Open AccessComprehensive analysis of pedicle screw implantation in the C7 vertebra using computed tomography-based three-dimensional models
From a biomechanical point of view, pedicle screws (PS) are better than other kinds of screws for implantation in the seventh cervical vertebra (C7). However, the application of PS is limited because of the hi...

Open AccessTwo-pole structures in a relativistic Friedrichs–Lee-QPC scheme
A general appearance of two-pole structures is exhibited in a relativistic Friedrichs–Lee model combined with a relativistic quark pair creation model in a consistent manner. This kind of two-pole structure co...

Open AccessRelativistic Friedrichs–Lee model and quark-pair creation model
In this paper, we present how the Friedrichs–Lee model could be extended to the relativistic scenario and be combined with the relativistic quark pair creation model in a consistent way. This scheme could be a...

Relationships among quasivarieties induced by the min networks on inverse semigroups
A congruence on an inverse semigroup S is determined uniquely by its kernel and trace. Denoting by \(\rho _k\) ρ k and \(\rho _t\) ρ t the least congruence on S having the same kernel and the same tra...

Open AccessQCD sum rule studies on the \(s s {\bar{s}} {\bar{s}}\) tetraquark states of \(J^{PC} = 0^{-+}\)
We apply the method of QCD sum rules to study the \(s s {\bar{s}} {\bar{s}}\)sss¯s¯ tetraquark states of \(J^{PC} = 0^{-+}\)JPC=0-+. We construct all the relevant \(s s {\bar{s}} {\bar{s}}\)sss¯s¯ tetraquark curr...
