We critically analyze recent attempts to include final state interaction (FSI) effects in the calculation of the CP violating ratio ε/ε. In particular the approach of using the Muskhelishvili-Omnès equation for the decay amplitudes is examined. We find that the values of the dispersive correction factors are very sensitive to initial conditions which are, at present, out of control, and demonst...

InClusive electron scattering data on 3He and 3H are analyzed under full treatment of the final state interactions (FSI) using realistic nucleon-nucleon forces. The data are well described. We use two different methods, one where we calculate the pd and ppn breakup contributions separately and another one which is related to the optical theorem for Compton scattering. Both rely on precise solut...

For many applications, the ability of a foil to passively adapt to the experienced fluid loading could be advantageous, Nicholls-Lee & Turnock (2007): e.g. wind or tidal turbine blades, hydrofoils for sailing yachts, or marine propellers. Composite materials provide the opportunity to tailor the bend twist coupling of a structure to achieve these goals, Veers & Bir (1998). To allow such foils t...

This contribution is the second part of two papers on the Fully Eulerian formulation for fluid-structure interactions (fsi). We present different fsi applications using the Fully Eulerian scheme, where traditional interface-tracking approaches like the Arbitrary LagrangianEulerian (ALE) framework show difficulties. Furthermore, we present examples where parts of the geometry undergo a large mot...

An error in the computer program which evaluated nucleon spectra following the decay of Λ hypernuclei has been detected. The error affected the final state interaction (FSI) of the nucleons, reducing by a factor ten the nucleon-nucleon (NN) collision probability. When correcting the error, some results and conclusions of Ref. [1] have changed substantially. In this erratum we present the correc...

Abstract. The article presents data on the social characteristics of first sexual intercourse (FSI) among secondary school students in Slovenia, collected as part research project “Sexuality Secondary School Students Slovenia”. results show that for most respondents their FSI was a planned event occurring within an intimate partnership. Protective measures are used to considerable extent. There...

We examine effects of final state interactions (FSI) in kaon decays using a new scheme without the Omnés function, and show that while ∆I = 1/2 rule is impossible to be explained in terms of FSI alone, ′/ ∼ 16.5 × 10−4 is obtained through FSI, if the calculation is concerned only with the CP-violating parts. The ππ contribution to the mL −mS mass difference is shown to be about 14%, if the size...

We discuss the final state interaction effects at high energies via a multichannel N/D method. We find that the 2 by 2 charge–exchange final state interactions typically contribute an enhancement factor of a few times 10−2 in the B meson decay amplitudes, both for the real and the imaginary part. We also make some discussions on the elastic rescattering effects. PACS numbers: 11.55.Fv, 11.80.Gw...

In this thesis we focus on the numerical analysis and the development of e cient partitioned algorithms for uid-structure interaction (FSI) problems arising in hemodynamics. In particular we consider the mechanical interaction of the blood with the large arteries, with the cardiac valves and with the myocardium. In partitioned FSI procedures the coupling between the uid and the structure can be...

Previously, we introduced a computational procedure based on three-dimensional meshless generalized finite difference (MGFD) method and serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data to quantify patient-specific carotid atherosclerotic plaque growth functions and simulate plaque progression. Structure-only models were used in our previous report. In this paper, fluid-stricture interaction (FSI) w...
