Combination of searches for heavy spin-1 resonances using 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A combination of searches for new heavy spin-1 resonances decaying into diferent pairings of W, Z, or Higgs bosons, as well as directly into leptons or quarks, is presented. The data sample used corresponds to 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV collected during 2015–2018 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Analyses selecting quark pairs (qq, bb, tt¯, and tb) or third-generation leptons (τν and τ τ ) are included in this kind of combination for the frst time. A simplifed model predicting a spin-1 heavy vector-boson triplet is used. Cross-section limits are set at the 95% confdence level and are compared with predictions for the benchmark model. These limits are also expressed in terms of constraints on couplings of the heavy vector-boson triplet to quarks, leptons, and the Higgs boson. The complementarity of the various analyses increases the sensitivity to new physics, and the resulting constraints are stronger than those from any individual analysis considered. The data exclude a heavy vector-boson triplet with mass below 5.8 TeV in a weakly coupled scenario, below 4.4 TeV in a strongly coupled scenario, and up to 1.5 TeV in the case of production via vector-boson fusion

Inclusão de diferentes níveis de casca de soja moída em dietas isoenergéticas para suínos em crescimento e terminação Different inclusion levels of soybean hull on isoenergetic growing-finishing pig diets

O experimento foi conduzido com o objetivo de verificar o efeito da inclusão de diferentes níveis de casca (CS) de soja em dietas isoenergéticas para suínos em crescimento e terminação. Quarenta suínos híbridos, machos castrados e fêmeas, com peso inicial de 27,8 &plusmn; 2,1kg, foram bloqueados por peso e distribuídos ao acaso em cinco tratamentos, com quatro repetições de dois animais/baia (unidade experimental). Os tratamentos consistiram da inclusão de 0; 4; 8; 12 e 16% de CS moída (2,5mm) em dietas isoenergéticas (16,4 e 15,0% PB e 3.385 e 3.390kcal ED kg-1) para as fases de crescimento e terminação, respectivamente. Nenhuma variável de desempenho foi influenciada pela inclusão de CS nas dietas. Os níveis crescentes de CS promoveram redução linear da espessura de toucinho (ET), do rendimento de carcaça quente (RCQ) e do rendimento de carcaça fria (RCF) e aumento da quebra por resfriamento (QR). Para as variáveis peso de carcaça quente (PCQ) e peso de carcaça fria (PCF), foram observados efeitos quadráticos, sendo os menores valores observados com 8,0% de inclusão de CS. O aumento do nível de CS na dieta elevou a QR, que piorou o rendimento de carcaça e diminuiu a ET. Não houve diferença para comprimento de carcaça, peso de pernil, área de olho de lombo e relação carne: gordura. Os resultados sugerem que a inclusão de até 16% de CS nas dietas dos suínos em crescimento/terminação não altera seu desempenho e pode produzir carcaças mais magras.<br>The experiment was carried out to verify the effect of different soybean hull (SH) inclusion levels on isoenergetic growing-finishing pig diets. Forty crossbred pigs, barrows and gilts, with 27.8 &plusmn; 2.1kg of BW, were blocked according to the weight and distributed in a randomized way in five treatments, with four replicates of two pigs per pen (experimental unit). The treatments consisted of the inclusion of 0; 4; 8; 12 and 16% of ground SH (2.5mm) on isoenergetic diets (16.4 and 15.0% CP and 3,385 and 3,390 kcal DE kg-1 for growing and finishing phases, respectively. None of the performance parameters were influenced by SH inclusion on diets. The crescent SH levels promoted linear reduction on the back fat thickness (BT) and an increase of shrinkage chilling (SCh), hot carcass yield (HCY) and cold carcass yield (CCY). To the variables hot carcass weight (HCW) and cold carcass weight (CCW) were observed quadratic effects and smaller values were observed with 8.0% of SH inclusion. The SH increase level also increase the SCh, worst the carcass yield and decrease the BT. No difference was observed to the length carcass, ham weight, loin muscle area and meat: fat ratio. The results suggest that the inclusion up to 16% of SH on growing-finishing pigs diets does not change their performance and can produce leaner carcasses
