1 Abstract Digital developed the intermediate system-to-intermediate system (IS-IS) intradomain routing information exchange protocol for the DECnet Phase V network layer architecture. This protocol, which has been adopted by the International Organization for Standardization, is based on a link state routing algorithm. The benefits derived from the IS-IS protocol include a self-stablizing meth...

polyacrylonitril (pan)-supported chitosan (cs) nanocomposite membranes were prepared by cross-linking the cs with 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (apteos) via sol-gel method. pervaporative performances of the cs-sio2/pan membrane for dehydration of aqueous alcohol solutions were investigated. from sem cross-sectional images of the membrane, the spongy pores and the finger-like pores were found in...

The oesophageal epithelium of patients with reflux oesophagitis has been studied by means of computer aided morphometry. Measurements of histological features were made on biopsies from six cases before and after treatment. The size and elongation of the nuclei and their variation, the number of nuclei per unit length or per unit sectioned area, and the size and number of nucleoli per nucleus w...

In this paper a novel anti-reflection (AR) coating based on silicon nano-bars is designed and its impact on the performance of crystalline silicon (c-Si) thin-film solar cells is extensively studied. Silicon nano-bars with optimized size and period are embedded on top of the active layer, under a 100nm Si3N4 layer. As a result of the proposed layer stack, an inhomogeneous intermediate layer wit...

During cerebellar development, anchoring centers form at the base of each fissure and remain fixed in place while the rest of the cerebellum grows outward. Cerebellar foliation has been extensively studied; yet, the mechanisms that control anchoring center initiation and position remain insufficiently understood. Here we show that a tri-layer model can predict surface wrinkling as a potential m...
