Search for charginos nearly mass degenerate with the lightest neutralino in e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies up to 209GeV
A search for charginos nearly mass degenerate with the lightest neutralino is performed with the data collected by the ALEPH detector at LEP, at centre-of-mass energies between 189 and 209 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 628 pb-1. The analysis is based on the detection of isolated and energetic initia...

Improving Table Compression with Combinatorial Optimization
We study the problem of compressing massive tables within the partition-training paradigm introduced by Buchsbaum et al. [SODA'00], in which a table is partitioned by an off-line training procedure into disjoint intervals of columns, each of which is compressed separately by a standard, on-line compressor like gzip. We...

Discovering Planar Disorder in Close-Packed Structures from X-Ray Diffraction: Beyond the Fault Model
We solve a longstanding problem--determining structural information for disordered materials from their diffraction spectra--for the case of planar disorder in close-packed structures (CPSs). Our solution offers the most complete possible statistical description of the disorder, and, from it, we find the minimum effect...

Non-premixed Flame-Turbulence Interaction in Compressible Turbulent Flow

The most distant structure of galaxies known: a protocluster at z=4.1
Imaging and spectroscopy with the Very Large Telescope have revealed 20 Lyman-alpha emitters within a projected distance of 1.3 Mpc and 600 km/s of the luminous radio galaxy TN J1338-1942 at z=4.1. Compared to the field density of Lyman-alpha emitters, this implies an overdensity on the order of 15. The structure has a...

Simplified Onsager theory for isotropic-nematic phase equilibria of length polydisperse hard rods

Squarefree values of multivariable polynomials
Given f in Z[x_1,...,x_n], we compute the density of x in Z^n such that f(x) is squarefree, assuming the abc conjecture. Given f,g in Z[x_1,...,x_n], we compute unconditionally the density of x in Z^n such that gcd(f(x),g(x))=1. Function field analogues of both results are proved unconditionally. Finally, assuming the ...

Determinantal probability measures
Determinantal point processes have arisen in diverse settings in recent years and have been investigated intensively. We study basic combinatorial and probabilistic aspects in the discrete case. Our main results concern relationships with matroids, stochastic domination, negative association, completeness for infinite ...

Planetary Microlensing at High Magnification
Simulations of planetary microlensing at high magnification that were carried out on a cluster computer are presented. It was found that the perturbations due to two-thirds of all planets occur in the time interval [-0.5t_FWHM, 0.5t_ FWHM] with respect to the peak of the microlensing light curve, where t_FWHM is typica...

Supernova 1998bw - The final phases
The probable association with GRB 980425 immediately put SN 1998bw at the forefront of supernova research. Here, we present revised late-time BVRI light curves of the supernova, based on template images taken at the VLT. To follow the supernova to the very last observable phases we have used HST/STIS. Deep images taken...

K-matrix analysis of the (IJ^{PC}=00^{++})-wave in the mass region below 1900 MeV
We present the results of the current analysis of the partial wave IJ^{PC}=00^{++} based on the available data for meson spectra (pi-pi, K\bar K, eta-eta, eta-eta', pi-pi-pi-pi). In the framework of the K-matrix approach, the analytical amplitude has been restored in the mass region 280 MeV< \sqrt s <1900 MeV. The foll...

PALP: A Package for Analyzing Lattice Polytopes with Applications to Toric Geometry
We describe our package PALP of C programs for calculations with lattice polytopes and applications to toric geometry, which is freely available on the internet. It contains routines for vertex and facet enumeration, computation of incidences and symmetries, as well as completion of the set of lattice points in the con...

SCUBA observations of galaxies with metallicity measurements: a new method for determining the relation between submm luminosity and dust mass
Using a new technique we have determined a value for the constant of proportionality between submillimetre emission and dust mass, the dust mass absorption coefficient at 850 microns. Our method has an advantage over previous methods in that we avoid assumptions about the properties of dust in the interstellar medium. ...

The spread of epidemic disease on networks
The study of social networks, and in particular the spread of disease on networks, has attracted considerable recent attention in the physics community. In this paper, we show that a large class of standard epidemiological models, the so-called susceptible/infective/removed (SIR) models can be solved exactly on a wide ...

Runaway dilaton and equivalence principle violations
In a recently proposed scenario, where the dilaton decouples while cosmologically attracted towards infinite bare string coupling, its residual interactions can be related to the amplitude of density fluctuations generated during inflation, and are large enough to be detectable through a modest improvement on present t...

The asymptotic complexity of partial sorting -- How to learn large posets by pairwise comparisons
The expected number of pairwise comparisons needed to learn a partial order on n elements is shown to be at least n*n/4-o(n*n), and an algorithm is given that needs only n*n/4+o(n*n) comparisons on average. In addition, the optimal strategy for learning a poset with four elements is presented.

The DEEP Groth Strip Survey II. Hubble Space Telescope Structural Parameters of Galaxies in the Groth Strip
The quantitative morphological classification of distant galaxies is essential to the understanding of the evolution of galaxies over the history of the Universe. This paper presents Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 F606W and F814W photometric structural parameters for 7450 galaxies in the ``Groth Strip.'' These parameters...

The Kinematics and Metallicity of the M31 Globular Cluster System
With the ultimate aim of distinguishing between various models describing the formation of galaxy halos (e.g. radial or multi-phase collapse, random mergers), we have completed a spectroscopic study of the globular cluster system of M31. We present the results of deep, intermediate-resolution, fibre-optic spectroscopy ...

A Theory of Non_Gaussian Option Pricing
Option pricing formulas are derived from a non-Gaussian model of stock returns. Fluctuations are assumed to evolve according to a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation which maximizes the Tsallis nonextensive entropy of index $q$. A generalized form of the Black-Scholes differential equation is found, and we derive a martin...
