We show that inflation can occur in the core of a Q-ball.

Extending the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with three righthanded neutrino superfields is one of the best motivated scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model. However, very little is known from observations about the high energy parameters of this model. In this paper we show, under the plausible assumptions that the neutrino Yukawa eigenvalues are hierarchical and the absence of...

Nuisance parameters are common in high energy physics (HEP), and various methods are used for incorporating their effects into measurements of physics interest. A survey of some of the professional statistics literature provides justification for and insight into most of the methods commonly used in HEP. There are extensions and refinements whose usefulness could still be explored, especially i...

We present our vision for Altocumulus, a new model for heterogeneous computing that establishes an intermediate layer between cloud computing and the devices at the edge of the network by harvesting their resources and coordinating their use. We discuss this idea by illustrating examples of potential applications and summarizing the results of our prior work that provide some base frameworks fo...

This white paper is sent by INFN network team, the Italian National Institute for nuclear physics, whose network, named INFNet, is a nationwide network founded to provide the access to existing national and international HEP laboratory and to facilitate communications between the researchers. With this paper we would like to emphasize the key points that we would to consider if charged with IPn...

An important task of multidatabase systems is the integration of existing databases. Database Integration is achieved primarily through the use of generalization. Hence, it is important to develop good tactics for processing queries over generalization hierarchies. This paper defines the class of conjunctive generalization queries, and it describes four tactics for processing those queries that...

In this paper we describe the difficulties we faced to evaluate performance of heterogeneous cluster so that we get reliable performance analysis of a given cluster or in that matter ”cluster of cluster” system. We also describe the options that we thought for such an analysis. We started with homogeneous machines and tried to develop a model to identify the issues that would arise in a general...

The nonparametric estimation(NE) of kernel polynomial regression (KPR) model is a powerful tool to visually depict the effect of covariates on response variable, when there exist unstructured and heterogeneous data. In this paper we introduce KPR model that is the mixture of nonparametric regression models with bootstrap algorithm, which is considered in a heterogeneous and unstructured framewo...
