Path Integral Monte Carlo simulations have been performed for U(1) lattice gauge theory in (2+1) dimensions on anisotropic lattices. We extract the static quark potential, the string tension and the low-lying “glueball” spectrum. The Euclidean string tension and mass gap decrease exponentially at weak coupling in excellent agreement with the predictions of Polyakov and Göpfert and Mack, but the...

A novel inattention search paradigm (Mack & Rock, 1998) was used to assess the visual efficiency of fluorescent colored relative to nonfluorescent colored highway signs in a laboratory setting. Unexpected presentation of a fluorescent colored search target was not accompanied by an improvement in visual search time. However, visual search times improved dramatically once the participants develo...

Abstract We propose a new estimator for the ultimate prediction uncertainty within famous Mack’s distribution-free chain-ladder model, which can be proved to unbiased (conditionally given first triangle column) under some additional technical assumptions. A peculiar behaviour of is by its possible negativity. This drawback might worth trading off unbiasedness property, since there empirical evi...

The impact of pests and diseases on agricultural crops has been amplified due to global environmental changes, resulting in an estimated adverse effect 1.4 trillion dollars, which is approximately 5% the world's gross domestic product. Research was conducted various species parasitic entomophages, such as Aphidius matricaria Hal, gifuensis Ashm, Lysiphlebus japonica Tokawa, ervi fabarum Marsh, ...

426 BioScience • May 2008 / Vol. 58 No. 5 www.biosciencemag.org T impact of introduced, invasive species on communities and ecosystems is one of today’s most pressing global environmental problems (Wilcove et al. 1998, Mack et al. 2000). Biological invasions are a leading cause of extinction and biodiversity loss (Wilcove et al. 1998), and invasive plants are permanently altering natural commun...

It is axiomatic that most children, unlike adults, learn to speak and understand a second language (L2) in a native-like manner1 (Munro, Flege, & MacKay, 1996). One of the most salient factors influencing the outcome of child and adult L2 learning is the effect of the leamer's native language (Ll) on the ability to learn L2 consonants and vowels (or "sounds" for short). Adult L2 learners' speec...
