Stochastic particle acceleration in the lobes of giant radio galaxies Yazar: O'Sullivan, S, Reville, B, Taylor, A

“…We conclude that for pure stochastic acceleration via Alfvén waves to be plausible as the generator of UHECR in Cen A, the baryon number density would need to be several orders of magnitude below currently held upper limits. © 2009 RAS.…”

A Church-State conflict. Jerzy Kawalerowicz's Mother Joan of the Angels and cinematic projections of Catholicism in Władysław Gomułka's Poland Yazar: Kunicki, M

“…Referencing archival sources, movie reviews, secondary sources, and a number of fi lms, this article explores the political controversy that accompanied the domestic release of Jerzy Kawalerowicz’s seminal work Mother Joan of the Angels, which occurred at the time of a major confl ict between the Catholic Church and the party regime in Poland during the 1960s. …”

A taxonomy of tort law defences Yazar: Goudkamp, JLM

“…Tort law provides for a large number of defences to liability. While the circumstances in which some of these defences apply have been explored in detail, scant attention has been given to the theoretical foundations of defences. …”

Atomic structure of the Epstein-Barr virus portal Yazar: Machón, C, Fàbrega-Ferrer, M, Zhou, D, Cuervo, A, Carrascosa, J, Stuart, D, Coll, M

“…Epstein-Barr virus infects B-cells and epithelial cells, causing infectious mononucleosis, as well as a number of cancers. Epstein-Barr infection cannot be cured since neither vaccine nor antiviral drug treatments are available. …”

Optimizing positional scoring rules for rank aggregation Yazar: Caragiannis, I, Chatzigeorgiou, X, Krimpas, G, Voudouris, A

“…Motivated by such systems, we consider a setting where each worker is asked to rank a fixed (small) number of alternatives and, then, a positional scoring rule is used to compute the aggregate ranking. …”

Efficient bounds and estimates for canonical angles in randomized subspace approximations Yazar: Dong, Y, Martinsson, P-G, Nakatsukasa, Y

“…Under moderate oversampling in the randomized SVD, our prior probabilistic bounds are asymptotically tight and can be computed efficiently, while bringing a clear insight into the balance between oversampling and power iterations given a fixed budget on the number of matrix-vector multiplications. The numerical experiments demonstrate the empirical effectiveness of these canonical angle bounds and estimates on different matrices under various algorithmic choices for the randomized SVD.…”
