By evolution of fermion mass matrices of the Fritzsch and the Georgi-Jarlskog forms from the supersymmetric grand unified scale, DHR obtained predictions for the quark masses and mixings. Using Monte Carlo methods we test these predictions against the latest determinations of the mixings, the CP-violating parameter ǫ K and the B 0 d-¯ B 0 d mixing parameter r d. The acceptable solutions closely...

BACKGROUND Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is caused by mutations in genes encoding nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase subunits. CASE REPORT A boy was diagnosed as having juvenile sarcoidosis because he presented with cervical and pulmonary lymphadenopathy with epitheloid cells and granuloma formation and high angiotensin converting enzyme. Later, a liver abscess was diag...

The Dripping Handrail Model (DHR) is a discrete dynamical system used to model a binary star system in which matter accretes off of one star onto the other. With this model, we study the behavior of the matter as it collects in a ring around the star, called an accretion disc, builds up, and eventually drips onto the surface of the star. Considering the accretion disc as both a one dimensional ...

Domestic Violence Fatality Reviews/Domestic Homicide Reviews (DVFRs/DHRs) are multi-agency reviews aimed at reducing domestic homicides. This study systematically research that examines DVFR/DHR recommendations, impact of these recommendations and proposals for improving processes. A narrative synthesis was adopted due to the diversity 11 studies reviewed. Themes identified from included: train...

Isolated copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) or manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) together with hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) caused rapid breakdown of nitric oxide (NO) and production of peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) indicated by the oxidation of dihydrorhodamine-1,2,3 (DHR) to rhodamine-1,2,3. The breakdown of NO by this reaction was inhibited by cyanide (CN(-)) or by diethyldithiocar...

We view DHR superselection sectors with finite statistics as Quantum Field Theory analogs of elliptic operators where KMS functionals play the role of the trace composed with the heat kernel regularization. We extend our local holomorphic dimension formula and prove an analogue of the index theorem in the Quantum Field Theory context. The analytic index is the Jones index, more precisely the mi...

Leukocytosis in tobacco smokers has been well recognized; however, the exact cause has not been elucidated. To test the hypothesis that tobacco nicotine stimulates neutrophils in the respiratory tract to produce IL-8, which causes neutrophilia in vivo, we examined whether nicotine induces neutrophil-IL-8 production in vitro; the causative role of NFB in its production, in association with the p...

Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by severe neuronal loss in the cortex and striatum that leads to motor and behavioral deficits. Excitotoxicity is thought to be involved in HD and several studies have indicated that NMDA receptor (NMDAR) overactivation can play a role in the selective neuronal loss found in HD. Interestingly, a small subset of striatal ne...
