidades y sus gobiernos, favorables al medio ambiente. En este sentido, la participación es un proceso inducido por experiencias que enlazan a la humanidad con la naturaleza (Stern, Powell & Ardoin, 2008).Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, Unidad académica Profesional Chimalhuacán

Identification of Receptor Ligands in Apo B100 Reveals Potential Functional Domains

LDL, VLDL and other members of the low-density lipoparticles (LLPs) enter cells through a large family of receptors. The actual receptor ligand(s) in apolipoprotein B100, one of the main proteins of LLP, remain(s) unknown. The objective of this study was to identify true receptor ligand(s) in apo B100, a molecule of 4,563 residues. Apo B100 contains 33 analogues of Cardin-Weintraub Arginine/Lysine-based receptor ligand motifs and shares key Lysine motifs and sequence similarity with the LDL receptor-associated protein, RAP, MESD, and heat shock proteins. Eleven FITC-labeled synthetic peptides of 21 – 42 residues, with at least one ligand, were tested for binding and internalization using HeLa cells. All peptides bind but display different binding capacities and patterns. Peptides B0013, B0582, B2366, and B2932 mediate endocytosis and appear in distinct sites in the cytoplasm. B0708 and B3181 bind and remain on the cell surface as aggregates/clusters. Peptides B3119 (Site A) and B3347 (Site B), the putative ligands showed low binding and no cell entry capacity. Apo B100 regions in this study share similarities with related proteins of known function including chaperone proteins and Apo BEC Stimulating Protein, and not directly related proteins, e.g., the DNA-binding domain of Interferon Regulatory Factors, MSX2-Interacting Protein, and snake venom Zinc metalloproteinase-disintegrin-like proteins

Fugas

Por razones prácticamente obvias, únicamente se analizan las fugas de agua relativas a la Ciudad de México, las cuales oscilan entre 40% y 60% de la red de suministro público. A medida que los avances tecnológicos permiten la detección de fugas no visibles se ha estimado un gran impacto en el sistema de abastecimiento público (CONAGUA, 2010). En el caso de las fugas perceptibles, los usuarios, las autoridades y medios de comunicación han planificado la problemática hasta un punto tal que podrían incidir en las políticas públicas de inversión y abastecimiento, así como los conflictos entre usuarios y autoridades por la regularización del servicio público de abastecimiento.Por razones prácticamente obvias, únicamente se analizan las fugas de agua relativas a la Ciudad de México, las cuales oscilan entre 40% y 60% de la red de suministro público.

The 2009 EU Survey on R&D Investment Business Trends

This report presents the findings of the fifth survey on trends in business R&D investment. These are based on 185 responses of mainly larger companies from the 1000 EU-based companies in the 2008 EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard. These 185 companies are responsible for R&D investment worth almost ¿48 billion, constituting over a third of the total R&D investment by the 1000 EU Scoreboard companies in 2008. The main findings of the survey are as follows: The companies¿ R&D investment is expected to grow by 2% annually over 2010-12, half the amount expected according to last year¿s survey, reflecting the ongoing effects of the economic crisis. More than half of the respondents made changes to the management of their R&D investments as a result of the economic crisis. Around 40% of the respondents said there was no change. The companies, all EU-based, expect strong R&D investment increases outside the EU, especially in China and India. The resulting R&D investment outflow implies sustained but smooth changes in R&D investment shares in world regions. Tax incentives appear to be particularly important for high R&D intensive companies. With respect to last year's survey, these companies also attach a great deal of importance to regulatory intervention to improve product markets and framework conditions, aligning their views with the rest of the sectors. European Technology Platforms appear to be more relevant to low R&D intensity sectors. R&D is the most important component of innovation for the companies which invest most in R&D. In low R&D intensity sectors, greater increases in innovation investments are expected.JRC.DDG.J.3-Knowledge for Growt

The 2011 EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard

The 2011 "EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard" (the Scoreboard) collects information on the top 1000 EU companies and 1000 non-EU companies investing the largest sums in R&D in the last reporting year. The Scoreboard includes data on R&D investment along with other economic and financial data from the last four financial years. The data for the Scoreboard are taken from the companies’ latest published accounts, intented to be their fiscal year 2010 accounts (although due to different accounting practices, it includes accounts ending on a range of dates, from late 2009 to early 2011). In the last year's Scoreboard, companies' results showed the big effect of the great recession/financial crisis that started in 2008. In this Scoreboard edition, companies show considerable signs of recovery, e.g. with a significant increase in R&D investment and double-digit increases in sales, operating profits, and market valuation of companies. However, companies have still to deal with a complex economic environment. In particular, two big economic issues create pressure for companies: national debt levels (which feed back into the banks and limit their lending to companies and hence affect company expansion plans) and the low growth rates being seen in developed economies which can limit the sales growth of many companies, particularly those selling more standard products. In this context, the efforts made by many Scoreboard companies to increase R&D investment appear especially remarkable and emphasise the role R&D plays for companies to enhance their product ranges and hence create and sustain competitive advantages. R&D-based competitive advantage can yield higher value added and higher growth rates. The analysis in this report concentrates on the main trends of companies' R&D activities and results. The focus is on the evolution of R&D investments across regions and industries and its comparison with companies' parameters such as net sales, profits, market capitalisation and capital expenditures.JRC.J.2-Knowledge for Growt

El divorcio sanción en el Perú y España en el marco de la protección del derecho al libre desarrollo de la personalidad

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo determinar el sustento jurídico, social e ideológico del divorcio sanción en el Perú y España desde el marco de la protección del derecho al libre desarrollo de la personalidad, cuyo estudio fue realizado a través de las fuentes documentales haciendo uso del método historiográfico, además de realizar la técnica de análisis documental o bibliográfico como la entrevista a profundidad y las anotaciones de nota o de campo a los especialistas en materia de familia y teología, cuyos resultados han determinado que en el Perú el sustento jurídico del divorcio sanción es la estabilidad de la familia matrimonial, entre tanto el sustento social e ideológico, alude a las ideas del matrimonio civil como indisoluble, ya que ven en matrimonio un espacio de desarrollo para sus miembros. Caso contario a la legislación española donde el sustento jurídico, social e ideológico del divorcio sanción ha sido la flexibilización de esta figura al regular el divorcio incausado, afín de garantizar el ejercicio del derecho al libre desarrollo de la personalidad de los cónyuges al momento de formalizar el rompimiento del vínculo conyugal
