We present covariant predictions of relativistic constituent quark models for π and η decay widths of N and ∆ resonances. The results are calculated for a model decay operator within the point-form spectator approximation. It is found that most theoretical values underestimate the experimental data considerably.

This paper studies the way survival horror games are designed to frighten and scare the gamer. Comparing video games and movies, the experiential state of the gamer and that of the spectator, as well as the shock of surprise and tension suspense, it focuses on the effects of forewarning on the emotional responses to survival horror games.

Auger rates are calculated for CdSe colloidal quantum dots using atomistic empirical pseudopotential wave functions. We predict the dependence of Auger electron cooling on size, on correlation effects (included via configuration interaction), and on the presence of a spectator exciton. Auger multiexciton recombination rates are predicted for biexcitons as well as for triexcitons. The results ag...

Isobaric models for the photo-production of K + are discussed and their predictions are shown in the K 0 photo-production. The models are further used in spectator model calculations of the K 0 photo-production on deuteron. Considerable dependence of the inclusive cross section on the elementary amplitude was found.
