one of the complications of twinning of mono chorionic mono amniotic gestations is conjointed twins. structural congenital malformations occur in 5 % to 7 % of twin gestations versus only 3 % of singleton births. most defects occurring in only one of the twin fetuses. occasional anomalies such as omphalocele sincenomalia heart defect one reported in both concordance. the structural defect commo...

PROSPECTIVE veterinary students can now find out more about applying for vet school and what it is like to be a qualified vet thanks to ‘Be a Vet’, a new app created by staff at the University of Glasgow’s School of Veterinary Medicine. The vet school says that many students can find the transition to life as a university veterinary student challenging, particularly if they are leaving home for...

The interplay of quantum fluctuations with nonlinear dynamics is a central topic in the study of open quantum systems, connected to fundamental issues such as decoherence and the quantum-classical transition and practical applications such as coherent information processing and the development of mesoscopic sensors and amplifiers . With this context in mind, we here present a computational stud...

Telling lies often requires creating a story about an experience or attitude that does not exist. As a result, false stories may be qualitatively different from true stories. The current project investigated the features of linguistic style that distinguish between true and false stories. In an analysis of five independent samples, a computer-based text analysis program correctly classified lia...

Intermediate energy Coulomb excitation at 100 MeV/nucleon was used to probe the low-lying level structure of both O and O in the region between 1 and 8 MeV. Discrete 1 states with energies of 5.35~10! and 6.85~5! MeV were observed in O. The strong direct excitation and subsequent g-ray decay of these states, along with B(El) predictions for O levels in this energy region, established their dipo...

The ground and first excited state of two superconducting layers in interaction are studied considering two different coupling terms, one represented by the standard Josephson interaction, and one new, which is a superexchange pairing force between bilayer pairs. It is shown that a moderate-to strong Josephson interaction produces a low-lying collective state, pictured as an out-of-phase oscill...

There are two competing pictures for understanding baryon physics in different mass regions. For hadrons with heavy quarks linear confinement and perturbative gluon exchange corrections [1] provide a satisfactory description. For lighter quarks towards the chiral limit we have to expect manifestations of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking [2]. Lattice studies can shed light on the relevant me...

Two 1− levels at 5.35(10) and 6.85(5) MeV were observed for the first time in 20O. The strong direct excitation and subsequent γ -ray decay of these states in virtual photon scattering at 100 MeV/nucleon, along with B(Eλ) predictions for 20O states in this energy region, established their dipole character. The extracted B(E1)↑ values of 0.062(16) e2 fm2 and 0.035(9) e2 fm2 for the 5.35 and 6.85...

Assuming the grand Riemann hypothesis, we investigate the distribution of the lowlying zeros of the L-functions L(s, ψ), where ψ is a character of the ideal class group of the imaginary quadratic field Q( √ −D) (D squarefree, D > 3, D ≡ 3 (mod 4)). We prove that, in the vicinity of the central point s = 1/2, the average distribution of these zeros (for D −→ ∞) is governed by the symplectic dist...
