We apply the theoretical results of Part I to linear multivariate problems LMP equipped with the folded Wiener sheet measure. We are particularly interested in multivariate weighted integration and multivariate function approximation. We prove that any LMP which satisses (A.1) of Part I is tractable and its exponent is at most 2. We show that optimal or nearly optimal sample points can be deriv...

I review the various methods for taking account of finite quark masses in DIS and related processes. I pay particular attention to the so-called variable flavour number schemes (VFNS) which are designed to extrapolate smoothly from the region near threshold of production of heavy quark pairs to the region where the quarks become effectively massless. Plenary talk given at 3rd UK Phenomenology W...

We summarize the experimental and theoretical results presented in the " Physics at the Highest Q 2 and p 2 t " working group at the DIS 2000 Workshop. High Q 2 and p 2 t processes measured at current and future colliders allow to improve our knowledge of Standard Model (SM) physics, by providing precise measurements of the SM parameters and, consequently, consistency checks of the SM. Moreover...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Explore characteristics of nonrestorative sleep (NRS) in prospectively defined subgroups of individuals with NRS symptoms, investigate whether NRS can occur independently of difficulties initiating and maintaining sleep (DIS/DMS), and determine its effect on waking function. DESIGN Cross-sectional and longitudinal population-based study comparing patterns of daytime symptoms,...

A personal selection is made of some of the hot topics debated at this conference, including examples of using our knowledge of QCD to make electroweak measurements, structure functions at low x in the light of the corrections to the leading BFKL behaviour recently calculated, diffraction, the existence of one or more Pomerons and whether it/they may have a well-defined structure function, some...

We calculate the cross section for q ¯ qg-production in diffractive DIS with finite fermion masses and zero momentum transfer. The calculation is done in the leading log(1/x P) approximation and is valid for the region of high diffractive masses (small β). We apply our cross section formula to diffractive charm production at HERA: in a Monte-Carlo-Simulation of diffractive D * ± meson productio...

Web based instruction is growing at an incredible rate. Teachers, instructors, trainers and several others are putting their instructional content online. The format, style and media types vary from instructor to instructor. In essence web based instruction is being done by an unknown number of people in an unknown number ways using different media types and platforms. In this paper, an instruc...

We use the techniques of Karchmer and Widgerson KW90] to derive strong lower bounds on the expected parallel time to compute boolean functions by circuits. By average time, we mean the time needed on a self-timed circuit, a model introduced recently by Jakoby, Reischuk, and Schindelhauer, JRS94] in which gates compute their output as soon as it is determined (possibly by a subset of the inputs ...
