Searching for squeezed particle-antiparticle correlations in high energy heavy ion collisions

Squeezed correlations of particle-antiparticle pairs were predicted to exist if the hadron masses were modified in the hot and dense medium formed in high energy heavy ion collisions. Although well-established theoretically, they have not yet been observed experimentally. We suggest here a clear method to search for such signal, by analyzing the squeezed correlation functions in terms of measurable quantities. We illustrate this suggestion for simulated phi-phi pairs at RHIC energies.Comment: Revised extended text, one plot added, one figure was moved to another page in the paper (total of 3 figures, Fig. (2) having parts a, b and c); added acknowledgmen

Ranking the Risks: The 10 Pathogen-Food Combinations With the Greatest Burden on Public Health

Examines food-borne pathogens with the highest disease burdens and the top ten foods most commonly contaminated by them, such as salmonella in poultry, toxoplasma in pork, and listeria in deli meats. Makes policy recommendations for improving prevention

The Economic Potential of Composting Breeder and Pullet Litter with Eggshell Waste

Expansion of the wastes coordinated by the Ozark Poultry Litter Bank is needed. This study examined a method of combining low value poultry wastes to produce compost. Analyses of four compost blends and two hypothetical production systems provide entrepreneurs with the production and financial information to make informed decisions.composting, poultry industry, waste management, product development, Environmental Economics and Policy, Livestock Production/Industries, Q53, Q13, Q16,

The Broiler-Corn Ratio: Is it an Indicator of Fattened Broiler Profits?

As consumers eat healthier and obesity concerns increase, the poultry industry continues growth in sales and revenues. Data reflect ten years of broiler prices, exports, egg and chick production, cold storage stocks, company earnings and stock price. Expected results suggest a broiler-corn ratio is an indicator of company profits.Livestock Production/Industries,

A Comparative Assessment of the Broiler:Corn Ratio and Its Impact on Broiler Processors' Profitability

Input prices for broiler production, particularly corn, are becoming increasingly volatile due to increasing competition for corn from ethanol and biofuels production suggesting volatility in poultry profits will follow indicator of profits relating feed input prices and broiler meat output prices, such as a Broiler:corn ratios. Total chicken exports, total chicken ready-to-cook production, number of eggs set, number of chicks placed, and cold storage chicken inventory are used to estimate. Utilizing a distributed lag model, seventeen years of data for three Broiler:corn ratios, broiler exports, egg set, chick placements, cold storage stocks, and ready-to-cook broiler production were utilized to estimate stock share price for four major broiler producers.Demand and Price Analysis, Livestock Production/Industries,
