In a recent Letter [1] (and in ref. [2]), Filipponi, Pancheri and Srivastava report on the construction of a formula for linear Regge trajectories for all quark flavors: α j ¯ i (t) = 0.57 − (m i + m j) GeV + 0.9 GeV 2 1 + 0.2 (m i +m j GeV) 3/2 t, (1) where m i , m j are the corresponding constituent quark masses for the j ¯ i trajectory. As the authors of [1, 2] remark, no unique quark mass c...

It is well known that the category of super Lie groups (SLG) is equivalent to the category of super Harish-Chandra pairs (SHCP). Using this equivalence, we define the category of unitary representations (UR’s) of a super Lie group. We give an extension of the classical inducing construction and Mackey imprimitivity theorem to this setting. We use our results to classify the irreducible unitary ...

Introduction: Delivered dose of solute removal (assessed by Kt/v) is an important determinant of clinical outcome in chronic dialysis patients. The gold standard for Kt/v is the direct quantification of the removed urea. A new method, ionic dialysance has been suggested and used over the years. This method is faster, less expensive and non invasive. The objective of this study is to determine t...

In recent years, several combinatorial problems were introduced in the area of access control. Typically, such problems deal with an authorization policy, seen as a relation UR ⊆ U ×R, where (u, r) ∈ UR means that user u is authorized to access resource r. Li, Tripunitara and Wang (2009) introduced the Resiliency Checking Problem (RCP), in which we are given an authorization policy, a subset of...

Sheep are used as models for the human spine, yet comparative in vivo data necessary for validation is limited. The purpose of this study was therefore to compare spinal motion and trunk muscle activity during active trunk movements in sheep and humans. Three-dimensional kinematic data as well as surface electromyography (sEMG) of spinal flexion and extension was compared in twenty-four humans ...

Advanced techniques for pattern detection and time series reconstruction are applied to look for deviations from randomness in random time series generated under di erent conditions. Based on a detailed error analysis, evidence for signi cant non-random contributions is found under conditions in which human agents are asked to carry out intentional tasks e ectively corresponding to deviations f...

Bean rust, caused by Uromyces appendiculatus, is a devastating disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in the Americas and Africa. The historically important Ur-3 gene confers resistance to many races of the highly variable bean rust pathogen that overcome other rust resistance genes. Existing molecular markers tagging Ur-3 for use in marker-assisted selection produce false results. Here, w...
