The Nambu-Jona-Lasinio Lagrangian offers an explication of the seemingly contradictory observations that (a) the energy loss in the entrance channel of heavy ion reactions is not sufficient to ...thermalize the system and that (b) the observed hadron cross sections are in almost perfect agreement with hydrodynamical calculations. According to this scenario, a critical opacity develops close to the chiral phase transition which equilibrates and hadronizes the expanding system very effectively. It creates as well radial flow and, if the system is not isotropic, finite upsilon2 values.
Using an extended version of the Nambu Jona-Lasinio Lagrangian we calculate the properties of diquarks and baryons in dense and hot hadronic matter. These properties are then used to calculate the ...production cross sections of diquarks and baryons at finite temperature.
A comprehensive examination of the role of alcoholic beverages in nutrition is presented. Current scientific knowledge concerning the metabolism of ethanol and the nutrient contributions of fermented ...beverages is discussed within the perspective of their long religious and cultural tradition in human society. Beers and wines have been enjoyed for their gustatory as well as pharmacologic value since antiquity. The processing and consumption of indigenous foods containing fermentable sugars is reviewed historically, along with the fermentation of wine and the brewing of beer. A survey of the therapeutic uses of alcoholic beverages and the effects of alcoholic abuse on body systems are described. Alcoholism has profound medical, nutritional and socioeconomic implications on an individual and on society. An appendix identifies the compounds contained in whiskey, wine and beer
