TL;DR: The ALICE Collaboration has made the first measurement at the LHC of J/psi photoproduction in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The ALICE Collaboration has made the first measurement at the LHC of J/psi photoproduction in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV. The J/psi is identified via its dimuon decay in the forward rapidity region with the muon spectrometer for events where the hadronic activity is required to be minimal. The analysis is based on an event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 55 mu b(-1). The cross section for coherent J/psi production in the rapidity interval -3.6 < y < -2.6 is measured to be d sigma(coh)(J/psi)/dy = 1.00 +/- 0.18(stat)(-0.26)(+0.24)(syst) mb. The result is compared to theoretical models for coherent J/psi production and found to be in good agreement with those models which include nuclear gluon shadowing. (C) 2012 CERN.

TL;DR: In this paper, an isomorphism between the group of point transformations in classical mechanics and a certain subgroup of all unitary transformations in quantum mechanics was shown to indicate that the quantum analogs of physically significant classical expressions can be constructed uniquely in any coordinate system.
Abstract: An isomorphism is shown to exist between the group of point transformations in classical mechanics and a certain subgroup of the group of all unitary transformations in quantum mechanics. This isomorphism is used to indicate that the quantum analogs of physically significant classical expressions can be constructed uniquely in any coordinate system. There is no ambiguity in the ordering of noncommuting quantum operators, and the method of constructing the quantum analogs is covariant under general coordinate transformations. The method is actually only applicable to systems having Lagrangians which are at most quadratic in the velocities, but this includes all systems which are presently of interest in physics. The method is applied to two intrinsically nonlinear examples, one of which is the gravitational field. The correct Hamiltonian operator for a quantized version of Einstein's gravitational theory is constructed.

TL;DR: The core scientific objectives of Athena are reviewed, driving the main performance parameters of the X-IFU, namely the spectral resolution, the field of view, the effective area, the count rate capabilities, the instrumental background and the breakthrough potential.
Abstract: The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) of the Advanced Telescope for High-ENergy Astrophysics (Athena) large-scale mission of ESA will provide spatially resolved high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy from 0.2 to 12 keV, with 5

pixels over a field of view of 5 arc minute equivalent diameter and a spectral resolution of 2.5 eV (FWHM) up to 7 keV. The core scientific objectives of Athena drive the main performance parameters of the X-IFU. We present the current reference configuration of the X-IFU, and the key issues driving the design of the instrument.

TL;DR: The TG-to-HDL cholesterol ratio may be related to the processes involved in LDL size pathophysiology and relevant with regard to the risk of clinical vascular disease and suitable for the selection of patients needing an earlier and aggressive treatment of lipid abnormalities.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: In patients with type 2 diabetes, a normal HDL cholesterol level does not rule out that LDL particles may be small. Although techniques for analyzing LDL subfractions are not likely to be used in clinical practice, a prediction of LDL size based on a regular lipid profile may be useful for assessment of cardiovascular risk. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Sixty patients with type 2 diabetes with acceptable glycemic control and an HDL cholesterol level > or = 1 mmol/l were recruited after cessation of lipid-altering treatments. LDL size was determined by 2-20% PAGE; patients having small LDL (n = 30) were compared with those having intermediate or large LDL (n = 30). RESULTS: Clinical characteristics, pharmacological therapies, lifestyle, and prevalence of diabetes-related complications were similar in both patient groups. LDL size correlated negatively with plasma triglycerides (TGs) (R2 = 0.52) and positively with HDL cholesterol (R2 = 0.14). However, an inverse correlation between the TG-to-HDL cholesterol molar ratio and LDL size was even stronger (R2 = 0.59). The ratio was > 1.33 in 90% of the patients with small LDL particles (95% CI 79.3-100) and 16.5% of those with larger LDL particles. A cutoff point of 1.33 for the TG-to-HDL cholesterol ratio distinguishes between patients having small LDL values better than TG cutoff of 1.70 and 1.45 mmol/l. CONCLUSIONS: The TG-to-HDL cholesterol ratio may be related to the processes involved in LDL size pathophysiology and relevant with regard to the risk of clinical vascular disease. It may be suitable for the selection of patients needing an earlier and aggressive treatment of lipid abnormalities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed seismograms from 10 rock-fall events recorded between 1992 and 2001 by the permanent seismological network Sismalp in the French Alps and defined a new seismic magnitude scale, which allowed them to compare and classify g round-motion vibrations generated by these Alpine rock-falls.
Abstract: This study reviews seismograms from 10 rock-fall events recorded between 1992 and 2001 by the permanent seismological network Sismalp in the French Alps. A new seismic magnitude scale was defined, which allowed us to compare and classify g round-motion vibrations generated by these Alpine rock-falls. Each rock-fall has also been cha racterized by its ground-motion duration t30 at an epicentral distance of 30 km. No relation was found between rock-fall parameters (fall height, runout distance, volume, potential energy) and rock-fall s eismic magnitudes derived from seismogram amplitudes. On the other hand, the signal duration t30 shows a rough correlation with the potential energy and the runout distance, highlighting the co ntrol of the propagation phase on the signal length . The signal analysis suggests the existence of at le ast two distinct seismic sources: one corresponding to the initial rupture associated with an elastic r ebound during the detachment and the other one generated by the rock impact on the slope. Although the fall phenomenon includes other complex processes (fragmentation of the block, interaction with topography, plastic deformation during and after impact) 2D finite-element simulations of thes e two seismic sources are able to retrieve the main seismogram characteristics.
