Measurements of Charged Current Reactions of νe\nu_e on 12C^{12}C

Charged Current reactions of $\nu_e$ on $^{12}C$ have been studied using a $\mu^+$ decay-at-rest $\nu_e$ beam at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The cross section for the exclusive reaction $^{12}C(\nu_e,e^-)^{12}N_{g.s.}$ was measured to be $(8.9\pm0.3\pm0.9)\times10^{-42}$ cm$^2$. The observed energy dependence of the cross section and angular distribution of the outgoing electron agree well with theoretical expectations. Measurements are also presented for inclusive transitions to $^{12}N$ excited states, $^{12}C(\nu_e,e^-)^{12}N^*$ and compared with theoretical expectations. The measured cross section, $(4.3\pm0.4\pm0.6)\times10^{-42}$ cm$^2$, is somewhat lower than previous measurements and than a continuum random phase approximation calculation. It is in better agreement with a recent shell model calculation.Comment: 34 pages, 18 figures, accepted to PRC, replaced with the accepted on

Combined effects of lipoprotein lipase and apolipoprotein E polymorphisms on serum lipid levels in Serbian population

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene mutations might be one of genetic factors for the development of hyperlipoproteinemia in apoE2/2 homozygotes and E2 heterozygotes. Fasting serum lipids and analyses of the LPL gene Asn291Ser polymorphism and apolipoprotein (apo) E common polymorphism were performed in 201 healthy subjects. An interaction between the LPL/apoE DNA polymorphisms on serum total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) variation was found. Individuals carrying the E2+/Ser291 allele had significantly higher mean TC (P LT 0.01) and TG (P LT 0.05) and lower high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) (P LT 0.05) compared with E2+/ Asn291. The results of this study demonstrate relationship between LPL and apoE DNA polymorphism. and serum lipid levels.EUROMEDLAB 2003: 15th IFCC/FESCC European Congress of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, Proceedings, Jun 01-05, 2003, Barcelona, Spai
