Micromachined deformable mirrors (DMs) have enabled rapid advances in applications ranging from large telescope astronomy and free space laser communication to biological microscopy and retinal imaging over the past decade. In this talk I describe our efforts at Boston University and at Boston Micromachines Corporation to design, fabricate, and control MOEMS DMs for adaptive optics (AO) applica...

This is a set of lecture notes which present an economical development of measure theory and integration in locally compact Hausdorff spaces. We have tried to illuminate the more difficult parts of the subject. The Riesz-Markov theorem is established in a form convenient for applications in modern analysis, including Haar measure on locally compact groups or weights on C∗-algebras...though appl...

This paper proposes a hybrid heuristic optimization method based on genetic algorithm and immune systems to maximize the benefits of distribution network operators (DNOs) accrued due to sizing and placement of distributed generation (DG) units in distribution networks. The effects of DG units in reducing the reinforcement costs and active power losses of distribution network have been investiga...

To cope with the complex economical, societal, science and engineering challenges in the new era, it is proposed to promote the spirit of renaissance scientists and engineers, as well as the spirit of open mind, and the inspiration of innovative ideas. The definition and characters of renaissance scientists and engineers are given. Renaissance scientists and engineers are those not only underst...

In this paper, we discuss the use of ontologies for semantic business process management. In particular, we address system and process integration challenges encountered in the real world, based on the example of the telecom domain: Internet-based telephony service (Voice over IP). Various aspects of ontology development are covered including relations to industry standards, ontology creation m...

Basing on the integration of two models, RBAC and TBAC, an access control model called Role-Task Based Access Control (R&TBAC) is given, which takes two parts as combining sites, one is the role and trustee, the other is the role permission assignment and trustee permissions. A set of fundamental conceptions, a series of authorization processes, a formalized description and some modeling tools ...

In this study we want to analyze effects of change in exchange rates on the export, import, product prices and others macroeconomic variables. The method which has been used in this study is based on co integration method and vector autoregressive method. In this study first the long-term relationships between variables are determined and then the short-term relationship between variables will ...

In this paper, we propose a model-driven approach for web-service development with the intention of IT-Infrastructure integration in enterprise models. This implies the extension of existing conceptual modeling languages with language constructs that aim at model information transparency on a web-service basis. Therefore, we assess at the grammatical specification of conceptual modeling languag...

The article deals with the problems of political and economic processes in Kazakhstan since independence in the context of globalization. It analyzes the geopolitical situation and selfpositioning processes in the world after the end of the "cold war". It examines the problems of internal economization of the Republic for 20 years of independence. The authors argue that the reforms proceeded in...

An electronic marketplace (e-marketplace) is a promising architectural model to develop collaborative supply chain management and integration platforms (Premkumar, 2003). The e-marketplace philosophy is based on a collection of economically motivated companies that need to cooperate with each other by exchanging data, resources, and competences. To this aim, competitive technical and economical...
