By recurring to Geometric Probability methods it is shown that the coupling constants, [[alpha].sub.EM], [[alpha].sub.W], [[alpha].sub.C], associated with the electromagnetic, weak and strong (color) force are given by the ratios of measures of the sphere [S.sup.2] and the Shilov boundaries [Q.sub.3] = [S.sup.2] x [RP.sup.1], squashed [S.sup.5], respectively, with respect to the Wyler measure [[OMEGA].sub.Wyler][[Q.sub.4]] of the Shilov boundary [Q.sub.4] = [S.sup.3] x [RP.sup.1] o...

Epidemiologic determinants for modeling pneumonic plague outbreaks.(Research)
Emerging Infectious Diseases ; Pneumonic plague poses a potentially increasing risk to humans in plague nonendemic regions either as a consequence of an aerosolized release or through importation of the disease. Pneumonic plague is person-to-person transmissible. We provide a quantitative assessment of transmissibility based on
Analysis of the chord length distribution along an edge: the wedge case and the quadratic rod case.
Journal of Mathematics and Statistics ; Abstract: The analytic expression is given for the chord length distribution density f(l, b) along the edge of an infinitely long rectangular wedge and for a quadratic rod, both of constant breadth b. The general result is: A constant behaviour for 0 < l < b and a finite jump of size 2/b at l

The American Statistician ; Ghahramani bills his book as one for a course in basic probability to be taken by mathematics, physics, engineering, statistics, actuarial science, operations research, and computer science majors (p. xi). (The book assumes a year's calculus as background.) This claim suggests to us a multiplicity
