J/psi dissociation by light mesons in an extended Nambu Jona-Lasinio model

An alternative model for the dissociation of the J/psi is proposed. Chiral symmetry is properly implemented. Abnormal parity interactions and mesonic form factors naturally arise from the underlying quark sub-structure. Analytic confinement for the light quarks is generated by appropriately chosen the quark interaction kernels. Dissociation cross sections of the J/psi by either a pion or a rho meson are then evaluated and discussed.Comment: 24 pages, 13 figures, final versio

Flat GL(1∣1)GL(1|1)-connections and fatgraphs

We study the moduli space of flat $GL(1|1)$-connections on a punctured surface from the point of view of graph connections. To each fatgraph, a system of coordinates is assigned, which involves two bosonic and two fermionic variables per edge, subject to certain relations. In the case of trivalent graphs, we provide a closed explicit formula for the Whitehead moves. In addition, we discuss the invariant Poisson bracket.Comment: 13 page

Stress Myocardial Perfusion Imaging for Assessing Prognosis: An Update

A strength of nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is the wealth of prognostic data accumulated over 30 years of experience with this technique. Nuclear MPI can predict outcomes and guide revascularization decisions in symptomatic patients and is well validated in special populations such as patients with diabetes and chronic renal disease. Known limitations, such as underestimation of ischemia and radiation burden, are being progressively reduced through advances such as positron emission tomography absolute flow quantification and fusion with computed tomography, new camera hardware and software, and stress-only protocols. Advanced statistical techniques and increasing focus on comparative effectiveness and appropriateness will continue to optimize nuclear cardiology going forward

Idea-caution before exploitation:the use of cybersecurity domain knowledge to educate software engineers against software vulnerabilities

The transfer of cybersecurity domain knowledge from security experts (‘Ethical Hackers’) to software engineers is discussed in terms of desirability and feasibility. Possible mechanisms for the transfer are critically examined. Software engineering methodologies do not make use of security domain knowledge in its form of vulnerability databases (e.g. CWE, CVE, Exploit DB), which are therefore not appropriate for this purpose. An approach based upon the improved use of pattern languages that encompasses security domain knowledge is proposed
