A comprehensive program of CP studies in heavy flavour decays has to go beyond observing large CP asymmetries in nonleptonic B decays and finding that the sum of the three angles of the KM triangle is consistent with 180. There are many more correlations between observables encoded in the KM matrix; those can be expressed through five KM triangles in addition to the one usually considered. To t...

In the course of screening for new antibiotics, a strain of a new species belonging to Streptoverticillium was found to produce a new peptide antibiotic. Most of the procedure used in the taxonomic study of the strain were carried out in accordance with the method adopted by the International Streptomyces Project (ISP)1) Additional media recommended by WAKSMAN2,3) were also used. From the morph...

Despite considerable recent growth in ultramarathon running, little is known about the characteristics of the participants. This work documents demographic characteristics of 161-km ultramarathoners. Surveys were completed by 489 of 674 runners entered in two of the largest 161-km ultramarathons in North America in 2009. Respondents had a mean (± SD) age of 44.5 ± 9.8 years (range 20-72 years) ...

1. The KM system In two seminal papers [9] for the modern theory of integrable systems Kac and vanMoerbeke introduced the system of o.d.e.’s u̇i = e ui+1 − ei−1 , i = 1, . . . , n, (1) where formally e0 = en+1 = 0. They showed, for example, that this system arises as a finite-dimensional aproximation of the famous KdV equations. Shortly after, Moser [10] showed that this system can be related to...
