Service mappings are an important aspect of effective interoperation between Internet Integrated Services and ATM networks. Both Internet and ATM technologies have well-defined service architectures. In each, a small number of services are identified, with behavioral descriptions and related parameters to quantify network traffic and Quality of Service (QoS). This draft provides mappings betwee...

Surface waters to be used as resource for drinking water, waste water and sludge produced in treatment processes are very complex media containing soluble, colloidal and particulate matter. Apart from inert or dead matter the colloidal and particulate phase is mainly composed by organic bio-particles (viruses, bacteria, protozoa). Treatment processes like disinfection of potable water, hygienis...

Frustrated Blume-Emery-Griffiths model

A generalised integer S Ising spin glass model is analysed using the replica formalism. The bilinear couplings are assumed to have a Gaussian distribution with ferromagnetic mean < Jij >= J0. Incorporation of a quadrupolar interaction term and a chemical potential leads to a richer phase diagram with transitions of first and second order. The first order transition may be interpreted as a phase...

This article claims that such a high rate reflects measurement problems rather than labor market inefficiency. After discussing the reasons why unemployment rates may not be comparable across countries and reviewing the tools that are available to analyze unemployment in a specific country, the article p...
