RADIATION SAFETY The radioactive sources used in this experiment are only a few microcuries in strength, and they are all sealed, so they actually pose no significant health hazard. However we will follow good safety procedure. Horseplay involving the sources is forbidden. While the sources are not dangerous, like any radioactive source they should be treated with respect and properly handled. ...

The fixed point index of topological fixed point theory is a well studied integer-valued algebraic invariant of a mapping which can be characterized by a small set of axioms. The coincidence index is an extension of the concept to topological (Nielsen) coincidence theory. We demonstrate that three natural axioms are sufficient to characterize the coincidence index in the setting of continuous m...

We generalize the coincidence semi-index introduced in [D-J] to pairs of maps between topological manifolds. This permits extending the Nielsen theory to this class of maps. Introduction. In this paper we generalize the coincidence semi-index theory, introduced in [D-J] in the smooth case, to pairs of maps between topological manifolds. It will be based on the topological transversality lemma (...

In 1924, Walther Bothe and Hans Geiger applied a coincidence method to the study of Compton scattering with Geiger needle counters. Their experiment confirmed the existence of radiation quanta and established the validity of conservation principles in elementary processes. At the end of the 1920s, Bothe and Werner Kolhörster coupled the coincidence technique with the new Geiger–Müller counter t...

Patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders often maintain deviating views on cause-effect relationships, especially when positive and disorganization symptoms are manifest. Altered perceived causality is prominent in delusional ideation, in ideas of reference, and in the mentalizing ability (theory of mind [ToM]) of patients. Perceiving causal relationships may be understood either as highe...

‎The purpose of this paper is to establish some coupled coincidence point theorems for mappings having a mixed $g$-monotone property in partially ordered metric spaces‎. ‎Also‎, ‎we present a result on the existence and uniqueness of coupled common fixed points‎. ‎The results presented in the paper generalize and extend several well-known results in the literature‎.

The statistics of photon coincidence counting in photon-correlated beams is thoroughly investigated considering the effect of the finite coincidence resolving time. The correlated beams are assumed to be generated using parametric downconversion, and the photon streams in the correlated beams are modeled by two partially correlated Poisson point processes. An exact expression for the mean rate ...

Some aspects of correlation functions in N = 4 SYM are discussed. Using N = 4 harmonic su-perspace we study two and three-point correlation functions which are of contact type and argue that these contact terms will not affect the non-renormalisation theorem for such correlators at non-coincident points. We then present a perturbative calculation of a five-point function at two loops in N = 2 h...
