A summary of the latest αs results at LEP1 and LEP2 from event-shape predictions at O(α 2 s)+NLLA is presented. Later these are compared to measurements obtained using the Experimentally Optimized Scale method. Finally the αs measurement from the 4-jet rate is discussed.

This article consists of two parts. The first section presents the highlights on the goals of neutrino physics, status of the current neutrino experiments and future directions and program. The second section describes the theme, program and research efforts for the TEXONO Collaboration among scientists from Taiwan and China.

Brane/flux annihilation transitions and nonperturbative moduli stabilization

By extending the calculation of Kähler moduli stabilization to account for an embiggened antibrane, we reevaluate brane/flux annihilation in a warped throat with one stabilized Kähler modulus. We find that depending on the relative size of various fluxes three things can occur: the decay process proceeds unhindered, the D3-branes are forbidden to decay classically, or the entire space decompact...

We construct linear operators factorizing the three bases of symmetric polynomials: monomial symmetric functions mλ(x), elementary symmetric polynomials Eλ(x), and Schur functions sλ(x), into products of univariate polynomials.
