The nested transaction model was introduced to satisfy the requirements of advanced database applications. Moreover, it is currently the basic transaction model for new databases like workflow systems, mobile databases, and objectrelational databases. Though there are several performance evaluation studies of different concurrency control mechanisms in nested transactions, effects of transactio...

The use of well-nested linear context-free rewriting systems has been empirically motivated for modeling of the syntax of languages with discontinuous constituents or relatively free word order. We present a chart-based parsing algorithm that asymptotically improves the known running time upper bound for this class of rewriting systems. Our result is obtained through a linear space construction...

In this paper we determine the spectrum for octagon quadrangle systems [OQS] which can be partitioned into two strongly balanced 4-kitedesigns.

We use existing measurements of D − → K * 0 ρ − and B → ψ + K * , coupled with flavor independence of QCD, and with vector meson dominance to show that long distance contributions to B → ρ + γ are potentially very serious. We note that long distance (LD) contributions can be appreciably different in B − → ρ − + γ and B 0 → ρ 0 (ω) + γ. All radiative decays of B, B S are shown to be governed ess...

The current status of the experimental measurements and theoretical predictions of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon aμ is briefly reviewed. The emphasis is put on the evaluation of the hadronic contribution to aμ as it has the largest uncertainty among all Standard Model contributions. The precision of the hadronic contribution is driven by the input e+e− data predominantly from the π+...

State diagrams (stategraphs) are suitable for describing the behavior of dynamic systems. However, when they are used to model large and complex systems, determining the states and transitions among them can be overwhelming, due to their flat, unstratified structure. In this article, we present the use of statecharts as a novel way of modeling complex gene networks. Statecharts extend conventio...

In this paper we study the implications of the recent high precision measurement of (g−2)μ by BNL [1] on new heavy physics beyond the SM. The effect of two d=6 operators on the anomalous magnetic momment of the muon is considered and the new physics contribution to aμ reported by BNL has been used to put bounds on the scale associated with these operators.
