The hypertriton structure is studied in a three-body model. We use a recently developed method to solve the Faddeev equations in coordinate space. The long distances are treated carefully to achieve convergence and high accuracy. We use several sets of two-body interactions which reproduce the deuteron properties and provide the low-energy Λ-nucleon scattering data close to that of two of Nijme...

We examined the effect of dietary energy density change on body weight in participants of a randomized trial. Intervention participants markedly increased fruit and vegetable intake while reducing energy intake from fat. Participants were 2,718 breast cancer survivors, aged 26-74 yr, with baseline mean body mass index of 27.3 kg/m(2) (SD = 6.3). We assessed dietary intake by sets of four 24-h d...

We analyze microscopic many-body calculations of the nuclear symmetry energy and its density dependence. The calculations are performed in the framework of the Brueckner–Hartree–Fock and the Self– Consistent Green’s Functions methods. Within Brueckner–Hartree–Fock, the Hellmann–Feynman theorem gives access to the kinetic energy contribution as well as the contributions of the different componen...

We present a three-body formalism describing the final-state interaction effects in the pp → ppη reaction close to threshold. We derive a three-body enhancement factor devised in such a way that all three pair-wise interactions are regarded on equal footing. The enhancement factor is obtained by expanding the three-particle wave function in hyperspherical harmonics. It has been shown that close...

While body weight is essentially determined by the balance of energy intake and energy consumption, it is not necessarily the case that changes in daily food intakes and exercise directly reflect changes in body weight. In recent years, it has been revealed that numerous metabolic interactions between organs, which are organized by the brain, function as a feedback mechanism, and are involved i...
