We discuss causality properties of extra-dimensional theories allowing for effectively superluminal bulk shortcuts. Such shortcuts for sterile neutrinos have been discussed as a solution to the puzzling LSND and MiniBooNE neutrino oscillation results. We focus here on the subcategory of asymmetrically warped brane spacetimes and argue that scenarios with two extra dimensions may allow for timel...

Some new regularities found in the pseudoscalar meson octet are reported. They invite to reconsider models where elementary fermions and composite QCD open strings can be grouped in common supermultiplets.

The decays of Υ(1s) → γ(η, η) are studied by an approach which has successfully predicted the ratio Γ(J/ψ→γη ) Γ(J/ψ→γη) . Strong dependence on quark mass has been found in the decays (J/ψ,Υ(1s)) → γ(η, η). Very small decay rates of Υ(1s) → γ(η, η) are
