We study the inter-relations that exist between the present experimental bounds on the Higgs mass, as obtained from radiative corrections to mW, and the effective parameters, αi and Λ. We find that the SM bounds on mH, arising from a precise determination of the W mass, can be substantially modified by the presence of dimension-six operators which appear in the linear realization of the effective Lagrangian approach. A Higgs mass as heavy as 700 GeV can be allowed for scales of new physics of the order of 1 TeV.

General properties of the τ leptons are reviewed using the recent measurements of production and decay of τ leptons. The improvements in the knowledge of the τ mass and the limits on ντ mass are reported. New improved measurements of the τ polarization and asymmetries performed at LEP and SLC prove a measurement of the axial and vector part of the neutral current at the per mil level. For the leptonic charged current, no deviation from the V–A Lorentz structure of the current is observed. Improvements on the lifetime and leptonic branching fractions allow a check of the charged current universality at the 0.5% level. New hadronic decay channels have been measured, mainly those involving kaons and η mesons. A precise determination of αs at the τ mass energy scale is performed. Finally, tests of possible new physics beyond the Standard Model are discussed.

Measurements of the angles and sides of the unitarity triangle and of the rates of rare B meson decays are crucial for the precise determination of Standard Model parameters and are sensitive to the presence of new physics particles in the loop diagrams. In this paper the recent measurements performed in this area by BABAR and Belle will be presented. The direct measurement of the angle α is for the first time as precise as the indirect determination. The precision of the |Vub| determination has improved significantly with respect to previous measurement. New limits on B → τν decays are presented, as well as updated measurements on b → s radiative transitions and a new observation of b → dγ transition made by Belle.

The physics program of LHCb concerns the study of CP violation in the B system, including more precise determination of the CKM matrix parameters and in particular the determination of φs The search for new physics which could manifest itself indirectly will be a high priority. The main advantages of LHCb over the B factories are the access to the Bs system and very large B production rates. In addition, LHCb is a dedicated B physics experiment with excellent vertexing and particle identification capabilities. It is currently setting up its detector in its allocated LHC interaction region and is foreseen to be ready for data taking in November 2007 for the pilot run.

The influence of radiative corrections is examined as regards the relation between the unitarity bound on the standard model Higgs boson mass and the scale of new physics, Λ, where perturbative unitarity is violated. For a fixed Λ, radiative corrections increase the upper bound on the Higgs mass. The shift is about 270 GeV at Λ=1 TeV and 80 (40) GeV at Λ=2 (5) TeV .

A precise method for the determination of the increment of the  basal area using the PressIer bore. Refering to  previous research showing that the basal area of the corsica pine could be  characterized by an ellips, we present in this paper a precise method for the  determination of the increment of the basal area. In this method we determine  the direction of the maximum diameter, we measure this diameter and we take a  core in one of the points of tangency of the caliper with the measured tree.  The determination of the diameter perpendicular to the maximum diameter  finishes the work wich is to be done in the forest. From the classical  measurements effectuated on the core and from the measured diameters we can  then determine the form (V) and the excentricity (e). Substituting these two  parameters in the formula 2 or 2', we can also calculate the error of a  radius measured on the core with respect to the representative radius, This  error with them allow us to correct the measured value of the minimum or the  maximum radius and we will be able to do a precise determination of the  increment.
