The anapole form factor of the nucleon is calculated in chiral perturbation theory to sub-leading order. This is the lowest order in which the isovector anapole form factor does not vanish. The anapole moment depends on counterterms that reflect short-range dynamics, but the momentum dependence of the form factor is determined by pion loops in terms of parameters that could in principle be fixe...

We study the problem of computing an Extensive-Form Perfect Equilibrium (EFPE) in 2-player games. This equilibrium concept refines the Nash equilibrium requiring resilience w.r.t. a specific vanishing perturbation (representing mistakes of the players at each decision node). The scientific challenge is intrinsic to the EFPE definition: it requires a perturbation over the agent form, but the age...

We propose to investigate the subthreshold photoproduction of the three lowest mass vector mesons, V = , !, and . In the subthreshold energy region, de ned here as the energy region below the +N ! V +N reaction threshold on the free nucleon, VMD-driven vector meson production is suppressed and the in uence of hadronic matter on the masses of the vector mesons is emphasized. This method is the o...

We propose a method for learning clusters of pharmacokinetic models demonstrated on a clinical data set investigating the 11β-HSD1 activity in healthy adults. Prednisone has an identical affinity for 11β-HSD1 as cortisone and the interconversion of oral prednisone to prednisolone has been used as a marker of the enzyme activity. The parameters of the multi-compartment ordinary differential equa...

The present paper deals with viscoelastic flows in a thin domain. In particular, we derive and analyse the asymptotic equations of the Stokes-Oldroyd system in thin films (including shear effects). We present a numerical method which solves the corresponding problem and present some related numerical tests which evidence the effects of the elastic contribution on the flow. Introduction. Much li...

While online services emerge in all areas of life, the voting procedure in many democracies remains paper-based as the security of current online voting technology is highly disputed. We address the issue of trustworthy online voting protocols and recall therefore their security concepts with its trust assumptions. Inspired by the Bitcoin protocol, the prospects of distributed online voting pro...
