Double-heavy tetraquark states with heavy diquark-antiquark symmetry * [PDF]
We make a calculation on the masses of the $QQ\bar{q}\bar{q}$ ($Q=c,b$; $q=u,d,s$) tetraquark states with the help of heavy diquark-antiquark symmetry (HDAS) and the chromomagnetic interaction (CMI) model.

Short-range airborne route dominates exposure of respiratory infection during close contact
A susceptible person experiences the highest exposure risk of respiratory infection when he or she is in close proximity with an infected person. The large droplet route has been commonly believed to be dominant for most respiratory infections since the ...

Performance of D-dimer for predicting sepsis mortality in the intensive care unit
Introduction The prognostic value of D-dimer (DD) in sepsis remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the performance of DD for predicting sepsis mortality in the hospital and for identifying its potential correlates.

AAPM's TG-51 protocol for clinical reference dosimetry of high-energy photon and electron beams.
A protocol is prescribed for clinical reference dosimetry of external beam radiation therapy using photon beams with nominal energies between 60Co and 50 MV and electron beams with nominal energies between 4 and 50 MeV.

Electric Dipole Moment of the Neutron from 2+1 Flavor Lattice QCD. [PDF]
We compute the electric dipole moment d(n) of the neutron from a fully dynamical simulation of lattice QCD with 2+1 flavors of clover fermions and nonvanishing θ term.
