A recent theoretical model by Andersson et al. proposes that soft gluons order themselves in the form of a helix at the end of the QCD cascades. The Authors of the model present a measure of the rapidity-azimuthal angle correlation, which they call screwiness. We searched for such a signal in DELPHI data, and found no evidence for screwiness.

This article determines the most important business models that try to achieve the goals of various online education stakeholders. We employed the Delphi method to consult leading experts in online education, asking them to identify existing business models; describe potentially feasible models that are not currently implemented; identify specific categories of stakeholders involved; and identi...

This article provides a condensed discussion and explanation of the Delphi method. This technique is used for problem solving and decision making. The Delphi Method was originally developed during the cold war by the U.S. Intelligence think tank, the RAND Corporation, Santa Monica, California in the 1950's and 1960's. It was designed for use on complex or ambiguous problems that exceed the capa...

BACKGROUND In pre-hospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) more research is needed to direct and underpin care delivery and inform policy. To target future research efforts, this study aimed to determine future research priorities with representatives of the EMS field. METHODS A four-round online Delphi survey was used to discuss different viewpoints and reach consensus on research prioritie...

In the data accumulated by DELPHI during November 1995 LEP run at 130 GeV { 140 GeV, events with four fermions in the nal state have been selected. Final states l + l ? q q, q q, l + l ? and l + l ? l + l ? have been analyzed. Three events were found in agreement with expectations from Standard Model four-fermion processes of 2.3 0.14 events and two-fermion background of 0.76 0.15 events.

In this article we aim to demonstrate how Gadamerian philosophical hermeneutics may provide a sound methodological framework for researchers using the Delphi Technique (Delphi) in studies exploring health and well-being. Reporting of the use of Delphi in health and well-being research is increasing, but less attention has been given to covering its methodological underpinnings. In Delphi, a str...

A proposal for a possible upgrade around the FCA (the FCA*) based on Thin Gap Gas Chambers has been presented to DELPHI. In this note the detailed design of the FCA* layout is described.

This paper describes the results of using a modified Delphi approach designed to achieve consensus from eight discharge planning experts regarding the decision to refer hospitalized older adults for post-discharge follow-up. Experts reviewed 150 cases using an online website designed to facilitate their interaction and efforts to reach agreement on the need for a referral for post-discharge car...
