Advances in agent technology depend on improving frameworks for building and supporting agent societies. Experience suggests that first generation multi-agent systems fall short of providing a rapid prototyping development environment for the systematic construction and deployment of agent-oriented applications. While at least sixty[1] different agent systems have been implemented, few efforts ...

Ancient Greek and Roman sources report that the statue of Zeus in Olympia had a head, and in particular eyes, similar to the description of Zeus by Homer, so we think that the statue was visible to the human eye. Since the temple was 12 m high, and had a small door and no windows, the illumination of the statue by conventional media is questionable. The aim of this paper is to characterize the ...

Der ZEUS Workshop wird seit seiner Gründung 2009 jährlich abgehalten. Er ist mit dem Ziel entstanden, eine Plattform zu schaffen, welche die Möglichkeit bietet, neue Ideen zu diskutieren und laufende Arbeiten zu präsentieren sowie zur Bildung und Stärkung eines wissenschaftlichen Netzwerks für junge Forscher in Europa. Die eingereichten Beiträge erhalten im Zuge eines Peer-Review-Verfahrens aus...

During the HERA luminosity shutdown period 2000/01 the tracking system of the ZEUS experiment has been upgraded with a silicon Micro Vertex Detector (MVD). The barrel part of the detector consists of three layers of single sided silicon strip detectors, while the forward section is composed of four wheels. In this report we shortly present the assembly procedure and in more details the test bea...

The H1 and Zeus collaborations have measured the inclusive diffractive DIS cross section ep→ eXp and these measurements are in good agreement within a normalisation uncertainty. Diffractive parton density functions (DPDFs) have been extracted from NLO QCD fits to these data and the predictions of these DPDFs compare well with measurements of diffractive dijets in DIS, proving the validity of th...

In this study, a male specimen of John dory (Zeus faber) with 31.4 cm in total length and 365.43 g body weight was caught trammel net at depth 15 m from Fener Island the province Fatsa (Ordu, Black Sea). This record is first verified report suggesting that expanded its distribution Mediterranean towards Geographical Sub-Area 29 (Black

Deep inelastic scattering cross section measurements previously published by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations are combined. The procedure takes into account the systematic error correlations in a coherent approach, leading to a significantly reduced overall cross section uncertainty by cross calibrating the various data sets. The analysis is based on data with momentum transfers Q2 > 0.045 GeV2 c...

Laparoscopy has found a role in standard urologic practice, and with training programs continuing to increase emphasis on its use, the division between skill sets of established non-laparoscopic urologic practitioners and urology trainees continues to widen. At the other end of the spectrum, as technology progresses apace, advanced laparoscopists continue to question the role of surgical roboti...

Charm quarks are produced copiously in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at HERA. At sufficiently high photon virtualities, Q, the production of charm quarks constitutes up to 30% of the total cross section [1,2]. Previous measurements of D∗ cross sections [1,2,3,4] indicate that the production of charm quarks in DIS in the range 1 < Q < 600 GeV is consistent with QCD calculations in which charm ...

We update our estimates of charged and neutral current neutrino total cross sections on isoscalar nucleons at ultrahigh energies using a global (x, Q) fit, motivated by the Froissart bound [1], to the F2 (electron-proton) structure function utilizing the most recent analysis [2] of the complete ZEUS and H1 data sets from HERA I. Using the large Q, small Bjorken-x limits of the “wee” parton mode...
