Asymptotic regimes for the occupancy scheme of multiplicative cascades
In the classical occupancy scheme, one considers a fixed discrete probability
measure and throws balls independently at
random in boxes labeled by , such that is the probability that
a given ball falls into the box . In this work, we are interested in
asymptotic regimes of this scheme in the situation induced by a refining
sequence of random probability measures which arise
from some multiplicative cascade. Our motivation comes from the study of the
asymptotic behavior of certain fragmentation chain
Effects of Extra Dimensions on Unitarity and Higgs Boson Mass
We study the unitarity constraint on the two body Higgs boson elastic
scattering in the presence of extra dimensions. The contributions from exchange
of spin-2 and spin-0 Kaluza-Klein states can have large effect on the partial
wave amplitude. Unitarity condition restrict the maximal allowed value for the
ratio of the center of mass energy to the gravity scale to be less than
one. Although the constraint on the standard Higgs boson mass for of order
one is considerably relaxed, for small the constraint is similar to that in
the Standard Model. The resulting bound on the Higgs boson mass is not
dramatically altered if perturbative calculations are required to be valid up
to the maximal allowed value for .Comment: References added, RevTex, 9 pages with two figure
Extra Dimensions and Higgs Pair Production at Photon Colliders
We show that new physics effects due to extra dimensions can dramatically
affect Higgs pair production at photon colliders. We find that the cross
section due to extra dimensions with the scale of new physics around 1.5
TeV, the cross section can be as large as 0.11 pb (1.5pb) for monochromatic
photon collision, , with the collider energy TeV for Higgs mass of 100 (350) GeV. The cross section can be 3 fb
(2.7 fb) for the same parameters for collisions using photon beams from
electron or positron back scattered by laser. These cross sections are much
larger than those predicted in the Standard Model. Higgs pair production at
photon colliders can provide useful tests for new physics due to extra
dimensions.Comment: Typos corrected and updated references, Rev-Tex, 11 pages with one

Higgs boson enhancement effects on squark-pair production at the LHC
We study the Higgs boson effects on third-generation squark-pair production
in proton-proton collision at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), including
\Stop \Stop^*, \Stop\Sbot^*, and \Sbot \Sbot^*. We found that substantial
enhancement can be obtained through s-channel exchanges of Higgs bosons at
large , at which the enhancement mainly comes from , , and initial states. We compute the complete set of electroweak
(EW) contributions to all production channels. This completes previous
computations in the literature. We found that the EW contributions can be
significant and can reach up to 25% in more general scenarios and at the
resonance of the heavy Higgs boson. The size of Higgs enhancement is comparable
or even higher than the PDF uncertainties and so must be included in any
reliable analysis. A full analytical computation of all the EW contributions is
presented.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figures, 1 tabl
Associated production of neutral toppion with a pair of heavy quarks in collisions
We have studied a neutral toppion production process in the topcolor-assisted technicolor(TC2) model. We
find that the cross section of is much
larger than that of . On the other hand,
the cross section can be obviously enhanced with the increasing of c.m.energy.
With GeV, the cross section of production can
reach the level of a few fb. The results show that is the most ideal channel to detect
neutral toppion due to the clean SM background. With such sufficient signals
and clean background, neutral toppion could be detected at TESLA with high
c.m.energy.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
Accuracy of breeding values of 'unrelated' individuals predicted by dense SNP genotyping
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Recent developments in SNP discovery and high throughput genotyping technology have made the use of high-density SNP markers to predict breeding values feasible. This involves estimation of the SNP effects in a training data set, and use of these estimates to evaluate the breeding values of other 'evaluation' individuals. Simulation studies have shown that these predictions of breeding values can be accurate, when training and evaluation individuals are (closely) related. However, many general applications of genomic selection require the prediction of breeding values of 'unrelated' individuals, i.e. individuals from the same population, but not particularly closely related to the training individuals.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Accuracy of selection was investigated by computer simulation of small populations. Using scaling arguments, the results were extended to different populations, training data sets and genome sizes, and different trait heritabilities.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Prediction of breeding values of unrelated individuals required a substantially higher marker density and number of training records than when prediction individuals were offspring of training individuals. However, when the number of records was 2*N<sub>e</sub>*L and the number of markers was 10*N<sub>e</sub>*L, the breeding values of unrelated individuals could be predicted with accuracies of 0.88 – 0.93, where N<sub>e </sub>is the effective population size and L the genome size in Morgan. Reducing this requirement to 1*N<sub>e</sub>*L individuals, reduced prediction accuracies to 0.73–0.83.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>For livestock populations, 1N<sub>e</sub>L requires about ~30,000 training records, but this may be reduced if training and evaluation animals are related. A prediction equation is presented, that predicts accuracy when training and evaluation individuals are related. For humans, 1N<sub>e</sub>L requires ~350,000 individuals, which means that human disease risk prediction is possible only for diseases that are determined by a limited number of genes. Otherwise, genotyping and phenotypic recording need to become very common in the future.</p

Study of five quark system with three kinds of quark-quark hyperfine interaction
The low-lying energy spectra of five quark systems (I=1/2, S=0)
and (I=0, S=-1) are investigated with three kinds of schematic
interactions: the chromomagnetic interaction, the flavor-spin dependent
interaction and the instanton-induced interaction. In all the three models, the
lowest five quark state ( or ) has an orbital angular
momentum L=0 and the spin-parity ; the mass of the lowest
state is heavier than the lowest state
