High-Q measurements of fused-silica microspheres in the near infrared [PDF]
Measurements of the quality factor Q ~ 8 x 10^9 are reported for the whispering-gallery modes (WGM’s) of quartz microspheres for the wavelengths 670, 780, and 850 nm; these results correspond to finesse F ~ 2.2 x 10^6. The observed independence of Q from

We observe both the Jpc = l++ ji(1285) and the Jpc = O-+r]f(958) in tagged two photon interactions and the q’(958) in untagged interactions. The measured Q2 dependence and decay distribution support the ji(1285) spin-parity assignment.

Sex differences in plasma clozapine and norclozapine concentrations in clinical practice and in relation to body mass index and plasma glucose concentrations: a retrospective survey [PDF]
Background Clozapine is widely prescribed and, although effective, can cause weight gain and dysglycemia. The dysmetabolic effects of clozapine are thought to be more prevalent in women with this gender on average attaining 17 % higher plasma clozapine ...

The Impact of CO2 – Induced Warming on Downhill Skiing in the Laurentians [PDF]
À l'aide des deux scénarios de variation climatique retenus par le Centre d'étude canadien sur le climat, les auteurs tentent de cerner quel serait l'effet, sur la pratique du ski alpin dans les basses Laurentides, des changements de température et de ...

The PFS is a multi-object spectrograph fed by 2394 fibers at the prime focus of Subaru telescope. Since the F/# at the prime focus is too fast for the spectrograph, we designed a small concave-plano negative lens to be attached to the tip of each fiber ...

Longitudinal Properties of Two-Dimensional Classical Electron Liquids [PDF]
The dynamic form factor and the dispersion relation of the plasma oscillation of two-dimensional classical systems of electrons with ordinary Coulomb interaction are obtained by numerical experiments in the domain of the plasma parameter 2.24≤√=(πn)(1/2 ...

On dynamic breadth-first search in external-memory [PDF]
We provide the first non-trivial result on dynamic breadth-first search (BFS) in external-memory: For general sparse undirected graphs of initially $n$ nodes and O(n) edges and monotone update sequences of either $\Theta(n)$ edge insertions or $\Theta(n)$

Association of Clinical Characteristics With Variation in Emergency Physician Preferences for Patients. [PDF]
Importance:Much of the wide variation in health care has been associated with practice variation among physicians. Physicians choosing to see patients with more (or fewer) care needs could also produce variations in care observed across physicians ...

Phenomenology of GeV-scale scalar portal [PDF]
We review and revise the phenomenology of the scalar portal -- a new scalar particle with the mass in GeV range that mixes with the Higgs boson. In particular, we consider production channels $B\to S K_1(1270)$ and $B\to S K_0^*(700)$ and show that their
