The PANDA detector at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) is currently being constructed in Darmstadt, Germany. It contains a fixed proton target an antiproton beam with momentum range between 1.5 GeV/c to 15 GeV/c. Two Cherenkov detectors are used identify charged hadrons. Disc DIRC (EDD) covers polar angles 5° 22° endcap region. In order test performance of EDD prototyp...

Introduction: Pulmonary involvement secondary to Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in SSc patients. We designed this study to determine the correlation of important lung function parameters with lung High Resolution CT (HRCT) scan findings. Materials and Methods: Thirty–two consecutive diffuse SSc patients with pulmonary fibrosis were enrolled in this cross...

ABSTRACT According to theory, the torus of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is sustained from a wind coming off accretion disc, and for low efficient AGN, it has been proposed that such structure disappears. However, exact conditions its disappearance remain unclear. This can be studied throughout reflection component at X-rays, which associated with distant neutral material inner walls in obscured...

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that interval sprint training (IST) selectively increases endothelium-dependent dilation (EDD) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase and/or superoxide dismutase-1 protein content in arteries and/or arterioles that perfuse the white portion of rat gastrocnemius muscle (WG). Male Sprague-Dawley rats completed 10 wk of IST (n = 62) or remained s...

We study stability of solutions of the Cauchy problem for the Hunter–Saxton equation ut + uux = 14 ( R x −∞ u 2 x dx− R∞ x ux dx) with initial data u0. In particular, we derive a new Lipschitz metric dD with the property that for two solutions u and v of the equation we have dD(u(t), v(t)) ≤ edD(u0, v0).
