    This article discusses some properties of the first order regression method for imputation of missing values on an explanatory variable in linear regression model and presents an estimation strategy based on hypothesis testing

    Mineralogical Mapping in the Cuprite Mining District, Nevada

    Get PDF
    The airborne imaging spectrometer (AIS) has provided for the first time, the possibility to map mineralogical constituents in the Earth's surface and thus has enormously increased the value of remote-sensing data as a tool in the solution of geologic problems. The question addressed with AIS at Cuprite was how well could the mineral components at the surface of a hydrothermal alteration zone be detected, identified and mapped? The question was answered positively and is discussed. A relatively rare mineral, buddingtonie, that could not have been detected by conventional means, was discovered and mapped by the use of AIS

    Numerical Study of the Lowest Energy Configurations for Global String-Antistring Pairs

    We investigate the lowest energy configurations for string - antistring pairs at fixed separations by numerically minimizing the energy. We show that for separations smaller than a critical value, a region of false vacuum develops in the middle due to large gradient energy density. Consequently, well defined string - antistring pairs do not exist for such separations. We present an example of vortex - antivortex production by vacuum bubbles where this effect seems to play a dynamical role in the annihilation of the pair. We also study the dependence of the energy of an string-antistring pair on their separation and find deviations from a simple logarithmic dependence for small separations.Comment: 14 pages, in LATEX, 7 figures (not included

    Shell model and deformed shell model spectroscopy of 62^{62}Ga

    In the present work we have reported comprehensive analysis of recently available experimental data [H.M. David et al., Phys. Lett. B {\bf 726}, 665 (2013)] for high-spin states up to 17+17^+ with T=0T=0 in the odd-odd N=ZN=Z nucleus 62^{62}Ga using shell model calculations within the full f5/2pg9/2f_{5/2}pg_{9/2} model space and deformed shell model based on Hartee-Fock intrinsic states in the same space. The calculations have been performed using jj44b effective interaction developed recently by B.A. Brown and A.F. Lisetskiy for this model space. The results obtained with the two models are similar and they are in reasonable agreement with experimental data. In addition to the T=0T=0 and T=1T=1 energy bands, band crossings and electromagnetic transition probabilities, we have also calculated the pairing energy in shell model and all these compare well with the available theoretical results.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure
