Admittedly the idea of a creative generator ensconced in the human soul does n...

New data on jet production obtained by the CDF and D0 Collaborations at the Tevatron in Run II are analyzed in the framework of z-scaling. Properties of data z-presentation are discussed. Physics interpretation of the scaling function ψ(z) as a probability density to produce a particle with the formation length z is argued. It was shown that these experimental data confirm z-scaling. Submitted ...

Reliability of is of growing concern in computational systems [6]. Studies have shown [7, 3, 5] that memory errors are a major source of hardware errors, comparable to CPU and HDD errors [5], and therefore a major source of system reliability problems. In this paper I present a short introduction to the causes and prevalence of main memory errors and showcase a selection of common approaches to...

Biofuel, a form of renewable fuel, has promising future, especially as the alternative fuel for transportation. Biofuel is usually blended with petroleum fuel and used in flex fuel engines. Since the characteristics of biofuel are quite different from those of the petroleum based fuel, it is very important to optimize the combustion properties for biofuel engines under different fuel blends. Th...
