The DELPHI detector at LEP is particularly suited for hadron identification and for the identification of b-initiated jets. This note presents recent results based on such characteristics. 1.

This work deals with Markov processes that are defined over an uncountable state space (possibly hybrid) and embedding non-determinism in the shape of a control structure. The contribu-tion looks at the problem of optimization, over the set of allowed controls, of probabilistic specifications defined by automata – in particular, the focus is on deterministic finite-state automata. This problem can be reformulated as an optimization of a prob-abilistic reachability property over a product process obtained from the model for the specification and the model of the sys-tem. Optimizing over automata-based specifications thus leads to maximal or minimal probabilistic reachability properties. For both setups, the contribution shows that these problems can be sufficiently tackled with history-independent Markov poli-cies. This outcome has relevant computational repercussions: in particular, the work develops a discretization procedure lead-ing into standard optimization problems over Markov decision processes. Such procedure is associated with exact error bounds and is experimentally tested on a case study.

Description of a new species of Tityus (Scorpiones, Buthidae) from the States of Espirito Santo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Tityus potameis sp. n., a member of the Tityus bahiensis species group, is described on the basis of two male and six female specimens collected at several localities in both

of the auditory system in this population. Studies in the area of hearing can favor the early diagnosis and therefore the intervention process. Key Words: Macrosomia; Central Auditory Disease.

Abstract. NA60 measured dimuon production in p-A and In-In collisions at the CERN SPS. This paper presents a high statistics measurement of φ meson production in In-In collisions at 158 AGeV. Both the transverse momentum, rapidity, decay angular distributions and the absolute yield were measured as a function of centrality. The results are compared to previous measurements in order to shed light on the long standing φ puzzle. In addition, highlights on η meson production and on the dimuon excess below the J/ψ mass are presented. Highlights from the NA60 experiment 2 1.
