REVIEW OF EXPERIMENTAL SEARCHES FOR Bs OSCILLATIONS

The current status of experimental searches for Bs oscillations is reviewed. The three ALEPH analyses have been improved since Summer 2001, and submitted for publication. The combination of all available analyses is presented and discussed.

Comparison of inhaled atropine sulphate and atropine methonitrate.

The bronchodilator potencies of inhaled atropine sulphate and atropine methonitrate have been compared either alone or in combination with fenoterol in a group of adult asthmatic patients. A cumulative dose response study showed that 2 mg of atropine sulphate produced near maximum bronchodilatation. A larger dose of 4 mg was used in comparing the potency of this drug with 2 mg of atropine metho...

Atropine treatment for baclofen overdose.

A healthy 17-year-old girl took a single large dose (420 mg) of baclofen. She was conscious on admission to hospital, but within 3.5 hr of overdose showed signs of marked cerebral, cardiac and respiratory depression, flaccidity and hypothermia. Eight hours after overdose, atropine administered i.v. produced a worth-while increase in cardiac output, ventilation and temperature, lasting for about...

Bs−Bs mixing with a chiral light quark action

We study the B 0 s − B 0 s mixing amplitude in Standard Model by computing the relevant hadronic matrix element in the static limit of lattice HQET with the Neuberger light quark action. In the quenched approximation, and after matching to the MS scheme in QCD, we obtain B MS B s (m b) = 0.940(16)(22). c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCom...
