Recent results on light hadron spectroscopy are reported, with special emphasis on the evidence for a narrow baryonic state decaying to K 0 S p and K 0 S ¯ p, compatible with the pentaquark state θ + observed by fixed target experiments. The data were collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 121 pb −1. The analyses were performed in the central rapidity region ...

Heavy charged Higgs bosons (H) of a Type II 2-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) can be detected at future electron-positron Linear Colliders (LCs) even when their mass is larger than half the collider energy. The single Higgs mode ee → tb̄H+ c.c. → 4b+jj+ l+p T (where j represents a jet and with l = e, μ) contributes to extend the discovery reach of H states into the mass region MH± ∼ √ s/2, where the ...

The Tevatron collider at Fermilab, operating at √ s = 1.96 TeV, has a huge bb̄ production cross section which is several orders of magnitude larger than the production rate at ee colliders running on the Υ(4S) resonance. In addition, on the Υ(4S) only B and B d are produced, while higher mass b-hadrons such as B s , Bc, b-baryons, B , and p-wave B mesons are currently produced only at the Tevatr...

The K 0 S p invariant mass spectrum was reconstructed in several kinematic regions with the main emphasis on the studies of the production mechanism of the Θ + candidate recently observed by ZEUS. The candidate Θ + signal was found to be produced predominantly in the forward hemisphere in the laboratory frame. This is unlike the case for the Λ(1520) or the Λ c , and indicates that the Θ + may h...

AIM To analyze the body composition, strength level, and the quality of life related to the health (QoL) in veteran sportsmen (>35 years old) in relation to sedentary ones (S), and to compare the result in the mentioned variables between two models of sports practice, long-distance runners (LDR) and bodybuilding practitioners (BBP). METHODS One hundred forty-eight male participants took part ...

In Korea, oyster culture began in the early 1900’s. Commercial oyster culture using the hanging system started in the 1960’s, on the southern coast. After the 1960’s, production of cultured oysters has increased every year to the late 1980’s with the highest production recorded at 288,078 metric tons in 1987. This upward trend stagnated in the 1990’s and production dropped to 174,117 metric ton...
