Double Diffraction Dissociation At The Fermilab Tevatron Collider, T. Affolder, Kenneth A. Bloom, Collider Detector At Fermilab Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

We present results from a measurement of double diffraction dissociation in p̅p collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The production cross section for events with a central pseudorapidity gap of width Δη⁰ > 3 (overlapping η=0) is found to be 4.43±0.02(stat) ± 1.18(syst) mb [3.42 ± 0.01(stat) ± 1.09(syst) mb] at √s=1800[630] GeV. Our results are compared with previous measurements and with predictions based on Regge theory and factorization.

Observation Of Orbitally Excited B Mesons In Pp̅ Collisions At √S =1.8  Tev, T. Affolder, Kenneth A. Bloom, Collider Detector At Fermilab Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

We measure the relative rate of production of orbitally excited (L=1) states of B mesons (B**) by observing their decays into B π ^±. We reconstruct B mesons through semileptonic decay channels using data collected in pp̅ collisions at √s =1.8 TeV. The fraction of light B mesons that are produced as L=1B** states is measured to be 0.28±0.06(stat) ±0.03(syst). We also measure the collective mass of the B** states, and quantify the result by quoting the (model-dependent) mass of the lowest B** state to be m (B₁)=5.71 ±0.02 GeV/ …

Intermediate Rings Between A Local Domain And Its Completion, Ii, William Heinzer, Christel Rotthaus, Sylvia Wiegand

Nebraska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit: Staff Publications

We present results connecting flatness of extension rings to the Noetherian property for certain intermediate rings between an excellent normal local domain and its completion. We consider conditions for these rings to have Cohen-Macaulay formal fibers. We also present several examples illustrating these results.

Modeling And Simulation Of Steady State And Transient Behaviors For Emergent Socs, Joann M. Paul, Arne Suppe, Donald E. Thomas

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We introduce a formal basis for viewing computer systems as mixed steady state and non-steady state (transient) behaviors to motivate novel design strategies resulting from simultaneous consideration of function, scheduling and architecture. We relate three design styles: Hierarchical decomposition, static mapping and directed platform that have traditionally been separate. By considering them together, we reason that once a steady state system is mapped to an architecture, the unused processing and communication power may be viewed as a platform for a transient system, ultimately resulting in more effective design approaches that ease the static mapping problem while still allowing for effective …

Hierarchical Mobility Management For Voip Traffic, Archan Misra, Subir Das, Anthony J. Mcauley

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

A hierarchical IP-based mobility management mechanism is proposed for VoIP applications. The suggested mechanism uses the DMA (dynamic mobility agent) architecture, based on IDMP (intra-domain mobility management protocol), for managing intra-domain mobility and the dynamic binding mechanism of SIP (session initiation protocol) for managing global mobility. This combination of network and application layer mobility management reduces the global signaling load, provides fast handoff for ongoing conversations, enables efficient global transport and supports IP-layer paging.

Mining Multi-Level Rules With Recurrent Items Using Fp'-Tree, Kok-Leong Ong, Wee-Keong Ng, Ee Peng Lim

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Association rule mining has received broad research in the academic and wide application in the real world. As a result, many variations exist and one such variant is the mining of multi-level rules. The mining of multi-level rules has proved to be useful in discovering important knowledge that conventional algorithms such as Apriori, SETM, DIC etc., miss. However, existing techniques for mining multi-level rules have failed to take into account the recurrence relationship that can occur in a transaction during the translation of an atomic item to a higher level representation. As a result, rules containing recurrent items go unnoticed. …

Bounce And Double Trill Songs Of Male And Female Western Screech-Owls: Characterization And Usefulness For Classification Of Sex, Brian L. Herting, James R. Belthoff

Biology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Both sexes of adult Western Screech-Owls (Otus kennicottii) sing in response to playback of conspecific song within their territories. Two primary songs are the bounce and double trill. Using sonographic analysis of tape-recorded vocalizations, our study quantified characterstics of bounce and double trill songs uttered by individuals within a population of Western Screech-Owls inhabiting riparian woodlands in southwestern Idaho. We asked if songs of males and females differed and, if so, how accurately could songs be classified by sex. On average, male bounce songs were ∼30% lower in frequency than bounce songs of females, but song duration, note duration, number …

Kernels Of Truth Or Distorted Perceptions: Self And Observer Ratings Of Social Anxiety And Performance, Peter J. Norton, Debra A. Hope

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

This study compared self and observer ratings of social performance and anxiety among individuals with social anxiety disorder, nonclinical controls, and participants with dysthymia serving as clinical controls. The purpose was to elucidate whether self-perceptions of individuals with social anxiety disorder reflect observable performance and anxiety differences, negative self-perceptions, or an interaction of the two. Participants engaged in three role-played interactions, and self and observer ratings of performance and anxiety were obtained. In general, self-ratings of anxiety and performance were more negative (greater anxiety and poorer performance) than were observer ratings. Interactions of rating source and diagnosis indicated the discrepancy …

Stranger In A Strange Land: Baptist Dean Of A Jesuit Law School, Mack Player

Faculty Publications

In early 1994 when I was first approached by Santa Clara about beIng dean of its law school, I had to do basic, very basic, research before I returned their call. (This predated Web pages and my ability to access the technology that then existed.) A university guide book gave me the basics.

This sent me scurrymg to an atlas. Where is Santa Clara? As it is to most non-Californians, the profusion of California communities (and universities) with the "Santa" or "San" prefix was bewildering.

Herein foretold one of the princilpal issues that would confront me as dean, namely, the …

Promoting Curiosity Through Students’ Questioning, Harcharan Pardhan, Sadia Muzaffar Bhutta

Institute for Educational Development, Karachi

Asking questions is central to intellectual effort; it is instrumental in bridging the gap between the known and the unknown. Questioning existed even before the time of Greek philosopher Socrates and still prevails in classrooms. Questioning is a major teaching and learning strategy for teachers in Pakistan. Unfortunately, teachers’ questioning overrules students’ questioning, leaving neither space nor time to create an interactive environment that promotes curiosity and meaningful learning. Using an innovative approach, we attempted to implement students’ questioning in an upper primary science classroom. The encouraging findings of our study and their implications are discussed in this article.

Labial Adhesion As A Complication Of Primary Genital Herpes In Young Women, Hatim A. Omar

Pediatrics Faculty Publications

Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted disease in adolescents. It may be associated with significant morbidity if not diagnosed on time or not properly treated. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of labial adhesion secondary to primary herpes in young women and the possible predisposing factors for this complication. The method was analysis of clinical data regarding primary genital herpes in young women seen in an adolescent outpatient clinic at a university hospital. Cases of primary genital herpes seen between December 1^st 1998 and November 30^th 1999 were included. A total of 34 …
