Marching Closer: The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Transition
As we draw closer to the time when the IANA stewardship functions transition away from US oversight to global stakeholders, LSE alumna and Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) NextGen participant Sana Ali talks to Konstantinos Komaitis, Senior Policy Adviser at the Internet Society (ISOC), about the implications of the transition for both ICANN and the internet community as a whole
Urinary and faecal N-methylhistamine concentrations do not serve as markers for mast cell activation or clinical disease activity in dogs with chronic enteropathies
This study sought to correlate faecal and urinary N-methylhistamine (NMH) concentrations with resting versus degranulated duodenal mast cell numbers in dogs with chronic enteropathies (CE), and investigate correlations between intestinal mast cell activation and clinical severity of disease as assessed by canine chronic enteropathy clinical activity index (CCECAI), and between urinary and faecal NMH concentrations, mast cell numbers, and histopathological scores. Twenty-eight dogs with CE were included. Duodenal biopsies were stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E), toluidine blue, and by immunohistochemical labelling for tryptase. Duodenal biopsies were assigned a histopathological severity score, and duodenal mast cell numbers were counted in five high-power fields after metachromatic and immunohistochemical staining. Faecal and urinary NMH concentrations were measured by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry
Stationary phase corrections in the process of bosonization of multi-quark interactions
The functional integration over the auxiliary bosonic variables of cubic
order related with the effective action of the Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio model with
't Hooft term has recently been obtained in the form of a loop expansion. Even
numbers of loops contribute to the action, while odd numbers of loops are
assigned to the measure. We consider the two-loop corrections and analyse their
effect on the low-lying pseudoscalar and scalar mass spectra, quark condensates
and weak decay constants. The results are compared to the leading order
calculations and other approaches.Comment: 22 pages, LaTeX, to appear in European Physics Journal
