This paper concerns the problem of agent migration between open societies. In particular, it focuses on the problems of an agent entering an open society. Two functional levels in open societies are recognized, the language and interaction level, and the knowledge and performance level. It is argued that a functional approach to those levels, permitting that social roles and social processes be...

The skin has been used as a port for systemic delivery of therapeutic agents since several decades. The composition of stratum corneum renders it a daunting barrier to the topical and transdermal administration of therapeutic agents. The number of drug molecules for transdermal delivery is limited owing to the physicochemical restrictions. Iontophoresis is an effective technique for physically ...

generally, there are four approaches to social phenomena in soial sciences: the agent-based approach, the structural approach, the functional approach, and the critical realistic approach. these approachs, with respect to their specific interpretation of social phenomena, concentrate on the behavior of agents or on the structural charctristics or on both to arriv at explanations. this article i...

the main aim of this research is to determine optimal leaching conditions; eh, ph and complexing agent concentrations, for recovery of copper from hydroxide sludges such as those produced by electroplating shops, metal finishers, treatment of acid mine drainage, and industrial wastewater in general. this has been preceded by a theoretical approach and numerical and computer calculation. potenti...

An alternate approach to emergency risk minimization, based on lazy calculations and high-level functional interpretation is presented in this article. This approach is compared with classical imperative approach, based on statistical analysis on real data in order to prove its effectiveness.
