The use of energy flow is investigated as a diagnostic tool for determining the color SU(3) representation of new resonances. It is found that the pattern of soft gluon radiation into a rapidity gap depends on color flow in the hard scattering, and reflects the gauge content of new physics. The massive soft anomalous dimension matrix for rapidity gap events is introduced for describing soft glu...

Spacing subshifts are a class of subshifts of a full shift on two symbols, defined in a superficially similar fashion to S-gap shifts. They were introduced by Lau and Zame in 1973 to give accessible examples of maps that are weakly (topologically) mixing but not strongly mixing, but have attracted little attention since. This talk will discuss the variety of topological dynamical behaviours the...

3 The first few stages of interoperability have laid important groundwork and provide benefits to health organizations worldwide. However, the next level of interoperability desired by many of these organizations requires closer alignment with patient and provider needs.

We study the aggregate gap between intended and actual fertility in 20 countries in Europe and the United States, adopting a cohort approach that differs from the period approach widely used in prior research. We compare the mean intended number of children and percentage intending to be childless among young women aged 25-29, measured during the 1990s, with the data on completed or almost comp...

Terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) have the potential to revolutionise measurement of the three-dimensional structure of vegetation canopies for applications in ecology, hydrology and climate change. This potential has been the subject of recent research that has attempted to measure forest biophysical variables from TLS data, and make comparisons with two-dimensional data from hemispherical phot...

We are experiencing an abundance of Internet-of-Things (IoT) middleware solutions that provide connectivity for sensors and actuators to the Internet. To gain a widespread adoption, these middleware solutions, referred to as platforms, have to meet the expectations of different players in the IoT ecosystem, including device providers, application developers, and end-users, among others. In this...

The Gap statistic is a standard method for determining the number of clusters in a set of data. The Gap statistic standardizes the graph of log(Wk), where Wk is the within-cluster dispersion, by comparing it to its expectation under an appropriate null reference distribution of the data. We suggest to use Wk instead of log(Wk), and to compare it to the expectation of Wk under a null reference d...

Contemporary conception of information has been studied for decades. Starting from legal viewpoint, purpose of this article is to provide methodological understanding of the conception and classification of information in the domain of law, and the challenge it poses to the traditional legal system. In this article, information is classified into five categories according to the value it has an...

This paper is concerned with the field enhancement when an electromagnetic wave passes through subwavelength metallic gaps. We focus on a particular configuration when there is extreme scale difference between the wavelength of the incident wave, the thickness of metal films, and the size of gap apertures. Based upon a rigorous study of the perfect electrical conductor model for the transverse ...

The Gap Analysis Program (GAP) is a nationwide effort to find areas of suitable habitat in the US, which if protected from habitat degradation, may help to preserve the native animal and plant biodiversity. In recent years, the GAP protocols used to analyze habitat data have become more scale and species dependent. This research describes the creation of a Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS)...
