CP asymmetries in B(t) → ππ are studied by relating this process in broken flavor SU(3) with B → Kπ and B → Kπ. Using two different scenarios for SU(3) breaking, we show that the range of values of the weak phase α permitted by the measured asymmetries overlaps with that obtained from other CKM constraints, supporting the KM origin of the asymmetries. We evaluate the potential precision of this...

Current understanding of the critical outbreak condition on temporal networks relies on approximations (time scale separation, discretization) that may bias the results. We propose a theoretical framework to compute the epidemic threshold in continuous time through the infection propagator approach. We introduce the weak commutation condition allowing the interpretation of annealed networks, ac...

It is argued that singlet extensions of the MSSM at the weak scale are indicative of either gauged-R symmetry or target space duality in a string effective action at the Planck scale. The criteria used are satisfactory primordial nucleosynthesis, absence of fine-tuning, and absence of cosmological problems such as domain walls. Models which have a global discrete symmetry such as the NMSSM may ...

Team formation is a critical step in deploying a multi-agent team. In some scenarios, agents coordinate by voting continuously. When forming such teams, should we focus on the diversity of the team or on the strength of each member? Can a team of diverse (and weak) agents outperform a uniform team of strong agents? In this demo, the user will be able to explore these questions by playing one of...

FIG. 1. Centrality dependence of the nuclear modification factor for the combined (1S+2S+3S) yield in Au-Au at RHIC (upper panels) and for the (1S) in Pb-Pb at LHC, compared to STAR [5] and CMS [6] data. Left and right panels correspond to the strongand weak-binding scenarios, respectively. The green bands indicate uncertainties in pre-equilibrium nuclear absorption and shadowing effects. Bot...

Sensitive CO observations are presented for a sample of elliptical galaxies which are luminous X-ray and weak far infrared (FIR) emitters. Only non-detections were obtained. The absence of detectable amounts of CO (this includes the previously ‘detected’ prototypical galaxy NGC4472) does not support those standard cooling flow scenarios in which dust grain sputtering reduces the FIR luminosity,...

in this paper, a stochastic two-stage model is offered for optimization of the day-ahead scheduling of the microgrid. system uncertainties including dispatchable distributed generation and energy storage contingencies are considered in the stochastic model. for handling uncertainties, monte carlo simulation is employed for generation several scenarios and then a reduction method is used to d...

The Fudenberg and Maskin folk theorem for discounted repeated games assumes that the set of feasible payoffs is full dimensional . We obtain the same conclusion using a weaker condition. This condition is that no pair of players has equivalent von Neumann-Morgenstern utilities over outcomes. We term this condition NEU ("non-equivalent utilities"). The condition is weak, easily interpreted, and ...

We deene a property of substructures of models of arithmetic, that of being length-initial , and show that sharply bounded formulae are absolute between a model and its length-initial submodels. We use this to prove independence results for some weak fragments of bounded arithmetic by constructing appropriate models as length-initial submodels of some given model.

In many practical situations, we are not satisfied with the accuracy of the existing measurements. There are two possible ways to improve the measurement accuracy: • first, instead of a single measurement, we can make repeated measurements; the additional information coming from these additional measurements can improve the accuracy of the result of this series of measurements; • second, we can...
