We present a preliminary search for D-D mixing using the decays D → Kππ, additionally presenting Dalitz-plot distributions and a measurement of the branching ratio for this mode. A new tagging technique is used to produce the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed Dalitz plot, which in turn is used to motivate the method used for the D-mixing search. We analyze 230.4 fb of data collected from the BABAR dete...

When creating interactive drama computer games then it is frequently useful to be able to generate a plot to use as a background for the drama and to use as a knowledge base for Non-Player Characters. In this article a new engine is proposed that dynamically creates new game plots for a murder mystery based game. The game engine uses Bayesian networks to create a new plot based on a probability...

We propose to model breast tissue in mammograms covering both density and tissue patterns. The breast tissue density modelling is based on the global density distribution of the breast region. We segment the whole breast region into a number of uniform density sub-regions and construct an overall density model of the breast using the relative proportions of these sub-regions. The breast tissue ...

This research work aims to raise awareness of the results of the student engagement in university students of three careers in technologies, of a university in the south of Mexico, through the development of graphics that allows displaying in an adequate manner the cases under study, facilitating the interpretation of the same. To measure the student engagement was used the instrument Utrecht W...

Polymer coated gas-phase sensors using the classical Rayleigh-type surface acoustic wave (RSAW) mode showed higher sensitivity and larger dynamic range compared to bulk acoustic wave (BAW) sensors, being widely used in a variety of sensor systems for chemical and biological gas detection. Using Comsol Multiphysics software, we investigated a 2D finite element model of a Surface Acoustic Wave (S...

In this work, we report the simultaneous determination of cadmium and lead using glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) modified by poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) for linear sweep anodic stripping voltammetry (LSASV). The modification allows metal detection without involving oxygen removal, mechanical stirring and introduction of alloying additions such as Hg, Bi, Sb, etc. during the pre-conc...

We propose an alternative method of conducting exploratory latent class analysis that utilizes latent class factor models, and compare it to the more traditional approach based on latent class cluster models. We show that when formulated in terms of R mutually independent, dichotomous latent factors, the LC factor model has the same number of distinct parameters as an LC cluster model with R+1 ...

PURPOSE Although many models have been proposed to interpret non-Gaussian diffusion MRI data in biological tissues, it is often difficult to see the correlation between the MRI data and the histological changes in the tissue. Among these models, so called statistical models, which assume the diffusion coefficient D is distributed continuously within a voxel, are more suitable for interpreting t...

TOFu. Note that venous flow is evident in TOFu due to insufficient TSat application with the current 1-per-shot scheme. Figure 1: ky-kz plot of a variable density spiral phyllotaxis trajectory for the representative TOFu imaging slab, with net acceleration factor 3.8, 21 shots and 94 segments per shot. The blue dots represent acquired points on a regular Cartesian grid, while the green dots sho...
