We treat hadron-hadron collisions where the final state is kinematically of the kind associated with double-pomeron-exchange (DPE) and has large transverse momentum jets. We show that in addition to the conventional factorized (FDPE) contribution, there is a non-factorized (NDPE) contribution which has no pomeron beam jet. Within a simple model we compute DPE-two-jet total and differential cros...

High field MRI is beneficial for chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) in terms of high SNR, CNR, and chemical shift dispersion. These advantages may, however, be counter-balanced by the increased transmit field inhomogeneity normally associated with high field MRI. The relatively high sensitivity of the CEST contrast to B1 inhomogeneity necessitates the development of correction methods...

This study documents the statistical properties of the stock returns on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) for the January 1988 to December 1999 period and tries to assess the evolution of the underlying stochastic structure over this time period. It also investigates empirically the relative efficiency of the ISE to test whether the rapid development of this market over the last decade caused i...

This article seeks to raise awareness of the leader-member exchange (LMX) theory of leadership and its potential benefit to the health information management (HIM) profession. A literature review that was conducted identified a leadership challenge for HIM practitioners. The review also provides examples of leadership definitions, and potential benefits of LMX to HIM professionals in leading pe...

This paper explains why various VIX Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) with long positions of VIX futures have lost a significant amount since their introduction starting in 2009. Empirical evidence is provided to support the hypothesis that price impact due to mechanical rolling activity of VIX ETPs contributes to the catastrophic loss. It is estimated that short-term un-levered VIX ETPs with dir...

AIM To determine whether syringe exchange programs' (SEPs) dispensation policy is associated with syringe coverage among SEP clients. DESIGN Cross-sectional samples of SEPs and their clients. SETTING SEPs in California, USA. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-four SEPs and their injection drug using (IDU) clients (n = 1576). MEASUREMENTS Clients were classified as having adequate syringe coverage if t...

The generalized replica exchange method (gREM) is applied to simulate a solid-liquid phase change in an adapted Dzugutov model system. The idea of gREM is to incorporate the merit of sampling from a generalized ensemble into the replica exchange paradigm. The generalized ensemble weights are determined from effective temperatures tailored for this system, through an inverse mapping strategy. Th...

Little attention has been paid to information transmission between the portfolios of large stocks and small stocks in the Korean stock market. This study investigates the return and volatility transmission mechanisms between large and small stocks in the Korea Exchange (KRX). This study also explores whether bad news in the large stock market leads to a volatility of the small stock market that...
