Chiral Perturbation Theory Confronted with Experiment

The general framework and the present status of the low energy theory of the standard model are briefly reviewed. Recent applications to a few topics of interest for the determinations of |Vud| and of |Vus| are discussed. Talk given at the DAΦNE 2004 workshop, Frascati, June 7 11, 2004 Unité Mixte de Recherche (UMR 6207) du CNRS, et des universités AixMarseille I, Aix-Marseille II et du Sud Tou...

Dyslexic Children Are Confronted with Unstable Binocular Fixation while Reading

Reading requires three-dimensional motor control: saccades bring the eyes from left to right, fixating word after word; and oblique saccades bring the eyes to the next line of the text. The angle of vergence of the two optic axes should be adjusted to the depth of the book or screen and--most importantly--should be maintained in a sustained manner during saccades and fixations. Maintenance of v...

Finite Unified Theories confronted with low-energy phenomenology

Finite Unified Theories (FUTs) are N=1 supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories that can be made all-loop finite. The requirement of all-loop finiteness leads to a severe reduction of the free parameters of the theory and, in turn, to a large number of predictions. Here SU(5) FUTs are investigated in the context of low-energy phenomenology observables. We present a detailed scanning of these FUTs,...

Different FDT's Confronted with Different ODP-Viewpoints of the Trader

The Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing (ODP RM) is intended to create an international standard for the design and realization of open distributed systems by both ISO and CCITT. The use of formal methods in the design process of ODP systems is explicitly required. In this article the use of the Formal Description Techniques (FDT's) Z, LOTOS and SDL'92 is investigated and evaluated. ...
