In N = 2, 4 superconformal field theories in four space-time dimensions, the quantum corrections with four derivatives are believed to be severely constrained by non-renormalization theorems. The strongest of these is the conjecture formulated by Dine and Seiberg in hep-th/9705057 that such terms are generated only at one loop. In this note, using the background field formulation in N = 1 super...

1. The specificity of rat prostatic spermidine synthase and spermine synthase with respect to the amine acceptor of the propylamine group was studied. 2. Spermidine synthase could use cadaverine (1,5-diaminopentane) instead of putrescine, but the Km for cadaverine was much greater and the rate with 1mM-cadaverine was only 10% of that with putrescine. 1,3-Diaminopropane was even less active (2% ...

Purpose To analyze the "in vitro" aberrometric pattern of a refractive IOL and two extended depth of focus IOLs. Methods A special optical bench with a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SH) was designed for the measurement. Three presbyopia correction IOLs were analyzed: Mini WELL (MW), TECNIS Symfony ZXR00 (SYM), and Lentis Mplus X LS-313 MF30 (MP). Three different pupil sizes were used for t...

Les plans de symŽtrie sont souvent identifiŽs par lÕexistence dÕune polarisation pure perpendiculaire ˆ ces plans. Cependant, ce type de polarisation peut appara”tre sans que le plan soit un plan de symŽtrie. Les plans qui prŽsentent une polarisation pure suivant leurs normales sont appelŽs Ç plans de dŽcouplage È, car le systme de trois Žquations linŽaires couplŽes par les cosinus directeurs ...

By a 2-group we mean a groupoid equipped with a weakened group structure. It is called split when it is equivalent to the semidirect product of a discrete 2-group and a oneobject 2-group. By a permutation 2-group we mean the 2-group Sym(G) of self-equivalences of a groupoid G and natural isomorphisms between them, with the product given by composition of self-equivalences. These generalize the ...

Based on the Hugenholtz–Van Hove theorem, six basic quantities of EoS in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter are expressed terms nucleon kinetic energy t(k), symmetric and parts single-nucleon potentials $$U_0(\rho ,k)$$ $$U_{\text {sym},i}(\rho . The include quadratic symmetry $$E_{\text {sym,2}}(\rho )$$ , quartic {sym,4}}(\rho their corresponding density slopes $$L_2(\rho $$L_4(\rho incompress...

STUDY OBJECTIVE s: To develop and validate a patient-based outcome measure to evaluate symptoms in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). DESIGN A psychometric study within an international, prospective, randomized, double-blind study. The CAP-symptom questionnaire (CAP-Sym) is a new, 18-item, patient-reported outcome measure that evaluates the bothersomeness of CAP-related symptom...

Two studies were performed to determine whether the attenuation of baroreflex control of heart rate during late pregnancy in conscious rabbits is due to changes in parasympathetic (Para) or sympathetic (Sym) control of the heart. In the first, baroreflex relationships between arterial pressure and heart rate were generated before and after treatment with propranolol (Pro) to block Sym or with m...

The pa tte rn of innervation in the frog’s heart shown by silver staining has been compared w ith the results of histochemical methods. The muscle innervation is a series of dense n e t­ works of nerve bundles. These have been divided into four groups according to their size and distribution. The silver m ethods show fewer fibres than the histochemical methods bu t all the methods show the same...
