Rare hadronic B decays
Rare hadronic B-meson decays allow us to study CP violation. The class of B
decays final states containing two vector mesons provides a rich set of angular
correlation observables to study. This article reviews some of the recent
experimental results from the BaBar and Belle collaborations.Comment: International Conference on Flavor Physics, Chung-Li, Taiwan, 3rd-8th

The measurement of alpha from the B-factories
Significant progress toward measuring the CKM angle alpha has been made by
the B-factories over the past decade. This work has culminated in a constraint
on alpha with a precision of less than 4 degrees.Comment: Proceedings of the Tenth Conference on the Intersections of Particle

A survey of electric and hybrid vehicle simulation programs
Results of a survey conducted within the United States to determine the extent of development and capabilities of automotive performance simulation programs suitable for electric and hybrid vehicle studies are summarized. Altogether, 111 programs were identified as being in a usable state. The complexity of the existing programs spans a range from a page of simple desktop calculator instructions to 300,000 lines of a high-level programming language. The capability to simulate electric vehicles was most common, heat-engines second, and hybrid vehicles least common. Batch-operated programs are slightly more common than interactive ones, and one-third can be operated in either mode. The most commonly used language was FORTRAN, the language typically used by engineers. The higher-level simulation languages (e.g. SIMSCRIPT, GPSS, SIMULA) used by "model builders" were conspicuously lacking
