This review illustrates by means of sample reactions the potential of a future global e+e− Linear Collider (LC) for precision measurements of Supersymmetric particles with emphasis on recent studies and addressing major research directions. Presented at SUSY 2003: Supersymmetry in the Desert , held at the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, June 5-10, 2003. To appear in the Proceedings. EXPLORIN...

the lut block (eastern iran) extends over 900 km in a north-south direction and is only 200 km wide in an east-west direction. it is confined by the nayband fault and shotori range on the west. the eastern edge is bordered by the sistan suture zone and nehbandan fault. the northern termination of lut block is the depression of kavir-e-namak and the great kavir fault. the makran arc, including t...

We model the behavior of agents who, in competitive situations, care about receiving their “just deserts”, i.e., what they feel they deserve. In particular we analyze the strategic behavior of two identical desert-motivated agents in a rank-order tournament. Each agent is assumed to be loss averse about an endogenous and meritocratically determined reference point that represents her perceived ...

a r t i c l e i n f o Deserts are often neglected in what concerns conservation funding. Ecotourism, an alternative land-use with ability to preserve threatened biodiversity, is also less developed in these arid lands. Since ecotourism can constitute a complementary approach to natural and cultural resources and to local economy development, more investment should be allocated to desert ecotour...

Job challenges the theological milieu of retributive justice prevalent in NearEastern society by daring to ask the veritable question: can people deserve? This article examines the theories of desert, agency, and righteousness embedded within the Job manuscript. Bracketing the question of theodicy, this study utilizes contemporary philosophical, theological and exegetical considerations to exam...

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of "Paramesorhizobium deserti" A-3-E(T), a strain isolated from the Taklimakan Desert of Xinjiang, China, which is resistant to multiple β-lactam antibiotics and other antibiotics (kanamycin, erythromycin, streptomycin, etc.) as well.
