Psychological science tends to treat subjective well-being and happiness synonymously. We start from the assumption that subjective well-being is more than being happy to ask the fundamental question: What is the ideal level of happiness? From a cross-cultural perspective, we propose that the idealization of attaining maximum levels of happiness may be especially characteristic of Western, educated, industrial,...
[Excerpt] The through-life management of our constantly ageing infrastructure is a basic requirement in order to ensure their structural safety and serviceability. Each structure experiences deterioration processes with time leading to a decrease of structural safety and serviceability. The design of new structures considers the expected deterioration for a defined period, the design service life. However, a fr...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-09-17; The observation of the standard model (SM) Higgs boson decay to a pair of bottom quarks is presented. The main contribution to this result is from processes in which Higgs bosons are produced in association with a W or Z boson (VH), and are searched for in final states including 0, 1, or 2 charged lepto...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2013-11-21; Searches for anomalous top quark-antiquark production are presented, based on pp collisions at √s=8 TeV. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1, were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The observed tt̄ invariant mass spectrum is found to be compatible with the standard...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2013-12-23; Rapidity distributions are presented for events containing either a Z boson or a photon with a single jet in proton-proton collisions produced at the CERN LHC. The data, collected with the CMS detector at √s=7 TeV, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb-1. The individual rapidity distributions...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2014-04-25; Science and Technology Facilities Council; Results are presented of a search for a natural supersymmetry scenario with gauge mediated symmetry breaking. It is assumed that only the supersymmetric partners of the top quark (the top squark) and the Higgs boson (Higgsino) are accessible. Events are examine...
