We introduce an information-theoretic measure, the Rényi information, to describe the galaxy distribution in space. We discuss properties of the information measure, and demonstrate its relationship with the probability distribution function and multifractal descriptions. Using the First Look Survey galaxy samples observed by the Infrared Array Camera onboard Spitzer Space Telescope, we present...

HLA-DRB1-DQB1 Haplotypes Confer Susceptibility and Resistance to Multiple Sclerosis in Sardinia

INTRODUCTION Genetic predisposition to multiple sclerosis (MS) in Sardinia (Italy) has been associated with five DRB1*-DQB1* haplotypes of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA). Given the complexity of these associations, an in-depth re-analysis was performed with the specific aims of confirming the haplotype associations; establishing the independence of the associated haplotypes; and assessing pa...

Using data collected by the Fermilab experiment FOCUS, we measure the lifetime of the charmed baryon Ξc using the decay channels Ξ o c → Ξ π and Ξc → Ω K. From a combined sample of 110 ± 17 events we find τ(Ξc) = 118 +14 − 12 ± 5 fs, where the first and second errors are statistical and systematic, respectively.
