Comparative study of Radio Mobile and ICS Telecom propagation prediction models for DVB-T
In this paper, a comparative study between the results of a measurement campaign conducted in northern Greece and simulations performed with Radio Mobile and ICS Telecom radio planning tools is performed. The DVB-T coverage of a transmitting station located near the city of Thessaloniki is
estimated using three empirical propagation models (NTIA-ITS Longley Rice, ITU-R P.1546 and Okumura-Hata-Davidson) and one deterministic model (ITU-R 525/526). The best results in terms of minimum average error and standard deviation are obtained using the deterministic model and the NTIA-ITS
Longley Rice empirical model. In order to improve the results, the tuning options available in the ICS Telecom software are used on the Okumura-Hata-Davidson model, leading to a significant
increase in accuracy

Basis independent parametrisations of R parity violation in the soft SUSY breaking sector
The magnitude of R-parity violating coupling constants depends on which
direction in the space of weak doublets with hypercharge = -2 corresponds to
the Higgs. To address this ``basis dependence'', one can construct combinations
of coupling constants that are invariant under these basis transformations, and
which parametrise how much R parity violation is present in the Lagrangian
(analogous to Jarlskog invariants for CP violation). This has previously been
done for the Higgs vev and the R parity violating couplings constants in the
superpotential. In this letter, I build invariants that include soft SUSY
breaking interactions, and briefly discuss their relation to invariants
involving the Higgs vev. This completes the construction of invariants based on
the MSSM with baryon parity.Comment: 8 pages, accepted for publication in PL
Basis Independent Measures of R-parity Violation
We construct basis-independent expressions that measure the magnitude of
-parity breaking due to possible superpotential terms in the Minimal
Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, in the absence of soft
supersymmetry-breaking terms and spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking. We also
discuss briefly their application to a consistent treatment of cosmological
constraints on -parity violation.Comment: 13 pages, Late
Anomalousness in action
Book synopsis: The latest volume of the critically acclaimed Library of Living Philosophers series is devoted to the work of analytic philosopher Donald Davidson. Following the standard LLP format, Davidson discusses his life and philosophical development in an intellectual autobiography. This is followed by 31 critical essays by distinguished scholars; Davidson replies to each of these essays.
Although Donald Davidson is considered an analytic philosopher, his thought straddles many areas of philosophy. One of his greatest contributions is the development of a philosophical system based on his theory of mind and language, but he has also worked on theory of action, philosophy of language, decision theory, psychology, epistemology, ethics, the concept of truth, and the concept of objectivity. Davidson is a former Carus Lecturer who has held more than twenty distinguished lectureships and research fellowships at universities in this country and abroad, including Queens College, Stanford, Princeton, and the University of Peru. He is currently professor emeritus at UC-Berkeley
