We compute the energy level displacement of the excited np states of kaonic hydrogen within the quantum field theoretic and relativistic covariant model of strong low–energy K̄N interactions suggested in EPJA 21, 11 (2004). For the width of the energy level of the excited 2p state of kaonic hydrogen, caused by strong low–energy interactions, we find Γ2p = 2meV = 3 × 1012 sec−1. This result is im...

AIM The purpose of the study was to evaluate the differences and factors that are interlinked with mortality rates of the population aged 40-59 years in the subjects of the Russian Federation. MATERIALS AND METHODS To calculate mortality rates used by Rosstat data on population and number of deaths in the age groups 40-59 years among men and women in the regions of Russia, as well as indicato...

Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China and South Africa--the countries known as BRICS--represent some of the world's fastest growing large economies and nearly 40% of the world's population. Over the last two decades, BRICS have undertaken health-system reforms to make progress towards universal health coverage. This paper discusses three key aspects of these reforms: the role of governme...

Geobacillus stearothermophilus strains 22 and 53 were isolated from sediment samples isolated from the Garga hot spring (72°C) located in the valley of the river Barguzin (the Baikal region, Russian Federation) (54°19'3.72″N, 110°59'38.4″E).

In the model of low–energy K̄N interactions near threshold (EPJA 21, 11 (2004); 25, 79 (2005)) we calculate isospin–breaking corrections to the energy level displacement of the ground state of kaonic hydrogen, investigated by Meißner, Raha and Rusetsky (EPJC 35, 349 (2004)) within the non–relativistic effective Lagrangian approach based on ChPT by Gasser and Leutwyler. Our results agree well wit...

We have computed the energy level displacement of the excited np state of kaonic hydrogen within the quantum field theoretic and relativistic covariant model of strong low–energy K̄N interactions suggested in EPJA 21, 11 (2004). For the width of the energy level of the excited 2p state of kaonic hydrogen, caused by strong low–energy interactions, we have got Γ2p = 2meV = 3 × 1012 sec−1. The obta...
