We calculate electromagnetic pion form factors with an analytic model for αs(Q 2) which is infrared (IR) finite. We show that for the asymptotic pion distribution amplitude Fπ0γ∗γ agrees with the data, whereas the IR-enhanced hard contribution to Fπ and the soft part can jointly account for the data. 12.38.Bx, 12.38.Cy, 12.38.Lg, 13.40.Gp Typeset using REVTEX ∗Email: [email protected]...

Corrective midfoot osteotomies involve complete separation of the forefoot and hindfoot through the level of the midfoot, followed by uni-, bi-, or triplanar realignment and arthrodesis. This technique can be performed through various approaches; however, in the high-risk patient, percutaneous and minimum incision techniques are necessary to limit the potential of developing soft tissue injury....

Our group has been developing soft wearable robots (exosuits) made from garment-like, functional textiles to augment healthy individuals carrying heavy loads [1] and to assist individuals who have gait impairments due to hemiparesis following a stroke [2]. We have demonstrated that an ankle-joint assisting robot can reduce the metabolic cost of walking in healthy individuals [3]. In patients po...

Nitriles are strong polar compounds showing a highly non-ideal behavior, which makes them challenging systems from a modeling point of view; in spite of this, accurate predictions for the vapor-liquid equilibria of these systems are needed, as some of them, like acetonitrile (CH3CN) and propionitrile (C2H5CN), play an important role as organic solvents in several industrial processes. This work...

Glandular Odontogenic Cyst (GOC) is a rare developmental cyst of the jaws. The histological features of GOC strongly suggest an origin from the remains of dental lamina. Radiographically, GOC presents as well-defined radiolucencies with uni- or multilocular appearance. A case of GOC in a 54-year-old black female is presented here. Clinical, histological and imaging features were evaluated. Due ...

The complete set of O(α) QED corrections with soft photon exponentiation to the process ep → eX in mixed variables (y = yh, Q 2 = Ql ) is calculated in the quark parton model, including the lepton-quark interference and the quarkonic corrections which were unknown so far. The interference corrections amount to few percent or less and become negligible at small x. The leading logarithmic terms p...

Previously, we demonstrated that renal hemodynamic responses to nitric oxide (NO) inhibition were attenuated in aged, hypertensive sheep born with a solitary functioning kidney (SFK). NO is an important regulator of renal function, particularly, in the postnatal period. We hypothesized that the onset of renal dysfunction and hypertension in individuals with a SFK is associated with NO deficienc...

the concept of soft sets, introduced by molodtsov [20] is a mathematicaltool for dealing with uncertainties, that is free from the difficultiesthat have troubled the traditional theoretical approaches. in this paper, weapply the notion of the soft sets of molodtsov to the theory of hilbert algebras.the notion of soft hilbert (abysmal and deductive) algebras, soft subalgebras,soft abysms and sof...

We show several results about uni ation problems in the equational theory ACUNh onsisting of the theory of ex lusive or with one homomorphism. These results are shown using only te hniques of automata and ombinations of uni ation problems. We show how to onstru t a most-general uni er for ...
