The extinction model studied in this analysis is motivated by the search for signatures of strong gravity at the TeV scale (terascale gravity) and assumes the existence of string couplings in the strong-coupling limit. In this limit, the string model predicts the suppression of all high-transverse-momentum standard model processes, including jet production, beyond a certain energy scale. To test this prediction, the measured transverse-momentum spectrum is compared to the theoretical prediction of the standard model. No significant deficit of events is found at high transverse momentum. A 95% confidence level lower limit of 3.3 TeV is set on the extinction mass scale

Searches for electroweak neutralino and chargino production in channels with Higgs, Z, and W bosons in pp collisions at 8 TeV

Searches for supersymmetry (SUSY) are presented based on the electroweak pair production of neutralinos and charginos, leading to decay channels with Higgs, Z, and W bosons and undetected lightest SUSY particles (LSPs). The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of about 19.5 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV collected in 2012 with the CMS detector at the LHC. The main emphasis is neutralino pair production in which each neutralino decays either to a Higgs boson (h) and an LSP or to a Z boson and an LSP, leading to hh, hZ, and ZZ states with missing transverse energy (E-T(miss)). A second aspect is chargino-neutralino pair production, leading to hW states with E-T(miss). The decays of a Higgs boson to a bottom-quark pair, to a photon pair, and to final states with leptons are considered in conjunction with hadronic and leptonic decay modes of the Z and W bosons. No evidence is found for supersymmetric particles, and 95% confidence level upper limits are evaluated for the respective pair production cross sections and for neutralino and chargino mass values

PENGARUH POSTER EDUKASI TERHADAP DUKUNGAN KELUARGA DAN PERILAKU MANAJEMEN DIRI PASIEN DIABETES MELLITUS TIPE 2 ANGGOTA PERSATUAN DIABETES INDONESIA (PERSADIA) RUMAH SAKIT JOGJA

BACKGROUND: Every six seconds one person in the world died because of diabetes. To prevent this problem, the exact self-management behaviors of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are needed. In the application of selfmanagement behaviors, there are a direct effect of family support and education. However, the level of family support and self-management behavior in Persadia RS Jogja still low. Then the education process is required, one of which is the educational poster. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the effect of educational poster to family support and self-management behavior of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus member of Persadia RS Jogja. METHOD: The study was a pre-experimental one group pretest and posttest design with no control. Subjects were patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus member of Persadia RS Jogja the number of research subjects is 34 people who received treatment in the form of educational poster one time at the beginning of the study and a brief educational messages once every three days. Assessments of family support and self-management behavior performed at the beginning and the end of the study with a span of three weeks. RESULT: Based on t-test there are significant educational posters to the family support (� t � = 2.79) and self-management behavior (� t � = 2.09). The relationship between family support and self-management behavior increased after the educational posters were given (r = 0.814). CONCLUSION: There is an educational poster effect to the increase of family support and self-management behavior of patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 member of Persadia RS Jogja. Educational poster also reinforces the relationship between family support and self-management behaviors

CMS Physics Technical Design Report: Addendum on High Density QCD with Heavy Ions

This report presents the capabilities of the CMS experiment to explore the rich heavy-ion physics programme offered by the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The collisions of lead nuclei at energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 5.5\,{\rm TeV}$ , will probe quark and gluon matter at unprecedented values of energy density. The prime goal of this research is to study the fundamental theory of the strong interaction \u2014 Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) \u2014 in extreme conditions of temperature, density and parton momentum fraction (low- x ). This report covers in detail the potential of CMS to carry out a series of representative Pb-Pb measurements. These include "bulk" observables, (charged hadron multiplicity, low p T inclusive hadron identified spectra and elliptic flow) which provide information on the collective properties of the system, as well as perturbative probes such as quarkonia, heavy-quarks, jets and high p T hadrons which yield "tomographic" information of the hottest and densest phases of the reaction
