The possibility of distinguishing between two higgs production mechanisms, W fusion and gluon fusion, due to rapidity gap existence is investigated using the Monte Carlo event generator PYTHIA. It is shown that, considering the designed CM energy and luminosity for the LHC, it is not possible to distinguish between the two higgs production processes as, for a given integrated luminosity, they l...

The valence band anticrossing model has been used to calculate the heavy/light hole and spin-orbit split-off energies in InAs(1-x)Bi(x) and InSb(1-x)Bi(x) alloy systems. It is found that both the heavy/light hole, and spin-orbit split E + levels move upwards in energy with an increase in Bi content in the alloy, whereas the split E - energy for the holes shows a reverse trend. The model is also...

We study the effect of SU (3) flavor breaking on high density quark matter. We discuss, in particular, the effect a non-zero electron chemical potential and a finite strange quark mass. We argue that these perturbations trigger pion or kaon condensation. The critical chemical potential behaves as µ e ∼ √ mm s ∆/p F and the critical strange quark mass as m s ∼ m 1/3 ∆ 2/3 , where m is the light ...

In the adult rat liver, the gap junction protein connexin 32 (Cx32) is evenly distributed in hepatocytes within the liver lobules, while connexin 26 (Cx26) is preferentially localized in hepatocytes in periportal zones. We report here that Cx26-positive gap junctions rapidly appear in the centrilobular hepatocytes of adult female rat livers during a 30 minute perfusion of the liver through the ...

Africa holds 15 % of world’s population with an across sector infrastructure investments average returns of 15 to 20%. The diverse location of people living within the continent makes intercity, interstate, or inter-country transactions difficult and where it does happens, comes with huge transaction cost. This creates a wide gap in Africa’s regional economy, resulting in wide spread of poverty...

E-government in South Africa has a particularly important historical and social context due to the legacy of apartheid. As a result, a ten year egovernment implementation horizon has been created from tested world wide practices. Thus far the plan is not being realised and a gap is appearing between what the policy says should be happening and what is actually happening. This gap is most likely...

In the Tree Augmentation Problem (TAP) the goal is to augment a tree T by a minimum size edge set F from a given edge set E such that T ∪ F is 2-edge-connected. The best known approximation ratio for the problem is 1.5 [5, 12]. Several paper analysed integrality gaps of LP and SDP relaxations for the problem. In [13] is given a simple LP with gap 1.5 for the case when every edge in E connects t...

While the discourse of international development has begun to recognise the potential of involving diaspora as agents of change, issues of sustainability and environmental impact are often missing from the assessment of outcomes and impact in the Global South. The purpose of the conference was to explore three terms: “development”, “sustainability” and “diaspora” which are often seen as separat...
