Densities in molten KCl, RbCI, T1C1, KC1-T1C1 and RbCl -TlCl at various temperatures (t °C) were measured to within ±0.1% by iridium pyknometry. For the pure melts the results fit empirical equations of the form Q=a—bt . The molar volumes at the melting points were derived and tested against other melting-point data for thermodynamic consistency. In the mixtures the volumes deviate from additiv...

For an essentially tame supercuspidal representation $\pi$ of a connected reductive $p$-adic group $G$, we establish two distinct and complementary sufficient conditions for the irreducible components its restriction to maximal compact subgroup occur in $G$ which is not inertially equivalent $\pi$. These results are further formulated terms geometry Bruhat-Tits building fixed points under actio...

The rare decays B ! K `` , B ! K )  and Bs ! + are analyzed in a generic scenario where New Physics e ects enter predominantly via Z penguin contributions. We show that this possibility is well motivated on theoretical grounds, as the sbZ vertex is particularly susceptible to non-standard dynamics. In addition, such a framework is also interesting phenomenologically since the sbZ coupling is r...

Purpose – This study examines the relationships between a firm’s CSR activities and its performance and risk. We hypothesize that industry-level effects are highly determinant of the sign and magnitude of these relationships to establish a ranking of industries to identify the position of the most prominent tourism-related industries: hotels and airlines. Based on the cybernetic model of decisi...

We report our results on nonlinear optical properties of 2(3), 9(10), 16(17), 23(24) tetra tert-butyl phthalocyanine and 2(3), 9(10), 16(17), 23(24) tetra tert-butyl Zinc phthalocyanine studied using Z-scan technique with 800 nm femtosecond and 532 nm nanosecond pulses. Nonlinear absorption behavior in both femtosecond and nanosecond domains was studied in detail. We observed three-photon absor...

We study direct CP violation in hadronic B-decays in the ρ 0-ω interference region, and focus specifically on the rate asymmetry in B ± → ρ ± ρ 0 (ω) → ρ ± π + π −. In this channel, the strong phase is dominated by isospin violation, so that it can be essentially determined by e + e − → π + π − data in the ρ 0-ω interference region. We find that the asymmetry in the ρ ± π + π − channel is of or...

Correlation and covariance matrices provide the basis for all classical multivariate techniques. Many statistical tools exist for analyzing their structure, but, surprisingly, there are few techniques for exploratory visual display, and for depicting the patterns of relations among variables in such matrices directly, particularly when the number of variables is moderately large. This paper des...

This paper studies how national sentiment in the form of either a perception or a loyalty bias of bettors may affect pricing patterns on national wagering markets for international sport events. We show theoretically that both biases can be profitably exploited by bookmakers by way of price adjustment (odds shading). The former bias induces bookmakers to shade odds against the domestic team, th...
