Pubo-Femoral Distances Measured Reliably by Midwives in Hip Dysplasia Ultrasound
The pubo-femoral distance (PFD) has been suggested as an ultrasound screening tool for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The aim of this study was to examine if midwives undergoing minimal training could reliably perform pediatric hip ultrasound ...

Mass Expansions of Screened Perturbation Theory [PDF]
The thermodynamics of massless phi^4-theory is studied within screened perturbation theory (SPT). In this method the perturbative expansion is reorganized by adding and subtracting a mass term in the Lagrangian. We analytically calculate the pressure and

Dimensional Reduction and Screening Masses in Pure Gauge Theories at Finite Temperature [PDF]
We studied screening masses in the equilibrium thermodynamics of SU(2) and SU(3) pure gauge theories on the lattice. At a temperature of 2 Tc we found strong evidence for dimensional reduction in the non-perturbative spectrum of screening masses.

Mass spectrometry for fragment screening
Fragment-based approaches in chemical biology and drug discovery have been widely adopted worldwide in both academia and industry. Fragment hits tend to interact weakly with their targets, necessitating the use of sensitive biophysical techniques to detect their binding.
