DEFORMED INSTANTONS [PDF]

CPT and Lorentz Symmetry, 2005
In this talk, instantons are discussed in the presence of Lorentz violation. Conventional topological arguments are applied to classify the modified solutions to the Yang-Mills equations according to the topological charge. Explicit perturbations to the instantons are calculated in detail for the case of unit topological charge.

Cleft and facial deformity foundation (CFDF) outreach model: 6 year experience of an indigenous Nigerian mission in the surgical correction of facial clefts

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2018
INTRODUCTION: Orofacial cleft has a worldwide distribution but it is peculiar in the developing countries due to poor healthcare facility with resultant high incidence of un-operated adult cleft.

On deforming confoliations [PDF]

Journal of Differential Geometry, 2000
The authors present a parabolic deformation of \(1\)-forms on compact, orientable, odd dimensional manifolds. The corresponding flow produces contact forms from the class of initial conditions called ``conductive confoliations''. This technique gives them the possibility to construct contact forms on the product of contact manifolds with surfaces.

Influence of screw density on thoracic kyphosis restoration in hypokyphotic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2017
Background Previous studies have reported that rod composition and diameter, as well as the correction technique are key factors associated with thoracic kyphosis (TK) restoration. However, few study has analyzed the correlation between screw density and
