Background Osteoarthritis of the knee (knee OA) is most prevalent form OA in Germany as well globally [1] , frequently leading to pain and functional limitations. Several risk factors have been identified for osteoarthritis, which can be divided into those at person level (age, sex, obesity, genetic predisposition, physical activity diet) joint (injuries, malposition overstress) [2] . Patients ...

Research Findings: To test children’s use of testimony of others, 3 – 9 years (N = 227) made judgments about a potential peer transgression in which the intentions of the protagonist were ambiguous, after hearing two different forms of testimony. The 2 forms of testimony were (a) opposing opinion-based testimony from an adult authority versus a peer consensus group and (b) knowledge-based testi...

Using the ZEUS detector at HERA, we have searched for heavy excited states of electrons, neutrinos, and quarks in e+p collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 300 GeV. With an integrated luminosity of 9.4 pb−1, no evidence was found for electroweak production and decay of such states. Limits on the production cross section times branching ratio and on the characteristic couplings, f/Λ, are deri...

The shape of jets produced in quasi-real photon-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies in the range 134 − 277 GeV has been measured using the hadronic energy flow. The measurement was done with the ZEUS detector at HERA. Jets are identified using a cone algorithm in the η − φ plane with a cone radius of one unit. Measured jet shapes both in inclusive jet and dijet production with transver...

On May 18, 2013, at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in San Francisco, the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) was, with intense anticipation, released. When I arrived the day earlier, I immediately encountered three men protesting peacefully on the sidewalk outside of my hotel: One sign re...

The inclusive forward jet cross section in deep inelastic ep scattering has been measured in the region of x–Bjorken, 4.5 · 10 to 4.5 · 10. This measurement is motivated by the search for effects of BFKL–like parton shower evolution. The cross section at hadron level as a function of x is compared to cross sections predicted by various Monte Carlo models. An excess of forward jet production at ...

Aedes triseriattn (Say) is a low-density, diurnal species that does not readily enter animalbaited traps and is not attracted to light traps (Craig 1983). A variety of other methods have been used to monitor populations. The ovitrap (Loor and DeFoliart 1970) is a useful detection tool, although results are influenced by rainfall and the availability of competing oviposition sites (Berry et al.,...

Charged particle production in neutral current deep inelastic scattering (DIS) has been studied using the ZEUS detector. The evolution of the mean multiplicities, scaled momenta and transverse momenta in Q and x for 10 < Q < 5120 GeV and x > 6 × 10 has been investigated in the current and target fragmentation regions of the Breit frame. Distributions in the target region, using HERA data for th...

Differential dijet cross sections have been measured with the ZEUS detector for photoproduction events in which the hadronic final state containing the jets is separated with respect to the outgoing proton direction by a large rapidity gap. The cross section has been measured as a function of the fraction of the photon (xOBS γ ) and pomeron (β OBS) momentum participating in the production of th...
