The Synthesis Telescope at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory

We describe an aperture synthesis radio telescope optimized for studies of the Galactic interstellar medium (ISM), providing the ability to image extended structures with high angular resolution over wide fields. The telescope produces images of atomic hydrogen emission using the 21-cm H i spectral line, and, simultaneously, continuum emission in two bands centred at 1420MHz and 408MHz, includi...

No dominion over nature

Global trends including population growth, changing diets and consumption patterns, urbanisation and climate change will exert increasing pressure on supplies of food and other products of ecosystems. Many experts predict that food production will need to increase by up to 100 per cent over the next forty years and some suggest that this can only be achieved through intensification of current i...

Dominion -- A constraint solver generator

This paper proposes a design for a system to generate constraint solvers that are specialised for specific problem models. It describes the design in detail and gives preliminary experimental results showing the feasibility and effectiveness of the approach.

The Digital Dominion ’ s Digital Divide

SPRING 2001 On August 31, 2000, Governor James S. Gilmore proclaimed Virginia the Digital Dominion. With the ambitious goal of making Virginia a model for the rest of the world, the governor is committed to promoting state growth and development through information technology (IT) and to using technology “to break down the barriers that distance people from their government.” Virginia is undoub...
