Shopping malls are one of the glories of metropolises with their attractive shops and a wide variety people who are walking in order to purchase goods. Location of a shopping mall is one of the critical criteria, because it can influence the success of the project. In addition, selecting an appropriate location to establish a new shopping mall is a sophisticated, time consuming and risky decisi...

With the ever-deepening economic reform and international trend of ICT application in education, the Chinese government is strengthening its basic education curriculum reform and actively facilitating the application of ICT in education. Given the achievement gap of ICT infrastructure and its application in middle and primary schools between urban and rural areas, a divide exists between the ne...

The 3 P 0 decay model is briefly reviewed. Possible improvements, partly motivated by the examination of a microscopic description of a quark–anti-quark pair creation , are considered. They can provide support for the one-body character of the model which, otherwise, is difficult to justify. To some extent, they point to a boost effect that most descriptions of processes involving a pair creati...

Non-trivial patterns of quark and lepton masses and mixings can arise without there being any underlying flavor symmetry that distinguishes among the three families. Two realistic examples are given.

Molecular imaging enables the visualization and quantitative analysis of the alterations of biological procedures at molecular and/or cellular level, which is of great significance for early detection of cancer. In recent years, deep leaning has been widely used in medical imaging analysis, as it overcomes the limitations of visual assessment and traditional machine learning techniques by extra...

We discuss the resummation of next-to-leading logarithms (NLL) in heavy quark production near threshold. Results are presented for top quark production at the Fermilab Tevatron.
