We consider the (nominally) very precise ππ scattering amplitude obtained by Colangelo, Gasser and Leutwyler (CGL). We point out that the input used by CGL for energies above 1.42 GeV is clearly different from what one expects the physical amplitude to be. Moreover, the error they adscribe to the δ (0) 0 phase at 0.8 GeV, an important part of their input, is much underestimated. Then, we compar...

What will the players choose? To a lay person, the answer is obvious— both players should choose the high quality platform and, consequently, enjoy higher payo¤s. To a game theorist, however, the answer is far from clear. If one player expects that the other will choose A, then clearly choosing A and enjoying a payo¤ of 2 is better than choosing the high quality platform and enjoying a payo¤ of...

in islamic jurisprudence and law, right possession comes from trades such as ijara, jualla, sulh, hiba, and irth and etc. accordingly, if someone gives money to others to judge in his favor, or expects grantee to express something wrong as a right, or unlawfully prefer endower to the others, has done something wrong that is not a right reason of possession. stating the difference between bribe ...

A hydro code coupled with radiation transfer was applied to produce monochromatic light curves of two models of type II supernovae (SN II) simulating SN II-P and SN IIb (SN 1993J-like). We then used these template light curves to evaluate the possibility of detecting SNe II at different redshifts. With a 5 hour exposure at VLT/FORS the SN II-P model may be detected at z = 1. However, since our ...

This paper presents a methodology for building an electronic dictionary of anthroponyms of European Portuguese (DicPRO), which constitutes a useful resource for computational processing, due to the importance of names in the structuring of information in texts. The dictionary has been enriched with morphosyntactic and semantic information. It was then used in the specific task of capitalizing a...

We present a longitudinal MR simulation framework which simulates the future neurodegenerative progression by outputting the predicted follow-up MR image and the voxelbased morphometry (VBM) map. This framework expects the patients to have at least 2 historical MR images available. The longitudinal and cross-sectional VBM maps are extracted to measure the affinity between the target subject and...

the Betti cycle class map. If m = 0, then the Hodge conjecture (classical form) implies that clr,0 is surjective. Beilinson ([Be]) once conjectured that cl U r,m is always surjective. It was Jannsen ([J3]) who was the first to find a counterexample, in the case m = 1, where the complex numbers C are used in an essential way. In contrast to this, one expects the surjectivity of clr,m in the case...

If the source of the slow solar wind is a web comprising pseudostreamer belts connected to the streamer belt, then one expects the properties of interplanetary pseudostreamer flows to be similar to those of streamer flows. That expectation is tested with data from the slow wind preceding stream interfaces in stream interaction regions at 1 AU, where the interfaces separate what was originally s...
