An upper limit on the decay rate of K°L-> pi+ pi- gamma
… was one event. This.,result corresponds to an upper limit on the decay rate [reaction] sec -1 at a confidence level of 9O%. The result is compared with the predictions of various theoretical models. The possible connections to other decay processes [reaction] and the feasibilities of CP …

An upper limit on the abundance of small trans-Neptunian objects from X-ray occultations
… can be caused by occultations. This gives an upper limit on the cumulative TNO size distribution for > 20 m radius. I also derive a model lightcurve for occultations of Sco X-1 from diffraction theory, and use this model to predict properties of an ensemble of occultation events. Implications …

Search for CP violation in D-meson decays
… detector at the e+e- storage ring at SPEAR, an upper limit of .30 at the 90% confidence level is set on the magnitude of the CP asymmetry Acp for the CP eigenstate no -+ K+ K-. This falls within the preexisting limit of .45 @90% CL set by FNAL experiment E691 using the same decay. The first …

Neutron-proton bremsstrahlung at 4.8 MeV
… nucleon angles were θₙ = 35°, θᵨ = 25°. An upper limit to d²σ/dΩₙdΩᵨ of 210 μb/sr² was found. The experimental method was unusual in that the target was an organic scintillation crystal which also served as recoil proton detector, and the bremsstrahlung photon was detected in addition to the …

Search for CP violation in D-meson decays
… at the $e\sp+e\sp-$ storage ring at SPEAR, an upper limit of.30 at the 90% confidence level is set on the magnitude of the CP asymmetry $A\sb{cp}$ for the CP eigenstate $D\sp0\to K\sp+K\sp-.$ This falls within the preexisting limit of.45 @ 90% CL set by FNAL experiment E687 using the same …

Designing a Membrane Module for Determining the Permeance of High Fluxing Membranes and the Testing RTIL-Membranes for Dehumidification.
… gases. In the study, we need to determine: the upper limit on SILM permeance free of gas boundary resistances, the upper limit on water/gas selectivity. Thus, we suggest designed several new membrane modules, and the testing RTIL-membranes, with water miscible and water immiscible SILMs, for …

Nano-scale scratching in chemical-mechanical polishing
… analyses to determine both the lower- and upper-bounds for the load per particle are introduced. These bounds are established for both homogenous and composite coatings. Multi-particle models are also presented. These models use contact mechanics at the pad-particle-coating interface to …

Search for the Decay B0 -> eta phi at the BABAR Experiment
… the decay B0 -> eta phi is determined by the upper limit BR (B0 -> eta phi) < 3.28 x 10^-6 (90%). This value includes a systematic uncertainty of 6.2%. The cited upper limit is consistent with recent theoretical predictions. Therefore, this search gives no indication for particle …

Strength of welded shear studs
… and strength. It is also shown that the upper limit for shear strength used in the current AISC specification (Load 1993) is unconservative and a lower upper limit is proposed. Eighty-seven pushout tests utilizing steel deck were also conducted. It is shown how the placement, height, and …

The albedo of an exoplanet: spacebased photometry of the transiting system HD 209458
… of MOST photometry of HD 209458 sets a 1 sigma upper limit on the depth of the optical eclipse of the planet of 17 parts per million (ppm) = 17 micromagnitudes. This corresponds to a 1 sigma upper limit on the flux ratio of planet to star of 1.57 x 10^-5 and an upper limit on the geometric …

Use of Short Amino Acid Motifs in the Computational Analysis of Protein Diversity and Function
… extant proteins is needed in order to define the limitations on protein structure and diversity from a bioengineering perspective. This paper focuses on defining an upper limit for protein diversity using computational approaches derived from linguistic analyses. These methods are used to make a …

A Search For Warm-Hot Intergalactic Matter in the Local Sheet of Galaxies
… equal to that predicted by the simulations, the upper limit to the oxygen abundance for the WHIM in the Local Sheet must be 0.05 ± 0.01 Z⊙. If instead a metallicity of 0.1 Z⊙ is adopted for the WHIM, the upper limit to the hydrogen number density must be 0.64 ± 0.02 times that predicted by the …
