The invariant spectra of ? mesons produced in (+ =K +)p interactions at 250 GeV/c are analysed in the framework of the hydrodynamical model of three-dimensionally expanding cylindrically symmetric nite systems. The data favour the pattern according to which the hadron matter undergoes predominantly longitudinal expansion and non-relativistic transverse expansion with mean transverse velocity hu...

This paper is concerned with the field enhancement when an electromagnetic wave passes through subwavelength metallic gaps. We focus on a particular configuration when there is extreme scale difference between the wavelength of the incident wave, the thickness of metal films, and the size of gap apertures. Based upon a rigorous study of the perfect electrical conductor model for the transverse ...

Many numerical models for weather prediction and climate studies are run at resolutions that are too coarse to resolve convection explicitly, but too fine to justify the local equilibrium assumed by conventional convective parametrizations. The Plant–Craig (PC) stochastic convective parametrization scheme, developed in this paper, solves this problem by removing the assumption that a given grid...

The windings of high-field accelerator magnets are usually made of Rutherford-type superconducting cables. The magnetic field distribution along the axis of such magnets exhibits a periodic modulation with a wavelength equal to the twist pitch length of the cable used in the winding. This effect, resulting from quasipersistent currents, was investigated with a Hall probes array inserted inside ...

Considerable debate exists regarding the accuracy of intelligence tests with members of different groups. This study investigated differential predictive validity of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Fourth Edition. Participants from the WISC-IV–WIAT-II standardization linking sample (N = 550) ranged in age from 6 through 16 years (M = 11.6, SD = 3.2) and varied by the demographic va...
