An analysis of 2 team-organization models when developing consumer-level shrink-wrapped software.

In the note a simple calculation of one loop threshold corrections for the SO(32) heterotic string is performed. In particular the compactification on T 2 with a Wilson line breaking the gauge group to SO(16)×SO(16) is considered. Using heterotic type I duality, these corrections can be related to quantities appearing in the quantum mechanics of type I ′ D0 particles. February 1999 1 email: gut...

In their seminal paper of 1981, Knuth and Plass described how to apply the method of discrete dynamic programming to the problem of breaking a paragraph into lines. This paper outlines how the same method can be applied to the problem of page make up, or in other words breaking paragraphs into pages. One of the key ideas is that there must be interaction between the line breaking and page break...

Horava-Witten M-Theory offers new ways in achieving the quark and lepton mass hierarchies not naturally available in supergravity unified models. In previous work, based on a torus fibered Calabi-Yau manifold with a del Pezzo base dP 7 ,a three generation SU(5)model with Wilson line breaking to the Standard Model was constructed. It was seen that if the additional 5-branes clustered near the di...

The Standard Model data suggests that the quantum gravity vacuum should accommodate two pivotal ingredients. The existence of three chiral generations and their embedding in chiral 16 SO(10) representations. The Z2 × Z2 orbifolds are examples of perturbative heterotic string vacua that yield these properties. The exploration of these models in the nonperturbative framework of M–theory is discus...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and stability of the wrap-clipping methods as a reconstructive strategy in the treatment of unclippable cerebral aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty four patients who had undergone wrap-clipping microsurgery were retrospectively reviewed. Type and morphology of the treated aneurysm, utilized technique for wrap-clip procedure, and clinical outcome with angi...

We estimate the effect of threshold corrections coming from Wilson lines to gauge coupling unification in the weakly coupled heterotic string with orbifold compactification. By expressing the corrections in terms of an effective field theory calculation we are able to estimate the minimal threshold corrections in a realistic model without constructing the full string theory. Using this we show ...
