This paper presents a direct measurement of the decay width of the top quark using
events in the lepton+jets final state. The data sample was collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in ...proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb
. The decay width of the top quark is measured using a template fit to distributions of kinematic observables associated with the hadronically and semileptonically decaying top quarks. The result,
for a top-quark mass of 172.5 GeV, is consistent with the prediction of the Standard Model.
Low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH) have shown to be at least as safe and efficient as non-fractionated heparin in the treatment of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). Moreover, no serial laboratory ...controls are required. Therefore, LMWH allow the patients to be treated at home. From July 1995 to July 1996, 30 consecutive patients with DVT were enrolled in a prospective study and treated with nadroparin. Ambulatory treatment was feasible in 24 patients (9 patients did not require admission and 15 patients were discharged in less than 6 days). The main causes for admission were the inability to obtain a diagnosis, the severity of symptoms in the involved limb, and the presence of associated disease. None of the 24 patients to whom the possibility of home therapy was offered desired to remain at hospital. The ambulatory care of these patients increased the burden on primary care teams. There was no case of clinical recurrent thromboembolism nor a major hemorrhagic complication. Ambulatory treatment of DVT with nadroparin seems to be feasible, efficient and safe. Nevertheless, before using this therapeutic alternative a series of factors should be considered, which include the severity of clinical presentation, the embolic and hemorrhagic risks, and the presence of associated diseases.
In order to stimulate new engagement and trigger some concrete studies in areas where further work would be beneficial towards fully understanding the physics potential of an \(e^+e^-\) Higgs / Top / ...Electroweak factory, we propose to define a set of focus topics. The general reasoning and the proposed topics are described in this document.
