In this paper we describe the tool{supported speci-cation and implementation of a multimedia communication protocol on parallel hardware. MCAM is an application layer protocol for movie control, access and management. We specify the full MCAM protocol together with ISO presentation and session layers in Es-telle. Using a code generator, we derive parallel C++ code from the speciication. The cod...

Despite the fact that large scale shared-memory multiprocessors have been commercially available for several years, system software that fully utilizes all of their features is still not available. These machines require system software that is scalable, supports fault containment, and provides scalable resource management. Software supporting these features is currently unavailable, mostly due...

Management of the first wave of the H1N1 influenza pandemic has presented major logistic and infrastructural challenges for public health authorities worldwide. Mangement in the Northern hemisphere has been in part guided by information provided by countries in the Southern hemisphere, which were the first to experience a winter outbreak of the new influenza H1N1 variant virus.

Though angioplasty is an established technique for the management of coronary artery disease, there is still controversy about whether it needs on site surgical cover. The aims of angioplasty and coronary artery bypass surgery in the management of coronary disease are similar, namely to relieve symptoms and in certain groups to improve prognosis, at the lowest risk and morbidity. Because the de...

Ultrasonic wave propagation in water-saturated bovine cancellous (spongy) bone has been experimentally studied in vitro by a pulse transmission technique. In earlier investigation, fast and slow longitudinal waves have been clearly observed when the acoustic wave propagates in the direction of the trabeculm orientation. In the present study, the propagation speeds of the fast and the slow waves...

Dear Readers, Microbial Biotechnology (MBT) is undergoing a number of interesting changes that we would like to report. The first is its transition to an author-pays open access model from 2013. We believe open access will offer the journal a number of advantages, including the flexibility to grow without the constraints of a page budget, and substantial increases in exposure, with all articles...

The GSM system has become the most popular system for mobile communication in the world. Criminals commonly use GSM phones, and it is therefore a need for forensic investigators to understand which evidence can be obtained from the GSM system. This paper briefly explains the basics of the GSM system. Evidence items that can be obtained from the Mobile Equipment, the SIM and the core network are...
