These notes provide an introduction to phase ordering in dry, scalar active matter. We first briefly review Model A and Model B, the long-standing continuum descriptions of ordering in systems with a non-conserved and conserved scalar order parameter. We then contrast different ways in which the field theories can be extended so that the phase ordering persists, but in systems that are active and do not reach thermodynamic equilibrium.

The lightest charmed scalar meson is known as the D_{0}^{*}(2300), which is one of the earliest new hadron resonances observed at modern B factories. We show here that the parameters assigned to the lightest scalar D meson are in conflict with the precise LHCb data of the decay B^{-}→D^{+}π^{-}π^{-}. On the contrary, these data can be well described by an unitarized chiral amplitude containing a much lighter charmed scalar meson, the D_{0}^{*}(2100).

Background: Multimodal MRI approach is based on a combination of MRI parameters sensitive to different tissue characteristics (eg, volume atrophy, iron deposition, and microstructural damage). The main objective of the present study was to use a multimodal MRI approach to identify brain differences that could discriminate between matched groups of patients with multiple system atrophy, Parkinson's disease, and healthy controls. We assessed the 2 different MSA variants, namely, MSA-P, with predominant parkinsonism, and MSA-C, with more prominent cerebellar symptoms.

The branching fraction ratio R(D^{*})≡B(B[over ¯]^{0}→D^{*+}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ})/B(B[over ¯]^{0}→D^{*+}μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}) is measured using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to 3.0 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The tau lepton is identified in the decay mode τ^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}ν_{τ}.

We present a determination of the pion-nucleon (πN) σ term σ_{πN} based on the Cheng-Dashen low-energy theorem (LET), taking advantage of the recent high-precision data from pionic atoms to pin down the πN scattering lengths as well as of constraints from analyticity, unitarity, and crossing symmetry in the form of Roy-Steiner equations to perform the extrapolation to the Cheng-Dashen point in a reliable manner. With isospin-violating corrections included both in the scattering lengths and the LET, we obtain σ_{πN}=(59.1±1.
