Amidst long-running debates within the field, High Energy Physics (HEP) has adopted a statistical methodology that primarily employs standard frequentist techniques such as significance testing and confidence interval estimation, but incorporates Bayesian methods for limited purposes. The recent discovery of the Higgs boson has drawn increased attention to the statistical methods employed withi...

According to the experimental data, it is still controversial whether the neutrinos, especially the electron-neutrino and muon-neutrino, can be considered as the fermionic spinorial tachyons, and there is still no reliable report on the existence of the right-handed neutrinos. In this letter, we show that the neutrinos with the single handedness can not be the tachyons, but only those of the bo...

World-wide collaboration in high-energy physics (HEP) is a tradition which dates back several decades, with scientific publications mostly coauthored by scientists from different countries. This coauthorship phenomenon makes it difficult to identify precisely the “share” of each country in HEP scientific production. One year’s worth of HEP scientific articles published in peer-reviewed journals...

We describe dimensionally constrained symbolic regression which has been developed for mass measurement in certain classes of events in high-energy physics (HEP). With symbolic regression, we can derive equations that are well known in HEP. However, in problems with large number of variables, we find that by constraining the terms allowed in the symbolic regression, convergence behavior is impr...

Similar to molecular engineering where structural diversity is used to create more property variations for application explorations, the architectural engineering of heterogeneous metallic nanocrystals (HMNCs) can likewise increase the versatility of metallic nanocrystals (NCs). Here we present a synthesis strategy capable of engineering the architectural diversity of HMNCs through rational and...

The rapid progress of biotechnology provides an increasing number of life science databases. These databases have been operated and managed individually on the Internet. Under such a circumstance, it is needed to develop an infrastructure that allows to share information contained in these databases and to conduct research collaboration. Grid technology is an emerging technology for seamless an...

We consider two-dimensional Brans-Dicke theory to study the initial singularity problem. It turns out that the initial curvature singularity can be finite for a certain Brans-Dicke constant ω by considering the quantum back reaction of the geometry. For ω = 1, the universe starts with the finite curvature scalar and evolves into the flat spacetime. Furthermore the divergent gravitational coupli...

Java's design goals of portability, safety, and ubiquity make it a potentially ideal language for large-scale heterogeneous computing. One of the remaining challenges is to create performance models and associated speci cations and programming constructs that can be used to reason about performance properties of systems implemented in Java.
