The first observation of the decay Bs -> D0bar K- π+ is reported. The analysis is based on a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb-1 of pp collisions, collected with the LHCb detector. The branching fraction relative to that of the topologically similar decay B0 -> D0bar π+ π- is measured to be BR(Bs -> D0bar K- π+)/BR(B0 -> D0bar

In this paper, we construct a strongly universal cellular automaton on the line with 11 states and the standard neighbourhood. We embed this construction into several tilings of the hyperbolic plane and of the hyperbolic 3D space giving rise to strongly universal cellular automata with 10 states.

We analytically calculate the secular precession of the pericenter of a test particle orbiting a central body surrounded by a continuous distribution of Dark Matter (DM) by using some commonly adopted density profiles for it. We obtain exact expressions without resorting to a-priori simplifying assumptions on the orbital geometry of the test particle. Our fo

The non-stationary dynamics of a bouncing ball, comprising of both periodic as well as chaotic behavior, is studied through wavelet transform. The multi-scale characterization of the time series displays clear signature of self-similarity, complex scaling behavior and periodicity. Self-similar behavior is quantified by the generalized Hurst exponent, obtaine

A search has been performed for photons originating in the decay of a neutral long-lived particle, exploiting the capabilities of the ATLAS electromagnetic calorimeter to make precise measurements of the flight direction of photons, as well as the calorimeter's excellent time resolution. The search has been made in the diphoton plus missing transverse en

This paper addresses the following general scenario: A scientist wishes to perform a battery of experiments, each generating a sequential stream of data, to investigate some phenomenon. The scientist would like to control the overall error rate in order to draw statistically-valid conclusions from each experiment, while being as efficient as possible. The be

We study the asymptotic behavior of smooth, origin-symmetric, strictly convex bodies under the centro-affine normal flows. By means of a stability version of the Blaschke-Santaló inequality, we obtain regularity of the solutions provided that initial convex bodies have almost maximum Mahler volume. We prove that suitably rescaled solutions converge sequentia

An arbitrary quantum-optical process (channel) can be completely characterized by probing it with coherent states using the recently developed coherent-state quantum process tomography (QPT) [Lobino et al., Science 322, 563 (2008)]. In general, precise QPT is possible if an infinite set of probes is available. Thus, realistic QPT of infinite-dimensional syst

We study uncharged Rindler hydrodynamics at second order in the derivative expansion. The equation of state of the theory is given by a vanishing equilibrium energy density. We derive relations among the transport coefficients by employing two frameworks. First, by the requirement of having an entropy current with a non-negative divergence, second by studyin

We show how the static magnetic field of a finite source can be transferred and routed to arbitrary long distances. This is achieved by using transformation optics, which results in a device made of a material with a highly anisotropic magnetic permeability. We show that a simplified version of the device, made by a superconducting-ferromagnet hybrid, also l

We study the ground-state properties of bosons loaded into the $p$-band of a one dimensional optical lattice. We show that the phase diagram of the system is substantially affected by the anharmonicity of the lattice potential. In particular, for a certain range of tunneling strength, the full many-body ground state of the system becomes degenerate. In this

The associated production of a $J/ψ$ and a $π$-meson in antiproton-nucleon annihilation is studied in the framework of QCD collinear factorization. In this approach, a hard subprocess responsible for the production of the heavy quark-antiquark pair factorizes from soft hadronic matrix elements, such as the antiproton (nucleon) distribution amplitude and the

We define guarded variable automata (GVAs), a simple extension of finite automata over infinite alphabets. In this model the transitions are labelled by letters or variables ranging over an infinite alphabet and guarded by conjunction of equalities and disequalities. GVAs are well-suited for modeling component-based applications such as web services. They ar

It has been argued that gravity acts dissipatively on quantum-mechanical systems, inducing thermal fluctuations that become indistinguishable from quantum fluctuations. This has led some authors to demand that some form of time irreversibility be incorporated into the formalism of quantum mechanics. As a tool towards this goal we propose a thermodynamical ap

We elaborate the theory of the stable Bernstein center of a $p$-adic group $G$, and apply it to state a general conjecture on test functions for Shimura varieties due to the author and R. Kottwitz. This conjecture provides a framework by which one might pursue the Langlands-Kottwitz method in a very general situation: not necessarily PEL Shimura varieties wi

To any manifold equipped with a higher degree closed form, one can associate an L-infinity algebra of local observables that generalizes the Poisson algebra of a symplectic manifold. Here, by means of an explicit homotopy equivalence, we interpret this L-infinity algebra in terms of infinitesimal autoequivalences of higher prequantum bundles. By truncating t

We show how to correctly account for scalar accretion onto black holes in scalar field models of dark energy by a consistent expansion in terms of a slow roll parameter.

Lower dimensional signal representation schemes frequently assume that the signal of interest lies in a single vector space. In the context of the recently developed theory of compressive sensing (CS), it is often assumed that the signal of interest is sparse in an orthonormal basis. However, in many practical applications, this requirement may be too restri

In this paper, we introduce two focussed sequent calculi, LKp(T) and LK+(T), that are based on Miller-Liang's LKF system for polarised classical logic. The novelty is that those sequent calculi integrate the possibility to call a decision procedure for some background theory T, and the possibility to polarise literals "on the fly" during proof-se

We investigate the effect of an in-plane AC electric field coupled to electrons in the honeycomb lattice and show that it can be used to manipulate the Dirac points of the electronic structure. We find that the position of the Dirac points can be controlled by the amplitude and the polarization of the field for high frequency drivings, providing a new platfo

Cellular nutrient consumption is influenced by both the nutrient uptake kinetics of an individual cell and the cells' spatial arrangement.

The neutrino-nucleon --> lepton pion QE reaction on the A-target is used as a signal event or/and to reconstruct the neutrino energy, using two-body kinematics.

Within framework of the $μ$ from $ν$ Supersymmetric Standard Model ($μν$SSM), exotic singlet right-handed neutrino superfields induce new sources for lepton-flavor violation.

Kummer's conjecture states that the relative class number of the $p$-th cyclotomic field follows a strict asymptotic law. Granville has shown it unlikely to be true -- it cannot be true if we assume the truth of two other widely believed conjectures.

We start the study of the family of birational maps $(f_{α,β})$ of $\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C}$ in \cite{Deserti}. For generic $α$ and $β$ of modulus 1 the centraliser of $f_{α,β}$ is trivial, the topological entropy of $f_{α,β}$ is 0, there exist two areas of linearisation: in the first one the closure of the orbit of a point is a torus, in the other one the c

Rank minimization has attracted a lot of attention due to its robustness in data recovery. To overcome the computational difficulty, rank is often replaced with nuclear norm. For several rank minimization problems, such a replacement has been theoretically proven to be valid, i.e., the solution to nuclear norm minimization problem is also the solution to ran

After the successful measurement of the mixing angle $θ_{13}$, the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy has become a priority for future neutrino experiments.

Equilibria of polygonal linkage with respect to Coulomb potential of point charges placed at the vertices of linkage are considered.

An abelian variety over a number field is called L-abelian variety if, for any element of the absolute Galois group of a number field L, the conjugated abelian variety is isogenous to the given one by means of an isogeny that preserves the Galois action on the endomorphism rings.

The mass spectrum and strong decays of the X(1870) and $η_2(1870)$ are analyzed. Our results indicate that X(1870) and $η_2(1870)$ are the two different resonances. The narrower X(1870) seems likely a good hybrid candidate. We support the $η_2(1870)$ as the $η_2(2^1D_2)$ quarkonium. We suggest to search the isospin partner of X(1870) in the channels of $J/ψ\

We give some general theorems on free algebras of varieties of Boolean algebras with operators; a hitherto new result is obtained for Pinter&#39;s substitution algebras. For n\geq 3, and m>1, there is a generating set of the free algebra freely generated by m elements, which is not a free set of generators.

We study the complexity of central controller synthesis problems for finite-state Markov decision processes, where the objective is to optimize both the expected mean-payoff performance of the system and its stability. We argue that the basic theoretical notion of expressing the stability in terms of the variance of the mean-payoff (called global variance in

We study the problem of computing semantic-preserving word clouds in which semantically related words are close to each other. While several heuristic approaches have been described in the literature, we formalize the underlying geometric algorithm problem: Word Rectangle Adjacency Contact (WRAC). In this model each word is associated with rectangle with fix

The article is devoted to the resampling approach application to the reliability problems. This approach to reliability problems was first proposed by Ivnitsky (1967). Resampling is intensive statistical computer method, which is non-parametrical, that uses initial samples data in different combinations to simulate the process many times and get finally the

The measurement of ovarian volume has been shown to be a useful indirect indicator of the ovarian reserve in women of reproductive age, in the diagnosis and management of a number of disorders of puberty and adult reproductive function, and is under investigation as a screening tool for ovarian cancer. To date there is no normative model of ovarian volume th

The paper presents some new results on Z-related sets obtained by computational methods. We give a complete enumeration of all Z-related sets in $\mathbb{Z}_{N}$ for small $N$. Furthermore, we establish that there is a reasonable permutation group action representing the Z-relation.

We introduce a use case and propose a system for data and knowledge integration in life sciences. In particular, we focus on linking clinical resources (electronic patient records) with scientific documents and data (research articles, biomedical ontologies and databases). Our motivation is two-fold. Firstly, we aim to instantly provide scientific context of

We introduce numbers depending on three parameters which we call skyscraper numbers. We discuss properties of these numbers and their relationship with Stirling numbers of the first kind, and we also introduce a skyscraper sequence.

Lower-dimensionality at higher energies has manifold theoretical advantages as recently pointed out. Moreover, it appears that experimental evidence may already exists for it - a statistically significant planar alignment of events with energies higher than TeV has been observed in some earlier cosmic ray experiments. If this alignment is not a fluke, then t

The ratio between the rates of the reactions O-17(α,n)Ne-20 and O-17(α,γ)Ne-21 determines whether O-16 is an efficient neutron poison for the s process in massive stars, or if most of the neutrons captured by O-16(n,γ) are recycled into the stellar environment. This ratio is of particular relevance to constrain the s process yields of fast rotating massive s

Description Logic Knowledge and Action Bases (KABs) have been recently introduced as a mechanism that provides a semantically rich representation of the information on the domain of interest in terms of a DL KB and a set of actions to change such information over time, possibly introducing new objects. In this setting, decidability of verification of sophist

In the present work, we report on the in situ magnetic force microscopy (MFM) study of the magnetization reversal in two-dimensional arrays of ferromagnetic Ni80Fe20 and Co55Fe45 nanowires(NW) with different diameters (40, 50, 70 and 100 nm) deposited inside low porosity (P<1%) nanoporous polycarbonate membranes. In such arrays, the nanowires are sufficientl
