Human Resource Development: Some Theoretical Issues

Some theoretical issues in heavy flavour physics

Some of the recent developments in heavy flavour physics will be reviewed. This will include an update on some of the Standard Model predictions, and a summary of recent measurements that may indicate the presence of new physics (NP). The focus will be on selected models of NP that are indicated by the anomalies in the current data. Observables that can potentially yield signatures of specific ...

Atypical handedness in schizophrenia: some methodological and theoretical issues.

An updated review of the literature strongly supports the view that in schizophrenia there is an atypical leftward shift in the handedness distribution that, while comprising different subtypes, is characterized by a more variable and less completely lateralized pattern of manual preference, referred to as mixed handedness (MH) or ambiguous handedness (AH). Only two studies revealed an increase...

Emotion research and AI : Some theoretical and technical issues

This paper describes an approach that uses interactive computer games as an experimental setting for the study of emotion, behavior, and nonverbal communication. In the first, more technical part, we present a method that allows to automatically code facial behavior of a subject playing a computer game. In this procedure, facial behavior is registered automatically with the aid of small plastic...

Some Current Theoretical Issues around Ultra-high Energy Cosmic Rays *

We address some current theoretical issues around ultra-high energy cosmic rays. We recall that scenarios producing more γ−rays than cosmic rays up to high redshift can in general only provide a sub-dominant contribution to the ultra-high energy cosmic ray flux. This includes extra-galactic top-down and the Z-burst scenarios. Finally we discuss the influence of large scale cosmic magnetic field...
