We have been studying -decay properties of nuclei far from the -stability line with the use of the 2nd generation of the gross theory and semi-gross theory. In the 2nd generation of the gross theory, the shell effects of nuclei are included only through the -decay Q-values. On the other hand, in the case of the semi-gross theory, other various shell effects of the parent nucleus are taken into ...

The Church-Rosser theorem in the type-free λ-calculus is well investigated both for β-equality and β-reduction. We provide a new proof of the theorem for β-equality with no use of parallel reductions, but simply with Takahashi's translation (Gross-Knuth strategy). Based on this, upper bounds for reduction sequences on the theorem are obtained as the fourth level of the Grzegorczyk hierarchy.

BACKGROUND Paracetamol is used extensively during pregnancy, but studies regarding the potential neurodevelopmental sequelae of foetal paracetamol exposure are lacking. Method Between 1999 and 2008 all pregnant Norwegian women were eligible for recruitment into the prospective Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study. The mothers were asked to report on their use of paracetamol at gestational we...

OBJECTIVES To determine changes in prevalence and severity of oropharyngeal dysphagia (OPD) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and the relationship to health outcomes. DESIGN Longitudinal cohort study. SETTING Community and tertiary institutions. PARTICIPANTS Children (N=53, 33 boys) with a confirmed diagnosis of CP assessed first at 18 to 24 months (Assessment 1: mean age ± SD, 22.9±2....

Radioactivity in the atmosphere originates from natural radioactive decay, cosmogenic production, nuclear weapons testing and nuclear accidents. Results of the measurements have shown that cosmogenic 7Be is the only gamma emitting nuclide found in the atmosphere of Iran (1). 7Be (t1/2 = 53d) is one of the radioactive products of the bombardment of the atmosphere by cosmic rays. About 75% of 7Be...

We compute at the one-loop order the β-functions for a renormalisable noncommutative analog of the Gross Neveu model defined on the Moyal plane. The calculation is performed within the so called x-space formalism. We find that this non-commutative field theory exhibits asymptotic freedom for any number of colors. The β-function for the non-commutative counterpart of the Thirring model is found ...
