Consider the following model: we have N parallel sticks of integer length, and at integer moments exactly one stick grows by 1, with the probability of k-th stick growing proportional to a fixed power 1'1of its length, properly normalized. Equivalently, we consider sequences of points of the first quadrant of Rn such that on each step exactly one of the coordinates of the point gets incremented...

The AGL equation includes all multiple pomeron exchanges in the double logarithmic approximation (DLA) limit, leading to an unitarized gluon distribution in the small x regime. This equation was originally obtained using the Glauber-Mueller approach. We demonstrate in this contribution that the AGL equation can also be obtained from the dipole picture. Our conclusion is that the AGL equation is...

It is now widely recognized that the isolation of circulating tumor cells based on cell surface markers might be hindered by variability in their protein expression. Especially in pancreatic cancer, isolation based only on EpCAM expression has produced very diverse results. Methods that are independent of surface markers and therefore independent of phenotypical changes in the circulating cells...

In a canine model using DLA-identical littermate pairs, we have shown that a regimen of three transfusions of donor blood given 24, 17, and 10 days before transplant uniformly leads to marrow graft rejection, presumably due to sensitization to minor (non-DLA) histocompatibility antigens. Untransfused dogs uniformly achieve sustained engraftment. In the present study, we investigated whether the...

Dielectric laser acceleration (DLA) is the technique utilizing strong electric fields in lasers to accelerate electrons in the proximity of nanoscaled dielectric gratings. The concept was recently demonstrated in experimental studies. Here, we describe the experimental DLA investigation setup design including laser system and scanning electron microscope (SEM). We also present the grating manuf...

We examine the branch structure of radial diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) clusters for evidence of multifractality. The lacunarity of DLA clusters is measured and the generalized dimensions D(q) of their mass distribution is estimated using the sandbox method. We find that the global n-fold symmetry of the aggregates can induce anomalous scaling behavior into these measurements. However, ne...

After demonstrating their general expressions valid at all x, double differential 1-particle inclusive distributions inside a quark and a gluon jet produced in a hard process, together with the inclusive k⊥ distributions, are calculated at small x in the Modified Leading Logarithmic Approximation (MLLA), as functions of the transverse momentum k⊥ of the outgoing hadron. Results are compared wit...

The galaxy giving rise to the damped Lyα absorbing system in the QSO OI 363 with z = 0.221 has been found. A galaxy which is probably associated with the second DLA in this same QSO at z = 0.0912 has also been found. Neither galaxy is very luminous, and neither galaxy shows signs of extensive current star formation, a massive disk or lots of gas. The impact parameters for each of the two galaxi...

In the recent years, several concurrent logical systems for reasoning about agency and social interaction and for representing game properties have been proposed. The aim of the present paper is to put some order in this ‘jungle’ of logics by studying the relationship between the dynamic logic of agency DLA and the game description language GDL. The former has been proposed as a variant of the ...

We use Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 2 QSO spectra to constrain the dust-reddening caused by intervening damped Lyα systems (DLAs). Comparing the spectral index distribution of a 79 sight-line DLA sample with that of a large control sample reveals no evidence for dust-reddening at z∼3. Our limit on the shift in spectral index, |∆α|<0.14 (3 σ), corresponds to a limit on the colour excess...
