The first examination of classical Kaposi’s sarcoma incidence in southern Sardinia (Italy) in 1998–2002 found the highest rate recorded in the island of 2.49 per 100 000 per year (standardised).

. The final concentrations of t-PA and thrombin were 25 ng/mL and 2U/mL, respectively. When IgG fractions were tested, 20 µL of IgG solution were added to the clot lysis system containing 80 µL of 25 mM CaCl2 in order to maintain the final volume of the mixture unchanged. The plate was incubated at 37°C

The ontological graph is implemented using Rule Markup Language (RuleML), which is a member of XML-based languages. The use of RuleML allows the ontology to flexible, extensible and platform

Correspondingly, we use the declarative language Relfun to implement the similarity algorithm as a parameterised, recursive functional program. Three main recursive functions perform a

The Kugo–Ojima confinement criterion and its relation to the infrared behaviour of the gluon and ghost propagators in Landau gauge QCD are reviewed. The realization of this confinement criterion (which in Landau gauge relates to Zwanziger’s horizon condition) results from quite general properties of the ghost Dyson– Schwinger equation. The numerical solutions for the gluon and ghost propagators obtained from a truncated set of Dyson–Schwinger equations provide an explicit example for the anticipated infrared behaviour. These results are in good agreement, also quantitatively, with corresponding lattice data obtained recently. The resulting running coupling approaches a fixed point in the infrared, α(0) = 8.9/Nc. Solutions for the coupled system of Dyson–Schwinger equations for the quark, gluon and ghost propagators are presented. Dynamical generation of quark masses and thus spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry is found. In the quenched approximation the quark propagator functions agree well with those of corresponding lattice calculations. For a small number of light flavours the quark, gluon and ghost propagators deviate only slightly from the quenched ones. While the positivity violation of the gluon spectral function is apparent in the gluon propagator, there are no clear indications of positivity violations in the Landau gauge quark propagator. 1. Gluon confinement in Landau gauge and the ghost propagator The success of perturbative QCD for hadronic reactions at high energies provides compelling evidence that QCD is the correct theory of strong interactions and that all hadrons are made of quarks and the particles
