We develop the notion of " broad-band equilibration " in heavy-ion processes involving dense medium. Given density-dependent K −-masses we show that the equilibration at GSI energies claimed to hold in previous treatments down to ∼ ρ 0 /4, can be replaced by a broad-band equilibration in which the K −-meson and hyperons are produced in an essentially constant ratio independent of density. There...

abstract background: the process of medical education is stressful and medical students are at risk of psychological problems. in addition to the normal stressors of everyday life, medical students must deal with stresses specific to medical school. the aim of this study was to assess mental health in senior medical students and residents. methods: this cross-sectional study included 100 senior...

Various mechanisms in flowering plants have evolved to prevent the tendency of self-fertilization created by close proximity of male and female reproductive organs in a perfect flower. One such mechanism, called self-incompatibility (SI), allows the pistil of a plant to reject self pollen or pollen from genetically related individuals, thus preventing inbreeding and promoting outcrosses. Geneti...

In 2000 three Carbon beam blocks were used to treat 32 patients suffering from skull base tumors such as chordomas, chondrosarcomas, adenoid cystic carcinomas and other less frequent indications. Partially these ongoing clinical trials have reached phase II level. In total 73 patients have been treated within this experimental programme and the overwhelming part of treatments had a curative int...

Heavy-ion experiments at GSI cover nuclear and atomic physics, related basic and applied research in plasma physics and material science as well as biophysics including tumor therapy with carbon ions. After low-energy sections, the heavy-ion synchrotron (SIS) provides pulsed, cooled ion beams up to 2 GeV/amu of beam intensities up to 10 ions/spill. All kind of ions from protons with Z=1 to U io...

We argue that both K + and K − must get lighter in dense medium at some density ρ > ρ 0 due to the decoupling of the vector mesons. This modifies significantly the strangeness equilibration as well as kaon condensation scenarios hitherto put forward in the literature. We note that the claimed equilibration density at GSI energies, ∼ ρ 0 /4 – which is much too low – results from a baryon chemica...

Preparation of geographic metadata and development of geographic data clearinghouses take a very important role to promote dissemination of Geographic data. We would like to introduce GSI’s activity to develop the clearinghouse, according with ISO23950 and Japan Metadata Profile ( JMP ) for the first time in Japan. ISO23950 is an international standard concerned with information search and retr...

In this work we present a new class of numerical semigroups called GSI-semigroups. We see the relations between them and others families give explicitly their set gaps. Moreover, an algorithm to obtain all GSI-semigroups up given Frobenius number is provided realization positive integers as numbers studied.

Abstract Objectives Notch is a conserved pathway involved in cell-fate determination and homeostasis. Its dysregulation plays role poor prognosis drug resistance breast cancer. Targeting signaling via inhibition of the gamma-secretase complex spotlight modern cancer treatments. Gamma-secretase inhibitors (GSI) have shown successful clinical activity treating cancers, yet possible mechanism rema...
