Sensitivity measurements performed on EVLA antenna #14 show that the cold-sky zenith system temperature is about 45K for the 18 – 26 GHz band, and 60 K for the low frequency end of the 40 – 50 GHz band, rising to 95 K at the high frequency end. Efficiency measurements based on the planet Venus show the antenna efficiency to be about 50% in the 18 – 26 GHz band, and about 28% for the 40 – 50 GHz...

Lignocellulosic biomass is a very promising feedstock for the production of biobased chemicals. The C6 sugars (for example d-glucose, d-fructose, and d-mannose) in lignocellulosic biomass are interesting precursors for a broad range of chemicals with high application potential. Apart from fermentation to bioethanol and reforming to CO/H2, [10] the direct conversion of these sugars to useful pla...

Releases of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDFs) from industrial or thermal processes to the aquatic environment are considered small compared emissions air today. However, have occasionally released PCDD/PCDFs into local environments. . PCDD/PCDF formation releases were re-examined based on investigations conducted before introduction water quality regulations in Ja...

We discuss the supersymmetric contribution to ε ′ /ε in various supersymmetric flavor models. We find that in alignment models the supersymmetric contribution could be significant while in heavy squark models it is expected to be small. The situation is particularly interesting in models that solve the flavor problems by either of the above mechanisms and the remaining CP problems by means of a...

In (5), GF is the Fermi coupling, the functions zi(μ) and yi(μ) are the Wilson coefficients and τ = −VtdV ∗ ts/VudV ∗ us. According to the standard parameterization of the CKM matrix, in order to determine ε/ε , we only need to consider the yi(μ) components, which control the CP -violating part of the lagrangian. The coefficients yi(μ), and zi(μ) contain all the dependence of short-distance phy...

We provide a complete characterization for the computational complexity of finding approximate equilibria in two-action graphical games. consider two most well-studied approximation notions: ε-Nash (ε-NE) and ε-well-supported Nash (ε-WSNE), where ε is [0,1]. prove that computing an ε-NE PPAD-complete any constant smaller than 1/2, while very simple algorithm (namely, letting all players mix uni...
