In 1993 LEP performed a scan at three energy points around the Z 0 mass, with the primary aim of substantially improving the errors on M Z and ? z. The results of the preliminary lineshape analyses of the 4 LEP experiments are presented here, together with the combined LEP averages. The Z 0 mass and width are determined as M Z = 91:1899 0:0017 exp 0:004 lep Gev and ? z = 2:4971 0:0027 exp 0:002...

Pheromones, Sex Attractant, (Z)-9-dodecenyl Acetate, Olfactory Receptors, Choristoneura muri­ nana, Tortricidae Traps baited with 100 ^g (Z)-9-dodecenyl acetate and 10|ig (Z)-ll-tetradecenyl acetate are highly effective in attracting C. murinana males at varying population densities. The attractive mixture was established by electrophysiological and Field screening studies combined with chemica...

The high-z progenitors of local massive early-type galaxies should be characterized by a strong level of clustering, larger than that measured for z = 3 Lyman Break Galaxies and comparable to that of z ∼ 1 EROs. First possible evidences for such strongly clustered objects at z > ∼ 2 were found by the FIRES and K20 surveys, that have identified new classes of faint high-z K-selected galaxies. So...

In object-oriented systems, object associations generally result in a complex structure whose precise description is a crucial part of the sys-tem's formal speciication. A particularly common object association arises when one object exclusively controls (owns) another. As exclusive object control is an important aspect of safety and security critical systems, speciic notation to capture direct...

This paper specifies the formal semantics of XSLT. Using Object-Z specification language to describe each constructs of the language as objects, the stylesheet itself was specified by underlying objects. This work will contribute to the implementation of XSLT.

We reassess the estimate of the cross-correlation of the spatial distribution of the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) radio sources with that of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). This re-analysis is motivated by the fact that most previous studies adopted a redshift distribution of NVSS sources inconsistent with recent data. We find t...

Let $\mathcal{S}^{\ast}_{L}(\lambda)$ be the class of functions $f$, analytic in unit disc $\Delta=\{z:|z|<1\}$, with normalization $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$, which satisfy condition\begin{equation*}\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}\prec \left(1+z\right)^{\lambda},\end{equation*}where $\prec$ is subordination relation. The a subfamily known strongly starlike order $\lambda$. In this paper,the relations between and...

In the present work, we aimed to focus on the identification and characterization of the heavy metal-tolerant plant species growing spontaneously at the tailings site of the Sarcheshmeh copper mine, south of Iran. Our aim was to find the plant species that were potentially useful for phytoextraction purposes. The concentrations of As, Cu, Mo, Ni, Zn, and Re were analyzed in soil as well as in t...

  Background: Consumption of mycotoxic foods is associated with several cases of human poisoning, or mycotoxicosis, sometimes resulting in death.   Objective: Phytopreventive inhibition of Aspergillus parasiticus growth and its aflatoxin production by the essential oils extracted from Thymus kotschyanus Boiss & Hohen and Zataria multiflora Boiss. is reported in this study.   Methods: Minimal in...

Understanding of the nature of dark energy, which appears to drive the expansion of the universe, is one of the central problems of physical cosmology today. In an earlier paper [Daly & Djorgovski (2003)] we proposed a novel method to determine the expansion rate E(z) and the deceleration parameter q(z) in a largely model-independent way, directly from the data on coordinate distances y(z). Her...
