Metal allergy is categorized as a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction, and is characterized by the recruitment of lymphocytes into sites of allergic inflammation. Because of the unavailability of suitable animal models for metal allergy, the role of T cells in the pathogenesis of metal allergy has not been explored. Thus, we developed a novel mouse model for metal allergy associated with inf...

The process − − → 3 He(e, e ′ n) is theoretically analyzed with the aim to search for sensitivity to the electric form factor of the neutron, G n E. Faddeev calculations based on five high precision nucleon-nucleon force models are employed and stability versus exchange of the nucleon-nucleon forces is demonstrated. 1 In a recent paper [1] we investigated the sensitivity of the process − − → 3 ...

The processes − − → 3 He(e, e ′) and − − → 3 He(e, e ′ n) are theoretically analyzed with the aim to search for sensitivities in the electric form factor of the neutron, G n E. Faddeev calculations based on the high precision NN force AV18 and using consistent MEC's are employed. While the inclusive process is too insensitive, the semi-exclusive one appears promising.

The low-momentum effective interaction Vlow k has been formulated in the threedimensional momentum-helicity representation as a function of the magnitude of momentum vectors and the angle between them. As an application AV18 potential has been used into the model space Lee-Suzuki method and it has been shown that the low-momentum effective interaction Vlow k reproduces the same two-body observa...

Faddeev calculations have been performed for nucleon-deuteron photodisin-tegration of 3 He (3 H) and proton-deuteron radiative capture. The bulk of the results is based on the AV18 nucleon-nucleon force and the Urbana IX three-nucleon force together with explicit exchange currents or applying the Siegert approach. Three-nucleon force effects are predicted for both processes and supported by mos...

The astrophysical S factor for the proton weak capture on He is calculated with correlated-hypersphericalharmonics bound and continuum wave functions corresponding to realistic Hamiltonians consisting of the Argonne v14 or Argonne v18 two-nucleon and Urbana-VIII or Urbana-IX three-nucleon interactions. The nuclear weak charge and current operators have vector and axial-vector components that in...

The elastic phase shifts for the α + α and α + He collisions are calculated in a cluster approach by the Generator Coordinate Method coupled with the Microscopic R-matrix Method. Two interactions are derived from the realistic Argonne potentials AV8’ and AV18 with the Unitary Correlation Operator Method. With a specific adjustment of correlations on the α + α collision, the phase shifts for the...
