We compare different procedures for combining fixed-order tree-level matrix element generators with parton showers. We use the case of W-production at the Tevatron and the LHC to compare different implementations of the so-called CKKW scheme and one based on the so-called MLM scheme using different matrix element generators and different parton cascades. We find that although similar results are o

A major component of aircraft noise is the jet noise created by the high velocity hot stream exhausting from a jet engine, interacting with itself and with the surrounding cold air. In the present paper the flow and acoustic fields that are generated by two coaxial jets are considered. Numerically, the problem is divided into a flow related part (Navier-Stokes system of equation) and an acoustic p

Finger tapping to isochronous pacing stimuli is a well established experimental paradigm first described in the late 19th century. Two variables of common interest in rhythmic tapping tasks are timing variability and constant error. However, a difficulty when estimating these variables is that at interstimulus intervals longer than 2 seconds participants regularly overshoot the target interval and

Husserlian phenomenological theory is offered as an integrated and integrating for an understanding of management decision making and related issues in work and organizational sciences. The aspects of meaning, meaning constitution, subjective processes, and perspectives, mutual understanding of each other´s perspective, individuals as horizons of possible worlds are central to this conception, mak

Det här kapitlet redovisar resultat från den enkätstudie om tillit i det digitala samhället som genomfördes i DigiTrustprojektet i januari, 2014. Den internetbaserade enkätstudien innehöll 1118 svenska respondenter med en jämn fördelning avseende kön och ålder. Enkäten omfattade ca 35 frågor som i huvudsak kunde sorteras under någon av följande fem kategorier: 1) Övervakning, 2) Bank 3) Hälsa, 4)

This paper presents a sensitivity analysis of unsteady-state SOFC-GT-HS operation based on two different characteristic maps of centrifugal compressor taken from open literature and scaled by the law of similitude to match the design point of the Hybrid System. The system layout under investigation is a pressurised type comprising a low and high temperature recuperator. Computations are based on a

With the recent expansions of the European Union, there are now 12 new member states that are implementing European policy. One of these policies, with implications for energy production and security, is the Common Agricultural Policy. This article will focus on the impact the Common Agricultural Policy can have on farmers in Poland who have been encouraged by calls to cultivate energy crops. In a

PURPOSE: The early loss of a parent is a tragedy and a serious life event. This study investigated grief resolution and morbidity in cancer-bereaved teenagers 6 to 9 years after the loss of a parent to cancer. METHODS: In a nationwide population-based study of 622 of 851 (73 %) youths who as teenagers 6 to 9 years earlier had lost a parent to cancer, we explored the magnitude of unresolved grief a

This paper is based on outcomes from SID (http://sid.desiign.org), a three-year project where twenty-four children with profound intellectual disabilities visited three MSE centres. SID's aim was to develop and demonstrate the potentials of interactive design in and for MSE practices together with the children and the pedagogical staff. In the project, we developed artefacts that were designed to

MATLAB and its companion product Simulink are commonly used tools insystems modelling and other scientific disciplines. A cross-disciplinaryintegrated MATLAB model is used to study the overall performance of theproposed 50m optical and infrared telescope, Euro50. However thecomputational requirements of this kind of end-to-end simulation of thetelescope's behaviour, exceeds the capability of an in

In "Intentional action and side-effects in ordinary language” (2003), Joshua Knobe reported an asymmetry in test subjects’ responses to a question about intentionality: subjects are more likely to judge that a side effect of an agent’s intended action is intentional if they think the side effect is morally bad than if they think it is morally good. This result has been taken to suggest that the co
