The eight-toothed spruce bark-beetle Ips typographus is the most damaging insect pest of Norway spruce in Europe, and it poses a serious risk to spruce in other countries where it is not currently present but might be introduced.The beetle is not native to the UK and before 2018 it had not been found established anywhere within the country.In Novem
Invisible Higgs decay from dark matter freeze-in at stronger coupling
Abstract We study the Higgs boson decay into dark matter (DM) in the framework of freeze-in at stronger coupling.Even though the Higgs-DM coupling is significant, up to order one, DM does not thermalize due to the Boltzmann suppression of its production at low temperatures.We find that this mechanism leads to observable Higgs decay into invisible f
Improving Emergency Department Patient Experience Through Implementation of an Informational Pamphlet
Objective: Patient satisfaction is emerging as a new health-care metric.We hypothesized that an emergency department (ED) informational pamphlet would significantly improve patient understanding of ED operations and ultimately improve patient satisfaction.Methods: We performed a prospective study of patients presenting to a single tertiary care cen
