We investigate the twist-3 effects in the polarized virtual photon structure. The structure functions g 1 and g γ 2 of polarized photon could be experimentally studied in the future polarized ep or ee colliders. The leading contributions to g 1 are the twist-2 effects, while another structure function g 2 , which only exists for the virtual photon target, receives not only the twist-2 but also ...

Mammalian tissues contain networks and ordered arrays of collagen fibrils originating from the periodic self-assembly of helical 300 nm long tropocollagen complexes. The fibril radius is typically between 25 to 250 nm, and tropocollagen at the surface appears to exhibit a characteristic twist-angle with respect to the fibril axis. Similar fibril radii and twist-angles at the surface are observe...

Ab initio calculations at HF/6-31G* level of theory for geometry optimization and MP2/6-31G*//HF/6-31G* for a single point total energy calculation are reported for the importantenergy-minimum conformations and transition-state geometries of 1, 3-diazacyclohepta-1, 2-diene (2) and 1, 3-diazacycloocta-1, 2-diene (3). The C2 symmetric twist-chair (2-TC)conformation of 2 is calculated to be 7.4 kJ...

We discuss conformal symmetry on the two dimensional noncommutative plane equipped with Moyal product in the twist deformed context. We show that the consistent use of the twist procedure leads to results which are free from ambiguities. This lends support to the importance of the use of twist symmetries in noncommutative geometry.

A bstract We present an in-depth analysis of transverse momentum dependent (TMD) distributions twist-three. In particular, we focus on evolution equations, symmetry relations, parameterization, interpretation, small-b asymptotic behaviour and the structure singularities. The starting point discussion are correlators with definite TMD-twist. By considering suitable combinations these correlators...

Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is one of the most common head and neck cancers. Cisplatin is effective as a single agent or in combination with other drugs for the treatment of TSCC. Treatment with cisplatin-based chemotherapy has been found to improve the prognosis of patients with TSCC. However, one of the most important clinical issues of cisplatin-based TSCC chemotherapy is the intri...

M-twist is the murine homolog of the Drosophila twist gene which is a zygotic target for maternal genes that establish embryonic dorso-ventral polarity and is necessary for mesoderm formation. We recently showed that before gastrulation, M-twist transcripts are detected in morulae and blastocysts, then in extra-embryonic tissues of early implanted mouse embryos before the onset of gastrulation,...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The specific aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, reproducibility and maturational changes of LV rotation, twist and torsion variables by real-time 3D speckle-tracking echocardiography (RT3DSTE) in children. METHODS A prospective study was conducted in 347 consecutive healthy subjects (181 males/156 females, mean age 7.12 ± 5.3 years, and range from birt...

BACKGROUND Altered septal curvature and left ventricular (LV) geometry secondary to right ventricular (RV) dilation render two-dimensional assessment of LV mechanics difficult in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients. The novel three-dimensional (3D) speckle tracking echocardiography enables comprehensive evaluation of true 3D LV mechanics. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy-six patients aged ...

We study a heat kernel e defined by a self-adjoint Hamiltonian H acting on a Hilbert space H, and a unitary representation U(g) of a symmetry group G of H, normalized so that the ground vector of H is invariant under U(g). The triple [H, U(g), H] defines a twisted partition function Zg and a twisted Gibbs expectation ( } ) g , Zg=TrH (U(g) e&;H) and ( } ) g=TrH (U(g) } e) TrH (U(g) e). We say t...
