Search for neutral MSSM Higgs bosons decaying to a pair of tau leptons in pp collisions [PDF]
A search for neutral Higgs bosons in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (MSSM) decaying to tau-lepton pairs in pp collisions is performed, using events recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 24.6 inverse femtobarns, with 4.9 inverse femtobarns at 7 TeV and 19.7 inverse ...

Evaporation of sessile water droplets on horizontal and vertical bi-phobic patterned surfaces [PDF]
This paper presents an experimental study on thermal transport to single water droplets evaporating on heated bi-phobic surfaces consisting of a superhydrophobic matrix with a circular hydrophobic pattern with strong contact line pinning. A single water droplet of 8 ul volume is placed on a preheated surface and allowed to evaporate in an open ...

Laboratory-Tutorial activities for teaching probability [PDF]
We report on the development of students' ideas of probability and probability density in a University of Maine laboratory-based general education physics course called Intuitive Quantum Physics. Students in the course are generally math phobic with unfavorable expectations about the nature of physics and their ability to do it.

Mechanical Model for Fiber-laden Membranes [PDF]
An integrated mechanical model for fiber-laden membranes is presented and representative predictions of relevance to cellulose ordering and orientation in the plant cell wall are presented. The model describes nematic liquid crystalline self-assembly of rigid fibers on an arbitrarily curved fluid membrane.
