    Some examples of Mahler measures as multiple polylogarithms

    Get PDF
    The Mahler measures of certain polynomials of up to five variables are given in terms of multiple polylogarithms. Each formula is homogeneous and its weight coincides with the number of variables of the corresponding polynomial.Comment: 21 pages, 1 figur

    Mahler measure of some n-variable polynomial families

    Get PDF
    The Mahler measures of some n-variable polynomial families are given in terms of special values of the Riemann zeta function and a Dirichlet L-series, generalizing the results of \cite{L}. The technique introduced in this work also motivates certain identities among Bernoulli numbers and symmetric functions

    Parallel tempering simulates at many quark masses simultaneously, by changing the mass during the simulation while remaining in equilibrium. The algorithm is faster than pure HMC if more than one mass is needed, and works better the smaller the smallest mass is.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, Combined proceedings for Lattice 97, Edinburgh and the International Workshop 'Lattice QCD on Parallel Computers', University of Tsukuba, Japa

    Remarks on Form Factor Bounds

    Full text link
    Improved model independent upper bounds on the weak transition form factors are derived using inclusive sum rules. Comparison of the new bounds with the old ones is made for the form factors h_{A_1} and h_V in B -> D* decays.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, title changed and typos corrected for journal publicatio

    Coping and Emotional Intelligence in Women with a History of Eating Disordered Behavior

    Get PDF
    Eating disorders pose a serious problem in our society. Studies have found that there is a negative correlation between eating disorders and emotional coping mechanisms, a factor of emotional intelligence (EI). This study was designed to discover if women who have a history of eating disorders resemble women who report no current or past history of eating disorders and women with current eating problems. Participants included 157 college females. It was found that women who reported a history of eating problems resembled the control group on most measures
