TL;DR: This Letter describes a new search for dijet resonances where this limitation is overcome by recording only the event information calculated by the jet trigger algorithms, thereby allowing much higher event rates with reduced storage needs.
Abstract: Searches for dijet resonances with sub-TeV masses using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider can be statistically limited by the bandwidth available to inclusive single-jet triggers, who ...

TL;DR: In this article, a search for neutral Higgs bosons of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is reported based on a sample of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider.
Abstract: A search for neutral Higgs bosons of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is reported. The analysis is based on a sample of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The data were recorded in 2011 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb(-1) to 4.8 fb(-1). Higgs boson decays into oppositely-charged in muon or tau lepton pairs are considered for final states requiring either the presence or absence of b-jets. No statistically significant excess over the expected background is observed and exclusion limits at the 95% confidence level are derived. The exclusion limits are for the production cross-section of a generic neutral Higgs boson, phi, as a function of the Higgs boson mass and for h/A/H production in the MSSM as a function of the parameters m(A) and tan beta in the m(h)(max) scenario for m(A) in the range of 90 GeV to 500 GeV.

TL;DR: The finite-time adaptive neural controller is proposed via the new command filter backstepping technique, and the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of the origin in finite time.
Abstract: This brief is concerned with the finite-time tracking control problem for switched nonlinear systems with arbitrary switching and hysteresis input. The neural networks are utilized to cope with the unknown nonlinear functions. To present the finite-time adaptive neural control strategy, a new criterion of practical finite-time stability is first developed. Compared with the traditional command filter technique, the main advantage is that the improved error compensation signals are designed to remove the filtered error and the Levant differentiators are introduced to approximate the derivative of the virtual control signal. The finite-time adaptive neural controller is proposed via the new command filter backstepping technique, and the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of the origin in finite time. Finally, the simulation results are provided to testify the validity of the proposed method.

TL;DR: The new finite-time command filter is introduced for generating command signals and their derivatives to work out the matter of “explosion of complexity,” and the modified fractional power-based error compensation mechanism (ECM) serves as removing the effect of filter error.
Abstract: In this article, the problem of finite-time adaptive fuzzy tracking control for multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with input saturation is investigated. The new finite-time command filter is introduced for generating command signals and their derivatives to work out the matter of ``explosion of complexity,'' and the modified fractional power-based error compensation mechanism (ECM) serves as removing the effect of filter error. Then, the finite-time adaptive control scheme is established via the backstepping recursive design technique. It guarantees all the signals of the closed-loop system (CLS) are finite-time bounded while the output tracking errors are regulated to a sufficiently small neighborhood of the origin in finite time. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed finite-time control scheme is verified by a numerical comparison example.

TL;DR: The application of SWE at 7 mL·L−1 showed higher performance in treated plants during prolonged irrigation intervals as well as saline conditions, implying that several mechanisms including drought tolerance, osmotic adjustment and antioxidant defense system may interact to enhance the performance of plants in the face of environmental stress following SWE treatments.
Abstract: The negative effects of the ongoing climate change include unusual prolonged droughts and increased salinity pressures on the agricultural lands. Consequently, crops are facing unprecedented environmental pressure, and this calls for more research towards controlling such major stresses. The current study investigates the effects of seaweed extract sprays of Ascophyllum nodosum (5 and 7 mL.L-1; 6-day intervals) on Paspalum vaginatum Salam՚ during prolonged irrigation intervals (2 and 6 day) and saline growing conditions (1 dS.m-1 and 49.7 dS.m-1) for 6 weeks in containers under greenhouse conditions. Control plants showed reduced turf quality, photochemical efficiency, root length and dry weight, total nonstructural carbohydrates and K and Ca compositions. Seaweed extracts increased turf quality, leaf photochemical efficiency, root length and dry weight, total non-structural carbohydrates, K, Ca and proline in treated plants during prolonged irrigation intervals as well as saline shock conditions. There were also increases in the antioxidant defensive mechanisms such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activities and non-enzymatic antioxidants as well as reduced lipid peroxidation. The application of SWE at 7 mL.L-1 showed higher performance in treated plants during prolonged irrigation intervals as well as saline conditions. Our findings imply that several mechanisms including drought tolerance, osmotic adjustment and antioxidant defense system may interact to enhance the performance of plants in the face of environmental stress following SWE treatments.
