Boosted objects and jet substructure at the LHC. Report of BOOST2012, held at IFIC Valencia, 23rd-27th of July 2012

This report of the BOOST2012 workshop presents the results of four working groups that studied key aspects of jet substructure. We discuss the potential of first-principle QCD calculations to yield a precise description of the substructure of jets and study the accuracy of state-of-the-art Monte Carlo tools. Limitations of the experiments' ability to resolve substructure are evaluated, with a focus on the impact of additional (pile-up) proton proton collisions on jet substructure performance in future LHC operating scenarios. A final section summarizes the lessons learnt from jet substructure analyses in searches for new physics in the production of boosted top quarks.

Yuca ensilada como fuente de energía para cerdos en crecimiento

Se condujeron dos experimentos para determinar el comportamiento de cerdos en crecimiento, comparando la dieta de maíz-soya con otra de raíz de yuca ensilada con agua o vinaza. Se utilizaron 16 cerdos de cruce comercial alojados en corrales individuales, mediante clasificación simple y dos tratamientos con ocho repeticiones/ tratamiento. En el segundo trabajo se utilizaron 16 animales en similares condiciones, con vinaza para ensilar. No fueron encontradas diferencias significativas para la ganancia diaria (g) y conversión alimentaria (kg kg-1). Se concluye que la raíz de yuca ensilada con agua y yogurt o vinaza, puede sustituir totalmente la energía del maíz para cerdos en crecimiento.

Estimation of transpiration of the 'Valencia' orange young plant using thermal dissipation probe method

Most studies on measures of transpiration of plants, especially woody fruit, relies on methods of heat supply in the trunk. This study aimed to calibrate the Thermal Dissipation Probe Method (TDP) to estimate the transpiration, study the effects of natural thermal gradients and determine the relation between outside diameter and area of xylem in 'Valencia' orange young plants. TDP were installed in 40 orange plants of 15 months old, planted in boxes of 500 L, in a greenhouse. It was tested the correction of the natural thermal differences (DTN) for the estimation based on two unheated probes. The area of the conductive section was related to the outside diameter of the stem by means of polynomial regression. The equation for estimation of sap flow was calibrated having as standard lysimeter measures of a representative plant. The angular coefficient of the equation for estimating sap flow was adjusted by minimizing the absolute deviation between the sap flow and daily transpiration measured by lysimeter. Based on these results, it was concluded that the method of TDP, adjusting the original calibration and correction of the DTN, was effective in transpiration assessment.
