Top quark FCNC couplings at future circular hadron electron colliders

A study of single top quark production via flavor changing neutral current interactions at $tq\gamma$ vertices is performed at future circular hadron electron collider. The signal cross sections for the processes $e^{-}p\to e^{-}W^{\pm}q+X$ and $e^{-}p\to e^{-}W^{\pm}bq+X$ in the collision of electron beam with energy $E_e=$ 60 GeV and proton beam with energy $E_p=$ 50 TeV are calculated. In the analysis, the invariant mass distributions of three jets reconstructing top quark mass, requiring one b-tagged jet and other two jets reconstructing the $W$ mass are used to count signal and background events after all selection cuts. The upper limits on the anomalous flavor changing neutral current $tq\gamma$ couplings are found to be $\lambda_q <$ 0.01 at future circular hadron electron collider for $L_{int}=100$ fb$^{-1}$ with the fast simulation of detector effects. Signal significance depending on the couplings $\lambda_q$ is analyzed and an enhanced sensitivity is found to the branching ratio BR($t\to q\gamma$) at the future circular hadron electron collider when compared to the current experimental results.Comment: 11 pages, 4 Figures, 4 Tables, to appear in Phys.

Thermodynamic Assessment of the La-Fe-O System

The La-Fe and the La-Fe-O systems are assessed using the Calphad approach, and the Gibbs energy functions of ternary oxides are presented. Oxygen and mutual La and Fe solubilities in body-centered cubic (bcc) and face-centered cubic (fcc) structured metallic phases are considered in the modeling. Oxygen nonstoichiometry of perovskite-structured La1±x Fe1±y O3−δ is modeled using the compound energy formalism (CEF), and the model is submitted to a defect chemistry analysis. The contribution to the Gibbs energy of LaFeO3 due to a magnetic order-disorder transition is included in the model description. Lanthanum-doped hexaferrite, LaFe12O19, is modeled as a stoichiometric phase. Δf,elements°H 298K (LaFe12O19)=−5745kJ/mol, °S 298K (LaFe12O19)=683J/mol·K, and Δf,oxides°G (LaFe12O19)=4634−37.071T (J/mol) from 1073 to 1723K are calculated. The liquid phase is modeled using the two-sublattice model for ionic liquids. The calculated La-Fe phase diagram, LaO1.5-FeO x phase diagrams at different oxygen partial pressures, and phase equilibria of the La-Fe-O system at 873, 1073, and 1273K as a function of oxygen partial pressures are presente

Neighbor Discovery Using Galois Fields and Its Hardware Implementation

Neighbor discovery is essential in all channel ac- cess protocols based on transmission scheduling, whether such protocols are topology-dependent or topology-independent. We propose a novel approach to neighbor discovery based on relative GPS coordinates (RGPS), extending the work by Chlamtac and Farago on topology-transparent transmission scheduling. The proposed approach attains neighbor discovery with timing guarantees, which yields greater scalability and requires smaller transmission compared to neighbor discovery mechanisms based on probabilistic methods. We further present the design and implementation of a hardware accelerator for evaluating the Galois field polynomials used in the proposed neighbor-discovery scheme

A new approach to switch fabrics based on mini-router grids and output queueing

A number of switch fabric architectures based on mini-router grids (MRG) have been proposed as a replacement of buses for system-on-chip communication, as well as a replacement of crossbars for network routers. The rationale for using MRGs in switch fabrics is that they provide high delivery ratios, low latencies, high degree of parallelism and pipelining, load balancing properties, and sub-quadratic cost growth for their implementation. The traditional approaches to switch fabrics are based on input queuing (IQ) or virtual output queueing (VOQ), because output queuing (OQ) solutions to date are unscalable and expensive due to the speedup problem. However, we show that the speedup problem introduced by OQ can be bounded by 3 by using MRGs.We present the design of a switch fabric based on OQ MRGs that offers high delivery ratios, smaller queue sizes, and QoS guarantees. Queueing and scheduling are distributed over the MRs, where each MR is a pipestage, thus allowing MRGs to provide high throughput by nature. We present the first in-depth analytical model of switch fabric architectures based on OQ MRG, and support our model with register-transfer level (RTL) simulations in SystemC. The analytical and simulation results are shown to have close correlation over a range of design parameters and evaluation metrics

New tetracyclic heteroaromatic compounds based on dehydroamino acids : photophysical and electrochemical studies of interaction with DNA

A benzothienoindole (BTIN) and a benzofuroindole (BFIN) were synthesized in high yields, as potential new target DNA compounds, using a metal-assisted intramolecular C-N cyclization, developed by us, of the methyl esters of N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-b,b-bis(dibenzothien-4-yl or dibenzofuro-4-yl)dehydroalanines. The latter were obtained by a bis-Suzuki coupling of a b,b-dibromodehydroalanine with the corresponding heteroarylboronic acids. The absorption and fluorescence properties of the novel tetracyclic heteroaromatic compounds were studied in different solvents and in the presence of natural double-stranded (ds) salmon sperm DNA. The results in several solvents show that either BTIN or BFIN can be used as fluorescence solvent sensitive probes. Spectroscopic studies of the interaction of both compounds with dsDNA allowed to determine binding constant (Ki) values and binding site sizes (n). Fluorescence quenching experiments using iodide ion allowed the determination of the accessibilities to the quencher, showing that intercalation is the preferred mode of binding of these molecules to DNA. From the results obtained BTIN is the more intercalative compound and has a higher affinity to DNA. The interaction of this more promising compound with DNA was also studied electrochemically, by using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in connection with disposable pencil graphite electrode (PGE). These studies are based on the differences in the BTIN and adenine oxidation signals. After the interaction of BTIN with DNA, the oxidation signals of BTIN and adenine strongly decreased. The latter was attributed to the binding of the BTIN to DNA and the former points to a possible damage of the oxidizable groups of the compound after intercalation into DNA. Several concentrations of BTIN were tested and 50 μg/mL was found to be the optimum concentration in order to detect its interaction with DNA. In addition, the detection limit and the reproducibility were determined by using a disposable electrochemical transducer. The results of spectroscopic and electrochemical detection of BTIN interaction with DNA are in good agreement.Academy of Pharmacists and Turkish Pharmacists Association (TEB)Turkish Academy of Sciences - Young Scientist Award Program (KAE/TUBA-GEBIP/2001-2-8)FEDERFundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) - Projecto POCI/QUI/59407/2004.

New educative methods in the usage of audiovisual content in mobiles

[EN] The paper proposes new paradigms in education regarding usage of audiovisual contents adapted to mobile devices, under the perspective of changes in the conventional learning process through the web from student side. The knowledge of the educational design processes by professors, a concept known as m-learning, will allow to demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages under the student¿s perspective. These constraints are focused, firstly on adapting contents and, more specifically, on the real technical implementation of audiovisual contents and the mechanism and interaction processes. On the other hand, it is important to emphasize advances in new digital formats relating to the new generation mobile phones, which allow to integrate contents in the learning process, ubiquitous learning. Finally, considerations and conclusions addressed to the educators who would like to adapt traditional contents to the new tools and formats will be established.Magal Royo, T.; Tortajada Montañana, I.; Giménez López, JL.; Giménez Alcalde, F.

Effect of thermal treatment and storage on bioactive compounds, organic acids and antioxidant activity of baobab fruit (Adansonia digitata) pulp from Malawi

Bioactive compounds of baobab (Adansonia digitata) pulp from Malawi were investigated. The effect of thermal treatment and storage on selected quality attributes of the juice was also evaluated. Organic compounds were analysed by HPLC; total phenol content (TPC) and total antioxidant activity (FRAP, ABTS and DPPH) were measured by spectrophotometry. Malawi baobab pulp contains high levels of procyanidin B2 (533 ± 22.6 mg/100 g FW), vitamin C (AA + DHA) (466 ± 2.5 mg/100 g FW), gallic acid (68.5 ± 12.4 mg/100 g FW) and (−)-epicatechin (43.0 ± 3.0 mg/100 g FW) and showed a maximum TPC of 1.89 × 103 ± 1.61 mg GAE/100 g FW. The maximum antioxidant activity was 2.81 × 103 ± 92.8 mg TEAC/100 g FW for FRAP, 1.52 × 103 ± 17.1 mg TEAC/100 g FW for ABTS and 50.9 ± 0.43% DPPH for DPPH. Thermal pasteurisation (72 °C, 15 s) retained vitamin C which further showed extended half-life under refrigeration temperature (6 °C). Procyanidin B2, (−)-epicatechin, TPC and antioxidant activity fluctuated during storage. Antioxidant activity was significantly correlated (p ≤ 0.05) with bioactive compounds and TPC
