1 The Palomar - Quest ( PQ ) Survey : The Science Case

3.1 The Large QSO Survey. The principal effort of the Yale group is a search for QSOs using both colors and variability as selection criteria. Different combinations of UBRIriz colors can be used to select QSOs out to z ~ 6, with a majority at z ~ 2 ± 1. Variability is essentially redshift-independent selection method. For a demonstration of the methodology, see, e.g., Rengstorf et al. (2003). ...

The quest for an HIV-1 therapeutic vaccine.

The hallmark of acute HIV-1 infection is overwhelming viral replication in CD4 + T cells that results in high levels of viremia. The initial peak of viral replication begins to decline simultaneously with the appearance of HIV-1–specific T cells, implicating the strong antiviral activity of these responses during acute infection [1, 2]. Several recent studies have demonstrated that the function...

Overview over the Project 1 Structure of Quest

The software development project Quest provides tools to build correct software, especially for embedded systems. It connects the CASE-tool AutoFocus to the formal development tool VSE II, and the model checker SMV. To increase quality of non-formally developed programs a test environment is realized, containing a connection to the test-case classiication tool CTE. Proving the correctness of th...
