We report the results of the global electroweak fit, with emphasis on the most recent results which served as input of the fit. The output of the fit sets also limits on the Standard Model Higgs mass.

This paper develops an approach to testing the adequacy of both classical and Bayesian models given sample data. An important feature of the approach is that we are able to test the practical scientiic hypothesis of whether the true underlying model is close to some hypothesized model. The notion of closeness is based on measurement precision and requires the introduction of a metric for which ...

shrink fit process is a useful technique in order to introduce beneficial residual stress in compound pressure vessels. in this paper, the effects of geometrical tolerances on residual stresses have been studied for a compound shrink fitted pressure vessel, practically. three layers, which are designed based on an optimum nominal thickness and overlap dimensions and tolerances, have been fitted...

bone-patellar tendon auto graft is probably the most widely used graft for acl reconstruction. several methods for graft fixation have been described. to avoid intra-articular hardware we adopt biological fixation with a femoral trapezoidal press-fit fixation. a prospective study was performed on 30 consecutive active people who underwent acl reconstruction with this technique by two surgeons b...

ramand region is a part of qazvin province located in south west of buin-zahra. in this region, hydrothermal alterations have been extended within magmatic occurrences and therefore are mostly detectable by remote sensing techniques. altered facies could be well enhanced after applying selective principle component analysis (spca), least squares fitting method (ls-fit) and spectral angel mapper...
