The background field method (BFM) for the Poisson Sigma Model (PSM) is studied as an example of the application of the BFM technique to open gauge algebras. The relationship with Seiberg-Witten maps arising in non-commutative gauge theories is clarified. It is shown that the implementation of the BFM for the PSM in the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism is equivalent to the solution of a generalized ...

In the present paper, we propose a new protocol for a scalable multicast key distribution protocol. The proposed protocol is based on Key Management using Boolean Function Minimization (KM-BFM) technique. It is considered one of the best solutions proposed for solving the scalability of multicast security protocols depending on a centralized manager. Instead of using one tree as in KMBFM, the m...

Lessons from the analysis of children with TCF3-PBX1 ALL could help to identify treatment components essential for this leukemia subtype. Of 859 children with ALL who were treated in ALL-BFM trials in Austria, 31 (3.6%) had a TCF3-PBX1 ALL. The 5-year event-free survival rate for these 31 patients was 90%+/-5%. Patients with TCF3-PBX1 ALL treated on the ALL-BFM 86 trial had a poorer outcome tha...

We present a new computational methodology for the investigation of gel electrophoresis of polyelectrolytes. We have developed the method initially to incorporate sliding motion of tight parts of a polymer pulled by an electric field into the bond fluctuation method (BFM). Such motion due to tensile force over distances much larger than the persistent length is realized by non-local movement of...

We use the bosonization approach to investigate quantum phases of boson-fermion mixtures (BFM) of atoms confined to one dimension by an anisotropic optical lattice. For a BFM with a single species of fermions we find a charge-density wave phase, a fermion pairing phase, and a phase separation regime. We also obtain the rich phase diagram of a BFM with two species of fermions. We demonstrate tha...

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown to reduce body fat mass (BFM) in animals. To investigate the dose-response relationships of conjugated linoleic acid with regard to BFM in humans, a randomized, double-blind study including 60 overweight or obese volunteers (body mass index 25-35 kg/m(2)) was performed. The subjects were divided into five groups receiving placebo (9 g olive oil), 1....

The 50-item International Personality Item Pool version of the Big Five Markers (IPIP-BFM) is an open-source and widely used measure big five personality traits. A short this (IPIP-BFM-25) has been developed using classical test theory approach. No study was performed to examine psychometric properties a longer shorter IPIP-BFM Indonesia modern theory. This aimed evaluate Indonesian as well IPI...

AIM Labor is one of the most painful experiences a woman may face during her lifetime. One of the most effective methods used for eliminating this pain is epidural analgesia. The aim of this study to determine the impact of adding morphine to low-dose bupivacaine epidural anesthesia on labor and neonatal outcomes, and maternal side effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective randomiz...

Introduction. The staff of the Bureau Forensic Medicine (BFM) experience a high microbial load in performance their professional duties, which poses serious health hazard. Cases infectious diseases continue to be recorded among medical personnel BFM, requires prevention infection during activities. process legal regulation BFM activities terms compliance with sanitary and hygienic measures ensu...

Parametric images, showing fully quantitative parameters at the voxel level, can be used to quantify various processes with maximal spatial resolution. Parametric imaging has been validated for myocardial blood flow imaging, but still needs to be extended to other tracers and kinetic models. The aim of this study was to validate parametric images of the reversible one tissue (1T2k) model for [C...
