We argue for the presence of a Z2 topological structure in the space of static gauge-Higgs field configurations of SU(2n) and SO(2n) Yang-Mills theories. We rigorously prove the existence of a Z2 homotopy group of mappings from the 2-dim. projective sphere RP 2 into SU(2n)/Z2 and SO(2n)/Z2 Lie groups respectively. Consequently the symmetric phase of these theories admits infinite surfaces of od...

In various unified extensions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, the Yukawa couplings of the third generation are predicted to be of the same order. As a result, low energy measured mass ratios, require large ratios of the standard model Higgs vacuum expectation values, corresponding to a large value of the parameter tanβ. We present analytic solutions for the Yukawa couplings and th...

We would like to request a retraction of our paper [1] entitled, “A novel carbamoyloxy arylalkanoyl arylpiperazine compound (SKL-NP) inhibits hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel currents in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons” by Gehoon Chung, Tae-hyung Kim, Hyewon Shin, Eunhee Chae, Hanju Yi, Hongsik Moon, Hyun Jin Kim, Joong Soo Kim, Seog Bae Oh, from The Korean Jou...

Results The mean age of disease onset was 30 years (range: 27 to 43). All patients presented with paresthesias, temperature loss and progressive weakness at the lower extremities, urinary difficulties, diarrhea, postural dizziness and weight loss. The upper extremities were involved later during the disease progression. Neurological examination revealed loss of pain and temperature sensation in...
