While indirect & direct CP violations (CPV) had been established in the decays of strange & beauty mesons, none have been done for baryons. There are different ”roads” for finding CP asymmetries in the decays of strange baryons; they are highly non-trivial ones. The HyperCP Collaboration had probed CPV in the decays of single Ξ & Λ [1]. We talk about future lessons from ee collisions at BESIII/...

Following Dietrich (2014) we consider using choice by plurality voting (CPV) as a judgment aggregation correspondence. We notice that a result of Roberts (1991) implies that CPV is axiomatically characterized by anonymity, neutrality, unanimity, and (Young’s) reinforcement. Following List (2004) and Dietrich (2015) we construct a sequential voting procedure of judgement aggregation which satisf...

In this paper we naturally define when a theory has bounded quantifier elimination, or is bounded model complete. We give several equivalent conditions for a theory to have each of these properties. These results provide simple proofs for some known results in the model theory of the bounded arithmetic theories like CPV and PV1. We use the mentioned results to obtain some independence results i...

To explore experiences with and views of general practitioners (GPs) on a physician communication training method in primary care and its applicability and implementation in daily practice, we performed a semiexperience of training in and implementing a communication skills training program for managing lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) which included a seminar, simulated patient consult...

The purpose of this article is to provide criteria for the solvability of the Diophantine equation a2X2− bY 2 = c in terms of the simple continued fraction expansion of √ a2b, and to explore criteria for the solvability of AX2 − BY 2 = C for given A, B, C ∈ N in the general case. This continues work in [9]–[11].

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a relatively common mucosal disease that can present isolated or associated with cutaneous lichen planus. Contrarily to its cutaneous counterpart, though, OLP tends to be chronic, relapsing, and difficult to treat. Severe morbidity is related to erosive forms, and more aggressive presentations have been described, such as the "gingivo-vulvar syndrome". This article r...

Let a, b, c, d be complex numbers with d 6= 0 and |q| < 1. Define H1(a, b, c, d, q) := 1 1 + −abq + c (a + b)q + d + · · · + −abq + cq (a + b)qn+1 + d + · · · . We show that H1(a, b, c, d, q) converges and 1 H1(a, b, c, d, q) − 1 = c − abq d + aq P∞ j=0 (b/d)(−c/bd)j q (q)j(−aq/d)j P∞ j=0 (b/d)(−c/bd)j q (q)j(−aq/d)j . We then use this result to deduce various corollaries, including the followi...

Static, spherically symmetric solutions of the field equations for a particular dimensional continuation of general relativity with negative cosmological constant are studied. The action is, in odd dimensions, the Chern-Simons form for the anti-de Sitter group and, in even dimensions, the Euler density constructed with the Lorentz part of the anti-de Sitter curvature tensor. Both actions are sp...

BACKGROUND Like many other low- and middle-income countries, Guatemala has adopted visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) as a low-resource alternative to the Pap smear for cervical cancer screening. Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) introduced VIA to Guatemala in 2004, and a growing number of NGOs, working both independently and in collaboration with the Guatemalan Ministry of Health, emp...

Continued fractions in R have a single definition and algorithms for approximating them are well known. There also exists a well known result which states that √ m, m ∈ Q, always has a periodic continued fraction representation. In Qp, the field of p-adics, however, there are competing and non-equivalent definitions of continued fractions and no single algorithm exists which always produces a p...
