A recently proposed dark matter WIMP (weakly interacting massive particle) has only second-order couplings to gauge bosons and itself. As a result, it small annihilation, scattering, creation cross-sections, is consequently consistent with all current experiments the observed abundance of matter. These cross-sections are, however, still sufficiently large enable detection in that are planned fo...

Recent experiments with heavy ions and planned experiments with ultraintense lasers require nonperturbative solutions to quantum field theory for predicting and interpreting the results. To propel this theoretical direction, we solve the nonperturbative problem of an electron in a strong transverse confining potential using Hamiltonian light-front quantum field theory. We evaluate both the inva...

introduction: we investigated the characteristic of a suitable irradiation on skin's tensional strength using design of experiments (doe). the experiments in this research are designed in two phases and data envelopment analysis (dea) is used for performance measurement of each phase. material and methods: samples were provided from pleura as surface tissue made of collagen and elastin fib...

We reanalyzed data reported in previous mental imagery experiments (D’Angiulli, 2001; D’Angiulli & Reeves, 2002). The data consisted of self-reported image vividness ratings (1 = no image; 7 = perfectly vivid) and image latencies (image completion RTs) for “small” (i.e., subtending < 16) and “large” (i.e., > 16) images, in two image generation conditions: trial-unique and repeated. In the origi...

0031-9007= We show that matter effects change the ! oscillation probability by as much as 70% for certain ranges of energies and path lengths. Consequently, the ! survival probability also undergoes large changes. A proper understanding of survival rates must consider matter effects in P as well as P e. We comment on (a) how these matter effects may be observed and the sign of 31 determined in ...

Model a network as an edge-weighted graph, where the (unknown) weight we of edge e indicates the frequency of observed interactions, and over time t we observe a Poisson(twe) number of interactions across edges e. How should we estimate some given statistic of the underlying network? This leads to wide-ranging and challenging problems, on which this article makes only partial progress.

In this paper, we introduce a new skewed distribution of which normal and power normal distributions are two special cases. This distribution is obtained by taking geometric maximum of independent identically distributed power normal random variables. We call this distribution as the power normal--geometric distribution. Some mathematical properties of the new distribution are presented. Maximu...

When playing musical passages, performers integrate the pitch content of auditory feedback with current action plans. However, this process depends on the degree to which the musical structure of the feedback melody is perceived as similar to the structure of what is planned. Four experiments reported here explored the relationship between the tonal class of planned melodies (tonal or atonal) a...
