We measure the forward-backward asymmetries A[subscript]FB of charged Ξ and Ω baryons produced in p (p) over bar collisions recorded by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider at √s = 1.96 TeV as a function of the baryon rapidity y. We find that the asymmetries A[subscript]FB for charged...
This paper studies the price volatility transmission between the different markets along the value chain of fresh anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) in Spain. For this purpose, the prices at the ex-vessel market, the wholesale market and the retail market are considered. As a methodology, a Vector Autoregressive Model (VAR) and an...
Real-time PCR assays using locked nucleic acid (LNA) probes and high resolution melt (HRM) analysis were developed for molecular differentiation of Pseudoperonospora cubensis and P. humuli, causal agents of cucurbit and hop downy mildew, respectively. The assays were based on a previously identified single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the cytochrome...
When pavement markings on roadways are removed, scarring can occur leaving behind traces of where the marking used to be called ghost lines. These ghost lines can confuse drivers on the roadway and divert their attention from the correct lane markings leading them into the false lane. Previous research has...
This document describes the design and implementation of a pair of language interfaces to a network database management system. CSDDL provides the DBMS with a data description language facility, and CSDSDL functions as a data storage description language interface of the DBMS. Source languages of CSDDL and CSDSDL are approximately...
In some legislative bodies, the use of terms like climate change and global warming is frequently seen as taboo. In the United States, voters who identify as right-leaning have reported little concern about the environment or climate change. This lack of interest is mirrored by Republican legislators who often publicly...
The Pacific Islander diaspora in the Pacific Northwest United States is a unique community characterized by diverse cultures, experiences, and motivations for migration. This study aimed to explore the narratives of individuals from different Pacific Islander backgrounds residing in Oregon, shedding light on their reasons for migration and the impact...
On a global scale, illicit economies have dramatic impacts on the physical environment. Cocaine trafficking has been recognized as a major driver of deforestation inside Central American protected areas. A key problem in studying and managing the environmental impacts of illicit economic activity is the difficulty in obtaining reliable data....
