The Role of the FMD in High pT Physics
When the LHC begins operation in 2008 the Forward Multiplicity Detector (FMD) at ALICE will measure charged particles at forward rapidities . The measurements of the event plane of the collisions will enable studies of the properties of in medium jet modifications. In this contribution the properties and capabilities of the ALICE FMD are discussed
Design of Vertical Wall Caisson Breakwaters using Partial Safety Factors
The paper presents a new system for implementation of target reliability in caisson breakwater designs by means of partial safety factors. The development of the system is explained, and tables of partial safety factors are presented for important overall stability failure modes related to caisson structures placed on bedding layers and high rubble mound foundations with underlaying sand and clay subsoils. 2
ADIPLS -- the Aarhus adiabatic oscillation package
Development of the Aarhus adiabatic pulsation code started around 1978.
Although the main features have been stable for more than a decade, development
of the code is continuing, concerning numerical properties and output. The code
has been provided as a generally available package and has seen substantial use
at a number of installations. Further development of the package, including
bringing the documentation closer to being up to date, is planned as part of
the HELAS Coordination Action.Comment: Astrophys. Space Sci., in the pres
