Two major satellite breakups, the worst in 20 months, occurred just four weeks apart in the fourth quarter of 2001, both producing in excess of 300 large fragments. Two other lesser breakup events brought the total number of satellite fragmentations to nine for the year, a rate not matched since 1998., experienced a significant fragmentation while in an orbit just 30 km above the International ...

Abstract. Long-term measurements of atmospheric mass concentrations black carbon (BC) are needed to investigate changes in its emission, transport, and deposition. However, depending on instrumentation, parameters related BC such as aerosol absorption coefficient (babs) have been measured instead. Most ground-based babs the Arctic made by filter-based photometers, including particle soot photom...

The VLA-COSMOS large project is described and its scientific objective is discussed. We present a catalog of ∼ 3, 600 radio sources found in the 2 deg 2 COSMOS field at 1.4 GHz. The observations in the VLA A and C configuration resulted in a resolution of 1.5 ′′ ×1.4 ′′ and a mean rms noise of ∼ 10.5(15) µJy/beam in the central 1(2) deg 2. 80 radio sources are clearly extended consisting of mul...

We describe our use of the CoSMoS process to structure an incremental change of a biological simulation. The domain is auxin transport canalisation. An existing simulator is refactored to handle aspects of 2D and 3D space more efficiently, and enhanced to include more realistically-shaped plant cells. The CoSMoS process supports clear separation of concerns, allowing us to concentrate on the bi...

We briefly reviewed some recent progress on the studies of supernova remnants (SNRs), including the radio SNRs (the structure, polarization, spectrum etc.), observational characteristics of X-ray emission, pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe), association properties between SNR and PSR, interaction of SNR and interstellar medium (ISM), cosmos ray and the SNRs in external galaxies, etc.. Correspondingly t...

The Co-design is the process of generating a mixed hardware/software architecture starting from system-level model. This paper discusses the uses of SDL for the co-design of an ATM Network Interface Card (NIC). In this study, the initial specification is given in SDL. The architecture generation is made using Cosmos, a co-design tool for multiprocessor architecture. Several architectures are pr...

RESUMO Este trabalho visa, por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica sobre cosmos na literatura do Psicodrama, propor articulação teórica conceito encontrado com conceitos encontrados no livro Max Scheler, A posição homem cosmos. Espera-se este escrito ampliar a discussão e reflexão o tema.

Communities offer a context for people to meet, communicate and collaborate. Tools to support communities usually provide a communication medium and functionalities to find communication partners. Thereby, they strengthen existing communities or enable completely new (virtual) communities. In this paper we briefly present some ideas towards the extension of community support to mobile environme...
