We probe the top-quark electric dipole moment (EDM) in top-quark pair production via photon-photon fusion at a photon linear collider. We show how linearly-polarized photon beams can be used to extract information on the topquark EDM without the use of complicated angular correlations of top-quark decay products. If the luminosity of the laser back-scattered photon-photon collisions is comparab...

We propose a nuclear mechanism which can induce an atomic electric dipole moment (EDM). Parity and time reversal violating (P, T-odd) nuclear forces generate a mixed P, T-odd nuclear polarizability β ik (defined by an energy shift U = −β ik E i H k , E is electric field and H magnetic field). The interaction of atomic electrons with β ik produces an atomic EDM. We performed an analytical calcul...

We introduce EDM Vis, an information visualization software tool for exploring, navigating and understanding student data logs. EDM Vis loads student logs, entire classes, hundreds of students, at a time, and displays the student behavior of those students as they solved problems using a software tutor. The visualization uses a tree structure to provide an overview of class performance, and int...

The Edmonston vaccine strain of measles virus (MV-Edm) propagates efficiently in a broad range of human tumor cells, killing them selectively. However, the oncolytic potency of MV-Edm in different human tumor xenograft therapy models is highly variable and there is no convenient way to map the distribution of virus-infected tissues in vivo. To enhance the oncolytic potency of MV-Edm against rad...

This poster describes a visualization tool for educators that allows the exploration of educational data. We display an entire classes sequence of actions to the user using a tree-graph. Our preliminary results suggest that EDM visualization tools are a promising area for future research in EDM.

Our article introduces the Journal of Educational Data Mining’s Special Issue on Educational Data Mining on Motivation, Metacognition, and Self-Regulated Learning. We outline general research challenges for data mining researchers who conduct investigations in these areas, the potential of EDM to advance research in this area, and issues in validating findings generated by EDM.

We study the electric dipole moments(EDM) of the neutron and the electron in the two-Higgs-doublet model, in the case that CP symmetry is violated maximally in the neutral Higgs sector. We take account of the Weinberg’s operator O3g = GGG̃ as well as the operator Oqg = qσG̃q for the neutron, and the Barr-Zee diagrams for the electron. It is found that the predicted neutron EDM could be considerab...

An ultrasonic vibration has been superposed on the normal electrode movement to increase the flushing effect during a micro electro-discharge machining (EDM) process. A systematic study on the effects of ultrasonic vibration on the EDM performance for fabricating microholes in Nitinol has been completed. The introduction of ultrasonic vibration to the microEDM process has more than 60 times inc...

We analyse the dependence of the electron electric dipole moment (EDM) on neutrino CP violating phases in the context of supersymmetric models. We start by studying the supersymmetric contributions to the lepton EDM and lepton flavour violation processes τ → μγ and μ → eγ, in the framework of the mass insertion approximation, showing that, due to the large neutrino mixing, μ → eγ leads to sever...

In many models of CP violation, the electric dipole moment (EDM) of a heavy charged or neutral lepton could be very large. In models in which the EDMs scale as the cube of the mass, as well as in vectorlike models, a 100 GeV heavy lepton can have an EDM as large as 0.01e fermi. This could dominate the electromagnetic properties of heavy leptons. The angular distribution and production cross sec...
