TL;DR: In this article, an algorithm is defined to identify single-jet objects that originate from the merging of the decay products of W bosons produced with high transverse momenta from jets initiated by single partons.
Abstract: In searches for new physics in the energy regime of the LHC, it is becoming increasingly important to distinguish single-jet objects that originate from the merging of the decay products of W bosons produced with high transverse momenta from jets initiated by single partons. Algorithms are defined to identify such W jets for different signals of interest, using techniques that are also applicable to other decays of bosons to hadrons that result in a single jet, such as those from highly boosted Z and Higgs bosons. The efficiency for tagging W jets is measured in data collected with the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns. The performance of W tagging in data is compared with predictions from several Monte Carlo simulators.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the p.h.n. nucleus is involved in the integration processing, and that the m.v. is involved either in the Integration processing or in the relaying of the output of the neural integrator to the oculomotoneurones.
Abstract: 1. This study was intended to test the candidature of the prepositus-vestibular nuclear complex for being the location of the oculomotor neural integrator (Robinson's integrator). 2. Microinjections of kainic acid (2 micrograms dissolved in 1 microliter) were made in awake cats. Injection sites were located either in the prepositus hypoglossi nucleus (p.h.), the medial vestibular nucleus (m.v.n.), the medial longitudinal fasciculus (m.l.f.) or in the magnocellular tegmental field of the reticular formation. 3. Theory predicts that a complete disabling of the neural integrator will cause (a) an exponential post-saccadic drift whose time constant will be 0.16 s in the dark (b) a phase lead of +93 deg as the vestibulo-ocular reflex is tested at 0.10 Hz in the dark and (c) a nearly complete abolition of the optokinetic nystagmus (o.k.n.). 4. About 1 h after a unilateral kainic acid injection in the p.h., we observed (a) a large bilateral post-saccadic drift (time constant sometimes as low as 0.2 s) (b) a large phase lead at 0.10 Hz (range: from +69 to +98 deg) (c) an abolition of the o.k.n. control injection of phosphate buffer in the p.h. did not produce any deficit. 5. A unilateral kainic acid injection in the m.v.n. induced a nystagmus followed by signs of bilateral failure of the neural integrator similar to those observed after kainic acid injection in the p.h. 6. Injection near the mid-line, between the two p.h. nuclei, induced a defect of the neural integrator less than that observed after kainic acid injection in either the p.h. or the m.v.n. Injection of kainic acid in the magnocellular tegmental field of the reticular formation did not produce any sign of failure of the neural integrator. No post-saccadic drift was observed. 7. We have concluded that (a) the p.h. nucleus is involved in the integration processing, and that (b) the m.v.n. is involved either in the integration processing or in the relaying of the output of the neural integrator to the oculomotoneurones.

Abstract: We describe the organocatalytic depolymerization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), using a commercially available guanidine catalyst, 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD). Postconsumer PET beverage bottles were used and processed with 1.0 mol % (0.7 wt %) of TBD and excess amount of ethylene glycol (EG) at 190 °C for 3.5 hours under atmospheric pressure to give bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) in 78% isolated yield. The catalyst efficiency was comparable to other metal acetate/alkoxide catalysts that are commonly used for depolymerization of PET. The BHET content in the glycolysis product was subject to the reagent loading. This catalyst influenced the rate of the depolymerization as well as the effective process temperature. We also demonstrated the recycling of the catalyst and the excess EG for more than 5 cycles. Computational and experimental studies showed that both TBD and EG activate PET through hydrogen bond formation/activation to facilitate this reaction. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
