Nowadays, the Operating System (OS) isn’t only the software that runs your computer. In the typical informationdriven organization, the operating system is part of a much larger platform for applications and data that extends across the LAN, WAN and Internet. An OS cannot be an island unto itself; it must work with the rest of the enterprise. Enterprise wide applications require an Enterprise O...

Peer assessment is widely used at all levels of education. Students give and receive feedback from their classmates, and thereby produce a wealth of information that can potentially be used to improve the assessment process. But thus far, each online peerassessment system has been an entity unto itself. There has been no attempt to compare the approaches taken by such systems, for example, the ...

Venkatesh, M.S. and Raghavan, G.S.V. 2005. An overview of dielectric properties measuring techniques. Canadian Biosystems Engineering/Le génie des biosystèmes au Canada 47: 7.15 7.30. With a need for the development of improved sensing devices for the control and automation of several agricultural, environmental, and food processes, there is an absolute need for better understanding of the diel...

Music has been shown to have a profound effect on listeners’ internal states as evidenced by neuroscience research. Listeners report selecting and listening to music with specific intent, thereby using music as a tool to achieve desired psychological effects within a given context. In light of these observations, we argue that music information retrieval research must revisit the dominant assum...

Depression is a devastating and prevalent disease, with profound effects on neural structure and function; however the etiology and neuropathology of depression remain poorly understood. Though antidepressant drugs exist, they are not ideal, as only a segment of patients are effectively treated, therapeutic onset is delayed, and the exact mechanism of these drugs remains to be elucidated. Sever...

To a user, unreleased software is nonexistent software, even in open source projects which make the source code readily accessible. Every project requires regular software releases to encourage adoption and attract developers. Different projects approach the task of releasing software in various ways [2], and many experience breakdowns in their release process at some point during their evoluti...

A special numeral system rumi has been in use in North Africa since the Xe century. It remained in use until the XVIIe century. This system has been especially used in the administration of the city of Fez in Morocco. It has also been used in Al-Andalusians, Spain, starting from the XIIe century. The forms of the digits are quiet di erent from the Arabic or the Arabic-Indic digits in use today....

Today the applications of nuclear physics span a very broad range of topics and fields. This review discusses a number of aspects of these applications, including selected topics and concepts in nuclear reactor physics, nuclear fusion, nuclear non-proliferation, nuclear-geophysics, and nuclear medicine. The review begins with a historic summary of the early years in applied nuclear physics, wit...

Whole-genome sequencing projects have drastically changed the landscape of biological research. The lexicon of contemporary biology contains a plethora of new terms, including: genomics, research pertaining to the genome; proteomics, description of the protein complement of an organism; and bioinformatics, the collection and interpretation of biological information (primarily nucleic acid and a...

In this paper I present a partial formalisation of a normaliser for type theory in Agda[Nor07]; extending previous work on big-step normalisation[AC08,AC06]. The normaliser in written as an environment machine. Only the computational behaviour of the normaliser is presented omitting details of termination.
