A study of the two body decays $B^\pm\rightarrow X_{c\bar c}K^\pm$, where X$_{c\bar c}$ refers to one charmonium state, is reported by BaBar collaboration using a data sample of 424 fb$^{-1}$. The absolute determination of branching fractions for these decays are signif...

International audience; Massive amounts of waste tires are generated globally posing disposal and recycling challenges. Waste tires were gasified in subcritical and supercritical water to study their degradation behavior during syngas production. The process parameters ...

Abstract The sustainable P management of grassland ecosystems require a better understanding of the effect of P fertilization on the growth of grassland swards and the relationship between shoot P and N concentrations with the overall goal of developing improved methods...

International audience; BACKGROUND:The impact of the location of colorectal cancer on patient outcomes has been reported in several settings. The objective of this study was to assess the prognostic impact of the location of the primary colon cancer among patients with ...

The remarkably safe anesthetics xenon (Xe) and, to lesser extent, nitrous oxide (N2O) possess neuroprotective properties in preclinical studies. To investigate the mechanisms of pharmacological action of these gases, which are still poorly known, we performed both cryst...

International audience; While the field of epigenetics is increasingly recognized to contribute to the emergence of phenotypes in mammalian research models across different developmental and generational timescales, the comparative biology of epigenetics in the large an...

International audience; Characterization of the genetic defects causing gonadotropic deficiency has made a major contribution to elucidation of the fundamental role of Kisspeptins and Neurokinin B in puberty onset and reproduction. The absence of puberty may also reveal...

International audience; Intensive agriculture is often criticized for negative impacts on environment and human health. This issue may be solved by a better management of organisms living in crop fields. Here, we review the benefits of earthworms for crops, and we prese...

International audience; In this article we propose a high performance computing toolbox implementing efficient statistical methods for the study of phylogenies. This toolbox, which implements logit models and LASSO-type penalties, gives a way to better understand, measu...
