We briefly report the modern status of heavy quark sum rules (HQSR) based on stability criteria by emphasizing recent progresses for determining QCD parameters (αs, mc,b and gluon condensates) where their correlations have been taken into account. The results: αs(MZ) = 0.1181(16)(3), m‾c(m‾c)=1286(16)MeV, m‾b(m‾b)=4202(7)MeV, 〈αsG2〉 (6.49±0.35)×10−2 GeV4, 〈g3G3〉 (8.2±1.0)×GeV2〈αsG2〉 ones from l...

Background: Alcohol consumption has been comprehensively investigated as an etiologic risk factor for breast cancer but has received little attention in terms of its impact on prognosis after breast cancer, particularly for young women. Methods: 1286 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer at or before 45 years of age from two population-based case-control studies in the Seattle-Puget Sound...

We study the problem of estimating the ridges of a density function. Ridge estimation is an extension of mode finding and is useful for understanding the structure of a density. It can also be used to find hidden structure in point cloud data. We show that, under mild regularity conditions, the ridges of the kernel density estimator consistently estimate the ridges of the true density. When the...

A globally supersymmetric model of inflation will not work in a generic supergravity theory because the higher order, nonrenormalisable supergravity corrections destroy the flatness of the inflaton’s potential. In this talk I derive a form for the Kähler potential which eliminates these corrections if W = Wφ = ψ = 0 during inflation (where W is the superpotential, the inflaton ∈ φ, and Wψ 6= 0)...
