A canonical ensemble algorithm is employed to study the phase diagram of Nf ¼ 3 QCD using lattice simulations. We lock in the desired quark number sector using an exact Fourier transform of the fermion determinant. We scan ...

We review several approaches to optical invisibility designed using transformation optics (TO) and optical conformal mapping (CM) techniques. TO is a general framework for solving inverse scattering problems based on ...

Co-occurrence of HIV and substance abuse is associated with poor outcomes for HIV-related health and substance use. Integration of substance use and medical care holds promise for HIV patients, yet few integrated treatment ...

Cryptococcus neoformans is a common life-threatening human fungal pathogen. The size of cryptococcal cells is typically 5 to 10 mu m. Cell enlargement was observed in vivo, producing cells up to 100 mu m. These morphological ...

A contingent liability is a future spending commitment that is realized with some probability. International organizations emphasize the dangers of contingent liabilities when providing advice. Why? One answer is obvious-if ...

The major cyanogenic glycoside of Guazuma ulmifolia (Sterculiaceae) is (2R)-taxiphyllin (>90%), which co-occurs with (2S)-dhurrin. Few individuals of this species, but occasional other members of the family, have been ...

The isoleucine and valine biosynthetic enzyme acetolactate synthase (1lv2p) is an attractive antifungal drug target, since the isoleucine and valine biosynthetic pathway is not present in mammals, Saccharomyces cerevisiae ...

Thymic graft-versus-host disease (tGVHD) can contribute to profound T cell deficiency and repertoire restriction after allogeneic BM transplantation (allo-BMT). However, the cellular mechanisms of tGVHD and interactions ...
