The instanton–anti-instanton pair induced asymptotics of perturbation theory expansion for the cross section of electron–positron pair annihilation to hadrons and hadronic width of τ -lepton was found. For Nf = Nc the nonperturbative instanton contribution is finite and may be calculated without phenomenological input. The instanton induced peturbative asymptotics was shown to be enhanced as (n...

The method of constructing unitary S-matrices developed in a recent paper is generalized and applied to two versions of the multiperipheral model. In these models the standard perturbation expansion of the S-matrix diverges, so an alternative expansion with improved convergence properties is developed. It is shown that the unitarity condition generates a new type of cut in the angular momentum ...

Companies must simultaneously focus on cost and time efficient product development as well as enabling radical and incremental innovation for long-term survival.

As new technologies and a growing desire to engage with global audiences have led many historians to change and adapt their scholarship in a variety of novel ways, we believe that it is of great value to look critically at, and to engage with, the wide variety of media that illuminate the history of medicine. The internet,...
