The Audio Paper as Affective Attunements : Thinking, Producing and Listening

With the recent project and publication ‘Fluid Sounds’ (2015-2016) the authors suggested a new format of academic publication named ‘Audio Papers’. The present article wish to develop the audio paper format as a reflective movement in which philosophical, aesthetic and practical attributes are considered.As suggested in Groth & Samson, 2016, the audio paper is an aesthetic academic practice wo

Factors affecting knee abduction during weight-bearing activities in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Objective: To investigate if muscle strength and muscle activation patterns are associated with increased knee abduction during two functional tasks, commonly used in rehabilitation for individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Laboratory. Participants: 24 women and 29 men approximately 7 months after ACLR. Main outcome measures: Iso

Two-point functions at two loops in three flavour chiral perturbation theory *

The vector and axial-vector two-point functions are calculated to next-to-next-to-leading order in Chiral Perturbation Theory for three light flavours. We also obtain expressions at the same order for the masses, m2 π, m2 Κ and m2 η, and the decay constants, Fπ, FΚ and Fη. We present some numerical results after a simple resonance estimate of some of the new O(p6) constants.

A parametrization for K+ → π+π-e+ν

We discuss various models and chiral perturbation theory results for the K14 form factors F and G. We check to what extent a simple parametrization with a few parameters can be used to extract information from experiment.

Obtaining K → ππ from off-shell K → π amplitudes

We properly define off-shell K → π transition amplitudes and use them to extract information for on-shell K → ππ amplitudes within Chiral Perturbation Theory. At order p2 in the chiral expansion all three parameters of weak interaction can be determined. At order p4 we are able to fix eleven additional constants out of thirteen contributing to off-shell K → π transitions, which leaves four undeter

π → lνγ form factors at two-loop

Within Chiral Perturbation Theory (CHPT) we compute the form factors A, V and γ = A/V in the π → lνγ decay to O(p6). A and γ obtain corrections of order 25%.

Validity of chiral perturbation theory for K0-K0 mixing

Chiral perturbation theory relates the |S|=2 matrix element K0|(sd)V-A×(sd)V-A|K0 to the |S|=1 matrix element +0|(sd)V-A(uu)V-A+(su)V- A×(ud)V-A-(sd)V-A(dd)V-A|K+. The latter matrix element is measured in K++0 decay and the former matrix element is relevant for the predictions that the standard model makes for CP nonconservation in K0-K0 mixing. In this paper the corrections of order mK4 lnmK2 to

A model for granite evolution based on non-equilibrium magma separation : evidence from the Gharib and Qattar fluorite-bearing granites, Eastern Desert, Egypt

We present 77 new granite whole-rock analyses from the Qattar and Gharib areas, Eastern Desert, Egypt. Both areas include a “normal” granite and either a hypersolvus (Gharib) or an almost plagioclase-free granite (Qattar) enriched in fluorite. According to earlier results, F influences element distribution in granitic melts forming complexes with specific elements as Nb, Ta, Ga, Hf, Th, Zn, Sn, w

Focal traumatic brain injury induces neuroplastic molecular responses in lumbar spinal cord

Background/Objectives: Motor impairment induced by traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be mediated through changes in spinal molecular systems regulating neuronal plasticity. We assessed whether a focal controlled cortical impact (CCI) TBI in the rat alters expression of the Tgfb1, c-Fos, Bdnf, and Gap43 neuroplasticity genes in lumbar spinal cord. Approach/Methods: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (n

Secondary nucleation and elongation occur at different sites on Alzheimer's amyloid-b aggregates

The aggregates of the Ab peptide associated with Alzheimer's disease are able to both grow in size aswell as generate, through secondary nucleation, new small oligomeric species, that are major cytotoxins associated with neuronal death. Despite the importance of these amyloid fibril-dependent processes, their structural and molecular underpinnings have remained challenging to elucidate. Here, we c

A novel missense variant in IDH3A causes autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa

Background: Inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs) encompass a wide spectrum of genetic ocular diseases characterized by considerable genetic and clinical heterogeneity. Methods: Complete ophthalmic examination and next-generation sequencing. Results: We describe a patient with no family history of vision loss, who at the age of 28 years developed visual impairment consistent with a severe form of

Species of Horismenus Walker (Hymenoptera : Eulophidae) associated with bruchid beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae), including five new species

Species of Horismenus Walker associated with bruchid beetles are investigated and five new species are described. Some of the new species are very similar to already described species and have previously been misidentified. The new species include H. depressoides sp. nov. similar to H. depressus Gahan, H. stator sp. nov. similar to H. missouriensis (Ashmead), and H. dennoi & H. multistriatus s

Evaluation of the Swedish National Stroke Campaign : A population-based time-series study

Background: Time delay from stroke onset to hospital arrival is an important obstacle to recanalization therapy. To increase knowledge about stroke symptoms and potentially reduce delayed hospital arrival, a 27-month national public information campaign was conducted in Sweden. Aim: To assess the effects of a national stroke campaign in Sweden. Methods: This nationwide study included 97,840 patien
