The Bfkl Pomeron: Can It Be Detected? Damtp 96/47

The BFKL pomeron is swamped by the soft pomeron, at least at t = 0. Figure 1 shows data for the pp and ¯ pp total cross-sections. The curves 1 corrrespond to the exchange of the ρ, ω, f, a trajectories, whose contribution falls with increasing energy approximately as 1/ √ s, and a rising soft-pomeron-exchange term which rises as s 0.08. There is a clear disagreement between the two Tevatron dat...

Life can be worth living in locked-in syndrome.

The locked-in syndrome (LIS) describes patients who are awake and conscious but severely deefferented leaving the patient in a state of almost complete immobility and loss of verbal communication. The etiology ranges from acute (e.g., brainstem stroke, which is the most frequent cause of LIS) to chronic causes (e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ALS). In this article we review and present new...

Ridesharing in Muscat: Can it be a Sustainable Solution for the Traffic Congestion?

We deal with developing a Decision Support System (DSS) to promote the ridesharing among both students and staff of a big organization. The DSS includes a set of functions that allow the management of the riders’ requests and drivers’ availability and embeds a novel two-phase optimization approach that helps in defining the optimal riders-drivers matching. The first phase consists o...

Prostate cancer is a major hormone-dependent tumor affecting men, and is often treated by hormone therapy at the primary stages. Despite its initial efficiency, the disease eventually acquires resistance, resulting in the recurrence of castration-resistant prostate cancer. Recent studies suggest that dysregulation of microRNA (miRNA) function is one of the mechanisms underlying hormone therapy ...
