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 ...

Recent advances in operating and manipulating DNA have provided unique experimental possibilities many fields of research, especially gene therapy. Researchers deployed techniques, theoretical, to study the structure changes due external perturbation. It is crucial understand structural dynamical molecules a confined state control self-assembly chamber or nano-channel for various applications. ...

nameh-ye_khosravan is a work of jalal al-din mirza, son of fath ali shah qajar, which was written during the reign of naser al-din shah qajar. in accordance to this era’s way of thinking, the illustrated manuscript of the nameh-ye khosravan is characteristically written in persian script, the arabic words and vocabularies are removed from it and the kings of the pre-islamic era of iran are illu...

The new sample of giant radio sources II. Update of optical counterparts, further spectroscopy of identified faint host galaxies, high-frequency radio maps, and polarisation properties of the sources Abstract. Our sample of giant radio-source candidates, published in Paper I, is updated and supplemented with further radio and optical data. In this paper we present: (i) newly detected host galax...
