Abstract A feasibility study has been performed in order to investigate the performance of HADES detector measure electromagnetic decays hyperon resonances $$\Sigma (1385)^{0}$$ ? ( 1385 ) 0 , $$\...

Requirements analysis usually results into a set of different specifications for the same system, which must be integrated. Integration involves elimination of discrepancies completion and validation and proceeds in stages of analysis and synthesis. Realizing that discrepancies between specifications may be due to differences in representation models and/or modeling perspectives and practices, ...

The city of Salvador has the highest prevalence of HTLV-I among blood donors in Brazil. To study the prevalence of HTLV-I among the general population of Salvador, 30 "sentinel surveillance areas" were selected for the investigation of various infectious diseases, and 1385 individuals within these areas were surveyed according to a simple random sample procedure. ELISA was used to screen plasma...

We evaluate the antikaon spectral density in isospin symmetric nuclear matter. The in-medium antikaon-nucleon scattering process and the antikaon propagation is treated in a self consistent and relativistic manner where a maximally schemeindependent formulation is derived by performing a partial density resummation in terms of the free-space antikaon-nucleon scattering amplitudes. The latter am...

The FOPI Collaboration performed a high statistic experiment to study the strangeness production in Al+Al collisions at 1.9A GeV. The high statistics data (300 million of events) allow the reconstruction of the Σ(1385) hyperon resonance at SIS energies for the first time. This measurement corresponds to sub-threshold production since the threshold beam energy for Σ∗ production in the elementary...

OBJECTIVE The direct trocar technique is an alternative to Veress needle insertion and open laparoscopy for accessing the abdominal cavity for operative laparoscopy. We review our approach to abdominal entry in 1385 laparoscopies performed between September 1993 and June 2000 by our group at Stanford University Hospital, a tertiary Medical Center. METHODS We performed a retrospective chart re...
