Most of the simulated events for the DZero experiment at Fermilab have been historically produced by the ''remote'' collaborating institutions. One of the principal challenges reported concerns the maintenance of the local software infrastructure, which is generally different from site to site....

Over the past few decades, cross-border business has experienced unparalleled growth. This growth is due to advances in communication and information technologies, privatization and deregulation in emerging economies, and emergence of the global consumer. As the era of globalization continues to...

The sediment graphs (time distribution of sediment yield) are very essential if the sediment transports the pollutants that are toxic at high concentrations, requiring determination of peak, rather than average sediment flow rate. In this paper, an effort has been made to develop a simple...

Persistence is studied in a financial context by mapping the time evolution of the values of the shares quoted on the London Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 index (FTSE 100) onto Ising spins. By following the time dependence of the spins, we find evidence for power law decay of the proportion...

Biological and social systems have been found to possess a non-trivial underlying network structure of interacting components. An important current question concerns the nature of the evolutionary processes that have led to the observed structural patterns dynamically. By comparing the metabolic...

We investigate the magnetoresistance (MR) responses in a ferromagnetic rectangular ring structure using a four-point probe technique. The measured MR curves are strongly dependent on the electrical contact geometries used. The associated MR characteristics are elucidated by a combination of...
