Losses from the proton and antiproton beams of the Fermilab Tevatron have been shown to produce a halo which contribute to backgrounds to physics signals in the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). To provide a measure of the beam halo and losses, we have installed arrays of scintillation counters on both sides of the CDF detector. We describe here the physical configuration of these counters, ...

The purpose of this article is to examine major interrelated issues that are present in current discussions about the biblical Flood narrative of Gen 6-9. These include such questions as: the unity and literary genre of these chapters, the nature and extent of the biblical Flood, the relationship between history and theology in the Flood narrative, and the relationship of the biblical Flood nar...

Literature helps us to know about a country, people, beliefs, professions and races but it doesn’t give clear idea folklore. Folklore literature is storehouse of what human society has experienced learned. At beginning man lived his life according wish. The only source for him nature they worshipped nature. From that many festivals, beliefs sacrifices are formed. They separated worshipping as m...

Let M be a simply connected complex submanifold of C . We prove that M is irreducible, up a totally geodesic factor, if and only if the normal holonomy group acts irreducibly. This is an extrinsic analogue of the well-known De Rham decomposition theorem for a complex manifold. Our result is not valid in the real context, as it is shown by many counter-examples.

Since their inception, social networking sites (SNSs) have experienced exponential growth. While substantial research has been dedicated to users’ initial adoption of SNSs, the fall of MySpace reminds us that the long-term success of SNSs depends on users’ post adoption staying power. Inspired by this, this work-in-progress investigates users’ “stickiness” with a specific SNS. Based on Li et al...

This paper reports on an empirical investigation of the relationship between print and hypertext reading skills. Subjects in the study were university students at a public Midwestern university. A repeated-measures, counter-balanced design was employed. Subjects were categorized as highand low-ability readers based on a standardized measure of reading achievement. Experimental tasks required su...
