In applications such as banking, reservation systems, inventory, and command and control it is desirable to allow updates to replicated data even during communications delays or failures. We present a technique that allows each site to pre cess updates regardless of the state of the network -to continue to update its own cow of the data and to process information about updates at other sites wh...

This paper presents experimental data on shear-stress-driven liquid water films a horizontal plate formed by the condensation of superheated steam. The results were obtained in Experimental Multi-phase Measurement Application (EMMA) at University Duisburg-Essen. film thickness was spatially and temporally investigated with an optical measurement system. Furthermore, resulting local heat transfe...

Cloud-climate interactions are one of the greatest uncertainties in contemporary general circulation models (GCMs) (Cess et al. 1989, 1990), and the present study has focused on one aspect of this. Specifically, combined satellite and near-surface shortwave (SW) flux measurements have been used to test the impact of clouds on the SW radiation budget of two GCMs. Concentration is initially on SW...

The ambient calculus is a process calculus for describing mobile com putation We develop a theory of Morris style contextual equivalence for proving properties of mobile ambients We prove a context lemma that allows derivation of contextual equivalences by considering contexts of a particular limited form rather than all arbitrary contexts We give an activity lemma that characterizes the possib...
