[1] We present a case study of a remarkable upstream O and N ion outflow event. We present observational evidence for spatially structured outflow of these Low Charge State Heavy Ions (LCSHIs) of magnetospheric origin along a small reconnected field line region within the framework of a magnetic cloud of an ICME. From the particles’ in situ 3D distribution function we conclude that in this case...

We develop a theory of macroscopic resonant tunneling of flux in a double-well potential in the presence of realistic flux noise with a significant low-frequency component. The rate of incoherent flux tunneling between the wells exhibits resonant peaks, the shape and position of which reflect qualitative features of the noise, and can thus serve as a diagnostic tool for studying the low-frequen...

BACKGROUND The effects of the dose of dialysis and the level of flux of the dialyzer membrane on mortality and morbidity among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis are uncertain. METHODS We undertook a randomized clinical trial in 1846 patients undergoing thrice-weekly dialysis, using a two-by-two factorial design to assign patients randomly to a standard or high dose of dialysis and ...

Introduction: In recent years the relationship between electromagnetic fields and coronary artery disease is attracted a considerable attention. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation is the initial step in the development of atherosclerosis. Paraoxonase1 (PON1) protects LDL and High density lipoprotein (HDL) against oxidative processes, thus preventing the formation of atherogenic (oxidized-L...

We describe flux tubes and their interactions in a low energy sigma model induced by SU(Nf ) → SO(Nf ) flavor symmetry breaking in SO(Nc) QCD. Unlike standard QCD, this model allows gauge confinement to manifest itself in the low energy theory, which has unscreened spinor color sources and global Z2 flux tubes. We construct the flux tubes and show how they mediate the confinement of spinor sour...

MedAustron is a synchrotron-based particle therapy centre located in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. It features three irradiation rooms for therapy, where proton beams with energies up to 252.7 MeV and carbon ions of 402.8 MeV/u are available cancer treatment. In addition the treatment rooms, unique beamline exclusively non-clinical research (NCR). This also commissioned 800 MeV, while ion correspon...
