Status of Chiral-Scale Perturbation Theory
Chiral-scale perturbation theory PT has been proposed as an
alternative to chiral perturbation theory which
explains the rule for kaon decays. It is based on a low-energy
expansion about an infrared fixed point in three-flavor QCD. In
PT, quark condensation induces nine Nambu-Goldstone bosons: and a QCD dilaton
which we identify with the resonance. Partial conservation
of the dilatation and chiral currents constrains low-energy constants which
enter the effective Lagrangian of PT. These constraints allow us
to obtain new phenomenological bounds on the dilaton decay constant via the
coupling of to pions, whose value is known precisely from
dispersive analyses of scattering. Improved predictions for and the coupling are also noted. To test
PT for kaon decays, we revive a 1985 proposal for lattice
methods to be applied to on-shell.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure. Presented at the 8th International Workshop on

Negotiated Trade Restrictions with Private Political Pressure
In this paper we consider a home government with political pressure to restrict trade, at the expense of foreigners. The foreign country is compensated with an income transfer, which can be thought of as a portion of the tariff revenues or quota rents. In this setting the two countries should negotiate over the level of tariff and transfer of rents, depending on the level of political pressure at home. However, if this pressure cannot be directly observed abroad, then the home country may have an incentive to claim arbitrarily high political need and seek corresponding high trade barriers . We resolve this problem by determining incentive compatible trade policies, in which the home government has no incentive to overstate (or understate) the political pressure for protection.

CF6 jet engine performance deterioration results
The use of the performance baseline from the flight planning manual as a reference to measure changes in cruise fuel flow rates was discussed. For the CF6-6D engine, the introduction of design changes for performance and durability reasons was seen to introduce an average increment relative to this baseline of 3.2% WFM increase at Nl, 2.5% Fn increase at Nl, 0.8% specific fuel consumption (SFC) increase at Fn, and 7 C EGT increase at Nl, while maintaining sufficient SFC margin of the delivered airplane. The effect of revenue service deterioration and performance restoration relative to the reference was shown to be an adder on top of these design effects. A schematic of typical CF6-6D performance through revenue service and airline maintenance is presented in terms of percent cruise SFC relative to an airline datum point (average level upon entering revenue service). The typical changes in SFC margin are shown for airline revenue service through for installations and refurbishments
