The construction of self-dual vortex solutions to the Chern-SimonsHiggs model (with a suitable eighth-order potential) coupled to Einstein gravity in (2 + 1) dimensions is reconsidered. We show that the self-duality condition may be derived from the sole assumption g00 = 1. Next, we derive a family of exact, doubly self-dual vortex solutions, which interpolate between the symmetrical and asymme...

Author's note: In researching this article, literature on U.S. and Japanese management practices was reviewed extensively, and information was gathered during a visit to Japan and from research conducted with Japanese managers operating in the United States. In identifying Chinese managerial practices, the limited information available was supplemented through surveys and interviews with schola...

The Complete Tang Poems (CTP) is the most important collection for studying Tang poetry, which in turn is arguably a very influential part of the Chinese literature. Our analyzing the CTP from the perspectives of antithesis, collocation and distributional semantics offers some interesting overviews of the styles and imageries embedded in the works of some representative Tang poets. Our analyses...

The probabilistic travelling salesman problem (PTSP) is an extension of the well-known travelling salesman problem (TSP), which has been extensively studied in the field of combinatorial optimization. The goal of the TSP is to find the minimum length of a tour to all customers, given the distances between all pairs of customers whereas the objective of the PTSP is to minimize the expected lengt...
