We discuss a novel cold dark matter candidate which is formed from the ordinary quarks during the QCD phase transition when the axion domain wall undergoes an unchecked collapse due to the tension in the wall. If a large number of quarks is trapped inside the bulk of a closed axion domain wall, the collapse stops due to the internal Fermi pressure. In this case the system in the bulk, may reach...

Twenty-five years after the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe, the European East-West divide has not been relegated to the annals of history. Among other areas, it persists tenaciously within the ethnological/anthropological sciences practised in Europe. This article deconstructs and challenges reified differences between ethnologies in Central-Eastern Europe and Western, mainly British-s...

Berlin was the location in which most of intelligence operations Europe have taken place first twenty years conquest and Cold War. In November 27, 1958, Khrushchev issued a formal letter to Allies, demanding that western Allies evacuate enable establishment an independent political unit, free city. He threatened if West would not comply with this, soviets hand over East Germany’s government con...

IMPORTANCE Lateral pharyngeal wall collapse has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Modified expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty (ESP) is a simple procedure and can be considered in the surgical management of children with severe OSA. OBJECTIVE To describe a modified ESP addressing lateral pharyngeal muscle wall collapse in the treatment of children with OSA. ...

The paper explores the politics of (dis)assembling borders within Europe. It examines performance Berlin-based artist collective Zentrum für Politische Schönheit (Center for Political Beauty, ZPS) in 2014, which activists temporarily removed white border crosses commemorating death at former Berlin Wall. With this unauthorized displacement, ZPS sought to problematize ongoing violence and Europe...

Progressive collapse of buildings typically occurs when abnormal loading conditions cause local damages, which leads to a chain reaction of failure and ultimately catastrophic collapse. The tie force (TF) method is one of the main design approaches for progressive collapse. As the TF method is a simplified method, further investigations on the reliability of the method is necessary. This study ...

fractures with an intact posteromedial buttress, have been successfully treated with a sliding hip screw or blade.1 However, unstable intertrochanteric fractures tend to collapse even after adequate reduction and fixation with plating, and thus intramedullary nailing is recommended.2 Unstable intertrochanteric fractures include fractures with posteromedial comminution, a reverse oblique configu...

Background The State of Wisconsin has a long history of refugee resettlement with over 70,000 refugees having come to Wisconsin from all over the world. At present, Wisconsin welcomes around 1500 refugees every year with the majority being resettled in the state’s urbanized southeastern corridor. Refugee resettlement trends within Wisconsin have fluctuated in conjunction with worldwide politica...
