Associated single top production with a Z boson or a photon at large hadron colliders provides a precise determination of top flavour-changing neutral couplings. The best way to measure these couplings with the up quark at Tevatron is to search for events with three jets and missing energy or events with a pho-ton, a charged lepton, a jet and missing energy. The other significant decay channels...

Gastroduodenal motility has been described in several avian species. In domestic turkeys (Melagridis gallapavo; Duke et al. 1972, Dziuk and Duke 1972), chickens (Gallus gallus; Roche et al. 1971), Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedorum; Levey and Duke 1993), and Leach's Storm-Petrels (Oceanodroma leuchoroa; Duke et al. 1989), the sequence begins with contraction of the pair of thin muscles of the m...
