In 1967 Glashow, Schnitzer and Weinberg derived a sum rule in the soft pion and soft kaon limit relating the ∆I = 1 2 non-leptonic K → 2π amplitude to integrals over strange and non-strange spectral functions. Using the recent ALEPH data from τ -decay, we show that the sum rule, slightly modified to reduce contributions near the cut, yields the correct magnitude decay amplitude corresponding to...

MOTIVATION Unknown genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have not undergone a risk evaluation, and hence might pose a danger to health and environment. There are, today, no methods for detecting unknown GMOs. In this paper we propose a novel method intended as a first step in an approach for detecting unknown genetically modified (GM) material in a single plant. RESULTS A model is designed wh...

I n the early 1970s, when recombinant DNA technology became available, scientists exercised a healthy amount of caution. Within just a few years, as effective laboratory safety rules were established, it became clear that DNA recombinant organisms posed no greater risk than any other biotechnology, including particularly agricultural biotechnology. This evident lack of special risk is what has ...

BACKGROUND Building on earlier work, the toxicity probability interval (TPI) method, we present a modified TPI (mTPI) design that is calibration-free for phase I trials. PURPOSE Our goal is to improve the trial conduct and provide more effective designs while maintaining the simplicity of the original TPI design. METHODS Like the TPI method, the mTPI consists of a practical dose-finding sch...

How precisely can we determine the πNN coupling constant from the isovector GMO sum rule? Abstract The isovector GMO sum rule for zero energy forward πN scattering is critically studied to obtain the charged πNN coupling constant using the precise π − p and π − d scattering lengths deduced recently from pionic atom experiments. This direct determination leads to g

Evolutionary programs are capable of finding good solutions to difficult optimization problems. Previous analysis of their convergence properties has normally assumed the strategy parameters are kept constant, although in practice these parameters are dynamically altered. In this paper, we propose a modified version of the 1/5-success rule for self-adaptation in evolution strategies (ES). Forma...

distribution of the quality characteristic of parts can change from lot to lot due to an improper setup op eration. It is shown how a first SMC approach has performance equivalent to a recently proposed Markov chain Monte Carlo method but at a small fraction of the computational cost, allowing for on-line control. A second, modified SMC rule that avoids unnecessary adjustments that can inflate ...

das thema „orient“ besch?ftigte schon lange vor der institutionalisierung der orientforschung und entstehung von orientalistikschulen die deutschsprachige kulturszene und wurde vor allem seit der zweiten h?lfte des 18. jahrhunderts mit einem ungeheuren illusorischen potenzial intensiver denn je in literarischen werken und ubersetzungen sowie in geistesgeschichtlichen debatten thematisiert. die ...

Association Rule Mining is an area of data mining that focuses on pruning candidate keys. An Apriori algorithm is the most commonly used Association Rule Mining. This algorithm somehow has limitation and thus, giving the opportunity to do this research. This paper introduces a new way in which the Apriori algorithm can be improved. The modified algorithm introduces factors such as set size and ...
