Testing models with non–minimal Higgs sector through the decay t → q + W Z Abstract We study the contribution of charged Higgs boson to the rare decay of the top quark t → q + W Z (q = d, s, b) in models with Higgs sectors that includes doublets and triplets. Higgs doublets are needed to couple charged Higgs with quarks, whereas the Higgs triplets are required to generate the non-standard verte...

Assembly of the spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoparticle (snRNP) core requires the participation of the multisubunit SMN (survival of motor neuron) complex, which contains SMN and several Gemin proteins. The SMN and Gemin2 subunits directly bind Sm proteins, and Gemin5 is required for snRNP biogenesis and has been implicated in snRNA recognition. The RNA sequence required for snRNP assembl...

Steatocystoma multiplex (SM) is an uncommon disorder, characterized by numerous skin‑colored subcutaneous cysts. A number of SM pedigrees have been identified with mutations in the keratin 17 (KRT17) gene. The present study examined a four‑generation Chinese pedigree with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance and examined its genetic basis. A review of the literature on KRT17 gene mutations...

The existence of 4 SM family results in an essential enhancement of the gluon fusion channel of Higgs boson production at hadron colliders. In this case, the SM Higgs boson could be seen at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) via the golden mode (H0 → 4l) even at Lint ≈ fb−1. One of the primary goals at the LHC, is to observe the Standard Model (SM) Higgs particle (H). The LEP data already set...

The existence of a 4 SM family would produce a large enhancement of the gluon fusion channel of Higgs boson production at hadron colliders. In this case, the SM Higgs boson could be seen at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) via the golden mode (H0 → 4l) with an integral luminosity of only a few fb−1. One of the primary goals at the LHC is to observe the Standard Model (SM) Higgs particle (H)...

The neural correlates of encoding mode, or the state of forming new memory episodes, have been found to change with age and mnemonic training. However, it is unclear whether neural correlates of encoding success, termed subsequent-memory (SM) effects, also differ by age and mnemonic skill. In a multi-session training study, we investigated whether SM effects are altered by instruction and train...

The assembly of spliceosomal U snRNPs depends on the coordinated action of PRMT5 and SMN complexes in vivo. These trans-acting factors enable the faithful delivery of seven Sm proteins onto snRNA and the formation of the common core of snRNPs. To gain mechanistic insight into their mode of action, we reconstituted the assembly machinery from recombinant sources. We uncover a stepwise and ordere...

We successfully synthesized La- and Sm-doped phenanthrene powder samples and observed superconductivity in them at T(c) around 6 K. The T(c)s are 6.1 K for La(1) phenanthrene and 6.0 K for Sm(1) phenanthrene, which are enhanced by about 1 and 0.5 K compared to those in A(3) phenanthrene (A = K and Rb) and in Ae(1.5) phenanthrene (Ae = Sr and Ba) superconductors, respectively. The superconductiv...

We introduce nanogap-embedded silver plasmonic gratings for single-molecule (SM) visualization using an epifluorescence microscope. This silver plasmonic plat‐ form was fabricated by a cost-effective nano-imprint lithography technique, using an HD DVD template. DNA/ RNA duplex molecules tagged with Cy3/Cy5 fluorophores were immobilized on SiO2-capped silver gratings. Light was coupled to the gr...

The sensitivity of the ATLAS experiment to low mass SM Higgs produced via Vector Boson Fusion mechanism with H → γγ is investigated. A cut based event selection has been chosen to optimize the expected signal significance with this decay mode. A signal significance of 2.2 σ may be achieved for MH = 130GeV with 30 fb of accumulated luminosity.
