We present the Flavour Les Houches Accord (FLHA) which specifies a set of conventions for flavour-related parameters and observables. The FLHA uses the generic SUSY Les Houches Accord (SLHA) file structure. It defines the relevant Standard Model masses, Wilson coefficients, decay constants, bag parameters, flavour observables, etc. The accord provides a universal and model-independent interface...

This paper examines the relationship between Australian and world strike activity between 1960 and 1998. Appropriate indices are constructed for which evidence of a long-run equilibrium relation is found between Australian and world strike activity. The evidence suggests Australian and world strike rate indices are cointegrated with a breakpoint in that relation occurring sometime in the very l...

The joint venture of artificial neural network and data mining make the process more perfect, powerful, fast, distributed, fault and noise tolerance and independence of prior assumption. This paper is an overview of artificial neural network, data mining, knowledge management and the purpose of ANN in the field of data mining. Due to the huge amount of data in the data warehouse and data bases,...

We propose and evaluate admission control mechanisms for ACCORD, an Admission Control and Capacity Overload management Real-time Database framework|an architecture and a transaction model|for hard deadline RTDB systems. The system architecture consists of admission control and scheduling components which provide early noti cation of failure to submitted transactions that are deemed not valuable...
