We present numerical results for the location of the chiral critical line at finite temperature and zero and non-zero baryon density for QCD with Nf = 2 + 1 flavours of staggered fermions on lattices with temporal extent Nt = 4. For degenerate quark masses, we compare our results obtained with the exact RHMC algorithm with earlier, inexact R-algorithm results and find a reduction of 25% in the ...

Local sign withdrawal, a reflex to direct the limb away from noxious cutaneous stimuli, is thought to be indicative of a modular organization of the spinal cord. To assess the integrity of such an organization of the spinal cord in chronic human spinal cord injury (SCI), we tested the electromyogram (EMG) and joint torque responses to cutaneous stimuli applied to 6 locations of the leg in 10 SC...

recently, abbasbandy and asady have been proposed a modificationof the distance based approach, namely ``sign distance method''.however, in this paper, it is shown that this method has some drawbacks, i.e.,the result is not consistent with human intuition for specialcases and this method cannot always logically infer rankingorder of the images of the fuzzy numbers. in this paper, wepresent a re...

The two-dimensional quantum-spin $$S=1$$ square-lattice $$J_1$$ – $$J_2$$ XY model with the single-ion anisotropy D was investigated numerically, placing an emphasis on end-point singularity of phase boundary separating and paramagnetic phases in proximity to fully frustrated point, $$J_2/J_1 \rightarrow 0.5^{-}$$ . We employed exact diagonalization method circumvent negative sign problem quant...

BACKGROUND Symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement is a known prearthritic condition. Impingement morphology is poorly defined in the adolescent population. The purpose of this study was to document the prevalence of radiographic impingement morphology in adolescents with no symptomatic hip problems. METHODS Ninety anteroposterior images of the hip in forty-five consecutive adolescents with ...

PURPOSE To determine whether changing sign-out practices and decreasing the time spent in rounding and recopying patient data affect patient safety. Responding to limited resident duty hours, the University of Washington launched a computerized rounding and sign-out system ("UW Cores"). The system shortened duty hours by facilitating sign-out, decreasing rounding time, and sharply reducing the ...

Abstract We consider the thermal Casimir effect in ideal Bose gases, where dispersion relation involves both terms quadratic and quartic momentum. demonstrate that if macroscopic objects are immersed such a fluid spatial dimensionality $d \in \{3,7, 11, \dots \}$ at critical temperature $T_c$, force acting between them is characterized by sign which depends on separation $D$ bodies changes from...
