The DELPHI experiment at LEP is the first collider experiment with hybrid pixel detectors contributing to its track reconstruction. The pixel detector has been installed in 1996 with the final DELPHI Silicon Tracker, an assembly of microstrip, ministrip and pixel detectors optimized for the operation at LEP2. It was completed for the physics period in 1997. The pixel detector comprises 1.2 mill...

We introduce a new class of (not necessarily convex) bodies and show, among other things, that these bodies provide yet another link between convex geometric analysis and information theory. Namely, they give geometric interpretations of the relative entropy of the cone measures of a convex body and its polar and related quantities. Such interpretations were first given by Paouris and Werner fo...

Recently it was found that fluid smectic phases of bent core liquid crystals formed freestanding fibers of extremely high slenderness ratios. Studies of these fibers showed that their structure was composed of concentric cylindrical smectic layers. For this configuration to be stable there must be an energy term that desires bending of the smectic layers. We show that an energy term that deals ...

| The 3D Radon transform of an object is an important intermediate result in many analytically exact cone-beam reconstruction algorithms. In this paper, we present a new, highly eecient method for 3D Radon inversion, i.e. reconstruction of the image from the 3D Radon transform, called Direct Fourier Inversion (DFI). The method is based directly on the 3D Fourier Slice Theorem. From the 3D Radon...

in this paper, we prove the existence of fixed point for chatterjea type mappings under $c$-distance in cone metric spaces endowed with a graph. the main results extend, generalized and unified some fixed point theorems on $c$-distance in metric and cone metric spaces.

Introduction: In this study, Antibacterial and antioxidant activities of the essential oil and methanolic extract of the endemic plant, Zataria multiflora Boiss. have been studied. Method: The antioxidant potential of the samples was evaluated using two separate methods of inhibition of free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ammonium thiocyanate systems. Antibacterial activity wa...

This paper attempts to extend the notion of duality for convex cones, by basing it on a prescribed conic ordering and a fixed bilinear mapping. This is an extension of the standard definition of dual cones, in the sense that the nonnegativity of the inner-product is replaced by a pre-specified conic ordering, defined by a convex cone D, and the inner-product itself is replaced by a general mult...

Covalently-attached fluorophores may impart enhanced chemosensing capabilities to calixarene frameworks. Synthesis and characterization of six novel dansyl-appended calix[4]arenes, namely, H/Dan4, NO2/Dan4, H/(OH)2Dan2, H/(Ester)2(Dan)2, t-Bu/(OH)2Dan2, and t-Bu/(Ester)2Dan2, containing two or four dansyl moieties are reported. Among these, fluorescence intensity of NO2/Dan4 is observed to decr...

Recently, Cho et al. [Y. J. Cho, R. Saadati, S. H. Wang, Common xed point theorems on generalized distance in ordered cone metric spaces, Comput. Math. Appl. 61 (2011) 1254-1260] dened the concept of the c-distance in a cone metric space and proved some xed point theorems on c-distance. In this paper, we prove some new xed point and common xed point theorems by using the distance in ordered con...

For polytopes P1, P2 ⊂ R we consider the intersection P1 ∩ P2, the convex hull of the union CH(P1 ∪ P2), and the Minkowski sum P1 + P2. For Minkowski sum we prove that enumerating the facets of P1+P2 is NPhard if P1 and P2 are specified by facets, or if P1 is specified by vertices and P2 is a polyhedral cone specified by facets. For intersection we prove that computing the facets or the vertice...
