Empirical Analysis of Zipf's Law, Power Law, and Lognormal Distributions in Medical Discharge Reports [PDF]
Bayesian modelling and statistical text analysis rely on informed probability priors to encourage good solutions. This paper empirically analyses whether text in medical discharge reports follow Zipf's law, a commonly assumed statistical property of language where word frequency follows a discrete power law distribution.

General exact law of compressible isentropic magnetohydrodynamic flows: theory and spacecraft observations in the solar wind [PDF]
Various forms of exact laws governing magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence have been derived either in the incompressibility limit, or for isothermal compressible flows. Here we propose a more general method that allows us to obtain such laws for any turbulent isentropic flow (i.e., constant entropy).

Exploration of legal implications of air and space travel for international and domestic travel and the Environment [PDF]
The rapid growth of air and space travel in recent years has resulted in an increased demand for legal regulation in the aviation and aerospace fields. This paper provides an overview of air and space law, including the topics of aircraft accident investigations, air traffic control, international borders and law, and the regulation of space activities.

Laws of the single logarithm for delayed sums of random fields [PDF]
We extend a law of the single logarithm for delayed sums by Lai to delayed sums of random fields. A law for subsequences, which also includes the one-dimensional case, is obtained in passing.

Democracy and International Law [PDF]
Traditionally, international law has barely paid attention to the democratic legitimacy of its most important subjects – states –, having been concerned only with relations between states and not within them. The neutral position of international law vis-a-vis a state's internal form of government changed after the collapse of communism.

The Arcsine law as the limit of the internal DLA cluster generated by Sinai's walk [PDF]
We identify the limit of the internal DLA cluster generated by Sinai's walk as the law of a functional of a Brownian motion which turns out to be a new interpretation of the Arcsine law.

Quantum spins mixing in spinor Bose-Einstein condensates [PDF]
We examine the internal structure of the ground states of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate in which atoms have three internal hyperfine spins. We determine a set of collective spin states which minimize the interaction energy between condensate atoms. We also examine the internal dynamics of an initially spin polarized condensate.

Internal Lagrangians of PDEs as variational principles [PDF]
A description of how the principle of stationary action reproduces itself in terms of the intrinsic geometry of variational equations is proposed. A notion of stationary points of an internal Lagrangian is introduced. A connection between symmetries, conservation laws and internal Lagrangians is established.

International Customs Law as a Branch of International Law
Over the last decades the role of customs regulation, namely its unification for the sake of simplifying mutual trade between the states, has considerably increased.
