Nuclear Gluon Density in the Constituent Quark Model
The nuclear gluon distribution is predicted using the constituent quark model. We point out that the nuclear shadowing and antishadowing depress nuclear gluon field when x < 0.08 and enhance it when 0.08 < x < 0.2.

Nuclear Shadowing and Antishadowing in a Unitarized BFKL Equation
The nuclear shadowing and antishadowing effects are explained by a unitarized BFKL equation. The Q2and x-variations of the nuclear parton distributions are detailed based on the level of the unintegrated gluon distribution. In particular, the asymptotical behavior of the unintegrated gluon distribution near the saturation limit in nuclear targets is studied. Our results in the nuclear targets are insensitive to the input distributions if the parameters are fixed by the data of a free proton.

Bag skin effect for Friedberg-Lee model
Importance of the bag skin effect to determine the parameters of the Friedberg-Lee model is pointed out. The European Muon Collaboration (EMC) effect regarded as a bag skin effect can be used to determine the parameters of this model.

Partonic Structure of the Pomeron in the Modified GLR Equation
The gluon recombination effect in the pomeron is studied by using the modified Gribov–Levin–Ryskin evolution equation. We find that the measured parton distributions in the pomeron can be generated dynamically from a purely gluonic input on assuming a small size for the pomeron.

A twist-4 effect in the parton evolution processes
Recently, a research group reported that they can fit the F2 data well by using the Altarelli-Parisi evolution equation with a valence-like initial gluon distribution, which means that we need not consider the high twist effects in the proton. In this letter, we point out that their valence-like initial gluon distribution is unreasonable for the proton structure function. With the reasonable initial distributions, we find that the high twist corrections to the Altarelli-Parisi evolution equation is necessary.

A New Effect in the QCD Fusion of Nuclear Partons
The parton fusion in nucleus at the leading order of recombination is investigated based on perturbative QCD. We compute various cut diagrams including the nuclear parton fusion, and find that the parton-fusion effects depend on the nuclear QCD structure.

X-RAY OBSERVATIONS OF HIGH-B RADIO PULSARS
The study of high-magnetic-field pulsars is important for examining the relationships between radio pulsars, magnetars, and X-ray-isolated neutron stars (XINSs). Here, we report on X-ray observations of three such high-magnetic-field radio pulsars. We first present the results of a deep XMM-Newton observation of PSR J1734–3333, taken to follow up on its initial detection in 2009. The pulsar's spectrum is well fit by a blackbody with a temperature of 300 ± 60 eV, with bolometric luminosity for a distance of 6.1 kpc. We detect no X-ray pulsations from the source, setting a 1σ upper limit on the pulsed fraction of 60% in the 0.5-3 keV band. We compare PSR J1734–3333 to other rotation-powered pulsars of similar age and find that it is significantly hotter, supporting the hypothesis that the magnetic field affects the observed thermal properties of pulsars. We also report on XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of PSRs B1845–19 and J1001–5939. We do not detect either pulsar, setting 3σ upper limits on their blackbody temperatures of 48 and 56 eV, respectively. Despite the similarities in rotational properties, these sources are significantly cooler than all but one of the XINSs, which we attribute to the two groups having been born with different magnetic fields and hence evolving differently.
