With the arrival of km3 volume scale neutrino detectors the chances to detect the first astronomical sources of TeV neutrinos will be dramatically increased. While the theoretical estimates of the neutrino fluxes contain large uncertainties, we can formulate the conditions for the detectability of certain neutrino sources phenomenologically. In fact, since most galactic neutrino sources are tra...

In this paper we study homogenization of quasi-linear partial differential equations of the form −div (a (x, x/εh, Duh)) = fh on Ω with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here the sequence (εh) tends to 0 as h → ∞ and the map a (x, y, ξ) is periodic in y, monotone in ξ and satisfies suitable continuity conditions. We prove that uh → u weakly in W 1,p 0 (Ω) as h → ∞, where u is the solution of a hom...

We prove that a certain sequence of tau functions of the Garnier system satisfies Toda equation. We construct a class of algebraic solutions of the system by the use of Toda equation; then show that the associated tau functions are expressed in terms of the universal character, which is a generalization of Schur polynomial attached to a pair of partitions. This article is based on the results i...

Economy of blood is always desirable provided the determination gives the required accuracy. Children’s veins are difficult to puncture; in infants the longitudinal sinus must be used to obtain a reasonable quantity of blood without stasis. Small quantities, 1 to 2 cc., can be obtained from the heel by Drucker and Cullen’s method (1). In small animals, such as the rat, it is necessary to utiliz...

Chicago, Illinois " Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will rule, and when they rule, they will rest. " The Gospel of Thomas 2:1-4 iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My deepest gratitude goes to my advisor Prof. Arye Nehorai for his permanent support, his excellent guidance, and patience during my graduate studies.

Introduction raised to 8.0. The results obtained are tabulated in Table I1 and indicate that the purity drop was 0.9 The first Part of this Paper deals with the reduction less than for the same period in the first experiment, of sucrose losses in the clarifier during hours of when the temperature was not lowered nor the pH stoppage. The second part describes experiments raised. carried out to p...

If Alice attempts to communicate a single bit to Bob over a noisy classical channel, the oneshot success probability is the probability that Bob correctly receives this bit. It has recently been shown that the one-shot success probability can be increased if Alice and Bob share non-signaling correlations or entanglement. We investigate the limitations of this assistance. We provide tight upper ...

Nitin Telang, Ph.D (Reviewer 1): Overall, the manuscript is reasonably well written and contains good data on anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of Quercetin on Y79 retinoblastoma cell line. The study outcome provides convincing evidence for the involvement of the JNK and p38MAPK pathways in growth inhibitory efficacy. However, the following points need to be considered and appropriat...

We investigated rice husk as the sole carbon source as well as biofilm carrier in the biological denitrification of wastewater in up-flow laboratory reactors. Fast startup of the reactor and high nitrate removal efficiency was observed. The highest denitrification rate (about 0.096kg/m·d) was achieved when flow rate and nitrate concentration were 41.4L/d and 25.0mg/L, respectively. Flow rate an...
