BACKGROUND Tidal volume (V(T)) must be accurately delivered by anaesthesia ventilators in the volume-controlled ventilation mode in order for lung protective ventilation to be effective. However, the impact of fresh gas flow (FGF) and lung mechanics on delivery of V(T) by the newest anaesthesia ventilators has not been reported. METHODS We measured delivered V(T) (V(TI)) from four anaesthesia...

The HERA collider at DESY (Hamburg) has provided Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) of electrons off protons in the years 1992-2007 for the H1 and ZEUS experiments with a centre of mass energy up to 318 GeV. Diffractive dissociation of photons in the reaction γ(∗) p → X p, constitute a large fraction (∼ 10%) of the visible cross section in deep inelastic scattering (DIS), and the process can be se...

Production of electroweak vector bosons W and Z in electron-proton collisions at centre of mass energy ps = 300GeV was studied. The data sample used corresponds to the integrated luminosity L = 37:4 pb 1 collected in the ZEUS experiment at HERA during 1993{1997. Hadronic decay channel of W=Z bosons with high transverse energy (High-ET ) nal states was investigated, looking for an excess of even...

Recent results for inclusive jet cross sections, dijet cross sections and dijet angular distributions are compared with NLO perturbative QCD calculations. The observation of isolated high PT photons (prompt photons) is also reported. INTRODUCTION Collisions of 27.5 GeV positrons with 820 GeV protons at HERA are studied using the ZEUS detector. The processes of interest here are those where an a...

Neutral orbitally excited P-wave charm mesons have been reconstructed in the D * ± π ∓ final state and the charm-strange meson D ± s1 (2536) was found in the D * ± K 0 s final state. A search for radially excited charm mesons in the D * ± π + π − final state has also been performed. A search for a charm pentaquark state near 3.1 GeV was made in the decay mode D * ± p ∓. Using more than 40,000 r...

We discuss a selection of important recent H1 and ZEUS results on hadronic final states in deep-inelastic ep scattering at HERA.

Seleucos I and the Cult of Zeus Nikatôr In order to study cult Nikatôr, six Greek inscriptions (one from northern Syria five southern Anatolia) are gathered commented. The origin, diffusion longevity evoked, since it was vivid until IIIrd century A.D. in eastern Mediterranean, mainly Taurus (Pamphylia, Lycia, Pisidia Phrygia Paroreios). Accordingly, also connection with onomastics numismatics, ...
