We define ”Secure Space” as an enclosed area within which wireless devices can participate in secure group communication. A device is able to join a secure space group by the virtue of its location within the enclosure. The devices communicate with each other using IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN or other similar wireless access technologies. There are two important aspects of this problem — (a) deter...

Background: The study was carried out to investigate the relationship between the development potential and the diameter of ovine oocytes. Materials and Methods: Ovaries collected from a local abattoir were transported to the laboratory within 1-3 h of slaughter. The oocytes from follicles (2-6 mm in diameter) were recovered by aspiration and stored in a preincubated (at 38.6 C, 5% CO2 and maxi...

This modified (two-sided) Mullins-Sekerka model is a nonlocal evolution model for closed hypersurfaces, which appears as a singular limit of a modified Cahn-Hilliard equation describing microphase separation of diblock copolymer. Under this evolution the propagating interfaces maintain the enclosed volumes of the two phases. We will show by means of an example that this model does not preserve ...

in this article which deals with the survey and analytic concept of space in vernacular and modern architecture, first the concept of space is explicated generally while it is briefly free of style and orientation. then, it offers explanations of each kind of above mentioned architectures that has been invoked by researchers and intellectuals about art and architecture. then differences of the ...

The author explores the relationship between rationality, ethics, and space. He argues that the contemporary ethical project involves a derationalisation of ethics through a recorporealisation of space. There is a move away from the abstract space of liberal ^ individualist notions of justice to more enclosed and local spaces of communitarian loyalties and intersubjective communication. Postmod...

AIMS Encircling ablation of the right and left pulmonary venous antra is commonly practiced. The importance to procedure outcome of electrical isolation of unablated myocardium enclosed by the encircling lesions is increasingly clear. The safe and effective achievement of isolation is dependent on a thorough comprehension of the 'electroanatomic' ablation substrate. We sought to improve compreh...

Time-symmetric initial data for two-body solutions in three dimensional anti-deSitter gravity are found. The spatial geometry has constant negative curvature and is constructed as a quotient of two-dimensional hyperbolic space. Apparent horizons correspond to closed geodesics. In an open universe, it is shown that two black holes cannot exist separately, but are necessarily enclosed by a third ...

Recent findings indicate that toddlers can use geometric cues to locate an object hidden in a corner of a rectangular room after being disoriented [Cognition 61 (1996) 195]. It has been suggested that locating the object involves reestablishing one’s initial heading. The present experiments examine search behavior after disorientation. We find that toddlers go directly to a particular corner, i...
