Higher partial wave contamination in finite-volume 1-to-2 transitions by M. T. Hansen, T. Peterken

“…Using the general framework for 1 → J 2 $$ 1\overset{\mathcal{J}}{\to }2 $$ transitions derived in ref. [1], we quantify the effect of higher partial waves for systems with zero and non-zero total momentum as well as with anti-periodic boundary conditions, presenting both generic numerical examples and results for realistic ππ amplitudes taken from chiral perturbation theory and dispersive analysis. We also consider the accidental degeneracy occurring in the 8th excited state of the zero-momentum system. …”

Initial validation of the powered mobility device autonomy residential screen (PoMoDARS) by Natalie C. Dickson, Apeksha R. Gohil, Carolyn A. Unsworth

“…The PoMoDARS is context specific, time efficient and promotes resident autonomy and safety.Aims To (i) undertake initial face and content validation of the PoMoDARS, and (ii) use the research findings to make any modifications.Methods A mixed-methods study design, underpinned by Classical Test Theory. Eight clinicians completed 20 PoMoDARS screens and provided both quantitative and qualitative feedback on item importance and ease of use within a formal interview.Results Initial face and content validity of the PoMoDARS were supported, with small modifications made to item descriptors and instructions.Conclusions The PoMoDARS has been developed for use in residential aged care settings to screen resident PMD use. …”

Analysis of a Model for the Morphological Structure of Renal Arterial Tree: Fractal Structure by Aurora Espinoza-Valdez, Francisco C. Ordaz-Salazar, Edgardo Ugalde, Ricardo Femat

“…Here we deal with the analysis of a model recently proposed by Espinoza-Valdez et al. (2010) for the kidney vasculature developed via angiogenesis. The graph theory allows one to model quantitatively a vascular arterial tree of the kidney in sense that (1) the vertex represents a vessels bifurcation, whereas (2) each edge stands for a vessel including physiological parameters. …”
