Exclusive yy -+ hadron pairs are among the most fundamental processes in &CD, providing a detailed examination of Compton scattering in the crossed channel. In the high momentum transfer domain (s, t, large, 19,~ for t/s fixed), these processes can be computed from first principles in &CD, yielding important information on the nature of the QCD coupling a, and the form of hadron distribution am...

Editor – The secondary analysis published in the article by Bahl et al. in the June 2005 issue of the Bulletin (1) confirms the strong protective effect of breastfeeding against death among infants in Ghana, India and Peru, where infant mortality due to infectious disease is high. The strength of this protective effect is somewhat larger than that observed in the pooled analysis of three smalle...

The uncertainty principle is one of the characteristic properties of quantum theory based on incompatibility. Apart from the incompatible relation of quantum states, mutually exclusiveness is another remarkable phenomenon in the information- theoretic foundation of quantum theory. We investigate the role of mutual exclusive physical states in the recent work of stronger uncertainty relations fo...

Using the example of two English villages, this paper examines whether rural crime concern is evidence of an ‘exclusive society’ (Young, 2002) in the countryside. Specific attention is given to concerns expressed by residents as part of a consultation exercise to establish community-based policing partnerships in rural areas of the West Mercia Constabulary. Based on these findings the paper goe...

In this paper, a three-echelon supply chain , including two producers, distributor and retailer who produce products in different brands have been considered. Any manufacturer, has a separate channel and the exclusive retailer offers their products, which have been prepared from the distributor (exclusive market) with discount or other manufacturer. In this paper pricing decisions on substitute...

Background: Febrile convulsion (FC) is one of the most common emergency diseases in childhood that has an incidence of3-4%. The most common causes ofFC are gastroenteritis and respiratory infections. We know that exclusive breast-feeding in the first 6 months oflife decreases this disorder. Methods: In this study we evaluated the frequency of exclusive breast-feeding on children who had FC...

Introduction: Breastfeeding is essential and a unique way of providing food to infants for development and healthy growth. Various breastfeeding practices are followed in different regions of India.  Objective: This study aims to collect the information for practices related to prelacteal feed, early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, and weaning in India. Materials and Met...

Exclusive electroproduction of a K or K * meson on the nucleon can give a Θ + pentaquark in the final state. This reaction offers an opportunity to investigate the structure of pentaquark baryons at parton level. We discuss the generalized parton distributions for the N → Θ + transition and give the leading order amplitude for electroproduction in the Bjorken regime.

EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING (breastmilk as the only source of milk) of twins and even triplets is well known. This is a report of “exclusive” breastfeeding for 1 year of quadruplets. Exclusive is placed in parentheses because one of the quads has phenylketonuria (PKU) and needed to receive a small amount of special formula without phenylalanine (Phenex-1®) to maintain his serum phenylalanine level ...

While antitrust law is often hostile to exclusive contracts that say ”you agree not to purchase this product from anyone besides me”, economic theory so far has provided only partial support for such a hostility.1 This paper shows that this hostility can be justified under more general circumstances than has been established so far in the literature: a firm may introduce exclusivity clauses in ...
