Until relatively recently cluster studies have been confined to the region encompassing the line of beta stability. As clustering is expected to manifest itself most strongly near thresholds, exotic structures might be expected to form in the more weakly bound systems found in the vicinity of the driplines. Perhaps the most striking example of this are the halo nuclei. In the present paper two ...

This paper reviews the available information on the central density distribution and shape of the Milky Way’s halo. At present, there is no strong evidence that the Milky Way’s halo properties conflict with the predictions of cold dark matter (CDM): a primordial central power law cusp can be accommodated by the observations, and the current constraints on flattening are also consistent with the...

Galactic halo neutralinos (χ) captured by the Sun or Earth produce high-energy neutrinos as end-products of various annihilation modes. These neutrinos can travel from the Sun or Earth cores to the neighborhood of underground detectors (“neutrino telescopes”) where they can interact and produce upwardly-moving muons. We compute these muon fluxes in the context of the minimal SU(5) supergravity ...

Drossopoulou and Noble [6] argue persuasively for the need for a means to express policy in object-capabilitybased systems. We investigate a practical means to realize their aim via the Curry-Howard isomorphism [1] [13]. Specifically, we investigate representing policy as types in a behavioral type system for the rho-calculus [15], a reflective higher-order variant of the π-calculus [18].

One h u n d re d seven ty y e a rs after Father Basil Moreau found­ ed the Congregation of Holy Cross in Le Mans, France, Notre Dame students, faculty and administra­ tors will travel to the site to cele­ brate his beatification for three days of ceremonies to celebrate Moreau’s life, beginning Friday. Father Richard Warner, direc­ tor of campus ministry at Notre Dame, described the importance ...

N -body simulations predict that CDM halo-assembly occurs in two phases: 1) a rapid accretion phase dominated by major mergers with a rapidly deepening potential well; and 2) a slow accretion phase characterised by a gentle addition of mass to the outer halo with little change in the inner potential well. We demonstrate, using onedimensional simulations, that this two-phase accretion leads to C...

The simplest interpretation of the microlensing events observed towards the Large Magellanic Clouds is that approximately half of the mass of the Milky Way halo is in the form of MAssive Compact Halo Objects with M ∼ 0.5M⊙. It is not possible, due to limits from star counts and chemical abundance arguments, for faint stars or white dwarves to comprise such a large fraction of the halo mass. Thi...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. PURPOSE First, to examine the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and the halo phenomenon, and second, to investigate risk factors predisposing to the halo phenomenon and its correlation with clinical outcomes. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE The few in vivo studies regarding the relationship between pedicle screw stability and BMD have shown conflicting ...
