We identify a ‘‘ selection rule’’ for N resonances in the presence of QCD mixing effects. We quantify these mixing effects from existing data and predict amplitudes for exciting 20 representations in SU(6), which are forbidden in strict diquark models. By classifying Particle-Data-Group (PDG) states at N 2, we show that N ! K , K , K , K , and J= ! pN are ideal probes of baryon dynamics and for...

The purpose of this paper is to point out that an asymptotic rule A+B/u for the ultimate ruin probability applies to a wide class of dependent risk processes, in continuous or discrete time. That dependence is incorporated through a mixing model in the individual claim amount distributions. Several special mixing distributions are examined in detail and some close-form formulas are derived. Cla...

Direct Monte Carlo simulation of internal energies of departure for binary mixtures of geological interest are gathered and compared to those calculated using a linear mixing rule. Simulation results for gas–oil, oil–oil, and oil–water mixtures show that the linear mixing rule used in the Gibbs–Helmholtz Constrained (GHC) equation of state framework gives accurate approximations of binary mixtu...

We present the computation of effective refractive coefficients for inhomogeneous two-component grains with 3 kinds of inclusions with mincl = 3.0 + 4.0i, 2.0 + 1.0i, 2.5 + 0.0001i and a matrix with mm = 1.33 + 0.01i for 11 volume fractions of inclusions from 0% to 50% and wavelengths λ=0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0 μm. The coefficients of extinction for these grains have been computed using a discrete...

Williams Syndrome (WS), a rare genetic disorders caused by hemizyous deletion of ~26 genes on the chromosome 7, has unique cognitive features and neuroanatomic abnormalities. Limited in statistical power due to its rareness had led to inconsistent in many direct comparisons using structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and their associations with cognitive features of WS are not clear. Her...

Coral diseases, such as white diseases and white syndrome (WS), have caused widespread damage to coral reefs throughout the Caribbean and are increasing in prevalence on Pacific Ocean reefs. The current study confirms that WS is also present on coral reefs in the Indian Ocean and tests whether patterns in taxonomic susceptibility and spatial variability conform to patterns of WS reported in the...

Bacterial adaptation to new environments often leads to the establishment of new genotypes with significantly altered phenotypes. In the Wrinkly Spreader (WS), ecological success in static liquid microcosms was through the rapid colonisation of the air-liquid interface by the production of a cellulose-based biofilm. Rapid surface spreading was also seen on agar plates, but in this two-dimension...

Homozygous mutant rats at the newly found white spotting (Ws) locus were anemic and deficient in mast cells and melanocytes. Because the phenotype of Ws/Ws rats resembled the phenotype of mice possessing a double-gene dose of mutant alleles at the W locus and because the c-kit gene was mapped at the W locus of mice, we characterized the c-kit gene of Ws/Ws rats. The authentic sequence of the ra...

Since the convergence of transactional Web Services and workflow management, human interaction can be a determining factor for the length of a distributed business-to-business transaction. Such transactions of unknown duration (e.g. due to human interaction) can be modeled properly neither as a short-running WS-AtomicTransaction nor as a long-running WS-BusinessActivity. Our proposal is to add ...

The number of publicly available Web services (WS) is continuously growing. To perform efficient WS discovery, it is desirable to organize the WS space. Works in this direction propose to group WS according to certain shared properties. Such groups commonly called communities are based either on similarity or on interaction between WS. In this paper we focus on the former, and propose a new net...
