Measurements of CPT Violation at LHCb

Recent measurements of CPT violation and Lorentz symmetry breaking in $B^0-\bar{B}^0$ mixing and $B^0_s-\bar{B}^0_s$ mixing, obtained from data taken by the LHCb experiment, are highlighted. The results are expressed in terms of the Standard-Model Extension (SME) coefficients, which incorporate both CPT and Lorentz violation. Due to the large boost of the $B$ mesons at LHCb, the SME coefficients can be determined with high precision. The bounds on these coefficients are improved significantly compared to previous measurements.Comment: Presented at the Seventh Meeting on CPT and Lorentz Symmetry, Bloomington, Indiana, June 20-24, 201

Knowledge transfer and utilization in water system management: knowledge and perceptions in daily practice

The aim of this research is to explore the possibility of enlarging the accessibility, usefulness, and utilization of knowledge about the physical-water system for decision- and policymakers. By studying the use of knowledge in the decision-making and policymaking processes, an attempt will me made to identify the institutional conditions which stimulate or obstruct knowledge exchange and utilization. In this paper, the difficulties in knowledge exchange and utilization are discussed from the scientists and the practitioners’ point of view
