We present a consistent and unified study of the spectrum of low-lying mesons, baryons, and glueballs using the MIT bag model, incorporating several improvements in the model. We correct for the center-of-mass motion, use a running coupling αs(R), include self-energy terms for quarks and gluons confined in a cavity, and get the bag constant from a model of the QCD vacuum. Our fit to the meson and
Potential applications of membrane technology for the beverage industry will be presented by two case studies. The focus of the first case study is on the clarification and concentration of fruit juice. A novel combination of a centrifuge with ultrafiltration for the clarification will be discussed together with the combination of an evaporator combined with reverse osmosis for the concentration.
Objective—To determine medium-term outcome after arterial switch operation for complete transposition in a population-based cohort.Design—Retrospective study of all 86 patients operated on at our institution from 1982 to 2000. Age at operation was 0-256 days (median 6 days); 28 (32%) had closure of a ventricular septal defect, 2 of whom had double outlet right ventricle. Additional surgery include
Background and aims: Gambling-related crimes are known to be associated with gambling disorder (GD). Due to a lack of consensus in the scientific community regarding the relevance of this diagnostic criterion, it was removed from the DSM-5. The primary aim of this study was to investigate through structural equation modeling (SEM) whether higher GD severity in treatment-seeking GD patients with a
Integration of reflective writing in the curriculum can support subject learning as well as the development of generic skills.
This is the report of the work for project Dagsljuskrav i miljöcertifierade byggnader" of the Swedish Energy Agency, project number: 39682-1. The study was focused on the energy use and daylight conditions in the multi-family building Greenhouse located in Malmö, Sweden. The aim of the study was first to analyze and develop innovative design solutions for multi-family dwellings with good daylighti
Noninvasive imaging methods are sought to objectively predict early response to therapy for high-grade glioma tumors. Quantitative metrics derived from diffusion-weighted imaging, such as apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), have previously shown promise when used in combination with voxel-based analysis reflecting regional changes. The functional diffusion mapping (fDM) metric is hypothesized to
A new quantum-chemical definition is given of the full atomic valence taking into account both the covalent and ionic parts of the chemical bonds formed by an atom in molecules and crystals. Full valence is close to formal ("classical") valence of an atom in a wide row of compounds. The theoretical consideration and the CNDO calculations of molecules and crystals are made to justify the validity o
Chyle and chylomicrons, obtained after feeding thoracic duct cannulated rats [3H]arachidonic (20:4) and [14C]linoleic acid (18:2) in cream, were injected i.v. into recipient animals. 7.5-15 min after injection, the 14C/3H ratio of the triacylglycerols remaining in plasma was about half of that in the injected chylomicrons, indicating that the chylomicron remnants formed retained relatively more [3
Measures for the reduction of electric energy loads for lighting have predominantly focussed on increasing the efficiency of lighting systems. This efficiency has now reached levels unthinkable a few decades ago. However, a focus on mere efficiency is physically limiting, and does not necessarily ensure that the anticipated energy savings actually materialise. This paper presents a literature surv
In the years 1941–1948, thousands of people escaped across the Baltic Sea fromeastern Europe to Sweden, primarily from the Baltic states but also from theUSSR. On the basis of newly declassified Soviet correspondence throughencrypted cables between the Soviet foreign ministry and the Soviet legationin Stockholm for the years 1944–1947, this article addresses the Soviet-Swedishdiplomatic negotiatio
Most current models of recognition memory fail to separately model item and person heterogeneity which makes it difficult to assess ability at the latent construct level and prevents the administration of adaptive tests. Here we propose to employ a General Condorcet Model for Recognition (GCMR) in order to estimate ability, response bias and item difficulty in dichotomous recognition memory tasks.
This article examines how the automation of jobs has shaped spatial patterns of intergenerational income mobility in the United States over the past three decades. Using data on the spread of industrial robots across 722 local labor markets, we find significantly lower rates of upward mobility in areas more exposed to automation. The erosion of mobility chances is rooted in childhood environments
We report on results obtained with the event-shape engineering technique applied to Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV. By selecting events in the same centrality interval, but with very different average flow, different initial-state conditions can be studied. We find the effect of the event-shape selection on the elliptic flow coefficient v2 to be almost independent of transverse momentum pT, whic
High resolution observations with ALMA have revealed that concentric rings and gaps are common features in protoplanetary disks. The favored mechanism for creating these substructures are planet-disk interactions, in which growing planets open gaps in the disk, and particles become trapped at the pressure maxima that form at the corresponding gap edges. Since the particle density in these pressure
