We calculate the decay width for Λb → Λceν̄ in the frame work of a nonrelativistic quark (NRQ) model of heavy baryons where the light quarks play the role of spectators. Our calculation does not make an explicit use of the heavy quark symmetry. The branching ratio for the above process as calculated here agrees reasonably well with the experimental value.

Previous user studies have suggested the occurrence of symptoms of motion or simulator sickness among active spectators of handheld projector interaction. Using the well-established Simulator Sickness Questionnaire proposed by Kennedy et al. in 1993, we asked twenty-six participants if they had any indication of such symptoms after they watched a demonstration of handheld projector interaction ...

Further to the report from Queen Mary's NHS Trust on bungee running affecting children, we present three cases of injury in adults. Two cases of injury presented to Noble's (Isle of Man) Hospital and one to Whiston Hospital, Merseyside. In all three cases, the competitors were trying to stretch the 'bungee' to grasp a pint of beer as a prize, much enthusiasm being shown by spectators. All injur...

We present a listening grid for moral counseling, in which we pay particular attention, alongside the what, to how clients talk about themselves: as if they were spectators; aware what this talking does to them; how they perceive what is good from the past; and what they will strive for in the future. By this moral talk, clients discover a picture of the conviction that will enable them to make...

The author provides a viewpoint on the dialogue between computing and art by describing a framework for classification of Interactive Digital Artworks: information technology systems in which spectators are involved in the production of the artistic output. The author bases his approach on the input-processoutput view of information systems and relates it to the “Computing as a Science” viewpoi...

The confidence level of citizens, as far as the ability of the organizers to provide security is concerned, is a factor directly impacting their attendance in athletic events. This paper, proposes a system called BioAthletics that implements strong access control, enhancing the safety feeling of event spectators. BioAthletics integrates intelligent biometric access control systems and smart car...

In current aspect-oriented languages, separate compilation and modular reasoning are not possible. This detracts from comprehensibility and impedes maintenance efforts. We describe language features that would allow aspect-oriented languages to provide separate compilation and modular reasoning. We demonstrate that existing programs written in AspectJ can be easily rewritten using these features.
