We present a broad-brush survey of the phenomenology, history and importance of the electron-cloud effect (ECE). We briefly discuss the simulation techniques used to quantify the electron-cloud (EC) dynamics. Finally, we present in more detail an effective theory to describe the EC density build-up in terms of a few effective parameters. For further details, the reader is encouraged to refer to...

The appearance of the upper anterior teeth in the preoperative situation was unsatisfactory. Tooth 11 looked particularly unattractive. Neither its shape nor its shade satisfied the standards of a high-quality dental restoration. In order to obtain a clearer picture of the preoperative situation, a greyscale image was produced (Figure 1). This image illustrates the insufficient brilliancy as we...

’ university’s legendary debating society) a week after that. Coaches were to carry the Oxford students to the London event, and protests had to be organised for Clegg’s visit. As the capital greeted thousands of students from across the UK on a bright crisp November morning, the news emerged that Clegg had cancelled his visit to Oxford “due to an unfortunate clash of diaries”. The Oxford stude...

We have developed the Correlation-based Adaptive Predictive Search (CAPS) as a fast search strategy for multidimensional template matching. A 2D template is analyzed, and certain characteristics are computed from its autocorrelation. The extracted information is then used to speed up the search procedure. This method provides a significant improvement in computation time while retaining the acc...

The original CAPS formulation focused on the role of the individual's CAPS system in relation to situations, formalizing a person-situation framework. Subsequent research and theorizing on the culturally embedded CAPS system (C-CAPS) began to spell out how culture, context, and group-level processes intersect with both persons and situations. The contributions in this special section provide in...

This paper presents work in progress on an approach to the problem of recognizing blasting caps in x-ray images. An analysis of functional properties of blasting caps was used to design the representation space, which combines intensity and shape features. Recognition proceeds in two phases. The rst phase is a bottom-up process in which low intensity blobs are used as attention-catching devices...

Borrower-based macroprudential (MP) policies - such as caps on loan-to-value (LTV) ratios and debt-service-to-income (DSTI) limits contain the build-up of systemic risk by reducing probability conditional impact a crisis. While LTV/DSTI can increase inequality at introduction, they dampen in under adverse macroeconomic conditions. The relative size these opposing effects is an empirical questio...
