We give new elementary proofs of theorems due to B. Muckenhoupt, B. Jawerth, and S. Buckley. By means of our approach we answer a question raised by J. Orobitg and C. Pérez.

This Article analyzes the component parts of “judicial deference” as set out in McConnell v. Federal Election Commission, and assesses their interrelationship and persuasiveness. Part I locates McConnell within the history of struggles over the proper role of courts and legislatures in the constitutional design and oversight of campaign finance controls. It attempts to show how the Court could ...

We prove that possibilistic linear programming problems (introduced by Buckley in [2]) are well-posed, i.e. small changes of the membership function of the parameters may cause only a small deviation in the possibilistic distribution of the objective function.

Multiphase flow in porous media provides a wide range of applications: from the environmental understanding (aquifer, site-pollution) to industrial process improvements (oil production, waste management). Modeling of such flows involves specific volume-averaged equations and therefore specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools. In this work, we develop a toolbox for modeling multiphase f...

The injected CO2 in a target formation can continue to migrate through permeable pathways due to geological heterogeneity as well as buoyancy. This movement drives a countercurrent flow of brine leading to increased residual phase trapping. The purpose of this simulation study is to understand the effects of geological structures, especially faults, on the dynamic behavior of the buoyancy-drive...

The Voorhees/Buckley swap method is useful for comparing the discrimination power of Information Retrieval (IR) and Question Answering (QA) metrics. Given a test collection, a set of runs and an evaluation metric, it derives the swap rate, the chance of observing inconsistencies when two completely different topic sets are used for comparing a pair of runs. Recently, however, Sanderson and Zobe...

We examined the relationship between a remote history of concussions with current symptoms of depression in retired professional athletes. Thirty retired National Football League (NFL) athletes with a history of concussion and 29 age- and IQ-matched controls without a history of concussion were recruited. We found a significant correlation between the number of lifetime concussions and depressi...
