Setting limits for new particles or decay modes has been an active research area for many years. In high energy physics it received renewed interest with the unified method by Feldman and Cousins [1]. Giunti [2] and Roe and Woodroofe [3] gave variations of the unified method, trying to resolve an apparent anomaly when there are fewer events in the signal region than expected. They all discuss t...

(2) This property of discrete infinity characterizes EVERY human language; none consists of a finite set of sentences. The unchanged central goal of linguistic theory over the last fifty years has been and remains to give a precise, formal characterization of this property and then to explain how humans develop (or grow) and use discretely infinite linguistic systems. (Epstein and Hornstein 200...

In this paper we present a solution for “weaving the claim web”, i.e. the creation of knowledge networks via so-called claims stated in scientific publications created with the SALT (Semantically Annotated LTEX) framework. To attain this objective, we provide support for claim identification, evolved the appropriate ontologies and defined a claim citation and reference mechanism. We also descri...
