OBJECTIVE To examine the incidence and characteristics of concussions for one season in the Canadian Football League (CFL). DESIGN Retrospective survey. PARTICIPANTS 289 players reporting to CFL training camp. Of these, 154 players had played in the CFL during the 1997 season. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Based on self-reported symptoms, calculations were made to determine the number of concussi...

QCD superconductors in the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase sustain light Goldstone modes (that will be referred to as generalized pions) that can be described as pairs of particle and/or hole excitations around a gapped Fermi surface. In weak coupling and to leading logarithm accuracy, their form factor, mass and decay constant can be evaluated exactly. These modes are found to satisfy an axial...

Subjects with central field loss (CFL) individually selected enhancement parameters to improve visibility of static video images. The effect of enhancement on performance and on perceived quality of motion video was assessed. Performance, e.g. recognition of visual details, was assessed by having subjects answer questions regarding visual information contained in the video motion segments that ...

Finite lumps of color-flavor locked strange-quark matter (CFL strangelets) are significantly more stable than strangelets without color-flavor locking for wide ranges of parameters, increasing the likelihood of strangelet metastability, or even absolute stability beyond some minimum baryon number A(min). Whereas bulk CFL strange-quark matter is electrically neutral, CFL strangelets are positive...

introduction: self-assessment in healthcare is inevitable, like in all other sections. scarce resources, necessity of performance refining, vitality of provided services and quality of services are evidence for necessity of having a proper system of self-assessment of performance in this area. hence, the purpose of present study was to study areas of improvement based on european foundation for...

Beliefs and customs surrounding death, funeral rites, and mourning provide a window into a society’s most deeply held values. In the monotheistic faith of Islam, eschatology – belief in the Day of Judgment (Yawm al-din) and resurrection (al-qiyama) – underlies many practices. Public mourning rituals that commemorate the deaths of saints and martyrs are closely linked to the concept of salvation...
