Mode coupling due to scattering by weak random inhomogeneities leads to the loss of coherence in the wave field measured a long distances of propagation. This in turn leads to the deterioration of coherent source localization ...

There are a number of factors that contribute to heavy me tal contamination in agricultural soils including deficient management of solid waste, waste water disc harge, irrigation with contaminated water, and use of ...

This study examines the growing role of globalization in increasing small states vulnerability to hegemonic powers. Lebanon, a country which has been racked by civil war, foreign interventions, and recurring political ...

Rivers whose basins are underlain by limestone possess a high buffering capacity for discharged pollutants. During the discharge of metals in the aquatic environment, metals are partitioned between the sediment and the ...

We consider the spin representation of Artin’s braid group, which has a negative index of one and was originally given by D. D. Long and explicitly computed by J.P.Tian. In our work, we find sufficient conditions under ...

This paper introduces reconfigurable computing and MorphoSys, which is a reconfigurable system. It also explains the architecture of its reconfigurable hardware part. Then, it presents two spreadsheet models for the operation ...

Software quality improvement process remains incomplete if it is not initiated and conducted through a wide improvement program that considers process quality improvement, product quality improvement and evolution of human ...

This paper proposes a cache consistency scheme based on a previously proposed architecture for caching database data in MANETs. The original scheme for data caching stores the queries that are submitted by requesting nodes ...
