We study the global analysis for parton distributions as a function of the QCD strong coupling strength α s , and present a new series of distributions that span the range 0.110 < α s (m Z) < 0.128. We use these distributions to explore the correlation between α s and the gluon distribution; the viability of global analysis as a method to measure α s ; and the dependence on α s of predictions f...

In this paper I show that the coolest σOrionis cluster planet S Ori 70 is still a strong candidate member despite recent claims by Burgasser et al. that it could be a brown dwarf interloper. The main point of my argument is that the colors of S Ori 70 are significantly different to those of field dwarfs. This object has in fact the reddest H − K color of all known T dwarfs, a clear indication o...

S-boxes play an important role in ensuring the resistance of block ciphers against cryptanalysis as often they are their only nonlinear components. The cryptographic properties of S-boxes and a variety of constructions have been studied extensively over the past years. Techniques for S-box generation include algebraic constructions, pseudo-random generation and heuristic approaches. The family ...

A state space version of the skew Toeplitz theory for (distributed) H" optimization theory is presented. The approach combines this theory with the realization theory for pseudorational transfer functions. 1 Time-Domain Interpretation of Sarason Space In [15], we established a strong link between the skew Toeplitz H" theory of 12, 4, 5, 6, 9, 121 and its realization in the time domain. The fund...

KURE is a Haskell hosted Domain Specific Language (DSL) for writing transformation systems based on rewrite strategies. When writing transformation systems, a significant amount of engineering effort goes into setting up plumbing to make sure that specific rewrite rules can fire. Systems like Stratego and Strafunski provide most of this plumbing as infrastructure, allowing the DSL user to focus...

A proof system is presented for the verification and derivation of object oriented programs with as main features strong typing, dynamic binding, and inheritance. The proof system is inspired on Meyer’s system of class invariants [12] and remedies its unsoundness, which is already recognized by Meyer. Dynamic binding is treated in a flexible way: when throughout the class hierarchy overriding m...

begin{abstract} in this paper, we prove some strong and weak convergence of three step random iterative scheme with errors to common random fixed points of three asymptotically nonexpansive nonself random mappings in a real uniformly convex separable banach space. end{abstract}

Background & aim: Forensic midwifery is a new major which has been established in response to the need of endangered women for forensic services and also the lack of service provision in this domain. However, there are ambiguities in the definition of this major and its scope of practice. The present study was conducted to investigate the scope of practice in forensic ...

in this paper, we introduce the notion of primal strong co-ideals and give some results involving them. it is shown thatsubtractive strong co-ideals are intersection of all primal strong co-ideals that contain them. also we prove that the representation of strong co-ideals as reduced intersections of primal strong co-ideals is unique.
