Introducing a concept of real, as opposed to nominal, inequality of income or wealth suggests some historical reinterpretations, buttressed by a closer look at consumption by the rich. The purchasing powers of different income classes depend on how relative prices move. The influence of relative prices on real inequality was greater in the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries than in the twen...

We study the two-body and three-body charmful baryonic B decays: B 0 → Λc p̄ and B → Λc p̄ π(ρ). The factorizable W -exchange contribution to B 0 → Λc p̄ is negligible. Applying the bag model to evaluate the baryon-to-baryon weak transition matrix element, we find B(B → Λc p̄) <∼ 2.5 × 10−5|gB0pΣ+b /8| 2 with gB0pΣ+ b being a strong coupling for the decay Σb → B 0 p and hence the predicted branchin...

Trans - ionospheric GPS signal delay gradients observed over mid - latitude Europe during the geomagnetic storms of October - November 2003

Ionospheric disturbances are known to have adverse effects on the satellite-based communication and navigation. One particular type of ionospheric effects, observed during major geomagnetic storms and threatening the integrity performance of both ground-based and space-based GNSS augmentation systems, is the sharp increase/decrease in the ionospheric delay that propagates in horizontal directio...
