Over the past decade, a large number of jet substructure observables have been proposed in literature, and explored at LHC experiments. Such attempt to utilize internal structure jets order distinguish those initiated by quarks, gluons, or boosted heavy objects, such as top quarks W bosons. This report, originating from motivated BOOST2013 workshop, presents original particle-level studies that aim improve our understanding relationships between observables, their complementarity, dependence...
Introduction Although many owners are satisfied by dog ownership, large numbers of dogs relinquished annually, with an estimated 130,000 cared for each year rescue organisations in the UK. Unrealistic ownership expectations a potential factor decision to relinquish and therefore understanding what surprises about realities how this meets their is vital. Methods Using retrospective cross-sectional cohort study design, as part Dogs Trust’s National Dog Survey 2021, were asked ‘what has...
While a doctor-diagnosis of asthma is associated with an increased risk pain and acute chest syndrome (ACS) in children sickle cell anemia (SCA), little known about the relationship between specific characteristics clinical factors future morbidity SCA. We evaluated (i) at time visit (respiratory symptoms, maternal history asthma, allergy skin tests, spirometry results) (ii) factor ACS early life, on prospective episodes cohort 159 SCA followed from birth to median 14.7 years. An episode...
With dogs being the most commonly owned companion animal in United Kingdom, knowledge about dog demographics is important understanding impact of on society. Furthermore, demography owners also to better target support and their achieve optimal welfare canine population. Combining natural fluctuations population unprecedented events such as COVID-19 pandemic, need for an up-to-date large-scale dataset even more paramount. In order address this, Dogs Trust launched 'National Dog Survey'...
Dog behaviour that owners perceive as undesirable can compromise dog welfare, impact the owner and human–animal bond, may result in relinquishment or euthanasia. This longitudinal study explored type percentage of owner-perceived behaviours 6, 9, 12, 15 18-month-old dogs, examined differences prevalence four commonly reported across these timepoints. Owners their dog’s via free-text answers self-administered surveys. Of five timepoints studied, highest dogs by to display one more was...
We consider the impact of varying α s choices (and scales) on each side so-called “matching scale” in MLM-matched matrix-element + parton-shower predictions collider observables. explain how inconsistent prescriptions can lead to counter-intuitive results and present a few explicit examples, focusing mostly W/Z+jets processes. give specific prescription for improve consistency matching also address perform consistent tune variations (e.g., renormalization scale) around central choice....
We present a particle-level study of the Standard Model non-resonant Higgs-pair production process in $$b\overline{b}$$ final state, at Large Hadron Collider $$\sqrt{s}=14$$ TeV. Each Higgs boson is reconstructed from pair close-by jets formed with anti- $$k_t$$ jet clustering algorithm, radius parameter $$R=0.4$$ . Given kinematic properties produced bosons, this reconstruction approach appears to be more suitable than use large-radius that was previously proposed literature. find...
Group living is widespread among animal species, and comes with a number of costs benefits associated foraging, predator avoidance reproduction. It largely unknown, however, whether individuals sacrifice exposure to their own preferred or optimal environmental conditions so they can remain part social group. Here, we demonstrate that individual three-spine sticklebacks vary in the degree which forego ambient temperature associate group conspecifics. Individual fish varied widely when tested...
The formation of social groups is an adaptive behaviour that can provide protection from predators, improve foraging and facilitate learning. However, the costs proximity include competition for resources, aggression kleptoparasitism meaning decision whether to interact represents a trade-off. Here we show zebrafish harbouring mutation in endothelin receptor aa (ednraa) form less cohesive shoals than wild-types. ednraa-/- mutants exhibit heightened decreased whole-body cortisol levels...
ASTM F2333 is a test method for quantifying traction characteristics between an athletic shoe and sports surface. This standard calls normal loads of 500—3000N to be applied footform playing To assess the effect varying load on coefficients cleated shoes artificial turf surfaces, new testing device was developed used collect data. Four different models were tested FieldTurf™ at ranging from 222N 1776N. Static, dynamic, peak coefficient values calculated each condition. There significant...
It is widely believed that fully hadronic final states are not competitive in searches for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider due to overwhelming QCD backgrounds. In this letter, we present a particle-level study of topology arising when TeV-scale resonance decays two Higgs bosons and these subsequently decay $b\bar{b}$, leading back-to-back boosted dijet systems. We show selecting events with dramatically reduces all backgrounds, thus enabling very variety models. For mass 1 TeV width...

Cross-national studies can elucidate the influence of sociocultural contexts on a wide variety aging issues. This study aims to develop methods for using secondary data cross-national comparisons productive activities as an example. The also identifies challenges in conducting research. Using national representative from United States, China, and South Korea, this developed sequence analysis. Results indicate that vary by country, variation could possibly be due differences context...
Limited socialisation can contribute to the development of undesirable dog behaviours. The COVID-19 lockdown potentially limited opportunities, which may negatively impact future behaviour puppies raised during lockdown. Data were gathered from longitudinal study participants in United Kingdom/Republic Ireland via multiple questionnaires between May 2016 and November 2022. age phase (pre-, during, post-) on types experiences 8-to-19-week-old recency approximately 6-month-old examined....

Abstract A prospective cohort of children with sickle cell disease (SCD) was evaluated to determine the variability daytime pulse oximetry among three measurements over approximately 1 year. Fifty‐eight participants were evaluated. Asymptomatic initial oxygen saturation ≤92% had a mean range year 4.6% (2.1–7.5%). In contrast, asymptomatic whose >92% 1.9% (0–5.5%). These results suggest, changes in measurement 5% may not be clinically significant otherwise, healthy SCD previous ≤92%....
This study aims to explore factors associated with owners reporting problem behaviour in dogs. Owner-completed surveys collected as part of a longitudinal dog health/behaviour were analysed. Owner-selected training methods classified into four categories on scale from 'Rewards only' 'Aversive that reflected the proportion aversive- and rewards-based selected. 'Owner-reported at 12-months' (problem reported/ not) was modelled logistic regression. Predictive variables included: dog/owner...
