Combined Description of Scattering and Annihilation With A Hadronic Model
A model for the nucleon-antinucleon interaction is presented which is based
on meson-baryon dynamics. The elastic part is the -parity transform of the
Bonn potential. Annihilation into two mesons is described in terms of
microscopic baryon-exchange processes including all possible combinations of
. The remaining
annihilation part is taken into account by a phenomenological energy- and state
independent optical potential of Gaussian form. The model enables a
simultaneous description of nucleon-antinucleon scattering and annihilation
phenomena with fair quality.Comment: revised version, REVTEX, 9 pages, 10 figures available from this URL

Measurement of the Omega_c Lifetime
We present the measurement of the lifetime of the Omega_c we have performed
using three independent data samples from two different decay modes. Using a
Sigma- beam of 340 GeV/c we have obtained clean signals for the Omega_c
decaying into Xi- K- pi+ pi+ and Omega- pi+ pi- pi+, avoiding topological cuts
normally used in charm analysis. The short but measurable lifetime of the
Omega_c is demonstrated by a clear enhancement of the signals at short but
finite decay lengths. Using a continuous maximum likelihood method we
determined the lifetime to be tau(Omega_c) = 55 +13-11(stat) +18-23(syst) fs.
This makes the Omega_c the shortest living weakly decaying particle observed so
far. The short value of the lifetime confirms the predicted pattern of the
charmed baryon lifetimes and demonstrates that the strong interaction plays a
vital role in the lifetimes of charmed hadrons.Comment: 15 pages, including 7 figures; gzipped, uuencoded postscrip
Opposite tendency between yield and taste of organic tomato by increasing biochar doses in a slightly humous arenosol
Received: February 4th, 2022 ; Accepted: April 6th, 2022 ; Published: April 28th, 2022 ; Correspondence: [email protected] tomato is the edible berry of the plant Solanum lycopersicum. Tomato plants are
widely grown in temperate climates worldwide and are mostly cultivated as annuals. The
objective of this study was to understand the interrelation between fruit quality of tomato, some
soil biological parameters, and the addition of increasing biochar (BC) soil amendment doses.
BC is an industrial product, made from organic waste by pyrolysis. Its use in the soil is known to
improve fertility and several soil functions. Among organic, ecological conditions, a field
experiment was performed in a type of slightly humous arenosol soil. Effect of increasing doses
of biochar (BC) (0.5-, 1.0-, 2.5-, 5.0, 10 m/m% and control) was studied. Nutrient content and
Total Soluble Solid (TSS) of the fruits, the ripeness, and the marketable/non-marketable ratio of
yield were assessed. The presence of some cultivable microbial physiological groups (fungi,
bacteria) and the soil-dehydrogenase activity (DHA) was estimated. Results represented that the
changes of fruit TSS content was not linear with the increasing doses of BC. The increased yield
(+53%) had an inverse correlation with the TSS content of the berry's pulps, and the content was
lowest at the highest BC dose. Optimum doses of BC were considered, like 1–2.5 m/m%,
supported by the nutritive element content (+55% N, +76% P, +83% K) and enhanced microbial
activities (+45% DHA). Grouping the parameters by Pearson Correlation Coefficient, the biochar
amendment was a driving factor for tomato growth, with certain dose limits in the studied organic
agricultural practice
Elaia, Pergamon's maritime satellite:The rise and fall of an ancient harbour city shaped by shoreline migration
Throughout human history, communication and trade have been key to society. Because maritime trade facilitated the rapid transportation of passengers and freight at relatively low cost, harbours became hubs for traffic, trade and exchange. This general statement holds true for the Pergamenian kingdom, which ruled wide parts of today's western Turkey during Hellenistic times. Its harbour, located at the city of Elaia on the eastern Aegean shore, was used extensively for commercial and military purposes. This study reconstructs the coastal evolution in and around the ancient harbour of Elaia and compares the observed environmental modifications with archaeological and historical findings. We use micropalaeontological, sedimentological and geochemical proxies to reconstruct the palaeoenvironmental dynamics and evolution of the ancient harbour. The geoarchaeological results confirm the archaeological and historical evidence for Elaia's primacy during Hellenistic and early Roman times, and the city's gradual decline during the late Roman period. Furthermore, our study demonstrates that Elaia holds a unique position as a harbour city during ancient times in the eastern Aegean region, because it was not greatly influenced by the high sediment supply associated with river deltas. Consequently, no dredging of the harbour basins is documented, creating exceptional geo-bioarchives for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions
