The equations of state of spin-polarized nuclear matter and pure neutron matter are studied in the framework of the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory including a three-body force. The energy per nucleon EA(δ) calculated in the full range of spin polarization δ = ρ↑−ρ↓ ρ for symmetric nuclear matter and pure neutron matter fulfills a parabolic law. In both cases the spin-symmetry energy is calculate...

A coupled-channel (CC) approach has been developed to investigate kaon photoproduction on the nucleon. In addition to direct K+Λ production, our CC approach accounts for strangeness production including K+Λ final state interactions with both π0p and π+n intermediate states. Calculations for the γp → K+Λ reaction have been performed, and compared with the recent data from SAPHIR, with emphasis o...

XSLT is an increasingly popular language for processing XML data. It is widely supported by application platform software. However, little optimization effort has been made inside the current XSLT processing engines. Evaluating a very simple XSLT program on a large XML document with a simple schema may result in extensive usage of memory. In this paper, we present a novel notion of Streaming Pr...

For future configurations, we study the relation between the abatement of the noise sources and the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for coalescing binaries. Our aim is not the proposition of a new design, but an indication to where in the bandwidth or for which noise source, a noise reduction would be most efficient. We take VIRGO as reference for our considerations. It is identified that i) the re...
