A search for the dimuon decay of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson is performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 collected with the ATLAS detector in Run 2 pp collisions at s=13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The observed (expected) significance over the background-only hypothesis for a Higgs boson with a mass of 125.09 GeV is 2.0σ (1.7σ). The observed upper li
This book provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of courtroom ethnography. This collection gathers international researchers from a multitude of disciplines to explore three central themes: doing courtroom ethnography, ethnographic studies of the courtroom, and contemporary and critical aspects of courtroom ethnography. It highlights the nuances, negotiations, and issues that e
A displaced femoral neck fracture in a person around retirement age, with some comorbidities, poses challenges in determining the optimal surgical treatment. The long-term result will be affected by the patient's overall health, their life style factors, and the patient's compliance with restrictions. Ideally, the surgeon has to foresee the vitality of the patient during his/her remaining life spa
Analytical chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that even young schoolchildren encounter at an early stage in their education. Gravimetry and measurement uncertainties are aspects that form a part of such education, as well as measurements of pH and colorimetry. These are all an integral part of children’s early educational experiences, which shows the importance of this discipline within th
In social work, practitioners are often faced with situations in which they have to choose an intervention. A fundamental ethical principle of social work practice is to minimize the risk of adverse effects caused by social services. To adhere to this principle, practitioners must be aware of the possible positive and negative effects of potential services. There are hundreds of interventions curr
This paper investigates the possibility of using empirical tool life models to predict tool life in a side milling application in a medium carbon steel, C 45E. To do this, an extensive dataset containing 46 data points with different machining parameters are produced. Four different empirical models: Taylor's equation, Colding's equation and Extended Taylor both using depth of cut and feed as well
We incorporate age-specific socio-economic interactions in a SIR macroeconomic model to study the role of demographic factors for the COVID-19 epidemic evolution, its macroeconomic effects and possible containment measures. We capture the endogenous response of rational individuals who choose to reduce inter- and intra-generational social interactions, consumption- and labor-related personal expos
Over the last few decades, a critical revision of prior scholarship concerning Roman domestic space has led to the reappraisal of the traditional account of the atrium suggesting a possibility for this space to be ‘unroofed’. Accordingly, scholars have proposed to look for a convergence of impulses previously cultivated in isolation combining new theoretical frameworks, and a careful examination o
We have carried out a prospective, longitudinal 30-year review of 95 adolescents who underwent total meniscectomy in one knee, and have compared the results with those observed 13 years earlier. All the medical records were scrutinized. Of the 63 patients reviewed clinically, 47 reported decreased sporting activity, although subjective satisfaction rose by 3% to 71%. The scores on the WOMAC ostcoa
Since the pandemic, field work has been transformed by shifts in the political economy affecting the material conditions underpinning research. In this research note, a research team considers their challenges and learning in completing field studies conducted in 2022, including intensified strains on time, money, researchers’ bodies, and risks associated with illness and infection spread. We argu
We consider a system where a number of independent, time-triggered or event-triggered control loops are closed over a shared communication network. Each plant is described by a first-order linear stochastic system. In the event-triggered case, a sensor at each plant frequently samples the output but attempts to communicate only when the magnitude of the output is above a threshold. Once access to
The Mississippi Scale for Combat-Related PTSD is widely used in the assessment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The high face-validity of the scale may make it vulnerable to faking however. The present study found that the scores of individuals instructed to respond 'as if' they had PTSD did not differ from the scores of veterans with PTSD. Furthermore, although veterans who were diagnose
4.690 migrants have lost their lives in the Mediterranean this year, making 2016 once again set a tragic record and the Mediterranean account for more than three fourths of all registered migrant casualties worldwide. In his most recent book chapter, “The Perfect Storm: Sovereignty Games and the Law and Politics of Boat Migration”, Research Director and Professor Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen argues th
Purpose – Evasive entrepreneurs innovate by circumventing or disrupting existing formal institutional frameworks. Since such evasions rarely go unnoticed, they usually lead to responses from lawmakers and regulators. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach – The authors introduce a conceptual model to illustrate and map the interdependencey between evasive entrepreneurshi
In this study some microscopic medical images are treated. They are stained with H&E, so they mainly have two colors: pink and purple. The main target is to separate these two colors trying three different algorithms (as any of them is perfect). Pixels in the image have to be separated in two different clusters, so each pixel has to be studied for its classification. This fact makes the comput
In our paper, we analyse Credit Default Swaps (CDSs) for 67 European non-financial companies between December 2004 and December 2014, focusing on the five-year maturity corporate CDS spreads. The period of analysis is divided into three sub-periods; before the financial crisis, during the global financial crisis and the European sovereign debt crisis. The CreditGrades model is used to estimate CDS
