Prompted by the recent surprising results in QCD spectroscopy, we extend the treatment of the constituent quark model showing that mass differences and ratios have the same values when obtained from mesons and baryons. We obtain several new successful relations involving hadrons containing two and three strange quarks and hadrons containing heavy quarks and give a new prediction regarding spin ...

conclusions: considering the low rate of ceftriaxone resistance amongst isolated pneumcocci.in this study, only ceftriaxone treatment of adult patients with invasive pneumococcal infections (other than cns infections) is sufficient; but pediatric patients and patients with cns infections should be treated with ceftriaxone and vancomycin. apparently, diminution of vancomycin use can be resulted ...

an active area of public health policy in the united states is policy meant to promote healthy eating, reduce overconsumption of food, and prevent overweight/obesity. public discussion of such obesity prevention policies includes intense ethical disagreement. we suggest that some ethical disagreements about obesity prevention policies can be seen as rooted in a common concern with equality or w...

The micro-time context of group processes (such as argumentation) can affect a group’s micro-creativity (new ideas). Eighty high school students worked in groups of four on an algebra problem. Groups with higher mathematics grades showed greater microcreativity, and both were linked to better problem solving outcomes. Dynamic multilevel analyses of the groups’ 2951 turns of conversation statist...

In seventeenth-century Rome a popular financial scheme made it crucial to establish if pregnancy or childbirth had caused a woman's death. Courts sought medical advice, and this prompted physicians to reconsider the issues. Their disagreements provide historians with evidence from which to reassess received views of early modern doctors' involvement with birthing bodies. Among others, Paolo Zac...
