Abazov, V. M.; Abbott, B.; Abolins, M.; Acharya, B. S.; Adams, D. L.; Adams, M.; Adams, T.; Agelou, M.; Agram, J. L.; Ahmed, S. N.; Ahn, S. H.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:57:01Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2005-02-04; We report the results of a search for supersymmetry (SUSY) with gauge-mediated breaking in the missing transverse energy distribution of inclusive diphoton events using 263 pb-1 of data collected by the DO experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in 2002-2004. No excess is observed above the backgro...
Measurement of the Bs0 lifetime in the exclusive decay channel Bs0 → J/ψφ
Abazov, V. M.; Abbott, B.; Abolins, M.; Acharya, B. S.; Adams, D. L.; Adams, M.; Adams, T.; Agelou, M.; Agram, J. L.; Ahmed, S. N.; Ahn, S. H.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:57:30Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2005-02-04; Using the exclusive decay Bs0 → J/ψ (μ+μ-)φ (K+K-), we report the most precise single measurement of the Bs0 lifetime. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately 220 pb-1 collected with the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in 2002-2004. We reconstruct 337 signa...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2005-06-10; Correlations in the azimuthal angle between the two largest transverse momentum jets have been measured using the D0 detector in pp̄ collisions at a center-of-mass energy s=1.96TeV. The analysis is based on an inclusive dijet event sample in the central rapidity region corresponding to an integrated lum...
Observation and properties of the X(3872) decaying to J/ψπ+π- in pp̄ collisions...
Abazov, V. M.; Abbott, B.; Abolins, M.; Acharya, B. S.; Adams, D. L.; Adams, M.; Adams, T.; Agelou, M.; Agram, J. L.; Ahmed, S. N.; Ahn, S. H.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T00:12:35Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2004-10-15; The discovery of a new particle, X(3872) by the Belle collaboration in the decay mode B±→ XK± (X→ J/ψπ+π - was discussed. It was found that the mass of the X(3872) was measured to be 3872.0 ± 0.6(stat) ± 0.5 (syst) MeV/C2. The X(3872) particle were observed in approximately 230 pb-1 of data with a signi...
Search for Doubly Charged Higgs Boson Pair Production in the Decay to μ+μ+μ-μin...
Abazov, V. M.; Abbott, B.; Abolins, M.; Acharya, B. S.; Adams, D. L.; Adams, M.; Adams, T.; Agelou, M.; Agram, J. L.; Ahmed, S. N.; Ahn, S. H.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T00:13:01Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2004-10-01; The pair production of doubly charged Higgs bosons in the decay to μ+ μ+ μ- μ- in pp̄ Collisions was investigated. It was observed that the total signal efficiency for the event selection was (47.5±2.5)% and does not depend on the mass of the doubly charged Higgs boson in the studied mass range. Data an...
SMAD pathway mediation of BDNF and TGFβ2 regulation of proliferation and differ...
Lu, J.; Wu, Y.; Sousa, Nuno; Almeida, O. F. X.Hippocampal granule cells self-renew throughout life, whereas their cerebellar counterparts become post-mitotic during early postnatal development, suggesting that locally acting, tissue-specific factors may regulate the proliferative potential of each cell type. Confirming this, we show that conditioned medium from hippocampal cells (CMHippocampus) stimulates proliferation in cerebellar cultures and, vice vers...
Direct targeting of hippocampal neurons for apoptosis by glucocorticoids is rev...
Crochemore, C.; Lu, J.; Wu, Y.; Liposits, Zs.; Sousa, Nuno; Holsboer, F.; Almeida, O. F. X.An important question arising from previous observations in vivo is whether glucocorticoids can directly influence neuronal survival in the hippocampus. To this end, a primary postnatal hippocampal culture system containing mature neurons and expressing both glucocorticoid (GR) and mineralocorticoid (MR) receptors was developed. Results show that the GR agonist dexamethasone (DEX) targets neurons (microtubule-a...
Cellular and molecular analysis of stress-induced neurodegeneration – methodolo...
Lu, J.; Némethy, Z.; Pego, J. M.; Cerqueira, João José; Sousa, Nuno; Almeida, O. F. X.Evidence that chronic hypercorticalism induces a broad spectrum of deleterious cellular effects in the brain has accumulated over the last two decades. These principal effects of hypercorticalism include neuronal atrophy, neuronal death and glial responses. Importantly, these changes, which may occur interdependently and/or concomi- tantly, lead to neurodegeneration. While there has been a significant expansion...
Ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptor mediation of glucocorticoid-indu...
Lu, J.; Goula, D.; Sousa, Nuno; Almeida, O. F. X.Glutamate receptors have been proposed to mediate the apoptotic actions of glucocorticoids in hippocampal cells. To further analyze the role of glutamate receptors in this process, we pretreated primary hippocampal cells from neonatal (postnatal day 4) rats with antagonists of ionotropic glutamate receptor (iGluR) and metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) antagonists before exposure to the specific glucocorti...
