Since the early 1970's, research has been done on the negative effects of divorce on children’s well-being and the intergenerational transmission of divorce risks in the USA. Especially the public opinion in the United States has been one of enormous concern for the effects on children, since divorce rates have developed strongly, and are still significantly higher than in any other country in ...

Let's read! We will often find out this sentence everywhere. When still being a kid, mom used to order us to always read, so did the teacher. Some books are fully read in a week and we need the obligation to support reading. What about now? Do you still love reading? Is reading only for you who have obligation? Absolutely not! We here offer you a new book enPDFd information systems and artifici...

In an earlier publication, we have introduced a method to obtain, at large N , the effective action for d-dimensional manifolds in a N -dimensional disordered environment. This allowed to obtain the Functional Renormalization Group (FRG) equation for N = ∞ and was shown to reproduce, with no need for ultrametric replica symmetry breaking, the predictions of the Mézard-Parisi solution. Here we c...

I present a mini-review on the physics of heavy flavour baryons where I concentrate on the HQET description of their exclusive decay modes. In particular I discuss the structure of current-induced bottom baryon to charm baryon transitions, and the structure of pion and photon transitions between heavy charm or bottom baryons in the Heavy Quark Symmetry limit as mQ → ∞. The emphasis is on the st...

Contrary to an important explanatory principle of traditional dialectology, according to which (political) borders impede communication and thereby lead to the emergence of linguistic differences, I will argue that putative or factual linguistic differences are used for the social construction of (political) borders, and that existing (political) borders are symbolically reinforced by attractin...

I discuss the structure of current-induced bottom baryon to charm baryon transitions, and the structure of pion and photon transitions between heavy charm or bottom baryons in the Heavy Quark Symmetry limit as mQ → ∞. The emphasis is on the structural similarity of the Heavy Quark Symmetry predictions for the three types of transitions. The discussion involves the ground state s-wave heavy bary...
