A search for single top quark production is performed in e(+/-) pcollisions at HERA. The search exploits data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 118.3 pb(-1). A model for the anomalous production of top quarks in a flavour changing neutral current process involving a tugamma coupling is investigated. Decays of top quarks into a b quark and a W boson are considered in the leptonic and the

The increased demand for clean power in recent years has led to the development of various processes that include different types of CO2 capture. Several options are possible: pre-combustion concepts (fuel de-carbonization and subsequent combustion of H2), post-combustion concepts (tail-end CO2 capture solutions, such as amine scrubbing), and integrated concepts in which combustion is carried out
The potential of algal–bacterial microcosms was studied for the biodegradation of salicylate, phenol and phenanthrene. The isolation and characterization of aerobic bacterial strains capable of mineralizing each pollutant were first conducted. Ralstonia basilensis was isolated for salicylate degradation, Acinetobacter haemolyticus for phenol and Pseudomonas migulae and Sphingomonas yanoikuyae for
Searches for resonant (ν) over tilde production in e(+)e(-) collisions under the assumption that R-parity is not conserved and that the dominant R-parity violating coupling is lambda(121) or lambda(131) used data recorded by DELPHI in 1997 to 2000 at centre-of-mass energies of 183 to 208 GeV. No deviation from the Standard Model was observed. Upper limits are given for the lambda(121) and lambda(1
In this paper, enhancement of the signal root estimation of a particular kind of real-valued two-dimensional (2-D) sinusoidal modes is considered. To its constitution, each mode corresponds to the superposition of two real-valued plane waves in a particular symmetry. The concept of partial forward-backward averaging, which is applicable for modes that are undamped in at least one dimension, is int
The Davies transformation is a method to transform the steering vector of a uniform circular array (UCA) to one with Vandermonde form. As such, it allows techniques such as spatial smoothing for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in a correlated signal environment, developed originally for uniform linear arrays, to be applied to UCAs. However, the Davies transformation can be highly sensitive t
Successful development of software systems depends on the quality of the requirements engineering process. Use cases and scenarios are promising vehicles for eliciting, specifying and validating requirements. This thesis investigates the role of use case modelling in requirements engineering and its relation to system verification and validation. The thesis includes studies of concepts and represe
Motivation: Pre-processing of SELDI-TOF mass spectrometry data is currently performed on a largel y ad hoc basis. This makes comparison of results from independent analyses troublesome and does not provide a framework for distinguishing different sources of variation in data. Results: In this article, we consider the task of pooling a large number of single-shot spectra, a task commonly performed

Aim. The aim of this study was to evaluate umbilical artery (UA) and uterine artery (Ut.A) Doppler velocimetry in a low-risk pregnancy group with decreased fetal movements. Material and methods. Eight hundred and eighty-eight women were examined because of decreased fetal movements. All fetuses were alive on maternal admission. In all cases, UA and Ut.A Doppler velocimetries were performed, as wel
A simple model is presented which interpolates between the DGLAP and BFKL regimes in deep inelastic cp scattering. This model is based on the CCFM and LDC models, and it is simple enough to provide an intuitive picture of the transition region between the two domains. Results are presented for both fixed and running coupling; for fixed coupling the transition between the domains occurs at a consta
This paper describes a flexible and modular 9-degrees-of-freedomnonlinear dynamic handling model for a tractor-semitrailer combinationvehicle. The equations of motion are derived from the fundamentalequations of dynamics in Euler's formulation. The primary aim of themodel is simulations of handling scenarios with active yaw control,using unilateral braking and possibly tractor rear wheel steering.
We use Stein's method in combination with notions from graph theory to obtain Berry-Esseen and central limit theorems for generalized serial rank statistics.
