previous, intravenous immunoglobulin (ivig) has been used for treatment of patients with immunodeficiency. however, recent studies have shown that ivig is a suitable approach for treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. although the exact mechanism of ivig action is not well known, recent findings have demonstrated that ivig impacts on expression and function of fc receptors of immuno...

this paper reviews the current literature examining the pervasive symptom of fatigue experienced in three of the most common degenerative neurological conditions: multiple sclerosis (ms), parkinson’s disease (pd) and post-polio syndrome (pps). the existing literature can be considered under four headings definition and prevalence, type, cause, impact of fatigue. fatigue is a common symptom in d...

The effective field theory with contact interactions alone is a powerful tool to compute low-energy observables for three-body systems with large scattering length. Recent calculations including effective range corrections are discussed and results are presented.

The pionless effective field theory (EFT) is the appropriate low-energy EFT for short-range interactions that display a large scattering length. It has been successfully applied in atomic, nuclear and particle physics. We give an overview over recent calculations employing the pionless effective field theory and lay emphasis on applications in the threeand four-body sector where the most exciti...

We report on the rst reliable numerical results for proton-deuteron elastic scattering observables for energies above the deuteron breakup threshold , for the Paris potential. The calculations have been performed within the screening and renormalisation approach. The theoretical results are compared with experimental data of Sagara et al.

In 1979 Hakimi, Schmeichel and Thomassen proved that in a triangulation with n vertices and no “separating triangles” – that is: no cycle of length 3 such that there are vertices inside as well as outside of the cycle – there are at least n/(log2 n) different hamiltonian cycles. We introduce a new abstract counting technique for hamiltonian cycles in general graphs. This technique is based on a...

In this paper, preparation of SrAl2O4:Eu,Dy luminescent pigment has been investigated. Coprecipitation as a low cost and facile method was selected. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated the formation of SrAl2O4:Eu,Dy phase through calcinations process above 800 °C. Moreover, a few amount of silica caused the structural transformation to alumina silicate phase. Transparent glaze which consist of...
