Abstract Clays from the Saïss basin (northern Morocco) used traditionally in ceramic industry Fez area were studied using mineralogical and physicochemical techniques to evaluate their potential suitability as raw materials for ceramics manufacture. X-ray diffraction was determine composition. The physical properties determined particle-size distribution consistency limits. chemical composition...

The emergence of commercially-available network interface controllers (NICs) with remote direct memory access (RDMA) capability and the prospect of their tighter integration with the host memory system motivate the design of distributed systems based on an RDMA paradigm. A recent example is the Direct Access File System (DAFS). DAFS clients communicate requests to servers using lightweight Remo...

An automated reasoning program has provided invaluable assistance in answering certain previously open questions in mathematics and in formal logic. These questions would not have been answered, at least by those who obtained the results, were it not for the program's contribution. Others have used such a program to design logic circuits, many of which proved superior (with respect to transisto...

In 1944 the Association for Education in Citizenship published a pamphlet entitled ‘Health’ by Major Jerry Morris1 (of the Royal Army Medical Corps), as one of a series of Handbooks for Discussion Groups. The preface to the pamphlets in this series said that they were intended to be used by discussion circles concerned with the social, economic and political problems that arose from the Second ...
