Natural images are highly structured in their spatial configuration. Where one would expect a different spatial distribution for every image, as each image has a different spatial layout, we show that the spatial statistics of recorded images can be explained by a single process of sequential fragmentation. The observation by a resolution limited sensory system turns out to have a profound infl...

The large data sample accumulated at the KEKB storage ring allows for dedicated analysis in charm spectroscopy. This made the first observations of e.g. the broad D∗∗ resonances in B decays as well as other processes possible. The observation of the DsJ(2317) resonances are confirmed and indications of their quantum numbers are given. The fragmentation function for D has been measured with unpr...

The multiplicity distributions for individual fragment Z values in nuclear multifragmentation are binomial. The extracted maximum value of the mul-tiplicity, m Z , is found to depend on Z according to m Z = Z 0 /Z, where Z 0 is the source size. This is shown to be a strong indication of statistical coverage of fragmentation phase space. The inferred source sizes coincide with those extracted fr...

This document describes an RTP payload format for efficient and flexible transporting of audio data encoded with the Adaptive TRansform Audio Coding (ATRAC) family of codecs. Recent enhancements to the ATRAC family of codecs support high-quality audio coding with multiple channels. The RTP payload format as presented in this document also includes support for data fragmentation, elementary redu...

The functions of the gluon fragmentation into 3 P J quarkonium are calculated to order 2 s. With the recent progress in analysing quarkonium systems in QCD we show explicitly how the socalled divergence in the limit of the zero-binding energy, which is related to P-wave quarkonia, is treated correctly in the case of fragmentation functions. The obtained fragmentation functions satisfy explicitl...

Many habitat fragmentation experiments make the prediction that animal population density will be positively related to fragment, or patch, size. The mechanism that is supposed to result in this prediction is unclear, but several recent reviews have demonstrated that population density often is negatively related to patch size. Immigration behavior is likely to have an important effect on popul...

We present a proof of the existence of solutions to the continuous coagulation equation with multiple fragmentation whenever the kernels satisfy certain growth conditions. The proof relies on weak L compactness methods applied to suitably chosen approximating equations. The question of uniqueness is also considered.

For deep inelastic eN and P N processes we argue that there are three fragmentation regions instead of two when w is very large.

Most theoretical kinetic approaches proposed so far to describe fragmentation processes rely on the assumption that the fragments can be characterized by a unique relevant variable, for example their size or mass h. We investigate the consequences of introducing additional variables by considering a fragmentation model in which the fragments are described by two internal variables, h, w, and a ...

In this paper, we examine the welfare properties of strategic fragmentation under production subsidies. We first consider a case in which a production subsidy rate is given exogenously. We show that, under the fixed subsidy policy, firms choose fragmentation despite the domestic production being socially desirable. Next, we examine a situation in which the government chooses a production subsid...
