Complete O α s 2 $$ \mathcal{O}\left({\alpha}_s^2\right) $$ corrections to the leptonic invariant mass spectrum in b → X c l ν ¯ l $$ b\to {X}_cl{\overline{\nu}}_l $$ decay by Mateusz Czaja, Mikołaj Misiak, Abdur Rehman

“…Abstract In the determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V cb | from inclusive semileptonic B-meson decays, moments of the leptonic invariant mass spectrum constitute valuable observables. To evaluate them with sufficient precision, perturbative O α s 2 $$ \mathcal{O}\left({\alpha}_s^2\right) $$ corrections to the analogous spectrum in the partonic b → X c l ν ¯ l $$ b\to {X}_cl{\overline{\nu}}_l $$ decay are necessary. …”

Nephrogenic Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuresis by D. Morin, J. Tenenbaum, B. Ranchin, T. Durroux

“…Mutations in the vasopressin V2 receptor gene are responsible for two human tubular disorders: X-linked congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, due to a loss of function of the mutant V2 receptor, and the nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis, due to a constitutive activation of the mutant V2 receptor. This latter recently described disease may be diagnosed from infancy to adulthood, as some carriers remain asymptomatic for many years. …”
