We have searched 310 hadronic 2 decays for evidence of new quarks and leptons. We set lower mass limits of 40.7 GeV/c2 for top, 45 GeV/c2 for bottom prime, and 42.4 GeV/c2 for a heavy neutral lepton assuming their decays are predominantly via the charged current. Limits are also set for other decay modes and for mixtures of decay modes. Extended version of paper presented at the International E...

the use of heavy machinery in forestry operations such as logging has increased worldwide during the last decades. however, these machines may seriously influence the soil ecosystem as they induce rutting, disturbing the upper soil layers, and soil compaction. severe compaction of soil adversely affects the growth of plants.this study was done by using a penetration resistance experiment in a g...

Mechanistic details of DNA compaction is essential blue print for gene regulation in living organisms.Many in vitro studies have been implemented using several compaction agents. However, these compacting agents may have some kinds of cytotoxic effects to the cells. To minimize this aspect, several research works had been performed, but people have never focused green solvent, i.e. room tempera...

A prominent theoretical controversy in the compensating differentials literature concerns unobservable individual productivity. Competing models yield opposite predictions depending on whether the unobservable productivity is safety-related skill or productivity generally. Using five panel waves and several new measures of worker fatality risks, first-difference estimates imply that omitting in...

Bioinformatics testing approaches for protein allergenicity, involving amino acid sequence comparisons, have evolved appreciably over the last several years to increased sophistication and performance. EVALLER, the web server presented in this article is based on our recently published ‘Detection based on Filtered Length-adjusted Allergen Peptides’ (DFLAP) algorithm, which affords in silico det...

During eukaryotic evolution, genome size has increased disproportionately to nuclear volume, necessitating greater degrees of chromatin compaction in higher eukaryotes, which have evolved several mechanisms for genome compaction. However, it is unknown whether histones themselves have evolved to regulate chromatin compaction. Analysis of histone sequences from 160 eukaryotes revealed that the H...

A software for soil compaction analysis (SCAN) has been developed for evaluating the compaction states using the data from the GPS as well as a compactometer attached on the roller. The SCAN is distinguished from other previous software for intelligent compaction (IC) in that it can use the results from various types of GPS positioning methods, and it also has an optimal structure for remotely ...

This paper describes finite element analysis of compaction for dry textiles during preform manufacture. The models are generated using procedures encompassed in our TexGen textile modeling schema. Meshing and material property allocations are performed automatically, including definition of material orientations for each of the elements. Tow elements are modeled using a transverse isotropic mod...

Two fast algorithms for static test sequence compaction are proposed for sequential circuits. The algorithms are based on the observation that test sequences traverse through a small set of states, and some states are frequently re-visited throughout the application of a test set. Subse-quences that start and end on the same states may be removed if necessary and suucient conditions are met for...
