The far-infrared spectrum of deuterated hydrogen sulfide: The ground state rotational constants of D232S,D234S,HD32S,and HD34S

Pure rotation spectra of deuterated samples of hydrogen sulfide have been recorded between 25 and 280 cm^?1 with a Fourier transform spectrometer at an apodized resolution of 0.004 cm^?1. Accurate rotational and centrifugal distortion constants have been derived from the observed line positions for the four isotopic species D₂³²S, D₂³⁴S, HD³²S, and HD³⁴S. Finally, an extensive list of calculated and observed line positions, together with their calculated intensities is presented.     

Empirical modeling of human face kinematics during speech using motion clustering

In this paper we present an algorithm for building an empirical model of facial biomechanics from a set of displacement records of markers located on the face of a subject producing speech. Markers are grouped into clusters, which have a unique primary marker and a number of secondary markers with an associated weight. Motion of the secondary markers is computed as the weighted sum of the primary markers of the clusters to which they belong. This model may be used to produce facial animations, by driving the primary markers with measured kinematic signals.     

Search for direct CP violation in nonleptonic decays of charged Xi and lambda hyperons

A search for direct CP violation in the nonleptonic decays of hyperons has been performed. In comparing the product of the decay parameters, alpha(Xi)alpha(Lambda), in terms of an asymmetry parameter, A(XiLambda), between hyperons and antihyperons in the charged Xi-->Lambdapi and Lambda-->ppi decay sequence, we found no evidence of direct CP violation. The parameter A(XiLambda) was measured to be 0.012+/-0.014.
