We analyze the data of the Gamma-Ray Burst/Supernova GRB030329/SN2003dh system obtained by HETE-2 (gcn [1]), R-XTE (gcn [2]), XMM (Tiengo et al. [3]) and VLT (Hjorth et al. [4]) within our theory (Ruffini et al. [5] and references therein) for GRB030329. By fitting the only three free parameters of the EMBH theory, we obtain the luminosity in fixed energy bands for the prompt emission and the a...

purpose: to compare the results of two different methods of frontalis suspension using fascia lata in congenital ptosis. methods: in a randomized clinical trial, double triangle sling was compared with single triangle sling using fascia lata. eight patients with unilateral and 11 patients with bilateral congenital ptosis were randomly assigned for each procedure. results: there was no statistic...

Distributions of growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) in the periodontal ligament and dental pulp of adult rats were studied by light and electron microscopy. The mature periodontal ligament and dental pulp contained numerous GAP-43-positive neural elements, comprising periodontal Ruffini endings and thin nerve fibers, but expression patterns differed among the kinds of nerves. In the periodon...

A triangle {a(n, k)}0≤k≤n of nonnegative numbers is LC-positive if for each r, the sequence of polynomials ∑n k=r a(n, k)q k is q-log-concave. It is double LC-positive if both triangles {a(n, k)} and {a(n, n − k)} are LC-positive. We show that if {a(n, k)} is LC-positive then the log-concavity of the sequence {xk} implies that of the sequence {zn} defined by zn = ∑n k=0 a(n, k)xk, and if {a(n, ...

This paper proposes a new method for designing the polynomial-interpolation-type noninteger-delay filter with a new structure formulation. Since the design formulation and the new realization structure are based on the discrete Pascal transform (DPT) and Pascal interpolation, we call the resulting filter Pascal noninteger-delay filter. The kth-order Pascal polynomial is used to pass through the...

In 1975, following the work on the energetics of black holes, Damour and Ruffini pointed out the existence of the vacuum polarization process à là Sauter–Heisenberg–Euler–Schwinger around black holes endowed with electromagnetic structure (EMBHs), whose electric field strength exceeds the Schwinger critical value Ec = m 2 e c e~ , where c is the speed of light, e and me are electron charge and ...
