Strangeness production in fixed-target collisions at LHCb by Lucarelli Chiara

“…Studies of strangeness production in high-energy fixed-target collisions provide information on hadronization and serve as important inputs to models of particle production in cosmic rays. Thanks to its forward geometry and the possibility to inject gas into the beam pipe, the LHCb detector with the SMOG system is ideally suited to study strangeness production in fixed-target collisions at the LHC. …”

Influenza A (H1N1) Pneumonia. Three cases in children. by Ariel Efrén Uriarte Méndez, Jesús Vila Díaz, Andrés Prieto Apesteguía, Dunia Chavez Amaro, Jorge Luis Capote, Orlando Leyro Salgado

“…It is made a report of three cases of pneumonia due to Influenza A (H1N1) with satisfactory evolution, assisted in the Intensive Care Unit of the Cienfuegos’s Pediatric Hospital Paquito González Cueto, and whose diagnosis were confirmed for the test Reaction in Chain of the Reverse "Polimerase-Transcriptase" (RCP-TR) in nasopharyngeal samples. The X-rays and the laboratory exams are shown. The films reveal alveolar multifocal infiltrates, different from the interstitial pattern that commonly appears in viral pneumonias. …”
