High exercise levels are related to favorable sleep patterns and psychological functioning in adolescents: A comparison of athletes and controls

Abstract Purpose: To investigate whether chronic vigorous exercising is related to improved sleep and psychological functioning, and whether this association varies with gender. Both lay and scientific opinions hold that physical activity is an efficient remedy and preventative measure for poor sleep. However, empirical evidence on adolescents is very limited. Adolescence is characterized by important changes in sleep behavior. Even though adolescents still require 9 to 10 hours of sleep per night There is a bi-directional relationship between acute [8] and chronic To cope with poor sleep, clinical experience indicates a growing reliance on substances, either to induce sleep (alcohol, cannabis) or to reduce daytime sleepiness (caffeine)

Lambda(+)(C) production in pb-pb collisions at root S-NN=5.02 TeV

A measurement of the production of prompt +cbaryons in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC is reported. The +cand −cwere reconstructed at midrapidity (|y| <0.5) via the hadronic decay channel +c→pK0S(and charge conjugate) in the transverse momentum and centrality intervals 6 <pT<12 GeV/cand 0–80%. The +c/D0ratio, which is sensitive to the charm quark hadronisation mechanisms in the medium, is measured and found to be larger than the ratio measured in minimum-bias pp collisions at √s=7TeV and in p–Pb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV. In particular, the values in p–Pb and Pb–Pb collisions differ by about two standard deviations of the combined statistical and systematic uncertainties in the common pTinterval covered by the measurements in the two collision systems. The +c/D0ratio is also compared with model calculations including different implementations of charm quark hadronisation. The measured ratio is reproduced by models implementing a pure coalescence scenario, while adding a fragmentation contribution leads to an underestimation. The +cnuclear modification factor, RAA, is also presented. The measured values of the RAAof +c, D+sand non-strange D mesons are compatible within the combined statistical and systematic uncertainties. They show, however, a hint of a hierarchy (RD0AA<RD+sAA<R +cAA), conceivable with a contribution from coalescence mechanisms to charm hadron formation in the medium

Λ c+ production in Pb–Pb collisions at s NN =5.02 TeV

AA measurement of the production of prompt Λ c + baryons in Pb–Pb collisions at s NN =5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC is reported. The Λ c + and Λ‾ c − were reconstructed at midrapidity (|y|&lt;0.5) via the hadronic decay channel Λ c + →pK S 0 (and charge conjugate) in the transverse momentum and centrality intervals

Observation of WWWWWW Production in pppp Collisions at s\sqrt s =13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector

International audienceThis Letter reports the observation of $WWW$ production and a measurement of its cross section using 139 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with two same-sign leptons (electrons or muons) and at least two jets, as well as events with three charged leptons, are selected. A multivariate technique is then used to discriminate between signal and background events. Events from $WWW$ production are observed with a significance of 8.0 standard deviations, where the expectation is 5.4 standard deviations. The inclusive $WWW$ production cross section is measured to be $820 \pm 100\,\text{(stat)} \pm 80\,\text{(syst)}$ fb, approximately 2.6 standard deviations from the predicted cross section of $511 \pm 18$ fb calculated at next-to-leading-order QCD and leading-order electroweak accuracy
