The reassembling of a simple connected graph G = (V,E) with n = ∣V ∣ ⩾ 1 vertices is an abstraction of a problem arising in earlier studies of network analysis. The reassembling process has a simple formulation (there are several equivalent formulations) relative to a binary tree B – its so-called reassembling tree, with root node at the top and n leaf nodes at the bottom – where every cross-se...

In this paper we construct a numerical solver for the Saint Venant equations. Special attention is given to the balancing of the source terms, including the bottom slope and variable crosssectional profiles. Therefore a special discretization of the pressure law is used, in order to transfer analytical properties to the numerical method. Based on this approximation a wellbalanced solver is deve...

Despite pension fund managers being largely unconstrained in their investment decisions, this paper reports evidence of clustering in the performance of a large cross-section of UK pension fund managers around the median fund manager. This finding is explained in terms of the predominance of a single investment style (balanced management), the fee structures and incentives operating in the UK p...

[1] Latitudinal changes in topography, climate, and thrust belt geometry in the central Andes have led to conflicting hypotheses that climate or tectonics exert a first-order control on orogen evolution. The relative roles of climate and tectonics in the evolution of the Andean orogen are difficult to quantify because of a lack of detailed observations for both the long-term deformation and ero...

Accurate measurements of particles masses, couplings and widths are possible by measuring production cross sections near threshold. We discuss the prospects for performing such measurements at a high luminosity muon collider.

Results on the cross section measurement of Z boson pair–production at LEP 1,2 are presented. The more general case of neutral–current four–fermion production and the particular case of ZZ events enriched in b quarks are also discussed. All the results agree with the Standard Model predictions.

in this study, farm level technical efficiency (te) and its determinants were investigated. a stochastic cobb-douglas (cd) production frontier was used to provide estimates of input-oriented te for a sample of 100 rain fed farms in two palestinian governorates. empirical findings showed that the estimated te of the farms in the pooled sample ranged from 35.7 to 95.6%, with a mean value of 72.2%...

Most Irish traditional folk dance music contains two musical themes; the tune begins with one musical theme which is usually repeated, then progresses to another theme with similar musical structure and motives, which is usually also repeated. The first section is typically called the A section while the second is called the B section. Our goal is to understand, at a quantitative level, the mus...
