Recently several Higgsless models of electroweak symmetry breaking have been proposed in which unitarity of W,Z scattering amplitudes is partially restored through a tower of massive vector gauge bosons. These massive states are expected to couple mainly toW and Z and should appear as resonances in WW and WZ fusion at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We study the LHC discovery reach for th...

Stoponium, a bound state of the top squark and its antiparticle in a supersymmetric model, may be found in the ongoing Higgs searches at the LHC. Its WW and ZZ detection ratios relative to the standard model Higgs boson can be more than unity from the WW* threshold to the two Higgs threshold. The γγ channel is equally promising. Some regions of the stoponium mass below 150 GeV are already being...

The study aimed to investigate the enhancement of biogas production through anaerobic digestion from blends wastewater and microalgae. microalgae functioned as a co-substrate. A series laboratory-scale batch co-digestion were carried out under mesophilic conditions for 21 days. Biogas rates (WW) alone different WW (MA) analysed. In addition, nutrient values reduction in volume after determined....

In a split N-application system, the objective was to quantify N/15N in gluten and non-gluten proteins after late application of 30 or 60 kg N, whereby 10% third applied as 15N. This fertilization combined with reduced water supply for 21 days (well-watered (ww); deficit (wd)). German spring wheat cultivars, Elite Taifun, Quality Monsun cultivars from Mediterranean territory, Golia, Gönen, were...

The inherited anemia discussed in this paper has been found to be caused by, or to be closely associated with, the gene W for dominant white (1). Mice of the genetic const,itution Ww have a certain amount of white in their pelage, the recessives ww, in the absence of other factors for white, are uniformly colored, while the homozygous condition WW is manifested somatically by a severe anemia wh...

BACKGROUND It remains controversial whether pediatric adenotonsillectomy ultimately results in decreased serum immunoglobulin levels and if so whether such a decrease is associated with increased susceptibility to upper respiratory tract infections (URIs). OBJECTIVE To evaluate changes in serum immunoglobulin levels in relation to occurrence of URIs in children participating in a randomized c...

The purpose of this study was to estimate correlations between purebred and crossbredperformance to verify efficiency of current models used in multi-breed selection. Records onthree weight traits: birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW) and post-weaning gain (PW) frompurebred Limousins (L) and Limousin*Angus progeny (F1), were used to estimate geneticparameters using a multi...

Perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS) can be a final degradation product of perfluorobutane sulfonyl fluoride (PBSF)-based chemicals. Surfactants based on this chemistry are potential replacements for perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS)-related products and have many potential applications in industrial and commercial processes and applications. To evaluate the potential hazard that PFBS may pose to av...

A depression in feed intake and growth often occurs in the weaned pig. Spray-dried plasma is often added to nursery diets in an attempt to stimulate feed intake during this lag. The current study evaluated gene expression of appetite regulators in hypothalamus and adipose tissue 4 d after weaning. Barrows (2 wk of age) were cross-fostered to a sow (SOW, n = 8) or weaned and fed a nursery diet c...
