Modern Biotechnology has become the greatest issue of our time. According to Lovei et al (2010), the level of attention given by the general public towards Modern Biotechnology is possibly unparalleled since the appearance of atomic bomb. Similarly, here in Ethiopia, the issue is drawing the attentions of many enormously. Recently the Ethiopian Academy of Sciences (EAS) organized public lecture...

A Look at Modern File Systems

Introduction In recent years, a great deal of work has been done on distributed and parallel file systems. Although the motivations behind these two types of file systems are quite different, they share many underlying characteristics and techniques. Distributed file systems need to provide clients with efficient, usable, and scalable high-bandwidth access to stored data. Parallel file systems ...

A look at the formation of ISIS from the perspective of post-modern terrorism

Terrorism has been divided in several directions. One of the most important conceptual divisions of terrorism is its division into three types of traditional, modern and postmodern which, while possessing common characteristics, share their own characteristics.

Pitting Corrosion of Metals A Review of the Critical Factors

Pitting corrosion is localized accelerated dissolution of metal that occurs as a result of a breakdown of the otherwise protective passive film on the metal surface. This paper provides an overview of the critical factors influencing the pitting corrosion of metals. The phenomenology of pitting corrosion is discussed, including the effects of alloy composition, environment, potential, and tempe...
