I n a note published in The Lancet in December 1915, Frederic Twort described the discovery of an infectious, filterable agent that causes the glassy transformation and eventual killing of bacteria, now identified as Staphylococcus hyicus [1]. Two years later, Félix d’Herelle independently described an invisible microbe antagonistic to dysentery bacilli in a note to the Comptes Rendus de l’Acad...

While there are earlier records of investigation into performance, it is the work of Frederic Taylor in the early part of the twentieth century and his so-called ‘scientific management’ that laid the groundwork for modern concepts of performance management. As the result of the work of Taylor and others, private sector organizations, under the pressures of commercial competition, increasingly t...

Fractals are self-similar images. There are many techniques for generating fractals. IFS are one of them. IFS use a set of linear transformations for generation of fractals. We propose a method of modifying IFS such that non-linear transformations can be used for generating pleasant looking fractals. We also show a technique which ensures convergence of the fractal Images. Non-linear fractals h...
