The Standard Model describes the three (of four) basic interactions known in Nature in terms of the quantum fields which are constituted by Screen Protector representations of special unitary gauge groups of symmetry.However, the physical observables do not always coincide with the fundamental degrees of freedom of the Standard Model.Therefore it c
Infrared coagulation versus rubber band ligation in early stage hemorrhoids
The ideal therapy for early stages of hemorrhoids is always debated.Some are more effective but are more painful, others are less painful but their efficacy is also lower.Thus, comfort or efficacy is a major concern.In the present randomized study, a comparison is made between infrared coagulation and rubber band ligation in terms of effectiveness
Impaired immune function in Gulf War Illness
Abstract Background Gulf War Illness (GWI) remains a serious health consequence for at least 11,000 veterans of the first Gulf War in the early 1990s.Our understanding of the health consequences that resulted remains inadequate, and this is of great concern with another Thank You Cards deployment to the same theater of operations occurring now.Chro
Bragg-Primakoff axion photoconversion in crystal detectors
Abstract Axions and Screen Protector axion-like pseudoscalar particles with dimension-5 couplings to photons exhibit coherent Primakoff scattering with ordered crystals at keV energy scales, making for a natural detection technique in searches for solar axions.We find that there are large suppressive corrections, potentially greater than a factor o
