The pentaquark state of Θ+(uudds) has been observed to decay with two decay modes: Θ+ → nK+ and Θ+ → pK0. The decay probability ratio of the two decay modes is studied with general symmetry consideration of isospin, spin, and parity. We arrive at a result of the ratio Γ(Θ →nK) Γ(Θ+→pK0) = (α−β) 2 (α+β)2 (1 k2 )2L+1, which is valid for the Θ+ state to be a pure isoscalar or isovector state, or a...

to evaluate the effect of replacing the almond meal on viscoelastic properties of rice cake, stress relaxation test was carried out. stress relaxation test were conducted using a texture analyzer machine. constants of the peleg - normand and the extended maxwell model for variables were calculated. the results showed that with increasing strain rate increased amount of k1, k2 and decay forces, ...

We review what has been learned about CP violation in the K system. It is natural to hypothesize that the observed CP-violating effects are caused by the Standard Model weak interaction. We describe the stringent future test of this hypothesis via experiments on the B system. Then, we see how new physics beyond the Standard Model could be revealed by this test. 1. What do we already know? Befor...

background: there have been numerous researches on elastomeric ligatures, but clinical conditions in different stages of treatment are not exactly similar to laboratory conditions. the aim of this in vitro study was to simulate clinical conditions and evaluate the effect of three stretching patterns on the amount of force, tensile strength (ts) and extension to ts of the elastomers during 8 wee...

background and aims. the purpose of this study was to evaluate initial force and force decay of commercially available elastomeric ligatures and elastomeric separators in active tieback state in a simulated oral environment. materials and methods. a total of 288 elastomeric ligatures and elastomeric separators from three manufacturers (dentaurum, rmo, 3m unitek) were stretched to 100% and 150% ...

The recently developed relativistically covariant formulation of wave function reduction is illustrated for Lipkin’s proposal to study CP violation in the coherent decay of kaon pairs. Covariant results are obtained in agreement with an amplitude approach proposed in the literature. Work partially supported by the Department of Energy under contracts DE-FG05-87ER40319 and DEFG05-85ER2500. Depar...
