We present a model for the formation of the charmed pentaquark Θc in hard scattering processes such as deep inelastic scattering, e+e− annihilation, and high-energy pp̄ collisions. The model assumes that the cross section for Θc formation is proportional to the rate of production of pD (or p̄D∗+) pairs in close proximity both in momentum space and in coordinate space. The constant of proportional...

BACKGROUND Despite efforts to promote HIV counseling and testing (HCT) among couples, few couples know their own or their partners' HIV status. We assessed trends in HCT uptake among married individuals in Rakai district, southwestern Uganda. METHODS We analysed data for 11,268 married individuals aged 15-49 years who were enrolled into the Rakai Community Cohort Study (RCCS) between 2003 and...

The Elliptic Curve Method (ECM) of factorization can be used in the relation collection phase of the Number Field Sieve (NFS) to help identify smooth integers. This requires rapidly nding small prime factors for a large number of composites, each of a few machine words in size. We present a software implementation of ECM that is optimized for high throughput operation and compare it with recent...

109 patients (62 boys/men and 47 girls/women) suffering from bronchial asthma induced by pollen allergens were typed for HLA-DRB1 and -DQBl alleles, respectively, by a low resolution SSP technique. Frequencies of DRB1 alleles varied from 0.5 % to 16.1 %. The most frequent was HLA-DRB1*11 (16.1 %), the least frequent HLA-DRB1*09 (0.4 %). Occurrence rates of HLA-DQB1 alleles ranged from 2.3 % to ...

We extend our previous results on the wave propagation in a spacetime with a linear electromagnetic spacetime relation to the most general case in which the corresponding constitutive tensor is asymmetric. We find the corresponding Fresnel equation governing the geometry of light rays and show that it is always quartic in the wave covectors. The conditions for the wave covectors to define a sin...

Unlike previous pandemic viruses, the 2009 H1N1 pandemic influenza virus does not code for the virulence factor PB1-F2. The genome of the 2009 H1N1 virus contains three stop codons preventing PB1-F2 expression; however, PB1-F2 production could occur following genetic mutation or reassortment. Thus, it is of great interest to understand the impact that expression of the PB1-F2 protein might have...
