The primary physics goals of a high luminosity e+e− flavor factory are discussed, including the possibilities to perform detailed studies of the CKM mechanism of quark mixing, and constrain virtual Higgs and nonstandard model particle contributions to the dynamics of rare Bu,d,s decays. The large samples of D mesons and tau leptons produced at a flavor factory will result in improved sensitivit...

Computing similarity between short microblogs is an important step in microblog recommendation. In this paper, we investigate a topic based approach and a WordNet based approach to estimate similarity scores between microblogs and recommend top related ones to users. Empirical study is conducted to compare their recommendation effectiveness using two evaluation measures. The results show that t...

We investigate here how to treat numerically the Kendall functional equation occuring in the theory of branching processes and queueing theory. We discuss this question in the context of priority queueing systems with switchover times. In numerical analysis of such systems one deals with functional equations of the Kendall type and efficient numerical treatment of these is necessary in order to...
