representing the CDF and D0 collaborations ABSTRACT The Tevatron Run-II program has been in progress since 2001, and the CDF and D0 experiments have been operational with upgraded detectors. Coupled with recent improvements in the Tevatron accelerator performance, the experiments have started producing important physics results and measurements. We report these measurements as well as prospects...

This paper presents an investigation of approaches to modeling lower and upper subjective probabilities. A relatively unexplored approach is introduced, based on the fact that every cumulative distribution function (CDF) with support (0,1) has a “dual” CDF that obeys the conjugacy relation between coherent lower and upper probabilities. A new 2-parameter family of “CDF-Quantile” distributions w...

OBJECTIVE Little is known about persistence of or recovery from chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) in adolescents. Previous studies have small sample sizes, short follow-up or have focused on fatigue rather than CFS/ME or, equivalently, chronic fatigue, which is disabling. This work aimed to describe the epidemiology and natural course of CFS/ME in adolescents aged 13-1...

CD44 Expressing Stem-Like Pancreatic Cancer Cells P. Kesharwani, H. O. Alsaab, S. Padhye, F. H. Sarkar, A. K. Iyer Wayne State University, Pune University Purpose Cancer stem-like cells (CSLCs) play a critical role in acquiring multidrug resistant (MDR) phenotypes. It has been well established that pancreatic cancer stem cells overexpress CD44 receptors (a target of hyaluronic acid; HA). We thu...

—A frequent problem in digital communications is the computation of the probability density function (pdf) and cumulative distribution function (cdf), given the characteristic function (chf) of a random variable (RV). This problem arises in signal detection , equalizer performance, equal-gain diversity combining, in-tersymbol interference, and elsewhere. Often, it is impossible to analytically ...

Envelope realizations: (a) the realized envelopes from 0-400 seconds with the estimated and true transition points, (b) the local mean of the envelope realizations in (a), and (c) the local entropy of the envelope realizations in (a). Details of the 40-60 seconds are shown in (d)(e) vi Figure 2.4. (a) Feature representations of the segments from the simulation. (b) The elbow phenome...

Spontaneous choledochoduodenal fistulas (CDFs) are rare. The most common aetiology is penetrating duodenal ulcers, observed in 80% of cases. Even in areas where acid peptic disease is common, tuberculosis should be considered as a cause, especially in developing countries like India, where tuberculosis is common. The management of CDF due to acid peptic disease is predominantly surgical while h...

CDF detector measures the particles produced in proton – anti proton collisions at the Tevatron operating at s = 1.96 TeV The are two experiments at the Tevatron and this paper will describe the grid computing for CDF. The CDF detector is comprised of a tracking system located closest to the collision point inside of a solenoid magnet. Outside of the solenoid magnet, calorimeter detectors used ...
