    The objective of the present study was to evaluate the nutrient composition of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MLM) from different location in East Nusa Tenggara Province (ENT). A total of 27 samples of MLM were obtained from Sikka, Timor Tengah Utara and Kupang Regency. The experiment was designed using a block randomized design with three treatments and three replications (three samples per replication). The results showed that location significantly (P0.05) the crude protein, gross energy, calcium and some amino acid contents of MLM.  The NDF of MLM from Sikka was lower (P<0.05) than those from Kupang and TTU. The concentration of P of MLM from Kupang and Sikka was higher (P<0.05) than that of TTU. In conclusion, the nutrients compositions of MLM were different according to the location where the plant grows. The MLM is rich in protein, Ca, good in amino acid profile and low in fiber content. Thus, the MLM is potential to be used as alternative protein source for poultry

    Constraints on the χ_(c1) versus χ_(c2) polarizations in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV

    The polarizations of promptly produced χ_(c1) and χ_(c2) mesons are studied using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, in proton-proton collisions at √s=8  TeV. The χ_c states are reconstructed via their radiative decays χ_c → J/ψγ, with the photons being measured through conversions to e⁺e⁻, which allows the two states to be well resolved. The polarizations are measured in the helicity frame, through the analysis of the χ_(c2) to χ_(c1) yield ratio as a function of the polar or azimuthal angle of the positive muon emitted in the J/ψ → μ⁺μ⁻ decay, in three bins of J/ψ transverse momentum. While no differences are seen between the two states in terms of azimuthal decay angle distributions, they are observed to have significantly different polar anisotropies. The measurement favors a scenario where at least one of the two states is strongly polarized along the helicity quantization axis, in agreement with nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics predictions. This is the first measurement of significantly polarized quarkonia produced at high transverse momentum
