OBJECTIVES The study objective was to identify the types, frequency, and risk factors for complications after third molar (M3) extractions. STUDY DESIGN This retrospective cohort study consisted of patients who had 1 or more M3s removed between 1996 and 2001. Risk factors were grouped into demographic, general health, anatomic, and operative. Outcome variables were operative or inflammatory c...

We present π − Ξ correlation analysis in Au-Au collisions at sNN = 200 GeV and √ sNN = 62.4 GeV , performed using the STAR detector at RHIC. A Ξ (1530) resonance signal is observed for the first time in Au-Au collisions. Experimental data are compared with theoretical predictions. The strength of the Ξ peak is reproduced in the correlation function assuming that π and Ξ emerge from a system in ...

A search for narrow baryonic resonances produced in deep inelastic scattering and decaying to K s p (K s p̄) or Ξ−π− (Ξπ and their antiparticles) is carried out with the H1 detector at HERA. No signal is observed for a new baryonic state. Upper limits on σ(ep → eΘX) × BR(Θ → Kp) and on the ratio of the production rates of hypothetical baryonic states relative to the Ξ(1530) baryonic state are ob...

The tropical storm, floodwater, and the floodplainsediment layer of a 100-year recurrence flood are examined to better understand characteristics of large monsoon floods on medium-sized rivers in northern Thailand. Storms producing large floods in northern Thailand occur early or late in the summer rainy season (May–October). These storms are associated with tropical depressions evolving from t...

ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS 13 CO(1–0) and 12 CO(2–1) in the center of the barred galaxy NGC 1530 Abstract. We present 13 CO(1–0) and 12 CO(2–1) aperture synthesis maps of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1530. The angular resolutions are respectively 3 ′′ .1 and 1 ′′ .6. Both transitions show features similar to the 12 CO(1–0) map, with a nuclear feature (a ring or unresolved spiral arms) surrounde...

An analytical relationship between the statistical significance of an observed signal and the signal width in case of a large background was obtained. It can help to explain why high-energy experiments may have different conclusions on the existence of new particles. We illustrate our approach using the experimental data on searches for the Θ(1530) pentaquark state. The obtained relationship is...

A nanohybrid containing 2 mol% La3+ doped MnO2 and carbon nanotubes produced hydrothermally exhibits a specific capacitance of ?1530 F g?1 at 1 92% capacity retention after 5000 cycles showing its potential as electrode for supercapacitors.

It is now almost twenty-five years since the first Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) was demonstrated. Currently, the EDFA is one of the most important elements widely used in different kinds of fiber-optic communication systems. However, driven by a constantly increasing demand, the network traffic, growing exponentially over decades, will lead to the overload of these systems ("capacity cru...
