We present new sets of fragmentation functions for charged pions and kaons, both at leading and next-to-leading order. They are fitted to data on inclusive chargedhadron production in e+e− annihilation taken by TPC at PEP ( √ s = 29 GeV) and to similar data by ALEPH at LEP, who discriminated between events with charm, bottom, and light-flavour fragmentation in their charged-hadron sample. In co...

We calculate the cross section for the production of two jets with large transverse momenta k in DIS diffractive dissociation for both transverse and longitudinally polarized photons. The scale which defines the hardness of the Pomeron is found to be k Q 2 +M M . We present analytic expressions and discuss numerical results relevant for the diffractive dissociation at HERA. 1.) The diffractive ...

We investigate the azimuthal distribution of quark-antiquark jets in DIS diffractive dissociation with large transverse momentum. In this kinematical region the matrix element is expressed in terms of the gluon structure function. For the transverse part of the cross section we find a cos(2φ)-distribution with the maximum at φ = ±π/2, i.e. the jets prefer a direction perpendicular to the electr...

We study inclusive charged-hadron production in collisions of quasireal photons at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the QCD-improved parton model, using fragmentation functions recently extracted from PEP and LEP1 data of e+e− annihilation. We consistently superimpose the direct (DD), single-resolved (DR), and double-resolved (RR) γγ channels. We consider photon spectra generated by electromagnet...

Histological examination of biopsy shows usefulness in the diagnosis of vocal cord leukoplakia; however, in considerable amount of cases, the examination cannot provide definitive diagnosis of malignancy from benign conditions such as hyperplasia and dysplasia. The present work therefore was aimed to identify clinicopathological factors and molecular markers predictive of recurrence and maligna...

Treatment guidelines give preference to new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) over warfarin for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) because the NOACs are at least as effective as warfarin, but are associated with less life-threatening bleeding and do...
