the term riga-fede disease has been used to describe chronic traumatic ulceration that occurs on the ventral surface of the tongue by natal and neonatal teeth in infants. it is important to diagnose the lesion and treat it by eliminating the source of trauma. in this case report, the neonatal tooth was extracted and after 2 weeks the lesion was resolved and the baby was feeding well.in addition...

Two fused cyclopentadithiophenebis(dicyanovinylene) derivatives (FCPDT-16 and FCPDT-C24) with a low-lying LUMO energy level (3.88 eV) and a rigid core structurewere successfully synthesized.They have good thermal stability and form highly ordered packing structures both in the bulk solid state and in thin films. The field effect transistors fabricated from a solution of these two compounds show...

A pyrene-fused phenazinothiadiazole that shows electron mobilities (μe = 0.016 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)) two orders of magnitude higher than those reported for pyrene-fused pyrazaacenes is described.

The facts of the human body, evolutionary, physiological, social, and systemic, as experienced and symbolized (often differently) by every human, necessarily set the standards, and the limits, of human minds, and of theories about them. Following Turner (1994), who conjures the ghost of Plato conjuring the ghost of Socrates conjuring the ghost of Protagoras, we may call (1) Protagoras’s Principle:

On (b, c)-system at finite temperature in thermo field approach Abstract We construct the finite temperature field theory of the two-dimensional ghost-antighost system within the framework of thermo field theory.

We demonstrate that a Hermitian matrix model can be derived from level truncated open string field theory with Chan-Paton factors. The Hermitian matrix is coupled with a scalar and U(N) vectors which are responsible for the D-brane at the tachyon vacuum. Effective potential for the scalar is evaluated both for finite and large N. Increase of potential height is observed in both cases. The large...

Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data makes possible to directly characterize the three-dimensional (3D) distribution of canopy foliage elements. The scanned edges of these elements may result in incorrectly point measurements (i.e., “ghost points”) impacting the quality of point cloud data. Therefore, estimation of the ghost points’ spatial visibilities, measurement of their characteristics an...

One of the most surprising consequences of quantum mechanics is the nonlocal correlation of a multi-particle system observable in joint-detection of distant particle-detectors. Ghost imaging is one of such phenomena. Taking a photograph of an object, traditionally, we need to face a camera to the object. But with ghost imaging, we can image the object by pointing a CCD camera towards the light ...
