Measurements of the forward-backward production asymmetry of heavy quarks in Z decays provide a precise determination of sin lept W;e . The asymmetries are sensitive to QCD e ects, in particular hard gluon radiation. In this paper QCD corrections for A b FB and A c c FB are discussed. The interplay between the experimental techniques used to measure the asymmetries and the QCD e ects is investi...

In this paper, we propose a novel test of independence based on the concept of correntropy. We explore correntropy from a statistical perspective and discuss its properties in the context of testing independence. We introduce the novel concept of parametric correntropy and design a test of independence based on it. We further discuss how the proposed test relaxes the assumption of Gaussianity. ...

There is definitely certain truth in saying that innovation and entrepreneurship education is the education basically oriented at the cultivation of students’ innovative abilities and spirit . Based on an analysis of the limitations of the current educational mode for financial statistics students, this paper modifies the educational program and strengthens the curriculum design of experiments ...

This research aims at suggesting suitable plantypes for flexible housing based the distinctive characteristics of the flexible aparttnent unit plans in Korea identified through the diachronic analysis of the variation trends. This study performs space analysis using the Space Syntax Model by quantifying the interrelationships among the spatial units each of which are designed to satisfy specifi...

Mineral physicist Steven Jacobsen uses high pressure-temperature experimental techniques to investigate the properties of mantle mineral phases such as ringwoodite, the blue crystal (left) pictured through the top of a diamond-anvil cell. Jacobsen’s studies will help EPS seismologist Suzan van der Lee map the Earth’s interior as they attempt to identify the driving forces behind plate tectonics...

This paper studies optimal auction design when the seller can affect the buyers’ valuations through an unobservable ex ante investment. The key insight is that the optimal mechanism may have the seller play a mixed investment strategy so as to create correlation between the otherwise (conditionally) independent valuations of buyers. The paper establishes conditions under which the seller can, i...

Screen media, such as television and videos, are a common part of young children’s lives. Yet infants and toddlers have been shown to learn less effectively from screens than from interactions with another person. Using a quasi-experimental design we explored how social factors of screen media coviewing impact children’s learning outcomes. We observed parents co-viewing a novel word training vi...
