Beauty photoproduction measured using decays into muons in dijet events in ep collisions at s\sqrt{s}=318 GeV

The photoproduction of beauty quarks in events with two jets and a muon has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 110 pb$^{- 1}$. The fraction of jets containing b quarks was extracted from the transverse momentum distribution of the muon relative to the closest jet. Differential cross sections for beauty production as a function of the transverse momentum and pseudorapidity of the muon, of the associated jet and of $x_{\gamma}^{jets}$, the fraction of the photon's momentum participating in the hard process, are compared with MC models and QCD predictions made at next-to-leading order. The latter give a good description of the data.Comment: 32 pages, 6 tables, 7 figures Table 6 and Figure 7 revised September 200

Angular and Current-Target Correlations in Deep Inelastic Scattering at HERA

Correlations between charged particles in deep inelastic ep scattering have been studied in the Breit frame with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 6.4 pb-1. Short-range correlations are analysed in terms of the angular separation between current-region particles within a cone centred around the virtual photon axis. Long-range correlations between the current and target regions have also been measured. The data support predictions for the scaling behaviour of the angular correlations at high Q2 and for anti-correlations between the current and target regions over a large range in Q2 and in the Bjorken scaling variable x. Analytic QCD calculations and Monte Carlo models correctly describe the trends of the data at high Q2, but show quantitative discrepancies. The data show differences between the correlations in deep inelastic scattering and e+e- annihilation.Comment: 26 pages including 10 figures (submitted to Eur. J. Phys. C

Measurement of D+- and D0 production in deep inelastic scattering using a lifetime tag at HERA

The production of D-+/-- and D-0-mesons has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 133.6 pb(-1). The measurements cover the kinematic range 5 < Q(2) < 1000 GeV2, 0.02 < y < 0.7, 1.5 < p(T)(D) < 15 GeV and |eta(D)| < 1.6. Combinatorial background to the D-meson signals is reduced by using the ZEUS microvertex detector to reconstruct displaced secondary vertices. Production cross sections are compared with the predictions of next-to-leading-order QCD, which is found to describe the data well. Measurements are extrapolated to the full kinematic phase space in order to obtain the open-charm contribution, F-2(c (c) over bar), to the proton structure function, F-2

Clinical and pharmaco-economical effectiveness of hospital-replacing technologies in cardiology

The study was aimed at determining heart pathology features in young and middle-aged patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). Ln total, 88 people aged 35-55 years, with various MS components, were examined. Seventeen patients had three MS components (Group 1), 42-4 components (Group 2), and 29-5 components (Group 3). Left ventricular (LV) electrical myocardial instability and autonomous dysfunction were observed in 16 %, cardiac arrhythmias - in 28 %, and ischemia -in 22 %. Metabolic disturbance severity directly correlated with the number of MS components. LV structure changes manifested in myocardial hypertrophy and increased myocardial mass (65 %), diastolic dysfunction (45 %), and systolic dysfunction (10 %). Therefore, young and middle-aged patients with various MS components demonstrated LV electrical myocardial instability, heart rate variability disorders, ischemic, structural and functional LV myocardial disturbances. These changes were more manifested in patients with more MS components

Retrospective analysis for phase I statistical process control and process capability study using revised sample entropy

[[abstract]]This study explored a new nonparametric analytical method for identifying heterogeneous segments in time-series data for data-abundant processes. A sample entropy (SampEn) algorithm often used in signal processing and information theory can also be used in a time series or a signal stream, but the original SampEn is only capable of quantifying process variation changes. The proposed algorithm, the adjusted sample entropy (AdSEn), is capable of identifying process mean shifts, variance changes, or mixture of both. A simulation study showed that the proposed method is capable of identifying heterogeneous segments in a time series. Once segments of change points are identified, any existing change-point algorithms can be used to precisely identify exact locations of potential change points. The proposed method is especially applicable for long time series with many change points. Properties of the proposed AdSEn are provided to demonstrate the algorithm’s multi-scale capability. A table of critical values is also provided to help users accurately interpret entropy results.[[notice]]補正完
