Nuclear structure at the highest spins is very likely to involve both collective and single-particle aspects. The liquid-drop model favors shapes that imply combinations of collective (rotational) and rotation-aligned single-particle angular momenta. The detailed band structures for the full range of such mixtures are considered. Nuc le i are composed o f a smal l ( b u t n o t t o o sma l l ) ...

Results of simulations of pion production and power dissipation by 8 to 30 GeV proton beams in co-axial and tilted targets of liquid gallium and platinum oxide, placed in a 20 T solenoid, are reported. Pion and muon distributions are followed through the matching solenoid and decay channel. I N T R O D U C T I O N The proposed p+p-col l ider complex [1] includes a rapid cycling (15 Hz) synchrot...

The Berlekamp-Massey a lgor i thm (1968) i teratively constructs a shor tes t linear recurrence relation for a finite sequence of numbers. Here we present a system-theoretic explana t ion of t h e algor i t h m as well as an extension that cons t ruc ts a shortest linear recurrence relation for a finite sequence of matrices, r a t h e r than numbers. Originally designed for decoding BCH/Reed-So...

This paper concentrates on the issue of matchmaking in the context of web services. It provides a brief review of the difference between directory services and matchmaking facilities and explains why directories such as UDDI are important but insufficient for web services and need to be complemented with advanced matchmaking facilities. It discusses the requirements that web services place on m...

Introduction: SENSE imaging technique is adapted to MR Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) to shorten acquisition times. A phased array coil was designed and optimized for this application and MREIT data was reconstructed from the SENSE accelerated images. A quasi-intrinsic decoupling scheme was used to minimize couplings between coil elements and the geometry was optimized to achieve high ...

We consider t ha t we have made a dec is ive step towards determinism in pa rs ing . We agree w i th Winograd 's h e s i t a t i o n to evaluate the determinism hypothes i s as formulated by Marcus. However, t h i s does not make us doubt about the p o s s i b i l i t y of de te rmi nism; on the con t ra ry , we examined not only how to improve over Marcus, but also the h i s t o r i c a l reas...
