From an analysis of the decay Bs0-->J/psi phi, we obtain the width difference between the light and heavy mass eigenstates DeltaGamma identical with (GammaL-GammaH)=0.17+/-0.09(stat)+/-0.02(syst) ps-1 and the CP-violating phase phis=-0.79+/-0.56(stat)(-0.01)(+0.14)(syst). Under the hypothesis of no CP violation (phis identical with 0), we obtain 1/Gamma=tau(Bs0)=1.52+/-0.08(stat)(-0.03)(+0.01)(...

Nonverbal communication is an important factor in human communication, and body movement synchronization in particular is an important part of nonverbal communication. Some researchers have analyzed body movement synchronization by focusing on changes in the amplitude of body movements. However, the definition of "body movement synchronization" is still unclear. From a theoretical viewpoint, ph...

A difference equation is presented to describe traffic flow on a highway. The difference equation model is derived from the optimal velocity models formulated in terms of the differential equations. It is compared with the differential equation models. We investigate phase transitions among the freely moving phase, the coexisting phase in which jams appear, and the uniform congested phase. The ...

A new difference estimator has been constructed in two-phase sampling using two auxiliary variables w and x .The first phase sampling unit has been selected with probability proportional to measure of size and second phase sample is selected with equal probability without replacement. The proposed estimator has been found to be more efficient as compared to Raj (1965) in which single auxiliary ...

Efficient physical models of bar percussion instruments which preserve spatial sampling are not yet available. In this paper, banded waveguides are proposed as an efficient method for simulating the physics of bars including spatial sampling. In addition two other models are investigated. One is a generalization of the waveguide idea replacing unit delays by all-pass filters modeling the phase ...

The inability to predict lasting languages and architectures led us to develop occa, a C++ library focused on host-device interaction. Using run-time compilation and macro expansions, the result is a novel single kernel language that expands to multiple threading languages. Currently, occa supports device kernel expansions for the OpenMP, OpenCL, and CUDA platforms. Computational results using ...

In this paper, we present an algorithm called ReliableMask SelectionPhase Difference Channel Weighting (RMS-PDCW) which selects the target source masked by a noise source using the Angle of Arrival (AoA) information calculated using the phase difference information. The RMS-PDCW algorithm selects masks to apply using the information about the localized sound source and the onset detection of sp...

Binocular vision is traditionally treated as two processes: the fusion of similar images, and the interocular suppression of dissimilar images (e.g. binocular rivalry). Recent work has demonstrated that interocular suppression is phase-insensitive, whereas binocular summation occurs only when stimuli are in phase. But how do these processes affect our perception of binocular contrast? We measur...

We present calculations of the time lags and the coherence function of X-ray photons for a novel model of radiation emission from accretion powered, high-energy sources. Our model involves only Comptonization of soft photons injected near the compact object in an extended but non-uniform atmosphere around the compact object. Our results show that this model produces time lags between the hard a...
