Current limits from dark matter direct-detection experiments place a powerful constraint on the parameter space of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The interpretation of these limits, however, depends sensitively on the hadronic uncertainties associated with the scattering of supersymmetric dark matter particles off nucleons. For spin-independent scattering, we review the role ...

To the extent that several individuals simultaneously choose whether or not to commit the offense, it is assumed that their decisions are independent of each other. The purpose of this paper is to investigate a s...

We set up a game theoretic framework to analyze a wide range of situations from team sports. A fundamental idea is the concept of potential; the probability of the offense scoring the next goal minus the probability that the next goal is made by the defense. We develop categorical as well as continuous models, and obtain optimal strategies for both offense and defense. A main result is that the...

Considerable research has found support for the relationship between criminal offending in adolescence and criminal offending in adulthood.
