This Letter reports measurements of differential cross sections for the production of two Z bosons in association with jets in proton–proton collisions at s=8 and 13 TeV. The analysis is based on data samples collected at the LHC with the CMS detector, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 19.7 and 35.9fb −1 at 8 and 13 TeV, respectively.

Measurements of differential cross sections for inclusive very forward jet production in proton-lead collisions as a function of jet energy are presented. The data were collected with the CMS experiment at the LHC in the laboratory pseudorapidity range −6.6 < η < −5.2. Asymmetric beam energies of 4 TeV for protons and 1.58 TeV per nucl

A search for a heavy W0 resonance decaying to one B or T vector-like quark and a top or bottom quark, respectively, is presented. The search uses proton-proton collision data collected in 2016 with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 at √ s = 13 TeV. Both decay channels result in a final state wit

The cross sections for ϒ(1S), ϒ(2S), and ϒ(3S) production in lead–lead (PbPb) and proton–proton (pp) collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV have been measured using the CMS detector at the LHC. The nuclear modification factors, RAA, derived from the PbPb-to-pp ratio of yields for each state, are studied as functions of meson rapidity and transverse

Measurements of prompt ψ(2S) meson production cross sections in proton–lead (pPb) and proton–proton (pp) collisions at a nucleon–nucleon center-of-mass energy of √sNN = 5.02 TeV are reported. The results are based on pPb and pp data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 34.6 nb−1 and 28.0

Data incompleteness becomes a frequent phenomenon in a large number of contemporary database applications such as web autonomous databases, big data, and crowd-sourced databases. Processing skyline queries over incomplete databases impose a number of challenges that negatively influence processing the skyline queries. Most importantly, the skylines

Executive Summary The COVID-19 pandemic hit Malaysia amidst a period of political turmoil and uncertainty as political parties scrambled to form a new coalition government. Nonetheless, Malaysia fared relatively well, with swift policy responses that managed to flatten the curve of infections from overwhelming the healthcare system. However, in bal

Torch ginger or Etlingera elatior which belongs to the Zingiberaceae family is one of the most commonly known species of Etlingera. Torch ginger is popular in Southeast Asia where its inflorescences have various purposes in ornamental, medicinal and culinary. Due to its beautiful appearance, it is widely marketed as a promising ornamental plant. Fo

Etlingera elatior or torch ginger is a species under the Zingiberaceae family, primarily distributed in tropical forests and humid, shady places. It is a coarse herb often growing in large colonies, characterized by elongated leafy stems up to 5 m height arising from underground rhizomes. It is known as kantan in Malaysia and kecombrang in Indonesi

The aim of this study is to discuss the genesis of the phenomenon of Hallyu and the impacts of this phenomenon from various perspectives. The researchers also emphasize on the impact that the Korean Wave exerts on the Muslim youth of Malaysia from an Islamic perspectives. This research applies qualitative methodology, in which the researchers use n
