We demonstrate that a future high-energy electron-proton collider like THERA could largely extend the current HERA program in jet photoproduction of testing QCD and determining the partonic structure of the proton and the photon. Depending on the electron beam energy (250–500 GeV) and the collider mode (ep or γp), the range in the hard transverse energy scale of the jets could be increased by a...

We present a Knowledge Management System aimed at supporting collaborative research among participants in DC-THERA (“Dendritic Cells & Novel Immunotherapies”), a European Network of Excellence (NoE) in the field of dendritic cells and novel immuno-therapies for cancer and infectious diseases. The DC-THERA Directory is intended to support a range of activities which spans from base research to c...

Although hip muscle strengthening has been reported as an effective way to decrease PFPS symptoms, however its effect on lower extremity kinematics is less clear. The current study was done with the aim of investigating the effect of hip abductor and external rotator muscles strengthening exercises on lower extremity kinematics in static and dynamic states. In a randomized controlled trial, 33 ...

CONTEXT Thera-Band (TB) exercises are commonly utilized in ankle rehabilitation, but previous studies have shown inconsistent results. OBJECTIVE To compare two TB protocols among healthy subjects in improving postural control. DESIGN Mixed model design. SETTING Research laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Thirty healthy subjects divided into a control (CON), three times/week (TB3) or five times/we...

In the context of top-color assisted technicolor (TC2) models, we calculate the contributions of the neutral top-pion π t to tγ and tz production via the processes ep → γc → tγ and ep → γc → tz at the HERA and THERA colliders. Our results show that the cross sections σtγ(s) and σtz(s) are very small at the HERA collider with √ s = 320GeV . However, in most of the parameter space, σtγ(s) or σtz(...

In the framework of the little Higgs models and the three-site Higgsless model, we discuss the contributions of the new charged gauge boson W ′ to the subprocess eq → νq and the possibility of detecting W ′ via this process in future high energy e+e− collider (ILC) and ep collider (THERA) experiments. Our numerical results show that the process eq → νq is rather sensitive to the coupling W ff ′...

appointed, and the successful man must therefore be prepared to be the subject of a certain amount of adverse criticism. That is the price often of success. But there are some appointments which stand out apart by themselves in which the dissatisfaction is general; and when that is the case, it is usually founded on substantial reasons. The recent appointment to the Chair of Anatomy in the Calc...
