There are many reasons for studying WW/WZ → lνqq̄ at the Tevatron. From the electroweak prospective, diboson production provides a probe of self-interactions of vector bosons. Deviations from the Standard Model (SM) of these trilinear gauge boson coupling would affect the cross sections and event kinematics of diboson production1. The cross sections for diboson production at the Tevatron had pre...

The present paper introduces the new interconnection network of the BOPS ManArray family of available core products. To form a ManArray network, the processing elements are completely connected within clusters and communicate with members of only two other clusters thereby reducing signal fan-out and wiring density. With this simple network, single-step communications between a hypercube and it...

SirWe would like to compliment Drs Bosio et al for the first reported prospective screening study for drug abuse in an Irish obstetric population. We would disagree, however, with the deduction that "drug abuse is not a serious problem among Dublin's pregnant population." 43 cases of neonatal drug withdrawal were identified at our hospital between July 1996 and June 1997 and these babies had si...

The ESAS will provide an opportunity to compare and contrast treatment provision with colleagues who achieve similar levels of quality outcome and there may be differences, for example, in treatment duration or levels of decalcification. All this can be achieved using the ESAS database and simple analyses. Achieving recognition in providing high quality care on your routine cases can compliment...

Mathematical models and experiments have shown the importance of CD8 responses in control of HIV infection. In this paper we review the theoretical and empirical evidence and how the two compliment each other as they shed more light on the progression of HIV infection. This paper also highlights the controversies pertaining the subject. We present some models that investigate the role of a CTL ...

A recent review on facial mimicry concludes that emotional mimicry is less ubiquitous than has been suggested, and only occurs in interactions that are potentially affiliative (see Hess and Fischer, in revision). We hypothesize that individuals do not mimic facial expressions that can be perceived as offensive, such as disgust, and mimic positive emotion displays, but only when the context is a...

OBJECTIVE To implement and assess the effectiveness of the Strathclyde Computerized Randomized Interactive Prescription Tutor (SCRIPT) in teaching a competency-based undergraduate pharmacy course. DESIGN Data on students' access to SCRIPT, collected by quantitative electronic data capture, were analyzed to determine student usage patterns and correlations between usage and grades in class ass...

This research investigates how observers react when they see someone else being given a compliment that is flattering but that appears sincere. Prior work suggests that to the extent the compliment is perceived to be genuine, observers will not judge the source negatively. Merging insights from social comparison research and dual attitudes theory, this article presents a novel conceptualization...

network expansion studies normally offer new power lines, new substations or expansion of existing substations. they are generally proposed based on technical requirements, but financial restrictions are not considered. because of financial restrictions, ranking of network expansion plans is required. in this paper an algorithm for such ranking, based on technical and financial view points and ...
