Noncommutative (deformed, quantum) spaces are deformations of the usual commutative space-time. They depend on parameters, such that for certain values of parameters they become the usual space-time. The symmetry acting on them is given in terms of a deformed quantum group symmetry. In this work we discuss two special examples, the θ-deformed space and the κ-deformed space. In the case of the θ...

In the framework of Lagrangian formulation, some q-deformed physical systems are considered. The q-deformed Legendre transformation is obtained for the free motion of a non-relativistic particle on a quantum line. This is subsequently exploited to obtain the Lagrangians for the q-deformed harmonic oscillator and q-deformed relativistic free particle. The Euler-Lagrange equations of motion are d...

The star product technique translates the framework of local fields on noncommutative space–time into nonlocal fields on standard space– time. We consider the example of fields on κ– deformed Minkowski space, transforming under κ–deformed Poincaré group with noncommutative parameters. By extending the star product to the tensor product of functions on κ–deformed Minkowski space and κ-deformed P...

Methods We report the observations of two boys of age 5 and 11 formerly diagnosed with common food allergens. A secondary sensitization to pine nuts appears in skin prick tests using a commercial extract (Stallergènes, Antony, France). Specific serum IgE test (CAP-FEIA f253 Phadia) were performed. Because it was impossible to precise the consumption of pine nuts (anamnesis not informative enoug...

The leaves, nuts and sarcotesta of Ginkgo biloba L. (Ginkgoaceae) are used in China not only for medical purposes, but also in ‘health foods’ and cosmetics. Cases of allergic contact dermatitis caused by ginkgo leaves, fruits and nuts have been previously reported (1–3), including occupational contact dermatitis in Central Europe (1). We report a case of allergic contact dermatitis caused by G....

Recent epidemiologic studies assessing tree nut (almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, and walnuts) consumption and the association with nutrient intake and diet quality are lacking. This study determined the association of tree nut consumption and nutrient intake and diet quality using a nationally representative sample of adults. Adults 19+ y...

OBJECTIVE The Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea (PREDIMED) trial showed that a Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) supplemented with either extra virgin olive oil or 30 g/d of mixed nuts reduced incident cardiovascular events compared with a control (low fat) diet. The mechanisms of cardiovascular protection afforded by MedDiets remain to be uncovered. We assessed the effect of both supplemented MedDi...
