A new heavy gauge boson, W′, decaying to a muon and a neutrino, is searched for in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The data, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1. No significant excess of events above the standard model expectation is found in the transverse mass distribution of the muon–neutrino system. Masses below 1.40...
A measurement of W+W− production in pp collisions at s=7 TeV and a search for the Higgs boson are reported. The W+W− candidates are selected in events with two leptons, either electrons or muons. The measurement is performed using LHC data recorded with the CMS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1. The pp → W+W− cross section is measured to be 41.1±15.3(stat)±5.8(syst)±4...
Campus information systems have the potential to provide wide range of services for staff and campus at universities. We proposed a new system, FNU-CIS, a campus information system characterized by offering better services and less maintenance. Campus information systems must provide a secure, highly efficient, flexible, usable and reliable environment, the key issues in campus information systems...
We present an efficient emulation-based technique to accelerate architecture exploration of networks-on-chip (NoCs). The large design space of NoC along with its growing complexity that results in low simulation speeds on host machines have motivated the need for hardware accelerators for speeding up the simulation. For example, simulation of applications with real life problem sizes could take weeks...
This paper presents a software reliability growth model based on Ito type stochastic differential equation. As the size of a software system is large, the number of faults detected during the testing phase becomes large ; the change of the number of faults, which are detected and removed through each debugging, becomes sufficiently small compared with the initial fault content at the beginning of...
Literacy is one of the great challenges in the developing world. But universal education is an unattainable dream for those children who lack access to quality educational resources such as well-prepared teachers and schools. Worse, many of them do not attend school regularly due to their need to work for the family in the agricultural fields or households. This work commitment puts formal education...
Software industry demands the development of products at a very fast rate with most effective solutions. For this reason most of the components are desired to be reused again and again. Use of design patterns can speed up the process of product development by providing the pre-tested footsteps to follow. Design patterns show their effectiveness from Design phase to maintenance. Design patterns can...
Reasoning about the impact of change is critical throughout the information technology (IT) architecture lifecycle management processes and this is especially challenging because installed architectures are complex, evolve constantly, and most changes have some global impact. We present an enterprise-interaction ontology for integrated query, analysis, and monitoring that supports features to allow...
Energy consumption is a major component for industries and distribution licensees. Its effective control is a means of increasing reliability, availability and profitability. In a transmission and distribution system, few of the reasons behind a high technical loss are improper load management, overloading on distribution side, ageing of equipments and inaccurate metering. Further, losses depend on...
Our goal in this study was to compare the effectiveness of displaying the open student model as a set of skillometers versus concept maps. The data suggests that concept maps are significantly more effective than a set of skillometers when answering questions that require synthesizing an overview of the topic.
