The Prix Pictet is a photography prize focussing on sustainability. Anthropocentric in its world-view, the was endorsed and supported by Kofi Annan, who until 2006 Secretary-General of United Nations. This article argues three points. Firstly, that Pictet’s model sustainability anthropocentric produces framework which myriad inequalities human relationships become representable. as symptom cont...

Genomic sequences provide powerful new tools in genetic analysis, making it possible to combine classical genetics with genomics to characterize the genes in a particular chromosome region. These approaches have been applied successfully to the euchromatin, but analysis of the heterochromatin has lagged somewhat behind. We describe a combined genetic and bioinformatics approach to the base of t...

Reflective applications are able to query and manipulate the structure and behavior of a running system. This is essential for highly dynamic software that needs to interact with objects whose structure and behavior are not known when the application is written. Software analysis tools, like debuggers, are a typical example. Oddly, although reflection essentially concerns run-time entities, ref...

Web application development is undergoing a major transition from being exclusively web-centric towards becoming more user-centric. However, to a large extent, today’s web browsers, which are poised to facilitate this enriched user experience, are far from being ready for this transition. The goal of my research is to contribute to the design and development of the next generation of web browse...

In the present study, we quantitatively investigated the relationship between the signal intensity in a vessel and the duration of contrast enhancement as well as scan timing in 3D contrast-enhanced MR angiography using an elliptical centric phase-encoding technique. A tube phantom filled with Gd-DTPA, acting as a vessel, was taken out from the field of view during data acquisition, by using th...

Implementing transformational change towards the Net-Centric Operations (NCO) vision in support of enhanced command and control presents technical, operational, and cultural challenges. The technical challenges are being addressed by both industry and the Department of Defense pushing the state of the art further ahead. However, in many cases the technology transformation is too far ahead of th...

We present the Information-Centric Access Network (I-CAN) architecture, which is based on the publishsubscribe Information-Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm, identifying how it accounts for specific characteristics of mobile and wireless access networks. We also present initial results from the testbed implementation of two application scenarios that exploit key features of the I-CAN architectu...
