Vector-Meson-Dominance model contribution to π 0 → 4γ is calculated. The result confirms old estimates that this contribution is much smaller than the purely electromagnetic photon spliting graph contribution calculated earlier. In the framework of the Vector-Meson-Dominance (VMD) model, the decay π 0 → 4γ was considered in [1] and [2]. However, no complete evaluation of the decay width can be ...

Abstract This paper presents a new and general approach, named “Stage- t Scenario Dominance,” to solve the risk-averse multi-stage stochastic mixed-integer programs (M-SMIPs). Given monotonic objective function, our method derives partial ordering of scenarios by pairwise comparing realization uncertain parameters at each time stage under scenario. Specifically, we derive bounds implications fr...

PurposeTo compare the performance of dominant and nondominant hand during fundamental arthroscopic simulator training.MethodsSurgical trainees who participated in a 2-day training course between 2021 2023 were classified, according to their experience beginners competents. Only right-handed individuals with complete data sets included study. Ambidexterity was trained using box trainer (Fundamen...

BACKGROUND Writing is a sequential motor action based on sensorimotor integration in visuospatial and linguistic functional domains. To test the hypothesis of lateralized circuitry concerning spatial and language components involved in such action, we employed an fMRI paradigm including writing and drawing with each hand. In this way, writing-related contributions of dorsal and ventral premotor...

The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the presence of a possible association between handedness and the side of symptom dominance in 963 patients with Parkinson’s disease. In only 287 patients the hand dominance was registered. Out of 254 right-handed patients, 158 (62%) had a right-side dominance of Parkinson symptoms, while 96 patients (38%) had left-lateralised symptom dominance ...

Two inbred strains of Tsukuba Emotionality Rat (THE and TLE) and four hybrids derived from them were observed for ambulatory response in a novel environment as a measure of emotionality. The Runway Test (modified "timidity test") was run for successive three days. Mean transformed (square root) scores of ambulation for generation were subjected to Mendelian cross analysis. Total ambulation scor...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Handedness, or the inherent dominance of one hand's dexterity over the other's, is a factor in open surgery but has an unknown importance in robot-assisted surgery. We sought to examine whether the robotic surgery platform could eliminate the effect of inherent hand preference. METHODS Residents from the Urology and Obstetrics/Gynecology departments were enrolled. Am...
