Search For Τ-→Γμ-: A Test Of Lepton Number Conservation, A. Bean, M. Thulasidas Jan 1993

Search For Τ-→Γμ-: A Test Of Lepton Number Conservation, A. Bean, M. Thulasidas

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

A search for the lepton mumber violating decay of the τ lepton to the γμ final state has been performed with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell e+e− storage ring CESR. In a data sample that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.55 fb−1, we observe no candidates in the signal region. We thus determine an upper limit of B(τ−→γμ−)


Study Of D0 Decays Into K̄0 And K̄*0, M. Procario, M. Thulasidas Jan 1993

Study Of D0 Decays Into K̄0 And K̄*0, M. Procario, M. Thulasidas

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Using the CLEO II detector at CESR we have studied D0 decays into final states with a ¯K0 or ¯K*0, and have measured branching ratios for the decay modes D0→(¯K0¯K*0)π0, η, η′. These results are compared with predictions of various charm decay models, and contributions of final-state interactions are discussed.


A Rule-Based System For Query Feedback, Hock C. Chan, Kwok-Kee Wei, Keng Siau Jan 1993

A Rule-Based System For Query Feedback, Hock C. Chan, Kwok-Kee Wei, Keng Siau

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The authors propose a rule-based system which provides feedback in order to give the user a better understanding of the user's queries. This technique improves query accuracy and confidence. A rule-based expert system that pinpoints syntax errors is described. It suggests possible semantics errors and provides possible solutions, as well as the English translation for the queries. The system can be used for computer-aided training and in actual operations. The system was experimentally tested with a group of students.


Tau Decays With One Charged Particle Plus Multiple Π0'S, M. Procario, Manoj Thulasidas Jan 1993

Tau Decays With One Charged Particle Plus Multiple Π0'S, M. Procario, Manoj Thulasidas

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

With the CLEO-II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have measured branching fractions for tau lepton decay into one-prong final states with multiple π0’s B0hnπ, normalized to the branching fraction for tau decay into one charged particle and a single π0. We find B0h2π/B0hπ=0.345±0.006±0.016, B0h3π/B0hπ=0.041 ±0.003±0.005, and B0h4π/B0hπ=0.006±0.002±0.002.

A Comparison Of Queueing, Cluster And Distributed Computing Systems, Joseph A. Kaplan, Michael L. Nelson Jan 1993

A Comparison Of Queueing, Cluster And Distributed Computing Systems, Joseph A. Kaplan, Michael L. Nelson

Computer Science Faculty Publications

Using workstation clusters for distributed computing has become popular with the proliferation of inexpensive, powerful workstations. Workstation clusters offer both a cost effective alternative to batch processing and an easy entry into parallel computing. However, a number of workstations on a network does not constitute a cluster. Cluster management software is necessary to harness the collective computing power. A variety of cluster management and queuing systems are compared: Distributed Queueing Systems (DQS), Condor, Load Leveler, Load Balancer, Load Sharing Facility (LSF - formerly Utopia), Distributed Job Manager (DJM), Computing in Distributed Networked Environments (CODINE), and NQS/Exec. The systems differ in …


Intel Nx To Pvm 3.2 Message Passing Conversion Library, Trey Arthur, Michael L. Nelson Jan 1993

Intel Nx To Pvm 3.2 Message Passing Conversion Library, Trey Arthur, Michael L. Nelson

Computer Science Faculty Publications

NASA Langley Research Center has developed a library that allows Intel NX message passing codes to be executed under the more popular and widely supported Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) message passing library. PVM was developed at Oak Ridge National Labs and has become the defacto standard for message passing. This library will allow the many programs that were developed on the Intel iPSC/860 or Intel Paragon in a Single Program Multiple Data (SPMD) design to be ported to the numerous architectures that PVM (version 3.2) supports. Also, the library adds global operations capability to PVM. A familiarity with Intel NX …


Optimal Greedy Algorithms For Indifference Graphs, Peter J. Looges, Stephan Olariu Jan 1993

Optimal Greedy Algorithms For Indifference Graphs, Peter J. Looges, Stephan Olariu

Computer Science Faculty Publications

A fundamental problem in social sciences and management is understanding and predicting decisions made by individuals, various groups, or the society as a whole. In this context, one important concept is the notion of indifference. We characterize the class of indifference graphs, that is, graphs which arise in the process of quantifying indifference relations. In particular, we show that these graphs are characterized by the existence of a special ordering of their vertices. As it turns out, this ordering leads naturally to optimal greedy algorithms for a number of computational problems, including coloring, finding a shortest path between two vertices, …
