We study the implication of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in B → π + π − decays on the extraction of weak phases taking into account the precise measurement of sin 2β, obtained from the " gold-plated " mode B → J/ψKS. Predictions and uncertainties for the hadronic parameters are investigated in QCD factorization. Furthermore, independent theoretical and experimental tests of the factorization...

Direct contingency analysis has been shown to be important. Instead of this success providing a powerful foundation for major advances in all of the important areas of psychology, I fear that it is becoming a gold plated cage. My evidence: relatively narrow areas of interest are dominating the field, both applied and basic. We are not expanding, and a field not busy being born is a field that i...

Background: The aim of the study was to analyse compare between interlock nailing and dynamic compression plating in humerus diaphyseal fractures its functional surgical outcome. Methods: 2019 2022, patients were randomly divided into two groups with help computer-generated coded envelopes, group A (humerus treated plating) B nailing) 20 each group. Outcomes evaluated based on operative time, b...

To improve the electromagnetic characteristics of conductive nano fillers, carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with nickel-phosphorous (Ni-P) and nickeliron (Ni-Fe) have been fabricated by the electroless plating process. Observations by the electron microscopy (SEM/TEM) and element analyzer (EDS/ELLS) showed the uniform Ni-P and Ni-Fe coated CNFs. The compositions of the plating layers were about Ni-6wt%...

background: the occurrence of heavy metals in the environment is of important concern due to their toxicity and health effects on humans, including cancer. because metals have been extensively used for centuries in commerce, environmental contamination is widespread; moreover, exposure to metals and metal compounds continues to be a significant public health problem. electroplating sludge conta...

Effects of various surface treatments on hydrogen embrittlement 6061-T6 aluminum alloy were investigated. Rotary bending fatigue tests showed that electroless Ni-P plating reduced the strength considerably because absorbed into substrate by plating. These findings suggest possibility evaluating conducting rotary after
