The O(α) virtual weak radiative corrections to many hadron collider processes are known to become large and negative at high energies, due to the appearance of Sudakov-like logarithms. At the same order in perturbation theory, weak boson emission diagrams contribute. Since the W and Z bosons are massive, the O(α) virtual weak radiative corrections and the contributions from weak boson emission ...

The nonlinear mechanism for the origin of the weak biophoton emission from biological systems is suggested. The mechanism is based on the properties of solitons that provide energy transfer and charge transport in metabolic processes. Such soliton states are formed in alpha-helical proteins. Account of the electron-phonon interaction in macromolecules results in the self-trapping of electrons i...

The hypersensitive response (HR) is one mechanism of the resistance of plants to pathogen infection. It involves the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which have crucial roles in signal transduction or as toxic agents leading to cell death. Often, ROS generation is accompanied by an ultraweak photon emission resulting from radical reactions that are initiated by ROS through the oxidat...

background subdiaphragmatic activity can produce subdiaphragmatic-related artifacts, which can degrade the quality of myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi). objectives we examined the impact of drinking milk, water, and lemon juice on different subdiaphragmatic-related artifacts by using 99mtc-sestamibi myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography (spect) in order to determine a feasible ...

objective(s): in this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of thyroid volume measurement using 99mtc pertechnetate single-photon emission computed tomography (spect) images, acquired by the standardized uptake value (suv)-shape scheme designed by our expert team.methods: a total of 18 consecutive patients with graves’ disease (gd) were subjected to both ultrasonographic and 99mtc pertechnet...

background: the implications of cardiac risk stratification before orthotopic liver transplantation (olt) are not well established. we studied the usefulness of myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) in this scenario. methods: mpi data of 24 patients (9 females), candidates of olt, were collected. they underwent mpi as part of their preoperative risk assessment. mpis were interpreted by 2 nuclear p...

The generation of ultra-narrowband, pure and storable single photons with widely tunable wave shape is an enabling step toward hybrid quantum networks requiring interconnection of remote disparate quantum systems. It allows interaction of quantum light with several material systems, including photonic quantum memories, single trapped ions and opto-mechanical systems. Previous approaches have of...
