∗ This invited paper draws on extracts from the two papers J. Bohn, V. Coroama, M. Langheinrich, F. Mattern, M. Rohs: Disappearing Computers Everywhere Living in a World of Smart Everyday Objects (Proc. of New Media, Technology and Everyday Life in Europe Conference, London, UK, April 2003) and Friedemann Mattern: Ubiquitous Computing: Scenarios for an Informatized World (In: Zerdick, A.; Picot...

Toxicity of hexavalent chromium (Cr(6+)) was focused on with a publication of EU RoHS directive, a novel method to determine hexavalent chromium is developed. It is a combination of energy dispersion X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF), spot test, alkali digestion and UV-vis spectrophotometric analysis. First, by EDXRF screening, the presence or absence of element Cr was established. Spot t...

ROHs are long stretches of DNA homozygous at each polymorphic position. The proportion genome covered by and their length indicators the level origin inbreeding. Frequent common within same population define ROH islands indicate hotspots selection. In this work, we investigated in a total 1131 pigs from 20 European local pig breeds three cosmopolitan breeds, genotyped with GGP Porcine HD Genomi...

Recycling treatment of cable insulation resin generated from electric wires and cables was investigated. Conventional insulation PVC contains a lead component, tribase, as a thermal stabilizer and lead removal is necessary to recycle this PVC as insulation resin. This paper describes a solid surface adsorption method using ion exchange resin to remove the fine lead containing particles from PVC...

sea shores of gilan province is one off the biggest tourist attractions in iran. this area have valuable forests and grasslands. in addition it provides significant amount of corps like rice, tea, olive. considering this facts, environmental protection of this area must be priority for national government. however waste management instruction have been ratified in iran, there isn’t any specific...

A series of 18 alcohols (ROH) has been designed with an enthalpy of deprotonation in the gas phase (H(DP)) in the range 13.8-16.3 eV. The effects of excess electron attachment to the binary alcohol-uracil (ROH...U) complexes have been studied at the density functional level with a B3LYP exchange-correlation functional and at the second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory level. The photoel...
