The strange-quark distribution [PDF]
We discuss the latest CCFR determination of the strange sea density of the proton. We comment on the differences with a previous, leading--order, result and point out the relevance of quark mass effects and current non--conservation effects. By taking them into account it is possible to solve the residual discrepancy with another determination of the ...

Quark Matter May Not Be Strange [PDF]
If quark matter is energetically favored over nuclear matter at zero temperature and pressure then it has long been expected to take the form of strange quark matter (SQM), with comparable amounts of $u$, $d$, $s$ quarks. The possibility of quark matter with only $u$, $d$ quarks ($ud$QM) is usually dismissed because of the observed stability of ...

Boiling of strange-quark matter [PDF]
Boiling of strange-quark matter is studied assuming baryon chemical equilibrium between a quark phase described by the bag model, and a hadron phase described by Walecka's mean-field theory. Boiling of quark nuggets at high temperatures is shown to be much less efficient than previously believed. Thus quark nuggets with large baryon numbers may survive

The crystallography of strange quark matter [PDF]
Cold three-flavor quark matter at large (but not asymptotically large) densities may exist as a crystalline color superconductor. We explore this possibility by calculating the gap parameter Delta and free energy Omega(Delta) for possible crystal structures within a Ginzburg-Landau approximation, evaluating Omega(Delta) to order Delta^6.

Searching for strange quark planets
Strange quark matter (SQM) may be the true ground state of matter. According to this SQM hypothesis, the observed neutron stars actually should all be strange quark stars. But distinguishing between neutron stars and strange quark stars by means of obser- vations is extremely difficult.

Strange Quarks and Lattice QCD [PDF]
The last few years have seen a dramatic improvement in our knowledge of the strange form factors of the nucleon. With regard to the vector from factors the level of agreement between theory and experiment gives us considerable confidence in our ability to calculate with non-perturbative QCD.

Eating Experiences of Patients With Cancer in the Hospital - A Qualitative Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Enjoying food is related to the taste, smell and texture of food, ambience during meals, presentation of the meals, and freedom to choose meals. A decrease in food enjoyment can lead to decreased food intake, undesired weight loss, and reduced quality of life. Cancer and cancer treatment can induce symptoms that affect food

New mass limit of a strange star admitting a colour flavor locked equation of state
A class of strange stars is analysed in the present article in hydrostatic equilibrium, whose state is defined by a CFL phase equation of state. We have compared our results with those obtained from the MIT equation of state for strange quark matter ...
