By attaching five (complex) anticommuting property coordinates to the four (real) commuting space-time ones, it is possible to accommodate all the known fundamental particles in their three generations. A general relativistic extension to space-time-property can be carried out such that the gauge fields find their place in the space-property sector and the Higgs scalars in the property-property...

Various recent results of new particle searches at the Fermilab Tevatron are presented. No evidence is found for supersymmetric particles (chargino, gluino), leptoquark bosons and heavy gauge bosons in pp̄ collisions at √ s = 1.8 TeV. Excluded mass regions for each particle are determined.

I discuss the importance of the O(g4m2t/M 2 W ) corrections to the effective electroweak angle and MW in the indirect determination of the Higgs mass. I emphasize the rôle of a very preciseMW measurement on the MH estimate. ∗ Talk presented at the Zeuthen Workshop on Elementary Particle Theory ”Loops and Legs in Gauge Theories” Rheinsberg, Germany, April 19-24, 1998

The structure of low-energy supersymmetric models of fundamental particles and interactions is reviewed, with an emphasis on the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) and some of its variants. Various approaches to the supersymmetry-breaking mechanism are considered. The implications for the phenomenology of Higgs bosons and supersymmetric particles at future colliders a...

The hydrodynamic effect on a thin particle layer, which moves relative to fluid by an external force, is investigated theoretically and numerically. Because of the presence of layer ends, the arrangement of particles in the layer is anisotropic and the drag force acting on them varies according to the position. The resulting relative motion of particles brings about the spreading of the layer. ...

The hydrodynamic interactions between colloidal particles in small ensembles are measured at varying distances from a no-slip surface over a range of inter-particle separations. The diffusion tensor for motion parallel to the wall of each ensemble is calculated by analyzing thousands of particle trajectories generated by blinking holographic optical tweezers and by dynamic simulation. The Stoke...

We determine the high-frequency limiting shear viscosity, eta(infinity), in colloidal suspensions of rigid, uniformly porous spheres of radius a as a function of volume fraction phi and (inverse) porosity parameter x. Our study covers the complete fluid-state regime. The flow inside the spheres is modeled by the Debye-Bueche-Brinkman equation using the boundary condition that fluid velocity and...

Off-line recognition of handwritten words is a difficult task due to the high variability and uncertainty of human writing. The majority of the recent systems are constrained by the size of the lexicon to deal with and the number of writers. In this paper, we propose an approach for multi-writers Arabic handwritten words recognition. The developed method uses multiple sources of information at ...
