The W boson can obtain a small right-handed coupling to quarks and leptons through mixing with a hypothetical W^{'} boson that appears in many extensions of the standard model. Measuring or even bounding this coupling to the light quarks is very challenging. Only one model independent bound on the absolute value of the complex mixing parameter has been obtained to date. Here we discuss a method...

Microwave processing is emerging as an innovative and highly effective material processing method offering many advantages over conventional methods, especially for sintering applications. It is recognized for its various advantages, such as: time and energy saving, rapid heating rates, considerably reduced processing cycle time and temperature, fine microstructures and improved mechanical prop...

First published October 22, 2009; doi:10.1152/ajpgi.00266.2009.—To address the controversy surrounding the role of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in nitrergic neurotransmission to gastrointestinal smooth mus...

This paper presents a verification strategy for the hardware-software interface of a large ATM switch. The complexity of such a system and the requirements are discussed. A modeling strategy based on software emulation is presented which will allow for the functional verification of the interface prior to lab samples being available, resulting in reduced system integration times.

CoTiO3-clay nano-composites were synthesized via a conventional sol-gel method; the gel was calcinated at 500 - 800°C for 2 hours. The presence of rhombohedra phase of CoTiO3 in clay matrix was confirmed by XRD, FTIR, SEM. Cobalt titanate-clay nano-composites were prepared with 5-20%(w/w) by sol-gel method. The spectra results were investigated at 20% (w/w) concentration .The optimum condition ...

We study the observability of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson at an upgraded Fermilab Tevatron via the mode h ! W W . We perform detector level simulations for the gg ! h ! W W ! ` ̀ and q q ! W h ! W W W ! ` ` jj channels. We nd that with a c. m. energy of 2 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 30 fb 1 the signal should be observable at a 3 level or better for the mass range of 145 GeV < mh < ...
