The measurement of the J=1–0 line of CO with the IRAM interferometer is reported. The CO line parameters are in good agreement with the result given by Scoville et al. (1993). Thus, CO emission from 3C 48, a radio loud QSO, is definitely detected. The CO emission region is marginally resolved. Source parameters based on the CO line data are discussed.

We study the problem of generating a test sequence that achieves maximal coverage for a reactive system under test. We formulate the problem as a repeated game between the tester and the system, where the system state space is partitioned according to some coverage criterion and the objective of the tester is to maximize the set of partitions (or coverage goals) visited during the game. We show...

A phylogeny is a tree capturing evolution and ancestral relationships of a set of taxa (e.g., species). Reconstructing phylogenies from molecular data plays an important role in many areas of contemporary biological research. A phylogeny is perfect if (in rough terms) it correctly captures all input data. Determining if a perfect phylogeny exists was shown to be intractable in 1992 by Mike Stee...

We completely classify the computational complexity of the basic achievement and maintenance agent design problems in bounded environments when these problems are parameterized by the number of environment states and the number of agent actions. The different problems are P-complete, NP-complete, co-NP-complete or PSPACE-complete (when they are not trivial). We also consider alternative achieve...
