We argue that current data on nuclear shadowing confirm expectations of the color singlet models of nuclear shadowing. We demonstrate that unitarity constrains require nuclear shadowing for gluons to be very significant already for x ≤ 10 . Physics of coherent diffraction production of vector mesons off light nuclei is also discussed.

Most traditional, and many modern, methods of state estimation have a number a failings when applied to high-dimensional and nonlinear systems. A promising new alternative that avoids many of these failings is a shadowing filter. An additional advantage of shadowing filters is that when combined with indistinguishable states they provide a consistent generalisation to the imperfect model scenar...

In foreign language learning, shadowing has been used as a method for improving speaking and listening ability. In this method, learners are required to repeat a presented native utterance as closely and quickly as possible. Since learners have to follow the speaking rate of the presented utterance, their pronunciation often becomes very inarticulate and unintelligible. These features of shadow...

Acoustical shadowing occurring at the edges of curved objects is one of the most frequently observed artifacts in ultrasound imaging. This artifact has been generally ascribed to refraction and reflection effects at the boundary between the curved object and the surrounding tissues. However, the shadowing that would be produced by pure refraction and reflection may not correspond in all circums...

Research on indoor positioning technologies has recently become a hotspot because of the huge social and economic potential of indoor location-based services (ILBS). Wireless positioning signals have a considerable attenuation in received signal strength (RSS) when transmitting through human bodies, which would cause significant ranging and positioning errors in RSS-based systems. This paper ma...

Remote sensing plays an enormous role in our understanding of the geology of solid bodies in the solar system. Inferences based on remote sensing of planetary surfaces require the use of two types of models: one for the scattering and emission of electromagnetic radiation from matter; and one which quantitatively describes the surface composition and roughness of geologic surfaces. Here, we use...
