Long-distance contributions of operators of the effective non-leptonic weak Hamiltonian containing charmed currents have been recently studied. Penguin-like contractions of these operators, denoted as charming penguins, have been shown to be relevant for several B decays into two pseudoscalar mesons. In particular, they are expected to give large enhancements to processes which would be otherwi...

This paper describes the system proposed for the Spoken Web Search task at Mediaeval 2012 campaign. We use an audio-only system based on our new called Cumulative Dynamic Time Warping (CDTW) algorithm. This algorithm combines the scores of all the alignment paths and allows for the learning of different cost functions for each kind of step in the alignment matrix (diagonal, horizontal and verti...

Background Hospitals are highly resource-dependent settings, which spend a large proportion of healthcare financial resources. The analysis of hospital efficiency can provide insight into how scarce resources are used to create health values. This study examines the Technical Efficiency (TE) of 12 teaching hospitals affiliated with Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) between 1999 and 2...
