I discuss several topics in the applications of chiral symmetry at nonzero temperature. First, where does the rho go? The answer: up. The restoration of chiral symmetry at a temperature T implies that the and a 1 vector mesons are degenerate in mass. In a gauged linear sigma model the mass increases with temperature, m (T) > m (0). I conjecture that at T the thermal ? a 1 peak is relatively hig...

We show that, if E is a Banach space with a shrinking basis satisfying a certain condition, then the Banach algebra l∞(K(l2⊕E)) is not amenable; in particular, this is true for E = l with p ∈ (1,∞). As a consequence, l∞(K(E)) is not amenable for any infinite-dimensional Lp-space. This, in turn, entails the non-amenability of B(lp(E)) for any Lp-space E, so that, in particular, B(lp) and B(Lp[0,...

Breast tumours consist of phenotypically diverse populations of breast cancer cells of which only a minority has the ability to form new tumours. The capacity for breast tumour development has been shown to be restricted to breast cancer stem cells with the CD44+/ CD24(-/low) phenotype. These cells can resist apoptosis through mechanisms such as the regulation of Bcl-2. Identification of this p...

Some aspects of B physics relevant for experiments in hadron colliders are discussed. These include the determination of parameters of the CKMMatrix and con rmation of its role in CP violation, studies of mixing of nonstrange and strange B mesons, lifetimes of hadrons containing b quarks, the use of \same-side" tagging of neutral B mesons via correlations with charged pions through fragmentatio...

We show that noncommutative Lp-spaces satisfy the axioms of the (nonunital) operator system with a dominating constant 2 1 p . Therefore, noncommutative Lpspaces can be embedded into BpHq 2 1 p -completely isomorphically and complete order isomorphically.

In this article. the results of an initial attempt to estimate the effects of state attributes on plant location and investment expenditure were presented for the forest products industry in the southern United States. A conditionallogit model was used to analyze new plant births, and a timeseries cross-section model to assess the total capital expenditure. Significant positive effects were fou...

The Deep Impact target comet 9P/Tempel 1 was observed by means of longslit spectroscopy from two nights before impact up to eight nights after impact, using the ESO VLT UT1, UT2, and ESO NTT telescopes. Spectra covering the complete optical wavelength range were obtained, and information at different position angles in the coma was collected. The data were used to study the gas and dust activit...

Background: Previous studies suggest that human RAD9 (hRad9), encoding a DNA damage checkpoint molecule, which is frequently amplified in epithelial tumor cells of breast, lung, head and neck cancer, participates in regulation of the tumor suppressor p53-dependent transactivation of pro-survival P21WAF1. This study examined the exact mechanism of the hRad9 function, especially through the phosp...

Transcripts with ESTs derived exclusively or predominantly from testis, and not from other normal tissues, are likely to be products of genes with testis-restricted expression, and are thus potential cancer/ testis (CT) antigen genes. A list of 371 genes with such characteristics was compiled by analyzing publicly available EST databases. RT-PCR analysis of normal and tumor tissues was performe...
