Strangeness Enhancement In Cu-cu And Au-au Collisions At √s Nn=200gev

Abstract: We report new STAR measurements of midrapidity yields for the Lambda, (Lambda) over bar, K-S(0), Xi(-), (Xi) over bar (+), Omega(-), (Omega) over bar (+) particles in Cu + Cu collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV, and midrapidity yields for the Lambda, (Lambda) over bar, K-S(0) particles in Au + Au at root s(NN) = 200 GeV We show that, at a given number of participating nucleons, the production of strange hadrons is higher in Cu + Cu collisions than in Au + Au collisions at the same center-of-mass energy We find that aspects of the enhancement factors for all particles can be described by a parametrization based on the fraction of participants that undergo multiple collisions

High prevalence of multiple coronary risk factors in Punjabi Bhatia community: Jaipur Heart Watch-3.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Studies among emigrant Indian populations have shown a high prevalence of obesity and many coronary risk factors in Bhatia community. To determine the prevalence of risk factors in this community within India we performed an epidemiological study. METHODS AND RESULTS An ethnic-group sample survey to determine prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors was performed using community registers for enrollment. Methodology used was similar to Jaipur Heart Watch studies performed in 1995 and 2002. We invited 600 randomly selected subjects listed in Punjabi Bhatia community registers and could examine 458 (76.7%) persons (men 226, women 232). Evaluation for coronary risk factors, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, electrocardiogram, fasting blood glucose and serum lipids was performed using standard definitions. Mean age was 43.2 +/- 14.6 years in men and 44.7 +/- 15.3 years in women. In both men and women there was a high prevalence of family history of coronary heart disease in 45 (19.9%) and 50 (21.6%), family history of diabetes in 96 (42.5%) and 77 (33.2%), sedentary habits in 82 (36.3%) and 73 (31.5%), smoking or tobacco use in 59 (26.1%) and 4 (1.7%), overweight or obesity (body mass index > or = 25 kg/m2) in 123 (54.0%) and 161 (69.4%), severe obesity (body mass index >30 kg/m2) in 47 (20.8%) and 75 (32.3%), truncal obesity (waist-hip ratio: men >0.9, women >0.8) in 175 (77.4%) and 186 (80.2%), increased waist (waist size: men >102 cm, women >88 cm) in 78 (34.5%) and 129 (55.6%), hypertension (blood pressure > or = 140/90 mmHg) in 116 (51.3%) and 120 (51.3%), diabetes in 40 (17.7%) and 33 (14.2%), hypercholesterolemia (total cholesterol > or = 200 mg/dl) in 75 (33.2%) and 67 (28.9%), high triglycerides in 55 (24.3%) and 34 (14.7%), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in 169 (74.8%) and 155 (66.8%), and the metabolic syndrome (defined by American National Cholesterol Education Program) in 84 (36.2%) and 111 (47.8%) respectively. Body mass index correlated significantly with (age-adjusted r2 value--men, women) waist diameter (0.52, 0.12), waist-hip ratio (0.21, 0.10), truncal obesity (0.54, 0.60), systolic blood pressure (0.19, 0.16), diastolic blood pressure (0.12, 0.16), hypertension (0.19, 0.31), and metabolic syndrome (0.28, 0.44) (p<0.05). There was a significant linear relationship of body mass index with the prevalence of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes (women), and the metabolic syndrome (chi2 for trend p<0.05). Prevalence of these risk factors was the lowest in subjects with body mass index <20 kg/m2. A multivariate ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed that obesity was independently associated with multiple risk factors characterized by metabolic syndrome after adjustment for age, hypertension, and diabetes in both men (odds ratio 2.45, 95% confidence intervals 1.69, 3.57) as well as in women (odds ratio 2.93, 95% confidence intervals 1.86, 4.61) (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS There is a high prevalence of obesity, abdominal obesity, hypertension, diabetes, lipid abnormalities and the metabolic syndrome in this community that is significantly greater than reported studies in Jaipur and urban populations elsewhere in India. Obesity correlates strongly with multiple coronary risk factors of which it is an important determinant.

Measurements of Phi Meson Production in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy ION Collider (RHIC)

Abstract: We present results for the measurement of phi meson production via its charged kaon decay channel phi -> K(+) K(-) Au + Au collisions at root S(NN) = 62.4, 130, and 200 GeV, and in p + p and d + Au collisions at v root S(NN) = 200 GeV from the STAR experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The midrapidity (vertical bar y vertical bar < 0.5) phi meson transverse momentum (p(T)) spectra in central Au + Au collisions are found to be well described by a single exponential distribution. On the other hand, the p(T) spectra from p + p, d + Au, and peripheral Au + Au collisions show power-law tails at intermediate and high p(T) and are described better by Levy distributions. The constant phi/K(-) yield ratio vs beam species, collision centrality, and colliding energy is in contradiction with expectations from models having kaon coalescence as the dominant mechanism for phi production at RHIC. The Omega/phi yield ratio as a function of p(T) is consistent with a model based on the recombination of thermal s quarks up to p(T) similar to 4 GeV/c, but disagrees at higher transverse momenta. The measured nuclear modification factor, R(dAu), for the phi meson increases above unity at intermediate p(T), similar to that for pions and protons, while R(AA) is suppressed due to the energy loss effect in central Au + Au collisions. Number of constituent quark scaling of both R(cp) and nu(2) for the phi meson with respect to other hadrons in Au + Au collisions at root S(NN) = 200 GeV at intermediate pT is observed. These observations support quark coalescence as being the dominant mechanism of hadronization in the intermediate p(T) region at RHIC.

On the analysis of fractional diabetes model with exponential law

Abstract: In this work, we study the diabetes model and its complications with the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative. A deterministic mathematical model pertaining to the fractional derivative of the diabetes mellitus is discussed. The analytical solution of the diabetes model is derived by exerting the homotopy analysis method, the Laplace transform and the Pade approximation. Moreover, existence and uniqueness of the solution are examined by making use of fixed point theory and the Picard–Lindelof approach. Ultimately, for illustrating the obtained results some numerical simulations are performed.
