The virtual photon theory (VPT), which is based on first-order Coulomb dissociation restricted to the electric dipole ($E1$), has been successfully used explain breakup data for several cases. Our aim study role of various higher-order processes that are ignored in VPT, such as nuclear breakup, interference between and amplitudes, multistep mainly due strong continuum-continuum couplings two-bo...

Deficits in memory function have been described in children and adolescents who were born very preterm (VPT), which can have profound effects on their school achievement and everyday life. However, to date, little is known about the development of the neuroanatomical substrates of memory following VPT birth. Here we focus on episodic and working memory and highlight key recent functional and st...

In this paper we describe a new flexible and universally applicable testbed for Internet-based multimedia applications. Our approach combines the technology of Programmable Networks with emulated network environments and delivers a Virtual Programmable Testbed (VPT). In this work we show that a VPT is well suited for rapid creation and evaluation of distributed multimedia applications. There ar...

Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is the preferred conservative treatment for preservation of symptomatic pulps in immature permanent teeth. The present case report summarizes VPT of an immature permanent molar with irreversible pulpitis associated with apical periodontitis in a 9-year-old boy. Cervical pulpotomy was performed and radicular pulp stumps were covered with calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) ce...

OBJECTIVES The effect of anthropometric factors on the fingertip vibrotactile perception threshold (VPT) of industrial vibrating tool operators (IVTOs) is not well known. The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between anthropometric factors and fingertip VPT. METHODS We included for analysis two groups of IVTOs: Group 1, predominantly forestry workers (n=325); and Group...

In visual perspective taking (vPT) one has to concern oneself with what other people see and how they see it. Since seeing is a mental state, developmental studies have discussed vPT within the domain of "theory of mind (ToM)" but imaging studies have not treated it as such. Based on earlier results from several meta-analyses, we tested for the overlap of visual perspective taking studies with ...

Very preterm birth (VPT; <32 weeks of gestation) has been associated with impairments in memory abilities and functional neuroanatomical brain alterations in medial temporal and fronto-parietal areas. Here we investigated the relationship between structural connectivity in memory-related tracts and various aspects of memory in VPT adults (mean age 19) who sustained differing degrees of perinata...

Particle detectors which will operate at the Large Hadron Collider face unprecedented challenges in both the number of active detector elements and in operating without maintenance in a high radiation environment for many years. In the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector the scintillating crystal electromagnetic calorimeter uses vacuum photodetectors in the endcap where the lifetime neutron an...

Caries results in the demineralization and destruction of enamel dentine, as disease progresses, irreversible pulpitis can occur. Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is directed towards preservation prevention progression inflammation. The outcomes VPT are not always predictable, there often a poor correlation between clinical signs symptoms, events occurring at molecular level. inflamed expresses increas...
