The understanding of the intermolecular pair potential is important for determining the physical andchemical properties of the matter. The new data for noble gasses was calculated with Soft-CoreDouble Yukawa Potential (SCDY). We studied the effect of the Soft- Core potential on the phasebehavior with Hartree-Fock-Dispersion (HFD) Potential. This model had a steep repulsionexponential term and d...

Neural network is one of the new soft computing methods commonly used for prediction of the thermodynamic properties of pure fluids and mixtures. In this study, we have used this soft computing method to predict the coefficients of the Antoine vapor pressure equation. Three transfer functions of tan-sigmoid (tansig), log-sigmoid (logsig), and linear were used to evaluate the performance of diff...

The infection caused by non-b-type Haemophilus influenzae has been increasing in this Hib (H.influenzae serotype b) vaccination era. H.influenzae serotype f (Hif) is considered as one of those emerging pathogens. In general, H.influenzae is a common pathogen of such as pneumonia, otitis media, and meningitis, but is rare in soft tissue infection, especially at the extremity. We report a rare ca...

Distraction osteogenesis is extensively used for the elongation of hypoplastic mandibles in children, yet the soft tissue profile response to this is not well understood. The pre- and posttreatment lateral cephalometric radiographs of 27 pediatric patients who underwent bilateral mandibular elongation using distraction osteogenesis were analyzed retrospectively to correlate horizontal soft tiss...

OBJECTIVES To determine whether soft tissue augmentation prior to block grafting will minimize post-block grafting soft tissue complications. METHODS This longitudinal controlled pilot study was conducted at the Faculty of Dentistry, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from October 2010 to January 2013. Fourteen sites requiring block grafting were divided into 2 groups:...

With a consistent definition of transverse-momentum-dependent(TMD) light-cone wave function of B-meson, we show that the amplitude of the radiative leptonic B-Decay can be factorized at one-loop level as a convolution with the wave function and a perturbative coefficient function, combined with a soft factor. In this TMD factorization, the transverse momenta of partons in the B-meson are taken ...

We carried out spectroscopic and photometric observations of the candidate black-hole binary GX 339?4 during its low-hard and high-soft X-ray states. We have found that the emission lines from GX 339?4 have asymmetric, apparently round-topped prooles in the low-hard state (1997 May), and double-peaked prooles in the high-soft state (1998 April and August). Our data do not show obvious velocity ...

In this talk, we address the possibility of finding supersymmetry through indirect searches in the K and B systems. We prove that, in the absence of the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa phase, a general Minimal Supersym-metric Standard Model with all possible phases in the soft–breaking terms, but no new flavor structure beyond the usual Yukawa matrices, can never give a sizeable contribution to εK, ε...

Recently, we have derived light-cone sum rules for exclusive B-meson decays into light energetic hadrons from correlation functions within soft-collinear effective theory [1]. In these sum rules the short-distance scale refers to “hard-collinear” interactions with virtualities of order ΛQCDmb. Hard scales (related to virtualities of order mb) are integrated out and enter via external coefficien...

The elaboration of type-specific capsular antigens by group B streptococci can be demonstrated by the serum-soft agar technique. Group B streptococci isolated from bovine mastitis, namely, strains 9F, 14Mi, 8Mo, 44B, and 4S, were shown to form diffuse and compact types of colony morphology in serum-soft agar. Immunochemical and chemical analyses of antigens isolated from diffuse and compact col...
