Yet, such evolution from a theme park to a resort had posed new challenges for the executive team of Port Aventura. In particular, whereas as a resort the commercial activity had f...

Effect of 635nm Low-level Laser Therapy on Upper Arm Circumference Reduction

Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of low-level laser therapy as a noninvasive method for reducing upper arm circumference. Design: Randomized, double-blind study whereby healthy subjects (N=40) with a body mass index of 20 to 35kg/m received three 20-minute low-level laser therapy (N=20) or sham treatments (N=20) each week for two weeks. Measurements: Upper arm circumference was meas...

Center Vortices

We review recent progress in understanding the center-vortex picture of con nement for SU(N). A notable development is the spectacular con rmation on the lattice of center-vortex predictions for topological con nement and the area law in the fundamental-representation Wilson loop. Recent theoretical progress includes: large-N scaling, the heavy-quark potential for SU(3) baryons, the breakable \...
