We propose a systematic study of Bose-Einstein correlations between identical hadrons coming from different W decays. Experimentally accessible signatures of these correlations as well as of possible color reconnection effects are discussed on the basis of two-particle inclusive densities. 1 On leave from the Institute of Physics, AS of Belarus, Skaryna av.70, Minsk 220072, Belarus.

Fact: Holding force constant, a snowball thrown from 10 feet away will hurt more than one thrown from 50 feet away; it will have more impact. We show that people expect charitable donations-much like snowballs-to have more impact on nearby (vs. faraway) targets. Therefore, because making an impact is a powerful motivator of prosocial behavior, people are more willing to take action to help near...

* Although legacy income is of enormous importance to many of the UK’s fundraising charities, little reliable information exists to assist practitioners in targeting potential legatorswith appropriatemessages. In particular, themotives formakinga legacy gift and the differences between those doing so and the general supporter base are unknown. This makes segmentation and the subsequent developm...

IMPACTThis article analyses the democratic autonomy of local public actors in collaborative organizational arrangements within context European Social Investment Fund (ESIF). The authors outline three different ways that collaborations materialize and analyse how these influence a municipality’s capacity to set policy priorities decide upon matters. study shows varies partnerships depending on ...

I examine the impact that lotteries introduced to support education have on overall funding for education. Using donor-level survey data and nonprofit tax returns, I find that donations to education-related organizations fall with the introduction of a lottery. This result seems to be driven by donors’ response to the new (highly publicized) government revenue source (rather than a decrease in ...

Many articles have examined the psychological drivers of charitable giving, but little is known about how people mentally budget for charitable gifts. The present research aims to address this gap by investigating how perceptions of donations as exceptional (uncommon and infrequent) rather than ordinary (common and frequent) expenses might affect budgeting for and giving to charity. We provide ...

Pacific people in New Zealand are a minority ethnic population identified in national prevalence studies as having the highest risk of developing gambling problems. As earlier studies identified some links between culture and gambling for this population, our study aimed to deepen understanding of these links and their role in explaining the disproportionate gambling harms experienced by Pacifi...

In order to illustrate a recently derived covariant formalism for computing asymptotic symmetries and asymptotically conserved superpotentials in gauge theories, the case of gravity with minimally coupled scalar fields is considered and the matter contribution to the asymptotically conserved superpotentials is computed. ∗Research Associate of the Belgium National Fund for Scientific Research.

In this article, we consider the small-time asymptotics of options on a Leveraged Exchange-Traded Fund (LETF) when the underlying Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) exhibits both local volatility and jumps of either finite or infinite activity. Our main results are closed-form expressions for the leading order terms of off-the-money European call and put LETF option prices, near expiration, with explic...
