An embedding technique is presented to estimate standard model ττ backgrounds from data with minimal simulation input. In the data, the muons are removed from reconstructed µµ events and replaced with simulated tau leptons with the same kinematic properties. In this way, a set of hybrid events is obtained that does not rely on simulation except

A search for the pair production of heavy fermionic partners of the top quark with charge 5/3 (X5/3 ) is performed in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The data sample analyzed corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 . The X5/3 quark is assumed always to decay into a

This study examines the impact of hedging on firm value of Shariah compliant firms (SCFs) in a –non-linear framework. Design/methodology/approach This study employs the system-GMM for dynamic panel data to examine the influence of derivatives usage on firm value (Tobin’s Q, ROA and ROE). The sample comprised of 59 non-financial SCFs engaged in

The food waste composting program reflect the circular economic practice at the Institution of higher Education by using IIUM as a case study. An action research of inter and trans-disciplinary of sustainability science covers the action research by Food waste composting groups which consist of practitioner and researcher. This effort supported by

Black seed or black cumin comes from Nigella sativa (Family Ranunculaceae), a plant that grows in Eastern Europe, Western Asia, and the Middle East. It has been widely used as herbal medicine for over 2000 century. The advantages of Nigella sativa as traditional medical are not only recorded in the old manuscripts but also mentioned by the Prophet

This paper discusses the two-sidedness of modernity and its architectural evolution. The paper concludes that modernity was exclusively a Western concept exported to the rest of the world.
