The present Standard Model prediction for muon g − 2 is reviewed. Emphasis is put in discussing the main hadronic uncertainties. December 2001 Invited talk at “Kaon 2001”, 6-13 June 2001, Pisa, Italy.

A scale height of the vertical water vapor distribution in the troposphere is shown to be related to the rate at which the total integrated water vapor (IWV) decorrelates with horizontal separation. This relationship is based on the departure from simple Kolmogorov behavior of the turbulence structure of the IWV as the horizontal separation becomes a significant fraction of the scale height of ...

Detailed models are presented for the triple-stranded polynucleotide helices of poly (U)-poly (A)-poly (U) (two forms), poly (U)-poly d (A) -poly (U), poly d(C)-poly d(I)-poly d(C), poly d(T)-polyd(A)-poly d(T) and poly (I)-poly (A)-poly (I). The models were genrated using a computerized, linked-atom procedure which preserves standard bond lengths, bond anglesand sugar ring conformations, const...

This paper presents implementation of Tadao Kasami decoding algorithm for improved error trapping decoding and firmware realization details. Algorithm has been applied to cyclic (n, k) codes [Golay (23, 12) and BCH (31, 16)] for triple error correction. Microblaze 32-bit soft core processor was used with a Xilinx Spartan3 FPGA. To test decoder functionality, a test procedure with all possible e...

This application note describes the use of a quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) sample preparation procedure. The QuEChERS method employs an extraction and cleanup protocol for the determination of acrylamide with C3-acrylamide as the internal standard. The analyte and internal standard were separated on a reversed phase C-18 column (2.1 mm × 150 mm, 3 μm) by isocratic e...

Aryl- and hetaryl-substituted acetylenes undergo regio- stereoselective silylzincation by reaction with [(Me3Si)3Si]2Zn in the presence of Et2Zn (10–110 mol%) as additive. The distinctive feature this addition across C?C triple bond is its trans stereoselectivity. radical nature process supported diagnostic experiments DFT calculations, which also corroborate role played steric effects to obtai...

Objective Proteus syndrome is a rare overgrowth disorder including bone, soft tissue, and skin. Central nervous system manifestations were reported in about 40% of the patients including hemimegalencephaly and the resultant hemicranial hyperplasia, convulsions and mental deficiency. We report a 1-month-old male baby referred to Pediatric Neurology Clinic Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia in...

Water droplets on insulating material influence strongly the aging process of the material. The shape of the droplets signifies the state of the aging material. The present paper discusses a numerical procedure to calculate the droplet shape in an electric field generated by a constant voltage. A combined stationary solution of the droplet shape and the electric field is searched for. This lead...
