A CP-even neutral Higgs boson with standard-model-like couplings may be the lightest scalar of a twoHiggs-doublet model. We study the decoupling limit of the most general CP-conserving two-Higgs-doublet model, where the mass of the lightest Higgs scalar is significantly smaller than the masses of the other Higgs bosons of the model. In this case, the properties of the lightest Higgs boson are n...

If the recently discovered anomalous events at HERA are due to a scalar leptoquark, then it is very likely to have weak isospin I = 1/2. In that case, present precision measurements of the oblique radiative parameters S and T provide strong constraints on the mass of the other component of this doublet. If the standard model is extended to include such a doublet, a slightly better fit may in fa...

We construct a composite two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) within the context of dilaton effective field theory. This EFT describes particle spectrum observed in lattice simulations near-conformal $SU(3)$ gauge A second Higgs doublet is naturally accommodated EFT, used previously to one-Higgs-doublet model. explore interplay phenomenological and requirements, supplemented by information from numer...

Background: The emerging world of work requires the acquisition of a set of non-technical competencies with technical competencies in a career for sustainable employment. This paper aims at designing and validating a model for integrating the ethical components with technical competencies in curriculum based on competency in industrial mechanics’ branch. Method: The research approach is based ...

Earlier studies1' 2 of electron spin resonance of free radicals produced by ionizing irradiations in proteins revealed two characteristic patterns which occur for many different kinds of proteins at room temperatures, usually separately but sometimes in combination. One of these patterns is a doublet like that observed for irradiated acetylglycine, glycylglycine, and certain other peptides.1' 3...

The proposed model views drop coalescence in a turbulent flow field as a two-step process consisting of formation of a doublet due to drop collisions followed by coalescence of the individual droplets in a doublet due to the drainage of the intervening film of continuous phase under the action of colloidal (van der Waals and electrostatic) and random turbulent forces. The turbulent flow field w...

electrons, that is, an “open-shell doublet.” Although low-spin, open-shell states occur in molecules containing transition metals, the ground states of organic molecules are rarely of this type. Organic biradicals can have open-shell singlet ground states, depending on the orbital structure, but DMX is the first example of an organic triradical with an open-shell doublet ground state. Qualitati...

BACKGROUND Treatment options for advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the first line include platinum-based doublet therapy with or without bevacizumab. This study examined efficacy outcomes and patient reported outcomes (PROs) in a community oncology patient sample. METHODS Advanced nonsquamous NSCLC patients from 34 U.S. community oncology practices treated in first li...

BACKGROUND The efficacy and safety of a combination of chemotherapeutic agent compared with single-agent chemotherapy in the second-line setting of advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) are unclear. We aimed to study the survival impact of single-agent compared with doublet chemotherapy as second-line chemotherapy of advanced UC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Literature was searched for studies including...
