Current design and fabrication techniques of hybrid devices are explained for the Drift Chamber and the Liquid Ar-pon Calorimeter for the Stanford Linear Collider Large Detector (SLD) at SLAC. Methods of developing layouts, raging from hand-cut templates to advanced designs utilizing CAD tools with special hybrid design software were applied. Physical and electrical design rules for good yield ...

We introduce a fibrational semantics for many-valued logic programming, use it to define an SLD-resolution for annotation-free many valued logic programs as defined by Fitting, and prove a soundness and completeness result relating the two. We show that fibrational se­ mantics corresponds with the traditional declarative (ground) semantics and deduce a soundness and completeness result for our ...

Based on a sample of approximately 500,000 hadronic Z 0 decays accumulated between 1993 and 1998, the SLD experiment has set limits on 24 fully charged two-body and quasi two-body exclusive charmless hadronic decays of B + , B 0 , and B 0 s mesons. The precise tracking capabilities of the SLD detector provided for the efficient reduction of combinatoric backgrounds, yielding the most precise av...

The SLAC Linear Collider (SLC) has begun a new era of operation with the SLD detector. During 1991 there was a first engineering run for the SLD in parallel with machine impravements to increase luminosity and reliability. For the 1992 run; a polarized electron source was added and more than 10,OOOZ~with an average of 23% polarization have been logged by the SLD. This paper will discuss the per...

Newly reported normalized cumulant moments of charged particles in ee collisions by the SLD collaboration are analyzed by the truncated modified negative binomial distribution (MNBD) and the negative binomial distribution (NBD). Calculated result by the MNBD describes the oscillatory behavior of the data much better than that by the NBD. PACS number(s): 13.65.+i, 34.10.+x Normalized cumulant mo...

When the United States Congress passed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act in 2004 (IDEIA 2004), local educational agencies (LEA) were permitted to use a Response-to-Intervention (RTI) approach for identifying children with possible learning disabilities for special education. Furthermore, IDEIA 2004 no longer required LEAs to establish an IQ-achievement discrepancy for ...

Sex-linked dwarf (SLD) chickens have been widely used in cross breeding of broilers and laying hens. To study the molecular mechanisms underlying growth hormone receptor (GHR) in SLD chickens, the expression profiles of GHR were measured in three growth related tissues (liver, breast, and thigh) in male and female S2 SLD chickens at seven growth stages (1 day, 3 weeks, 7 weeks, 9 weeks, 11 week...

Structural resolution (or S-resolution) is a newly proposed alternative to SLD-resolution that allows a systematic separation of derivations into term-matching and unification steps. Productive logic programs are those for which term-matching reduction on any query must terminate. For productive programs with coinductive meaning, finite term-rewriting reductions can be seen as measures of obser...

SLG is a table-oriented resolution method that combines the deduc-tive database and logic programming paradigms. SLG is applicable to de-ductive databases since it terminates and has polynomial data complexity for programs with nite models. In terms of the logic programming (and non-monotonic) paradigms, SLG computes the well-founded model for non-stratiied programs, and has been extended to co...

SLG is a table-oriented resolution method that has the ability to combine the deductive database and logic programming paradigms. As an example of its applicability to deductive databases, SLG terminates and has polynomial data complexity for programs with nite models. In terms of the logic programming (and non-monotonic) paradigms, SLG computes the well-founded model for non-stratiied programs...
