The various relations between q-deformed oscillators algebras and the q-deformed su(2) algebras are discussed. In particular, we exhibit the similarity of the q-deformed su(2) algebra obtained from q-oscillators via Schwinger construction and those obtained from q-Holstein-Primakoff transformation and show how the relation between su √ q (2) and Hong Yan q-oscillator can be regarded as an speci...

(To Appear) Stochastic Calculus for Brownian Motion on a Brownian Fracture By Davar Khoshnevisan* & Thomas M. Lewis University of Utah & Furman University Abstract. The impetus behind this work is a pathwise development of stochastic integrals with respect to iterated Brownian motion. We also provide a detailed analysis of the variations of iterated Brownian motion. These variations are linked ...

Pelvic fractures occur commonly in side impact automotive crashes (Gokcen et al., 1994). Women are more frequently injured (Lewis et al., 1996), leading automotive researchers to re-focus on women’s safety in side impacts. There is, however, a paucity of biomechanical data for the human female pelvis with the currently accepted fracture tolerance of 4.26 kN based upon extrapolations from impact...

OBJECTIVES Complicated fracture healing is often associated with the severity of surrounding muscle tissue trauma. Since inflammation is a primary determinant of musculoskeletal health and regeneration, it is plausible that delayed healing and non-unions are partly caused by compounding local inflammation in response to concomitant muscle trauma. METHODS AND RESULTS To investigate this possib...

For a century now, "Lewis dots" have been a mainstay of chemical thinking, teaching and communication. However, chemists have assumed that this semi-classical picture of electrons needs to be abandoned for quantitative work, and the recourse in computational simulations has been to the extremes of first principles treatments of electrons on the one hand and force fields that avoid explicit elec...

Background: It seems that there are similar associated diseases in psoriasis and Lewis (b) negative phenotypes such as diabetesmellitus, cardiovascular events, and metabolic syndrome. Therefore, we decided to evaluate the frequency of Lewis henotypes in patients with chronic plaque type psoriasis. A limited number of studies have been previously conducted in this regard.Methods: Fifty patients ...

We compared diurnal patterns of vaginal temperature in lactating cows under grazing conditions to evaluate genotype effects on body temperature regulation. Genotypes evaluated were Holstein, Jersey, Jersey x Holstein and Swedish Red x Holstein. The comparison of Holstein and Jersey versus Jersey x Holstein provided a test of whether heterosis effects body temperature regulation. Cows were fitte...

The world is going through the debate on hazardous effects of consumption of A1 milk on human health by producing of hazardous chemical compound like beta casomorphin-7 and how this is not the case with A2. The aim of the present study was to genotype the existing population of crossbred Holstein-Friesian (HF) cattle for polymorphism in â-Casein gene (CSN2) using PCR-RFLP technique. Total of 47...

First-parity Holstein (H), Normande-Holstein (NxH) crossbred, Montbeliarde-Holstein (MxH) crossbred and Scandinavian-Holstein (SxH) crossbred cows calving from June 2001 to December 2003 were compared for dystocia and stillbirths from seven California herds. Dystocia scores ranging from 1 (no assistance) to 5 (hard pull) and stillbirths (1 for alive and 0 for dead) were recorded for 1695 Holste...

The deleterious impact of concomitant muscle injury on fracture healing and limb function is commonly considered part of the natural sequela of orthopedic trauma. Recent reports suggest that heightened inflammation in the surrounding traumatized musculature is a primary determinant of fracture healing. Relatedly, there are emerging potential therapeutic approaches for severe muscle trauma (e.g....
