For the first time a complete data set of the two-body decays of the f0(1370), f0(1500) and f0(1710) into all pseudoscalar mesons is available. The implications of these data for the flavour content for these three f0 states is studied. We find that they are in accord with the hypothesis that the scalar glueball of lattice QCD mixes with the qq nonet that also exists in its immediate vicinity. ...

activity in vitro and in vivo. The several action mechanisms have been proposed to explain their in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. Many flavonoids exert anti-oxidative and free radical scavenging activities. Some derivatives modulate cellular activities of the inflammation-associated cells such as mast cells and lymphocytes. In particular, varieties of flavonoid derivatives including querceti...

The formalism of Dalitz-Plot analysis is reviewed in the preceeding note. Table 1 lists reported analyses of D mesons. In the following, we discuss a number of subjects of current interest: (1) D0 → K0 Sππ; (2) D → πππ: a σ(500) or f0(600); (3) D+ → K−π+π+: a κ(800)? (4) the f0(980), f0(1370) and f0(1500); (5) doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays; and (6) CP violation. D0 → K0 Sππ: Several experime...

A short summary of two conferences on the hadron and gluonium spectrum is given, with personal comments on the status of the best candidates for gluonium or non-qq states, such as f0(1370), f0(1500), f0/2(1720), fJ(2230), η(1410), η(1460), and f1(1420).

The experiences of acute mountain sickness (AMS) as it has presented to a physician working in a general hospital at 1370 m in Kathmandu, nepal, are described. The features of 39 cases are analysed. It is suggested that AMS should be classified into benign and malignant forms.

From Dalitz-plot analyses of D → πππ and D → Kππ decays, we find evidence for light and broad scalar resonances σ(500) and κ(800). From a Dalitz-plot analysis of D s → π ππ decays, we measure the masses and decay widths of the scalar resonances f0(980) and f0(1370).
