The film makes whiteness hyper-visible by subjecting it to...

Layered metal-organic frameworks and nanosheets have been regarded as an important series of low-dimensional materials. Their flexible designability intrinsic porosity allow layered to be differentiated from inorganic counterparts. The present review article is devoted collecting pieces research aiming at exploiting innovative nanomaterials. Spearheaded by introductory part Section 1, the inclu...

LADS’09 aims to offer a rich forum for leading researchers, from both academia and industry, interested in sharing their experiences about the theory and practice of formal approaches, programming languages, tools and techniques that support the development and deployment of multi-agent systems. These are gaining increasing attention in important application areas such as electronic institution...

Systems thinking is very much in vogue, in the public services especially (Wastell, 2011). The term embraces a plethora of specific meanings, methods and affiliated sects. Flood & Jackson (1991) provide a handy overview of 8 distinctive approaches, including Soft Systems Methodology and Systems Dynamics, as well as their own ‘Total Systems Intervention’. In this essay, I provide an overview of ...

1. The excretion of 2,4-dimethyl-6-sulphanilamidopyrimidine (sulphasomidine; Elkosin) and 4-methoxy-2-methyl-6-sulphanilamidopyrimidine (sulphamethomidine) given orally was examined in man, rhesus monkey, rabbit and rat. 2. About 70% of sulphasomidine (0.1g./kg.) is excreted mainly unchanged in the urine by these species in 24hr.; less than 15% of the dose is acetylated and there is no marked s...

In recent years, multiagent systems have come to form one of the key technologies for software development. The Formal Approaches to Multiagent Systems (FAMAS) workshop series brings together researchers from the fields of logic, theoretical computer science and multi-agent systems in order to discuss formal techniques for specifying and verifying multiagent systems, including many subtle and n...
