In this work, we demonstrate the power of providing a common set of operating system services to Grid Archi-tectures, including high-performance I/O, communication, resource management and process management. AGrid[1] enables the sharing, selection, and aggregation of a wide variety of geographically distributed resourcesincluding supercomputers, storage systems, data sources, and s...

Topical application of the tumor promoter 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol13-acetate (TPA) to SENCAR mouse skin results within 48 h in a 3-fold elevation of xanthine oxidase (XO) activity, an enzyme capable of gen erating the reactive oxygen species Superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. The antiinflammatory steroid fluocinolone acetonide, an inhibitor of TPAinduced hyperplasia, as well as the multiple sta...

erating rat liver under specific experimental conditions has been evaluated by autora diographic and biochemical methods. A rapid disappearance of the labeled thymidine from the blood in the 1st 10 mm was accompanied by a rapid incorporation of the radio activity into the acid-soluble fraction and DNA of the liver cells. Two mm after ad ministration, label was found in T?tIP, TDP, TTP, and DNA....

Two facts stand out unambiguously in today’s global business. One, international alliances are prolif erating, underscoring the strategic importance managers increasingly attach to “competition through cooperation. ” Two, trust is key to successful international alliances. Together, these two facts point to the need to better understand trust, a task that was attempted in an earlier article (Pa...

based on the point of view of geometrical representation of an intuitionistic fuzzy set, we take into account all three parameters describing intuitionistic fuzzy set, propose a kind of new method to calculate correlation and correlation coefficient of intuitionistic fuzzy sets which is similar to the cosine of the intersectional angle in finite sets and probability space, respectively. further...

module over a ring is a general mathematical concept for many examples of mathematicalobjects that can be added to each other and multiplied by scalar numbers.in this paper, we consider a module over a ring as a universe and by using the notion of reference points, we provide local approximations for  subsets of the universe.
