چکیده
The Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) experiment uses an acceleratorproduced neutrino beam to perform precision measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameters in the “atmospheric neutrino” sector associated with muon neutrino disappearance. This long-baseline experiment measures neutrino interactions in Fermilab’s NuMI neutrino beam with a near detector at Fermilab and again 735 km downstream with a far detector in the Soudan Underground Laboratory in northern Minnesota. The two detectors are magnetized steel-scintillator tracking calorimeters. They are designed to be as similar as possible in order to ensure that differences in detector response have minimal impact on the comparisons of event rates, energy spectra and topologies that are essential to MINOS measurements of oscillation parameters. The design, construction, calibration and performance of the far and near detectors are described in this paper.

The Jones polynomial of ribbon links
For every n–component ribbon link L we prove that the Jones polynomial V(L) is divisible by the polynomial V(©n) of the trivial link. This integrality property allows us to define a generalized determinant det V(L) := [V(L)/V(©)](t 7→−1) , for which we derive congruences reminiscent of the Arf invariant: every ribbon link L = K1∪· · ·∪Kn satisfies det V(L) ≡ det(K1) · · · det(Kn) modulo 32, whe...

Background and Objective: Effects of electeromagnetic exposure on different parts of neruous system and memory of humans and animals has been established. In spite of important human studies, animal studies have been more precise and comprehensive. Extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF, <300Hz), have been reported to induce a variaty of behavioral and physiological function change...

متن کاملAnalysis of the conformational dependence of mass-metric tensor determinants in serial polymers with constraints.
It is well known that mass-metric tensor determinants det(G(s)) influence the equilibrium statistics and the rates of conformational transitions for polymers with constrained bond lengths and bond angles. It is now standard practice to include a Fixman-style compensating potential of the form U(c)(q(s)) proportional, variant(-k(B)T/2)ln[det(G(s))] as part of algorithms for torsional space molec...
متن کاملDifferent secretory response of pancreatic islets and insulin secreting cell lines INS-1 and INS-1E to osmotic stimuli.
Objective of this study was to characterize osmotically-induced insulin secretion in two tumor cell lines. We compared response of freshly isolated rat pancreatic islets and INS-1 and INS-1E tumor cell lines to high glucose, 30 % hypotonic medium and 20 % hypertonic medium. In Ca(2+)-containing medium glucose induced insulin release in all three cell types. Hypotonicity induced insulin secretio...
