In order to gain a full understanding of a biological process, we must be able to augment the known molecular interactions with discovered knowledge. We believe that a visualization system works as a means for accomplishing this task, as it provides an intuitive base for necessary information, among others. However, reported implementations have further problems: (1) The size of the information...

In this paper we study the implications of the recent high precision measurement of (g−2)μ by BNL [1] on new heavy physics beyond the SM. The effect of two d=6 operators on the anomalous magnetic momment of the muon is considered and the new physics contribution to aμ reported by BNL has been used to put bounds on the scale associated with these operators.

We have performed a search for the angular-momentum forbidden decay K+→π+γ with the E787 detector at BNL. No events were observed in the π+ kinematic region around 227 MeV/c. An upper limit on the branching ratio for the decay is set to be 3.6× 10−7 at 90% confidence level. Typeset using REVTEX

The experimental measurement of K→πνν is reviewed. New results from experiment E787 at BNL are presented: with data from 1995–97 the branching ratio has been measured to be B(K→πνν ) = (1.5 −1.2) × 10 . The future prospects for additional data in this mode are examined.

We outline a strategy for next-generation neutrino physics experiments based on beams from accelerators in North America. This strategy is based on the mounting evidence in favor of the large mixing angle solution to solar neutrino problem [1], which implies that in addition to measurement of sin 2θ13 and of the sign of ∆m 2 23, measurement of CP violation in the neutrino sector is a realizable...

The rare kaon decay program at BNL is summarized. A brief review of recent results is provided along with a discussion of prospects for the future of this program. The primary focus is the two golden modes: K + → π + νν and K • L → π • νν. The first step in an ambitious program to precisely measure both branching ratios has been successfully completed with the observation of two K + → π + νν ev...

A three terminal relay system with binary erasure channel (BEC) was considered, in which a source forwarded information to a destination with a relay’s ”assistance”. The nested LDGM (Low-density generator-matrix) -LDPC (lowdensity parity-check) was designed to realize Compress-andforward (CF) at the relay. LDGM coding compressed the received signals losslessly and LDPC realized the binning for ...

Current architectural trends in instruction-level parallelism (ILP) have significantly increased the computational power of microprocessors. As a result, the demands on the memory system have increased dramatically. Not only do compilers need to be concerned with finding ILP to utilize machine resources effectively, but they also need to be concerned with ensuring that the resulting code has a ...

Nested transactions[6, 5] provide fine grain atomicity, efficient recovery control, and structural modularity. In distributed environments, they provide a natural and semantically clean way of modelin g computations . However, the characteristics of nested transactions are sufficiently different from those o f traditional single-level transactions that concurrency control for nested transaction...

Automatically detecting discourse segments is an important preliminary step towards full discourse parsing. Previous research on discourse segmentation have relied on the assumption that elementary discourse units (EDUs) in a document always form a linear sequence (i.e., they can never be nested). Unfortunately, this assumption turns out to be too strong, for some theories of discourse like SDR...
