The field of molecular ion spectroscopy is presently an area of remarkable vitality, in which important discoveries that affect many diverse subfields of science are being made at a truly impressive rate. Even the most current reviews 0f this subject (1-4), written as recently as mid-1983, are already obsolete. Exciting new technolog!cal progress, particularly, the advent of tunable narrowband ...

The design and development processes of complex technical systems are of crucial importance to the competitiveness of a technology-oriented enterprise. These processes are characterized by high creativity and strong non-deterministic dynamics. Established information science methods, however, are intended for more deterministic work processes. They cannot be effectively applied to support creat...

Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Califomia Institute of Technolog) 4800 Oak Grove Drive, Pasadena, California 91 109-8099. (Dated: September 15,2003) We present a method for designing quantum circuits that perform non-unitary quantum computations on n-quhit states prohabilistically, and give analytic expressions for the success probability and fidelity. Our scheme works by embedding the desired non-u...

Along with BACnet, LONWORKS is also increasingly accepted as a de-facto standard for building management communication protocol. A few years ago, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries developed these communication gateways for packaged air-conditioners,(1) but the recent market need is increasingly shifting to large capacity and high performance. In recent building management systems for packaged aircond...

This paper develops the conceptual framework of barriers faced by the decision makers and management personnel of health sector. The main theme of this paper is to give a clear understanding about the adaption barriers of health technology faced by developing societies. The information about barriers would be useful for policy makers to decide about the particular technology. So that they can f...

In May 2014, we organized the Fifth International Automated Negotiating Agents Competition (ANAC 2014) in conjunction with AAMAS 2014. ANAC is an international competition that challenges researchers to develop a successful automated negotiator for scenarios where there is incomplete information about the opponent. One of the goals of this competition is to help steer the research in the area o...

implants, should meet specific interrelated requirements for their biological, physical, mechanical, and technolog ical character [1]. Development of biocompatible materi als is enhanced by nanotechnology and plasma technolo gies [2, 3]. In particular, such technologies can be applied for creation of special porous coatings on the surface of intra tissue implants Porous coatings of this type ca...

In contrast o SF literature, most SF films have responded negatively to technolog, seeing it as a force in contemporary society that has had a deleterious effect on the quality of human life. Herbert Marcuse and Jacques Ellul, two of the most pessimistic analysts, have expressed their criticisms of technology in ways that also find expression in some of these films, which are preoccupied with m...
