We study the connection between small-overlap conditions and automaticity of semi-groups. We restrict the discussion to conditions that imply embeddability and under which each relation decomposes into at least seven pieces. For these hyperbolic-like conditions we show how to construct an automatic structure. Furthermore, we show that the naive approach of considering just geodesics fails in ou...

1. Like in 3D hydrodynamics, the non-linearity of the Poisson-Boltzmann system may imply dissipation through the growth of discontinuous solutions. 2. The relationship between the microscopic exponential sensitivity of N-body systems and the stability of mean field galaxy models. 3. The role of quantum physics in the dynamics of structure formation, considering that cosmological neutrinos are m...

Semi-supervised classification methods have received much attention as suitable tools to tackle training sets with large amounts of unlabeled data and a small quantity of labeled data. Several semi-supervised learning models have been proposed with different assumptions about the characteristics of the input data. Among them, the self-training process has emerged as a simple and effective techn...

We discuss the contribution of so-called semi-enhanced hard rescattering corrections to central exclusive diffractive Higgs production, pp → p+H+p, at the LHC. We present arguments to show that these corrections are small. We confirm these expectations by considering HERA data for leading neutron production.

Recommended by Mark Bebbington We show how it is possible to construct efficient duration dependent semi-Markov reliability models by considering recurrence time processes. We define generalized reliability indexes and we show how it is possible to compute them. Finally, we describe a possible application in the study of credit rating dynamics by considering the credit rating migration as a rel...

The Alcoscan test strip was applied as an assay for the screening of alcohol in vitreous humor and urine samples in autopsy cases and in saliva from drunken drivers. The method gives instant and reliable semi-quantitative information on the presence of alcohol and is valuable when considering the necessity of chemical sampling especially during autopsy.
