Long-Range Two-Particle Correlations Of Strange Hadrons With Charged Particles In Ppb And Pbpb Collisions At Lhc Energies, Cms Collaboration, Cern, Switzerland, Samantha Hewamanage, Stephan Linn, Pete E. Markowitz, German Martinez, Jorge Luis Rodriguez Jan 2015

Long-Range Two-Particle Correlations Of Strange Hadrons With Charged Particles In Ppb And Pbpb Collisions At Lhc Energies, Cms Collaboration, Cern, Switzerland, Samantha Hewamanage, Stephan Linn, Pete E. Markowitz, German Martinez, Jorge Luis Rodriguez

Department of Physics

Measurements of two-particle angular correlations between an identified strange hadron (K0Sor Λ/Λ) and a charged particle, emitted in pPb collisions, are presented over a wide range in pseudorapidity and full azimuth. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 35nb−1, were collected at a nucleon–nucleon center-of-mass energy (√sNN) of 5.02TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. The results are compared to semi-peripheral PbPb collision data at √sNN=2.76TeV, covering similar charged-particle multiplicities in the events. The observed azimuthal correlations at large relative pseudorapidity are used to extract the second-order (v2) and third-order (v3) anisotropy harmonics of K0Sand Λ/Λparticles. These …

Changes Of Soil Biogeochemistry Under Native And Exotic Plants Species, Yujie Hua Jan 2015

Changes Of Soil Biogeochemistry Under Native And Exotic Plants Species, Yujie Hua

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Invasive plant species are major threats to the biodiversity and ecosystem stability. The purpose of this study is to understand the impacts of invasive plants on soil nutrient cycling and ecological functions. Soil samples were collected from rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere of both native and exotic plants from three genera, Lantana, Ficus and Schinus, at Tree Tops Park in South Florida, USA. Experimental results showed that the cultivable bacterial population in the soil under Brazilian pepper (invasive Schinus) was approximately ten times greater than all other plants. Also, Brazilian pepper lived under conditions of significantly lower available phosphorus …

Theoretical Investigation Of Intra- And Inter-Cellular Spatiotemporal Calcium Patterns In Microcirculation, Jaimit B. Parikh Jan 2015

Theoretical Investigation Of Intra- And Inter-Cellular Spatiotemporal Calcium Patterns In Microcirculation, Jaimit B. Parikh

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Microcirculatory vessels are lined by endothelial cells (ECs) which are surrounded by a single or multiple layer of smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Spontaneous and agonist induced spatiotemporal calcium (Ca2+) events are generated in ECs and SMCs, and regulated by complex bi-directional signaling between the two layers which ultimately determines the vessel tone. The contractile state of microcirculatory vessels is an important factor in the determination of vascular resistance, blood flow and blood pressure. This dissertation presents theoretical insights into some of the important and currently unresolved phenomena in microvascular tone regulation. Compartmental and continuum models of isolated EC …

Sensors Best Paper Award 2015, Vittorio M.N. Passaro, W. Rudolf Seitz, Assefa M. Melesse, Alexander Star, Leonhard Reindl Jan 2015

Sensors Best Paper Award 2015, Vittorio M.N. Passaro, W. Rudolf Seitz, Assefa M. Melesse, Alexander Star, Leonhard Reindl

Department of Earth and Environment

Since 2011, an annual award system was instituted to recognize outstanding Sensors papers that are related to sensing technologies and applications and meet the aims, scope and high standards of this journal [1–4]. This year, the winners were chosen by the Section Editor-in-Chiefs of Sensors from among all the papers published in 2011 to track citations. Reviews and full research articles were considered separately. We gladly announce that the following eight papers were awarded the Sensors Best Paper Award in 2015.

Crowdsourcing King Tide Flooding, Susan Jacobson, Juliet Pinto, Kate Macmillin, Tiffany Troxler-Gann Jan 2015

Crowdsourcing King Tide Flooding, Susan Jacobson, Juliet Pinto, Kate Macmillin, Tiffany Troxler-Gann

Sea Level Rise Collection

King Tides are the highest high tides in the year, usually peaking in the Spring and Fall. In South Florida, King Tides contribute to flooding along the coast and in other low-lying areas when the storm water system becomes overwhelmed with sea water. The water comes up through the sewer system, flooding streets and other areas. The tidal flood water can bring brackish water through storm drains inland.
