A brief report on the goals and progress of the SLAC Linear Collider program is presented. Included are the status of the machine and detectors, and an overview of the physics program. Invited talk presented at the Aspen Winter Physics Conference Aspen, Colorado, January 13-19, 1985 * Work supported by the Department of Energy, contract DE-ACOS76SF00515.

The Bayesian approach is a promising method for modelbased signal analysis. It was previously used on detected radar images for model based despeckling and feature extraction. We propose an extension on Single Look Complex (SLC) High Resolution (HR) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. The information contained in the phase is reflected in the second order statistics and it is important for t...

Normal and E1A-immortalized rat fetal intestinal epithelial SLC-11 cells were compared for the characteristics of the 35S-labeled proteoglycans isolated from their cell-associated and secreted fractions. In comparison with control cells in primary culture, immortalized SLC-11 cells: (a) secreted larger amounts of radiolabeled proteoglycans; (b) contained larger amounts of membrane-intercalated ...

At the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC), the interactionpoint spot size is minimized by repeatedly correcting, for both beams, various low-order optical aberrations, such as dispersion, waist position or coupling. These corrections are performed about every 8 hours, by minimizing the IP spot size while exciting different orthogonal combinations of final-focus magnets. The spot size itself is dete...

Spoken language conversion (SLC) aims to generate utterances in the voice of a speaker but in a language unknown to them, using speech synthesis systems and speech processing techniques. Previous approaches to SLC have been based on cross-language voice conversion (VC), which has underlying assumptions that ignore phonetic and phonological differences between languages, leading to a reduction i...

Linear colliders, such as the SLC, are among those accelerators for which a high-yield positron source operating at the repetition rate of the accelerator is desired. The SLC, having electron energies up to 50 GeV, presents the possibility of generating positron bunches with useful charge even exceeding that of the initial electron bunch. The exact positron yield to be obtained depends on the p...

Reduced expression of the Indy (I'm Not Dead Yet) gene in D. melanogaster and C. elegans extends longevity. Indy and its mammalian homolog mINDY (Slc 3a5, NaCT) are transporters of TCA cycle intermediates, mainly handling the uptake of citrate via the plasma membrane into the cytosol. Deletion of mINDY in mice leads to significant metabolic changes akin to caloric restriction, likely caused by ...

In this paper, we develop a control algorithm to generate entanglement in a quantum system with uncertainties. The system under consideration is an uncertain system of two twolevel atoms interacting with each other through a dipole-dipole interaction. The sampling-based learning control (SLC) strategy is employed to find a control law. An SLC strategy contains two steps of training and evaluati...

To reduce the performance and lifespan loss caused by the partial-stripe writes in SSD RAIDs, we propose two schemes: parity-stream separation and SLC/MLC convertible programming. Parity-stream separation splits the parity block stream from the data block stream to decrease valid page copy during garbage collection. In the convertible programming scheme, the flash memory blocks that are allocat...

Secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine (SLC), which is expressed in T cell zones of secondary lymphoid organs, including the spleen and lymph nodes, strongly recruits both T lymphocytes and mature dendritic cells. As appropriate interaction of tumor-specific T cells and mature dendritic cells, equipped with tumor antigens, is a prerequisite for effective T cell immunity against established tumors,...
