We have carried out a NLO analysis of the world data on polarized DIS in the MS/bare scheme. We have studied two models of the parametrizations of the input parton densities, the first due to Brodsky, Burkhardt and Schmidt (BBS) which gives…
The presence of a large applied magnetic field removes the degeneracy of the vacuum energy states for spin-up and spin-down neutrons. For polarized neutron reflectometry, this must be included in the reference potential energy of the…
Boolean matrix has been used to represent digital information in many fields, including bank transaction, crime records, natural language processing, protein-protein interaction, etc. Boolean matrix factorization (BMF) aims to find an…
Coherent imaging systems, such as medical ultrasound and synthetic aperture radar (SAR), are subject to corruption from speckle due to sub-resolution scatterers. Since speckle is multiplicative in nature, the constituent image regions…
Polarization is well known for its ability to decompose diffuse and specular reflections. However, the existing decomposition methods only focus on direct reflection and overlook multiple reflections, especially specular inter-reflection.…

A density function for an algebraic invariant is a measurable function on $\mathbb{R}$ which measures the invariant on an $\mathbb{R}$-scale. This function carries a lot more information related to the invariant without seeking extra data.…
