This study compared electromyographic (EMG) amplitude, the number of repetitions completed, and exercise volume during three sets to failure of high(80% 1RM) versus low-load (30% 1RM) forearm flexion resistance exercise on a subject-by-subject basis. Fifteen men were familiarized, completed forearm flexion 1RM testing. Forty-eight to 72 h later, the subjects completed three sets to failure of d...

We investigate to what extent the experimental information on B → ππ branching fractions and CP asymmetries can be used to better understand the QCD dynamics in these decays. For this purpose we decompose the independent isospin amplitudes into factorizable and non-factorizable contributions. The former can be estimated within the framework of QCD factorization for exclusive B decays. The latte...

I study tachyon condensate perturbations to the action of the two dimensional string theory corresponding to the c=1 matrix model. These are shown to deform the action of the ground ring on the tachyon modules, confirming a conjecture of Witten. The ground ring structure is used to derive recursion relations which relate (N+1) and N tachyon bulk scattering amplitudes. These recursion relations ...

This paper presents a dynamic connection that can induce amplitude death in globally coupled oscillators. A linear analysis clarifies a local stability condition for global amplitude death. The analysis also indicates that the odd-number property, which is known in delayed feedback control, exists in global dynamic coupled oscillators. Furthermore, global amplitude death is experimentally obser...

Abstract We present a method for measuring the weak phase γ using isospin analysis of three body B decays into Kππ channels. Differential decay widths and time dependent asymmetry in Bd → KSπ π mode needs to be measured into even isospin ππ states. The method can be used to extract γ, as well as, the size of the electroweak penguin contributions. The technique is free from assumptions like SU(3...

Abstract In this paper, recursive equations for waiting time distributions of r-th occurrence of a compound pattern are studied via the finite Markov chain imbedding technique under overlapping and non-overlapping counting schemes in sequences of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) or Markov dependent multi-state trials. Using the relationship between number of patterns and r-th wa...

Scattering amplitudes for discrete states in 2D string theory are considered. Pole divergences of tree-level amplitudes are extracted and residues are interpreted as renormalized amplitudes for discrete states. An effective Lagrangian generating renormalized amplitudes for open string is written and corresponding Ward identities are presented. A relation of this Lagrangian with homotopy Lie alg...

From 1929 onwards, C. I. Lewis defended the foundationalist claim that judgements of the form ‘x is probable’ only make sense if one assumes there to be a ground y that is certain (where x and y may be beliefs, propositions, or events). Without this assumption, Lewis argues, the probability of x could not be anything other than zero. Hans Reichenbach repeatedly contested Lewis’s idea, calling i...

Consequences of the interference between external and internal spectator amplitudes for the lifetimes and semileptonic decay fractions of B and B mesons are discussed. Extrapolating from the constructive interference observed in 11 exclusive hadronic B decays we find an inclusive semileptonic decay fraction of (11.2± 0.5 ± 1.7)%, significantly closer to the experimental results than previous pr...

Non-leptonic hyperon weak decays are investigated in the SU(3) Skyrme model. We use a collective coordinate scheme, following the approach in which the symmetry breaking terms in the strong effective action are diagonalized exactly. To describe the weak interactions we use an octet dominated weak effective lagrangian that leads to a good description of the known 2π and 3π kaon decays. We show t...
