We determined the dose-response curves to inhaled methacholine (MCh) in 16 asthmatic and 8 healthy subjects with prohibition of deep inhalations (DIs) and with 5 DIs taken after each MCh dose. Flow was measured on partial expiratory flow-volume curves at an absolute lung volume (plethysmographically determined) equal to 25% of control forced vital capacity (FVC). Airway inflammation was assesse...

• Charged Multiplicities in DIS and diffractive DIS (DDIS). The use of W and Ecurrent and a unified approach to DIS and DDIS. • Inclusive photoproduction of non-strange mesons. Universal rate curve as a function of (pT +m). • Strange Particle Production and polarisation, looked at as a function of pT , η,Q , x. • Charm fragmentation. Universality in DIS, photoproduction and ee annihilation. • B...

We give an efficient algorithm to randomly generate finitely generated subgroups of a given size, in a finite rank free group. Here, the size of a subgroup is the number of vertices of its representation by a reduced graph such as can be obtained by the method of Stallings foldings. Our algorithm randomly generates a subgroup of a given size n, according to the uniform distribution over size n ...

This article utilises the dual methodological lens of disability and decolonisation in order to critically examine, interdisicplinary global perspective, what it will mean be both a ‘human’ ‘citizen’ 21st century. I propose development an epistemological framework methodology dis/abling decolonising knowledge on humanness citizenship anticipate demographic, environmental, technological futures....

We explain microscopically why split attractor flows, known to underlie certain stationary BPS solutions of four dimensional N = 2 supergravity, are the relevant data to describe wrapped D-branes in Calabi-Yau compactifcations of type II string theory. We work entirely in the context of the classical geometry of A-branes, i.e. special Lagrangian submanifolds, avoiding both the use of homologica...

the present study on politeness is an attempt to examine (dis)agreeing strategies utilized by efl learners while chatting on the internet. subjects of the study were forty male and thirty-three female iranian natives whose internet relay chat (irc) interactions, composed of 400 excerpts, were collected between december 2007 and september 2008. data analysis was based on the general taxonomy of ...
