Evidence of time-dependent CP violation in the decay B0 to D*+D*-
We report a measurement of the CP-odd fraction and the time-dependent CP
violation in B0 to D*+D*- decays, using 657.10^6 BBbar events collected at the
Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy
e+e- collider. We measure a CP-odd fraction of
Rperp=0.125+/-0.043(stat)+/-0.023(syst). From the distributions of the
proper-time intervals between a B0to D*+D*- decay and the other B meson in the
event, we obtain evidence of CP violation with measured parameters
AD*+D*-=0.15+/-0.13(stat)+/-0.04(syst) and
SD*+D*-=-0.96+/-0.25(stat)-0.16+0.13(syst).Comment: Published in PR
Sorption-Desorption Behavior of Atrazine on Soils Subjected to Different Organic Long-Term Amendments
Sorption of atrazine on soils subjected to three different organic amendments was measured using a batch equilibrium technique. A higher K(F) value (2.20 kg(-1)(mg L(-1))(-)N) was obtained for soil fertilized with compost, which had a higher organic matter (OM) content. A correlation between the K(Foc) values and the percentage of aromatic carbon in OM was observed. The highest K(Foc) value was obtained for the soil with the highest aromatic content. Higher aromatic content results in higher hydrophobicity of OM, and hydrophobic interactions play a key role in binding of atrazine, On the other hand, the soil amended with farmyard manure had a higher content of carboxylic units, which could be responsible for hydrogen bonding between atrazine and OR Dominance of hydrogen bonds compared to hydrophobic interactions can be responsible for the lower desorption capacity observed with the farmyard manure soil, The stronger hydrogen bonding can reduce the leaching of atrazine into drinking water resources and runoff to rivers and other surface waters
Observation of Two Resonant Structures in e+e- to pi+ pi- psi(2S) via Initial State Radiation at Belle
The cross section for e+e- to pi+ pi- psi(2S) between threshold and
\sqrt{s}=5.5 GeV is measured using 673 fb^{-1} of data on and off the
\Upsilon(4S) resonance collected with the Belle detector at KEKB. Two resonant
structures are observed in the pi+ pi- psi(2S) invariant mass distribution, one
at 4361\pm 9\pm 9 MeV/c2 with a width of 74\pm 15\pm 10 MeV/c2, and another at
4664\pm 11\pm 5 MeV/c2 with a width of 48\pm 15\pm 3 MeV/c2, if the mass
spectrum is parameterized with the coherent sum of two Breit-Wigner functions.
These values do not match those of any of the known charmonium states.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables, version to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
Dalitz analysis of B --> K pi psi' decays and the Z(4430)+
From a Dalitz plot analysis of B --> K pi psi' decays, we find a signal for
Z(4430)+ --> pi+ psi' with a mass M= (4443(+15-12)(+19-13))MeV/c^2, width
Gamma= (107(+86-43)(+74-56))MeV, product branching fraction BR(B0 --> K-
Z(4430)+) x BR(Z(4430)+ --> pi+ psi')= (3.2(+1.8-0.9)(+5.3-1.6)) x 10^{-5}, and
significance of 6.4sigma that agrees with previous Belle measurements based on
the same data sample. In addition, we determine the branching fraction BR(B^0
--> K*(892)^0 psi')= (5.52(+0.35-0.32)(+0.53-0.58)) x 10^{-4} and the fraction
of K*(892)^0 mesons that are longitudinally polarized f_L=
44.8(+4.0-2.7)(+4.0-5.3)%. These results are obtained from a 605fb^{-1} data
sample that contains 657 million B-anti-B pairs collected near the Upsilon(4S)
resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e- collider.Comment: Final version published in PRD(RC
Study of B -> D** l nu with full reconstruction tagging
We report a study of semileptonic B decays to P-wave D** mesons. Semileptonic
decay to D*_2 meson is observed for the first time and its product branching
ratio is measured to be
Br(B+ -> anti-D*0_2 l+nu) x Br(anti-D*0_2 -> D- pi+) = 0.22 +- 0.03(stat.) +-
0.04(syst.)%. The result is obtained using the fully reconstructed B tags from
a data sample that contains 657 millions BB-bar pairs collected at the
Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+
e- collider.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures, submitted to PRD(RC
Time-dependent CP Asymmetries in Decays
We report the first measurement of CP-violation parameters in B^0 ->
K_S^0\rho^0\gamma decays based on 657 million B\bar B pairs collected with the
Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy collider. We measure the
time-dependent CP violating parameter S_{K_S^0\rho^0\gamma}= 0.11 +/-
0.33(stat.)^{+0.05}_{-0.09}(syst.). We also obtain the effective direct CP
violating parameter A_eff=0.05 +/- 0.18(stat.) +/- 0.06(syst.) for
m_{K_S\pi^+\pi^-}<1.8 GeV/c^2 and 0.6 GeV/c^2<m_{\pi^+\pi^-}<0.9 GeV/c^2.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, to be submitted to PR
Artificial Intelligence in Supply Chain Operations Planning: Collaboration and Digital Perspectives
[EN] Digital transformation provide supply chains (SCs) with extensive accurate data that should be combined with analytical techniques to improve their management. Among these techniques Artificial Intelligence (AI) has proved their suitability, memory and ability to manage uncertain and constantly changing information. Despite the fact that a number of AI literature reviews exist, no comprehensive review of reviews for the SC operations planning has yet been conducted. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of AI literature reviews in a structured manner to gain insights into their evolution in incorporating new ICTs and collaboration. Results show that hybrization man-machine and collaboration and ethical aspects are understudied.This research has been funded by the project entitled NIOTOME (Ref. RTI2018-102020-B-I00) (MCI/AEI/FEDER, UE).

Search for Decays at Belle
We present a search for the B-> pi e^+ e^- and B-> pi \mu^+ \mu^- decays,
with a data sample of 657 million BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector
at the KEKB collider. Signal events are reconstructed from a charged
or a neutral pion candidate and a pair of oppositely charged electrons or
muons. No significant signal is observed and we set the upper limit on the
isospin-averaged branching fraction BF(B -> \pi \ell^+\ell^-) < 6.2x10^-8 at
the 90% confidence level.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, accepted by PRD(RC
