The prospects for detecting a candidate supersymmetric dark matter particle at the LHC are reviewed, and compared with the prospects for direct and indirect searches for astrophysical dark matter. The discussion is based on a frequentist analysis of the preferred regions of the Minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with universal soft supersymmetry breaking (the CMSSM). LHC sea...

This study aims to critically summarize the literature about bisphenol A (BPA), indicate whether and how those risks are real and emphasize how it is eventually possible to prevent them. With this in mind, we should consider nature, risks and control of BPA, as well as its presence and its role in sealants and composites. It is important to note that we will focus on literature exclusively writ...

Horror movies consistently reflect metaphorical associations between verticality and affect, as well as between brightness and affect. For example, bad events happen when movie characters are going downwards, or when lights go off. Monsters and villains emerge from below and from the darkness. And protagonists get lost and stuck in dark underground caves, dungeons, tunnels, mines, bunkers or se...

ginger (zingiber officinale rosc.) is a herbaceous, rhizomatous, perennial, which its rhizomes are used as an important spices and medicine all over the world. the aromatic principles include zingiberine, while the pungent principles are known as gingeroles. callus culture of the plants can produce the same compounds exist on their parent plants. the aim of this work was to evaluate the effect ...

We study the relation between the gravitational lensing observables and the lens model and the cosmological parameters. We estimate the sensitivity of the lensing observables to the lens model and to the cosmological parameters. We show that the observables are primarily dependent on the lens model, while the dependence on cosmological parameters is minor (especially so for the dark energy para...
