This paper presents cross sections for the production of a W boson in association with jets, measured in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the large hadron collider. With an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb(-1), th . . .

Today value is considered a key hallmark of US shoppers. Although research has examined consumer perceived value (CPV) in the context of shopping in general, this study provides specifics about CPV in the context of consumers’ shopping experiences in . . .

The purpose of this study was to acquire information about the social characteristics of the foster care parents now serving the San Bernardino County Welfare Department. A secondary aim was to translate this knowledge into some meaningful and. practi . . .

Two searches for new phenomena in final states containing a same-flavour opposite-sign lepton (electron or muon) pair, jets, and large missing transverse momentum are presented. These searches make use of proton-proton collision data, collected during . . .

It was the purpose of this study to compare the effects of three methods of physical training with the Larson Strength Test. More specifically, the purpose was to compare three groups of subjects in the development of strength: (1) a control group par . . .

A search for long-lived charged particles reaching the muon spectrometer is performed using a data sample of 37 pb−1 from pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2010. No excess is observed above the estimated backgro . . .

The current study investigated social class differences in judging the five risks outlined by the Domain Specific Risk Taking Scale (DOSPERT): social risk, recreational risk, financial risk, health and safety risk,and ethical risk. It was hypothesized . . .

A search for Higgs boson production in association with a pair of top quarks (t (t) over barH) is performed, where the Higgs boson decays to b (b) over bar, and both top quarks decay hadronically. The data used correspond to an integrated luminosity o . . .

The jet energy scale (JES) and its systematic uncertainty are determined for jetsmeasured with the ATLAS detector using proton-proton collision data with a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb(-1) . . .

The importance of the tomato has increased markedly in the last 25 to 30 years. Tomatoes now rank as the number one vegetable crop in California. In 1967, approximately 3.25 million tons of processing tomatoes were produced on 180,000 acres with a raw . . .

Fish execute a C start when they escape from a predator. Previous studies suggest that fish randomize their horizontal escape trajectories, but bias the response away from the stimulus. The fewstudies that looked at the vertical trajectory found that . . .

A search is performed for collimated muon pairs displaced from the primary vertex produced in the decay of long-lived neutral particles in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy, with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. In a 1.9 f . . .

Traditional cell culture techniques grow cells in a two-dimensional (2D) format on compatible surfaces, but cells do not grow like this in vivo. A fast-emerging alternative is three-dimensional (3D) cell culture, which encourages cells to work togethe . . .

We report on a study of the ratio of inclusive three-jet to inclusive two-jet production cross sections as a function of total transverse energy in p (p) over bar collisions at it center-of-mass energy roots = 1.8 TeV, using data collected with the DO . . .

People are notoriously bad at planning and tend to misestimate how long it will take to complete a task. People tend to underestimate task duration when the task takes more than about 10 minutes to complete, and overestimate task duration when the tas . . .

The cotton grower is faced with the problem of obtaining a uniform cotton stand at planting time. Insects, diseases and nutrient deficiency are some of the problems the grower must face. The cottonseed and the cotton seedling provide an environment fo . . .

A search for squarks and gluinos in final states containing jets, missing transverse momentum and no electrons or muons is presented. The data were recorded by the ATLAS experiment in √s = 7 TeV proton–proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. N . . .

This investigation was threefold: (1) to submit the technology drafting option program at Fresno State College to sixty-eight selected industries for their evaluation of the present program; (2) to seek advisement for the revision or addition of cours . . .
