The UVic Earth System Climate Model (version 2.8 with parameters as described in detail in (28)) includes a three-dimensional ocean general circulation model, a dynamicthermodynamic sea ice model, a simple one-layer energy-moisture balance model of the atmosphere as well as land-surface and dynamic terrestrial vegetation components at a resolution of 1.8°×3.6° with 19 vertical levels in the oce...

the evolution of the security council sanctions approach and its focus on individuals, groups and legal persons instead of states as traditional targets of the sanctions, and the procedures of adding a name to the consolidate list of a sanctions committee and removing it from that list without respecting the basic standards of the right to a fair trail or process, has provoked serious critics c...

[1] This study shows that the surface buoyancy conditions in the Northern Hemisphere may influence the stratification and transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). We use a course-resolution ocean general circulation model (OGCM) in an idealized single-basin configuration with a circumpolar channel. A decrease in the magnitude of the surface temperature meridional gradient in the No...

delivering added value public e-services often requires cooperation between two or more government departments. in general, such cooperation is ensured by implementing interoperability between automated business processes. in spite of the existence of several works interested in public online services in general, only few of them were focused on measuring interoperability degree, whether used o...

In this paper we introduce a service-oriented approach to the design of distributed data structures for MPI. Using this approach we present the design of an ordered linked-list structure. The implementation relies on Fine-Grain MPI (FG-MPI) and its support for exposing fine-grain concurrency. We describe the implementation of the service and show how to compose and map it onto a cluster. We exp...

classes serving at the Company's different Settlements in India arc in existence. The oldest such list which I have ever seen referred to, for I have not myself seen the actual list, is one enumerating the Company's servants serving on the Coast (Madras), and in the Bay (Bengal), in 1652 ; quoted in Yule's notes to Hedge's Diary, Vol. III> P196. This list includes two Medical Officers : At Madr...
