How to perform QCD analysis of DIS in Analytic Perturbation Theory
2015
We apply (Fractional) Analytic Perturbation Theory (FAPT) to the QCD analysis of the nonsinglet nucleon structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ in deep inelastic scattering up to the next leading order and compare the results with ones obtained within the standard perturbation QCD. Based on a popular parameterization of the corresponding parton distribution we perform the analysis within the Jacobi Polynomial formalism and under the control of the numerical inverse Mellin transform. To reveal the main features of the FAPT two-loop approach, we consider a wide range of momentum transfer from high $Q^2\sim 100 {\rm GeV}^2$ to low $Q^2\sim 0.3 {\rm GeV}^2$ where the approach still works.
Finite Energy Sum Rules with Legendre Polynomial Kernels
2016
Abstract In this note we report about a method to deal with finite energy sum rules. With a reasonable knowledge of the main resonances of the spectrum, the method guarantees that we can find a nice duality matching between the low energy hadronic data and asymptotic QCD at high energies.
Up and down quark masses from Finite Energy QCD sum rules to five loops
2008
The up and down quark masses are determined from an optimized QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) involving the correlator of axial-vector divergences, to five loop order in Perturbative QCD (PQCD), and including leading non-perturbative QCD and higher order quark mass corrections. This FESR is designed to reduce considerably the systematic uncertainties arising from the (unmeasured) hadronic resonance sector, which in this framework contributes less than 3-4% to the quark mass. This is achieved by introducing an integration kernel in the form of a second degree polynomial, restricted to vanish at the peak of the two lowest lying resonances. The driving hadronic contribution is then the pion …
Strange quark condensate from QCD sum rules to five loops
2007
It is argued that it is valid to use QCD sum rules to determine the scalar and pseudoscalar two-point functions at zero momentum, which in turn determine the ratio of the strange to non-strange quark condensates $R_{su} = \frac{}{}$ with ($q=u,d$). This is done in the framework of a new set of QCD Finite Energy Sum Rules (FESR) that involve as integration kernel a second degree polynomial, tuned to reduce considerably the systematic uncertainties in the hadronic spectral functions. As a result, the parameters limiting the precision of this determination are $\Lambda_{QCD}$, and to a major extent the strange quark mass. From the positivity of $R_{su}$ there follows an upper bound on the latt…
Data analysis procedures for pulse ELDOR measurements of broad distance distributions
2004
The reliability of procedures for extracting the distance distribution between spins from the dipolar evolution function is studied with particular emphasis on broad distributions. A new numerically stable procedure for fitting distance distributions with polynomial interpolation between sampling points is introduced and compared to Tikhonov regularization in the dipolar frequency and distance domains and to approximate Pake transformation. Distance distributions with only narrow peaks are most reliably extracted by distance-domain Tikhonov regularization, while frequency-domain Tikhonov regularization is favorable for distributions with only broad peaks. For the quantification of distribut…
Topological protection of highly entangled non-Gaussian two-photon states
2021
Abstract We study theoretically the evolution of entangled non-Gaussian two-photon states in disordered topological lattices. Specifically, we consider spatially entangled two-photon states, modulated by Laguerre polynomials up to the 3rd order, which feature ring-shaped spatial and spectral correlation patterns. Such states are discrete analogs of photon-subtracted squeezed states, which are ubiquitous in optical quantum information processing or sensing applications. We find that, in general, a higher degree of entanglement coincides with a loss of topological protection against disorder, this is in line with previous results for Gaussian two-photon states. However, we identify a particul…
Guillain-Barré Syndrome
2022
Background: Guillain–Barré syndrome is a rare disorder in which our body’s immune system attacks nerves determining weakness and tingling of extremities as first symptoms. It can also be associated to respiratory failure and require mechanical ventilation during hospitalization (up to 30% of patients). Nowadays patient’s hyper-reactive immune responses benefits from immunotherapies such as intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and new biological drugs. Case Report: We report our experience with the case of a 64-year-old woman who presented a symmetric progressive flaccid paralysis after a week of mild cold symptoms. The respiratory and neurological symptoms wo…
Influence of the xyloadenosine analogue of 2?,5?-oligoriboadenylate on poly(A)-specific, 2?,5?-oligoriboadenylate degrading 2?,3?-exoribonuclease and…
1984
The homogeneous poly(A)-specific 2′,3′-exoribonuclease from calf thymus gland, which cleaves both 3′,5′-and 2′,5′-linked oligoriboadenylates, does not degrade (xyloA2'p)2 xyloA, the xylofuranosyladenosine analogue of the 2-5A core. This oligonucleotide, which is supposed to enter intact cells rapidly, was found to possess an increased stability and an enhanced antiherpesvirus activity compared to the natural (A2'p)2A (Eppstein, D. A., Barnett, J. W., Marsh, Y. V., Gosselin, G. and Imbach, J.-L. (1983) Nature 302, 723–724). The poly(A) anabolic enzyme, poly(A) polymerase (Mn2+-dependent), from the same source, which is initiated by (A3'p)2A and its higher oligomers, does not accept 2–5A core…
Minimal Absent Words in Rooted and Unrooted Trees
2019
We extend the theory of minimal absent words to (rooted and unrooted) trees, having edges labeled by letters from an alphabet \(\varSigma \) of cardinality \(\sigma \). We show that the set \(\text {MAW}(T)\) of minimal absent words of a rooted (resp. unrooted) tree T with n nodes has cardinality \(O(n\sigma )\) (resp. \(O(n^{2}\sigma )\)), and we show that these bounds are realized. Then, we exhibit algorithms to compute all minimal absent words in a rooted (resp. unrooted) tree in output-sensitive time \(O(n+|\text {MAW}(T)|)\) (resp. \(O(n^{2}+|\text {MAW}(T)|)\) assuming an integer alphabet of size polynomial in n.
On Codimensions of Algebras with Involution
2020
Let A be an associative algebra with involution ∗ over a field F of characteristic zero. One associates to A, in a natural way, a numerical sequence \(c^{\ast }_n(A),\)n = 1, 2, …, called the sequence of ∗-codimensions of A which is the main tool for the quantitative investigation of the polynomial identities satisfied by A. In this paper we focus our attention on \(c^{\ast }_n(A),\)n = 1, 2, …, by presenting some recent results about it.
