Le Minos dans le Corpus Platonicum
La thèse propose une analyse du Minos, court dialogue du Corpus Platonicum considéré comme apocryphe à partir du XIXème siècle. Ce dialogue pose la question de la définition de la loi et fait l’éloge de la figure de Minos en tant que roi et législateur. En le resituant dans son contexte …

Measuring theta?? via muon neutrino to electron neutrino oscillations in the MINOS experiment
… of CP violation into the lepton sector. The MINOS long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment has the ability to make a measurement of this parameter, by looking for the oscillation of muon neutrinos to electron neutrinos between a Near and Far Detector over a distance of 735 km. This …

A Study of Muon Neutrino Disappearance in the MINOS Detectors and the NuMI Beam
… source in order to achieve the main goal of the MINOS experiment: precise measurements of the atmospheric mass splitting and mixing angle. The goal of my thesis is to accurately predict the neutrino flux for the MINOS experiment and measure the neutrino mixing angle and atmospheric mass …

Identifying muons for neutrino oscillation and cross section experiments
… flavor called 'neutrino oscillations'. The MINOS experiment (Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search) was designed to measure the neutrino oscillation parameters, [Delta]m²₃₂ and sin²(2[theta]₃₂). MINOS is composed of two detectors located on a 'beam' of v[subscript mu]s. The MINOS Near …

Grounding reason : Socratic dialectic in Aristotle's "Topics" and Plato's "Hipparchus", "Minos", and "Lovers".
… for someone. Chapter four turns to Plato's Minos, which investigates what law is and discloses the comprehensive character of the human things. Chapter five interprets Plato's Lovers, which explores the relationship between philosophy and the noble and the place of erotic love in human life. …

A measurement of the atmospheric neutrino flux and oscillation parameters at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
… parameters observed by the Super Kamiokande and Minos experiments, and places 2-D limits of [delta]m2 23 = 1:8+7:1 ??1:1 103 eV2 at the 68% confidence level, and sin2(2[theta]23) > 0:33 at the 90% confidence level. In addition, the flux of atmospheric neutrinos is measured in 1-D with a 68% …

Trajectory optimization for a fixed trim re-entry vehicle using direct collocation with nonlinear programming
… optimization problem is solved using the MINOS non-linear programming software package. The resulting collocation guidance software is tested using data for the Kistler K-1 vehicle system and an existing vehicle simulation. Mass, wind, density, and entry angle dispersions are considered, …

Hydroelectric power optimization using a decomposition procedure for the indefinite quadratic form
… Basin and the models are solved using the GAMS/MINOS computer code. A comparison of the results obtained from successive linear programming, a fixed head linearization strategy, and direct nonlinear optimization of the nonconvex objective, with the results of the decomposition procedure, …

The impacts of trade and agricultural policies in the Dominican Republic: a sector programming approach
… is solved in its quadratic form using the GAMS/MINOS package. A competitive market is assumed where consumer and producer surplus is maximized. Quantities and prices are obtained endogenously. Nominal and Effective Rates of Protection were estimated for selected crops. Results indicated negative …

Racing line optimization
… programming solver method is based on the MINOS solver on AMPL and the MATLAB Optimization Toolbox and it only needs the input of the objective function and constraints. A heavy emphasis is placed on the artificial intelligence method. It works well for any 2-D or 3-D track shapes. It uses …

Nearly Representable Operators (dunford-Pettis, Radon-Nikodym)
In this thesis we introduce the class (DELTA)(X,Y) of nearly represent- able operators from a Banach space X to a Banach space Y. These are the operators that map X-valued uniformly bounded martingales that are Cauchy in the Pettis norm into Y-valued martingales that converge almost everywhere.

The Crete and Cretans of Euripides: Perceptions and Representations
… isolated nature, including the portrayals of Minos, Cretan women, the Minotaur, Cretan gods and spirits and the location of Crete itself. Many of these themes are also deployed paradoxically to stress, instead, Crete’s links with the mainland. Overall, common themes emerge that can be usefully …

Global Optimization of Nonconvex Factorable Programs with Applications to Engineering Design Problems
… on initializing the nonlinear programming solver MINOS at the node zero LP solution produced the actual global optimum. Moreover, in finding a global optimum, our algorithm discovered better solutions than the ones previously reported in the literature for two of these test instances.

Nitrogen isotopes in chlorophyll and the origin of Eastern Mediterranean sapropels
The goals of this thesis were: (1) to establish methods for the determination of nitrogen and carbon isotope ratios in marine particulate and sedimentary chlorophyll derivatives; (2) to establish chlorophyll δ15N and δl3C as proxies for the nitrogen and carbon isotopic composition of marine …
