In the exact propagator for finite temperature gluons the location of the transverse and longitudinal poles in the gluon propagator are unknown functions of wave vector: ωT (k) and ωL(k). The residues of the poles, also unknown, fix the normalization of the one gluon vector potential and thus of the field strength. The naive energy density ~ E · ~ D + ~ B · ~ H is not correct because of dispers...

Current research in therapies for restoring a functional form of sight to the blind includes interfacing electronic neurostimulators with some point of the visual pathway. This approach requires controlling a number of waveform parameters which might vary for every implanted patient and for every channel in an interface that may have hundred or thousands of electrodes. Therefore, the clinical, ...

The two mass model (2MM) as introduced by Ishizaka & Flanagan (1972) and simplified by Steinecke & Herzel (1995) describes many features of the vocal fold oscillation patterns [1,2]. Particularly, it was shown that a large variety of voice disorders may be explained by means of high-speed observations with subsequent interpretation by the 2MM. Laryngeal symmetry was identified as an important p...

By combining weighted distances and distances based on neighbourhood sequences, a new family of distance functions with potentially low rotational dependency is obtained. The basic theory for these distance functions, including functional form of the distance between two points, is presented for the face-centered cubic grid and the body-centered cubic grid. By minimizing an error function, the ...

control and evaluation are major secrets of an organization's survival.universities, as research and educational organizations, need to be evaluated in order to survive. the results of educational activities encompass a vast spectrum including the graduates, researchers and planners, scientific publications, as well as satisfaction of students, parents, profossors and staff (ramsden, 1996).th...

Using an increasing returns specification for distribution, an inverted-U pattern between the share of distribution in GDP and the level of development is shown to arise. A cross-section time series data set is constructed and merged with one used to analyze the service sector. In contrast to the rising pattern found for services, an average time series relation that exhibits an inverted-U patt...

This paper presents two score tests to determine a value for the Box–Cox transformation parameter. The test based on expected information performs better in small samples and is computationally simpler than the one based on observed information; therefore, the former is recommended.  2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

One of the major issues in the analysis of unemployment durations concerns the distinction between duration dependence of the exit rate out of unemployment and unobserved heterogeneity. Empirical studies rely heavily on functional form restrictions, which may be hazardous. We present a method for the nonparametric estimation of both phenomena. This method is designed to be applicable to aggrega...

In this paper we study the description of saturation in Balitsky, Jalilian-Marian, Iancu, McLerran, Weigert, Leonidov and Kovner (BJIMWLK) picture when restricted to observables made up only from dipole operators. We derive a functional form of the evolution equation for the dipole probability distribution and find a one-parameter family of exact solutions to the dipole evolution equations.
