The most general model-independent analysis of the rare B decay, B → X s l + l − , is presented. There are ten independent local four-Fermi interactions which may contribute to this process. The branching ratio, the forward-backward asymmetry, and the double differential rate are written as functions of the Wilson coefficients of the ten operators. We also study the correlation between the bran...

This draft report organizes our work on this topic to date. The work will continue. Hence, the bulk of this report is an unfinished appendix. We have organized this work on the impact that software complexity has for aircraft safety by looking in two directions. Backward tracing asks the question, “What aspects of safety, V&V, and certification can be complicated by complexity?” Forward tracing...

A general relationship is established between semiclassical and centroid-based methods for calculating real-time quantum-mechanical correlation functions. It is first shown that the linearized semiclassical initial-value-representation ~LSC-IVR! approximation can be obtained via direct linearization of the forward-backward action in the exact path integral expression for the correlation functio...

We attempt a structured view at the ontological query answering problem by distinguishing between two antagonistic perspectives: The knowledge representation perspective considers the ontology as a part of the specified knowledge whereas the database perspective assumes it to be part of the query. These two perspectives give rise to two computation strategies: (data-driven) forward chaining and...

conclusions the most effected parts in asd are lateral connections of hmasd. two-sided connections which are completely symmetric become more active, and cause extra synchronization. on the other hand, due to special characteristic of two-sided connections and their ability to simulate the same phased dynamics, they cause unnatural asymmetry in children’s eeg signal. these results are consisten...
