The discovery by the ATLAS and CMS experiments of a new boson with mass around 125 GeV measured properties compatible those Standard-Model Higgs boson, coupled absence discoveries phenomena beyond Standard Model at TeV scale, has triggered interest in ideas for future factories. A circular e+e- collider hosted 80 to 100 km tunnel, TLEP, is among most attractive solutions proposed so far. It clean experimental environment, produces high luminosity top-quark, W Z studies, accommodates multiple...
The ArgoNeuT liquid argon time projection chamber has collected thousands of neutrino and anti-neutrino events during an extended run period in the NuMI beam-line at Fermilab.

Abstract RNase MRP and P are evolutionarily related complexes that facilitate rRNA tRNA biogenesis, respectively. The two enzymes share nearly all protein subunits have catalytic RNAs. Notably, includes a unique subunit, Rpp21, whereas no MRP-specific proteins been found in humans, limiting molecular analyses of function. Here, we identify the protein, C18orf21/RMRPP1. RMRPP1 Rpp21 display significant structural homology, but specific regions drive interactions with their respective...

The results show that create on demand, thereby...
Abstract Understanding the meteorological drivers of extreme impacts in social or environmental systems is important to better quantify current and project future climate risks. Impacts are typically an aggregated response many different interacting at various temporal scales, rendering such driver identification a challenging task. Machine learning–based approaches, as deep neural networks, may be able address this task but require large training datasets. Here, we explore ability...
