this paper is devoted to the study of determining optimal process mean in system production with the two markets for the sale of goods. in this paper, we developed an absorbing markov chain model in production systems where all items are inspected %100 for conformance with their specification limits. when the value of the quality characteristic of an item falls below a lower limit, the item is ...

It has long been assumed that Rayleigh lidar can be used to measure atmospheric temperature profiles up to about 90 or 100 km and that above this region the technique becomes invalid due to changes in atmospheric composition which affect basic assumptions on which Rayleigh lidar is based. Modern powerful Rayleigh lidars are able to measure backscatter from well above 100 km requiring a closer e...

BACKGROUND Solutions containing high macromolecule concentrations are predicted to affect a number of protein properties compared to those properties in dilute solution. In cells, these macromolecular crowders have a large range of sizes and can occupy 30% or more of the available volume. We chose to study the stability and ps-ns internal dynamics of a globular protein whose radius is ~2 nm whe...

In this talk the question of what is the upper bound on the lightest supersymmetric Higgs mass, mh is addressed. This question is relevant since experimental lower bounds on mh might implement, in the near future, exclusion of supersymmetry. By imposing (perturbative) unification of the gauge couplings at some high scale > ∼ 10 GeV, we have found that for a top-quark mass Mt = 175 GeV, and depe...

By fitting the R values between 3.7 and 5.0 GeV measured by the BES collaboration, the upper limit of the electron width of the newly discovered resonance Y (4260) is determined to be 240 eV at 90% C.L., together with the BABAR measurement on Γee · B(Y (4260) → π + π − J/ψ), this implies a large decay width of Y (4260) → π + π − J/ψ final states.
