We study the effects of SO(10) D-terms on the allowed parameter space ( APS ) in models with t− b− τ and b− τ Yukawa unifiction. The former is allowed only for moderate values of the D-term, if very precise ( ≤ 5% ) unification is required. Next we constrain the parameter space by looking for different dangerous directions where the scalar potential may be unbounded from below ( UFB1 and UFB3 )...

In this thesis we describe an approach to the recommender system problem based on the Probabilistic Relational Model framework. Traditionally, recommender systems have fallen into two broad categories: content-based and collaborative-filteringbased recommender systems, each of which has a distinct set of strengths and weaknesses. We present a sound statistical framework for integrating both of ...

BACKGROUND In spite of successful adoption of electronic patient records (EPR) by Norwegian GPs, what constitutes the actual benefits and effects of the use of EPRs in the perspective of the GPs and patients has not been fully characterized. We wanted to study primary care physicians' use of electronic patient record (EPR) systems in terms of use of different EPR functions and the time spent on...
