Aerial gamma-ray spectrometric technique is used herein to evaluate the radioactive heat production (HP) of Ar-Rassafeh Badyieh Area (Area-2), Syria. The nine already established lithological scored units Area-2 have been separately characterized for HP parameter. Concentration-number (C-N) model and log-log plots associated with fractal are proposed applied as a new approach map measured equiv...

In hydrogeological investigations, the scale at which model parameters (e.g., hydraulic conductivity) are measured is usually quite different from the scale at which heads and contaminant concentrations are measured. The scale of grid blocks used in numerical simulations is usually different from the aforementioned two scales. However, measured concentrations and heads are used for calibration ...

The probability density function of accretion disc luminosity fluctuations at high observed energies (i.e., larger than the peak temperature scale disc) is derived, under assumption that are log-normally distributed. Thin theory used throughout. While log-normal would imply disc's bolometric also log-normal, Wien-like behaves very differently. For example, in contrast to a distribution, standar...

PURPOSE To evaluate the association of computed tomography (CT) texture features of locally advanced rectal cancer with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) response and disease-free survival (DFS). METHODS AND FINDINGS The institutional review board approved this retrospective study. 95 patients who received neoadjuvant CRT, followed by surgery, for locally advanced rectal cancer were include...

Brascamp–Lieb-type, weighted Poincaré-type and related analytic inequalities are studied for multidimensional Cauchy distributions and more general κ-concave probability measures (in the hierarchy of convex measures). In analogy with the limiting (infinite-dimensional log-concave) Gaussian model, the weighted inequalities fully describe the measure concentration and large deviation properties o...

We investigate the large deviation behavior of the overlap probability density in the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model using the coupled replica scheme, and compare with the results of a large scale numerical simulation. In the spin glass phase we show that generically, for any model with continuous RSB, 1/N log PN (q) ≈ −A ((|q| − qEA), and compute the first correction to the expansion of A in po...

Log-periodic amplitudes of the surface magnetization are calculated analytically for two Ising quantum chains with aperiodic modulations of the couplings. The oscillating behaviour is linked to the discrete scale invariance of the perturbations. For the Fredholm sequence, the aperiodic modulation is marginal and the amplitudes are obtained as functions of the deviation from the critical point. ...

We have investigated the deviation from the standard recombination process, using the ACBAR 2008 and the WMAP 3 year data. In this investigation, we have considered the possibility of the accelerated recombination as well as the delayed recombination. We find that the accelerated recombination is as likely as the delayed recombination, and there is some degeneracy between ǫα and {ns, log[10 As]...

1. Given the size distribution assumptions made here (the specific values of the median diameter and standard deviation) how universally applicable is this parameterization? Would the fitted parameters be identical for all other log-normal size distributions which might be characterized as “PM2.5”? or are these parameters only relevant if one assumes this specific size distribution? The authors...
