The Spine Instability Neoplastic Score SINS is a very important tool; it helps clinicians in identifying when patients with neoplastic disease of the spine should benefit from surgical consultation [2]. The treatment strategy algorithm of Paton et al. [3](LMNOP), evaluates the number of spinal Levels involved and the Location of disease in the spine (L), Mechanical instability (M), Neurology (N...

Non-perturbative effects are studied for Type I strings on the Z3 orbifold with Chan-Paton symmetry broken by Wilson lines. Generalizing previous analyses that have focussed on (bi)fundamentals, it is argued that (anti)symmetric representations of the resulting gauge group play a decisive role in generating an ADS-like superpotential in this and related cases. Non-perturbative corrections in th...

Four-dimensional supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on a sphere has highly charged baryon-like states built from anti-symmetric combinations of the adjoint scalars. We show that these states, which are equivalently described as holes in a free fermi sea of a reduced matrix model, are D-branes. Their excitations are stringlike and effectively realize Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions...

The Burau representation is a natural action of the braid group Bn on the free Z[t; t−1]{module of rank n−1. It is a longstanding open problem to determine for which values of n this representation is faithful. It is known to be faithful for n = 3. Moody has shown that it is not faithful for n 9 and Long and Paton improved on Moody’s techniques to bring this down to n 6. Their construction uses...

The origins of the initial mutations in sporadic retinoblastoma were explored using polymorphic markers from chromosome 13q. The paternal chromosome was maintained in 3 of 3 informative bilateral tumors which had undergone reduction to homozygosity for regions of this chromosome. The paternal chromosome was maintained in 7 of 8 informative unilateral tumors which likewise demonstrated a reducti...

In their analysis of a representative sample from the Prescribing Observatory for Mental Health in the UK health services, Paton et al found that 92% of patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) received prescriptions for psychotropic medications. Although international guidelines recommend pharmacotherapy for comorbid psychiatric disorders whenever necessary, 82% of the UK BPD patien...

The string theory on symmetric product describes the second-quantized string theory. The development for the bosonic open string was discussed in the previous work.[1] In this paper, we consider the open superstring theory on the symmetric product and examine the nature of the second quantization. The fermionic partition functions are obtained from the consistent fermionic extension of the twis...

The E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the NAS of Ukraine together with other organizations of Ukraine develops portable X-ray television equipment capable to perform digital processing of testing results. Radioscopic (on notebook screen) as well as radiographic images in hard copy or other forms can be made using it. Today, flash-memory compatible with any computer became popular carrier...

JOURNAL OF PACIFIC RIM PSYCHOLOGY Volume 3, Issue 1 pp. 27–37 Address for correspondence: Douglas Paton, School of Psychology, University of Tasmania, Launceston TAS 7250, Australia. E-mail: [email protected] Throughout the world, many coastal communities, especially those around the Pacific Rim, face the threat of experiencing loss and devastation from tsunami. In areas susceptible to ...
