The Ford Pinto Case and the Development of Auto Safety Regulations, 1893-1978

In an influential 1977 article in Mother Jones magazine, journalist Ma•k Dowie accused Ford Motor Company executives of callously deciding to produce and continuing to market he Pinto (which he labeled a "firetrap") even after company crash tests showed that its gas tank would mptu•e in rea•end collisions at relatively low speeds [Dowie, 1977]. This reprehensible decision, according to Dowie's ...

B?J/?(?,K) Decays within QCD Factorization Approach

We used QCD factorization for the hadronic matrix elements to show that the existing data, in particular the branching ratios BR ( ?J/?K) and BR ( ?J/??), can be accounted for this approach. We analyzed the decay within the framework of QCD factorization. We have complete calculation of the relevant hard-scattering kernels for twist-2 and twist-3. We calculated this decays in a special scale ...

On a Theorem of Conant-vogtmann

We prove that the graph complex is a strong homotopy Lie (super) bialgebra.

Final State Interaction Effects in B+→J/ψ π+ Decay

In this research the exclusive decay of                         is calculated by QCD factorization (QCDF) method and final state interaction (FSI). First, the  decay is calculated via QCDF method. The result that is found by using the QCDF method is less than the experimental result. So FSI is considered to solve the decay. For this decay, via the exchange of mesons are chosen for the intermedi...
