background: nematodes are among the most common and important parasites of man and animal. dna of a single worm can be used for several purposes, such as identification to the species, subspecies, strain and antihelmenthic resistance. dna extraction from a single small worm using traditional methods such as phenol extraction technique faces serious prob lems. methods: dna from 20 single haemonc...

objective: schizophrenia is a complex widespread neuropsychiatric disorder. this illness encompasses a complex debilitating mental disorder causing illusion, delusion, disturbed relationship, low motivation and decline of emotion. viral infection of the brain including borna disease virus (bdv) may play a role in transient or permanent neurological and behavioral abnormalities. this role of bor...

Recovery is a hard problem in environments where transactions perform work in a cooperative style (e.g., design environments). We propose concepts to control cooperation and recovery within nested transaction hierarchies. By allowing different nodes to run different protocols, we can build so-called recovery spheres with well-defined properties. We characterize those properties and illustrate t...

Compensating transactions are intended to handle situations where it is required to undo either committed or uncommitted transactions that affect other transactions, without resorting to cascading aborts. This stands in sharp contrast to the standard approach to transaction recovery where cascading aborts are avoided by requiring transactions to read only committed data, and where committed tra...

We have performed a search for the angular-momentum forbidden decay K+→π+γ with the E787 detector at BNL. No events were observed in the π+ kinematic region around 227 MeV/c. An upper limit on the branching ratio for the decay is determined to be 3.6× 10−7 at 90% confidence level. Typeset using REVTEX

Abstarct Recently BNL have measured the muon magnetic moment anomaly with increased precision. The world average experimental value shows a discrepancy of 43(16) × 10 from the current Standard Model value. In this paper we investigate the implications of this difference on a class of scalar leptoquark interactions to SM quark-lepton pair. We also discuss the implications of the BNL measurement ...

Recently several experimental groups analysed data on πp → ηπp and πp → ηπn reactions with exotic 1 P -wave and found a conflicting evidence for an exotic meson I = 11(1405). High statistics data on these reactions are presently analysed by BNL E852 Collaboration. All these analyses are based on the crucial assumption that the production amplitudes do not depend on nucleon spin. This assumption...

OPE constraints are studied as a means of distinguishing between the versions of the I = 1 vector spectral function extracted from (i) inclusive I = 1 hadronic electroproduction cross-sections and (ii) inclusive I = 1 hadronic τ decay data, with the goal of clarifying expectations for the leading order hadronic contribution to aµ = (g − 2)µ/2 in the Standard Model. The constraints are shown to,...

An appropriate resource utilization is crucial for organizations in order to avoid, among other things, unnecessary costs (e.g. when resources are under-utilized) and too long execution times (e.g. due to excessive workloads, i.e. resource over-utilization). However, traditional process control and risk measurement approaches do not address resource utilization in processes. We studied an often...
