the inhuman acts of israel in the gaza strip (2008-9) have seriously violated the international humanitarian law.international documents such as the geneva convention (iv) and additional protocol to the geneva conventions (ii) relating to protecting civilians during armed conflicts have clearly indicated violation of humanitarian law during israeli’s deadly offensive at the turn of the year. u...

A bstract We discuss composite UV completions of the Nelson-Barr(NB) solution to strong CP problem. In our construction, symmetry is broken spontaneously by dynamics a hidden QCD at θ = π . focus on minimal implementation NB where visible sector contains one extra pair vector-like up/down quarks. show that theory suffers from quality problem and how may resolve it. present simple calculable sch...

We studied the formalism for construction of Bargmann invariants (BIs) as quantum mechanical geometric phases and identified CP invarince with rephasing invariant in neutral kaon system, decays, baryogenesis leptogenesis. develop this to express violation terms invariants, which allow us interpret them phases. then comment on application such generalized treatment

This study examines the nature of violations in processing one class of binding construction, namely those involving reflexives and their antecedents. When arguments of verbs appear at the point where a syntactic violation is detected, a centroparietal positivity occurs, peaking at 600 ms after the presentation of the stimulus (P600), as is consistent with other types of syntactic anomalies. Ho...

We begin with a few remarks on an explicit construction of a Bargmann-Wightman-Wigner-type quantum field theory [Phys. Lett. B 316, 102 (1993)] in which bosons and associated antibosons have opposite relative intrinsic parities. We then construct (1, 0) ⊕ (0, 1) Majorana (CP self conjugate) and Majorana-like (CΓ 5 self conjugate, Γ 5 = chirality operator) fields. We point out that this new stru...

Item reliability is of special interest for Mokken’s nonparametric item response theory, and is useful for the evaluation of item quality in nonparametric test construction research. It is also of interest for nonparametric person-fit analysis. Three methods for the estimation of the reliability of single dichotomous items are discussed. All methods are based on the assumptions of nondecreasing...

Within the framework of theories where both scalars and fermions are present, we develop a systematic prescription for the construction of CP-violating quantities that are invariant under basis transformations of those matter fields. In theories with Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking, the analysis involves the vevs’ transformation properties under a scalar basis change, with a considerable simplifi...

We generalize a previous construction of a fermiophobic model to the case of more than one extra W and Z gauge bosons. We focus in particular on the existence of screening configurations and their implication on the gauge boson mass spectrum. One of these configurations allows for the existence of a set of relatively light new gauge bosons, without violation of the quite restrictive bounds comi...

We propose a methodology for automatic synthesis of embedded control software that accounts for exogenous disturbances. The resulting system is guaranteed, by construction, to satisfy a given specification expressed in linear temporal logic. The embedded control software consists of three components: a goal generator, a trajectory planner, and a continuous controller. We demonstrate the effecti...
