The heating in Enceladus in an equilibrium resonant configuration with other saturnian satellites can be estimated independently of the physical properties of Enceladus. We find that equilibrium tidal heating cannot account for the heat that is observed to be coming from Enceladus. Equilibrium heating in possible past resonances likewise cannot explain prior resurfacing events. © 2007 Elsevier ...

Network and system management activity permanently evolves to expand its scope in term of target entities as well as management tasks to answer IT environment complexity. Consequently, management application are moving to distributed and open approaches. Likewise management information have to deal with recent issues such as heterogeneity and scaleability. This paper presents and analyses these...

For effective components, non-functional aspects must be added to the application functional code. Likewise enterprise middleware and component platforms, in the context of Grids, services must be deployed at execution in the component containers in order to implement those aspects. This paper proposes an architecture for defining, configuring, and deploying such Technical Services in a Grid pl...

Killing of intracellular Penicillium marneffei conidia is demonstrated in gamma interferon-lipopolysaccharide-activated human THP1 and mouse J774 cells. Iron overload significantly reduces the antifungal activity of macrophages. Likewise, exogenous iron enhances and iron chelators inhibit the extracellular growth of P. marneffei. These results suggest that iron availability critically affects i...

We introduce Grid-based SensorDCSP, a geometrically structured benchmark problem for the study of distributed CSP algorithms. This domain provides realistic structure of the communication and tracking constraints. We formally define this problem, and perform its worst-case complexity analysis. Likewise, we provide an average case empirical analysis of the AWC algorithm, studying its behavior on...

Greek mythology and philosophical speculations were the first human productions on madness and psychiatry. Likewise, the origins of genetics sink their roots in a very remote and difficult time. This work tries to give an idea of the relationship between genetics and psychiatry through the myth and reality.

Circaseptan (Weekly) Rhythms in Smoking Cessation Considerations Smokers’ rhythms in contemplating quitting or making quit attempts are poorly understood. Tobacco control has focused on annual events (eg, New Year’s Day), but circaseptan (weekly) time cycles may likewise exist. For example, many illnesses such as strokes are more common on Mondays.1 Do cessation behaviors also have weekly rhythms?

Many activities undertaken by the forensic psychiatrist have nothing to do with dynamic psychotherapy, and rightly so. Likewise, the main thrust of dynamic psychotherapy, is independent of forensic issues. Nevertheless, there is a pre serve of clinical responsibility within forensic psychiatry which, on occasion, justly invokes the aid of dynamic psy chotherapy. This may be when the scope of th...

There is narrow selectivity in cotton with regards to soil-applied herbicides, meaning that rates needed for effective weed control can likewise cause cotton injury, especially when environmental conditions are less than optimal for cotton emergence and growth. The objective of this research was to determine the influence of seed size, vigor, and planting depth on cotton injury from soil-applie...

There are multiple ethical issues that clinicians must navigate in the course of providing psychological and rehabilitative services. Such responsibility requires ongoing decision-making, process review, and adept clinical judgment. Moreover, adjunctive supervision and consultation promotes proficiency and clinical accountability. Likewise, continuous critical self-evaluation helps identify pro...
