The Standard Model does not provide a very good fit to the most recent precision electroweak data from LEP, due primarily to the observed branching ratios for Z decay to bb̄ and cc̄. The possibility that an extension of the Standard Model with low-energy supersymmetry can improve the agreement between data and theory is considered. Invited Talk at the 1995 International Europhysics Conference on ...

evaluation of river discharges trends is very important for water resources management and design of irrigation and drainage networks. in this research, annual, seasonal and monthly trends of maroon river discharge were evaluated using the mann-kendall and sen’s slope estimator non-parametric tests and the regression analysis parametric test. for this purpose, river discharge data from five h...

TECHNOLOGY, ECONOMIC FACTORS, AND changes in the educational system are major factors in what is being termed a “revolution” in libraries. Does library user education have a place in that future? Some believe that libraries would be more effective concentrating their resources elsewhere. To put library instruction in perspective requires a look at its past and the status of programs in terms of...
