We review the Standard Model in a form conducive to formulating its possible short distance extensions. This depends on the value of the Higgs mass, the only unknown parameter of the model. We suggest methods to reproduce many of the small numbers in the model in terms of scale ratios, applying seesaw like ideas to the breaking of chiral symmetries. We then investigate how the N = 1 Standard Mo...

The Lean Toolkit The lean toolkit is comprised of a set of tools that are used in support of the Six Sigma DMAIC process, which is an acronym for define, measure, analyze, improve, and control (Figure 1). While this toolkit is not all inclusive, the set of tools that will be discussed over my next few columns will allow an organization to move through each of the DMAIC functions and facilitate ...

The Acari are one of the most ubiquitous arthropod inhabitants and associates human animal remains. Over 150 years ago, Jean Pierre Mégnin proposed that mites arrive at corpses two particular stages decomposition process, is within first sixth waves arrival or colonisation event (Mégnin, 1895). Now we know actually each stage process corpses, in a continuum (Rai et al., 2021). Interestingly, mi...
