This talk consists of two parts. In the first, the present experimental bounds on the anomalous couplings of the gauge bosons, based mainly on the LEP and Tevatron experiments, are reviewed. In the second part, the theorem of helicity conservation (HC) is presented, which should be valid in either the Standard Model (SM) or MSSM, for any two-body process at high energies and fixed angles. The e...

In software-intensive organizations, an organizational management system will not guarantee organizational success unless the business strategy can be translated into a set of operational software goals. The Goal Question Metric (GQM) approach has proven itself useful in a variety of industrial settings to support quantitative software project management. However, it does not address linking so...

Extensive studies of the mixed lymphocyte interaction (MLI) 1 have shown it to be an immunologically specific proliferative reaction in which a large proportion of immunologically competent, predominately thymus-derived, circulating lymphocytes from nonimmunized donors recognize and respond to the presence of major histocompatibility (H) isoantigens in culture (1-7). Prior immunization of the c...

The increasing role of software for developing products and services requires that organizations align their software-related activities with high-level business goals. In practice, this alignment is very difficult and only little systematic support is available. GQM+Strategies is a method that aims at aligning organizational goals, strategies, and measurements at all levels of an organization ...

The primary purpose of this paper is to highlight for the research community and practitioners the various aspects of using VMI-type supply chains in today’s business environment as well as a number of directions for future studies. In this regard, fifty articles published in major international journals, beginning in 1995, which contribute to the VMI-type supply chains are reviewed via a syste...

this study aims to develop seismic fragility curves for a typical pile-supported wharf. fragility curve is one of the popular tools in seismic performance evaluation of a structure. the software flac2d was used to simulate the seismic performance of the wharf structure. using eight time history records, occurred in past, as seismic loading, incremental dynamic analysis (ida) was applied for sei...

With the exponential growth in speed and volume of remote sensing data, deep learning models are expected to adapt continually learn over time. Unfortunately, domain shift between multi-source data from various sensors regions poses a significant challenge. Segmentation face difficulty adapting incremental domains due catastrophic forgetting, which can be addressed via methods. However, current...

Starting from a reformulation of Cramer & Singer Multiclass Kernel Machine, we propose a Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO) like algorithm for incremental and fast optimization of the lagrangian. The proposed formulation allowed us to de ne very e ective new pattern selection strategies which lead to better empirical results.
