This work proposes innovative permutation-based procedures controlling the Familywise Error rate (FWE). It is proofed that weighted procedures control the FWE if weights are a function of the sufficient statistic. Particularly, we focus on the use of the additional information given by the total variance of each variables. The first proposal considers the use of weights applied to the combining...

Astro-WISE1 (Vriend et al. 2012) is the Astronomical Wide-field Imaging System for Europe (Valentijn et al. 2007). It is a scientific information system which consists of hardware and software federated over about a dozen institutes throughout Europe. It has been developed to exploit the ever increasing avalanche of data produced by astronomical surveys and data intensive scientific experiments...

We propose the B c → B * u γ decay as the most suitable probe for the flavour changing neutral transition c → uγ. We estimate the short and long distance contributions to this decay within the standard model and we find them to be comparable; this is in contrast to radia-tive decays of D mesons, that are completely dominated by the long distance contributions. Since the c → uγ transition is ver...
