The IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) has been adopted as the de facto standard for IT Service Management (ITSM). This Paper discusses the value of ITIL-based maturity assessments for the IT service recipient in an outsourcing arrangement. We present the Client Outsourcing Maturity Model (COMM), a three-dimensional framework developed at HP Labs, and we provide an example of its assessment metho...

The atomic force microscope (AFM) is unique in its capability to capture high-resolution images of biological samples in liquids. This capability will become more valuable to biological sciences if AFM additionally acquires an ability of high-speed imaging, because 'direct and real-time visualization' is a straightforward and powerful means to understand biomolecular processes. With conventiona...

To perform a capacitive current switching test (CCT) at AC extra-high-voltage (EHV) and above level, this paper proposes new multi-transformer synthetic circuit (MTSC) method that replaces the general using capacitor banks. An MTSC has simpler structure compared to other testing methods higher equivalence (especially recovery voltage TRV) validity. Using method, CCTs for breakers (CBs) of 420 k...

The current high level of interest in neutrino properties is well justified. Neutrino properties (such as masses, mixings, magnetic moments etc.) are of interest for a variety of reasons: (i) in their own right as fundamental parameters and (ii) as harbingers of new physics beyond the standard model (if e.g. mi 6= 0, θi 6= 0, μi 6= 0 etc.). I will not review here the kinematic limits on masses ...
