After the collapse of Soviet Union and democratization former states in Central Eastern Europe, Poland’s strong economy internal stability primed it to be a leader region make post-communist success story – but this optimism would not last. The election Law Justice Party (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość Polish, PiS for short) 2015 marked significant downturn quality country’s democracy. In paper, I exam...

Abstract Determining the maximum size of a ‐intersecting code in was longstanding open problem Frankl and Füredi, solved independently by Ahlswede Khachatrian Tokushige. We extend their result to setting forbidden intersections, showing that for any large compared with (but not necessarily ) same bound holds codes weaker property being ‐avoiding, is, having no two vectors agree on exactly coord...

When is the Standard Analysis of Common Property Extraction Under Free Access Correct?---A GameTheoretic Justification for Non Game-Theoretic Analyses Analyses of common property extraction under "free access" used to assume period-byperiod rent dissipation thus avoiding the use of game theory; more modern analyses instead deduce the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium of the common property game ...

Multiple pregnancies and ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) are the most serious complications of ovarian stimulation and IVF. Indeed, they are more or less the only ones. OHSS can effectively be prevented in three stages: Before stimulation, during stimulation and at ET. Before stimulation patients should be assessed as to age, the ovarian follicular count and/or anti mullerian hormone ...

Two-state spin systems is a classical topic in statistical physics. We consider the problem of computing the partition function of the systems on a bounded degree graph. Based on the self-avoiding tree, we prove the systems exhibits strong correlation decay under the condition that the absolute value of “inverse temperature” is small. Due to strong correlation decay property, an FPTAS for the p...

We show that a triaxial atomic force microscopy probe creates a noncontact trap for a single particle in a fluid via negative dielectrophoresis. A zero in the electric field profile traps the particle above the probe surface, avoiding adhesion, and the repulsive region surrounding the zero pushes other particles away, preventing clustering. Triaxial probes are promising for three-dimensional as...

We explore how well one can probe the s quark chirality of the fundamental weak interaction of nonleptonic B decay using the spin-analyzing property of the Λ hyperon. We present the prediction of the Standard Model as quantitatively as possible in a perturbative QCD picture avoiding detailed form-factor calculation involving quark mass corrections. A clean test of chirality will be possible wit...

Copulas are increasingly studied both in theory and practice as they are a convenient tool to construct multivariate distribution functions. However the material essentially covers the bi-variate case while in applications the number of variables is much higher. Furthermore, when one wants to take into account tail dependence, a desirable property is to have enough flexibility in the tails whil...
