We comment on several aspects of Skilling's paper presented at Valencia 8. In particular we prove the convergence in probability of the algorithm for a wide class of situations, comment on its potential utility and discuss aspects where further work is needed to assess the approach.

Motivated by the forthcoming data from the E950 experiment at BNL for small angle polarized proton-carbon scattering we revisit the problem of Coulomb phase. The usually used approximation of the momentum transfer squared (q 2) small compared to the inverse elastic slope is not justified within the kinematics of the E950 experiment. We go beyond this approximation and derive a new rather simple...

This section introduces some of the basic concepts of radioactivity. It is designed to provide the general reader with an overall understanding of the radiological sections of this report. A discussion of the analyses used to quantify radioactive material, the common sources of radioactivity in the environment, and how each contributes to an individual’s radiation dose are provided. Some genera...

The approximation usually used, with the momentum transfer squared (q 2) small compared to the inverse elastic slope, is not justified within the kinematics of the E950 experiment.

Schäfer Department of Physics, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 17695 Riken-BNL Research Center, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973 Abstract We study scalar (q̄q) and (q̄q)2 correlation functions in the instanton liquid model. We show that the instanton liquid ...

mycoplasma gallisepticum is the most important and infectious mycoplasmosis. it is caused lots of economic losses for poultry's industry of iran. the target of this study is comparison of culture and nested pcr techniques to detect mycoplasma gallisepticum infection of chicken’s from industrial farms in kerman province of iran. 88 isolates received from industrial farms of kerman province of ir...

Anaplasma bovis is a leukocytotropic agent of bovine anaplasmosis and there is no available information about molecular study on this agent in cattle of Iran. In this study a total 150 cattle blood samples were collected from central part of Iran. The presence of A. bovis examined using light microscopic detection and species-specific nested polymerase chain reaction (nested-PCR) based on 16S r...
