We present a critical analysis of Padé-based methods for the unitarization of low energy amplitudes. We show that the use of certain Padé Approximants to describe the resonance region may lead to inaccurate determinations. In particular, we find that in the Linear Sigma Model the unitarization of the low energy amplitude through the inverse amplitude method produces essentially incorrect result...

Process Management and Six Sigma methodologies have been in existence for more than 15 years. Both approaches to business performance improvement have assisted and continue to help businesses improve their performance. Both Gartner and AMR have taken a bullish position on the adoption of Process Management. Currently, 25% of US based companies with annual revenue greater than $200 million have ...

Let $A$ be a Noetherian ring, $I$ be an ideal of $A$ and $sigma$ be a semi-prime operation, different from the identity map on the set of all ideals of $A$. Results of Essan proved that the sets of associated prime ideals of $sigma(I^n)$, which denoted by $Ass(A/sigma(I^n))$, stabilize to $A_{sigma}(I)$. We give some properties of the sets $S^{sigma}_{n}(I)=Ass(A/sigma(I^n))setminus A_{sigma}(I...

let $g$ be a simple graph‎, ‎and $g^{sigma}$‎ ‎be an oriented graph of $g$ with the orientation ‎$sigma$ and skew-adjacency matrix $s(g^{sigma})$‎. ‎the $k-$th skew spectral‎ ‎moment of $g^{sigma}$‎, ‎denoted by‎ ‎$t_k(g^{sigma})$‎, ‎is defined as $sum_{i=1}^{n}( ‎‎‎lambda_{i})^{k}$‎, ‎where $lambda_{1}‎, ‎lambda_{2},cdots‎, ‎lambda_{n}$ are the eigenvalues of $g^{sigma}$‎. ‎suppose‎ ‎$g^{sigma...

Purpose This paper aims to explore the existence of convergence in non-monetary working conditions Europe resorting widely used definitions this phenomenon and composite indexes job quality. Design/methodology/approach The analysis relies on indexes, previous literature, for 207 regions six different areas quality drawing microdata European Working Conditions Survey from 1995 2015. study assess...

In this paper, we outline (i) why σ -convergence may not accompany β-convergence, (ii) discuss evidence of β-convergence in the United States, and (iii) use U.S. county-level data containing over 3,000 cross-sectional observations to demonstrate that σ -convergence cannot be detected at the county level across the United States, or within the large majority of the individual U.S. states conside...

‎A ring $R$ is strongly clean provided that every element‎ ‎in $R$ is the sum of an idempotent and a unit that commutate‎. ‎Let‎ ‎$T_n(R,sigma)$ be the skew triangular matrix ring over a local‎ ‎ring $R$ where $sigma$ is an endomorphism of $R$‎. ‎We show that‎ ‎$T_2(R,sigma)$ is strongly clean if and only if for any $ain‎ ‎1+J(R)‎, ‎bin J(R)$‎, ‎$l_a-r_{sigma(b)}‎: ‎Rto R$ is surjective‎. ‎Furt...

‎Let $R$ be a $*$-prime ring with center‎ ‎$Z(R)$‎, ‎$d$ a non-zero $(sigma,tau)$-derivation of $R$ with associated‎ ‎automorphisms $sigma$ and $tau$ of $R$‎, ‎such that $sigma$‎, ‎$tau$‎ ‎and $d$ commute with $'*'$‎. ‎Suppose that $U$ is an ideal of $R$ such that $U^*=U$‎, ‎and $C_{sigma,tau}={cin‎ ‎R~|~csigma(x)=tau(x)c~mbox{for~all}~xin R}.$ In the present paper‎, ‎it is shown that if charac...
