the hadronic final state is static in the center of mass frame but it is perhaps less advantageous for processes in which the hadron momentum in the final state is non-negligible compared to its mass. In such cases, independent fine spatial directions for each momentum degree of freedom are needed to describe

We improve on previous recommender systems by taking advantage of the layered structure of software. We use a random-walk approach, mimicking the more focused behavior of a developer, who browses the caller-callee links in the callgraph of a large program, seeking routines that are likely

Database systems have been vital in all forms of data processing for a long time. In recent years, the amount of processed data has been growing dramatically, even in small projects. Nevertheless, database management systems tend to be static in terms of size and perfor-mance which makes scaling a

Abstract The Janzen-Connell escape hypothesis pre-dicts that the success of tree propagules increases with distance from the parent tree. Fleshy fruits that are trans-ported in the guts of frugivores are believed to have evolved to facilitate the wide dispersal of seeds. Howev-er, some frugivores

types of queries. Based on the observation that most queries are not revised dramatically during the iter-ative evaluation, the proposed technique reuses the results of previous queries to reduce the computation cost. Fur-thermore, this technique takes advantage of a tuned index structure to e

-temperature thermal state of the system. Motivated by the quantum annealing method, we present three strategies to pre-pare the low-temperature state that exploit quantum mechanics in re-markable ways. We focus on implementations without uncontrolled er-rors induced by the environment. This allows us to rigorously

Recommender systems can help programmers by finding functions that are closely related to a function of interest. We improve on previous recommenders by taking advantage of the layered structure of software, discovering the functions that share a caller or a callee with the query function. Further

of data at rest, with dramatic performance improvements. Our solution has the following advantages: we only sort a constant number of values (a few thousand); we give accurate counts when there is a small number of distinct values; we return approximate counts when there is a large number of distinct

The inclusion of the Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) driver in Linux 2.6.20 has dramatically improved Linux’s ability to act as a hypervisor. Previously, Linux was only capable of running UML guests and contain-ers. KVM adds support for running unmodified x86 operating systems using hardware

mitosis, nuclear lamina disassembly is promoted by phosphorylation of B-type lamins. AKAP149, an ER and nuclear membrane protein, was shown to target PP1 (via an RVXF motif) to dephosphorylate B-type lamins at telophase, enabling their polymerization and thus lamina reassembly. A short peptide from AKAP
