ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS Study of an unbiased sample of B stars observed with Hipparcos: the discovery of a large amount of new Slowly Pulsating B Stars Abstract. We present a classiication of 267 new variable B-type stars discovered by Hipparcos. We have used two diierent classiication schemes and they both result in only a few new Cephei stars, a huge number of new Slowly Pulsating B stars,...

CONTRIBUTING REVIEWERS We and the Editorial Board acknowledge and thank all reviewers for their active participation and contribution during 2013. We greatly appreciate their dedication and behind the scenes contribution. It is largely due to their support and expertise that we have been able to publish high-standard manuscripts.

The evolution of software architecture, including operating systems and applications, spans from batch systems on big iron to today’s hand-held devices, and is now reaching into ubiquitous computing objects as evident in efforts such as JINI and Bluetooth. In digital telecommunication, the origins came from PCM and Ethernet, via OSI’s X.25 to fast packet-switching realized in Frame Relay and AT...

We present the results of the characterization of Mg/Co periodic multilayers and their thermal stability for the EUV range. The annealing study is performed up to a temperature of 400°C. Images obtained by scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy clearly show the good quality of the multilayer structure. The measurements of the EUV reflectivity around 25 n...

"SMELL THE ROSES" (upper-case letters are the program's). The program thought I didn't smell the roses because I was leading too hectic a life. Although busy, I do nonetheless take time for such things, but I answered "No" to that question because of rather severe allergies! Nevertheless, as a patient who had just spent a considerable amount of time entering the data, I was pleased the program ...
