The time-dependent CP asymmetries in fully reconstructed B0→D(∗)±π∓/ρ∓ decays (new preliminary result), and in partially reconstructed B0→D(∗)±π∓ decays, are measured with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory at SLAC, using 232 million Υ (4S) → BB decays. We combine the above results and, using other measurements and theoretical assumptions, we interpret them in terms of the an...

the important issue of epistemic impacts of sin addressed in thecontemporary epistemology may be studied from different aspects.one is related to the actual impacts which sin has on the securer ofknowledge and the other on the relation of human being and god asthe emanator of knowledge. in this article we address the first aspectin an analytic method from al-ghazali’s viewpoint. this impact is ...

Using a dynamic model we study the adaptive immune response to a sequence of two infections. As expected, memory cells generated by the first (primary) infection generate rapid response when the secondary infection is identical (homologous). When the secondary infection is different (heterologous), the memory cells have a positive effect or no effect at all. In exceptional instances in nature t...

6 = 2(cos( (π+2kπ) 6 ) + i sin( (π+2kπ) 6 )) where k = 0, 1, 2, · · · , 5. Let rk = 2(cos( (π+2kπ) 6 ) + i sin( (π+2kπ) 6 )) where k = 0, 1, 2, · · · , 5. Therefore r0 = 2(cos( π 6 )+i sin( 6 )) = √ 3+i, r1 = 2(cos( π 2 )+i sin( 2 )) = 2i, r2 = 2(cos( 5π 6 )+ i sin( 6 )) = − √ 3 + i, r3 = 2(cos( 7π 6 ) + i sin( 6 )) = − √ 3 − i, r4 = 2(cos( 2 ) + i sin( 2 )) = −2i and r5 = 2(cos( 6 ) + i sin( 1...

In this paper, we describe our approach and results for the semantics indexing (SIN) task and Multimedia event detection (MED) task at TRECVID2011. In our runs of SIN task, we used six features, spatiotemporal (ST) features, SURF, color, face, sound features and word histogram. This year, we use multiple frames selected by calculating the color difference between frames, not all frame. All runs...

We draw on portfolio theory and international diversification in order to analyse strategies allowing to reduce emerging economies’ exposure to exchange-rate risk. We show in particular that it may be efficient for an investor, in terms of maximising the return-to-risk ratio, to build up a portfolio of emerging-country assets denominated in local currency unhedged against currency risk compared...

Recent serological studies of seasonal influenza A in humans suggest a striking characteristic profile of immunity against age, which holds across different countries and against different subtypes of influenza. For both H1N1 and H3N2, the proportion of the population seropositive to recently circulated strains peaks in school-age children, reaches a minimum between ages 35-65, then rises again...

The neuroprotective effect of sinomenine (SIN) has been demonstrated in several brain injury models. However, its role and molecular mechanism in traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of SIN in the weight-drop model of TBI in male ICR mice. Mice were randomly divided into the sham and TBI groups, SIN (10 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg and 50 mg...
