    Measurement of the W + jets and Z + jets Cross Section with the ATLAS detector

    Full text link
    The study of W or Z boson with accompanying hadronic jets in final states is of high importance at hadron colliders both to understand Standard Model processes and to measure background to Beyond Standard Model physics searches. The presence of one or more jets in the final state increases the complexity for the reconstruction of leptons and of missing transverse energy. The ATLAS prospects for the cross section measurement of W/Z + jets events at 14 TeV center of mass energy and integrated luminosity of 1 fb^{-1} using fully simulated data are discussed. The statistical and systematic limitations are discussed in terms of probing perturbative QCD predictions and Monte Carlo generators.Comment: To be published in the proceedings of DPF-2009, Detroit, MI, July 2009, eConf C09072

    This paper reviews and analyses the process and built-up of the ArtScience Museum. It touches on the history, building features and Moshe Safdie's design approach in forming the museum's architecture. Furthermore, it explores the motivations in having a cultural institution within the Marina Bay precinct  and the correlation of what it was intended to be with the identity it has formed today. The Art Science Museum can be seen as a form of an add-on to Marina Bay Sands as the tender competition project included a design for a cultural institution. However, despite it being a form of enhancement, the ArtScience Museum arose and served its purpose being an intriguing form of architecture and a place for learning for people alike

    Optimizing the Utilization of Potential Fisheries Resources in Coastal Communities

    Lack of fish catch is one of the problems faced by coastal communities. From the fish farming activities in the sea, the community can obtain enormous economic benefits and support the economic growth of the family through the sale of fish from aquaculture. The government has given the opportunity and responsibility to the community in managing its resources, where the community itself has a need, goals, and aspirations and the community also makes decisions for their welfare. Socialization is needed regarding the importance of keeping coral reefs because the benefits are very good for coastal communities. The challenge faced is because coastal communities are increasing the ability and knowledge of the community about the importance of protecting ecosystems and capturing fisheries that are safe for the environment
