The CMS High Level Trigger

At the Large Hadron Collider at CERN the proton bunches cross at a rate of 40MHz. At the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment the original collision rate is reduced by a factor of O (1000) using a Level-1 hardware trigger. A subsequent factor of O(1000) data reduction is obtained by a software-implemented High Level Trigger (HLT) selection that is executed on a multi-processor farm. In this review we present in detail prototype CMS HLT physics selection algorithms, expected trigger rates and trigger performance in terms of both physics efficiency and timing.Comment: accepted by EPJ Nov 200

Solitons and Other Solutions to Perturbed Rosenau-KdV-RLW Equation with Power Law Nonlinearity

This paper obtains solitons and other solutions to the perturbed Rosenau-KdV-RLW equation that is used to model dispersive shallow water waves. This equation is taken with power law nonlinearity in this paper. There are several integration tools that are adopted to solve this equation. These are Kudryashov method, sine-cosine function method, G'/G-expansion scheme and finally the exp-function approach. Solitons and other solutions are obtained along with several constraint conditions that naturally emerge from the structure of these solutions

Comparison of Fecal Egg Counts and ELISA for the diagnosis of Dicrocoelium Dendriticum infection

From economical point of view, Dicrocoelium Dendriticum (D. dendriticum) causes a lot of damages to the livestock industry annually. So, the rapid diagnosis of infection is very important. The diagnosis is based on egg per count of feces (EPG) test because detection according to clinical symptoms is difficult. Since EPG is not accurate and sensitive, the serological methods become important for the diagnosis of this parasite as they are more accurate in comparison to EPG test and they are able to diagnose infection in a short time. In this study, somatic and Excretory-secretory antigens (EsAg) were isolated. The ELISA test was set up according to positive and negative sera and the results which were obtained compared to those obtained by the EPG test. The prevalence of infection in 550 samples by ELISA and EPG methods were 56% and 7% respectively, which shows the significant difference between these methods in examining the rate of infection. Based on the results, the specificity and sensitivity in ELISA test were 95% and 94%, respectively. The results showed that the ELISA is a more reliable test in comparison to EPG test for the rapid diagnosis of D. dendriticum infection
