Weak-scale supersymmetry is a well-motivated, if speculative, theory beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. It solves the thorny issue of the Higgs mass, namely: how can it be stable to quantum corrections, when they are expected to be 1015 times bigger than its mass? The experimental signal of the theory is the production and measurement of supersymmetric particles in the Large Hadron ...

We consider an autonomous conservative second order system defined by a potential which admits a connected set Γ of critical points at level zero. We prove the existence of multiple periodic solutions of large period which are located near Γ.

Interspecies variations in the processes of B-cell development and repertoire generation contrast with the greater consistency of T-cell development. B-cell development in mice and humans, with postnatal B-cell generation of new repertoire in the bone marrow throughout life, is regarded as the 'standard' pattern. In contrast, accounts of B cells in birds, sheep, cattle, rabbits and pigs (the 'o...

[I]f a gift-of-life ethic is preferred and policy makers cannot solve the philosophical dispute over emotion in morality, a dispute that divides proponents of altruism and of routine procurement, then policy makers could judge whether the prevailing model of altruism has received a fair and sufficient test. This judgment would flow from an initial endorsement of altruism as a preferred public p...

We give existence and nonuniqueness results for simple planar curves with prescribed geodesic curvature.

— We give some multiplicity results on existence of nontrivial solutions for superlinear elliptic equations with a saddle structure near 0. We make use of a combination of bifurcation theory and minimax methods.

The problem of moving Radvis dimensional anchors to re-position points is analogous to positioning a planar robotic arm to reach a point. We propose a method for obtaining multiple solutions to the problem of configuring a planar arm to aid in the Radvis domain. The method uses uniform random choices followed by a optional post-processing step to obtain maximally different solutions.

We extend a novel framework for the estimation of multiple transparent motions to include regularization. We use mixed-motion parameters to obtain linear Euler-Lagrange equations with a regularization term. The equations are solved iteratively for the mixed-motion parameters based on an update rule that is similar to the case of only one motion. The motion parameters are then obtained as the ro...

controller design and optimization problems, with more than one objective, are referred as multiple objectives or multiple attributed problems. in this paper, a novel method is proposed for designing optimum pid controller that is called genetic multiple attributed decision making method (gmadm). this method is newer than the previous methods and in this paper some options are considered that h...
