In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) it is assumed that R-parity (Rp) is conserved . While the particles of the Standard Model are even under Rp, their supersymmetric partners are odd, thus the latter can only be produced in pairs and they always decay into final states involving an odd number of supersymmetric particles. Although it considerably simplifies the structure of the M...

abstract  introduction: hypertension is a very common cardiovascular disease with extensive effects on body organs. this study was conducted to compare the extent of target organ damage in hypertensive patients with and without significant nocturnal fall in blood pressure (dippers and non-dippers, respectively). methods: one-hundred patients with recently diagnosed hypertension underwent 24-hou...

Serial attention is the process of focussing mentally on one item at a time. This process has two phases: attention switching and attention maintenance. Attention switching involves rapidly building up the activation of a new item to dominate old items. Attention maintenance involves letting the current item decay while in use to prevent it from intruding on the next item later on. SASM, a mode...

The reaction 28 Si + 181 Ta has been studied at E Lab =125 and 135 MeV. Coincidences between high energy particles and various X-and γ-rays from abnormally long-lived states were observed. e.g. 7.8-8.6 MeV α-particles with γ-rays of a superdeformed band, 5.1-5.5 MeV α-particles with X-and γ-rays of W, Re, and Pt, and 3.88 MeV particles (interpreted as protons) with 185.8 keV γ-rays. The data ar...

Artificial reverberation is an important music production tool with a strong but poorly understood perceptual impact. A literature review of the relevant works concerned with the perception of musical reverberation is provided, and the use of artificial reverberation in multisource mixes is studied. The perceived amount of total artificial reverberation in a mixture is predicted using relative ...

BACKGROUND Knowledge about the circumstances under which injurious falls occur could provide healthcare workers with better tools to prevent falls and fall-related injuries. Therefore, we assessed whether older persons who sustain an injurious fall can be classified into specific fall types, based on a combination of fall location and activity up to the moment of the fall. In addition, we asses...
