Prophets are personalities that left traces in human history. Their lives regarded as important every aspect and studied with interest. This interest has gained direction according to the needs of age which takes place. Today, issues such family children widely researched discussed. In this respect, acquis life is valuable. For, work actions people who have social influence both for believers p...

Requiring that the baryon number of the universe be generated by anomalous elec-troweak interactions places strong constraints on the minimal supersymmetric standard model. In particular, the electric dipole moment of the neutron must be greater than 10 −27 e-cm. Improvement of the current experimental bound on the neutron's electric dipole moment by one order of magnitude would constrain the l...

Scarcely any invention has altered biological science so radically in such a short period as the polyme-rase chain reaction, or PCR. With this technique, minute amounts of DNA can be replicated very rapidly and thereby amplified to such an extent that the DNA becomes easy to detect, study and use for any given purpose. The potential of this technique in medicine has long been known, and ever mo...

Papers in this section are based on submissions to the MRS Symposium Proceedings that were selected by Symposium Organizers as the outstanding paper. Upon selection, authors are invited to submit their research results to Journal of Materials Research. These papers are subject to the same peer review and editorial standards as all other JMR papers. This is another way by which the Materials Res...

Let X1,X2, . . . ,Xn be i.i.d. random variables with a known continuous distribution function. Robbins’ problem is to find a sequential stopping rule without recall which minimizes the expected rank of the selected observation. An upper bound (obtained by memoryless threshold rules) and a procedure to obtain lower bounds of the value are known, but the essence of the problem is still unsolved. ...
