Successful software projects pay a careful attention to their software architecture: the structure of the constituent parts and the ways they interact. Without a properly designed architecture, the software development is likely to stumble. The architecture documents the shared understanding of the important design decisions taken during the development. Multiple viewpoints typically address th...

The intent of this paper is to explore the application of information obtained from fully polarimetric data for land cover classification. Various land cover classification techniques are available in the literature, but still uncertainty exists in labeling various clusters to their own classes without using any a priori information. Therefore, the present work is focused on analyzing useful in...

We often use the term ‘commitment’ to make claims of apparent normative import. An ontologically scrupulous philosopher says that she cannot accept a certain principle because it would commit her to abstracta. A conscientious friend says that he’d like to make your party but feels bound by a prior commitment. A campaigning politician says that she’s the only candidate who’s really committed to ...

OST of us believe that there are conditions in which war is justified and M thus that there are conditions in which the individual soldier is morally permitted, and nearly as often morally required, intentionally to attack and even to kill other human beings. Many people, indeed, accept this quite uncritically, often assuming that war is a special condition in which morality, if it applies a t ...

Franklin Delano Roosevelt left us with the notion that we cannot do without Russia. But in post-war world, a tough approach to Russia has prevailed, one based on Sir Winston Churchill’s Fulton concept: there can be only total and uncompromising struggle of “countries freedom” against “tyranny.” And you need have an overwhelming superiority military power ensures “mutual understanding Russia.”1 ...

Abstract A 39–year–old Filipino man was admitted for dyspnea and lower limb edema about a month, in combination with stable cardiac enzymes movement (TnT 128>78>115 ng/dl), fluctuating unspecific inflammatory profile hepatic impairment. Trans–thoracic echocardiography confirmed heart failure (HF) setting of eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy, diffuse hypokinesia severe global ...

Introduction. Modern dialogue in the sciences of education plays an extremely important role as a tool for making scientifically based decisions, means evaluating productivity innovations proposed by various authors. However, practice modern scientific discussions pedagogy fixes lot problems. The organisation dialogues, which are correct from point view logic and content, participants carefully...

A quantitative X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) study has been undertaken on different experimental data sets of ZrN thin films deposited using reactive Bipolar Pulsed Dual-Magnetron Sputtering (BPDMS) silicon/stainless steel substates, to obtain dense, pure and homogeneous coatings, free from morphological defects. Zirconium nitride (ZrN) occupies a central role within the class transiti...

In a recent case in Great Britain, a couple described as “white” underwent in vitro fertilisation and gave birth to twins described as “black”. In the sense of a fair adjudication of this particular case, serving justice requires a thick description and a sensitive understanding of the relevant facts. We have only a few facts, but they may be sufficient to serve justice in this first sense. We ...

One of the earliest uses of radioiodine was as a tool for the study of thyroid physiology (1-7). Estimations of the relative quantities of isotope stored in the thyroid have been made by means of a Geiger-Muller tube held over the gland and by determining the amount present in the urine and blood. The rate with which the level of radioiodine changes in these compartments has also been studied (...
