During the last years ATLAS and CMS have reported a number of slight to mild discrepancies in signatures multileptons plus $b$-jets analyses such as $t\bar t H$, W^\pm$, Z$ t\bar t$. Among them, recent result on H$ production has also an excess charge asymmetry same-sign dilepton channel with two or more $b$-tagged jets. Motivated by these tantalizing discrepancies, we study phenomenological Ne...

At the present time very little information is available about the survival of typhus rickettsiae in fluid media. Data on this point are of value, however, in the solution of a number of problems which arise. The data presented in this report were not collected with the idea of making a detailed investigation of various media but simply to assess the value of media in common use for work in exp...

We addressed the question of whether private health care is illegal in Canada by surveying the health insurance legislation of all 10 provinces. Our survey revealed multiple layers of regulation that seem to have as their primary objective preventing the public sector from subsidizing the private sector, as opposed to rendering privately funded practice illegal.

Background This study aimed to explore how the pilot Peer Tutoring Programme in Youth College (Kowloon Bay) enhanced students’ vocational English learning. The findings showed that the program had positive effects on the students’ academic performance, increased their learning motivation, boosted their confidence and encouraged active learning outside the classroom. According to Topping [1], pe...

1.1. PETRA III: PETRA III is a new high-brilliance synchrotron radiation source to be built at DESY, Hamburg [1]. Planned to start operation in 2009, the facility will have 14 beam lines spread along one eighth of its circumference. 40 to 960 bunches with a current of 100 mA and an emittance of 1 nm·rad will be circulated at 6 GeV. The topping up operation will ensure a stable beam. 235 beam po...
