A major implication of confinement in QCD is to generate an ordered structure for the ground state1. As a consequence, at low energies, the non-perturbative QCD dynamics can be described by an effective theory (called ChPT)2,3,4. In this approach, an expansion in either two or three of the light quark masses is performed and it is important to verify its accuracy. This is now becoming possible ...

Despite similar genome sizes, a great variability in recombination rates is observed in mammals. We used antibodies against SYCP3, MLH1 and centromeres to compare crossover frequency, position along chromosome arms and the effect of crossover interference in spermatocytes of 4 species from the family Bovidae ( Bos taurus , 2n = 60, tribe Bovini; Ovis aries , 2n = 54, Capra hircus , 2n = 60 and ...

INTRODUCTION: For over a decade now, there has been increasing awareness of the importance of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis in plastic surgery. Plastic surgeons have yet to agree on practice guidelines founded on evidence-based medicine (EMB). Seeking to address this issue, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons Executive Committee approved the Venous Thromboembolism Task Force Rep...
