DAC at 50: The Second 25 Years

1 DAC at 50: The Second 25 Years Rob A. Rutenbar University of Illinois at Urbana-­‐Champaign How does one survey a quarter century of technical contributions at a world-­‐class venue like the Design Automation Conference? This was the daunting challenge I faced when asked to survey the second 25 years of DAC’s history at the 50th anniversary conference event in 2013. One can imagine severa...

Talk presented at “50 Years of Electroweak Physics: A symposium in honor of Professor

I discuss the theoretical uncertainties in the indirect Higgs mass determination. I present the probability density function for the Higgs mass obtained combining together the information from precision measurements with the results from the direct search experiments carried out at LEP. The probability that the Higgs weights less than 116 GeV comes out to be around 35% while the 95% upper limit...

My 50 years of research in particle physics

Some of my work of the last 50 years in the field of theoretical particle physics is described with particular emphasis on the motivation, the process of investigation, relationship to the work of others, and its impact. My judgment is unavoidably subjective, although I do present the comments of other researchers as much as possible.

Propofol has withstood the test of 20 years at the forefront of anaesthesia

482 The Pharmaceutical Journal (Vol 280) 19 April 2008 When the intravenous anaesthetic propofol (Diprivan) was launched in the UK in 1986, it could not have arrived at a better time. For two years anaesthetists had been relying mainly on the barbiturates thiopentone and methohexitone to put patients to sleep, following the withdrawal of the widely used steroid agent Althesin in 1984 owing to s...
