MS-111: The Dwight D. Eisenhower Society Papers

The collection contains The Eisenhower Society correspondence, administrative and program materials covering the period 1986-1999, including the Society’s increased activity and involvement in connection with the October, 1990 centennial celebration of Eisenhower’s birth. Special Collections and College Archives Finding Aids are discovery tools used to describe and provide access to our holdings. Finding aids include historical and biographical information about each collection in addition to inventories of their content.

CP Violation Beyond the Standard Model

I review CP-violating signals of physics beyond the standard model in the B system. I examine the prospects for finding these effects at future colliders, with an emphasis on hadron machines.Comment: 11 pages, plain latex, no figures.

A Milliped New to Michigan (Pselaphognatha: Polyxenus)

The authors wish to report the finding of representatives of the genus Polyxenus for the first time in Michigan (Fig. 1). In Bert M. Johnson\u27s survey (1954) of the millipedes of Michigan, no members of the subclass Pselaphognatha were reported. During the period of September through October 1970, the authors collected over 40 specimens of Polyxenus and observed over 100 in the field. All of the specimens were found in a mature pine stand in Ypsilanti Township

A Study on Slangs Found in Malang Post

The objective of this study is the researcher wants to describe slang of reversion, pure \ud slang, and slang of loan word written in Malang Post published on October 2004. \ud The design of this study is descriptive qualitative. The accessible population is only \ud newspapers published on October 2004 and the sample is all “Ngalam” columns written in \ud October 2004. On that period, the researcher found 25 “Ngalam” columns as the sample. \ud The data collection method used in this research is documentary study. The document in \ud this study is Malang Post newspapers published on October 2004. \ud Based on the research, there are 48 slang words found in “Ngalam” column published in \ud October 2004. 44 words grouped as slang of reversion, 1 word as pure slang, and 3 words \ud as slang of loan word. 35 of them are adopted from Indonesian language and the rest are \ud Javanese. \ud From the result of the research, the researcher concludes that slang of reversion of \ud Indonesian dominate the finding. Malang people prefer to adopt Indonesian words rather \ud than Javanese in creating slang of reversion because several reasons. \ud The researcher hopes the result of this research can be used as one of the reference \ud especially for the lecturer who teaches sociolinguistic and it can be used as an additional \ud material in teaching slang. The researcher also wants to give a description about slang \ud written in Malang Post for the students from other cities who wants to know more about \ud slang in Malang and as a comparison with slang from their own city

Jet Reconstruction with charged tracks only in CMS

The performance of jet finding using only charged tracks in CMS has been investigated. Different jet algorithms have been applied to QCD di-jet events, to hadronic tt multi-jet events and on Z+jets events. Results using jets made with tracks only or calorimeter towers are compared for energy response, angular resolution and jet matching to the leading partons. The jet reconstruction performance in the presence of pile-up interactions is presented for the Z+jets sample.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, proceedings of Physics at LHC, 29 September - 4 October 2008, Split, Croati

Lorentz completion of effective string action

In the presence of a confining flux tube between a pair of sources the vacuum is no longer Poincare' invariant. This symmetry is nonlinearly realized in the effective string action. A general method for finding a large class of Lorentz invariant contributions to the action is described. The relationship between this symmetry and diffeomorphism invariance is further investigated.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, Contribution to the Proceedings of the conference 'Xth Quark Confinement and the Hadron Spectrum', October 8-12, 2012, TUM Campus Garching, Munich, Germany; references adde

OPERA: waiting for the tau

The OPERA experiment, whose aim is the direct observation of nu_mu ~> nu_tau oscillations in appearance mode in the CNGS high-energy neutrino beam, consists of a high-granularity modular target of nuclear emulsions-lead "bricks", richly instrumented with electronic detectors necessary for the location of neutrino interactions and kinematic analysis. After the first short runs of August 2006, October 2006 and October 2007, the experiment started early this summer its first long physics run (about 150 days). Operating at the final target mass of 1.35 kton, the 2008 run can realistically offer the first chance to observe a tau originated from a flavour oscillated nu_mu. This contribution will discuss the different aspects of the experiment, the challenges of the data handling and the recent achievements. It will also outline the various steps required for the analysis in nuclear emulsions from the "brick finding" to the vertex reconstruction.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures.

Manipulating Tournaments in Cup and Round Robin Competitions

In sports competitions, teams can manipulate the result by, for instance, throwing games. We show that we can decide how to manipulate round robin and cup competitions, two of the most popular types of sporting competitions in polynomial time. In addition, we show that finding the minimal number of games that need to be thrown to manipulate the result can also be determined in polynomial time. Finally, we show that there are several different variations of standard cup competitions where manipulation remains polynomial.Comment: Proceedings of Algorithmic Decision Theory, First International Conference, ADT 2009, Venice, Italy, October 20-23, 200
