background and aims: virus-like particles (vlps) have been suggested to be a promising recombinant vaccine approach. several studies have reported that the influenza vlps produced in insect cells is an effective vaccine candidate. due to crucial role of matrix m1 protein in assembly and budding of influenza particles, in all vlps structures, m1 protein have been considered as a main component. ...

The QCD sector of the system SANC is presented. QCD theoretical predictions for several processes of high energy interactions of fundamental particles at the one-loop precision level for up to some 3and 4-particle processes are implemented.

We propose a computable Galois-connection between, on the one hand, Cattell’s 16-Personality-Factor (16PF) Profiles, one of the most comprehensive and widely-used personality measures for non-psychiatric populations and their containing PsychEval Personality Profiles (PPPs) for psychiatric populations, and, on the other hand, Szondi’s personality profiles (SPPs), a less well-known but, as we sh...

Why some strains of a species exhibit a certain phenotype (e.g. drug resistant) but not the other strains of the same species is a critical question to answer. Studying the metabolism of the two groups of strains may discover the corresponding pathways that are conserved in the first group but not in the second group. However, only a few tools provide functions to compare two groups of metaboli...

These proceedings summarize lectures that were delivered as part of the 2002 and 2003 Theoretical Advanced Study Institutes in elementary particle physics (TASI) at the University of Colorado at Boulder. They are intended to provide a pedagogical introduction to cosmology aimed at advanced graduate students in particle physics and string theory.

Symmetries and conservation laws have both played a vital part in the development of the Standard Model in the 20 century, and discoveries of symmetry violations have helped to propel elementary particle physics forward to the theory we have today. In this essay I attempt to introduce both the historical and theoretical background to this most important concept in particle physics, as well as g...

We have carried out a direct search in bulk matter for free fractional electric charge elementary particles using the largest mass single sample ever studied-about 17.4 mg of silicone oil. The search used an improved and highly automated Millikan oil drop technique. No evidence for fractional charge particles was found. The concentration of particles with fractional charge more than 0. 16e ( e ...

An InSb Schottky detector, fabricated from an undoped InSb wafer with Hall mobility which is higher than those of previously employed InSb wafers, was used for alpha particle detection. The output pulse of this InSb detector showed a very fast rise time, which was comparable with the output pulses of scintillation detectors.
