We demonstrate that light charged and extra neutral scalars in the (100-200) GeV mass range pass the potentially dangerous flavor constraints in a particular class of two-Higgs-doublet model which has appropriately suppressed flavor-changing neutral currents at tree level. We study their decay branching ratios into various fermionic final states and comment on the possibility of their detection in
We investigate the scalar potential of a general S3-symmetric three-Higgs-doublet model. The outcome of our analysis does not depend on the fermionic sector of the model. We identify a decoupling limit for the scalar spectrum of this scenario. In view of the recent LHC Higgs data, we show our numerical results only in the decoupling limit. Unitarity and stability of the scalar potential demand tha
We analyze the scalar sector properties of a general class of two-Higgs-doublet models which has a global U(1) symmetry in the quartic terms. We find constraints on the parameters of the potential from the considerations of unitarity of scattering amplitudes, the global stability of the potential and the p-parameter. We concentrate on the spectrum of the non-standard scalar masses in the decouplin
Prompted by the recent observation of a Higgs-like particle at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, we investigate a quantitative correlation between possible departures of the gauge and Yukawa couplings of this particle from their Standard Model expectations and the scale of unitarity violation in the processes WW→WW and tt̄→WW.
The shortest time interval controlled by a human being is the duration of a light pulse as short as only 100 attoseconds, i.e., 10-16 s. This "attosecond" light pulse belongs to the extreme ultraviolet range (XUV) of the electromagnetic spectrum, with central photon energy typically between 20 and 200 eV. Related to its brevity, an attosecond pulse has a broad bandwidth covering tens of eV. These
Boken redogör för de huvudsakliga resultaten av ett forskningsprojekt som undersöker rollen som skogsägare. Empiriska data insamlades genom semistrukturerade intervjuer som i många fall följdes av promenadintervjuer då skogsägarna visade upp och berättade om sina skogsbruk. Intervjuernas genomsnittliga längd var 2 timmar 6 minuter. 49 av 50 intervjupersoner var män men i många fall deltog även der
Background: Epidemiological data indicate decreased risk for development and growth of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), but DM also goes with increased cardiovascular (CV)morbidity and mortality. We evaluated the effects of DM on mortality and CV morbidity after elective open AAA repair. Methods: This is a nationwide observational cohort study of patients
AbstractPURPOSE: To assess the relative influence of genetic and environmental effects on retinal vessel diameters and blood pressure in healthy adults, as well as the possible genetic connection between these two characteristics. METHODS: In 55 monozygotic and 50 dizygotic same-sex healthy twin pairs, aged 20 to 46 years, interpolated diameter estimates for the central retinal artery (CRAE), the
Spatial distribution information on population density is essential for understanding urban dynamics. In recent decades, remote sensing techniques have often been applied to assess population density, particularly night-time light data (NTL). However, such attempts have resulted in mapped population density at coarse/medium resolution, which often limits the applicability of such data for fine-sca
Background: Delayed cord clamping (DCC) after 180 s reduces iron deficiency up to 8 months of infancy compared to babies who received Early Cord Clamping (ECC) at less than 60 s. Experimentally DCC has shown to improve cardio-vascular stability. To evaluate the effect of delayed (≥180 s) group versus early (≤60 s) cord clamping group on peripheral blood oxygenation and heart rate up to 10 min afte
AbstractBACKGROUND/AIMS: To assess the relative influence of genetic and environmental factors on retinal arterial tortuosity and the association between tortuosity and various health indices in healthy young to middle-aged persons. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 57 monozygotic and 52 dizygotic same-sex healthy twin pairs, aged 20 to 46 years, who were characterised by determination
Advanced 1-D models for secondary clarifiers aim to incorporate more realism by explicitly accounting for several phenomena that influence the settling process. For each of them a valid mathematical expression needs to be selected to obtain a calibrated model that can be used for operation and control. The presented work evaluates different available expressions for hinderedsettling based on long
An activated sludge process (ASP) consisting of a plug-flow reactor (PFR) and a non-ideal settler is modelled and analysed. One soluble substrate component and one particulate biomass are assumed. The biomass growth rate is described by a Monod function. The settler model includes hindered settling and compression. A model describing the steady-state behaviour of the ASP is derived which constrain
Rekonstruktion:Festen är ett labb som genomförs av grupperna Banditsagor (Malmö) och Skuggteatern (Umeå). Tillsammans undersöker de en form av scenkonst där publiken är aktörerna men inte behöver ta ansvar eller agera. Labbet pågår i en vecka och avslutas med två test i form av föreställningar. Det är dessa test som vi nu bjuder in till.Rekonstruktion:Festen är en rekonstruktion av ett fiktivt hän
