We examine the terrorist manual circulated on the day of the attacks in Oslo and on Utøya island on July 22nd 2011 to find out if the OOXML structure is consistent with claims by the suspect apprehended for the terrorist act, and to determine if there have been additional authors.

Here I draw attention to two socio-ecological paradoxes. The Jevons Paradox is based on the observation that an improvement in the efficiency with which a natural resource is used is often associated with an increase in the consumption of that resource. Similarly, the Paperless Office Paradox is based on the observation that the development of substitutes for a natural resource is not always as...

We identify the conditions under which voters can induce political parties to collect information and to select policies which are optimal from the representative voter’s point of view. We show that when parties are office motivated the voting rule should encourage parties to collect information. Voting rules that focus on the opposition party sometimes dominate voting rules that focus on the i...

low back pain (lbp) is a widespread musculoskeletal disorder worldwide. it causes disability that influence work performance in individuals. the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of lbp in the middle-aged office workers in the lebanese population. in this observational, cross-sectional study performed in 2013, overall, 250 office workers aged between 20 and 64 ye...

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is a welldocumented phenomenon, in which the airtemperature in an urban area is elevated relative to the regional air-temperature. This paper evaluates two recently developed methods for generating urban weather files from a rural station that account for microclimatic impacts on dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity. The two methods examined are computat...

A product customization system with integrated application services is helpful for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The mode of application service provider (ASP) particularly targets SMEs by providing integrated applications. The current product customization system seldom considers integrating with ASPs and orienting product lifecycle. In this article, an ASP-based product customizat...

By examining solar observations using the Normal Incidence Spectrometer (NIS) within the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) on board SOHO, an isothermal region in the lower solar corona was chosen for analysis by three different temperature diagnostic techniques. These techniques are the line-ratio method, the Differential Emission Measure and the Emission Measure analysis. All three methods...

Aims. To determine the neon-to-oxygen abundance in the quiet Sun, a proxy for the photospheric abundance ratio. Methods. An emission measure method applied to extreme ultraviolet emission lines of Ne iv–vi and O iii–v ions observed by the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer on the SOHO satellite. is suggested, in good agreement with the most recent compilation of solar photospheric abundances, but ...

Using joint observations taken with the CDS and SUMER instruments onboard SOHO, we re-examine the solar transition region in an attempt to determine whether it is de-coupled from the over-lying coronal region. Line ratios calculated from temporal series observations of O iv and Fe xiii spectral lines were converted to electron density, and hence electron pressure using theoretical line ratios. ...
