There is a growing realization that stakeholder involvement in decision-making for largescale engineering systems is necessary and crucial, both from an ethical perspective, as well as for improving the chances of success for an engineering systems project. Traditionally however, stakeholders have only been involved after decision-makers and experts have completed the initial decision-making pr...

A consistent scheme is proposed for quantizing the potential amplitude in the Schrödinger equation in the caseof negative energies (lying in the discrete-spectrum domain). The properties of the eigenfunctionsφν(r) and eigenvalues ανcorresponding to zero, small, and large absolute values of energy E < 0 are analyzed. Expansion in the set {φν(r)} is used todevelop a regular pertur...

Editors’ Introduction The following reminiscence by Gabriele M. Zu Rhein is the seventh autobiography in a series published in the Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology. These have been solicited from senior members of the neuropathology community who have been noted leaders and contributors to neuroscience and to the American Association of Neuropathologists (AANP) and have a hi...

For a martingale (Xn) converging almost surely to a random variable X , the sequence (Xn − X) is called martingale tail sum. Recently, Neininger [Random Structures Algorithms, 46 (2015), 346-361] proved a central limit theorem for the martingale tail sum of Régnier’s martingale for the path length in random binary search trees. Grübel and Kabluchko [2014, preprint, arXiv 1410.0469] gave an alte...
