In the framework of the semihard (kT factorization) QCD approach, we consider the photoproduction of D mesons associated with two hadron jets and the D production in DIS at THERA conditions with the emphasis on the BFKL and CCFM dynamics of gluon distributions. In the photoproduction of D mesons the attention is focused on the variable xγ , which is the fraction of the photon momentum contribut...

A fresh look at diffractive J/ψ photoproduction at HERA, with predictions for THERA. Abstract A new analysis of the photoproduction of the J/ψ-family is presented incorporating our recent model for the dipole cross section. The relative contributions from small and large transverse size fluctuations of the photon are clear and explicitly illustrate the mixing of pertur-bative and non-perturbati...

Main parameters and the physics search potentials of the linac-ring type lepton-hadron and photon-hadron colliders are discussed. The THERA (TESLA on HERA), ”NLC”-LHC and ”CLIC”-VLHC proposals are considered.

Purpose of review Over the past four decades, outcomes for patients with cystic fibrosis have improved dramatically. Major contributors to this improvement are a better understanding of disease pathogenesis and the systematic conduct of clinical trials evaluating new therapies designed to address these defects. This review describes recent developments in cystic fibrosis pulmonary therapies int...
