periodontitis (pd) is known to be one of most prevalent worldwide chronic inflammatory diseases. there are several treatments including antibiotics for pd; however, since drug resistance is an increasing problem, new drugs particularly derived from plants with fewer side effects are required. the effects of trans-anethole on il-1 β and tnf-α level in a rat model of pd were investigated and comp...

conclusions given the importance of physical activity, and given that most women are at the pre-contemplation stage of the trans theoretical model, it seems necessary to devise educational interventional plans for the promotion of physical activities among women referred to health centers. patients and methods this was a cross-sectional study with 310 randomly selected females referred to healt...

The latest gμ−2 measurement by Brookhaven confirms the earlier measurement with twice the precision. However, interpretation of the result requires specific assumptions regarding the errors in the hadronic light by light (LbL) correction and in the hadronic vacuum polarization correction. Under the assumption that the analysis on LbL correction of Knecht and Nyffeler and the revised analysis of...

We comment on several aspects of Skilling's paper presented at Valencia 8. In particular we prove the convergence in probability of the algorithm for a wide class of situations, comment on its potential utility and discuss aspects where further work is needed to assess the approach.

Motivated by the forthcoming data from the E950 experiment at BNL for small angle polarized proton-carbon scattering we revisit the problem of Coulomb phase. The usually used approximation of the momentum transfer squared (q 2) small compared to the inverse elastic slope is not justified within the kinematics of the E950 experiment. We go beyond this approximation and derive a new rather simple...

This section introduces some of the basic concepts of radioactivity. It is designed to provide the general reader with an overall understanding of the radiological sections of this report. A discussion of the analyses used to quantify radioactive material, the common sources of radioactivity in the environment, and how each contributes to an individual’s radiation dose are provided. Some genera...

The approximation usually used, with the momentum transfer squared (q 2) small compared to the inverse elastic slope, is not justified within the kinematics of the E950 experiment.

Schäfer Department of Physics, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 17695 Riken-BNL Research Center, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973 Abstract We study scalar (q̄q) and (q̄q)2 correlation functions in the instanton liquid model. We show that the instanton liquid ...
