This report summarizes progress on Washington University’s Terabit Burst Switching Project, supported by DARPA and Rome Air Force Laboratory. This project seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of Burst Switching, a new data communication service which can more effectively exploit the large bandwidths becoming available in WDM transmission systems, than conventional communication technologies lik...

The QCD analysis of the CCFR data for xF 3 : higher twists and α s (M Z) extractions at the NNLO and beyond Abstract The improved next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD analysis of the experimental data of the CCFR collaboration for the xF 3 structure function is made. Theoretical ambiguities of the NNLO fits are estimated by means of the Padé re-summation technique, which was applied both in...

In this study, 217 edible nut samples have been investigated regarding Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). S. aureus was isolated in 26 (11.98%) samples, whereas CNS were isolated in 98 (45.16%) samples. Number of samples for different isolated CNS species was as follows: S. arlettae 19 (8.76%), S. saprophyticus 14 (6.45%), S. xylosus 12 (5.53%), S. epidermis 11 (5...

We generalize to stochastic dynamics the exact expression for average dissipation along an arbitrary non-equilibrium process, given in Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 080602 (2007). We then derive lower bounds by various coarse-graining procedures and illustrate how, when and where the information on the dissipation is captured in models of overand underdamped Brownian particles. PACS numbers: 05.70.Ln, 0...

We compute the magnetic susceptibility and specific heat of the spin1 2 Heisenberg model on the kagome lattice with high-temperature expansions and exact diagonalizations. We compare the results with the experimental data on ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2 obtained by Helton et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 107204 (2007)]. Down to kBT/J ' 0.2, our calculations reproduce accurately the experimental susceptibility, wi...

We study the effective spacetimes in lower dimensions that can be extracted from a multidimensional generalization of the Schwarzschild-Tangherlini spacetimes derived by Fadeev, Ivashchuk and Melnikov (Phys. Lett, A 161 (1991) 98). The higher-dimensional spacetime has D = (4 + n + m) dimensions, where n and m are the number of “internal” and “external” extra dimensions, respectively. We analyze...

We present cross-national analyses – both cross-sectional and longitudinal – estimating the vote shares for approximately 80 parties across Western Europe from 1984 to 1998. The results indicate that parties’ vote shares increase with their proximity to the centre of the voter distribution, although the effects are relatively small. These findings corroborate the theoretical results reported by...
