We review some recent progress in our understanding of the lowest-lying spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 baryon magnetic moments (MMs) in terms of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). In particular, we show that at next-to-leading-order ChPT can describe the MMs of the octet baryons quite well. We also make predictions for the decuplet MMs at the same chiral order. Among them, the MMs of the ∆ and ∆ are fou...

The Manufacturing Messaging Specification (MMS) protocol is widely used in industrial process control applications, but it is poorly documented. In this paper we present an analysis of the MMS protocol in order to improve understanding of MMS in the context of information security. Our findings show that MMS has insufficient security mechanisms, and the meagre security mechanisms that are avail...

OBJECTIVES To identify Medicare use rates of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) and surgical excision for the treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) and to identify patient, lesion, and geographic characteristics associated with treatment type. DESIGN A retrospective analysis of Medicare beneficiaries. SETTING Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. PATIENTS Patients under...

We suggest that if the astrophysical site for r-process nucleosynthesis in the early Galaxy is confined to a narrow mass range of Type II supernova (SN II) progenitors, with a lower mass limit of Mms=20 M middle dot in circle, a unique feature in the observed distribution of [Ba/Mg] versus [Mg/H] for extremely metal-poor stars can be adequately reproduced. We associate this feature, a bifurcati...

Much have been said about metadata which is “data about data” used for classification and retrieval of information. However, metadata is not created by itself. This paper will present the design, interface and implementation of our own metadata tool called Metadata Management System, MMS that was developed to facilitate the creation, maintenance and storage of metadata. This metadata tool suppo...

due to its complexity and destructive nature, convection has been subject of many studies and researches among weather phenomena throughout the world. scientists have attempted for decades to generate different types of models to provide the possibility of abating or, at least, reducing convective weather phenomena effects on people’s lives. in south or southwest of iran, people are familiar wi...

Ab&m+--The. petrology and geochemistry of twenty-three chondritic dust particles with masses of l47 pg (sizes 100-400 pm) were recovered from blue ice near Cap Prudhomme, Antarctica, and studied by INAA, ASEM, EMPA, and optical microscopy. Sample selection criteria were irregular shape and (for a subsample) black color, with the aim of stud~ng as many unmelted micrometeo~~s (MI&) as possible. O...

Medicinal plants are still widely used worldwide; yet for some species, little or no information is available concerning their biological activity, specially their genotoxic and antimutagenic potential. Mikania laevigata (Asteraceae) is a native plant from South America, and its extracts are largely used to treat respiratory complaints. The aim of the present work was then to evaluate, in vivo,...

The searches for classical Dirac Magnetic Monopoles (MMs) at accelerators, for GUT superheavy MMs in the penetrating cosmic radiation and for Intermediate Mass MMs at high altitudes are discussed. Also the searches for nuclearites and Q-balls are considered.
