We propose a set of measurements at a charm factory to determine the D– D 0 mixing parameters ∆M and ∆Γ and the strong phase difference δ between doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed (DCS) and Cabibbo-favored (CF) neutral D decays into Kπ. The method can also be used to measure strong phase differences between other corresponding DCS and CF amplitudes. These phase differences are important for studies of ...

(Abstract) Counting the number of paths in a graph, for example the number of nonintersecting (or self-avoiding) rook paths joining opposite corners of an n × n grid, is not an easy problem since no mathematical formula is found and the number becomes too large to enumerate one by one except for small graphs. We have implemented software based on the ZDD technique in Knuth's " The Art of Comput...

The shelving phenomenon of quantum optics, originally observed by Dehmelt, is analyzed in terms of the nRules that are given in another paper. The heuristic value of these rules is apparent because they reveal the mechanism that enforces the suppression of fluorescence during the dark period associated with shelving.

To explore the function of light-harvesting complex protein (LHCP) in Arabidopsis growth and development, the Leclere and Bartel seed collection was screened. In this collection randomly cloned cDNAs are expressed under the CaMV35S promoter. A pale green line has been identified and characterized in more details. Analysis of the inserted cDNA in the pale green line showed it encodes LHCB1 prote...
