Additional studies of the probability that the events with a superjet observed by CDF are consistent with the SM prediction
(2002)In the IV+2, 3 jet data collected by Collider Detector at Fermilab during the 1992-1995 Fermilab collider run, 13 events were observed to contain a superjet when 4.4 × 0.6 events are expected. A previous article detailed ...

Algorithmic mechanisms for reliable crowdsourcing computation under collusion
(2015)We consider a computing system where a master processor assigns a task for execution to worker processors that may collude. We model the workers' decision of whether to comply (compute the task) or not (return a bogus ...

Attraction of iodide ions by the free water surface, revealed by simulations with a polarizable force field based on drude oscillators
(2005)Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shown that polarizable anions, such as iodide and bromide, preferentially accumulate close to the surface of electrolyte solutions. This finding is in sharp contrast to the ...

Brownian-like kinematics of ball milling for particulate structural modeling
(2016)Ball milling motion has been previously studied through computationally expensive, off-line experimental video processing and numerical simulations by the discrete element method. This research establishes a more efficient ...

Conformational analysis of compstatin analogues with molecular dynamics simulations in explicit water
(2007)The cyclic 13-residue peptide compstatin is a potential therapeutic agent against the unregulated activation of the complement system. A thorough knowledge of its structural and dynamical properties in solution may assist ...

Measuring input synchrony in the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck neuronal model through input parameter estimation
(2013)We present a method of estimating the input parameters and through them, the input synchrony, of a stochastic leaky integrate-and-fire neuronal model based on the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process when it is driven by time-dependent ...

Order-restricted semiparametric inference for the power bias model
(2010)The power bias model, a generalization of length-biased sampling, is introduced and investigated in detail. In particular, attention is focused on order-restricted inference. We show that the power bias model is an example ...

Reliability Assessment of Urban Water Distribution Networks Under Seismic Loads [electronic resource]
(2013)Presented herein is a methodology for the seismic assessment of the reliability of urban water distribution networks (UWDN) based on general seismic assessment standards, as per the American Lifelines Alliance (ALA) ...

Self-assembly of an aspartate-rich sequence from the adenovirus fiber shaft: Insights from molecular dynamics simulations and experiments
(2014)The self-assembly of short peptides into fibrous nanostructures (such as fibrils and tubes) has recently become the subject of intense theoretical and experimental scrutiny, as such assemblies are promising candidates for ...
