A Tale of Four Elections: Central Europe September 1997- September 1998

Welding Journal - 1998 September

Quantification of infrared (IR) radiation is a convenient, noncontact method for making the base metal temperature measurements needed for on-line feedback controls. However, the problem of interference from the arc is a complicating factor in applying IR temperature sensing to welding. The objective of this research is to implement and test a top-face, noncontact temperature measurement system...

A Parallel Quantum Computer Simulator ‡ September 1997

A Quantum Computer is a new type of computer which can efficiently solve complex problems such as prime factorization. A quantum computer threatens the security of public key encryption systems because these systems rely on the fact that prime factorization is computationally difficult. Errors limit the effectiveness of quantum computers. Because of the exponential nature of quantum computers, ...

CERN – TH / 97 - 232 September 1997

We describe the breaking of supersymmetry in M-theory by coordinate dependent (ScherkSchwarz) compactification of the eleventh dimension. Supersymmetry is spontaneously broken in the gravitational and moduli sector and communicated to the observable sector, living at the end-point of the semicircle, by radiative gravitational interactions. This mechanism shares the generic features of non-pertu...
