The sensitivity of the LR 115 detector inside a diffusion chamber to (220)Rn gas concentration is dependent on the removed active layer thickness during chemical etching. This dependence is related to the V function for the LR 115 detector (where V is the ratio between the track etch velocity V(t) and the bulk etch velocity V(b)) and the geometry of the diffusion chamber. The present paper pres...

Current work targeted to predicate parametric relationship between aggregate and individual property of a protein. In this approach, we considered individual property of a protein as its Surface Roughness Index (SRI) which was shown to have potential to classify SCOP protein families. The bulk property was however considered as Intensity Level based Multi-fractal Dimension (ILMFD) of ordinary m...

In this paper we explore the minimal system requirements to implement unreliable failure detectors. We first consider systems formed by lossy asynchronous and eventually timely links. On these systems we define two properties, the Weak Property and the Strong Property, depending on whether all correct processes can be reached with links that are not lossy asynchronous from one or from all corre...

We compare the thermal variations of ESR, dc, and microwave resistivity of unoriented bulk single wall carbon nanotube samples. We conclude that the ‘‘metallic’’ high-T behavior (dr/dT. 0! is an intrinsic property of the bulk material, and that the system remains metallic even at low temperature where dr/dT, 0. The spin susceptibility is also independent of T , and a long mean free path implies...

The modern expressions for polarization P and orbital magnetization M are k-space integrals. But a genuine bulk property should also be expressible in r-space, as unambiguous function of the groundstate density matrix, “nearsighted” in insulators, independently of the boundary conditions—either periodic or open. While P—owing to its “quantum” indeterminacy—is not a bulk property in this sense, ...

A generalized likelihood-ratio test (GLRT) detector is derived for detecting a spacetime signal in the presence of unknown subspace interference and unknown target doppler. The near optimality and constant false alarm rate (CFAR) property of the GLRT is shown by the relationship to the uniformly most powerful invariant (UMPI) test using a simple approximation. Examples are presented comparing t...

Representations of branching Markov processes and their measurevalued limits in terms of countable systems of particles are constructed for models with spatially varying birth and death rates. Each particle has a location and a “level,” but unlike earlier constructions, the levels change with time. In fact, death of a particle occurs only when the level of the particle crosses a specified level...

We present the results from cosmic ray tests on the forward Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) for the CMS. Double-gap prototype RPC were built and tested in the Korea Detector Laboratory (KODEL). We found that addition of SF 6 and water vapor to the tetra#uorethane-based gas mixture was required for the long-term stable operation of RPC. E$ciency, time resolution as well as cross-talk behavior of t...
