Office settings and public places are indeed very different places. Whereas the development of mobile technologies has been informed by insights regarding the office the same cannot be said about the knowledge regarding public places. Still, mobile technologies are frequently used in public places. In this paper we focus on the problem of engaging with technology while others are present, which...

During the past year we have been engaged in an effort to develop a prototype community of fine-grained agents to support the orbit determination process for the SOHO [1] mission. This paper presents a high-level overview of what was accomplished.

In the present paper we report on the difference in angular sizes between radio-loud and radio-quiet CMEs. For this purpose we compiled these two samples of events using Wind/WAVES and SOHO/LASCO observations obtained during 1996-2005. It is shown that the radio-loud CMEs are almost two times wider than the radio-quiet CMEs (considering expanding parts of CMEs). Furthermore we show that the rad...

Since the late 1990s, vendors of integrated management tools called ERPs (enterprise resource planning) have found their primary market, mainly large companies, is saturated. To find new customers, they have begun to market these products to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) (generally with about 100 to 500 employees) (Deep, Guttridge, Dani & Burns, 2007; Muscatello, Small & Chen, 2003). Howe...

This work is dedicated to the study, in the framework of known models of coronal loops, of cold long loops observed in several spectral lines by SOHO. In particular an observation made by SOHO/CDS in the O V (629.73 A) line show a very high speed ow along a loop. The comparison with steady state siphon ow loop models leads to the conclusion that such loop cannot be in steady state; in particula...

Post-authoritarian Indonesia has shown some sub-national political leaders fell from power before their first term while others have survived through it. I argue that the durability of these leaders is influenced by two factors: strategy of extraction and populist policy. Sub-national leaders need to extract in order to collect resources and in turn finance political strategies to maintain thei...

Recently determined heavy element abundances 1-3 have led to significant changes in our understanding of the internal structure and constitution of the Sun. It turns out that the standard solar models calculated with the new abundances are significantly different from the helioseismic results which were in a good agreement with the previous solar models. Figure 1 shows the relative difference b...

Studies of the origin of coronal heating and acceleration of the solar wind invoke high-frequency Alfvén waves. Here we suggest a source for such waves associated with twisted magnetic loops emerging on the solar surface and reconnecting with the open field. We identify the loops with the ephemeral regions (small-scale bipoles) observed by ground-based instruments and by SOHO. To characterize t...

Mount Laurel, N.J., to the nearby town of Hainesport, N.J., my colleagues and I unveiled our new medical facility at an open house for our new community. We invited thousands of existing and prospective patients to tour our state-of-the-art facility. We wanted to show off the hard work we had invested in selecting the office location, designing the floor plan and decorating the interior. We owe...
