We present the optimization package in the FACTORIE library for machine learning, graphical models, and natural language processing in Scala. The library is designed with an eye towards the way practitioners naturally break down the structure of a learning problem, giving first-class status to, for example, training examples, update rules, and regularization. It supports flexible mixing and mat...

The evaluation of sum rules and vacuum condensates used in the calculation of the mixing parameters of the ω − ρ system involve dangerous cancellations of large numbers. In this note the contribution of the continuum is eliminated in order to avoid such a large source of uncertainty. It is also seen that the hypothesis of vacuum saturation used in the estimate of the dimension 6 condensate is i...

Powder mixture rules derived from the filler particles with the shapes of sphere, cylinder or rod, and lamella or disk with random distributions are studied in this paper. Three ceramic powders of fillers with dielectric constants of 10, 20, and 36, respectively, are adopted. The experimentaldielectric constantsof ceramicdispersions in thepolyethylenematrix atmicrowave frequency are compared to...

Cubic equations of state combined with excess Gibbs energy predictive models (like UNIFAC) and equations of state based on applied statistical mechanics are among the main alternatives for phase equilibria prediction involving polar substances in wide temperature and pressure ranges. In this work, the predictive performances of the PC-SAFT with association contribution and Peng-Robinson (PR) co...

Gaussian QCD sum-rules are ideally suited to the study of mixed states of gluonium (glueballs) and quark (qq̄) mesons because of their capability to resolve widely-separated states of comparable strength. The Gaussian QCD sum-rules (GSRs) for all possible two-point correlation functions of gluonic and non-strange I = 0 quark scalar (J = 0) currents are calculated and analyzed. For the non-diagon...
