We discuss the quantum Lax-Phillips theory of scattering and unstable systems. In this framework, the decay of an unstable system is described by a semigroup. The spectrum of the generator of the semigroup corresponds to the singularities of the Lax-Phillips S-matrix. In the case of discrete (complex) spectrum of the generator of the semigroup, associated with resonances, the decay law is exact...

Assumptions of individual rationality and preference stability provide the foundation for a convenient and tractable modeling approach. While both of these assumptions have come under scrutiny in distinct literatures, the two lines of research remain disjointed. This study begins by explicitly linking the two literatures while providing insights into perhaps the central issue facing behavioral ...

Computers can be very helpful to us by performing tasks on our behalf. For example, they are very good at performing calculations, storing information and producing visualisations of objects that do not yet exist as a made artifact. Increasingly, however, a different role is being found for the computer. It is the role of a catalyst, or a stimulant, to our own creative thinking. In such cases t...

Analysts typically use a variety of techniques to forecast inflation. These include both ‘bottom-up’ approaches, for near-term forecasting, as well as econometric methods (such as mark-up models of inflation, which have been found to perform quite well for Australia – see de Brouwer and Ericsson (1998)). One of the econometric approaches to inflation forecasting which is sometimes considered is...

A simple and efficient synthesis of aryl and heteroaryl substituted pyrimidines has been developed via initial Knoevenagal, subsequent addition and final cyclization of aldehyde, ethylcyanoacetate and guanidine nitrate. Piperidine has been used as a catalyst. Short reaction time, environment friendly procedure and excellent yields are the advantages of this procedure. All synthesized compounds ...

Catalyst selectivity is associated with well-defined homogeneous active sites. Transition metal complexes and organocatalysts are highly active and selective in the homogeneous phase, and their heterogenization by incorporating them into inorganic solid materials allows combining their excellent catalytic activity with improved separation, recovering and recycling properties. In this article, w...

Abstract In Phillips v , Lord Westbury stated that, against a bona fide purchaser faced with an “equity” to rescind, “the Court will not interfere”. This has been interpreted mean that purchasers of even equitable interest shall take free prior equities. Yet the distinction between “equities” and interests been, remains, uncertain; some have therefore questioned intent behind Phillips. paper el...

The aim of this paper is to analyze how different catalyst activity profiles influence the operating strategies of industrial reactors. Based on this analysis a method that can be used to transform information given by laboratory reactor experiments into a form which can be used to estimate the productivity of the catalyst and the quality properties of polymers under industrial conditions is pr...
