We discuss a new estimate of ε/ε in the kaon system. The present approach is based on the evaluation of the hadronic matrix elements of the ∆S = 1 effective quark lagrangian by means of the chiral quark model, with the inclusion of meson one-loop renormalization and NLO Wilson coefficients. The estimate here reviewed is fully consistent with the ∆I = 1/2 selection rule in K → ππ decays, which i...

We present a recent analysis of ε′/ε in the 1/Nc expansion. We show that the 1/Nc corrections to the matrix element of Q6 are large and positive, indicating a ∆I = 1/2 enhancement similar to the one of Q1 and Q2 which dominate the CP conserving amplitude. This enhances the CP ratio and can bring the standard model prediction close to the measured value for central values of the parameters. Seve...

“I’ve never touched the hard stuff, only smoked grass a few times with the boys to be polite, and that’s all, though ten is the age when the big guys come around teaching you all sorts to things. But happiness doesn’t mean much to me, I still think life is better. Happiness is a mean son of a bitch and needs to be put in his place. Him and me aren’t on the same team, and I’m cutting him dead. I...

We update our 1993 analysis of the CP violating ratio ε/ε in view of the changes in several input parameters, in particular the improved value of the top quark mass. We also investigate the strange quark mass ms dependence of ε/ε in view of rather low values found in the most recent lattice calculations. A simple scanning of the input parameters within one standard deviation gives the ranges: −...

Phospholipase C-ε (PLC-ε) is a unique PLC isoform that can be regulated by multiple signaling inputs from both Ras family GTPases and heterotrimeric G proteins and has primary sites of expression in the heart and lung. Whereas the role of PLC-ε in cardiac function and pathology has been documented, its relevance in acute lung injury (ALI) is unclear. We used PLC-ε(-/-) mice to address the role ...

We quantify the important effect of strong final state interactions in the weak K → 2π amplitudes, using the measured π-π phase shifts with J = 0 and I = 0, 2. The main results of this analysis, with their implications for ε/ε and the ∆I = 1/2 rule, have been already presented in a previous paper [1]. Here we provide a detailed formal derivation of those results and further discuss the Standard...

We prove the existence of weak solutions with homogeneous boundary data for the following equations of Navier-Stokes type equations divσ + f = ∇π + (∇u)u, where u : R ⊃ Ω → R is the velocity field satisfying div u = 0 and f : Ω→ R and π : Ω→ R are the external volume forces resp. the pressure. In order to model the behaviour of Prandtl-Eyring fluids we assume the validity of the stress-strain r...

Changes in stock price will be influenced by many aspects of factors. When we are predicting stock price, it is difficult to build a determined mathematical model between stock prices and these complex factors. This paper first utilizes ε − SVM (ε − support vector machine) to build a stock price prediction model. By fitting the prediction error sequence, we find the law factors, which the predi...

In the facility location problem usually reducing total transferring cost and time are common objectives. Designing of a network with hub facilities can improve network efficiency. In this study a new model is presented for P-hub covering location problem. In the p-hub covering problem it is attempted to locate hubs and allocate customers to established hubs while allocated nodes to hubs are in...

We are interested in the efficient and reliable numerical solution of parametric multi-scale problems, the multi-scale (parametric) character of which is indicated by ε (μ) if expressed in the general notation of (1). It is well known that solving parametric multi-scale problems accurately can be challenging and computationally costly for small scales ε and for a strong dependency of the soluti...
