The fact that several important effects in multiparticle dynamics, on which QCD has not yet satisfactory predictions, have been interpreted in terms of the validity of negative binomial (Pascal) regularity and related clan properties at the level of simpler substructures, raises intriguing questions on clan properties in all classes of collisions, the main one being whether clans are observable...

Perfect simulation of an one-dimensional loss network on R with length distribution π and cable capacity C is performed using the clan of ancestors method. Domination of the clan of ancestors by a branching process with longer memory improves the sufficient conditions for the perfect scheme to be applicable.

Clan concept has been introduced in multiparticle dynamics in order to interpret the wide occurrence of negative binomial (NB) regularity in n-charged particle multiplicity distributions (MDs) in various high energy collisions. The centrality of clan concept led to the attempt to justify its occurrence within a statistical model of clan formation and evolution. In this framework all thermodynam...

BACKGROUND The number of tribes present within Bangladesh has been estimated to approximate one hundred and fifty. Information on traditional medicinal practices, particularly of the smaller tribes and their clans is lacking. It was the objective of the study to document the tribal medicinal practices of the Deb barma clan of the Tripura tribe, which clan can be found residing in Dolusora Tripu...

Purpose – To provide a mechanism for agents to form, maintain, and reason within medium-term coalitions, called clans, based upon the notions of trust and motivation. Design/methodology/approach – The model is based upon the notions of trust (representing an agent’s assessment of another’s honesty and reliability) and motivations (which represent an agent’s high-level goals). The paper describe...

Perfect simulation of an one-dimensional loss network on R with length distribution π and cable capacity C can performed using the clan of ancestors method. Domination of the clan of ancestors by a branching process with dependency in two generations improves the known sufficient conditions for the perfect scheme to be applicable.

Although popular text search engines allow users to retrieve similar web pages, source code search engines do not have this feature. Knowing similarity between applications plays an important role in improving understanding and assessing reusability of these applications, rapid prototyping, and discovering code theft and plagiarism. However, detecting similar applications is a notoriously diffi...
