An analysis has been performed to derive a frequency weighting for the development of vibration-induced white finger (VWF). It employs a model to compare health risks for pairs of population groups that are selected to have similar health outcomes from operating power tools or machines with markedly different acceleration spectra (rock drills, chain saws, pavement breakers and motorcycles). The...

The cross section for producing W Z pairs at hadron colliders is calculated to order α s for general C and P conserving W W Z couplings. The effects of the next-to-leading-order corrections on the derived sensitivity limits for anomalous W W Z couplings are discussed. The prospects for observing the approximate amplitude zero, which is present in the standard model W Z helicity amplitudes, are ...

Highly-symmetric three-band Hubbard Cu-O clusters have peculiar properties when the hole number is such that they admit W=0 hole pairs. These are two-hole eigenstates of the on-site Hubbard repulsion with eigenvalue 0, get bound by correlation effects when dressed by the interaction with the background, and cause superconducting flux quantization. We study the Cu5O4 cluster by exact diagonaliza...

A search for new heavy resonances decaying to pairs of bosons (WW, WZ, or WH) is presented. The analysis uses data from proton-proton collisions collected with the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy 13 TeV, corresponding an integrated luminosity 137 fb−1. One required be W boson electron muon and neutrino, while other reconstructed as single jet mass substructure compatible quark pair W, Z...

We study the q-state Potts model with nearest-neighbor coupling v = eβJ −1 in the limit q, v → 0 with the ratio w = v/q held fixed. Combinatorially, this limit gives rise to the generating polynomial of spanning forests; physically, it provides information about the Potts-model phase diagram in the neighborhood of (q, v) = (0, 0). We have studied this model on the square and triangular lattices...

Broca’s area is classically associated with speech production. Recently, Broca’s area has also been implicated in speech perception and non-linguistic information processing. With respect to the latter function, Broca’s area is considered to be a central area in a network constituting the human mirror system, which maps observed or heard actions onto motor programs to execute analogous actions....

The average complexity analysis for a formalism pertaining pairs of compatible sequences is presented. The analysis is done in two levels, so that an accurate estimate is achieved. The way of separating the candidate pairs into suitable classes of ternary sequences is interesting, allowing the use of fundamental tools of symbolic computation, such as holonomic functions and asymptotic analysis ...

Pairs of spin1 2 particles are prepared in a Werner state (namely, a mixture of singlet and random components). If the random component is large enough, the statistical results of spin measurements that may be performed on each pair separately can be reproduced by an algorithm involving local “hidden” variables. However, if several such pairs are tested simultaneously, a violation of the Clause...
