A procedure with a Bayesan approach for calculating upper limits to gravitational wave bursts from coincidence experiments with multiple detectors is described. PACS:04.80,04.30

The current practice for the U.S. EPA is to consider exempting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from regulation as tropospheric ozone precursors if they can be shown to have lower or similar ozone impacts as does ethane. This paper discusses a procedure to estimate upper limit ozone impacts

When a known source is undetected at some statistical significance during an observation, it is customary to state the upper limit on its intensity. This limit is taken to mean the largest intrinsic intensity that the source can have and yet have a given probability of remaining undetected. (Or

An upper limit for the ø mass is determined through the kinematic reconstruction of the decay ø ! 5ß \Sigma ø in the OPAL detector at LEP. The limit is obtained using a new method based on the comparison of the two--dimensional distribution of energy and invariant mass of the five--pion system

of the universe are two very important issues in cosmology, as they determine the future evolution and the nature of the universe. An attempt has been taken here to find the upper limit of the age of the universe with cosmological constant. PACs: 98.80-Bp: Origin and formation of the universe

We have searched for decays of the ø lepton into seven or more charged particles, using data collected with the OPAL detector from 1990 to 1995 in e + e \Gamma collisions at p s ß MZ . No candidate events were found and an upper limit on the branching ratio for ø decays into seven charged

To calculate the upper limit for the Poisson observable at given confidence level with inclusion of systematic uncertainties in background expectation and signal efficiency, formulations have been established along the line of Bayesian approach. A FORTRAN program, BPULE, has been developed

If the source of the current accelerating expansion of the universe is a positive cosmological constant, Banks and Fischler argued that there exists an upper limit of the total number of e-foldings of inflation. We further elaborate on the upper limit in the senses of viewing the cosmological

We report the results of the Limits Challenge project, in which participants were asked to provide upper limits on a cross section s measured in a counting experiment with nuisance parameters.

Barriers to fish migration exist in many ways shapes, and forms. The range of salmon and steelhead has always been limited to some extent by natural features, such as sandbars, landslides, waterfalls, and boulder cascades. Man has further truncated their range with an astounding variety of instream
