In a study of g'(3684) radiative decays with the Mark II detector at SPEAR, we observe the decay sequence $' -+ rs,(2980), with the q,(2980) decaying into several completely reconstructed hadronic modes. We obtain a mass M = 298ok8 MeV/c2 and a width r < 40 MeV/c2 (gO$ confidence level), and present estimates of some of the decay branching ratios. Submitted to Physical Review Letters *This work...

This paper describes a robust multi-phase algorithm for marking of pitch pulses in speech using both glottal and speech signals. In the first phase, the glottal signal is used for the estimation of the fundamental frequency (f0) contour of the given sentence. Next, pitch mark candidates are generated on the basis of both glottal and speech signals. In the third phase, the best sequence of pitch...

Introduction This chapter explores some of the main issues related to the regulation of the cultural sector, with specific reference to heritage. As the range of activities in the cultural field raises so many different economic questions, not all of them can be dealt with in the space available. Therefore the analysis is restricted mainly to issues connected with built heritage. So far, the to...

This memo describes the results of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor measurements of the 48” mirror at the Whipple Observatory, Mount Hopkins, AZ. The observations show significant errors in the figure of the primary mirror. Visual inspection of the data shows spots that are significantly shifted, distorted in shape, and some spots that are missing entirely from the images. Local slope errors on ...

The Harvard Organic Photovoltaic Dataset (HOPV15) presented in this work is a collation of experimental photovoltaic data from the literature, and corresponding quantum-chemical calculations performed over a range of conformers, each with quantum chemical results using a variety of density functionals and basis sets. It is anticipated that this dataset will be of use in both relating electronic...

A high-intensity pulsed laser, teamed with a moderate sized transmitting telescope, forms an efficient interstellar beacon. To a distant observer in the direction of its slender beam, such a laser transmitter, built with “Earth 2000” technology only, would appear (during its brief pulse) a thousand times brighter than our sun in broadband visible light; even at ranges of 1000 light years a sing...
