Compton Scattering and Photo-absorption Sum Rules on Nuclei
, 2011 We revisit the photo-absorption sum rule for real Compton scattering from the proton and from nuclear targets. In analogy with the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn sum rule appropriate at low energies, we propose a new "constituent quark model" sum rule that relates ...

From Expansion to Erosion: The Global Trajectory of Judicial Independence, 1960–2018
Sociological Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Judicial independence expanded globally throughout the twentieth century, but this trajectory has recently come under pressure.

Subsquares in Random Latin Squares and Rectangles
Journal of Combinatorial Designs, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 184-197, April 2026.ABSTRACT A k × n partial Latin rectangle is C ‐ sparse if the number of nonempty entries in each row and column is at most C and each symbol is used at most C times. We prove that the probability a uniformly random k × n Latin rectangle, where k < ( 1 ∕ 2 − α ) n, contains a β n‐sparse partial Latin rectangle with ℓ nonempty entries is 1 ± ε n ℓ for ...
