    Hui-neng developed the Buddhist thought of liberation and constructed the theory of spiritual liberation with Chinese characteristics Hui-neng s theory of spiritual liberation is a kind of life wisdom which aims to make people free from various afflictions and realize the freedom of the spir it In order to achieve this goal he explored the causes of afflictions found the ways to liberate people from afflictions According to his view all afflictions psychological problems originate from evils and deviations especially greed Tan hatred Chen delusio n Chi that are the three poison of consciousness called by Buddhism Because the roots of evils and deviations are giving r ise to thoughts Dongnian and arising in one s own mind Qi-xin the best way to free from any afflictions is no-thought Wu-nian no-dwelling Wu-zhu no-mark Wu-xiang which are able to make people s mind have no impediment so that the spirit will be at easy or lightheartednes

    Analytic three-loop QCD corrections to top-quark and semileptonic bub\to u decays

    We present the first analytic results of N3^3LO QCD corrections to the top-quark decay width. We focus on the dominant leading color contribution, which includes light-quark loops. At NNLO, this dominant contribution accounts for 95% of the total correction. By utilizing the optical theorem, the N3^3LO corrections are related to the imaginary parts of the four-loop self-energy Feynman diagrams, which are calculated with differential equations. The results are expressed in terms of harmonic polylogarithms, enabling fast and accurate evaluation. The third-order QCD corrections decrease the LO decay width by 0.667%, and the scale uncertainty is reduced by half compared to the NNLO result. The most precise prediction for the top-quark width is now 1.321 GeV for mt=172.69m_t=172.69 GeV. Additionally, we obtain the third-order QCD corrections to the dilepton invariant mass spectrum and decay width in the semileptonic bub\to u transition.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figure

    Synchronous Gastric Carcinoma and Nodal Malignant Lymphoma: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review

    Synchronous double malignancies of gastric carcinoma (GC) and malignant lymphoma (ML) are rare and very difficult to treat. We report a case of synchronous GC and nodal ML, regarding which clinical and pathological features and treatment are discussed. A 68-year-old woman with a history of inguinal hernia was admitted for abdominal pain and high fever and subsequently underwent herniorrhaphy, but the fever remained. Computerized tomography showed a stomach mass and multiple enlarged lymph nodes in the abdominal cavity and inguinal regions. Gastric adenocarcinoma coexistent with advanced in situ follicular lymphoma was confirmed by endoscopy, biopsy of inguinal lymph nodes and bone marrow examination. Two chemotherapy regimens, R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, perarubicin, vincristine and prednisone) and systemic therapy (5-fluorouracil and calcium folinate) combined with regional perfusion (oxaliplatin and etoposide) through the left gastric artery were performed at intervals against ML and GC, respectively. Partial remission in both tumors was achieved after 4 courses of treatment, but the patient finally died of heart failure. Scrupulous biopsy of non-draining lymph nodes in patients with gastrointestinal carcinomas is supposed to improve the diagnostic rate of simultaneous nodal ML. The interval chemotherapy strategy with two independent regimens is beneficial for such patients, especially for those unable to tolerate major surgery

    The title compound, C14H10Br2O, is a biphenyl derivative containing a –CH2—O—CH2– bridge in the 2,2′-position. The compound displays a twisted conformation with the two benzene rings making a dihedral angle of 45.02 (5)°, while the central seven-membered ring is in a boat conformation. The mol­ecule lies on a crystallographic twofold axis of symmetry passing through the O atom and bis­ecting the 1,1′ C—C bond
