The tau neutrino is a neutral third generation lepton contained within the Standard Model Family Several experiments have been studying the properties of the tau neutrino nevertheless it has yet to be directly observed Several di erent methods that can allow one to study the mass of the tau neutrino are presented in this review The measurements of the lifetime and magnetic moment of the tau neu...

The expressions of MMP2, -7, -9, -13 and TIMP1, -2, -3 were examined in biopsies and cell lines of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) to determine the association between the expression profile and TNM-staging of the primary. The expressions of MMP2, -7, -9, -13 and TIMP1, -2, -3 were analyzed in 30 HNSCC biopsies, 7 HNSCC cell lines and 1 keratinocyte cell line using RT-PCR. Negati...

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...

A STUDY OF THE FAST SOLUTION OF THE OCCLUDED RADIOSITY EQUATION KENDALL ATKINSON AND DAVID CHIEN Abstract. Consider the numerical solution of the radiosity equation over an occluded surface using a collocation method based on piecewise polynomial interpolation. Hackbusch and Nowak [12] proposed a fast method of solution for boundary integral equations, and we consider the application of their m...

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...

Land condition assessment is a basic prerequisite for finding the degradation of a territory, which might lead to desertification under climatic and human pressures. The temporal change in vegetation productivity is a key indicator of land degradation. In this paper, taking the Otindag Sandy Land as a case, the mean normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI_a), net primary production (NPP) a...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new estimation method for estimating the Archimedean copula dependence parameter in the non-parametric setting. The estimation of the dependence parameter has been selected as the value that minimizes the Cramér-von-Mises distance which measures the distance between Empirical Bernstein Kendall distribution function and true Kendall distribution functi...
