Q3642920 In high-energy physics, a pseudoscalar meson is a meson with total spin 0 and odd parity (usually noted as JP=0−). Compare to scalar meson.Pseudoscalar mesons are commonly seen in proton-proton scattering and proton-antiproton annihilation. The pion was first proposed to exist by Yukawa in the 1930s as the primary force carrying boson of the Yukawa Potential in nuclear interactions, and was later observed at nearly the same mass that he originally predicted for it. In the 1950s and 1960s, the pseudoscalar mesons began to proliferate, and were eventually organized into a multiplet according to Murray Gell-Mann's so-called "Eightfold Way".Gell-Mann further predicted the existence of a ninth resonance in the pseudoscalar multiplet, which he originally called X. Indeed, this particle was later found and is now known as the eta prime meson. The structure of the pseudoscalar meson multiplet, and also the ground state baryon multiplets, led Gell-Mann (and Zweig, independently) to create the well known quark model.Among all of the mesons known to exist, the pseudoscalars are perhaps the most well known in a sense. The masses of the pion, kaon, eta and eta prime particles are known with great precision. However, the decay properties of the pseudoscalar mesons, particularly of eta and eta prime, are somewhat contradictory to the mass hierarchy. While the eta prime meson is much more massive than the eta meson, the eta meson is thought to contain a larger component of strange and anti-strange quarks than the eta prime meson, which appears contradictory. The presence of an eta(1405) state also brings glueball mixing into the discussion. It is possible that the eta and eta prime mesons mix with the pseudoscalar glueball which should occur, in its pure state, somewhere above the scalar glueball in mass. This is one of a few ways in which the unexpectedly large eta prime mass of 957.78 MeV/c2 can be explained, relative to its model-predicted mass around 250 to 300 MeV/c2.
Q2354453 M-115 is a state trunkline highway in the northwestern part of the Lower Peninsula of the US state of Michigan. The highway takes a generally southeast-to-northwest direction between Frankfort on Lake Michigan and Clare in the central part of the state. The northwestern end is at M-22 next to Betsie Lake; the southeastern end in downtown Clare is at an intersection with Business US Highway 127 (Bus. US 127) and Bus. US 10. In between, the trunkline runs about 96 1⁄2 miles (155.3 km) through woodlands, including areas that are a part of either the Manistee National Forest or the Pere Marquette State Forest. The highway also passes agricultural areas, several lakes in the region and a state park near Cadillac.M-115 was first designated in the 1920s on the northwestern end near Frankfort. Additional, disconnected sections were designed as part of the trunkline in the 1930s near Cadillac, Farwell and Mesick. All but one of these gaps (Cadillac–Mesick) was eliminated by the end of that decade. The remaining segment was built in the 1950s to unite M-115 into a single highway. The last change came in 1989 when the highway was extended into Clare to its current southern terminus.

Q6565711 The Canadian Soccer League is an exclusively Canadian professional league for soccer clubs primarily located in the province of Ontario, and is the successor league to the Canadian National Soccer League (CNSL). It is a Non-FIFA league previously sanctioned by the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) and is now a member of the Soccer Federation of Canada (SFC). As of 2019, it consists of 16 teams all located in Ontario. Each year, the league uses the playoff format to determine the overall champion. The league is divided into two divisions, the First Division and Second Division. From 2002 till 2009 the league also operated an Eastern and Western Conference followed by an International and National Division.The competition was formed in 1998 under the name of the Canadian Professional Soccer League as a result of a merger between the Ontario Soccer Association and the CNSL. In order serve as the link between the provincial senior leagues to the top North American clubs, and provide opportunities for the development of youth players and referees. The intention of the league was to form regional divisions under the CPSL banner with each divisional champion competing in a playoff format for the championship. In 2009, it was transferred under the auspices of the Canadian Soccer Association with the CSL Commissioner being granted a seat in the CSA Professional Soccer Committee. In 2013, the CSA decided to implement the Rethink Management Group Report as known as the James Easton Report, which produced a controversial move as the CSA severed ties with the CSL, a member in good standing without due process. Their decisions were ruled unreasonable and coercive by the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada (SDRCC), which forced the CSA to reinstate sanctioning to the CSL until the next season. As of 2014, the league has operated as a private league for the first since the 1997 season in its predecessor league, and is a member of the Soccer Federation of Canada.Twelve clubs have won the CSL Championship: Toronto Croatia (6 times), York Region Shooters (3), St. Catharines Wolves (2), Serbian White Eagles (2), Brampton Hitmen, Brantford Galaxy, FC Vorkuta, Oakville Blue Devils, Ottawa Wizards, SC Waterloo Region, Toronto Olympians, and Trois-Rivieres Attak.

Q3905200 Pingtan (simplified Chinese: 评弹; traditional Chinese: 評彈; pinyin: píngtán), also known as Suzhou Pingtan, is a regional variety of the shuochang and a musical/oral performance art form popular in southern Jiangsu, northern Zhejiang, and Shanghai (the Jiangnan region). It originated in the city of Suzhou. It is a combination of "Pinghua" and "Tanci" which are two forms of Chinese narrative musical tradition. It dates back to Song dynasty. It is influenced by the Wu Culture including art, music and literature.Created by the work of the Pingtan artists, this art form enjoys great popularity in Jiangnan. The long history has also laid a solid foundation for its development. Its contents are rich, though the form is simple. "story telling, joke cracking, music playing and aria singing" are the performing techniques, while "reasoning, tastes, unexpectedness, interest and minuteness" are the artistic features. Although it originated in Suzhou, Pingtan flourished in Shanghai with the development of commerce and culture at the turn of the 19th century and the 20th century. After that, Pingtan became a new form of performance by innovating and carrying on the tradition.

Q608310 16 Aurigae is a triple star system located 232 light years away from the Sun in the northern constellation of Auriga. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.547, and is located about 2/3 of the way from Capella toward Beta Aurigae. It also lies in the midst of the Melotte 31 cluster, but is merely a line-of-sight interloper. The system has a relatively high proper motion, advancing across the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.166 arc seconds per annum, and is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −28 km/s.The primary component is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 1.19 years and an eccentricity of 0.1189. The visible member is an aging K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K2.5 IIIb CN-0.5; sometimes just given as K3 III. The notation of the former class indicates weak lines of CN in the spectrum. This star is an estimated five billion years old with 1.30 times the mass of the Sun. As a consequence of exhausting the hydrogen at its core, it has expanded to 18.8 times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 112 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,264 K.A third component is an magnitude 10.6 star at an angular separation of 4.2″. It shows a common proper motion with the primary and thus is a likely third member of the system.
